Domineering Daming

After the censor's words fell, his complexion suddenly changed suddenly, and he stepped forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this action is against the law of the ancestors, and the minister's proposal is absolutely unacceptable!"

The censor of Shaanxi Dao also came out and said anxiously: "Your Majesty, the gentry is the foundation of our Ming Dynasty, so don't move lightly!"

As soon as this discussion came out, the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty could not calm down anymore, they filed out and kept admonishing Zhu Xu.

"Your Majesty, the gentry and the royal family are on the same page, please don't act recklessly, Your Majesty!"

"This move will inevitably lead to catastrophe, shake the foundation of the country, and even cause chaos in the world!"

"Your Majesty, I object!"

"I object to this!"

"I object to this!"

"I object to this!"

In a blink of an eye, almost all the civil and military personnel of the court came out, and they spoke out with unprecedented firmness.

Zhu Xu's eyes were slightly cold, and it could be seen from their expressions that they really opposed it from the bottom of their hearts.They are still ministers at the court, if they are put in place, or even news spreads, I am afraid that there will be an uproar that will affect the entire Ming Dynasty!

This is just a trial.

Zhu Xu took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, smiled and waved his hands and said, "This move is all voluntary, and the court will not force it. Today's discussion is about tax inspection, so don't digress."

After listening to Zhu Xu's words, all the ministers were still uneasy, and all retreated sullenly.

Gu Bingqian looked at Zhu Xu's expression, but felt vaguely in his heart that this might not be the case.But he knew even better that if he really wanted to forcibly apportion the payment, he might not be able to leave the palace after the emperor's will was drawn up in the future!

Not to mention, those local emperors who are high in the sky and far away.

Seeing that Zhu Xu retracted his words so quickly, Sun Chengzong felt relieved when he knew that Zhu Xu was sensible.

However, King Xin didn't care much about it, and said: "I believe that all taxes should be checked by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Punishment."

"allow!"

Although Zhu Xu went there for the tea tax, it would be best to check all kinds of huge profits, including medicinal materials.

Naturally, these ministers didn't understand Zhu Xu's intentions, nor did they know that Jin Yiwei had started to find out quietly.

Zhu Xu glanced down, and said lightly, "Next."

Chen Liangxun stood up in response to the incident, and said to Zhu Xu: "Your Majesty, please abolish the Jinyiwei!"

Zhu Xu narrowed his eyes, glanced at Zhu Youjian, and looked at the memorial in front of him. This is today's court proposal, and he hasn't read it yet.

Sure enough, the third article is to discuss the abolition of Jinyiwei.

Zhu Xu looked calm, and said indifferently: "What is the reason?"

Chen Liangxun stood proudly like a pine, and said in a generous tone: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has committed many crimes since its establishment, especially Wei Zhongxian took power arbitrarily and persecuted courtiers. I look at the past, present and future, and Mingjun will not do it. Therefore, please abolish it!"

Chapter 215

"My minister also agrees." The censor Xunyan came out and said, "Your Majesty, the governor's prison is actually the place of ghosts and asuras, a dark and obscure place, please abolish it!"

The servant of the Ministry of Punishment stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has always spent a lot of money, especially Wei Zhongxian who is in power, spending hundreds of thousands at every turn, and I seconded the proposal to abolish it!"

Seven or eight people in a row seconded the proposal, and finally Wang Shaohui and Ni Wenhuan also stood up.

"Your Majesty, the national treasury is now empty. I would like to abolish many useless yamen to ease expenses and save tax money for other purposes."

Even Yang Lian stood up.

Zhu Xu's expression remained unmoved, but he thought to himself, his tone was quite tactful, I'm afraid Zhu Youjian's thoughts had been on his mind long ago.

And Yang Lian and others also hated Jin Yiwei deeply, so they hit it off immediately.Jinyiwei was abolished, and the East Factory was no longer in effect, and the two major intelligence agencies of Ming Dynasty were abolished in one go.

Gu Bingqian kept watching Zhu Xu, and soon he thought of Luo Yangxing. His heart moved, and he stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, I object. Jinyiwei has been in existence for 200 years and has made many achievements. It should not be abolished if it is a little bad."

"My minister seconded the proposal." Gu Bingqian's followers immediately stood up and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei was appointed by Taizong Taizong, and the ancestral law must not be discarded!"

"Your Majesty, I also agree with you, Jin Yiwei should not move lightly."

"Jin Yiwei's bad deeds are all about employing people. I think that the emperor is wise and the minister is good, so it should not be abolished."

Soon, there was another quarrel in the court.The Donglin Party, plus the Xinwang Party, argued fiercely with Gu Bingqian's party, and it was impossible to fight.

It's rare for Gu Bingqian to find an opportunity to flatter, so naturally he won't let it go easily.Even though he knew he was alone and alone, he still looked like a martyr, with an air of fearlessness.

Zhu Xu laughed secretly, nodded to Gu Bingqian calmly, then looked at Zhu Youjian and said, "King Xin, what do you think?"

The courtiers were not surprised at all, this is almost a fixed pattern of the new emperor, every time before making a decision, they would ask Xin Wang such a question.

Zhu Youjian's face remained unchanged, he stepped forward and said: "Go back to the emperor, I agree with the abolition."

Zhu Xu nodded lightly, glanced at the officials, and said calmly: "Department of household, from next year, the salary of Jinyiwei will stop."

"My Emperor Shengming."

The ministers who supported the abolition were overjoyed, and even Zhu Youjian stepped forward.

Zhu Xu looked at this group of people excited, but secretly said in his heart, "Did I say it was abolished?"

"Next one." Zhu Xu said expressionlessly.

The Shaanxi Taoist censor came out and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, there is a severe drought in Shaanxi, and the governor of Shaanxi will ask for 70 taels of silver."

Zhu Xu looked at Gu Bingqian and said, "What did the cabinet say?"

Gu Bingqian took a step forward, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty Qizuo, the treasury tax and money have already gone, and it is difficult to pay the money."

Zhu Xu turned his gaze to Fu Changzong and said, "The Ministry of Household Affairs."

Fu Changzong came out and said: "Back to the emperor, the treasury of the Ministry of Finance has already been exhausted, and the previous silver ring has not been collected yet. Minister, please send the internal money."

Cao Huachun frowned, stepped forward and said, "All the internal funds have been sent out, and all the money will be taken over by the cabinet and transferred to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

The court hall suddenly whispered and buzzed.

"The internal funds have been used up..."

"Yeah, 500 million taels in the front and 300 million taels in the back, there should be no money in the palace..."

"Then what should we do? Shaanxi has experienced a severe drought in recent years, and locust plagues have continued. If there is no relief, I'm afraid something will happen..."

"Not only in Shaanxi, but in the four southwestern provinces, especially Sichuan, the imperial court has no money, and the civil uprising is likely to intensify."
