This is the most worrying issue for the three academicians. The emperor's thoughts are always the most difficult to guess. His Majesty's trust in Li Guang in the past few years is still vivid in his mind. It was just that His Majesty wanted to use the techniques of Buddhism and Taoism.

Being able to change his physical condition, everyone spent a lot of effort to defeat Li Guang, and they finally overcame that difficulty.

If His Majesty is angered this time and causes the monarch and his ministers to be alienated from each other, then many people may be in trouble, especially this time when Dongchang shows its prowess.

"My lords, Eunuch He, the Supervisor of Ceremonies, is here!" The cabinet clerk came in from outside. Seeing the three big guys sitting there, the atmosphere in the room was a bit depressing. He couldn't help lowering his head and said,

Then he stood still and didn't dare to move.

The three people looked at each other, and Liu Jian slowly said: "Your Majesty must have something to explain, I hope it's not a bad thing!" After speaking, he turned to the clerk and said: "Please come in, Eunuch He!"

These three are cabinet bachelors, especially Liu Jian, who is the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet. His status is naturally sufficient. When they face He Neng, they don't have to go out to pick him up. Just saying "please" is already very helpful.

He Neng was saved. Not long after, He Neng walked in under the guidance of the clerk. When he saw the three bachelors, he quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "I have met Liu Gong, Xie Gong, and Li Gong!"

"Eunuch He is so polite!" Liu Jian said with a smile, "But what are your orders?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Mr. Liu!" He Neng nodded and said: "Your Majesty will draft the decree with the cabinet, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Shuntian Prefecture will investigate the lawlessness of Shouning Hou. Anyone who has Shouning Hou's servants running rampant in the countryside and bullying others will be severely punished.

If Shouning Hou’s farmland invades the common people’s fields, the land will be returned to the people and compensation will be given to the people. In addition, if Shouning Marquis has acted excessively, he will be fined two years’ salary and banned for one month.”

He Neng's words made the three of them stunned. The three of them were still talking about this matter just now, and they were still saying that His Majesty would not give in. Why did such an imperial edict come at this time?

"Three adults?" Seeing that the three people were silent, He Neng asked hesitantly, what happened to the three adults?

"Congratulations to your majesty, Eunuch, I will prepare the decree immediately!" Liu Jian came to his senses at this time and quickly agreed.

After He Neng left, Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty is still kind and considerate. Your Majesty has never severely punished Shouning Hou before. This time it can be regarded as setting a precedent and appeasing those people."

It's over." As he spoke, there was a somewhat emotional smile on his face, and at the same time, he was even more pleased. Liu Jian was obviously in a state of self-satisfaction.

The so-called famous ministers and the so-called ideal of scholars are to serve the emperors Yao and Shun. Now that your majesty behaves like this, Liu Jian is greatly relieved.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang looked at each other, and Li Dongyang said worriedly: "What if those people take advantage of it?"

The atmosphere in the room instantly became awkward, and the expression on Liu Jian's face froze instantly. After pondering for a long time, Liu Jian said with a wry smile: "Yes! Push yourself to the limit."

In the eyes of the three of them, the matter this time may not be so easy to resolve. After thinking about it, Xie Qian said: "The matter in Yangzhou cannot be stopped no matter what, but there is nothing we can do. Now the prince

Since His Highness is in Yangzhou, we can write to the Minister of Revenue, Ji Zhong, and ask him to use some force. If nothing else, try to involve as few officials as possible."

"What an eventful time it has been!" Li Dongyang sighed on the side, and then said: "We all know that Mr. Zhong, the Minister of Household Affairs, is an upright man and is not the kind of person who knows how to adapt. I'm afraid he won't be able to handle this matter."

"Moobin from Jin Yiwei is over there. I'm afraid there isn't much that Qi Zhong can do. Wei Li, the censor of Zuo Qian who is going to the Du Procuratorate this time, is an upright man and has been in the Procuratorate for a long time. I want to take this matter to hand.

He should be able to make meritorious deeds. But he is not a deputy envoy, and if he tries to do so, he may not be able to do so. Why don't we advise His Majesty that since the matter involves officials, why not make him a deputy envoy as well!"

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang and then at Xie Qian, his face expressionless. Of course he knew what these two people meant, but Liu Jian was noncommittal.

"Sir, a document from Yangzhou!" The clerk came in from the outside again, holding a document in his hand. This was just delivered this morning, but because several bachelors had explained that all documents about Yangzhou must be

It was delivered as soon as possible. After the clerk discovered this document, he naturally did not dare to neglect it and sent it over immediately.

After taking the document and taking a look at it, Liu Jian's face instantly turned ugly. After a while, he handed the document to Xie Qian, and then said, "Something happened!"

Seeing Xie Qian looking at the documents and Li Dongyang looking at himself, Liu Jian had no choice but to say: "Liu Huai Dao, the salt patrol envoy of the Huaihe River, was arrested. Liu Qi, the salt transit envoy, defected to Shouning Hou and Dongchang. Dongchang said that they had taken over

The secret report from the transshipment envoy Liu Qi led to the discovery of the illegal salt case in Yangzhou, and the evidence was obtained by the Yangzhou transshipment envoy Liu Qi who did not hesitate to taint himself or collaborate with others."

"Liu Qi also registered all his corruption gains over the years and paid them all, which were worth more than two million taels."

Liu Jian's words directly shocked Li Dongyang. Xie Qian handed the documents he had read to Li Dongyang, and then said: "With Liu Qi, the implication is wider. His Highness the Crown Prince did not use Dongchang, but Jinyiwei."

, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has a sense of proportion. However, Liu Huaidao, the tour envoy, was arrested and the matter became big!"

Li Dongyang was immediately embarrassed. He had just wanted to promote Wei Li, the censor of Zuo Qiandu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to deputy imperial envoy, but this happened.

The status of the censor for patrolling salt is very special. In the early Ming Dynasty, the censor was sent to patrol salt on a temporary basis. During the Yongle period, the censor began to conduct special salt inspections. During the Xuande period, a censor was selected to patrol the banned areas in Yangzhou Prefecture and other places.

Private salt. During the Zhengtong period, the salt inspection censorship system initially took shape. The Ming Dynasty ordered the Lianghuai, Liangzhejiang, Changlu and other transportation bureaus to send a censor each year to lead the inspection of the ban and supervise the salt class. Jingtai

There were ups and downs for a while, but it soon stabilized. During the Chenghua period, customization was basically formed.

With the passage of time, the actual status and authority of the Salt Patrol Censor gradually increased, overriding the Salt Transport Envoy in the capital.

"Liu Qi is harming people!" Liu Dongyang put down the document and sighed: "Liu Qi has taken refuge with Hou Ninghou. Now things are getting more and more troublesome. The Jinyi Guards are investigating the case this time. We don't even want to take the case."

Easy. Your Majesty doesn’t trust the officials in Nanzhili. Something like this happened again in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It’s hard to handle!”
