Emperor Jiajing is an emperor with a vertical posture, although he was delayed by cultivating immortals and refining pills, although he has not been in the court for more than ten years, but not going to the court does not mean that he does not take care of the government, Emperor Jiajing firmly controls the government, and any wind and grass in the court can not escape his ears and eyes.

Since his accession to the throne, there has not been a day when power has fallen, and his control of power has reached the point of perfection, Zhang Xuan, Xia Yan, Yan Song, and ....... seem to be infinitely beautiful, but they are just a chess piece in the hands of Emperor Jiajing.

Genius is not terrible, but hardworking genius is terrible.

It is true that Emperor Jiajing was obsessed with cultivating immortals and refining pills, but Emperor Jiajing was also famous for his diligence and often reviewed the chapters until late at night.

It is estimated that in modern times, most people can only play until late at night.

Emperor Jiajing, the king of a country, is still so diligent, should we also be diligent from time to time on a whim.

Emperor Jiajing was resolute.

At the end of the afternoon, Emperor Jiajing lost his temper in the cabinet, and after losing his temper, he ordered a court meeting to discuss the emptiness of the treasury.

The court meeting is also the assembly of the courtiers, which is a deliberative system that began in the Ming Dynasty.

Because of the suddenness of the incident, Zhu Ping'an and some other cabinet officials were sent out to urgently notify the relevant personnel of the court meeting.

Zhu Ping'an was responsible for informing Sun Yingkui, the secretary of the household department.

When Zhu Ping'an felt that when the household department was in the household department, many officials in the household department had already gone home from work, but Sun Yingkui was still in the office.

Sun Yingkui is a white-bearded old man in his sixties, his official uniform is neat, and his white hair is meticulously combed, after hearing Zhu Ping'an's approach, Sun Yingkui glanced up at Zhu Ping'an, smiled formulaically and said, "Zhuang Yuanlang, please wait for a while, and I will sort out the income and expenditure of the Tai Warehouse before leaving." Liu Er served tea to Zhuang Yuanlang. ”

"Thank you Sun Shangshu, but please hurry up."

After Zhu Ping'an thanked Sun Yingkui, he reminded Sun Yingkui to tidy up quickly, and then sat down and waited for Sun Yingkui.

The scribe named Liu Er in the room poured a cup of tea for Zhu Ping'an, and Zhu Ping'an thanked him again.

Sun Yingkui checked the books and sorted out the income and expenditure of Taicang.

Zhu Ping'an silently glanced at the stack of books on Sun Yingkui's desk and the several income and expenditure records that had been sorted out, and knew in his heart that Sun Yingkui had already sorted out most of them before he came, and now he was about to finish the work.

It seems that Sun Yingkui had already expected today when he was in the book, so he didn't get off work yet, but was sorting out the income and expenditure situation in Taicang.

Sun Yingkui is not a man of the year in history, and Zhu Ping'an has not paid much attention to Sun Yingkui in modern times.

However, after Zhu Ping'an came to the capital, he had heard of Sun Yingkui.

In the mouths of others, Sun Yingkui was a counselor when he was young, and he offended the powerful many times, and he was an official with a high demeanor. However, since Sun Yingkui got older, especially after he was in charge of the household department, the wind evaluation is not as good as in the past, and everyone's evaluation of Sun Yingkui is described by an idiom: reluctant and stealing.

No matter what everyone evaluates, from today's short contact, Zhu Ping'an does not dare to underestimate Sun Yingkui.

This is an old driver of officialdom who can predict Emperor Jiajing's thoughts, and there are not many officials who can do this in the entire Ming Dynasty.

It doesn't matter if he's just stealing it or not

With his political acumen, Zhu Ping'an did not dare to underestimate him.

Sun Yingkui said that tea kung fu is tea kung fu, and when Zhu Ping'an's cup of tea was about to be drunk, Sun Yingkui had already sorted it out.

The household department was outside the West Garden, and Zhu Ping'an and Sun Yingkui, the head of the household department, soon arrived in the West Garden.

This court meeting is set up in Wuyi.

The three cabinet ministers Yan Song, Lu Ben, Xu Jie, Sun Yingkui, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, He Ao, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, the secretary of the Ministry of War, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, the imperial history of the Imperial Palace, etc., were divided into two rows on the left and right and approached the Wuyi Hall one after another, facing the dragon chair throne in the middle, kneeling on the ground, waiting for Emperor Jiajing's holy drive.

Zhu Ping'an, Li Chunfang, and other four people, as officials directly under the cabinet, were also fortunate to participate in this court meeting, and they also knelt on the ground in a more remote part of the hall.

He bowed like this for about ten minutes.

Zhu Ping'an knelt in the back, and he was sure that Emperor Jiajing was probably angry in his heart, and he deliberately came late to dry these ministers.

I was implicated.

After kneeling for ten minutes, he heard the sound of the net whip three times, and then the two teams of eunuchs walked in one after another with gold furnaces and gossip mats in their hands, burned ambergris in an orderly manner, and arranged the utensils; Then, a team of palace maids holding palace fans walked in with Emperor Jiajing, the Ninety-Five.

Emperor Jiajing, as before, was dressed in a green cloth gossip robe, and Shi Shiran sat on the dragon chair, with extraordinary majesty.

After Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair, the officials who knelt down and worshiped the underground under the leadership of Yan Song called out to me, "Long live the emperor, long live, long live", and after three long lives, they hit the ground with their heads, and everyone was very respectful to Emperor Jiajing.

"Zhongqing's family is flat, Huang Ban, give Weizhong a seat." Emperor Jiajing sat on the dragon chair and glanced at everyone and waved his hand.

"Long live thanks." The officials shouted their thanks and then got up one after another.

Huang Jin led a little eunuch and brought Yan Song a cushion embroidered with gossip patterns, and asked Yan Song to sit down to discuss the matter, Yan Song was old, and still insisted on kneeling down to thank Emperor Jiajing, Emperor Jiajing waved his hand, and Yan Song dared to sit down.

This is Yan Song's unique benefit, and other officials have to stand and deliberate.

A chime sounded to represent the official start of the court meeting.

The little eunuchs in the main hall bowed their heads and walked out of Wuyi Shrine in small steps, and closed the door of the palace.

"Today, why I called the secretaries, I think the secretaries also know in their hearts. Qing and the others are all my ministers, and today I speak freely, I don't sin my words, I will listen to the Qing people to me today. ”

Emperor Jiajing's eyes swept over each of the ministers one by one, and then waved down the sleeves of his wide robe and leaned back on the dragon chair.

The hall was quiet for a second, and then Yan Song spoke, as the head of the cabinet, he should have spoken first at this time.

"In recent years, our dynasty has been troubled and difficult, with natural disasters and man-made disasters in the north and south, natural disasters and man-made disasters....... but as the saying goes, it is difficult to prosper the country. Fortunately, thanks to the wisdom of the saints, our dynasty has gone through hardships and become more and more stable, and the country is picturesque...... The Holy Lord's grace is vast, the grace of the people, we are bathing in the emperor's grace, and we should think about serving the country, if we can't share the worries for the saint, what face is there to bathe in the emperor's grace, it is better to resign......" Yan Song said slowly.

"What Elder Yan Ge said is very true." Xu Jie was the first to nod.

"Master Xu, where do you say to start?" Yan Song looked at Xu Jie and asked.

"As Lord Yan said just now, there have been many things and difficulties in our dynasty in recent years, and I foolishly think that the treasury is the key, if the treasury is full, then the border salary is sufficient, and there is no fear of the north and the south, and the disaster relief grain is not afraid of natural disasters. Whether the treasury is sufficient or not is nothing more than revenue and expenditure, the more revenue and less expenditure, the treasury is sufficient; If there is less revenue and more expenditure, the treasury will be empty. The situation of the treasury, no one knows better than Sun Shangshu of the household department, or ask Sun Shangshu of the household department to tell us about the income and expenditure items of Taicang, and we can also have a target. Xu Jie arched his hand and said slowly.
