Prince of Chaos

Chapter 322 Unforgivable
When Dong Qichang heard that Zhu Changluo had found out the results for him, his face was really hot.

He has been busy for so long without a clue, and in the end he still has to rely on the crown prince to get things done.

"I'm guilty of death. Please punish me, Your Highness!"

Dong Qichang thumped in panic and knelt on the ground, but Zhu Changluo didn't help him this time.

Zhu Changluo said lightly: "Okay, Master Dong, I specialize in surgery. The investigation of people is not the strong point of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. But I still don't want to do it again."

"Now you have also served as the right deputy capital censor and minister of rites, and your position in the court can be regarded as a high position. Moreover, Xu Zuo is already old, and the banner of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will sooner or later need a loyal and commendable person. Only a minister with extraordinary ability can be appointed. Therefore, Gu still has high expectations for Master Dong. I hope that Master Dong can also shoulder the weight of Gu's trust."

After Dong Qichang heard what Zhu Changluo said, his breathing became a lot heavier.He is also in his early forties, and this age is in the prime of life, the age at which he can make a lot of achievements. Who would not want to hold power and give advice?
Therefore, Dong Qichang immediately bowed and said: "My loyalty to Your Highness can be learned from the sun and the moon, and the world can show it. As long as it is His Highness's will, I will definitely do my best and die!"

Zhu Changluo said: "Master Dong has this kind of loyalty, and I am very moved in my heart. Moreover, I have seen Master Dong's loyalty in my eyes and kept it in my heart all these years. I also understand Master Dong's loyalty. Therefore, Gu will talk to Dong The master said these words. I hope that Master Dong can continue to work hard to handle the errand that Gu entrusted to you well."

Dong Qichang said: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations, and I will definitely handle my errands well."

Zhu Changluo was very satisfied when he saw Dong Qichang's swearing.

Zhu Changluo also understands the principle that if a worker wants to do a good job, he must first sharpen his weapon, so Zhu Changluo then said: "Although there were rumors in the past that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was responsible for supervising officials, in terms of fact investigation, this It has always been the shortcoming of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which has also caused many officials to dissatisfy the imperial censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and participate in impeachment. What's more, they don't take the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate seriously. In view of this shortcoming of the Procuratorate, I decided to set up a department under the Metropolitan Procuratorate to investigate official corruption and crimes. In this way, when the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate participate in some crimes, they can be targeted and targeted. It's proven."

Listening to Zhu Changluo's thoughts, Dong Qichang became even more excited. This is expanding the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.How could he not like such a good thing?

Dong Qichang said: "Your Highness is thoughtful, but I am too late to flatter you. I will definitely help His Highness to handle this job well."

Zhu Changluo nodded and continued: "This authority department is called the Anti-Corruption Department for the time being. Any criminal investigation and investigation personnel you need can be transferred to Dali Temple or the Ministry of Criminal Justice. At that time, I will ask the cabinet to issue an order to cooperate with the capital investigation. And you need to pull up this skeleton in the shortest possible time. At that time, handle a few more decent cases and stand firm. Of course, when handling a case, you must pay attention to the fact that the evidence is complete and the evidence is ironclad Rushan, don't come up with that kind of far-fetched implicated case just for credit."

Dong Qichang immediately replied: "I obey the order."

Zhu Changluo said: "Then let's go, let's start with the case of Mr. Wang Ge being slandered and maliciously slandered. Make things more beautiful."

After saying this, Zhu Changluo suddenly saw Zhang Weixian's memorial at hand, and Zhu Changluo stopped Dong Qichang again.

Zhu Changluo said: "You read this memorial first, and after reading it, go back and think about it. Then, come up with a plan and give it to Gu."

Dong Qichang took Zhang Weixian's memorial and read it again. After reading it, he was shocked. This matter is too big.

He looked up at Zhu Changluo cautiously. After Zhu Changluo felt his gaze, Zhu Changluo said: "The British public is determined to serve the country, and I can't live up to it. But honors and nobles have never paid land taxes in this dynasty. Therefore, this I would like to trouble Master Dong to think of an excuse for the Duke of England, so that everyone in the world can see the Duke of England's act of loyalty."

Dong Qichang replied weakly: "I remember it."

Then, Dong Qichang immediately returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and began to set up the anti-corruption department mentioned by Zhu Changluo, as well as the British company's voluntary payment of land taxes.

Because, his intuition told Dong Qichang that this matter must not be that simple, so he must be cautious.

For this reason, Dong Qichang thought of Wang Xijue again. Now, no matter how he looks at it, he and Wang Xijue are a community of officials who are both prosperous and hurt.

Therefore, Dong Qichang must ask Wang Xijue for advice!After all, Wang Xijue is big!With his support, even if the sky falls, it won't hit him directly on the head.

The reason why Zhu Changluo asked Dong Qichang to form an anti-corruption department is also to prepare for the official anti-corruption.

If so, just count on the censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate to attack people on the basis of suspicion without any evidence. Although, this works very well for a while.

However, in the long run, this approach will only make the already unharmonious relationship between the monarch and his ministers more tense.What's more, there may be a huge waste of partisan struggle.

Such a result was not what Zhu Changluo wanted to see.

Zhu Changluo, who is familiar with the history of the Ming Dynasty, knew that after the middle and late Wanli period, the signs of party struggle had begun to transform from a national struggle to a ideological struggle among various factions.

During this period of time, the Donglin Party, Qi Party, Zhejiang Party, and Eunuch Party all began to appear on stage.

Among them, the Donglin Party headed by Gu Xiancheng and Zhao Nanxing and the Eunuch Party headed by Wei Zhongxian were the most troublesome.

When these two political groups quarreled, they were almost lawless, and they would never stop fighting.In particular, Wei Zhongxian has compiled a book called "Donglin Dianjianglu", which is a trick, and it looks like an unruly wild way of political strife.

However, considering Wei Zhongxian's background and his knowledge and insight, it is not a small improvement for him to be able to compile a book of "Donglin Dianjianglu" in such a systematic way.

After all, although his predecessors were also crazy, when they were fighting against the civil servants, they were all single-handed and rushed forward with a rush of recklessness.

And he also knows how to compile a small book, which shows that Wei Zhongxian is still very smart.

However, the consequences of such a fierce party struggle are also unprecedentedly serious.

Not to mention that the government will lose control because of this, even the management of the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty will be messed up.

This is simply to push the already terminally ill Daming to the road of death.

Therefore, in order to prevent problems before they happen, and for the issue of party disputes that may continue to be disputed in the future.

At this time, Zhu Changluo had to transform the sharp weapon of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and then hold it firmly in his own hands, to prevent those monsters from using the township party, the same year and other messy officialdom culture to use the Metropolitan Procuratorate to do those things. Gangs and gangs, punish those hilltopism, and attack each other.

After arranging Dong Qichang's affairs, Zhu Changluo asked Wei Zhongxian to call Li Chengliang, Shangshu of the Ministry of War.

Li Chengliang has given Li Chengliang a lot of time during this period, and I believe he has found out a lot of things now.

After Li Chengliang heard that Zhu Changluo had summoned him, he sighed in his heart, and then, without hesitation, he sorted out the materials he had collected during this period, and prepared to take them to the palace together.

After arriving at Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo didn't talk nonsense. Zhu Changluo asked directly: "How is the investigation of Jizhen going? In a few days, Jizhen will be officially handed over to the Shuntian Mansion. I don't want Jizhen and other military towns. Handed over sick."

Li Chengliang took a deep breath and said: "I have already found out the problem of Ji Town, please take a look at it, Your Highness."

Li Chengliang raised the memorial in his hand high.

Zhu Changluo looked at the memorial that Li Chengliang held up, and after winking at Wei Zhongxian, Wei Zhongxian presented this thick memorial.

Zhu Changluo weighed the weight of the memorial, and it was not light. It seems that Li Chengliang has really put his heart into it during this time.

Zhu Changluo is quite satisfied with this.

Li Chengliang, an old fritter, finally got his ass straight, and he finally figured out what he should do to be an evergreen tree of Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Changluo said, "What have you found during this time?"

Li Chengliang immediately replied heartbroken: "I can't believe that Jizhen has become so corrupt! The guards set up by the imperial court are located in Jizhen, which is nothing. Slaves, withholding the military pay of the soldiers in the town, and reselling arms to the ambitious prairie rebellion. When encountering wars, they even killed good men and pretended to be rewards from the court. Their various crimes are simply outraged by both men and gods, and it is too difficult to write! I beg Your Highness Strictly rectify Jizhen, and give the oppressed soldiers and civilians of Jizhen a clear sky."

Zhu Changluo's expression sank when he heard Li Chengliang's accusation.

He knew that the problem in Ji Town was very serious, that the guard system had long existed in name only, and that military households had long been the private property of these military leaders and ruffian slaves. Dare to resell the ordnance issued by the imperial court to the grassland, and dare to play the crime of killing the good and pretending to be meritorious!

This is simply unforgivable!
