Listening to the only one year of fine, several ministers in the study were secretly relieved, even Fu Ning'an was only demoted, fined, and did not expel him from the study, it can be seen that Zhenwu has no intention of playing the topic, the pattern of the study is basically stable, Ma Qi is secretly jealous in his heart, Zhang Pengxi was not implicated, he not only has the secretary of the ministry, but also the secretary of the household, even Karma Tu was demoted to three levels, but he has nothing to do, the depth of the holy family is really enviable.

Zhang Pengxi was not complacent at all, but said: "Wechen has served as the secretary of the household department for many years, and the affairs of the household department have also been involved so far. ”

Everyone couldn't help but secretly respect what they said, Zhang Pengxi's words were true, not a lie, this mentality is really difficult, no wonder Zhenwu favored him, even Ma Qi secretly admired him.

Zhenwu glanced at everyone, groaned slightly, and then spoke: "The case of fraud in the warehouse should not be too extensive, so it will be stopped." As he spoke, he glanced at Ma Qi and said, "Ma Qi, a scholar of Wuyingdian University, has held important positions, is diligent and prudent, honest, loyal to the country, and consistent, and is promoted to a scholar of the Temple of He. ”

Everyone was stunned, no one thought that Zhenwu would suddenly promote Ma Qi to a scholar of the Baohe Palace at this time, so that the study room is a full of two scholars of the Baohe Palace, this is the pattern of balancing the study, and the people present are all extremely talented, and they immediately realized the intention of Zhenwu's move.

The promotion was too sudden, and Ma Qi was not mentally prepared, and he was a little stunned when he heard the words, so he knocked calmly: "Slave Xie Emperor Longen." ”

Zhenwu nodded slightly, Ma Qi is inlaid with a yellow flag, and he is also the pillar of the old Bayi Party, and his promotion to the scholar of the Baohe Palace is not only to balance the situation, but also to appease the princes and nobles, and to inspire the princes and nobles of the three banners to serve their lives. The meaning of winning over the members of the old Bayi Party is included.

After a slight pause, he continued: "Xiao Yongzao, Song Zhu plus the title of Prince Taibao, Wenyuan Pavilion University Scholar Wang Liang promoted to Wenhuadian University Scholar." ”

Several people didn't expect that all the ministers in the study room except Fu Ning'an would have a reward. Xiao Yongzao and Wang Luo hurriedly knocked on thanks. ”

Zhang Pengxi immediately realized that Zhenwu's move was a signal to reward the ministers, which was intended to stabilize people's hearts and encourage a group of ministers to do their errands solidly. It can be called a disaster for the country and the people, the family property is confiscated, and the punishment of the Ming canon is really deserved, but the emperor ascended the throne, and at the beginning of the reform, he should have granted amnesty to the world to show his kindness, and the micro-ministers prayed that the emperor would be slightly more lenient in dealing with the criminals in the case of fraud in the warehouse. ”

Hearing this, Ma Qi immediately stabilized his mind. This year is the first year of Zhenwu, and if you really want to kill people at the beginning of the year, this is a big bad omen. And he didn't have time to think about it, so he followed and said: "One person cries to the corner, the whole hall is unhappy, and many of the officials and officials are all married in the flag, and the family has a mourning and a hundred families mourn, the emperor ascends the throne, and the whole world celebrates, so severely punished." The slave was afraid of hurting the emperor's benevolence, and the slave begged the emperor to be a little lenient to show the emperor's grace. ”

Hearing the words of the two, Zhenwu couldn't help but be silent for a while, the new emperor has always ascended the throne to amnesty the world, in order to show the emperor's grace. Benefiting the world, this has become a practice, if he does the opposite, it is inevitable to be criticized, Ma Qi said is even more worrying, because the flag, the people do not intermarry, the upper three flags and the lower five flags are rarely intermarried, therefore, the marriage of the flag people are in a very narrow range.

After more than 70 years of entering the customs, after four or five generations of mutual marriage, the flag people are indeed intertwined, the blood is connected, a family has a hundred mourning, it is not an exaggeration, it is really necessary to cut off hundreds of heads, half of the inner city has to hang white flags, if the flags are disgruntled by the princes and nobles to instigate and agitate, there may be some chaos. …,

However, if this group of corrupt officials is not severely punished, the rectification of the local granary will be a mere formality, which is really a bit of a dilemma, at this moment, Wang Luo opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the new emperor has always ascended the throne, changed the year name, established the queen, established the prince and other major celebrations, the court has been widely benevolent, amnesty to the world, however, the amnesty of all dynasties and dynasties has not pardoned corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

Tang Taizong in the fourth year of Zhenguan, Zhenguan nine years of two amnesty in the world, even the capital crimes are pardoned, the law is not among the pardon of the officials who bend the law and bribe, Song Taizu issued two amnesty decrees, officials who receive stolen goods are not among the pardons, micro ministers steal that the rectification of the warehouse, severely punish the corrupt warehouse officials, do not damage the emperor's benevolence, nor affect the emperor's benevolence in the world. ”

Listening to this, Zhang Pengxi, Ma Qi, Xiao Yongzao are all slanderous, Zhenwu has just ascended the throne now, there is a Taishang Emperor above, and there are a few brothers who participate in the struggle for the crown prince below, and the power is not weak, and Zhenwu has collected the military power of the Eight Banners at this juncture, and implemented the Eight Banners Innovation, the banner owners, princes and nobles are all dissatisfied, once severely punished, dozens of hundreds of heads fall to the ground, will not the people be resentful, and the slightest negligence will cause chaos, how can this situation be compared with Tang Taizong and Song Taizu?

After a slight groan, Zhang Pengxi said: "Your Majesty, the amount of fraud in the warehouse is huge, and there are many warehouse officials and grain merchants involved in the case, so it is better to first seize the property of a group of criminal officials and grain merchants involved in the case, and then calmly and carefully examine and screen them." ”

Hearing this, Zhenwu already understood what he meant, this is to ask him to drag the case for a while, this method is not bad, drag it out for three and a half years, and then calmly clean them up, but it is just cheaper for a group of local officials, but, in this way, the scapegoat for this spring drought is gone?

Hearing Zhang Pengxi's proposal to seize the grain merchant's property, Ma Qi couldn't help frowning slightly, groaned slightly, and then bowed down and said: "This is a great good, but the slave steals that the grain merchant and the official still have to be different, it is better to strictly order the grain merchant to return the grain by himself, if it is not true, it will be severely punished after it is found." ”

Zhenwu groaned slightly, and when he saw that no one said anything more, he said: "The case of fraud in the warehouse shook the government and the opposition, and the amount of embezzlement of official food is so huge, it is really rare, and there must be huge greed among them. As for the grain merchants involved in the case, they were ordered to confess on their own and return the grain doubly, and if the report was untrue, it was the same as the other criminals. ”

Zhenwu, who listened to it, finally relented, and everyone was secretly relieved, first kill a few huge greed to deter the Beijing division and local officials, and boost the people's hearts, which is also reasonable, such a big case, it is definitely not possible not to kill a few, and ordering the grain merchants to double their spit out food, not only to complete the face of the princes and nobles, but also to make up for the loss of official food, and more importantly, such a disposal will not cause panic among the banner people.
