Chapter 170 Rogue

Without looking at Gao Hongtu, Emperor Tianqi glanced around the hall and said loudly: "Dear ladies, do you have anything else to do? If not, then withdraw from the court!"

After Emperor Tianqi finished speaking, no one among the ministers below was talking. Emperor Tianqi glanced at Chen Hong, then stood up and walked out.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Tianqi walked up to the Long Bookcase with a smile. Not long after, Chen Hong also followed in. After taking a look at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "How is it? Where is Gao Hongtu?"

"Back to Your Majesty, Gao Hongtu is outside, but Mr. Yuan Yingtai, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has also come with him. The minister told him that Your Majesty did not summon him, but he did not listen and insisted on seeing Your Majesty." Chen Hong did not dare to look at Emperor Tianqi, and at the same time He also complained in his heart about Yuan Yingtai, how could he look like a scoundrel even though he was a civil servant. In fact, Chen Hong didn't understand that these civil servants in the imperial court had something in common with scoundrels.

Slightly startled, Emperor Tianqi didn't expect Yuan Yingtai to actually come, but it was just right that the Minister of the Ministry of Works was here for this matter. The last time he wanted to reorganize the Ministry of Works, he was vetoed by himself, so let's bring him in this time. !Looking at Chen Hong who was quite helpless, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Let them come in! Yuan Yingtai came just in time, so that I don't have to look for him in the future."

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Hong saluted Emperor Tianqi, turned around and left.

Not long after, Yuan Yingtai and Gao Hongtu walked in under the leadership of Chen Hong, and they knelt down together to salute Emperor Tianqi.

After letting the two of them get up, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Today I got a wise minister, Gao Aiqing. People in the court are talkative. What do you think? Tell me now! Mr. Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, is also here. I will accompany you. Let’s take a look at the total, what should we do with these things?”

"Your Majesty, last time I submitted a plan to rectify the Ministry of Works, Your Majesty did not approve it, and I understand it. But this time I feel that the time has come. Not only the Ministry of Works, but also the six yamen of the cabinet in Beijing should all be rectified. The only way is to do this. Only when orders and prohibitions are enforced can the affairs of the country be smooth." Yuan Yingtai bowed to Emperor Tianqi and said respectfully. He had been in Liaodong for many years and was well aware of the virtues of these officials in the capital. Now that he has the opportunity, he must change this status quo.

After glancing at Yuan Yingtai, Emperor Tianqi did not speak. Instead, he looked at Gao Hongtu and said with a smile: "Gao Aiqing, tell me what you think!"

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's attitude, Yuan Yingtai's face suddenly turned red, and he couldn't help but feel a little excited, so he spoke again.

"Yuan Aiqing, you have to say your words one sentence at a time and eat your food one bite at a time. Things in the world are not that simple. Many things affect the whole body. You have to think carefully. Since ancient times, whether it is reform or reform, or purge and establish new things, Which time was not a heavy loss? How many times were you successful? Don't always think that you have to do whatever you think of, think about it carefully. You are the dignified Minister of the Ministry of Industry and a high-ranking official in the court, why are you not as good as Gao Aiqing? Are you angry?" Seeing Yuan Yingtai's appearance, Emperor Tianqi immediately sank his face and said with some displeasure.

Seemingly realizing that Emperor Tianqi was angry, Yuan Yingtai suddenly looked serious, saluted Emperor Tianqi, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty is wise and powerful, these words are like enlightenment. As long as you have these words from Your Majesty, I will serve you." That's it. Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I must have thought carefully, and I will not take action without a detailed strategy."

Seeing Yuan Yingtai's expression and listening to what he said, Emperor Tianqi knew that he had been fooled. Unexpectedly, he dared to play games in front of the emperor? This Yuan Yingtai was clearly waiting for Emperor Tianqi's words!

After glaring hard at Yuan Yingtai, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said to Gao Hongtu: "Gao Aiqing, tell me! Ignore this scoundrel!"

"Your Majesty, I would like to say something for Mr. Yuan. Mr. Yuan is selfless and does not care about his personal reputation for the sake of state affairs. This kind of responsible person is rare in the court!" After saying this, he looked at Yuan Yingtai and said with respect: "This is a humble position.

I have heard of Mr. Yuan’s name a long time ago, and I am so lucky to meet you today. He is indeed a worthy person despite his great reputation. Mr. Yuan is quite like an ancient sage!"

"Mr. Gao, I'm so grateful! How can Mr. Yuan be so virtuous and capable as to dare to compare with the ancient sages? Today, Mr. Gao made a sensation in the main hall, quite like the ancient style. I believe that in the future, after Mr. Gao becomes famous, this will happen.

It's a good story!" Yuan Yingtai quickly looked like he didn't dare. He was polite with a smile on his face, but at the same time acted like you are talking about me.

Seeing the two people complimenting each other, Emperor Tianqi felt slightly reassured. Looking at the two of them, there should be no problem with their partnership in the future. However, there was a very unhappy expression on his face. He snorted coldly and asked

: "What do you think this place is? Do I set up the incense table with cards for you, and then you come to Taoyuan to have a sworn marriage?"

"Your Majesty, there are three sworn brothers in Taoyuan, and there are only two of us!" Yuan Yingtai's expression turned serious, and his tone of voice was also very serious, but what he said still made people laugh and cry.

After glancing at Yuan Yingtai, Emperor Tianqi said seriously: "Do you really think that I can let you do whatever you want? I tell you, don't make me anxious, otherwise I will do anything."

Seeing Emperor Tianqi's anger, Yuan Yingtai suddenly knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The sage said: 'If the king asks the minister to die, the minister has to die. If the father asks the son to die, the son has to die.' I, Yuan Yingtai, have been worthy of the heaven and earth all my life.

It can be said that it is the right place to die. Confucius said it was benevolence, and Mencius said it was justice! Today I can die in order to honor your majesty. I should die without regrets."

Seeing Yuan Yingtai's rogue appearance, Emperor Tianqi laughed angrily. Gao Hongtu on the other side was also stunned. He really didn't expect that Yuan Yingtai actually had such a side. What Gao Hongtu didn't expect was that Emperor Tianqi was so kind.

Emperor Tianqi can still tolerate Yuan Yingtai's temper. This is truly a wise emperor!

Seeing Gao Hongtu's expression, Emperor Tianqi felt that it was almost done. Seeing that Yuan Yingtai was still pretending, he couldn't help but get angry. Looking at Chen Hong, Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "Chen Hong, look at this, Mr. Yuan."

How should things be handled?”

"Back to the Emperor, Mr. Yuan has lost his manners in front of you and talked nonsense. The Meridian Staff should be thrown out. But Mr. Yuan has served in Liaodong for many years and has worked as Minister of the Ministry of Industry. He has worked hard and made great achievements. If he really beats it, what if it breaks?

It will damage His Majesty's reputation for being wise and benevolent. However, if this is not punished, if it spreads, others will inevitably imitate it in the future, which will damage His Majesty's divine power. Therefore, the minister feels that it is better not to beat him, but to use some other punishment. I heard that Mr. Yuan's Mansion

There is a Ling'er who is very smart and very popular with Mr. Yuan. Otherwise, bringing this Ling'er to the palace would be considered a punishment!" Chen Hong said with a smile as he looked at Yuan Yingtai with a smile.

At this time, Chen Hong's heart was filled with the pleasure of revenge. He did this last time, but he will do it again this time? Our family has been prepared for it.

"Your Majesty, I am aware of my crime and I deserve it. No matter how the emperor punishes me, I have no complaints. I beg the emperor to let Ling'er go!" After hearing what Chen Hong said, Yuan Yingtai turned pale with shock and said nervously.

After taking a look at Gao Hongtu, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Ling'er is a bird raised by Yuan Yingtai. Don't worry about it, dear, just let him kneel! Otherwise, our monarchs and ministers will not speak the law. I rejected his opinion last time

, you have been having conflicts with me these past few days!"

"Your Majesty is so magnanimous and magnanimous, and you are truly a wise king in the prosperous times!" Gao Hongtu understood now and admired Emperor Tianqi. When Emperor Tianqi signaled to him, he continued: "I have inspected the lives of craftsmen, and they are very poor.

The imperial court allocates a lot of money every year, but the amount given to them is very little. I think that a separate weapons manufacturing yamen should be established. It can be under the name of the Ministry of War, but it cannot be under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of War.

.There are two departments under this yamen: workshop and fine grinding. Fine grinding is to study and improve existing utensils, that is, firearms, including swords and armor, etc. As for the workshop, it should be specialized in the production of fine grinding.

Things. Because this yamen is mostly involved with the Ministry of War and produces mostly military products, everything should be affiliated with the Ministry of War. As for the modification and promotion of agricultural equipment, it should be under the Ministry of Household Affairs and be their responsibility."

Shaking his head gently, the Weather Emperor said hesitantly: "This won't work. The people in the Ministry of War make their own weapons, and the people in the Ministry of Household are in charge of farmland and water conservancy. This won't work. In the long run, there will definitely be problems. But Ai Qing's suggestion

It's very good. It is indeed possible to separate the two parts, but it still has to be under the name of the Ministry of Industry. There are many advantages to this. Firstly, the resistance to change will be much smaller. Secondly, it will not weaken the Ministry of Industry.

Status, these three can restrain each other."

Gao Hongtu didn't quite understand what Emperor Tianqi said, but Yuan Yingtai, who was kneeling on the ground, understood it and couldn't help but said loudly: "Your Majesty is wise, that is indeed the case."

Seeing Yuan Yingtai kneeling, Emperor Tianqi smiled and said: "Okay, get up! Don't talk about this matter first, let me think about it carefully."

Standing up slowly, Yuan Yingtai said with a serious face: "Your Majesty, I just came from Liaodong, and I still don't understand many things. But there is one thing that I understand very well. When I was in Liaodong, something happened

Ordinary things can only be done if you have a strong relationship with the superiors and subordinates. This is not a personal matter but a public matter. At that time, I felt that this was not going to work. As a governor of a province, it is so laborious to do anything.

, what about the other people?”

Kneeling on the ground again, Yuan Yingtai said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I am not making trouble unreasonably, nor am I angry with Your Majesty. I am really worried! This is really something that should be investigated and corrected! I hope that Your Majesty will respect all people in the world.
