Chapter 38: Court Hall (1)

"Wow! A smuggling case is now connected to the Japanese, and then the customs was brought out to check more than 40 anti-smuggling officials."

"It also involved three doctors under the magistrate of Ningbo, six prominent families in the local area, and more than 30 gentry with fame and honor. Seventy-two officials from each yamen!"

"The total amount of money involved in the case is 8.76 million!"

In Fengtian Hall, Zhu Yunyu held the eight hundred miles of urgent secret message from Tiexun in his hand, and read it out loud in front of all the ministers.

Suddenly, the six ministers of the Ming Dynasty who were sitting in front of him could not sit still. The Minister of Revenue Fu Youwen, the Inspector Censor Bao Zhao and others stood up directly.

"Emperor, this...?" asked Ling Han, the old minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and said, "What is the case?"

This is what the ministers are asking in their hearts.

Such a big case actually broke out without any warning. Moreover, there were so many people involved, the money involved was so huge, and there was also the charge of affair with the Japanese?

What's wrong with the other side of the area?

Zhu Yunxi looked at the memorial in his hand, and his expression was unpredictable. He only smiled faintly, "The first year of Yongchang, the largest case!"

Suddenly, the ministers were shocked again.

Judging from the emperor's tone, he directly gave the case that suddenly broke out!

"Grandpa Emperor once privately lamented that why are corrupt officials in the world killed endlessly!" Zhu Yunxiu's face was still as deep as water, and his voice slowly said, "Today, I can only realize the helplessness of Grandpa Emperor!"

Sending Tie Xuan to Z, implementing the new policy is one of them, and rectifying the powerful and prominent families in Z, is the second. Doing important things should be done, and you should use an iron fist. But unexpectedly, under Tie Xuan's iron fist, so many pests were dug out!

Moreover, what Zhu Yunyou just read was only part of the memorial.

The more than 8 million yuan involved is just based on the review of the maritime merchants and the profits obtained by smuggling in recent years, not including their wealth, land, real estate, and shops.

This does not include the property of the officials involved in the case, and more powerful people will be involved in the future.

There are also those officials involved in the case, and the list reported was just the beginning. In addition to these officials, there are also these officials and businessmen who only see the brokers with fame and fame!

Corruption and degeneration are never personal behavior. But it is a group of people!

"Emperor!" Inspector Chao Zhao said, "Did the central government send someone to such a shocking case?"

"No need!" Zhu Yunxiu put down the memorial and placed it casually in the mezzanine of the imperial case. "The Jinyiwei is in the ground, and Tie Xuan and Jing Qing are also arrested. I can trust them!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers suddenly felt terrified.

The emperor did not use the Ministry of Justice, the inspector, and the three departments of Dali Temple to try this major case, but used the Jinyiwei. What does this mean?

Many people's expressions have changed.

Because when the old man was in power, the Jinyiwei was arrested and investigated, and then more and more people were involved in the case and more and more people were killed.

"Emperor!" Liu Sanwu, the Grand Secretary and the Secretary of the Secretariat, stood up and saluted, "This year is the first year for the emperor to ascend the throne. If there are too many killings, it may be against the harmony of others!"

"The subjects in the world should meet the emperor's rain and dew, just like the emperor..."

"What do you mean is that I shouldn't be the emperor in the first year, and I shouldn't kill people, I should spoil them?" Zhu Yunxiu directly interrupted the other party, and rebuked in a stern tone, "Let me be kind? Why don't they think that this year is my first year to ascend the throne, and I want to give me some face?"

"I don't mean that!" Liu Sanwu hurriedly said that he was an official who had experienced several major cases in the Hongwu Dynasty. Naturally, he knew the temper of the Zhu family. He was afraid that Zhu Yun was like an old man and could not hold back the knife.

"I will not accuse a good person of good people, nor will I let go of bad people!" Zhu Yunxiu looked at him and said something that made all the ministers feel relieved.

Deep down in everyone's heart, what they fear most is that the emperor is like the old man, and he is involved in the trouble of implicating him!

But Zhu Yun's words about the next second immediately made them feel worried again.

"The case in Z is just the beginning, not the end!" Zhu Yunxiu looked around the ministers, "The whole country is implementing new policies, but there are still repeated refusals. From the officialdom to the local area, everyone is the master of powerful and powerful gentry! How can such a place be established without breaking it? "

Suddenly, everyone understood Zhu Yunxi's intention.

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxiu found that among his ministers, Fu Youwen, the Minister of Revenue, frowned and thought deeply.

"What are Fu Aiqing thinking?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

Fu Youwen paused, "Your Majesty, when will these stolen money be handed over to Beijing?" As he said that, he paused again, "The Ministry of Revenue's large warehouse was very empty in the Liaodong war last year!"

"Haha!" Zhu Yunxi smiled, "You are a fan of money! Don't worry, you will be escorted to Beijing and warehousing in a few days. Then you can wait to check the money! And I will tell you that the money involved in the case is not the silver dollar of my Ming Dynasty! But pure silver!"

"Ah!" Fu Youwen was suddenly shocked, and then muttered, "If you calculate this, more than 8 million taels of coins would be 30% more, and the interest on coins would be more than 10 million?"

More than ten million?

It's just Ningbo!

Zhu Yunxiu remembered Tie Xuan's words on the memorial again, and a sentence that made him a little shocking.

"The powerful and powerful gentry in the land are mixed and can be suppressed for a while but not for a lifetime. I believe that after all the matter is completed, those who have bad records from the gentry and noble family will enter the capital for the people! In this way, the people's livelihood in the land will be renewed!"

"In history, it seems that the old man did this to deal with the powerful people over there in his later years! Kill a group of people and move another group of people!"

After thinking in my heart, Zhu Yunxiu spoke to the ministers again, "You don't need to ask too much about this case, I will make a decision!

At this time, Grand Secretary Liu Sanwu said again, "Emperor, next month will be the palace examination for this subject. It involves the country to recruit scholars. I dare not profession. Please tell me!"

"The country's top priority is to recruit scholars, and it's still in Wenhua Hall!" Zhu Yunsheng said, "The Minister of Personnel Zheng Yi, Liu Aiqing, Hanlin Scholar Fang Xiaoru and other eight others are the reviewers!"

"I will obey the order!"

"Today's palace examination, get the questions?" Liu Sanwu said again.

Zhu Yunxiu thought, "Don't be obsessed with Neo-Confucianism, don't talk empty talk. In addition to the eight-legged essay, add some policy arguments such as people's livelihood and economy! The country can't take a lot of nerds, but only those who know it, right?"

"In addition to these, the wars on the frontier and how barbarians in Yunnan, Guizhou and other places are all added!"

"This..." Liu Sanwu was a little embarrassed for a moment, but he did not dare to disobey. "I will go back and think about it for a while, and present the exam questions to the emperor tomorrow!"

"Um!" Zhu Yunsheng nodded.

At this moment, the eunuch of Fengtian Palace foreman Pu Wuyou whispered in, walked to Zhu Yunxiu, and whispered, "Emperor, King Yan is only a hundred miles away from Jing!"

Zhu Di is here!

He came in the end!
Chapter completed!
