I'm really not the carpenter emperor

In fact, Zhu Youxiao just wanted to warn Zhu Guobi, and didn't expect Tian Ergeng to get the whole list just once.

If it's that simple, what's the point of this game of cat and mouse?

Next time, you have to have fun with them.

Tian Ergeng handed over the account books and books in his hand to Wang Chaofu, gritted his teeth and walked forward a few steps with his aching body, kowtowed and said:

"Huning Hou is very afraid of those people, saying that even if His Majesty moves his nine clans, he can't speak to these people."

"Did he really say that?"

Zhu Youxiao asked lightly, then glanced at Tian Ergeng.

The latter had a look of panic on his face, then he kowtowed to the ground and said loudly:

"Everything I said just now is true!"

Chapter 281 There Are No Mediocre People Around The Emperor

"Every sentence is true..."

Zhu Youxiao repeated, his face moved, he raised his hand to pick up the book Wang Chaofu handed over, glanced at it, and said lightly:

""A New Ode to the Jade Terrace"..."

"What kind of book is this? I haven't read it."

"Your Majesty, this is an anthology of poems written by Xu Ling in the Liang Dynasty. The selected poems and lyrics are all about the love between men and women."

Wang Chaofu hurriedly added to avoid the embarrassment of the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao turned to look at him and chuckled:

"You are so clever, how do you know so much?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, before entering the Supervisor of Ceremonies, this servant was blessed by Emperor Daxing Wanli, and studied in the inner study for a few days, dabbling in the best poems and poems of all dynasties."

After Wang Chaofu finished speaking, Zhu Youxiao laughed:

"It's true. Not everyone can be like Wei Zhongxian. He advanced to the supervisor of ceremonies and then got my order to go to the inner study to make up lessons."

For these words, Wang Chaofu's face was a bit complicated, and he could only smile apologetically, he really couldn't continue.

"Tian Ergeng, what do you mean by bringing this book back to me?"

Zhu Youxiao casually flipped through the pages, and when he asked this question, he seemed to be focusing on the content of the book, which made Tian Ergeng a little relaxed.

He said:

"Returning to Your Majesty, this book is against women's virtues. Ordinary women have read it too much. I'm afraid they don't understand the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, Women's Training, and Women's Precepts."

"Zhang Yu, the second wife of Marquis Fu Ning, hardly puts down the scroll. When the minister arrives at the mansion, he just flips through the pages."

It may be that Tian Ergeng felt that talking about the Liang Dynasty more than 1000 years ago was too naive and exaggerated in front of a group of civil and military ministers who were driving around, so Tian Ergeng couldn't say it.

"That's true."

Zhu Youxiao flipped through the book, browsing the general content.

Most of this collection of poems are pornographic jokes, as well as complaints from ancient women over 1000 years ago about the injustice and misfortunes of their marriages.

How could Zhang Yu, a Mrs. Hou, like to read this kind of book?

Seeing that Emperor Tianqi slightly agreed with this statement, Tian Ergeng breathed a sigh of relief, his back was already wet with sweat, after all, speaking in front of the emperor was not an easy task.

"Report to Your Majesty."

Among the accompanying ministers, some people had long been dissatisfied with Tian Ergeng's evaluation of the classic poetry collection. As soon as Zhu Youxiao's words fell, Zuo Yude and Miao Changqi came out and said righteously:

"I think Tian Dudu's words are inappropriate!"

Hearing this, Tian Ergeng, who was leaning on the ground, turned his head subconsciously, and gave him a hard look to see who was singing against him.

Although Zuo Yu De Miao Changqi has made no achievements in ordinary times, he has his own unique insights and principles in literature.

""New Odes on the Yutai" is an anthology of love poems, not as good as those anthologies of temple poems that sing meritorious deeds."

"However, the selected chapters of this book are based on clear language, and those who abandon the esoteric classics, the nursery rhymes recorded in Han Dynasty, and the nursery rhymes of Emperor Hui of Jin Dynasty, etc., all belong to this category."

"Such as the ancient poems "Going up the Mountain to Gather Wuwu", "The Song of the Yue People", "Ran Ran Lonely Bamboo", and..."

Seeing that he wanted to continue, Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and interrupted:

"Okay, I get it."

"Zuo Yude, you are a Jinshi in the 41st year of Wanli. You are a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy. I remember correctly, right?"

Miao Changqi nodded respectfully and said nothing.

"Today is the second year of Tianqi, and you have been an official for almost ten years. Why are you just a Zuo Yude?" Zhu Youxiao chuckled:

"I don't see any suggestions from you on daily policies and war strategies. When you come to this kind of anthology or poetry anthology, you jump out and make a long speech in front of me."

"It's a shame."

Hearing Emperor Tianqi's sarcasm, Miao Changqi felt ashamed and backed away sullenly, Tian Ergeng also sneered from the bottom of his heart.

In fact, in the current Tianqi court, after Wei Zhongxian's cleansing, Yang Lian and Ye Xianggao, the radical Dong Linji who dared to jump out and sing the opposite tune, have all died.

There are only two kinds of people left.

One is those civil servants who are called eunuchs by the scholar-bureaucrats all over the world. Among them, there are many people with real talents and real learning. The biggest characteristic is that they listen to what they say when they are emperors.

The relationship between Xiong Tingbi and Wei Zhongxian was not very good, because Wei Zhongxian said a few words for him, and he was also said to be an eunuch.

Fortunately, as the emperor himself, he has a clear understanding of the details and believes in it.

There are also some capable local military generals who want to get ahead, they must rely on the eunuch's "supernatural powers" to directly reach the heavens, enter their own eyes, and display their talents.

This group of people is basically classified as the so-called eunuchs.

Second, like Miao Changqi, who was full of ink and was called a child prodigy since he was a child, the so-called famous scholars all over the world belonged to the moderate Donglin who surrounded Han Yu, the chief assistant of the cabinet.

In fact, in the past two years, apart from party struggles and attacks, this group of "scholar sages" has not seen any achievements in military and political affairs.

Instead, being a small local official, such as magistrate, censor, etc., and asking them to manage people's livelihood, impeachment and rectification, can basically be in order, which is much more useful than eunuchs.

Seeing that Miao Changqi retreated in the face of difficulties, Zhu Youxiao didn't intend to put anyone to death if he didn't deal with it. He just took the book as a joke and threw the book aside, saying:

"It's true that this book violates women's morality a little bit, but I think what Zuo Yude said just now has some truth. The second wife of the Funing Hou Mansion should let it go."

"As for this book, it is forbidden to be introduced to the court, and the rest, let it go."

The implication is that Zhu Youxiao did not intend to restrict the circulation of such books among the people, printed editions or even discussions among neighbors, but only explicitly prohibited the introduction of such books to the court.

Tian Ergeng looked surprised and opened his mouth wide:

"His Majesty--"

Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes slightly and asked:

"Is what I said not clear enough?"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Tian Ergeng was a little disappointed, but he was still excited and kowtowed quickly.

After hearing this, Miao Changqi, who was regretting standing in the crowd, was also a little puzzled and relieved. It seems that the emperor was still very clear about right and wrong in some matters.

That's good, that's good...

Next, Zhu Youxiao picked up the account book delivered by Tian Ergeng.

Naturally, it was impossible for Tian Ergeng to bring the messy ledgers of the Funinghou Mansion directly to Emperor Tianqi for him to review.

As for being promoted to be a commander or something, don't even think about it.

If you don't know how to do this, what good business can the emperor expect from you?

The emperor has always been surrounded by capable people. Although Cui Yingyuan and Sun Yunhe are juniors in the Zhenfu Division, they are all clever and capable of doing things.

There may be only one chance, and Tian Ergeng cannot be ignored.

Therefore, the account book that Zhu Youxiao got in his hand was carefully sorted out by the Fusi of Nanzhili General Town. At a glance, the account books of various industries in Funinghou Mansion are clear at a glance.

"Yes, Not Bad."

Zhu Youxiao flipped through it for a while, and it was Yuyu Lunyin who gave Tian Ergeng a booster shot, making the latter breathe out gently, and a stone in his heart fell to the ground.

"There are nine gardens, three in Nanjing City, and one each in Suzhou, Yangzhou, Penglai, Changzhou, Songjiang, and Chongming Island. The scale is very large."

"The Funinghou Mansion was built according to the Prince's Mansion in the capital, and later there was the Wanbo Garden, named after his second wife Zhang Yu's small character 'Wanbo'. The regulations are comparable to the Nanjing Royal Garden."

After reading this, Zhu Youxiao's voice gradually became colder, and said:

"What you wrote on it is all true. If you dare to make a false statement, I will not forgive you lightly."

"Return to Your Majesty, everything is true!"

Tian Ergeng said loudly: "Except for the nine gardens, the industries of the Houfu of Funing spread all over the southern Zhili, including grain, rice and cloth."

"I suspect that Fu Ninghou is embezzling and accepting bribes and misappropriating disaster relief funds. I have ordered the supervision department to seal up three gardens including Wanbo Garden in Nanjing."

"Your Majesty, please rule! The minister will strictly follow the imperial decree!"

Chapter 282 In fact, he is already out

"This……"

Tian Ergeng's words are not serious.

As soon as he finished speaking, the civil and military ministers who accompanied him on the southern tour began to discuss this, and many people found it inconceivable.

Like Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, a high-ranking family of military honors, at least in charge of several guards and military power, among many martial arts, they are also among the top few.

This kind of person has money that they can't spend in several lifetimes, and they even buy properties privately, get involved in the grain and cloth business, and even collude with local wealthy merchants to earn extra money.

Sure enough, it is because the hearts of the people are not enough, no matter how rich people are, they will still be greedy for money, even such a family of martial arts that is out of reach of ordinary people, they will still covet power.

Nobody cares about having more money, more power.

At present, there are still many people like Zhu Guobi in various parts of Ming Dynasty. Local civil and military personnel, even the emperor's relatives and relatives, are deeply involved in it, eroding the foundation of this country.

It is precisely because of these moths that the Ming Dynasty in history collapsed 20 years later!

Zhu Youxiao would never let this kind of thing happen to him. Thinking of this, he said:

"Prepare an order to seal up all the properties of the Funing Hou Mansion. After a clear inventory, report to me and make a decision."

"Since there are account books, it is iron proof that the nine gardens are all taken back to the imperial court, flattened as a whole, and rebuilt into housing areas to accommodate the common people."

"If it is vacant, it will be allocated to the Nanjing Nursing Home to take in refugees, stock up and store, anything, and everything will be more useful than the original garden."

"By the way, isn't Suzhou a mutiny? Take a look."

Zhu Youxiao suddenly mentioned the old times, then threw out Sun Chuanting's victory report, circulated it to everyone, and said:

"The day before yesterday, Sun Chuanting reported to me that the Mutiny in Suzhou had been quelled. Immediately send an edict back to Beijing to ask the Ministry of War to come up with a statute of meritorious service and give it to me for my review."

"The money obtained from the sale of these nine garden assets, in addition to the disaster relief in the Huaibei and Shandong provinces, part of it was allocated to the Qin army for Sun Chuanting to use."

Everything else is easy to talk about, but many people have some objections to Sun Chuanting's appropriation of the money allocated to the Qin army.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this. Before that, Sun Chuanting was an unknown junior after all.

In the first year of the Apocalypse, the Yulin army was established, supported by Zhu Youxiao. As for the name of the Qin army, he also specially added favor. This time he led the Qin army to quell the Suzhou mutiny. Pay attention to.

Compared with Xiong Tingbi, the Liaodong governor whose talent is known to both the government and the public, the current Sun Chuanting is really too immature.

Soon, because of Emperor Tianqi's insistence, these objections were temporarily put to rest in the imperial tent.

But Zhu Youxiao knew that this was just an appearance.

Among the nine gardens, not to mention how much cash there will be, just the treasures and antiques, the rockery, the pool, the land, the value of these is enough to make people crazy.

After all, in order to build these nine gardens, Zhu Guobi chose treasure lands with beautiful scenery and high value.

Sun Chuanting received this batch of military expenses. If he has the ability to do so, it will be enough to help the Qin army reborn and reshape the new life.

But correspondingly, he will become the target of public criticism!

Numerous forces will approach Sun Chuanting openly or secretly, either to lure him into the water and become one of their own, or to find ways to profit from it.

Zhu Youxiao always felt that, just like Huang Degong, Liu Yuanbin and other famous generals in history, each of them has its own value.
