Chapter 53 This piece of land is hard to get (seeking a monthly ticket)
Facing Du Ming and Li Yu's joint attack, Yu Zijun made concessions and said: "I didn't think carefully about this matter. Today I only discuss the left deputy capital of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but I always think that Wang Yue was transferred to the north. The job is most suitable!"

Jia Jun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, couldn't help but secretly sighed. Although Yu Zijun added something later, it was obviously a bluff.

Seeing that Yu Zijun had let go, Li Yu said to all the officials present: "If there is no objection, Xu Tingzhang will be the main candidate for this court recommendation, and Zhang Jin and Wang Yue will be the candidates!"

When all the officials heard the list of personnel pushed by the court, they couldn't help turning their heads to look at Xu Pu. The result of this push was out of their control.

Although only one person was added, the result would definitely be far worse.

Xu Pu stared at the imperial decree in Li Yu's hand with a heavy face, but didn't say a word.

At this point, it is actually a done deal.Li Yu, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, has been reduced to an imperial party. The cabinet chose to draw up an edict to reappoint Li Yu, and undoubtedly still chose to cater to the holy will. As a clear leader, he cannot support himself.

Seeing that Xu Pu didn't jump out to stop him, Li Yu said with a final word: "Okay, that's the end of this court push, and I will immediately report the result of this court push to Your Majesty!"

All the officials couldn't help sighing secretly, after all, they still couldn't go against the emperor's will.

If there were no accidents, His Majesty would have insisted on choosing Wang Yue, and with Wang Yue's temperament, Prime Minister Yanzheng would surely set off a bloodbath, and those officials and businessmen might really have to pay a heavy price.

As the list of Tingtui personnel was finalized, everyone dispersed.

Li Min and Du Ming exchanged glances, and they took the list and headed towards the Meridian Gate together.

Ye Qi, the left servant of the household department, was very dissatisfied with this result, but pointed the finger in the direction of Wenyuan Pavilion and said: "Xu Xueshi, those two paper-scratching elders are no longer doing business!"

The civil official group has never been monolithic. Because the three cabinet elders of the Chenghua Dynasty, Liu Jue, Wan An, and Liu Ji, did not show the courage to fight against the imperial power, they were nicknamed "the old three cabinets of paper" by the civil official group.

I thought that Wan An and Liu Ji would become courageous civil servants in the new dynasty, but now they are still the emperor's answerers, and this time they chose to help the emperor draft the imperial edict.

If it weren't for the fact that the situation this time is really a bit special, and now the candidate for Zuodu Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate is still recommended by the court, they really suspect that Chuan Fengguan will come back out of the rivers and lakes again.

"If they were more stubborn, why would the first emperor order more than 100 officials to serve as officials!" Ni Yue, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, taunted the two pastors.

Yu Zijun, Minister of the Ministry of War, hesitated for a moment, but he revealed seriously: "As far as I know, Liu Ge returned home early in the court, and Wan An may have done this alone!"

"This old man is really a disgrace to our civil servants!" Ye Qi, the left servant of the household department, learned that Wan An did it alone, and immediately scolded through gnashing of teeth angrily.

Yu Zijun, Minister of the Ministry of War, looked mature and stable, so he turned his head to look at Xu Pu and asked: "Bachelor Xu, this is the end of the matter, what should we do next?"

"Xu Xueshi, Wan An can't stay anymore, we have to..." Ye Qi, the left servant of the household department, saw that there was no one around, and immediately made a gesture of wiping his neck.

Xu Pu knew that his path to be promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Officials was broken, and now it was indeed time to take action against Wan An, so he waved his hand to stop the discussion and said, "This old man has his own arrangements, everyone should leave!"

Yu Zijun and others couldn't help but looked at each other, but they didn't know what kind of backup Xu Pu had, but they still chose to return to their respective yamen.

"Ah Fu, prepare a carriage, I want to go secretly to the north of the city!" Xu Pu got into the sedan chair and closed his eyes to rest his mind. After thinking for a long time, he ordered lightly.

When Xu Pu secretly went to the north of the city, the officials who had just returned from the court meeting walked into Xijiang Mi Lane, but saw a new announcement posted on the screen wall.

Ye Qi broke through the crowd and walked in. When he saw the announcement about the famous Baodi piece of soil, he couldn't help but have a gloating smile on his face, but he was completely dumbfounded when he saw the content clearly.

It's noon, Qingning Palace.

The Empress Dowager Zhou looked at the bronze mirror and saw that she was fading day by day, and she couldn't help feeling sad secretly. She was about to ask about the situation of the Qianqing Palace, but she swallowed it as soon as she spit it out.

Originally, most of the maids and eunuchs in the Prince's Mansion were arranged by her, even Qin Guiben was her most loyal eunuch in Qingning Palace, so she has always been clear about Zhu Youtang's every move.

It's just that for some reason, after Zhu Youtang inherited the throne, not only did he not reuse the old people in the East Palace like the previous emperors, but he also abandoned most of the maids and eunuchs in the Prince's Mansion.

Since the Qianqing Palace changed to a maid in charge, the last eyeliner he had placed in the Qianqing Palace was also removed, and naturally he lost his surveillance of Zhu Youtang.

The current Qianqing Palace is like a cloud of fog, just like she is watching Zhu Youtang now.Obviously he brought up the grandson by himself, but now he has become so strange, it's like a different person.

"Empress Dowager, please see Uncle Qing Yun!" A court lady walked in lightly from outside and reported to Empress Dowager Zhou who was combing her hair.

The Empress Dowager Zhou sighed sadly, but she still asked someone to arrange for him to come.

Ordinarily, my younger brother should be happy to come here, but this younger brother doesn't have much affection in his eyes at all, and he only thinks about how to change ways to ask for rewards.

When she saw her brother with a smile all over her face, she knew why he came here.

The Empress Dowager Zhou who came to sit in the front hall held up the teacup and said calmly: "Don't worry, you are not joking, that piece of land will definitely not escape, you don't need to come and urge me every day!"

"Sister, there seems to be some trouble with that piece of land. Your Majesty has just issued a decree!" Zhou Shou immediately became sad when he heard about the mention of that piece of land.

The Empress Dowager Zhou stopped drinking tea and asked seriously, "What is your purpose?"

"Your Majesty has ordered the Ministry of Households to measure the properties of that piece of land in Baodi, saying that he will compensate the poor at the market price!" Zhou Shou revealed with complicated eyes.

The Empress Dowager Zhou took a sip of tea, but she said disapprovingly: "Although it is cheaper for the people, it can also keep the people from making trouble. Isn't it good for you?"

"It's supposed to be like this, but the people there don't make trouble, and the people in the capital start pointing at me. Earlier, everyone said that His Majesty was deceived by me and laughed at His Majesty, but now that His Majesty is doing this, everyone started to accuse me of being too Greedy!" Zhou Shou immediately poured out bitter water.

If Zhu Youtang gave the land quietly, the six hundred hectares of land would not attract people's attention. After all, many mountains and forests are worthless at all.Like some sea islands, even Daming would look down on them. In this era, only farming has economic value.

It's just that now Zhu Youtang suddenly cleared the cultivated land of Baodi's land, and also compensated the sufferer at a high price, so that the land has economic data.

You ask for [-] hectares of land, even though everyone knows that it is a piece of fertile land, but after all it is a muddled account.It's just that everyone knows that the [-] hectares of land you asked for has [-] mu of fertile land, so the nature of this reward has changed.

"How could this be?" The Empress Dowager Zhou asked in confusion, holding a cup of tea.

After clarifying the stakes, Zhou Shouwan said while eating Coptis chinensis: "Sister, the land given by His Majesty is really hard to get!"

With the posting of the notice about the land in Baodi, the public opinion in the capital has completely changed.

"Sin, Baodi is a piece of fertile land. I don't know how many people live on the land there!"

"Isn't it? Everyone says that the new emperor is wise, but he doesn't ask the people's sufferings at all. I think he is a muddled emperor!"

"The new monarch has already taken people away from the fields and cleared the rivers and rivers before the official change of Yuan. What is the law?"

……

This was everyone's reaction when they learned that the emperor was going to give the land of [-] hectares in Baodi to Qing Yunhou. At that time, they all pointed their fingers at Zhu Youtang, and their favor for the new emperor had already dropped to freezing point.

"Your Majesty is not confused about granting the land. After all, Marquis Qingyun is the younger brother of my uncle and the Empress Dowager. I can't refuse this matter!"

"If you want to talk about this, you can only blame Qing Yunhou for being too greedy. You dare to speak up. I have never seen such a brazen person before!"

"Your Majesty is benevolent, but the relatives are so greedy. The current compensation plan is also an expedient policy. This proves that Your Majesty is pretending to be us people!"

……

After the announcement was posted, everyone pointed their fingers at Qingyun Hou Zhoushou after learning of the solution to the matter. Many elderly people were even moved to tears by Zhu Youtang's actions.

The sky in Beijing is so blue and low that many people feel that the emperor is watching them kindly, and a group of autumn geese is flying south.
