Chapter 197: Limited royal family salary

With Wei Zhongxian being imprisoned, the eunuch party was considered to be in name only. Many of the gangs were too busy to take care of themselves, and the neutral officials in the court were all self-protection. Therefore, the biggest clique in the court is the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party has a profound foundation, and there are many talents from all over the government and the country. What's more, Sun Chengzong is now the assistant and the Ministry of War. His status in the court is no lower than that of Gu Bingqian and Xinwang. There are also Yang Lian, the left censor and the imperial teacher, shaking the flag and shouting. Therefore, the call for "exorcism and righteousness" in the court is high, and even Xinwang has mentioned the liquidation of the "eunuch party".

He was almost united and resigned last year and had a good reputation as a member of Ye Xianggao, who was almost united as a member of the Communist Party of China, was naturally strongly requested to resume.

However, Zhu Xu had other plans in his heart, and seemed to have not seen these voices, and he would have been delayed for more than a month.

Ye Xianggao chose to go to Beijing at this time, but he was afraid that he would also like to put pressure on him, the new emperor.

Zhu Xu nodded and waved his hand, "No surprise, go."

Queen Zhang pretended not to hear it, lowered her head and teased Xiao Yongning.

Cao Huachun did not retreat, looked at Queen Zhang, and whispered in Zhu Xu's ear: "He has gone to Prince Xin's Mansion."

As soon as he said this, not only Zhu Xu, but even Queen Zhang's actions were paused.

King Xin bought a yard and Zhu Xu gave him a plaque. He heard that there were already traffic in front of the door and there were crowds of people.

Zhu Xu looked at Queen Zhang with her head down and smiled, "Well, then go and decree to King Xin, see how to place Lord Ye, and ask him to write a memorial."

Cao Huachun was stunned, then smiled and bowed, "Abide by the order."

Ye Xianggao was a college student in Wuying Hall before and joined the Grand Tutor to retire. Now he is back. Where is the position to arrange? The chief assistant Gu Bingqian is still there. Although he has suffered crazy attacks from the Donglin Party, he is still there.

The other cabinet ministers are definitely not suitable, the only suitable position is the chief minister!

What should I do?

Since Ye Xianggao visited King Xin, he naturally wanted to King Xin to send a letter to Zhu Xu, and Zhu Xu first passed the message, so the problem naturally pushed back.

Queen Zhang looked at Zhu Xu and hesitated and said, "King Xin, do you often ask you questions?"

Zhu Xu was stunned, blinked, and said, "Why did the emperor's sister-in-law say that?"

Since Empress Zhang opened her mouth, she said straight: "I heard that he is very diligent and has written many memorials. She seems to be a little incompatible with Mr. Gu, but she is closer to Lord Yang."

"No." Zhu Xu looked quite generous and said in a grand tone: "I am happy to be diligent with my brother. With him in the cabinet, I will save half of my heart. Foreign ministers, how can I feel at ease with my family? The emperor's sister-in-law doesn't need to be too careful."

Seeing that Zhu Xu did not have any rifts, Queen Zhang secretly breathed a little relieved, and her tone became much more natural, and said, "Well, that's good. I will summon King Xin to the palace to talk to him another day, click him."

Zhu Xu smiled and didn't stop him.

Although Zhu Youjian's personality cannot be the kind of emperor who turns the tide and is a talented emperor, he is definitely more than enough to be a wise king. What's more, there is this strong backing behind it!

Zhu Xu had a happy meal at Queen Zhang. After having fun of the little princess for a while, he turned to Wen Zhao Pavilion again.

He usually spends the night in the Qianqing Palace and spends most of the day in Wenzhao Pavilion. He does not like the imperial study and always thinks it is an ominous place.

When he returned to Wenzhao Pavilion, Zhu Xu picked up the note and read it again.

Sure enough, most of them mentioned adding cabinet members and important positions in the six ministries, and many more directly mentioned that Gu Bingqian gave way. Because Gu Bingqian wanted to avoid suspicion, there was no vote for the draft, most of them were Wei Guanghui's, with only two words "precise".

Later, there is also the vote of King Xin, with two identical words "precise and accurate".

"Hey, this Mr. Gu is indeed not a vegetarian."

Zhu Xu shook his head and asked a magistrate to leave, either he had a major mistake or he voluntarily resigned, otherwise it would be difficult for the emperor to be dismissed directly. Gu Bingqian asked Wei Guanghui to do this, but I was afraid that he would have the intention of testing his mind.

"It's hard for the emperor to do it." Zhu Xu sighed, and then said to Cao Huachun not far away: "The memorandums sent in the future are classified. Anyone who mentions adding the cabinet or requests the court to discuss the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of War will be kept at the central government and will not be issued. If you urge them again, you will be sent back to the cabinet and re-signed."

Cao Huachun listened and bowed and said, "It's the Emperor."

Zhu Xu looked at another pile of people, which was related to the salt administration, so he pushed it aside.

"babble……"

Zhu Xu had a strange look on his face. The note in his hand was actually from King Ping.

Zhu Xu glanced at him, looked up at Cao Huachun, and said, "King Ping, what are you busy with recently?"

Cao Huachun stood up and said, "Back to the emperor, King Ping is busy with your business."

Zhu Xu smiled and said, "Have you paid this year's royal family salary?"

Cao Huachun thought for a while and said, "It should have been sent out part of it."

Zhu Xu tapped the table with his finger and said, "Start immediately, King Ping will be the Li Zong Ren Mansion, and he will deal with all matters of the royal family. In addition, he notified his uncle that the royal family's salary would be stopped, and the treasury would be tight and he would not be distributed."

Cao Huachun's face changed and he said, "Your Majesty, have you not sent it at all? There are still many clan relatives who have not received it."

Zhu Xu said, "If King Ping finds his uncle, you ask his uncle to recommend it to King Xin and ask King Xin to find a way."

Cao Huachun showed concern and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, if you do this, you may be unstable to the royal family."

This is indeed a cautious statement. Zhu Xu didn't care and lowered his head and continued to turn the note, saying, "It's okay, the emperor's treasury has three million taels left. At that time, part of it will be allocated to the Ministry of Revenue and part of the Ministry of War, and all the rest will be given to them. In this way, what else can they have to complain?"

Cao Huachun listened to Zhu Xu's words and seemed reasonable, but hesitated for a moment, saying, "I will send someone to spread the imperial edict to Ping the Prince's Mansion."

Sure enough, as soon as the news came out, with the matter of the Salt Administration, the government and the country, and even inside and outside the capital, were rumbling. A series of notes poured into the Tongzheng Envoy Department, and then appeared in Wenzhao Pavilion.

Since Zhu Xu went to court on the first day, he stopped for several days of court discussions. In the end, Yang Lian and King Ping were fussing to come to the palace to meet the saint, but Zhu Xu disappeared and asked them to meet King Xin.

Xinwang Mansion.

King Ping said helplessly with a bitter face, "Jian'er, just help the emperor's uncle. Now King Fu and King Lu are almost driving me crazy. If you don't give me money, my King Ping will be demolished."

Zhu Youjian became more and more majestic and serious in the cabinet over time. He also felt a headache when he looked at King Ping and said, "Uncle Emperor, you are not unaware of the situation of the treasury. The emperor had already taken out five million taels of treasury before, and there was really no money."

Ping Wang's face was suspicious, his eyes turned, and he said, "Then, you are in charge of government affairs now. You are in charge of such a big country. Could it be that you don't even care about your own family members, so will we starve to death?"

Zhu Youjian also frowned. It was hard for a good cook to cook without rice. Although with Zhu Xu's support, King Xin's prestige is getting higher and higher, but the national conditions of the Ming Dynasty were as good as that, he could not get hundreds of thousands of taels for the royal family in a short time.

But the salary of the royal family could not be delayed. He thought carefully for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go to the Ministry of Revenue later."

When King Ping heard this, he was overjoyed and looked at Zhu Youjian and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll wait for your good news. The emperor is not here to see me now, so he can only come to find you."
