Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 619
Regarding Zhu Yunying's arrangement for Feng Cheng and others to go to Fujian, there was no disturbance at all in the court, and there was no need to care about these things.

To put it simply, the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies was originally Wu Xun's private land, and the civil service group had no power to intervene in the Mansion of the Commander-in-Chief of the Five Armies.Especially Feng Cheng, let alone Feng Guoyong's son and Feng Sheng's nephew, just being the younger brother-in-law of Emperor Yingshi, this identity is enough to explain some problems.

What's more, he is the right governor of the right army governor's mansion, second only to the left governor Mu Chun.

In fact, everyone also understands that the two brother-in-laws of Emperor Yingshi firmly control the Governor's Mansion of the Right Army.Mu Chun is in charge of the Yunnan Dusi, Guizhou Dusi, Sichuan Dusi, Shaanxi Dusi, Guangxi Dusi and their guards.

As for Feng Cheng, he led the Jinghu Ben Right Guard, Left Guard Right Guard, Navy Right Guard, Wu Dewei, and Guangwu Guard in Beijing.

As for this trip with Zhu Yunying's second uncle and brother-in-law, it's nothing to worry about.This is Wu Xun's business, maybe he is going to inspect the granary in Fujian on behalf of the emperor and so on.

Many people also know that most of the goods that Daming brought back from Nanyang landed in Fujian and Guangdong.They also knew that apart from some jewelry and spices, Daming also brought back a lot of food from Nanyang and other places.

It is said that many of the military rations in Korea were transported directly by sea.It seems that there are no jewels or spices that are valuable, but even if things like food are piled up in the warehouse, it will make people feel at ease.The Ming Dynasty seems to be full of grain now, but everyone knows that no amount of grain will be a bad thing.

What's more, if you think about it more carefully, the ruler of Ryukyu Zhongshan Kingdom is about to enter Beijing.It is said that it is a pilgrimage to meet, but that is to show dignity. Many people know that the Fujian Navy has actually gone to Ryukyu, and the Ryukyu king has to go to court to plead guilty.

Let Feng Cheng and others go to Fuguang, who knows if there are other thoughts in it.What's more, many people also know that the incident of usurping the country occurred on Annan's side before, and His Majesty was quite annoyed by this.

Many people are also speculating that maybe the Ming Dynasty will use troops against Annan after defeating Koryo.

Although he is worried about His Majesty who is a little bit good at martial arts, the civil servants don't say whether they have the ability to restrain the emperor or martial arts.It's actually no secret that his own emperor likes to raise troops with great righteousness.

When Feng Cheng and others led some troops southward, Yu Xin came to the Hall of Martial Arts, "Your Majesty, the armies who conquered Koryo earlier also sent battle reports, and I will draft the regulations for military merits."

Zhu Yunying interrupted directly, seeming a little unhappy, "Shangshu of the Household Department, Situ Yu, when will the Household Department be in charge of the military?"

Yu Xin knelt down immediately, and quickly argued, "Let's play your Majesty. The Ministry of Households dare not arbitrarily assume power, and the minister dare not overstep. I will discuss with the Ministry of War about rewarding meritorious service. This time, I will present the draft regulations to Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunying was noncommittal and said, "This matter has nothing to do with your household department and the governor's office of the five armies and the director of the Ministry of War."

Yu Xin had no choice but to leave in despair. He is also in distress now, but it is a pity that His Majesty did not give him any chance at all.

The imperial court’s various expenditures were not small, and in addition to the use of troops in Korea, there were a lot of people eating horses, and after the war, there were rewards, pensions, etc., which was another large expenditure. It costs money.

There are indeed many places where the imperial court needs to spend money, especially there are also many places where money will be spent in the future.Yu Xin really didn't come here to try to restrain the imperial power, but just wanted to complain in advance, and just wanted to let His Majesty know.

But even if his idea is good, the one sitting on the dragon chair is not a fuel-efficient lamp.Before Yu Xin even opened his mouth, Zhu Yunying scolded Yu Xin in advance, making it impossible for Yu Xin to say what he said next.

Naturally, Yu Xin could also complain, and he could try to bear the emperor's anger and speak out some things in advance.But Yu Xin didn't dare, really didn't dare, he also lost some of the vigor of his youth.

It is said that Emperor Hongwu is domineering, and it is said that Emperor Hongwu killed civil and military officials without mercy.At present, Emperor Yingshi is not like Emperor Hongwu, but don't think that Emperor Yingshi is a fuel-efficient lamp. His blunt knife cutting flesh makes life and death even more difficult.

Think about Zhuo Jing, his former confidant, who offended the emperor and failed to follow the emperor's instructions when the future was bright. He has suffered a lot in the past two years.

People who don't know think that this is a great official in the frontier and an important minister of the court, but those who know know that Zhuo Jing's official career has almost reached its limit. Opportunity returns to the center.

In the Yingshi dynasty, Zhuo Jing was almost impossible to return to the center, and now he can't be regarded as the emperor's confidant.It's just because he didn't act according to the emperor's wishes back then, it was Zhuo Jing's 'rebellion'.

The emperor can be narrow-minded, and there is no shortage of talented people in the court, let alone officials who can take on some positions at any time.

Who let Yu Xin catch the emperor, the Ministry of Household Affairs should do well with the affairs of the Ministry of Household Affairs, so don't worry about other things.Otherwise, the emperor would not think that Yu Xin was dedicated to his duty, and the emperor could think that Yu Xin was in love with power.

Seeing Yu Xin leave in despair, Zhu Yunying just smiled and didn't say much.

Zhu Yunying can naturally guess what kind of thoughts Yu Xin is in. He knows that Yu Xin must have some worries.

Whether it is the next treatment of the Yellow River, or the possibility of taking action against Annan and Wala, this will require a lot of money.

What's more, everyone knows that despite the fact that Daming seems to be more peaceful in the past few years, it seems that his family has grown a lot.It's just that if some things are really busy, it means that there will be some pressure.

Don't forget that even if Goryeo is defeated, it is basically impossible for Goryeo to be self-sufficient in a short period of time.When that time really comes, it is impossible for the Ming Dynasty to completely let go.Some short-term support is also what it should be.

In the early years, he had been supporting Dongying, and now he is also supporting the two vassal states of Dongri and Fuyue.Many people think that Daming also got some benefits from there, but more people also understand that Daming is still doing a 'losing business'.

After defeating Dongying and Korea, they canonized them to the clan, and they still need to be supported in a short period of time. This is more or less a burden.

Money is always not enough to spend, and the emperor of the Ming Dynasty does not seem to have a luxurious life.However, when the emperors of the Ming Dynasty spent money, they were more powerful than each other, which would put a lot of pressure on the Minister of the Household Department.

Zhu Yunying remembered something, looked at Wang Chengen and asked, "Our Da Sikong hasn't pestered Da Situ in the past few days? Does this give Yu Xin time to enter the palace to ask for an interview?"

Wang Chengen hurriedly told what he knew, "Your Majesty, Yan Shangshu has been busy recently. It is said that the Ministry of Industry's government office is full of officials who are good at water conservancy management, and they have all been transferred back in one go. He also said that Yan Shangshu was only a few days ago. Went to the shipyard and saw the big ship."

"Then he's a little busy, and he doesn't have time to pester Yu Xin." Zhu Yunying laughed dumbfounded, and said, "This Yu Xin, I'm afraid these days are not easy."

Wang Chengen continued, "Yu Shangshu is also a little busy these days. The clan is asking for a share from the bank. It is supposed to be a dividend. I remember that the share has already been put into the warehouse."

This time Zhu Yunying was upset, and asked with a straight face, "The distribution from the bank hasn't been sent to all the government yet?"

Wang Chengen is not complaining, but just doing his own duty, "I am afraid that the dividends from the internal funds have not been distributed to the various governments, but the dividends from the internal funds have already been put into the treasury. I have also invited Her Royal Highness to look at it."

Zhu Yunying laughed back angrily, and said, "This is really good. They know that they can't offend us, but they don't dare to drag our money. On the other side of the clan, they know that our Ming clan is noble, and they don't have any money. Even if you have the power, you can do nothing to them!"

"Your Majesty." Wang Cheng'en became more careful, and was careful to defend Yu Xin, "I want to come to the Ministry of Household Affairs, but I also feel that the imperial court has a lot of money to spend in the future, and that's why the royal family's bonus cannot be paid on time. "

"Confused!" Zhu Yunying grabbed the memorial and threw it at Wang Cheng'en fiercely, "Short-sighted thing! Knowing that the imperial court has a lot of places to use money, this one can stop the clan's bonus from being paid, and tomorrow it will not Have you paid salaries to all the officials? Next, shouldn’t our money be taken away by them too?!”

Wang Chengen hurriedly knelt down, groveling on the ground without daring to move, as for the other court ladies and eunuchs, they also knelt down one by one.

In a rage, the emperor laid down millions of corpses.The man was so angry that blood spattered three feet!
Zhu Yunying did have reason to feel angry, and maybe Yu Xin also had their own reasons, for example, the imperial court will need to spend a lot of money in the future, so at this time, they can consider withholding part of the money, so that the Ministry of Household Affairs will not be able to get the money out.

But Yu Xin shouldn't have done it, he just withheld the royal family's dividends, and more importantly, he didn't inform Zhu Yunying.

The bank, which was created by Zhu Yunying, also urged the clan to take a stake.In the first place, not all the clans took part in the shares, or some of the clans and nobles took the shares, just to 'finance and avoid disaster', just to give Zhu Yunying a face.

Originally, the bank seemed to be on the right track now, and it had already brought some benefits to the clan.Now that the Ministry of Household Affairs is blocking the payment of dividends, the confidence that the clan has accumulated with great difficulty may be completely destroyed at this time.

The most important thing is that Zhu Yunying feels that this is an extremely bad momentum. If he dares to stop the clan's bonus from being paid now, it may become a common practice in the future, and not to pay the clan's dividend when something happens.A further step is not to withhold dividends from the internal funds.

In history, Emperor Chongzhen raised military pay, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty cried poor one by one. The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty and the nobles only raised 20 taels of silver.And when Li Zicheng's army entered Beijing, they began to torture officials and ransack homes everywhere. The generals under Li Zicheng's account rushed to make 7000 pairs of sticks, and received a total of [-] million taels of silver!
Civil and military officials can be poor, but that is only superficially poor. They can cry poor, but they must not be wronged.

But the emperor's business, that is the emperor's business.If the clan is wronged, that is also the emperor's business, and has nothing to do with civil and military officials.It is even the favorite thing for officials of all dynasties to use the clan to establish their prestige!

Yu Xin has done a good job in the position of Minister of the Household Department, and indeed has a lot of credit.But it should never be, Yu Xin should not be smart, let alone start such a bad start, this is something that Zhu Yunying will never allow!

Zhu Yunying's face was cold, he was very unhappy now.It seems that it is indeed time for Shangshu Hube to change.

Yu Xin has been in this position for several years, and it is time for this veteran of the Hongwu Emperor period to give up this position.

Don't say that Zhu Yunying is ungrateful and ungrateful, the emperor should be cruel most of the time, and indecision is definitely not the quality an emperor should have.From the moment Yu Xin thought he was smart, he basically announced the end of his official career.

Zhu Yunying will never allow his six books to be smart, especially to set some precedents that seem to be extremely bad for the future development of the Ming Dynasty.He can do some things, but the courtiers must not do it!

The Hall of Martial Arts seemed to be extremely low-pressure, even Wang Chengen, who was most familiar with Zhu Yunying, was a little trembling at the moment, not to mention the other court ladies and eunuchs, all of them were extremely careful, for fear of accidentally offending His Majesty the Emperor.

After finishing the day's official duties, Zhu Yunying walked directly towards Qianqing Palace.Zhu Yunying can now decide on the matter of changing the household secretary, but he still needs to discuss it with Lao Zhu.

Seeing Zhu Yunying coming over, old Zhu Le said, "What's wrong, don't eat here, I'm afraid I won't be able to eat anymore?"

"I was almost full of anger, so I came to the emperor's grandfather." Zhu Yunying said angrily, "Then Yu Xin is so confused, he dared to withhold the dividends from the clan bank. Let me tell you, he probably thinks we are too kind to him. gone."

Old Zhu looked at Zhu Yunying with a smile, and asked, "Will you chop off his head? Confiscate his home?"

Seeing Zhu Yunying shaking his head, Zhu Yunying said, "That's the reason. You still miss the old love. At most, you will dismiss him from office. Let's say, he has been in the Ministry of Households for too long, and he should retire. Now there is another Nothing to do, we also heard that he wants to retire."

Zhu Yunying was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, "Grandpa Huang means that Yu Xin is not pretending to be smart, he has already planned it?"

Old Zhu also laughed, and said earnestly, "Those old foxes have many eyes. It's not for nothing that we didn't like civil servants that much back then. These people always make trouble for us, and they don't worry about each of them."

Zhu Yunying also laughed and said, "He has a lot of heart, so let's fulfill his wish. Don't you want to sue the old man, let's sue him and return home!"

Old Zhu didn't say much, but based on what he knew about Zhu Yunying, even if Yu Xin retired from his old age and returned home, the process might not be so easy.This Yu Xin wanted to get out of his own way, so it must be no problem.However, what is indispensable is to make a final contribution to Daming Sheji!
