Chapter 0050 Trial of the three divisions, the crime of corruption!
Zhu Youxiao did not have the methods of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di, and his political methods may not be as good as those of Emperor Jiajing.
This person has some true temperament to some extent.
However, this does not mean that he does not understand what politics is.
He could see that the Donglin Party members were not useful, he also knew that he needed to be wary of Hou Jin, and he even knew how to use Wei Zhongxian to achieve his own goals.
However, Zhang Haogu's words today really made Zhu Youxiao understand something.
As the emperor, if he wants to achieve his goals, it won't work if he always hides behind.
To scare these bastards, you can't hide, you must stand up and use thunderous means to scare them.
It's not that power cannot be played with, but sometimes he, the emperor, needs to stand up.
If your emperor doesn't stand up and take responsibility, who do you expect to work for you?
The best negative example is Chongzhen.
When the emperor doesn't stick to the pot, and even thinks about throwing the pot away, you will completely lose the people around you who can be used.
When you are the boss, you have to stand up and stand up.
Zhu Youxiao returned to the imperial city with his worries.
Zhang Haogu smiled at Wei Zhongxian: "Brother, the evidence must be prepared. Our emperor is going to kill someone with a knife!"
Wei Zhongxian chuckled, with a bit of murderous intent exuding in his eyes: "We understand, brother, don't worry, I promise to let these bastards see the methods of the factory guards!"
Later, Zhang Haogu coaxed Zhu Qiqi to sleep.
This little girl has been frightened during this period and is prone to nightmares when sleeping. After comforting her,
Zhang Haogu simply wrote something on the side.
It's written in a dictionary.
At the very least, it must accommodate three thousand words.
Traditional Chinese characters are laborious, but simplified characters are more comfortable and conducive to the spread of culture.
It wasn't until late at night that Zhang Haogu turned off the lights and took a rest.
The next day, Qianqing Palace.
Zhu Youxiao went to court.
As an emperor, although Zhu Youxiao did not often go to court for more than ten years like Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli, he was still the type who did not go to court very often.
Mainly just annoying.
Most of the discussions in the court were about trivial matters.
Really big things are basically discussed in the cabinet.
The cabinet discusses major national affairs, while the upper court discusses trivial matters.
Going to court?
Did you listen to the nonsense of civil and military officials?
However, Zhu Youxiao went to court today.
All civil and military officials were quite surprised.
He hasn't been to court for several months. This dog emperor has changed his gender?
Sitting on the dragon chair, Zhu Youxiao had a more chilling air about him.
After taking a look at everyone, before Zhu Youxiao could speak, a censor jumped out: "Your Majesty, I have Han Lin's original memorial!"
"oh?"
Zhu Youxiao raised his eyelids slightly and said calmly: "What's the matter!"
"I want to take part in Wei Zhongxian's arrest of Li Changgeng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Works, and put them into prison without any reason. The Ministry of Husbandry and the Ministry of Works have been thrown into chaos. I sincerely ask my lord to punish the eunuchs clearly!"
"Are the accounts in the household department in chaos?"
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "I see that the accounts of this household department are quite clear!"
During this period, the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was vacant, but there could be no chaos. Zhu Youxiao temporarily asked Zhang Haogulai to be in charge of the Ministry of Revenue. Zhang Haogulai was basically in charge of all matters in the Ministry of Revenue. The Ministry of Works could be leaderless for the time being, but
, if this household department is not good, if there is a problem with money, food, and currency, the world will be in chaos.
After Zhang Haogu experienced the initial panic, he quickly took control of the household department. While accompanying Zhu Youxiao on the project, he was still in charge of the household department.
After rebirth, the memory is greatly increased.
Basically, you can achieve photographic memory.
He basically understood the imperial court's annual tax revenue, how much money the Ministry of Revenue had, and where to spend money. Secondly, while Zhang Haogu was in charge of the Ministry of Revenue, he also trained a group of bookboys who were good at mathematics, so that
They do the math.
The accounts department is not in chaos, and the accounts are actually clearer.
However, Zhang Haogu was still attacked one after another by a group of censors, who believed that he was trying to take over his duties.
However, Zhang Haogu did not take these impeachments seriously.
As long as my face is thick enough, and as long as the emperor is on my side, your superiors will not be able to harm me at all.
Han Lin wanted to speak, but Zhu Youxiao interrupted Han Lin.
"I asked Jin Yiwei to investigate!"
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "I am the one who sent them to prison and it has nothing to do with Wei Zhongxian!"
Han Lin was stunned.
All civil and military officials were also sluggish.
Why did Zhu Youxiao suddenly take the blame today?
"Since all the ministers want to talk about it, then I will give you a good talk, people come!"
Two guards came forward!
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Bring Li Changgeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of Industry, to me!"
After a while.
Li Changgeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of Industry, were also brought to Qianqing Palace.
Although these two people were sentenced to prison, they really didn't endure much hardship.
On the one hand, they were recruited quickly, but on the other hand, Zhang Haogu still reminded them that the method of torture to extract confessions was too low, and they were kept in a dark room without being allowed to talk to them or allowed to sleep.
This method is much more severe than all kinds of torture, and there are still no scars on the body, but the spirit is a little haggard.
But, are you mentally exhausted?
How many people are not mentally exhausted when they are arrested and imprisoned?
When the ministers saw the two men, although they looked haggard, there were no signs of torture on their bodies, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
"Li Changgeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of Industry!"
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "I ask you, you said that you want me to spend one million taels of silver to repair the three main halls. I calculated this amount to be a total of 700,000 taels. I gave you one million taels of silver."
One million taels and three hundred thousand taels are still being used to enrich your own pockets, do you agree?"
Ye Xianggao immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that according to the ancestral system, whenever there is a major or difficult case, the three divisions will be tried together. The chiefs of the three divisions, namely the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, the Minister of Dali Temple, and the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu, will jointly hear the case!
"
Zhang Haogu glanced at Ye Xianggao, but murmured in his heart, ask Zhu Yuanzhang if he would rather let the factory guards interrogate him or let the three divisions interrogate him?
Officials are protecting each other, and if I were to have your three divisions review it, you still don’t know what problems might arise.
Ye Xianggao had a righteous expression on his face, and he couldn't help but glance at Wei Zhongxian and then at Zhang Haogu from the corner of his eyes.
Now the Eunuch Party has begun to take shape, vaguely confronting the Donglin Party, and this Zhang Haogu seems to be the fighter of the Eunuch Party, leading Emperor Apocalypse everywhere to toss and demolish buildings, but this household department happened to be Zhang Haogu's
It still works well in my hand.
To be honest, Ye Xianggao was a little impressed.
The last time I was tricked, it was probably Zhang Haogu who did it.
He is the chief assistant bachelor of the cabinet. At this time, he must stand up. Behind him is the Donglin Party and countless ministers. After so many years, various rules have been formed. If
If you break some of the 'rules', I'm afraid countless heads will fall to the ground starting tomorrow.
Ye Xianggao also cursed secretly in his heart.
Li Changgeng, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Chen Daoheng, the Minister of Industry, are definitely pig teammates, the kind that cannot be carried no matter how hard they are carried.
What the hell do you think about doing things like accounting?
Can you actually lose 300,000 yuan?
Can all the calculations be wrong?
Do you really think the emperor is a fool?
Ye Xianggao felt very tired, but at this time, he had to stand up again.
He is the leader of the ministers.
These two are our own people.
Can't help!
"There will be a joint trial among the three divisions, right?"
Zhu Youxiao nodded and said: "Since this is the law of our ancestors, I should also follow it. If this is the case, then let's follow what the ministers say."
The ministers breathed a sigh of relief and were a little confused. What did Zhu Youxiao mean? He allowed the three departments to review it so easily?
Then, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Punishment, Zhao Nanxing, the Censor of Zuodu, and Pan Yunyi, the Young Minister of Dali Temple!"
Three people came out: "I'm here!"
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "You guys go ahead and do the trial. Today, you will do the trial in front of me. If you can't come up with a result, then don't go to court!"
All civil and military officials were in an uproar.
What kind of trouble is this Zhu Youxiao going to make?
