MTL - Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao-Chapter 457 The secret system makes bureaucrats unable to unite!

  Chapter 457 The secret music system prevents bureaucrats from uniting!

   "It is said that the orphan has committed adultery with the princess?"

   "Who is passing it?"

   "How did it spread? With which princess?!"

   Zhang Gui also learned of this situation from Liu Zongmin shortly after returning home.

Liu Zongmin said: "I don't know yet, but it has been rumored throughout the capital that the person who committed adultery with you was Princess Le'an, the eighth younger sister of His Majesty! He also said that it was because you had an affair with Princess Le'an that you were punished." Instigated by him, he suddenly thought of changing the royal marriage system! No longer let the princess be disciplined by the housekeeper."

   As he spoke, Liu Zongmin replied again: "As for who spread the word, I still don't know for the time being."

   "Continue to check!"

"This matter is not simple. It is not so much aimed at the royal marriage system, it is better to say that it is aimed at the current currency reform and the desire to seize the imperial court's official profits! Everyone is greedy. They don't want the imperial court to earn too much. They earn too much money." Less! Dissatisfied! Greedy!"

  Zhang Gui gave orders to Liu Zongmin.

   After giving instructions to Liu Zongmin, Zhang Gui finally couldn't help kicking over an armchair in front of him, and then tore up the secret report on this matter sent by Xichang.

   It seemed that Zhang Gui was not relieved, he couldn't help shouting at Nuya who suddenly appeared in front of him: "Who made you appear! Did I send you a message? Get out!"

   It turned out that after Zhu Yujian and Zhang Gui had a quick meeting in the carriage, this Nuya actually volunteered to be recruited as a hired maid in Zhang Gui's mansion.

Because Shang Jinghui was pregnant again, he needed more maids to serve, and he recruited girls from good families who were willing to join the mansion. After Nuya knew about it, she asked Zhu Yujian to write a post for her to apply for the Dongping Palace. His performance was extraordinary, so he was really retained by Shang Jinghui.

   It's just that Nuya is always by Shang Jinghui's side, and won't come to Zhang Gui alone, but today she suddenly appeared.

   Zhang Gui was even a little angry when he saw her coming.

  But Zhang Gui himself was getting angry, so he got angry at Nuya first, and after scolding Nuya away, he sat back on the chair and looked at Basho leaning against the white wall in a daze.

   "Husband!"

  I don't know when, a soft call appeared in Zhang Gui's ear.

Only then did Zhang Gui come to his senses, and seeing Shang Jinghui standing behind him, he smiled and said, "I shouldn't have gone back to Beijing! Clean up the mess for them, most of these powerful bureaucrats just want to use me as a tool , praise when you want to praise, hate when you want to be black! It's just that Princess Le'an is so innocent, and she has to bear such a stigma because of it!"

   "My husband didn't come back to Beijing because of them. They are doing this now, naturally because they want to drive him away. This kind of trick is not uncommon in this dynasty. They dare to make up anything."

  Shang Jinghui said.

Zhang Gui sneered and said, "It's not up to them when I leave. I know what they're thinking. It's just that they see the problem of unsalable sales in Hanhai Coal Mine is solved, and steam trains appear again, so they want to swallow the world." The interests of the steam industry, but I dislike Uncle Zhang Guo for blocking their way. Even in the name of reducing expenditures, some people in the court have begun to propose to benefit the people and abolish several government-run railways."

Speaking of this, Zhang Gui said: "However, sometimes my husband also thinks, what does it have to do with me if they want to take the profits of the steam industry in the world, the world is not mine, and I am not in the world." My lord, my Zhang family has already been rich in this life anyway. As long as Your Majesty has no opinion, why should I care about it. As for the common people in the world, the mountains and rivers are safe now, the country is prosperous and the people are safe. They will care who will occupy the interests of the steam industry in this world."

"Husband is right. Husband doesn't need to argue with them, but they can't be so hypocritical. They want to kill the donkey, but they don't want people to think that they are going to kill the donkey, so they want to disgrace the husband first. What's the point!"

Shang Jinghui also pouted dissatisfiedly and said: "It's no wonder that you said that peace is the most important thing in this officialdom, my husband. I think you have brought them a lot of benefits, but they are in need. To smear your husband, when you want to force you to leave, you will still use all means to not give you face, even if you will be accused of adultery by your majestic relative!"

  Zhang Gui nodded and chuckled: "Since these hypocrites don't make Gu's life easy, Gu Gu won't make their life easy either!"

"They naively think that if they leave alone, the profits of the steam industry in this world will really be monopolized by them, and the imperial court will be controlled by them again? They don't even think about it, most of the people in this land are farmers , and in an empire where most of the people are peasants, do the majority of the people care who the benefits of the world belong to?"

   "What do the people of the world care about?"

  Shang Jinghui asked at this time.

   "I only care about whether I can eat enough today, whether I can eat meat, and whether I can marry a wife!"

   "As for the world, it doesn't matter whether the emperor eats better than the ministers, or the ministers eat better than the emperor, or even the emperor is more licentious than the ministers, or the ministers are more dissolute than the emperor."

   "Generally speaking, they only care about whether they can live their lives in peace, and who can give them such a good life?"

   "It can only be given by a centralized imperial court!"

"The rich and powerful private merchants are the appendages of the landlord bureaucrats. They only know how to exploit the people without limit, and they will never give the people such a stable life. Rebellion, even if the rebellion is successful, at most it is just a change of emperor, there is no big loss!"

"Thus, people who have seen through the nature of the chaos in the world since ancient times in this land will know that the inability to conquer the top is the root of the chaos, and those who have the greatness of the people in the world often choose to be loyal to the king because of this, not because they are stupid. They are outstanding people, how could they be stupid, like Yue Wang would rather die in vain than resist the imperial court, that's why."

  After speaking, Zhang Gui concluded: "Those in the DPRK who still want peace in this world will not let power and profit be controlled by local tyrants."

  Shang Jinghui just smiled when he saw Zhang Gui talking so much.

  And Zhang Gui confessed a few words to Shang Jinghui at this time, saying: "You have to go to see the Queen about this matter, and tell her so when the time comes."

   As he spoke, Zhang Gui whispered in Shang Jinghui's ear.

  Shang Jinghui nodded after hearing this, and said solemnly: "Husband, don't worry!"

   After explaining to Shang Jinghui, Zhang Gui went to the palace, asked to see Tianqi, and said something to Tianqi.

   "Do you want to implement the secret music system? Let the bureaucrats of the world give me the secret music?"

  Tianqi asked Zhang Gui in astonishment, and then asked: "You mean to want the bureaucrats in the world to inform each other?"

   Immediately, Tian Qi said again: "Aren't you afraid that they will secretly speak ill of you to me?"

  Zhang Gui smiled and said: "They are already talking bad things about my minister! Besides, it all depends on whether His Majesty is willing to read it, and whether he will believe it or not."

   Tian Qi pondered for a moment and asked, "What are you doing this for?"

   "Let them not be united!"

"No way, Your Majesty, if your Ming wants long-term peace and stability, the people who need it most are the bureaucrats of the world, and the people who destroy the most are also the bureaucrats of the world. If you don't let them suspect each other and deal with each other, then they will think about dealing with you together, thinking about it." How can we corrupt the Ming Empire together!"

   Zhang Gui said.
