Wang Hong's words really shocked the officials in the palace. After hearing this, everyone looked at the old man with admiration.
You know, in recent times, the emperor's attitude towards science and education has actually been very obvious.
The role of the Kedao should be to deal with the lower ones, not the top. To put it bluntly, in the emperor’s view, the role of the Kedao officials should focus on supervising all civil and military officials for corruption and lawlessness, rather than spending their whole day
Provided advice and guidance on the emperor’s family affairs and government orders.
This point is extremely obvious in the secret memorial system of the previous Kedao reform.
Because of this, all the science and technology officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate have been very well-behaved in the past year. After all, with the lessons learned from those previous mistakes, no one wants to be dismissed just because of a piece of advice.
Official positions are never used.
However, there will always be a few foolish young people in the court, such as the one in front of you. You must know that the two things he just said are both promoted by the emperor.
Let’s talk about Prince Dai’s Mansion first. Even if we don’t mention the Emperor, Prince Dai alone is not someone to be trifled with. When the Prince Dai moved the feudal vassal, there was no objection from everyone in the court. However, the kings worked together and passed the matter in the court.
The Hubu was under pressure to delay the construction of the palace, but in the end, the Prince Dai personally went to block the door of the Hubu, and it was the emperor who intervened to calm the matter down.
As for Huangzhuang, it is even more involved. On the surface, it is run by the mining tax eunuch, but it is the feudal king who pays for it, and there is the emperor's instructions behind it. Such a huge force, how can it be said casually in the court?
Can you stop after just a few sentences?
Not seeing Yu Qian and Yu Shaobao, who were deeply favored, made the emperor angry. Even in the end, the more he objected, the emperor decided to let him supervise the matter. This shows how important this matter is in the emperor's heart.
When Wang Hong opened his mouth like this, he hit the emperor's sore spot. He was truly worthy of being the person who dared to start a fight at the great court meeting.
Looking at the emperor's expression, he was obviously unhappy. He narrowed his eyes and looked at Wang Hong, with a hint of danger in his eyes.
"What Wang Qing's family said is reasonable. It is indeed inappropriate to carry out large-scale construction during such a catastrophic time. However, the transfer of vassals on behalf of the king is a matter of clear decree. If the order is changed overnight, where is the face of the court?"
The next moment, the emperor's voice sounded, which was quite calm. It had to be said that the emperor under normal conditions could always discuss matters calmly with his courtiers.
Even though Wang Hong blatantly took the opportunity to cause trouble, the emperor did not get angry in the end and just continued to reason.
"As for the construction of Prince Dai's Mansion, it is indeed very expensive. However, this matter was approved by the Ministry of Revenue. Last month, King Dai just gave me a memorial, saying that he had demolished Prince Dai's Mansion in Datong City.
7788, all the available materials have been transported to Zhangzhou. Next month, he will bring his wife to Beijing to express his gratitude. If the construction of the Dai Palace is stopped at this moment, then where can I go to build another palace in a short time?
, let’s live with Dai Wang’s family?”
The emperor said these words with a smile, and there was obviously a hint of joking in his tone, as if he wanted to relieve the dull atmosphere in the palace.
However, Wang Hong had no intention of letting it go and continued.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that moving the feudal vassal involves a lot of work and cannot be accomplished in one day. What's more, I believe that even if the king of the vassal has demolished the royal palace, he will not be without a place to live. Now is the time when the great power of the vassal
On the occasion of the disaster, as a member of the royal family, Prince Dai should set an example for the country."
"What's more, I don't want to stop this matter completely. I just implore your majesty to postpone this matter and use the money and food from the national treasury for the people. This will be the blessing of all people."
Seeing the unwilling Wang Hong, Zhu Qiyu also had a headache.
This is a person with a stubborn temper, and he is different from ordinary censors. Not to mention his reputation in Shilin and the court, just speaking of his position, he is the censor of the Zuo Deputy City. An official of this level,
Participation is no longer among the restrictions imposed by the last reform of science and education.
Therefore, if he really wanted to hold on to such a matter, Zhu Qiyu couldn't forcefully refuse to agree. After thinking for a moment, his eyes fell on Chen Yi next to him.
At this time, someone needs to speak for him as the emperor. Looking at Shen Yi who lowered his head silently, Zhu Qiyu said.
"Wang Hong reported to the Ministry of Household Affairs that he would reduce money and food and temporarily stop the construction of the Prince's Palace. What does Shen Qing think?"
Ah this...
Although he had expected it in his heart, Chen Yi still had a bitter look on his face when he heard that he was called out. What should he say?
The matter of Wang Hong's participation in the music is actually a result of the dissatisfaction among the ministers in recent times.
Don't think that the matter in Huangzhuang is over like this. The emperor can issue a decree to force the matter through, or he can demote the troublemaking ministers out of the capital.
However, this could not stop the dissatisfaction among the officials, so whenever they had the opportunity, they would immediately make a fuss about this matter.
At this time, if he helps the emperor, he will inevitably be criticized by the ministers, but if he does not speak for the emperor, hiss...
However, Chen Yi is an old fox-level figure after all. To this day, he is not too close to anyone in the court, and it is not just the emperor's connivance.
Facing the gazes of the ministers and the emperor, Shen Shangshu pondered for a moment and then spoke.
"Your Majesty clearly knows that it is too early to discuss whether to stop the acting prince's palace. Although the disaster is serious, the specific number of victims, how much food is needed, and how much needs to be allocated from the national treasury, all need to be verified separately by the Ministry of Revenue.
, Your Majesty, please rest assured that I will handle all the details as soon as possible and present them to the emperor."
Since it is difficult to offend both parties, the drag-and-drop technique is naturally the most useful.
In the current situation, Shen Yi could neither help the emperor to convince the treasury that the money and food would be enough to support disaster relief and build the Prince's Palace, nor could he join forces with Wang Hong to force the emperor. Therefore, the best way was to practice Tai Chi.
However, I know how to use the procrastination trick, but the most skillful thing is how to use it.
Shen Yi's words seemed simple, but in fact, they not only delayed the time, but more importantly, he not only proposed a situation where the specific situation was unknown, but also took care of the next things.
On Tobe's head.
In this way, if Wang Hong wants to talk about the Dai Wangfu, he must first ask the Ministry of Household Affairs for detailed disaster information. In fact, if Shen Yi just said that the treasury has money or no money, Wang Hong would have the position to refute him.
However, he took the errands and responsibilities on himself instead, so Wang Hong could not continue to pester him.
As expected, after hearing this, Wang Hong frowned, as if he wanted to say something, but looking at Shen Yi's heavy look, he had to swallow his words.
After such a commotion, Zhu Qiyu didn't bother to ask others if they had any "good ideas". Anyway, these people would only add to the trouble, so he simply said no more and directly announced his withdrawal from the court.
However, the morning dynasty is over, but things will not end like this.
The ministers who were waiting to go to court had all dispersed. Shangshu Shen, who had already foreseen his fate, unexpectedly saw Huaien, who had arrived belatedly.
"Master Shen, Your Majesty has summoned you!"
Sure enough...
Shen Shangshu sighed silently in his heart and followed Huai En to the Qianqing Palace.
"See Your Majesty!"
Forgiveness, Zhu Qiyu changed into casual clothes, looked at the unwilling Shen Yi, and said directly without talking nonsense to him.
"Shen Qing, what do you think of what happened in court today?"
What could he think of this question?
Chen Yi cursed, but on his face he didn't dare to be disrespectful and said hurriedly.
"Your Majesty has learned clearly that I feel that since the disaster is serious, it is a good thing for all the ministers in the court to worry about state affairs and work together."
"Good thing?"
Zhu Qiyu snorted and said.
"Not sure..."
As he spoke, Zhu Qiyu sighed and looked at Shen Yidao.
"Others don't know what the regulations of Huangzhuang are, but Shen Qing, you always know. Uncle Dai Wang will go to Beijing next month."
"He came to Beijing this time not only to express his gratitude and supervise the construction of Prince Dai's palace, but more importantly, to report the progress of the palace to the uncles of King Dai Zhou and other clan members. At this time of year, there was such a fuss in the court.
What will Uncle Dai Wang think about this matter? What will the clan members think?"
"When the time comes, if the vassal kings from all over the country start making trouble again, will your household department be able to resist it?"
After asking this question, Shen Yi fell into silence.
Indeed, the matter of Huangzhuang is not as simple as what the ministers see now. When the king blocked the door of the Hubu, although everyone knew that he was trying to get the Hubu to agree to transfer the feudal clan, but on the surface,
But he had other reasons.
That is, when the military government was being reorganized, the Dai Wangfu took the initiative to pay back the fields to the imperial court. According to the original imperial decree, these fields must be compensated.
But the imperial court only had such a big deal. How could he get the money and food to pay off the debt in a short period of time? When he first said it, he didn't expect that the emperor's skills were so extraordinary. In just one year, all the military camps in various places were destroyed.
Packed out.
Therefore, Dai Wang actually came to ask for money, and in the end, the solution to the matter was actually Huangzhuang.
The imperial court allowed the vassal prince to participate in the operation of the imperial village and make profits from it, so as to compensate for the money and food that the imperial court should allocate to the military camp.
In this incident, although the lord lost his ownership of the land, he no longer had to worry about the court settling accounts in the fall. Although the land rent was less than before, if the income of the imperial village could meet expectations, it would not be much different.
, and more importantly, can gain some local power, which is crucial for the feudal king who has been imprisoned for a long time.
As for the Ministry of Household Affairs, these acres were originally hidden and could not provide any tax sources to the court. Now, although it is in the form of an imperial village, it is still the responsibility of the feudal prince. However, the imperial village is under the dual jurisdiction of the local government and the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Not only did he get rid of the large amount of redemption money, but he also ensured the tax source of these fields.
From this point of view, this is actually a win-win situation. Of course, the illegality is certain, but in order to save such a large amount of money and get rid of the trouble of the military camp as soon as possible, Shen Yi can only admit it.
Already.
But now, someone is making a fuss about this matter again, which gives Shen Yi a headache.
The emperor's intention is obvious. If the court has been talking about this matter and making trouble non-stop, then when the feudal princes start to make trouble, the final pressure will still come to Hubu.
To put it bluntly, if Huangzhuang can’t do it, then give me money!
What? No money? Give the fields back if you don’t have money!
After seeing King Dai block the door of the household department with a golden sword, Shen Yi knew very well that these feudal princes were extremely courageous. If they were really provoked, they could do anything.
Although Wang Hong is a bit confused, I have to say that what he said still makes some sense.
The Ministry of Revenue is not well off now. Well, it should be said that the Ministry of Revenue has never been well off. Although the specific amount of disaster relief money has not been released yet, judging from the situation of this disaster, it will definitely not be small.
At this time, if the feudal kings start fighting again and target the household department, his life cannot be summed up in one word: "sadness".
"Well, Your Majesty, you know that the Ministry of Revenue is really tight on money and food right now. Over at the Prince's Palace, can you..."
It was not facing upwards at the moment, so Chen Yi didn't have to worry too much about the impact. After hesitating for a moment, he asked carefully.
After all, Shangshu Shen is not that easy to deceive. The vassal king making trouble is indeed a headache, but it also depends on who is right.
When the first king blocked the door, without the emperor's acquiescence and his courage, he probably wouldn't have dared to do it.
Therefore, despite what the emperor said was so serious, in Shen Yi's view, with the emperor's methods, if he wanted to suppress these vassal kings, he would definitely have a way.
In fact, from the bottom of his heart, Shen Yi also felt that the construction of Prince Dai's Mansion could be postponed, but...
"Not only cannot the construction of the Prince's Palace be stopped, but it must be repaired as soon as possible!"
Facing Shen Yi's expectations, Zhu Qiyu shook his head ruthlessly.
Moving the feudal clan on behalf of the king is not only a clan matter, but more importantly, moving to Zhangzhou Prefecture on behalf of the king has a mission.
Of course he knew that during natural disasters, the Ministry of Revenue would be in short supply of money and food, but the tighter the situation, the less likely it was that the transfer of the feudal vassal should be delayed, otherwise it would be elusive.
Therefore, he can only embarrass the household department...
Seeing this situation, Chen Yi couldn't help but sigh. It was indeed true. Although he didn't know why the emperor favored the king so much, he should have expected the emperor's strong determination in the matter of moving the feudal vassal.
"but……"
Seeing Shen Yi's dejected look, Zhu Qiyu looked a little helpless, but finally relaxed his tone and said.
"Although the construction cannot be stopped or postponed, the ritual system of Prince Dai's Mansion can be reduced. You can discuss this matter in detail with Uncle Prince Dai when he arrives in the capital. However, I still say the same thing,
The disaster must be dealt with properly, and the Prince's Palace cannot delay, do you understand?"
"I obey the decree!"
Chen Yi nodded helplessly. He was not happy because of the 'favor' given by the emperor. On the contrary, he knew very well that this carrot was not that delicious.
The emperor's words made it clear that he wanted the Ministry of Revenue to resolve the matter regarding the Prince's Mansion. This morning, although the censors were suppressed for the time being, they would definitely bring up the matter again before long.
Looking at the emperor's current state, there is a high probability that he will be asked to deal with these people. But the problem is, how can he, the Minister of Household Affairs, deal with these censors...
