The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, except for Sun Chengzong and Zhu Xu, almost all stood up.
Open the salt ban!
Zhu Xu squinted, picked up the teacup in his hand, and glanced at Cao Huachun.
Cao Huachun bowed slightly, raised his head, and looked at the main hall, where the few people who were still standing in place finally fell on Wang Shaohui.
Wang Shaohui immediately understood, and stood up and said: "According to this, the minister impeached Wei Guanghui, an auxiliary minister of the cabinet, accepted bribes from salt merchants, deducted salt leads, conspired with salt merchants, local promotion divisions, and transfer divisions, embezzled salt taxes, and privately moved salt farms, hoping that the emperor would be clear!"
” "Presumptuous!"
Wei Guanghui's face changed greatly, he turned around suddenly, and shouted at Wang Shaohui: "Nonsense, do you know what kind of big crime it is to frame important ministers of the imperial court when the dynasty is in power!"
” Wang Shaohui was not afraid, looked at it as if he was at home, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Dali Temple has received many plaintiffs and transferred them to the Criminal Department, Shuntianfu, which has been preliminarily verified. ” As soon as his voice fell, Ni Wenhuan came out and said: "Back to the emperor, the Criminal Department has arrested a cabinet clerk, and has obtained many clues and evidence from him. ” Zhao Han also stood up, holding a wat board, bowed and said: "Back to the emperor, Shuntianfu got Dali Temple and the Criminal Department to report that he got a salt merchant at the Shengyuan Inn, and confiscated 300,000 taels of silver, 1.3 million taels of silver tickets and a current account book.
This person claimed that he was a descendant of Shen Li, but it has not been verified and has not been reported. ” As soon as the 'Shengyuan Inn' came out, Zhu Xu, who was sitting on the top, obviously felt that the hall was quiet.
His expression was calm, his gaze swept over the ministers, and finally fell on Wei Guanghui.
A cold sweat broke out on Wei Guanghui's old face, and his eyes flickered.
Now that the human and material evidence is in the hands of others, it is useless to quibble.
He was very unwilling in his heart, but he also knew that his reputation was ruined, regardless of the cold sweat on his head, he gritted his teeth and knelt on the ground and said loudly: "Your Majesty, this matter is not done by the ministers alone, but by Fu Changzong, the head of the household department, who threaded through it. ” When these words fell, the hall became even quieter.
Who doesn't know that Fu Changzong is the emperor's own uncle, this Wei Guanghui confessed his guilt in public, and then sued and demanded a lenient punishment, in fact, it is a blatant coercion, wrapped in holy will!
Fu Changzong's expression remained unchanged, and he stood up and said to Zhu Xu: "Emperor Qiqi, this matter is detailed, and the minister has already informed His Royal Highness King Xin. ” King Xin frowned, Fu Changzong did say a few words to him vaguely about this matter, which is also the reason why he asked Ni Wenhuan and Wang Shaohui to investigate secretly, but he didn't expect these two people to be uncovered at this time.
However, since he had already sat down, a wave of anger surged into his chest in his heart, and he stood up and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, the minister does know about this matter, and the minister also ordered the two adults to investigate." ” As soon as King Xin's words came out, everyone in the court gasped in their hearts.
This is, His Royal Highness King Xin is intolerant of the shortcomings of the salt administration, or does he want to use Wei Guanghui to establish his position in the court?
Even Ye Xianggao, Gu Bingqian, Sun Chengzong and others all changed color, and looked at King Xin with vague eyes.
Zhu Youzhen bowed slightly, his expression unchanged, and let the suspicious gaze of the Manchu Dynasty civil and military fall on him.
The corners of Zhu Xu's mouth were slightly upturned, his eyes were cold, and he suddenly shouted: "Come on, remove all official positions of Wei Guanghui, and you can enter the prison, order the East Factory to confiscate the Wei Mansion, and strictly investigate all party members!"
” "Yes!"
Cao Huachun agreed, he restrained Dongchang at the moment, and with a wave of his hand, a group of brocade-clothed guards poured out and dragged Wei Guanghui out.
As soon as Wei Guanghui came out of the palace, some ministers immediately came to their senses and hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the courtiers colluded with the salt merchants to get their hands on it, and they should be severely punished."
It's just that the loss of the salt administration is imminent, and I hope that the emperor will open the salt ban, and order the household department, the local promotion department, and the transfer department as soon as possible to release new salt to stabilize the price of salt and return the people to stability. ” Many people glanced at King Xin, and a few people stood up with similar opinions.
Zhu Xu's stick is still effective, and there are many fewer people who dare to stand up, Ye Xianggao, Gu Bingqian are silent, and Yang Lian does not stand up again.
He smiled quietly, looked at Zhu Youzhen and said, "King Xin, what do you think?"
” Zhu Youzhen came out again, took out the excerpt and said: "The emperor, the ministers have discussed the Outline Salt Law with the cabinet and the ministers of the six ministries, reviewed the pros and cons, and asked the emperor to make a judgment." ” Cao Huachun hurriedly went down and picked it up, and Zhu Xu said lightly: "Read." ” Cao Huachun was already familiar with it, so he picked up the fold and read it.
"There are eight losses in salt administration, one, the loss of salt introduction, two, the loss of promotion, three, the loss of transshipment, and fourth, the loss of salt merchants......"
Zhu Youzhen's excerpt is sprinkled with more than 800 words, most of which are Zhu Xu's meaning, and when it reaches Zhu Youzhen, it is naturally mixed with some private goods.
Zhu Youzhen, Fu Changzong, Zhou Yingqiu, including Zhao Han, Ni Wenhuan and others also know.
But apart from them, the adults in the hall were all speechless in shock.
Listening to the meaning of Wang Zhezi, not only to reorganize the salt field, but also to save the salt introduction of the household department, and then abolish the promotion department, the transfer department, and the hereditary salt households are also exempted.
Hu Ke stood up in the middle of the matter and said loudly, "The minister is against it!"
Salt politics is a matter of great importance, and it affects the whole body, and now that Xia Yan is imminent, don't make a big move!
” The imperial history of the salt patrol is also listed, and he said, "Your Majesty, the salt law has been implemented for more than 200 years, and the ancestral law cannot be tampered with, and most of the officials of the salt administration are hereditary. ” The imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate also came out, and said in a deep voice, "Your Majesty, although there are occasional corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but they are really a minority, the minister thinks that you can't hide the disease and avoid medical treatment, I am in the midst of an eventful autumn, I hope the emperor is cautious, don't act recklessly!"
” Ni Wenhuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, came out and said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with the proposal of the king!"
” Wang Shaohui, the secretary of Dali Temple, also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, the minister seconded the proposal." ” King Xin also had a few people, and they all agreed and seconded the proposal.
Zhu Xu saw that Yang Lian and the others did not speak, so he looked at Gu Bingqian and said, "What does the cabinet think?"
” Gu Bingqian's heart was frightened at the moment, Wei Guanghui was the same party as him, especially accepting bribes from Shen Li's grandson, and not far away Ye Xianggao, who was about to arch him off the stage at any time, stood up with dry lips, and said stubbornly: "The minister agrees with the proposal of the king." ” Wei Guanghui fell, and the cabinet was left with Gu Bingqian and Sun Chengzong, who focused on military affairs, so Gu Bingqian's voice was naturally heavier.
Zhu Xu nodded, turned his head to look at Ye Xianggao, and said with a smile, "Taifu, what do you say?"
” Ye Xianggao had just returned to the court, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
In the court before him, although the Donglin Party was dominant, there were many mountains inside, and all important things attacked each other and made endless noise.
He frowned, this matter is too big, just abolishing the hundreds of years of transshipment division, the promotion of the division will cause a huge shock in the government and the opposition, he stood up, thought for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that the matter of salt administration should be slow rather than urgent, stable and not chaotic. ” Still against.
Zhu Xujaw turned to Yang Lian again, and said, "Mr.
Yang, what do you think?"

” The word "sir" is a kind of honorific title in private, especially the title of the emperor, which naturally means great respect.
But in the court, it's more than just respect.
Yang Lian's heart was agitated, and his face was a little red when he stood up, and he said, "Your Majesty, what do you think......
His Royal Highness Shin King......
There are merits. ” This is neutrality, and neither side is offended.
Zhu Xu nodded, at this point, it was finally a draw.
'It's time. ’ Zhu Xu said secretly in his heart.
His heart fell, and a loud report from the inner servant came from outside the door, "Qi play the emperor, the commander of the Jinyi guard, Luo Yangxing asks to see." ” A smile flashed at the corner of Zhu Xu's mouth, and he said loudly, "Xuan!"
” When Luo Yang saw him, many ministers frowned slightly, and suddenly had a bad premonition in their hearts.
Luo Yangxing strode in, knelt down on one knee and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers are ordered to supervise the salt administration, and they are here to reinvent themselves." ” Cao Huachun walked down briskly and handed over the fold of Luo Yang's sex.
Zhu Xu said lightly: "Read." ” Cao Huachun bowed slightly, opened the excerpt and said, "......
According to the minister's investigation, the transfer department, the lifting department, and the salt works in various places are very corrupt, and there are officials who hide 500,000 yuan of silver, and some salt households buy 100 hectares of land, and the loss of salt tax is all embezzled, and the fire consumption is very small......"
Before Cao Huachun's words were finished, Zhu Xu slapped the table suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "The decree, the abolition of the promotion division, the transfer division, and the hereditary replacement, all of them will be handed over to the cabinet for proper disposal. ” "Yes!"
King Xin, Gu Bingqian, Sun Chengzong and others stood up and bowed down to receive the order.
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were like being struck with a hammer, and they were choked and speechless.
After cleaning up the affairs of Yanzheng, Zhu Xu let out a long breath, glanced at Tiao Chen in front of him, and said, "The second item, pass." ” Cao Huachun straightened up and said loudly: "Spread Zhu Changrun, Zhu Cunshu, Zhu Xianxuan, and Zhu Yipai to meet you!"
” Cao Huachun's voice fell, and the courtiers reacted that the matter of the salt administration had already settled.
King Xin breathed a long sigh of relief, and quietly glanced at Ni Wenhuan, Wang Shaohui and the others behind him, exchanging glances faintly.
Gu Bingqian secretly looked at Zhu Xu above, there was a slight cold sweat on his head, and he was already secretly wondering in his heart, whether to deal with the aftermath as soon as possible after the next dynasty, or to enter the palace as soon as possible to ask for guilt.
Sun Chengzong squinted, and the corners of his mouth hooked a meaningful smile.
As for Yang Lian, he was relieved from the bottom of his heart.
He was caught between salt politics, righteousness, and the teacher-student friendship with the emperor, and now he has finally survived.
The other adults, although some of them were still extremely unwilling, were already in the boat, and they had no choice but to continue the court discussion.
In the complicated minds of the courtiers, King Ping led Zhu Cunshu, Zhu Xianxuan, and Zhu Yipai to wear their respective title court clothes and strode out of the door.
"Minister, Zhu Changrun (Zhu Cunshu, Zhu Xianxuan, Zhu Yipai) to meet the emperor, long live our emperor!"
Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, looking like his family should be kind: "Let's all be flat." ” King Ping also raised his hand with a smile on his face and said, "It's the emperor." ” Zhu Xianxuan took a step forward, held up the excerpt and said: "The three kings of Qin, Jin, and Lu are playing, and the treasury of the court is empty, and I am willing to cut the silver of the three kings, and offer ten thousand taels of gold and silver to solve the difficulties of the court." ” As soon as Zhu Xianxuan's words fell, the ministers in the court suddenly buzzed.
Since the beginning of Taizu, the vassal king has always been the biggest hidden danger of the imperial court, but with the continuous changes, it has become the largest silver item in the imperial court, and the burden is getting bigger and bigger, and it has never been alleviated in the slightest.
Now that the three kings are actually on such an excerpt, isn't it bullying the emperor to be young, and when he is talking nonsense, he harbors evil intentions?
Cao Huachun took the excerpt and handed it to Zhu Xu, Zhu Xu swept his eyes, his face did not move, but he secretly said in his heart, "I don't know how many excerpts these three have prepared, and Zhu Xianxuan must have put a lot of thought into choosing this one......
After reading it, Zhu Xu nodded to Zhu Xianxuan very happily, turned to King Ping and said, "Uncle Huang, what do you think of this matter?"
” King Ping stood up from the side and said, "Your Majesty, the ministers have also contacted the princes of the clan inside and outside the capital, and they all intend to cut the silver to relieve the difficulties of the court and share the worries of the emperor. ” Zhu Xu smiled even more, and said, "The clan is the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and I am very pleased to have such an idea." ” After thinking about it, he looked at Zhu Youzhen again, and said, "Brother Xinwang, what do you think, if it is reduced, how much is appropriate?"
” Zhu Xianxuan stood there, looking at Zhu Xu quietly, and then looked at King Xiang Xin.
King Xin stood up, thinking about his own situation, and said in a deep voice: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that it is thirty percent." ” Zhu Xianxuan's face changed slightly, just looking at the clan's silver, it is indeed not much, but the palace has a large population, and when it is superimposed, it is a considerable amount of silver, and it will disappear by thirty percent at once, I am afraid that the princes of the whole world will not be able to accept it!
Zhu Xianxuan frowned, stepped forward and said: "Back to the emperor, outside the capital, it is not as good as the capital, as far as the minister knows, Yicheng should be the limit." ” Zhu Xu frowned, turned his head to look at King Ping, and said, "Uncle Ping, what do you think?"
” King Ping's expression moved slightly, this Zhu Xu did not communicate with him, he looked at Zhu Xianxuan and then looked at Zhu Youzhen, and then looked up at Zhu Xu, seeing him smiling, his heart moved, and hurriedly said: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks it's okay."
As for me alone, minus 50%, too, can also feed. ” Zhu Xianxuan's face changed slightly, and then he secretly felt that he had made a mistake, and he gave the letter king a clear explanation of the specific reduction amount before, and now he can't refute it.
He looked at King Shin with a cold face and forced down his breath.
But it was inevitable that he would be apprehensive in his heart, and he would play and cut the clan by 30% in one go, just afraid that all the vassal kings in the world would hate him and his father to death!
"Well, then let's do it," Zhu Xu smiled very sincerely, looked at King Ping and said: "Uncle Pingwang, please sort out the Chen, and the Zongren Mansion, the Household Department, and the King of Xin will discuss it specifically, and then it will be issued to the world." ” "Yes."
A cadre of people came out one after another to bow down and receive the order.
Zhu Xianxuan looked at the happy King Xin, his heart swelled with evil anger, he looked up at the little emperor who was not in his eyes, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the mountains and the west have been in drought recently, and the victims have been in turmoil one after another. ” "The minister agrees!"
As soon as Zhu Xianxuan's voice fell, there was a royal history coming out, and said: "Your Majesty, now that smoke is everywhere, the prince of the clan has nothing to rely on, and I hope to increase the number of guards by 500 to ensure everything!"
” Two more followed, and although their voices were vague, they both supported this argument.
Some people support, naturally there is opposition, especially the Ming court, which has always tried its best to contain the vassal king, and naturally will not allow it easily, and a cadre of people has stood up and fiercely opposed it.
Quarreling and quarreling, after a while, Zhu Xu looked at Sun Chengzong and said, "Old Sun Ge, what do you think?"

” Although there are certain guards in the palace, it is the responsibility of the local guards and military departments to protect the city and sweep away the chaotic people.
Sun Chengzong stood up, his face was like a star, heroic, and said loudly: "Back to the emperor, the minister thinks that the mountains and west are quite stable, and there is not much war.
The guards in various places are fully equipped with armor, and there are large cities as obstacles, and the ministers do not think that there is a threat to the stability of the clan. ” Zhu Xianxuan glanced at Sun Chengzong and said, "Back to the emperor, Chengdu, Du, Chong, and Qingdu have fallen several times, and my father and others are also taking precautions, and the five hundred guards do not need to be supported by the imperial court, and we should bear the responsibility of the palace." ” Sun Chengzong listened to Zhu Xianxuan's words, pondered slightly, and then raised his head and said: "Your Majesty, the safety of the clan is indeed important. ” Sun Chengzong's voice fell, not only Zhu Xianxuan and the others, but even King Ping and King Xin's faces changed slightly.
Sun Chengzong's words were too poisonous, he meant not only not to expand the guards for the vassal kings, but also to dig out their original guards and return them to the military department for mobilization!
Even Zhu Xu on the dragon chair narrowed his eyes, pursed his lips forcibly, and held back a smile.
This was not taught by him, it was completely Sun Chengzong's own idea.
This is also completely in line with the tradition of the Ministry of War, which attempts to include all the soldiers and horses in the world.
