In the case of insufficient food, it is necessary to find a new grain production area, and Liaodong naturally fell into Zhu Yijun's eyes. Northeast Plains, black soil, fertile fields!

Sticks beating roe deer scooping fish, pheasants flying into the rice pot, absolutely not talking.

Coupled with rich mineral deposits and various geographical resources, the Northeast is a big treasure trove. Medicinal herbs, furs, etc., are all good things, and with the addition of food, Zhu Yijun can't find a reason not to fight the Northeast.

Coupled with the fact that the land is vast and sparsely populated, large-scale development can be carried out, which will be the top priority of Zhu Yijun in the next decade.

If you want to carry out the ideal plan, sweep the steppe, defeat the Jurchens, and annex Korea, these are all things to do. It's just that Zhu Yijun has been waiting, waiting for the right time.

After cultivating so much internal strength, Zhu Yijun is waiting for that day to come.

"It's time for Zhang Weixian to come back!" Zhu Yijun sighed and said that if you want to change Liaodong, you must first change Jizhou. After Jizhou is stabilized, it is the best policy to take action against Liaodong.

After the completion of the military reform in Jizhou, Li Chengliang couldn't jump even if he wanted to, if he was disobedient, it would completely abolish him.

At this time, Zhu Yijun will definitely not scruple about a Li Chengliang. Although his subordinates are not fierce generals and ministers, they are not too bad.

When he finishes everything, he will definitely be able to beat everything, Zhu Yijun has this confidence.

The military reform of Jiliao needs a suitable person to preside, and this person naturally cannot be Zeng Shengwu, so Zhang Weixian has become the most suitable person. Status, experience, ability, plus youth.

In the military reform of Jiliao, Zhu Yijun was transferred to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies and established the first military subdivision of the Ming Dynasty in Jiliao.

Completely kick out the civilian officials from the Jiliao Military Region and establish a complete military system. This was a bold attempt by Zhu Yijun to turn the Jiliao Military Sub-district into a prefecture directly under the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

Return the power belonging to the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and create a separation of military and political affairs in the Ming Dynasty.

The magistrate was no longer in charge of the army, and completely divided the civil and military forces.

Whether there will be trouble in the future, Zhu Yijun thought about it, but he still decided to try, because history has proved that this is the right way. As for the local military generals' self-respect for their troops, with the conscription system, this situation will be greatly reduced.

The position of military commander is no longer hereditary, and it is changed to the same three-year term as civil officials, and can be used for a maximum of two terms, and then it will be rotated.

The Governor's Office of the Five Armies held the food and ordnance in his hands, and the supply of the army was also uniformly allocated by the central government, not by the local supply, which Zhu Yijun had pondered many times.

Give the armed forces full autonomy in operations and not under the blind command of civilian officials.

Civil officials who can fight can be transferred to military posts, breaking the boundaries between civilian officials and military generals, and vigorously appointing young graduates of the martial arts hall. The first experimental military region of the Ming Dynasty was built in Jizhou, and the person Zhu Yijun chose to do this was naturally Zhang Weixian.

In the following days, although the court was chaotic, there was nothing missing.

Shen Li, acting as the secretary of the ministry, quickly sorted out the affairs of the ministry, and after Zeng Xingwu arrived at the household department, he also stabilized the situation very quickly, which made Zhu Yijun breathe a sigh of relief.

When everything calmed down, another matter attracted everyone's attention, that is, the public trial of the case of Zhao Deqian, the servant of the ministry, will be held in Dali Temple, and you can observe it.

For this case, there is no one in the capital who does not care. Especially with the new system of the Department of Law and Discipline, everyone wants to know what is going on.

On the day of the public trial, many people gathered in the main hall of Dali Temple, and everyone was waiting.

At the back of the main hall, Zhu Yijun was wearing civilian clothes and drinking tea under the service of Zhang Whale. In front of Zhu Yijun were all the officials involved this time, and the presiding judge was Dai Heng, the secretary of Dali Temple.

A man in his fifties, a little thin, with a very keen eye, was born in criminal prosecution, and has been rolling on the criminal investigation side for many years. As the chief judge this time, Dai Heng is still under a lot of pressure.

In fact, Zhu Yijun's expectations for Dai Heng are still very high, otherwise he would not have been transferred to the position of Dali Siqing.

After the judicial reform, the position of Dali Siqing will become very important, if this person is not suitable, it will cause a lot of trouble, Zhu Yijun understands this very well.

On the other side, the people from the Department of Justice and Discipline, who are the plaintiffs in this case.

Naturally, it will not be Qi Fei who will come on behalf of the Law and Discipline Division, but Qi Bian, and the people from the Criminal Department are also there, and they are responsible for sentencing. Dali Temple is responsible for conviction, and the Criminal Department is responsible for sentencing, and the two sides are not too involved.

"I'm here today, just to take a look, and you can interrogate you as you want." Putting down the teacup in his hand, Zhu Yijun said directly.

Although Zhu Yijun said so, the pressure on everyone is still very great, the emperor is here, if he doesn't perform well, it is estimated that the official road will be over. Especially Dai Heng, he has participated in the interrogation of the three divisions, but this is the first time to interrogate him like this.

"Alright, let's go!" Zhu Yijun waved his hand and said, "There are a lot of people from outside, don't make any trouble, I'm here." ”

"Your Ministers obey!" The crowd agreed, turned around and walked outside.

At the gate of Dali Temple, many people are watching the excitement, and most of the people standing in the front are richly dressed sons. There are young children of nobles and relatives, and there are also many scholars with meritorious reputations.

There are many stewards in the officials' families and the like, and they come here very simply, that is, to see what is going on. No one doesn't care about this new way of doing things.

Dai Heng walked to his seat with his official uniform, stretched out his hand and patted the shocking wood, and said loudly: "Ascend to the hall!" ”

The officials of Dali Temple hurriedly shouted loudly: "Mighty! ”

Although they didn't know that the emperor was behind, but with so many people watching, they couldn't lose face, otherwise their jobs would be gone. Today, the clothes of the officials of Dali Temple are particularly neat, and the waist board is also exceptionally straight.

"The plaintiff is in court!" Dai Heng's face was silent, but he was very satisfied in his heart.

Following Dai Heng's words, Qi Bian walked up under his official uniform.

"Qi Bian, the Department of Law and Discipline, I've seen Master Dai!" Qi Bian bowed to Dai Heng.

Dai Heng nodded in return, the current Department of Law and Discipline is definitely the most popular yamen in the Ming Dynasty, and no one can ignore it. The shot was two waiters, and the movement was too big.

Stretching out his hand to take the stack of forms in front of him, Dai Heng looked at the first one, and then said: "We tried the first case, and the Department of Law and Discipline sued the money and the officials. ”

"Come on, bring the money and!" The hoopoe slapped the wood in surprise and said loudly.

It didn't take long for Qian He to be pressed up from below, compared to the high spirits when he first arrived in the capital, Qian He can be said to be embarrassed now. Although there is no passive punishment, the whole person still looks very decadent.

was pressed to the lobby by the officials, and the suppression directly pressed him to his knees.

Although Zhu Yijun wanted to change the judiciary, he didn't think about any doubtful interests to be attributed to the defendant, or any human rights treatment.

Although this will reduce the probability of unjust cases, this does not conform to the actual situation of the Ming Dynasty, and it is easy to cause problems. The trial of the case is still in accordance with the previous interrogation method, and it is handled as it should be done.

Dai Heng glanced at Qian He, and then asked, "Who is kneeling?" ”

"Student money and see adults!" Qian He hurriedly spoke.

Qian He had also read out the interrogation to him before, and he also knew what his situation was now.

"Qian He, the Department of Law and Discipline sued you for bribing officials, can you plead guilty?" Dai Heng nodded, and then spoke directly.

If Qian He pleaded guilty, then there would be no need to interrogate the case, just let him sign and draw the charge. Of course, there is still to be human and material evidence, which has been provided by the Department of Law and Discipline.

Qian He knelt on the ground, his face was depressed, and he didn't hesitate at all, and said directly: "The student pleaded guilty." ”

In fact, Qian He can't admit guilt if he wants to, and the evidence of his purchase of the official position is conclusive, not only supported by the person he bragged about, but also the testimony of an official of the Literature and Anthology Department of his ministry, and the testimony of a person who asks Xinzhai.

There is also physical evidence, and there is also evidence of the antique he bought from Wenxinzhai.

Zhu Yijun sat in the back and drank tea while listening to the trial in front of him, and as one person was brought up one by one, the expression on Zhu Yijun's face did not change. In fact, there was nothing wrong with this interrogation, and the Department of Justice and Discipline did everything in advance.

"Leave someone here, let's go back to the palace!" Zhu Yijun said lightly, stood up and walked out.

Zhu Yijun actually doesn't care about this, he wants to use these two big cases to promote something. Such a big case, if he is not pretended, then he is not a qualified emperor.

At this point today, it means more to show your attitude, and in fact you don't plan to do anything.

Killing a few corrupt officials is not something that Zhu Yijun should pay attention to, and these things are not so important to him. Daming is so big, there are so many corrupt officials, can you kill them?

Back in the palace, Zhu Yijun stood at the window, looking at the clouds in the distance, playing with two jade balls in his hands.

This is a stress-relieving toy specially made by Zhu Yijun, two small jade balls made of the best warm jade for play. Zhu Yijun likes to turn these two jade balls when he is fine, thinking quietly.

Although Daming has done a lot of things this year, it is basically advancing according to the plan.

Now Zhu Yijun has to do another thing, something that he must do, like a fish in his throat. Glancing at Zhang Whale, Zhu Yijun instructed: "Let people write down the process of the trial and show it to me." ”

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Whale agreed, bowed down and said.

The entire case was interrogated for three days, and after the case was tried, it was directly handed over to the Criminal Department for sentencing. From beginning to end, Zhu Yijun never intervened, just watched quietly and waited.

Three days later, the sentencing of the case was handed to Zhu Yijun.

Looking at the sentencing of the Criminal Department, Zhu Yijun sneered, and threw the paperwork on the table casually, these people are really donkeys, if they don't smoke it, they won't leave.

"Call the cabinet ministers, the six ministers and the squire, and discuss the matter."

Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Whale and said in a deep voice, his tone was very serious.

Hearing Zhu Yijun's tone, Zhang Whale suddenly felt excited, he knew that something was going on this time. It is estimated that it is the Criminal Department, but what does the life or death of the Criminal Department have to do with him, and he hurriedly said: "Yes, Emperor!" ”

The cabinet scholars and the six scholars were a little stunned when they heard this, nothing happened recently!

Could it be that it is to discuss the matter of Zeng Shengwu entering the cabinet? It is possible that there are now four scholars in the cabinet, Shen Shixing is the first assistant, Yu Youding is the second assistant, and the two scholars are Wang Xijue and Fang Fengshi.

If Zeng Xingwu is allowed to enter the cabinet, it is not said that no one will stand up against this matter.

Even Shen Shixing can't, although he really doesn't want to be in the cabinet. Now the cabinet has the right to say, and the second assistant Yu Youding has a good relationship with him, basically whatever he says.

After Wang Guoguang left, he became even more powerful, although Shen Li, who was in charge of the ministry, did not deal with him, but Shen Li was young and had little qualifications, and he was far worse than Wang Guoguang.

If Zeng Xingwu entered the cabinet as the head of the household department, and added Shen Li, the secretary of the history department who was in charge of the ministry, it would be difficult to say.

Even so, Shen Shixing would not object to Zeng Xingwu entering the cabinet, when Zeng Xingwu went to Xuanda, the emperor said that he would reserve the throne for Zeng Shengwu. The words are still in my ears, who dares to let the emperor lose his trust?

Shen Shixing didn't dare!

If it is said that Zeng Xingwu Xuanda's affairs were messed up, it may still be possible, but Zeng Xingwu's affairs in Xuanda were very good, very beautiful, and so beautiful that people can't find fault with them.

At this time, he opposed Zeng Shengwu entering the cabinet, unless he had a brain pump.

There are many people with such thoughts, anyway, they are all here to go through the process, and everyone's demeanor is quite relaxed.

But after entering the main hall, everyone felt that something was wrong, and the atmosphere was very solemn! The surrounding eunuchs and palace maids were all silent, and even Zhang Whale stood beside the emperor with a calm face.

When Shen Shixing saw this scene, he chuckled in his heart.

Suffer!

Zhu Yijun didn't care what they thought, and after everyone saluted, Zhu Yijun said lightly: "I read Taizu's record today, and I want to learn something from Taizu." ”

"Seeing what Taizu said, I was very touched in my heart."

Finished!

Taizu's words made the emperor feel that this is definitely not a good thing. When Taizu was the time, what kind of life did civil officials live?

"Taizu once said, 'Corruption, the great evil of the country, this evil is not reformed, and if you want to become a good government, you will not be able to get it', I deeply think so." Zhu Yijun's voice was not high at all, but the people below were all trembling.

"In the past, everyone had no money, and they didn't have enough money to spend, so I can understand that I can collect some ice and carbon respect, and take some fire and consume silver."

"But what about some people?" Zhu Yijun said this, and his voice suddenly rose: "The family lives in a high-rise compound, the concubine marries one room after another, ten thousand acres of fertile land, and dozens of dishes per meal are still not enough." ”

"They are still greedy, they are still greedy, they have enough food for the people for ten years, are they eating? That is drinking the blood of the people, sucking the marrow of the people! ”
