At this time.Zhu Youxiao had already lived in a simple house in the Daming Garden, and only let Xu Guangqi, a scholar, work in the park and ponder the matter of the steam engine with him.Since Bi Maokang invented the process of crucible steelmaking, Daming has entered a new steel age, which has also laid a good foundation for Daming's steam engine manufacturing.Zhu Youxiao had already ordered the development of steam engines a few years ago.Moreover, according to Xu Guangqi's report, thanks to the efforts of Song Yingxing, who had been summoned by Zhu Youxiao to Jingte and promoted to an official of the Academy of Sciences, a major breakthrough had been made in the manufacture of steam engines some time ago, and many problems encountered in the process of manufacturing steam engines had to be solved because of the improvement of various materials.Now, Zhu Youxiao is in Daming Garden, and Xu Guangqi, Song Yingxing and others are trying to make the first steam spinning machine successful.In order to succeed in manufacturing as soon as possible and let Daming enter the era of steam industry, Zhu Youxiao also personally participated.Because of this, Zhu Youxiao basically handed over more of the internal affairs reform to Yuan Keli.But this does not mean that Zhu Youxiao is ignorant of outside affairs.As Zhang Xuan expected, Zhu Youxiao didn't know, but he didn't intervene personally.But what Zhang Xuan won't know is that Zhu Youxiao didn't choose to hide behind the scenes because he had the heart of Gou An.Rather, it is because Zhu Youxiao wants to paralyze those who resist the collection of the new commercial tax, and does not come forward in person until the end, which will affect the success of the reform of the new commercial tax."
Emperor, according to your instructions, Dongchang did not take arrest action against the King of Jin and others, and therefore, this morning, on the street outside Chongwenmen, His Royal Highness the King of Jin and some powerful people did organize the slaves and merchants, and took bricks and axes in unison, ambushed the household department that collected the new commercial tax, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce and the Xichang Flag School, and also killed and injured a number of officials and the Flag School, and the Governor of the West Factory, Wang Sanshan, personally intervened, and even ordered the King of Jin and his cadres to be treated as thieves and killed, but in the end they were stopped by the sudden appearance of Wei Ge Lao, I don't know how Wei Ge persuaded him, Wang Sanshan still chose to stop and went directly to the cabinet. ”Wei Zhongxian here reported to Zhu Youxiao what happened on the street outside Chongwenmen, and said: "In addition, according to the Dongchang eyeliner's report, the powerful bureaucrats of the Jin Dynasty and the clan also plan to directly come to Damingyuan to impeach Wang Sanshan and others, and intend to ask Your Majesty to kill Wang Sanshan and stop the new business tax. ”"Dongchang still pretends not to know!"
Zhu Youxiao replied.Then, Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Let them make trouble, I believe in Yuan Keli, he is different from Yuan Fu." ”"Yes!"
Wei Zhongxian replied, thinking that His Majesty still called Fang Congzhe Yuanfu, but Daming had already changed his head.As for the emperor to let Dongchang still pretend not to know, Wei Zhongxian also understood the emperor's deep meaning.Wei Zhongxian knew that if Dongchang made a move now, it would mean that his emperor would personally intervene, which would make those who opposed commercial taxes give up the illusion that the emperor would compromise.In this way, it is inevitable that there will be powerful businessmen who are unwilling to let their business profits directly choose to rebel, which will make it more difficult for the reform to succeed.It is better to hide behind the scenes, so that the powerful bureaucrats who oppose the new commercial tax outside mistakenly think that the emperor is not determined enough, and have illusions, thinking that there is no need to rebel directly at the risk of exterminating the nine clans, and the reform of the new commercial tax can be stopped in a relatively peaceful way, and in this way, a large number of people who oppose the commercial tax can be eliminated by the hands of Yuan Keli and others, so that even if someone rebels because of the new commercial tax in the future, the power will be reduced.In addition, in this way, it can also deepen the contradiction between Yuan Keli and other gentry who intend to change the commercial tax and the gentry of commercial origin."
The deeper the contradiction between the two sides, the more beneficial it is to the emperor and the people of the world, he is the emperor's domestic slave, he can't guess the emperor's intentions at this time, and mistakenly think that the emperor really doesn't dare to offend the people of the world anymore, and ruin his future in the inner court for some things outside his body!"
Wei Zhongxian thought secretly.After Wei Zhongxian went back, he said to Xu Xianchun, Yang Huan and the others: "The emperor has passed the word, and they will make trouble, so you just need to write down who is behind the scenes!"
In addition, if someone contacts you and buys you, they will also respond in vain, and when the time comes, just report it according to the truth, and try to make people outside feel that the emperor is not strict with Dongchang, do you understand?
”"Understood!"......
"The ministers ask to see Your Majesty!"
There's something important to play!
”"The ministers want to impeach Wang Sanshan and others for collecting new commercial taxes in the name of collecting new commercial taxes on Chongwenmenwai Street, committing wanton extortion and tyranny, and even slaughtering innocent people, so that the people's resentment is boiling!
Please give an order to behead Wang Sanshan and other traitorous ministers and evil officials!
”"Your Majesty!
We all know that you love the people like a son and are as holy as a lamp, but Wang Sanshan and they disregard the holy will, and through the king's order, they are killing on a large scale, and I ask your Majesty to uphold justice!
”The next day, early in the morning.Jin King Zhu Cunren, Cheng Anbo, Guo Yongzuo, Hanlin Zhang Xuan and other powerful bureaucrats came to the outside of Daming Garden at this time, and shouted to see His Majesty the Emperor.They all looked very excited.At this time, Zhang Xuan also said to Zhu Cunren, the king of Jin: "Your Highness, the lower officials have inquired clearly, Dongchang is now pretending to be blind, and it is estimated that Your Majesty is really looking at the determination of our people to stop commercial taxes!"
”Zhu Cunren said: "Then let Your Majesty take a good look at our determination, this king doesn't believe that he Yuan Keli can still kill me, the prince, even Your Majesty can't kill the nobles of the clan at will, not to mention, he is only a long-term worker for our Zhu family." ”Zhang Xuan smiled awkwardly after hearing this, and replied: "What the prince said is reasonable, learn to become a literary and martial artist, and the goods are in the emperor's family, no matter how high and powerful he is, he is just a lackey of the royal family, no matter how powerful the dog is, how can he bite the master, isn't it the opposite?"
”After hearing this, Zhu Cunren smiled more and more proudly, and asked, "However, why does Your Majesty still refuse to see us?"
”"Your Majesty must wait for Yuan Keli's reaction."
When Zhang Xuan was talking, Liu Ruoyu happened to come to Damingyuan at this time, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
”"Please also ask Gonggong Liu to tell Your Majesty, I want to see Your Majesty!"
Zhu Cunren and others replied.Liu Ruoyu hurriedly entered the palace, and then came to Zhu Youxiao, but saw that Zhu Youxiao was sawing wood and drawing drawings with a group of monks and supervisors, so he made a louder voice and shouted: "Emperor, there are many ministers outside clamoring to see you." ”Zhu Youxiao glanced up at Liu Ruoyu.Then, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, as if he was a faint gentleman who was obsessed with strange tricks, and said quite angrily: "Go away, don't come to disturb me!"
”Liu Ruoyu opened his mouth to speak, but it was not good to anger Zhu Youxiao, so he had to retreat.Here, Liu Ruoyu had to stand aside, not knowing what to do: "Should I go out and tell them about the situation, or should I stay here and stay still?"
”In the end, Liu Ruoyu still chose to stand still, he didn't dare to let people outside know that his emperor was now full of this strange trick.
