Hearing this, there was silence all around.
Chang Sheng, Duke of Zheng, said angrily, "Yang Jing, you are such a mouthful!" After saying that, he quickly apologized to Zhu Yunxi and said, "Your Majesty, I have absolutely nothing to do with this!"
"Don't be impatient!" Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes to Yang Jing, "Yang Aiqing, you are the censor, and you have the responsibility of supervising the impeachment of hundreds of officials, but you must speak truthfully and with solid evidence!"
"Of course I have evidence!" Yang Jing kowtowed, "Does the Emperor know about Taibai Tower?"
Zhu Yunxi pretended to hesitate, "Well, I have heard a little bit about it, why are Taibailou and Zheng Guogong involved?"
Yang Jing smiled and said, "Your Majesty, Taibai Tower is the property of Cao Guogong, Zheng Guogong and Chengenhou!" He continued, "This building is located on the bank of the Qinhuai River. It is a first-class winery in the capital, rich and luxurious.
, a table of wine and food alone costs dozens of silver! There are many dignitaries coming and going, and the lights are on all night long!"
"Many of the utensils used in the winery are illegal and trespassing. The official kilns in Jingdezhen, Persian carpets, ambergris, sandalwood and other items are far more luxurious than those in Da Nei. And it is contrary to ethics. Young women are dressed in plain gauze, with their breasts exposed and exposed to the public.
To entertain guests here and there is simply a loss of moral principles and makes people and gods angry!"
"How do you know so clearly?" Zhu Yunxi asked doubtfully.
"Go away... what I said is true!" Yang Jing said loudly.
Zhu Yunxi immediately looked unhappy and turned to Chang Sheng, "Is this the case?"
The issue of officials doing business can be either big or small. The founding father of the Ming Dynasty had a strict order that officials and their family members were not allowed to do business. Anyone who violated the order would be punished for corruption. But in the capital, among these nobles and nobles, who doesn't have other properties?
In fact, this order is mainly aimed at officials, and the private property of nobles has always been ignored.
Chang Sheng's head was covered with sweat and he whispered, "I dare not deceive the emperor. This is indeed the case!"
As he said this, he was already scolding in his heart, "Your grandma's Li Jinglong, I told you not to engage in such a conspicuous business, but you didn't listen. Look, let someone stab you! It's your grandma's business, you brought it up."
Damn it, now that you are not in court, you still want me to wipe your ass!"
At this time, Yang Jing said loudly, "Your Majesty, that's not all. If it was just a restaurant, I wouldn't have to impeach him with such a big fanfare. Just because the Taibai Tower also has a secret casino, adopts prostitutes for guests' entertainment, and even secretly
Usury and grandiose marriage are against the state and are a serious crime of deceiving the emperor!"
"No way!" Zhao Sili almost fainted from fright when he heard this, his legs were trembling.
The most noble one, Jingchuan Hou Cao Zhen, pulled Chang Sen and whispered, "Chang Laosan, you two brothers are not kind enough! You have such a good business at home, why don't you ask us to have fun?"
"
"Oh, Mr. Marquis, please stop causing trouble!" Chang Sen cried in agony.
Cao Zhen smiled and gave the people around him a gloating look.
The old founding princes, led by Duke Feng Sheng of the Song Dynasty, all bowed their heads and laughed.
On one side was the emperor's uncle, and on the other side was the emperor's father-in-law. Now it was fun to watch.
Sure enough, Zhu Yunxi's expression suddenly changed, and he patted the armrest of the dragon chair, "Mr. Zheng, is this possible?"
"No, no!" Chang Sheng kowtowed, "Opening a restaurant is just to earn some pocket money privately. How dare I get involved in things like casinos and prostitutes? I just... Even if I starve to death, I can't throw it away.
That man! It’s just a shame for me to be embarrassed. If someone really behaves like that, wouldn’t it bring disgrace to your Majesty?”
"Humph, if not for this, how can you make a fortune every day?" Yang Jing sneered, "I can see with my own eyes that several carts of gold and silver entered the residence of Marquis Chengen!"
"Ah!" Zhao Sili knelt down with a puff, "Your Majesty, your Majesty..."
He was so frightened that he really didn't know what to say, because Taibailou would indeed send the month's dividends to his home every month.
"As a relative of the emperor, it's okay not to think about the emperor's kindness, but to compete with the people for profit." Yang Jing continued, "I ask the emperor to severely punish me, otherwise I will not be able to serve the world!"
"Let go... you...!" Chang Sheng said in fear, "Your Majesty, this winery was built at the suggestion of Cao Guogong that day to provide more income for the family. It is absolutely not what Yang Jing said.
What’s more, Mr. Zhao Hou doesn’t know about this matter, he has never been there, he just distributes profit points every month as dividends!”
"You also know how to take out Zhao Ning'er!"
Zhu Yunxi felt funny. In fact, the reason why Yang Jing stood up today was just the routine of their monarchs and ministers.
"Yang Jing, you said that my family is a prostitute and a gambler. Is there any evidence?" Chang Sen said angrily.
"This..." Yang Jing was suddenly startled, "I am the inspector-general of the Ming Dynasty, but I have heard that there is something going on!"
The reason why these censors in the Ming Dynasty are hated is because the old man gave them a talisman. Whatever they heard, whether true or false, can be used for impeachment. Whether it is true or not, the court will investigate and deal with it.
"Increase some income for the family?" At this time, Zhu Yunxi spoke slowly, looking at Chang Sheng and others, as if he was unhappy, "You are the founding nobles, hereditary dukes, and royal relatives. Our family owns land and property.
There are countless people, why are they short of this little money?"
"Opening a restaurant doesn't seem to be a big deal. But the imperial court has strict orders that officials are not allowed to do business. Don't you know that? So blatantly, you even opened the first floor of the capital?"
"I am waiting for death!"
"I will withdraw my shares, I will withdraw my shares!" Zhao Sili said loudly, "I will go back now and hand over the dividends earned...to the national treasury!"
Seeing how frightened the uncle and the father-in-law were, the old nobles snickered secretly.
Although the Huaixi nobles are monolithic, they are also happy to see other people's jokes, and not only do they want to see them, but they can also use them as a source of conversation in the future.
Little did they know that while they were watching a joke, someone immediately opened fire on them over there.
"I also have this report!" Hou Yong, the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, slowly came out of the queue, holding a notebook in his hand, "I am the right minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and I am responsible for assessing the political performance of officials all over the world."
"Since I took office, I have found some unusual things in my resume archives. There are thirty officials in Yunnan Province, and they have a close relationship with the nobles of the day!"
Suddenly, the old nobles all looked at him with cannibalistic eyes.
Hou Yong was undaunted, "I heard that your Majesty has the right to sell salt, iron, sugar and cloth in Yunnan. Although your majesty promised them gold at the beginning, officials who have had relations with them over the years have used their power to arbitrarily
Call on civilians or garrison troops to transport goods for them!"
"I also discovered that when several of my officials were promoted, some of the founders of the country interceded for them!"
After saying that, Hou Yong continued to speak loudly, "Across Yunnan, because the exclusive power of the nobles has been lost, the officials transferred by the imperial court cannot stand to be squeezed out!"
"What a bitch!"
The old nobles cursed loudly and wished they could rush over and strangle Hou Yong to death right now.
These exclusive franchise rights were obtained in exchange for their farm tenants and mines. They also obtained them by sacrificing their military privileges over the years.
"Your Majesty!" At this time, Yan Zhenzhi, another censor of the Inspectorate, also came out and raised his head and said, "Salt, iron, sugar, cloth, timber mines, etc. are supposed to be exclusive to the country. Xu Yixun was just a stop-gap measure at the time. Nowadays, the southwest border is becoming more and more important.
It is stable, with fields and forts built everywhere, and the imperial government allocates an incredible amount of money every year."
"I would like to ask your Majesty to take back your exclusive rights!"
"Damn it!" The old nobles' hearts exploded.
