"Your Majesty, General Geng and General Kuang are asking to see you outside the palace! This is General Kuang's recital! ”

"Oh?" Zhu Yunwen took the fold handed over by Liu Zhen, glanced at it slightly, was furious, and slapped it on the table with a "snap": "I want to die, I will fulfill you!" ”

Ping'an and Liu Zhen were frightened, and hurriedly knelt on the ground: "The emperor is angry!" ”

Zhu Yunwen was silent for a while, looked at the roof, and suddenly said, "Yiguo Gong." ”

"The last general!"

"There is an urgent military situation from the special operations battalion, you and Changxing Hou discuss a countermeasure, I want the result in half an hour, I want to be foolproof, once and for all, do you understand?"

"The last general understands!"

"Okay, you go get busy." Zhu Yunwen waved his hand.

Ping An let out a sigh of relief, stood up, bowed deeply, and turned to leave. When he withdrew from the hall, the cold wind blew, and he couldn't help but shiver, and his whole body was cold, only to find that he was in a cold sweat. In his impression, the emperor was generous and pure, never spoke ill of him, and was also very measured in his actions, even if he dealt with King Yan's rebellion, he was very restrained; But today he said such murderous words, which means that he is angry, but what is the matter? Ping An didn't dare to think about it, hurriedly turned to the side hall, and soon saw Geng Xuan, Kuang Yi, Tan Yuan, Shao Yun and others who were already waiting......

In the side hall on the other side, Liu Jing, Xie Jin, Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi and others were in full swing, and they had to filter the pieces from all over the place first, classify them according to their importance and urgency, and also note their handling opinions. According to Zhu Yunwen's request, if there are differences of opinion that need to be resolved through discussion, and if the discussion cannot be resolved, then their respective opinions must be indicated, and Zhu Yunwen will make the final ruling.

During the Northern Tour, in order to facilitate the handling of the chapters in various places, Zhu Yunwen asked the Military Aircraft Department and Wenyuan Pavilion to work together, and on this basis, he formed his own secretary team, in which Wang Du played the role of secretary general, Liu Jing, Xie Jin, Yang Shiqi and others played the role of secretary. For this, Yang Rong and Yang Shiqi don't care, but Xie Jin has some complaints, so he often disagrees with Liu Jing on some things.

"Lord Liu, this matter seems to be a little inappropriate, right?"

"What's wrong? The gentry? Liu Jing put down the brush in his hand and looked at the young student in front of him with a smile.

"You see, the emperor has already given instructions for the King of Xiang to forge the bank bills of the Bank of Communications, why does the Jingzhou prefect still have to report it, and your opinion is to strictly investigate, which seems to be a little unpleasant?"

"Hehe, gentry, King Xiang forged tens of thousands of taels of silver tickets, what do you think should be done?"

"This, the lower officials think that they should also send someone to reprimand and confiscate their income according to the last disposal, there is no need to make a big fanfare, for the sake of more than 100,000 silver tickets, make the clan uneasy!"

"The clan is uneasy?" Liu Jing was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Great gentleman, can it be said that the clan has violated the law of the country, so it can not be dealt with?" The emperor has already issued a strict order to forge silver tickets, which is to raze the three clans, and the nine clans will be assigned to fill the army, and they will never be allowed to return to their hometowns; Comparatively speaking, the disposition of the clan is much lighter. ”

"......" Xie Jin was speechless, and said after a while: "The lower officials insist on their own opinions, the emperor is merciful and will not treat the clan harshly." ”

"Well, okay, let's wait for the emperor's ruling!"

While the two were talking, Yang Rong walked up, handed Liu Jing a notebook, and said in a low voice: "Lord Liu, the lower officials feel that this matter should be reported to the emperor immediately." ”

"Really?" Liu Jing took the fold, opened it and looked at it, his expression immediately changed greatly, and he got up and said, "Everyone, pick out the important folds and go to see the emperor immediately with the official." ”

"Yes, sir!"

Zhu Yunwen unfolded the fold, read it, frowned, and then closed the fold and said, "Zhong Jing, do you think Wang Du's disposal is appropriate?" ”

"I think it's more appropriate."

"What do you think?"

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Okay, big gentleman, you come to draw up a will, and the deputy director of the investigation department, Qiao Hong, and his family will be put in prison for disposal when I return to Beijing; Director Feng Xingjian was heavily responsible for 30 military sticks, transferred from the Investigation Department, subordinated to the Intelligence Department, reduced to 100 households, went to North Korea on business, and immediately set off, and violators were immediately beheaded; Order Jin Wuwei to command Wan Zicheng to serve as the director of the Investigation Department, and take office immediately, there must be no mistake! ”

"Yes!"

Xie Jin quickly prepared his will, and after Zhu Yunwen glanced at it slightly, he nodded and issued it.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that you need to adjudicate, you see!" Liu Jing handed the impeachment of King Xiang to Zhu Yunwen with both hands.

Zhu Yunwen took a general look, then looked at Liu Jing and Xie Jin's comments, and suddenly smiled, and said: "Zhong Jing, Da Shen, your opinions are to the left, by the way, Mian Ren, what about you?" ”

Yang Rong peeked at Liu Jing, swept Xie Jin's expression again, and finally gritted his teeth and arched his hand: "Back to the emperor, Weichen has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”

"Say it!"

"Weichen does not agree with the opinions of Lord Liu and Lord Xie, the last time King Xiang forged a silver ticket, and the court did not punish him. This time we must not only strictly investigate, but also severely punish to set an example, otherwise as soon as this case is opened, the bank of Communications will be the next treasure banknote, and the consequences will be unimaginable! ”

"Weichen disagreed," Xie Jin was anxious all of a sudden, and bowed his hand and said: "Your Majesty, Lord Yang's proposal is inappropriate, now that the court is discussing it, the vassal king is ready to move, you can't add fuel to the fire, once it changes, the consequences are unimaginable." ”

"It is because the vassal king is ready to move, the court should not retreat, it should deal with the vassal king decisively, if you tolerate the traitor, I am afraid that there will be a second Yanshu person, or even more." Yang Rong said without flinching.

"Where's Zhong Jing? What do you think? Zhu Yunwen turned his head to look at Liu Jing and said.

"Back to the emperor, Weichen thought that the king of Hunan should not rise in violation of the law and needed to be dealt with strictly, but the minister thought that it was not good to be too strict, otherwise people in the world would think that the emperor treated the clan harshly and hurt the emperor's benevolence. The minister thought that as long as the clan did not oppose it, it should still focus on appeasement. ”

"So, what do you think?"

Yang Shiqi is a strange person, he lost his father at the age of one, and his mother remarried at the age of four. But the good times didn't last long, when Yang Shiqi was nine years old, his stepfather was dismissed and exiled, he had to return to his hometown with his mother, and restored the surname Yang. According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, this guy should have committed a crime and fled, because he had no fame and was not qualified to travel.

It wasn't until the time of the Jianwen Dynasty that he finally came out, because of the revision of the "Taizu Record", after the recommendation of Wang Shuying and Zhang Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he entered Zhu Yunwen's eyes and was transferred to Wenyuan Pavilion on duty.

Yang Shiqi is eight years Chinese New Year's Eve old today, four or five years older than Yang Rong and Xie Jin, and his early years were rough and rough, and he has been very cautious in his words and deeds, and rarely expresses his opinions when encountering things, and is known for his diligence.

However, for this inquiry, Yang Shiqi did not flinch, but took out a piece of music from his sleeve, presented it with both hands, and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has this music!" ”

"Okay, bring it on!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Yunwen took the fold and found that the fold was very long, there were as many as twelve pages, obviously he had prepared for a long time, seeing this, Zhu Yunwen couldn't help but smile and unfolded the fold and read it. Although the twist and turn is very long, Zhu Yunwen watched it quickly, and sometimes tapped the table, a little excited.

After feeling Zhu Yunwen's attitude, Liu Jing, Xie Jin, and Yang Rong subconsciously looked back at Yang Shiqi who was standing with his head down, this guy should not be underestimated, he should have been prepared for a long time!

Zhu Yunwen read it twice before putting down the fold and said with a smile: "Shiqi, the fold is very well written, you can read it to everyone." ”

"Obey, Your Majesty!"

Yang Shiqi took the fold, cleared his throat, slowly unfolded it, and began to read.

"From the first year of Jianwen to the sixth year of Jianwen, the imperial court successively set up tun angels in various places to manage the military tun, and the grain output of the military tun has increased; Up to now, there have been more than 40 riots and rebellions of more than 500 people, and there have been as many as eight riots of more than 5,000 people at the level of the guard, that is, riots of more than 5,000 people, especially in the four years since Jianwen's establishment, a total of six have occurred. ”

The reason for this is that Weichen thinks that the officers and soldiers of the guard are like the Tusi, all of them are hereditary, and the Tun Angel is equivalent to the Liuguan, and the soldiers are sandwiched between the Liuguan and the Tuguan, and will subconsciously obey the Tuguan, that is, the hereditary Qianhu and the commander. However, according to the regulations of the imperial court, the power of the Tun Angels increased day by day, which caused dissatisfaction among the officials of the guard, which in turn caused riots and riots. ”

"Since the imperial court imposed commercial taxes, the imperial court's revenue has increased greatly, but it has cut off the channels for the local government and the vassal kings to collect money. Needless to say, the vassal kings set up blocks, bridges, boats, etc., were their sources of income, but these fees had been abolished after the collection of commercial taxes; In addition, for local officials, the merchant's money can be taken at any time, but now the advent of the commercial tax actually forms a protection for the merchant. Because if the collection of commercial tax drops significantly, if the household department wants to send someone to inquire, it is likely to affect its promotion. ”

All this annoyed the feudal lord and the local officials. For the matter of Luka, except for the king of Shu and the king of Taiwan, almost all of them were reprimanded by the emperor and confiscated their income; Officials, on the other hand, found that they had to rely on the Chamber of Commerce, otherwise it would be difficult to collect taxes, which made the self-proclaimed 'head of the four people' indignant and repeatedly suppressed merchants, but they were often reprimanded by the imperial court. In addition, cases of official embezzlement occur frequently, and the amount is getting bigger and bigger, and the Yangzhou prefect is said to have embezzled more than 3 million taels. Since the first year of Jianwen, more than 400 county officials have been dismissed from their posts and investigated, and there are sixty or seventy every year. And at the prefect level, it is roughly the same. ”

In addition, the imperial court has raised troops year after year, and now the troops stationed in Lelang and North Korea have exceeded 150,000, and the northeast garrison is also close to 100,000, which costs countless money and food. Tobe Shangshu Yuxin repeatedly wrote to demand an early end to the war, because now the treasury is a little unsustainable. ”

"The more terrible consequence than this is that now the northern border has formed a situation of heavy outside and light inside, the army is gathered in Kaiping, Daning, Shenyang, Pyongyang, Seoul and other places, Hebei, Shandong, Henan These places are very empty, and these places are the starting places of the Red Turban Army in the past, the White Lotus Sect is very popular in the local area, once there is a change, the consequences are unimaginable!"

"Since the Battle of Jeju Island, the Japanese have repeatedly asked for orders and are willing to compensate for the damages, but no agreement has been reached. Therefore, the minister is worried that the Japanese are also likely to take risks! ”

“……”

Therefore, the minister thinks that the current situation in the Ming Dynasty is as dangerous as an egg, and it is necessary to use thunderbolts to deter the traitors, which is the way to long-term peace and stability; And Huairou will only die more people, making Daming even more turbulent! ”
