Chapter VII Salt Administration (1,600 plus 1,000 per month)

The yamen of the General Political Envoy Department sounds very powerful, and it was indeed very powerful originally, and the General Political Envoy is also one of the Nine Secretaries, but that was before, not now.

In the Ming Dynasty, who doesn't know that the General Political Envoy is a nominal yamen.

In addition to passing on the twists and turns all day long, all other powers were almost usurped by the celebrant and the cabinet. The political envoy is also a nameless Jiuqing. It was not the general political envoy who gave Hai Rui, but the deputy of the general political envoy, Zuo Tongzheng.

It sounds good, but Hai Rui is really idle when he enters, and he is definitely used as a tablet.

After listening to Zhang Siwei's words, Zhu Yijun nodded and said: "The General Political Envoy is indeed a good yamen, and Zuo Tongzheng is also a suitable official position, so let's let Hai Rui enter Beijing with Zuo Tongzheng!" ”

Zhu Yijun didn't care what Hai Rui's official position was, he just wanted to get Hai Rui to the capital.

In fact, Hai Rui is not small now, and it is estimated that he will not have a few days to live. I have to look at his physical condition first, and then decide whether to arrange things for him. Besides, I just borrowed his name, and I didn't really want him to do anything.

Hai Rui!

"The new cabinet ministers, the cabinet will recommend it!" Zhu Yijun thought about it and said.

"Yes, I obey!" Zhang Siwei hurriedly spoke.

Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing returned to the cabinet, and the news spread quickly, and everyone knew that the two cabinet elders prevented Hai Rui from entering the cabinet. As for Hai Rui's entry into Beijing to be a left-hand politician, no one cares, and the left-handed politician is not an important official position anyway.

This matter also has an additional effect, that is, it has increased the prestige of Zhang Siwei and Shen Shixing a lot.

Although Hai Jui's matter has passed, everyone's attention has shifted to another matter, that is, the selection of the fifth cabinet scholar. There are a lot of people who are interested in this matter, and they are in the cabinet! A lifelong dream.

In the midst of discussions, the first court meeting after Zhang Juzheng's death finally came.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, Zhu Yijun ordered to stop the court for half a month, and now that the day is coming, Zhu Yijun naturally wants to go to the court. The new secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Pan Sheng, also arrived, and this time the court meeting naturally became the focus.

Early in the morning, Zhu Yijun got up with Hache and got dressed under Liu Se's service.

The day before yesterday, Zhu Yijun asked Liu Se to come back, saying that he had no one to serve, but it turned out to be a bad mess for the queen and queen, and Zhu Yijun was also a little embarrassed, this reason was found to be bad enough, but Zhu Yijun didn't think of any good reasons.

Queen Wang also knows about Liu Se, Liu has been following her for the past few years, and now the emperor wants to give Liu Se a name, and she can't stop it.

On the night of his return, Zhu Yijun naturally became the groom.

Zhu Yijun smiled and pecked at Liu Se's face and said, "I have already asked Zhang Whale to tell the Queen Mother, and your name will be decided soon." Saying that, Zhu Yijun walked outside.

In Zhu Yijun's hand, he held a copy of the recital, which was Cao Yikui's share.

While beating the fold, Zhu Yijun walked into the main hall with a step, and only after the minister bowed three times and knocked nine times did Zhu Yijun speak: "No courtesy!" ”

"If you have something to do, you can play early, and you have nothing to retreat!" Zhang Whale hugged the dust on the side and shouted loudly.

"The minister has his own music!" The imperial envoy Lei Shijiao stood up for the first time: "The minister impeached the cabinet university scholar Pan Sheng!" ”

Zhu Yijun glanced at NVC, nodded slightly, and said, "Let's talk about it!" ”

On the first day of the last dynasty, someone impeached the newly arrived cabinet ministers, which is a bit interesting. The ministers had different faces, and they didn't speak, quietly waiting for NVC to start talking, wanting to hear how he impeached Pan Sheng.

Next, NVC explained in detail his reasons for impeaching Pan Sheng, from asking for bribes to buying and selling officials.

From blackmailing the township to the troubled place, he said a lot, and he looked like he was conclusive.

Zhu Yijun looked at NVC frame, although his face was expressionless, but he was extremely angry in his heart, not that he was angry with this NVC frame, but that he was angry with the nonsense of these envoys. No matter what you can say, you don't have to be responsible when you say it.

After NVC, four or five more envoys came forward, all of whom impeached Pan Sheng.

Zhu Yijun became more and more dissatisfied in his heart, which was clearly aimed at Pan Sheng. It was Pan Sheng's performance that surprised Zhu Yijun, this old gentleman and old god were standing there, looking like they had nothing to do with themselves, as if it was not themselves who were impeached.

When the envoy finished speaking, Zhu Yijun said lightly: "It will be verified by the Ministry of Officials and the Criminal Department, if there is really something wrong, I should be severely punished." Pan Aiqing can also defend herself in a book, and wait to find out if there is anything wrong! ”

After Zhu Yijun finished saying this, he picked up a copy of the recital from the dragon book case and said: "Speaking of impeachment, I have a recital here, let's discuss it!" After saying this, Zhu Yijun handed the fold to Zhang Whale: "Read it to them." ”

Zhang Whale folded the piece with both hands, and read it out loud after unfolding it.

Zhang Whale Nian's twist and turn is naturally Cao Yikui's twist, which is Yanzheng. Compared with what NVC said, Cao Yikui's performance is very expected, and many officials have been impeached by name.

The officials who supervised the salt administration at the local level were impeached all the way to the household department, and even the household department was involved in the book, and they were charged with poor supervision.

After this recital, there was silence in the hall for a while, and everyone was confused by this recital. In fact, they don't know about the problem of salt, it's just that no one wants to open the lid, because once the lid is lifted, it can no longer be closed.

"What do you think Aiqing should do?" Zhu Yijun's gaze swept over the minister's body and asked.

"The minister thinks that if there is indeed something, he should be severely punished!" Zhang Xueyan, the head of the household, stood up first and spoke.

Zhang Xueyan is the head of the household, and Cao Yikui's performance did not even let him go, at this time he naturally wanted to stand up, which was the proper meaning. His statement was also expected by everyone, but no one said anything.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks he should be cautious at this time!" Zhao Shou, the left of the Imperial Procuratorate, stood up at this time.

"Salt is a major matter of the imperial court, related to the people of the world, once there is a crisis of salt cut because of the salt policy, isn't it because of a small loss? Once the people have no salt to eat, it will be a mess, and the minister thinks that he should think about it in the long run. ”

Zhu Yijun looked at Zhao Shou and said with some amusement: "Then what does Zhao Aiqing think?" ”

"There is no good way for the minister, but there is a Ming Monarch and Holy Lord, and there are all the virtuous colleagues below, I believe that I will be able to come up with a good way!" Zhao Shou said unhurriedly, looking very confident.

Zhu Yijun nodded, what he said was good, but it was useless at all.
