Zhu Xu listened to Zhu Youzhen's words, not surprised, and said, "Is there anything else?"
” Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Xu's expression and said cautiously: "Your Majesty, the adults of the outer court, I hope you will collect your troops as soon as possible and restore the people's livelihood." ” Zhu Xu was very helpless in his heart, Nurhachi had half a life left, and there were only a few months left before Huang Taiji came to power, and there were only a few months left in the battle of Ningjin, if he didn't train his troops as soon as possible, he would fall into the quagmire of fighting on both sides in the future.
But he had no way to explain these to Zhu Youzhen, so he groaned and said, "I know, continue to speak." ” Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Xu's expression was calm, not like he was angry, so he said: "All localities have commanded the division to jointly play, accusing the military department of embezzling military power and wantonly recruiting with bad intentions. ” Zhu Xu nodded, at present, the military reform of the coastal province has been completed, and the next step is to advance inward 6, but even if there is an army of 300,000 plus Sun Chengzong's secondary auxiliary, it may not be able to go smoothly, and he has to secretly assist and use all kinds of obscure means.
Zhu Youzhen looked at Zhu Xu, saw him pondering, and said, "The vassal kings from all over the country played a game, impeached Sun Chengzong for bullying the clan and embezzling the government soldiers, and the ministers asked the emperor to punish him severely." ” Zhu Xu looked at him, smiled slightly, and said, "Well, I have also received the transcript, tell me what is said in various places." ” Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Xu was really not angry or annoyed, but he really looked like he could listen to the words, so he began to narrate seriously and persuaded quietly.
The two of them were talking here, and Ni Wenhuan and Wang Shaohui hurriedly entered the palace to see Zhu Xu.
Cao Huachun rushed over, looked at the two of them and said, "Two adults, what happened when you entered the palace so late?"
” Ni Wenhuan's face was solemn, and he said: "Father-in-law, the people of the Criminal Department sent to Jiang and Xi by the Criminal Department were all killed overnight, and there are still documents from Jiang and Xi to the Criminal Department. ” Wang Shaohui also stepped forward and said, "Father-in-law, the courtyard where the people of Dali Temple live is also on fire, and all of them are in trouble. ” Cao Huachun's expression also changed, these people all have the criminal department, the documents of Dali Temple are in their bodies, and they are all in the big city, and it is difficult for ordinary bandits to approach at all, except for the local yamen 'unintentionally', there is no other reason at all.
Cao Huachun groaned, pulled over a chamberlain and whispered a few words, and after the chamberlain hurriedly ran away, he said to the two, "Two adults, the emperor is talking to King Xin in the cabinet, and I will take you to report directly to King Xin." ” The two of them looked at Cao Huachun's heart and said, "Okay, let's go, this matter can't be delayed." ” Cao Huachun also knew that he took the two of them to the cabinet without hurrying.
Zhu Xu was listening to Zhu Youzhen's words, and now the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military affairs, except for his and Gu Bingqian's people, were basically surrounded by Ye Xianggao and others, and then gathered around Zhu Youzhen.
From his mouth, one can hear the specific thoughts of the ministers.
A chamberlain hurriedly came in and whispered a few words in Zhu Xu's ear.
Zhu Xu's eyes narrowed, looking at the dark and secluded door, his face was gloomy, and he exhaled secretly.
Eventually, some people couldn't hold back the demonstration. ’ Zhu Youzhen didn't know why, and continued: "Your Majesty, governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh, you must not rush rashly, and you must be ......cautious in your priorities."
As he was talking, Cao Huachun led Ni Wenhuan and Wang Shaohui in, and the two of them stepped forward at the same time and said, "Your Majesty, the prince, the minister has something important to report." ” Zhu Xu looked at the two of them and didn't speak, and his heart was already thinking.
Zhu Youzhen saw that Zhu Xu didn't speak, so he said: "The two adults are flat, what happened at such a late hour?"
” The two got up, and Ni Wenhuan said: "Back to the prince, at the same time, dozens of officials from the Criminal Department and Dali Temple stationed in Jiang and West were all killed overnight, and the Jiang and West Senators sent a letter to the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, asking to verify the identities of these 'bandits'. ” Zhu Youzhen stood up violently and said in a deep voice: "You mean, Jiang and Xi deliberately killed the members of the imperial court?"
” Both of them had solemn faces, quietly glanced at Zhu Xu, and nodded heavily.
Jiang and Xi did this, obviously to demonstrate to the court and the emperor!
This is only for Jiang and Xi, and it is impossible to say that other political secretaries will take similar actions soon.
Once all the places oppose it, the court will fall into an embarrassing passivity.
Zhu Youzhen's face changed brightly, and he also sensed the seriousness of the matter.
Jiang and Xi blatantly provoked the imperial court so blatantly, which showed that the local authorities had the confidence to resist the imperial court, and they were sure that the imperial court could not do anything to them.
Ni Wenhuan looked at Zhu Youzhen's expression, then looked at Zhu Xu and said, "Your Majesty, the inner prison sent to Huguang ten days ago is said to have also 'disappeared'. ” Zhu Xu's expression remained unchanged, he had known the news for a long time, picked up the teacup, and drank it silently.
This kind of thing is not the first time, it has happened intermittently since the Wanli years, and it is nothing more than the bandits along the road, and then the local bandits are strictly ordered, and it is over.
Zhu Xu was calm, but Zhu Youzhen's face was full of anger, and he said in a deep voice, "Did you find out who did it?"
” Wang Shaohui kept hiding and didn't speak, Ni Wenhuan looked at Zhu Youzhen and then at Zhu Xu, and hesitated, "This kind of thing has always been investigated and handled by Jinyiwei by order, and there are some people in the Criminal Department and Dali Temple who are short of manpower. ” Since Hongzhi, the functions and powers of the local political division, the judicial department, and the command department have been expanded, and they are all in the local area.
Moreover, a political envoy controls the local money, grain, taxes and silver, and sometimes the imperial court has to be appeased in many ways before the silver can be collected, and every time it comes to collecting taxes, it is often the time when they want to blackmail the imperial court and act recklessly.
Zhu Youzhen frowned when he heard this, Jinyiwei is now 'abolished', and Dongchang is now almost 'semi-hidden', if you want to find out, you can only rely on the Criminal Department.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't find a way after thinking for a long time, and finally looked at Zhu Xu and said: "Your Majesty, this matter is important, and it must not be let go easily, nor can it be too radical, causing local conjecture and fear." ” Zhu Xu smiled and waved his hand, and said, "There are many complicated things, let's come step by step, sit down, and start from the beginning." ” Zhu Youzhen, Ni Wenhuan, and Wang Shaohui were all stunned, but they still sat down patiently.
Zhu Xu waited for the three of them to sit down, and said in a deep voice, "First of all, the cabinet auxiliary ministers, and the members of the six ministries.
I also know, Brother Huang, this assistant is still there, how should Ye Xianggao and Han Huang be settled?
” Zhu Youzhen's expression was calm, this question not only bothered him, but also bothered Ye Xianggao and others.
No matter what to do, Gu Bingqian is still in the cabinet, or auxiliary, Ye Xianggao, Han Huang can't enter, after all, these two people used to be an auxiliary and the other was a secondary assistant, and the restart can only be placed as an auxiliary.
This is also the reason why the Donglin Party frantically attacked Gu Bingqian and hoped that he would fall.
However, with Zhu Xu's protection, Gu Bingqian's auxiliary position has always been very stable.
Gu Bingqian is here, Ye Xianggao, Han Huang can't go up, the two of them are blocking in front, ** Xing, Gao Panlong and others can't enter the cabinet.
At the moment, this is the biggest difficulty.
Zhu Youzhen couldn't say it, and Ni Wenhuan and the others naturally didn't dare to speak in vain.
In the cabinet, the quiet pin drop can be heard.
