Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter
Chapter 823 The battle between the monarch and his ministers, dismissal from office
Boom!
In an instant, there seemed to be thunder snakes dancing wildly, lightning flashed and thunder thundered, and the silent thunder exploded in everyone's heart, making everyone in the Hall of Martial Heroes tremble.
They never expected such a huge change in what they thought was the same day as usual. The emperor and the chief assistant, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, is it possible that this pair of monarchs and ministers will break up here today?
And knowing this news, do they still have a way to survive? !
Everyone was worried, Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhang Haogu, disappointed, angry, and puzzled flashed one by one, and finally turned into a lament: "Oh!"
"You can't go with me anymore."
"For 11 years as a monarch and minister, Master is going to break with me just for the sake of tens of thousands of people?!"
Zhang Haogu's eyes were also full of disappointment: "Just tens of thousands of people."
"Your Majesty still remembers the floods in Henan in the past. Your Majesty fought the floods and rescued the disaster in person. He survived millions of people in the 27 counties of the four prefectures. All the people worshiped him, and the world praised him."
"Why can His Majesty today name a mere tens of thousands of people?"
"Isn't it? Master killed people in the past, but I don't remember having such a bodhisattva heart." Zhu Youxiao asked back.
Zhang Haogu said solemnly: "If they are ambitious and plot to rebel and overthrow the world, then they are guilty and should be killed; if they are corrupt officials, oppressing the village and breaking the law, then they can be killed; if they are soldiers, their job is to protect If the border of the country is dead on the battlefield, His Majesty wants to send them to the battlefield, and I have nothing to say."
"But they are just innocent people, or a group of poor people who are forced to have nowhere to go."
"They have no ambitions, nor do they want to overthrow the world, they just want to seek justice for themselves; they are not officials, they do not enjoy various salaries and benefits from the court, and they have never corrupted the law; they are not soldiers, they have never received court food and experience They did not have military training, and they did not want to go to the battlefield to gain fame."
"They're just a bunch of poor people trying to live."
"It's just a group of poor people. If you sacrifice them for the absurd man of the King of Shu, doesn't Your Majesty think that it's a little more pitiful than that?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "So, Master really doesn't want to change his mind?"
Zhang Haogu deeply admired him: "I just do my duty as a minister."
"Heh, what a courtier, I can't afford to use such a courtier!" Zhu Youxiao sneered, and casually threw the booklet jointly presented by the Southwest Anti-Rebellion Army in front of Zhang Haogu.
"Since Shoufu feels that he can't go with me anymore, then Shoufu should go back and rest."
"My Ming Dynasty is now prosperous and prosperous, the world is peaceful, and it is no problem to raise the head and assistant for a hundred years."
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Haogu calmly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Immediately Zhang Haogu took off his seven-beam Usha crown, put it neatly together with the seal ribbon around his waist, got up and left.
In the Hall of Martial Arts, all the waiters didn't dare to show their anger. Zhu Youxiao calmly looked at the seven-beam Wusha crown on the ground and the seal ribbon of the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. He clenched his fist tightly with his left hand, and finally let go: "Put it away."
When Zhang Haogu left the Hall of Martial Heroes and arrived in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang An looked at Zhang Haogu who had only a headband on his head and no seal around his waist, and he was a little dazed: "Master, this."
"Stop talking so much, take me home, I'm sleepy." Zhang Haogu smiled.
Although Zhang An didn't understand what happened, seeing that Zhang Haogu didn't want to say anything, he obediently took the carriage and sent Zhang Haogu home.
When they got home, Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang Haogu and was also confused: "Husband, what is this?"
"It's okay, I'm a little tired, I'll go to sleep for a while." Zhang Haogu smiled and waved his hands, and went to the bedroom to sleep by himself.
Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang An at the side and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Zhang An also looked blank: "I don't know either. The young master went to look for His Majesty after he got the paperwork, and he came back like this."
Although Zhu Qiqi was worried, he still restrained himself and just stared at the closed door of the bedroom full of worry.
As for Zhang Haogu, who was lying in the bedroom, he felt exhausted all over his body. Although his body was extremely strong, he had never been sick in the past years. Zhang Haogu suspected that even if he took Hedinghong, he would not be able to die if he was healthy. himself, but now Zhang Haogu feels extremely tired.
As soon as you are mentally tired, you will also be physically tired.
Sighing faintly, Zhang Haogu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep regardless.
Zhang Haogu fell asleep, but everyone in the cabinet was shocked.
Hearing that Zhang Haogu had returned home alone without Liang Guan and Yinshou, Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng were keenly aware of the problem, especially when everyone in the Hall of Martial Arts was silent, and no one uttered a word, which made Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng feel the problem. Lu Xiangsheng became even more worried.
When he went to court the next day, all the officials were surprised to find that Zhu Youxiao had gone to court, but Zhang Haogu had not.
Looking at the surprised officials, Zhu Youxiao said: "The first assistant has worked for a long time and is not feeling well. He is resting at home these days. The affairs of the cabinet should be taken care of by a few senior scholars first."
Although the officials were surprised, the emperor did not dare to ask other questions under the words of the emperor, and could only agree.
And in the court, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Ruitu look at me and I look at you, they are really at a loss, as for Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng, they are even more at a loss, do they have real power now?
However, this right came too suddenly, right? !
And who can be a minister in the court, which one is a fool?
After asking around, I finally got a little bit of news, among which there was a suspected dispute between Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu was suspected of being dismissed from office.
dismissed from office!
On behalf of the emperor, you are no longer needed.
It is the pursuit of civil and military talents of all dynasties to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. The emperor doesn't need you, so what's the use of your great talent?
Ordinary officials are dismissed from office and deprived of titles. This is nothing, it is normal.
But when Zhang Haogu was dismissed from office, the situation was quite different.
Who is Zhang Haogu?
That is the chief assistant of the current dynasty, the cabinet scholar, the minister of the Ministry of officials, the grand master of the current dynasty, the emperor's tutor, and the person most relied on by the emperor. The new party, Datong Academy, new army, and new policies are not promoted by Zhang Haogu. ?
Today's new government policies, commercial policies, people's livelihood policies, and trade exchanges with overseas countries
It can be said that Zhang Haogu was responsible for the military and state affairs of Ming Dynasty. Now that Zhang Haogu has been dismissed from office, something really big is going to happen.
Will the court's policy change?
Will the business of the imperial court change?
Will there be problems with today's foreign policies, industrial and commercial policies, stocks, futures, and various industries?
All of a sudden, everyone in the capital who got the news was panicked.
Even all walks of life have experienced quite a shock.
When Zhu Youxiao heard the news, he couldn't help but sneered: "See, this is the ability of the chief assistant."
"People are still at home, stay at home, the world will be in turmoil."
Even though he said so, can Zhu Youxiao not be in a hurry?
Commerce is the lifeblood of Daming today. Compared with the previous agricultural tax, now that Daming has embarked on the road of industrialization, agricultural tax is nothing.
How much is the agricultural tax?
How much does the court charge for business every year?
Stocks, futures, factories, chambers of commerce, overseas trade
The majority of the imperial court's annual revenue is commercial tax. It can be said that commercial tax is the pillar of Ming Dynasty today and the key to supporting the imperial court. Right now, industry and commerce are in turmoil, and all walks of life are worried.
This is only the capital, if it spreads to the north and the south, and the whole Ming Dynasty knows that the monarch and his ministers are at odds, what will happen?
Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to think about such a picture. Daming couldn't afford the consequences of the collapse of industry and commerce. Even if he could do it all over again, it would take a lot of effort.
Right now, just a little gossip about the capital has such a shock, which makes Zhu Youxiao even more upset about how to deal with Zhang Haogu.
"Who really spread the news? Let me check and see who is gossiping!" Zhu Youxiao angrily gave Wei Zhongxian an order.
Wei Zhongxian said hastily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves will investigate right now."
Looking at the figure of Wei Zhongxian leaving in a hurry, Zhu Youxiao just wanted to calm down, think about the conflict between himself and Zhang Haogu, think about the suspicion of all the officials in the capital, and the turmoil in industry and commerce, and he is not angry at all: "Forget it!" Now, go to the imperial garden!"
Wang Tiqian hurriedly yelled: "Show me, Royal Garden!"
For several days in a row, under the strict inspection and control of Jin Yiwei, the rumors and rumors in the capital are less, but the rumors and rumors all over the world have spread out somehow.
Why did Zhu Youxiao have a big conflict with Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu has already asked for the bones to return to his hometown in Linqing.
Why is Zhu Youxiao afraid of the current power of the New Party? This is a suppression of the New Party for the purpose of balancing the government, and Zhang Haogu is a victim.
What else is Zhang Haogu planning to rebel? The southwest incident was caused by Zhang Haogu. Zhu Youxiao discovered it in time and suppressed him.
All kinds of rumors and rumors were flying all over the sky, and the world was in an uproar, but the only thing that was certain was that there must have been a gap between Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao, the master-student, monarch and minister.
The news became more and more outrageous. Qian Qianyi, who had just returned to Daming after finishing his business in Dongying, was stunned: "What? There is a conflict between the chief assistant and His Majesty? Are you confined at home now?"
"That's right, master, it's been rumored outside!" said the boy.
Qian Qianyi looked blankly at the bustling Tianjin Wharf. How long has he been in Dongying now? How did Ming change?
As if thinking of something, Qian Qianyi immediately ordered: "Hurry up, go back to the capital!"
The servant hurriedly prepared the frame, and Qian Qianyi hurriedly got on the car and set off.
It stands to reason that when the dignified cabinet comes back, the Tianjin government must take the wind and clean up the dust, but how can Qian Qianyi care about that right now?
When the Tianjin government was ready to meet the driver, they saw Qian Qianyi's carriage go straight to the capital, leaving the officials of the Tianjin government looking at each other in blank dismay.
Feng Xuan, the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture, sighed: "It seems that what happened in the capital is really serious. Elder Qian Ge would not be in such a hurry otherwise."
"Everyone, let's go away. There's no need to put on a show at this time. It's better to do things well and be careful."
The officials of the Tianjin government naturally nodded repeatedly, who said otherwise?
Right now, Da Ming is about to have a storm.
Zhang Haogu didn't know much about what happened outside. After waking up from a deep sleep all day, Zhang Haogu couldn't help but feel apologetic looking at Zhu Qiqi's worried expression.
"Husband, what happened? Why are there rumors that you and the emperor's brother are having a rift?" Zhu Qiqi asked anxiously.
Zhang Haogu sighed: "I'm sorry Madam, I made Madam worry."
"Husband." Zhu Qiqi already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhang Haogu smiled wryly: "This time, it's my husband's fault. I really don't know what to say."
Sighing for a long time, Zhang Haogu decided to tell Zhu Qiqi the ins and outs of the future.
Zhu Qiqi said with a complicated expression: "My husband did the right thing. The people are innocent. How can the emperor's brother use the lives of the people to defend the absurd Shu king? Although the clan and vassal king are important, but 50 Ming people are not as good as a clan A vassal?"
"It's just, why did the husband say this to the concubine?"
Zhang Haogu held Zhu Qiqi's hand, and said softly: "My husband is in charge of the outside world, and my wife is in charge of the inside. Although this important court event does not need to be known by the madam, but what the husband does outside and why he does it, the madam must always know." , Between you and me, there is naturally nothing to hide, and what should be known to Madam is naturally to be said, not to mention that this matter does not involve the husband alone, but the whole family."
As he said that, Zhang Haogu looked apologetic: "This time, it was my husband's fault. I didn't consider my wife, I didn't consider Cheng Ze, and I went my own way because of my husband."
Zhu Qiqi shook his head: "My husband is for the sake of the people in the world, and for the responsibilities on my body, my concubine and Ze'er."
Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Qiqi, smiled wryly and said, "It's my husband's fault, I have to admit it."
"My husband only thinks about the outside world, but forgets that I, Zhang Haogu, am not alone anymore. If something happens, it's okay for me to take care of it, but if you and Ze'er are involved, then it's okay for me to be a hero outside." What's the use?"
With a long sigh, Zhang Haogu looked a little dazed: "For ideals, for ideals, I am fighting with His Majesty. There is nothing to say, but I take it for granted. The Zhang family in Linqing, and my wife, and Ze'er, such a big family, I look bright outside, but I can't ignore you."
"Thinking about what happened that day now, I find it a bit unbelievable that I would go so hard with His Majesty that I completely forgot about my family."
"Some people can disregard their family members for their own ideals just to save their own name, loyalty and filial piety and a long history, but I can't just care about myself."
"Husband." Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang Haogu who was at a loss at this moment, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if his heart was being pulled and twisted. How high-spirited his previous husband was.
After recovering, Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Qiqi and said, "Madam, take Ze'er back to Linqing."
"Husband?!" Zhu Qiqi was terrified, did her husband and the emperor's elder brother come to this point?
Did he actually need to run to Linqing to avoid disaster?
Zhang Haogu has regained his composure, looked at Zhu Qiqi, smiled and went forward to rub her face: "Needless to say, let Zhang An take you and Ze'er back to Linqing, and speak for my husband and the second elder." Say sorry, then stay in Linqing, preferably incognito."
"If something happens to the imperial court, tell the elders not to worry about their family property, and go out to sea with gold and silver, whether in Nanyang or Dongpu, they will always be able to live better."
"It's just that I haven't saved much money for my husband in these years. The annual salary, maintenance money, and various rewards from Your Majesty all come from Madam. Madam should bring them. After all, I don't need it for my husband."
"The concubine knows." Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang Haogu complicatedly, she knew that her husband was stubborn, and if she just had an argument with the emperor's brother, she would never say such things as if she was confessing her last words.
Now that so much has been said, something must happen.
Here I can only make my husband worry, since I can't help my husband, then try not to make my husband worry.
Zhu Qiqi is a smart woman, she quickly packed up her luggage, took the gold and silver, and went out of the city in a carriage under the escort of Zhang An and his wife.
With Zhang An escorting him all the way, Zhang Haogu is also at ease, not to mention Zhang An's martial arts, usually seven or eight thieves can't get close to him, but in today's Zhili Shandong and other places, thieves and the like have long since disappeared.
What's more, Zhang Haogu also left Zhu Qiqi with two revolvers to protect himself.
After Zhu Qiqi left, Zhang Haogu looked at his home, there was no one there at first, and now it is even more empty.
But Zhang Haogu felt extremely at ease in this empty and quiet home at this time.
He is not the kind of person who disregards his family for the sake of one's reputation, and it is impossible for him to abandon his wife and children for the sake of his own beliefs.
Those who can be ordered and taken care of have done their best. The Zhang family in Linqing still has a lot of money, and he has left Zhu Qiqi with salaries and rewards for so many years, so much money Zhu Qiqi can bring overseas. Live a rich life with your children.
In this way, I have no favors.
Sitting in the study, Zhang Haogu lit the incense by himself, then grinded the ink, spread out the booklet and picked up the brush. After a long silence, Zhang Haogu slowly wrote on the brush: "I once heard the sage's cloud."
The whole night, Zhang Haogu was writing this note.
After writing the notes and drying the ink, Zhang Haogu washed himself in the early morning, and went out to drive towards the palace by himself.
Outside the Hall of Martial Ying, a small eunuch hurried over and whispered something in Wei Zhongxian's ear. Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang is outside with a booklet."
The joy on Zhu Youxiao's face disappeared, and his expression was a little complicated: "Let the chief assistant come in."
Soon, Zhang Haogu, who was dressed in commoner clothes, entered the Hall of Martial Arts calmly, and bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao: "Kowtow to Your Majesty."
"I heard that the chief assistant prepared a copy for me?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"My humble opinion." Zhang Haogu said.
Wei Zhongxian saw that there seemed to be an invisible collision between the pair of monarchs and ministers, and his whole heart was raised. Why is Master Zhang still so stubborn.
"Heh, it's been a long time since I saw Shoufu's masterpiece, so here it is." Zhu Youxiao sneered.
Zhang Haogu took out the booklet and handed it to Wang Tigan who was on the side, Wang Tigan presented the booklet with a distressed face, Zhu Youxiao spread the booklet, the sneer on his face disappeared, and the servants in the Hall of Martial Arts felt as if they were under infinite pressure , the hall was dead silent.
After a long time, the principal Zhu You, who had finished reading the excerpts, let out a sigh of relief: "Good literary talent, Master is indeed worthy of being the leader of the year. This article is thrilling and exciting."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao combined Zhezi: "Pass down the decree, dismiss Zhang Haogu as the chief assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of Wuyingdian, and the official secretary, and order Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, to return to Beijing."
In an instant, there seemed to be thunder snakes dancing wildly, lightning flashed and thunder thundered, and the silent thunder exploded in everyone's heart, making everyone in the Hall of Martial Heroes tremble.
They never expected such a huge change in what they thought was the same day as usual. The emperor and the chief assistant, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, is it possible that this pair of monarchs and ministers will break up here today?
And knowing this news, do they still have a way to survive? !
Everyone was worried, Zhu Youxiao stared at Zhang Haogu, disappointed, angry, and puzzled flashed one by one, and finally turned into a lament: "Oh!"
"You can't go with me anymore."
"For 11 years as a monarch and minister, Master is going to break with me just for the sake of tens of thousands of people?!"
Zhang Haogu's eyes were also full of disappointment: "Just tens of thousands of people."
"Your Majesty still remembers the floods in Henan in the past. Your Majesty fought the floods and rescued the disaster in person. He survived millions of people in the 27 counties of the four prefectures. All the people worshiped him, and the world praised him."
"Why can His Majesty today name a mere tens of thousands of people?"
"Isn't it? Master killed people in the past, but I don't remember having such a bodhisattva heart." Zhu Youxiao asked back.
Zhang Haogu said solemnly: "If they are ambitious and plot to rebel and overthrow the world, then they are guilty and should be killed; if they are corrupt officials, oppressing the village and breaking the law, then they can be killed; if they are soldiers, their job is to protect If the border of the country is dead on the battlefield, His Majesty wants to send them to the battlefield, and I have nothing to say."
"But they are just innocent people, or a group of poor people who are forced to have nowhere to go."
"They have no ambitions, nor do they want to overthrow the world, they just want to seek justice for themselves; they are not officials, they do not enjoy various salaries and benefits from the court, and they have never corrupted the law; they are not soldiers, they have never received court food and experience They did not have military training, and they did not want to go to the battlefield to gain fame."
"They're just a bunch of poor people trying to live."
"It's just a group of poor people. If you sacrifice them for the absurd man of the King of Shu, doesn't Your Majesty think that it's a little more pitiful than that?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "So, Master really doesn't want to change his mind?"
Zhang Haogu deeply admired him: "I just do my duty as a minister."
"Heh, what a courtier, I can't afford to use such a courtier!" Zhu Youxiao sneered, and casually threw the booklet jointly presented by the Southwest Anti-Rebellion Army in front of Zhang Haogu.
"Since Shoufu feels that he can't go with me anymore, then Shoufu should go back and rest."
"My Ming Dynasty is now prosperous and prosperous, the world is peaceful, and it is no problem to raise the head and assistant for a hundred years."
Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Zhang Haogu calmly knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Immediately Zhang Haogu took off his seven-beam Usha crown, put it neatly together with the seal ribbon around his waist, got up and left.
In the Hall of Martial Arts, all the waiters didn't dare to show their anger. Zhu Youxiao calmly looked at the seven-beam Wusha crown on the ground and the seal ribbon of the chief assistant of the Ming Dynasty. He clenched his fist tightly with his left hand, and finally let go: "Put it away."
When Zhang Haogu left the Hall of Martial Heroes and arrived in front of Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang An looked at Zhang Haogu who had only a headband on his head and no seal around his waist, and he was a little dazed: "Master, this."
"Stop talking so much, take me home, I'm sleepy." Zhang Haogu smiled.
Although Zhang An didn't understand what happened, seeing that Zhang Haogu didn't want to say anything, he obediently took the carriage and sent Zhang Haogu home.
When they got home, Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang Haogu and was also confused: "Husband, what is this?"
"It's okay, I'm a little tired, I'll go to sleep for a while." Zhang Haogu smiled and waved his hands, and went to the bedroom to sleep by himself.
Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang An at the side and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong?"
Zhang An also looked blank: "I don't know either. The young master went to look for His Majesty after he got the paperwork, and he came back like this."
Although Zhu Qiqi was worried, he still restrained himself and just stared at the closed door of the bedroom full of worry.
As for Zhang Haogu, who was lying in the bedroom, he felt exhausted all over his body. Although his body was extremely strong, he had never been sick in the past years. Zhang Haogu suspected that even if he took Hedinghong, he would not be able to die if he was healthy. himself, but now Zhang Haogu feels extremely tired.
As soon as you are mentally tired, you will also be physically tired.
Sighing faintly, Zhang Haogu closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep regardless.
Zhang Haogu fell asleep, but everyone in the cabinet was shocked.
Hearing that Zhang Haogu had returned home alone without Liang Guan and Yinshou, Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng were keenly aware of the problem, especially when everyone in the Hall of Martial Arts was silent, and no one uttered a word, which made Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng feel the problem. Lu Xiangsheng became even more worried.
When he went to court the next day, all the officials were surprised to find that Zhu Youxiao had gone to court, but Zhang Haogu had not.
Looking at the surprised officials, Zhu Youxiao said: "The first assistant has worked for a long time and is not feeling well. He is resting at home these days. The affairs of the cabinet should be taken care of by a few senior scholars first."
Although the officials were surprised, the emperor did not dare to ask other questions under the words of the emperor, and could only agree.
And in the court, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Ruitu look at me and I look at you, they are really at a loss, as for Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng, they are even more at a loss, do they have real power now?
However, this right came too suddenly, right? !
And who can be a minister in the court, which one is a fool?
After asking around, I finally got a little bit of news, among which there was a suspected dispute between Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu was suspected of being dismissed from office.
dismissed from office!
On behalf of the emperor, you are no longer needed.
It is the pursuit of civil and military talents of all dynasties to learn literary and martial arts and sell them to the emperor's family. The emperor doesn't need you, so what's the use of your great talent?
Ordinary officials are dismissed from office and deprived of titles. This is nothing, it is normal.
But when Zhang Haogu was dismissed from office, the situation was quite different.
Who is Zhang Haogu?
That is the chief assistant of the current dynasty, the cabinet scholar, the minister of the Ministry of officials, the grand master of the current dynasty, the emperor's tutor, and the person most relied on by the emperor. The new party, Datong Academy, new army, and new policies are not promoted by Zhang Haogu. ?
Today's new government policies, commercial policies, people's livelihood policies, and trade exchanges with overseas countries
It can be said that Zhang Haogu was responsible for the military and state affairs of Ming Dynasty. Now that Zhang Haogu has been dismissed from office, something really big is going to happen.
Will the court's policy change?
Will the business of the imperial court change?
Will there be problems with today's foreign policies, industrial and commercial policies, stocks, futures, and various industries?
All of a sudden, everyone in the capital who got the news was panicked.
Even all walks of life have experienced quite a shock.
When Zhu Youxiao heard the news, he couldn't help but sneered: "See, this is the ability of the chief assistant."
"People are still at home, stay at home, the world will be in turmoil."
Even though he said so, can Zhu Youxiao not be in a hurry?
Commerce is the lifeblood of Daming today. Compared with the previous agricultural tax, now that Daming has embarked on the road of industrialization, agricultural tax is nothing.
How much is the agricultural tax?
How much does the court charge for business every year?
Stocks, futures, factories, chambers of commerce, overseas trade
The majority of the imperial court's annual revenue is commercial tax. It can be said that commercial tax is the pillar of Ming Dynasty today and the key to supporting the imperial court. Right now, industry and commerce are in turmoil, and all walks of life are worried.
This is only the capital, if it spreads to the north and the south, and the whole Ming Dynasty knows that the monarch and his ministers are at odds, what will happen?
Zhu Youxiao didn't dare to think about such a picture. Daming couldn't afford the consequences of the collapse of industry and commerce. Even if he could do it all over again, it would take a lot of effort.
Right now, just a little gossip about the capital has such a shock, which makes Zhu Youxiao even more upset about how to deal with Zhang Haogu.
"Who really spread the news? Let me check and see who is gossiping!" Zhu Youxiao angrily gave Wei Zhongxian an order.
Wei Zhongxian said hastily: "Your Majesty, don't worry, the slaves will investigate right now."
Looking at the figure of Wei Zhongxian leaving in a hurry, Zhu Youxiao just wanted to calm down, think about the conflict between himself and Zhang Haogu, think about the suspicion of all the officials in the capital, and the turmoil in industry and commerce, and he is not angry at all: "Forget it!" Now, go to the imperial garden!"
Wang Tiqian hurriedly yelled: "Show me, Royal Garden!"
For several days in a row, under the strict inspection and control of Jin Yiwei, the rumors and rumors in the capital are less, but the rumors and rumors all over the world have spread out somehow.
Why did Zhu Youxiao have a big conflict with Zhang Haogu, and Zhang Haogu has already asked for the bones to return to his hometown in Linqing.
Why is Zhu Youxiao afraid of the current power of the New Party? This is a suppression of the New Party for the purpose of balancing the government, and Zhang Haogu is a victim.
What else is Zhang Haogu planning to rebel? The southwest incident was caused by Zhang Haogu. Zhu Youxiao discovered it in time and suppressed him.
All kinds of rumors and rumors were flying all over the sky, and the world was in an uproar, but the only thing that was certain was that there must have been a gap between Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao, the master-student, monarch and minister.
The news became more and more outrageous. Qian Qianyi, who had just returned to Daming after finishing his business in Dongying, was stunned: "What? There is a conflict between the chief assistant and His Majesty? Are you confined at home now?"
"That's right, master, it's been rumored outside!" said the boy.
Qian Qianyi looked blankly at the bustling Tianjin Wharf. How long has he been in Dongying now? How did Ming change?
As if thinking of something, Qian Qianyi immediately ordered: "Hurry up, go back to the capital!"
The servant hurriedly prepared the frame, and Qian Qianyi hurriedly got on the car and set off.
It stands to reason that when the dignified cabinet comes back, the Tianjin government must take the wind and clean up the dust, but how can Qian Qianyi care about that right now?
When the Tianjin government was ready to meet the driver, they saw Qian Qianyi's carriage go straight to the capital, leaving the officials of the Tianjin government looking at each other in blank dismay.
Feng Xuan, the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture, sighed: "It seems that what happened in the capital is really serious. Elder Qian Ge would not be in such a hurry otherwise."
"Everyone, let's go away. There's no need to put on a show at this time. It's better to do things well and be careful."
The officials of the Tianjin government naturally nodded repeatedly, who said otherwise?
Right now, Da Ming is about to have a storm.
Zhang Haogu didn't know much about what happened outside. After waking up from a deep sleep all day, Zhang Haogu couldn't help but feel apologetic looking at Zhu Qiqi's worried expression.
"Husband, what happened? Why are there rumors that you and the emperor's brother are having a rift?" Zhu Qiqi asked anxiously.
Zhang Haogu sighed: "I'm sorry Madam, I made Madam worry."
"Husband." Zhu Qiqi already had a bad feeling in his heart.
Zhang Haogu smiled wryly: "This time, it's my husband's fault. I really don't know what to say."
Sighing for a long time, Zhang Haogu decided to tell Zhu Qiqi the ins and outs of the future.
Zhu Qiqi said with a complicated expression: "My husband did the right thing. The people are innocent. How can the emperor's brother use the lives of the people to defend the absurd Shu king? Although the clan and vassal king are important, but 50 Ming people are not as good as a clan A vassal?"
"It's just, why did the husband say this to the concubine?"
Zhang Haogu held Zhu Qiqi's hand, and said softly: "My husband is in charge of the outside world, and my wife is in charge of the inside. Although this important court event does not need to be known by the madam, but what the husband does outside and why he does it, the madam must always know." , Between you and me, there is naturally nothing to hide, and what should be known to Madam is naturally to be said, not to mention that this matter does not involve the husband alone, but the whole family."
As he said that, Zhang Haogu looked apologetic: "This time, it was my husband's fault. I didn't consider my wife, I didn't consider Cheng Ze, and I went my own way because of my husband."
Zhu Qiqi shook his head: "My husband is for the sake of the people in the world, and for the responsibilities on my body, my concubine and Ze'er."
Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Qiqi, smiled wryly and said, "It's my husband's fault, I have to admit it."
"My husband only thinks about the outside world, but forgets that I, Zhang Haogu, am not alone anymore. If something happens, it's okay for me to take care of it, but if you and Ze'er are involved, then it's okay for me to be a hero outside." What's the use?"
With a long sigh, Zhang Haogu looked a little dazed: "For ideals, for ideals, I am fighting with His Majesty. There is nothing to say, but I take it for granted. The Zhang family in Linqing, and my wife, and Ze'er, such a big family, I look bright outside, but I can't ignore you."
"Thinking about what happened that day now, I find it a bit unbelievable that I would go so hard with His Majesty that I completely forgot about my family."
"Some people can disregard their family members for their own ideals just to save their own name, loyalty and filial piety and a long history, but I can't just care about myself."
"Husband." Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang Haogu who was at a loss at this moment, and felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, as if his heart was being pulled and twisted. How high-spirited his previous husband was.
After recovering, Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Qiqi and said, "Madam, take Ze'er back to Linqing."
"Husband?!" Zhu Qiqi was terrified, did her husband and the emperor's elder brother come to this point?
Did he actually need to run to Linqing to avoid disaster?
Zhang Haogu has regained his composure, looked at Zhu Qiqi, smiled and went forward to rub her face: "Needless to say, let Zhang An take you and Ze'er back to Linqing, and speak for my husband and the second elder." Say sorry, then stay in Linqing, preferably incognito."
"If something happens to the imperial court, tell the elders not to worry about their family property, and go out to sea with gold and silver, whether in Nanyang or Dongpu, they will always be able to live better."
"It's just that I haven't saved much money for my husband in these years. The annual salary, maintenance money, and various rewards from Your Majesty all come from Madam. Madam should bring them. After all, I don't need it for my husband."
"The concubine knows." Zhu Qiqi looked at Zhang Haogu complicatedly, she knew that her husband was stubborn, and if she just had an argument with the emperor's brother, she would never say such things as if she was confessing her last words.
Now that so much has been said, something must happen.
Here I can only make my husband worry, since I can't help my husband, then try not to make my husband worry.
Zhu Qiqi is a smart woman, she quickly packed up her luggage, took the gold and silver, and went out of the city in a carriage under the escort of Zhang An and his wife.
With Zhang An escorting him all the way, Zhang Haogu is also at ease, not to mention Zhang An's martial arts, usually seven or eight thieves can't get close to him, but in today's Zhili Shandong and other places, thieves and the like have long since disappeared.
What's more, Zhang Haogu also left Zhu Qiqi with two revolvers to protect himself.
After Zhu Qiqi left, Zhang Haogu looked at his home, there was no one there at first, and now it is even more empty.
But Zhang Haogu felt extremely at ease in this empty and quiet home at this time.
He is not the kind of person who disregards his family for the sake of one's reputation, and it is impossible for him to abandon his wife and children for the sake of his own beliefs.
Those who can be ordered and taken care of have done their best. The Zhang family in Linqing still has a lot of money, and he has left Zhu Qiqi with salaries and rewards for so many years, so much money Zhu Qiqi can bring overseas. Live a rich life with your children.
In this way, I have no favors.
Sitting in the study, Zhang Haogu lit the incense by himself, then grinded the ink, spread out the booklet and picked up the brush. After a long silence, Zhang Haogu slowly wrote on the brush: "I once heard the sage's cloud."
The whole night, Zhang Haogu was writing this note.
After writing the notes and drying the ink, Zhang Haogu washed himself in the early morning, and went out to drive towards the palace by himself.
Outside the Hall of Martial Ying, a small eunuch hurried over and whispered something in Wei Zhongxian's ear. Zhu Youxiao glanced at Wei Zhongxian and asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "Your Majesty, Master Zhang is outside with a booklet."
The joy on Zhu Youxiao's face disappeared, and his expression was a little complicated: "Let the chief assistant come in."
Soon, Zhang Haogu, who was dressed in commoner clothes, entered the Hall of Martial Arts calmly, and bowed deeply to Zhu Youxiao: "Kowtow to Your Majesty."
"I heard that the chief assistant prepared a copy for me?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
"My humble opinion." Zhang Haogu said.
Wei Zhongxian saw that there seemed to be an invisible collision between the pair of monarchs and ministers, and his whole heart was raised. Why is Master Zhang still so stubborn.
"Heh, it's been a long time since I saw Shoufu's masterpiece, so here it is." Zhu Youxiao sneered.
Zhang Haogu took out the booklet and handed it to Wang Tigan who was on the side, Wang Tigan presented the booklet with a distressed face, Zhu Youxiao spread the booklet, the sneer on his face disappeared, and the servants in the Hall of Martial Arts felt as if they were under infinite pressure , the hall was dead silent.
After a long time, the principal Zhu You, who had finished reading the excerpts, let out a sigh of relief: "Good literary talent, Master is indeed worthy of being the leader of the year. This article is thrilling and exciting."
As he said that, Zhu Youxiao combined Zhezi: "Pass down the decree, dismiss Zhang Haogu as the chief assistant of the cabinet, the scholar of Wuyingdian, and the official secretary, and order Sun Chengzong, the governor of Liaodong, to return to Beijing."
