Chapter 118: Progress

This is the most worrying problem of the three major bachelors, 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, it is just that His Majesty wants to change his physical condition through the art of Buddhism, then everyone also took a lot of effort to bring down Li Guang, which can be regarded as surviving that difficulty.

If His Majesty is provoked this time and causes the monarch and ministers to deviate from morality, then many people are afraid that they will be unlucky, especially this time Dongchang shows its might.

"Three adults, the celebrant Grandpa He is here!" The cabinet clerk walked in from the outside, and when he saw the three bigwigs sitting there, the atmosphere in the room was a little depressing, and he couldn't help but lower his head and speak, and then he stood in place and didn't 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 his head and said to the clerk: "Please come in!" “

These three are cabinet scholars, especially Liu Jian, who is the first assistant scholar of the cabinet, this person's status is naturally enough, and they don't have to go out to pick him up when they face He Neng, and taking an invitation is already very face-saving for He Neng. After a short time, He Neng walked in under the guidance of the clerk, and when he saw the three scholars, he hurriedly smiled and said, "I've seen Liu Gong, Xie Gong, and Li Gong!" ”

"Grandpa He is polite!" Liu Jian smiled and said, "But what does Your Majesty command?" “

"You can't hide anything from Liu Gong!" He Neng nodded and said: "Your Majesty has drafted a decree from the cabinet, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Shuntian Mansion will investigate the lawlessness of the Marquis of Shouning, and all those who have servants of the Marquis of Shouning run rampant in the township and bully people will be severely punished." Shouninghou Zhuangtian who encroached on the people's fields will be returned to the people, and the people must be compensated, in addition, Shouninghou acted excessively, fined for two years, and grounded for one month. “

He Neng's words made the three of them stunned, 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 a holy decree come at this time?

"Three adults?" Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, He Neng asked with some hesitation, what's wrong with the three adults?

"Father-in-law He has replied to His Majesty, and the ministers will draft the decree immediately!" Liu Jian would also come to his senses at this time, and hurriedly agreed.

When He Neng left, Liu Jian said: "Your Majesty is still benevolent, and he is also concerned with affection, His Majesty has never severely punished Shou Ninghou before, this time it can be regarded as setting a precedent, and it can be regarded as appeasing those people." Saying a little emotional smile on his face, and at the same time more relieved, it was obvious that Liu Jian was in a state of self-satisfaction.

The so-called famous ministers, the so-called ideals of literati, that is, to Jun Yao Shun, now His Majesty is acting like this, Liu Jian is very relieved.

Xie Qian and Li Dongyang glanced at each other, and Li Dongyang said with some concern: "What if those people have to make inches?" ”

The atmosphere in the room was instantly embarrassing, and the expression on Liu Jian's face instantly froze, and after a long silence, Liu Jian smiled bitterly and said, "Yes! Give an inch and take a mile. “

In the eyes of the three of them, this time the matter was afraid that it would not be so easy to end, and after thinking about it, Xie Qian opened his mouth and said: "The matter in Yangzhou can't be stopped no matter what, but we don't have no way to do it." Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in Yangzhou, we can write to the head of the household department, asking him to use some strength, not to mention anything else, and try to implicate some officials as little as possible. ”

"What an eventful season!" Li Dongyang sighed on the side, and then said: "We also know that he is an upright person, not the kind of person who knows how to be flexible, and I am afraid that it will be beyond his strength to hand over this matter to him." ”

"Mu Bin of Jinyiwei is over there, I'm afraid there is not much that Tong Zhong can do, the left man who went to the Metropolitan Procuratorate this time is Yu Shi Weili, this person is upright, and he has been in the Metropolitan Procuratorate for a long time, and he should be able to make contributions to this matter. It's just that he is not a deputy envoy, and if he wants to make it, he is afraid that he will not be able to do it, so it is better for us to make a statement to His Majesty, since the matter involves officials, it is better to promote him to be the deputy envoy! ”

Liu Jian glanced at Li Dongyang, and then at Xie Qian, his face was expressionless, of course he knew what these two people meant, but Liu Jian was noncommittal.

"My lord, the clerk from Yangzhou!" The clerk walked in from the outside again, holding a document in his hand, which was just sent this morning, but because several scholars had an explanation, all the documents about Yangzhou should be sent as soon as possible, and after the clerk found this document, he naturally did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent it over.

took the document and glanced at it, Liu Jian's face instantly turned ugly, and it took a while to hand the document to Xie Qian, and then said, "Something's wrong!" “

Seeing Xie Qian reading the documents and Li Dongyang looking at himself, Liu Jian had no choice but to speak: "Liu Huaidao, the imperial envoy of the two Huai patrolling salt, was arrested, and Liu Qi took refuge in Shouninghou and Dongchang, and the Dongchang said that they received the secret report of Liu Qi, the transfer envoy, and then discovered the illegal salt case in Yangzhou. ”

"Liu Qi also registered all the proceeds of his embezzlement over the years, and handed them all over, worth more than two million taels."

Liu Jian's words directly shocked Li Dongyang, Xie Qian handed the finished document to Li Dongyang, and then said: "With Liu Qi, the implication will be widespread, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not use Dongchang, but used Jinyiwei, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still measured." However, Liu Huaidao, the imperial envoy of the tour, was arrested, and things got big! ”

Li Dongyang was also embarrassed suddenly, he just wanted to let Wei Li, the left of the Imperial Palace, be promoted to the deputy envoy of the Qincha, and he ended up doing such a thing.

The status of the imperial history of the salt patrol is very special, at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial history of the imperial history of the salt patrol was temporarily dispatched, during the Yongle period, the imperial history began to patrol the salt specially. During the Xuande period, he was selected as a member of the imperial history to patrol and ban leather and illegal salt in Yangzhou Mansion and other places. During the orthodox years, the system of inspecting the imperial history of salt was initially formed, and the Ming court ordered the two Huai, two Zhejiang, Changlu and other transport divisions to send a member of the imperial history every year to lead the inspection of the forbidden covenant and urge the salt class. There was a repetition in Jingtai, but it quickly stabilized. During the Chenghua years, customization was basically formed.

With the passage of time, the actual status and authority of the imperial history of the salt patrol have gradually improved, and they are above the envoys of the capital to the salt transport.

"Liu Qi is harmful!" Liu Dongyang put down the paperwork and sighed and said: "Liu Qi took refuge in Shouninghou, and now things are getting more and more troublesome, Jinyi Wei investigated the case this time, and it is not easy for us to get the case over." His Majesty doesn't trust the officials of Nanzhili, and there is such a thing in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is not easy to do! “

The problem now is the issue of the right to handle cases, and if the right to handle cases is on one's side, perhaps there is still room for things to turn around.
