Chapter 641 Poke with a sword(1/2)
.Beijing is still lively, but in the Forbidden City, it seems relatively dull.
Yang Jingsheng continued to live his career as an emperor every day, with big and big court discussions, criticizing and revising books, meeting people, discussing things, and considering issues. These are basically Yang Jingsheng's life. If there are exceptions, he would be "get off work" to coax his son and have fun. Sometimes, life is not as rich and colorful as ordinary people imagine.
This day was the time for Xiao Dynasty to discuss.
Yang Jie went to Wenhua Palace as usual, and everyone kowtowed and bowed as usual, and everything was almost the same as before. Yang Jie looked at these people who were as usual, but they were a little different. There was a little fear and awe on their faces and eyes. Looking at them, there were fewer figures, and Cao Yubian still did not come to court.
Yang Jing only thought about this issue for two or three seconds before jumping over it. There are more important things to do today.
All etiquette passed like the day, and today's business began.
"What are the things happening today?" Yang Jing asked lightly. With his current prestige, he could speak more casually. The people here are all old people, so there is no need to be too polite.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Shi Fenglai was still the first to stand up and speak.
"Tell me, the chief assistant." Yang Jingwei said that these things that had been arranged long ago were just a formality. It was really meaningless and there was no challenge! Yang Jingwei was a little embarrassed again.
"Abide by the order! Report to Your Majesty, Zhang Xianyong, the Zhengyi Zhenren, is now a good example. He can overcome birth, old age, sickness and death, prolong life, and protect the country's fortune for hundreds of years of Ming Dynasty. I think he should be built by Zhengyi Zhenren, recruit apprentices to inherit and carry forward this path, and protect the country's fortune with the great way." Shi Fenglai said while presenting a memorial.
When everyone heard that this was the case, they lowered their eyes and kept silent. This was really expected. With Zhang Xianyong's reputation, reputation and merit, it was really not a big deal for him to worship him. It would be strange if he didn't practice it. Everyone knows that Zhang Xianyong was promoted by the emperor, but this matter is enough to show the emperor's power.
"Oh, this is the matter! What do you think about the Qing family? Should we practice or not?" Yang Jie scanned the people in the hall and said lightly. After Wang Chengen sent the memorial, he just flipped it casually and glanced at it for a few seconds.
Everyone's eyes were hanging down, so what's more?
The memorial book went around the ministers and finally someone spoke.
"Report to Your Majesty, I think that Zhengyi Zhenren is a Taoist man. The way he has proved now is for the people of the world. This Taoist temple should be built..." Some people could not resist the emperor's eyes and had to speak.
"Report to Your Majesty, I think it is necessary to build it, and to build it largely, and to recruit disciples to make breakthroughs in this area as soon as possible to prove more great ways, so as to benefit the people of the world." Someone came out to ting.
Basically, they all agree, but no one objected, and they really couldn't say anything about it. Now Zhang Xianyong's reputation outside is so high, everyone is called "gods" and "gods". If rumors of "gods" in the court are rumored, I'm afraid many people will hate the court. Why? It's very simple, they all expect that Zhang Xianyong can prolong everyone's life. If you are not good to Zhang Xianyong, it's a good thing for everyone.
Yang Jing glanced around and said those who should speak. Seeing that no one objected, he was ready to finish the matter. Thinking about it, it seemed that there were fewer people. Look at it again. It was because there was no opposition Cao Yubian. Without this old man, there was no meaning in the court. No one fought with him. Yang Jing felt that the only fun was deprived of it, which was really boring.
"Since all the Qing family think it should be built to help Zhenren Zhang prove his truth and benefit the people, then build it. Just build a bigger one, and the Ministry of Revenue can be there?" Yang Jing said boredly. No one fights with him, so there is no motivation. It is really boring.
"I'm here." Bi Ziyan quickly stood up.
"The Ministry of Revenue still has money, how much can it be given? I think that since I want to support Zhang Zhenren to prove the truth, I am afraid that just building a house is not a matter of business. I have also heard from Zhang Zhenren that his proved the truth requires a lot of materials, and the expenses required are also amazing. I think that in addition to building a house for him, he also has to allocate some of the expenses required for him to prove the truth every year. Otherwise, Zhang Zhenren would be a coincidence and would be difficult for him to cook without rice. So I would like to ask the Ministry of Revenue, in addition to building a house, how much can Zhang Zhenren spend on making the prove the truth every year?" Yang Jing said that Yang Jing did not tell Bi Ziyan about this matter, which was considered a test of Bi Ziyan's ability.
As soon as the emperor said this, everyone quickly raised their heads and looked at the emperor with their eyes. It seemed that there was no such note in the memorial book! If the court gave the silver to Zhang Xianyonghua, it seemed unreasonable! This has never happened. The court has tightened its belt every year and still had money to Zhang Xianyong?
"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue still has some surplus. It is not difficult to build a temple and get 100,000 silver coins, but it costs every year, this..." Bi Ziyan was really embarrassed. The emperor had never discussed this matter with him. Now he suddenly said that he would ask the court to pay Zhang Xianyong for every year to prove the "Tao". This is beyond Bi Ziyan's thinking, which has never happened before.
"Hahaha..." Yang Jing smiled. It was not that Yang Jing wanted to make things difficult for Bi Ziyan, but that he was cultivating Bi Ziyan, cultivating this group of people, cultivating them to invest, and learning to invest in some basic things related to the national economy and people's livelihood. For example, the basic science in the future, the transportation in the future, and many things in the future must be invested at the national level. If the country does not invest, it is almost impossible to rely on it to grow on its own. If the Ming Dynasty's existing thinking and policies, we will always be living a life.
This is not possible. Without the country to maintain a long investment in these basic things, how could the country prosper? Although Yang Jingwei is doing it now, Yang Jingwei also knows that it is better to form a system early on the day when he is finished. It is better to cultivate a group of people with this concept and consciousness early on. Otherwise, if he is finished that day, these things will be done immediately and everything will be wasted. Besides, he is more and more things he has to take care of, and he will always be unable to do so.
When everyone saw the emperor laughing, they raised their heads and looked at the emperor.
"...You all need to learn to invest! You have to learn to spend money. If you invest a silver coin in Zhang Zhenren today, you may get two silver coins and three silver coins in the future. Some things can only be developed and strengthened by the court. As the saying goes, if you are willing to give up, you will only get it if you give up!... Hahaha, if the Ministry of Revenue does not intend to invest money to Zhang Zhenren every year, I will pay the money..." Yang Jing said with a smile. After saying that, he glanced at himself with his eyes.
Bi Ziyan was so anxious. This matter had never happened. Logically speaking, it was not worthy of Zhang Xianyong, but the emperor wanted to give it to him. Bi Ziyan was embarrassed, and what made Bi Ziyan even more embarrassed was that the emperor talked about investment. According to the emperor's previous investment records, it seemed that he had not made any mistakes. If he had to calculate this, should the court add one shot? Or, should the Ministry of Revenue add one shot? In the future, as the emperor said, one silver coin turned into two silver coins? This is much more interesting than collecting taxes, just like he put a portion of the money in the bank for interest.
Not only Bi Zi is anxious, but many people are also anxious. Now everyone is very impressed by the emperor's methods of making money. When they hear the emperor talk about making money, they have longed their ears. They don't make money themselves, and they also have to ask their subordinates about the news and find some ways. If they don't know anything, don't know anything, and have no way to do anything. This is called how the people below can keep up with it? I heard that the emperor was talking about investing in Zhang Xianyong. Ordinary people have no way to do it. They are anxious. This thing is either the emperor or the court, and it seems that there is no other person to do it!
"...I dare to ask Your Majesty, I wonder how much money your Majesty will allocate to Zhengyi Zhenren every year?" Bi Ziyan gritted his teeth and asked.
Everyone's necks were stretched, and it seemed that there was no ordinary person's show!
"Haha... To be honest, I think that 100,000 silver coins are not too much, and a million is not too much. This depends on how much money the Ministry of Revenue can pay..." Yang Jing said with a smile. In fact, Yang Jing also opened up money to Zhang Xianyong, and never shortened Zhang Xianyong's expenses. As for how much you can earn from Zhang Xianyong, this may not be necessary. It's just that many things must be invested by the state, such as basic science, infrastructure construction, basic education, basic medical care, etc., so that the shadow of the country can be less lost? If you don't learn it now, when will you learn it? It's not possible to spend a year and a year.
"Report to Your Majesty, the Ministry of Revenue can take out about 50,000 silver coins every year to support Zhengyi Zhenren to prove the truth..." Bi Ziyan gritted his teeth and decided to use 50,000 silver coins to test the waters. No matter what, he would take up the seat first, and then asked: "...I wonder...How much profit can the Ministry of Revenue get?"
"Hahaha, okay, the Ministry of Revenue will pay 50,000 yuan, and I will give the rest. Haha, there will definitely be achievements in the future. When the people of the world enjoy the blessings created by the court, they will naturally be grateful to the court. As for the benefits, it is naturally the people's feelings. The more they invest, the more they will gain..." Yang Jing laughed.
"..." Bi Ziyan's face turned dark immediately. He made a loss-making business, and 50,000 silver coins were wasted, but he could not hear a sound.
Everyone looked at Bi Ziyan strangely, looking at the emperor, where was this singing?
"Hahaha..." Yang Kai looked at Bi Ziyan's appearance and laughed for a while.
"You all should look at the long-term. The benefits of this matter will naturally appear in the future. Don't be so pessimistic..." Yang Jing couldn't help but want to laugh. He was really not sincere and self-disciplined. In fact, he was also giving Zhang Xianyong a bridle for Taoism and putting Taoism under the management of the court. If you don't say it completely, you can manage Taoism completely. At least you must have the ability to speak. Don't make the Taoist dominant and ignore the court, that would be a tragedy. Of course, you might be fine when you are alive, but when you die, you can't say it. By then, the Taoist reputation is too high and the court can't afford to offend it, that would be a tragedy.
The ministers were ashamed, and they really couldn't figure out the disturbances inside. What kind of trouble is this?
Bi Ziyan even lowered his head. This business was a loss and was "caught" by the emperor.
"Okay, that's all for this matter. Do you have any other things in your family?" Yang Jing smiled for a while and said, "This is definitely not to make Bi Ziyan look ugly, but Yang Jing was inspired by his feelings. Now more and more things are in his own way. Good or good, he can be arbitrary and efficient. But it has to be said that this is a big hidden danger. Once he makes a mistake or an accident, it will be a big tragedy. The Ming Dynasty's regime has not yet learned how to manage the country effectively, but I am afraid that he will return to his old career. The things he created are considered to be the end of the political situation. The Ming Dynasty immediately returned to the old path and relied on himself.
The things I support fell apart in an instant. Not to mention the distant ones, now I have eliminated the "eunuch" and no longer accepted eunuchs in the palace. In other words, as time goes by, the last group of eunuchs around me gradually grow old and die, and the eunuchs I rely on will become the past. Whether it is taxes or business, they must be handed over to normal people. This transition is necessary, and it may take decades, but you have to prepare in advance. No one is astonished, and no modern country is governed by eunuchs. Everything is not planned.
The ministers don’t understand what the emperor said. Since the emperor has talked about the next thing, let’s continue to talk about the next thing.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report." Han Du said immediately when he saw that no one had said anything.
"Oh, what's the matter with Han Qing's family?" Yang Jing asked. After looking at Han Dong, he felt that Han Dong was quite fast.
"Report to Your Majesty, I have two things to say." Han Yu said immediately.
"Oh, two, those two?" Yang Jingwei heard it.
"Report to Your Majesty, although there are two, in fact, one is still one. I think that now, whether it is the expansion of sea, maritime trade, or sea fishing, it is becoming more and more important and prosperous. There are more and more boating on the sea. I think that it is time to build some lighthouses in important ports and important areas on the sea to point out the direction for sailing ships, lead and shelter the passing ships; the second one is precisely because of the increasing number of ships on the sea, the expansion of sea, and the maritime trade is also increasing, so warships need to be escorted. For example, today, the fleet has been helped to restore the country of Ryukyu, but because there is no military port, it is very inconvenient. I think that some military ports should be built for the fleet to repair..." Han Du said his story and handed over a memorial.
This incident immediately attracted a lot of trouble. In the past, Han Yu opposed the tax payers and the emperor fought with them for profit at sea. Now, it is better to take the initiative to build a lighthouse and a military port on the sea. This is strange, but it is not surprising to think about it. Didn’t Han Yu turn around? This matter is naturally normal.
Yang Jie also pretended to read the memorial, and then asked someone to read it.
"Do you guys, do you have any ideas?" Yang Jie started asking questions after he finished reading the memorial.
The imperial party members did not make any noise, and many people began to discuss it again. Han Da turned around and was very quick. He got on the emperor's ship so quickly and took the initiative to "fight south and north" for the emperor. From opposing the emperor's "competing for profit with the people" at sea to fighting for the emperor's military port and lighthouse, this transformation is really big, and many people look at him with admiration.
Some people were interested in opposing it, but judging from this situation, I didn't know how to oppose it. The imperial party on the side was firmly sitting in Mount Tai, and Han Du's group of people were ready to go. The rest were either so-called or had no leader. If you want to refute it, you could not even find someone who said decent words.
"I object..." Someone couldn't help but shouted.
"Oh, what do you have to say in the Qing family?" Yang Jie asked.
"..." The official was approved by the emperor. He wanted to talk a little, but when he spoke, he couldn't say it anymore. After a few times, he kept his face red. How can he object? He said that the people were tired and the money was hurt? The emperor could stop him by paying money with one word? It's not nonsense? He said that the emperor competed for profit with the people? This was proposed by Han, not the emperor. He said that the court competed for profit with the people, but he did not ask the people to collect money. It really made no sense. This would only benefit the people. The various common rhetoric used in the past were not used at this time. Use a new rhetoric? Where is the new rhetoric?
"Report to Your Majesty, I think this matter has been going slowly and shouldn't be done so impatiently. It's really unnecessary to build so many lighthouses at once, but slowly, it's time to build a little a year. After several years, there will be a lighthouse, and you will have to spend so much money at once..." The official held it in for a long time and finally told the reason.
"Well..." Yang Jie wanted to laugh, but didn't laugh, and said he knew.
"Report to Your Majesty, I think it shouldn't be. Your Majesty wants to build a military port, but you want to make a big fight? Your Majesty, be cautious! When the war is together, people will surely suffer. Your Majesty must not use weapons for a moment of speed!" Someone stood up and shouted loudly. Standing on the basis of the big fight, there seemed to be a powerful cry.
This minister said this, which attracted many supporters and yelled again.
The imperial party did not move, and Han Yu seemed to be in a dilemma. Yang Jing suppressed his hands and was about to speak. When the ministers saw the emperor pressing his hands, they immediately calmed down and listened to what the emperor said.
"When it comes to using weapons and swords, I think so. It's not that I want to make a big move, but someone put the knife on my Ming's neck and on my head. If I don't make any preparations for response, I am afraid that I will be even more uneasy in the future. I think it's necessary to build a military port and a navy army on the sea. Things must be prevented from happening, or to make up for the failure..." Yang Jing said lightly. He didn't expect that at this time, there were still people who persuaded themselves in this regard. If this was the case, they could still get the support of a group of people. Yang Jing was speechless, and I didn't know what some people were thinking about in their minds.
"...I won't say it's far away. A few years ago, Japan landed in North Korea. Although it was against North Korea and its vassal states, it might not be unwilling to plan our country in the future. He could fight with our country, but he had a little respect for our country? In order to save North Korea, our country had a lot of elite troops. Although it won, it was also a miserable victory. It consumed all my savings over the years of Ming Dynasty. The rise of the Eastern Barbarians may not have nothing to do with this. If it weren't for the fact that our country's elite troops had lost too much and their savings were consumed too much, how could the Eastern Barbarians rise? Let's talk about the closer ones, the Japanese
The country occupied another vassal state of the Ming Dynasty. What is this? It is said that Japan has a wolf-like ambition, but it is wrong? This kind of wolf-like thing should not be guarded against? Fighting North Korea this year, occupying Ryukyu next year, and the next year, it will be my Forbidden City. I think it is very necessary to guard against Japan. It is best to dismember Japan to eliminate the future troubles of the Ming Dynasty..." Yang Jing said calmly. By this time, fighting with the war was almost a foregone conclusion. Some people said this. Yang Jing was also very annoyed and prepared to teach these people a lesson.
"This..., but Your Majesty, the labor force mobilizes people and always consumes the wealth and ointment of the people. If you can stop moving weapons, it is the best. Your Majesty should convince people with reason and virtue..." The minister insisted.
"Big partner..." Yang Kai was furious and had no intention of arguing with these people. He was preparing to educate this person with facts.
"I am here." Wang Chengen agreed.
"Get my whip and sword." Yang Jing ordered.
"...I obey the order!" Wang Chengen was surprised for a moment before agreeing, horse whip and sword, is it the emperor going to kill someone? Wang Chengen was a little surprised, but it didn't look like it! The emperor's face was normal and he didn't get angry. It didn't look like he was going to kill someone. The emperor was going to kill someone in this dispute?
The ministers were also surprised. Isn’t the emperor so kind? Why did he have to use his sword?
Sun Chengzong looked at the emperor, stammered, but still didn't say anything.
The minister who insisted on saying no was so scared that his face turned pale. What's wrong? Didn't he say that the emperor is good and tingly easy to talk to? No matter how much he fights, he will not be in danger of his life? Didn't he say that he didn't even have a spanking? Why did he get on the sword?
After a while, Wang Chengen had brought these two things.
"Your Majesty, I am ready." Wang Chengen said.
"Oh, okay, Da Cang, go to this Qing family..." Yang Jiefang said.
All the ministers were shocked. Is this going to kill someone? Or is Wang Chengen taking action? The minister's face became even whiter.
"Go back to Your Majesty, I am already here." Wang Chengen stood beside the minister with a white face and reported to the emperor.
"Okay, great companion, you shook hands with this Qing family, bowed to him and bowed..." Yang Jinge ordered.
"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen agreed immediately, and a little eunuch came immediately to help Wang Chengen carry the plate.
"Mr. Zhang, your majesty's order..." Wang Chengen stretched out his hand openly to shake hands with the minister.
"..." The man's face turned pale, and he stretched out his hand with a little stiffness, shook hands with Wang Chengen.
Everyone was confused.
"Brother, please poke the Qing family's stomach with a whip... Haha, don't use force, so as not to poke the Qing family..." Seeing that the two of them had finished shaking hands, Yang Jie said again.
"I obey the order!" Wang Chengen agreed, picked up the horse whip and poked the man's stomach gently.
Everyone was even more suspicious.
The minister who had just turned pale was better now. It seems that the emperor did not intend to deal with him, otherwise he would not have poked him so gently.
After doing all this, Wang Chengen turned around again, facing the emperor, and seeing what imperial decree the emperor had.
"Big partner." Yang Jingwei said again.
To be continued...
