Yinshi two quarters!
Outside the Meridian Gate, the cold wind howled.
Beijing officials took carriages one after another, arrived at the palace, and then walked to the Meridian Gate.
The howling cold wind was like a bone-scraping steel knife, shaking the lanterns hanging on the city tower and the stone lamps on the roadside, and the torches in the guards' hands were shaken violently.
The officials and gentlemen are wrapped in thick cloaks and windproof hats. Careful people can find that no matter their rank or power, everyone wears plain clothes.
The cloak is made of wool, and the hat is made of mouse fur.
Some wealthy families in Beijing can also afford to wear this attire. . .
The attitude of the Beijing officials is obvious. Everyone is poor and lives on food and clothing. Where can they get money to donate?
At this time, there was still half an hour before the court meeting, and the officials got together in twos and threes, discussing in low voices.
The censor who supervised the order turned a blind eye to this.
"Every day at the court meeting, His Majesty is determined to torment us."
"Yes, otherwise, just donate some silver, it's not too much."
"Your Majesty Yang is confused. He said that we are only asked to donate three months' salary, but it is actually a bluff plan by His Majesty. I just want to ask you, when the time comes, Wang Shoufu offered to donate one year's salary. Will you respond or not?" Response? Do you really think this donation is enough? It¡¯s just to pry my mouth away first.¡±
"ThisMaster Zhu is right, and Yang understands."
"We must not let go of this matter, just like what we discussed yesterday. As long as we follow the steps of the princes and don't let go or give in, His Majesty will torture us for a few more days at most."
"Hey, my official has nothing to worry about. The house I live in is still rented. The capital has already started to lack food. I will donate my salary later. How will I survive?"
"We are the same as Mr. Zhao, we are all scholars with two sleeves."
"My lords, it's freezing cold, I'm not feeling well, I really can't take it anymore. Why don't you just donate according to His Majesty's wishes."
This is an official who is in a wait-and-see state, and his heart is biased towards donations.
The officials around him immediately showed an angry expression: "Master Li is too confused. There are constant snowstorms everywhere, and there is a shortage of food, charcoal, and money. With our meager salary, how can we fill the treasury?"
"Your Majesty Li only saw what was in front of him, but he didn't think any deeper. The reason why the princes gritted their teeth was really a precedent. If there is one, there will be two, and if there is two, there will be three. After a while, His Majesty is short of money, come again Donate, shall I drink the northwest wind?"
"Such a simple truth, but the concubine Xu Xinian couldn't understand it."
"Where is it that I can't understand it, it's obviously just pretending to be deaf and dumb, just to please His Majesty."
"This son is self-righteous. Relying on his cousin's prestige, he is defiant. Recently, he is next to Mr. Shoufu, and he is a little bit flattered."
"Hey, don't be a son of man."
One of the officials spat hard.
? On the other side, Zhang Xingying, who was promoted to the censor of Youdu, slowly approached Liu Hong, and sighed in a low voice:
"Your Highness has a very good idea. If you can call on the literati to donate, and then the local government will call on the gentry to donate. With the money and food, the disaster will be greatly alleviated and the refugees will be curbed.
"As long as we get through this winter and the people see the hope of spring plowing, they won't make trouble everywhere.
"It's a pity that your majesty has just ascended the throne, and his prestige is not enough, and his foundation is not stable. Wei Gong has passed away, otherwise he will join hands with Wang Shoufu to promote donations.
"Nowwell, the people under our hands are also dissatisfied."
His Royal Highness Huaiqing urged Xu Erlang to play, but they, the former Wei Party members, didn't know about it at first.
Afterwards, after discussing with several key personnel, they always believed that this plan was difficult to achieve and would encounter great obstacles.
First of all, it is extremely difficult to extract wool from the pockets of civil and military officials. Everyone is from the period of Emperor Yuan Jing, how can we not know each other's virtues?
Eating and taking cards, making money without limit.
Is it really the late emperor's fault that Dafeng's national strength has been weakened to this day? The first emperor's upper beam was not straight, and the people below followed suit.
Usually it is too late to make money, so one can imagine how much resistance there will be if one expects to get a fortune from these old gluttons.
Secondly, who knows when this "cold disaster" that almost crushed the last straw of the camel's camel will end, it's only been a month of winter, and the colder time has not yet come.
When the time comes, the court still has no money, what will His Majesty do? Another call for donations?
In the end, this is essentially a court game.
Following the princes into the palace, Emperor Yongxing arrived a few minutes later.
He sat on the dragon chair, looked down at the ministers, and said loudly:
"There are serious disasters in various places. As the king of a country, I am very sad. Do you have a good plan for disaster relief?"
The princes and nobles below showed expressions of "knowing this earlier", and put forward a few suggestions without any pain, such as reducing or exempting taxes, calling on the squires to donate, and so on.
Emperor Yongxing said:
"Since it is necessary to donate money, it is reasonable for the court to set an example, and for the lovers to set an example. In this way, the squires can be willing, and they can also warn the officials to prevent them from filling their own pockets."
Only the squires are called to donate. Not surprisingly, most of the money will be exploited layer by layer.
Several party leaders and nobles came out one after another in tacit understanding, shouting "no".
At this time, Dali Siqing appeared on the stage, and said in a deep voice:
"Your Majesty, corruption prevails in the court, and corruption is prevalent, so that the treasury is empty, and donations can cure the symptoms but not the root cause. If you want to relieve disasters, you must first clean up the evil spirits."
After the voice fell, the militant, the household department came out of the matter, and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xu New Year, a concubine of the Imperial Academy, for accepting bribes."
No one in the hall spoke, and no one questioned what kind of bribes the concubine of the Imperial Academy could accept. It seemed that such a thing had already been expected.
The Ministry of Officials came out of the matter and said loudly:
"Your Majesty, I want to impeach Xu New Year, a concubine of the Imperial Academy, for accepting bribes under the banner of Wang Shoufu."
Then, the six ministries came out one after another to impeach Xu New Year.
Those who can stand in the Golden Luan Hall are all veterans, and they immediately understand what tricks these people are playing.
This is their counterattack.
?Taking Xu Erlang as the starting point, he rebelled against Emperor Yongxing and Wang Shoufu.
Doing this will not completely anger Emperor Yongxing and Wang Shoufu, but also give his own attitude and tell Emperor Yongxing that we will kill your assault pawns one by one.
At the same time, he tactfully warned Wang Shoufu that although the royal party is powerful, it has not yet reached the point where it can overwhelm the sky with one hand. Besides, there are voices of disapproval in the royal party.
Do you have any gifts for the new year?
The answer is yes.
As the future son-in-law of Wang Shoufu, members of the royal party often gave him gifts, but in the officialdom, if he received a gift, he was his own.
If he wants to integrate into the royal party as a student of Yunlu Academy, he can't be too lofty.
Although Xu New Year turned down many expensive gifts, this cannot change the fact.
"In the officialdom, keeping one's body clean is good enough to accomplish nothing, and being in harmony with others is easy to become a target for political enemies to attack and annihilate when the turmoil is at the forefront. Therefore, the core problem is that the power is not strong enough.
"The problem to be solved is: attract more people."
Xu New Year suddenly realized.
Some of the princes in the hall were observing the expression of Emperor Yongxing, and some were examining Wang Shoufu.
See how they respond.
If Emperor Yongxing sheltered Xu Nian, they would have other tricks, and if Wang Shoufu stepped forward, they would have other tricks, such as pulling him into the water and impeaching him together.
Now they are the dominant party.
No one noticed, Liu Hong came out of the line slowly, bowed and said:
"Your Majesty, I believe that what the Minister of Dali Temple said is reasonable, the treasury is empty, and taxes are difficult to collect, all because of corruption and bribery.
"Therefore, I ask Your Majesty to strictly investigate all officials and rectify the atmosphere."
Interesting All the ministers and nobles in the hall looked at Liu Hong together.
This is to take advantage of the opportunity to fish in troubled waters. Liu Hong was regarded as Wei Yuan's "successor" in the court and took over Wei Yuan's team. Nearly 50%.
The vacated position was divided among the royal party and various factions.
In officialdom, this is an appropriate concession.
Now that Liu Hong is standing up, it is obvious that the former Wei Party, which is in charge of Yushitai and Daganren, wants to take advantage of the opportunity.
Emperor Yongxing smiled: "Liu Aiqing's words are reasonable, let's continue."
Liu Honglang said:
"Since the death of Duke Wei, the police officers have declined, and the ability of the ministers is not as good as that of Duke Wei. He has worked hard and lost energy. I would like to recommend someone to take over the office of the police officers in place of the ministers.
"To better monitor officials."
All the gentlemen were taken aback, this is not the line they imagined, Liu Hong actually put down his burden at this juncture and handed over the position of beating guard to others?
Emperor Yongxing pretended to be surprised: "Who does Liu Aiqing want to recommend?"
Liu Hong glanced at the princes and nobles who were either puzzled or vigilant, and said loudly:
"The silver gong who hit the watch before, Xu Qi'an!"
