Chapter 640: Inside and Outside the Palace

Chapter 640: Inside and Outside the Palace
On the same day, Zhu Youmu, the king of Ru, who had sealed off the vassal in Weihui Mansion, rushed over to meet with him. Emperor Jiajing received a pilgrimage in the palace and gave him a banquet.

In terms of seniority, Zhu Youhou was the uncle of Emperor Jiajing and one of the closest relatives.

In folklore stories, King Ru once competed with Emperor Jiajing for the throne, and many golden ax-style jokes evolved.

The imperial court was undecided between Ru Wang Zhu Youyu and Xing Wang Zhu Houcong, so they agreed that the one who came to the capital first would be the emperor
A group of prime ministers and ministers, including Qin Dewei, served as background boards, participated in the court ceremony, and were treated to have boxed lunch together in the palace.

King Ru is very respectful and can speak, which made Jiajing Emperor Long Yan very happy, and he has a very good impression of this uncle Wang.

After all, Emperor Jiajing is a person who needs to be recognized. As King Ru is a close clan, such humility and flattery are very meaningful to Emperor Jiajing.

Seeing that the emperor was made happy, King Ru took the opportunity to complain: "The payment of annual salary is often insufficient, and even two years in arrears, and only [-]% of the money is paid. I beg the emperor to make the decision."

Emperor Jiajing looked at Yi Zan, governor of Henan, calmly. According to the Ming system, the vassal kings and clans enfeoffed in various places were all paid by local officials.

The head of these vassal kings and clan Lumi in Henan is, of course, the governor of Henan.

But there is another subtlety here. The distribution of clan salaries has never been included in the assessment of the performance of local officials.
Therefore, the local officials' attitude towards the clan's salary depends on their mood.

If you are in a good mood, you can get [-]-[-]% of the payment, but it will only be delayed for two or three years.

This is not the case in one place, but the whole world. Using this method in disguise to reduce fiscal expenditures is a self-adjustment of the administrative system of the Ming Dynasty.

At the same time, the local officials were reluctant to increase taxes for the sake of the clan, which ruined their reputation for no reason. Anyway, the imperial court did not assess this, so they could only suffer from the clan.

Yi Zan, the governor of Henan Province, did not expect that Prince Ru, who was so ignorant, would actually bring up the unspoken rules on the surface.

Withholding the vassal's salary is an unspoken rule that prevails throughout the country. If it is paid out in full and honestly, the local finances will not be enough!
The point is that he doesn't know what Emperor Jiajing is thinking now, so he is not sure how he should answer.

Your king is still begging, "There is no other livelihood, and the day is difficult, and the whole family is wailing, and it is a shame"

It was really annoying to listen to, and seriously affected the appetite of a young man with a big appetite. Qin Dewei stood up impatiently, and played to Emperor Jiajing:
"The salaries of the clan and vassals are distributed, and the locality has its own laws and regulations, and those who pay for it have their own responsibilities. Why does Your Majesty have to do everything personally? Why does your king bother the Sacred Heart with small things?"

King Ru looked at this extremely young and stern minister, and explained weakly: "Ah, I'm talking homely with my uncle and nephew, and you, a foreign minister, dare to interrupt without authorization."

In front of powerful ministers, the vassals of the Ming Dynasty really had no confidence, capitalized miserably, and could be called the most statusless prince in history.

Qin Dewei then added another sentence in an inconsequential way: "I am lucky to see you today, and I also thought that there will be King Zhou in the future. I heard that the royal family of Zhou King asks for about 300,000 yuan a year in silver, but in fact the government only gives [-] yuan. what."

Emperor Jiajing: "."

Originally, he wanted to reprimand the extremely rude Qin Dewei, but he decisively shut up after hearing this, the emperor can't conjure money out of thin air.

Kaifeng's royal clan of Zhou Dynasty is the most fertile among all clan clans. There are as many as thousands of relatives in the entire Zhou clan, which is the highest number in the world.

If King Ru made an opening, what will happen when King Zhou comes to court?Is it possible to joke about spending more than [-] taels a year?

Even if they are brothers, they have to settle accounts clearly.

Therefore, Emperor Jiajing could only have a good laugh and give King Ru a few gold coins. As for the matter of asking for salary, he pretended to be confused as far as he was concerned.

Yi Zan, governor of Henan Province, is very grateful to Bachelor Qin, otherwise, God's power is unpredictable, and it is really difficult for him to answer today, and only people like Bachelor Qin dare to speak casually.

Qin Dewei took the opportunity to remonstrate again: "The clan is multiplying day by day, and the distant clan clan can make a living by themselves, which can be regarded as being used by the country, which is better than wasting money and food for nothing."

This involves a change in national policy, and no emperor can easily make a decision. Qin Dewei just wants to deepen his impression.

In fact, the clan policy did not loosen until the Wanli Dynasty, and there is no need to worry too much in the early Jiajing Dynasty.

At present, through the collective efforts of civil servants to default and deduct, the actual expenditure of the clan's salary accounts for more than [-]% of the national financial expenditure, which can still be supported.

When Emperor Jiajing heard Qin Dewei's words, he asked casually: "How can the clan make a living?"

Qin Dewei also answered casually: "You can open a bank, this is most suitable for clansmen everywhere."

Due to the exhaustion of the journey, the imperial banquet ended early, and the monarchs and ministers went to rest.

Qin Dewei walked very slowly when the venue was over, and even fell behind a group of elderly people.

While walking, I looked around cautiously, trying to remember the passages and houses along the road.

If the butterfly effect has not changed history, and the palace is really on fire tonight, maybe this memory will come in handy.

But it is a pity that Qin Dewei can only move between the front hall of the palace and the gate of the palace, and the back hall of the palace is a place he cannot set foot in at all, and there are only eunuchs and maids in it.

However, the risk factor for saving people in a fire scene is too great. Even if the traverser is thrown into the fire, he will be burned to death. Qin Dewei can't figure out what to do.

Forget it, let's play it by ear, with Qin Dewei's status, it seems that he can't afford to risk his life for wealth.

Walking outside the gate of the palace, he saw Chen Yin, the governor in charge of Jinyi Guards, sternly reprimanding Xu Miaojing, and some Jinyi guards stood nearby and watched.

When the ministers who left the palace saw this scene, no one cared about it, and no one bothered to interfere. They continued to walk away, and there was a clear distinction between civil servants and Jinyi guards.

Only Qin Dewei stopped, and moved over curiously.When it was approaching, I heard Chen Yin shouting: "Xu Miaojing, you disturbed the ranks today! Remember it again!"

From the corner of Xu Miaojing's eyes, she saw someone approaching, and after seeing clearly, she hurriedly said, "Sister, Bachelor Qin!"

Chen Yin and Dudu Chen were a little vigilant and apprehensive, but his face would never be soft, he just sneered and said, "Could it be that Bachelor Qin still cares about getting Jinyiwei?"

Qin Dewei replied repeatedly: "Don't dare."

Then he asked Xu Miaojing: "I just don't quite understand, there are so many people present, how come no one interceded for you? Are you too bad?"

Xu Miaojing felt extremely wronged, brother-in-law, what do you call that?What does this have to do with popularity?
Who is willing to offend someone who is very likely to be in charge of Jinyi guards for an ordinary Jinyi guard like himself?

Besides, he has only worked in Jinyiwei for more than four years, so he has such a deep interpersonal relationship.

Qin Dewei asked again: "Don't you have a good big brother named Lu Bing? I heard that this good big brother is the leader of your young official school, and he is also righteous and generous on weekdays, and he is deeply supported by the young official school in Jinyiwei!"

Qin Dewei's words were not just nonsense, and Lu Bing, as the emperor's baby brother, had always had great ambitions.

Normally, Lu Bing did his best to win over the younger generation of the Jinyiwei Academy, preparing to become his team in the future, and Xu Miaojing was also a key target.

Now that the little brother has encountered injustice, if the good big brother doesn't stand up now, when will he wait?
Qin Dewei's innate aura of being the protagonist, who seemed like no one else around, made Dudu Chen unhappy again, "I am admonishing my subordinates, Bachelor Qin, please stay away!"

Qin Dewei still said indifferently: "Then you continue!"

Then Qin Dewei turned around and walked to the other Jinyi guards, found Commander Lu Binglu in the crowd, and asked:

"I heard that Xu Miaojing and Mr. Lu have great friendship and are often on duty at the Meridian Gate. Why don't you see Mr. Lu intercede at this moment?"

Lu Bing: "."

It was Chen Yin who taught Xu Miaojing a lesson over there, why did you Qin Dewei come here to find me?

Originally, everyone was looking at Chen Dudu and Xu Miaojing, but after Qin Dewei said this, they all looked at Lu Bing again.

Lu Bing could only defend himself by saying: "This is the Shangguan's admonition to his subordinates, we don't want to interrupt indiscriminately."

Qin Dewei sarcastically said: "I originally thought that Mr. Lu was a person who was eager for justice for his friends and bravely stood up in the face of injustice, but it seems that I was thinking too much.

If there are people like Xu Miaojing who encounter injustice in the future, they probably won't be able to count on Mr. Lu.People have steelyards, Mr. Lu, please do it yourself. "

Originally, in order to fight against the older generation, Lu Bing worked hard for several years, and he had a high prestige among the young people in Jinyiwei.

But after Qin Dewei said these few words, the other younger Jinyiwei officers around said nothing, but they couldn't help but questioned Lu Bing in their hearts.

In fact, Jinyiwei official school who can be selected to be the "imperial bodyguard" is not stupid.

As Lu Bing, would he be afraid of Chen Yin and Dudu Chen?Will you care about the superior-subordinate relationship with Chen Yin?
So Lu Bing must have deliberately watched Chen Yin "humiliate" Xu Miaojing. I don't know how deep the water is, but the banner of "righteousness" cannot stand up.

But everyone still couldn't understand, what did you, Qin Dewei, grab Lu Bing and say?Dudu Chen is so ignorant, isn't it worth you, Qin Dewei, to take a second look?
Thinking of this, Chen Yin also felt inexplicably humiliated, and unconsciously stopped reprimanding Xu Miaojing.

A Jinyi guard who had a good relationship with Lu Bing shouted: "Could it be that Bachelor Qin is also bullying the weak and afraid of the hard, and dare not argue with Dudu Chen?"

Qin Dewei squinted at Chen Yin, and said contemptuously: "This is a dying rat, what is there to say?"

Qin Dewei's main reason is that he has confidence in the eunuch Qin, an old Yinbi. After returning to the capital, if this Chen Yin can live for three months, Qin Dewei will have the same surname as the eunuch Qin!

When it comes to ironic temperament, Qin Dewei is indeed an expert.Chen Yin was furious in an instant, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to pull out the waist knife.

Xu Miaojing rushed forward, pressed Chen Dudu's hand, and shouted: "No way! No way!"

Then he turned his head and shouted: "Scholar Qin, hurry up! I'm fine here!"

Qin Dewei quickly walked a dozen steps away, and then stood at a safe distance and waved to Xu Miaojing, "Follow me! I'll teach you how to deal with Dudu Chen!"

 I am still revising, I will send out the transition chapter first, and there will be a few thousand words to update in the evening
