On the fourth day of the fourth month of the first year of Jiajing, he often paid tribute.

The Chang Dynasty is different from the Grand Court meeting. All officials in Beijing must participate, only worshiping and not dealing with political affairs. Only officials of the fifth rank or above are qualified to participate, and the Emperor will listen to ministers’ memorials at the Grand Court meeting.

Of course, [51 Novel www.51xs.info] Some special department officials can participate in the Changchao even if their official positions are not enough for the fifth rank. For example, if the six department officials have only the seventh rank, they can also participate in the Changchao. Moreover, they have a considerable power, and they have the right to refute and cancel memorials, and even if there are any wrongs from the emperor, they can criticize and correct them. This kind of official position design with a small system has considerable superiority and is more advanced than the current "top-down" patriarchal system of the Republic.

It is said that this is the first time that Xu Jin has participated in the Changchao since he was promoted to Hanlin Secretariat and the Ministry of War last year.

At this time, the young emperor Zhu Hougui was wearing a five-clawed golden dragon robe and a winged crown, sitting upright on the imperial throne of Fengtian Hall. The ministers of the civil and military ranks were on the left and right, and Xu Jin stood in a low-key manner behind the civil servant team.

After the civil and military officials visited the court, the eunuch Bi Yun, the eunuch of the Sili Principal, came forward with a whisk and sang loudly: "If you have something to do, you will be able to leave the court if you have nothing to do!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yu Kuan, the director of the Husbandry Department, went out and said loudly: "I have a report. Starting from February this year, the Ministry of Revenue tried to plant sweet potatoes in Wanping County. It originally promised to subsidize a single dou of grain per mu for trial farmers. It has been two months since then, but it has not yet fulfilled its promise. The people have complained. Therefore, I impeached Yang Tan, the Minister of Revenue, to neglect his duties and fool the people. Please remove him from his position as Shangshang."

As soon as these words were spoken, both classes of ministers became slightly turbulent. These censors were originally cannons. It was normal for them to bombard this one today and bombard that one tomorrow. However, as soon as Yu Kuan opened his mouth today, he directly impeached officials of the Shangshu level and bluntly asked to remove Yang Tan from his post, which was a bit unusual.

Zhu Houcon had long been upset with Yang Tan who was in charge of the money bag, and said indifferently: "Let the Minister of Revenue Yang Tan defend himself."

After all, Yang Tan is an old official, and he was impeached once and half times. He stepped out calmly and said: "The emperor clearly understands that since there is not enough grain seeds of sweet potatoes, it takes time for the Ministry of Revenue to collect grain seeds across the country, so all the trial plantings in Wanping County were not sown in early March.

In addition, Wanping County has piloted the cultivation of sweet potatoes in total, with a total of more than 8,000 hectares of subsidy, and it is very strange that the allocation and transportation will take a certain period of time, which has led to the delay in issuance of subsidies."

Yu Kuan, the director of the Hukeshita Department, immediately retorted: "It's ridiculous that Wanping County has tried to plant sweet potatoes. It was decided after the cold dew last year. Why didn't we collect grains early? I found that there was not enough grains when planting this spring?"

"Mr. Yu's words are extreme. Sweet potatoes are new crops, lack cultivation experience, and it is normal to make mistakes in estimating grains." Shi Jie, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, came out to defend Yang Tan.

Zhu Houguan said lightly: "There is a plea to the error in estimating the grain seeds, but there is no need to wait until all the subsidies are distributed before they are distributed. They can be distributed in batches. The farmers who have planted will give subsidies. Why do the people have any complaints?"

Although Zhu Houxiang's words make sense, they are very troublesome to operate in practice. If there is a unified distribution, it is easy to save trouble. The officials under the Ministry of Revenue felt that it was troublesome, so they decided to distribute them uniformly, which saves time and effort, and saves transportation costs.

So things that make sense may not be reasonable. They mainly depend on which side they stand on. If you look at them from the perspective of farmers, the sooner you get the subsidy, the better.

At this time, Yang Tan knelt down and apologized: "The emperor is wise and wise, it is true that the ministers have omitted it. Please ask the emperor to punish him."

Zhu Houcan nodded and said, "Yang Tan, the Minister of Revenue, was not doing well, but he thought that there was a reason for the matter, and he did not make a big mistake. He was fined one month for punishment."

"I will be punished by you!" Yang Tan kowtowed and resigned to the civil servant team.

The Fengtian Palace was silent, and only then did a group of civil and military officials suddenly realize that the young emperor who had ascended the throne for a year became more and more familiar with his affairs, and his power and virtue were getting stronger and stronger. He punished a minister easily, which made people unable to refute.

Xu Jin also had to admit that Zhu Houcong was indeed very smart. No wonder Emperor Jiajing in history was able to successfully transform into a thunderous emperor as a young vassal king, controlling all the ministers and eunuchs in the applause. He was not as slapped by Zhang Juzheng like the later Emperor Wanli.

At this time, the chief assistant Yang Tinghe walked out slowly and said, "I have something to do to report!"

Zhu Houcong's expression slowed down and said politely: "Mr. Yang, please speak."

Although the young emperor was dissatisfied with Yang Tinghe, he still respected him very much on the surface and praised the four elders of the cabinet as gentlemen.

"The people of Yanzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province suffered floods last year and suffered repeated wars. The people lived in difficult and difficult times. Last year, the emperor issued an order to exempt Yanzhou Prefecture from one year's tax grain, but this is obviously not enough. Therefore, I beg to exempt Yanzhou Prefecture from two years' tax grain."

Zhu Houcan nodded and said, "Authentication!"

As soon as Yang Tinghe returned to the team, Xia Yan, the military officer, went out and said loudly: "I have a copy!"

Xia Yan had a sparse eyebrows and a loud and clear voice. Zhu Houcan had a good impression of him and said happily: "Come on!"

Xia Yan hugged the hut and shouted loudly: "Last month, two barbarians killed and killed each other, and the poison was invaded, causing heavy casualties to the people. Liu Jin, commander of the Japanese capital, and Zhang Tong, all the Japanese were killed in battle. The Japanese took the ship and fled into the sea and disappeared.

I think the root of it lies in the Maritime Tuiju Division. I ask the emperor to issue an order to abolish the two Maritime Tuiju Divisions in Fuzhou and Ningbo, strictly enforce the ban on the sea, block the docks, destroy ships to sea, cut off sea traffic, and prevent similar things from happening again."

As soon as Xia Yan finished speaking, many officials immediately came out to discuss.

Seeing this, Xu Jin couldn't help but frown. It would be fine if the Maritime Tutoring Department suspended trade, but he would even destroy the ships to sea. Isn't this equivalent to self-destruction? Can you be more mentally retarded?

"All my dear friends agree to abolish the Municipal Botis Office and strictly enforce the ban on the sea?" Jiajing asked in a raised voice, his eyes swept over the two squads of ministers, and finally stayed on Xu Jin.

The ministers who noticed that the emperor's eyes were different subconsciously turned their heads to Xu Jin, who was hiding in the corner.

Seeing the current situation, Xu Jin had already given up a little, so he had to bite the bullet and whine out: "I object!"

As soon as this statement was made, the audience was in an uproar. Now the ministers in the Fengtian Palace almost supported Xia Yan on one side, but Xu Jin actually opposed it. Could it be that this kid likes to do things against the ministers?

Zhu Houcong said seriously: "Why does Jing Anbo oppose it?"

Xu Jin took a deep breath in secret. Since he was the first to be a bird, let go and say something else. So he took out a memorial from his arms and said loudly: "I have written all the suggestions in the memorial, please read them."

Zhu Hou said quietly: "Come on!"

Immediately, the little yellow gate was responsible for presenting the memorial book from Xu Jin to the imperial throne, and the boy Zhu Houcan took it and looked it up in a pretentious manner.
