Ten Dragons Take the Inheritance

Chapter 503 Auction Storm

On July 24th of the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the asset auction of the Eight Banners firm, which lasted for ten days, ended successfully. A total of more than 2000 properties were sold, except for dozens of properties that had been assigned to the Liu family represented by Liu Chang'e in advance. In addition, a total of 8000 million yuan has been recovered, which is equivalent to more than one-third of the annual revenue of the imperial court. So far, except for the Shanghai Shipyard and the Tianjin Gun Bureau, which are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Industry, huge The domestic part of the Eight Banners firm has been completely dismantled.

On July 25, the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the inner court issued a decree: the establishment of the Qing Academy of Sciences, under the Ministry of Industry, supervised by the Prime Minister Yunxiang, and Lin Qi, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was appointed as the first president of the Qing Academy of Sciences, and Qin Tian was abolished. Supervision, the original Qin Tianjian institutions and personnel were merged into the Daqing Academy of Sciences, and 5000 million yuan was allocated from the internal treasury as start-up funds. In addition, the annual research budget was allocated from the imperial treasury, no less than that of the year [-]% of the annual revenue of the imperial court; researchers at all levels affiliated to the Academy of Sciences are all awarded the title of technical officials. Owned by the Academy of Sciences.

On July [-]th of the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the "Jingshi Chronicle" published the full text of Emperor Yuanzhuo's oracle - "On the Importance of Science and Technology". It has always talked about the role of science and technology in advancing the military, clarified the importance of science and technology, and refuted the raging "theory of strange and ingenious techniques". The arguments in the article are sufficient and the logic is strict. Manuscripts flocked to the editorial department of the "Jingshi Chronicle" like a snowflake, and the debate about "emphasis on commerce and agriculture" that had been hotly debated disappeared immediately, and everyone's attention was focused on the debate on "Is technology a magic trick?" attract.

On the third day of August in the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, the inner court sent out a decree: Sheng Gong Chuan, the next morning morning court.Upon hearing that Emperor Yuanzhuo, who hadn't been in court for more than half a month, was about to serve as a council member, the officials, big and small, immediately cheered up. There are also those who plan to say goodbye to the sacred intentions in series. The officialdom in the capital is full of smog and panic, and it looks like a storm is about to come and smoke fills the building.

On the fourth day of August in the eighth year of Yuanzhuo, as the first ray of sunlight hit the top of the Forbidden City, the shouts of the eunuchs "Going to court" mixed with the crackling of static whips came out of the palace, and the courtiers stepped on their feet. Taking small steps, he hurried towards the Qianqing Palace. Apart from the sound of footsteps, there was no trace of noise along the way. Everyone had solemn expressions on their faces. I am afraid that something big will happen, how to stand in line is a big thing related to one's own future.

"The emperor is here!" Following Gao Nianying's sharp eunuch's voice, Yin Zuo walked into the hall with a confident smile on his face. He got up and took his seat, raised his hand with a smile on his face and said: "You are all flat."

"Report to the Holy Majesty, I have a book to play." All the ministers had just thanked En and got up when Zhao Xiongzhao, the censor of Jiangnan Dao, appeared, knelt down in front of the hall, and said loudly: "The sage said: The emperor should be close to the gentleman, and the gentleman should be far away. Small man, today's ears are accustomed to what they hear, and they like flattery and dislike straightness; their eyes are accustomed to what they see, they like softness and hate rigidity; Disadvantages, liking the villain and loathing the gentleman. The villain advances to the monarch, and there is no one else. Use talent instead of virtue, so it is also. Virtue is unique to the gentleman, but talent is shared by the gentleman and villain, and the villain wins... This is where the chaos of the former Ming Dynasty came from. That’s why there was Jinyiwei before, and East and West factories later. It’s all because of villains and then gentlemen retreated. Don’t be careless. Today there is a "Honghu" who has made great contributions to the king but has great disadvantages to the community. As a speech officer, I dare not risk my life to hear it, and I hope the Holy One will see it clearly."

Tsk tsk, good guy, this big hat of "rebellion in the former Ming Dynasty" is so strict, hehe, as expected of the second place in the list, this memorial is well written, three practices and one disadvantage?It's interesting, it seems that this kid Hongli has put in a lot of hard work, intending to curry favor with the rich and powerful, and with the aid of marriage, he is now playing with Lao Tzu the same trick that the old eight played, grandma, really I treat it like an old man.As soon as Yinzuo saw Zhao Xiongzhao, a general under his family, jumped out, he immediately understood Hongli's little abacus, and glanced at Hongli, who was standing at the front of the princely queue with his head down, but he didn't express his position immediately, he just smiled and said goodbye. Sitting on the dragon chair.

"Your Majesty, I think Master Zhao's words are very true. The embankment of a thousand miles was destroyed by an ant nest. Your Majesty must investigate." Zhang Jingdi Jia, the military commander, also stood up and echoed loudly.

"Your Majesty, the ministers think what Mr. Zhao said is very true, and hope that His Majesty will see clearly."

"Your Majesty, ministers and others seconded the proposal."

……

As soon as Zhai Jia's voice fell, a large group of courtiers stood up, and they all knelt down on the ground, echoing in a hurry, and Yinzuo's heart was furious, but his face did not change. He just sat there with a smile on his face, without making a sound, and let the gang of courtiers kneel down to fill the hall.

"Your Majesty, I think Master Zhao's words are a bit exaggerated, but his meaning is true. I hope the Holy Master will learn from you." At this moment of silence, old Prince Zong Zhengjian of the clan's mansion stood up and said loudly.Old Prince Jian's words were like a voice signal, and a group of princes and dignitaries immediately stood up, and everyone kept saying that they wanted to learn from the Holy Lord. As a result, most of the ministers who are qualified to participate in the court meeting expressed their opinions, which is very embarrassing. Forcing Yinzuo to abolish the posture of "Honghu".

Depend on!Are you playing masturbation?Grandma's, a bunch of idiots who don't know how to live or die!Even clay figurines are flaming, not to mention Yinzuo was originally a powerful emperor, how could he tolerate the persecution of the officials below him, his face darkened immediately, he glanced at the courtiers who were kneeling on the ground, and groaned coldly He said in a loud voice: "In this way, I am the stupid kings of the previous Ming Dynasty. Why don't you say that I am the emperor of Jie and Zhou? Huh?" Yin Zuo's words were very cold, and the ministers immediately frightened He had to fall to his knees, and everyone was silent like a cicada, not even daring to say a word, after all, it was well known that Yin Zuo was ruthless.

"Huang Ama calm down." Hongli came out and said: "Huang Ama, you always teach your ministers to 'change it if there is something, and encourage you if there is nothing.' The minister thinks that all the ministers are for the eternity of our Daqing society." Continue to think about it, without any selfish distractions, I ask the emperor Ama to be aware of these words of loyalty."

Mingcha?Hehe, what a discerning person, but I just want us to lose our eyes and ears, so as to cover up your kid's private activities.Yinzuo was laughed out of anger when he stepped on, and looked at Hongli with a complicated expression, his heart was full of sorrow and grief, how could Yinzuo's political experience not tell that Hongli was taking risks, and completely went to the old eight However, the person who forced Hongli to take this path was Yinzuo himself, which made Yinzuo angry and sad.

"Fourth brother, in your opinion, how should I deal with this matter?" Yinzuo ignored Hongli, but smiled and turned to Yunzhen who had never said a word.

"The Holy Majesty is a wise king, and I dare not speak nonsense." Yun Zhen replied expressionlessly.

On the surface, Yun Zhen's words sounded like praising Yin Zuo's sage, no matter how Yin Zuo decides, he has no objection, but the deeper meaning is that if you don't accept advice, then you are not a wise king. The meaning is: If you don't abolish "Honghu", then you Yinzuo are just a faint king.How can this little trick be hidden from Yinzuo's eyes, but Yinzuo didn't bother to point it out, smiled and said: "The fourth brother is modest, no matter, since all the ministers think that this'Honghu' should be dismissed, then withdraw it." It's finished, but how to undo it has to be said, I don't know what you have to teach, I'm listening."

"Honghu" is Yinzuo's eyes and one of the most powerful tools to control the government and the public. Although the people who knelt down on the ground made up their minds to get rid of the signs of "Honghu", no one thought that Yinzuo would be like this He readily agreed to withdraw, but he didn't react for a while, and no one dared to speak up, and they all knelt on the ground in a daze; at the same time, although the Minister of Military Aircraft was dissatisfied with the existence of the "Honghu" spy agency, They have followed Yin Zuo for a long time, and they are already familiar with Yin Zuo's nature. They all know in their hearts that Yin Zuo is not so easy to talk about. He kept his mouth shut, and the hall fell silent for a while.

"What? I don't have anything to say? That's good, then it's up to me to talk." Yinzuo glanced at the officials, sneered, and waved his hands: "Gao Nianying, Xuan!"

Gao Nianying hurriedly bowed to promise, waved the whisk in his hand, took a copy of the imperial decree from a young eunuch beside him, unfolded it carefully, and proclaimed loudly: "Fengtian Chengyun Emperor said: 'Honghu' has its origins The merits of the dragon, and the work of defending against the enemy from outside, have won my high hopes... However, due to the limitations of the system, such a great contribution has been buried in the grass. I deeply regret this, so the edict is as follows: abolish the original The "Honghu" mechanism was merged into the imperial court mechanism: the National Security Bureau was established, which was subordinate to the Military Aircraft Department. Its duties were to collect and sort out foreign intelligence, and it was responsible for all overseas secret operations of the Qing Dynasty. He Zhen was appointed as the first director; the Domestic Investigation Bureau was established. , subordinate to the Control Yuan, its responsibilities are the same as those of the Control Yuan, and under the control of the Control Yuan, it is responsible for supervising the conduct of all officials. It has the right to investigate but not the right to act. Sun Chengfu is appointed as the first director of the Bureau. I respect you!"

On the surface, Yinzuo's edict merged "Honghu" into the imperial court mechanism, but in the eyes of the ministers, he just changed his official robes, and the other things did not change. Everything is still in Yinzuo's hands, or even Because these two institutions are dressed in official robes, they are more like the "Jinyiwei" of the previous Ming Dynasty. Of course, the difference is that the "International Bureau of Investigation" does not have the right to directly take action against officials. Isn't the right to act justified?The big guy is not a fool, how can he not see the strangeness in it, but it is not easy to decide whether he should stand up against it, and all the officials are stunned on the spot...
