Chapter 619
Heart Eyes
Regarding Zhu Yunyou's arrangement for Feng Cheng and others to go to Fujian, there was no trouble in the court, and there was no need to pay attention to these things.
Simply put, the Governor's Office of the Five Army was originally a private place for Wu Xun, and the civil servant group had no power to intervene in the Governor's Office of the Five Army. Especially Feng Cheng, let alone Feng Guoyong's son and Feng Sheng's nephew,
Just being the little brother-in-law of the British emperor, this identity is enough to illustrate some problems.
What's more, he is also the right governor of the Right Army Governor's Office, second only to the left governor Mu Chun.
In fact, everyone understands that the two brothers-in-law of Emperor Ying Shi were firmly controlling the Right Army Governor's Office. Mu Chun was in charge of the Yunnan Metropolitan Division, Guizhou Metropolitan Division, Sichuan Metropolitan Division, Shaanxi Metropolitan Division, Guangxi Metropolitan Division and its garrison office.
And Feng Cheng led the right guard of the Beijing Huben in Beijing, and left the right guard, the right guard of the navy, the right guard of the Wude Guard, and the Guangwu Guard.
As for this trip, I also brought Zhu Yunyou's second uncle and brother-in-law, I didn't care much about it. This is Wu Xun's business, maybe I'm going to inspect the granary in Fujian on behalf of the emperor and so on.
Many people also know that most of the goods shipped back from the Ming Dynasty from Nanyang were docked in Fujian and Guangdong. They also know that in addition to some jewelry and spices, the Ming Dynasty also transported a lot of food back from Nanyang and other places.
It is said that many of the military rations in Goryeo were transported directly from the sea. They seemed to have no jewelry and spices were valuable, but even if things like grain were piled in warehouses, they would make people feel at ease. The Ming Dynasty now seems to be grain.
There is a full warehouse, but everyone knows that no matter how much food is, it will not be a bad thing.
What's more, thinking more carefully is that the king of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom is about to enter the capital. It is said to be a visit to the Hajj Temple, but that is to give individual decentness. Many people know that the Fujian Navy has actually gone to Ryukyu, and the king of Ryukyu cannot
He did not enter the court to apologize.
Who knows if Feng Cheng and others have any other thoughts? What's more, many people know that the usurpation of the country occurred in Annan before, and His Majesty was quite annoyed about this.
Many people are also speculating that maybe the Ming Dynasty was fighting Goryeo and would be about to use troops against Annan.
Although you are worried about your Majesty’s good martial arts, the civil officials will not say whether they have the ability to restrain the emperor or martial arts. It is actually no secret that their own emperors like to raise troops with great righteousness.
When Feng Cheng and others led some troops south, Yu Xin came to Wuying Hall, "Your Majesty, the troops who had fought against Goryeo before have also sent a report of war. I and others have drafted military merits."
Zhu Yunyou interrupted directly, seemingly a little unhappy, "Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Yu Da Situ, when will the Ministry of Revenue be in charge of military affairs?"
Yu Xin immediately knelt down and quickly defended himself, "I raised my head to report to Your Majesty. The Ministry of Revenue did not dare to abdicate power, and I did not dare to overthrow it. I discussed with the Ministry of War to repay the merits. This time I will report to Your Majesty the draft regulations."
Zhu Yunyou said without comment, "There are no matter in this matter, including the Governor's Office of the Five Army and the Director of the Ministry of War, and it has nothing to do with your Ministry of Revenue."
Yu Xin could only leave in shame. He was suffering now, but unfortunately His Majesty did not give him any chance.
The imperial court originally had a lot of expenses, and in addition, he used military service in Goryeo, so people ate horses and chewed more. In addition, after the war, he also had to pay rewards, pensions, etc., which was another large expenditure, which was all
It has to be spent.
There are indeed many places that the court needs to spend money, especially the places that need to spend money next. Yu Xin is not here to try to restrict the imperial power, he just wants to complain in advance, but just wants His Majesty to know what is going on.
But even though he had a good idea, the one sitting on the dragon throne was not a fuel-efficient lamp. Before Yu Xin even spoke, Zhu Yunyou scolded Yu Xin in advance, making Yu Xin unable to say anything else in the future.
come out.
Yu Xin could naturally complain, try to bear the emperor's anger and say some things in advance. But Yu Xin didn't dare, really didn't dare, and he also lost some of his youthful spirit.
It is said that Emperor Hongwu is domineering, and it is said that Emperor Hongwu is not ruthless in killing all civil and military officials. At present, the Emperor Yingxiu is not like Emperor Hongwu, but don’t think that Emperor Yingxiu is a good-for-nothing lamp. His blunt knife cuts his flesh even more.
A dilemma of life and death.
Thinking about my former confidant Zhuo Jing, who offended the emperor with a bright future and failed to follow the emperor's instructions, has suffered a lot of crimes in the past two years.
Anyone who doesn't know thinks that this is a rank of officials and an important official in the court, but anyone who knows that Zhuo Jing's career has almost reached its limit. Unless he is particularly able to endure, he may have some potential after the crown prince ascends the throne.
Opportunity returns to the center.
In the British court, Zhuo Jing was almost impossible to return to the center. Now he is not the emperor's confidant. It was just because he did not do things according to the emperor's wishes back then, but Zhuo Jing's "rebellion".
The emperor can be cautious, and there is no shortage of talented people in the court, and there is no shortage of officials who can take up some positions at any time.
Who asked Yu Xin to seize the handle for the emperor? The Ministry of Revenue must do the affairs of the Ministry of Revenue well, so don't worry about other things. Otherwise, the emperor would not think that Yu Xin is loyal to his duties, and the emperor could think
Yu Xin is the position of love for the power.
Seeing Yu Xin leaving in shame, Zhu Yunyou just smiled and said nothing.
Zhu Yunyou could naturally guess what Yu Xin thought, and he knew that Yu Xin would definitely be worried.
Whether it is the next Yellow River control or the possible action against Annan and Oirat, it requires a lot of money.
What's more, everyone knows that although the Ming Dynasty has seemed relatively peaceful in recent years, it seems that its family has become much richer. But if some things are really busy, it means that there will be some pressure.
Don’t forget that even if Goryeo is defeated, Goryeo will basically not be self-sufficient in a short period of time. At that time, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to completely let go. Some support for a short period of time is also the right one.
In the early years, I have been supporting Japan, and now I am supporting the two vassal states, Dongri and Fuyue. Many people think that the Ming Dynasty has also gained some benefits from it, but more people also understand that the Ming Dynasty did it.
Or 'lose business'.
After defeating Japan and Goryeo to enfeoffments, they still need to be supported in a short period of time, which is somewhat a burden.
Money is never enough to spend. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty did not seem to have a luxurious life. However, when the emperors of the Ming Dynasty spent money, they were even better than the other, which would put a lot of pressure on the Minister of Revenue.
Zhu Yunyou remembered something and looked at Wang Chengen and asked, "Our Grand Sikong hasn't pestered Grand Situ these days? Does this give Yu Xin time to enter the palace to ask for a meeting?"
Wang Chengen hurriedly said what he knew, "Emperor, Shangshu Yan has been busy recently. He said that the Ministry of Works' offices are all officials who are good at managing water conservancy, and they were transferred back in one breath. He also said that Shangshu Yan just two days ago
I went to the shipyard and saw the big ship.”
"Then he is a little busy, and he doesn't have time to pester Yu Xin." Zhu Yunyou laughed in silence and said, "This Yu Xin, I'm afraid that these days are not easy."
Wang Chengen continued, "Shangshu Yu has been a little busy recently. The royal family is asking for bank share, so it is time to share the dividends. I remember that the share has already been put into the warehouse."
Zhu Yunyou was unhappy at this moment and asked with a stern face, "The rebirth from the other end of the bank has not been sent to the governments yet?"
Wang Chengen was not complaining, but just doing his duty. "I'm afraid that the dividends from the treasury have been put into the warehouse, but the dividends from the treasury have been put into the warehouse, so he also invited His Highness to take a look."
Zhu Yunyou laughed in anger and said, "This is really good. I know that they can't afford to offend us, but I dare not drag our money. The royal family knew that our Ming Dynasty royal family was precious and had no hands.
Even if you don’t have any help, you can’t do anything to them!”
"Emperor." Wang Chengen was even more careful, and he could just defend Yu Xin. "I think I came to the other end of the Ministry of Revenue, and I felt that the court should use money in the next place, so I failed to pay the dividends of the royal family on time.
”
"Damn it!" Zhu Yunyou grabbed the memorial and smashed it hard at Wang Chengen, "Short-sighted thing! I know that the court needs to use more money, and now I can stop the dividends of the royal family. Is it true that I will not be able to do so?
Is it time to pay salaries to all officials? Then, should our treasury be taken away by them?!"
Wang Chengen quickly knelt down, crawling on the ground and daring to move. As for the other palace maids and eunuchs, they all knelt down.
The emperor was angry and buried in a million corpses. When a man was angry, blood splattered three feet!
Zhu Yunyou did have reason to feel angry. Perhaps Yu Xin also had their own difficulties. For example, there were many places that the court needed to spend money next, so at this time, you could consider intercepting some of the money so that the Ministry of Revenue could not take out the money.
But Yu Xinqian shouldn't have been sure, just intercepted the dividends of the royal family, and more importantly, he did not inform Zhu Yunyi.
The bank was created by Zhu Yunyou and also urged the royal family to invest. Originally, not all the royal family had invested in the stock, or some royal family members who were invested in the stock, just to "break money and avoid disasters", they just gave Zhu Yunyou one.
face.
Originally, the bank seemed to be on the right track, which has brought some benefits to the royal family. Now that the Ministry of Revenue has stopped paying dividends, the confidence that the royal family has finally accumulated may be completely destroyed at this time.
The most important thing is that Zhu Yunyou thinks this is an extremely bad momentum. Now he dares to stop the dividends of the royal family. Maybe it will become a common example in the future. If something happens, he will not distribute dividends of the royal family. Going further, he will not enter the house.
The dividends of the treasury are deducted.
In history, Emperor Chongzhen raised military funds, and the civil and military officials in the court were all crying for poverty. The civil and military officials in the court, and the nobles raised 200,000 taels of silver. When Li Zicheng's army entered the capital, they began to torture the Ming officials and searched their homes everywhere. Li Zicheng
The general under the account quickly made 5,000 pairs of sticks, and received a total of 70 million taels of silver!
Civil and military officials can be poor, but that is just superficially poor. They can cry poor, but they must not be wronged.
But the emperor's affairs are the emperor's affairs. If the royal family suffers grievances, it is also the emperor's affairs, and it has nothing to do with civil and military officials. Even establishing their authority with the royal family is also the favorite thing that officials of all dynasties like to do!
Yu Xin did a good job as the Minister of Revenue, and he did make a lot of contributions. But he shouldn't have to be smart, and he shouldn't have set such a bad start. This matter was also Zhu Yunyou
Things that will never be allowed!
Zhu Yunyou looked cold and he was very unhappy now. It seems that it is time for the Minister of Revenue to change people.
Yu Xin has been in this position for several years, and it is time for this old minister during the reign of Emperor Hongwu to give up this position.
Not to mention that Zhu Yunyou is unkind and righteous. The emperor should be cruel in many cases. Indecision is definitely not a quality that an emperor should have. Yu Xin basically announced the end of his career from the moment he was smart.
Zhu Yunyou would never allow his six ministers to be smart, especially to make some precedents that seem to be extremely bad for the future development of the Ming Dynasty. Some things he can do, but the ministers must not do!
Wuying Palace seemed to be extremely low. Even Wang Chengen, who was most familiar with Zhu Yunyou, was a little nervous at this moment, not to mention the other palace maids and eunuchs, they were all extremely careful, for fear of accidentally angering His Majesty the Emperor.
After handling the official duties for a day, Zhu Yunyou walked directly towards the Qianqing Palace. Zhu Yunyou can now make the decision on changing the Minister of Revenue, but he still has to discuss it with Lao Zhu.
Seeing Zhu Yunyou coming, Old Zhu said happily, "What's wrong? If you don't eat here, I'm afraid you can't eat anymore?"
"I almost got full of anger, so I came to Grandpa Emperor to sit down." Zhu Yunyou said angrily, "Then Yu Xin and Lao Lao are confused and dare to detain dividends from the royal bank. If you want to tell me, he is afraid that I think we are too kind to him.
Now.”
Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunyou with a smile and asked, "Will you chop his head? You snatch his home?"
Seeing Zhu Yunyou shook his head, Zhu Yunyou said, "That's the reason. You are still nostalgic. At most, you will be dismissed from office. If you want to say that he has served as the Minister of Revenue for too long, he should have retired. Now, is it still the same?
Few things happen, we also heard that he wants to quit."
Zhu Yunyou was stunned for a moment and laughed silently, "Grandpa Emperor means, then Yu Xin is not smart enough, has he already made plans?"
Old Zhu also laughed and said earnestly, "Those old foxes are all very sensible. It's not that we didn't like civil officials so much at the beginning. These individuals always make things difficult for us, and they all don't worry."
Zhu Yunyou also laughed and said, "He is quite sensible, so we will do what he wants. You are going to retire, let's go back to his hometown!"
Lao Zhu didn't say much, but based on his understanding of Zhu Yunyou, even if Yu Xin retired and returned home, the process would probably not be so easy. Yu Xin was smart enough to get out, and this is definitely no problem. However,
What is indispensable is to make the final contribution to the Ming Dynasty!
