Looking at Dan's two internal servants, he handed over Li Xian's hands to the imperial case of Tianzi, and a group of ministers under the bottom still did not wake up.
In comparison, although Shen Yi also did not expect it, after many years of ups and downs in the court, he was keenly aware that this was a good opportunity to fight back.
Therefore, Shen Shangshu stepped forward decisively and spoke.
“Your Majesty, your Majesty, the battle at Oara cost the national treasury a lot. Post-war pensions, resettlement of refugees, repairs to the city walls, everything needs money from the Ministry of Household Affairs.”
"Although I am not sensitive, I dare not fail to do my best in my position."
"For the past few days, I have led a group of people from the household department, working hard day and night, working day and night, racking my brains and racking my brains to overthrow Maguan and rebuild Yinliang."
"Now that we have achieved results, some villains are trying to make false accusations. I am unwilling to argue about the right and wrong. Please make the decision for me, your Majesty."
The Qiqing boss is also very good at selling miserably.
Speaking of unwillingness to argue, the expression on his face could just be written with a big word "injustice".
Zhu Qiyu sat on the throne and put down the memorial presented by the chamberlain. He couldn't help but feel dumbfounded in his heart.
This Shen Yi really knows how to cooperate and seize the opportunity!
Zhu Qiyu knew very well what was going on.
At the border pass, Zhu Qiyu insisted on repairing it according to the strongest standards, which meant that more silver taels were needed.
After the War of Wala, the national treasury was already tight, and the Ministry of Household Affairs relied on the peppercorns to reduce the salary to barely maintain the daily operations of the court.
As soon as the amount of silver allocated to the border increased, the originally barely usable amount of silver immediately became stretched.
This is also the reason why the Ministry of Household Affairs insists on disbursing the next tranche of money for the reconstruction of Duomaguan after the new year.
Shen Yi was anxious, and Zhu Qiyu was naturally thinking of something.
To say that the richest people in the capital are naturally the Xunqi family.
It just so happened that Duke Chengguo wanted to curry favor with the emperor.
So, under the suggestion of a certain commander named Lu, Mr. Li and Mr. Zhu worked together and came up with this method of jointly losing money.
Three hundred thousand taels of silver, converted into grain, can buy millions of stones.
It is enough to solve the urgent needs of the Ministry of Household Affairs.
This amount of money covers more than 20 honorary relatives.
Among them, Duke Chengguo's mansion gave out 80,000 taels, and Duke Feng's mansion gave out 50,000 taels. These two families took the majority, and the remaining hundreds of thousands taels were distributed to each family, which is equivalent to seven to eight thousand taels.
On the Jingnan side, it was Li Xian's face, but on the Yanwang Palace side, it was Zhu Yi who ran away.
So actually, it can be seen from this point.
The Duke of Chengguo still has a great influence among his relatives.
Although, for the rich and powerful Xun Qi, ten thousand taels of silver is not a big deal, but it is definitely not something they are willing to spend casually.
Zhu Yi was not even sure that after taking out the silver, he would be able to restore his title.
But as soon as he opened his mouth, these relatives were still willing to help, and the thoughts of these relatives were evident.
That is, as long as there is a way to help the Chengguo government survive the crisis, even if the chance is slim, they are willing to try it.
As for what Li Xian said, it is a common practice for the Ministry of Household Affairs to publish lists to various government offices.
Every time the national treasury is in difficulty, the Ministry of Revenue will think of such a method.
In any case, the collection was done among the various yamen of the imperial court. It was neither asking for money from the people nor from officials, so it was not a shameful thing.
It’s just that the results have been very little, just better than nothing.
Zhu Qiyu's original intention was just to keep the progress of building the border city from stopping, so he did not inform Shen Yi of this matter in advance.
But I never thought that today I would encounter a group of ministers attacking the Ministry of Household Affairs.
Unexpectedly, Shen Yi is also a smart man. What he said was just like beating a snake with a stick. He only said that this silver was the silver he had worked so hard to raise.
For the sake of national affairs, he even gave up his old face and went to raise money with his relatives, but he was stabbed in the back by his own family.
I feel so wronged!
Shaking his head, Zhu Qiyu turned his attention to the helpless censor in the palace and said.
“Wei Qing, do you have anything to say about what Shen Shangshu said?”
The censor who just jumped out is named Wei An. He was the censor who was just promoted after the Battle of Tumu.
When Li Xian's memorial was handed over, his face turned pale and he realized that he had been too rash.
In the first step, he also impeached the minister of household affairs, delaying the court's plans, and then others solved the matter.
This seems to be like someone who is busy with national affairs, while he himself is causing trouble for others behind the scenes.
Feeling the gazes from all directions, Mr. Wei's face turned from white to red, he fell to the ground and said in a low voice.
"I made a rash statement without investigating, and misunderstood my colleagues in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Please punish me."
All, spineless...
A group of elderly people in the palace looked disappointed.
They thought that this young censor could carry it for a while longer.
After all, the job of a censor or official is to hear rumors and report events.
The so-called "heard reports" literally means participating in impeachment based on rumors.
The Ming Dynasty’s affairs were not so casual, but they were not much different.
Specifically speaking, in the operation of court and local government affairs, as long as the officials with supervisory power think something is inappropriate, they can raise questions and request pickets.
This kind of impeachment does not need to be supported by detailed evidence.
After all, if there is evidence, it can be submitted directly to the judicial department for discussion, and there is no need for picketing.
If there are no problems after picketing, then the matter will be settled. If there are problems after picketing, then the punishment will be according to the regulations.
In this case, it is normal for the official to be impeached wrongly.
Therefore, the imperial censor Ke Dao of the Ming Dynasty was very proud.
You are right. I dare to speak out and my eyes are as bright as lightning.
I said it wrong... I won’t apologize, and I will do it again next time.
Therefore, it is indeed a bit disappointing that the censor gave up so quickly. I can’t help but lament in my heart that today’s young people are really inferior to each other...
The old people who were eating melon thought that the matter was over, but at this moment, the emperor spoke.
"Since Wei Qing admits his mistake, it is said that he can correct his mistake after he realizes it. There is no greater good. He will be fined one month's salary and shut up for seven days to reflect on his mistakes as a punishment."
At this time, not only Wei An, who was supposed to step forward to receive the order, was stunned, but even the officials below made a "buzz" sound and began to discuss.
After a while, a censor came out and said:
"Your Majesty, this is inappropriate. Wei An is a scholar and has the right to supervise. It is his duty to speak out and speak out. How can he be punished for this?"
"Yes, even if the impeachment is wrong, it is still a common thing. It is really inappropriate to accuse someone of a crime. Your Majesty, please think again."
“Your Majesty…”
If just now, the group of ministers below were still watching the show, now, they are all in high spirits.
Different from the previous impeachment which just disgusted the Ministry of Household Affairs, this was a matter involving imperial court regulations.
Wei An was not punished severely, just one month's salary and seven days in seclusion to reflect on his mistakes.
The problem is that the Ming Dynasty has always been lenient towards remonstrators. Punishing remonstrators because of impeachment errors would be boycotted in the Ming Dynasty.
Remonstrators can be punished for disobedience and transgression before the emperor, but being punished for impeachment itself is unacceptable to most courtiers.
This is also the basis for the smooth flow of Mingyan.
Although the emperor's move is not a severe punishment, the hidden meaning of it makes the court officials have to pay attention to it.
Facing the admonitions of so many courtiers, Zhu Qiyu remained very calm. He tilted his head and asked Chen Yi, the censor of Zuodu, beside him.
“The General Constitution thinks there is something wrong with my move?”
