These years of being the queen mother!
Chapter 73
These measures promulgated by Huang Taiji restricted the privileges of the Manchu nobles, consolidated the imperial power, and were more conducive to the development of agricultural production.It can be said that apart from the fact that the red-clothed cannon can only be temporarily suspended due to the number of craftsmen and iron ore, Huang Taiji is very pleased with the prosperous scenery of Shengjing...
It's just that he didn't know that Empress Dowager Yang, who was paying close attention to intelligence work, had already guessed Huang Taiji or Fan Wenchen's next move when she received a report from the factory guard that there were a large number of Houjin Xizuo's activities in Beijing.
"It's a countermeasure, tsk, I actually set my mind on Brother Ming." Empress Dowager Yang put the paper filled with densely packed and small seal characters into the huge incense burner placed in the center of the main hall, and the sandalwood incense wafted faintly. You can smell the fragrance.
After the note was reduced to ashes in the incense burner, Empress Dowager Yang pursed her lips and smiled. "Fortunately, the grandfather saved a hand at the beginning. He only explained that the elder brother is the younger brother of the granddaughter. He was perfunctory to the late emperor, but he did not expect that after such a long time, the Houjin Nabo people were included."
"That's not the intention of Zhenghe." The old fox Wei Zhongxian stroked the fake beard glued on his chin, and said with a little complacency: "Speaking of which, that thief Fan pretended to be full of knowledge, but in the end there were still so many methods. First, Xiong Tingbi, And then it was Brother Ming again... Don't you get tired of getting tired of the counter-scheming time and time again!"
"The strategy is not good, but whether it is useful. Obviously, grandfather, you are hiding behind the scenes, and you have paralyzed Taiji, the Tartar chieftain, by leaving the affairs of the state to your granddaughter. Suspicious, so I plan to repeat the old trick!"
Empress Dowager Yang admits that her desire for power is much more than that of ordinary people, but she does not have the suspicious character unique to emperors, and she is from a later generation, and she is from the history department. She will not know which song Huang Taiji sings.So even if Huang Taiji's target is not Mingda, but still Yuan Chonghuan, Empress Dowager Yang will not be caught in the so-called countermeasures, and she will take action to relieve Huang Taiji's serious troubles.
After all, the reason for the demise of the Ming Dynasty was not only caused by the troubles during the Little Ice Age and the continuous natural and man-made disasters, but also related to the self-destruction of the Great Wall by Emperor Chongzhen.As the king of a country, it doesn’t mean that it’s bad to be suspicious, but it’s a big problem if you are too suspicious. Looking at the end of the Ming Dynasty in history, there are a few generals who can really end well...
Empress Dowager Yang's eyes darkened, but she said: "Grandfather will handle this matter, so my granddaughter can rest assured. But that bandit Fan can think of a good idea to get rid of him. Having him beside Huang Taiji to advise Huang Taiji is really a defense. Not very defensive! And the Tartars are going to forge red barbarian cannons."
Thinking of the behavior of those Tartars who changed the name of the red barbarian cannon to the red cannon in order to avoid the word "barbarian", Empress Dowager Yang was amused for a while. Is this a deception? She is really inferior and arrogant!
Empress Dowager Yang ridiculed their behavior, but at the same time, there was a trace of worry, which was worry about the Tartars preparing to cast red cannons.Once the Tartars cast red-clothed cannons on a large scale and put them into use, the power of the Liaodong defenders' firearms will be reduced by half, and the battles in the future will inevitably become more tragic... Now it seems that we must think of a way to let the Tartars We won't be able to cast red cannons in the next few years! !
After Empress Dowager Yang handed over the matter of "Hou Jin's plan to counter-scheme" to Wei Zhongxian, she chatted with him for a while, and asked Wei Zhongxian to retire on the pretext of being tired.
After Wei Zhongxian left, Empress Dowager Yang went to the small anteroom in the Nuan Pavilion to rest for a while, then changed into a set of relatively plain and generous skirts, and went to Jiaotai Hall.
At this time, Shi Shoufu was teaching Zhu Cilin in Jiaotai Hall.Empress Dowager Yang stood by the window and listened for a while, seeing Zhu Cilin's concentration in class and answering questions with heart, she couldn't help but smiled in relief.
Empress Dowager Yang, who was standing outside the house listening, did not enter the hall, she stayed outside for a while, then turned and left.The departing Empress Dowager Yang didn't know that after she left, the little Emperor Zhu Cilin pouted with some sadness and dissatisfaction, and complained to Shi Shoufu.
"Why didn't my mother come in to test the school's knowledge? Every time I come, I just stand outside and listen. Doesn't my mother feel tired?"
"The Empress Dowager does not want to put more pressure on His Majesty. After all, the Long Live Master only studies for the purpose of recognizing characters and understanding things, not for learning. Therefore, it does not make much sense for the Empress Dowager not to pass the exam for Your Majesty."
"Teacher Shi is right, and I think so too. It's just that my mother doesn't come in, which makes me feel a little wronged." Zhu Cilin rubbed his nose, and said innocently: "Speaking of which, there are so many state affairs recently, and my mother is very concerned about handling them. Spend less time with me and my two older sisters. Hey, I'm really worried, when my mother comes back to her senses, maybe the second sister's temper will become wilder, and the third sister's stuttering will become more serious."
This is really hard to accept...
Shi Shoufu's eyelids twitched, and his heart was filled with emotion.You can say that the second princess has a detached personality, but why is the third princess stuttering!Hey, these two princesses have grown up, but they are not very easy to choose husbands!
For some reason, Shi Shoufu, who was gloating a little, coughed a few times, then put on a serious face on purpose, and reprimanded him: "Your Majesty, the two princesses are His Majesty's elder sisters, how can you slander them in private!"
"I didn't just say this in private, I even said it publicly more than once!" In other words, Zhu Cilin, the little bastard, would be in a happy mood every time Zhu Shuxie and Zhu Shuxie's two sisters jumped up in anger!So Zhu Cilin didn't care at all about Shi Shoufu's stinky appearance as a teacher. Instead, he put his hands on his cheeks and joked: "Teacher Shi, you are not suitable for this kind of appearance. Look at your wrinkled face, it looks like burnt burns." It’s like fried biscuits, not to mention how ugly it is!”
Shi Shoufu: "..."
Lord Xiandi, this brat is really hopeless, he loves money to death, and he doesn't know how to respect his teacher at all.
Burnt sesame seed cakes, his face is so ugly!
When Shi Shoufu raised his mouth and wanted to smile, Zhu Cilin's eyes suddenly widened, and he said in an unbelievable way. "Teacher, you'd better stop laughing. When you smile, it looks like a sunken meat bun. It's full of wrinkled meat and meat stuffing. It's even uglier than when you had a straight face just now... No, I want to Go to the imperial garden to enjoy the flowers and wash your eyes!"
So under Shi Shoufu's dumbfounding gaze, Zhu Cilin, who had wanted to play truant for a long time, slipped away resolutely.Without students, this class is naturally impossible to attend, so Shi Shoufu could only sigh and waved at him and began to fidget, Qi Sichang, who wanted to run away, said: "Go, play with Your Majesty..."
As an accompanying reader, Qi Sichang should be where Zhu Cilin is, so when he heard what Shi Shoufu said, he rushed out of Jiaotai Hall like a cannonball, and went to the Imperial Garden to accompany our eyes' The little emperor Zhu Cilin, who was injured and needed to wash his eyes with flowers and plants, went.
This scene was reported to Empress Dowager Yang who was reviewing the memorial.When Empress Dowager Yang heard this, her son's words washed Shi Shoufu away again, and while it was funny, she couldn't help but have a better understanding of Shi Shoufu's good temper, or smart and tactful, and when the cabinet members entered the palace to discuss matters one by one, Empress Dowager Yang smiled and apologized to Shi Shoufu.
"The emperor has troubled Shi Shoufu."
"The empress dowager is serious. It is the duty of a minister to teach your majesty, so why bother to say it!" Shi Shoufu said with a smile, fully demonstrating what it means to be a prime minister who can punt a boat in his belly.
"The reason why the Ai family summoned you is because Liu Qing, the governor of Shuntian Prefecture, submitted a memorial." Queen Mother Yang asked Wang Tiqian to pass the memorial to the cabinet members for circulation. What objection do you have!"
"I think what Lord Liu said is very true. Since the time when the former minister Wang Shouren (inspector) was in charge of Southern Jiangxi, he practiced the law of ten schools to clear the source of "piracy". The law is very compact and the rule is very extensive. Where there is martial law, there are Fenghe policemen in all counties and counties all over the world. There is almost no time for conscription and salary. At this time, it is advisable to practice the law of Baojia. I would like to compile it as "Baojia Matters" in imitation of the posthumous meaning of the Confucianists, and title it as □□"Jiaomin Bangwen" ten articles, and it will be a compilation called "Baomin Training Essentials". Please ask the emperor to order, from the censors of the five cities to the prefectures and counties, all affairs must be strictly followed."
Lai Zongdao, the second minister of the cabinet, chewed on words for a while, and after reciting a long paragraph of the content of Liu Zongzhou's memorial to Shuntian Prefecture, he finally got to the point. "My minister seconded the Baojia law proposed by Mr. Liu."
The Baojia Law was one of Wang Anshi's reforms, which stipulated that every ten households in rural areas should have one guarantee, five guarantees would be one big guarantee, and ten ten guarantees would be one capital guarantee.The wealthiest person in the household is the head of the Bao, the head of the big, and the head of the capital.Used to prevent peasant rebellion and save military expenses.
This law aims to "enrich the country and strengthen the army". It took nearly 15 years from the implementation of the new law to the repeal of the new law by the conservatives.During this period, each new law has more or less achieved results, but because it violated the interests of middle and upper officials, the royal family, tyrants and usurers, and caused some very bad negative effects on the lives of the people, it was finally rejected. Give up!
Empress Dowager Yang didn't know what Liu Zongzhou, governor of Shuntian Prefecture, intended to propose the Baojia Law at this time, but it was obvious that Empress Dowager Yang was unwilling to adopt it.Therefore, after Lai Zongdao seconded the proposal, Empress Dowager Yang looked at Xu Guangqi, another cabinet assistant, and asked kindly: "Does Xu Qing have any objections to this matter?"
"The original meaning of the Baojia Law is to "remove theft" and "to participate in the recruitment of soldiers" and "to save the cost of raising soldiers". The minister believes that now that the commercial tax is increasing in the coming year, and the treasury is becoming more and more full, there is no need to worry about the cost of raising soldiers. Financial revenue, but the people did not pay attention to its disturbance, and caused civil disturbances several times, so I think that the Baojia Law cannot be revived!"
"What does Shi Qing mean?" Empress Dowager Yang asked Shi Shoufu with a smile.
He is tactful and has worked under Queen Mother Yang for so long, how could Shi Fenglai fail to understand the hidden meaning of Queen Mother Yang, it was nothing more than asking him to propose objection.So Shi Shoufu, who was very good at winking and acting, followed Queen Mother Yang's wishes, and immediately after Xu Guangqi, he vetoed the Baojia method!As soon as Shi Fenglai opened his mouth, the other cabinet assistants also understood the market situation and spoke out against it one after another.Therefore, the Baojia Law, which was supposed to be revived in three years by Chongzhen in history, was not passed, nor was it implemented nationwide.
After the Xingbaojia Law was rejected, Empress Dowager Yang took out the memorial presented by Bi Ziyan alone from the high pile of memorials on the desk, and let the cabinet members circulate them one by one!Among them, Shi Shoufu's heart couldn't help but jump when he saw the content of the memorial.This Bi Ziyan is an idiot, he just became the Minister of the Ministry of Households and came out like this!Masuda Fu, huh, huh, according to the character of the empress dowager who can't wait to increase the business tax and reduce the agricultural tax, it's no wonder that she would agree!
The author has something to say: I'm sorry, the power went out today, and I only finished writing intermittently now o(╥﹏╥)o there is only one update, please forgive me!
It's just that he didn't know that Empress Dowager Yang, who was paying close attention to intelligence work, had already guessed Huang Taiji or Fan Wenchen's next move when she received a report from the factory guard that there were a large number of Houjin Xizuo's activities in Beijing.
