Gao Cai glanced at Zhu Yijun, and then suddenly asked urgently: "Zhu Yijun, are you going to give it to me or not? Give it to me!"
Gao Cai's addiction to Wuxiang was obviously very serious now. He grinned and didn't care about anything at all. He actually called Zhu Yijun by his first name.
"Da Dan! Dare to call His Majesty by his first name."
Zhang Jingxiu couldn't help but reprimanded him sharply.
Zhu Yijun waved his hand to stop Zhang Jingxiu, and continued to say to Gao Cai: "You continue to answer my words."
Because Zhu Yijun didn't feel angry at Gao Cai's offense, he even felt very relaxed.
He knew that the more Gao Cai lost his composure, the more severe the addiction caused by Wu Xiang became, making him more uncomfortable and feeling like he was being tortured.
At this moment, Gao Cai clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were spitting fire, and his mouth was pursed as if he was about to cry. As if he was really being tortured, he bit his cheek and said:
"yes!"
"reason!"
Zhu Yijun continued to ask.
"Although the new gift allows slaves to live with more dignity, it also allows others to live with more dignity!"
"Who wants the emperor to treat us as human beings? I just want to rely on the emperor to not treat everyone in the world as human beings in the future!"
Gao Cai gritted his teeth and replied.
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun ordered: "Suck it for him."
Gao Cai quickly looked at Zhang Jingxiu.
Zhang Jingxiu only slowed down a little, and Gao Cai rushed towards him, shouting: "Give it to me, give it to me, the emperor has issued an order, why don't you give it to me?!"
Zhang Jingxiu still gave it to Gao Cai, and also gave him the pipe.
Zhu Yijun also asked an eunuch to light his pipe for him.
Zhu Yijun then only glanced at Gao Cai, who was puffing up the clouds, and said, "Take him down."
"yes!"
As a result, Gao Cai, whose face was filled with joy and intoxication, was taken away.
Zhu Yijun himself was still sitting on the chair, with his hands on the armrests of the chair, looking outside with a stern face.
There are flowers and willows outside, and the rockeries piled in the clouds are sloping into the clear water composed of large and small transparent beads.
At this moment, the palace maid Cheng, who was waiting at the gate of the covered bridge connected to the rockery, caught his attention.
Of course it's not because of appearance.
But the brilliant answer made Zhu Yijun wonder whether this Cheng didn't care so much about whether he treated her as a human being, but cared more about whether he could rely on imperial power to treat others as less than human beings, and whether this would happen in the future. When you have the opportunity to control the imperial power and enslave the people of the world, do you also want to control yourself?
This made Zhu Yijun feel a little insecure.
He had the feeling that there were many people around him who were watching him and trying to control him.
Zhu Yijun realized even more strongly that in a society with strict hierarchy and highly centralized power, no one seemed to feel safe.
Although he is now the emperor of this society and the most powerful person, so powerful that he can destroy a country and kill an entire clan with one decree, but it is also because this power is too great that many people are jealous.
Zhu Yijun also knows that because of this, he cannot leave the palace at will to visit relatives and friends. He does not even have real relatives and friends. He cannot freely travel around the world like Xu Xiake, nor can he have a second career.
Zhengde and Jiajing did challenge second careers, but both were listed as stains on their imperial careers.
Zhu Yijun's implementation of new etiquette is actually for himself, to live more like a human being and feel more comfortable and comfortable.
…
Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Sun Bin was still criticizing the chapter that the Hong Emperor nodded.
He now had no control over the draft proposals sent by the Cabinet and the Privy Council.
Because if he has doubts about a certain vote, he needs to inform the emperor directly and let the emperor make his decision.
Otherwise, if he dares to change the draft without authorization, the cabinet and the Privy Council will complain to the emperor because the draft is not in line with his intentions.
And he cannot achieve the goal of voting in line with his own ideas by controlling the cabinet and the Privy Council, because neither the cabinet chief minister Shen Shixing nor the privy councilor Qi Jiguang will give him this face. If he dares to make private friends with foreign ministers, he will be severely punished. Severe punishment.
Therefore, Sun Bin criticized people very quickly, basically without even looking at them.
In Sun Bin's view, since there is no room for power manipulation, why should he carefully read every ticket?
It’s better to aim directly!
If such a policy goes wrong, the responsibility does not lie with him, but with the cabinet or the Privy Council. He can just say that he has always been stupid and only knows how to rely on the opinions of Yuan Fu or the Privy Council.
But Sun Bin saw a document about Cheng Xuancheng Bowei Guoben, the young man in charge of the Suzhou Weaving Bureau. It was revealed that Suzhou tycoon Wang Tingyi had bribed him on behalf of the Manila Francois to continue to purchase silk for smuggling, and he was voted out by the cabinet. After arresting Wang Tingyi's ticket to Beijing, he still frowned.
He knew very well that if the Weaving Bureau was still in charge of the eunuchs in the past, this matter would not have been reported. The eunuchs in charge of the Weaving Bureau would only rely on the emperor to be inseparable from the eunuchs, and would not pursue it too closely. Under such circumstances, I have the courage to accept the bribe.
But now, the weaving bureau has been ordered by the emperor to be taken over by the clan nobles. The emperor has also set up a Shaofu as an institution for the clan nobles and others to manage the emperor's internal affairs.
In order not to lose this power and not to be singled out by eunuchs and civil servants, the nobles and nobles of the clan who took over these things were very conscientious so that this kind of making a fortune could never happen again.
Therefore, Sun Bin frowned over such a trivial matter, showing displeasure, and looked in the direction of Zhu Yijun's bedroom.
He knew that all this stemmed from the fact that the current Emperor Wanli was too serious about governing the country and took the people of the country too seriously. He was unwilling to be a carefree emperor and only indulged in all kinds of fun, so he let the shrewd emperor give in. The eunuchs, relatives, clans, civil servants, military officers and even the people checked and balanced each other.
Sun Bin couldn't help but feel disappointed that Ambergris failed to make the emperor addicted, and he also began to think that maybe Gao Cai could try Wuxiang.
But what Sun Bin didn't know was that Gao Cai had already seized the opportunity to try to make Zhu Yijun addicted to Wuxiang, but as soon as he proposed it, he was discovered by Zhu Yijun, who had long been interested in opium.
"Old Ancestor, there is something wrong with this vote. The cabinet should not approve monthly subsidies for the royal relatives and noble officials who applied for the project. Their official titles have already brought their own salaries, and the projects they have applied for have already been allocated money. Why should they return it? We need a subsidy. Is this the reason for doing the project?"
"Besides, there won't be any bonuses after you finish it!"
"Although the internal funds are abundant now, and the emperor is not a monarch who only values wealth, he can't waste the internal funds like this, right?"
Huang Xun, eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, was assisting Sun Bin in approving the red ticket draft, and brought a copy of the ticket draft to Sun Bin.
Sun Bin chuckled without even looking: "Eunuch Huang, Yuan Fu is the master of the emperor, you know that, right?"
Huang Xun said: "Of course I know."
"Now that you know, why do you ask so many questions? How can you understand the emperor better and be more loyal to the emperor than Yuan Fu?"
Sun Bin asked and said, "I will approve it according to the votes."
Huang Xun had no choice but to say yes.
As soon as Sun Bin finished speaking, a group of Jinyi guards, led by Zhang Maoxiu, came to the Supervisor of Ceremonies.
Sun Bin and Huang Xun were stunned when they saw this.
"There is a decree to arrest and imprison Sun Bin, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony."
Zhang Maoxiu said something.
Sun Bin fell to the ground with a bang, and then asked Zhang Maoxiu: "Third Master, what happened to our family?"
Zhang Maoxiu watched the Jinyi guards take Sun Bin into custody and replied: "My father-in-law has the opportunity to ask your Majesty, we are just following orders."
"Slave, I'm sorry to the emperor!"
After Sun Bin actually saw Zhu Yijun, he didn't ask any questions and just said he was sorry to Zhu Yijun.
Because he knew that Zhu Yijun could not order his arrest for no reason.
Zhu Yijun looked at Sun Bin and said, "Sun Bin, do you want to force me to abolish the Supervisor of Ceremonies?"
"I asked you to be the Chief of Ceremony, not to control me, but to keep an eye on foreign affairs for me."
Zhu Yijun continued to speak, then stood up and looked at Sun Bin, and said firmly: "If even an eunuch like you has the desire to covet the imperial power because of his too much power, then why do I keep the clerk? Supervisor, it’s better to let the Chief of Staff take away your right to criticize people!”
Zhu Yijun's current Shiyu Department is similar to the Military Aircraft Department, but it is not exactly the Military Aircraft Department, because when the emperor was not in the Shiyu Department, Pihong was still in charge of the Ceremony Supervisor.
After Zhu Yijun said this, Huang Xun, who was on duty in front of the emperor, felt as if there was thunder in his ears and hurriedly looked at Sun Bin.
Sun Bin himself was like a thunderbolt, and he hurriedly kowtowed to the ground: "Your Majesty, please be angry! This is just the expansion of personal ambition of this servant, and it is not the fault of the other officials of the Supervisor of Ceremonies! Your Majesty asked Pian Hong to return to the Imperial Palace. Is it possible that the Imperial Palace is the fault of the Imperial Palace?" Aren’t there people with arrogant ambitions among foreign ministers?”
