Chapter 43: The Dream of the Lost Renjun

Listening to his wife's words, the Marquis of Xining was stunned for a moment, and asked with some hesitation: "What is the emperor for?" ”

"Now that the affairs of the Qian family are in an uproar, will the emperor not know? It's been a few days since you went to ask for sin, but the emperor didn't move. It's just that you went home and thought about it behind closed doors, obviously the emperor wanted to suppress this matter. ”

"The British man is wise!" Mrs. Xining Hou sighed.

His wife also sold Guanzi, Xining Hou asked eagerly: "Madam, don't sell Guanzi, okay?" ”

Looking at her husband's eagerness, Mrs. Xining Hou blushed, as if she had thought of something shy, and glanced at Xining Hou with disgust, and then said, "Do you remember what Qian Biao said just now?" ”

"Remember what he said? I'm so mad at him! Xining Hou said angrily.

pinched Xininghou, and Mrs. Xininghou said: "He said that it was not only the Qian family who came this time, but many salt merchants sent people, and these people would not watch the Qian family fall." This sentence made the concubine's body suddenly brighten, and the emperor may be waiting for these people. ”

Seeing that Xininghou frowned and pondered, Mrs. Xininghou said in a seductive manner: "Didn't the British prince say that the emperor's purpose is not the Qian family, nor is it the Xining Marquis Mansion. ”

Xining Hou was taken aback, and said in disbelief: "You mean, you mean?" ”

Nodding, Mrs. Xining Hou said: "Yes, the emperor is waiting for these people, waiting for these people to enter Beijing, waiting for them to come over." What the emperor wants this time is not just anyone's house, but all the salt of the Ming Dynasty. ”

Xining Hou sat on the chair dejectedly, and only murmured for a while: "I see, I see!" ”

"If that's the case, then it does make sense, the emperor does this, it really seems like he is waiting for something." Know-it-all, know-it-all, Xining Hou glared and said, "What about the military department?" ”

"Does it mean that the east is fighting the west, and the darkness is Chencang?"

Glancing at her father-in-law, Mrs. Xining Hou said angrily: "You are really a mallet, and the emperor still uses darkness to Chen Cang?" It's just a distraction, you see, the matter of the military department must end here. ”

"That's it? What do you mean? Xining Hou asked with some hesitation.

A similar conversation took place at the British Mansion, where Zhang Yuangong, the son of the British Prince, was asking a similar question.

Glancing at his son, Zhang Rong said angrily: "Your body bones, what do you have nothing to worry about?" Take good care of your body, live a few more years, and leave yourself a queen, and you will be worthy of your father and me. ”

Zhang Yuangong could only smile bitterly, he had injured fetal gas since he was a child, congenital insufficiency, not only his body was weak, but his fertility was also problematic, and he did not leave a descendant for so many years. By now, Zhang Yuangong no longer has this plan.

"Dad, isn't there Weixian?" Zhang Yuangong said with a wry smile: "How good are the bones of the body." ”

Zhang Rong sighed helplessly, his son is like this, and he can't say anything when he is a father.

"Fortunately, there is Wei Xian, look at the two of you, one is not in good health, the other is addicted to Fengyue all day long, writing poems and lyrics, lingering in the Qin Lou Chu Pavilion, fortunately Wei Xian was taught by me to grow up, follow his father, hum!"

Zhang Yuangong was speechless for a moment, why didn't you teach us two brothers? Haven't we also followed our own fathers since childhood?

But he didn't dare to say it, and it was estimated that he would definitely be scolded when he said this.

"Yes, Dad, how good Weixian is now!" Zhang Yuangong could only follow his father's words, and then changed the topic: "Then Dad, is the matter of the Ministry of War really ending here?" As soon as Zhao Xuan died, the matter was over? ”

"What if you don't?"

Zhang Rong sighed and said: "The Arsenal Division of the Ministry of War has not been like this for a day, it has been like this for a long time, if you really want to check it, will you check it before?" For so many years in the Ming Dynasty, so many people have been the scholars of the Ministry of War. ”

"Ducha? Let's not talk about whether it is checked or not, even if it is checked, do you know who is involved? Xu Jie? High arch? Or Zhang Juzheng? Or find out about Yan Song? If you continue to track it down like this, it will be a mess. ”

"Wu Dui and Wang Seal of the current Ministry of War, how long have they been in the Ministry of War, and it is estimated that they haven't figured out the Tao inside!"

"Besides, the Arsenal Division, which involves the soldiers and horses of the world, and the military households and border armies in various places are all involved in it. What if you want to find out some governors and soldiers from all over the country? Do you want to check it or not? ”

"Besides, do you think our honors are clean? There are a lot of people who have reached out in the arsenal division, what should I do if I find them? ”

"Kill them all?" Zhang Rong laughed at himself and said: "Many times, you know what is going on, but you also have to admit it. This matter is a good result until Zhao Xuan's death. ”

Zhang Yuangong nodded suddenly: "Then what's the point of the emperor doing this?" ”

"Stupid!" After scolding his son, Zhang Rong said angrily: "Of course, it is for the sake of the Arsenal Division, the Arsenal Division has been taken away by the emperor, and it is not natural to take away an Arsenal Division?" ”

"The Arsenal Division is in that group of civil officials, look at what they have done, of course the emperor wants to take it back."

Zhang Yuangong nodded again, and said with some excitement: "Isn't that the Arsenal Division going to be assigned to the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?" ”

Zhang Rong sighed, what kind of sin did he create!

I have been shrewd all my life, how did I give birth to two stupid sons, but fortunately I still have grandchildren. Pointing at Zhang Yuangong, Zhang Rong said angrily: "Sooner or later, I will make you angry, okay, go back to you!" ”

"Take care of your body, don't die in front of your father, you can't bear to let your father send a white-haired person to a black-haired person!"

Zhang Yuangong smiled helplessly, he also knew that he couldn't continue, but Zhang Rong's last sentence still touched him, looking at the white-haired father, Zhang Yuangong's eyes were a little red, his family's backer was old after all.

"Alright, don't be a child!" Zhang Rong waved his hand and asked Zhang Yuangong to leave.

Things did not surprise Zhang Rong, and the case was quickly closed by Dongchang and Jinyiwei.

The corrupt clique of the Arsenal Division headed by Liu Xuan was completely smashed, and the total amount of family property confiscated was more than 2.3 million taels of silver, as well as a large number of fields, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. The officials of the entire Arsenal Division, from top to bottom.

Looking at the list in his hand, Zhu Yijun sighed, speaking of which, Zhang Juzheng only copied out more than 100,000 taels from his house, which is really incorruptible!

Look at these people, a small warehouse steward, can actually copy out a value of 100,000 taels.

Throwing down the list casually, Zhu Yijun said helplessly: "Seventy percent of the confiscated money goes into the treasury and thirty percent goes into the inner treasury." "This is also a customary rule, if it is not distributed to the treasury, it is estimated that Zhu Yijun will be drowned by the ministers again.

"As for these officials, all those who embezzle less than 10,000 taels will be sent to hard labor, and when the embezzled money will be paid off, and when it will be counted. Those who embezzle more than 10,000 taels will be beheaded for public display. ”

"All men over the age of fifteen are in the army!" Zhu Yijun thought for a while, and added: "As for the female dependents, let them go back!" ”

"Those who embezzle more than 100,000 taels will be beheaded for public display, and the whole family will be confiscated."

This case was not investigated to the end, Zhu Yijun felt a little guilty, killed someone, and the man was in the army, if he was mutilating the female dependents, Zhu Yijun felt that it was a little too much. Fill them into the Teaching Division, their fate will be miserable, just follow the army and border pass!

The most important thing for a family is to be reunited, although I can't bear it in my heart, but this is also an example for those who come after me. Those who are put back, even if they are not filled into the Sect Division, and have no property, their lives will not be easy.

Zhu Yijun felt that sooner or later he would have to clean up the Teaching Division, what is the matter with official prostitutes, this kind of welfare treatment should be canceled, I haven't made a big deal in the harem, you are still official prostitutes, shameful, I still want to include prisoners in the harem!

sighed helplessly, after all, he is still a benevolent gentleman, and it is not his own style of a benevolent monarch to engage in this kind of thing. It seems that if you want to find someone to advocate it well, Sheng Shi Renjun will have the appearance of Sheng Shi Renjun.

"Yes, Emperor!" Zhang Jing nodded and said, "The old slave will go to the cabinet to pass the decree." ”

Listening to Zhang Whale talk about the cabinet, Zhu Yijun was a little helpless, Zhang Siwei has been too honest recently, and it's a little worrying to be honest, isn't this guy planning any big event? Zhu Yijun felt that it was better to be wary of him.

To say that he was frightened by himself and didn't dare to come out, Zhu Yijun felt that it was unlikely, once the desire for power swelled, how could it be so easy to take it back.

The end of the case of the Arsenal Division made everyone breathe a sigh of relief, although many people felt that it was too much to behead if they embezzled ten thousand taels, but Zhu Yijun did not engage in Zhulian, which also made these people breathe a sigh of relief.

embezzled more than 100,000 taels, and the whole family was confiscated, and the punishment was not light.

When I arrived at the border gate, life there was not easy!

Many people woke up instantly, and it seems that they should pay attention to collecting money in the future, and this kind of punishment is really scary. Even if it is the lowest, men do hard labor, for these officials, it is a very terrible thing.

Relying on hard labor to repay the embezzled money, you may not be able to pay it off for a lifetime.

If you embezzle more than 10,000 taels, you will be beheaded directly to show the public, and if you are over 15 years old, you will be beheaded to show the army, and if you are over 100,000 taels, you will be beheaded for public display, and the whole family will be in the army. This sentence really scared a lot of people stupidly, this is too brutal, right?

When Zhu Yijun saw the excerpt of the book to intercede, and euphemistically said that he should be based on "benevolence", Zhu Yijun sighed.

It seems that he is not good at being a benevolent gentleman, and he thinks that the punishment is light, and others think that it is heavy.

In fact, Daming has rarely killed officials like this in recent years, and the problem of corruption is basically just a raid on the family, and the family members are sent back to their hometown, and the fate of Zhang Juzheng in history is nothing more than that. Many ministers are used to it, they are caught for embezzlement, and they are demoted to their homes.

After going back, he was still a squire and a celebrity, just as merry and happy, this time Zhu Yijun's butcher knife was raised, which obviously scared many people.

Throwing aside the fold of pleading, Zhu Yijun was too lazy to take care of them, this is the benchmark for the future, don't think that corruption is fine, how can there be such a cheap thing in the world.
