Chapter 1300 It was not what I expected

There are three fires for a new official to take office. It has been said in all dynasties. Although Gao pragmatism occasionally appears to be maverick in reform, he is still relatively "following the trend" in these traditions. Therefore, he, as a big secretary, of course has three problems. Burn the fire.

Originally, Gao pragmatic had many flaws in Daming's financial system and wanted to spit it out quickly, but he also knew that he couldn't make a fat man with one bite. die.

To reform such a thing, it is of course necessary to build a high-level building, but when it is really practical, it has to be done steadily, and it is appropriate to take one step at a time.Therefore, three fires need to be burned, but you can't expect to raise the fire to stir up the sky. Sooner or later, a single spark can start a prairie fire. The real key problem is that this spark can be preserved.

There are many people who care about his three fires. In addition to the officials outside the palace, the people in the palace are also concerned, such as the young [-]-year-old Zun, the current sage Wanli Emperor Zhu Yijun.

However, Zhu Yijun is not staying in Qianqing Palace today, but in Yikun Palace.

Yikun Palace is located in the north of Yongshou Palace, the south of Chuxiu Palace, and the east of Changchun Palace.The east and west [-] palaces of the Ming Dynasty are respected in the east, close to the central axis, and close to the Qianqing Palace. Therefore, the Yikun Palace is a rather noble palace in the harem other than the Kunning Palace where the queen lives.

The interpretation of "Yi" is assistant. Since the queen's bedroom is the Kunning Palace, Yikun means assisting the queen in managing the six palaces.

Probably because of this, the owner of the Yikun Palace is the imperial concubine Zheng, the mother of the third son of the emperor, Zhu Changxun.

In addition, Yikun Palace is next to the Changchun Palace where Princess Yongning lives. There is no purpose in this. The owners of the two palaces understand it, but it seems that the two sides do not have much intersection because of this.

Zhu Yijun stayed in the Yikun Palace tonight as most of the time, and the imperial concubine Zheng was waiting by the side as usual.

At this time, the emperor was looking at a picture album. The picture album was bought by Zheng Huanggui's family from outside and presented to her. She felt it was novel and presented it to the emperor again.

This album is an imported product, and it is said that it belongs to the Westerners, but it is not a figure painting, but a still life.Zhu Yijun watched it for a while, and only felt that the painting skills were different from those of Daming, but he didn't feel that there was any special benefit, and he couldn't help but lack interest.

When the imperial concubine Zheng saw this, there was a charming snicker on her face, and she whispered something in the emperor's ear, causing Zhu Yijun to be surprised: "There's... er, that kind of picture?"

Concubine Zheng pursed her lips and snickered, as if she turned her head shyly, but she still replied: "Why not? All the Western paintings of Daming were obtained by his fleet, and there are also rumors in the market. I also saved my relatives the year before last. I only found out after hearing it from my sister-in-law in private. You think, Your Majesty, since he got all the paintings, how could he not have them himself?"

Zhu Yijun was stunned at first, but immediately shook his head and said: "No, his fleet sells these things, it doesn't mean he has them himself, I think he shouldn't be very interested in these things."

Zheng Huanggui said in surprise: "The emperor is so sure?"

"I've been to his house—oh, I mean Baiyulou." Zhu Yijun shook his head and said, "Some people outside say that Baiyulou is similar to Lutai, but it's actually just a stone house. Although the decoration inside is exquisite, it doesn't look like much. What about a group of dancing girls. As for some people saying that there are a lot of LUO statues in it, I have also seen them, and they are all statues of little boys with wings on their backs. It is strange, but there is absolutely no filth.

Concubine Zheng pouted slightly: "The emperor can trust him, how do you know that he didn't hide some people because the emperor was gone."

Zhu Yijun frowned immediately, his relaxed expression became stern, he turned to look at Concubine Zheng, and said slightly sullenly: "The important minister of the pavilion, how can the harem be criticized?"

He threw the picture album in front of Concubine Zheng, and slammed it on the table in front of her. He didn't even look at it anymore, but turned to the one next to him, inlaid with tin snails, agate, jade and Han jade. On the red sandalwood coffee table of Yuxi Cailiantu, he took a jasper cup, took a sip of hot tea, and sighed softly.

The atmosphere changed so fast that the entire Yikun Palace, from Concubine Zheng to the maids and eunuchs, began to feel nervous, and they didn't even dare to come out.

Concubine Zheng was also a little flustered in her heart, but she knew that the reason why she was favored was that she did not follow the emperor in everything like other concubines, so she would not apologize immediately if she had minor mistakes, or if she did other things. Concubines usually say something like "the sin of the minister and concubine deserves ten thousand death".

Generally speaking, the emperor didn't mind, even if he was a little angry at the time, he would give up after a while.But today's situation seems to be a little wrong. The emperor turned his head and ignored her for a while. The whole Yikun Palace was quiet. This atmosphere even reminded her of when she sneaked into her own ancestral hall as a child, and the eerie and terrifying inside of the ancestral hall .

In the Ming Dynasty, the harem was very strict, not to mention that she was a concubine or a queen, and it was strictly forbidden to intervene in state affairs.However, this rule was not particularly effective for Concubine Zheng before. The emperor could always open his eyes quickly, but this time, the emperor seemed to be really angry.

At this time, Concubine Zheng remembered the warning her family had once warned her that Gao Wushi had an extraordinary position in the emperor's mind, perhaps even more important than King Lu.

Zheng Huanggui originally wanted to continue the cold war with the emperor, but suddenly, Zhu Yijun gave a cold "hum" and stood up to leave.

"Your Majesty!" At this moment, Concubine Zheng realized that it was broken, and hurriedly stepped forward as usual to grab his sleeve, and said aggrievedly: "I know it's wrong."

After all, the emperor really loves this unique woman in front of him. Hearing this, he took a deep breath and forcefully said: "The laws of the country are no joke. The ancestors' rules have been 200 years old, and even I have to follow them, let alone the harem? High pragmatism is my child When I read it with you, you have a good character and you are the best in the world, I know it very well!"

He was pretending to be stern at first, but when he said it, especially after talking about Gao pragmatism, he was actually angry again, and his tone was like a thunderous thunder, as if the dark clouds were pressing down when the rainstorm was about to come. The city is about to be destroyed.

The eunuchs in the palace hall were so frightened by the emperor's roar that they trembled all over, and many of them even subconsciously "thumped" and knelt on the ground.

Concubine Zheng Huanggui was about to cry, her eyes were red, and tears were swirling in her eyes.But the emperor may have mentioned Gao pragmatic this time, "I was my companion when I was young, and I have a good character, and I am the best in the world. I know it very well." After thinking about the friendship over the years, it seems that the real fire has really moved, and it is still cold. Staring into the eyes of Concubine Zheng.

At this moment, Concubine Zheng suddenly became really scared. She saw something indescribable in the eyes of the emperor.It was an indescribable feeling, but she clearly found that in the emperor's mind, even she was not as important as being pragmatic.

What she saw in the emperor's eyes was not only friendship, but also a unique kind of trust, a kind of trust that could entrust everything with confidence, without any other reasons.

Concubine Zheng suddenly felt a little regretful and felt that she should not listen to some people's words to test the emperor's views on Gao pragmatism.

What a foolish test!In the eyes of the emperor, Gao Wuzhen was simply Confucius alive, perfect!
Damn it, damn it!
Concubine Zheng didn't even know who she was referring to with the sentence in her heart, whether it was high and pragmatic, or the person who instigated her to tempt her.

"Your Majesty, your concubine doesn't dare any more, so you can calm down." Concubine Zheng's tears fell, rustling like broken pearls, with a face that was like a pear flower with rain, which was pitiful.

The coldness in the emperor's eyes dissipated for the most part, but for some unknown reason, he just nodded and said, "I will wait and see."

Then he turned his head slightly and said to Chen Ju, "Go to Qianqing... Kunning Palace."

Concubine Zheng's hand that was holding his sleeve loosened as if she had suddenly lost her strength, and allowed the emperor to leave. She no longer had the energy and confidence she had in the past, so she could step forward and pull him back with a beautiful smile.

No one dared to persuade him, even Chen Ju carefully bowed his body to lead the way ahead, wishing that every step would be silent, so as not to attract the attention of the emperor.

But the emperor had just walked out of the main hall a few steps before he couldn't help but ask: "Chen Ju, is Qiuzhen in Zhaohui Jinggongfang or Baiyulou tonight?"

Chen Ju hurriedly stopped and turned around, bowed and replied, "Back to the emperor, it's in Jinggongfang, Zhaohui."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said to himself: "Yes, he will officially take up his new post tomorrow, and he has to go to the Ministry of Household Dianmao earlier than usual. If he goes to Baiyulou tonight, it will be a bit far."

Chen Ju said, "Yes, the emperor is very accurate."

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath, waved his hand, and said with some annoyance: "You said, will Qiuzhen annoy me?"

Chen Ju said cautiously, "As for tonight's matter, the slaves and maids will go and warn me in a while. There will be no words or phrases leaked out, and the Dasinong will definitely not know about it."

"I didn't say that!" Zhu Yijun suddenly got a little angry, and even stomped his feet, and said sullenly: "I seem to have been tricked, this fellow Shi Xing is not the one who seeks truth from them, if he creates some demon moth, you Would you really think that I did this on purpose? Would he…”

Chen Ju hurriedly said, "Your Majesty!"

Zhu Yijun didn't continue speaking, but just let out a rough breath.

Chen Ju swallowed, and seemed to feel a little uncomfortable in his throat, so he quietly cleared his throat, and then lowered his voice: "Your Majesty, you also said that Da Si Nong's character is the best in the world. Even if something did happen, he would definitely be able to see through the tricks behind it. There is nothing to hide, how could he take his anger on the emperor?

Besides, thunder, thunder, rain and dew are all the kindness of the king, and with the loyalty of Da Si Nong, how can you hold any resentment for this?Does the emperor still remember that year when Dasinong was appointed to Guangxi as a foreigner?How many people in the world think that Da Si Nong is going to become the second Yang Sheng'an.

But how did Da Shi Nong do it?In Guangxi, he not only managed the local area on behalf of Zhang Ren, and solved the problem of the chieftain, but also helped the court to recover Annan, and even did a good job in the matter of wealth.The slaves heard that Guangxi's taxation last year had reached [-]% of Guangdong, especially the business tax, which even surpassed that of Guangdong!

To be honest with the emperor, when the slave-maid heard the news, her jaw dropped!Guangdong is so rich, how can this business tax be overtaken by Guangxi? "

After hearing these words, Zhu Yijun felt a lot better, nodded and said: "Yes, it is said that it is mainly due to the sugar tax and wood tax... Oh, by the way, I also paid a lot of money to be honest, it seems that I have paid a lot. What kind of vehicle and boat tax did he pay more than 5 taels?"

"Yes, yes, the emperor's memory is really good, it's the vehicle and vessel tax." Chen Ju sighed: "It's interesting to say, this tax didn't exist before, and it was proposed by the big minister at the time.

In fact, in Guangxi, apart from Jinghua, how many other people can meet the standard of paying vehicle and boat tax?He set the tax almost for himself.The servant girl also read a few history books in the upper study room in the past, and I really couldn't find anyone who did it after searching through the 24 histories. "

"Yes, yes." Zhu Yijun sighed: "Heaven seeks the truth to assist me. In the past, the emperor tested his wisdom and discernment, and left me with simplicity. If I don't cherish it, will God not punish me?"

Before Chen Ju could answer, he continued: "But I was so angry just now that I didn't have time to think about it. Now that I think about it, Concubine Zheng's actions today are very unusual..."

Chen Ju also felt that Zheng Huanggui's actions today were not right, but still pretended to be surprised and said "ah".

Youdao is like a tiger with a king. As a person by the emperor's side, you can't listen to this kind of words without responding, and you can't pick up on it indiscriminately, and Chen Ju is obviously a mid-level expert, and only used a surprised "Ah" "The word, then firmly grasped the words.

Sure enough, the emperor followed these words and analyzed it, squinting his eyes slightly and said: "Zheng Fei knows the relationship between me and Qiuzhen, even if I mentioned Qiuzhen in the past, I only congratulate me for having such a minister to assist me, it is really a Sheji Blessings. Why did I suddenly change my temper today, and actually imply that Qiuzhen will do it in secret and secretly? If someone taught her this, or someone encouraged her...

Huh, that's great!Some people in the courtroom are seeking truth, and some people in the palace actually stretch out their black hands.I see, I am afraid that some people are worried that Qiuzhen is in charge of the household, and that the three fires of the magistrate will burn them on their heads, so they can't hold back and jump out one after another. "

Chen Ju breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, but his face was extremely serious, and he nodded again and again: "Emperor Shengming Zhuzhao, why didn't this servant think of it!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but criticize him, saying, "You too, what does Dongchang do for food, you can only inquire about such an important matter? Go on, what's the big deal? It's nothing more than the Beijing camp. You have sent more than [-] people to monitor. What are you monitoring? Such a large group of people visit openly, how can it be a conspiracy?
On the contrary, the things that should have been found out earlier have been dragging on, and it has been more than half a month and still can't find out the details!I ask you, when did Shi Xing form a tacit understanding with...?Did they meet privately?Or some Chinese? "

Chen Ju hurriedly knelt on the ground and quickly replied: "The slave maid is guilty of death, the slave maid is guilty of death. However, Dongchang and Jinyiwei have already found out a little, please give the slave a little more time to continue the investigation, and the truth will be found out."

Zhu Yijun took a deep breath and said, "What is found now, say it."

Chen Ju said: "Because Dongchang and Jinyiwei have never dared to monitor auxiliary ministers, they can only make a detour and check through some small people such as sects..."

"I'm asking about the result, not the process."

"Yes, yes." Chen Ju said: "Back to the emperor, there should be no private meeting. There must be a middle person among them. Although it is not clear, all clues point to the palace."

Zhu Yijun's pupils shrank slightly, and he said coldly, "Hmph, it was not what I expected."
