Chapter 113 The sober ministers

"He Yuanwailang, what are you talking about? Is it allowed to say this?

Grand Bachelor, please tell me. His Majesty scolded him so rudely that day, and you were among them.

All the officials in the court governed the world for him, but he did not care about the appearance of his officials.

I feel angry just thinking about it. If I hadn’t still had some prestige in my hometown, the villagers in my village would have turned against me long ago, but he insulted me like this."

Chen Yan above opened his eyes and glanced at the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who was speaking, and then continued to close his eyes, secretly sighing in his heart, is this guy worthy?

Doesn't anyone here know that many people in this guy's hometown are starving to death, and even if they ask him to give him some food, he won't give it, just because the fields belong to his peers if they starve to death.

"Grand Master, if you don't say anything, then the student should be brave enough to mention it."

The person who claims to be a student is Qian Jun, who was forced to come over from Jiangnan and has some blood relationship with Qian Qianyi.

I asked Chen Yan to help me, and I am still preparing for the last exam in the Imperial College. After some hard work, the new top three will be announced.

Listening to his speech, Chen Yan opened his eyes and stared at him intently.

"What do you want to say?"

"The students want to say.

I would like to say that it would be better for you, Grand Master, to lead us to a collective strike. As long as everyone does not go to court, Your Majesty will have no choice but to compromise.

This time, we can ask him to completely depose Jinyiwei, or move him out of the capital and send him to Jinzhou."

Qian Jun was stunned by Chen Yan's eyes. Among all the people present, he was the only one who was a student, so he was not allowed to participate in the discussion.

However, everyone present was led by Chen Yan, so it was okay to talk.

"That's right. Didn't His Majesty say that there are many people in the world who are against us? As long as you, the great scholar, unite with the other cabinet ministers, all the ministers in the court will cooperate with you. We will not go to court or go on duty. Let Your Majesty see which scholars to find.

he."

"Yes, yes, yes! Let's stop going to court! Grand Master, as long as you and the other cabinet ministers negotiate, we won't go to court.

Nowadays, officials are dissatisfied with their salaries, and various places use Changpingcang to reissue some salaries. Your Majesty, you are so aggressive, what is wrong with this world? This is not a world for us scholars."

"Stop the court, unite the six ministries, and all give up their crowns.

Nowadays, everyone in the world is getting rid of their scarves, and no one knows that the imperial court can’t even get out the money.”

"Grand Bachelor, please say something!"

Everyone began to feel a little confused. Although Chen Yan did not initiate the gathering today, it was Chen Yan who agreed to it. How come there was no movement at all in the end.

Chen Yan's eyes were closed again. He put one hand on his wrist and tapped it on the Taotie stainless steel bracelet given by Emperor Chongzhen. His brain was running rapidly.

These people had ulterior motives in teasing him today, and even gave him a lot of gifts in private, but he couldn't help but wonder if Chongzhen had already heard about the discussion in the courtyard.

He didn't dare to gamble, Chongzhen's ability was too mysterious and unpredictable.

He knew the military intelligence of Jiannu.

He knew about the Jinzhou Mongols who were bribed by Jiannu.

He also knew how the rebels attacked Xiangyang.

The Jiannu spies committed an assassination in the city and were caught within a few days.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but look up at the roof.

He had a faint feeling that Jin Yiwei was nearby, even in the corner, and even the people who encouraged him were members of Jin Yiwei.

He hasn't made enough money yet, and he hasn't even eaten the pie that Chongzhen gave them to several ministers. So let him commit suicide?

He didn't know that in another place at this time, two housekeepers were wearing headphones, following the tapping movements of his fingers, cursing and recording while listening.

"Qian Jun, students are not allowed to discuss politics, don't you know?"

"Teacher, I..."

"If you want to call it quits, go ahead. Don't blame me for not reminding you that there are many distinguished sons and daughters in the capital, and there are also many eunuchs studying there.

Even if Your Majesty does not dare to offend Tianxia Youyou, if you really let the eunuchs come in, it will not be difficult to find hundreds of scholars to support the six departments of the capital and let the eunuchs cooperate and control it."

Hearing Chen Yan's words, a group of people woke up instantly.

If they were dismissed from office, they might really be giving benefits to others, especially since the attitudes of several other cabinet ministers are still unclear.

"Furthermore, His Majesty has recently been thinking about raising officials' salaries. Have you seen those things about the Royal Merchant Company?

As far as I know, the shopkeeper of the Royal Merchant Company has proposed to His Majesty that the Ministry of Revenue will in the future issue military coupons to each court official according to his rank, which will be used to purchase items from the Royal Merchant Company in each prefecture.

In other words, as long as you hold on to your position now, your remuneration in the future will be even better, so good that you won’t even look at the bits dug out of the ground.”

"What? Does the Grand Master really mean what he said?"

"Colleagues, how can you switch sides just because of a small profit? Does the Ministry of Household Affairs still have enough money and food to pay?"

"Yes, Your Majesty is just trying to trick people, isn't it? Where did the Ministry of Revenue get the money?"

Chen Yan did not continue to explain. He said what needed to be said. If these people want to die, then let them die. He only needs to make sure that the people he is most optimistic about do not seek death.

Qian Jun was reluctant and followed Chen Yan. Today he finally managed to encourage the junior officials to push Chen Yan to the stage. Unexpectedly, Chen Yan immediately relented.

"Grand Master, why do you want to help the tyrants do evil? How can you tolerate His Majesty's refusal to give face to the courtiers?"

"Qian Jun, I'm tired today, so I won't say a few more words.

Your Majesty has already written an edict summoning Shou's brother to come to the capital.

In the future, the capital will establish a new department, the Ministry of Education, and the recipient will be the Minister of Education.

But if your behavior today spreads out, I don’t know whether Brother Shou will be implicated."

When Qian Jun heard the news, he stood there as if struck by lightning.

Qian Qianyi is still hunkering down in his hometown, waiting to be activated. If Qian Qianyi is put on the bench again because of his behavior, he knows that someone in the family will definitely pull him out of the family tree.

"Grand Bachelor, thank you."

"Thank you very much. Just ask your family to bring more money, and I can help you run the business."

Chen Yan, who was walking in front, said without looking back.

It's just that he doesn't know that Qian Jun's official career has come to an end. Oh, he hasn't made it yet?

Forget it.

Jingshi East Factory.

In the courtyard of the listening room, there is an antenna sticking out of every room. The slight sound of the machine is mixed with the occasional beeping sound, and the intercom reports to Chongzhen.

The little eunuchs were listening to some content carefully, and then began to write down and put it into a small box. Among them was Chen Yan's discussion today.

After Chongzhen received the message in the palace, he looked at it, frowned and picked out one of them.

"Did Chen Yan take the wrong medicine? Is there any conspiracy?"

Chongzhen was thinking that according to his recent investigation and history, Chen Yan was the most corrupt among the cabinet ministers.

I originally planned to use this dismissal movement to get rid of him directly, but I didn't expect that this guy actually didn't follow the routine.

"Chongzhen: Shopkeeper, what do you think this is? They are all trying to stop the people below."

"Chen Ye: It's hard to say whether these chief ministers have the ability to govern the country, but they are not fuel-efficient. It can be seen that you have a fearless nature."

After Chongzhen sent Chen Yan's words to Chen Ye, Chen Ye thought about it and realized that this was the only possibility.

After all, those who can become a bachelor must not only be good at playing, but also have enough brains to be able to discern something from Chongzhen's arrangements.

They used information asymmetry to deceive the emperor, but if the emperor knew more than they did, then they would really be blind.

And Chongzhen is in this situation now. He has soldiers, food, money, and knows all the hidden secrets.

"Chongzhen: In this case, I will ignore it for the time being. I am still impulsive about this matter. I should let Chen Yan and others raise it, or wait until those students grow up."

"Chen Ye: You can't kill all the corrupt officials, but if you don't emphasize it at the beginning, new people who come in will form a habit.

Only if the old people have no chance to take action, the new officials will not have so many opportunities to learn. When the time comes, they will help you in turn. Because the seniors are greedy, why can't I be greedy?

If you can’t be greedy, then I’ll ask senior to spit out the greedy ones.”

"Chongzhen: Wonderful."

After seeing the message from Chen Ye, Chongzhen was convinced. He chatted with Chen Ye for a while and ended the conversation.

Chongzhen held his mobile phone and was thinking about what new dishes to eat tonight while playing.

In the corner, Wang Chengen was writing notes furiously. There was a stand on the table, and the tablet on it was playing a video selected by Chen Ye for Wang Chengen to train other people.

"Wang Banban."

"Your Majesty, I am here."

Upon hearing Chongzhen's call, Wang Chengen quickly clicked to pause the video and walked to Chongzhen's side in two steps.

"I asked you to arrange for people to be stationed at the radio station set up by the New Army. How is the progress?"

"Back to your Majesty, I asked you this morning that the last set of pedal generators are left to be completed. It is expected that the experiment can be carried out tonight and put into use tomorrow."
