Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 118 Progress
This is the most worrying question of the three academicians in the university. The emperor's mind is always the most difficult to guess. The matter of His Majesty's trust in Li Guang a few years ago is vivid in my memory. If you can change your physical condition, it took a lot of effort for everyone to bring down Li Guang, and it can be regarded as overcoming that difficulty.

If His Majesty is enraged this time, causing the monarch and his ministers to be alienated from morality, then many people are afraid that they will be in bad luck, especially this time Dongchang will show its power.

"My lords, Eunuch He from the Supervisor of Rituals is here!" The secretary of the cabinet came in from the outside, saw the three big men sitting there, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit oppressive, so he couldn't help lowering his head and said, Then he stood still and did not dare to move.

The three of them glanced at each other, and Liu Jian said slowly: "Your Majesty should have something to explain, I hope it's not a bad thing!" After speaking, he turned to the secretary and said, "Please come in, Eunuch He!"

These three are cabinet bachelors, especially Liu Jian, who is the cabinet's chief assistant bachelor. This person's status is naturally sufficient. They don't have to go out to pick them up when they face He Neng. He Neng lost face.Not long after, He Neng walked in under the guidance of the document, saw the three academicians and hurriedly cupped their hands and said with a smile: "I have met Liu Gong, Xie Gong, and Li Gong!"

"Eunuch He is being polite!" Liu Jian said with a smile, "But what orders does His Majesty have?"

"Nothing can be hidden from Mr. Liu!" He Neng nodded and said: "Your Majesty drafted an order from the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Shuntian Mansion to investigate the crimes of Marquis Shouning, and anyone who has servants of Marquis Shouning who run rampant in the village and bully others will be severely punished. Anyone who invaded the land of the people in the Shouning Marquis’ farmland will return it to the people and compensate the people. In addition, the Shouning Marquis will be fined for two years and banned for one month for his excessive behavior.”

He Neng's words stunned the three of them. The three of them were still talking about this matter just now, and they were still saying that His Majesty would not back down. Why did such an imperial decree come at this time?

"Three adults?" Seeing that the three of them were silent, He Neng asked hesitantly, what happened to the three adults?
"Your Majesty, Mr. He, I will draw up the decree right away!" Liu Jian would be overwhelmed at this time, and quickly agreed.

After He Neng left, Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty is still benevolent, and it is also due to Gu Nianqing. His Majesty has never severely punished Shou Ninghou before. This time it can be regarded as a precedent, and it can be regarded as a way to appease those people." It's gone." With a somewhat emotional smile on his face and more relief at the same time, it was obvious that Liu Jian fell into self-satisfaction.

The ideals of the so-called famous ministers and the so-called literati are to the king, Yao and Shun. Now that His Majesty is acting like this, Liu Jian feels very relieved.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang looked at each other, and Li Dongyang said with some concern: "What if those people make more progress?"

The atmosphere in the room became awkward in an instant, and the expression on Liu Jian's face also froze instantly. After pondering for a while, Liu Jian said with a wry smile, "Yeah! I'm making progress."

In the eyes of the three people, this time the matter may not be so easy to settle. After thinking about it, Xie Qian said: "The matter in Yangzhou cannot be stopped no matter what, but we are not helpless. Now the prince Your Highness is in Yangzhou, we can write to the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhong Zhong, and ask him to use some strength, among other things, to try to involve as few officials as possible."

"It's an eventful time!" Li Dongyang sighed on the side, and then said: "We all know that the Minister of the Ministry of Households, Mr. Zhong, is an upright person, and he is not the kind of person who knows how to be flexible. I am afraid that he will not be able to handle this matter."

"Mou Bin from Jinyiwei is over there. I'm afraid there's not much he can do. Wei Li, Zuoqian's capital censor Wei Li, who went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time, is an upright person and has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a long time. He wants to come to the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Giving him should be able to make meritorious service. It’s just that he is not a deputy envoy, and if he wants to use his strength, he may not be able to do it. Why don’t we speak to His Majesty, since the matter involves officials, why not make him a deputy envoy too!”

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang, then at Xie Qian, with a blank expression on his face. Of course he knew what the two men meant, but Liu Jian was noncommittal.

"My lord, the document from Yangzhou!" The document came in from the outside again, holding a document in his hand, which was just delivered this morning, but because several university scholars have explained that all documents about Yangzhou must be It was delivered at the first time. After the document found this document, it naturally did not dare to neglect it, so it was sent over quickly.

After receiving the document and taking a look, Liu Jian's expression turned ugly in an instant. After a while, he handed the document to Xie Qian, and then said, "Something happened!"

Seeing that Xie Qian was reading the document and Li Dongyang was looking at himself, Liu Jian had no choice but to say, "Liu Huaidao, the inspector of the Huaihe River and the Huaihe River, was arrested, and Liu Qi, the transfer envoy of the Yandao, took refuge in Shouninghou and Dongchang. The secret report of Liu Qi, the transshipment envoy, discovered the private salt case in Yangzhou, and Liu Qi, the transshipment envoy of Yangzhou, did not hesitate to defile himself and collude with others to get the evidence."

"Liu Qi also registered all his corruption gains over the years, and paid them all, worth more than 200 million taels."

Liu Jian's words directly shocked Li Dongyang, Xie Qian handed the document he had read to Li Dongyang, and then said: "With Liu Qi, it will be more involved. His Royal Highness didn't use Dongchang, but Jinyiwei , His Royal Highness still has a sense of propriety. However, Liu Huaidao, the imperial envoy of the tour, has been arrested, and the matter has become a big mess!"

Li Dongyang was also embarrassed immediately. He wanted to promote Wei Li, Zuoqian Capital Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to be the deputy imperial envoy, but this happened.

The status of patrolling the salt censor is very special. In the early Ming Dynasty, the supervisory censor was sent to patrol the salt as a temporary dispatch. During the Yongle period, the censor began to specialize in patrolling the salt.During the reign of Xuande, a member of the censor was selected to patrol Yangzhou Prefecture and other places to arrest illegal leather and illegal salt.During the orthodox period, the salt censor system was preliminarily formed. The Ming court ordered Lianghuai, Liangzhe, Changlu and other transportation departments to send a censor each year to lead inspections and supervise the salt class.Jingtai once repeated, but soon stabilized.During the Chenghua period, customization was basically formed.

With the passage of time, the actual status and powers of the Yanyan Yushi gradually increased, surpassing the Duzhuanyan Transport Envoy.

"Liu Qi is hurting people!" Liu Dongyang put down the paperwork and said with a sigh: "Liu Qi took refuge in Shouning Hou, and now things are getting more and more troublesome. Jin Yiwei is investigating this case, and we don't want to get the case over." Easy. Your Majesty doesn't trust the officials of Nanzhili, and this kind of thing happened in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's not easy!"

The problem now is the right to handle the case. If the right to handle the case is on his side, there may be room for things to change.
