Chapter 192 Customs Storm (Part 2)

The court game is like a chess game, and not many people are qualified to play this game. In Yinzuo's words, Mr. Kangxi is a referee. The ones who play chess are Yinzuo and the fourth brother Yinzhen. The others are just spectators. However, those spectators are not honest spectators, and they have no sense of spectators at all. They don't even tell the point of pointing fingers, but they are still pinching their hands and filling them in the chessboard, making the already complicated chess game mess. The referee is even more inexplicable. He will give him a plan if he takes the lead. It is simply unreasonable to force both sides to return to the same starting line.

Complaint? If you dare to complain publicly, hey, the old man has already prepared the board in his hand, and I’m waiting for you to come. Playing chess honestly is the king. The chess game has just begun. Before the final decision is reached, the fourth brother took the lead in provoking the battle. Although it is a local battle, it is related to the overall situation. Yinzuo cannot afford to lose. It is not because of losing this disaster that will definitely affect the battle for the throne, but losing this disaster will inevitably affect the ocean strategy that Yinzuo has worked hard to arrange.

The fourth and the eighth brothers have been considered a second-handed deal, but the two sides' purposes are very different - the eighth brothers are aimed at disrupting the chess game, and everyone should play together, otherwise everyone will not play. As long as the chess game is always chaotic, he has the opportunity to take advantage of it. Whoever can laugh to the end is still a matter of two things. The fourth brothers' purpose is actually not to have to bring the customs to the Ministry of Revenue. Of course, it is best to succeed. Even if it doesn't happen, it doesn't matter. As long as the customs can be marked out from the Ministry of Works, it will be done. The fourth brothers himself are very clear that if he doesn't disrupt Yinzuo's deployment, he will not see any hope of victory. Of course, the main purpose of disrupting Yinzuo's deployment is to take advantage of Yinzuo's full defense and put forward his own political proposal - to spread the stakes into the acres, and officials and gentry will pay the food together.

At this moment, the Kangxi Dynasty was no longer the mess in history. After Yinzuo proposed to return the fire to the public, sea transportation replaced the inland waters and water transportation, vigorously carrying out overseas trade and other measures, the national treasury was already very full. It was not the original time and space where the books were 50 million taels of silver, but in fact there was only eight million taels of silver deposit. Although the officials still had a deficit, since the fire to the public, the debt was much less. It was not very interesting to rely on clearing the debt to make contributions. Since the fourth brother is in charge of the household, the debt has been much less.

If the ministry wants to achieve results, it is only possible to spread the ranks into the acres and officials and gentry to pay food together. However, it is not easy to pass this document. Not to mention that it will offend the vast majority of court officials, the eighth and the eighth and the eighth and the one who may have come forward to block the passage of this document for their own purposes. It is precisely because of this that when the eighth and the eighth and the one who propose to reverse Shilun would respond immediately. The purpose is to pass this document while the eighth and the eighth and the one who has just joined forces with him and cannot turn against each other in a short time.

Although the fourth brother's abacus was well planned, it could not hide it from Wu Sidao's calculations. If the fourth brother passed the Chen, the one who suffered the most severe blow was the eighth brother. The eighth brother's foundation was the many officials, and the officials and gentry were allocated to the acres, and the officials and gentry were all dealt with together to pay the food. Since Yinzuo already knew the fourth brother's abacus, there were two choices in front of Yinzuo - revealing the fourth brother's abacus to the eighth brother, thus destroying the fourth brother's joint plan and letting them fight each other. In this way, whether this Chen can pass the court discussion is something God knows. This is one. Pretend not to let it pass, once the Chen passes, the eighth brother will inevitably turn against the fourth brother. The two join forces will be resolved. During the implementation of the Chen, the fourth brother and the eighth brother will definitely kill a bayonet, thus creating a favorable space for Yinzuo's ocean plan to calmly implement it. This is the second.

The two choices have their own advantages and disadvantages. Although the first option can immediately disintegrate the eighth and the fourth brothers' joint situation to resolve the imminent customs crisis, in this way, the subsequent maritime plan will inevitably have no room for implementation. Secondly, the referee of the old man is not a fool, and he can definitely see through the name of Yinzuo. In this way, the impression is much lower immediately, and the board will probably be more heavier, which is really undesirable. Since the first choice does not work, we can only take the second path, and we have to endure the current failure in exchange for future success. The pain is inevitable, and Yinzuo is also ready to be stabbed.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month of the 41st year of Kangxi, the first morning court of the New Year began. The civil and military officials shouted that long live the whole life. As soon as the old man Kangxi asked everyone to calm down, He Longling, the new left censor, stood up and knelt on the hall, and said loudly: "I have a copy of the book. I impeached the Director of the General Administration of Customs Shi Shilun for misconduct, and did not practice it. I was in chaos and abandoned it at the beginning. It was contrary to the way of a gentleman and was defiant in the court. I respectfully requested the emperor to make a clear decision."

As soon as He Longling finished speaking, the new Jiangnan Censor Li Shi also stood up and said loudly: "I have also submitted a memorial to impeach Shi Shilun, Director of the General Administration of Customs. He is nothave properly and has a gentleman's way. I am willing to ask the emperor to make a clear decision."

He Longling was the subordinate of the eighth brother, and Li Shi was the subordinate of Yinzhen. Once these two people came out, it meant that the fourth brother and the eighth brother had reached an agreement on this matter. Even if some court officials originally planned to defend Shi Shilun, they did not dare to stand up at this time. As soon as Li finished speaking, they stood up 30. Forty court officials impeached Shilun. In the hall, the voices of condemning Shilun were heard in a row, and the momentum was huge, which was no different from the traitors. Shi Shilun stood in the civil servants' queue with a red face, listening silently, and not leaving the list to defend himself.

Mr. Kangxi raised his hand calmly, signaled to the ministers to be quiet, and said expressionlessly: "What is Shi Aiqing's explanation for this matter."

Shi Shilun stepped out quickly, knelt on the ground, and said with an awkward expression: "I know I have been betrayed the holy grace, so I dare not argue. I am not Fang Xuanling, but my wife is more than Fang."

Mr. Kangxi was well-versed in Chinese and Western learning and was familiar with history books. He naturally knew the allusion of Shi Shilun's speech - Fang Xuanling, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty. His wife was as strong as a lion in the Hedong River. Fang Xuanling was not allowed to marry a concubine. This was a big laughing stock in the Tang Dynasty officialdom. Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty Li Shimin once rewarded Fang Xuanling with several beauties as concubines, and he sent someone a bottle of vinegar to pretend to be poison. He said that if Fang did not allow Fang Xuanling to marry a concubine, he would have to drink this bottle of poison. Although he knew that Fang would drink all the "poison" in one sip without hesitation, this was the origin of jealousy. Mr. Kangxi was amused by Shi Lun's words, and the civil and military officials in the court also pursed their lips and smiled secretly.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Yinzuo quickly made a gesture with his hands behind his back. Liu Siyuan, the Minister of Works, nodded his head understandingly, flashed out of the ministers, and knelt down and said, "Sage, I have a book to report: The sage said: "There is no filial piety to be the best. Although Master Shi is a bit unlucky, there is a reason for this matter. Please check it out."

Taking advantage of the opportunity when Liu Siyuan made a report, Yinzuo gave a wink at the third brother standing beside him, which means that brother, if you don’t take action, you won’t be able to get the ten ships. Yinzhi is not a fool. Seeing that Mr. Kangxi smiled so hard, he understood that the old man had no intention of dealing with Shi Lun again. Why didn’t he do such a favorable favor? But he wouldn’t do anything to protect Shi Shi Lun until he was alone. Let Yinzuo control the customs is not the result that Yinzhi wants. He wants the ship, and Yinzuo can help with his help, but he will never help to the end. As for what to do, after Yinzuo left yesterday, he had already explained to his subordinates clearly. Seeing Yinzuo signaling, Yinzhi smiled and quietly made a gesture with his hands behind his back.

Chen Ruqi, the Minister of Rites, came out and reported: "Sage, I have also written a memorial: I think that although Lord Shi's actions have a reason, they will eventually lose their duties as a court official. However, Lord Shi is a minister of the country after all, so I ask the Lord to investigate clearly."

Hey, damn, the third guy is very slippery, grandma, you have to get the benefits, and you don't want us to control the customs. Look at what he said, it's smooth, with Chen Ruqi's material, this must be the third guy's idea. Well, since everyone doesn't want us to hold the customs, we just hand over the guns themselves to prevent the old man from hitting the board. Yinzuo was sure of it and stepped out: "Emperor Ama, my son-in-law also wrote a memorial: I think that although Lord Shi has a minor fault, he is honest and self-controlled, and has made many achievements. If he is punished heavily for small faults, he will lose the intention of a court official, and the emperor often teaches his son-in-law to see people should take the big frankness. As long as the big frankness is not lost, the small frankness is not restricted, and the son-in-law dare not forget it."

"Ha." Old Master Kangxi laughed and looked at Yinzuo with great interest and said, "Since that's the case, let's talk about it, how should I deal with this matter?"

What to do? Hey, don’t you know what you think? You still let us say it yourself, it’s boring. Isn’t this let us beat our own slap? Yinzuo felt so twitched, but the old man said, but he couldn’t help but answer, so he smiled and said, “Emperor Ama Mingjian, my son thought Shilun would be fine in his life. Although he had small mistakes, he should not be punished heavily. Moreover, Shilun is a minister of the country. Now that the governor of Yunnan is vacant, my son is willing to guarantee Shilun to take this position. Please ask Emperor Amah to approve him.”

Although the governor of Yunnan was a rank of the border officials, his position was comparable to Shi Shilun's position at this time. However, the direction of the ghost land in Yunnan was the most unwilling thing for the officials of the court. Although he did not want to get into the miasma, Yinzuo's move was equivalent to exiling Shilun. As for the mistakes made by Shilun, the punishment was considered heavy, and everyone had no objection. But just as the old man Kangxi was about to nod and report it, a voice came out: "Emperor, my son also wrote a memorial."
