At this time, Zheng Wen said again: "I thought about it for a while, the matter of forming a field army of 1.2 million is still too big, and I can't say it clearly for a while, after you go back, think about it carefully, write all these things into a chapter, and give it to me, I also have to take a good look at it, after all, I am only for laymen!" ”

"Whoa!" "No!" "Whoa!" ……

A sound of "whoosh".

……

At this time, Zheng Wen was in the imperial study, sitting quietly alone, he was thinking about what to do in this imperial tomb case?

I wanted to drag it out to share the pressure for the three law divisions, but the idea couldn't catch up with the change, yesterday Tang King Zheng Jiao and Zhou King Zheng Tong made the matter of the Crying Temple again, Zheng Wen realized that this matter must be solved, otherwise I don't know what moths will come out of?

But how to solve it?

Zheng Wen's head hurt when he thought about it, but he still couldn't think of a way to benefit himself and end this matter decimorely. But he can't consult with others, and even if they do, most of them don't dare to give specific advice.

Therefore, this matter can only be decided by Zheng Wen himself.

Zheng Wen thought about it again and again, Zheng Wen can only be with the mud in this matter, but he must also weaken the influence of the three princes in the court, even if it is only a little bit.

So Zheng Wen gave a holy decree to the three princes, a somewhat absurd holy decree.

The content of the decree is as follows: I ascended the throne as the emperor as the ninth son, but I was young and lonely, and the matter of the emperor's tomb was all wrong with me. However, the king of Yan, the king of Zhou, and the king of Tang were in the filial piety period of the first emperor, and they did not think about keeping filial piety, and entered and exited the palace at will, because they were not filial, and they were each fined for five years, and they were not allowed to go out. However, the three of them attacked each other in the lobby of the Ministry of Rites, ignoring the brotherly feelings, and when I heard it, I was very disappointed, and each of them was fined for another five years, and closed the house to think about it. Chin this!

The meaning of this holy decree is that I have carried the case of the Emperor's Tomb, and it is not the business of the three of you, but in this matter, I just see that you are unhappy, so I will punish you for ten years.

Zheng Wen calculated, in this way, Zheng Wen can save millions of taels of silver for the court, which is not a small amount, and it can allow Zheng Wen to raise an army of 50,000 people and save a lot of money a year.

But this holy decree is indeed a bit absurd, and the punishment has reached a new height, so that the Yan Wangfu will not be able to receive a penny from the court within ten years, and the Zhou Wangfu and the Tang Wangfu will not be able to receive a penny from the court within fifteen years.

Although these three princes don't rely on Yulu to eat, if you think about it, you know that someone is receiving your salary and is constantly making trouble for you, you just can't do anything with him, and the sourness in your heart can be imagined. In this way, Zheng Wen had a bad breath in his heart, although I can't do anything to you, I just won't pay you a salary.

Do you think that's all there is to it?

Of course not, in the holy decree, Zheng Wen indirectly put the three of them under house arrest for three years, and issued an order that no courtiers were allowed to visit the house, which indirectly isolated them from contact with the government.

Think about it, you as a leader, you give orders directly to your subordinates and you issue orders to your subordinates through your secretary, and the effect is different. The latter, once or twice, people can still accept it calmly, and every time it is like this, even if you have any unspeakable hardships, people will have the idea that you look down on him in their hearts.

Of course, these three people are all rich and handsome, and they grew up with golden keys, and most of them will not notice these for a while. Even if you notice it, there will be no good way to do more, because this is a yang scheme, and you can envelop others, but if you don't meet with others, people will also have bad thoughts, because people's hearts are changeable.

When this decree was sent to the palace of the Three Kings.

Yan Wang Zheng Zhuang saw it, and his face was a little sad.

Zhou Wang Zhengtong looked at it with a smile on his face.

Tang Wang Zheng Jiao saw it, his face was expressionless, but there was a hint of joy in his eyes.

……

Yanwang Mansion.

Zheng Zhuang and Sun Hua sat opposite each other.

Zheng Zhuang's face was a little worried, so he asked, "Sir, what do you mean by Your Majesty?" He confessed in the decree that it was his fault, and was he not afraid that the courtiers would accuse him? ”

Sun Hua listened, smiled before speaking, "What is Your Majesty afraid of?" The courtiers all knew that this matter was not done by His Majesty, and His Majesty said in the holy decree that he was wrong, but he was just telling the courtiers that this matter was over, and His Majesty was not ready to pursue it anymore, and the courtiers also hoped that the court situation would be stable, and it was too late for them to be happy, so how could they accuse His Majesty? ”

When Zheng Zhuang heard this, he understood, and then asked again: "Then what does Your Majesty mean by punishing orphans for ten years?" It can't be what the Divine Decree says. ”

Sun Hua listened, nodded, and said with some embarrassment: "What the prince said is good. His Majesty's mind is weird, and it is not something that Xiaomin can guess. ”

In fact, Sun Hua didn't dare to say it, because Zheng Wen's mind was already very clear, what Zheng Wen meant was that Zheng Wen thought that Zheng Zhuang did the imperial tomb case, but there was no evidence that was too good to punish Zheng Zhuang, so he had to use these reasons to punish Zheng Zhuang, otherwise how could he punish Zheng Zhuang for ten years at once.

When Zheng Zhuang saw Sun Hua like this, he suddenly realized that he would no longer mention this stubble.

Zheng Zhuang was silent for a moment before he said again: "Sir, what do you say Lonely should do?" ”

Sun Hua was silent for a moment before he spoke again: "Lord Wang, I think you should be silent and keep your filial piety!" ”

Zheng Zhuang listened, was silent for a while, nodded, and stopped talking.

And in the palace of King Zhou, Tao Hua also said this to Zheng Tong.

The same is true of the Tang Palace.

For a while, the three princes of Daqian decided to fall silent, but can this really be the case?

……

And the Ministry of Rites, Xie Xiong, the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites, also received the edict of dismissal, Xie Xiong happily accepted the edict, and his heart was inexplicably relieved.

……

At this time, Zheng Wen arrived at the household department.

In the Ma Yuan case, the household department was the department that suffered the most, so Zheng Wen decided to come to inspect it to see the specific situation and encourage the household department.

There is one Shangshu and two squires in the Great Cadre Household Department, who are in charge of the land, the people, the government of the money valley, and the difference between tribute. There are four subordinate institutions: one is the household department, the second is the degree department, the third is the gold department, and the fourth is the warehouse department. The main functions of the household department are: first, to handle the daily affairs of the household department, and second, to take charge of the household registration of the whole country; The main functions of the Ministry are: first, to be in charge of the land information of the whole country, second, to collect taxes from these acres of land, and third, to be responsible for tuntian; The main functions of the Ministry of Finance are: first, to collect taxes such as commercial tax, and second, to be responsible for the custody of money; The main functions of the warehouse department are: first, it is responsible for managing the granaries in various places, and second, it is responsible for stabilizing grain prices.

When Zheng Wen was surrounded by people and walked into the household department, he saw some of the officials headed by Yang Bo, the left capital of the Imperial Palace, and the left servant of the household department.

Seeing Zheng Wen, they saluted Zheng Wen in unison, and said in unison: "Ministers participate in Your Majesty!" ”

When Zheng Wen saw this, he smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, I just take a look, get up!" ”

Zheng Wen looked at Wang Cheng, the current nominal official of the household department, who was about forty-five or sixteen years old, with a medium build, a handsome face, and a sense of grace, which made people feel good at first sight.

But Zheng Wen's impression of him in his heart is not very good, and even a little disliked, he is the brother of the Queen Mother's Wang clan, in Zheng Wen's heart, this person is good at protecting himself, and he can use talents but cannot be reused.

Think about the case of Di Ping in the household department, involving one-fifth of the officials in the household department, although Wang Cheng is fine, it is impossible for him not to know, but he has never even been on a book, Zheng Wen can like it in his heart.

But Zheng Wen didn't show it on his face, he still smiled, and specially ordered Yang Bo and Wang Cheng to accompany him to inspect the household.

During the visit.

Zheng Wen also asked Yang Bo: "Yang Qing, how is the case of Di Ping in this household department, you tell me." ”

Isn't this Di Ping case clear to Zheng Wen? Zheng Wen was clear in his heart, but in order to let Yang Bo feel Zheng Wen's care, Zheng Wen still had to ask, just to let Yang Bo understand, you can rest assured that you are working in the household department, I support you, pay attention to you in the back, and cheer him on.

Doesn't Yang Bo know that Zheng Wen knows this, how could he not know the old fox who has been an official for decades, but this is the art of officialdom.

So, Yang Bo said with some excitement in his voice: "Your Majesty, in this case of Your Majesty, the number of officials implicated has reached 223 people, and the silver recovered by the household officials has reached 8 million taels, and many household officials have vacancies. After speaking, he knelt down to Zheng Wen.

Zheng Wen supported him with both hands, preventing him from kneeling, and said with a smile: "Qing did a good job, I am very satisfied, what is the crime?" ”

After a pause, he said to Yang Bo: "Yang Qing has done a good job these days, you can act as the household department first, as for you to allocate those officials, write them into a chapter for me, and I will transfer it to the ministry for handling after I approve it, so you can rest assured." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust!" Yang Bo was really excited this time, and his face was flushed.

He understands the meaning of Zheng Wen's words, what is the agent of the household department, that is, a transition, it is not surprising that he will immediately become the head of the household department, and suddenly become an important minister of the Daqian court!

Why is he not excited, he used to be the boss of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, although he can be regarded as a high authority, and his grade is half a level lower than that of the Household Minister, but once he becomes the Household Minister, not only does the grade rise by half a level, but also becomes a number of important ministers in the Great Qian Dynasty, and the status is relatively high, because the Household Department is second only to the Ministry of Officials among the six departments.

And Wang Cheng on the side, the face on his face remained unchanged, but there was a trace of haze in his eyes, although after the accident of Guo Cheng, the former head of the household department, he was not very sure that he could become the head of the household department, but after all, there was a trace of extravagance, but Zheng Wen's words obviously broke his extravagant hope, and his heart was still very uncomfortable after all.

Zheng Wen only glanced at him and stopped caring about him.

Next, Zheng Wen visited the household department accompanied by the two, and constantly encouraged the officials at all levels of the household department, which made these people excited for a while!

In fact, the current household department is not good-looking, after all, the household department has just happened in the big case, the household department is a heavy number of casualties, Zheng Wen came to see, he wanted to see with his own eyes whether the household can operate normally, he was generally very satisfied.

The main thing is to send some encouragement to Yang Bo, and since the goal has been achieved, Zheng Wen is ready to leave.

When leaving, Zheng Wen also said to Yang Bo in front of the officials who saw him off from the household department: "Yang Qing, I have also seen it from the household department, I am very satisfied, you are a capable minister and a loyal minister, the household department will hand it over to you, I can rest assured!" ”

After saying that, he went out of the household.

"Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

Yang Bo looked at Zheng Wen's disappearing back with a flushed face, and the household department ushered in the Yang Bo era!
