Daming heir

Chapter 260 We Daming Are Poor

In the Zhongji Hall, the civil servants had ordered the grandson to reopen the meeting, and they were very happy.

After all, which family doesn't have a child who just happened to take the exam?
Zhu Yunxi, who was on the steps, calmly looked down at what was happening in front of him, with a smile on his face.

The core issue is interest.

When the people who benefit are greater than the people who suffer, they will take the initiative to give up the so-called justice they originally insisted on.

Just like Ren Hengtai, the new minister of the Ministry of Rites, who has been looking forward to the position of minister for several years, finally got his wish today. At this time, it is not impossible for him to be the supporter of Xinxue.

In fact it is.

Ren Hengtai couldn't restrain his whole body tense after receiving the order to thank him, and he was full of joy.

After receiving the order to reopen the meeting, he subconsciously thought of the knowledge of the unity of knowledge and action introduced by Xinxue.

Should I add psychological exam questions in the re-opened exam?

At this moment, Ren Hengtai was already thinking about this question.

After all, it is obvious that the promotion of Xinxue cannot be stopped.The Taisun's will has been clearly expressed, and none of the officials in the court dared to say anything against it at this time.

Only Yu Xin, the right servant of the household department, stood in the corner sullenly, puzzled that he hadn't heard that he had been promoted to Shangshu like that old man.

This time, he did not participate in the orthodox dispute of Confucianism, and after seeing Taisun implement in Zhejiang Province, he took advantage of the opportunity of the kings to enter Beijing this year, and admonished the clan's policy of reducing Lumi in front of the emperor.

It is precisely because of this that I have the official position of the right servant of the household department.

Today, Zhao Mian, Minister of the Household Department, asked for leave due to illness and could not attend today's court meeting.Anyone with a discerning eye could tell that Zhao Mian was flustered.

In the past, Hubu had been the closest to Liu Sanwu and others, so it was reasonable to keep a low profile at the cusp of such a storm.

It is foreseeable that Zhao Mian's position as Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs will be unstable. As long as there is a memorial to beg for bones, the imperial court will let him change his hometown.If there is something illegal about being impeached again, maybe there will be another questioning.

Yu Xin really couldn't figure out why he didn't take over the household affairs.

At this time, Chang Sheng, the founding father of the Fifth Army Commander's Mansion headed by the military commander Ban Lie, was already out of the squad to play.

"Report to the grandson, the minister has a book to play."

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, and what he was really concerned about came.

He said immediately: "Quasi-playing."

Chang Sheng's complexion was deep, and there was a faint murderous look, which made the civil servants beside him stare suspiciously at the Duke who is now the number one general in Beijing.

What could make this person react like this?

Just when the civil servants were puzzled.

Chang Sheng took out the memorial from his pocket, and bowed his hands.

Sun Gou'er, who was standing on the steps, immediately trotted up to Chang Sheng, and handed the memorial to Zhu Yunxie.

And Chang Sheng said eloquently: "Report to the grandson, Guangxi Dao reported that Annan and Liao people were arrogant, ignored Daming, and boldly plundered Guangxi Dao, Guangdong Dao and other places, invaded the border people, and killed our court officials. The army, slaughtered our people. Its behavior is arrogant! Its crime cannot be erased!"

"Minister, please play the imperial court's decree to reprimand the envoys of Annan and the Liao people in Beijing, and order Guangxi and Guangdong to raise troops to punish Annan and the Liao people for their disobedience."

Is this the opening battle?

In the past, he always kept a low profile, but the most modest founder of the country actually took the initiative to ask for the founding war to conquer the south?

This doesn't fit his personality!
Zhan Hui looked back unexpectedly, and said that he wanted to raise troops to conquer Chang Sheng in the south.

Then, he looked at the grandson of the emperor on the steps.

Zhan Hui always felt that this matter was not that simple. Just now, Taisun exiled Juren and the three tribes in the Jinke fraud case to Zhennanguan. Now Chang Sheng came out to reveal that Annan and the Lao people had committed murder on the side and demanded the court Raise troops to conquer.

It's weird everywhere.

Zhan Hui couldn't help but bumped into the Ministry of War Shangshu Ruyu beside him.

"Does your military department know about Guangxi Dao?"

Ru Yu shook her head in a daze, her eyes were also confused, she was clearly the minister of the Ministry of War, but she didn't know about Guangxi Dao?

Ru Yu said in a muffled voice, "The military department didn't know about this matter in advance."

Zhan Hui snorted, and then said in a low voice: "So, the trouble Annan and the Lao people caused is not too big."

Ruyu nodded.

Only when the disturbances were not serious, and Annan and the Lao people did not kill many Ming officers and soldiers and border residents, would there be no memorials sent to the Ministry of War.

But how did Chang Sheng know?
Chang Sheng naturally knew.

The matter of Guangxi Dao was originally sent back to Beijing by the old man's people, Zhu Yunxi handed it over to the second uncle himself, and made it public in the court today.

In the court hall, the bosses are making their own calculations.

But someone has already stepped out of the train.

It is the person in charge of the Ministry of household affairs.

The Ministry of Household Affairs came out of the class and bowed: "I want to report to the grandson, I think it is not appropriate for the Ming Dynasty to launch an expedition in the south at this time."

The meritorious generals who had long known Taisun's intentions snorted coldly.

Cao Zhen, the Marquis of Jingchuan, stood up and yelled: "The monkeys in the trees in the south have all come into the house. Is it possible that I, Daming, have to endure it? Do you want to wait until they come outside the hall tomorrow?" , you also want to say that it is not appropriate to go to war!"

"You!" The Ministry of Household Affairs, whose face was flushed by Cao Zhen's words during the incident, stomped his feet fiercely: "Jingchuanhou, you don't want to talk nonsense here! Not to mention whether Annan and the Liao people will fight Go to Yingtian. If there is trouble in the south, the imperial court will raise troops to conquer, and I am afraid that I will not be able to rest for a day in the frontier, right?"

Cao Zhen snorted coldly: "According to what you said, why don't I, Ming Dynasty, return to the frontier army of millions now?"

The Ministry of Households stomped their feet again in the matter, and the reckless man is not the same!

Chang Sheng turned his head and glared at Cao Zhen, saying this should not be said indiscriminately: "Jing Chuan Hou said it carefully!"

Cao Zhen looked at Chang Sheng, curled his lips, but stopped talking.

Chang Sheng took over the words: "I understand what the Ministry of Household said in the matter. But my view of Annan can be described as wolfish ambition. Since the founding of the country, my emperor has sent envoys to the south many times to appease the countries. But Annan and others But the land has repeatedly harassed me on the border of the Ming Dynasty, and I have not changed my mind after repeated admonitions. I have practiced benevolence and righteousness, and have never launched a large-scale military campaign, but if I retreat again and again, where can I retreat to?"

"What the Duke said, the lower officials are aware of it. But if there is chaos in the border areas, there will be a large-scale conquest. Has the Duke ever thought about the difficulty of the household department, and whether the treasury can support this war?"

The Ministry of Households still argued with reason in the matter, and turned around and said directly: "Please tell your grandson, grandson, you can ask the Ministry of Households, how much grain do I have in the treasury today, how much grain is left in the big warehouses in various places, can you Support another war than the Nine Sides War."

"Oh?" Zhu Yunxi let out a low voice, and looked at Yu Xin, the right servant of the household department, who was silent and unhappy: "What is the amount of money and food in the household department?"

Yu Xin frowned and went out of the class: "I want to report to my grandson, this year the summer grains of all the Taoists have been stored in the warehouse, and Jiubian has been released, and the autumn Fu has been collected. It is still being cleaned up. The imperial court then sent millions of loads of grain and grass. A few months ago, the Duke of Liang went out to pacify the northwest, and the country’s financial resources were difficult. At this time, if we go to the south again..."

The right servant of the Ministry of Finance almost squeezed his brows together.

To sum it up in one sentence, the household department has money, but not much.

And the Ministry of Household said in the matter: "The end of the year is approaching, and there will be a performance from the Qintian Supervisor. There may be heavy snow this winter, and the Ministry of Households will also set aside a large warehouse to store surplus food in case it is used for relief. Please also ask grandson Mingxiao. "

No money.

The court has no money.

Zhu Yunxi was a little helpless, but the answer given by the household department was also within his expectations.

If at any time, he can hear from these people that the court's money can't be spent, it will be a ghost.

Thinking about it, it seems that Daming's image from the beginning to the end, seems to have always been a big, big and three rough person, constantly shouting that he has no money, no money, no money.

Zhu Yunxi said in a deep voice: "Guangxi Road was plundered and slaughtered, what do you think the court should do?"

Yu Xin was bitter in his heart. Although the grandson did not call the name, his eyes were fixed on him.

He had no choice but to say: "The imperial court... the looting of Guangxi Dao this time is probably not serious. The imperial court now ordered Guangxi Dao to appease and help the border people. The Ministry of War and the Governor's Mansion issued a letter to Guangxi Dao. , ordered him to rectify military affairs and strictly guard the frontiers, so that Annan and the Liao people would not have another opportunity to take advantage of."

This is well-worn advice.

In fact, it was impossible for the imperial court to send troops to conquer if something went wrong.

This is militarism. Sooner or later, the treasury will be emptied, and we will die together.

But Zhu Yunxi was not satisfied with such an answer, and snorted: "So, Annan and the Liao people did not take any action to pursue the crime against me?"

Yu Xin's eyes swept over Zhan Hui, Ru Yu and others, hoping that these people could say a few words for him, but now he found that the grandson seemed to be staring at himself alone.

Zhan Hui coughed lightly.

Ru Yu reluctantly left the class and stood in front of Yu Xin: "Report to the grandson, the country's money is difficult, and the country is the most important thing. The Ministry of War thinks that it is enough to reprimand the envoys of Annan and Liao people, and reprimand Guangxi Dao. The Ministry of War should do the same. Wen admonished Guangxi Dao to practice soldiers and horses, so that there should be no more incidents."

Zhan Hui also came out of the squad and said: "Your Highness, it is a big taboo for military strategists, and you should not move lightly. Even if Your Highness wants to conquer the country that is not subject to the south, he should also repair the country internally. World depends on war."

As the Ministry of Officials, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Households successively stated their positions, it showed the difficulties of the court.

The officials who had previously stood with Zhu Yunxi and supported the punishment of those involved in the fraud case of the conference examination, stood up again, seconded the proposal of the third department, and dissuaded Zhu Yunxi from launching a conquest lightly.

Cao Zhen's face was full of displeasure, and he couldn't help growling: "Humiliation! Shame! Cowardly!"

All the meritorious generals also showed displeasure.

In the court hall, there was a stalemate for a while.

The civil servants feared that the grandson of the emperor would be kidnapped by the meritorious generals of the court and embark on the path of militarism, and worried that the national treasury would become increasingly short and unable to make ends meet.

The military generals are eager to start the conquest, and take down the piece of land in the south and take it into their pockets.

Zhu Yunxi looked outside the hall.

Yesterday, the fleet of the Zhenwa army came back to Beijing to report, but why hasn't it arrived yet.

He was waiting for the silver that Li Jinglong and Tie Xuan had looted from the Wa kingdom.

It's just that at the moment, he has not waited for the money.

But Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao appeared outside the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the lead, and he walked vigorously: "Where are you not a minister, offend my Ming Dynasty, and humiliate my people?"

All the officials in the hall were shocked.

His Majesty, whom he had not seen for a long time, unexpectedly showed up today.

Crashing, in the blink of an eye, all the officials in the palace had already turned to face the gate of the palace.

"Your Majesty is welcome."

"Long live your majesty, and a thousand years for the prince."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and he walked up to the majesty's steps, and his palm patted on the shoulder of Zhu Yunxi who stood up with all the officials.

"sit down."

Zhu Yuanzhang whispered in Zhu Yunxi's ear, and pushed him back on the chair.

Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang put one hand on Zhu Yunxi's shoulder, and waved the other hand on his waist in the air: "Tell me about it."

Chang Sheng immediately said, "Your Majesty, there is news from Guangxi Road that the Annan and Liao tribes invaded the border, killed our officers, soldiers and civilians, and plundered the territory. The people and gods are all angry!"

The Ministry of Household Affairs also said: "Your Majesty, the country's funds are difficult, the nine borders are heavily armed, and the conquests continue. The court must not easily start a war in the south."

Yu Xin echoed: "Your Majesty, the two taxes for this year have already been calculated, and it is really difficult to supply them for the Southern Expedition."

But Zhu Yunxi suddenly said: "There is only a shortage of left and right in the household department, and the big warehouse is stretched. If the imperial court has never had a shortage of food, grass and money, so what?"

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was contemplating and examining, suddenly lowered his head to look at the eldest grandson who said this.

Yu Xin hesitated for a moment, and then said: "If the imperial court wants to conquer the south, there will be no less than 20 officers and soldiers, and no less than [-] civilian husbands. If the Ministry of Households has this kind of money and food supply, the Ministry of War and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies will be able to guarantee victory in the conquest. The Ministry of Households has no objection. "

After Yu Xin finished speaking, he looked up at the grandson above him, but he was thinking in his heart that it is impossible for the imperial court to be rich anyway.

One hundred thousand troops, 20 civilians, local attrition, that is an astronomical figure, unless money or grain falls from the sky.

Zhu Yuanzhang muttered: "Internal money..."

"Report, the imperial mission to Zhejiang Province for disaster relief sent the King of Qin to Beijing."

"Report, the general who suppressed the Japanese has a capital to enter Beijing."

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was estimating how much money he could spend from his private house, so that Chang Sheng could take his grandson to the south to see the military affairs with his own eyes, there was a notification from the eunuch outside the palace.

The emperor's eyebrows twitched involuntarily.

Zhu Yunxi's heart was beating wildly, and he immediately looked up at the old man, then stood up abruptly: "Called into the hall!"

All the officials in the hall also turned their heads to look outside the hall.

Everyone knew in their hearts that the Zhejiang Dao and the Suppressing Wo army were all brought to power by the grandson.

And the DPRK and China may not have heard about these two sides for a long time.

Under the watchful eyes of civil and military officials, two people outside the hall stepped into the hall side by side.

One is Zhang Wen, the deputy general of the Zhenwa Army, Heqing Hou.

One is Wenhuadian Xingxing and Tobe doctor Natsuhara Yoshi.
