The emperor highly praised the young master Yuan Sutai.
So, when dealing with the opposition, it is natural that the Holy Judgment must be taken seriously.
Xie Jin, who had not spoken during the entire court meeting today, finally stood up.
He has a chance to become the first chief auxiliary of the empire.
It's just because Xie Jin knew that Mu Xiu was bound to be destroyed by Lin Feng. At that time, when the spread of Xinxue was gaining momentum, if he were to be the chief minister of the cabinet, I'm afraid those people who were already resentful would definitely be
To attack in groups.
However, as the second assistant in the cabinet, responsible for the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Industry, Xie Jin has a position in the cabinet that does not belong to the chief assistant Ren Hengtai.
Especially when Gao Yangzhi, another cabinet minister in the cabinet, was still his student.
Xie Jin walked out of the train.
As his figure moved around, people's eyes began to follow him.
Xie Jin is the leader of Xinxue.
He is also the biggest supporter of the New Deal in the government.
At this time, no one would think that Xie Jin was interceding for Ji Kai, an opponent of the New Deal, and begging the emperor for forgiveness.
In fact, Xie Jin really had no intention of interceding for Ji Kai.
He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has always had laws. At the beginning of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court formulated the Ming Law. All the merits and demerits of the subjects in the world will be determined by the law.
This year, Your Majesty has issued a decree. When the Grandson of the Ming Dynasty leaves the capital, it will be as if Your Majesty is visiting the place in person. Wherever Your Highness touches, all officials, gentry, and common people will respect the Grandson's orders.
Wherever His Highness is located, the promotion or demotion of officials shall be decided by His Highness.
I wonder if His Highness, during his northern tour of Henan Province this time, has the right to investigate the check dams built under the supervision of the governor’s office of the river channel and reduce the causes of dam failure?”
Xie Jin's words exceeded everyone's expectations after all.
He did not add insult to injury to Ji Kai, nor did he intercede for him. The second minister of the empire simply asked the emperor a question that already had a clear answer.
Zhu Yuanzhang said softly: "I have a will."
Xie Jin nodded, bowed and said, "I understand."
After saying that, he quietly returned to the train.
Ji Kai, who was kneeling aside, felt his heart in his throat as Xie Jin came out.
Everyone knows that if Xie Jin, the second assistant, asks the emperor to punish him severely, there is a high probability that he will get permission from the emperor.
Just now.
Xie Jin asked a question and went back like this?
Ji Kai was a little confused and didn't know how things would develop.
However.
Just the next moment.
Zou Xueyu, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, stood up.
"I, in response to Zou Xueyu, the magistrate of Tianfu, please report to your majesty."
"allow."
After receiving the emperor's permission, Zou Xueyu's eyes suddenly condensed, with a ruthless look on his face: "Your Majesty, the imperial court has the Ming Dynasty Law, and your Majesty also has an edict for His Highness Taisun. Now His Highness is patrolling Henan Road in the north, and he will meet you on his own.
Investigate the causes of things that happen in rivers and find out the causes and consequences.
This is a truth that everyone in the court knows. Now, the Ministry of Industry has given the matter to Ji Kai, who clearly knows the laws of the Ming Dynasty, knows His Majesty's will, and knows His Royal Highness the Emperor Taisun is patrolling the north of Henan Province. Yet he still acted recklessly during the important ceremony of today's court meeting.
Discuss the impeachment incident in Henan Province.
I believe that what Ji Kai did was because he had no regard for the king's law and no regard for his superiors. It was a crime of rebellion and disobedience!
I would like to ask Your Majesty, for the sake of the fairness of the Ming Dynasty laws and the integrity of the court, you should severely punish the Ministry of Works and give the matter to Ji Kai in order to set the record straight!"
If everything hadn't happened at today's court meeting, people would have thought that Zou Xueyu had discussed it with Xie Jin in advance.
Looking at this pair of master and disciple who cooperated with each other tacitly.
Ji Kai felt sad in his heart.
I'm going to be finished.
From the original impeachment without warrant, it turned into disobedience.
Plop.
Ji Kai raised his hands high, bowed heavily and knelt on the ground.
"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
Zhu Gaochi snorted coldly from the side: "When the charges are confirmed, all the guilty officials will shout the word "unjust"! Ji Kai, who clings to impeachment at the court meeting, is like Zhou Xing in the Wu Zhou Dynasty, who came with handsome ministers and cruel officials. The Ming Dynasty
It was not the case of Wu Zhou, where rewards and punishments are clearly defined, and His Majesty cannot be deceived by others when he rebuilds mountains and rivers. The Ming Dynasty attaches great importance to laws and severe punishments, but it should never allow the Internet to fabricate accusations of loyalty."
Ji Kai opened his mouth, but found that everyone's eyes changed when they looked at him.
Even those who had drank together yesterday had a strange look in their eyes at this moment.
Tang Li even shouted directly at Qi Zhu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, and Jiang Yi, the Censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
"I wonder if the Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate have any legal rulings on such crimes of rebellion and rebellion?"
Qi Zhu and Jiang Yi, who were named for questioning, had expressions on their faces as ugly as if they had eaten shit.
Jiang Yi snorted lowly and did not reply.
Qi Zhu was unable to avoid it.
He is the Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and he is in charge of the state's laws and punishments.
Qi Zhu had already seen the emperor's eyes staring at him. With a dark face, he replied in a deep voice: "Resisting the decree is a crime of treason and should be punished..."
"Execute the Nine Clans?" Before Qi Zhu could finish his words, Zhu Gaochi exclaimed in his voice, and immediately shook his head: "It's also because of the court affairs. Your Majesty has always been kind and lenient to his ministers. Why did Qi Shangshu want to punish him?"
The nine Jikai clans?"
This guy must be crazy!
He is here to be funny!
Qi Zhu's eyes widened and he stared at the burly Prince Yan in front of him.
Zhu Yuanzhang held back his laughter and waved his hand: "You kid is fooling around!"
With one sentence, the atmosphere that Zhu Gaochi was deliberately trying to squeeze Qi was broken.
Afterwards, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, lowered his head to look at Ji Kai who was lying on the ground, and said coldly: "I don't care about the reason, and I don't want to let more blood happen in the court today. I have the authority to demote you and take away your official position."
I will never accept him for his fame."
There was a bang.
The Ministry of Works was so shocked that Ji Kai completely collapsed on the ground.
The surrounding officials also had fear in their eyes.
The emperor's holy judgment was more serious than killing Ji Kai's entire family.
The whole Ji family, for generations to come, will not be accepted by the imperial court because of Ji Kai alone.
Either do business or farm.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And more importantly, this is the will of the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
If there were no accidents, even future emperors would probably not pardon his descendants.
Ji Kai, who was lying limply on the ground, twitched twice.
Following this, the people who were close to him could not help but frown and cover their mouths and noses.
Zhu Gaochi looked sarcastic and waved his hand: "Someone, drag him out of the imperial city!"
On the other side, Zhu Shangbing, who had been standing under the Fengtian Gate watching the play, suddenly became energetic.
He actually came over personally with two big Han generals holding golden melons.
There is no need for the emperor to give orders.
Zhu Shangbing hummed and said, "Put it up and drag it out."
Two big Han generals, one on the left and one on the right, lifted Ji Kai up with golden melons crossed in their hands. They pushed forward with a little force, and Ji Kai, who was as limp as mud, was dragged to the ground and sent outside the palace.
.
In the blink of an eye, the time when a stick of tea is fragrant.
In front of Fengtian Gate, it was already empty.
The court meeting was ruined by the turmoil caused by the former Ministry of Industry and Industry.
Some of the officials were frightened, some were excited, and each of them left the palace in different ways.
To the north and south of Inner Wulong Bridge, only the palace servants who were cursing and greeting the eighteenth generation of Ji Kai's ancestors were left, carrying buckets to wash away the long traces.
Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had not seen the two great-grandsons of the emperor all morning, had already found himself holding two little babies in his arms, one in his left hand and one in his right hand, laughing heartily after he came back.
The old man is teasing his grandson.
Zhu Biao was a little helpless. He thought about it carefully and found that he, as a grandfather, seemed to have never held those two little babies a few times.
I felt a little different in my heart for no reason.
Zhu Biao felt that he should find something for the old man to do.
He opened his mouth and said, "What Brother Chi and the tax bureau found out was that a large local businessman cleared the land of his second son, divided the land into acres, bribed local officials, and scaled down the measurements. I'm afraid this is not an isolated case. You, today,
It doesn’t seem to have been dealt with.”
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at the prince, and languidly handed the little baby in his arms, which was trying to grab his beard, into the arms of the aunt in the palace.
He opened his mouth and said, "I think I have raided a lot of people's houses in the past two years. Even so, those people still dared to do this. It shows that they had long expected that the court would know about it, but they still did it."
"Money and silk touch people's hearts."
Zhu Biao muttered in a low voice, feeling a little nameless tiredness in his heart.
If people in the world could be less selfish, 99% of things in the world would be easier to handle.
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Brother Chi did a good job. Let him lead the tax office to investigate, and I will remember everything clearly!"
The emperor suddenly became a little angry.
Zhu Biao glanced lightly.
Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "Money! That's all my money! That's all the court's money!"
While cursing, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were already looking at the two little babies being held by his grandma.
These are the family fortunes that must be left to these little babies.
Zhu Biao was stunned for a moment and said in a low voice: "If we don't investigate now, is it because we can wait until the matter on Henan Road is cleared up before discussing it?"
"Prince."
Zhu Yuanzhang called out in a low voice, and he slowly sat on the couch beside him.
Zhu Biao took two steps forward, bowed and said, "My son and I are here."
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be a little sleepy. He squinted his eyes slightly and leaned on the couch: "Our Ming Dynasty is too big and there are too many people hiding in the dark. Since there is a chance this time, let all these people come out. Let's
You and I can also see clearly who are there."
At the end of the sentence, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became smaller and smaller.
At the end, my eyes were completely closed.
Zhu Biao raised his head, silently looked at the old man who was already sleeping soundly, stepped back carefully, and did not straighten up until he left the palace.
no doubt.
The old man started to play games again.
This scene made the long-fuzzy memories in Zhu Biao's mind become clear again.
It seemed to be the same when the old man dealt with Huaiyou's group of veterans who had contributed to the founding of the country.
He gave opportunity and time.
In the end, people who had thought of it or who hadn't thought of it all jumped out.
It was not until the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu that the turmoil gradually subsided.
Things in Henan Road are not simple.
This is what Zhu Biao has always known. Pan Deshan is a capable minister and a person who can do things. Judging from the memorials submitted from all sides, Zhu Biao has never seen him go down the river embankment several times.
There must be a reason behind the accident on the river, and there may be someone behind it.
In addition to the problems discovered on Shanxi Road this time.
Zhu Biao, who had already walked out of the Qianqing Palace, couldn't help but look back to the northwest.
"There can be no chaos in the northwest!"
In the Wenyuan Pavilion, Xu Yungong opened his mouth to set the tone and glanced at everyone present.
There are quite a few people in the cabinet at the moment.
Except for Ren Hengtai, Xie Jin and Xu Yungong himself.
Six other people, Zhu Gaochi, Zhai Shan, Xia Yuanji, Zou Xueyu, Tang Li and Chang Sen, were present.
Zhu Gaochi said: "The most important thing at the border is military morale. I believe that the cabinet should give priority to stabilizing military morale. The temperature in the north has cooled down and winter is about to begin. Many things from the imperial court are still on the way and have not been delivered."
Ren Hengtai looked up at Xia Yuanji.
Xia Yuanji immediately understood.
He is now the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, and Yu Xin, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance, is about to go to Yingzhou to serve as the governor of the fourth province. And he was called to the cabinet today, and the general meaning can be guessed.
Xia Yuanji said: "Cotton coats and cotton have been shipped before autumn, and they will be delivered to the border officers one after another this month. Food and grass, however, have to be shipped everywhere. From Jiaozhi Road to Peiping
That section of the Mansion... we still have to wait until summer next year before it can be fully connected."
Xie Jin nodded and said: "The two places are separated from each other in the north and south, so the court can have this time to prepare."
Zhai Shan opened his mouth and said: "Mahamu, the envoy of Tamerlane, the brother of Wala Meng, has returned. Fan Chong, the European Supervisor, accompanied the team to see him off. After that, he discussed the mutual trade with our country. However, the local and central government had to first
Make your choice. Once His Highness Taisun resolves the matter on Henan Road, you can continue your northern patrol and arrive at the border in winter."
After he finished speaking, several people present looked at Zhai Shan.
What happened in Fengyang City, and issues related to the White Lotus Sect and Shanxi merchants, were not known to everyone in the court.
Before that, Zhai Shan only knew that the crippled man might have been abducted by the White Lotus Sect.
As for more details and disposal, he didn't know.
Zhu Gaochi said: "Winter is not a good time to discuss mutual trade. Maybe Taisun will wait until spring starts tomorrow and the snow on the grassland melts before discussing this matter."
Zhai Shan saw the difference here and nodded silently.
Tang Li said: "For now, let's wait until the court receives the news from Henan Road. I think it won't be long before the truth comes out."
Everyone nodded.
During the whole process, no one mentioned Ji Kai, who was severely punished today and would never be hired again, and no one paid attention to Yu Xin, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Wang Jun, the Minister of Industry, who were leaving tomorrow.
There is not so much love in Yingtian City.
People come and go, it's none of your business, just hang it up high.
At this time, Ren Hengtai said in a low voice: "Zhai Butang is going to join the cabinet, and Xia Shilang will probably be promoted to the cabinet. The new policy of the imperial court is now at a critical moment, and I hope you will work hard to accompany it."
The chief minister opened his mouth and placed his trust in the New Deal.
Everyone stood up one after another.
"It's true that I had my wish, but fortunately I did not disgrace my destiny."
