I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 223 Corruption
There is a reason why Zhu Yijiong is so angry.

Speaking of which, even Wu Wai, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was also shocked when he first got the news.

Since being beaten and reminded by the emperor last time, Wu Wai immediately purged the Jin Yiwei when he returned, and then mobilized all the forces at hand to secretly investigate corrupt officials.

I thought I could uncover a few corrupt officials, highlight the presence of the Jin Yiwei, and show His Majesty that the Jin Yiwei is still useful.

Unexpectedly, the corrupt official was indeed caught, and even the big fish behind the scenes was attracted.

Zhu Yijiong said: "This Huang Xiaoqing...is there someone behind the scenes?"

Wu Wai raised his head and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, I am still investigating."

Huang Xiaoqing was the former sixth-rank officer in charge of the Ningbo Shipping Department, and he was also the missing officer of the Ningbo Shipping Department who appeared in the memorial of Zhenhai County Magistrate Qiu Pu.

Zhu Yijiong still has some impression of this person, the name is really impressive.This person was also a scholar from Taiwan, but he was not young and his abilities were not outstanding.

It was purely through qualifications and the fact that he was the first to join the dragon that he was able to get into the Ministry of Rites and find an official position that was neither high nor low.

Unexpectedly, now he took the initiative to apply for transfer from the Ministry of Rites to the Ningbo Shipping Department.

Although Zhu Yijiong is concerned about the prospects of Ningbo Shipping Company, he will not always focus on a sixth-grade officer in charge.

As a result, important matters such as the fact that such a small sixth-grade official directly ascended to Enke were leaked.

Although Enke's ascension to the throne was only used by Ming Dynasty to test the waters, it was also very important.Moreover, even if it is not important, if it is leaked in advance, the meaning will be different.

This has nothing to do with whether the test questions are leaked or not.

This means that the center of Ming Dynasty has begun to show corruption.

Zhu Yijiong pondered for a moment, then calmly ordered: "Check it out for me, be sure to find out all the people involved behind this person, no matter what their identities are!"

But after finishing speaking, he added: "Also, if you find anything, report it to me first. Don't do it again like this time. If you don't say anything, the magistrate of Zhenhai County will file a complaint in front of me."

As he spoke, Zhu Yijiong also knocked on the Zhenhai County Magistrate's memorial on the case.

"..."

After hearing these words, Wu Wai, who was originally secretly happy because of his meritorious service, suddenly became confused.

He understood what His Majesty meant.

Although something was indeed found this time, Jin Yiwei's method of forcibly "inviting" people still made His Majesty unhappy.

Tell His Majesty what you find first. This is almost like pointing at Wu Wai's nose and saying that from now on, the Jin Yiwei will no longer be able to arrest first and then interrogate in the name of imperial authority.

Zhu Yijiong noticed very early: 'The power of these Jin Yiwei... seems to be a bit too much. '

This is normal. The commander of the Imperial Guard is the imperial uncle, and the queen has just given birth to the emperor's eldest son.

Although Emperor Zhu has not yet canonized the crown prince, almost everyone already thinks so.

It is not suitable for such a person to lead Jinyiwei.

It's just a matter of urgency. When Zhu Yijiong set up Jinyiwei, he really didn't have any suitable candidates.

Even now, they are still being identified and cultivated.

I can only use it temporarily. As for whether a relative like Wu Wai will have bad consequences if he becomes a royal guard?

After all, few of the Jinyiwei commanders in the pre-Ming Dynasty died well.

Zhu Yijiong had already thought of this, and the eldest son of the emperor was the back-up man.

As long as Wu Wai doesn't commit suicide, there shouldn't be any problem.

Moreover, the organizational structure of Jinyiwei will not exist for long.

The system is always innovating, and Lao Zhu’s approach is actually a bit outdated.

"The minister obeys the order."

Wu Wai cupped his hands and responded.

……

Nanjing City.

The Jin Yiwei, who had been hiding in the dark before, suddenly jumped out, and began to move frequently as soon as he appeared. Officials were constantly being arrested by the Jin Yiwei's personnel.

Among those arrested were the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Industry, and even the Three Law Departments.

This moment caused a nervous reaction among the central civil servants, and a large number of impeachment memorials were sent to the emperor's court like snowflakes.

Fortunately, the cabinet is relatively quiet. No, the cabinet is not quiet either.Otherwise, so many memorials to impeach Jin Yiwei would not be delivered to him as the emperor in such a concentrated manner.

Jinyiwei was a special institution that made people jealous after hearing about it in the past Ming Dynasty.

If it doesn't move, it will be fine. If it starts to move, many people will be unlucky.

Not only the civil servants, but also the entire bureaucracy are in natural opposition. They were the knife used by Lao Zhu to control the bureaucracy in the past.

Zhu Yijiong naturally accepted all the memorials that impeached Jin Yiwei for his power. He had ordered a thorough investigation, so it was impossible to stop them.

Even if the impact is indeed great, he just needs to take this opportunity to clean up the rot inside the center.

Heaven Prison.

Yan Yan held on to the narrow and strong gap in the cell door, stretched his head and looked outside at the old man who was being escorted in by a group of Jinyi guards in Feiyu uniforms.

"Little brother, what's going on? Why are people being imprisoned every day these days?" Yan Jue stopped a guard who was accompanying him at the end.

As the first missionary to come to China, Yan Yan did not know all the Chinese characters, but he learned almost the same Chinese, except that they were all in the southern Fujian dialect.

Fortunately, this jailer also happens to be from southern Fujian.

In comparison, the other two, Doluo and Jiale, who were also imprisoned, were much less lucky.

Although the two of them have a higher status, especially Jiale, he can't speak even a word of Chinese.

The other members of the papal envoy, including the translator, were held in separate cells. The three of them only shared a room because of their special status.

Apart from this, Zhu Yijiong did not make any other disposition towards this special envoy.There was neither preferential treatment nor harsh treatment in food and drink, and there were even new bedding.

Except for the dark spots, it's almost the same as being under house arrest outside.

The main reason is that Zhu Yijiong doesn't know how to deal with these religious lunatics from Europe. Jiale is better and knows how to adapt, but his brain is not very good, and the other two are completely religious lunatics.

But it is a pity to expel it like this. We can only lock it up like this for now. Maybe it will be useful in the future?
The Fujian jailer also knew that this foreigner had a special status. He stopped and said in southern Fujian dialect: "We don't know either, but I heard that Jin Yiwei seems to have arrested one of the adults above. According to me, he must be another corrupt official who bullies our people. , Your Majesty should take all these officials and kill them..." (Just think it's the southern Fujian dialect! Because it can't be typed)

"grown ups?"

Ignoring the jailer's soliloquy, Yan Yan fell into deep thought.

After staying in China for so long, he naturally understood that in China, adults meant officials.

With so many officials being arrested every day, has something happened to this powerful Eastern Empire?

……

end of september.

The autumn season among various provinces has finally come to an end.

Qiu Wei is what is often called the rural examination (a scholar is required to take the examination). Only by passing the provincial examination and gaining the title of Juren can one further participate in the joint examination, that is, Chun Wei.

The Enke that Zhu Yijiong ascended to power was founded by Qiu Wei and Spring Wei, and it was also a test of the waters when the new dynasty was first established.

With Dengji Enke testing the waters, it will naturally be much easier for the Ministry of Rites to organize the Qiu Wei later.

Autumn Wei is the same as Spring Wei, which is held once every three years, and there is no need to go to Beijing. It only needs to be opened by the local government.Only if you pass can you continue to participate in the Spring Festival in February of the next year.

Commonly known as going to Beijing to take the exam.

Originally, the first autumn of the Ming Dynasty should have started last month and ended at the beginning of this month.

However, Emperor Zhu's comprehensive ban on crows disrupted the plans of the Ministry of Rites. Not to mention many academic and political officials from various provinces were arrested, and even many people from the Ministry of Rites were taken to forced drug rehabilitation.

Although the Ministry of Rites dispatched additional manpower temporarily, it was still delayed for a month. Fortunately, Qiu Wei finally ended successfully.

Many former Qing scholars actively referred to the Ming Dynasty provinces, including the newly occupied Huainan and Jiangxi provinces.

Huainan is Anhui, and Zhu Yijiong specially changed its name.

We didn’t even capture Huaibei, so why would we call it Anhui?
This is also to urge the civil servants and generals below. The uprising has not yet succeeded, so everyone must not slack off.

The new governors of Huainan, Jiangxi, and Southern Jiangxi took office at the end of August.

The Governor of Southern Gansu was specially established by the Ming Dynasty Central Committee, taking into account the strategic position of Southern Gansu and the regional situation.

After all, up to now, the Ming army has only controlled the states, prefectures, and counties in southern Jiangxi. There are still many mountain people and Hakka people who are still unwilling to obey the rule of the Ming court.

In this regard, the Ming court officials could only follow the previous treatment of customers from mountain people in Fujian and southern Zhejiang, and stationed troops for a long time.

It was not only a rebellion against the Southern Ganshan people, but also a defense against the invasion from Guangdong.

　Don't worry about whether adults refer to parents. In the Qing Dynasty, the lower class people were subordinates, and adults were officials.
