"My lord, it seems that our case has been successfully solved, and it is time for a formal trial of this case." Cai Jindao.

"We will investigate the case, and we will ask for instructions on the interrogation."

"Excuse me?"

"Mr. Cai, there is no harm in asking for more instructions." Meng Yan smiled, he was already eye-catching enough, it was already a great credit for solving the case, and he also arrested the chief judge, wouldn't he swallow all the credit in one go?

This eating alone has always been a taboo in officialdom, even if he, the patrol envoy yamen, is the elite of the criminal department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate, when the time comes, the three major yamen will be able to share some credit, but these merits are recorded on the heads of those involved in handling the case, and the three major yamen will not get the slightest benefit.

This is a gesture, you can't let people catch the pigtails, Meng Yan doesn't want to start and finish well, but no, you haven't reached that position yet, you have to do things according to the rules.

"Mr. Cai, I'm going to bother you again, help me draw up an excerpt, explain the process of our case in detail, remember one, don't write too awkwardly, be straightforward, it's similar to telling a story, the more vivid the better!"

"Your Excellency, ...... you"

"Do you think the emperor is tired of watching those high-profile recitals all day long?" Meng Yan explained with a smile.

"My lord is smart, if you go up with this excerpt, the emperor will be happy!" Cai Jin gave a thumbs up.

"By the way, you can ask me for instructions later, saying that the case is clear, but this final trial must be led by the Three Law Divisions, and the inspection will make the yamen fully cooperate!" Meng Yan instructed.

"Understood. My lord, this is a credit for this, and now the Criminal Department, the Metropolitan Procuratorate and Dali Temple should all receive your love! ”

"I don't care if I receive my affection or not, what I care about is the law of the country, how to come and how to return, I can't mess with the law because I am personal." Meng Yan said solemnly.

"Adult's mind and bearing, Lao Cai, I am happy and convinced!" Cai Jinli was solemn, bent down and bowed.

"Mr. Cai, you also come to this set."

On the 20th, Fengtian Temple. Omaj.

"There is a decree in the Holiness. If you have something to do early, you will retire without a book! Jin Ying, the eunuch who was standing next to the Danqi, shook off the dust and shouted at the top of his voice.

"Long live the performance, the governor of Guangxi recitals. Liu Pu, the general soldier guarding Guangxi, set on slavery many times. Clashes with the local Yao people. For fear of provoking a civil uprising, please long live the order to investigate thoroughly! ”

"Quasi-play, the cabinet will discuss it. Who should I send? Zhu Qizhen sat on the dragon chair, thought for a moment and then ordered.

"The Cabinet obeys!"

"Wechen has a book!"

"Yu Aiqing, please speak!" For Yu Qian, Zhu Qizhen had a good impression, but now because of Yu Xin's relationship, he likes this upright and hardworking courtier very much.

Especially Yu Qian is not very old, he is in the prime of life, and he is the person who can be used.

"Long live Qizuo, the provincial tax bureaus collect a small amount of money, officials are absent from their duties, and the tax copies collected are not enough to give the officials' money, and in the long run, the more they collect, the more they lose, it is better to remove these loss-making tax copies, but they can increase the income of the imperial court!" Yu Qian said.

"Yu Aiqing's words are reasonable, the imperial court almost couldn't even pay out the silver for the soldiers who marched to Luchuan last year, and there were less than 30,000 taels of silver left in the household department, which was also due to the Jinyi Wei Jian, who carried out a public security purge in the capital, inspected a group of illegal business elements, collected and fined some dirty silver, and only then did it be regarded as contacting the urgent need, so the imperial court should open up sources and reduce expenditure, and some unnecessary expenses should be cut, starting from me, one is counted as one, and the use of my palace will be reduced by one percent!" Zhu Qizhen said.

"The emperor is strict and economical, this is the house of all people!"

"I have calculated, in this way, the inner palace can save 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver, and I plan to use this silver for the northwest border defense!"

Upon hearing this news, many generals and ministers of the DPRK and China felt a sense of heartfelt joy at the fact that the defense of the northwest frontier was becoming increasingly abandoned.

The imperial court was finally about to break away from the protracted battle of Luchuan in the south, and paid attention to the defense of the northwest frontier.

"Within three years, the cabinet will set aside a fee of one million taels of silver for me, and I really want to invest it in the defense of the northwest frontier."

"Holy Lord, how can I use this million taels of silver?" Chen Xun, the deputy assistant of the cabinet, was taken aback and hurriedly asked.

"One-third is used to improve armaments, one-third is used for soldiers' drills, and one-third is used to improve the lives of soldiers."

"Wechen understood." Chen Xun agreed.

"Long live, the imperial court killed Si Renfa last year, Si Renfa's son Si Jifa will definitely not give up, and the minister is afraid that Luchuan will rekindle the war, so you must not relax your guard against Luchuan!" Nanjing is not Shangshu Wang Ji, that is, the commander of the expedition to Luchuan, Jing Yuanbo Wang Ji, came out of the column and played loudly.

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

“……”

For the conquest of Luchuan, there are many ministers in the DPRK who support it, and Luchuan rebelled, resulting in instability in the southwestern border of the Ming Dynasty, and the government and the opposition hoped to have a solution once and for all, so the war against Luchuan was fought.

But no one expected that a small Luchuan actually let the Ming Dynasty spend ten years, and it took a lot of money, and finally it did not end up in a situation of eradication.

As the consumption increased, the wealth of the imperial court could not make ends meet, and many people's views changed, and the support was opposed.

Of course, those who supported the expedition to Luchuan were all military ministers, and military ministers relied on their military exploits to be crowned marquis and worship generals, and there was no big battle, where did they get the title and glory?

Now that the court is indeed out of money, Si Renfa is dead, even if Si Jifa is unwilling, but his strength is not enough, he can only lick his wounds and admit it.

At least for a year or two, there will be no major wars in Luchuan, which is finally a respite for the imperial court.

Luchuan is not fighting, where will the hundreds of thousands of soldiers go, this is a question, even if they are demobilized and go home, the imperial court will also have to pay for the settlement of their families.

The soldiers in the south are not adapted to the climate in the north, and even if these hundreds of thousands of people are transferred to the north to guard the border, it will require a huge amount of transportation costs, and after being transferred to the north, a large amount of resettlement fees will be required.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a Jianyì!"

"Zhang Lao Aiqing, please speak!"

"Can the soldiers who fought in Luchuan settle down on the spot, let them marry wives and have children in the local area, and the court will give them land and seal their officials, so that they can guard the border for my Ming Dynasty for generations?"

"The construction of the British public is very good, but it cannot be forced, it needs to be voluntary!" Shang Luo seconded.

"If the people of China live in harmony with the local people, which can not only ensure the stability of the border gates, but also promote ethnic integration, then Luchuan will no longer have the possibility of rebellion!"

Immigration, assimilation, this is indeed a good prescription, but this is not something that can be done overnight, at least three or four generations can be done, Meng Yan stood at the end of the court, thinking in his heart, he was allowed to participate in the court, and the position could only be sidelined.

The bigwigs in front of him were discussing state affairs, and he was not qualified to intervene like a small shrimp, and even the three or four civil and military generals in front of him were all looking at their noses and noses, as if the national affairs discussed earlier had nothing to do with them.

"This method is credible, the Ministry of War, calculate how many soldiers will be willing to settle in Luchuan, and how much resettlement will be required for each household."

"Wechen obeys." Xu Xi, the secretary of the military department, nodded yes.

The emperor said so, and Wang Ji could only temporarily retreat, and at the court meeting, things were not pragmatic.

"Is Meng Aiqing here?" For the Great Dynasty Meeting, Zhu Qizhen has long since lost the freshness of the original pro-government, and if he does more than anything, people will be bored, and the same is true for the court, for the emperor and officials, it is a torture.

At this kind of court meeting, there are so many people who can't say something, and some things can't be discussed, and they can only announce some heavy decisions.

"Long live our emperor Meng Yan, long live, long live!" Meng Yan is a spirit, this jump is too fast, how can he jump to himself all of a sudden?

"Meng Aiqing, flat, come to the front!" Zhu Qizhen said softly.

"Wechen obeys!"

Meng Yan got up, walked about seven or eight steps forward from approaching the gate of Fengtian Temple, stopped, and stood with his head bowed.

"Meng Aiqing, take two more steps!"

Meng Yan was helpless, opened his legs, took two steps forward, swept his eyes, and just saw Guo Nu standing in the military general squad on the right, and the two were almost standing on the same line.

"Everyone may think it is strange, how could Meng Aiqing appear at today's court meeting, according to his grade, he is not qualified to stand on top of the main hall of this Fengtian Palace." Zhu Qizhen got up from the dragon chair, walked down the Danqi, and walked down slowly.

At the Fengtian Temple Imperial Meeting, the ministers are all arranged in the order of their positions, not that you can stand there if you want to, everyone has a fixed position, and they can't move around at will during the court.

I'm afraid that the only person who can move around at will is the emperor, of course, if you are an emperor, you can only sit on the dragon chair and be an ornament.

Zhu Qizhen only got this power after he became pro-government.

Meng Yan felt that the eyes around him came with murderous aura, jealousy, envy and strong hostility.

It's not uncommon to come here once, not to mention, Meng Yan was calm in his heart, what do you like, I don't care at all.

"Yesterday, Meng Aiqing gave me a twist, talking about a case, which all Aiqing knows."

"What the emperor said is Bai Suxin's adultery and murder case." The king of the criminal department asked.

"It is this case, a few years ago, Yanshan Right Guard commanded Lord Li Xiong to write a letter to ask me to re-investigate this bizarre adultery murder case, the person who was killed was the son of Lord Li Xiong, and the murderer was actually his daughter-in-law who did not pass through the door, this case was investigated and interrogated by Dongchang, and it was quickly determined that Bai Suxin was the murderer, and also determined that she also had an adulterer, but Lord Li Xiong did not agree, he found some clues after more than a year of investigation, but he could not investigate openly, so he gave me an excerpt, I read it, the feelings are sincere, and every sentence comes from the bottom of my heart.
