The three ministers remained silent.The military department is in charge of the military power in the world, which is an important symbol of the civilian government's military power in the world.The reason why the Ming Dynasty is now noble and military is because the civilian officials of the military department are in charge of the examination and selection of military attachés in the world, and they are also in charge of the money and food of the army in the world, and even the dispatch and command of the army, so the military attachés have to be subservient to civilian officials.The three ministers naturally knew that once the military department really gave command and the right to select military attachés to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, it meant that the world was not a civil and military class, but a civil and military balance.Undoubtedly, it will be more conducive to the emperor's control of civil and military officials, and not conducive to the control of the emperor by scholars.Therefore, the three ministers did not dare to express their position immediately."
Write it now!"
Zhu Youxiao glanced at the three ministers who had been silent and said.He just wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to reduce the power of the military department and prepare for not allowing the civilian clique of foreign Koreas to interfere in his army in the future."
Obey the order!"
Fang Congzhe replied first, he has been labeled as the "emperor's lackey" by many civil officials, and loyalty to the emperor is the only way he can live now, so he does not have the slightest intention of singing against His Majesty the emperor for the interests of the civilian group.Han Yi and Wang Xiangqian glanced at Fang Congzhe because of this.Because Fang Congzhe has already agreed, it means that if the two of them don't agree, it is meaningless to want to admonish.Therefore, Han Yi and Wang Xiangqian also replied: "Obey the order!"
”"There was such a big case of embezzlement of ink in the Ministry of War, and the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the military department of the Sixth Branch Corridor did not notice it at all, which is really a dereliction of duty!
I see that they usually like to be in the limelight, why is the real big case in front of them but they haven't found the slightest bit, is there also collusion?
I see that the imperial history and military department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are also completely abolished!
Intended!
The Imperial History and the Military Department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were not effective in the investigation of the court officials in the matter, and they should be severely punished, and they should be punished for dereliction of duty and reformed to the people!
The rest of the local governors involved in the case of corruption in the Ministry of War, the Imperial History, the Imperial History, and the military department officials responsible for auditing the affairs of the Ministry of War were all dismissed, and new imperial history and military department officials were selected from among the local state and county officials. ”"The Metropolitan Procuratorate can't even detect such a big case of corruption and ink, and I see that the Metropolitan Procuratorate also has to be supervised, and then draft an order, two capitals and 13 provinces, each set up an anti-corruption department of Dongchang, which is a permanent yamen, and can set up anti-corruption inspection offices at various key passes to investigate corruption at any time!
If a case is found by the Anti-Corruption Division of the East Factory, but not found by the Imperial History and the Inspectorate, it is the dereliction of duty of the Imperial History and the Inspectorate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. ”Zhu Youxiao continued.But the three ministers were very shocked after hearing Zhu Youxiao's will.Because they all know that although Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose in setting up the Metropolitan Procuratorate was indeed to investigate corruption and investigate officials' illegal activities.But now most of the imperial historians of the Metropolitan Procuratorate only use their supervisory power to fight political opponents or use their supervisory power to blackmail hundreds of officials, and no one will have nothing to do to check their colleagues.After all, everyone is a civil official.But now His Majesty the Emperor wants to put a tight spell on the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and he wants to let Dongchang supervise the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate his civil officials.This made Fang Congzhe and other ministers want to dissuade His Majesty the Emperor from doing this, but they don't know how to persuade him.After all, if it is impossible to say that the civil officials are honest and upright, it is impossible, and the confession of the collective greed of the military department is still in front of us.And the Metropolitan Procuratorate was indeed derelict in its duty and failed to find out such a major corruption case."
Yes!"
Therefore, Fang Congzhe could only take the lead in compromise.And Han Yi and Wang Xiangqian could only follow the compromise and obediently obeyed Zhu Youxiao's will.Because of this, Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers are really only obediently playing the role of the emperor's secretary now.And the big case of embezzlement is not over yet.In the capital, next, Wei Zhongxian began to arrange for people to arrest and interrogate the officials of the Ministry of Industry.Outside the capital, the seizure of Jin merchants also kicked off.Xu Xianchun was ordered to come to see Qi Jin and his Zhejiang soldiers with a holy decree.After the Zhejiang soldiers who were about to transfer to Liaodong again heard that the holy decree said that the military department was greedy for their military salaries, and they would also give it to the Jin merchants to buy grain and then sell it to Dongyu to make a profit, they were all angry, and they were also very active in making a detour to Zhangjiakou Fort with the people from Dongchang.And Xu Xianchun then hurried to Shanhaiguan, where he stopped Qin Liangyu's white pole soldiers, and also informed these white pole soldiers that the military department had embezzled their military salaries and rewarded silver and then gave them to the Jin merchants to buy grain and gunpowder for Dongyu.After hearing this, these white pole soldiers were even more angry, after all, they had just fought a battle with Donglu, and they had suffered many casualties of their own brothers, and their hatred for Donglu was high.In addition, it was the emperor who issued a holy decree to let them go to Zhangjiakou Fort to assist in the confiscation of Jin merchants, so these white pole soldiers, like the Zhejiang soldiers, were very active in coming to Zhangjiakou Fort, and they did not complain because they had not had time to rest after a vicious battle.Even, the white pole soldiers and the Zhejiang soldiers were more active than the factory guards, and some grumpy military attaches even forced the factory guards to speed up to Zhangjiakou Fort with guns, and these factory guards were not allowed to rest along the way.Xu Xianchun himself was scolded by Qin Minping because he wanted to rest at the post station for one night, and in the end, Qin Liangyu personally apologized, so he didn't let Xu Xianchun report the matter.Of course, Xu Xianchun was also a little afraid of these murderous arrogant soldiers, so he had to hurry overnight on the grounds of understanding that these officers and soldiers were eager to regain their hard-earned money.…… At this time, Zhangjiakou Fort was still very peaceful.Zhangjiakou Fort, which prospered because of border trade, gathered many Great Jin merchants who specialized in doing business with the Jurchens and Mongols.The Fan family was the largest of these Jin merchants.The current head of the Fan family is Fan Ming.Fan Minh's personality is quite cautious, but because of this, although he is doing the business of the enemy, he has not made any mistakes.But because some time ago, Wang Huazhen, the right senator of Liaodong, was convicted, and even took his Fan family to Wang Huazhen's side as a staff member, and Fan Yuqing, who was also to liaise with officials in the DPRK and China for his family, was convicted, Fan Ming has been uneasy about this matter.Fan Ming's son Fan Yongdou saw his father's worries, so he persuaded him: "Father doesn't have to worry so much, isn't there already someone we have bought inside the criminal department to say, Yuqing has long been punished by the Ming Dynasty, and it has not been found out that Fan Yuqing is our clan, only found out to be the Shenyang Fan family, it seems that Yuqing is quite smart, knows how to cover his own family, and we in Liaodong also brought back news that the Shenyang Fan family was indeed arrested by Jinyiwei and brought into Beijing, Among them, Fan Wencheng, a member of the clan, was sentenced to death because he had meritorious fame and did not know loyalty, so the imperial court now does not know what our Fan clan has done. ”Fan Ming nodded.At this time, Fan Ming's younger brother Fan Cheng walked in and said: "Brother, the silver of the military department has reached 670,000 taels after the drifting this time, Zhang Butang asked me to tell you that the profits from selling grain to Dongyu this time are still divided according to the old rules, but the governor of Liaodong does not have to divide the money, and I think we must also know the reason." ”"Okay, then at that time, I will arrange for someone to use the money that should have been given to the governor of Liaodong to bribe the new Liaofu."
Fan Ming nodded and ordered.And Fan Yongdou laughed: "I'm going to make a fortune now!"
It was said that this new emperor was generous enough, but he would never have imagined that the money he had allocated from his inner money would not only reach the soldiers and the people, but would reach us. ”Fan Cheng smiled because of this: "This emperor, just stupid!"
Where do you know these things when you live in the deep palace?
”But as soon as Fan Cheng's words fell, Fan Ming's younger brother Fan Yu hurriedly ran in: "Oh no, brother, there are a large number of people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei outside!"
It looks like something bad is going to happen. ”
