In the next two days, Zhu Daming did not meet with the minister again to discuss government affairs, except for reviewing the excerpts handed in by the celebrant supervisor, he had some rare leisure to accompany the queen and the two concubines of the harem. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's cabinet, there are only three ministers, on the abolition of the Jiliao Governor's Palace, and the establishment of the Zhili Governor's Palace, and by the Wuyingdian University Scholar, the Ministry of War, and the Minister of Military Aircraft concurrently served as the Governor of Zhili's holy decree issued, Sun Chengzong first rushed to Tongzhou to check and arrange the residence of the Zhili Governor's Yamen, etc., and then rushed to Shanhaiguan to direct the removal and relocation of the Jiliao Governor's Palace, and was so busy that he had no time to meet the emperor to discuss matters.

Together with Qiao Yunsheng, the new secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Biao, the Imperial History of Zuodu of the Inspectorate, and Liu Zongzhou, the Zhengqing of Dali Temple, according to the evidence of Jinyiwei and Dongchang's investigation and confiscation, they agreed on the list of eunuch party personnel according to the emperor's wishes, divided them into ranks, and agreed on the charges.

This matter is not a trivial matter, in history, until the third year of Chongzhen, the eunuch case was not settled, and it was not completely cleaned up, resulting in the party dispute between the eunuch party and Donglin until the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

The reason why it was not cleaned up in history was because Emperor Chongzhen was still not ruthless enough, and he did not copy his house in a timely manner, and he did not copy many useful things, and it was all up to the ministers in charge of investigating and handling the eunuch case to find clues and evidence by themselves.

Of course, this time it can't be like this, Jinyiwei and Dongchang's house raids and evidence collection are very effective, and they don't pay all attention to evidence, those who have evidence look at the evidence, those who don't have evidence look at the impeachment of the imperial historian, and look at the reports of the government and the opposition, in short, whether it is a Beijing official or a local official, in the court, in the office, and even in the opposition, as long as it is a eunuch, it will definitely be liquidated.

Some people may say that many of these people had no choice but to defect to the eunuch party back then, which is true, but they still have to be raided.

Among these people are the first ministers of the cabinet, there are scholars and servants, and there are noble families, all of whom are wealthy and wealthy large landowners, big businessmen, and big mansions, and it is not only politically correct to raid their homes, but also very economically cost-effective.

It's not that Zhu Daming has to get along with these people, it's really that Zhu Daming can't find other channels for money that are more justifiable, righteous and awe-inspiring, fast and efficient.

As the saying goes, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, for the court finances that are thirsty to death, there is a eunuch party near the water, so why bother looking for the far water.

For example, although the problem of arrears of wages in Jiubian and Beijing has not been completely resolved, it has at least been greatly alleviated, and the risk of non-commissioned soldiers losing money, fleeing, or even mutiniing because they cannot eat has been greatly reduced.

Even in the inner court, the life of the concubines can not be so tight, the eunuchs and palace maids have rewards, and there are smiles on their faces, and the entire palace is much more relaxed and harmonious. In addition, there is no need to discount the officials' salaries.

Although many officials are born in generations of official eunuchs, they are big landowners or big businessmen, and they do not live on their salaries at all, but there are always some Qing officials who are born in poverty, and they have to live on their already meager salaries. It may be possible in the short term to let the horses run without letting the horses graze, but it is certainly not possible in the long term.

When an official cannot survive without corruption and bribery, then corruption and bribery are inevitable. The political crisis at the end of the Ming Dynasty was largely rooted in the financial crisis of the imperial court. Zhu Daming saw this very clearly, so no matter how many officials wrote against the raid, it was impossible to shake his determination to make money as soon as possible.

Of course, Zhu Daming was not making money for himself, he was making money to alleviate the financial crisis of the imperial court.

In fact, there are not many officials in the Ming Dynasty, the total number of civil and military officials is about 150,000, and the officials' salaries have been pitifully low, ranging from sixty taels to two hundred and twenty taels per person per year. Therefore, the number of officials who can get two hundred and twenty taels is only a very few, and on average, each official's annual income is only about one hundred taels.

But even so, if a year's official salary is paid in full, the imperial court also needs to spend fifteen million taels of silver, and the financial revenue of the household department in the late Ming Dynasty will only receive six or seven million taels of silver every year.

Thinking about the astronomical military expenditures, and the nearly 100,000 children of the clan who do not work, the financial revenue of the imperial court is completely on the verge of collapse beyond its means.

If you don't know how expensive firewood and rice are, you don't know how expensive they are In the face of the financial situation of the Ming Dynasty, if he wants to improve in a short period of time, Zhu Daming really has no other way than to copy the homes of corrupt officials.

In the past few days, Zhu Daming has been brewing to copy another big household. This big household is King Fu, whose fief is located in Luoyang. In terms of blood, this Fu Wang is his uncle. But of course, he has no feelings for this blessed king at all. Chongzhen in history is the same, but because of the Confucian Gangchang, he didn't start to clean up King Fu.

Of course, if there is no sufficient reason, or a high-sounding reason, Zhu Daming cannot easily make a move on the blessed king Zhu Changxun.

Zhu Changxun is the most favored prince of the Wanli Emperor, because his biological mother is the most favored concubine Zheng Guifei of the Wanli Emperor. And Zhu Youxiao and Zhu Youzhen's brothers' father, Guangzong Zhu Changluo, although he is the eldest son of Emperor Wanli, is the occasional palace maid of Emperor Wanli, and the palace maid is pregnant and born.

Since the day he was born, Zhu Changluo has never received any love from Emperor Wanli. But this Zhu Changluo is very competitive, not only survived various conspiracy traps in the court and successfully grew up, but also gentle and elegant, showing talent, and was unanimously praised by the ministers of the court.

The emperor did not like it, but the ministers did. So on the issue of canonizing the crown prince, the emperor and the courtiers went to opposition, a fight is decades, and finally under the pressure of hundreds of officials in the court, Zhu Changluo had to be canonized as the crown prince, but under the encouragement of Zheng Guifei, Zhu Changxun and his cronies, Emperor Wanli was always thinking of finding an opportunity to abolish Zhu Changluo's crown prince.

The most thrilling thing is the sensational attack case of the government and the opposition. Zhu Changluo was almost shot to death by a so-called madman who broke into the East Palace with a stick.

Historically, in the end, under the influence of Concubine Zheng Guifei, Emperor Wanli did not hold anyone responsible, but only beheaded Zhang Cha, a strong man who broke into the East Palace with a stick.

However, some time ago, this historical unsolved case was re-mentioned by Qu Shiyun's "Six Injustices", and Zhu Daming also took advantage of the situation to restart the investigation of the attack case and the red pill case, and now there is finally progress. Although the party Zhang Cha died, and Wang Zhihuan also died, Liu Guangfu did not die, and Zheng Guifei did not die.

When Zhu Daming ordered the resumption of the investigation, Liu Guangfu was still serving as the governor of Yunyang and had been in office for many years, and the former concubine of Emperor Zheng, soon after the Tianqi Emperor succeeded to the throne, was allowed to leave the palace and go to the Fuwang Domain to retire.

As for the parties to the later Red Pill case, Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo, they are still alive and well, and now, of course, they have all been taken back to Beizhen Fusi Prison by Jinyiwei, including Liu Guangfu.

This case was handed over to the Jinyi Weibei Zhenfu Division, that is, to Gong Yonggu and Wang Guoxing, including Gao Shiming, who is still the commander of the Gong Wei Division, who is still supervising and promoting the investigation of these two cases.

The emperor's meaning, Gao Shiming is very clear, and Wang Guoxin is not confused. And for Gong Yonggu, even if he thinks about it with his toes, he can also understand the emperor's intentions, not to mention the crime of killing the king, it is simply the revenge of killing his father, which is also not a common thing, not to mention that it is the emperor who wants to take revenge, in this case, what can he not do.

Of course, there is no need to say much about Jinyiwei's methods, since they were arrested and put in the Beizhen Fusi Prison, Liu Guangfu, Cui Wensheng, and Li Kezhuo knew that if these two things could not give a satisfactory explanation to the current emperor, they would definitely not be able to get out. Coupled with Gao Shiming's various hints, Liu Guangfu quickly said the answer that Zhu Daming wanted, that is, after the attack case, Zheng Guifei did send someone to find him and ask him to come forward to prove that Zhang Cha was crazy and a madman, and Zheng Guifei said that Emperor Wanli promoted and reused him.

As for Cui Wensheng and Li Kezhuo, they are all smart people, since they figured out that they were arrested by the new emperor for reintroducing the red pill case, they knew that they had no chance of being spared, in order to avoid the pain of flesh and skin, there was no need for Gao Shiming and Wang Guoxing to make more hints, and they quickly confessed Zheng Guifei and Fuwang Zhu Changxun.

As for what they said, how much is true and how much is false, maybe Gong Yonggu still wants to figure it out further, but Gao Shiming doesn't care at all, and after getting the confession, he pulled Gong Yonggu and Wang Guoxing to see the emperor and report it in person.

Of course, Zhu Daming doesn't care whether what these people say is true or false, as long as their confessions involve Zheng Guifei back then and Zhu Changxun, the current Fuwang, it is enough, as for the rest to do, is to choose the appropriate time to transfer Liu Guangfu, Cui Wensheng, Li Kezhuo and their confessions to the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, Dali Temple and the Zongren Mansion, and then the Three Law Divisions and the Zongren Mansion will deal with it.

No matter how it is dealt with in the end, a large amount of wealth and land in the Fuwang Mansion will be copied into the inner treasury and used for state use.
