Chapter 25: Take Back the Inner Library

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, the second assistant Li Dongyang, and the third assistant Xie Qian, the three cabinet ministers, also learned about this and looked depressed and angry.

Because Zhu Houzhao's behavior was simply slapping them in the face, the Ming Dynasty now praised the three of their cabinet masters for their excellent governance of the world and created a prosperous sign for the new emperor.

But now it has become a new emperor who wants to sell his property in order to marry the queen and to bury the emperor of the Daxing!

This directly proves their incompetence! It completely puts them in a crisis of trust, which is equivalent to denying their ability to assist in governing!

Li Dongyang, the second assistant to the cabinet, also sneered and said to Han Wen, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "This is not only saying that you are incompetent, but also saying that our cabinet is incompetent!"

"I just want to know who instigated His Majesty to go outside the palace to sell imperial property!" Liu Jian looked at Qin Dongyi, the censor of the city, with a blue face.

The city censor Qin Dongyi hurriedly said, "The emperor only saw an eunuch named Liu Jin beside His Majesty, talking in front of him."

"It's Liu Jin again!"

Xie Qian immediately came over: "Everyone, Xie said that this Liu Jin is an ordinary person. His Majesty was tempted by him to move out of the palace since he ascended the throne. Now he is tempted to go to the downtown area to do something about business! Liu Jin deliberately wanted to give the people a kind of harsh appearance of our rude father, and this person is punished!"

"Okay! The Master of the Pavilion and Secretary Han, it's not the time to talk about this now. Xu just wants to ask, what are you planning to do? You can't let Your Majesty keep doing this in public," Xu Jin, Secretary of the Ministry of War, asked hurriedly.

"What else can I do? Please bring your Majesty back!"

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian, first left Wenhua Hall, and the second assistant Li Dongyang, the third assistant Xie Qian, the Minister of Revenue Han Wen, the Minister of War Xu Jin, and the Censor of the City Qin Dongyi also followed.

At this time, Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, also learned about Zhu Houzhao's opening of the Royal Expo on the street, and hurried to the cabinet, which happened to run into Liu Jian, the chief minister of the cabinet, and others.

As soon as they met, Ma Wensheng didn't care about any etiquette and rushed up to ask Han Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue: "Mr. Han, you are a good minister! The emperor of the Daxing Dynasty worked hard for eighteen years and was extremely frugal. He should have accumulated countless silver. But now, His Majesty the New Emperor had to sell his imperial property on the street just as soon as he ascended the throne. As a minister, what face do you have to meet the late emperor in the future? Don't say that you have no face, Ma also has no face, and all the officials present have no face!"

Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue, looked helpless and said with a sad face: "Master Ma, Han admitted that he was incompetent and was in such a situation as a king and father. Han will write a resignation memorial tonight!"

Han Wen said this, and Ma Wensheng, the Minister of Personnel, did not force him anymore, but just snorted coldly.

The chief assistant of the cabinet, Liu Jian and others, also remained silent. They knew that Ma Wensheng was using this matter to force the Minister of Revenue Han Wen to resign from office and weaken the power of his cabinet. But now they can only let the Minister of Revenue Han Wen take the blame, because now everyone in the world knows that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was so poor that he sold his imperial property. Who made the Emperor so poor that the Emperor had no money has to blame for this. If the cabinet cannot take it, it can only let the Ministry of Revenue, which is responsible for the Ministry of Revenue, who is in charge of the world's finances.

Zhu Houzhao didn't know that his behavior of opening the Royal Expo forced a minister of the Ministry of Revenue to resign. He only knew that he had made a lot of money this time.

However, just as Zhu Houzhao was about to leave the Royal Expo, he saw a large group of officials running towards him.

Not only the officials, but also the eunuchs in the palace, the first ones were Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the seal of the Sili Supervisor, Zhang Zhao, the eunuch in charge of the imperial horse supervisor, and Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyiwei, and others.

The Jinyiwei is now under the control of the Dongchang, and the Dongchang is now Wang Yue's person. Wang Yue naturally knew about Zhu Houzhao's business in the street at this time, and cried more sadly than anyone else: "My emperor! Why are you doing this? You ask me to just ask the slaves to go to the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue to ask for it. Why bother yourself so much? How can you make me feel sorry for you!"

At the same time, Wang Yue also glared at Liu Jin and others fiercely: "Okay, Liu Jin, Zhang Yong, how do you guys accompany the emperor! Do you know what you are doing? I can't protect you at that time!"

When the people saw so many officials coming, they were so scared that they scattered.

Zhu Houzhao was also a little surprised: "This is strange. Could it be that they also came to participate in the Royal Expo?"

Only Liu Jin smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, this situation does not seem to be here to participate in the expo, but rather to provoke a rioter. They seem to be glaring at the servants."

The other eight tigers also nodded and looked at Zhu Houzhao with some fear.

"Don't be afraid. With me here, they dare not do anything to you. They just hold an expo. What's the point? I don't believe it. They dare to destroy me!"

After Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, she simply sat down and crossed her legs and pretended to be indifferent. She asked Wang Yue, the eunuch in charge of the Sili Supervisor, and Liu Jian, the chief assistant of the cabinet, who had arrived in front of her: "Wang Daban, Mr. Liu, what are you doing? Don't take good care of the world's affairs for me? Do you also want to buy something at my Royal Expo? I can buy it. I'll give you some cheaper."

Liu Jian and others thought that Your Majesty was cynical, so they didn't think much about it. Only Liu Jian hurriedly gave Zhu Houzhao a big gift: "Your Majesty, you are a body of gold. How can you do Tao Zhu in this downtown? I hope Your Majesty will correct your mind and understand the people's desire for governance, and return to the palace to manage the government."

"I didn't say I couldn't go back. I just opened a royal expo to make some money. You guys don't have to make a big fuss. I'm also for the Ming Dynasty. Now the court has no money, and I need money. Can't I, the emperor, find a way to make some money by myself?"

Zhu Houzhao asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it is the incompetent person who has caused Your Majesty to fall into such a situation. I am guilty of your Majesty. I hope Your Majesty will return to the palace to rest!" Han Wen, the Minister of Revenue, hurriedly accused of the crime.

"Your Majesty already has the treasury, and the people are raising it. Why do you need to do it personally? I'll ask Your Majesty to return to the palace?" At this time, Xie Qian, the third assistant to the cabinet, also said.

Zhu Houzhao was waiting for this sentence and hurriedly said, "Although I have the treasury, it is a bit inconvenient for me to spend money. Otherwise, I can go back now, but we have to decide what the treasury can no longer be managed by the treasury. I have to decide for myself, otherwise I will not be able to use my treasury

, At that time, the money will only be paid for by selling royal products!”

"Your Majesty, this matter is not possible. The inner treasury belongs to the Ministry of Revenue. The ancestral system is established by the Taizu period. The world's money and grain belong to the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Revenue will be collected and divided into the inner treasury. The ancestral system cannot be changed!"

Li Dongyang, the second assistant to the cabinet, hurriedly opposed.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian and others, also expressed their agreement. After all, they all understood that once the treasury did not belong to the Ministry of Revenue, they would not be able to reduce and exempt commercial taxes at will or embezzle the treasury, which would make the emperor's finances more free and unable to control the emperor.

"If we follow the organization, the cabinet originally had no right to vote and the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the rank of the emperor, would you really want to talk about the ancestral system with the emperor?"

Zhu Houzhao quietly gave Liu Jin a wink, and Liu Jin quickly answered for Zhu Houzhao. Liu Jian and others from the cabinet, Wang Yue, the Sili Supervisor, were speechless, but at the same time they hated Liu Jin even more.

At this time, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel Ma Wensheng also took the initiative to help Zhu Houzhao when he saw this: "Your Majesty, this matter should be decided by the Ministry of Revenue, and the Ministry of Revenue should be asked. If the Ministry of Revenue is willing, I will naturally have no objection. I believe that the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue will not want His Majesty to be in a dilemma because the internal treasury is limited by the Ministry of Revenue."

"Han Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. What do you think?" Zhu Houzhao had already asked Han Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

Han Wen, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, was already disheartened at this time. He only hoped that Zhu Houzhao would go back early and not make him feel ashamed. He hurriedly nodded and said, "I have no objection!"

"Your Majesty, I have no objection. The inner treasury is originally the imperial use, and the Ministry of Revenue is only responsible for it. It is naturally reasonable for Your Majesty to take it back!" The Minister of Personnel Ma Wensheng also immediately stated. He had guessed that Zhu Houzhao's real purpose was to separate the inner treasury and naturally followed him. After all, he was still waiting for Zhu Houzhao to let himself be the chief assistant in the future.

At this time, Xu Jin, the Minister of War, had already been in love with Liu Jin in private and became a member of Zhongjun Society, so he naturally expressed no objection, so the only cabinet was left to insist.

"Dear Masters, do you still want Your Majesty to sell goods on the street? If you insist on doing this, where will you trap the king and father?" Jiao Fang, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, suddenly shouted loudly at this time.

The chief minister of the cabinet, Liu Jian, turned over to look at Jiao Fang angrily, thinking that there was not much silver in the treasury anyway, as long as your Majesty is not allowed to impose commercial taxes, the treasury will not have much impact on your Majesty. After all, letting the emperor go back is the most important thing now. So Liu Jian sighed helplessly: "I have no objection to you!"

Because the cabinet chief Liu Jian expressed his agreement, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others were not able to refute it anymore, so they had to agree.
