Her son had already become the emperor of a generation, so his thoughts were naturally better than hers.
Instead of killing, he chose to be imprisoned for life.
This was even more painful than killing him.
However, that person had a strong personality. Would he be threatened like this?
Sun Ruowei nodded and said,"Since you have already made up your mind, then mother will not disturb you."”
"Mother is not staying in my palace tonight?”
"This is against the rules."
Sun Ruowei left Yangxin Palace Hall and returned to Cining Palace.
The next day, Zhu Qi held morning court, and the officials knelt down.
Zhu Qizhen glanced at the officials and asked in puzzlement,""Why aren't the three Yang's of the cabinet here?”
Yu Qian stood up and said,"Your Majesty, Grand Secretary Yang and the others are seriously ill and bedridden.”
"That serious? Then you have to send someone to sympathize with them and tell them that I allow them to retire and return to their hometown to hug their grandchildren.”
Yu Qian said,"I will send someone to pass on the message."”
Yang Shiqi and the others had been in the court for so many years and knew how to judge the situation.
Now that Zhu Qizhen had promoted so many ministers in the court, it was obvious that he was planning to use this as a means to check and balance these old ministers.
If they continued to stay in the court, wouldn't they be suppressed by them?
Every day, the emperor will have a courtier.
Taking advantage of their old age, it was better to retire and return home as soon as possible. Fighting would instead ruin their bodies.
They were all four generations of old ministers, the Emperor would not easily make things difficult for them.
As expected, not long after he reported his illness, Yu Qian sent someone to sympathize with him and told him that he could retire and return home.
Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong, and Yang Pu were relieved.
It felt so good to no longer be restricted by the Emperor.
In the royal court, the old and new officials were still at loggerheads over the factional disputes.
Those old officials had to admire San Yang's cunning.
He didn't come to the morning court to avoid the fight between his followers, right?
In this kind of battle, if he was not careful, he might get himself killed.
The old ministers were in a state of leaderless, and the new cabinet ministers promoted by Zhu Qizhen had the advantage.
Previously, the Emperor had promoted a Minister of Revenue from somewhere and immediately began to implement a new policy.
Now that the Emperor had promoted another Minister of Works, it just so happened that the two positions of the heads of the six departments had been filled.
These two ministers had just taken office and were promoted to the cabinet by Zhu Qizhen. It was inevitable that they would be criticized.
It was not strange for an emperor to promote officials, but these two officials did not have any political achievements, so how could they convince the public?
Zhu Qizhen glanced at the officials. They seemed to be very dissatisfied with his decision to appoint talents.
Then he would have to give these old ministers a good slap in the face.
Zhu Qizhen smiled and said to Zhang Juzheng, who was at the bottom of the stairs,"Zhang Juzheng, last night at Yangxin Palace Hall, you proposed to me a plan to establish a financial institution. You are fully responsible for this matter. Originally, this matter should be handed over to the Ministry of Revenue to handle, but Minister Wang is currently implementing a new policy and can't take the time to deal with this matter.”
Zhang Juzheng was confused.
What financial institution plan?
He had never mentioned it before.
What was the Emperor's intention?
Although he wasn't too sure, who cares? He had to get the job done first.
Zhang Juzheng hurriedly knelt on the ground and said,"I accept the decree to thank you."
The old officials in the court were all flabbergasted, their old faces blushing.
At this moment, none of them dared to look Zhu Qizhen in the eye.
As an old minister of Great Ming, he had always been mediocre and had never made any outstanding contributions to Great Ming.
They only wanted to muddle through the days in the imperial court, and the current emperor was not an ordinary person. Naturally, he placed more importance on talents and cultivated them.
Now, the 9-year-old Tian Zi was introducing a new policy and establishing a financial institution. Was he planning to change the world?
Zhu Qizhen was too lazy to deal with those fatuous old ministers and turned his gaze to Wang Anshi.
"Wang Anshi, tell me about the new policies on your side?”
Wang Anshi stepped forward and replied,"Your Majesty, the new policies have been issued to all provinces and prefectures, and the land under heaven has begun to be measured." The people everywhere were very supportive of this new policy. The taxes were reduced, and the farmers were more active in farming. Next autumn would be another year of bumper harvests.”
"Have the results of the land survey been calculated?”
"It's still in the statistics for the time being. I'm worried that the local officials will lie and conceal it, so I sent someone to do an undercover investigation.”
"Well done. What about the irrigation works?"
"All the places are building irrigation works. There are no officials forcing the people to build them. The people and the local government soldiers are actively building them.”
Hearing this, Zhu Qizhen said excitedly,""What a good example. The implementation of the new policies was good, it was Da Ming's good fortune. Dear ministers, if you can work for the welfare of the people, the people will repay the officials. I still remember what Wei Zheng once said to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty: Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. Love the people like children, and the world will prosper."
After hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the ministers immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and kowtowed.
"We will remember."
"We will remember."
"We will remember."
……
The new policies had been implemented for more than half a year. The crops were plentiful everywhere, and the people lived and worked in peace.
Ever since Zhu Qizhen succeeded to the throne, the Ming Dynasty had become rich and prosperous.
Zhang Juzheng followed Zhu Qizhen's instructions and went to the newly established bank in the Imperial City.
Zhu Qizhen had given him an order to establish a perfect financial system.
To put it bluntly, it was to establish an organization that could communicate between the national and local finances.
The money house had just been established in the Imperial City, and all of Shuntian Prefecture's silver had been transferred to this institution.
If such an organization was established in the future, the national treasury would be abolished.
As the country's financial situation became more transparent, the people were more willing to pay taxes and increase the country's financial income.
Moreover, it could also greatly restrict the exploitation of the peasants by many landlords and aristocrats.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but shake his head and sigh."Although the emperor is a 9-year-old child, he is a great talent in governing the country. It is rare to see one in a thousand years!”
