Chapter 695

"Ah Yee...Ah Yee..."

Dong Hu rubbed his nose and Da Ya, who was about to go to Chang'an, was a little worried.

"It's still a little cold, my husband needs to pay more attention to his health."

I knew my body, and Dong Hu didn't care about rubbing his nose.

"hehe……"

"It's probably Cao Ah who is talking bad about us and cursing us..."

Dong Hu smiled, squatted in front of his son Dong Ning with a serious look on his face.

"Dad is not by your side, you are the boss of the family. You have to take care of your younger brothers and sisters, listen to your mother, learn more from your husband, and never be tempted..."

"Did you remember?"

Dong Ning lowered his head and spoke softly after a while.

"Ning'er...Ning'er wants to go into battle with her father to kill the enemy..."

"hehe……"

Dong Hu rubbed his little head very much.

"Brothers who fight tigers, father and son soldiers to fight. But you are still too young. When you grow up a little, your father will take you to fight to kill the enemy and make achievements!"

"Dad, Jing'er also wants to go into battle to kill the enemy!"

"Ha ha……"

The waiter Dong Jing's little hand was high like a competing for favor, and Dong Hu laughed to the sky and rubbed his little head hard.

Each child pinched a few times and explained a few words. The children were too young. Except for Xiao Dongbai, the other children had to go to Chang'an. After explaining the children one by one, they once again explained their mother's precautions, especially hygiene...

"What should be said is clearly stated. Since Han Sui and Bian Zhang rebelled, the people of the Sanfu in Chang'an have not been able to rest and recuperate. After the princes of all walks of life have been even more miserable. After you go to Chang'an, you should be as lenient as possible to rest with the people."

Dong Hu looked at the officials and was extremely solemn.

"Human nature is greedy, and the fields in Guanzhong are basically ours, at least in name, but we know that you are officials and need some land to support your family, so we will relax some restrictions and allow you to legally buy and sell some land..."

"but!"

"The maximum tenant rent cannot exceed 50%, and 10% of the tax must be withdrawn from the tenant rent!"

"Whether the birds eat, the food they dry are lost, or the consumption you transport grain to the people, the use of plowing oxen, etc. These are your own business. Let's only look at the harvest of tenants. If the minimum food is not reached 50%, don't blame us for turning against others!"

Dong Hu looked at Cai Yong, Ruan Yu, and Lu Cui.

"Mr. Cai, the Censorate has almost become your one-man show. If we learn from Lao Guo about the story of the Censorate, and even help others embezzle the treasury and exploit the people, don't blame us for stripping the Censorate from top to bottom!"

If Dong Hu did not mention Guo Sheng, the admiral of the East Factory, Cai Yong would not have had thick and breathing.

"snort!"

"I am not a greedy eunuch!"

Cai Yong was angry and reused the eunuch again, and did not care whether Guo Sheng was in front of him, so he frowned again and was unhappy.

"You boy don't know how the Ten Eunuchs do evil things. There are so many loyal and virtuous people in the world. Why do you still value a group of eunuchs so much?"

Seeing that Old Man Cai was angry and unhappy, Dong Hu walked forward with a smile on his face, and hugged his shoulders very much.

"People are divided into groups, and birds of feathers gather together."

"All of them are virtuous and virtuous people, all of whom are squeezing their heads together. Who knows if you are discussing our rebellion?"

"you……"

"Make it... why can you still be anxious?"

Cai Yong was about to angrily shake off the thick arms of the boy. How could Dong Hu's strength allow the good man to refuse? He was walking on the dirt road in public...

"The three ministers do not belong to each other, and the chief minister of the cabinet integrates all the rights and duties of the three ministers... To put it bluntly, the chief minister of the cabinet has greater power than the Grand Tutor and the prime minister, and is a real powerful minister."

"Of course, the world is in chaos, and the power of military and horses is in our hands, but you, the old man, should also know that this is a special period, and the world is determined in the future. The power of military and horses must be placed under the cabinet. The Ministry of War is in charge of the general's promotion and reduction of personnel and external combat power. The Governor's Office of the Five Army only supervises the training of soldiers and specifically commands the operations..."

"When we talk about this, you should understand what the Prime Minister means. The cabinet is almost the emperor. We have given you all such great power. Can't we even supervise the illegal things you have done?"

When Dong Hu formed the "Six Ministers and Envoys, Cabinet", even Da Ya, San Ya and the others thought that the cabinet was the Three Dukes and the Six Ministers were officials with five senses. Until Cai Yong ran from Liang to Luoyang, he was very dissatisfied with Dong Hu's request to Guo Sheng and a group of eunuchs to fix the Dongchang, others then knew what the cabinet actually meant.

Daya, Sanya was not very satisfied with letting go of the future imperial power, but this was a prerequisite for the empire to exist for a long time. What's more, Dong Hu was the first generation and his eldest son Dong Ning was the second generation. Once a new dynasty was established, it would be Taizu, like Taizong, and Da Ya's son would not be a puppet innately. The military power and nobles instinctively supported Dong Hu, Dong Ning and his son. If they wanted to lose their power, it was also the grandchildren's business. But at that time, Dong Hu and Da Ya might have passed away long ago. How much does it matter if their descendants were in power? Besides, what if their grandson was an incompetent prodigal son? What if they had made the world that had been fighting for the rest of their lives?

Dong Hu tried a lot to convince Da Ya that if the emperor was not capable, it would be better to have a clay carving wood sculpture. In addition, the supervision agencies of the Silijian, Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Censorate, and Dali Temple that had not yet been built were independent. In addition, the money houses and public opinion institutions controlled by the royal family were not really clay carving wood sculptures.

Anyway, it took a lot of effort to convince Da Ya. As for San Ya... it would be much easier to convince San Ya and other wives. The status of the eldest son Dong Ning cannot be shaken. Their sons do not want to occupy the position of the eldest son, but they can become generals and become the chief minister of the cabinet with great power in the world, as long as they have this ability.

The cabinet chief minister is almost decentralized by the imperial power. The second son, the third son, the fourth son... have a chance. Instead of competing for the throne of the clay carving and wood sculpture, it is better to snatch the cabinet chief minister!

Sanya is neither stupid nor stupid. Dong Hu took down several wives in a few words. As for the Kuwai... the Kuwai doesn't fight or rob, it's all his.

After hearing Dong Hu's words, Cai Yong felt helpless. He was a civil minister. As long as there was an "emperor", the battle between imperial power and ministers would not disappear. Now, Dong Hu actually wanted to give up this right. Although the old man could never imagine why the always cunning and cunning boy would do this, he could not say more about this matter. The group of officials behind the two were even more worried, not because of Dong Hu, but because Cai Yong had angered Dong Hu in these matters. What if the three dukes were restored, what would the prime minister do?

"well……"

Cai Yong sighed.

"If the world hadn't reached this point, I believe you wouldn't... but I still think you shouldn't have set up the East Factory, Jinyiwei."

Cai Yong still insisted on his own opinion. Dong Hu knew the harm of the Ten Constellations to the world and knew that the old man had no selfishness, and it was for his own good. But he knew even more that if Liu Hong had not been too slutty, the Ten Constellations would never have reached the peak of power.

The eunuchs are greedy for money and power, but they have a fatal flaw, that is, from the people to the officials of the court, they all hate and despise eunuchs. No matter whether the eunuchs themselves are honest or not, this concept will not change. Therefore, if the emperor does not support them, eunuchs will never think of doing evil. The root cause of eunuchs doing evil is not themselves, but the emperor behind them.

Dong Hu was not a person from this era. He knew a little about eunuchs from all dynasties and generations. There was only one eunuch who truly became emperors for thousands of years, that is, Cao Cao's grandfather Cao Teng, who was the emperor's title that Cao Wei conferred on Cao Teng after he took up the country.

Compared with civil and military officials, eunuchs were safer. At the end of the Tang Dynasty, if eunuchs had not repeatedly rebuilt the imperial guards, the Tang Dynasty might have perished a hundred years ahead of schedule. During the Ming Dynasty, Chongzhen killed Wei Zhongxian and lost eunuchs to support the Ming Empire, so that the Ming Dynasty could not survive the most difficult period. Even the ten eunuchs were not determined to kill all eunuchs and break the balance of power, how could the world fall to this point?

The emperors at the end of the Han Dynasty valued eunuchs, the late Tang Dynasty valued eunuchs, and the Huizong at the end of the Northern Song Dynasty valued eunuchs, and eunuchs even ran through the Ming Dynasty. Is it all because the emperor was too stupid? Isn’t the lesson of a dynasty’s destruction sufficient? Why do we have to value eunuchs?

Nothing else, no money!

The dynasty was not enough to make ends meet, and the emperor had no other way to explore wealth. He had to rely on eunuchs to dig up money to support the empty treasury. Moreover, the emperor's killing eunuchs would not have any "bad" impact on the court. He was the most economical and best scapegoat. After all, everyone was tired of eunuchs.

Because of the eunuchs' own characteristics, Dong Hu believed that they were the purest group of people. As long as they were subject to some strict rules and regulations, he did not think that it was a big deal to use eunuchs.

Looking at Old Man Cai’s lament, Dong Hu grinned.

"We didn't say that we wouldn't let you impeach the East Factory, Jinyiwei, and if Lao Guo did something illegal, he would impeach according to the rules and be punished!"

"snort!"

Cai Yong snorted angrily.

"How many times did the court officials impeach eunuchs for evil during the time of the late emperor? So what was the result?"

"hehe……"

"That's all the past! Just follow the rules in the future..."

"You are not a rule-abiding boy!"

"Although sir is older, you can't accuse us of our tiger baby at will, right? When have we not followed the rules?"

Dong Hu was a little angry.

"When Beigong Boyu rebelled, we had just defeated Lang Meng. Didao was in danger. Fatty Li transferred us. Do we have to send two brigades to reinforce?"

"Yan Xingbing besieged Didao. We have just returned from the Baima Qiang and sent us to rescue the Didao crisis. Have we sent troops to rescue it?"

"you……"

"Yes! These are old things, so it's better not to mention them. In the first year of Zhongping, the imperial court transferred us to rescue Yingchuan County. Have we gone? In the middle of winter, we forced us to go to Bingzhou. Have we gone? Can you, the old man, give me a thing that we don't abide by the rules?"
