Chapter Eighty-Five: Check

changed into a military uniform, with a ritual knife, it was the kind of straight knife that Zhu Yijun made at the beginning.

Civil officials have the habit of wearing swords, and the kind of knives that military generals are equipped with are looked down upon, and Zhu Yijun wants to change this impression, so he gives them ceremonial swords. It looks really good and spiritual.

The ceremony went very smoothly, and Zhu Yijun returned to the palace after watching the ceremony.

The rest of the things don't need him as the emperor, he is saying that he has been out for a day, and the emperor can't always be outside.

In the following days, Zhu Yijun was idle again, and after Zhang Juzheng came back, the operation of the imperial court was instantly smooth. When it comes to the cabinet, he can give appropriate advice, and Zhu Yijun also recognizes the gap between himself and Zhang Juzheng.

didn't let Zhu Yijun wait too long, after harvesting the autumn grain, before winter, Zhang Juzheng finally came up with his big move.

A fold titled "Please settle the accounts of the national land fold" was handed to Zhu Yijun.

In this recital, Zhang Juzheng elaborated on the importance of clearing the accounting fields, and the inventory of hidden land is also within this scope. For a while, the imperial court was shaken, and with the spread of the news, there was even a feeling of shaking the world.

Putting Zhang Juzheng's fold on the table, Zhu Yijun's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and the expression on his face was very indifferent.

"Handed over to the Cabinet Ministry!" Zhu Yijun handed the fold to Zhang Whale, and then spoke.

The court has been busy discussing this matter all winter, although the argument is very serious, but Zhang Juzheng has been preparing for several years, so naturally he will not be defeated, and this time he returned with a broken momentum.

It always snows during the Chinese New Year, and Zhu Yijun actually likes when it snows, but he doesn't like snow.

Watching the university fluttering, there is a feeling of freedom and ease.

Standing at the door of Kunning Palace, covered with a big coat, Zhu Yijun reached out to catch some falling snowflakes, although it was a little cold, the expression on Zhu Yijun's face was still very enjoyable. Glancing at Queen Wang beside him, Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Don't you like snow?" ”

"The concubine doesn't like it!" Sister Wang Xi nodded and said: "When it snows and the weather is cold, there will be many people who are not clothed and hungry, and those who are hungry will not survive." ”

Zhu Yijun smiled faintly, after so long, Queen Wang has been well protected by herself, and she still feels a little naΓ―ve. Replaced by a mature concubine, this would never be said in front of Zhu Yijun.

Chat about snow, talk about poetry, talk about wind and snow, how good is this, what do you say about the people!

However, Zhu Yijun also likes Queen Wang like this, after all, there are many flattering people, and the queen is not bad. Reaching out and pinching Queen Wang's nose, Zhu Yijun said with a smile: "There will be a day in this world where there will be no frozen bones." ”

"The concubine also believes that there will be a day, the emperor is here, there will definitely be a day."

Queen Wang smiled brightly, since entering the palace, she has gone from being nervous to now enjoying sweetly, all because of the man beside her. Gentle, elegant, vigorous and resolute, extraordinary bearing, all the words of praise put on his body, the queen felt that it was not too much.

After marrying into the palace, Sister Wang Xi is very satisfied to meet such an emperor.

"Let's go, the snow is light, I'll take you to build a snowman." Zhu Yijun took Queen Wang's hand and said with a smile.

Queen Wang was stunned for a moment, then followed Zhu Yijun with a smile.

Although it is said that the emperor and the empress built a snowman, in fact, they just decorated it, such as inserting a red nose, and Zhu Yijun also took off Zhang Whale's eunuch hat and put it on the snowman's head.

When he was tired of playing, he ate hot pot in Kunning Palace at night, which was Zhu Yijun's rare leisure time.

This year, Zhu Yijun has been very comfortable, and it is the most comfortable year he has lived since he crossed.

There was nothing messy in the palace, and the army had laid out according to its own ideas. The court no longer worries about the silver, and Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pressure on his body was relaxed.

After the New Year, the imperial court will begin to implement the matter of settling accounts and fields.

As soon as he came out of the first month, Zhu Yijun received countless twists and turns, without exception, all of them were impeached by the nobles and the clan, and there was only one crime: encroachment on the field!

This time, the ministers were clearly prepared, and all of them were justified.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Palace.

Zhu Yijun convened five cabinet ministers to discuss the meeting, the chamber was lit with sandalwood, Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chair, and the five cabinet ministers sat below, everyone knew what the emperor was doing when he summoned them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's talk about the matter of clearing the accounts and fields!" Zhu Yijun handed the fold in his hand to Zhang Whale and said: "These are all excerpts for impeaching the noble clan for encroaching on the land, and you Aiqing also share your views. ”

In fact, whether it was Zhu Yijun or several cabinet ministers, they all expected this situation.

Anything that everyone has done, but can only do it privately, and cannot do it openly, it is already common for civil officials to throw the blame. It must be the nobles and the clan who are pushed out, after all, these people have a close relationship with the emperor!

Even if a civil official is a lifelong official, it will be a lifetime of work, but the honorable and the clan are different, that is really the same as the country!

Now that this matter has been launched, several ministers also know that the person who wants to see it is not them, but Zhu Yijun.

"The minister thinks that it is imperative to settle the accounts and the land." Shen Shixing was the first to speak: "Hiding land and not paying taxes is absolutely intolerable. His Majesty should issue a decree to thoroughly investigate the land and property of the nobles and clans, and all those who have been encroached upon and concealed, those who have been usurped and concealed shall be returned to the people, and those who have been concealed shall be confiscated. ”

Ma Ziqiang said: "The fields of the Xungui clan are all in order, and the extra land must be encroached upon. The ministers also thought that they should be investigated, and all the fields and properties rewarded for official purposes should be confiscated. ”

After these two people finished speaking, the other three people did not speak, but turned their heads to look at Zhang Juzheng.

The two cabinet elders have expressed their position, and Zhang Juzheng has expressed his position, so this is basically the attitude of the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun also knew that this matter was pushed out by people who opposed the settlement of accounts, and if they wanted to investigate, they would start with the Xungui clan, they all knew that Xungui and the clan were the most difficult. Once it is found on their heads, it is not certain whether this settlement field can be carried out.

"What do you think, sir?" Zhu Yijun turned his head to look at Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile.

"Check!" Zhang Juzheng's answer was very simple, only one word.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng was also very dissatisfied with the embezzlement of land by the nobles and the clan, and these people wantonly embezzled the land, which was no worse than that of the gentry, which can be said to be a harm to the Ming Dynasty. Since it has been proposed, then simply check.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Then check it!" ”

"Set up a temporary yamen for the inventory of the fields of the noble clan to be responsible for this matter."
