Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Chapter 80: Add Taibao, give bullfighting uniforms,

  Chapter 80 Jiataibao, giving bullfighting uniforms, reform is imperative!

   "Your Majesty!"

   "Your Majesty!"

   "Your Majesty!"

  Jin Yiwei began to drag Song Shixiang out of the hall, and Song Shixiang shouted eagerly for the apocalypse.

  He is extremely regretful and terrified now.

   But he also didn't know how to justify his opportunistic behavior of impeaching Wei Zhongxian under the name of Bozhi at this time, instigated by Zhao Nanxing, so he could only shout "Your Majesty".

  Zhao Nanxing was also very disturbed at this time.

He did not expect that Zhang Gui, the uncle of the country, really brought back six million shi of grain and gave the emperor the capital not to compromise with the officials, gentry and landlords all over the world, so that today Qi Qi suddenly ordered Song Shixiang to be imprisoned, and the mastermind behind the scenes should be tried So, it is clear that he wants to attack people like himself who are secretly eager to overthrow Wei.

   "Everyone has nothing to do about the loss of grain. Only Zhang Gui can bring back six million shi of grain from overseas at once. The princes of the Manchu Dynasty are not as good as a foreign relative. Are you ashamed?"

   Tian Qi looked at the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty with disdain at this time, and asked a question.

  His words seemed to have slapped Zhao Nanxing and other civil officials on the face, making Zhao Nanxing and others feel even more uncomfortable.

  Yuan Keli stood up generously, holding an elephant wat and bowing: "I am ashamed, I have owed the grace of God!"

  Yuan Keli took the lead, Han Yu, Zhu Guozuo, Sun Chengzong, etc. also followed and said: "I am ashamed, I owe the grace of God!"

  Finally, Zhao Nanxing, Yang Lian, Gao Panlong, Shen Yongmao, Zuo Guangdou, etc. also had to stand up and said: "I am ashamed, I owe the grace of God!"

"Declaration, Zhang Gui, the governor of the left, made a great contribution by annihilating the Jiannu Mang Gurtai before, and captured Mang Gurtai alive. Now he has raised another six million shi to relieve the urgent need of the court. He will make another great contribution, two contributions And pushed, he was named the Taibao, received the earl's salary, and gave him bullfighting clothes."

   Apocalypse is destined at this time.

   "Thank you, Your Majesty Long En."

   Zhang Gui received the decree, and he was quite happy because of it. After all, it is a rare honor in Daming to give the bullfighting uniform and add the Taibao.

  Of course, Zhang Gui is also worthy of this honor now.

  Capturing alive Mang Gurtai, one of the four great Baylors of Jiannu, this feat is enough to embarrass the military officials of the whole court.

  Forcing the shogunate to pay for food and compensation can be regarded as advocating the martial arts of Ming Dynasty.

   What's more, the six million shi of grain brought back by Zhang Gui also gave Tianqi the confidence to suppress civil servants and scholar-bureaucrats.

  However, Zhang Gui spent a lot of time and effort to let Xichang go on an expedition to the Wa Kingdom. His original intention was not to make a contribution, but to make Tianqi and the ministers who were still determined to reform in the court determined to reform and reform.

   Still the same sentence, Zhang Gui wanted to use his own efforts to force some ministers who still cared about the country to make up their minds to support the emperor's reforms.

  No way, the current civil servants seem to always need him, a foreign relative, to whip behind him with a whip before they are willing to actively reform and innovate.

  Taicang.

  Emperor Tianqi, Chief Assistant Han Yu, Minister of the Household Department Wang Yingjiao, official of the Policy Department Yuan Keli and other ministers were overjoyed to see baskets of grain from the East being transported into the warehouse by soldiers.

And Zhang Gui, who is also here and has changed into a first-grade bullfighting uniform, reported to Tianqi at this time: "Your Majesty, although the West Factory brought back six million stones of grain through rectification of the sea trade this time, and then solved the problem of this year's The crisis caused by the interruption of grain transportation, but it is impossible for Xichang to bring back millions of stones of grain from overseas every year. Besides, the overseas grain is not enough to solve the problem of the imperial court’s current treasury being empty, so next year’s water transportation cannot be interrupted like this If we continue, not only can we not go on like this, but we have to recover the taxes from all the provinces in the world to strengthen the national treasury, so as to eliminate internal troubles and calm foreign troubles!"

"Your Majesty, I believe that what Uncle Guo said is true! This year's shortage of food supplies is no longer enough to affect the training of tens of thousands of new troops in the Armed Forces School this year, as well as the supply of military supplies in various places. Then next year it will be enough to mobilize some troops to go south. And as the reliance of Qingzhang's farmland, let the rich and powerful households pay all the taxes owed, and spit out all the merged fields!"

  Yuan Keli said.

   "The reform is imperative! Your policy department should immediately formulate the corresponding New Deal regulations without delay!"

  Tianqi looked at Yuan Keli and others very seriously at this time and said.

"yes!"

  Yuan Keli, Chen Zizhuang and other ministers of the Policy Department immediately clapped their hands and replied.

  …

   "Reforms cannot be stopped!"

  Boom!

In the garden of the Zhao residence, Zuo Guangdou gathered together with his colleague Gao Panlong and others after he came down to court, discussing the state affairs, and as he spoke, he hit the wall with his fist in a depressed mood, and gritted his teeth and said, "Brother She and the others died in vain too. !"

   "Yes! Now, Yuan Liqing and the others are going to part ways with us completely, and they will no longer deal with relatives together!"

Gao Panlong also sighed, and said: "But I never expected that the uncle from another country would go to the East to transport grain and come back. We lost this time, and only focused on the Ming Dynasty. !"

   "How can foreign barbarians be as rich as China? Uncle Guo can transport six million stone grains from overseas. I'm afraid it will force people to empty their treasury. This is not the way of Confucianism!"

   Zhao Nanxing couldn't help complaining at this time.

Zuo Guangdou said with a wry smile: "Uncle Zhang Guo is not my Confucian official! The Japanese shogunate is cowardly, and they voluntarily compensated for money and food instead of fighting to the death with the soldiers and horses of Xichang. It’s cheaper for Uncle Zhang Guo, let our Uncle Guo get millions of stone grains by setting up a few cannons!”

   "This is not good for us officials and gentry. The Eastern treasury is empty. Next year, the demand for bulk goods such as raw silk sold to Japan will inevitably decline. The large silk producers in the south of the Yangtze River will be severely damaged by this. It is estimated that they will not improve until next year."

   Gao Panlong said at this time.

Zuo Guangdou nodded: "The uncle of this country is really a big disaster! It has completely messed up the world, and now even the country of Wa has been involved! I am really worried now, what he does will make His Majesty develop a good friend in the future. When things can’t be solved, go to the habit of expropriating and extorting from foreign countries, and then even more advocating martial arts and advocating domineering! Completely abandon my Confucian way of sages inside and kings outside!”

   "That's why I say this is not the way of Confucianism!"

"It's nothing more than extorting foreign powers. What I am more worried about is that the emperor will completely abandon the rule of virtue internally, and will not be satisfied with being a wise ruler. For example, right now, as Yi said, the reform is inevitable, and the emperor will pursue it." Fu!"

   Zhao Nanxing said.

"Although the reform is inevitable, it is not easy to implement it smoothly. Since ancient times, the implementation of the reform must first eliminate the rule of officials and eliminate dissidents, and now the imperial court must do the same if it wants to reform. Therefore, the key to everything now lies in the Ministry of Officials. I only hope that Otsuka will Then we can withstand the pressure.”

   Zuo Guangdou bowed to Zhao Nanxing as he spoke.

Zhao Nanxing said: "Even if the old man is sentenced to death and his home is ransacked, he will not let any edict that is not conducive to my Donglin stand be implemented through the Ministry of Officials! But now that Song Shixiang is in prison, he is afraid that he will be beaten into a trick, saying that the old man formed a party with him for personal gain. , plotting to coerce the king to overthrow Wei."

   "Wei Xizhen really wants to force Song Shixiang to accuse Otsuka Zai, and I, Donglin Qunxian, will save Otsuka Zai!"

  Zuo Guangdao.

  Gao Panlong also said: "If Eunuch dares to harm Otsuka Zai, we will fight for Otsuka Zai!"

  Shen Yongmao also said: "That's right, Zai Otsuka is assured."

  Zhao Nanxing smiled: "That's good, and please rest assured that Mr. Donglin's will will not be annihilated in the court!"

   "There is a decree, Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, will accept the decree!"

   At this time, it was rumored that Feng Guan had come to the Zhao residence, and Zhao Nanxing had no choice but to order someone to set up an incense table and kneel down to welcome the imperial edict.

   Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong and others here also knelt down.

"The imperial edict said: Because the new law was approved by the Department of Policy Planning, I think it is very appropriate, and the administration of officials has been clarified, and the power rests with the Ministry of Officials. Therefore, Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, immediately implemented the new policy determined by the Department of Policy Planning and implemented it throughout the country. , hereby!"

   At this time, the Chuan Feng Guan read out the decree.

  Zuo Guangdou and Gao Panlong couldn't help thinking after hearing this: "Sure enough, the imperial court first implemented the examination method, and directly asked the officials to implement the examination method. Now it depends on whether Mr. Zhao can withstand the pressure."

  After thinking so in their hearts, the two looked at Zhao Nanxing with burning eyes.

  In the Ming Dynasty, not only the Six Divisions and the Cabinet had the power to return the imperial edicts, but the Six Departments also had the power to return the imperial edicts, and Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, naturally also had the power to return the imperial edicts issued by the cabinet in the name of the Ministry of Officials.

   "The minister obeys the order!"

   However, Zhao Nanxing did not return the imperial edict at this time, but accepted the imperial edict generously.

  Zuo Guangdou: "..."

  Gao Panlong: "..."

  The two couldn't help but looked at each other, thinking: "Did Zhao Nanxing play tricks on people like himself?"
