Prince of Chaos

Chapter 226 Tax System Disturbance
Emperor Wanli has drifted away. Ever since he knew that the people of Xishan were going to give him the Wanmin Umbrella, Emperor Wanli was in a much better mood. He used to have a little appetite, but now he is much better. He can eat three or four meals at a time. A Big Mac butter bread, three or four cans of herbal tea and fairy happy water.

Now I feel that he is more energetic than ever, after all, it is an achievement that he can't even imagine!
Although Emperor Wanli also heard that when some officials did a good job in the local area, there would be a tradition of people organizing to give Wanmin umbrellas to the departing officials, but Emperor Wanli never believed in this. He felt that these routines were almost all officials. It was a farce they directed and acted themselves, so from the beginning to the end he would not regard this achievement as a manifestation of an official's ability.

Of course, the officials will not look at it.Because the officials of the Ministry of Officials also understand what is going on, so if you want to be promoted, you have to honestly dig into the camp, honestly find the backstage, hold your thighs, contact some fellow countrymen, fellowship and other official contacts , Of course, the money can't be given less, otherwise the official still won't be promoted.

However, although the officialdom has been corrupted to this point, there are still some people with ideals and aspirations who stand out in this big dye vat. After all, the light of truly capable people will not be obscured.

Otherwise, a small county magistrate like Hai Rui, who only came from a family background, would not be famous in the official circles of Ming Dynasty. Although there is the so-called Xu party behind this, but if Hai Rui has no ability, it is Xu Jie and Zhang Juzheng. It was useless for them to push him as hard as they could.

Therefore, in addition to connections and financial resources, ability is also very important if you want to be promoted!
The officials of the outer dynasty also vaguely heard that the people of Xishan were planning to give Wanmin Umbrella to Emperor Wanli. When they heard the news, they were surprised at first, and then laughed.I thought this was just a little trick played by the emperor for his own amusement.Didn't really take it to heart.Normally, you should do what you should do at work. In short, you will not forget to continue to go to Shuwanli Emperor to take back the Wanli Street tax system and go to the Meridian Gate to kowtow and scold him in the name of being a loyal minister.

Unfortunately, it was all wrong.Now that Zhu Changluo is behind him to give advice to Emperor Wanli, Emperor Wanli will not take these painless memorials and scoldings to heart, he will just ignore it and wait for the people of Xishan to come and give him the Wanmin Umbrella .

Under such a weird balance, there will always be someone who sees through the illusion and sees the truth.

For example, Shen Shixing, who is entrusted with home-based care, has resigned from the position of chief assistant three times as usual. Unfortunately, the script did not go according to the conventional method.

When he asked for resignation for the second time, Emperor Wanli kept his memorial, and there was no reply.

According to the past rules, at this time, Emperor Wanli should have photographed an eunuch to say a few words on the scene, pretending to keep him for a while, but unfortunately, he didn't.

Therefore, Shen Shihang, who had been waiting for several days, was a little uncertain about the situation.

So, after writing big characters for most of the day, he went to the library to resign.

As a result, the situation this time was the same as last time, and there was still no response.

Unsurprisingly, not only Shen Shixing was a little uncertain, but even Wang Xijue, who was now called "Wang Fu" by the officials, was a little at a loss, and the only thing that comforted him was that Emperor Wanli still let him take care of the cabinet affairs temporarily.

Therefore, Wang Xijue, who was anxious, could only attribute this situation to Emperor Wanli's poor health, and he didn't want to affect the court.

After all, when a chief assistant resigns, the important officials outside the imperial court will change accordingly.This movement can be said to move the whole body by pulling one hair.

Therefore, Wang Xijue could only find a reason for himself to reconcile his current situation.

Perhaps it will be fine when Emperor Wanli is in better health, or the Crown Prince takes another step forward.

Wang Xijue thinks wildly in the cabinet every day, and doesn't worry about many things. Now the only person who can still manage in the cabinet is the little brother Wang Jiaping. After all, Xu Guo is old, and he takes sick leave every now and then. Aiding the operation of the cabinet is simply a joke.

Therefore, now Wang Jiaping, who does not show mountains or waters, actually has the faint intention of showing his talents. From the perspective of Zhu Changluo, he almost wants to laugh at this political situation.

Is this still a cabinet with power over the six ministries?
When did you become so cautious, and where did the awe-inspiring righteousness that usually seals the imperial decree go?

It can be seen from this that Zhu Changluo can be regarded as seeing that these so-called auxiliary ministers will panic when the emperor stops.After seeing this result, Zhu Changluo also had some concerns about the battle between the monarch and his ministers that he might face in the future.

Ever since Shen Shixing heard his son talk about the Wanmin Umbrella at home, he silently kept it in his heart and began to plan secretly.

There was a voice in his heart telling him that this might be an opportunity, when he thought of an opportunity.Shen Shihang's heart is extremely hot, after all, he is not yet sixty, and for top senior officials, this age is simply the golden age.He didn't want to go back to his hometown in Wuxi so early to admire the flowers and raise fish for food and wait to die. He also wanted to grasp the highest "power" of the empire and devote himself to the country.

So, after Shen Yongmao had served Pan Jixun who was in the Xishan Sanatorium, and came back, Shen Shixing called Shen Yongmao to the study.

Shen Yongmao first saluted his father respectfully, then stood aside respectfully and waited for his father's instruction.

Shen Shixing looked at his son, and he first asked, "How is brother Shi Liang?"

Shiliang was Pan Jixun's name, and Pan Jixun changed his name several times in his life. At first, it was called Ziliang, but it was also named Weiliang, and finally changed to Shiliang.

Shen Yongmao replied: "Back to father, my husband is in much better health. However, these years, my husband has been going through wind and rain, soaking on the Yellow River embankment, and his body is still suffering from chronic illness and old injuries. Now he is in Xishan Nursing Home With careful treatment, it can be regarded as stable."

Hearing that Pan Jixun was still in good health in the Xishan Sanatorium, Shen Shixing felt relieved. Although Pan Jixun was ten years older than him, Pan Jixun was considered his old subordinate.Comparing his heart with his heart, Shen Shixing still thought that Pan Jixun would have a good end.

Shen Shixing sighed: "His Royal Highness has implemented a benevolent government. He can let Pan Jixun, a veteran who has contributed to the imperial court, have a care and support for his old age in the capital. Being a father is very gratifying and admirable."

Shen Yongmao said: "Yes. His Royal Highness has always been kind and considerate to the common people. The recent tax system turmoil is caused by His Royal Highness wanting to give the people of Xishan a reliance."

Hearing his son take the initiative to bring up the tax system turmoil, Shen Shixing looked at Shen Yongmao and asked, "What do you think about this?"
