Su Zhenting cupped his hands and said: "In this way, we can not only ensure that similar mistakes will not happen again in the future, but also ensure to the greatest extent that every memorial is made after careful consideration by both the East Palace and the cabinet before making a decision.
As far as the East Palace is concerned, it’s all a good thing.”
Su Zhenting's plan was barely acceptable to both Li Chen and Zhao Xuanji.
The premise is that they don't want to have a decisive battle in this court.
The time has not come yet.
"My lord, I have no objection."
Zhao Xuanji said firmly.
He was a little frustrated.
Originally, he planned to use the rebellion in Xishan Province to confuse Li Chen and give up sending troops to North Korea.
But not only did this plan fail, it also gave the cabinet the most important power of approving memorials, without adding an extra layer of control from the East Palace. This was tantamount to stealing a chicken but losing a lot of rice.
Li Chen and Su Zhenting looked at each other, each hiding the satisfaction in their eyes deep in their hearts.
Li Chen waved his sleeves and robe and said, "Come here and draw up the decree!"
"Tao Rui, the chief minister of Xishan Province, was corrupt and derelict in his duties. He failed to handle the rebellion well and fled before fighting. His crime is so heinous that it is difficult to forgive him. If the order is passed, Tao Rui will be dragged out of the Meridian Gate and immediately beheaded. The nine Yi tribes will be executed."
"All of Yiying's family property will be confiscated and the money collected will not be put into the national treasury, but will be used directly for disaster relief for the people of Xishan Province."
"In addition, this is the greatest task that cannot be done by Tao Rui alone. The Ministry of Civil Affairs, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate assisted the Dongchang Jinyiwei and immediately entered the Xishan Province to investigate. All the officials involved, regardless of their position, were captured.
, after the joint trial of the three divisions, those who should be interrogated and executed should be interrogated and executed, and those who should be confiscated should be confiscated."
"There is also the Commander-in-Chief of the Xishan Provincial Commander-in-Chief, who failed to suppress the rebellion, which led to the sudden expansion of the rebel army. It is hard to escape the blame. He should be dismissed immediately and investigated. The crime committed will be dealt with according to the law."
Looking at Zhao Xuanji, Li Chen said coldly: "Master Chief Assistant, is my handling of this matter still satisfactory?"
Zhao Xuanji's face twitched and he gritted his teeth and said, "There is nothing wrong with it."
Li Chen nodded and said: "Very good."
"However, the situation in Xishan Province is critical, and the local government cannot be without someone in charge for a day. I have proposed that Xu Changqing, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, take over the post of Xishan Administrative Envoy."
As soon as Zhao Xuanji said these words, Xu Changqing's face turned pale. He almost couldn't help pointing at Zhao Xuanji's nose and scolding him for being cruel.
It is certainly a good thing to be able to jump from the position of Minister of Revenue to being in charge of a province.
It can even be said that a watershed has been crossed.
But Xu Changqing had already determined to stay in Beijing and had no intention of going anywhere.
More importantly, where is Xishan Province now?
The disaster there was the worst. You can tell from Tao Rui's words just now. They were almost dead, and more than half of the population was gone. What's more important is that there is a rebellion right now.
He is a Beijing official and has no relatives. The entire province will be interrogated by the Third Division and the Dongchang Jinyi Guards. Who can help him then?
This is a sinkhole, and whoever goes there will die.
Zhao Xuanji couldn't move the prince, so he had to cut off his wings first.
Xu Changqing did not dare to speak at this time and could only look at Li Chen helplessly.
Li Chen, on the other hand, heard Zhao Xuanji's words and refused without thinking.
"No, Xu Changqing has been working in the Ministry of Revenue. Now the treasury is empty and the work of the Ministry of Revenue is heavy, so we cannot transfer him."
Just as Zhao Xuanji was about to speak, Li Chen said first, "I already have a candidate for the new chief envoy of Xishan Province. Zhao Heshan, the magistrate of Hejian County, is worthy of this post."
