I heard that the group of courtiers below led by the eldest grandson Wuji impeached Jiang Zhixuan so unscrupulously. Li Shimin couldn't help frowning, this is too unusual, right? No matter how few words, Jiang Zhixuan's achievements in Hangzhou are also greater than his faults. Today, people have just returned to the court, and they haven't even taken a breath, and you are so excited to put people to death. Did people dig up your ancestral grave, or robbed your woman......

But Li Shimin can never say these words, he is the emperor, and the role of the emperor is to make a decision, not to pull a fight. So he didn't open his mouth, but cast a deep gaze on Wei Zheng's gang on the other side. These two groups were originally in the same group, but on the issue of Jiang Zhixuan, the eldest grandson Wuji had been carried away by anger and couldn't think rationally, so he stood on the opposite side of Wei Zheng......

Sure enough, as soon as the people on the eldest grandson Wuji's side finished speaking. Wei Zheng didn't wait for his younger brother to speak. Pick up your arms directly and go into battle shirtless. Standing up and bowing his hand to His Majesty Li Er first, he turned around and faced the group of eldest grandson Wuji, and retorted with a saliva and impassioned voice:

"Your Majesty, Lord Changsun, Lord Jiang, as a counterinsurgency minister, naturally has the right to deal with all the affairs of the Hangzhou Mutiny, including the handling of the rebels. The eldest grandson impeached Lord Jiang in this way, and it was difficult to convince the public. As for the charges of abuse of power, forming a party for personal gain, and nepotism impeached by several other adults, this official thinks that it is better to listen to Lord Jiang himself first, and then draw conclusions......

The eldest grandson Wuji was pushed by Wei Zheng like this, and he was so choked that he couldn't speak for a long time. He naturally knew that since he was a chincha, it was on behalf of His Majesty the Emperor, and he knew exactly what he could do under the authority of the qincha. Although Chen Wenyuan, Ouyang Brothers and others are all second-grade and third-grade masters, Jiang Zhixuan is a super-grade Qincha, and it is reasonable to deal with it in this way. It was only in a sudden anger that he temporarily lost his mind......

Li Shimin on the dragon case listened to Wei Zheng's similar concluding speech, and nodded lightly: "Well, Wei Qing is reasonable, Jiang Zhixuan, what do you say about the impeachment of several adults for your abuse of power, forming a party for personal gain, and employing nepotism?" ”

took advantage of the war of words between Wei Zheng and the eldest grandson Wuji just now. Jiang Zhixuan had already sorted out his thoughts, prepared his words, bowed down at the moment, and then said:

"Please allow Weichen to defend himself!"

"Accurate!" Li Shimin waved his hand generously, and his originally straight body was soothed again, and he leaned back on the dragon chair softly, looking leisurely and complacent. No wonder everyone in the world wants to be the emperor, this feeling of life and death is really ...... Refreshing! However, it would be nice if the dragon chair was a little softer......

His Majesty Li Er can be so leisurely and relaxed, but Jiang Zhixuan cannot. Although he expected in his heart that the person above would not really kill him. But if the performance is not good, and you can't talk about the affairs of Hangzhou and the Salt and Iron Administration, you will be ugly, and I am afraid that it will be difficult to get ahead in the future. He cleared his throat and said in a deep voice:

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Then he stood up, turned to the minister with a mouse face who had just impeached him, and asked with a cold look in his eyes:

"Dare to ask this lord, just now did you impeach the subordinate officials for abusing their power and enriching their own pockets? What are the credentials? ”

That rat face knew in his heart that something was wrong since His Majesty Li Er allowed Jiang Zhixuan to defend himself. No, Your Majesty's appearance doesn't seem to be a sign of punishing Jiang Zhixuan. But. The people who can get mixed up to this point and have a place in this court class are all fine characters. Hearing Jiang Zhixuan asking him for a certificate, he was not flustered, and replied calmly:

"Lord Jiang, Yushitai has the power to hear about things. Therefore, the official has no evidence in his hand, but recently the official has often received concerts from Suzhou and Hangzhou, impeaching you, Lord Jiang, and collecting silver money from the major salt and iron merchants in the name of setting up the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Monopoly Administration, the number of which is said to have reached as much as 3 million. Dare to ask Lord Jiang, where are these coins now? And where is it used? ”

Jiang Zhixuan smiled when he heard this, turned around and arched his hand to Li Shimin on the dragon case, and then turned to face the hundred officials:

"Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, the impeachment of this lord of the Imperial Observatory is indeed true. However, there are some inaccuracies. First, these coins were not forcibly collected from the major salt merchants and families by the lower officials, but in the name of shareholding, the price was clearly marked, and the higher price was obtained; Second, of the 3 million, 1.5 million guan need to be used for the preparation of the salt and iron franchise bureau and must stay in Hangzhou, and the other 1.5 million guan has been exchanged for flying tickets and brought back to Beijing to be handed over to the national treasury; Third, among the three million. There are nearly 100,000 of them from the lower officials! Dare to ask you, where have you ever seen someone like a subordinate official, taking money out of his pocket to enrich his own pockets? ”

"As for the other adult, impeachment of the lower officials is nepotism. The lower official wanted to ask this lord, but I don't know if the official department had ever received a letter from the lower official to apply for the promotion of 100 young low-level officials to serve in the Salt and Iron Franchise Office. Long before the establishment of the Salt and Iron Administration, the lower officials had already issued three concerts to the ministry. After the establishment of the Salt and Iron Administration, there was a shortage of manpower, and even the lower officials had to go into battle in person to supervise the construction of the major salt works. At that time, the lower officials once issued three concertans in a row, and once again applied for the transfer of manpower from the Ministry of Officials to fill the vacancy. But to this day, no one has been sent from the ministry.

The lower officials are doing errands given by His Majesty, so they naturally have to find ways to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty. If the officials did not send officials down, the officials had no choice but to solve the manpower problem on their own...... Dare to ask this lord, do you mean to ignore the errand assigned by His Majesty, and let the Jianghuai and Huai provinces lose millions of salt and iron taxes every year? ”

The one who impeached Jiang Zhixuan for nepotism happened to be the left servant of the ministry. Jiang Zhixuan said that he naturally knew the movements. However, since Jiang Zhixuan went to Hangzhou, he began to investigate and handle the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case. Under the instruction of the eldest grandson Wuji, the officials opposed Jiang Zhixuan everywhere. But all the pieces presented by Jiang Zhixuan. Whether it is justified or not, the officials vetoed it all. At this time, when Jiang Zhixuan told him about this in the court, the old man of the left servant of the ministry blushed. Li Shimin, who was worried about the Chaolong case, glanced at it, for fear that Li Shimin would be furious because of this.

Fortunately, Li Shimin didn't seem to have the intention of getting angry for the time being, and the left waiter of the ministry was a little more stable in his heart. But Jiang Zhixuan's rebuttal was speechless. Regardless of the circumstances of the ministry. In the matter of the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Administration, it is unreasonable. In the past three or four months, more than 100 officials were asked to be transferred, and seven pieces of music were issued, but none of them were transferred. When did the officials of Datang become so tight......

After asking these two people, Jiang Zhixuan turned to the eldest grandson Wuji again. was about to carry forward the style of 'it is advisable to chase the poor man with the remaining bravery', and then hit this eldest grandson and the elder upside down, but he heard His Majesty Li Er on the dragon case cough lightly and slowly spoke:

"Hmm, Jiang Aiqing's words, do you still have questions?"

Jiang Zhixuan saw that His Majesty Li Er did not let him attack the eldest grandson Wuji, and at first thought that His Majesty the Emperor was taking care of the face of his uncle. Immediately, he suddenly woke up: this is not the case at all, the eldest grandson Wuji impeached him for his audacity and recklessness, relying on the identity of Qincha to kill the first evil of the Hangzhou mutiny; And this matter, but His Majesty Li Er hinted that he did it. If it is pulled out above the court, there may be some other turmoil......

At this time, Hubu Shangshu stood up: "The old minister has some questions, and I want to ask Lord Jiang ......" said and looked at His Majesty Li Er on the dragon case with a look of inquiry, and saw that the other party nodded in agreement, so he turned around and made a gesture to Jiang Zhixuan first, and then said slowly:

"May I ask Master Jiang, how does the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Franchise Department divide its functions and powers, and how does it operate? And why do you need such a large amount of money to support it? Why did Master Jiang allow people's money to flow into it? ”

These questions were asked by Jiang Zhixuan as early as when Xiaoxiao proposed this idea to Jiang Zhixuan. Therefore, this was not difficult for Jiang Zhixuan at all, only to hear him clear his throat, and his magnetic voice sounded again:

"Back to the boss's words, the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Franchise Department has set up one salt and iron envoy and two salt and iron deputy envoys to be in charge of the production, transportation and sales of salt and iron in the Jianghuai and Huaihe provinces. The Salt and Iron Administration was separated from the local yamen and was under the direct jurisdiction of the imperial court. Under the Salt and Iron Minister, each prefecture and county set up a separate salt and iron order to supervise the local production and transportation of salt and iron. The sales of salt and iron were in charge of the chief and deputy envoys of salt and iron, and the imperial court opened hundreds of sales points within the Jianghuai and Huai provinces to sell directly to the people. It eliminates the previous layers of exploitation, on the one hand. It can make the price of salt and iron drop significantly; On the other hand, because all of them were in the hands of the imperial court and the sales volume was large, the income increased instead of decreasing......

As for why such a large amount of money is needed, I believe the boss also understands. To open so many sales points within the Jianghuai and Huaihe provinces, it is naturally very expensive. However, if you want the treasury to come up with as much as 1.5 million yuan in cash at one time, I believe that the boss will first fight with the lower officials. The implementation of the new salt and iron policy is imperative, so the lower officials can only attract private capital and let them participate in it in the form of cooperative dividends. In this way, it not only solves the problem of capital, but also gives the wealthy lords who were engaged in salt and iron trading in the past a chance to prevent them from ...... Belch...... Desperate, reckless, reckless......"

The old man of the household department has been the housekeeper of this court for more than ten years, so he naturally has some level. Of course, he could understand the meaning of Jiang Zhixuan's words, and he also knew the benefits that this could bring to the imperial court. Therefore, after pondering for a long time, the old man smacked his lips, then turned to His Majesty Li Er on the dragon case, and said tremblingly:

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Lord Jiang's move will definitely bring extremely huge profits to the treasury. However, Jiang Daren's move is inevitably suspected of competing with the people for profit. Therefore, the old minister impeached Lord Jiang for competing with the people for profit, please Your Majesty Holy Judgment! ”

Jiang Zhixuan was dumbfounded again, thinking that this old man would praise him a few words after listening to his eloquent talk. I didn't expect that in the end, it was praised, but after it was praised, it was also impeached. Just wanted to scream a few times, and then suddenly woke up - this old guy Gao Wow: Your Majesty must need to punish yourself in order to appease the eldest grandson Wuji and these people in the East Palace, which means it! But if it is according to the impeachment of the old guys in front of him, any of them are the crime of killing the head, and His Majesty will definitely not be happy. There is only the charge of impeachment of this old Shangshu: competing with the people for profit, this kind of thing can be big or small, and it is not a matter at all......

Sure enough, His Majesty the Emperor, who had never expressed his position on the Dragon Case, listened to the content of the impeachment of this Tobe Shangshu, and a trace of imperceptible appreciation flashed on his face, and then stood up:

"The decree is that Jiang Zhixuan, the former assassin of Hangzhou, served as the envoy for the disposal of the Suzhou-Hangzhou salt and iron case, and set up the Jianghuai Salt and Iron Franchise Office to compete with the people. was fined for one year, and Jiang Zhixuan was removed from the post of Hangzhou assassin, and still retained the title of founding earl. ordered him to reflect at home, not to will, not to leave Beijing without authorization...... Retreat! ”

A cadre of ministers hurriedly shouted long live, although the eldest grandson Wuji and others were unwilling, but as soon as His Majesty the Emperor's golden mouth opened, they couldn't say anything! Just when everyone was about to leave, they saw the chief eunuch beside the queen running back in a hurry, and shouted from afar:

"Master Jiang stays, the queen has a ......"

His shout immediately hooked the minds of all the courtiers again. The people on the side of the eldest grandson Wuji celebrated one after another, thinking that this was the queen's mother's plan to find a place for her brother. But the eldest grandson Wuji frowned, his sister knew very well that he would never interfere in this kind of affairs in the court. What's more, this lady surnamed Jiang ">, and she has saved his sister's life three times and twice, so my sister will never go to trouble this surnamed Jiang. On the contrary, it is likely that it was instructed by His Majesty the Emperor:

A slap and a sweet date, this was originally the imperial means of the Son of Heaven......

Jiang Zhixuan hadn't reacted at this time, the position of Hangzhou Assassin couldn't be kept, he knew it as early as the day the eunuch arrived in Hangzhou. What he didn't expect was that he would easily pass the test like this, originally he thought that he would at least be scolded fiercely, and then strip away his official title or something, and let himself be a flat-headed common man for a while, but he didn't expect it to be so easy?

And at this time, the queen sent someone to invite her, maybe there would be benefits, thinking like this, Jiang Zhixuan even had a smile on his face:

"Isn't it that Niangniang brought Xiaoxiao and Tiger Head and Yaya Dan to the palace again, and she wants to give me a banquet ......" Thinking like this, Jiang Zhixuan completely ignored the whispers of the hundred officials behind him, and followed the eunuch towards the Tai Liquid Pool with his head held high......
