One wave has not yet settled, and another wave has risen again.
Since the death of Emperor Chongzhen, the storm in the court has all come from the hands of the Duke of Qin who assisted the country in governing the country.
However, this time the court debate, the storm that recurred exceeded the expectations of the ministers.
Li Banghua, Minister of Works, Minister of Revenue, Liu Qiyuan, Minister of Revenue, Left Censor of the Censorate, Lai Zongdao, and Minister of War, Sun Chuanting, jointly submitted a report on the case of corruption in Deling Changling!
This memorial was like a bolt from the blue for civil officials in the court.
At this time when the military achievements were so powerful, the civil servants had difficulty supporting it, but now they were stabbed by their own boss in the back!
In this way, the court situation is also a hustle and bustle in an instant.
The military generals and nobles who were in the center of the storm used to be spectators, watching the dogs of civil servants bite the dogs.
Li Xiu was the same. In the name of assisting the country in governing the country, he was arrogant and confirmed that the knife cast by himself fell heavily on these civil officials.
There is no doubt that Li Xiu's purpose has been achieved completely.
This knife caused the civil officials who were originally under the oppression of martial honors to split up in an instant, and the corruption of up to 400,000 taels made everyone in danger, and they didn't even care about staring at Li Xiu's every move.
Li Xiu did not participate in this case too much, or in other words, the case file that was handed over to Li Banghua and others in Tianshou Mountain, and the list of dozens of people, had already limited the minimum scope of involvement.
I can’t wait to take over the matter and not get some results, how can I be considered an explanation?
Although there are only a few dozen people, these are only dozens of dynasty officials!
The gentry, wealthy merchants who depend on these dynasties and even the interests involved in all aspects are definitely not small.
If this knife falls, it will be destined to be bloody. Sun Chuanting and others who hold the knife are destined to be covered in blood.
In the future, it will not be so easy to sit on the Diaoyutai again!
Taking advantage of this rare chaos, Li Xiu was not idle either, and also accelerated the layout of the Ming army. It was so chaotic, but as the layout progressed, the money was spent like flowing water.
And the army has been known as gold-swalking beasts since ancient times.
In fact, the Ming Dynasty today has no ability to improve the situation where the Ming Dynasty gradually fell into the abyss.
In other words, since the decline of the Ming Dynasty during the Wanli period, it was not a person without knowledge or a minister in power without ambition. The reason why they could only repair and repair the broken ship of the Ming Dynasty, in front of the paper craftsman.
All because the Ming Dynasty has fallen into a vicious cycle!
The court has no money, so it can't do anything without money.
If you want to be rich, there are only two ways, that is, increase taxes on ordinary people, or attack gentry and wealthy merchants.
And attack the gentry...
It not only requires courage, but also capital.
However, the Ming Dynasty did not have this capital.
So, we can only increase taxes to the people.
In addition, the gradually coming natural disasters, corrupt administration, and a vicious cycle were formed.
Now that Li Xiu is in power, in fact, the Ming Dynasty today has no capital to support Li Xiu in doing these things.
Even just casting the Yongwei Camp almost exhausted the family fortune of the Tianqi Emperor's treasury.
Later, if it weren't for the many unexpected gains, if it weren't for the defeat of Nurhaci, and that time, he would have obtained the terrifying wealth of his plunder, even if the emperor was ambitious, even if Li Xiu was able to fight well, the Ming Dynasty would not be able to support the emergence of nearly 200,000 elite troops from the Beijing Army, Jizhen, and Xuanfu.
In this way, it is naturally impossible for the war between the south and north of the desert and the north of Liaodong to occur.
It is even more unlikely that he will reorganize the entire Ming army system now.
And now, although Wu Xun looks at the peak of his life, only Li Xiu knew that he had embarked on a path of no return!
The taxes of the Ming Dynasty had no capital to support his rectification and even reform of the entire Ming army, and even could not support the existence of nearly 200,000 elite troops inside and outside the capital.
Nowadays, the reason why he can develop his ambitions is because unexpected wealth can still support it.
But if he cannot hold a sustainable source of wealth in his hands before these unexpected wealth is exhausted...
That means that the situation will be completely out of control and he will be forced to go on a completely unknown path.
Of course, for Li Xiu now, in addition to the rectification of the military system, there is another thing that is also extremely important.
That is the enlightenment education of the emperor.
Although the emperor today is far from the time of enlightenment education.
However, if you want to shape a person's character, starting from childhood is undoubtedly the best choice.
Therefore, during this dispute between the government and the country, Li Xiu also entered the palace again.
And this will be a normal thing for a long time to come.
In fact, the education that the emperors of this period could receive was undoubtedly extremely limited.
What Li Xiu can do is extremely limited.
"Uncle Li, why are they all afraid of me?"
The young boy jumped in front of Li Xiu in his dragon robe, pointed at the group of respectful eunuchs, and said in confusion.
"Your Majesty, do you know what fear is?"
Li Xiu raised his eyebrows, a little curious.
"I know, mom... I'm afraid every time I'm unhappy..."
Hearing this, Li Xiu couldn't help but smile, squatted down slowly, and said, "Because, Your Majesty, you are the emperor, so they will be afraid of you. In the future, more and more people will be afraid of you."
"Then I don't want to be the emperor anymore. I'm afraid of me and no one can play with me!"
The emperor immediately got angry.
"This emperor is not something you can do if you want to do it wrong."
Li Xiu smiled, as if sighing: "You won't think so in the future."
The little emperor widened his eyes, but he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.
Li Xiu squatted down and stared at the young emperor in front of him.
"His Majesty……"
When the words came to my mouth, they came to an abrupt end.
Looking at the young emperor in front of him and the outline of Emperor Chongzhen clearly visible in his tender face, Li Xiu was also a little tranced.
"Uncle Li, why do you call me Your Majesty? I remember that my mother and father both called me Chun Ge'er. Uncle Li, why don't you call Chun Ge'er?"
The little emperor's eyes rolled and he couldn't help asking.
Hearing this, Li Xiu's eyes also had a rare touch of warmth flashing through him and said with a smile: "Brother Chun, you are the emperor, the king, and Uncle Li is the minister, so you must be called Your Majesty."
After saying that, Li Xiu raised his hand and hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he still pinched the little emperor's cheek.
"There is another point, Brother Chun, you have to remember that in the future, Brother Chun, you can't call yourself me. You are the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and you have to call yourself me!"
After saying that, Li Xiu picked a piece of the value casually, moved his arm lightly, and the branches passed by the ground. In the blink of an eye, a strong and powerful word "子" appeared on the ground.
"Today, Your Majesty will learn this word."
