Chapter 520 Everything is as I expected

Leng Yan looked at Jiao Fang beside him, and the expression on He Jin's face was very resentful.

Although this guy is very famous, when it comes to political talents... He Jin feels that it is an insult to compare Jiao Fang with him in the court.

But if you think about the level of governing the country by the scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty, that's it.

"Your Majesty, as an official of the Ming Dynasty, He Jin was also a member of the Mongolejin tribe. It is even rumored that he had an engagement with the daughter of Huosie. I have to doubt whether the absurd suggestions he made this time were for the foreign races outside the border or were serving the Ming Dynasty!"

Jiao Fang was not convinced, and looked at He Jin with disdain, and continued, "Your Majesty, if you take the opinions of me, you will be fine if you wait and see what you do outside the border."

"If the little Tatar prince wiped out the Menglujin tribe, then my Ming Dynasty would be less of a vassal; if the little Tatar prince and Fire Screen were both injured, it would be a blessing for my Ming Dynasty border."

"On the contrary, if our court dispatches 100,000 soldiers, consumes countless food and fights bloody battles for an affiliated department, what can we get? If He Jin does not understand state affairs, he can still be considered foolish; if he knows this truth, but comes to deceive His Majesty, he will be clearly a traitor who sells the country and causes chaos!"

As soon as this sharp criticism came out, the ministers below couldn't help but exclaim, as if their life had reached its climax. One after another, there were "officials" and voices scolding He Jin.

After all, these words are very scheming and powerful: first smear He Jin's identity, then analyze the pros and cons of sending troops to aid the Mongolejin tribe, and then echo the conclusion that He Jin is either a fool or a traitor...

It's simply...perfect!

Even He Jin, who was standing by, had to admit that A Fang might be really good at it.

Unfortunately, Jiao Fang is not La Fang after all. She is still not as good as her own beauty, and she is so unique.

This remark may have shaken the unawakened Emperor Hongzhi's mind. However, with more than a year of subtle influence, Emperor Hongzhi has gradually begun to doubt the Confucian theoretical viewpoint of governing the country, so naturally he will not easily take preconceptions.

The most important thing is that a few days before he went to court, He Jin had actually secretly met Emperor Hongzhi and gave Emperor Hongzhi his first trade tax account book in more than two months.

So, after hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi still looked calm and asked He Jin: "He Qing, I wonder what you have to say at this time?"

"The Qing Dynasty is from the Qing Dynasty, and I have nothing to say." He Jin was too lazy to explain at this moment, but just smiled and said, "But I think that Shangshu Yang must have something to say."

At this time, Yang Yiqing was brought up by the officials of the Honglu Temple with a stern face and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have also heard that He Yuanwailang served as the post of Daluhuachi in the Mengguolejin tribe."

"But as far as I know, he did not do anything for fire screening in this position. Instead, he used the Menglujin tribe to promote the Ming Dynasty goods to more tribes on the grasslands, so as to seek generous benefits for our Ming Dynasty."

As he said that, he took out a book and said, "This is the income from commercial taxes drawn since the Ming Dynasty traded. The 2.16 million silver imports and exits are recorded on the record. I beg your Majesty to read them."

Qiu Ju quickly took the account book and handed it to Emperor Hongzhi.

Emperor Hongzhi had already seen it, so of course he just flipped it around and asked with a point of view: "Shangshu Yang, what is your intention in this move?"

Yang Yiqing still looked like everyone owed him two hundred taels of silver, and replied in a tough voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister has no intention, he is just talking about the matter."

After these words, it was like slapping hard on the face of the officials who just discussed. Especially for Jiao Fang, it was even more invisible than a tangible counterattack.

Being a Daruwachi means that someone is treasonous?

Is it okay to speak with evidence?

After reading the books of sages for many years, you can imagine it out of thin air and make you swear by blood?

That's right, compared to Jiao Fang's untenable slander, He Jin's trick is so beautiful: I don't say anything, the minister of the Ministry of Commerce will use evidence to defend himself. Everyone knows which one is higher or lower, which one is better or worse, right?

Is your level really not on the same level as me?

This time, Jiao Fang, who was forced into a dead corner and was angry, had to take up the never-changing arguments of the scholar-officials and said, "Your Majesty, trade and trade are already a move to shake the foundation of the country!"

"For the sake of a mere 2 million taels of commercial tax, the morality of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt, and everyone was cunning and profitable. The world was getting worse. This move was like drinking poison to quench thirst and slapping the roots and chasing the end!"

When He Jin heard such remarks, he felt a headache: It’s not good to have money?... How many things can you do with money? Don’t you think you have a good idea?

But there is no way. In the Ming Dynasty when Confucian sages unified the world, withdrawing money was a political mistake, and circulation and commerce were the source of all evil.

As for those who can't do anything without money, we don't care at all. Anyway, we scholars and officials have occupied the second level of the social pyramid, and we must maintain the correctness of Confucian sage for ten thousand years without wavering.

Otherwise, the foundation of Confucian sage governance of the country will be overturned, how can we still be able to do it?

For such a dilemma, He Jin...of course, there is also a countermeasure: to use his spear and attack his shield.

After all, the end of the sage education is benevolence, politeness, faith, and the world is harmonious. As long as you firmly agree with this, the figures of Confucian sage learning will be contaminated and be betrayed by themselves.

Moreover, the more a true politician who has been in the officialdom for many years and has rich experience in governing the country, the more he will reflect and chew.

Faced with Jiao Fang's accusation, He Jin suddenly took a gamble and said, "Your Majesty, I still have nothing to say about this."

"However, the Minister of War is in charge of the world's military and is also a person who uses the interests of trade to reform the military system. I believe that Master Liu's words can best explain the pros and cons of trade and trade, and are the most fair and objective."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned. It seemed that He Jin would not have expected such a dangerous move.

After all, according to the secret report from the Jinyiwei, although this kid has made these periods of time planning, he has not changed Liu Daxia's mind.

If Liu Daxia is asked to go to the palace to make a statement, what if he stands on the side of the civil service group and sends troops to aid the Mongolejin tribe, wouldn’t it be a waste of time?

For a moment, all the officials in front of Fengtian Gate also turned their attention to Liu Daxia.

Although they were reprimanding these days, and Liu Daxia and He Jin were in harmony, they also knew that the opinions of this Minister of War were the most important when sending troops.

With their years of understanding of Liu Daxia, they still hope that Liu Daxia can change his past and stand firmly on the front of their civil service group, completely shattering He Jin's unrealistic fantasy.

However, Liu Daxia, who was brought to the hall by officials of Tongzhengsi, did not speak as generously as usual.

He frowned and looked at the majestic Emperor Hongzhi, and then looked back at the colleagues and officials in front of Fengtianmen. Finally, his eyes were on the young man He Jin, painful and entangled.

By chance, Jiao Fang felt guilty at this moment and said first: "Your Majesty, I heard that He Jin was cunning and was very ruling. First, he repeatedly bribed Lord Liu, and recommended that Lord Liu's son be a prosecutor of the Ministry of Commerce... Such stains are ahead, Lord Liu's words have been biased, and I think it is not worth accepting!"

The clay man is still very angry, not to mention Liu Daxia, who has never done anything wrong in his life.

In front of Emperor Hongzhi and the civil and military officials in the court, the old man's mind, the tangled and forbearing string suddenly broke, and he said angrily: "Jiao Fang, the last time the officials petitioned you for shirking your responsibilities, and this time he was so sensational. Do you really think that Your Majesty and the officials don't know your evil thoughts?"

They are all in the court, who doesn’t know who is worth a pound?

What's more, Liu Daxia's seniors in the three dynasties, with qualifications, fame and ability, are several streets higher than Jiao Fang's temper and are soft but not hard. Jiao Fang fires so randomly, but he just stabs a hornet's nest?

"As for the business and trade, I was as expected at first, and I thought it was a matter of shaking the foundation of the country. But you, who are not doing anything for production and are arrogant, have you been to Beijing camp for inspection, have you ever seen the embarrassment and shabby life of military households?"

Also, what is the irresponsible statement that shakes the foundation of the country? Why do I only see that the people have more ways to make a living, and the imperial treasury is full of them. Isn’t it pale and ridiculous to think about finding a conclusion without really going out?”

As soon as these words were said, the morning court was in an uproar.

Only He Jin laughed faintly from the side and muttered: "Sure enough, everything is as I expected..."
