The Head of the Ming Dynasty Spared His Life

(Liu Weishan vomits blood: Whose brat is this? Are you still dragging it away?)

Chapter 218 Speech if there is a disagreement [1]

Speaking of Nanjing, we have to mention the power confrontation between Nanjing and Beijing.

At that time, after Ming Chengzu moved his capital to Beijing, for various reasons, he still retained the status of Nanjing as the capital, and retained a set of central institutions, and the officials serving in these institutions were all old-age or excluded ministers, and most of them were just It is nominal and has no actual authority, and its power is far inferior to that of Beijing's yamen agencies.

However, even so, the yamen in Nanjing still had certain powers, especially the Nanjing Six Departments, whose powers should not be underestimated.

The Nanjing Household Department is responsible for the collection of taxes and grains in Nanzhili and Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Huguang provinces—these four places accounted for almost half of all taxes and grains in the Ming Dynasty. The collection and management of the National Tax Yellow Book.

Yan Song has always believed that the reason why the treasury's money and food turnover is so difficult today is largely due to the existence of the Nanjing Household Department. The Nanjing Household Department is responsible for the taxation of the wealthiest places and industries in the Ming Dynasty. The silver grain is always unsatisfactory.

In fact, Jiajing and Yan Song have always been very dissatisfied with these officials in Nanjing, which is why they deliberately neglected these Nanjing officials.

"I want to admonish you with death!!"

"I'm going to throw myself into the river!!"

Liu Weishan and Lu Dayong kept yelling, but Jiajing remained indifferent.

This is so embarrassing!

They originally threatened each other with death, but they just wanted to suppress Jiajing in terms of momentum. As long as Emperor Jiajing said a word, they would immediately fall down the slope, and then won the fame before and after their lives.

But they don't want to really die and become martyrs.Han Chuang studied hard for 20 years, and once worked hard to become a second-rank official. The family has a vast area of ​​fertile land, a beautiful wife and concubines, and a house full of children and grandchildren. Whoever is willing to die is a fool.

But now Emperor Jiajing doesn't persuade them at all.

They stood on the side of the boat, blinked their eyes, neither threw themselves into the water nor came back, it was extremely embarrassing.

Yan Song almost died of laughter in his heart, wanting to cry, make trouble and hang himself to deal with Jiajing?You are too young.

Jiajing, but he has seen the big world since he was a teenager.

During the ceremony, Chief Assistant Yang Tinghe brought the cabinet, six ministries, speech officials, and almost all officials of the Ming Dynasty to kneel in front of the Qianqing Palace and asked for a collective resignation to make Jiajing change his mind. Hundreds of people were killed.

Right now, how dare you threaten Jiajing with three or two kittens?

Jiajing opened one eyelid, looked at Liu Weishan and Lu Dayong who looked embarrassed, and said with a mocking sneer: "Jump! You want to leave your name in history, and I will give you that. You should dance! Just for fame!"

Liu Weishan and Lu Dayong were furious.

Sister emperor, you bully us and dare not dance, right?

Tolerable or unbearable!

我们!

I really dare not jump.

In order to hide their embarrassment, they hugged and cried again.

The people on the shore quit.

We ran so far to watch Si Shangshu jump into the river, why did you cry for a long time, put on a show, and finally didn't jump?

"Jump!"

"You guys are dancing!"

"Is it really just fishing for fame?"

"Cut! Do you think it's a monkey trick?"

This time it was even more embarrassing, Liu Weishan and Lu Dayong's faces were all purple, and many of the common people also watched the show and laughed.

The scene was once 'extremely chaotic'.

Jiajing was furious, and suddenly shot at the dragon case, his eyes were cold and vicious, and he said: "Why don't you even dare to die? You are so soft-boned, how dare you imitate that surnamed Yang Bigong? Learn Xia Yan, Zeng Mi, they don't even dare to die. Don't be afraid! I'm tired of watching your little tricks!"

In the fury of his thunder, Liu Weishan and Lu Da used these soft bones, so frightened that they all fell to their knees.

These four guys were still not reconciled, with snot and tears, pointing to Yan Song and said: "The ministers dare not force the palace, we just represent the southeast officials, and jointly write a letter to impeach the traitor Yan Song!"

They are good at changing the rudder according to the wind, and seeing the emperor's anger, they had no choice but to shift the spearhead to Yan Song and concentrate their firepower to deal with Yan Song.

Jiajing snorted coldly: "How did Yan Aiqing provoke you?"

"Your Majesty, Yan Song raised the salt tax! Five taxes and one tax will make life difficult for the people of Yangzhou."

"Your Majesty, Yan Song violated the ancestral system and competed with the people for profit!"

"Your Majesty, under the banner of His Majesty, Yan Song ransacked his house and broke down the house"

Liu Weishan and Lu Dayong scrambled to accuse Yan Song severely.But helplessly, every accusation they made hit Jiajing in the face, making Jiajing's face darker and darker.

Raise the salt tax?That was Jiajing's idea.

Five taxes and one?He also wants to pay two taxes and one tax.

Home raid?All the money is in Jiajing's pocket.Compete with the people?Jiajing wanted to copy more houses.

The more Jiajing heard it, the more annoyed he became. In his opinion, these old men are all vegetarians, who don't do things themselves, and don't let others do things!Even he wanted to benefit himself, but he didn't want to benefit the poor Jiajing.

757

Jiajing originally wanted to beat these bastards out with a stick, but Yan Song took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, I have something to say."
