Chapter 846 The lid is lifted
Ma Mingyuan heard that so many people stood up to impeach him, but he didn't panic. If Fang Fengnian stood up and said it himself, Ma Mingyuan would still be a little scared, because Ma Mingyuan didn't know whether he had invaded the imperial tomb. But now it's different, so many people have come forward to impeach themselves, this is no longer a matter of breaking the law, this is already a party dispute.
Ma Mingyuan followed Zhu Hongsan the earliest and knew the emperor best. Zhu Hongsan's biggest fear is that the minister is engaged in party affiliation, the reason is very simple, you all gang up, naturally you want to oppose my emperor, so Zhu Hongsan is not soft on party fighting.
Thinking of this, Ma Mingyuan bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent, Your Majesty handed over the government to the old minister, but the old minister allowed the courtiers to form a party, please punish the old minister!" ”
Ma Mingyuan is definitely an expert who turns things upside down and refers to the deer as a horse, originally Fang Fengnian took the lead, but now there is nothing overturned by Ma Mingyuan's light words. The emperor hated the ministers the most for forming a party, and now as soon as Ma Mingyuan said this, he immediately shifted the emperor's attention from his own encroachment on the imperial tomb to the formation of a party.
This kind of thing will happen in the Great Dynasty, which was supposed to end soon, although many officials know that the party struggle in the imperial court is fierce, but it is the first time that they have seen those court bigwigs really do it, so many officials in the back of the line stood up straight and looked ahead, wanting to see what was going on.
Tong Yangjia, the second assistant standing behind Ma Mingyuan, originally heard that Fang Fengnian stood up to impeach Ma Mingyuan, and his heart was really happy. Ma Mingyuan's influence in the DPRK and China has developed a lot in recent years because of the New Deal, and Tong Yangjia, who originally didn't have many people, has become even more cautious, for fear that Ma Mingyuan will catch something, so Tong Yangjia has been very angry in the past few years.
Now seeing that there is a traitor within Ma Mingyuan himself, Shangshu of the Ministry of Taxation personally stood up against Ma Mingyuan, and Tong Yangjia was also ready to beat the side drum, it would be best to think of what crime could kill Ma Mingyuan.
But things developed too fast, and before Tong Yangjia could make a move, Ma Mingyuan had already beaten him up, saying that Fang Fengnian was engaged in party fighting, and this crime was too big. Tong Yangjia saw that Ma Mingyuan was about to escape, and he sighed in his heart and was not ready to come out.
Emperor Zhu Hongsan was also very depressed, today he insisted on going to the court with illness, and he would have been able to finish his work soon, so he could go back to the harem to recuperate. But knowing that Fang Fengnian made such a scene, how good is this?
As for what Fang Fengnian said, Zhu Hongsan listened to it in detail, most of them were chasing after the wind and shadows, except for the eighth article of the invasion of the imperial tomb, there were some other things. In addition, now that the Jiangnan New Deal is being implemented, Zhu Hongsan really doesn't want to depose Ma Mingyuan for such a trivial matter, which will delay his big event.
Zhu Hongsan thought about it for a while, and now the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty already knew that they had to show their attitude no matter what they said. Zhu Hongsan thought in his heart that it would be better to give Ma Mingyuan a little hardship and let him be stable.
Just when Zhu Hongsan made up his mind to make peace with the mud, at the back of the line of civil officials in the square, a seven-rank petty official, in his thirties, stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister has a book!" ”
The level of the seventh-grade petty official was too low, more than a hundred meters away from Zhu Hongsan, and there was a little yellow goalkeeper on the side, so Zhu Hongsan knew what the junior official was talking about.
The petty official bowed down and walked to Zhu Hongsanjintai, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Li Wenxi, the Henan Inspector of the Imperial Court, has a foundation!" ”
It turned out to be the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, Zhu Hongsan thought that this guy was also here to impeach Ma Mingyuan, and couldn't help frowning: "Li Wenxi, today is a big court meeting, and it is an occasion to discuss major national policies. ”
Zhu Hongsan didn't want to make a big deal out of it, so as soon as he opened his mouth, he blocked Li Wenxi's way to impeach Ma Mingyuan. Ma Mingyuan was overjoyed when he heard the emperor defend him, and it seemed that he should not have anything big to do today.
Li Wenxi got up after saluting and said: "Your Majesty, the minister is not impeaching Lord Shoufu, the minister is the Henan Inspector, and the minister has found that there is something wrong with the disaster relief funds in Henan!" ”
Zhu Hongsan frowned when he heard this, and the disaster relief funds were allocated by the central government to various localities to restore people's livelihood and develop production. In particular, Henan, as the land of Zhongzhou, suffered the greatest losses in the war at the end of the Ming Dynasty, and the central government had to allocate millions of silver dollars to Henan Province every year for disaster relief. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan knew what virtues his subordinates had, so he issued orders and told officials in Henan that these money were life-saving money for the common people and were absolutely not allowed to be misappropriated.
When Zhu Hongsan heard that the Henan officials dared to carry the disaster relief funds behind his back, he was furious in his heart and asked: "Li Wenxi, tell me in detail about the cause and effect of the incident!" ”
Li Wenxi bowed down to receive the order, and then said: "Your Majesty, the minister has the grace of Your Majesty, and the official from Kunming Mansion has been promoted to the imperial history of the Imperial Procuratorate, and the minister is afraid all day long. ”
Li Wenxi originally wanted to say two good words and pat the emperor's ass first, but Zhu Hongsan was so anxious now, how could he be in the mood to listen to Li Wenxi's boasting, frowned and said, "Tell the point!" ”
Li Wenxi saw that the emperor's tone was not good, so he hurriedly said the key point. After the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that a province should be used as a group to send inspectors to inspect the imperial history of various provinces and inspect the administration of officials. Although the grade of the patrol according to the imperial history is low (the supervision of the imperial history is the seventh grade official), it is known as the patrol of the Son of Heaven, and the governors of the provinces and prefectures, prefectures and counties are the objects of their investigation.
Li Wenxi took office in December last year, and when he began to sort out the files left by his predecessor, he found that there were many discrepancies in the grain payments of Henan Province in recent years. After Zhu Hongsan occupied Henan in the sixth year of Shenwu, he began to allocate annual funds to restore Henan's production and social order. The money was divided into three major items, the largest of which was the repair of the Yellow River.
Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng for the third time in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and Li Zicheng, who had not been able to attack for a long time, decided to dig the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng. Since Li Zicheng dug up the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng City, Kaifeng City was completely deserted. More than half of the houses in the city were destroyed, and the tiled houses in the countryside were even more badly damaged, with only one-tenth remaining.
Later, when Kaifeng City was captured, there were almost no living people inside. It is said that later, a group of people passed through Gushi County, Runing Prefecture, and walked for six days, but they did not see a single person. As I walked, the weeds on the road grew wildly, six feet long. Pedestrians must each carry a willow stick, not to guard against thieves, but to prevent encounters with wild wolves, so that they can defend themselves with the stick.
The flooding of the Yellow River and the military disaster caused the entire Henan to have a registered population of more than 400,000 in the sixth year of Shenwu, and even less than one million displaced people. The original large province of the Central Plains, with a population of more than 20 million, became like this, so the first thing Zhu Hongsan did when he occupied Henan was to clean up the Yellow River. In order to renovate the river, the central Ministry of Finance in the seventh year of Shenwu, the beginning of the seventh year of Shenwu, will allocate 1 million silver dollars to Henan Province every year to repair the river and control the Yellow Flood area, this year is the 11th year of Shenwu, that is, a total of 5 million silver dollars have been allocated for five years so far.
Wu Peichang, the governor of Henan, wrote to the emperor that the Yellow River's course in Henan Province had basically been brought under control, that the stagnant water in the Yellow Flood had been drained away, and that local farmers had begun to resume production. Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see this effect, and he also issued a decree to praise Wu Peichang at that time.
In addition to renovating the river, there were also two major projects of resettlement of migrants and rebuilding a new city, and the population of Henan suffered heavy losses in the war, so Zhu Hongsan ordered immigrants from Jiangxi, Shandong, Beizhili and other provinces with relatively large populations. Hundreds of thousands of silver dollars are also spent each year to settle these immigrants. There are also city buildings, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Nanyang in Henan, and Xinyang, which was slaughtered by Zhu Hongsan, the city walls of these cities must be repaired, and the repair of the city walls can also create jobs for those immigrants.
These three major projects have swallowed tens of millions of silver dollars in the past five years, and Zhu Hongsan originally thought that Henan people should at least live and work in peace and contentment, and they can eat a full meal! But now that I heard Li Wenxi say that there was a problem with the tens of millions of silver dollars he had invested, how could this make Zhu Hongsan, who claimed to be the first emperor of the ages, swallow this breath?
Henan has been receiving appropriations from the imperial court since the seventh year of Shenwu, and the seventh year of Shenwu is 1.48 million silver dollars, the eighth year of Shenwu is 1.6 million silver dollars, the ninth year of Shenwu is 2.4 million silver dollars, and the 10th year of Shenwu has reached 3 million silver dollars. There is a shortage of 3,766,872 silver dollars to match the account, and at the same time, the minister saw in the accounts that more than 2.5 million silver dollars were used for the Kaifeng section of the Yellow River alone, which is really too much. As the imperial history of His Majesty, the minister will share his worries for His Majesty, so I will play these things to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision! ”
After Li Wenxi finished speaking, he retired to his class, his task has been completed, and the next step will depend on the Guangdong party.
Li Wenxi's performance is actually nothing, except for those young officials who have just been promoted to the rank of sergeant, the others are bureaucrats with administrative ability, and everyone has worked at the grassroots level, even if they have not been prefects, county governors, etc., but they have always served as officials, political officials, senators, and other officials, and they have never eaten pork and have always seen pigs run, so everyone knows in their hearts where the money went, and it was nothing more than being divided by officials at all levels in Henan. However, the governor of Henan still did things, at least more than 10 million silver dollars and more than 6 million were used in the right place, so that Wu Peichang was not bad.
