Although Liu Jin was notorious, he was also a very capable person. Otherwise, he would not be able to dominate the government and the people. In fact, the "finishment of rice" produced by Eunuch Liu was a big move to deal with deficits. After Liu Jin was executed, this move was still preserved and became an important weapon for the Ming Dynasty to deal with deficits.
The method of "finishing rice" is to pay attention to your reasons, Taicang, the treasury and other government treasury will be handed over to you for management. If you leave office, there is a huge deficit than before you take office, then I will punish you to pay for it out of your own pocket to fill the deficit. Those who retire (that is, retirement) can be halved, but the investigation will be pursued to the end.
In other words, even if you retire, as long as you live, it is important to investigate the big matters of inventory deficits. In fact, from ancient times to the present, the ministers in charge of the treasury are mostly corrupt. Some people will almost empty a warehouse after serving as a treasury. Because officials protect each other, such things are often left unresolved in the end, and the country will lose in vain anyway.
Liu Jin's method is simple and crude - I don't care what your reasons are, and I don't want to listen. Anyway, if there is a deficit in the warehouse under your control, you have to pay out of your own pocket to fill the deficit. Of course, if you bite your colleagues, you can also pay less...
In this way, the relevant officials in charge of the warehouse rarely dared to reach out under Liu Jin's high-pressure policy. Otherwise, they would definitely be punished to lose all their money. It is said that Han Wen, who once served as the Minister of Personnel and was in charge of the world's official position, was also punished to lose all their money after retirement. Later, after Jiajing ascended the throne, he provided assistance and subsidized 4 stones of Korean culture every month, otherwise the Han family would not be able to make a fuss...
Of course, Korean is not necessarily because of his own fault. Jiajing subsidies for Korean is not out of kindness. Because Jiajing has a hobby - completely denying Zhengde... Korean is a minister who was attacked during Zhengde, and regardless of whether Korean is responsible or not, Jiajing will definitely affirm the positive image of Korean. In this way, the purpose of further undermining Zhengde... Subsidies for Korean are to let the people of the world see - you see, how miserable the "righteous" Han Shangshu was forced by Zhengde's foolish monarch, it would be better for me...
...
Of course, that's a story later. In fact, Malin was not interested in Jiajing. Moreover, when he came to the Ming Dynasty next time, he would definitely advise Zhengde to take care of his health and not to be too messed up. The reason why Emperor Zhengde did not leave behind his descendants was probably related to his early life in chaos.
According to historical records, in the third year of Zhengde, Emperor Zhengde would establish a leopard house. The leopard house was first raised to raise jackals, tigers and leopards. When he was tired of raising it, he changed to various shops. Zhengde pretended to be a customer, and the eunuch in the palace pretended to be the boss...
Of course, there is no problem until here. What really went wrong was that after that, Leopard Room stopped opening a shop and changed to Qing Building. Zhengde asked the palace maids to pretend to be a female student, and then he pretended to be a female ticket buyer and casually went with the palace maids Yinle.
But the problem is that Zhengde is only fifteen or sixteen years old now, and next year he is only sixteen or seventeen years old. He has not yet grown up and he is "walking around Qinglou" every day, which will inevitably hurt Benyuan. Therefore, Zhengde looks fine, but because Benyuan is damaged, he cannot leave his children...
Marin's plan was that after the Ming Dynasty, he would teach Zhengde a set of Shaolin's "Yi Jin Jing" circulated online, and then fool him and said that the matter of room must be controlled before the age of 20 can be achieved...
The real "Yi Jin Jing" was created by Taoist Zi Ning in Tiantai during the Tianqi period. It was only after it was spread to Shaolin that the monks brag, and in order to improve their personality, they said that it was created by the ancestor Bodhidharma. Or, perhaps it was rumored by novelists such as Mr. Jin.
Of course, in order to fool Zhengde, Malin would definitely use the Shaolin version of the "Yi Jin Jing" and learn from Mr. Jin, bragging about it and fooling Zhengde. Then he would tell the story of the "A Reed Crossing the River" of the Patriarch of Bodhidharma and fooling the naughty children so that they can have the motivation to practice.
As for whether he can practice it, Malin would not say death, but would say, "The Yi Jin Jing is easy to learn but difficult to practice. For hundreds of years, only a few monks learned it... Only geniuses with clear bones can learn it..."
In this way, one day when the naughty child finds that he has not become a martial arts master, he will be able to shirk responsibility...
...
After adopting the suggestion of the Rat Scholar, Liu Jin immediately returned to the palace and asked for the imperial edict from Zhengde. However, Liu Jin was very scheming and did not immediately send someone to the Ministry of Rites to ask for guns and cannons. Instead, he gathered good people and waited until the next morning...
Why? Because there was an early court the next morning! As the Minister of Rites, Mao Cheng must go to court. Even the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Rites also had to attend the morning court.
It was only after all the big men of the Ministry of Rites went to court that Liu Jin could do it!
Liu Jin has not been able to cover up the sky at this moment. Facing Mao Cheng, the old stubborn man, he is a little weak. Therefore, when Mao Cheng takes the ministers to court and there is no big boss in the Ministry of Rites to take charge, it will be easy to do it. After all, there is no big boss in the Ministry of Rites, but there is no confidence to reject the order. If Mao Cheng is in the Ministry of Rites, he will have enough confidence to reject the emperor's order. Therefore, Liu Jin chose Mao Cheng to take the big bosses of the Ministry of Rites to take action.
The next morning, while Mao Cheng and the big boss of the Ministry of Rites went to the morning court, Liu Jin sent a large group of Jinyiwei and Dongchang men to break into the Ministry of Rites, read out the imperial edict, and asked for guns and cannons from the Beihai Kingdom.
At this time, the Ministry of Rites had only three or two kittens left, so how could they have the confidence to resist? However, as an old official, the doctor of the Ministry of Rites, the host and guest Qingli Department, who was on duty, did not dare to reject the order, but planned to delay it until Mao Cheng came back.
However, Liu Jin had long thought that these officials would do this. Therefore, after reading the imperial edict, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang men rushed to the warehouse of the Ministry of Rites. Facing the warehouse iron lock, the Great Han General of the Jinyiwei swung a hammer...
When Mao Cheng returned to the Ministry of Rites from the morning court with a helper, Liu Jin's subordinates had already taken away the batch of guns and cannons. At the same time, several military men sent by Guangzhou Forewarts who demonstrated the operation methods of Fran's machine cannons and grenade guns...
In fact, these military men have not been able to show the court how to use guns and cannons, and they have already planned to return home. If Liu Jin takes action, then two or three days later, these people may have set off to head south...
It just so happened that they had not left yet, and they lived in the Siyi Pavilion of the Ministry of Rites. So the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang men took them away directly.
"The eunuch bullies people too much! I want to write a book about him!"
When Mao Cheng learned that Liu Jin sent someone to snatch the batch of guns while he was away, he was so angry that he sneered. Mao Shangshu now regretted it - why didn't he use these guns and cannons as scrap copper and scrap iron as soon as possible...
However, Liu Jin was not worried at all. Why? Because he did things according to the emperor's will and could not find any fault in law. If he really wanted to say that there was any problem, he might just not give Mao Cheng face...
However, Liu Jin really doesn't care about Mao Cheng's face. Liu Jian and Xie Qian are powerful, right? The two auxiliary ministers in the cabinet respectfully called "getters". They failed to submit a memorial to kill Liu Jin, let alone Mao Cheng?
