Shen's edict to criticize Annan Lijiyao was issued from the Ganqing Palace as soon as the imperial meeting ended.

There was also an imperial edict, which sent Yang Shiqi, the pacifier in Myanmar, as the imperial envoy, to Annan to announce the imperial edict.

At the same time, there were two secret orders sent to Zhu Di, who was training in Guangdong and Guangxi, and Wu Lun, the general of the Burmese camp.

~~

"Your Majesty, don't have that much patience!"

Outside the Meridian Gate, the original patrol army duty room was temporarily requisitioned by Zhang Jue, the Minister of Revenue, who had just sued the emperor.

Because it was too late when the meeting ended, and these central officials of the Ming Dynasty had to go early tomorrow and had to do the job before dawn, so they simply stopped going back and rested outside the Meridian Gate.

The servants of each family brought new bedding, clothes and sanitary ware for the owner, and prepared snack boxes for the late-night snacks.

Zhang Feng ate half a bowl of white porridge in his hand, ate it with the fried bean seedlings bite by bit, and said, "Even if the emperor is patient and wait for Annan to commit crimes, those warriors can't wait!"

As he said that, he put down his bowl and sighed, "When the news reaches Guangdong and Guangxi, the fourth prince may think about taking the initiative to provoke Annan!"

Hou Yong, the Minister of Personnel, snorted the mutton soup cake in the bowl, chewed the crispy sugar garlic, and ate it clean after eating it in half a minute, picked up the strong tea and smiled bitterly, "Let's watch the change!"

Ru Wei, the Minister of War, frowned and thought deeply, "I'm afraid that the trees will keep the wind from stopping!" As he said that, he also smiled bitterly, "Emperor Taizu Gao decided on fifteen countries that would not be conquered. Now it seems...hehe!"

He said hehe, everyone understood what it meant.

Yes, Emperor Taizu Gao had set up fifteen countries that did not seek for expropriation. Now it seems that these fifteen countries that did not seek for expropriation are more like the list of accounts left by him to the emperor.

The emperor is now holding this list and looking for it one by one...

"It's no big deal to fight!" Hou Tai, the Minister of Justice, ate only half a bun, sat aside with a tea bowl and said, "We can't stop it, it's useless to stop it..."

These words made everyone silent again.

His words cannot be stopped, and it is useless to stop them. In fact, they are not talking about the emperor's arbitrary decision, but the current court situation.

Except for Xin Yande who had never experienced war, almost all of them came from the war years. They knew the pain of war and the harm of war.

War will kill people.

The invincibility of the Ming Dynasty was the result of how many mothers had no sons, women had no husbands, and children had no fathers!

Behind the remarkable martial arts, there are always the blood and tears of the people.

When the war against the northern grasslands at the beginning of the founding of the country was forced to resist the enemy from outside the country.

And now, it is a naked annexation!

And whether it is the court or the people, they applaud this kind of annexation!

The new generation of officials have never seen it, participated in the war, and did not know the harm of the war. They only saw the invincible victory of the Ming Dynasty, and only saw the supreme glory brought by wars...

Even if the ministers of these centers do not agree with the use of troops against Annan, as long as the incident of Annan Lijiyao usurping the throne will be unreliable, the Ming Dynasty will be destined to be full of turbulent shouts and shouts of killing.

Today's Ming Empire, from the emperor to officials to the people, is full of warlike people. Not to mention the battle-ridden lions who have long been idle and have been feeling uncomfortable all over the place, and those nobles who are worried about their own titles and no hope of promotion all day long.

"It's still money and grain!" Yan Zhenzhi, the chief censor, suddenly sighed, "The emperor allocated four million silver dollars from the inner treasury, and this money must have been prepared! Li Zhigang planned eight million in Jiangnan, but I don't know if he could..."

"Ha!" Zhang Feng suddenly smiled, "He Li Yixing is capable. Since he dares to say this, he will definitely be able to do it!"

"Haha!" There was a sudden burst of laughter around.

Among the laughter, only Xin Yande seemed very worried.

He looked at everyone, "My Duke, Li Zhigang is about to raise 8 million military expenses in various provinces in Jiangnan! That's 8 million, not 800,000! What name does he charge?" As he said, his brows frowned, "I have paid all the taxes I should pay, and I have to raise an additional 8 million. That's not...Isn't that an additional levy?"

The Zuodu Censor Yang Jing glanced at Xin Yande, "It's either a levy or a clever name to plunder it! In short, Li Yixing is a capable person. Not only can he raise it in place, but this money will not be plundered from the poor people!"

"This is hard to say!" Xin Yande shook his head, "There have always been a harsh tax, and there are no ones who donated miscellaneous taxes without plundering the people!"

Everyone just laughed but didn't say anything.

Xin Yande was still young and didn't see through it.

Li Yixing, the imperial envoy, held the power alone in Jiangnan. On the one hand, he had to use the new policy to demolish the original grassroots officials and gentry. In this process, Li Yixing could implement liquidation without any worries, and he also had a big shot. He had 10,000 reasonable reasons to get money from the hands of those gentry!

On the other hand, the new policy and opening the sea complement each other.

In the eyes of everyone, once the court fully lifted the sea ban, sea trade will become the most important fiscal revenue of the country. With the temptation to open the sea, the gentry were eager to give him Li Yixing money... and even for fear that it would not be enough, so the imperial envoy wrote a note that they would not be allowed to participate in sea trade and go to sea!

Think deeper... many things can only be thought of by yourself, only thoughts but not words.

Before the New Year, the emperor had the intention of replacing the persons of the Guangdong Provincial Administration Commissioner, just to open up the sea. To be precise, after the sea ban was lifted, various taxes were collected to prepare for the levy.

In addition, the customs was separated from the local authority department, allowing the customs tax departments in various places to be independent and directly belong to the central government.

It can be said that the emperor was playing a big game of chess, and Li Zhigang was the important piece.

"You guys, it seems that it is not appropriate for the officials to raise military expenses!" Xin Yande said worriedly, "Besides, Li Yixing is the person..." and sighed, and said, "You have also seen that this year's examination, the reason why the four provinces in Jiangnan jointly cancel the examination was because he was making trouble! If the eight million people in Jiangnan would make people resent the court..."

"Zhangbutang!" Hou Yong suddenly interrupted Xin Yande and said to Zhang Yan, "You just asked the emperor whether the various inputs after opening the sea in the future will be returned to the national treasury or the emperor's private treasury. The emperor did not reply directly!"

"Yes!" Ru Wei, the Minister of War, also spoke, "This is not only a matter of money, but also involves customs and tax departments in various places!"

In the minds of civil officials, the emperor does not need money.

Your goddamn emperor, people are serving you for money when you eat, drink, defecate, and urinate? Do you have a place to spend money?

What's more, in addition to the word "money" on the surface, it also touches on a series of personnel powers and management powers of various functional yamen.

There is a game between countries, but in fact there is also a game between emperors and ministers...

Xin Yande next to him was full of surprise.

How could he not see that Hou Yong and Ru Yi deliberately disobeyed him and deliberately changed the subject.

But after a little thought, he also understood a little.

"These old foxes!" he said in his heart.

None of the people in the center liked Li Zhigang. At this time, he not only did not object to their various actions towards Li Zhigang, but instead held a smug attitude. The ultimate goal was why, and he already had the answer in his mind.

The more Li Zhigang did, the further the distance from the center.

It’s the old saying, don’t look at the trouble now, be careful to get a list in the future.

From the perspective of being an official, this is a normal struggle, and there is no problem to be found. This is an open conspiracy, which makes you Li Zhigang yourself criticized by thousands of people and scolded by thousands of people.

Xin Yande also looked down on Li Zhigang, but he felt uncomfortable.

Because just taking Li Zhigang's intention to raise military expenses in several provinces in Jiangnan, this is unreasonable and should have written a letter to object.

But the officials in front of them do not object to some purpose.

Perhaps they will turn this into one of the evidences of Li Zhigang's crimes in the future, but their original intentions are all used to power and not real state affairs!

Furthermore, Xin Yande had another idea in his mind.

Although he was just a person at the end of Nan Study Room, he was just a walk responsible for passing the documents.
