"Damn it, His Majesty is in Santun camp. There is no way that the memorial we sent will be delivered."
In the capital, many officials gathered together and complained.
"All military management, non-disaster, non-rebellion, non-military, cannot be delivered to His Majesty's hands. We are of no use here."
Anyone who can be an official is not a fool.
Judging from His Majesty's policies and actions during this period, His Majesty is determined to cause trouble.
If it were in the past, everyone would still be able to block the palace entrance and force His Majesty to come out.
But now His Majesty is in Santun camp, hundreds of miles away from the capital. By the time it passed, the day lilies were all gone.
Moreover, if they really want to stop what His Majesty has decided, they might even be implicated.
The previous Donglin Party, which ignored the imperial power and was arrogant, has been defined as a rebel party, and we must still be afraid of them.
But it won’t work if you don’t change it.
Co-ruling with the emperor is the goal of all literati in the world.
There is no scholar who likes His Majesty and can decide life or death with just one word.
Your Majesty already controls most of the distribution channels of salt and grain in the Ming Dynasty.
If Your Majesty takes back the mines again, then 60% of the economic lifeline of the entire Ming Dynasty will be in His Majesty's hands.
Upper decision decided by the economic background.
Without a large amount of funds, they will be just high-end wage earners, and they will not be qualified to negotiate terms with His Majesty.
To put it bluntly, His Majesty's move is to break the foundation of the literati court.
Although tens or hundreds of years later, the wealthy people can form a new framework in the court in terms of educational relationships, and may even make the emperor cower in the palace again.
But under the current circumstances, who knows what kind of son your Majesty will produce by then.
"Your Majesty has an order. If the briber fails to report to the court within three months after paying the bribe, he will be fined, confiscate all his property, and be exiled to the army.
If you report it to the court within three months, you will not be punished.
Reporting bribers and bribe takers can be rewarded with one-tenth of the property of both parties. If..." Just when all the officials were worried, His Majesty's new decree was published in the newspaper again.
"I'm going, I can't bear it anymore. If His Majesty continues to act like this, what kind of officials will we be?"
Under Zhu Youjian's coercion, some officials soon couldn't stand it anymore.
Although before everyone became an official, they always asked for orders for the people in order to display their talents.
But that's just lip service.
Becoming a master and gaining more benefits is their true purpose.
But everyone wants to save face.
You can't ask for money openly.
Between each other, you understand and I understand.
But other people are not stupid, so why should they give you money? Is it because you are handsome?
"Bah. Not at all. That's because they take a fancy to the power in your hands, and they can earn back ten or a hundred times the bribe they give you.
Good fellow, now that His Majesty has received your decree, isn't this going to cut off everyone's financial resources?
How can we tolerate such a situation that affects officials' ability to achieve financial freedom?
If he tolerated it, wouldn't it encourage the emperor's arrogance and allow him to formulate more rules to restrain everyone?
Although everyone knows in their hearts that once the emperor and his courtiers were once emperor, the current emperor will burp. If you lose it, you can slowly get it back.
But the current emperor is too young. The body is also too rough.
And he's not the kind of lecherous fool.
In addition, the Taiyuan Hospital is firmly under His Majesty's control. It will take at least thirty or forty years for Your Majesty to belch?
