It would be an exaggeration to say that the emperor was so angry that his corpse would cover a thousand miles, but this emperor loved to kill people when he was angry. This was the consensus of everyone in Great Ming!
The palace maids and eunuchs of Fengtian Palace were all trembling.
The ministers did not dare to say anything. They did not think or say anything. If they lowered their heads, the knife would definitely not fall.
As for Zhu Yunwen, he was quite frightened. After all, the previous Imperial Grandfather had always maintained a kind and amiable attitude. This time, the majesty he showed made him feel as if he had fallen into an ice cave. His whole body was cold.
? His tone was a little aggressive. He didn't maintain his dragon's might and scared them.
Hurry up and hide it
Zhu Yu had said that anger was too harmful to the body.
Zhu Yuanzhang saw the change in everyone's expression.
He lowered his voice and became much gentler before saying to Zhu Yunwen,"If I can fulfill my wish by praying to the heavens, then becoming an emperor will be easy.”
"When we were begging for food back then, we would have shouted for the heavens to give us some steamed buns to eat. That way, we wouldn't have to be so hungry that we would have to pull out flags to beat up the Mengyuan barbarians.”
"When I was the emperor, there was a flood in Henan Province. I just shouted,'Damn it, God,' and he stopped the flood?”
"When we're short of money, we can just shout out to the heavens, and he'll drop silver from the sky?”
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up with his hands behind his back and continued,"I've been the emperor for decades and I understand one thing. The emperor is a toil.”
After he finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yunwen from the corner of his eye, only to find that after he heard this, his expression was blank and confused.
"He doesn't understand us!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and shook his head secretly.
It seemed that in his eyes, being an emperor was a blessing. He could decide the life and death of others with a word. His majesty was very domineering!
But I didn't realize the responsibility of being an emperor
As he said this in his heart, Zhu Yu's figure appeared in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind and he recalled his usual words and actions.
A gratified smile appeared on his face."Only this kid can understand us."
......
"And you guys!"
Zhu Yuanzhang stopped sighing and looked at the ministers beside him, locking onto the target of his anger.
"As the officials of the Great Ming Dynasty and the two ministers, you can only see the temporary benefits brought by this alliance, but you can't see the hidden danger?"!”
The Minister of Personnel, Lu Ben, and the Minister of Revenue, Zhang Qi, were ashamed and angry. They said,"This subject is guilty!"
"I'm really short-sighted! Truly trash!"
"We are guilty!"
"What else can you say besides this?" Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened. He felt that he had raised a bunch of good-for-nothings. They couldn't even compare to his son's casual suggestion.
Seeing that the Emperor's expression was getting uglier and uglier, they felt that if they didn't express their stance, something big would happen.
Therefore, the few of them hurriedly bowed and said,
"Your Majesty, regarding this matter, I will definitely help Your Majesty think of a good solution when I return.”
"Humph!"
"I don't need you to think about it anymore. I already have a plan."”
As he said that, he threw the 'business tax law' that he had tidied up in front of them.
"You already have a method?"
Hearing this, everyone heaved a sigh of relief.
Anyone could write a guarantee, but it was not certain if they could not do it. After all, it was difficult for the Ministry of Revenue to lack money!
Then they looked up at Zhu Yuanzhang again.
After all, the old man had rejected all the suggestions just now. They wanted to see what method could catch the Emperor's eye.
Then, they respectfully took the memorial from the eunuch and began to read it.
"This is?"
When they saw the words inside, they were all scholars who were selected by the Ming Dynasty. Their comprehension ability was full marks, so they could see the truth at a glance.
"Business tax?"”
Their expressions changed drastically as they watched. As aristocrats, they were very resistant to increasing the business tax of merchants.
After all, being a businessman is a cheap profession
Qi Tai couldn't help but say,
His face turned green and white as he suddenly shouted,"Emperor, the method of raising the merchant tax is not allowed, absolutely not!”
"Merchants are all greedy. If they feel that the Imperial Court values them, they will definitely increase their demand from the Imperial Court!”
"This…"
"Emperor, who suggested this? His intentions are sinister, and his crimes should be punished! He deserves to be killed!"
He said,
Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark and cold. He stared at Qi Tai and slowly spat out a few words," You want to kill our son?!"
"What?"
"Son?" Qi Tai was stunned!
"Qi Tai, how dare you speak disrespectfully to my royal family's disciples? Men, take him out and give him fifty strokes of the cane!”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand in anger. The Brocade Guard outside the palace took a stance and dragged Qi Tai out.
Qi Tai shivered all over, his face full of grievance.
You didn't say that it was your son who suggested it. If you had said it earlier, would I not have thought about changing the words? This is a pit, this is a pit
Lu Ben, Liu Sanwu, and Zhang Qi were sweating profusely.
They had wanted to object just now, and they had wanted to say the same thing just now.
fortunately
Luckily, your Brother Qi Tai was more impatient than us and spoke up for us, saving us from being beaten.
Listening to Qi Tai's wails outside, the three of them looked at each other and unanimously decided to let go of the matter of being tied up by Qi Tai just now. They did not hate him anymore.
However, they still wanted to dissuade him from the business tax.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them, who seemed to want to say something but did not dare to. He was the first to speak,"I know what you want to say."
"I don't think it's safe."
As he spoke, he pointed to the back of the memorial and said,
"Didn't you see the detailed explanation of the solution? The pilot business tax, everything is within my control!”
After saying that, they were still frowning. Zhu Yuanzhang raised his eyebrows.”
"I'm telling you, the solution that Yun Wen proposed just now was also something that our son saw the drawbacks and rejected!”
"And you guys treat it like a treasure."
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them with disdain and said,
"Hmph, you can't see it, but our son can.”
"I think our son's suggestion this time is quite good!”
As he spoke, his tone became domineering.
"Moreover, I'm telling you that this matter is not for you to discuss, but for you to carry it out!”
"There's a place we've circled up there. Hurry up and do it!”
......
When Zhu Yunwen heard Zhu Yuanzhang mention the word 'son', he was very sensitive and his heart shook.
"Hmm?"
"Son. Make suggestions?"
"This is Imperial Grandfather's son again?”
.....
