eldest son of Ming dynasty

What Liu Jin was thinking about was not the happiness of the two young daughters of the Mei family, he was thinking about himself.Speaking of which, the emperor didn't like anything since he was the prince. If he had anything, he was a capable minister.

But what do these people have to do with him?People are capable, and in the future it will be the relationship between them and the emperor.

Zhang Yong recommended Wu Junchuan, and this time he also went out with him. It is still unknown what the result will be.And in terms of time, it has been several years, and the person surnamed Wu probably hasn't made any noise.

To put it bluntly, how can it be so easy to find the kind of ministers like Wang Yue and Yang Tinghe that the emperor likes?
So Liu Jin has been looking for a way out, he can't help it!

But a few days ago, seeing the emperor getting older, his little thoughts began to move again. It is natural for men to love women, young emperors, flirtatious in the world, these rootless people have not thought about it, but the emperor still can not?
Besides, eunuchs don't have the moral pressure of "flattery" like civil servants, especially Liu Jin, he doesn't care about that, as long as he can win the emperor's favor, let alone abduct two women, he will do even murder.

Liu Jin also knew about the rumors about the Mei Manor.In fact, no one in the capital knew that the Mei Mansion was rich, and it was true that businessmen were not allowed to take concubines, but they couldn't stand the fact that they were rich and bought so many beautiful women back.

Liu Jin wandered around the room for a while, and suddenly he thought of one more thing, to do things for His Majesty must be foolproof, there must be no negligence,

But who has seen Mei Huaigu's two younger sisters?

If it's a fake, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?
So after thinking about it, he still called Gu Dayong to discuss it.

The two eunuchs hid in the room and spoke these secret words carefully, but Gu Dayong began to mutter in his heart as soon as Liu Jin spoke.

"Brother Liu, can this be done? Your Majesty's temperament, if you know how many of us are playing tricks, Longyan will be furious, right?"

Liu Jin gave a 'tsk' sound and nodded his head, "You said you wouldn't move your mind, you really are. As long as His Majesty likes it, it's too late to be happy, so how can he blame us? He only thinks of us who are slaves It is obviously a good thing to be willing to put in effort to please him.”

Yeah?Gu Dayong was not sure, hesitated for a while, shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, Your Majesty said, we must be honest when we are on duty, and it is not fun to say anything. Especially..."

Especially this Majesty was born with the blessing of the ancestors. Linglong thinks everything through her mind more thoroughly than them. Others can hide it from others, but if you want to do things without telling him, is there a lot of pressure in your heart?
To put it in an exaggerated way, if a person who can't take care of things is really playing tricks in front of the emperor, he probably won't be able to sleep at night.Clever not to mention ruthless, once exposed, a layer of skin will be lost.

Seeing him like this, Liu Jin hated iron for being weak, "Dayong, are you really muddled? I don't understand His Majesty's temperament as well as you do? Think about it carefully, this kind of thing is good for your Majesty." Open your mouth? Your Majesty is determined to become a generation of Mingjun, he will tell you and me such things? But your Majesty is getting older, and he also has seven emotions and six desires. I thought to myself, if we can't do it properly, what use are we?"

Eunuch Liu is about to post an emoji in a hurry.

What's more, what he said was so blatant, Gu Dayong couldn't refute it for a while, and even felt that there was some truth in it.

"Then let's do it, I'll listen to Brother Liu."

"Hey, it would have been better." Liu Jin moved the candle out and buried her head deeper, "The problem now is that our family only has a word from Mei Huaigu, and we haven't seen what his two younger sisters look like." pass!"

Gu Dayong was clear right now, "It's a simple matter. Didn't I save two girls and send them to medical school? You can ask them to take a look first, it's just a matter of words."

That's what Liu Jin meant. He didn't have the heart to do things like saving people.

"Then trouble you, I will go out of the palace tomorrow. Mei Huaigu is in a hurry, and I guess he will go to see Dr. Tan early in the morning."

Gu Dayong asked again: "We made the matter so secretive, even if it finally works, how will His Majesty know that it is our credit?"

"You don't have to worry about that, I have my own plan."

That's what he said, but he didn't talk about it after he had his own trick, which made Gu Dayong feel a little fussy.

Isn't this when he is being taken advantage of and fooled him?

When he was asked to talk so much when he was working, he didn't talk about anything when it was really critical. He only said that he had a clever plan. Damn, what is your clever plan?

In this way, in the end, Liu Jin will receive the credit silently, and he doesn't even know when he received the credit.How did His Majesty know that Gu Dayong also contributed to it?

However, Liu Jin was a senior official after all, so Gu Dayong didn't dare to say more, so he had to go back first.

It's just that when he walked outside the door, his eyeballs rolled and he rolled his eyes a little.

……

……

It was early morning on the second day, and Zhu Houzhao was not in a good mood.

The reason for this was the remaining 160 million taels of silver.On that day, in order to use troops to the northwest, the emperor said that all military supplies this time would not be spent from the treasury.

It was also because the burden on the national treasury was not increased, so things went relatively smoothly. Otherwise, if there was no money, the minister would be forced to death. Who can do without rice?
With all the preparations for silver, grain and grass, the Beijing camp was able to move out so quickly.

But February passed slowly, and there were not many voices in the northwest. After people's hearts gradually stabilized, the money in the emperor's hand attracted attention.

The current situation of the Ming Dynasty was like this. The people were poor, disasters occurred every year, and the treasury and silver were always insufficient. Now that the emperor has money, he naturally wants to apply for some.

Zhang Fuhua had previously reported that there were disaster victims in Jiangxi and Sichuan. He was sent by the emperor to Nanzhili to borrow grain.

Ding Zuping, the governor of Yingtian in Nanzhili, also came to visit and said that he had no food to borrow, which means that the emperor should miss a little bit.

Moreover, the impact of the war has gradually emerged, and the price of food in the capital has risen slowly but obviously, and it is not known how it will be in other places.

How can Zhu Houzhao be happy in such a situation?
Once the emperor was upset, a group of important officials were summoned to the Qianqing Palace without even thinking about going back to the court to rest.

The reason for his displeasure is not that he has to spend money again, but that he has a feeling that the people below don’t work and don’t want to use their brains. To solve his problems for him?Which leader would be happy when this happens?
So he has a feeling that he is exhausted every day, but the people below are still dragging his feet.

There were no three divisions in Nanzhili, but only two governors, Governor Yingtian and Governor Fengyang. Governor Yingtian was stationed in Nanjing (after Wanli was permanently stationed in Suzhou), and Governor Fengyang was stationed in Huai'an.Not to mention the governor of Fengyang, the governor of Yingtian is in charge of the most affluent and heavily taxed area in the country.

Like Suzhou Mansion and Songjiang Mansion, the Ming Dynasty had always had heavy taxes.

Now Governor Yingtian said in a memorial that there is no food to borrow, what the hell are you fools for thinking of me as the emperor?

So as soon as he arrived at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Houzhao asked directly: "Who is this Yingtian Governor Ding Zuping?"

Wang Ji, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, replied, "Ding Zuping was a second-class Jinshi in the Ji Chou Division in the fifth year of Chenghua. .”

Governor Yingtian is a member of the second rank.

It sounds like a good resume, but Zhu Houzhao doesn't look at the surface to see the results. No matter how awesome you are, you don't want to solve the emperor's problem. What use are you?

"How old are you?"

How old are you...

Wang Jia didn't remember it for a while.

It was Han Wen who replied, "I have met him once, and I will be [-] or [-] this year."

Zhu Houzhao thought to himself that he was already 68, how much contribution can he be expected to make?Moreover, most people will wait to say a few good words in front of the king for others, but Han Wen didn't say anything, which is actually a bad word.

"Remove his post and let him return to his hometown to retire!" The emperor spoke loudly, "The cabinet will draw up an order immediately."

Liu Jian and the emperor still have a score to settle.At this time, I don't want to say anything more for Ding Zuping.

"According to the order."

This kind of anger made the atmosphere in Qianqing palace very serious.

"Transfer He Jian, the governor of Sichuan Province, to be the governor of Yingtian. I remember that when Wang Shu was appointed as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, He Jian was the first in the evaluation of his political achievements. Nanzhili is a place where the imperial court pays a lot of taxes, and not everyone can go to governor Yingtian."

This is a heavy word.

Xie Qian wanted to explain the atmosphere, so he said: "He Shiguang (He Jianzi) is suitable. He had great ambitions when he was young. Shame on a body of seven feet'."

Zhu Houzhao didn't know these stories, but he still sounded like a man talking.

Of course, the emperor doesn't care what these people say, what matters is what they do.He Jian did a good job in Sichuan as a political envoy. He opened water canals, promoted education, and patiently attracted people to farm and mulberry. He was considered a conscientious official.

"In addition, the decree reprimanded Zhang Fuhua. Jiangxi was hit by a disaster. I ordered him to go to Nanzhili to borrow food. Let’s open the mouth, don’t say too much, it’s always possible to borrow [-] to [-] shi for emergency relief, right? In the end, he didn’t borrow a single grain. What does this mean? Or he didn’t think seriously about it. The only way is to ask me; or he has a problem with his ability and has no ability to do things at all! No matter which one it is, I will find him trouble!"

Zhu Houzhao had seen too many in his previous life.For subordinates, even if you can't complete the tasks assigned by the leader, you have to make some moves, even if it's just pretending, you have to pretend that you have worked hard.

For Zhang Fuhua's case, he should at least borrow some, and then report to the higher authorities that this matter is difficult: 1, 2, and 3 o'clock, I really can't borrow money, please forgive me.

This is called a thing.

There is not even a grain of food, so let's say that the emperor allocates money.What is it called?This is like the kind of old fritters in later generations where the leader opens his mouth and says 'I don't know how' as soon as he arranges a little work.

Then why do I keep you?

"Why don't you talk? Do you think I'm a little too strong?" Zhu Houzhao sneered, "Don't think that I don't know that if Jiuqing from Beijing goes down, even if he bribes him, he can buy Wanshi's grain! Borrowing to the court for disaster relief, but not even a single one! I have said long ago that even if I think about the officials of the court for five minutes, I will use them. But there are some officials who think about themselves so much that they don’t even share half of the worries of the court. , what use do I keep?!"

The emperor pointed to Fengxi next to him, "Just write down what I said intact and ask Zhang Fuhua to read it! I don't believe it anymore, I can't borrow any food for Zuodu Censor's face! Strict decree , told him to complete it! What kind of work in the court is not difficult? If you say that you can’t do it at every turn, isn’t Zhen’s imperial decree like a child’s play?”

The emperor was so angry that the important ministers didn't dare to speak.But Zhang Fuhua, the old man probably won't be able to sleep again.

"Let's all go down." Seeing that they were bothered by this, the emperor let them go first.

But after staying in the Qianqing Palace for a while, he still made a decree, "Xuanmao language enters the palace."
