"Pavilion Elder, Your Majesty summons!"

A Chinese scholar hurriedly ran in and reported to Yang Yiqing, the old man sighed at this moment, there is something going on again, it seems that as long as there is that kid surnamed Wang, there will be no moment of peace and purity.

Yang Yiqing was really scared of being tossed...... Just a few days ago, Yang Yiqing was appointed by Jiajing, the young master and the crown prince, and the scholar of the Ministry of Justice.

This decree indicates that Yang Yiqing is already the head of the cabinet, and the other three are inferior to him in terms of official positions and rankings.

In other words, the old man has fulfilled his long-cherished wish and become the first assistant of the Ming Dynasty!

Stand on top of a mountain and look down on the world.

Yang Yiqing couldn't be happy at all, the maladministration that Daming had accumulated for more than a hundred years completely broke out at this time. At the same time as the maladministration, there was also a conflict between the monarch and the minister.

Although Yang Tinghe is dead, Yang Tinghe's remnants of the party, as well as those gentry groups who are all over the world and really control the Ming Dynasty, are still there, and they are still looking for opportunities to fight back.

And the law-changing faction represented by Zhang Xuan and others has already sharpened their knives and can't wait to start acting.

Frankly speaking, Yang Yiqing and Yang Ting and Yu Dang are not all the way, but the problem is that the old man and Zhang Xuan are not all the way.

This old bone, I can't help but toss, why can't I live a few days of comfortable life with peace of mind?

Yang Yiqing came to the Fengtian Hall with a stomach full of lamentation.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw a stretcher under the dan pier, on which a man was lying on it, covered in blood...... Yang Yiqing rubbed his old eyes, and then he recognized that it was Wang Yue!

"Boy!"

The old man excitedly threw the Qi Nan cane of the imperial gift, and pounced.

With difficulty, he stretched out his hand and picked up Wang Yue's head.

"Boy, you, are you alright?"

Wang Yue grinned, this old man is really strong! My neck is going to break.

"No, it's fine!"

Wang Yue's voice was difficult, but Yang Yiqing thought that he was really seriously injured, and the old man was suddenly angry. How do you toss, it has nothing to do with the old man, but you can't touch Wang Yue!

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with Wang Yue? Whose hand did it? ”

Zhu Houxi was also frightened by Yang Yiqing's angry appearance, and said in his heart that I did it, will you start beating me?

"Elder Ge, Wang Yuefeng aimed to set up a tax card in Chongwenmen, but he was injured by Li Dongyang's family!"

"Li Dongyang!"

Yang Yiqing gritted his teeth and scolded, "This scourge! He was not a good thing back then, he was attached to Liu Jin, and he also bought a bunch of shameless scholars to spread his reputation for him. The bullshit articles he wrote were preached all over the world, and he was not good as a scholar of the first auxiliary university, but he was dedicated to being the leader of Shilin, don't think that if he is dead, no one will know, how many of his books are written by himself? It's not a doorman catching a knife ghostwriter, a shameless thing, it doesn't stop when it's dead, it's really a scourge for thousands of years! ”

This scolding made Zhu Houxi stunned, and Wang Yue wanted to sit up when he heard it, and it was really happy to talk a little more!

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that he should immediately send someone to copy the Li family, and dare to beat the officials of the imperial court, how rampant! It can be seen from this that the Li family should be in such a shape in the township! They are the one who is in trouble, the people are fishy, and it is not enough for the people to be angry if they don't kill! ”

The old man was so murderous that he couldn't wait to crush the Li family.

Zhu Houxi waved his hand again and again, "Elder Ge don't be impatient, let's wait for other adults to come and discuss it together." ”

Yang Yiqing said: "Your Majesty, this matter certainly needs to be discussed, but the old minister thinks that it should be discussed how to convict!" must obey the public, and if the Li family is not severely punished, where is the majesty of the court? ”

What else can Zhu Houxi say, he only nodded, he didn't know before, Xiao Fugui was so popular?

Soon, the other ministers came, the scholars Zhang Xuan and Jia Yong, these two people were also frightened when they saw Wang Yue's miserable appearance, especially Jia Yong, who was so anxious that they all cried.

"Lord Wang, you are dedicated to the country and do not avoid swords, which god is killing you! If you dare to hurt Lord Wang, I will fight with him! ”

Although Zhang Xuan didn't speak, his fists were clenched tightly, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were red.

It's just that compared with the cabinet princes, the situation of the next six Shangshu is different.

Among the six departments, there are only two who currently belong to the imperial party, Wang Qiong, the secretary of the military department, and Sun Jiao, the secretary of the household department, originally Yang Ming Gong was in the Ministry of Rites, but unfortunately he returned to his hometown to take care of his father, and the Ministry of Rites fell into the hands of Luo Qinshun.

It's not that Zhu Houxi doesn't want to promote his own people, but the starting point of the imperial party is too low, except for Wang Yue and Zhang Zhang, who have risen rapidly by chance.

The other Gui Cao, Huo Tao, Xi Shu, Xia Yan, Fang Xianfu and others have not yet rushed to the first level of Shangshu, and can only stay in the position of Shilang, Yushi Yushi, or even lower.

However, just looking at the speed of their promotion, it is already very appalling.

However, when it comes to the real battle, he still can't enter the room.

If you can completely control the court situation, why bother to play this bitter trick with Xiao Fugui!

Zhu Houxi sighed secretly in his heart.

In the next second, he cheered up and frowned angrily.

"Just now, just half a day ago, something terrible happened!" Zhu Houxi pointed at Wang Yue violently, and shouted angrily: "The Wanping Zhi County appointed by me was beaten up when the commercial tax was levied!" It was none other than the family of the late scholar Li Dongyang...... I can't figure it out, how can a dead bachelor's family still be so arrogant and don't take the court in their eyes, where is the law of my Ming Dynasty, and where is the dignity of the court? ”

The emperor's voice roared and echoed in the Fengtian Temple, and the anger of the Son of Heaven rushed to his face!

"They dare to beat Wang Yue, do they not even care about me, the emperor? Next time, do you want to enter the Fengtian Temple and rob my dragon chair? ”

Zhao Jian, who was promoted from Dali Siqing to the secretary of the Criminal Department, hurriedly knelt down: "Your Majesty, the Li family beat the imperial court officials, and they should be severely punished. ”

Seeing that Zhu Houxi didn't speak, it was obvious that he was still not satisfied!

Zhao Jian gritted his teeth again, "Your Majesty, do you want to recover the nickname given to Li Dongyang and take away the gift of the official to set an example!" ”

For Zhao Jian, such a disposition is already the most ruthless, and he has no tolerance for the Li family.

But the problem is that Zhu Houxi obviously doesn't want to dispose of just one Li family!

"I now ask you, why did the Li family traffic goods to the capital? How to avoid taxes! Is there still a preferential treatment? ”

Zhao Jian said helplessly: "Your Majesty, the imperial court does have a rule that the family members of deceased officials are among the preferential exemptions......

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Xuan said: "The rule of the imperial court is that within three years, you can be exempted from grain. Li Dongyang died in the twelfth year of Zhengde, and it has been five years now, and the time limit for preferential exemption has long passed! ”

One sentence made Zhao Jian speechless.

Zhu Houxi suddenly said: "Seeing the big with the small, a Li family is nothing!" I want to ask you, how many other families are there that the ministers who are obviously officials have been dead for many years, but still enjoy preferential exemptions and avoid tax and servitude? Can you make it clear? ”

As soon as this question came out, the twenty or thirty high-ranking officials present all looked at each other, which would be strange if they could explain it clearly.

In fact, the laws and regulations of the Ming Dynasty were very strict, for example, officials could exempt and exempt Tian Fu from servitude, but only their own family members could be exempted, and those of the same clan could not do it.

And Ding is Ding, and grain is food. Some people say that my family has a lot of people and little land, can I use forced labor to convert the field endowment...... Sorry, no!

Once an official dies, give his family three years to keep filial piety, and after the filial piety is over, he must pay for his service...... There is absolutely no room for ambiguity.

But the problem is that these regulations must be implemented by officials, and officials naturally protect each other.

In the case of Sanyang, a famous minister of the Yongle Dynasty, there is one of them who is still enjoying the shade, the field endowment, and the conscription, and they don't have to bear any burden.

The family is huge, and in the local area, it is like a giant.

This is a thing that all officials are secret, Zhu Houxi asked before, where did more than half of the fields that disappeared from the fish scale book go?

Quite a part of it was swallowed up like that.

If one person becomes an official, the whole family will be exempted, but when this person dies, the acres of land will never be returned.

"Thorough investigation, thorough investigation must be thoroughly investigated! It is not clear how much of the land that needs to be returned to the imperial court and re-counted in the fish scale book...... I want to know! How many big rats like the Li family have not been found out, and they must also be investigated! In particular, the Ministry of Rites has given preferential treatment to deceased officials, and it cannot be a confused account...... From the beginning of the founding of the country, we must find out clearly! ”

Luo Qinshun's eyes almost fell out, is this clear?
