In the study room of the Qianqing Palace, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but frown when he looked at the piles of memorials on the desk.
Since Liu Jin Wang Shouren left, there have been more and more memorials that need to be reviewed by himself. Those who don't know better think that there are many things going on in the Ming Dynasty that need to be handled by the emperor.
As a result, most of the memorials here were just flattery, greetings, mutual criticisms, impeachment memorials, and some were just bullshit. Trivial matters also sent the memorials to my desk.
"This is such a big deal that you actually sent me a memorial?"
Emperor Hongzhi threw a copy of the memorial to the ground, which frightened the surrounding young eunuchs into silence and did not dare to express their anger.
Emperor Hongzhi has always had a good temper and has not been angry like this for many years. This sudden anger shocked everyone.
"Is it another memorial to impeach Wang Shouren? He abused power for personal gain, engaged in corruption and accepted bribes, and formed cliques for personal gain?"
Emperor Hongzhi flipped through the next memorial, read it quickly, and immediately became even more angry.
Emperor Hongzhi naturally knew who Wang Shouren was.
Talented and upright, he is definitely one of the best in the world. How could he do things like abusing power for personal gain, taking bribes, and forming cliques for personal gain?
Is it possible that he is blind after allocating millions of taels of silver every year to build up the factory security force?
Wouldn’t he know Wang Shouren’s situation?
"Another memorial to impeach Liu Jin. He used power for personal gain, formed cliques for personal gain, and did not observe filial piety. During the period of observing filial piety, he did not kneel next to the thatched cottage every day and often went out to sea to fish?"
Emperor Hongzhi immediately threw the memorial to the ground in anger after reading it.
These ministers are really going too far. Liu Jin and Wang Shouren are no longer in the government. They are being impeached every day, and everything is put on their heads.
Although it is said that Ding You observes filial piety, there are many rules, such as building a thatched hut next to the tomb and kneeling down to worship every day, not eating meat, not having sex with his wife and concubines, etc.
How many people actually do this?
Liu Jin was reading a book at home, and when he went fishing at sea, he was impeached and criticized every day. He was really nitpicking, for no other reason than to disgust himself as the emperor.
After all, he is also the emperor, and he has many things to do every day. There are many things in the entire Ming Dynasty, but now he just wastes his time and makes himself angry with all these nonsense things.
Now the feeling for Emperor Hongzhi is that he has suddenly returned to the previous situation.
There are endless memorials to be approved every day, and there is basically nothing important in these memorials. They are all trivial matters, or various memorials to greet each other, impeach and criticize each other.
Instead, real national affairs have been put aside and become unimportant trivial matters.
"Another memorial to impeach Liu Jin~"
"It's still a memorial to impeach Liu Jin~"
"Also, the memorial I wrote is really stinky and long. It shows off my poor talent and is a waste of time."
Emperor Hongzhi kept throwing one memorial after another on the ground. In the blink of an eye, they were all scattered on the ground. He was half angry to death.
Damn, where are the memorials on national affairs?
There is not one letter, they are all these memorials to impeach Liu Jin, Wang Shouren, Han Wen, Zhong Fan, Li Kun and others. If you want to impeach, just impeach. At least you have some factual basis. In the end, they are all making random excuses and wearing hats. Just open your mouth.
It really made Emperor Hongzhi very angry.
If you really believe what is said in these memorials, then you have to deny the development of the Ming Dynasty in the past twenty years, and deny everything that Emperor Hongzhi believed in for many years.
Emperor Hongzhi knew Liu Jin and Wang Shouren very well. These people took the trouble to write letters to impeach Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, just to make themselves suspicious.
"Father!"
At this time, Zhu Houzhao walked in, and Emperor Hongzhi, who was already angry when he saw the memorials everywhere, was also surprised.
What happened to make the always good-tempered Emperor Hongzhi so angry?
"What happened to make you so angry?"
"You will know after reading these memorials yourself."
Emperor Hongzhi calmed down his inner emotions a little and said.
When Zhu Houzhao heard this, he also picked up the memorial and read it.
"Liu Jin is corrupt, accepts bribes, uses power for personal gain, and forms cliques for personal gain?"
"Wang Shouren also took bribes?"
"Korean is blocked?"
Zhu Houzhao randomly picked up some memorials and read them, and was immediately dumbfounded.
"These people should all be sent to the North Sea to grow potatoes!"
Zhu Houzhao also threw all the memorials to the ground angrily.
What kind of people are Lao Liu and Lao Wang, and they still don’t know that Liu Jin needs to use corruption and accept bribes?
He has so much money that he can never spend it all. How much money can he embezzle?
If you are still forming a party for personal gain, what kind of party should you form? Are you forming a party with me?
What kind of selfishness are you doing for personal gain? Are you doing business with me?
Zhu Houzhao became angry when he heard this.
These people have resurfaced again. Liu Jin and Wang Shouren went home to pay filial piety to Ding You. They started acting like monsters again and played the same tricks as before.
"It's really time to send them all to the North Sea to grow potatoes."
Emperor Hongzhi also nodded in agreement.
"Look, there are so many memorials now that my desk is full. In the past, there were more than 100 memorials in a day, and they were all read quickly. When there were less, there were only dozens of memorials.
There is plenty of time to rest and think about national affairs."
"Now, all of them are memorials. All trivial matters have come to me. There are also various criticism and impeachment memorials."
Emperor Hongzhi pointed to the pile of memorials on his desk, looking very irritated.
In the past, it was nothing to review so many memorials every day, just get used to it.
However, as Liu Jin became a cabinet minister, the number of these memorials became less and less, and Emperor Hongzhi gradually got used to that kind of life.
There are few memorials, but they are all major military and state affairs. Emperor Hongzhi can read them slowly and think carefully, and there will be no great work pressure or burden if there are few memorials.
After spending an hour or two every day reviewing, Emperor Hongzhi still had time to go for a walk, spend time with his wife, and check on his grandchildren's studies.
Now there are so many memorials all of a sudden, and Emperor Hongzhi is really not used to it and is irritable.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. This is actually the truth.
I am used to working efficiently, but I am very irritated by this situation.
"In my opinion, people like Liu Jin, Wang Shouren and others are still needed to govern the country."
"They are the ones who truly serve the king wholeheartedly and serve the common people below."
"These people in the court now keep saying they are beautiful, but they are sanctimonious and duplicitous."
"Father, you are the Son of Heaven and the Ming Dynasty. You have everything to deal with today. Every minute and every second is very precious and important. How can you be bothered by these things?"
"They impeached Han Wen to block his voice, so Han Wen did not dare to approve these memoranda, and they ended up in front of you, my father."
"He keeps criticizing Liu Jin and Wang Shouren, even though he knows it is of no use now, but if a drop of water breaks through a stone, three people will become a tiger. As long as there are more people talking, when the time comes, Father, you will become suspicious, and this thousand-mile embankment will collapse.
In an anthill."
"When they have all the say and power, I'm afraid they will reveal their true colors again. According to their usual behavior, they will definitely find ways to compete for interests in various industries."
"For these people, the emperor and the common people are more important than their own interests."
Zhu Houzhao casually looked through some memorials and sighed.
"If you really want to be loyal to the emperor, then you should do things beautifully so that you, my father, will have less to worry about. If you govern the world well and keep the herd well, the people will be rich and the world will be peaceful, then you, my father, will naturally have less worries.
.”
"Look at the memorials they sent up. They are all trivial matters. There are also a lot of memorials asking for greetings, greetings, and flattering people."
"Everyone's eyes will be dazzled when they read these memorials. Each of them is written in a stinky and long way, showing off their talent."
Zhu Houzhao is no longer the young man who didn't know anything. At this time in history, Zhu Houzhao, who was already in his thirties, fell into the water and received a box lunch soon after.
But now, because of the change of Liu Jin, the time traveler, Emperor Hongzhi is still doing well, and Zhu Houzhao is also doing well. In his thirties, although he is obsessed with his own research, he is also very familiar with all aspects of the court.
He has also seen through the affairs of the government and the opposition.
"Um!"
Emperor Hongzhi smiled and nodded. His son had truly grown up, become sensible, and understood more about national affairs. His hard work over the years to cultivate him was not in vain.
"How are you doing as the chief envoy of Northern Zhili?"
Immediately, Emperor Hongzhi didn't bother to pay attention to those memorials, and chatted with Zhu Houzhao about the affairs of Beizhili.
Zhu Houzhao has now been successfully promoted to the Chief Envoy of Beizhili, taking charge of the entire province of Beizhili. Beizhili is now the richest and most developed province in the Ming Dynasty.
Beijing and Tianjin alone were the first and second cities in the Ming Dynasty. They had developed industry, a large population, extremely developed agriculture, convenient transportation, and rapid development.
"Okay."
"The Beijing-Tianjin area is now the best place for development in our Ming Dynasty."
"However, many problems have emerged now. Some factories and workshops have seriously polluted the environment, which has affected the future development and image of Beijing and Tianjin."
"I think the traditional textile and cement industries should be gradually eliminated and relocated to other places."
"The Beijing-Tianjin area is mainly based on automobiles, machinery, commerce, electricity and other industries. These industries have low pollution and high output value..."
