Now the four Cabinet Grand Secretary are the leaders of various factions, and there are people who support them all behind them, so naturally they have to benefit the people who support them. This is an obvious thing.

Money is always a very, very important thing.

First of all, you can get it from the crack of your finger and get it to your home. That is something that ordinary people dare not think of, and this can be considered as a benefit for your subordinates.

Secondly, this money can be used to do things. What is the most important thing to be an official in addition to making money?

Of course, it was promoted.

If you want to be promoted, you have to do things; if you want to do things, you have to be rich. This is an eternal truth.

So before the money was obtained, the four of them started to worry about it. The reason is very simple. If you don’t worry about it now, it would be too late to think about it in others’ hands.

So the atmosphere between the cabinets is quite strange. Han Yu and the other four seemed to be back at the time of guarding against each other and fighting each other.

As for whether this money can be obtained, they are not worried. The reason is very simple, and this money is definitely something that can be obtained.

Why do you think so?

That's because they knew that the nobles and nobles no longer had the ability to resist. With His Majesty and his side cooperating with each other, these nobles and nobles could only admit defeat.

The fact is just as Han Yu and others expected, the situation is like this between the nobles and the nobles, so the next step is to decide who will collect the money.

There are two yamen now qualified to do this, one is Shuntian Mansion and the other is the Ministry of Revenue.

If Shuntian Mansion is concerned, your qualifications are not very good. After all, not every noble and noble family is in the capital. They also have land in their hometowns, so your Shuntian Mansion cannot stretch out that long hand.

If handed over to local prefectures and counties, it seems to be the most appropriate approach.

As for the Ministry of Revenue to accept it directly, it is not in accordance with the rules. However, looking at Xu Guangqi's eagerness to try, he obviously is not going to miss this opportunity.

So the struggle began, and they each launched their own relationship and began to plan the matter.

In the West Garden.

Zhu Youxiao put down the tea bowl casually and said slowly: "It will be a headache to take down all these questions."

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and signaled Chen Hong to remove the things.

Chen Hong quickly asked someone to take away the things, and he also saw that the emperor was unhappy.

In these question books, few people talk about serious matters, most of them talk about trivial matters, but the hidden things behind them are quite large.

Everyone was focused on taxes, but Zhu Youxiao did not want to hand over the taxes to them.

Isn’t it the same as the current situation if all taxes are handed over to local officials?

If you send the meat buns to the dog's mouth, it will be a ghost if you can get them back.

As for letting the Ministry of Revenue directly accept it, Zhu Youxiao didn't want to do this. The reason is very simple, he wanted to use this to do one thing.

It's just the beginning, not the end.

With a gentle sigh, Zhu Youxiao stood up and said, "It's up to Zhao Bingzhong to enter the palace!"

After hearing this, Chen Hong said, "Yes, Emperor, I will go now."

Zhao Bingzhong from Tongzhengsi is a person that most people in the Ming Dynasty dare not provoke.

Compared with the Censorate, the Tongzheng Department is now more scary, and its reputation is even more chasing the East Factory and the Jinyiwei.

No one knows when he will be impeached to the Tongzheng Department, and no one knows when he will be plotted against. When the Tongzheng Department arrives, you don’t even know what happened.

So now when people from Tongzhengsi, they are walking around the corner, for fear of being found.

Chen Hong didn't know what the emperor had to ask Zhao Bingzhong for, but it was definitely not a good thing.

In fact, there is nothing big about Zhu Youxiao asking Zhao Bingzhong to come, and it is indeed a good thing.

However, once this matter starts, the movement may be a bit big, so Zhu Youxiao asked Zhao Bingzhong to secretly explain some things.

Zhao Bingzhong arrived soon, and Tongzhengsi was not far from Xiyuan.

However, Zhao Bingzhong was a little panting when he came, and it was obvious that he was walking quickly along the way.

"Don't be so anxious, there's nothing big about it." Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhao Bingzhong and said slowly.

"Your Majesty's affairs are all major matters, and I dare not delay them for a moment." Zhao Bingzhong quickly bowed and said, with a serious expression and a serious tone.

"Okay, sit down and talk." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

When Zhao Bingzhong sat down on the stool that Chen Hong brought, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "I came here today because I wanted you to do something. Now the Tongzhengsi store is very big, and I know you are very busy, but I still have to tell you to do this."

"You have to remember that this matter can only be carried out in secret and cannot leak the news."

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do the job well," said Zhao Bingzhong.

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said with a smile: "I am naturally relieved to leave the matter to you. After you go back, let your people pay attention to the situation of the garrisons in various places, first touch me to see how much land they have occupied and what bad things they have done over the years. When you take action in the future, there will be a reason."

"I have also read the Tongzhengsi Department. There are not many impeachments on this aspect. I don't believe that the Ming army has reached the point of being clear and calm. Obviously, after so many years, they have been connected, and no one is willing to jump out. Everyone is the same, so there is no distinction between black and white. But if they don't come, you can go and check it carefully. Do you understand?"

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange personnel when I go back, and I will definitely not disappoint Your Majesty." Zhao Bingzhong said hurriedly.

"By the way, you can continue to use the people from the Jinyiwei. Be careful when dealing with the army. Don't let someone hold a knife to chop your subordinates, but you should pay attention to some safety." Zhu Youxiao gave another instruct.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know how to do it. Your Majesty's concern is the Minister of the Communist Party of China," said Zhao Bingzhong.

"Okay, there's no need to say that. Go ahead and get things done and then get a reward." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, I will leave." Zhao Bingzhong agreed and bowed and retreated.

After Zhao Bingzhong left, Zhu Youxiao sighed softly.

After pondering for a while, Zhu Youxiao turned to Chen Hong and said, "I will send an order to the cabinet, and tomorrow morning, the ministers and ministers of the six ministers of the cabinet, and the chief officials of the Dali Temple of the Censorate, and go to the palace to discuss matters."

"Yes, the emperor, I will go." Chen Hong quickly agreed.

"Wait," Zhu Youxiao reached out and called him, thought for a while and added: "At the same time, the nobles and nobles with ranks above the marquis and above will be summoned to the palace to participate in the discussion together."

"Yes, the emperor." Chen Hong agreed again, turned around and walked out.

The imperial edict was quickly conveyed, causing an uproar in an instant.

It is not a new thing for the emperor to find someone to discuss matters. Whether it is to find a cabinet or call everyone, it is normal; but it is rare to call a nobleman and a nobleman to discuss matters.

However, everyone understands that there is a result of the tax on farmland, so naturally no one thinks that this matter will not be successful.

Although some people still have fantasies in their hearts, smart people know that paying taxes on farmland is a foregone conclusion.

The next morning, all the civil officials and nobles and relatives entered the palace.

The civil servants were brought in by Han Du, and the nobles and grandfathers were naturally brought in by British Duke Zhang Weixian.

After everyone entered the palace and stood there, Zhu Youxiao turned out from behind.

The ministers did not dare to neglect and salute together.

"You all love me, please don't give me a gift!" Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon throne and raised his hand gently.

After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao said, "Call you here today, I believe you all know why."

"I was originally just Duke Cheng's words after drinking for a while, and I didn't take them seriously. But who would have thought that it caused a sensation in the court and the country, causing public discussions. I have summoned you all to discuss this matter today."

"The day before yesterday, the Duke of England found me and said that this was the loyalty of his ministers. If I disagree, I may lose my heart. This is also something I am worried about. Please discuss it with me."

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao's eyes fell on the side of the nobles and Xunqi.

The reason is very simple. This matter is theirs, and they should just talk about it first.

But something that no one expected happened, and Li Zhizao, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, stood up first.

Li Zhizao took a step forward and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I have something to say."

Zhu Youxiao didn't expect Li Zhizao to stand up.

The faces of the nobles and Xunqi suddenly became a little unfavorable.

But they all stood up and couldn't drive them back. So Zhu Youxiao said, "What do you want to say?"

"Report to Your Majesty, I congratulate you." Li Zhizao said with a bright smile on his face.

"The Ming Dynasty has been around for more than 200 years. Many nobles and honorary relatives have committed illegal activities. The children of various families are even scolded for being worms. But from the matter this time, the nobles and honorary relatives are not inferior to their ancestors in terms of their right and wrong. This kind of loyalty to the emperor and the country is really admirable." Li Zhizao said with an eloquence.

His central idea is only one, that is, flattery.

Li Zhizao simply praised the upstart and honorary relatives to heaven. He gave strong praise to Duke Cheng's behavior, and at the same time gave a very high evaluation of the political atmosphere of the monarch and ministers in the court.

"This is your majesty's credit. Your majesty is higher than the sky, and it is really a model for the king!"

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chaise and looked at Li Zhizao with his mouth full of saliva, and sighed helplessly. He really killed people without a knife!

It seems to be a compliment, but in fact it is to put the nobles and relatives on the fire and roast them.

It's all about this, do you have the nerve to take the words back?

After Li Zhizao, Cui Chengxiu also stood up, then praised her and emphasized the matter of Xining Hou, which was simply a vague threat.

The faces of the nobles and Xunqi were even worse.
