Chapter 323: Peak duel!!

"Have the cabinet brought out the regulations?" As soon as he heard the word "earthquake", Emperor Jiajing felt a headache. The actual losses of the earthquake in the twelfth lunar month last year had been reported, which was twice as bad as the worst case originally estimated. According to the information reviewed by the Imperial Heaven Supervision, among the earthquakes recorded in all dynasties, this time was the widest range, the most harmful, and the most dead.

It was because he couldn't stand the heavy and upset work after the shock that he had been hiding in the deep palace to escape responsibility in the name of self-examination and cultivation. Although he was fooled by Tao Tianshi's words "God is unhappy", he was very reluctant to care about this matter.

Yan Song had a deep understanding of his mind, so he naturally would not take much effort and gave the matter to Xu Jie long ago. So now Mr. Xu had to speak out and ask His Majesty several opinions, such as "sending officials to comfort the place", "reducing taxes, persuading the gentry to exempt rent and interest", and "recruiting medical medicines from all over the country to prevent and control the epidemic as soon as possible."

Listening to Xu Jie's arrangement of things in an orderly manner, Emperor Jiajing's face cleared a little and nodded, "As long as there is no problem with the money, it will be correct."

Xu Jie whispered: "Ministry of Revenue budget. If you want to do these things, it will cost at least 2 million taels. The Ministry of Revenue... can't take out this bank."

"What should I do?" the emperor lowered his face and said, "I am also a pauper, and I can't solve it."

"Your Majesty calm down, and the ministers and the Ministry of Revenue are discussing whether they can temporarily borrow the money from major households in various places, and wait until the summer tax is collected, and then repay the capital and interest." Xu Jie said softly.

"Just do it like this..." the emperor said impatiently: "Borrow it every year and pay it back every year. Who was my Ming Dynasty collecting taxes?!"

When the imperial empire encountered disasters, it actually had to borrow money from the big families. This was really ridiculous, but judging from the reactions of the monarchs and ministers in the hall, it was obviously used to it.

"What else?" Emperor Jiajing couldn't wait to skip the issue of earthquake... Because it always makes him feel deeply inferior and powerless, he subconsciously always wants to escape.

Li Mo said, "Since last year, I have been ordered to review Beijing officials, and it has basically ended. The three-year Bingchen external inspection is under the regular, and 270 officials under the fourth rank have been impeached as usual, waiting for His Majesty to make a reply. However, if there are co-organizers who impeached the second rank, you need to ask His Majesty to decide in addition to the power of Wei," he submitted two memorials.

Although he could not see the content of the memorial, Shen Mo knew very well that it must be two memorials from Xia Feng and Sun Jun. He had already known the content from the Jinyiwei. As he expected, Li Mo could not wait. As soon as he saw His Majesty, he could not wait to declare war on Master Yan head-on!

'I was really a good show!' Shen Mo was slightly excited and couldn't help but swear... He couldn't help but thank the emperor for giving him this opportunity to see the wise and conspiring Master Yan Ge, who took the lead, and the peak duel between Li Shangshu. Although he didn't say that he was lucky in his three lives, it was definitely an opportunity to observe and learn, which was hard to buy.

Of course, at the same time, he was also deeply terrified by Emperor Jiajing's accurate judgment and his mastery... He remembered that the emperor had just said: "I'll let you see a monkey show to see if it's fun." Is such a level of competition like a monkey show in his eyes?

Not to mention Shen Zhuoyan, who was admiring the mountains, he just said that Li Mo reported righteously when the emperor was reading the memorial: "The tide of the southeast, Japanese pirates, not only reoccupied the old nests of Bopu and Dongchuansha, but also went deep into the mainland to sweep several times. After the tenth day of the first lunar month, the king's army suffered consecutive defeats. For a moment, fire broke out in the southeast and smoked from all directions! The people were in dire straits. Just as the minister was looking for the outside world, we should ask the cabinet and local governments that have already been 'remaining and clearing the sea', where did the Japanese pirates come from?"

After hearing this, Jiajing closed the memorial in his hand and said lightly: "Georg Master Yan, Shangshu Li is asking you, let's answer."

Yan Song stood up with Dunzi and said tremblingly: "Reply to Your Majesty, I answer Lord Li, the old minister thinks that the Japanese pirates are neither descending from heaven nor provoking the earth. The deep reason is that they have not been eliminated and are rekindled..."

"It seems that last year, Zhao Wenhua, Minister Zhao, recommended by Master Yan,... Oh no, now it is Secretary Zhao, and he also wrote to the court, claiming that "land and land are successful, the sea is peaceful and clear". Finally, he returned to the court with praise with praise and promoted the title. It has only been two months since the south of the Yangtze River, and the smoke is everywhere in Jiangnan," Li Mo said aggressively: "Isn't he lie about military affairs and deceive the emperor?" Although this matter is pursued, he, the recommender of the Southeast Governor, has not had a good result. But at least Su Song Governor Cao Bangfu, won several victories, which is the only highlight in the "dark first month". He can add some points to him... It is said that "kill one thousand enemies and lose eight hundred themselves". Li Mo has decided to cut off his arm and force the Yan party to a dead end.

Facing Li Mo's sharp sword that was pressing to his throat, Yan Song seemed calm and kowtowed to the emperor, "Mr. Li blamed him, it is really hard to escape the blame! The old minister has been thinking about it recently, and always felt that the crux of the problem of the Japanese suppression was Zhao Wenhua. He was the one who was advising the major event of the Japanese suppression last year, and he returned with success and honor. In the world, he said that he was a pillar of the country who could govern the country with literature and martial arts. The emperor trusted him and granted him an official title, and added thousands of favors to him." He paused and said with a deep grace: "But in fact, now that the Japanese pirates are rekindled, it is obvious that he has not completely wiped out, so he has withdrawn from the court. His crime of "false reporting of military affairs and gaining reputation" cannot be quizzed!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the palace was shocked!

Li Mo was stunned. The emperor who had been keeping his eyes open, narrowed his eyes, and Xu Jie, who had been squinting his eyes, opened his eyes... Even Shen Mo behind the curtain was so shocked that he couldn't stop talking... What medicine did this old man take wrong? Do you think he was too slow to do anything? Or do you want to give up?

Emperor Jiajing was determined to look at the chief minister who had been with him for twenty years and found that the old man was too old... Although he was an old man when he first met him, he was not as terrible as that old. So he couldn't bear to say, "What should we do with what the chief minister saw?"

"Severely investigate and treat it seriously!" Yan Song cut off the railway.

This made people think that the old man was going to throw his pawns and protect the car. Emperor Jiajing frowned and said with a smile: "You brought Zhao Wenhua to you. If I remember correctly, he is your godson. Today's chief minister really wants to destroy his relatives for justice?"

Yan Song said with a sigh: "In the hearts of the empress, there is only the emperor and the country. If you alarm the emperor and disturb the country, let alone the adopted son of the minister, even the son Yan Shifan will never show mercy!"

Emperor Jiajing saw that Yan Song's words were sonorous and loud, and it was very meaningful to send Zhao Wenhua to the guillotine himself, so he was confused... He knew that Zhao Wenhua was the banner and backbone of the Yan Party. If he broke him, it would not be as simple as losing a backbone, but it meant that a big flag fell, which could easily cause panic, and then there would be a scene of trees falling and money scattering. Therefore, no matter from which angle Yan Song considered it, he would strive to ensure that Zhao Wenhua was not lost. But now... did he really want to 'kill kill Ma Su'? Did I really see his old assistant wrong?

The emperor and the authorities were fascinated, but the silence hidden behind the curtains accelerated, and they had to cover their mouths to help cheering Master Yan!

Combined with Lu Bing and Tao Zhongwen's description of His Majesty Jiajing's character, silent and dared to make 80% guarantee. This time, Emperor Jiajing was also fooled by the monkey while playing with monkeys!!

The reason why Emperor Jiajing could devote his limited life to the infinite great cause of cultivation was because in the thirty years since Yang Tinghe left, none of the ministers could guess his thoughts, and no one was his opponent, and he was playing with them in his hands. So much so that he lost the interest in fighting with others and instead challenged God!

So Emperor Jiajing can proudly say: What I practice is not Taoism, but loneliness.

But as Lao Tzu, who believed in, said, "The government is depressed, the people are pure, the government is conservative, the people are lacking." This means that there is a kind and generous boss above, and the people below are more honest; if it is replaced by a smart and strict leader without any room for room, the people below will learn to be smart and cunning.

This is actually easy to understand, because ministers have to rely on serving the emperor to live a good life. If the emperor is easier to serve, the ministers don’t have to spend so much effort and work hard. But if it were an emperor like Jiajing who was talented and good at cheating, you would always be unable to touch the tricks, everyone would have to serve them, otherwise who would be the official position.

Youdao is that three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and there is only one emperor, and there is no replacement for more than 30 years, while the ministers are like rivers surging and endless. There are always some geniuses who, after a long period of experience, gradually figure out his tricks and become people who can fool the emperor or even use them.

At present, there are only a father and son, Yan Song and Yan Shifan. But what you can imagine is that Xu Jie, who has been observing them silently, will write his name on the near future.

There is also extremely smart. Lao Yu's silence of power struggle has realized this and began to observe it carefully. In the longer future, I believe that more intelligent people will notice this change and join the ranks of not being fooled by monkeys...
