Chapter 185
This meal, the ministers ate very happy!
One is drunk, the other is hungry.
Thirdly, it is the meal in the palace, it is really delicious!
But that's not the point!
The point is that they suddenly found that His Majesty the Emperor of this evening was surprisingly gentle!
Not only did he always beckon them to eat, but he also always said something very warm!
I don't know if it's wine to warm the heart, or the emperor's words to warm the heart, in short, it's very heartwarming!
In this kind of warm and drunken situation, people are prone to getting on their heads.
At this top, I want another bowl of wine!
However, this time, His Majesty the Emperor did not let them drink it!
"Dear Aiqing, the reason why Xu let you drink before dinner is just to make you less restrained and relaxed.
This drinking is jolly, but you can't be greedy! Lo and behold, he didn't drink anymore. "
Zhu Youxiao said and made a face, signaling the palace people to remove all the wine from the table.
It's okay to drink, but just drink a little drunk.
If you get too drunk, it will be difficult to discuss when you talk about business later!
The wine was removed, and those who wanted another bowl of wine could only eat honestly.
After a fierce meal, everyone was full.
This is the first time they have eaten so much in the palace!
Moreover, he still eats at the same table with the emperor in front of His Majesty the Emperor!
Such an honor, what a rare award!
Just when everyone was full of wine and food, they were drowsy.
What the emperor boss said next was that they couldn't wait to spit out all the delicacies they had just eaten!
"Have you all eaten your fill? I'm full! Since we are all full, let's talk about business!
I originally wanted to hold a "110" meeting tomorrow to discuss this matter, but after thinking about it,
There are some things that only need to be known to everyone here and then give orders to subordinates.
After all, everyone here is the most powerful person in my Ming Dynasty, right? "
Zhu Youxiao's question is obviously digging a pit and jumping for this group of old foxes who are well fed and drunk.
He just wants to try to see how clear these people's brains are now!
It turns out that people who drink more and eat more do not have much clarity in their brains.
But sober people, to be precise, "quick to react" people, are different!
As soon as they listened, they heard the danger in the emperor's words!
At this moment, the wine is scared to wake up!
The emperor actually said that they were the most powerful people in the Ming Dynasty, this is not an obvious test for them!
You know, in the entire Ming Dynasty, the person with the most power can only have one forever!
That's the emperor!
The royal family is testing their minds!
Shoufu Gu Bingqian was the first to stand up and replied with trepidation.
"Your Majesty! Lead the shore of the land, it is not Wang Chen!
The reason why the ministers and others can have today's position can become Your Majesty's right hand!
All this depends on your promotion and attention, Your Majesty! If it weren't for your cultivation, Your Majesty, how would you be where you are today!
Your Majesty! The courtiers are grateful for your holy grace! It is bound to bow down and serve His Majesty and the Ming Dynasty! "
Gu Bingqian is worthy of being an old fox, and he is also worthy of being the backbone of the gelding party!
Even if he is more than seventy years old, even if he drinks alcohol, he is still a batch of six!
Zhu Youxiao doesn't like to listen to, but Gu Bingqian's, he really likes it.
"Why is Elder Gu Ge so nervous, sit down quickly, Xu just said it casually, let's see how scared you."
Zhu Youxiao said and raised his hand to signal Gu Bingqian to sit down.
After Gu Bingqian wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, he sat down with a nervous smile.
At this time, Gu Bingqian's heart only had two words, that is: good risk!
Good risk! Fortunately, he is not bad at drinking, plus he has been forcibly forcing his brain to clear his head!
Otherwise, you will almost miss this opportunity to shoot the emperor's boss!
Recalling the emperor's boss's previous "abnormal" behavior, Gu Bingqian almost guessed it.
The emperor will definitely do something again this time!
Since Gu Bingqian was the first assistant, the seat he sat on was next to Emperor Zhu Youxiao.
The two are not very close, at least not so far.
So Gu Bingqian has long known that the two bowls of wine drank by the emperor's boss were not wine at all, but boiled water...
Don't ask him why he knows, because he's not deaf in his nose.
If he couldn't smell it from this close, his nose would be finished!
Since the chair is oval-shaped, there is one on the left and right sides of Zhu Youxiao.
On the right is Gu Bingqian, and the person on his left is another Pavilion Elder.
This person was only promoted to the cabinet three years ago, and he is also an old acquaintance.
This person is, warm body ren.
Now Wen Tiren is not only a cabinet elder, but also a secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture.
His limelight can be said to have almost overshadowed Shoufu Gu Bingqian.
As for Gu Bingqian's old partner Wei Guangwei, he has been squeezed out by Wen Tiren, an old yin.
At present, only Gu Bingqian and Wen Tiren are left in the cabinet.
The open and secret struggle between the cabinets, Emperor Zhu Youxiao has always been very clear.
He knew better that what Wen Tiren would do next was to squeeze Gu Bingqian away!
The intrigue between these old things, Zhu Youxiao knew, but he didn't think so.
If necessary, he may give it another boost.
As for who to push, it depends on their performance!
Combined with Gu Bingqian's ability to speak properly, Zhu Youxiao knew that Gu Bingqian and Wen Tiren should already know about his use of water instead of wine.
Zhu Youxiao didn't panic, what he wanted was to let these two know!
The reason why he arranged his seat so close to the seats of these two pavilion elders was to let them know that he was filling himself with water!
The reason why Zhu Youxiao did this is to tell Gu Bingqian and Wen Tiren that he, the emperor, wants to do things tonight!
As for the choice of these two pavilion elders, it depends on whether they want to stand on the emperor's side or stand on the opposite side of the emperor!
Obviously, now Gu Bingqian is on the emperor's side.
And Wen Tiren, for the time being, has not expressed his position.
Zhu Youxiao began to talk about business,
"As we all know, in many places in the Ming Dynasty, we have begun to popularize two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheeled vehicles, and other new inventions.
And these new inventions were all developed and manufactured by the Ministry of Engineering, and then sold by the imperial court, and the silver taels earned were also filled into the state treasury.
This move has filled the national treasury a lot in recent years, and Hubu has finally stopped shouting poverty every day, which is very comforting! "
Hearing that Hube Shangshu Fang Congzhe here, he wiped his sweat in embarrassment...
Zhu Youxiao's words continued,
"Now that the imperial court has such a large amount of income, the national treasury is becoming more and more abundant.
I am very happy, you are also very happy, and the people of my Ming Dynasty are very happy!
However! Recently, I heard that there are many private merchants in the private sector, privately imitating the two-wheeled vehicles, three-wheelers and other things designed and developed by our Ministry of Engineering!
These items that they privately imitate not only vary in quality, but also in price!
There are many people who do not know the truth and after spending money to buy it back, they see that the quality is not good, and they think that these garbage goods were made by our imperial court!
This move not only seriously affected the income of our imperial court, but also greatly ruined the reputation of my Daming Dynasty Ministry of Engineering!
Now my Ming Dynasty is the time to use money everywhere! Railways are still being built, trains are still being built!
Next, several oil fields are also about to be exploited! At that time, the transportation of the extracted oil will cost a lot of money!
Like building roads and cars, exploiting oil to drive the local economy, these are good policies for the benefit of the country and the people!
However, these good policies that benefit the country and the people will face the danger of being shut down at any time!
Although the current treasury of my Ming Dynasty is abundant, if I indulge these moths to suck the blood of the imperial court, the treasury will one day be unable to support it!
I ask you! These seriously affect the income of the imperial court for their own benefit! Seriously hinder the development of policies that benefit the country and the people!
And a businessman who seriously discredits the Ministry of Work! What should I do with it? "
As one question after another was thrown, almost all the ministers present woke up!
The emperor's "serious" one after another is like a slap in the face!
"Snappy"! (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) ）
Fan them in the face vigorously!
Fanned them, they also woke up with wine, and their hearts panicked!
You know, like privately producing two-wheelers, three-wheelers, and selling them, most of them do it in private! !
After all, over the years, these new gadgets newly developed by the Ministry of Engineering are too easy to sell and too profitable!
Who doesn't want to take advantage of this to make a wave!
Don't talk about others, even the boss of the Ministry of Work, Shangshu "Sun Yuanhua" of the Ministry of Work, is privately engaged in small workshop production ...
Logically, this shouldn't be a big deal.
After all, this matter has been going on for a year or two.
In the past two years, nothing has happened!
Everyone also earns their own money and secretly makes a fortune!
But who would have thought that today's matter was actually pulled to the table by His Majesty the Emperor!
All the ministers did not understand, why did His Majesty the Emperor talk about this so decently?
Combined with what His Majesty the Emperor just said, he only learned about this "recently"...
I just recently found out!
Could it be said that someone secretly went to His Majesty the Emperor to file a complaint?
Damn it! Which pink eye with a thousand cuts!!
In fact, no one went to sue Emperor Zhu Youxiao at all0...
In fact, Zhu Youxiao has long known that these people have begun to secretly earn this money a year or two ago!
It's just that at that time, it can't happen, after all, big fish have to put a long line to catch it!
After Zhu Youxiao's question was thrown, the atmosphere present was a little awkward.
The most embarrassing thing is that Shangshu Sun Yuanhua of the Ministry of Works ...
As a Shangshu of the Ministry of Work, as the Ministry of Works has become more and more valued by the emperor, he has been a mixed wind in recent years!
As soon as this person rises, it is easy to float.
Sun Yuanhua is floating!
He took advantage of the convenience of being a Shangshu of the Ministry of Work, and he could say that he had done a lot of "convenience" for his family, as well as his wife and relatives.
His brother-in-law's bicycle factory just opened a new place last month, ready to expand and mass production...
Unexpectedly, at this critical time, His Majesty the Emperor actually raised this matter out...
It's not his old life!!
"How? Do you think that those businessmen who seriously affect the income of the imperial court, seriously hinder the development of policies that benefit the country and the people, and seriously tarnish the reputation of the Ministry of Works are not guilty? "
Zhu Youxiao asked lightly.
At this time, the young emperor's face was neither joyful nor angry, and there was no expression.
But precisely because there was no expression, this made the ministers panic even more!
Because according to the past practice, once His Majesty the Emperor starts like this, it means that someone is going to be unlucky!
And this "bad luck" is not ordinary bad luck, but bad luck ah!!
At this moment, everyone did not dare to pretend to be dumb anymore!
Don't care about anything else, first stabilize the mood of the emperor boss!
"Your Majesty! These businessmen who do not know the height of the sky are naturally guilty! And a mortal sin! But...... But sin does not lead to death, and the minister thinks that it is good to punish him! "
It was still Shoufu Gu Bingqian who spoke, there was no way, who let him be the first assistant of the hundred officials.
And the biggest reason why he said "sin does not lead to death" is that he is also privately reselling second-hand bicycles...
But fortunately, he just resold and did not participate in the production!
Come to think of it, it shouldn't be punished on his head!
But to be on the safe side, he still had to say two words for this group of charsiu subordinates.
Save this group of people when the dog jumps up the wall and pulls him into the water together!
Looking at Gu Bingqian, who was "fighting alone", Zhu Youxiao narrowed his eyes.
Immediately, he looked at the others: "Why don't you speak, you are all dumb?" "
Being asked like this, the big guy had to bite the bullet and stand up one after another to express his opinions.
"The minister thinks that what Gu Ge said is reasonable, it is indeed punished, but the crime does not lead to death..."
"Chen also feels that Elder Gu Ge is right..."
"The minister also agrees..."
“......"
For a while, the voice almost all agreed with Gu Bingqian.
After all, the big guys are not very clean in private!
But in this pile of peace, one person jumped out and sang the opposite!
This person is another pavilion elder who loves to make trouble: Wen Tiren!
Wen Tiren has no special hobbies in this 3.4, he likes the whole person!
Look who is upset, he wants to fix whom!
The key is that he is a clean official, not greedy for money and lustful, and his family lives on that little bit of money.
It can be said that he is barefoot and is not afraid to wear shoes!
Over the years, he has been honest and kind to people, but in fact, he has stabbed any knife in private!
Now, it was his turn to stab Gu Bingqian!
"Your Majesty! As you said, these mercenary merchants not only seriously affected the income of the imperial court!
It also seriously discredited the Ministry of Work, and seriously hindered the development of policies that benefit the country and the people!
With such three major culpabilities, it would be too hasty to easily cover the coffin and convict them!
The minister thought that such a major matter must not be so easily convicted!
It should be carefully reviewed and then punished according to the amount and specific circumstances involved!
Those who profit a lot, the situation is heavy, and those who are widely implicated should be severely punished! If the profit is small and the situation is minor, a small penalty is enough! "
This method of Wen Tiren sounds quite humane.
It sounds fair to impose penalties based on the size of the amount and the severity of the situation.
However, his idea, in the eyes of other ministers, is tantamount to the word "capital crime"!
You know, these people present are all in high positions!
How can the money earned in private be less!
It is no exaggeration to say that they can be "beheaded" by pulling out one of them at random, and the money they earn is the extent that they can be "beheaded"!
The hearts of everyone cried out for a long time!
If they could, they really wanted to rush up and beat Wen Tiren, the birdman, to death!
Seeing that everyone's emotions were getting more and more tense, Zhu Youxiao knew that it was time!
He, the emperor, it's time to come out and make things with thin mud! .
