Longevity begins with Jinyiwei

"It's over!"

Seeing his youngest son like this, Wang Wu's heart trembled, he slapped the little eunuch down to the ground, and asked almost hysterically, "You...what did you do!"

"I... I just changed the tax books for Big Brother and the others..."

"It's over!"

Hearing this, overwhelming despair immediately occupied Wang Wu's body and mind.

The will of the Son of Heaven has always been clear, the red circle is there, what can be done and what cannot be done is clear.

Taxation is a red line, if you touch it, you should be fined, you should be killed...

But if... change the tax book for storage?

Wang Wu sat paralyzed on the ground, looking at his bewildered young son, but couldn't help laughing miserably. He calculated and fought all his life, and in the end the one who stabbed him fiercely in the back turned out to be his own ineffective son.

It's really not ironic.

Chapter 595 Xiyi and the inner court 3000

In Qianqing Palace, the emperor stared at the figure lying on the ground in the distance. Beside the emperor, Er Dezi and Li Dingguo stood on both sides.

After a long time, the emperor withdrew his gaze, turned around suddenly, but his gaze was fixed on Er Dezi who followed respectfully beside him: "Are you very excited?"

"The servant is dedicated to serving His Majesty, and dare not have the slightest..."

Er Dezi fell to his knees with a thud, his face turned pale, and he quickly explained.

The Son of Heaven snorted coldly, but as if he didn't hear it, he stepped forward and headed towards the palace. Li Dingge glanced at the paralyzed Wang Wu and his son, and then at the kneeling Er Dezi, and couldn't help but frowned. wrinkle.

He seemed to understand why Duke Jing was so displeased with these eunuchs!

Cunning and vicious, flattering and flattering, he is really a scum!

"Tell me about the situation in the sea."

The emperor leaned on the reclining chair and pointed to the map hanging in the hall.

Li Dingguo accepted the order with his fists clasped, and then walked to the front of the map, pondered for a while, and then said: "Nowadays, the coastal areas of Nanjing, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian provinces have basically been cleared, and the only thing left is the sea area of ​​Qiongzhou, Guangdong..."

Li Dingguo talked for a long time before the emperor asked:

"What's the current situation in Taiwan and Ryukyu?"

Li Dingguo hesitated for a while, and bowed to the emperor: "Ryukyu has sent envoys to the capital to accept your majesty's canonization. As for Taiwan, the current situation is not right..."

The emperor frowned: "What's going on?"

"Taiwan has always been a stalemate between the Xiyi and Zheng Zhilong tribes. However, with the start of the Penghu water war...the war is focused on Quanzhou and Fujian's coastal areas for a generation, and the defense against Taiwan has become empty..."

"The Dutch from Xiyi, who were entrenched in Taiwan, took the opportunity to attack Zheng Zhilong's tribe, and then the Portuguese from Xiyi, and the Spaniards took the opportunity to enter Taiwan..."

"It's just that several Western Yi countries don't seem to be in harmony, and there are conquests against each other. Before the final general came to Beijing, Lord Yasukuni had ordered He Ping, the deputy commander of the navy, to lead the navy to Taiwan to support him. Thousands of guards marched to Taiwan..."

Hearing the already known military situation, the Son of Heaven also felt relieved. Of course, he already knew about the Taiwan war. There is absolutely no problem in completely pacifying Taiwan and keeping Taiwan intact.

The emperor pointed to the seat beside him, and said casually: "Okay, don't stick around, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Dingguo bowed respectfully, and then sat in front of the emperor obediently.

The emperor moved his body, chose a comfortable position to lie down, and said lazily:

"You have been in charge of the sea for many years, and the Quanzhou Shipping Department has also been opened for many years. You must have had a lot of exchanges with the Xiyi. Tell me about the situation of these Xiyi."

Li Dingguo asked suspiciously: "I don't know what aspect Your Majesty wants to hear?"

"just saying!"

The emperor waved his hand.

"The words of Xiyi gave the general the impression that most of them are similar to the barbarians in the Western Regions. They have their own cultural customs and value profits over righteousness. Many of them are resistant to our court's laws, especially our court's prohibitions. The Western religion is extremely resistant, and there are many behaviors that try to take advantage of loopholes..."

"Besides, there are many slaves and slaves in Xiyi. Most of the slaves are carbon black, and even weird. The investigation at the end of the day found that most of the countries in Xiyi are engaged in slave trading. The slaves are all from wood and bones. land, called black slaves."

"Black slaves are very common in Western countries. The Netherlands, Portugal, and Spain all have servants composed of black slaves in their armies."

"According to Zheng Zhilong's report, the Xiyi in Taiwan also plundered the local people of Taiwan as slaves and abused them to the extreme. The general also heard that in the pre-Ming period, the Dutch Xiyi attacked Macau. It is said that they plundered the people of our dynasty as slaves. thoughts..."

The emperor suddenly asked:

"For black slaves, can I buy and sell them to the people?"

Li Dingguo responded, "There are in Fujian."

The emperor frowned: "False Ming?"

"Yes, there are quite a few hypocritical wealthy businessmen and dignitaries who have kept a lot of black slaves in their families, and even compete with each other by the number of black slaves they keep in their homes..."

The emperor's face was very ugly: "Have you killed it?"

Li Dingguo was a little apprehensive: "Most of those hypocritical dignitaries were confiscated and punished, and the black slaves were all arrested by soldiers sent by Yasukuni to work as coolies."

Hearing this, the emperor's expression softened a lot: "The coolies belong to the coolies, and these black slaves must not be allowed to stain the blood of our ancestors."

"Furthermore, Daheng does not allow slaves to appear!"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the regulations of the Municipal Shipping Department promulgated by the Ministry of Households last year have already been stipulated, and the Ningbo Municipal Shipping Department will also strictly follow the laws and regulations, and wait for the stability of several provinces in Fujian..."

The emperor nodded, but there seemed to be a little more thoughtful expression between his brows. With the pacification of the south of the Yangtze River, the major cities and shipping companies must be launched one after another, and the sea trade will inevitably flourish.

What followed would inevitably be the unprecedented exchanges between the East and the West, culture, economy, military, politics...

But Daheng doesn't seem to have made much preparations yet. The officials in charge of this area are still handling the affairs of this new era according to the old experience in the past.

After thinking about it for just a moment, the emperor suppressed this idea. The experience of the old age also has the benefits of the old age.

In the whole world, is it the land of the king?On the shore of the land, could it be the kings and ministers, if they are not in the central dynasty system, they are barbarians from outside, and the Daheng scholar-bureaucrats have almost arrogant disdain.

Although this is extremely unreasonable, foreign trade exchanges are not bad. As the times develop, people will naturally change accordingly. There is no need for him to insist on this.

After asking again, the emperor said again: "In the past few years, are you going to continue to lead the navy in the sea area, or return to the capital?"

The sudden question made Li Dingguo silent.

Soon, Li Dingguo got up and cupped his fists and said, "The final decision is up to His Majesty."

The emperor got up and stared at the Daheng Qiankun map: "Now the center lacks people who understand the ocean and the Western Yi. You should serve in the general staff first."

"There are several coastal provinces in the south of the Yangtze River. I'm afraid it will be difficult for a Jiangnan navy to maintain the stability of the sea area. You should think about it carefully, and draw up a charter with the staff of the general staff, and discuss it carefully..."

Li Dingguo immediately took orders: "The last general obeys."

The emperor nodded and said with emotion: "From the end of the Ming Dynasty to the present, after fighting for so many years, it's time to take it easy."

"Your boy is also taking a good rest in the capital. After a few more years, the country will be stable, and you don't have time to rest if you want to!"

"I will understand at the end."

The emperor waved his hand: "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, go back and have a good rest, and then go to the general staff in a few days."

"I will retire at the end."

Li Dingguo took the order and retreated respectfully.

The emperor's eyes were dark, and he picked up a file on the table. To be precise, it was the criminal evidence against Wang Wu, the chief executive of the inner court, that Er Dezi handed over a few months ago.

What about cultivating cronies and colluding with party members, the emperor naturally didn't take these criminal evidences to heart.

What the Son of Heaven cares about is the daring and reckless deeds of Wang Wu, the youngest son who followed into the palace!

Together with his eldest brother and second brother, and Wang Wu's other two sons, they managed to manage an industrial chain in this palace!

Since the establishment of the Daheng tax system, the commercial firms affiliated to the inner court have to pay heavy taxes, and this tax is for internal funds, and the review is naturally also the review of the inner court.

Originally, the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Metropolitan Procuratorate also had the right to audit, but after repeated civil turmoil, the emperor directly terminated this right of the court.

In this way, boldness is created!

Namely, falsification of tax books!

Cooperating with two brothers who hold important positions in Changlong Grain Bank, Li Yingwai, on the one hand, concealed and missed reports, and on the other hand, used Wang Wu's power to cover up, tampered with tax books, and checked for omissions to fill in the gaps!

If it's just the bastard thing of Wang Wu's three sons, the emperor can't think of Wang Wu's hard work and put it down.

But that bastard, wearing a tiger skin to seek justice for his brother, was not satisfied, and even used it as a cover for other power holders of the inner court business firm to make false accounts.

Forcibly created an industrial chain of tax evasion, false accounts, and loss of public wealth and private interests!

What audacity!

Even after a few months, the emperor couldn't suppress his anger. He glanced at Er Dezi who was standing bowed. The emperor casually threw the dossier over, suppressing his anger and said, "Are you all watching?"

"Your Majesty, put it down, the servant has already arranged for someone to watch it, and promises that there will be no mistakes."

The emperor scolded: "Go to the cabinet and ask the Ministry of Households to quickly set up the shelf of the tax department!"

"The slave obeys."

The joy flashed across Er Dezi's face, and he quickly respectfully accepted the order and left.

The Son of Heaven rubbed his forehead, and couldn't help but feel a big head.

In the past, he could procrastinate on the issue of the bank and the bank, but now, he has to consider the future of the bank and the bank that belong to the inner court.

It is obviously not feasible to completely belong to the inner court and belong to a certain eunuch.

The foundation of a country cannot rest on one person's heart.

There must be an effective system that encloses banks and commercial firms. Even if there is a problem, it will not be like this time, and there will be such a big mistake in silence!

It is obvious that he gave this basket to the tax department Liwei, so it is easy to know that the civil servants of the imperial court will never let go of this opportunity to intervene in the bank.

How to let them intervene, to what extent, and what kind of system, imperial court, inner court, and how to grasp this balance...

And, uprooting Wang Wu, who should be mentioned to fill this vacancy...

Er Dezi is a good dog, but this dog has evil intentions. It is fine to let him bite people, but the current political structure is civil and military checks and balances, and imperial power is supreme.

As soon as the imperial power made a decision, it naturally didn't need the eunuch dog to do too many things. Therefore, this dog didn't need to be too strong, just enough.

Dogs are too strong to do any harm!

"Troublesome..."

The emperor let out a long breath and shook his head helplessly. Don't even think about living this year!

Chapter 596 Killing the Monkey and Showing It to the Chicken

"Why... why are you so stupid!"

In the inner court yamen, Wang Wu was full of despair, looking at the kneeling sons in front of him, trembling all over, almost lost his voice.

"This... This is to make my Wang family beyond redemption!"

He has worked so hard for so many years, even at the expense of being castrated into the palace in his old age, just to make the holy scroll last and leave a legacy of holy scroll to the descendants of his royal family.

With Holy Scroll Ende, why not have power and wealth!

Why is the cart before the horse, why is it so stupid!

Wang Wulao burst into tears, and his heart was ashamed!

"Father, it's not that serious, is it?"

"Isn't it just a little tax money? The entire bank and so many commercial firms are all accumulated by you through hard work. What if we take a little?"

"Hahahahaha..."

Wang Wu laughed loudly, and he didn't know whether he was laughing at himself or his descendants.

How could such words come from the mouth of a descendant of eunuch who relied on holy scrolls to stand in the world?

This catastrophe and this somersault of his Wang family is really unjust!

Wang Wu struggled to get up from the ground, completely ignoring the kneeling sons, and staggered towards the outside of the mansion.

When the door of the mansion was pushed open, as expected, several Jin Yiwei also came closer, although they didn't say a word, but the meaning of monitoring and guarding was very clear.

Wang Wu still walked on his own, and the Jinyi guards did not stop him, just following Wang Wu until he reached the palace gate, and then several eunuchs followed.

In the imperial palace at this time, the New Year's atmosphere still exists, but the shadow that has swept in silently has completely shrouded the imperial palace!
