Zhu Houzhao is very good at playing, and after he lived in Xuanfu, he suddenly remembered that he had a prince.

So, Zhu Hou returned to Beijing according to the decree and ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, the imperial concubine to listen to the government on his behalf, and the celebrant and the cabinet to assist the government.

The civil officials blew up directly, but the emperor was not there, and they couldn't advise.

The royal driver is personally recruited, the harem is in politics, and the eunuchs are in power...... No matter how you look at it, it's the appearance of a dead country.

Wang Qiong, the real emperor, and Lu Wan, the fake emperor, suddenly smiled on their faces. When the emperor was there, they were the six Shangshu, and they could directly give the cabinet a hard time. As soon as the emperor left, they were forced to obey the orders of the cabinet, and if they wanted to do anything, they had to send the chapter to the border town.

Now it's okay, the crown prince is in charge of the country, they can bypass the cabinet and go to the imperial concubine to make a small report.

Prince Liang and other cabinet ministers trembled with anger, and Zhang Yong, a eunuch who was friendly to civil officials, had already been transferred out of the celebrant eunuch. The current master of ceremonies is Zhang Xiong, who often does not cooperate with the cabinet, resulting in a mess in the handling of government affairs. Now adding another imperial concubine will really drive the cabinet crazy.

But soon, the civil officials were surprised to find out that the imperial concubine was allowed to listen to the government...... It smells so good!

For example, some engineering projects that cost a lot of money but have no practical use did not listen to the emperor's advice before, and even the emperor often did not bother to read the recitals. Now hand the piece to the imperial concubine, and there will be a reply within three days, and most of the work will be stopped according to the wishes of the ministers.

There are also eunuchs in various places who violate the law and discipline, and the emperor never cares, and even the impeachment chapter of the imperial history is thrown aside. However, the imperial concubine was on official business and sent officials to investigate, and once it was verified, she would definitely be punished.

Virtuous concubine!

Leopard room.

Concubine Zhuang, who has been promoted to the imperial concubine, is receiving ministers under a veil, and all ministers are given seats.

The imperial concubine took the piece and said: "What is the cause of the good things in Guangdong? ”

Mao Ji, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said bitterly: "It is all because of the corruption of local officials and the collusion with the sea bandits, and the sea ban ancestral system has been completely destroyed!" ”

Some time ago, there were hundreds of pirates in Guangdong, who repeatedly attacked the Guanghai Acropolis and plundered, and the local government and guard did not dare to manage it at all. Occasionally, someone caught the pirate and sent it to the government, but was actually let go by Zhao Ying and Zhu Chun, commanded by Guang Haiwei.

The inspector was furious when he heard this, and in one breath impeached Guangdong's envoys, deputy envoys, commanders, patrols, and politicians, and military preparations. In fact, the governor of Liangguang and the political envoys of Guangdong should also be impeached together, but Ning Ying did not dare to play so big, and only dared to impeach officials below the level of the procurator.

How did Zhu Houzhao deal with such a serious incident in history? The probationary envoy was transferred to another place, and other officials were fined.

Shiji, the head of the household, took the opportunity to say: "Not only should we deal with Guangdong officials severely, but we should also strengthen the sea ban in Guangdong, and it is best to stop opening the sea and transfer Wang Shilang back to the capital!" ”

The imperial concubine frowned and said: "This is a matter of Guangdong, what does it have to do with the governor of Zhejiang?" ”

Shi Jue said: "It's all caused by the lax sea ban!" ”

The imperial concubine turned her head and asked the first assistant Liang Chu: "What does Liang Xiang think?" ”

Prince Liang, who resolutely opposed Wang Yuan's opening of the sea, actually changed his position at this time and said: "The minister thinks that Guangdong officials should indeed be severely punished, but there is no need to strengthen the sea ban in Guangdong. Now that His Majesty has rectified the border affairs, and countless money and food have been consumed, how can the household department have the money to impose martial law in the sea area of Guangdong? ”

Shi Jue and Mao Ji were furious when they heard this.

Shi Jue directly didn't give face, and said on the spot: "Liang Shoufu is a Cantonese, I'm afraid he also has collusion with pirates?" Otherwise, why did he oppose Wang Shilang's opening of the sea half a year ago, and now he is against the ban on the sea in Guangdong! ”

Liang Chu said without changing his face: "I am seeking the country's words, Shi Shangshu is in charge of the household department, don't you know how much silver is left in the household department?" If you strengthen the sea ban in Guangdong, you have to spend money to rectify the navy, do you have so much money in the household department? ”

Shi Jue said angrily: "It's one thing to not have enough money, it's another thing to strengthen the sea ban!" ”

Liang Chu is a typical vested interest, and he does not support the opening of the sea in Guangdong, nor does he support the ban on the sea in Guangdong, and it is best to maintain the status quo of not being able to open it.

On the contrary, Shi Jue, who has always been hostile to Wang Yuan, belongs to a real upright minister who really wants to maintain the law and order of the country.

The imperial concubine asked Zhang Zilin, who had been reinstated as the secretary of the Criminal Department: "What is Zhang Shangshu's opinion?" ”

Zhang Zilin stood up and said: "The Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple should jointly send people to Guangdong to investigate, and those who violate the law and discipline should be severely punished according to the law." ”

The imperial concubine nodded and said, "According to what Zhang Shangshu said." ”

This approach is impartial, and Liang Chu and Shi Jue have nothing to say.

However, when the Three Law Divisions went to the local area to investigate, it was likely that they would go through the motions, which would be tantamount to favoring Liang Chu's side.

Shi Jue said: "The minister recommends Wang Jing of the Right Capital Imperial History to preside over the investigation affairs!" ”

Liang Chu was so angry that he didn't speak, if he objected again, it was estimated that Shi Jue would point at his nose and scold. Shi Jue's upright and clear stream not only gave Wang Yuan a headache, but also gave Liang Chu a headache.

Wang Jing is a very qualified person to deal with this matter, this gentleman is not afraid of anyone when he is reckless, and at the same time he is very measured. Liang Chu was already able to imagine the results of the handling, most of which were the demotion of the Guangdong Provincial Prosecutor's Envoy, the Deputy Inspector's Envoy, and the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, the hereditary military attache of Guanghaiwei was imprisoned, and some other officials would also be demoted.

Guangdong officials still dare not play yin with Wang Jing, if Wang Jing is angered. This old man is likely to return to Beijing immediately, and then seek the position of governor of Guangdong, and then return to Guangdong to train troops to encircle and suppress pirates, and by the way, kill a group of officials and people who colluded with pirates!

They are all members of the Wang family, and Wang Jing's temper is similar to Wang Yuan's.

The matter of the Guangdong pirates plundering the guard house was disposed of in this way. Although it is not painful and cannot change the situation in Guangdong, the imperial concubine has handled it very well, at least more like a master than Zhu Houzhao.

Zuodu Yushi Pengze suddenly knelt on the ground: "Zhejiang Patrol Imperial Shi Tang Fengyi has a performance, impeached Wang Yuan, the governor of Zhejiang, and colluded with Zhejiang bandits without authorization. Not only did he force Dinghai County to issue a household registration to pirates and good citizens, but he also dared to accept ships donated by pirates, and even more rebelled to hang the regimental dragon flag on the sea ships! ”

A woman is a woman, and sometimes she doesn't reason with you at all.

The imperial concubine said directly: "Your Majesty trusts Wang Shilang, and I also believe that Wang Shilang is dedicated to seeking the country." The affairs of Zhejiang have been handed over to Wang Shilang to handle it all, and the impeachment will be left in the middle, and everything will be discussed when His Majesty returns to Beijing. ”

The ministers looked at each other, and did not bother to say anything.

Legend has it that this imperial concubine was dedicated to His Majesty by Wang Yuan, and it seems that this is indeed the case.

The imperial court is here to discuss Tang Fengyi's impeachment of Wang Yuan, but as everyone knows, Tang Fengyi has reconciled with Wang Yuan, and when he meets people, he will say that Governor Wang has blessed the people of Zhejiang!

The reason for the reconciliation between the two is very simple, Tang Fengyi finally began to rectify the bad habit of drowning babies in Zhejiang. He forcibly limited the marriage age of men and women, which aroused the collective opposition of the officials and people in Zhejiang, but Wang Yuan resolutely supported Tang Fengyi.
