The 265th chapter joint maritime trade (1)
For the current Ming Dynasty, it is necessary to take a phased journey, just like climbing a mountain. Only when you walk steadily and steadily can you avoid stepping on the shortage and prevent falling into the abyss.
under.
The dispute over the foundation of the country started by the Wanli Dynasty and the party struggle formed gradually led to the deterioration of the Ming Dynasty's administration. Through the intensification of the Taichang and Tianqi dynasties, it had long accumulated into a solidified pattern.
The human heart is the most difficult to change.
A tight hoop cannot be worn in one day.
The civil servant group of Ming Dynasty did not easily surrender.
The special killing of the Qing Dynasty was to force officials and gentry to kneel down and call slaves, which was not suitable for the Ming Dynasty during the Chongzhen period.
If this is the case, it will violate the concept of industrial development that Emperor Chongzhen has always planned. After all, the benchmark for industrial development is order and stability.
"Duke Chengguo, you said that Your Majesty summoned us and waited for a while at the Governor's Office of the Beijing Guard. What is the so-called thing? All the honorary relatives in the Beijing have been summoned."
"Yes, is it related to the recent storm in the court? But what does the dispute between civil servants have to do with us? We have nothing to do with civil servants."
"Who said it was not? I heard that what Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren and others did in the cabinet have caused strong dissatisfaction among many civil servants. The dispute between civil servants is really fierce."
"Han's life has been difficult recently. Many Donglin Party members have been involved. If you want to say that Wen Tiren is cruel enough, why do you think about pursuing disaster relief and allocating food and salary?"
"What if he doesn't matter, now I am a lord with no official position. In front of the Marquis of Kong Twinzi, I save myself from having to worry about some errands here."
The capital of the Beijing Guard General Office was headed by Duke Cheng, Zhu Chunchen and Duke Ding Xu Yunzhen. The hereditary honors and relatives in the capital were all gathered together and discussed with each other.
Of course, there are also some honorary relatives who are not listed here, such as British Duke Zhang Zhiji, Xinle Hou Liu Wenbing, Xuancheng Bo Wei Shitai and other honorary relatives who are trusted by the emperor.
Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen sat firmly on the official hat chair, looking at the messy scene in front of him, without answering from beginning to end, but they couldn't help but feel gurgling in their hearts.
The two of them looked at each other from time to time, and it was obvious that it was difficult to understand thoroughly when the emperor summoned him into the palace.
Not to mention the things I have experienced before, but just the recent events, they are called Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen and others, and they are frightened.
There were constant storms in the court and the war situation in Liaodong was unstable. This made them inevitably think deep in their hearts, the previous chaotic Ancestral Dynasty!
"Duke of England."
"Duke of England~"
Some of the voices of honorary relatives called Zhu Chunchen. Xu Yunzhen raised his head and saw Zhang Zhiji wearing a python robe. He quickly walked into the main hall, and his eyebrows were frowning slightly.
Zhang Zhiji looked serious and said loudly: "Your Majesty will call on all the ministers to meet."
"I will follow the edict."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen and others stood up and bowed, saying, "I have been in the main hall of the Beijing Guard Governor's Office for almost half an hour, which made many people unsure."
Following the taciturn Zhang Zhiji, he rushed to the Qianqing Palace. The soldiers of Shangzhi's personal guards stood upright like a withered sculpture, which made Zhu Chunchen feel very moved.
Now, the Beijing Guard Governor's Office, although he is in charge of the left governor, the real power is not in his hands. The powers of the Forbidden City and the Imperial City, including the imperial guards and inspections, have long been assigned to Liu Wenbing and Wei Shitai and others by the emperor.
Especially the Forbidden City, it is airtight.
It is difficult for those who are interested outside the palace to find out about the situation in the palace.
The main hall of the Ganqing Palace.
Liu Wenbing, Wei Shitai and more than ten honorary relatives stood outside the hall, and they were also worried. What was the case when the emperor specially summoned the honorary relatives in Jing to the palace?
Since Tang Guozuo and Zhu Guobi were killed and their homes were confiscated, except for a few honorary relatives in the Beijing Guard Governor's Office, other honorary relatives understood one thing that the emperor had a very bad attitude towards them.
In addition to being able to serve in the Governor's Office of the Five Army, the last piece of private land in the Jingying camp was also taken away by the emperor, which made many honorary and relatives lose their investment.
In addition, Zhang Zhiji, Liu Wenbing, and Wei Shitai, who were highly valued, were isolated by most of the honorary relatives and became a minority.
But this was exactly what Emperor Chongzhen wanted.
The Ming Dynasty’s honorary and relatives are unified within the group, so how can he divide, win over and suppress? After all, some honorary and relatives need to be gradually eliminated.
This process may be slow, but the core purpose will not change.
Use time to simplify everything.
"I'll pay my respects to Your Majesty."
Countless tributes sounded in the main hall. Emperor Chongzhen sat firmly on the dragon throne, scanning Zhang Zhiji, Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen and other honorary relatives.
"No gift."
Emperor Chongzhen said calmly: "I believe many people are puzzled in their hearts that I have specially summoned all the ministers to the palace. What is the so-called thing?
Nothing else.
I just want to talk to you about the hearts and talk about the recent batch of business names and fleets in Tianjin, such as Duke Cheng and Duke Ding, you should know about it."
Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen were shocked, and their heads were drooping, showing a look of surprise. Could it be that what they did privately that the emperor discovered?
In the court, many honorary relatives' faces changed slightly.
"minister…"
Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen all bowed and bowed, their thoughts were a little confused, and they didn't know what to say for a moment.
"Move in."
With the instructed look of the emperor, Wang Chengen, holding the whisk in his hand, stepped forward a few steps, passed through the crowd in front of him, and said loudly to the outside of the hall.
"Here!"
With a reply, the eunuchs in the inner court headed by Han Zanzhou walked into the main hall with piles of eucalyptus slips and a long table.
The scene that appeared in front of him was not only Zhu Chunchen, but also Xu Yunzhen and others, but even Zhang Zhiji and Liu Wenbing were also confused.
What exactly are these?
"Let's take a look, and then have a good chat after reading it, and the matter of United Hai Trade."
Emperor Chongzhen lifted his sleeves, pointed at the piles of medicinal notes in front of him, and said calmly: "I don't know if I don't check it, I'm really shocked when I check it.
Luo Yangxing led the Jinyiwei and followed the clues and found a lot of things. You guys, many of you, had worked so hard to deceive me.
I have opened a business in private and have a lot of land. The combined family income is more than my treasury. I am really curious about how you... have accumulated these family income?
Only those who can be placed in the Ministry of Revenue can be the Minister of Revenue."
"!
!”
What Emperor Chongzhen said was called Zhu Chunchen, Xu Yunzhen and other honorary relatives, all of whom changed their faces. Without their knowledge, they were all checked clearly by the Jinyiwei?!
