Emperor Wu of the Ming Dynasty: Suppress the mythical martial arts at the beginning!

Chapter 127: The old man shaves his head and makes money as a minister!

So, everyone dispersed.

When Zhang Juzheng and the Minister of Revenue were crazily promoting the one-whip method, a large number of impeachment memorials also appeared on Zhu Yijun's desk.

Royal study.

As usual, Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon throne, preparing to review the memorial.

"Is this the new tea?"

Seeing there was new tea on the table, Zhu Yijun asked directly to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch immediately replied: "Your Majesty, this slave is responsible for making tea, so I have specially found a few masters to teach my slave how to make tea. I hope the Emperor likes it."

After saying that, he handed over a cup of tea.

Zhu Yijun reached out to take the tea cup and took a sip.

"Yeah! It's delicious!"

Zhu Yijun praised: "I like it! These masters are really amazing!"

Not only does it taste great.Moreover, the tea temperature is just right.

"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty!"

The eunuch quickly bowed and saluted, with a flattering smile on his face.

Zhu Yijun nodded and put down the tea cup.

Then, he opened the memorial in his hand.

After just watching for a while, Zhu Yijun frowned slightly.

Because these memorials all impeach one whip!

Although some officials of the cabinet are impeached on the surface, behind the scenes, there is still a whipping law.

After a while, Zhu Yijun smiled, shook his head and sneered.

"There are so many memorials. Does this hurt them?"

"It's just a dog jumping over the wall."

"The more this happens, the more it proves that what I did was right!"

Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun's eyes flashed with determination.

……

The next day.

The sky is bright.

All the officials went to the main hall one after another to prepare to go to court.

When they entered the main hall, they found that the atmosphere was a little strange.

Especially after seeing the expressions of some civil servants.

Everyone couldn't help but frown.

I saw only the center of the hall.

Zhang Juzheng stood there with a smile on his face and seemed to be in a very comfortable mood.

As for the other civil servants, they were filled with sorrow, and some even sighed.

Seeing this situation, some people couldn't help but ask: "My lords, can something happen today?"

"No!"

"It's weird!"

"."

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the entire court.

"The Emperor is here!"

At this time, the eunuch's voice came.

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Yijun, wearing a dragon robe, slowly walked into the hall.

see this scene.

Everyone's heart skipped a beat.

Then, he quickly knelt down to greet the driver.

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

"Be flat!"

Zhu Yijun said.

"Thank you!"

After everyone was level, Zhu Yijun walked directly towards the dragon throne.

As soon as he sat down, he glanced around and asked, "My dear friends, do you have anything to say today?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Duanming, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, stood up quickly: "Your Majesty, I have this memorial!"

"I want to impeach Zhang Juzheng and Fang Blun!"

"These two people are violently promoting a whipping method, which is extremely abominable!"

"It has caused great trouble to people's livelihood!"

As soon as this statement came out, many adults stood up.

Then, they all started talking.

"Your Majesty, I also want to impeach Mr. Zhang Juzheng!"

"Your Majesty, even a minor official has his own memorial!"

"."

Suddenly, the court hall was filled with noise, as lively as a vegetable market.But at this time, Zhang Juzheng on the side could not sit still.

He quickly stood up and said to these adults: "Promoting the whip method is a good thing that benefits the country and the people!"

"What do you have to impeach?"

"It's a good thing!"

"It doesn't matter if you don't support it, but you still want to impeach me?"

As he spoke, Zhang Juzheng's eyes suddenly widened with anger.

"you!"

The impeachers suddenly became silent.

After a pause, Sheng Duanming snorted coldly and said: "The violent implementation of the whip law has troubled the people, and everyone in the merchants is in danger!"

"So much so that many projects in our Ministry of Industry have been put on hold!"

"So, you still think it's a good thing?!"

Zhang Juzheng smiled lightly: "Of course it's a good thing. A whip law is a brand new tax system."

“If you want to promote it, you must cut through the mess quickly!”

"Otherwise, why don't we wait for you to transfer all the money slowly and balance the account?"

"Besides, a whipping method does bring a lot of benefits."

"The One Whip Law uses land as the standard and determines each person's level of taxes and servitude through the method of collecting money per mu, and then collects taxes and servitude, thereby defining and limiting the tax burden of taxpayers in the form of law!"

“This inhibits land annexation to a certain extent!”

"Moreover, the implementation of the One-whip Law can change the serious tax imbalance, balance the tax burdens of all social strata, and improve the living conditions of farmers."

"You just said that the people are complaining about this, so do you dare to accompany me to go and ask the people now?"

As soon as these words came out, those impeachers fell silent.

Because what Zhang Juzheng said is right.

Following the actual operation of the whip method can indeed avoid more disadvantages!

However, these people always feel a little unhappy.

After all, once the whipping method becomes popular, people like them will be out of luck!
After Zhu Yijun heard Zhang Juzheng's words, he nodded with satisfaction.

However, he said nothing.

"My dear friends, is there anything else?"

A few seconds later, Zhu Yijun looked at the officials and asked.

The officials mostly lowered their heads and said nothing.

"In that case, then retreat from the court!"

After a pause, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said.

"Retreat!"

With a shout from the eunuch.

The officials in the court immediately left one after another.

After retreating from the court, Zhu Yijun ordered someone to call Zhang Juzheng and Fang Dui to the imperial study alone.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Get up!"

After Zhang Juzheng and the two stood up, Zhu Yijun waved his hand.

Then, he got straight to the point: "Just now in front of the main hall, I never spoke. Can you blame me?"

Upon hearing this, the two men immediately bowed and responded.

"I dare not!"

"I don't blame your Majesty!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun nodded slightly and continued: "There is a reason why I didn't speak just now."

"It is inevitable that the implementation of the one-whip law will cause dissatisfaction among some officials. As the person in charge of the one-whip law, you need to withstand such pressure."

"In addition, I know that although a whip law is conducive to the stability of the country, it also affects the interests of many people."

"So, I have to work hard for you."

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun stood up and walked down the steps.

After a pause, he continued: "I know that there are people outside calling you Shatou Ge Lao and amassing wealth as a minister!"

"This name doesn't sound good."

"But what you did was a righteous thing. The sin is in the moment, but the merit will be in the future!"

After speaking, Zhu Yijun knocked on the table with a serious expression.

heard,

Zhang Juzheng and Fang Dui were both very moved.

This is the emperor praising them and recognizing the fruits of their labor.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!"

Zhang Juzheng and Fang Pu paid homage together.

"Ha ha."

Zhu Yijun smiled, and then said: "Don't worry, as long as you are truly loyal to the emperor and the country, I will never treat you badly."

"I will reward him and let him enjoy happiness."
