Chapter 1021: The Wrath of the Son of Heaven
In all aspects of military, politics and economy, even Wang Tong cannot speak nonsense. However, since he resigned from his official position, the memorials can be discussed a lot more broadly.
But there is still a certain degree. For example, Wang Tong is a general who leads troops, so he talks a lot about military matters. He has the example of Tianjin Wei turning stones into gold, so he talks a lot about economic taxation. The rest is just a sentence, but he doesn't go into it too much.
For example, Wang Tong did not speak out in the officialdom, but the group of civil servants only talked about the imperial examinations, and he would not talk about the court and local officials.
Regarding the Jinyiwei, Wang Tong also made it clear that the capabilities and efficiency of each department are getting higher and higher at present. If such an institution is in the hands of one person, if it is loyal, it is good, if it is not loyal or colluding with someone, it is troublesome. Therefore, each department of the Jinyiwei has set up a Jinyiwei commander and a deputy commander, and is directly responsible to someone in the palace, and separate them and govern them. Each has its own duties, which will be easier to control.
Wang Tong also mentioned one thing: the existence of Tianjin Wei has proved the efficiency and value of shipping. Compared with the small capacity, it requires a lot of money to maintain it every year. For the canal transport, which has great disadvantages, shipping is undoubtedly much superior..."
But I don’t know how much interests the officials involved in the canal transportation. Wang Tong only stated the memorials of the two, but did not explain what to do.
The eunuch from the imperial kitchen came over to ask how many times he would eat, but Zhao Jinliang sent him back. Then Empress Zheng sent someone to deliver exquisite snacks and porridge in a meal box.
Tian Yi read very slowly. There is too much information in Wang Tong's memorials. Tian Yi has been doing errands in the palace and outside the palace for so many years. He has a broad understanding. He thinks that [Zhen Yi Ding Guo Bar Quickly Share with you] is also a capable person. But what Wang Tong said in the memorials was something he never thought of, or vaguely thought of, but he didn't think so clearly.
When Tian Yi was reading the memorial, he also realized one thing. Although Wang Tong wanted to resign, the various policies mentioned in the memorial could not be achieved without Wang Tong's implementation.
However, when the Huwei Army was established and the Tianjin Wei was established, the court officials were enthusiastic about the opening of Songjiang ports. The merchants in the world had the courage to form their own guards and train in groups. They were extremely enthusiastic about reclaiming and immigration, and were obsessed with plundering the wealth of foreign races. In the past two hundred years, such changes have occurred in the past decade.
When the change begins, it is difficult to stop because there are too many people in front of them to gain benefits and form interest groups. If you want to stop or reverse it, you have to pay too much price. Many people will feel that it is not worth it, and more people will take the initiative to advance this matter.
At least Tian Yi knew that all officials in the capital were all using their power or the convenience of being well-informed. They made profits in the sea trade, the north and the east colonization, and the reclaiming of the colonies [Jinyi Dangguo Bar Quickly Share with you]. This is actually the same as the Jinshishiji duty exemption. It involves too many people and involves all aspects, so it is difficult to change.
Originally, the businessmen's family was not about letting their children continue to do business, but about letting their children take the path of imperial examinations. Now it is a little different. Merchants began to encourage their children to learn martial arts and join the army to gain fame. And with the protection of a military general, it is convenient to do business abroad. Moreover, they are doing business. Now there are so many opportunities to get rich, and the status of merchants is getting higher and higher. There is no harm in continuing this path.
These changes were not before the history of Wanli, and even before the fifth year of Wanli. This was all changed because of the various things Wang Tong did. These changes were actually not obvious now. However, Tian Yi had an intuition that these changes would become bigger and bigger, more obvious, and would change a lot of things.
Tian Yi read these memorials more and more slowly today because he wanted to remember as much as possible. And after going back tonight, he had to write down these things and guess later. Today's memorials are secret memorials, and it is not clear whether they can be made public. The more he remembers them, and carefully ponders them, he may be able to seize the initiative and take the initiative in future changes.
Silijian currently has an unwritten rule. If either Tian Yi and Zou Yi stay alone by the emperor, the other person will definitely come here, which is also a balanced consideration.
In the study of the Ganqing Palace, Zou Yi was also listening. The busiest one was Zhao Jinliang. The few people in the room had already drunk a few pots of tea, and he had to keep serving tea and replenishing water.
The sound of bells and drums on the imperial city came, Tian Yi picked up the tea and took a sip, and said with a smile:
"Long lively, it's not too late, there's one left, I'll hurry up..." "Mata Yoshihide took out the last memorial from the iron box. This memorial was different from the previous ones, but it was wrapped in a large envelope.
"Huang Yijun personally launched it? This is really strange."
Tian Yi muttered, Emperor Wanli raised his eyebrows and said:
"No need to demolish it, I'll see it myself!"
The name Huang Yijun was the pseudonym of Emperor Wanli when he was in the Huwei Wu Hall. Zhao Jinliang and Zou Yi knew about it, but Tian Yi didn’t know it. Light another lamp!”
Emperor Wanli ordered, and Zhao Jinliang hurriedly went over and ignited it. Emperor Wanli had already tore open his beliefs. There was a thin piece of paper inside the envelope, which was different from the thick stacks in front.
When Tian Yi, Zou Yi and Zhao Jinliang saw this situation, they all consciously took a step back. Although he could not see the contents of the letter from his current perspective, it would be better to avoid suspicion.
"Huang Yijun, please forgive me for your crime. I mentioned this title so that Your Majesty can personally dismantle it. I am a military general and is not good at writing, so I use this kind of vernacular words in the letter. Please see you..."
Seeing this, Emperor Wanli sneered, shook his head and continued to watch.
"Since the founding of the country, there has been no such great achievements as the ministers. I have the place where the wealth is in my hands. The Huwei Army is also the ministers, and the Jinyiwei is also the ministers. One-third of the military preparations in the capital are in my hands, and one-third of them are in good faith with me, which is indeed an hindrance to the master.
"You can say this, you're not going to be so traitor..."
Emperor Wanli muttered, but still had a smile on his face and continued to watch.
"What do people in the world think, what do all officials in the court think, Your Majesty, what do you think, I can probably guess that I have always said that I want to do things for the country and country of Ming Dynasty and be loyal to Your Majesty. I also have selfish intentions, wanting glory, wealth, high officials, and generous salaries, and beauties. I have already had them now, so I have no regrets in my heart, but I have made such great contributions. If I am still in this position, I cannot understand myself. Now I resign. Your Majesty knows my loyalty."
Emperor Wanli smiled at first, but his face immediately became dark.
"After resigning, I would like to ask Your Majesty to continue to use Li Hutou, Cai Nan, Lu Wancai, Li Wenyuan and others. These people were promoted by His Majesty, thankful and loyal... "
Emperor Wanli put the letter paper on the table, leaned back, looked at the sky with his eyes, and breathed a long sigh, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
Tian Yi, Zou Yi and Zhao Jinliang looked up and everyone bowed their heads together. At this moment, they heard a noise in the study door. Zhao Jinliang quickly stepped back. Tian Yi and Zou Yi both turned their heads. He was also surprised in his heart. Who would come at this time? Could it be that Empress Zheng sent someone again? With Empress Zheng's habit of doing things, she would not do such a move to interfere with Emperor Wanli's office.
Zhao Jinliang opened the door and talked for a few words, and then came back lightly, but instead of reporting, he whispered a few words beside Tian Yi.
Seeing Tian Yi passing by, Emperor Wanli, who was originally in a daze, was also attracted by his attention. When Tian Yi came back, he saw Emperor Wanli frowning and immediately understood, and quickly bowed and said:
"Long live the life, with the factory's return, Wang Tong's family has already gone to Tianjin Wei, saying that they are going to visit Eunuch Zhang, this..." This..."
Tian Yi was hesitant and the Emperor Wanli suddenly became angry, and he raised his voice and shouted:
"That's right, what else can you say in front of me?"
"Long live the sacrificial punishment. After the factory guessed, Wang Tong's family probably had already boarded the ship in Tianjin...."
"Damn it!Damn it!
Emperor Wanli roared suddenly, Tian Yi trembled, he quickly knelt down and said repeatedly:
"Long lively, I will sign the ticket and send someone to arrange for people from the East Factory to go to the plane."
"Catch you..."
Emperor Wanli grabbed something and hit Tian Yi below. Fortunately, there were several volumes of papers, which could not hurt anyone. It was rare to say dirty words in the emperor's mouth. However, these people were close to others, and had heard of them and knew that this represented Emperor Wanli.
Zou Yi and Zhao Jinliang both knelt down, and Tian Yi even knelt on the ground with one head, not daring to lift it up. Emperor Wanli pushed the table, stood up, waved his arms and said:
"A bastard, a bastard, I want to leave this, no way. There is such a cheap thing in the world. If you are a minister for a day, he will be my minister for the rest of his life. [The Jinyi is the country and quickly share it with you] I want to go to Jiangnan to spend the joy of living and drinking, and I think beautifully. I am busy all day long in the palace. Why should he be happy? No, no!!"
Emperor Wanli suddenly roared in the study, and the guards around the study were all alarmed. Zou Yi quickly patted Zhao Jinliang and asked him to go outside and support him quickly, and not to alarm too much.
Zhao Jinliang quickly got up, opened the door and told everyone that the guards were very serious, but when they saw that there was a smile on Eunuch Zhao's face, they were puzzled.
