Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 160
One sentence for the stability of the country, one for the sake of the country, and another for caring for the people, seem to have become a means to restrict the imperial power. However, if the emperor wants to do something that is not recognized by the civil servants of the DPRK and China, it is to be arbitrary, block the way of speech, and do nothing to the people. To seize profits, in the eyes of the civil servants, the emperor must do what the emperor should do.

What a ridiculous idea!

Zhu Youxiao didn't mind that part of the imperial power was restricted. The overwhelming power in his hands was like an anesthetic. Being trapped in it for a long time would inevitably paralyze himself. After being in the cloud for a long time, he would no longer be able to see the suffering of the people.

This is why among the emperors of all dynasties, not only the Ming Dynasty, some emperors in the early and middle stages of their ascension to the throne were very wise and mighty.

But as he grows older and reaches the later stage of Yuji's ascension to the throne, he will do unbelievable things, trust treacherous ministers, have ever-changing suspicions, have a sharp relationship with his successor, and his temperament will change drastically...

In the final analysis, imperial power is too tempting. The older you get, the less you want to lose it. The emperor is also a human being, and as a human being, he cannot escape from these.

There is a prerequisite for restricting some imperial powers, and that is who will restrict the civil servants?How is power monitored?Without solving this core problem, Zhu Youxiao will never shoot himself in the foot, otherwise he will be the biggest stupid emperor in the world!
The atmosphere in Dong Nuan Pavilion became subtle.

"You don't all have anything to say to me, right?"

Seeing that Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui and the others were silent, Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "Okay, then I'll call Bi Ziyan into the palace. I want to see if the Ministry of Revenue is short of money or not. Every one of them has eyes." Keep an eye on my inner money."

"How much money was allocated from the internal funds when the emperor's grandfather was alive and when Huang Kao was still alive. Was the money actually used or did it go into the pockets of some people!!"

The emperor was angry.

Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, Han Xu and other cabinet ministers all showed different expressions. No one expected the emperor's reaction to be so big.

Han Zanzhou, who was serving in front of the emperor, bowed his head and exited the palace. He asked the eunuchs who were waiting outside the palace to go to the Hubu Yamen Office to announce that he had entered the palace to be a saint.

"Your Majesty~"

"I don't want to hear it now!"

When Han Xu came forward to bow and wanted to say something, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and interrupted: "We won't talk until Bi Ziyan comes. You all go outside and wait."

"I'm waiting to retire."

Looking at the ministers who bowed their heads and retreated, Zhu Youxiao sneered. He knew very well what was going on with these memorials asking for internal funds.

This is because of what he had done before and some changes that had occurred in the court. Some people wanted to use an excuse to counterattack. Since the emperor was arbitrary in doing things, then the problems encountered by Yousi might as well be called the emperor's arbitrary actions. Anyway, they You don't listen to anything the emperor says.

This is a soft knife that sharpens people.

Disgusting you!
In Zhu Youxiao's eyes, this is a habitual problem. You are eating royal food, receiving official salary, and enjoying power. A group of people who ask you to do things not only coax you, but also obey you. If something goes wrong at the slightest moment, they will jump up and make irresponsible remarks. It is really ridiculous!

"Chen~"

"There is no need for you to be polite, Bi Qing. First, take a look at these memorials. If you didn't get the money from your household department, you came to me and asked for it. Go and summon them all to me."

Bi Ziyan, who didn't know the situation, endured the doubts in his heart, took the memorial from Liu Ruoyu, frowned and started reading it, while Han Zanzhou went out to call Fang Congzhe and the others.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the throne and looked at the ministers who came in. He ignored them and fixed his eyes on Bi Ziyan.

"Your Majesty, there are some untruths in these memorials."

I don't know how long it took, Bi Ziyan frowned and said to the emperor.

"Don't tell me."

Zhu Youxiao stretched out his hand and pointed at Fang Congzhe and the others, "Tell them."

"Fang Yuanfu, Liu Cifu, all the elders."

Bi Ziyan took the several memorials and turned to look at Fang Congzhe and the others, "This memorial involving the draft does not require additional allocation of funds from the Ministry of Accounts. In the local area, a preliminary election is required. Specifically, there is a department responsible for organizing the organization. The palace and People sent from the capital are responsible for the selection, but the expenses are very small, and even many prefectures and counties cannot participate." "The selected show girls have to go to Beijing to be selected, but the expenses required to go to Beijing are all available at various stations. Responsible, you just need to collect the voucher and hand it over. When you arrive in the capital, the Ministry of Rites and other departments are responsible for the reception and arrangements. However, these expenses are all within the established original expenses..."

Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui's expressions became subtle.

Zhu Youxiao said nothing, just watched quietly.

Ok.

While Zhu Youxiao was busy with many matters, the harem draft had been going on step by step. Concubine Li was in charge of the draft in Beijing, and Zhu Youxiao didn't want to be distracted by these trivial matters.

Zhu Youxiao is a man with normal sexual orientation. He also hopes that the harem will have as many beauties as possible. What man doesn’t want to?
However, his status is different now, and he cannot talk too much about some things. The reason is very simple. If he says a word, someone may be on the line, and some may use chicken feathers as arrows.

"There is also this memorial concerning Liao rates. It involves the apportionment of Liao rates in the past. Many places require detailed investigation by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Minister of War has not yet taken office. Seals can only be used according to the needs of the system. Furthermore, the dynasties have allocated money over the years. There is a lot of food and salary, so I checked a lot of sealed memorials and documents and found that some of the accounts were not reconciled..."

"This memorial from the Ministry of Etiquette is a little too early since the Autumn Festival is held this year and a batch of money and food needs to be allocated to the academic and political affairs of various places..."

Bi Ziyan spoke rationally, but Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, and Han Xu were all silent, and some even started to look ugly.

The more reasonable Bi Ziyan's words are, the more unreasonable he is!
"A few days ago, Bi Qing gave me a memorial."

Looking at the silent ministers, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "We need to check the accounts of the household department and clear up some unclear accounts. I thought Bi Qing was making a fuss out of a molehill. Now it seems that I looked at the problem too simply. .”

"Everyone is crying to me that the Ministry of Revenue has no money, but Bi Qing, as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, doesn't even know about these things. Okay, that's great."

"It seems that not only the accounts department has to check the accounts, but also the departments in Beijing have to check the accounts. I want to see how much deficit is hidden in it."

"The accounts of the Ministry of Accounts will be verified by Bi Qing, but if there are other accounts of the Department, then the cabinet will verify them. Zhu Guozuo, I will leave this matter to you."

Zhu Guozuo was complaining endlessly, and it was such a thankless effort to investigate the deficit. It was not good to not find out, and it was not good to find out. This degree was not easy to control at all.

"Is there any difficulty?"

Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Guozuo and said.

"Chen~"

Zhu Guozuo hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.

"If you have any difficulties, just go to the first assistant or the second assistant!"

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "My cabinet is nothing but a decoration. It can't even handle this little thing, so why do I need a cabinet?"

"The minister leads the order."

Zhu Guozuo heard the words and had no choice but to agree. On the other hand, Fang Congzhe and Liu Yishui, although they didn't say much else, their moods were different.

"Stand back, everyone else."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "Bi Qing, Zhu Qing is staying here. I have something to tell the two Qings."

"The ministers obey the order."

"I'm waiting to retire."

There were some voices in Dongnuan Pavilion, but for some people, they all foresaw that a new turmoil would arise in the coming court situation.
