Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 239 Honorable Support

The words in Korean are also quite harsh. In fact, they are saying that Qi You is not worthy of being a courtier. The court is so difficult. Since you have a good idea, then you can say it!If you have a good idea and still hide it, and use it to attack your boss, you are not only failing to be a minister, you even have a problem with your character. This is actually for Zhu Youtang.

Don't listen to nonsense for people like this, just berate them directly, and just berate them if they are not good, or even consider dismissing them directly.

Is it actually correct in Korean?Naturally, it is right in the righteousness. To put it bluntly, the slogans are shouted loudly, which is the same in nature as the slogans shouted by the Donglin Party in the future, but anyone can shout slogans. Will they really do it themselves?The answer is no, these people are just shouting slogans.

If Qi You really revealed the method, then it must be the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhong Zhong, who will preside over it. If it is done, Zhong Zhong has made a lot of contributions, and Qi You's rewards are very few, and it is even more impossible to shake Zhong Zhong.If you lose, Qi Zhong will be affected, but Qi You will basically be affected more. This situation is the same as in later generations. The credit belongs to the leader, and the responsibility belongs to the subordinate.

Qi You is not a fool, he would do such a thing?Unless he wants to rely on the leadership to get promoted, and wants to curry favor with Zhong Zhong.

But does Qi You need to curry favor with him now?Does he need to rely on him to get promoted?No need at all, Qi Zhong is his obstacle, only by killing Qi You can he have the possibility of ascending.Of course, Qi You can also choose another path, which is to put down Yan Tiesi, and then release it to the outside. Gan Yiren is transferred back to the center outside. This is also the promotion path for most civil servants.

But can Qi Youneng release Yan Tiesi now?Letting go of the Secretary of Salt and Iron, how is he different from other officials?Based on what he has done, it is estimated that if he goes out, he will not even think about coming back.

Qi You glanced at Han Wen, and he also knew that Han Wen was digging a hole for himself, putting himself in a dilemma, saying no, no saying no, but it was not difficult to push away, so Qi You's expression did not change at all, and he said directly : "As the so-called seeks his own government in his position, although Qi has the heart, he is powerless. Besides, it is better not to do this kind of thing to the corpses and vegetarians. "

This sentence once again brought the focus to Zhong Zhong, and Qi You was very clear about who his target was, and that was Shang Shu Zhong of the Household Department.

What is there to argue with Hanwen, the right servant of the household department?At most, Korean is only open, and it doesn't matter if you win or lose. My goal is the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, so I still have to clearly distinguish the priorities.

"okay!"

Zhu Youtang spoke at this time. He knew that if the two of them argued, it would be endless. Qi You insisted on the fact that Zhong Zhong’s body was a vegetarian meal. Anyway, it’s a fact that the court’s finances are difficult. You have been doing it for several years. , No achievements, this is also a fact, as long as you bite this point to death, you will be pissed off.

The two bowed quickly, and then retreated together. It was obvious that His Majesty didn't want to listen to the two of them arguing.

"Do you have any other opinions?" Zhu Youtang said in a calm voice, but the meaning was obvious, don't talk about money anymore.

As soon as Zhu Youtang said this, the hearts of the ministers thumped. It was obvious that His Majesty was tempted. Don't talk about money, that would be dissatisfaction with Zhong Zhong.In fact, Zhu Youtang was indeed dissatisfied with Zhong Zhong. He was indeed a city guard, but the finances of the Ming Dynasty were like this. If there was no Yanzheng created by his son, the current finances of the Ming Dynasty might not be so miserable.

This is also true in history. The Ming court had no money. One of the biggest reasons why Emperor Zhengde raised Liu Jin was to get money.

When money cannot be obtained through legitimate channels, the emperor usually chooses treacherous ministers. In Daming, it is basically raising eunuchs to get money. Even if it is embezzled into his home, it does not matter. If you kill him with a knife, you will get it back.Wang Zhi of the Chenghua Dynasty, Liu Jin of the Zhengde Dynasty, and Wei Zhongxian of the Tianqi Dynasty were all like this.

The Chenghua Dynasty had just experienced a civil fort, and the court suffered heavy losses.The emperor wants to get money, where can he get it?Let Wang Zhi do it, the effect is obvious, and the Chenghua Dynasty quickly restored its national strength.

It was the same in the Zhengde Dynasty. Where did the Emperor Zhengde get the money to organize the Beijing camp, and where did he get the money to put down King Ning's rebellion? Liu Jin didn't get it.The Tianqi Dynasty is even more obvious. When Wei Zhongxian was alive, how much was the imperial court's taxation, and when Wei Zhongxian was gone, how much was the imperial court's taxation? These are all accountable.When Wei Zhongxian was alive, the imperial court even had money to reduce taxes and provide disaster relief, and the salary in Liaodong was also sufficient.

But Wei Zhongxian died, and the emperor was replaced by Chongzhen. How many people have been harmed by the court's three salaries and additional levy?Who earns a lot of money?Not yet the gentry and the Donglin Party.

Zhu Youtang is also dissatisfied with Qi Zhong now, but thinks that Qi You can do it. If the tax is really not increased to make the tax sufficient, even if Qi You's character is not very good, Zhu Youtang doesn't care.What the emperor cares about is never your personal character, but whether you are useful to the court, and you can use it if you are useful.

"I think this is feasible!" At this time, the British Duke Zhang Mao stood up and said with a serious face.

When everyone saw the British public Zhang Mao, they felt that they had a solid foundation in their hearts. Sure enough, they were pushed by nobles. However, the status of the British public Zhang Mao was too high, which caused headaches for the civil servants present, because Zhang Mao belonged to the third generation of the Ming Dynasty. , the grandson of Zhang Maohejian Wang Zhangyu, the eldest son of Dingxing Wang Zhang Fushu.

Needless to mention Zhang Yu, Emperor Taizong rated Jing Nan as the number one in meritorious service. During the Battle of Jing Nan, he captured the Nine Gates of Beiping, served as the vanguard of the Yan Army, and defeated Geng Bingwen, the coach of the Southern Army.Later, he became the chief general of the Yan army and defeated Li Jinglong twice in Zhengcunba and Baigouhe.In the Battle of Dongchang, in order to save Zhu Di, he broke into the enemy's formation and died in exhaustion.

During the reign of Yongle, he was conferred the posthumous posthumous title of Duke Rongguo, with the posthumous posthumous title of Zhongxian.

Speaking of Zhang Fu, he participated in the battle of Jingnan with his father in his early years, and was repeatedly granted the title of Marquis of Xincheng.In the fourth year of Yongle, the right deputy general followed Cheng Guogong Zhu Nengnan to conquer Annan, and immediately took over as the commander-in-chief.Zhu Gaoxu, king of the Han Dynasty, rebelled, lured the heroes to serve as internal support, and secretly sent people to Zhang Fu's residence at night.Zhang Fu caught him and reported Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji, and found out the evidence of Zhu Gaoxu's rebellion.

Zhang Fu made great contributions to the state, the key is that he died miserably, the 75-year-old Zhang Fu died in the rebellion in the Civil War.

Zhang Mao had a father like Zhang Fu and a grandfather like Zhang Yu. Both generations died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. Can you afford to suffer?
