Wanli 1592

Chapter 441 Damn Thing!

Since the failure of the coup, Zhu Yijun has been living in depression. For countless days and nights since then, he has been reflecting on his mistakes, reflecting on where he went wrong, what he did not do well enough, and what he did not do well. Let people find out, and even how to use people.

Since ancient times, the methods used by emperors in the deep palace to deal with their officials are nothing more than spies and eunuchs. The powerful emperor immediately has prestige in the army and among the people. With power in hand, no one dares to refute.

After the death of a powerful emperor, most of the new successor emperors grew up in deep palaces and never left the Forbidden City. Rather than being the ruler of the world, it is better to say that they are a rare and rare animal supported by the world.

The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty devoted themselves to treating the emperor as a rare and exotic animal in captivity, and put it in the palace for people to watch, and let them do things that govern the country and toss the country. The emperor issued an imperial edict to commit crimes. For this reason, the emperor did not suffer less. Many honest emperors only became active in spy politics after being fooled by the officials.

If you want to say that Zhu Yijun is wrong, then he is really wrong.

As the emperor and his ministers, he did not use power tactics to regain power, nor did he follow his grandfather Jiajing's battle of wits and courage with his ministers. After decades of playing monkeys, he played a battle of qi.

He was angry with the officials and did not go to the court, and did not make up for the lack of officials. He felt that he was punishing the officials, and actually ruined the Ming Dynasty.

But if you want to say that Zhu Yijun is all wrong, that is even more untenable——

Dear emperors, you have seen that when nothing happened, you ignored the emperor's Zhongzhi, and when something happened, you took the emperor out to take the blame, emptied the treasury yourself, and asked the emperor for private money when the country needed money. Is the small treasury here to play tricks?
This is really not up to him to decide the situation, and he still pays for it when things come to an end. The wronged people since ancient times are really not as wronged as the Ming Dynasty emperors Chenghua, Zhengde, Jiajing, Wanli, and Chongzhen.

When the Ming Dynasty was still there, literati and inkmen used all kinds of miscellaneous essays to slander and vilify, because these emperors with brains and civil servants vying for power and profit used eunuchs and Jin Yiwei to deal with the officials, and did not honestly learn from Emperor Hongzhi and Emperor Longqing. The civil servants were not happy, and the landlords and gentry were not happy either.

When the Ming Dynasty was gone and the Qing Dynasty was established, out of political considerations, they continued to blacken the Ming Dynasty, but this is really not what the Qing Dynasty did. Didn’t the Jin people also blackmail Cao Mengde?Didn't Li Shimin also blackmail Yang Jian, Yang Guang, and Li Jiancheng?
This is all politics, just take a look at it. Seeing these ugly faces, you can probably understand how much the people who did this hate those predecessors.

But Xiang Daming was hacked when he was alive, and he was still hacked when he died. After hundreds of years of death, the Qing Dynasty is dead, and he is still being hacked to death. There are really very few, almost none.

Jin, which made a lot of chaos, was hardly blacked out, and Song, which was ravaged by Jin first and then Mongolia, was also blacked out by no one, but Ming, who re-opened the Great Song Dynasty, was blackened so badly...

If Zhu Yijun knew, he didn't know how he would feel.

Anyway, he has already experienced a little bit of pain now, and he probably already knows how he will be slandered and criticized after his death.

Just like his Grandpa Jiajing, he was obviously a powerful emperor with super high IQ and powerful skills, but in the end he was hacked into a monastic emperor who ignored the government, saying that he had not been in court for decades and made the government messy, and used traitors to make trouble. The people are in dire straits.

Of course, these things did happen objectively. Anyone who knew a little about the rules of the Ming Dynasty's political game would know that the emperor had no way of intervening in the overall situation of the government.

The emperor's order needs to be approved by the cabinet and the six ministries to be considered an orthodox order and can be accepted by the officials. The emperor's own meaning is called "Zhongzhi", which has extremely low gold content.

Now that Zhu Yijun is issuing a decree, it is estimated that the cabinet and the six ministries will be regarded as a fart, and they will be thrown aside without even hearing about it. You, a dandy emperor who inherited the family business, know what important national affairs do you know?
Don't worry about it, hurry back to your harem and have a baby!

When is Zhu Yijun's words most useful?

When the imperial court asked the emperor to distribute internal money to do something, Zhu Yijun said "Yes" and promised to get a lot of shouts, long live, and the execution efficiency will be faster than anything else. It was taken.

Then the emperor continued to be empty and lonely and cold.

That is to say, the current chief assistant, Zhao Zhigao, is older and has more contact with Wang Xijue. Compared with other people, he respects the emperor more, is considerate of the emperor, and behaves more gently. All the gunfire.

Zhu Yijun was suffering, bored, wandering alone in the imperial garden, looking at the branches and leaves of the trees that withered earlier than in previous years, feeling even more lonely.

"Your Majesty, the cabinet has handed over a copy, saying that His Majesty must be requested to give instructions as soon as possible."

The big eunuch beside him came forward with two young eunuchs and handed over a memorial. Zhu Yijun frowned and wanted to refuse, but he still didn't refuse.

After all, these guys still remember that I am an emperor, so they don't discuss anything with me. After all, I still have a little bit of prestige as an emperor...

Wait, don't you want me to transfer money again?

It wasn't once or twice that Zhu Yijun was given this kind of routine by the officials, he was almost used to it, and this habit made him a little scared.

According to their routine, when encountering such matters that must be decided by the emperor, it is inseparable from silver. The whole article makes sense, and then there are the sufferings of the people, the people are hungry, and the bones of the dead are everywhere. The colorful flowers made people cry, and then changed the topic——

Your Majesty, your country is short of money to spend. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, should your internal funds be...

Hey, you understand, you just admit it!You honestly give the money, and then you can go back to have a baby, and we will take care of your country for you!

darn thing!

The imperial government finances 300 million taels every year, and in the past few years, 260 million taels of silver can be obtained from Japan every year, adding up to a total of 500 million taels of annual revenue!
In the end, this group of bastards also said that because His Majesty withheld a batch of money for internal use, they were unable to make ends meet!You can't make ends meet your sister!

200 million is not enough to make ends meet, and 500 million is still not enough to make ends meet!I will keep three or four million taels to enrich my internal funds so as not to be greedy by you, and you will eat up the remaining four or five million taels of silver?
The money that Xiao Ruxun worked so hard to bring back from Japan, and the money that tens of thousands of soldiers exchanged for their blood on the battlefield, were eaten up by you rats!

Zhu Yijun became more and more dissatisfied with them, to the point where he was about to explode.

"Your Majesty, do you want to read this brochure... or not?"

Wang De looked at Zhu Yijun's face with a strange expression, and he didn't know whether to give or return the note.

During that time, Zhu Yijun's expression changed several times, and at last he sighed deeply, and said, "Bring me the booklet! Let me see, can't I see it?"

Wang De lowered his head and handed the memorial to the emperor tremblingly.
