Traveling through: The down-and-out beauty refuses to be cannon fodder

Chapter 152 The Salt Administration Suddenly Brightened His Sword

As for the first year of Tianshun, when King Tan was ill, Chen Xun joined forces to invite the late emperor to restore him, but he led a group of ministers to enter the memorial, begging for early selection of Yuanliang as the East Palace. At that time, the crown prince was still alive. Who would he choose?
In my humble opinion, if it weren't for Nancheng's contribution to welcome the driver, the late emperor would have no way out!
But the people who welcome the driver are all villains who are greedy for the wealth and honor of the country. Those who are old will be rewarded for their contribution to welcome them!
Severe punishments and severe laws, beheading or exile, so those who kill the latecomers will be punished for the crime of arrogance!
Today's rumors, the country must say, the first emperor was angry with these people and committed crimes, it is absolutely unreasonable and unbelievable!
At the beginning of His Majesty's ascension to the throne, he was guilty of all kinds of evil, and his heart was broken. When he saw that he had returned to the merchants, he still returned to his old post and worked in the cabinet.
The villain, but if he wants to be an official himself, why not worry about causing harm to others and ministers?

It can be said that Gao Yao's actions are not intended to respect the king of Yi, but to be used by the evil spirits!

There must be someone who is in charge of the villain, otherwise the grass will be far away, how dare to speak falsely, and slander the former emperor?
Let future generations observe it and think it is true, but how can those who are discussing it today not observe it?This is forbearance, but still want to bother your majesty? "

Zhu Jianshen sat on the table, his scalp tingling from the shock of Li Chun's impassioned speeches.

He was speechless.

Li Chun, as one of the leaders of the Beiren faction, obviously does not want the Jiangnan faction, which supported King Yi to ascend the throne, to return to the court and be reused. Isn't this infringing on the interests of their Beiren faction?

Zhu Jianshen regretted Li Chun's short-sightedness.

It's because your Beiren faction is not strong enough to defeat the foreign relatives party, so I have no choice but to support the Jiangnan faction!

He also understood the intention of this little-known Gao Yao who had nothing to say about King Tan, wasn't it just to test the emperor's heart, to see how much he supported the Jiangnan faction, and how determined he was to support it?

Alright, I will make my statement clear today, let you have a look!
Zhu Jianshen cleared his throat, and said in a loud voice: "Jingtai made mistakes in the past, I don't mind! Is it right for me to say that? It's obviously a flattery to Xi En, so there's no need to do it!"

That is to say, I don't care about right and wrong during the reign of my uncle Jingtai, why are you ministers arguing so messily?

Expose the past right and wrong, contribute slander, and those who hope to gain favor, go to sleep!
Seeing that the emperor had made a decision, Li Chun didn't say much, and consciously returned to his position.

That Gao Yao wiped the cold sweat off her brow, and returned to her seat in desperation.

Zhu Jianshen breathed a sigh of relief.

His throne is still very unstable, and of course he doesn't want the Jiangnan faction and the Beiren faction to strangle each other.

I thought that the next court meeting would be much easier, but I didn't expect that a bunch of officials came out to report.

Some said: "The lack of food and grass on all sides is due to the abolishment of the salt law and many malpractices. Please also make an order that from now on, the families of internal and external officials are not allowed to occupy the middle of the salt, rob business profits, and lose money!"

Some said: "The system of salt law has existed since ancient times. In my dynasty, Zhang officials set up officials, supervisors and people to fry and implement it, so as to provide for the country's tax, and to store funds on the side. If it doesn't work, I would like to use the pros and cons of the revolution."

Some said: "Your Majesty, please also supervise the officials inside and outside Beijing. If you have family acquaintances, who have been transformed into military and civilian craftsmen, and who rely on Zhongyan, they will be impeached by the Huke and sent to the Ministry by the Secretary of General Administration. The same thing. Lian Yuguan, please arrest and question, if the powerful family members pretend to be soldiers and civilians, they will be imprisoned."

Zhu Jianshen listened vaguely, and then heard people mentioning the rectification proposals in Border Gate, Lianghuai, Salt Transportation and Lifting Department, Salt Departments in various places, Zaodingjian Office, Huaizhe Salt Fields, etc., and finally realized. : "His grandma's, the Jiangnan faction finally started! It turned out to be the salt industry! It's the salt industry!"

He suppressed his excitement and clenched his fists quietly.

Only now did he finally understand that the matter of "adding a temple name to King Tan" mentioned by Gao Yao, the Ministry of Rites, was just a questioning stone, to see if he really had no grievances against the Jiangnan faction.

Zhu Jianshen smiled wryly to himself.

He couldn't help but think of Fang Yuanzhi, the female devil standing on the prison van and playing with a gun.

If it wasn't for her, I might not be able to make up my mind to support the Jiangnan faction's return to court with such a strong effort.

I heard that she played handsome again yesterday at the gate of the Huichang Marquis's Mansion, and beat that arrogant Sun Zan to shame!

Hearing someone coughing, Zhu Jianshen came back to his senses.

His eyes couldn't help but glanced at the direction where Hubu Shangshu Ma Ang was standing.

The Jiangnan faction's first knife cut really well.

After Ma Ang was transferred from Tianshun to be the Minister of the Household Department in the eighth year, he sold salt and silver, used his power for personal gain, enriched his own pockets, and greatly bribed the inner court and the relative party. He is the core figure of Sun Jizong's party.

The Jiangnan faction really "shoots people first, shoots horses, captures thieves first, and captures the king first!"

Since the Taizu, this dynasty has stationed troops at the border and deployed defenses, relying on the "opening salt method" to solve the food and grass.It is to let merchants transport grain to the border, exchange for salt, and go to collect official salt to sell it by themselves, so as to make a profit.

However, since the orthodox period of the first emperor, the salt law has been abolished, and many high-ranking officials have used their power for personal gain to obtain salt, so that those merchants who actually transported grain to the border and wanted to exchange salt for profit could not get the official salt, and even waited ten years. I couldn't get the official salt for the rest of the year.

As a result, there are fewer and fewer merchants who are willing to transport grain in exchange for salt.Frontier soldiers are easy to flee if they have no food to eat and are hungry.

With no one guarding the border, wouldn't the country be at stake?
Li Xian also stated to him the disadvantages, but there are many people in the Beiren faction who have interests here, and the Beiren faction is not very determined to rectify the salt industry.

Zhu Jianshen couldn't help but cast another high glance at the Jiangnan faction.This group of Jiangnan literati did not expect to have a bit of family and country feelings, knowing that "the rise and fall of the country is everyone's responsibility!"

You must know that the salt fields are mainly concentrated in the two Zhejiang provinces, and the Jiangnan faction is the biggest beneficiary of the salt industry.

They are willing to give up such a large piece of interests, they are really loyal to the king and defend the country!
In the Xu family in the capital, the second master Xu Xuan stood on the porch, looking in the direction of the palace, filled with emotion.

The turmoil in the court today marked the official war between the Jiangnan faction and the foreign relatives party.

Mrs. Gu put a coat on Xu Xuan: "Master, it's windy here, be careful if you catch the cold."

Xu Xuan turned her head and looked at Mrs. Gu gently: "When your son comes back, he won't complain that we stopped him from going to Fang's house to propose marriage, right?"

Mrs. Gu sneered and said: "How can anyone support a daughter-in-law who hasn't passed the family? The route is too tortuous, and others may not understand the deep meaning!"

Xu Xuan chuckled, took a long sip from his teacup after entering the room, and said, "It's not just for her. It was originally planned, but seeing that Yuan Zhi was angry at Huichang Hou's mansion, he simply moved ahead of schedule." Outbreak, let their Sun family and Ma Ang Shangshu mess up for a while, so as not to trouble Yuanzhi and Fang's family!"
