Chapter 2157 History is biased towards the emperor

After the fourth master made up his mind, he tried his best to speed up political reforms and strive to leave Hongdan with a peaceful and prosperous world.

As for prosperity... nothing will be seen within a few years. He can only lay a good foundation for him, and everything behind him will depend entirely on himself.

In August of the fourth year of Yongzheng, the emperor announced that the two princes would officially enter the court to listen to politics.

Some sour and corrupt veterans in the court felt that the prince was too young, and according to the ancestor's rules, this was not allowed.

The other part of the courtiers who are loyal to the emperor and the people on the Thirteenth Lord's side all said that the princes are talented and intelligent, even if they are not young, they have already surpassed the elders by a lot.

They also cited the fact that the holy grandfather came to the throne at the age of eight, and now the prince is just listening to the government.

Fourth master looked calm, but was very satisfied in his heart.

Although he always finds faults with these two brats sometimes, his son is naturally the best.

He dared to say that none of the sons and daughters of these ministers could catch up with the education given to the princes by the royal family.

It's enough to see that all their brothers are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

Listening to the government earlier is a good thing for him and the country. As for those pedantic legal systems, there is no need to rigidly follow them.

In fact, the things he has decided must be done regardless of whether others oppose or agree.

Putting things up is just to inform them and let them prepare in their hearts.

The next day, Hongyun and Hongdan began to go to court.

The ministers who were still complaining the day before saw that the two little princes were so gracious, and they answered the emperor's questions fluently, calmly and decently, and couldn't say a word.

In this way, because of the selfishness of the fourth master, Hongyun and Hongdan became the first princes to come to the court since the founding of the Qing Dynasty.

The historian recorded the annals one by one, and objectively evaluated that although Emperor Yongzheng disregarded the minister's advice, the overall judgment of the supervisor was indeed biased towards the emperor.

The princes are all in court, and the fourth master is more concerned about politics and economics.

In the third year of Yongzheng, Li Weiyi was promoted by him to be the governor of Zhejiang, because he handled government affairs well. Now in the fourth year of Yongzheng, Nian Gengyao has been beaten to death, and Longkodo's official career is also shaky, but Li Wei is on the rise.

Now Li Wei is concurrently serving as the salt envoy of the two Zhejiang provinces, sorting out the salt administration, investigating and dealing with illegal salt trafficking.

He had done this before, but it was only carried out on a small scale. Seeing that he had handled it well, the fourth master gave him an important position and asked him to carry it out in two rivers, seize smuggled salt as soon as possible, and increase the country's economic income.

But obviously, the place is too big to manage. The fourth master wanted to hurry up, but he really couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry. Even a wicked person like Li Wei scratched his head when he met the big salt lord in Zhejiang.

The Qing Dynasty divided more than a dozen salt areas, and the Zhejiang salt area was one of them. Zhejiang salt was marketed in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, and Jiangxi provinces.However, due to the rigidity of the imperial court system, in places where the Zhejiang Salt District was close to the Lianghuai Salt District, they could not buy the nearby cheap Lianghuai salt, but could only eat the expensive Zhejiang salt.

Those salt lords grasped this point and became more presumptuous.

Li Wei came up, unlike other officials' Huairou dredging policy, he directly confronted him!
The tyranny made those salt lords dumbfounded, and they became even more provocative, as if they expected that the court would have nothing to do with them.
