Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 462 The Way of Survival
For the time being, it seems that there are indeed no big shots in the court standing up, just some "little fish and shrimps" expressing their opinions.

Naturally, there are some people who support the policy of distributing the land to the mu, and of course many people are against it.Everyone's opinions are different. Apart from the recognition of the two tax laws, or some concerns about sharing the income, many of them are due to their respective positions.

Zhu Yunying, who sat high on the dragon chair, was very patient. He naturally understood the truth of fishing for big fish with a long line.What's more, it's just warming up now, and I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and the next big things are out-and-out.

Many people actually understand that some people nowadays are not considered important roles, and some of their views are certainly nothing.

Finally, a big man stepped forward, and Chen Di, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the country has been established for more than [-] years. Most of the officials and common people are familiar with the legal system of the two taxes. Now that the tax system is changed, I am afraid that it will disturb the people." .”

"Stop farming when you hear the cricket cricket?" Zhu Yunying said directly, "Since you know that the law of the two taxes has many disadvantages, or the policy of the country and the government is not enough, then simply don't want anything from the court to the court. Do it. If there is a change, it will disturb the people. Is this the truth? The Ministry of Rites is working in accordance with the old system? Do not change the rules of a hundred years ago, disturb the people!"

Chen Di immediately knelt down. Apart from pleading guilty, what else could he say?

The irony in and out of the emperor's words is too obvious, basically undisguised.What's more, as the new minister of the Ministry of Rites, the emperor is directly criticizing the Ministry of Rites, and the meaning of this beating is naturally more obvious.

Old Zhu, who was listening to politics behind the curtain, hugged little Zhu, and said, "Don't imitate your father, you are already an emperor, and sometimes you don't have the air to speak. We used to be monks, beggars, and hang out in the army. , let’s talk a little vulgarly. Look at your father, he grew up in the palace, so he doesn’t have the air of an emperor and the majesty of the heavenly family!”

Little Zhu leaned in the old Zhu's arms and said, "Let's not talk about my palace, and we are not alone. Others call us dignified, and we have dignified outside, but not at home. If people are afraid of us, we are the prince. "

Although little Zhu's words seemed a bit confusing, but Lao Zhu understood what little Zhu meant and was very happy.

"It's reasonable for Yin'er to say so." Old Zhu was very happy, and he was very satisfied with Xiao Zhu's knowledge, "We are the Supreme Emperor, your grandfather is also the emperor, and your father is the current emperor. Our Yin'er is the prince. What I respect and fear is that we are all emperors. If you are vulgar, you will be vulgar, and we are Huaixi commoners."

'We', 'I', 'Wu', 'I' and so on, these are the emperors, princes or grandsons of the Ming Dynasty who often called themselves.Even in the imperial decree, there are some titles like this.Sometimes it seems that there is no 'Tianjia' majesty, but all these seem to be not so important.

Zhu Yunying, who was sitting on the dragon chair, continued, "The old system should be changed. If you think about it, you will understand that the old things may not be suitable for today. Where did the two tax laws come from? Inheritance. Naturally, there are some shortcomings in the current tax law, and it will be changed, so don’t give up because of choking.”

This is Zhu Yunying's true thoughts, which can also be regarded as Zhu Yunying's true feelings.

Zhu Yunying never cared about the so-called law of all ages. He never thought that there is any policy that can be implemented all the time.If you don't change at all, then obviously it won't work, and you need to keep pace with the times.

Looking at Chen Di and Ru Yu, Zhu Yunying said pointedly, "The imperial court does not just raise some wine bags and rice bags. I think all the lovers know the truth about the loyalty to the emperor. Those who lead the court Salary, you must do things in a down-to-earth manner. If you don’t move because of policy changes, you might as well quit your job and go home to have a leisurely life.”

These words now seem to be getting harsher, and the emperor seems to be really angry.

At this time, Chen Di knelt down and pleaded guilty. He had just become Minister of the Ministry of Rites not long ago, and now he had reached a peak in his official career.He doesn't even think about becoming an official now, he still thinks about glorifying his ancestors and displaying his ambitions.

Of course, Chen Di also understands, don't look at what the emperor said now seems to be more serious.In fact, everyone understands that the emperor is just talking about these things now.Maybe the emperor will be cautious, but because such a thing is to turn over old scores, that's not necessarily the case.

Unless it is when Chen Di commits a serious crime, the emperor will really settle the score after autumn
Just let Chen Di continue to kneel like this, Zhu Yunying can be regarded as a relatively generous person.But sometimes, he is still very cautious.What's more, at such a moment, it is necessary to make Chen Di kneel, which can be regarded as 'killing chickens to warn monkeys'.

At this time, Yu Xin stood up and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to spread the land, you must survey the land."

Zhu Yunying glanced at Yu Xin, and said directly, "Aiqing was given the name by the Supreme Emperor. After becoming a Jinshi, he was awarded the head of the household branch, and then he was promoted to the right servant of the household department. **** I told me that he once When I asked you about the data of household registration and land tax in the world, as well as the geographical dangers and dangers, Aiqing answered them all."

Yu Xin bowed to the end at this time, which seemed to be more disciplined.

Zhu Yunying continued, "A few years ago, the royal family was treated too much, and Aiqing also advised to cut four-fifths of the prince's salary. Aiqing also participated in the formulation of the amount of Lumi for the clan below the county king. I remember opening the Chinese law, Aiqing also participated in the formulation. Is this the reason?"

The meaning of the emperor seems to be very obvious, which is to ask Yu Xin to simply shut up.

Looking through these resumes of Yu Xin, it is obvious that he is telling Yu Xin that he is a courtier of the Zhu family, and that being able to occupy a high position is the appreciation of two generations of emperors.So at this time, don't forget Jun En, don't talk too much at this time.

At this time, Yu Xin naturally knelt down obediently. If he said anything more now, it would be really 'disloyal and unfilial', and he would be living up to the emperor's grace.After all, it was a blessing from heaven that he was given a name and promoted by the Supreme Emperor.

As for being in the Yingshi Dynasty now, he also has the reliance of the Emperor Yingshi, and it is better to follow in the emperor's footsteps.

Regarding the emperor's rogue behavior, some ministers were obviously uncomfortable at this time.The emperor is being unreasonable. This is directly suppressing people with power, directly blocking the opportunity for some people to speak.

Yu Xin's situation is obviously not just one person.To be able to stand in the court, in addition to their personal talents, the opportunity given by the emperor is also extremely important.All in all, it's all thanks to the emperor's favor!

If I speak again now, each one of them will become evidence of 'disloyalty'. This is simply shameless and unreasonable to the extreme!And this trick is indeed enough for many civil and military ministers.

Zhu Yunying smiled, and said to Yu Xin, "Aiqing, it's better to count this year's taxes and make a plan for the imperial court's gold and silver expenses next year."

Well, Zhu Yunying gave Yu Xin another reason to shut up, just do his job well in a down-to-earth manner.

Since they are ministers of the household department and hold the money bags of the imperial court, each of them must do their jobs well.It's the end of the year, and many things are very important.Not only to do a good job in this year's work summary, but also to do a good job in planning for next year's work.

There are so many things, just do your job well, don't think about other things here.

The two ministers, Chen Di and Yu Xin, are kneeling there now, and it seems that the emperor will not let them get up for a while.It is estimated that these two will have a chance to stand up until the next court.

Although these two important ministers were dealt with by the emperor, it did make many people see the emperor's determination.But obviously, it is impossible for these two to deal with it, and the others dare not speak.

Bao Zhao was very brave at this time, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, it is a big deal to check the people's fields, and it will cost the court."

"The Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the supervisor of Dali Temple are just that." Zhu Yunying said directly, without giving Bao Zhao a chance to continue speaking, "The imperial court has checked the fields and checked the household registration many times before, and these things will not embarrass you dear ones. Just do it again like the previous investigation, but the San Judicial Department must supervise it well."

Bao Zhao's words were blocked just like that, because the emperor was being unreasonable again and directly interrupted his words.

But what can be done? What the emperor said is still very reasonable.During the Hongwu Dynasty, the court had several actions to check the land and population, which was also something that all dynasties would do.

It's just that during the Hongwu Dynasty, the scale of the investigation was relatively large and the intensity was relatively strong.But now Yingshichao, this time the investigation is at best more intensive and stricter supervision, and it seems like that's all.

Bao Zhao wants to object, but Zhu Yunying can actually understand.Although Bao Zhao is upright and fair, this is the position that puts him as an official, and the position of Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment is more suitable for Bao Zhao.But Bao Zhao, his family has been farming for generations, and has accumulated a lot of wealth, which can be regarded as a "rich second generation".

Obviously, the big landowners are most opposed to sharing their land into the mu, because this will greatly damage their interests.

Yan Zhenzhi is now in a dilemma, because he is an out-and-out landlord.To be able to become a head of grain at the beginning was because the family had a lot of grain.However, he was briefly promoted by the Supreme Emperor from a "little official", which was a great kindness in the first place.

What's more, Yan Zhenzhi had been with Emperor Yingshi when he was hiding in the residence, and his qualifications were just a little worse than Ruyu's.

Now Yan Zhenzhi is the minister of the Ministry of Industry, not to mention the important task entrusted by the emperor, and now he is also a "relative of the emperor".

He should be regarded as a follower of the emperor naturally, but if it is based on the income of the individual, the interests of Yan Zhenzhi and his family will inevitably be greatly affected, which is obviously not in line with some of his beneficial.

Many people are looking at Yan Zhenzhi, hoping that he can stand up.After all, being able to stand in the court hall is not just about being talented.It is true that poor students can appear in the court.

It's just that more people also understand that most of the people who can stand in the court today are from aristocratic families who have inherited poems and books.The so-called poor culture and rich military is not suitable in Ming Dynasty now, at least it is not suitable at the beginning of a dynasty.

Most of the people who fought with Lao Zhu back then were ordinary people who couldn't survive.And in troubled times, if you can read poetry and books without any family background, it is obviously impossible to afford it.

Playing dead, Yan Zhenzhi can only choose to play dead now, and he obviously knows what he should do.

Although this may cause some losses to the interests of his family, it is not that the court will take away all the interests at once.At most, it means that the speed of accumulating wealth is slower and the accumulation of wealth is less.

Just think about Zhuo Jing, he was born in the same emperor's grandson's mansion as Yan Zhenzhi, and he was able to compete with Ru Yu at one time.However, because he violated the emperor's wishes, he was now only the chief envoy, and was sent to guard one side by the emperor. It was simply impossible for him to return to the center of the imperial court.

It is naturally a good thing to be able to gain the trust of the emperor.It is not impossible to leave a name in history and shine on the lintel.It's just that once the narrow-minded emperor takes revenge, basically all opportunities are gone, and he will definitely be dismissed by then.

What's more, many people also understand that, judging from what the emperor means now, no one can stop him from 'spreading money into the mu'.

Since this is the case, naturally it is better not to say anything, the arm must not be able to twist the thigh, it is better not to touch the stone with the egg, that is obviously not a wise move.

Seeing Yan Zhen pretending to be dead, Zhu Yunying couldn't help laughing.And Ru Yu is also pretending to be dead at this time, and the officials of the Ministry of Officials actually have a lot of land at home, but it is more important not to say anything more at this time.

The civil servants were depressed. Ru Yu and Yan Zhen didn't take the lead in the charge. After all, they were the emperor's confidantes.As for Yu Xin and Bao Zhao, these two are obviously of average weight, and they obviously don't have many ways to respond to everyone in the court.

As for Wu Xun, many people are actually eager to move. These people also have a lot of land at home, and they obviously don't want to pay more taxes.

But if he dared to stand up at this time, Xu Huizu of the Zhongshan Prince's Mansion might start thinking about 'expelling' some people from the Xu lineage.

As for Chang Mao of the Kaiping Palace, Gu Pan Shengwei, if any Wu Xun dares to object.In the court, he probably wouldn't beat people, but in the court, he would hit the black stick and make trouble, Chang Mao would definitely do these things.

As for other feats of martial arts, that's out of the question.It's better to follow the emperor's will, even if you don't agree with it in your heart, you can't go against the emperor's will. This is the way of survival for Wu Xun.
