When Zhang Shize, the British public who was difficult to overcome, learned that he was going to be the imperial history of the right capital, he thought that the military commander of the Generalissimo Fujun's Mansion was joking with him.

He is a nobleman and a military attaché, how can he be the imperial history of the right capital? Shouldn't the imperial history be a civil official from the imperial examination?

"The British duke, in the past, the imperial history was in charge of many things, and all political gains and losses, military and civilian benefits and diseases, all had to be outspoken...... So you have to be a jinshi to be proper. Now the imperial history is in charge of catching corrupt officials, and it is overkill to use Jinshi as the imperial history. ”

In the Pingshan Hall of Daming Temple, Zhu Cihong was smiling and explaining the latest functions of imperial history to Zhang Shize, who came to resign.

"Don't use Jinshi?" Zhang Shize frowned, and spread his hands, "But you can't let the minister be the imperial history, and the minister won't catch corrupt officials......"

"How not?" Zhu Cihong smiled, "You won't catch corrupt officials, you will always be corrupt officials, right?" You have been an official in Beijing for so many years, haven't you been greedy? Those old Xiyan Zong, Eighteen Zhi and Wu Xiang haven't sent silver to your family? Surely there is, right? You have experience as a corrupt official, so you must be very good at catching corrupt officials! ”

"Ministers, ministers, ministers, ......" When Zhang Shize heard this, his black face turned a little white with fright, and he couldn't speak well, and he got up from the chair and was about to kneel.

"Don't kneel, don't kneel, don't be afraid...... British duke" Zhu Cihong smiled and waved his hand, "Although this palace knows that you are greedy a lot, you are a hero who overcomes difficulties!" The credit is very great, enough to compensate for the past sins, so not only will the palace not be investigated, but when you arrive in Nanjing, you will be given a field and a house! ”

British Gong Zhang Shize is a solid-hearted person, and when Zhu Cihong said this, he also felt that he had made a lot of contributions. helped the prince block the city gate, and also donated military salary to the prince, fought in Tianjin, and protected the emperor in Dagukou. Among the great nobles who followed the south, except for Zhu Chunchen, he has a lot of credit.

"That's what Chitose Ye said," he smiled and sat down again, "The minister is indeed a little meritorious...... I don't know how many farmlands I can get? ”

He was a nobleman in Beijing, and his fields and houses were all around Beijing, and he had no property in Nanjing. I fled again, and I didn't have much floating wealth with me, and I had a large family, and I was a little empty.

Listening to his question, Zhu Cihong sighed bitterly: "British duke, do you know that this palace is now a debt!" ”

"Debt? When did Your Highness become in debt? Zhang Shize was stunned when he heard this. You are so old and rich, how can you be in debt? The millions scraped in Beijing have not been spent, and four more salt bosses have been arrested here in Yangzhou, just waiting to be raided! The other four salt generals were also frightened and hemorrhaged, 6 million taels of salt tax a year!

When you usurp the throne, you must be the broadest emperor in the history of the Ming Dynasty!

"More than 60,000 new troops!" Zhu Cihong shook his head and said, "The British Duke should know, right?" Starting from the Marshal's Mansion, you can divide the fields! At least 50 acres of paddy fields, and you have to add it to the first level! More than 60,000 people, not 10 million acres is not enough! The nobles and officials who also followed also scored! Not a few million acres is not enough!

British duke, you have to help the palace find 10 million acres on the southeast ground. If you find it, the soldiers of the new army will continue to defend the court, and your family's farm house can be settled. ”

"This, this, this...... Chitose Lord wants to move the nobles and southeast guards in the capital? "The British public Zhang Shize is just sincere, not a fool, of course he understands what Zhu Cihong wants to do.

Zhu Cihong waved his hand and said with a smile: "What can't move?" This palace is the most lenient, don't you know that the British duke still knows? ”

Is it? Are you still forgiving? The British Duke looked disbelieving.

Zhu Cihong also frowned a little, how could this prince be so sincere? But it doesn't matter, I'm also a real person, and I never tell nonsense.

"British Duke," Zhu Cihong said in a deep tone, "The mission that this palace is giving you now is the commander, the same knowledge, the servant, the thousand households, and the hundred families of the eight guards and thirty-four houses on the territory of the two mansions of Dou Yi Dou Huaiyang...... This time it wasn't so polite when I was in Denglai Erfu! How much land does Bawei and Twenty-Four have, it is clearly stated in the fish scale atlas, not a single acre can be missing, and all of them must be handed over!

Those commanders, fellow intellectuals, servants, thousands of households, hundreds of households, and those military scholars, if they are willing to cooperate well, hand over the land, and then move their families to live in Huai'an and Yangzhou. The palace didn't ask them how much they had been greedy for ink in the past, allowed them to keep their floating wealth, and allowed them to take the official examination.

If you are not willing to cooperate, then you will be polite, what to do if you invade the military tun, it is clearly written in the Ming law! ”

He looked at the British Duke Zhang Shize, "The British Princess, are you willing to take a team of Right Inspectors and Captains of the Imperial Inspectorate Academy to handle this errand?" ”

"Chitose Lord, what is the Right Prosecutor's Imperial History and the Captain of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?" Zhang Shize didn't understand it a little.

Zhu Cihong said: "The decree for the reform of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will be issued soon, and the imperial history will be divided into two classes, the left and the right will be corrupt, and the right will be corrupt. Among them, in addition to the imperial history of the left capital, the left class imperial history is used to lift people, show talents, do not need to enter the scholar, and are not allowed to transfer to other positions, once into the procuratorate, until the Shi is the imperial history. But the merit of the case can also be divided from the dirty silver recovered!

The right class of the imperial history is filled with the children of Xun Wei, the right capital of the imperial history below, once into the procuratorate, until the Zhishi is the imperial history. The same is preferential, and there are also shares that can be taken!

As for the lieutenants of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they were transferred from the army and were responsible for the arrest, search, inspection, and detention affairs, and served for no more than two years. ”

Zhang Shize listened to Zhu Cihong's introduction, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead! Prince Zhu is going to use cool officials to rectify the rule of officials!

He will definitely get a group of people from the north who have lost their property and are crazy and crazy, and let them investigate the corrupt officials and nobles in the south, and find out that the stolen money can be shared, and they are not allowed to hold other official positions......

Zhu Cihong smiled: "British duke, there is no way in this palace...... If you don't check it, what does the palace give to the soldiers of the new army? What do you give to such a loyal follower of the nobles and officials? You go and talk to those people first, as long as they are willing to spit out the swallowed Juntun Tian Mansion, and then come to Yangzhou to ask for a crime, the palace will not ask about other things!

As for you, don't be afraid, you are a loyal minister of this palace, and this palace will not let you be checked, no matter how fierce the imperial history of the right class is, it will not hurt you! British duke, are you loyal or not? ”

It turns out that Zhu Cihong is not a good prince of the people who can't rub sand in his eyes, and he is not tolerant of corruption and bribery, but he can't tolerate the kind of officials who make money and are still upright.

If you want to make money, you have to be a dog! Be obedient, do things well, and don't be too greedy, this prince should only be invisible...... Who let it be a feudal society now, it is normal for there to be corrupt officials in feudal society, if everyone is like Hai Rui Bao Qingtian, what kind of democratic revolution is there to make?

"Loyal! The minister is the most loyal, and he is loyal to His Royal Highness the Prince! "Where does Zhang Shize dare to say that he is disloyal? If you say infidelity, your net worth and life will be gone!

"It's good to be loyal, go back and prepare, and when the palace finds you a helper, you can go and investigate the corrupt officials."

Zhang Shize thought of something at this time, and his brows twisted slightly: "Master Chitose, as far as the minister knows, there are many commanders, fellow intellectuals and servants in Huai and Yang Zhuwei, and there are people who are staying behind...... If the minister investigates too hard, he is afraid that someone in the capital will jump out to protect his shortcomings. ”

Now there are two power centers in Yangzhou and Nanjing in the southeast!

Although the two sides have not yet torn their faces, it is also obvious that the nobles and officials in Nanjing are not obedient to Yangzhou.

So far, none of Zhao Zhilong, Han Zanzhou, and Xu Hongji, the bigwigs of the southern capital, have come to Yangzhou to see them!

Zhu Cihong smiled: "Then it is even more necessary to investigate!" After checking Huaiyang, go to check Liudu again! At that time, there will be a lot of corrupt officials and corrupt officials lining up one by one for you to check...... You've got to hurry.

By the way, Hongu has found a helper for you. His name is Ji Kun, he is a person from Yangzhou Guard, he has a meritorious reputation, temporarily give him a left class to supervise the imperial history, and there are also many military civil officials in Huaiyang Zhuwei, let him check! ”
