Chapter 211 If it is useful to open a store, what else should the Ministry of Revenue do?

The next month, I will try to get back to normal. I will try to attend the full attendance next month. Yes, it is the one who is 10,000 yuan a day. Brothers, you should understand it. There is no guarantee of success, but at least you will work hard.

Liu Jian was a veteran of all dynasties, and his qualifications and prestige were beyond words. However, he was silent on weekdays, but he was not so popular when he was in the Hanlin Academy. He once had the nickname of "wood".

Since he was promoted to the prime minister, he has spoken fewer words on weekdays, but whenever he speaks, he often has to make a final statement. In the eyes of his colleagues, it is actually a bit strong and not so comfortable. The three words "Liu Gongduan" in the legend of the government and the country actually have a larger derogatory meaning, but Liu Jianquan has a high position and no one dares to make it clear.

Therefore, the rebellion between strong and powerful people has no origin. With Liu Daxia's personality, he cannot get along with Liu Jian too well.

However, Li Dongyang is different from Liu Jian. He is rarely talented and famous, and is known as a child prodigy in the capital. Later, he passed the exam at the age of 18, and was famous for his poetry and prose. His personality is also gentle and mellow, with the style of an ancient gentleman, and has many praises among his colleagues. In addition to a few jealous people, Li Grand Secretary Li has a popularity in the court that surpasses the chief assistant Liu Jian.

Softness can overcome hardness, so Liu Daxia's strong temper is very respectful to Li Dongyang, so he did not refute it. If it were someone else who would interrupt him without any brains, it would be strange if Liu Shangshu was not angry.

But since the person who spoke was Grand Secretary Li, he knew that there must be some connection and had no expression. After getting up to see the guests, he was waiting in the flower hall.

Soon after, the servant came to report that the three Grand Secretary had turned back to the door. Liu Daxia naturally did not dare to neglect and hurriedly greeted him.

Return to the flower hall, and both sides sit and serve tea.

Liu Daxia was confused and couldn't help it. After all the servants went out, he asked anxiously: "Brother Xiya, you just stopped me, but now the three elders are turning around together, but are there any reasons or concerns?" Xiya is Li Dongyang's name. Now there are few people and it is not a formal occasion, so Liu Daxia used a private name.

This matter was strange. Just now, Liu Daxia was obviously not only a fight of intentions, but also had some discoveries, so why didn't he let him say it out?

Don’t talk about Liu Daxia, even if it is Xie Qian, he was confused at this time, staring at Li Dongyang, who is also a minister with doubt in his eyes. However, Liu Jian’s qi cultivation skills are very good. He didn’t ask just now, and now he is sitting upright with his eyes and nose, as if things have nothing to do with him.

"Shi Yong, have you found any clues? Why not explain to me first?" Li Dongyang pondered slightly, but did not answer the question.

"I have found some discoveries... Since Brother Xiya said that, I will say it out and ask the three of you to discuss it together." Liu Daxia was very patient in front of Li Dongyang. He paused, organized his words, and said, "Actually, I don't know if this matter can interfere with Lord Han's plan, but it is related to the palace. Xie Hong is also inseparable from the relationship..."

When they heard the two keywords Gongli and Xie Hong, even Liu Jian opened his eyes, and the three of them were very concerned.

"Shangshu Liu, there is no one else here. Even if things are inconsistent, they will not be affected by others. Just say it bluntly." Because of your attention, Xie Qian was a little impatient with Liu Daxia's hesitation, so he urged.

"It's important to be important, so you have to explain the whole story." Liu Daxia was not so polite to Xie Qian. He said to him neither soft nor hard, and then continued to tell: "Today's action, for the sake of safety, I ordered the military personnel to divide it into three parts..." He first talked about the incident and his own plan.

"... Zhengyang Gate is too prosperous, and the large group of people cannot pass through, so only one confidant and a few people were sent to stare at it. The three elders knew about the result of the action, and I didn't say much." Liu Daxia smiled bitterly and laughed at it, and then his tone suddenly became solemn: "There is a discovery in Zhengyang Gate!"

"Oh?" Xie Qian's eyes narrowed, Li Dongyang seemed to be thinking, and Liu Jian also leaned forward slightly, but he was attracted by the hindrance that Liu Daxia sold.

"It was normal, but there was a shop in the imperial village being repaired, but my confidant had experienced some scenes. He saw the owner of the shop, which was Gu Dayong, who was beside the emperor!"

The imperial village is not only a manor, but also some shops. The eunuchs in the palace are also responsible for the management. However, such a small matter cannot be used for eunuchs like Gu Dayong, who are in charge of his duties. This matter is indeed a bit suspicious. The three cabinet ministers nodded slightly.

Liu Daxia continued to explain: "That's all. According to my confidant's inquiry, the store started to be renovated a month ago, which means..."

"It is in cooperation with the abnormal behaviors of the Nanzhen Fushi and the palace! Those two actions are to cover this shop!" This month, Xie Hong and Zhengde's actions were extremely strange, causing trouble for many people. After confirming them, the answer was faintly revealed, and Xie Qian blurted out.

"That's right, I also thought this way." Liu Daxia echoed: "Xie Hong's superb craftsmanship must have bewitched the emperor and wanted to sell treasures to deal with the Ministry of Revenue's attack, so he hid in the Nanzhen Fushi Department for Xunyue."

"Impossible?" Xie Qian was excited just now. After calming down, he felt something was wrong. He doubted: "How expensive is the palace? No matter how exquisite his skills are, his strength is ultimately limited. Even if he makes thirty or fifty treasures a year, each piece can be compared with those before. I'm afraid it's not enough. Besides..."

Relying on a shop to maintain the entire palace, even including the Nanzhen Fushi. This matter was incredible. When Xie Hong talked about it that day, in addition to Zhengde, even Gu Dayong shook his head, let alone others?

Liu Daxia was not very confident at first. If it weren't for being inspired by Han Wen's words, he wouldn't have planned to say it out. At this time, Xie Qian reminded him, and he said a little embarrassedly: "I don't know, but this matter is too coincidental, and I can't help but have such an association. Even Master Xie, didn't he just now..."

The two looked at each other and didn't say much about this issue. The conclusion they came to was indeed like this, but this conclusion was too nonsense. If this could be true, then what else would the Ministry of Revenue do? Isn't it just to open stores everywhere in the Ming Dynasty?

"It's not necessarily true!" Li Dongyang just listened quietly, but suddenly interrupted.

"What do Binzhi have?" Xie Qian and the others were stunned, but it was Liu Jian who spoke to him.

"In my opinion, this is what the emperor and Xie Hong plan." Li Dongyang pondered: "Xie Hong was born in a humble and started from a humble state. He was good at being a strange and lewd skill, so he acted differently from our generation of scholars. This was why he relied on the holy family and made it difficult for the court and the people to deal with it for a while."

Everyone nodded and agreed with Li Dongyang's words. Rather than saying that they value Xie Hong, it is better to pay attention to the effect of Zhengde and Xie Hong, otherwise how could they call Xie Hong a jester? No matter how stupid the emperor is, as long as there is no one around him, then the world will be peaceful. This is an iron rule passed down from generation to generation by the court officials.

"However, he is just an ordinary person. Even if he is a little clever, the rules of his actions are not difficult to see. To sum up, it is just a means between the market." Li Dongyang smiled and said, "So, although that conclusion is incredible, Xie Hong is probably planning this way. The emperor obeyed his words. Dongshan really understood his conspiracy this time!"

Li Dongyang's words are just like being a human being, and he not only belittles Xie Hong, but also praises several colleagues. A gentleman is open and honest, but he is always worried! Of course, the open and honest gentleman is not familiar with the methods in the market, and he doesn't have so much calculations. It's nothing to do with a few tricks occasionally. Anyway, it's evil that can't beat the right one.

After receiving Li Dongyang's praise, Liu Daxia's face also shone red, and she said loudly: "I can't praise you, I can't praise you! I just saw through the naughty boy's prank, how can I claim to be a credit? Even if I let them do it, what can I get in the end? It's just a bamboo basket to get water."

He said that, but he was very interested. No matter whether it was a prank or not, at least this incident had troubled the government and the public for more than a month, but in the end, Lord Liu saw through it. Today's affairs are not considered to be ineffective.

"Otherwise." Li Dongyang shook his head and said, "No matter how clumsy his plan is, what the final result is, we can't sit idly by..." Li Dongyang was no longer resourceful, without Xie Hong's explanation, he couldn't understand how Xie Hong could use a store to solve the emperor's financial problems.

But he dared not ignore Xie Hong. No matter what the means, Xie Hong has been singing all the way since he entered Beijing. If there is a situation this time, the Ministry of Revenue's plan is also vain, it would be difficult to limit Zhengde.

So, although he didn't think that the store could make any waves, it would be impossible to mess with the opponent's plan. Based on the principle of being careful and no big mistakes, Li Dongyang still planned to cause some trouble for Xie Hong and prevent the store from opening smoothly.

"Just..." Xie Qian frowned and felt very embarrassed. If he wanted to stop it, he would return to the original problem. How to deal with the pair? Besides, if you make a big fight for this is not a troublesome trouble, wouldn't it be a killer to kill a chicken? Wouldn't it be nice to see if he loses himself?

"I shouldn't come forward for this matter..." Li Dongyang made up his mind. He knew that no one would want to face the crazy man Xie Hong, so he left a step for others, and then expressed his real purpose: "It's only about Min Shangshu."

"Ministry of Justice?" Liu Daxia was very confused. Even if he really wanted to completely turn against Zhengde and convict Xie Hong, he should use Dali Temple. What does it have to do with the Ministry of Justice?

"This matter should not be taken to the court. It is convenient for Minister Min of the Ministry of Justice to mobilize Shuntian Mansion. This time, there is no need to use force. Just let Shuntian Mansion come forward and get involved. If Xie Hong is rude and starts the matter, it will not be too late..." Li Dongyang came up with a bad idea. Shuntian Mansion would definitely not be able to beat the man, but they can disgust people.

Xie Hong has only one thousand men under him, and he has to station in the Nanzhen Fushi. There can be hundreds of people in the store, right? If it is released, it would be better. Those people are notorious. Seeing them, even if there is a sea of ​​gold and silver in the store, who dares to enter?

Li Dongyang didn't need to solve the problem at one time, but he was trying to interfere with the idea of ​​disturbing and hindering. As long as there was a little more time, the savings in the palace would be used up and the cost would naturally begin to be tight. It would be best if Zhengde gave in. If he did not bow his head, then he would only cut off the eunuchs in the palace. In this way, the goal would be achieved.

"Just follow the blog." Liu Jian was the one who decided to do it, and the others had no objection. Although this behavior was a bit extravagant, since you don't have to go barefoot and cause trouble to the enemy, why not do it?

The plan has been decided and the atmosphere is better, but Liu Daxia remembered the previous questions.

"Brother Xiya, this matter is not a big deal, so why bother to work for the three of you to return? It's such a big deal?"

"Actually, it's just for a secret. Although it's just a trivial matter, it's always a plan. If the news leaks out, it's tricky..." Li Dongyang smiled and explained.

"Can anyone among the nine ministers..." Liu Daxia was frightened and even Liu Jian turned his head, looking at Li Dongyang in surprise.

Some people below the Nine Ministers may surrender. When Zhengde ascended the throne, many people surrendered to Liu Jin. However, the criticism of the government and the public increased day by day, and most of them were stolen. But those people were just competing for the situation. There should be no talent among the Nine Ministers?

The Nine Ministers are basically the peak of civil officials. If you want to go up, you can only enter the cabinet. However, entering the cabinet is not the final word of the emperor. You have to go through the court. If anyone who surrenders to the emperor will just destroy his reputation. The court will never be able to pass the level of court recommendation.

"It's not that serious, but I'm a little too cautious." Li Dongyang shook his head and denied.

He had doubts in his heart, and even the suspect had been confirmed, but it was all his guesses out of thin air and there was no evidence. Even if the other party was the lowest among the nine ministers and he was a minister, he would doubt a minister without evidence, which not only did it not comply with the rules, but also damage his reputation.

During the court meeting, he began to doubt that Zeng Jian has always been low-key, but his skills and knowledge are even above many famous craftsmen. Others disdained this, but Li Dongyang has always believed in the principle of using everything and thought that the chief assistant's demeanor was the demeanor, so he paid attention to it.

During the court meeting, Zeng Jian did not say a word, and Li Dongyang became suspicious, but he could not find any evidence. Xie Hong had only been to Zeng Mansion once, and when the court officials were not paying attention to him, he also conducted anti-tracking. Zeng Jian's actions were even more careful. There was that scene around the Nanzhen Fushi Department, and no spies could move around there.

Moreover, Zeng Jian’s low-keyness is also difficult to deal with. This Shangshu is not just as low-key, but has become so low-key that he has no desires and no desires. Last year, he returned to his hometown to attend the funeral, and since then he has been recuperating in his hometown. If it weren’t for the imperial edict, he would have been reborn.

When he returned to the capital, he was still the same. During his departure from the capital, all the affairs of the Ministry of Works had fallen into the hands of the left minister Li Jue, but Zeng Jian ignored him and looked unwilling to worry about him. He did not take any relevant common cases and ordered them all.

In this way, Zeng Jian not only won unanimous praise from the Ministry of Works, but also had a lot of praise from the government and the government. Without one person who had been fighting for power, everyone was naturally happy. Li Yu had not yet obtained his qualifications and could not be promoted to the Minister of State. He wished Zeng Jian would continue to be a puppet for two years. Zeng Jian was old and could not stay in the court for a few years. By then, he would naturally be better than transferring one now.

Faced with such a person, Li Dongyang did not dare to act rashly even if he had some evidence. Ling forced an old man who had no desires and was about to retire, and was no longer a gentleman's style. If it was spread, it would definitely lose its reputation.

Therefore, he could only take secret defense measures, rather than explicitly speaking.

Li Dongyang didn't say it, and the others didn't ask in detail. They were all senior officials of the court, so there was still some cleverness.
