The deaths of hundreds of merchants, including the deaths of the men in their families, and the tragic fate of their dependents who were sent as prostitutes. In Daming, there was no wave at all, not only did no one stand up to speak for them, but some people even stood up and beat the water dogs. not only advocated that he should be severely punished, but also demanded the exile of his nine clans.

Why all of a sudden, all of them are so deeply aware of the righteousness, and there is even no shortage of those people's Shanxi compatriots. After all, they are also hateful.

Why should the thieves who are officials want to be beheaded and exiled, and why should those profiteers and captives be killed and robbed of their homes?

Go there and reason, no! The nine clans of those profiteers must be exiled together.

Can't afford to be cheaper anymore!

This ** businessman, if they hadn't colluded with the Eastern Emperor, the first emperor would not have died, and now he is still in the Jinan Domain's mansion to play chess, calligraphy and painting, and cultivate his sentiments!

In this regard, Zhu Guoqiang naturally would not object, and directly agreed to the order.

Jokes, can you disagree.

With more than 300 people, counting it, their nine clans can exile at least 100,000 people.

These hundreds of thousands of people, and the hundreds of thousands of people abroad, even if they are dissatisfied with themselves, what does it matter? After waiting for ten or twenty years, pardoning their status as exiles and giving them the status of good citizens, they must be grateful for the emperor's grace.

Zhu Guoqiang is convinced of this.

Of course, for now, let them go to Nanyang to contribute to the construction of Daming!

On the other hand, more than 10,000 taels of silver were obtained from those Jin merchants, which really made Zhu Guoqiang happy for a while.

It doesn't matter what antiques are calligraphy and paintings.

The emperor is not short of hungry soldiers.

There is money in your hands, and you don't panic in your heart!

With this money in hand, the next thing will be much easier!

What's more important right now?

Is it enthronement?

Of course not!

Only a thief like Li Zicheng would have something in mind to ascend the throne and seize orthodoxy.

For true politicians, the consolidation of power is all that matters right now!

Just when the Emperor Qiansheng, who had just ascended the throne for less than a year, was thinking about how to consolidate his own power. Over there, in the minister's duty room, holding the excerpt sent by Shanxi, Li Jiantai's expression could not be said to be rich.

He is a native of Shanxi, when Li Thief seized Shanxi, not only did he have relatives who died at the hands of thieves, but most of the family business accumulated over several generations was lost to the soldiers.

But now, when he looks at the family business accumulated by those "profiteers", he is so jealous.

"The Wang family, the fields and houses are all over the provinces of Shanxi, and the real estate is not less than 100,000 acres. Jin Jia......"

Staring at the numbers above, Li Jiantai finally set his eyes on the total number again.

"More than 7 million acres! Shousuke, you said that these profiteers are guarding this Tada mansion, and they actually collude with the Eastern Prisoners, which is really innocent......"

Although he is also from Shanxi, when talking about those traitors, Li Jiantai did not have the slightest sympathy because he was a fellow countryman, and even said it sternly.

"Shoufu, in the opinion of the lower ministers, this matter of exile of the nine clans of profiteers must not be delayed any longer, and it will change later, from the perspective of the lower officials, this matter does not need to pass the trial of the three divisions, since it is already a prisoner set by His Majesty, you may as well make a special special case and go overseas, besides, when Your Majesty specially ordered to kill these profiteers, it did not go through the three law divisions, if this exile is through the three law divisions, the ministers are worried about ......"

deliberately lowered his voice, Li Jiantai looked like he was thinking about the emperor's son.

According to the Ming Dynasty's custom, major cases should be tried by the Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

But the problem is that whether it is killing the "subordinate officials" or killing the traitorous Jin merchants, they have not been tried by the three law divisions. This is logically out of accordance with the law, but the problem is ...... Who would dare to say!

The reason why Li Jiantai is so concerned is not for anything else, but for the land of the nine clans of the Jin Shang Dynasty who was exiled!

More than 300 Jin merchants and nine clans involved in the scope of no less than 10,000 households, the field stores involved must also be astronomical, according to common sense, these people's field stores are allowed to sell them for discount, so many fields, houses suddenly poured into the market, the price ...... It must be outrageously low, just in time to take the opportunity to collect a batch and spread the previous losses.

Li Jiantai's careful thinking, even if someone sees through it, no one will poke him through, this kind of thing...... It's not even favoritism. It's just a normal business, in fact, when you encounter such an opportunity to buy the bottom, everyone will be moved.

But being moved doesn't mean ignoring anything, Song Xuezhu immediately shook his head and said.

"Kuo Cang, this matter must be tried by the three divisions, whether it is the "thief case" or the "captive case", it is His Majesty's military rule of law, and the troubled times use heavy codes, this is the truth, but in the future, everything can not follow His Majesty's temperament, the dynasty still has the law, and the "conspiracy and rebellion" should flow thousands of miles according to the law, but there must be a triage of the three law divisions, and this procedure is chaotic! Otherwise, where is the law of the Ming Dynasty? ”

As a meritorious minister of the dragon, Song Xuezhu did get his due reward - he became the first chief assistant of the Qiansheng Dynasty, and as an auxiliary minister, he naturally won the trust of His Majesty. But this does not mean that he does not have his own ideas, he may have been dissatisfied with Chongzhen, but it does not mean that he is willing to be the echo worm of the Qiansheng Emperor.

Civil officials also have the bottom line of civil officials, even if Song Xuezhu knows that the emperor is extremely distrustful of civil officials, and even full of hostility, it does not prevent him from wanting to bring the politics of the Ming Dynasty back on the right track, rather than His Majesty's words to become a constitution.

"Before, Your Majesty to the military rule of law, but now can not be the military rule of the world, if you want to change this matter, there must be an opportunity, and the three law divisions will be tried, is the best opportunity, whether it is "from the reverse case" relatives, or "through the capture case" relatives, must first be tried by the three law divisions, to the Ming law prevails, otherwise, can not be exiled, as long as Your Majesty agrees, in the future, you and I will not be with the king like a tiger! ”

With a long sigh, Song Xuezhu's tone was quite heavy.

Nearest the king nearest the gallows!

Although officials have said such things, but in the Ming generation, who has really achieved "export into a constitution"?

That is, today, now doing these things, can today, be happy?

Song Xuezhu had no bottom in his heart, while Li Jiantai lowered his eyes quickly and stopped talking.

Are you kidding.

He's Song Xuezhu crazy, isn't he?

You actually want to seize power from the Holy Emperor? He didn't know, what was the first will of this lord on the day he ascended the throne?

It is to merge the six departments into the Metropolitan Inspectorate, and the supervision of the imperial history is called "Kedao", the same as the official, has the right to enter the palace to admonish, but the discerning people can see it, the job in the matter is not as good as before, the official of the Dao, I am afraid it will also be the scenery is no more.

Is Song Xuezhu crazy?

Of course he's not crazy, all he does is to get everything back on track. And his purpose was also to consolidate the power of the Ming Dynasty, at least in this respect, he was in agreement with the emperor.

Compared with him, some people are undoubtedly more realistic, for Chen Changgeng, who is the Minister of the Interior, he is very realistic, he was born in the Dewang Mansion and the official of the Shi Mansion, he looks at everything very lightly, he used to be the person of the prince, and now he is the emperor's person, in fact, from the day the emperor reset the Internal Affairs Office and set up the Minister of the Interior, Chen Changgeng has found his position - royal cronies. In fact, the establishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs was to serve the imperial family, and as its supreme governor, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs should of course be a close confidant of the emperor himself.

And it can be seen in the eyes of the Ming that this position is special, after all, the Minister of the Interior is one of the few important ministers who can enter the palace at any time, although this important minister is only a second-class minister.

Imperial Audience...... This privilege, not to mention, is comparable to several cabinet ministers, plus their power to participate in the military aircraft, it can even be said that the Minister of the Interior is almost a cabinet assistant without the name of a cabinet minister.

But most of the time, as the Minister of the Interior, Chen Changgeng is still dutifully serving the royal family.

Just like this, the things that were copied from Shanxi and confiscated from the Jin merchants were just counted and put into storage, and he entered the palace with a happy face to report. even deliberately brought a painting, after all, if you have a good thing, of course, you have to come and present it to the emperor as soon as possible, otherwise you can be regarded as a retainer.

When the painting was unfolded, looking at this national treasure that was so familiar that it could not be more familiar, Zhu Guoqiang was stunned for a while in surprise......
