Chapter 653 Deathmatch (2) - Routines, All Routines
Everyone in the hall turned their attention to Yu Zicheng, Wei Hong, Zeng Jin, Yin Peng and others in the civil servant camp.
Song Tianguan made extraordinary moves. He hit the nail on the head and used his own conditions to the extreme. Speaking of which, when Grand Secretary He said he could not get sick and Grand Secretary Hua left Beijing, Song Tianguan was the first person to come into contact with the memorial!
Although the Tongzhengsi was in charge of memorials from all over the world, Yin Yan had to deliver the memorials directly to Song Tianguan, so there were not too many ways. For example, he could send someone to throw the memorials directly to Zuoshunmen.
Therefore, the court officials didn't know about the memorial of Yin. Song Tianguan attacked him suddenly and the effect was excellent.
Yin Yan was originally the Right Yude of Zhan Shifu. In the 13th year of Yongzhi, he ran for the former crown prince and framed Jia Huan. The Yimao Ke test fraud case was defeated and demoted. He was the former crown prince's confidant. However, at this time, people had to doubt the relationship between him and Song Tianguan.
For example, a little later, Han Xiucai, who was paying attention to the discussions in Wuying Palace in Jingyuan, realized that the prefect Yin once said that he would return to the court easily. This is true!
…
…
The right side of the debate, Yin Peng came out and said: "Shangshu Song's words are very wrong. Every autumn harvest, silver is precious and grain is cheap. It is not a situation that only occurs after the implementation of the whip method. It has always existed."
At this time, Dai Cong, the new Shanxi Dao Zhengdao Censor and the number one horseman of Bai Zhang, the Minister of Works, snatched it out and said loudly: "Mr. Yin should know that it is not whether the silver is precious or the grain is cheap, but that the court does not need silver to collect taxes, so the people have a way out."
As he said that, he stepped forward a few steps and kowtowed loudly, "My decree Dai Cong, impeaching the left censor Yin Peng, the censor of the Censorate, has no talent for practical work. He only knows how to speak out loud and disregard the kindness of the saint king. I would like to kill this villain to thank all the people of the world."
"Wow..."
If the verbal battle in Wuying Hall was previously immune to the quarrels after everyone had been quarreled for more than half a month, it was just an appetizer, if the surprise attack of Song Tianguan and the style of high-ranking officials were like a trickle of water.
Although Song Tianguan hit the nail on the head, he did not say anything too much, but only asked the emperor to abolish the whip method.
Then, Dai Cong's words came violently like a violent heavy rain.
The ministers in Wuying Hall all spoke in surprise. It was nonsense! It was very fierce! It was very arrogant! It pointed at the boss at the head and said he wanted to chop his head. It sounded like thunder.
Yin Dazhong Cheng was so embarrassed that he was so embarrassed that he immediately kept silent and stopped engaging with Dai Cong.
If he wanted to get entangled with Dai Cong, at this time, he just needed to leave the official hat, take off his bones, and make a gesture, and someone would naturally scold Dai Cong. It was impossible, because a few words would kill the important officials' heads.
As the saying goes, character determines destiny. Yin Dazhong Cheng gave in at this time, which also means that he lost the qualification to compete for the position of Grand Secretary of the Military Affairs Office. How can a minister who was scolded by his subordinates be the prime minister?
There are risks everywhere above the temple! If you are not careful, you will fall down.
Bai Zhang, the Minister of Works, smiled slightly. One competitor was missing. He had a personal grudge with Jia Huan, but he didn't want Jia Huan to come out of the Heavenly Prison. Speaking of which, in the past six months, it has caused huge waves to change the government's political situation. It was the King of Jin. As the King of Chu, he was just planning to cut a big cake: he wanted to enter the Ministry of Military Affairs.
There were many people in Wuying's palace who realized that Yin Dazhong Cheng had been eliminated. Tongzheng's envoy Yu Zicheng smiled.
At this time, a clear voice sounded, refuting Dai Cong's view, "Fake fame! The root of the problem is precisely when the harvest is good, silver is precious and the grain is cheap, not a whip method. Isn't it putting the cart before the horse if you don't seek to solve the fundamental problem, but accuse a whip method?
As he said that, he said to Emperor Yongzhi: "I have a plan to fundamentally solve the problem of low-cost grain and injuring farmers. I ask Your Majesty to cast silver coins and spread them to the world." He took out a pair of paper from his sleeve bag and painted the pattern of Yuan Datou.
In Wuying Hall, there was another burst of amazement. The strange peak burst out!
In fact, Yin Dazhong Cheng was scolded by Censor Dai, just waiting for nothing. The ministers in the hall were used to seeing ** and at most sighed a few times. However, Wei Hong, the Minister of Revenue, was amazed by everyone.
By the way, the pros and cons of the argument about the whip method have been very clear until now. This is called: the truth becomes clearer the more you argue. Today, when we come to Wuying Hall, we must produce evidence and influence the emperor's judgment, and then we can win.
For example, just now, Song Tianguan took out a memorial from the prefecture of Huangzhou, Huguang. As an example, Secretary Wei gave a plan to fix the loopholes in the whip method. This is obviously a better skill.
Secretary Wei’s reputation in the court was: a capable minister. In other words, he was a technical bureaucrat. In addition, he was the Minister of Revenue, and he said that he could solve the problem of low grain and low farmers. Everyone believed in him first, and then discussed the specific issues.
Here we need to say a few more words about the tricks in Wei Shangshu Temple.
The so-called silver is precious and the grain is cheap. After reading Mr. Ye Shengtao's article "Crossing three or five dou more", he should generally understand that when the harvest is good, the price of grain is very low and it is impossible to exchange for a few silver dollars.
This is not an economic phenomenon: supply exceeds demand. It is a social phenomenon. This is exploitation. It is the exploitation of the ruling class by the ruling class using "power".
What happened to farmers over the past thousands of years? All their income is from farming, called digging food from the soil. The income can only be cashed out when the grain is harvested. A problem arises here: farmers need to borrow to deal with their days before the harvest.
For the prodigal businessmen, this time window can be used to make a scissor gap and shear wool. When borrowing money, borrowing money during normal times, and when harvesting, it lowers the exchange price of grain and currency.
Wang Anshi's Qingmiao Method is to solve this problem, but it was not solved in the end.
Therefore, the One Whip Act stipulates that when the grain is bumper, the payment of banknotes is another major exploitation for farmers. Opponents are not all random things, they are indeed flawed and are exploited by others. The cleverness of Chinese people is the best at taking advantage of loopholes.
Secretary Wei said that he could solve this problem: minting silver coins.
From the perspective of historical origins, every dynasty in China would mint copper coins. In the Han, Tang and Song dynasties, it can be said that it was the copper standard. China lacked copper. However, during the Ming Dynasty, a large amount of overseas silver flowed in, and in fact, the currency had become the silver standard.
Emperor Yongzhi's expression moved slightly. He had always had a good sense of Wei Hong. Therefore, when the national treasury was empty, Wei Hong was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and relied on his abilities. He looked at the pattern handed over to the Xiaohuangmen and said, "Tell me to the ministers."
When the ministers circulated "Yuan Datou", the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao, bowed and said, "The officials have something unknown. Please ask Lord Wei to solve the problem of minting silver coins. How to solve the problem of silver being expensive and low in grain?"
Some of the ministers in the palace cursed in their hearts, "It's so shameless." The fools could see that Mr. Zhao was serving as a entrusting Wei Hong. At this time, the better he said, the more he was appreciated by the emperor. The easier it was to lead in the competition!
Zeng Jin, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites and the master of the Hanlin Academy, sighed secretly. He just regretted giving Wei Hong a first step. Now it seems that Wei Hong has made comprehensive preparations!
Wei Hong was in his heart and replied: "Silver is valuable and the grain is cheap. If there is a lot of silver circulating, this problem can be solved."
This answer is plausible.
Song Tianguan glanced at Wei Hong beside him and sneered. Wei Hong was fooling him! But don’t think that the ministers in the court could not see the mystery! Dai Xianzong, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel, was about to leave the list.
At this time, Yang Jiantian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, said: "The Ministry of Works can do it by casting a silver coin with eight cents of silver. However, the officials still don't understand, so please help the elders to solve the doubts. How can the minted silver coins be circulated in the world? How can silver coins be circulated in the world? How can the people have it in their hands?"
Emperor Yongzhi interrupted and said, "Well. How do you explain Wei Qing?"
Wei Hong was 61 years old at the time, with a slightly fat body and a little old appearance, which was related to his role as a governor. He had too many things to do with local officials. However, his old appearance increased his authority.
Wei Hong bowed to the emperor and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the reason is extremely complicated. I have limited knowledge and it is difficult to explain it as simple and clear. I asked Your Majesty to summon Jia Huan to ask. I also learned this method from him."
"oh…"
There was an uproar in Wuying's Hall. All the ministers in the hall were whispering. The censors couldn't even take care of them.
The turn of the circle!
Routines, all routines!
Mr. Zhao was a entrusted by Secretary Wei. There was no doubt that the quick-reacting people in Wuying's palace had already understood that Yang Jiantian, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, was also a entrusted by Secretary Wei. Mr. Yang had a good relationship with the Jia family! Everyone in the court knew it.
In the 78th chapter of the original book of the Red Mansion, someone asked Jia Zheng to look for the osmanthus flowers in autumn. Jia Zheng brought Jia Baoyu, Jia Huan and Jia Lan to the scene. Jia Baoyu came back in the evening and said: This was given by Mei Hanlin, that was given by Minister Yang, and that was given by Mr. Li.
The friendship between Mr. Yang and Jia Zheng can be seen.
Routine.
Secretary Wei first spoke big talk to arouse the emperor's curiosity. Then he recommended Jia Huan to be a part of his life. Wei Hong, a capable minister in the country, claimed that he had limited knowledge. Do you feel ashamed of raising Jia Huan like this? Are you shameless?
A routine!
But, politically, the most feared thing is shameless. Shangshu Wei clearly took his time today and was shameless.
At this time, Yuwenrui, Zhu Hongfei, and Wei Hanlin all understood. Where was Jia Huan's foreshadowing: Secretary Wei. Jia Huan wanted to come to this Wuying Hall in person to compete with some people and certain forces! His will was revealed, as hard as iron and as sharp as a knife.
Zhu Hongfei is still young, and he is inevitably excited. Jia Huan wants to solve his political enemies personally, so it’s great!
A man is as determined as iron as he wants to give up, and he will try to repair the cracks of the sky.
bring it on!
Fei Zhuangyuan, who was standing in the Hanlin square in front, also understood at this time. Shangshu Wei surrounded such a big circle and recommended Jia Huan to enter the Wuying Palace. Who doesn’t think much about it? Fei Zhuangyuan felt unspeakable in his heart!
The first immortal among the three thousand people! This is a poem written by Jia Huan, the Yimao Academy, after the examination of the Imperial Examination. The first in the Imperial Examination, such pride is worth remembering for life. Later, he was ranked in Hanyuan and selected by Qingliuhua. Jia Huan is a model of success in his youth!
He was recommended by the court to be the editor-in-chief of the Truth, a 14-year-old fifth-rank official, who was not afraid of power in Wuying Hall, impeached King Jin and King Chu. How dazzling was he? A genius figure! However, he was framed by a eunuch and Jinyiwei because of a farewell poem that could be passed down from generation to generation. He was trapped in the prison of heaven and defeated the mortal world.
What a shame this is?
He should be coming to seek justice.
Fei Zhuangyuan was surging.
…
…
Standing at the top of the ministers, He Shuo, who had always been like a puppet, was slightly moved.
Song Tianguan and Bai Zhang, the Minister of Works, looked at each other, and were quite surprised. The Prince of Nan'an complained to King Beijing, "Prince Shui, is this okay?"
King Beijing was wearing a red prince's uniform and smiled without saying a word.
…
…
Emperor Yongzhi was not a foolish monarch. At such a time when the everlasting problems could be solved, it was impossible for him not to summon Jia Huan. Even if he did not like Jia Huan in his heart.
Otherwise, a note will be recorded in the future in history books: Situ Weihong recommended Huan, but the emperor did not see him, and the matter failed. Do he still have a reputation behind him?
Chapter completed!
