Why did the emperor rebel?

The same problem also appeared in the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne, Wynn stood below, and told everything about his actions in the ten palaces.

"...It is said that after the slaves left, the Prince Dai went to the Min Palace. As for what they talked about, I don't know..."

Seeing Wynn's respectful look, Zhu Qiyu smiled and asked.

"Are you wondering why I asked you to spread the word, but didn't let you say it was what I meant?"

"Slaves dare not speculate on the holy will!"

Wynn lowered his head and said.

However, Zhu Qiyu didn't care, and said.

"If I really want to intervene in this matter, it's not that I can't do it. However, I can't have to do everything. It is said that the Ming clan is domineering. Then this time, it might as well be domineering once..."

After all, without waiting for Wynn's reaction, he continued to ask.

"Is Mr. Jian Zhai here?"

Wynn was standing at the bottom, thinking about the meaning of this sentence, when he heard the question suddenly, he answered immediately.

"Going back to the emperor, I have already sent someone to call, I am afraid it is a temporary call, so it will take some time, and the servants will go to remind you..."

So Zhu Qiyu nodded, and Wynn retreated.

…………

Another few days passed, and on this day, it was early morning, and the sun had already risen high.

Shen Shangshu first went back to the mansion for breakfast, and then, as always, walked to the Household Yamen in a car, but what he didn't expect was that the Household Yamen, which should have started to handle official business in an orderly manner, seemed a little chaotic at the moment noisy.

From a distance, Shen Shangshu saw a circle of officials outside the yamen of the household department, constantly looking in. Among them, most of them were officials from the yamen of the household department, and many of them were obviously watching. It was lively, but they were all blocked outside, and no one went in. Moreover, they were all crowded together, very noisy, and they didn't know what they were talking about.

In the majestic household department yamen, Shen Yi couldn't help but frown in such a situation.

"What happened, what are you doing here?"

He walked two steps forward in a hurry and came to the periphery of the crowd. Shen Shangshu's face darkened, and he asked the officials who surrounded the yamen of the household department.

So, everyone turned around, bowed their hands and saluted one after another, saying.

"I have seen Master Shangshu."

At the same time, the crowd consciously gave way to a way out. Meng Jian, the household servant who had always been slow because of his age, walked out quickly at this moment. Seeing Shen Yi's figure, it was as if he had seen a savior. , hastily bowed his hands and saluted, then took two steps forward and said.

"Master Shangshu, you have come, look..."

While talking, Meng Jian pointed to the Hubu lobby inside through the crowd. Shen Yi looked in the direction he pointed, but saw that outside the originally spacious Hubu lobby, at some point, there was a large Sit on the couch.

Sitting on the couch, a middle-aged man in a royal robe with python pattern was leaning on the couch, with several maids serving beside him. The fruit plate and teapot were complete. At this moment, another servant of the household department, Liu Nakashiki was standing aside, not knowing what to persuade.

On behalf of the king?

Shen Yi frowned, and said badly in his heart.

However, seeing this scene, he finally understood why everyone was blocked outside this door.

Because, in addition to the large couch, around the Daiwang, apart from the maids serving, there are also entourages and guards holding red Luoqu cover embroidered umbrellas and holding various ceremonial guards. Behind Dai Wang, the entire hall was blocked to the brim, and the access roads were also tightly blocked.

"What's the matter?"

One must know that the offices of the six ministries are not far apart. When he just came here, he had already noticed that there were people watching from the next door.

At that time, he didn't know what was going on, but seeing the situation now, and feeling the gazes from all directions, Shen Shangshu only felt that how many people were watching the joke of the household department, so he asked Meng Jian with a calm face .

Hearing the anger of the Master Shangshu, Meng Jian couldn't help shrinking back and said.

"My lord, it's not long since I arrived. According to the officials who came earlier, this generation of princes blocked the entrance of the household department with people early in the morning, and said that he came... come... ..."

"What are you doing?"

Seeing a lot of shadowy figures behind the various yamen, Shen Yi became more and more unable to hold back his face. Hearing Meng Jian's hesitant tone, he felt a little irritable in his heart, and lightly reprimanded him.

"What are you doing, you can't just be stuck here like this, you didn't see what it looks like with so many people around here!"

Hearing this, Meng Jian also had a wry smile on his face.

He also just got off the morning court, and went to the office after eating, and saw this scene.

In terms of time, he didn't come much earlier, but he couldn't help it. He could only suffer if the official was crushed to death, and Lord Shangshu was angry.

Seeing that many people's eyes began to look here, Meng Jian lowered his voice, and for some reason, his old face was a little red, and said.

"My lord, on behalf of the prince, he came to ask the Ministry of Accounts for debt!"

???

Shen Yi's eyes widened with disbelief.

What the hell?
Need debt?
Is it so blatant to steal money these days?

They even snatched Tangtang Hubu's head?
Even if it is a feudal king, it is too much!

Looking at Dai Wang leisurely leaning on the couch in the distance, Shen Yi gritted his teeth and asked.

"Is it because of the move to Zhangzhou?"

"Because the household department said in the court hall that the treasury has no money and cannot build a new palace, so come here on behalf of the prince to 'collect debts'?"

Although the words were questions, the tone was very firm.

As we all know, Dai Wang has always wanted to move the domain to the mainland. Now, the emperor finally let go, but he was stopped by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry in the court. It is certain that Dai Wang is dissatisfied.

However, Shen Yi never imagined that this generation of kings would be so courageous that they would dare to blatantly block outside the household department.

Still in debt?
What a ghost, the imperial decree to transfer the vassal has not been issued, and the Ministry of Households has not promised to allocate money to build the palace. Where did the debt come from?
After that, he raised his footsteps, and wanted to go forward to find Dai Wang's theory.

However, before he could move, Meng Jian on the side tugged at the corner of his clothes, stopped him, frowned and looked at Meng Jian, only to see that the latter looked hesitant, and lowered his voice a little more, and said.

"My lord, I misunderstood you. I came here on behalf of the prince, not for the purpose of transferring the feudal domain."

"You have forgotten that His Majesty had a decree at the beginning. For those who took the initiative to report the private cultivation of land and the occupation of military settlements, the Dai Wangye took the initiative to play at that time, and put a total of more than [-] hectares under the names of several vassal kings from the Dai Wangfu and the Dai Fan series. The land shall be returned to the court."

"However, the imperial court has never fulfilled its original promise. Up to now, less than one-third of the silver taels used to redeem the land of the royal residence..."

Although the voice of these words was very low, there were many officials around, not too far away, so some people still heard the specific content.

Of course, maybe I didn't hear it, but this doesn't hinder the embarrassment on Shen Shangshu's face...

Touching his nose, Shen Shangshu looked around, regretting that he was too ostentatious just now, this Meng Jian is also true, I don't know if I said it earlier.

So, the Minister of the Household Department began to think seriously, if he finds a reason to leave at this time, will it be too embarrassing...

Naturally, Meng Jian didn't know that the Master Shangshu in front of him was thinking of running away, and finally got the words out, so he hurriedly asked.

"My lord, the current situation requires you to come forward in person, otherwise, this generation of princes will always be blocked in, and the people below can't get in or get out. It's not a problem at all..."

"Uh, Meng Shilang, I just remembered that the Ministry of War sent a message yesterday, saying that the account books at the military station are a little unclear, and I need to go over and check it. You take care of it here first, and I will go to the Ministry of War to deal with it." and come back."

After some ideological struggle, Shen Shangshu finally decided to run away.

It is indeed embarrassing for the household department to be blocked by people. However, there are too many times of embarrassment. It was the person who asked him for money and food. If he hadn't been very vigilant, he would have gone to the palace to rely on him when he had nothing to do, and he would have been annoyed to death by the officials of various ministries who came to 'collect debts'.

This generation of princes made it clear that they came to make trouble, no matter what he said, but Shen Yi knew well that the root cause was the transfer of the domain.

If he goes in, he can't get out.

If you are ashamed, you will be ashamed, and he still doesn't believe it. Dai Wang can come to block him every day. If that's the case, it will be easier.

No matter so much, let's get through today first...

Therefore, after finishing speaking, Shen Shangshu left Meng Jian with a stunned expression on his face, and he raised his leg and was about to run away.

"Where is Shen Shangshu planning to go? Aren't you going to the Yamen?"

However, at this moment, a voice came from in front of him.

Shen Yi looked up, but found that Dai Wang had already stood in front of him at some point, and then looked at Liu Zhongfu who was standing next to Dai Wang, who was greatly relieved to see him, how could Shen Shangshu not understand? What kind of situation is this? He cursed inwardly at the two indifferent things, but he had to force a smile on his face and said.

"I have seen the king."

"This early in the morning, the prince came to the household department, but the minister failed to meet him in time, please forgive me."

When things got to this point, it was impossible to run away. After glancing at the officials around him, Shen Yi took a step forward and said.

"My lord, you see that the household department is busy with official duties, so many officials are stuck here, and things are delayed, or you let the guard of honor wait outside, and the minister will accompany you in to talk, what's the matter, Let's discuss it..."

Since running is impossible, try to save people from being lost.

But obviously, Dai Wang didn't intend to give him this face, looking at the Hubu Shangshu who was smiling all over his face, he said with a joking smile on his face.

"It's nothing serious, just a few words, and I'll leave after I've finished speaking. It won't delay Shen Shangshu's handling of official duties."

"My lord, you..."

With a bitter expression on his face, Shen Yi wanted to speak, but he was interrupted by Dai Wang after only a few words.

"The king came here today to ask Shen Shangshu, when the court promised to redeem the farmland and silver taels that I returned to the court on behalf of the palace, when will it be paid?"

The voice of these words was not low, so almost all the officials present heard them clearly.

As a result, there was a burst of low-key discussions, no wonder Dai Wang was so confident and dared to block the door of the household department openly.

Still the same sentence, when the king took the initiative to declare private land to the imperial court, he set an example among the clans. Later, the imperial court's big policy of rectifying the military settlements was able to be implemented smoothly, part of the reason came from this.

Especially for the other vassal kings, if they insisted that they were innocent, or used hundreds of acres of land to fool things, it would be unjustifiable.

From this standpoint, this matter is a favor owed by the court to the king.

So now, on behalf of the king, come to ask for this favor!
Sensing all kinds of gazes and discussions from around, Shen Yi's old face turned red, and said.

"My lord, this matter is very complicated. You see, why don't we go in and explain it in detail?"

"It's nothing complicated. The imperial court has its own regulations, and everything is done according to the regulations. Or, is the Ministry of Households trying to resist the order?"

Dai Wang obviously didn't buy it, he looked leisurely, but his tone was aggressive.

The household department has no money right now, and he knows that.

Of course, the Ministry of Household Affairs always says that they have no money, but whether or not they have any actually depends on the specific situation.

But at least, if you have to take out so much silver for redemption at once, you will definitely not be able to take it out.

He came here this time because he was sure, Shen Yi did not dare to give an answer blatantly in front of so many people.

You know, a Daiwang Mansion is nothing, but apart from the Daiwang Mansion, there are other honorable families, as well as the land that some early vassal kings and clans voluntarily reported to avoid disasters. The collection of these is a huge sum.

The plan of the Ministry of Household Affairs, in fact, is to put it bluntly, it is to eat the grain for free, first to take the land into the hands of the court, as for the silver taels for the redemption, it will be owed first, and it will be paid off step by step in a few years and by the mansion, or it will be forfeited.

This kind of method is actually to take advantage of the fact that no one dares to fight face-to-face with the Ministry of Finance, but now, Dai Wang came to him and asked for the money straightforwardly. To Shen Yi, it was actually only vague of fooling around this way.

Otherwise, if it is given, then the rest of the mansion will follow suit, and there is no way to explain it.

But if he said no, and the acting king made it clear that he was going to cause trouble, in his capacity, Shen Yi had no way to force him, so he just said that he was the acting king and came to ask for it in person, and his household department insisted that he had no money or no Giving is almost the same as reneging on debt.

At that time, all the mansions will come to the door to ask for an explanation. No matter which way it is, the Ministry of Household Affairs cannot afford it.

Therefore, I can only try to fool the past.

But the problem is that the current Dai Wang obviously intends to ask for an explanation, seeing Shen Yi's hesitant look, Dai Wang took out a stack of letters from his sleeve, shook them in front of everyone, and said.

"Since you are all here, no matter how high or low your official position is, you will all be witnesses to this king. My king's visit today is not to embarrass the Ministry of Household Affairs, let alone to make trouble for no reason. It is the imperial court's decree."

"We and the clans of the vassal kings have returned the land under our name to the imperial court with the intention. It is only the generation of the vassals. Now there are many county kings. The clans wrote to ask this king about this matter. What's more, because they donated the land Already without food and clothing."

"This king knows that this matter is complicated and involves many things, and the household department needs time to sort it out. Therefore, this king didn't expect Shen Shangshu to take out the redeemed silver taels today, but there must be a day, right? One month, or Three months, otherwise, next year or the year after?"

"Since we are doing our best for the imperial court, if the Ministry of Household Affairs drags it on for no reason, it will chill the heart of the court's loyal officials!"
