Chapter 581 The state-owned sage, let us officials not be used as guns!

In the early summer of the 18th year of Wanli, before noon, the scorching sun made the hall extremely hot.

In addition, many ministers began to propose a change of coach because of the drop in subscription tickets.

Zhu Yijun became more and more upset.

And he just couldn't express his opinion directly now.

Because besides not being too suppressed in discussing the country's political affairs, Zhu Yijun is also worried that Chen Lin may really betray him, and now the person who proposes to change the coach may be really based on the country's loyalty and concern for the country's interests. , It is only because caring makes chaos that this kind of not-so-wise remonstrance is put forward.

On the contrary, the officials who still support Chen Lin at this time may have evil intentions, hoping that the Ming Dynasty will conquer Luzon and be defeated.

In short, although Zhu Yijun has eyeliners such as Dongchang and Jinyiwei, he may not fully know what the ministers in front of him think.

"Retreat!"

However, Zhu Yijun is still more willing to believe that no matter how suspicious Chen Lin is, he will not really want to let himself and the entire Chen clan have no foothold in the mainland for economic benefits. With strong strength, he dared to go out, even at the expense of directly abandoning the king and the country.

Therefore, at this time, Zhu Yijun only directly announced his withdrawal from the court.

He doesn't express his attitude directly.

……

"Why didn't your majesty respond? Do you have to watch the subscription tickets plummet?"

"Even if you can't change the coach now, but if you want to discuss the new coach and conquer Luzon again, it will be able to reassure the hearts of the world, right?"

"According to the current situation of the sharp drop, if it continues, many wealthy households hoarding subscription coupons at high prices will go bankrupt, and the world will be in turmoil!"

Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Xiong Yuan, the censor of Guangxi Dao, and others all came to the Metropolitan Procuratorate after the dispersal of the dynasty, and there was a lot of discussion.

At this time, Chen Yubi, the censor of the left deputy capital, persuaded everyone:

"Your Majesty's failure to respond is already a response!"

"What's the meaning of this statement?"

Shao Bi, the imperial censor of Zuoqian capital, asked at this time.

Xiong Yuan and other censors also looked over.

Chen Yubi said: "If you don't express your position, it means that you will maintain the status quo by default. Once you are really defeated in the future, the emperor will be responsible. If you express your position now and even ask the Privy Council to discuss a new coach, it's okay if you really lose. If you don't lose, then Where will the prestige of the emperor be placed?"

Chen Yubi said again: "So at this time, forcing the emperor to express his position or even hoping that the emperor will express his position is either ignorant of people's hearts or harboring evil intentions. He wants to damage the holy prestige and make the ministers disagree, especially the ministers who lead soldiers. They are not so sage, and they are easy to be influenced by public opinion. When we are officials, especially speech officials, we must be cautious, the more power we have to speak, the more we must prevent being used as a gun."

When Chen Yubi said that, the censors all shut up, their faces embarrassed.

"From this point of view, His Majesty is right to do so. We shouldn't complain about it. There are truly state-owned sages, but few are good ministers."

At this time, you could not help but say something with shame on your face, and then handed over to Chen Yubi: "Fortunately, the deputy constitution reminded me, so that I don't get confused!"

Chen Yubi bowed his hands back and said, "In any case, I still hope that this battle of Luzon can be won, so that I really have nothing to worry about."

……

"As long as Luzon can be won, there is no need to worry about the sharp drop in subscription tickets."

"So, I think the key is not whether to change the coach, but not to shake the determination to win Luzon."

"Your Majesty, at this time, it is a wise move to respond to all changes without change, but you can't just say nothing!"

"In the opinion of the foolish minister, it is still necessary to make preparations for the second conquest immediately after the first conquest of Luzon is unsuccessful. The imperial court needs to obtain Luzon in order to stabilize the reform achievements since His Majesty's accession to the throne. It is just that we must do a good job now. Prepare to recover Luzon at a greater price."

Worried that Chen Lin's profit will make his mind faint, and the wealthy coastal families may hinder him, so the people who make the battle for Luzon unsatisfactory are not just the officials and the people of the world.

In the Shiyusi Zhengshitang, Yin Zhengmao, Minister of the Ministry of War, was also a little worried about this, and hoped that the emperor would make preparations for the second attack on Luzon, select a new commander in advance, and prepare new warships and troops.

Daming now has the national strength, that is, after a big war is over, there will be another big war.

But the price of a big war is very high after all, so no matter how powerful the national power is, it cannot be so casually tossed about.

Therefore, what Zhu Yijun thinks is that if the conquest of Luzon can be done twice, then the second time will be more difficult. At least the morale will be different. Objection His voice will be louder, and his prestige as the emperor will be greatly damaged.

"Let's discuss this matter!"

But Zhu Yijun did not categorically reject Yin Zhengmao's proposal.

Because if he really needs to conquer Luzon again, he will continue to conquer Luzon, and naturally there is no need to block the way to continue to conquer Luzon.

Yin Zhengmao bowed his hands and said yes.

People all over the world are indeed more and more convinced that the conquest of Luzon will not be successful because more and more posts about Chen Lin's scandals appear. Furthermore, it implied that Ming Dynasty must be defeated.

Therefore, the trading price of subscription tickets has indeed continued to plummet.

Although the Ministry of Household Affairs has repeatedly raised the tax rate on official certificates for trading subscription coupons, it still cannot stop many large households from selling the subscription coupons they bought at high prices.

On the contrary, ordinary people who have subscription coupons don't sell them very much, mainly because they don't have so much cash and can't afford such a high certificate tax.

"Sell it quickly! Stop the loss in time, don't suffer a big loss to your property at that time, and then you will be sorry to your ancestors."

Juren Yan Shu persuaded Yang Zhi, a friend of a wealthy family, to sell the subscription coupons in the capital.

Yang Zhi asked: "This time the battle of Luzon is really going to be defeated, and the subscription coupons based on the development of external profits are really going to be as cheap as paper?"

Yan Shu smiled and said, "What do you think? At this time, even if he is undefeated, someone will find a way to make him lose!"

"Too!"

"Although it is definitely not suitable to sell for the stability of the country at this time, you must not be unfilial!"

As soon as Yang Zhi said that, he really went home and asked people to take the subscription coupons to the household department for sale.

"Is it still falling?"

On this day, Zhu Yijun asked Tian Yi

Tian Yi replied: "It's still falling, and many wealthy households panicked and began to spread rumors. It has even been rumored that the army led by Uncle Weng Yuan has been wiped out. It's just that the Privy Council deliberately suppressed this news to keep the world from knowing. , so as not to cause more trouble."

"absurd!"

"Aren't they all brainless? Even if the entire army is wiped out after leaving the port, the news won't come back so quickly! How much time has passed?"

Zhu Yijun said angrily.

Tian Yi hurriedly persuaded: "The emperor calm down, the people of the world are like this, they often listen to the wind and rain, especially the frustrated people are more fond of gloating, prefer to spread bad rumors and are unwilling to believe good facts, so argue with him Explanations are useless, only time will tell."

"You're right."

"But we have to beware of those who fish in troubled waters and make trouble."

Just as Zhu Yijun was talking, Zhang Jingxiu entered the palace at this time: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guardian stationed in East Penghu, the 30 shi military rations temporarily stored in Penghu suddenly caught fire and burned out. Penghu officials did not dare to report to Fuyuan. Jin Yiwei's eyeliner immediately reported the matter."

"The 30 shi army ration suddenly caught fire?"

Zhu Yijun asked in astonishment, then threw the Zhang Zou in his hand to the ground, and shouted: "What are they going to do, are they trying to deliberately create panic, or are they really trying to defeat Luzon for the first time, and then directly lose their strength for the second time?" Ask?!"

"Your Majesty calm down! The dragon body is the most important thing!"

Zhang Jingxiu hurriedly replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun regained his composure at this time, and said: "There is no need to wait, the decree is sent to the Privy Council, and it will be delivered eight hundred miles away so that Qi Jimei, the general soldier of Guangxi, will lead [-] soldiers of his troops to Shaozhou in advance, and first protect the Chen family. Surrounded in the name, all supplies will be provided by the government!"

"Yes!"

……

Penghu.

The gentry Shen Ruliang looked at the ashes-strewn Penghu granary, and smiled at Li Fei, a rich Penghu businessman: "Now, if Weng Yuanbo really loses the first game, I'm afraid I won't be able to turn defeat into victory again. There is no food for 30 shi Now, it won’t be possible to transfer so much military rations in a year or two.”

Li Fei said with a smile: "Yes, besides, the subscription coupons will continue to fall sharply, and I am afraid that we will never be able to have the national power to challenge Luzon again!"
