Why did the emperor rebel?

Wang Hong's words really shocked the officials in the palace. After hearing this, everyone cast admiring glances at the old man.

You know, in recent times, the emperor's attitude towards Ke Dao has actually been very obvious.

The role of Ke Dao should be to deal with the lower and not the upper. To put it bluntly, in the eyes of the emperor, the role of Ke Dao officials should focus on monitoring whether civil and military officials are corrupt and illegal, rather than being used all day long. Give pointers to the emperor's family affairs and government orders.

This point is extremely obvious in the secret performance system of the previous Ke Dao reform.

Because of this, after a year of junior high school, the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been very well-behaved. After all, with the lessons learned from the previous few jumps, no one wants to be dismissed just because of a piece of remonstrance Official positions will never be used.

However, there will always be a few stunned youths in the court, such as the one in front of you. You must know that the two things he just said were all pushed by the emperor.

Let’s talk about Dai Wang’s mansion first. Even if you don’t mention the emperor, just Dai Wang is not easy to provoke. At the time when the Dai Wang moved the vassal, there was no one in the court who opposed it. However, all the kings worked together to pass the matter in the court. The Household Department was under pressure to delay the construction of the palace, but in the end, the acting prince personally blocked the door of the Household Department, and it was the emperor who intervened to calm the matter down.

As for Huangzhuang, it is even more involved. On the surface, it is managed by the mine tax eunuch, but the money is paid by the vassal king, and the emperor is behind it. Such a huge force, how can it be said casually by the court? Can you stop after a few sentences?

I didn't see that Yu Qianyu Shaobao, who was deeply trusted, angered the emperor because of this, and even in the end, the more he objected, the emperor asked him to supervise it. It can be seen that this matter is very important in the emperor's heart.

When Wang Hong opened his mouth like this, he directly poked the emperor's sore spot. He really deserved to be the one who dared to fight at the court meeting.

Looking at the emperor's expression, he was obviously a little displeased. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Hong, with a faint hint of danger in his eyes.

"What Wang Qing's family said is reasonable. During this catastrophe, it is indeed inappropriate to carry out large-scale construction projects. However, the matter of replacing the king and moving the vassal is already a matter of decree. If the order is changed from day to day, what is the face of the court?"

The next moment, the Son of Heaven's voice sounded, but it was quite calm. It has to be said that the Son of Heaven in a normal state has always been able to discuss matters with courtiers in a calm manner.

Even if Wang Hong took the opportunity to make trouble so blatantly, the emperor did not get angry after all, but continued to reason.

"As for the construction of the Prince Dai's Mansion, it was indeed costly. However, this matter was agreed by the Ministry of Household Affairs. Last month, the King Dai just sent me a memorial, saying that he had demolished the Prince Dai's Mansion in Datong City. Seven seven eight eight, all the available materials have been transported to Zhangzhou. Next month, he will bring his wife to Beijing to thank him. If the construction of the Dai Wang Mansion is stopped at this moment, where will I go to become another Wang Mansion in a short time? , live in Dai Wang’s family?”

The emperor said these words with a smile, and in his tone, there was obviously a trace of joking, as if he wanted to ease the dull atmosphere in the hall.

However, Wang Hong didn't intend to let it go, so he continued.

"Your Majesty, it is clear that moving the vassal involves a lot of money, and it cannot be done in a day. Besides, I believe that even if the materials of the palace have been demolished, there will be no place for the vassal to live. In times of calamity, the Dai Wang Ye, as the clan, should be a role model for the country."

"What's more, I don't want to stop this matter completely. I just beg Your Majesty to suspend this matter and use the treasury money and food for the people. This is the blessing of all people."

Looking at Wang Hong who was not forgiving, Zhu Qiyu also had a headache.

This is a stubborn person. Moreover, he is different from ordinary censors. Not to mention his reputation in the scholastic circle and the court, but only his position, he is the left deputy capital censor. An official of this level, Participation is no longer included in the restrictions of the last Ke Dao reform.

Therefore, if he really wanted to hold on to such a matter, Zhu Qiyu couldn't force him not to agree. After thinking for a while, his eyes fell on Shen Yi who was beside him.

At this time, someone needs to come out to speak for him, the emperor, looking at Shen Yi who silently lowered his head, Zhu Qiyu said.

"The Ministry of Household Affairs, Wang Hong reported that he wanted to reduce the money and grain, and temporarily stop the construction of the Prince's Mansion. What does Shen Qing think?"

Ah this...

Although he had expected it in his heart, Shen Yi still had a bitter expression when he heard that he was named, what should he say?
The matter of Wang Hong's participation in the performance is actually the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the officials recently.

Don't think that the matter of Huangzhuang is over like this. The emperor can issue a decree to force this matter through, or he can relegate the troubled ministers out of Beijing.

However, it couldn't stop the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the officials, so whenever there was a chance, the officials would immediately make a fuss about this matter.

At this time, if he helps the emperor, he will inevitably be criticized by the officials, but if he does not speak for the emperor, hiss...

However, Shen Yi is an old fox-level figure after all. Today, he is not too close to any side in the court, and it is not only because of the connivance of the emperor.

Facing the gazes of the officials and the emperor, Shen Shangshu pondered for a moment, then spoke.

"Your Majesty, I believe that it is too early to discuss whether to suspend the Dai Palace. Although the disaster is serious, how many victims are there, how much food is needed, and how much needs to be allocated by the treasury? These all need to be verified by the Ministry of Household Affairs Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will definitely handle all the details as soon as possible and submit them to the imperial court."

Since both sides are not easy to offend, then dragging words is naturally the most useful.

In the current situation, Shen Yi can neither say that he can help the emperor with the treasury's money and food, which is enough to support the disaster relief and build the acting prince's mansion, nor can he join forces with Wang Hong to persecute the emperor, so the best way is to practice Tai Chi.

However, dragging words can be used, but how to use it is the most skillful.

Shen Yi's words seemed simple, but in fact, they didn't just delay the time. More importantly, he not only brought up the situation where the specific situation was unknown, but also took the next thing into consideration. Tobe's head.

In this way, if Wang Hong wanted to talk about the Dai Palace, he had to ask the household department for detailed disaster information. In fact, if Shen Yi only said that the treasury had money or no money, Wang Hong would have a position to refute him. However, it was he who took the errands and responsibilities onto himself, so Wang Hong couldn't continue pestering her.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Wang Hong frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but seeing Shen Yi's heavy expression, he had no choice but to swallow the words back.

After such a trouble, Zhu Qiyu didn't have the heart to ask other people if they had any "good strategies". Anyway, these people would only add to the trouble, so he simply stopped talking and announced his withdrawal from the court.

However, the morning court is over, but things will not end like this.

The ministers who were able to stay in the court all dispersed. Shen Shangshu, who had already foreseen his own fate, saw Huai En, who had come late as expected.

"Lord Shen, His Majesty summoned you!"

Sure enough...

Shen Shangshu sighed silently in his heart, and honestly followed Wynn to the Qianqing Palace.

"See Your Majesty!"

Forgive me, Zhu Qiyu changed into casual clothes, looked at the unwilling Shen Yi, but didn't talk nonsense with him, and said directly.

"Shen Qing, what do you think of today's court affairs?"

What can he think of this question?
Shen Yi slandered, but he didn't dare to be negligent on his face, and hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty has learned from you. I feel that the disaster is serious. It is a good thing that all ministers in the court are worried about state affairs and work together."

"Good thing?"

Zhu Qiyu snorted and said.

"I don't see it..."

While talking, Zhu Qiyu sighed, looked at Shen Yi and said.

"Others don't know what the regulations of Huangzhuang are, but Shen Qing, you always know. Uncle Dai Wang will enter Beijing next month."

"He came to Beijing this time not only to express gratitude and to supervise the construction of the Daiwang Mansion, but more importantly, to report the progress of the Huangzhuang to the uncle of the Daizhou King and other relatives. What would Uncle Dai Wang think about this matter? Clansmen, what would they think?"

"At that time, the vassal kings from all over the country will make trouble again, and your household department may be able to resist it?"

After asking this question, Shen Yi fell into silence.

Indeed, the matter of Huangzhuang is not as simple as what the officials see now. At the beginning, the king blocked the door of the household department. But he had other reasons.

That is, when the military mansion was being rectified, the royal mansion took the initiative to pay off the land to the imperial court. According to the original imperial decree, these lands should be compensated.

But the imperial court has such a big plate, how can he get the money and food to pay for it in a short time? When I said it at the beginning, I didn't expect the emperor's wrist to be so extraordinary. Packed up.

Therefore, Dai Wang actually came to ask for money, and in the end, the solution to this matter was actually Huangzhuang.

The imperial court allowed the vassal princes to join in the management of Huangzhuang and get profits from it, so as to compensate for the money and food that the imperial court should allocate in the military settlements.

In this matter, although the vassal king lost the ownership of the field, he no longer has to worry about the court's settlement after autumn. Although the land rent is a little less than before, if the income of Huangzhuang can meet the expectation, it will not be much worse. , and more importantly, it is possible to obtain part of the local power, which is very important for the vassal king who has been imprisoned for a long time.

As far as the Ministry of Households is concerned, these acres of land were originally hidden and could not provide any tax source for the court. Although it is in the form of Huangzhuang, it is still in the charge of the vassal king, but Huangzhuang belongs to the dual jurisdiction of the local government and the Ministry of Household Affairs. It not only got rid of the large amount of redemption silver, but also guaranteed the tax source of these fields.

From this point of view, this is actually a win-win thing. Of course, the degree of illegality is certain, but in order to save such a large sum of money and get rid of the trouble of the military station as soon as possible, Shen Yi can only accept it. up.

But now, if someone makes a fuss about this matter again, it will give Shen Yi a headache.

The meaning of the emperor is very obvious. If the court has been discussing and making troubles about this matter, then when the vassal kings make trouble, the final pressure will still come to the Ministry of Households.

To put it bluntly, if Huangzhuang can't do it, then give me money!
What?No money?Return the fields without money!

After seeing Dai Wang's Da Ma Jin Dao block the door of the household department, Shen Yi knew very well that these vassal kings were extremely courageous, and if they were really provoked, they could do anything.

That Wang Hong, although a bit stunned, had to say that what he said was somewhat reasonable.

The household department is not rich now, er, it should be said that the household department has never been rich. Although the specific amount of money for disaster relief has not been released yet, judging from the situation of this disaster, it must not be less.

At this time, if the vassal prince started to fight again and aimed his finger at the household department, his life would not be summed up in two words: sad.

"Well, Your Majesty, as you know, the Ministry of Households is indeed in short supply of money and grain. On the side of the Prince's Mansion, can you..."

Right now it's not upwards, so Shen Yi doesn't have to worry too much about the influence, he hesitated for a moment, and asked cautiously.

In the final analysis, Shen Shangshu is not so easy to be deceived. It is indeed a headache for the vassal king to make trouble, but it is also worth the score.

If there was no emperor's acquiescence in the matter of the original king blocking the door, I am afraid I would not have dared to do it if I borrowed his courage.

So, don't look at what the emperor said was so serious, but in Shen Yi's view, with the emperor's means, if he wanted to suppress these feudal lords, there was definitely a way.

In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Shen Yi also felt that the construction of Daiwang Mansion could be postponed, but...

"Not only can the Daiwang Mansion not be stopped, but it must be repaired as soon as possible!"

Facing Shen Yi's expectation, Zhu Qiyu shook his head ruthlessly.

Replacing the king and moving the vassal is not only a matter of the clan, but more importantly, it is a task to go to Zhangzhou Mansion on behalf of the king.

Of course he knew that under the natural disaster, the household department's money and food were tight, but the tighter it was, the more he could not delay the transfer of the domain, otherwise, it would be indefinitely.

Therefore, he can only make things difficult for the household department...

Seeing this situation, Shen Yi couldn't help sighing, as expected, although he didn't know why the Son of Heaven favored Dai Wang so much, but in the matter of moving the domain, the Son of Heaven's determination should have been expected long ago.

"but……"

Seeing Shen Yi's dejected look, Zhu Qiyu was a little helpless, and his tone was still relaxed after all, said.

"Although the construction cannot be stopped or postponed, the ceremonial system of the Dai Wang Mansion can be reduced. You can discuss this matter with Uncle Dai Wang when he arrives in the capital. However, I still say that, The disaster must be dealt with properly, and the Daiwang Mansion cannot delay, understand?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Shen Yi nodded helplessly, he was not happy with the 'favor' given by the emperor, on the contrary, he knew very well that this radish was not so tasty.

The meaning of the emperor's words was clearly that the Ministry of Household Affairs should be asked to settle the matter of acting as the king's mansion. This time, the court has temporarily suppressed the gang of censors, but they will definitely bring up the matter again before long.

Judging by today's appearance, there are nine out of ten chances that he is going to get rid of these people, but the problem is, how can he deal with this gang of censors...
