Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 381 Is this Minister of Household Affairs a conspiracy? (Please subscribe!!)

Secretary of the Ministry of Finance?

That is the most difficult official position among the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yuanzhang asked himself to be the Minister of Household Affairs, so he was so vicious!

Ouyang Lun realized at this time that even though he was careful enough, he still fell into Zhu Yuanzhang's trap.

What about suppressing the Prince Consort Party, what about Guo Zi making a mistake and being dismissed from office and making a big fuss, and what about beating up Lan Yu. These were all things Zhu Yuanzhang did to pave the way for him to take over the post of Minister of Household Affairs!
What a deep scheming!

This is Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang! There are ten thousand tricks in my body!
This is another lesson for myself.

Unlike Ouyang Lun's strong opposition, other civil and military officials in the Taiji Palace were stunned when they heard Zhu Yuanzhang's decision. They did not expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would appoint Ouyang Lun as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. But when they accepted this fact, they suddenly felt What a wise decision this is!

Who is Ouyang Lun?
The Ming Dynasty's Prince Consort?

No, no, Ouyang Lun was the former chief envoy of Northern Zhili. He single-handedly built today's Northern Zhili. Northern Zhili alone supported most of the tax revenue of the Ming Dynasty. This is all due to Ouyang Lun. He It was the clan order that reformed the clan welfare system and established a clan support fund, turning the clan that was originally a burden for the Ming Dynasty into a being that could reverse blood transfusions for the Ming Dynasty. He was also the governor of four provinces, and it took only half a year to transform the clan that was already a burden for the Ming Dynasty. With the collapsed economies of the four provinces revitalized, the four southern provinces are likely to become the second economic powerhouse after Beizhili in the future, and the next tax growth point for the Ming Dynasty!

"Guo Zi did a good job, but I need to do better!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "I have already asked the Jinyi Guards to investigate. There is no big problem with Guo Zi. However, in the case of Guo Huan, as the chief officer of the Ministry of Household Affairs, he did not discover it in advance. Since he is responsible for the oversight, I plan to demote him to the position of Minister of Household Affairs and work as your assistant!"

"Of course, if you don't do it, I will demote him to Yunnan. I happen to be sending people there, but I heard that there are many mosquitoes in Yunnan. It's hard to say whether Guo Zi can come back alive."

"So Your Majesty, you just let me do it?" Ouyang Lun said angrily: "No. Guo Zi did a good job, and you dismissed him for this reason?"

When it comes to making money, Ouyang Lun says he is second in the world, but no one dares to say he is number one!

I rely on!

Zhu Yuanzhang was rarely generous.

Seeing Ouyang Lun jumping on his feet, Zhu Yuanzhang raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "Ouyang Lun, asking you to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is not a whim, but a decision I made after thinking for a long time. In the past two years, Ming Dynasty has developed rapidly. , more money. But many things have become complicated. If not handled well, it will inevitably affect the future of Ming Dynasty."

This is no longer a hidden threat, but an open and honest threat!

"Ouyang Lun, you can also ask other people to see what they think of you assuming the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue."

shameless!
For the first time, Ouyang Lun felt that Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang was no different from other emperors, except that Zhu Yuanzhang was hidden deeper than other emperors, but they were essentially the same.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't feel angry at all after hearing this. He smiled and nodded, "Yes, you are right. That's what I think, so you'd better always be the most suitable."

Ouyang Lun was too lazy to pay attention and looked at Lu Chang, "Master Lu, you are the most just. How can an official like me, who likes to collect fees and gifts, be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs? If I were to become the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, then what would happen to me? It might as well be that rats entered the granary and flower pickers entered the brothel!"

Song Lian shook his head and said, "What Ouyang Prince Consort said is serious. Who wouldn't have to lift the table and curse someone when they are pressed? Your character is the best I have ever seen! You are approachable, your words are harmonious, you are gentle with others, and you are as beautiful as a tree."

Ouyang Lun complained crazily in his heart, but did not agree. Instead, he continued to ask: "Your Majesty, if you can take down Guo Zi now, let me come up. In the future, if you meet someone more suitable for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you will also I'll take the place and let the others come up!"

What the hell!

What does the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance do? Those who manage and make money!
It can be said that Ouyang Lun's ability and the responsibilities of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue overlap highly. Looking at the whole world, the most suitable person to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue is Ouyang Lun! !

Zhu Yuanzhang, you are the emperor, you are noble, you are amazing!

"No, Prince Consort Ouyang, I really think that if you become the Minister of Household Affairs, you will be a blessing to the Ming Dynasty and the people of the Ming Dynasty!!" Song Lian said with emotion.

"Stop! You're so proud that I don't even recognize myself!" Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes.

Ouyang Lun quickly looked at Song Lian, "Sir Song, you know me. I am a very irritable person. If I am pushed into a hurry, I will lift the table and curse at others. My personality is definitely not suitable for being the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, right?"

Lu Chang said with a straight face: "Ouyang Prince Consort, I don't allow you to say that about yourself! You do have all kinds of problems, but these problems are nothing compared to your ability to make money!"

"." Ouyang Lun was speechless.

Ouyang Lun saw that these two people could not do it, and looked at the officials of the Consort Party, but before he could speak, Wu Jinzhi spoke first, "Ouyang Consort, we all think that you are the most suitable to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, even in prison. Mr. Guo, if he hears this news, he will definitely applaud with both hands!"

"Master Guo once told me many times that if you were Ouyang's consort and became the Minister of Household Affairs, he would definitely abdicate in favor of someone else!!"

Forehead.
Damn it! For money, even you have rebelled!
In the end, only Ouyang Lun's eyes fell on Lan Yu and other Huaixi Party officials who were being held up.

"Hey, Duke Liang, Your Majesty has asked me to be the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You will have no chance to reach out to the Ministry of Revenue in the future. Why don't you express your position quickly?"

"Actually, now I think there is no problem for you, Duke Liang, to be the Minister of Household Affairs. How about you be the Minister of Household Affairs? I don't have any objection to any of you being the Minister!"

Ouyang Lun said urgently.

After hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Lan Yu and Feng Sheng looked at each other with some doubts in their eyes.

Why is Ouyang Lun so resistant to the position of Minister of Household Affairs?
Could it be that this Minister of Household Affairs is a conspiracy?
right! This must be the case. There are probably many big holes in this household, and His Majesty the Emperor wants people to fill them!
Otherwise, why would Ouyang Lun refuse like this? It definitely doesn't look like an act.

Although there was no dialogue, Lan Yu and Feng Sheng had worked together for many years and could know each other's intentions with just one look. So after some eye contact, Lan Yu said: "Consort Ouyang, don't belittle yourself. Your ability is For all to see.”

"You are the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, which is really what everyone expects!"

What! ?

Ouyang Lun was stunned when he heard Lan Yu's words.

Is this still the Lan Yu I know? Don’t you have a big fight with Lan Yu and fight to the death? Why is this guy talking to me?
This is too unreal.

Just when Ouyang Lun was still confused, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke again, "Ouyang Lun, now you see and ask clearly. All the civil and military officials in the court recognize you as the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. It seems that only you can manage the household well." Department."

"Then don't waste any more time."

"According to my decree, the governors of the four provinces, the clan officials, and the consort Wei Ouyang Lun are all loyal to the country, have outstanding achievements, and are good at business management. I have specially appointed him as the Minister of the Ministry of Households and in charge of the money, grain and taxation of the Ming Dynasty!!"

"Your Majesty, your Majesty!" In the Taiji Hall, except for Ouyang Lun, other civil and military ministers shouted.

"Ouyang Lun, you are now the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. Regarding the issue of money, food and taxation, if you have any questions, please contact him!"

After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly leaned on the dragon chair, looking like he was watching a good show.

next second.

Officials took action.

"Ouyang Shangshu, should I give you the money from the Ministry of Works to repair the river today? If you don't give it, then the flood season will come, and there will be endless floods!"

"Ouyang Shangshu, the Ministry of Revenue promised our Honglu Temple to repair the post station before. It has been so long and the money has not arrived. Many foreign envoys have come and the houses they live in are leaking. This is detrimental to the face of our Ming Dynasty. !”

"And our Ministry of War is purchasing a new batch of ordnance and food and wages."

The ministers looked at Ouyang Lun one by one and kept talking, but the core of all of them was the same, which was to ask for money! !

Even Wu Jinzhi was asking Ouyang Lun for money.

"Go, there are people like you. I haven't secured my position as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue yet, and you come to ask for money. Don't think that I don't know what you are thinking. You must want to control the situation in the Ministry of Revenue before I do it." I don’t know much about it before I try to fish in troubled waters!”

"Anyone who asks for money again will be blocked!"

Ouyang Lun's words are still very powerful. Now that Ouyang Lun has become the Minister of Household Affairs, he is the proper God of Wealth.

If you really offend this God of Wealth, life will definitely be difficult in the future.

All of a sudden, all the civil and military officials in the Tai Chi Hall stopped their activities. Even Lan Yu and Feng Sheng planned to stay away from the spotlight for the time being and wait and see the situation first.

Just when everyone wanted to see Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude, they found that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't seem to want to speak at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not speak, and no one among the officials dared to provoke Ouyang Lun, so the Tai Chi Hall fell into silence again.

In the end, Lan Yu couldn't help but said in a sour tone: "Ouyang Prince Consort is really a busy man! He returned to Beijing half a month ago and didn't show up until today. Those who knew knew that you were resting, and those who didn't knew thought you were detained. Get up, by then people will spread rumors that His Majesty has taken action against you, a great hero!"

"Now that you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you don't handle official affairs. What's wrong? Do you want the entire Ming Dynasty to revolve around you?"

Lan Yu's words were thorny and showed no mercy at all.

Lan Yu, Duke of Liang State, is now a newly rising figure in the Huaixi Party. He is relatively young. He is the founding lord and the prince's uncle-in-law. Even a fool can tell that he is a leader among the future ministers of the Ming Dynasty.

Now that Li Shanchang has lost power, Lan Yu has almost taken up the banner of the Huaixi Party.

Ouyang Lun is the spiritual leader of the Prince Consort Party, and the confrontation between these two people represents the confrontation between the Huaixi Party and the Prince Consort Party.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this scene, he was already happy. Finally, someone was singing on the stage he set up.

Keep going and don’t stop!

Although Zhu Yuanzhang did not say this out loud, his attitude said everything.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang did not stop him, other officials also looked at Ouyang Lun and Lan Yu silently, waiting for a good show.

Ouyang Lu was not angry at all because of what Lan Yu said. Instead, he picked his ears with his little finger and said disapprovingly: "Dong Guo Liang, Duke Liang, you are too troublesome. People are like this." can say?"

"Do you know what life was like for me in the four southern provinces? Hundreds of thousands of rebels were chasing me and fighting!"

"I have finally settled the matter in the four southern provinces. Now that I have come back to rest for a few more days, I still have to be beaten by you. Do you have any clues in your heart? Do you know who caused the mess in the four southern provinces? "

"Is this how you treat your savior?"

"Savior? Whose savior are you?!" Lan Yu said angrily.

"No, are you really stupid or are you pretending to be stupid? Do you have to tell me clearly? If I really say it, everyone's face will not look good. How many people have been killed in Guo Huan's case and the incidents in the four southern provinces? Boss, how many of them are related to you Lan Yu? Can you tell me clearly?"

Ouyang Lun asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"Ouyang Lun, stop talking nonsense! You are spitting blood!" Lan Yu was so angry that she pointed at Ouyang Lun.

"Hey, Lan Yu, you want to do something again? If I give you another twenty blows, you will have to lie in bed in the next life!" Ouyang Lun said "worriedly".

"You" Lan Yu was so angry that he almost jumped up. If it weren't for the two guards supporting him, he would have fallen to the ground by now. However, even if someone was supporting him, the violent shaking of his body caused the wound on his butt to crack. Open, Lan Yu grinned in pain.

"Lanyu, don't be impulsive!" Just when Lan Yu was going crazy, Feng Sheng quickly stopped her.

"Ouyang Prince Consort, now that you have become the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, please give an explanation as soon as possible about the silver reward that should be given to the army. Otherwise, I will not be able to suppress those soldiers. If something goes wrong by then, all these things will happen. Count it on you.”

Feng Sheng is much calmer than Lan Yu, and his words are more threatening.

"Song Guogong, we are not too familiar with each other. We are in the Taiji Palace again. You should call me Lord Ouyang or Ouyang Shangshu. Ouyang Prince Consort must be called someone who is familiar with me." Ouyang Lun waved his hand, " As for the silver reward for the army you mentioned, the Ministry of Revenue has its own decision. If soldiers make trouble, you must not suppress it, otherwise others will think that the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty the Emperor have done something to disgrace the soldiers!"

"If any soldiers have any objections to the household department, just ask them to come to me!"

"Hmph! You are a dignified minister. How can ordinary soldiers see you? I'm afraid they will rush out before they see you!" Feng Sheng said solemnly.

"Song Guogong, you see, this is your short-sightedness. If you don't see ordinary soldiers, you can't say that I don't see you!" Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "You have reminded me. In this way, I will become the minister. One thing is to get down to the grassroots!”

“Come from the masses, go back to the masses!!”
