    Zhu Houzhao was a little depressed when he said this. As an emperor, these words are undoubtedly very unpromising. I have never heard that ministers fear the emperor as much as a tiger. At worst, the emperor and his ministers should be in harmony. In his Zhengde Dynasty, he was always careful about his words and actions.  He is not afraid of offending ministers, but he is also unwilling to offend ministers.

    The words "not afraid" and "unwilling" often reveal many secrets in the heart, such as jealousy, fear, and even the urge to break everything. Only he knows it.

    A good tiger cannot resist wolves, and an emperor cannot resist the talkative ministers. Zhu Houzhao has been on the throne for more than three years. Qin Kan clearly feels that this originally sunny and cheerful young man has shown signs of fatigue. In the past, he was fearless because of ignorance, but gradually he knew this name.  After seeing how powerful the civil servants were in the country that belonged to him, he finally had scruples and fears.

    Qin Kan looked at him deeply and said, "Your Majesty, let's grit our teeth and get through this. As long as we pass this, Your Majesty's life will be easier in the future."

    Zhu Houzhao forced himself to laugh a few times: "So what if I pass this test? The civil servants are still arrogant, but I am still cautious."

    Qin Kan said meaningfully: "That's not necessarily the case, your Majesty. From ancient times to the present, money can still solve many problems. If your majesty's inner treasury is full every year, you don't have to look at the faces of the ministers at all. Now the ministers are eager to use me  The reason why people are scratching their skin and cramping is because many people have clearly seen that the structure of the court will change in the future, and the offensive and defensive positions of the monarch and his ministers are about to change. The biggest reasons for these changes are one is power, and the other is money."

    Zhu Houzhao seemed to understand, but since he was less than twenty years old, he could only put on an expression that seemed to understand.

    Qin Kan really wanted to give him an example to make him understand how important money is. According to normal history, a few decades later, there was a strange emperor named Wanli in the Ming Dynasty. One year, Japan invaded North Korea, and the leader of North Korea sent people to the suzerain country.  At that time, Wanli had not been in court for more than 20 years. Because of North Korea's request for help, a court meeting was held for the first time to inquire about the government.  Of course the ministers did not agree, joking, saying it was a vassal state, but we were not familiar with each other at all. When it comes to war these days, soldiers, food and grass, ordnance, transportation, post-war pensions Which of them does not require money?  How could the national treasury afford such a huge expenditure?

    Wanli himself didn¡¯t expect that after more than 20 years of diving without a problem, everyone would not give him face. Wanli became angry and said a very unspeakable sentence. Isn¡¯t it just money?  The emperor is now so poor that he only has money left. I will pay for this military expenditure!

    Wanli's words are not words of anger. He is really rich. The reason why he is called a weirdo is because in addition to setting a record of not going to court for more than 40 years, this guy also has a very cute advantage. That  He just likes to save money. It is probably because Zhang Juzheng was too strong at that time. The emperor Wanli felt very insecure, so he developed a fanatical hobby for money and property. Therefore, the emperor did not act like an emperor, but like a wealthy man with a huge amount of money.  Boss, thanks to Zhang Juzheng¡¯s reforms, the palace treasury was extremely rich in those years.

    So Boss Wan patted his chest and said that military expenditures should be spent from internal funds. The ministers who opposed it suddenly lost their voices, so the vigorous war to resist Japan and aid Korea began. Facts have proved that Wanli's choice was right, and this battle finally ended  Japan was driven back to its homeland, and the Ming suzerainty also fully won the hearts and minds of the vassal people. For more than three hundred years, and even until the fall of the Qing Dynasty, Korea still stubbornly insisted on using the reign name of the last emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

    This incident is a very famous example of economic influence on politics in the history of the Ming Dynasty. Wanli had money in his hands, so he had the confidence to challenge the ministers. Even if the whole court was opposed, he could still go alone.  His strong stance will carry out his will to the end.

    This is what Qin Kan is currently doing.  Whether the emperor is rich or the treasury is rich, it is not a bad thing for the entire country.  It's a pity that Zhu Houzhao didn't understand what he meant, and it was really not convenient for Qin Kan to give examples of things that happened decades later.

    ***************************************************  *****************

    In the inner city of the capital, in the residence of Liang Chu, a great scholar.

    Liang Chu is not a bad person. Not only is he not bad, he even has an excellent reputation among scholars. Otherwise, when Liu Jian Xie Qian became an official, the imperial court appointed Liang Chu as a bachelor, and there was basically no objection from the court.  Anyone whose reputation is slightly stained will definitely not become a bachelor in such a smooth and trouble-free manner.

    But people like Liang Chu also have shortcomings. His shortcoming is his reputation. His reputation is too good. I wonder if he was given a good person card by a girl when he was young. But in his old age, he received countless good person cards.  , over time I felt that I was indeed a good person. As the saying goes, good and evil are not mutually exclusive. Since you are a good person, you must of course fight against bad people, such as bad people like Qin Kan.

     At this moment, there are several ministers sitting in the front hall of Liang Mansion.

    The leader has a white face and a long beard, and he looks quite wealthy. If he were not wearing official robes, he would look like a fat boss who is friendly and makes money.

    This naive fat man's surname is Cao and his given name is Yuan. He was a Jinshi in the 11th year of Chenghua. He was the head of the Progressive Ministry of Industry, the right deputy imperial censor and the governor of Gansu. When Liu Jin was in power, Cao Yuan had quick eyes and quick hands and hugged Liu Jin's thick thigh.  He was promoted to the right minister of the Ministry of War and was also in charge of the regiment camp. After Liu Jin executed him, Cao Yuan should have been unlucky. However, this man had great eyes and extraordinary courage. He immediately spent all his wealth to open up his joints and was the first to stand up and denounced the traitor several times.  The gist of the memorial is nothing more than how the powerful traitor brought harm to the country and the people and harmed the loyal, and how he endured humiliation and heavy burdens in Cao Ying. Fortunately, Liu Jin did not have a second uncle, otherwise I would not be ashamed or ashamed of his second uncle. In short, the content of the memorial is very obscene.  Very violent.

    I have to say that Cao Yuan was really quite smart. After he finished writing the memorial, the first thing he sent to was not the cabinet, but the Imperial College. The memorial, which was full of scolding the powerful and traitors, was filled with a deep concern for the country and the people.  The smell caused countless stupid students in the Imperial College to cheer loudly, and Cao Yuan's reputation among the scholars also skyrocketed. At this time, even if someone in the court wanted to make him an eunuch, there was no way to do it.

    So in this huge political storm, Cao Yuan unexpectedly survived. Not only was he not beheaded, but his official position was not changed, and he was as stable as a needle in the sea.

    The stupid students of the Imperial College didn't know the truth, but as a bachelor, Liang Chu certainly knew what Cao Yuan was. It was said that a person like Cao Yuan would never be able to enter the Liang Mansion. However, today Cao Yuan is still sitting in the front hall of the Liang Mansion.  As the saying goes, there are no permanent friends and enemies, only eternal interests.

    Because they all had the same enemy, in order to deal with this enemy, Liang Chu pinched his nose and resisted nausea and let Cao Yuan in.

    ps: Sorry, I overslept. I have been very lethargic recently, and my sleep is not stable. I am in a drowsy state at least half of the day, and the next one is probably around midnight.  .

    I have to ask for a monthly ticket again during the double period, I'm afraid you have a bad memory and forget it.  .  .  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
