The division between treasury and internal funds seems to have never been clear.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, internal funds are his own private money, and he can spend it however he likes.
But from the perspective of the ministers and the people, this world belongs to your Zhu family, why is it necessary to make such a clear distinction?
If one has money, it is the emperor's duty to help the people of the world.
But now, Bai Xintuan didn't dare to say this to His Majesty.
Although before coming, or during the discussion yesterday, Bai Xin acted as if I will not go to hell, who will go to hell, and kept saying that even if he lost his life, he would advise His Majesty.
In fact, I have some calculations in my heart. For example, today's words have been rehearsed countless times in my mind, which can not only point out the problem, but also avoid direct conflicts.
When thinking of these words, Bai Xintuan admired his talent very much.
Although His Majesty seems a little angry at the moment, Bai Xintuan understands that this issue has been debated many times in the court, and even if His Majesty is unhappy, he will not care too much.
After thinking for a while, Bai Xintuan simply said with a heart, "Report to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty has such need, even though the salary is low, I can still give everything for the Ming Dynasty."
This move was a huge blow, leaving Zhu Yuanzhang speechless.
Many officials even looked at Bai Xintun with approval.
Bai Xintiao became more confident.
To be honest, the salary of an official was really pitiful in Hongwu's day.
In fact, many officials in the capital do not care about their salary, but more about their own power.
For example, Bai Xintuan's monthly salary might not be as much as a disciple from a wealthy family.
In particular, Bai Xintuan is considered to be at the top of the literati, making a little noise, even if it is just casually talking to a servant or the housekeeper.
Countless powerful and powerful families sent their descendants of the right age to become their disciples.
On the surface, it's just the six rites, but it's the real practice secretly, that's amazing.
So after saying this, even if His Majesty really wants to do this, he has nothing to worry about, and on the contrary, he can win a better reputation.
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his eyes narrowed slightly and his body leaned back slightly.
After sitting on this dragon throne for twenty-five years, he has many ways to deal with the situation in front of him, and there are also very simple and crude ways.
But today, he did not plan to go directly by himself, but gave the opportunity to his eldest grandson.
This court will belong to Dasun in the future, and now that he is facing it, he can gain a lot of learning experience, and he also believes that Dasun can handle this matter.
After spending a long time together, Zhu Ying naturally understood the meaning of the old man's look.
Zhu Ying was not polite about this. He took a slight step forward, looked at Bai Xintuan and said, "Bachelor Bai has a noble and upright character, and his sleeves are full of breeze, which is admirable."
"Since Bachelor Bai has the intention to set an example, I am also happy to show the beauty of adulthood."
"It's just that these words are the words of Bachelor Bai alone, and I can't represent other ministers casually. However, I think that at least the Hanlin Academy should follow the example of Bachelor Bai, so it won't be a big problem."
"In this case, I think that in the future, I will reduce the salary of the Hanlin Academy by 30% and fill the national treasury for disaster relief and rescue the people. I don't know what Bachelor Bai's intention is."
As soon as these words came out, Bai Xintuan's expression suddenly changed.
He didn't expect His Highness Taisun's angle to be so tricky, and he directly put himself on the fire.
Without looking, he could feel that his colleagues around him were all looking at him with dissatisfied expressions.
This can be considered as dragging down the entire Hanlin Academy.
Originally, as far as the Hanlin Academy was concerned, many of them were truly talented people. After all, this was the place where Ming Dynasty had the most top talents and learning.
Even the smallest title is a great recognition for a scholar to the outside world.
Now if it is really because of this incident that the salaries of all officials in the Hanlin Academy are reduced by 30%, his future reputation will be ruined.
Thinking of this, big beads of sweat began to roll down Bai Xintai's forehead, and his back was almost soaked.
He never expected that His Highness Taisun would be so vicious and would involve the entire Hanlin Academy and frame himself for injustice.
After only a brief hesitation, Bai Xintuan immediately replied: "Your Highness must not be like this. Most of the students in the Hanlin Academy are from poor families, and they can barely live and clothe themselves with the salary from the court."
"If this is cut into 30%, I'm afraid I'll have to eat chaff and drink water, and I'll even go hungry often. Please forgive me, Your Highness."
Zhu Ying replied: "Oh, so to speak, when others are so poor, why can Bachelor Bai not care and hand over his salary easily? Is it possible that Bachelor Bai is like a god who can just eat the wind and drink the dew?
"
"Or maybe Bachelor Bai has other ways to make money, and his salary is not worth mentioning in comparison?"
Two plain questions completely suppressed Bai Xintiao. At this moment, Bai Xintiao's mind was filled with mud and his mind was a little messy.
As I get older, my reaction time is much slower. Now I feel like an ant on a hot pot, but I don't know how to respond.
This is a real murderous act. If Bachelor Bai can't answer it, it means that there is something wrong in his heart.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's half-lying body was leaning slightly forward.
Obviously, if Bai Xintuan was still speechless later, Zhu Yuanzhang would not mind sending him to prison and interrogating him severely.
Moreover, other ministers had nothing to say about this handling method.
Seeing that a long time had passed and Bai Xintiao had not yet answered, Zhu Yuanzhang was already ready to call the Jin Yiwei over and put him in the imperial prison first.
At this time, Liu Sanwu coughed and came out of the class: "Your Majesty, I have something to report."
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, but still said: "It's accurate."
Seeing this, Liu Sanwu felt slightly relieved. If His Majesty rejected it, it would mean that Bai Xintuan was hopeless.
After pondering for a while, Liu Sanwu said loudly: "I have been friends with Academician Bai for many years, and I also know a little about Academician Bai's situation."
"Bachelor Bai's wife's natal family is quite wealthy. It's difficult for Bachelor Bai to talk about it, but I have to say that in terms of life, Bachelor Bai's wife is still very dedicated."
When the ministers heard this, they immediately showed a look of understanding, which also explained well why Bai Xintuan did not answer. This statement still makes sense.
Even if Bachelor Bai's wife is carrying a large sedan chair, the matchmaker is marrying her.
But if you do this, you will be suspected of eating soft food, which will be looked down upon.
But now that Liu Sanwu has explained it, this feeling no longer exists.
Besides, Bai Xintuan donated his salary for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and then he went to eat soft rice, so the meaning is different.
After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he didn't mean anything else. After all, in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart, he didn't have to kill Bai Xintai.
If you really want to kill someone, there are many ways to do it, and you can find an excuse and be executed.
Over the years, not too many intellectuals have been killed by Zhu Yuanzhang using various excuses and means.
Seeing that Bai Xintong's momentum had been completely suppressed and he almost lost his life, Liu Sanwu was somewhat unwilling to give in.
After all, this topic is about to be eliminated before it reaches the point.
Zhu Ying had good eyesight and observed Liu Sanwu's expression very well. He simply pulled him up and asked, "I don't know what Liu Hanlin thinks about what Bachelor Caibai said."
"Why don't you just tell me and listen to it."
Liu Sanwu was worried about not knowing how to speak, but he didn't expect that His Highness Taisun would directly give him something to say. After feeling a little happy in his heart, he replied confidently: "Your Highness, I just listened to the point of view that Bachelor Bai originally mentioned, which is about culture, governance and martial arts.
, but I have some thoughts.”
Zhu Ying seemed a little surprised and asked, "I wonder what Liu Hanlin has to say."
Liu Sanwu replied: "I look at all dynasties in ancient and modern times. To conquer the world, we rely on military generals, and to rule the world, we rely on civil servants."
"Now the Ming Dynasty is powerful both at home and abroad. Countries are paying tribute, and there is peace all over the world. After the chaos of the late Yuan Dynasty, the people feel at ease."
"I have the audacity to say that at this moment, we should follow the example of the previous Song Dynasty, implement the national policy of emphasizing culture over military affairs, and take governing the world as our own responsibility. Only in this way can we have long-term peace and stability."
"It is not the bias of the ministers. Military men are reckless and often do not follow the law. They rely on their military exploits to test the law. This only brings panic among the people, destabilizing the people's hearts and destroying the foundation of our Ming Dynasty."
As soon as these words came out, the military attache immediately became excited, and some of the brave ones even yelled out loud.
"You shameless old man, when we are fighting desperately in these troubled times, you are just hiding in a corner, eking out an ignoble existence."
"That's right, this old immortal thing has a black heart."
"What the hell, you're still a great scholar of the generation, in my opinion, it's nothing, bah!"
There are many distinguished generals in the Fifth Army Governor's Mansion, and all of them have explosive tempers.
Normally he doesn't talk because he has nothing to say, but now Liu Sanwu is peeing on his neck, speaking all kinds of obscene words without any scruples.
However, what they didn't expect was that they fell into Liu Sanwu's trap.
Liu Sanwu knew very well that a general is like a double-edged sword to His Majesty. He can use it well to hurt others, but he can't use it well to hurt himself.
Nowadays, he ignores the rules of the court, which is extremely easy to arouse His Majesty's resentment. Compared with civil servants, kings in the past were more afraid of generals.
No matter how bad the civil servants are, it is just corruption and bribery, but the military generals are different. They are very likely to separate themselves from one side and establish their own faction.
This is a result that no king can tolerate.
Obviously, if Zhu Ying hadn't been there, Liu Sanwu would have succeeded. At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the military attaché with a frown on his face and an evil look in his eyes.
For Liu Sanwu to say this, in fact, as a king, he has a clear mind.
However, this kind of thing is generally done secretly, and it is rarely brought out to the public like Liu Sanwu.
After these words came out, the contradiction between civil and military forces suddenly became acute.
That is to say, Liu Sanwu has the courage and face. If it were anyone else, he would first have to think about the incident some time ago when Lan Yu, Duke of Liang, openly beat Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Affairs.
If an ordinary minister angers a military attaché like this, he might be beaten to death someday.
But Liu Sanwu dares.
With Liu Sanwu's current status, there are really not many warriors in the world who dare to take action.
Especially Liu Sanwu, who is already eighty years old, he is afraid that he will die with just two punches, and then he will be in trouble for nothing.
If you open your mouth to curse, there is no need to worry about it.
Seeing that the commotion on the military attache's side was getting worse and Zhu Yuanzhang was about to scold him, Zhu Ying took a few steps forward and walked directly from Zhu Yuanzhang's side to the steps.
But in just a few steps, the military attache suddenly seemed to have lost his voice. The next moment, all sounds disappeared completely, as if the anger just now was just an illusion.
Such a high level of deterrence is a great shock to the entire court.
At this time, the civil servants realized that His Highness the Grand Sun, who had just come to power and was not yet very impressive, had a prestige in the military that was comparable to that of His Majesty.
Zhu Di, who had been watching the show in the court hall, was even more shocked.
Zhu Di, who considers himself a warrior, is not clear about this situation. This means that in today's army, strictly speaking, the entire Fifth Army Commander's Mansion.
It can be said that Zhu Ying is completely in control, and the shock brought by this silent feeling is even better.
"How is this possible? In just two months, we can completely control the military power of the capital. Even my father cannot be so exaggerated."
"How on earth did he do it."
Zhu Di's originally indifferent look became serious.
The attention has completely shifted to Zhu Ying, or in other words, now the eyes of all officials in Fengtian Palace, including eunuchs, guards, maids, and even Zhu Yuanzhang, are completely attracted by Zhu Ying.
Everyone pricked up their ears, wondering what His Highness Taisun's attitude was after Liu Sanwu said these words.
In the end, do you prefer literati or military generals?
As the grandson and future emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Ying's personal thoughts will, to a great extent, affect the future direction of the entire Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also looking forward to this very much.
Now because of Liu Sanwu's words, the noble generals are furious. Even Zhu Yuanzhang feels it is a bit difficult. If it is not handled well, it will easily lead to huge conflicts between civil and military officials.
He wanted to see if Da Sun had any good way to deal with this.
After looking around, Zhu Ying slowly said: "Liu Hanlin said before that our Ming Dynasty is now stable and we only need to manage it well. On this point, I do not agree."
"In my heart, the prosperity of the capital cannot represent the stability of the local area. Not long ago, the Chief Secretary of Henan was plagued by a plague and countless people died."
"Now Gaofuxing, Shaanxi Province, has rebelled and proclaimed himself emperor with great momentum. They are marching north to the grasslands, eyeing the enemy, and are ready to invade the Ming Dynasty at any time. Japanese pirates are invading along the coast, and there are constant domestic natural disasters."
"With both near-term and long-term worries existing, how can we let our horses loose in Nanshan and put our weapons in storage to whitewash the words of peace?"
"This Ming Dynasty was defeated by military generals. From now on, the borders of Ming Dynasty will also have to be defended by military generals."
"Within the Han Dynasty, anyone who offends our powerful Han Dynasty will be punished no matter how far away!"
"With the Song dynasty, anyone who offends me and weakens the Song Dynasty will pay compensation no matter how far away they are!"
"Liu Hanlin never strays from the former Song Dynasty. Does he think that the Ming Dynasty should be like the former Song Dynasty, allowing others to slaughter, ceding land to pay compensation, claiming vassal status and paying tribute, and breaking the backbone of the Han people!"
