Chapter 32: Unstoppable
The next day, at the Qianqing Palace, Zhou Yanru, a scholar of the Middle Pole Temple, the second assistant of the cabinet, He Fengsheng, a scholar of the Second Auxiliary Jianji Temple, Zhang Sizhi, a scholar of Wenhuadian University, Xie Sheng, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, Wei Zhaocheng, a scholar of Wenyuange University, and Chen Yan, a scholar of Dongge University, all arrived.
In the deliberations of the court and the central government, the emperor summons the ministers involved, and it is generally the six ministries, one courtyard and four temples and other officials who enter the palace. As for the Cabinet Minister, it was originally set up as the Emperor's secretarial body, with only advisers and assistants. However, with the subsequent development of the dynasty, the authority of the scholar has gone beyond the scope of the secretary and has the power of almost the prime minister, and is called Zaifu. The scholars of the Middle Pole Hall are the scholars of the Jianji Temple, and the scholars of the other Pole Temples represent different influences in the imperial court according to their ranks, which are called group auxiliaries.
Generally speaking, each scholar has his or her own division of labor, and except for the first and second assistants, all other scholars are not required to attend every court. This time, all the elders of the cabinet appeared together, which obviously showed the importance that the emperor attached to this meeting.
Similarly, Chen Xinjia, the secretary of the military department, Fu Shuxun, the secretary of the household department, and Wang Zhengzhi, the head of the household department, who were present early, all looked solemn and solemn.
Compared with the solemn look of his subordinates, Emperor Chongzhen, who has always been sad, is in a good mood today, looking at Wang Zhengzhi's recital in his hand, no matter how satisfied he looks.
On the side, there was a letter that had already been read and played by Chen Xinjia.
Seeing this, Chen Xinjia, who was watching below, also secretly spoke, and his mood was relaxed.
Wang Zhengzhi, the head of the household department, made an explosive effort, so that the household department was able to quickly raise 300,000 folded silver, 100,000 stone true colors this time, and the military department was naturally not far behind, and quickly raised 100,000 taels of folded silver, 50,000 taels of true color. Although there is still a difference of 50,000 taels of silver, it doesn't matter. Military salaries do not need to be allocated at one time, and they can be raised slowly in the future.
No matter how bad it is, one less battalion leader is enough. Being able to ask for 400,000 taels of military expenses has already made the military department overjoyed, and it can clean up the broken situation.
Chen Xinjia was in a good mood, and Wang Zhengzhi, who looked at Chongzhen looking through his performance and smiled, could almost be described as complacent.
Sure enough, Chongzhen opened his mouth to praise: "Wang Zhengzhi of the household department is diligent and diligent, and the strategy of raising money and food in Beijing this time is very good, excellent!" ”
"Loyalty and diligence in state affairs, the duty of a minister!" Wang Zhengzhi smiled. Heart, this will be the head of the book should be changed! It's time to get rid of Fu Shuxun, and it's my turn to take charge!
At this moment, the look on Fu Shuxun's face was very ugly, and he was even more pale.
Sure enough, Wei Zhaocheng on the side also followed the mending knife and said, "Your Majesty." According to the ministers, the power of the household department should be dedicated to the hands of one person, and the power of the household department should be collected to raise food and salary for His Majesty as soon as possible. ”
Wei Zhaocheng said, Zhou Yanru on the side squinted his eyes and took a closer look, and then looked at his nose, and his nose looked at his heart without words.
This time, the turmoil in the household department can be said to be rapid and weird, without warning, so that Zhou Yanru has been completed by the opponent's layout before he can react. He lost the ability to meddle.
So Zhou Yanru was silent.
The powerful Donglin Party members were silent, and the other cabinet ministers were almost here to be the background, so they naturally hung up on their own affairs.
For a while, Wei Zhao took a word and almost settled the situation.
Just when Wang Zhengzhi's heart burst with joy, Chongzhen flipped through the chapter and squinted at Fu Shuxun.
I saw Fu Shuxun come out and say: "Wang Zhengzhi, the household servant, is diligent in his work, and it is a great merit to play His Majesty's strategy of food and salary in Beijing." Weichen asked Your Majesty, add Wang Zhengzhi the title of secretary of the household department, and go out of Shanxi to supervise the salary! ”
"Rising and darkening?" These four words popped up in everyone's hearts, but instead, they shook their heads.
If such a means is not a thunderbolt that can withstand the situation, what is the effect of using it? Although he is the deputy of your household book, he is not a muddy knead.
Sure enough, Wang Zhengzhi raised his eyebrows, then smiled and said coldly: "Wang Shangshu asked for an official title for me, and his subordinates were overjoyed and frightened. But thinking about it, since it is an official to increase the title, it is to agree with and praise my Beijing's food and salary policy. It's just that I don't know, Wang is out of the Beijing Division, who does Wang Weng want to take on this Beijing camp strategy? ”
Wang Zhengzhi said this proudly, quite arrogantly.
For a moment, the palace fell into a tense silence.
Even though others were dissatisfied with Wang Zhengzhi's domineering, they had to admit in their hearts that Wang Zhengzhi's domineering at this time was confident, and it was even more justifiable.
Even when Chongzhen heard it, he also felt a little more recognized in his heart. If a person who dares to do anything loses the courage to draw his sword out of the sheath, how can he fight for his own rights and interests?
Wang Zhengzhi calmed the scene with a word, full of momentum, staring at Fu Shuxun, as if a storm was coming, and Fu Shuxun's flat boat was about to be covered.
"Hehehehe......" Suddenly, Fu Shuxun chuckled slightly, with a little bit of ease, with a little bit of courage to fight for life and death, and said with a smile: "This household department, I should be in charge, so that Your Majesty will not worry about the policy of food and salary in Beijing." His Majesty's Beijing Camp Grain and Salary Raising Strategy, Raising Color Silver for His Majesty, 600,000 taels. ”
After Fu Shuxun finished speaking, there was also a slight silence in the field.
Everyone felt that today's court was not as strange as usual. No matter how Chongzhen has been forced in the past fifteen years, he has never let the courtiers work so hard.
When did the duel in the court turn out to be like this?
But in any case, everyone present was shocked by Fu Shuxun's courage, determination, and bold fund-raising strategy.
Wang Zhengzhi, who was most shocked and felt a dangerous chill from his soul, almost subconsciously questioned: "Wang Shangshu! Although the policy of the Beijing camp is heavy, you want to embezzle the hundred officials of the Beijing Division? ”
Only in this way can Wang Zhengzhi think of where Fu Shuxun can move so much silver!
Hearing this, the cabinet assistants were all shocked, and their eyes stared at the past.
I saw that Fu Shuxun still replied freely:
"It doesn't cost the officers and soldiers of Henan."
"Don't move the needs of the Yellow River."
"I also protect the capital of April."
"It only takes ten days for Your Majesty and me to straighten out the household!" Fu Shuxun's last words were said repeatedly, and the audience was shocked.
Such a decisive momentum made Shoufu Zhou Yanru's brows jump sharply, and he said in a deep voice: "Fu Weng, you can't joke in front of you. Maybe think twice about it! ”
Fu Shuxun slowly bowed his head and bowed in front of the king: "The minister is willing to issue a military order!" ”
Wang Zhengzhi's face was pale, and he looked out of the sky blankly, as if thunder was coming.
"I ...... That's it! Chongzhen put down Fu Shuxun's recital, as if he was smiling but not smiling, and the meaning was very much.
