These few words made Shen Tingyun's face red.

Shen Tingyun didn't know what to say for a while. Originally, this kind of debate was not his forte, not to mention that it happened suddenly, and it was inevitable that there would be loopholes in the rhetoric he came up with in a moment, but what he said was the truth.

Everyone present knew that what Xungui and Xunqi did this time had nothing to do with voluntariness at all, and it was not that they were really loyal to the monarch and patriotic.

If there is a chance, these nobles and nobles will immediately regret it, and if they can pay a little less tax or can get back a little corruption, they will definitely do the same, there is no suspense at all.

It's just that you can't say this, and if you say it, it will be tantamount to lifting the matter to the table, so where will your majesty's face go?

So Shen Tingyun can only hold back, to put it bluntly, the British public is using righteousness to oppress people.

The so-called righteousness can actually be understood as the political correctness of later generations.

Zhu Youxiao was noncommittal about this, but he had already made up his mind in his heart.

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the courtiers and said slowly: "Okay, there's no need to fight around." Let's set up a new yamen! For the time being, this yamen will be under the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao didn't talk nonsense, he stood up directly and walked out to the back, obviously not wanting to talk to these ministers anymore.

After Zhu Youxiao left, Wenchen and Xungui Xunqi glanced at each other a few times, snorted coldly at the same time, and walked out separately.

The civil officials were very unhappy here, and what they should have gotten turned out to be in their hands.

As for Xungui and Xunqi, this power has nothing to do with them, and it doesn't matter if they can't get it, they are unhappy because they were still cheated by civilian officials after all.

The nobles felt pain, even if this power was not obtained by the civilian officials, but after all, it was their own people who paid the money.

After returning to Xiyuan, the anger on Zhu Youxiao's face disappeared.

Lying on the rocking chair, reaching out and tapping on the armrest of the chair, Zhu Youxiao began to ponder the next thing.

This time, the matter of paying taxes in Zhuangtian can actually come to an end.

As for whether there will be any more fights between Wenchen and Xungui Xunqi, Zhu Youxiao doesn't care too much. If they want to fight, they can fight, and the civil officials themselves are fighting back and forth, and it is not a big deal for the two of them to fight.

Anyway, I didn't think about handing over this matter to the Shuntian Mansion or the Household Department, let alone handing it over to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.

Zhu Youxiao originally planned to take this power into his own hands, but there were too many things to do in the future, and he couldn't do it without money or food.

If you let the household department and the five military governors collect the taxes from Xunzhuangtian, it is estimated that they will not be able to get into their own hands. Even if it can get into your own hands, you don't necessarily have how much. I don't have the heart to do it, and I don't bother to talk to them.

Glancing up at Chen Hong, Zhu Youxiao said, "You go to the General Administration Department and find Chen Sihai." ”

"Yes, Emperor." Chen Hong hurriedly bowed down and agreed, then turned around and walked outside.

The dust settled on Zhuangtian's tax payment, which made Chen Hong breathe a sigh of relief, for fear of being implicated.

During this period of time, Chen Sihai has been dormant.

Since the last Henan case, this Lord Chen can be said to have risen to fame and has attracted attention throughout the civil service system.

Of course, most of them are excluded, but there are many people who have a good impression of Chen Sihai. For example, Huang Kezhang, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Ou Dalun, like Chen Sihai very much.

But more people are respectful of Chen Sihai, and no one dares to provoke such a person.

The officials in Henan, from the governor to the small officials, were cleaned up by this cowman, and no one dared to offend him at all, for fear of being targeted by him.

This kind of person is capable and not afraid of death, the key is that Jane is in the emperor's heart, and he has the emperor's support in everything, so it is not cost-effective to provoke this kind of person. What if you die with him?

This time, Zhu Youxiao was ready to pull Chen Sihai out for a walk.

Last time, he let Chen Sihai do a big deal, and this time he will do a big one again.

Of course, Chen Sihai should also be promoted, and this position is more suitable for him this time.

Chen Sihai walked in from the outside with a calm face, with a serious expression and firm steps.

For Chen Sihai, this time was boring, but now that he learned that His Majesty had summoned him, he knew in his heart that there was something big to do, so he came eagerly.

However, in order to let His Majesty not see himself clearly, Chen Sihai still behaved very calmly.

"Minister Chen Sihai, see Your Majesty."

After seeing Zhu Youxiao, Chen Sihai hurriedly bowed and saluted.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said directly to him: "Okay, get up." ”

When Chen Sihai stood up, Zhu Youxiao said, "I'll give you an errand." ”

"Your Majesty, please." Chen Sihai bowed and said.

"You should know about the affairs of the court, right?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said, "This newly established yamen is preparing to put you in charge. ”

"Your official position is that of the head of the household department, but it is in the name of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The newly established yamen is called the Department of Taxation of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. ”

Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Sihai couldn't help but hesitate.

It stands to reason that this is a good thing. After all, his official position has been promoted, and it also means that he has been valued by His Majesty.

This is an opportunity to stand alone, as long as you do a good job, it will not be a problem to be promoted in the future. But Chen Sihai really didn't want to go.

Because in Chen Sihai's view, it is not a good thing to collect taxes, because it is not too difficult; Among them, trivial things such as transshipment are not what he wants to do.

Seeing Chen Sihai hesitating, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Aiqing has something to say, but it's okay to talk about it." ”

"Your Majesty, this person doesn't understand many things in officialdom, but he likes to investigate and punish corrupt officials. On the side of the General Administration, the minister is very comfortable, and let the minister collect taxes, the minister may not have such a fine mind. ”

Glancing at Chen Sihai, Zhu Youxiao didn't know what to say.

Don't these officials in the court blush and their hearts beat when they speak?

You must know that Chen Sihai's resume is all in Zhu Youxiao's heart, Chen Sihai said this, but this is just a reason not to look for it.

Zhu Youxiao also understood in his heart, so he looked at Chen Sihai and said, "This matter is not so easy. ”

After saying this, Zhu Youxiao took a sip of tea.

Chen Sihai couldn't help but be stunned, and his eyes lit up.

Seeing that Chen Sihai's interest was aroused, Zhu Youxiao continued: "If it is just to collect taxes, I will not let you go. ”

"Although I am not a wise man, I still know how to make good use of people. You are serious, upright, and talented, and I know all of this, and if you are asked to collect taxes, it will be really overkill. ”

After Chen Sihai heard this, the expression on his face finally softened, so he hurriedly asked, "Then I don't know what Your Majesty asked your ministers to do?" ”

"Of course, it's for you to check people."

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said: "It has been more than 200 years since the Ming Dynasty, and it has been more than 200 years since the honors and nobles. In the past 200 years, it can be said that the vicissitudes of life, things are wrong, how many people are still loyal to the Ming Dynasty? Still holding the glory of your ancestors? ”

"I don't know any of this, but it's certain that many of them have fallen. These people spend all day drinking, without any loyalty, righteousness and shame, oppressing the good, and making the people of the Ming Dynasty miserable. ”

"I asked you to go to check on them. Start with taxes and see how many people they have killed and how many fields they have embezzled. ”

"I'm afraid this matter is more dangerous than in Henan, and if you are not careful, something will happen. So I want to ask you, do you dare to go? ”

Zhu Youxiao doesn't believe in the rules of officialdom.

Many people have said that there is no way to kill people in officialdom, and there is a bottom line. Zhu Youxiao didn't believe this.

Once the time comes to life, what is the bottom line?

They can do murder and arson!

Suicide, these three words are not plain words.

If Chen Sihai really did something big, it would definitely be very dangerous, and if he didn't do it well, he would commit suicide or have an accident.

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, Chen Sihai not only did not flinch, but became excited.

He took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, please let the minister do this matter, the minister still has no regrets after dying." At the same time, please rest assured that Your Majesty will not disappoint Your Majesty and will definitely find out everything! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said with a smile: "Then do it well." ”

"By the way, I handed over the brocade guard to you, isn't it quite pleasant for you to cooperate with Xu Xianchun? This time, you take him with you, firstly, to protect your safety on the Jinyi Guard, and secondly, it is appropriate to use someone to let them do it. After all, Jinyiwei has little to do with it, and there are many places where they have nothing to do. ”

"By the way, you can ask for any other conditions." Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said with a smile: "As long as it's not too excessive, I will promise you." ”

"Your Majesty, the minister wants a person to go to the tax department with the minister." Chen Sihai was not polite, and said directly.

"Let whom?" Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Tell me?" ”

If it weren't for someone who was too great, Zhu Youxiao would have been ready to let him go. After all, at this time, it is normal for Chen Sihai to need manpower, and things are not easy to do after all.

"Your Majesty, what Chen wants is the Lord of the District Dalun District." Chen Sihai hurriedly said.

Ou Dalun?

This person is not a good-natured, absolutely old stubborn, disciple of Hai Rui Haigang Peak.

Zhu Youxiao never thought that Chen Sihai would want to be Dalun.

However, Zhu Youxiao can also understand, after all, this kind of thing needs to be done by someone like Ou Dalun.

Just like Hai Rui was in Jiangnan back then, even the Tian Na of Xu Jie's family was still in the same place. It doesn't matter who you are, as long as you violate the laws of the Ming Dynasty, do bad things, and clean you up to death, Hu Zongxian, the governor of the southeast, will not give face.

"If he passes, I'm afraid you'll be a deputy again." Zhu Youxiao looked at Chen Sihai and said with a smile.

"To do things for His Majesty and for the court, official positions are not important." Chen Sihai hurriedly bowed down and said, "As long as you can do things well." ”
