I am the king of the dead

Chapter 214 Jingcha
Zhu Qiyu continued: "Thirdly, I plan to set up a tribute market in the border area. I plan to discuss this matter at the Salt and Iron Conference. At the court meeting, I will see what opinions you all have."

He said this with a certain historical background. The Ming Dynasty’s attack on Wala would inevitably require a large number of horses. The Ming Dynasty had horses, but the number was not many. It was enough for post horses, but it was a bit powerless for war horses and long-distance consignments.

It is too far away from Lin, without horses, relying on human power instead of animal power, the soldiers are exhausted, and it is really difficult to supply.

Secondly, in fact, there are already a lot of people in the market, and there are a lot of private transactions. The Tatars and Wuliangha people rely on trading with Daming to exchange for salt, tea, iron, forging and other things needed for life.

It is common practice for officials to overthrow the people.

The iron here is mainly iron pots and farm tools.

There is also the corruption of the horse government, which is the reason for the establishment of the tribute market.

"Okay, let's get started." Zhu Qiyu dropped three issues, and these three issues involved Daming's external strategies within a few years.

Hu Wei first stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I think that the Siyi Pavilion should be sent to Jinmen, and placed in the capital to spy on the falsehood of the Central Plains. If Wala went south, it might not be suspected that the envoys of Wala were spying. Send it to Jinmen. The capital cannot be false. smell."

The first thing Hu said was about the Siyi Pavilion, which was set up in the capital and could be easily detected and sent to Tianjin Wei. Even if the news was obtained, it would be out of date to confirm whether it was true or not, and then send it from Jinmen to the grassland.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Yes."

This is not the first time this matter has been brought up, it has been mentioned before, but the timing is not very good. At that time, Wala went south again to attack Xuanfu, Zhu Qiyu did not do it in order to stabilize the Tatars.

Now that the Siyi Pavilion has been moved to Jinmen, the time is ripe to prevent Wala, Tatars, North Korea, and Japan from inquiring about the affairs of the capital.

This is also the premise of doing these things.

Hu Wei continued: "The captives are arrogant and arrogant, and they can't be suppressed too much. They have a heart of solitude and obedience. But the barbarians are greedy, and they must be restrained. With Du Wuyan's covetousness, the minister thinks that the tribute market can be done, but There must be a definite number."

"In July of the third year of Yongle, Du Timur led his troops to the Ming Dynasty. Emperor Taizong Wen named him Wu Yuncheng, and he followed Emperor Taizong's northern expedition many times to fight against Mengwu."

"When Emperor Taizong asked the emperor if his martial arts were not good enough, there were only conquests and martial arts strategies against captives."

"The captives also use outsiders for every kindness to gain their death power. Wu Yuncheng, father and son, and brother were martyred together, and Chai Bingcheng, father and son, Luo Mobei, were in charge."

Wu Yuncheng returned to Daming, and followed Zhu Di to conquer. Wu Yuncheng's two sons, Wu Kezhong and Wu Keqin, died in the Battle of Yaoerling in Tumubao Tianchang.

Zhu Qiyu also asked Yu Qian to go to Yao'erling and Jiming Mountain to see them. Dead people don't lie.

Wu Yuncheng, the outsider's general, died in the fort.

Chai Bingcheng is another outsider general who is stationed in Liangzhou, Gansu, and is also loyal to Daming.

Hu Wei stood up again and washed the floor.

After His Majesty opened his mouth, he immediately found a foothold for His Majesty to open the tribute market.

What His Majesty did did not violate the law of the ancestors. After all, Emperor Taizong Wen used two strategies when he was imperial court, one hand was a big stick, and the other was a carrot for knighthood.

Your Majesty's plan to attack Oala is a conquest, and if he wants to capture captives, he will naturally open a tribute city to gain the power of Tatar and Wuliangha.

Even if they can't win the hearts of the Tatars, the Tatars must weigh it clearly. In the battle between Daming and Oirats, whether the Tatars are on the side of Daming or the Oirats.

Daming wins, they still have Gongshi to live, and Wala wins, they are still puppets, and life will be even worse.

The ministers sighed, after finally finding another decision that seemed to go against their ancestors, Hu Yi washed the ground again, and he couldn't spray it.

What is a professional?This is professional!

Zhu Qiyu nodded, motioning for Hu Min to return to work.

This can be regarded as standing firm in terms of etiquette. The ancestors always pulled and beat, and Zhu Qiyu pulled and beat, which is the system inherited from the ancestors.

If you have the ability, go spray Emperor Taizong Wen!
Whoever wants to complain about Emperor Taizong, Zhu Qiyu can send him to see Taizong.

The rest is up for discussion at the Salt and Iron meeting.

Yu Qian stood up and said: "I think that the reconstruction of the old city of Jining, Dongshengwei, Sanjiang City, Weiluwei, Weiyuanwei and other guards in Monan can be done together with Gongshi."

"Looking at the Xuanfu Frontier Affairs Zuoge, Zhu Chun reported that Xuanfu city horses were reported for 12 horses and 24 taels of silver. Over the years, [-] horses and [-] taels of silver were delivered. It consumes a lot."

"Opening the tribute market will help to stabilize the price of livestock, and benefit the country and the people."

The main source of war horses in Ming Dynasty is private trade, and more than 20 taels of silver are spent on horses every year. There is no standard for these horses, and there is no fixed number.

What Yu Qian meant was to open the market in Kaigong City to save money.

The money has to be spent, so there must be regulations, rules, and outlines. Rather than being so unclear, it is better to put it on the table.

Six taels of silver for a horse is really too expensive.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Is there anyone objecting?"

"If you feel that the mirror in Fengtian Palace hangs high, then you can talk about it at the Yantie Conference. If you still feel that it is difficult to say it, and you feel that it is not appropriate to offend the two Minggongs, then write a memorial and hand it to Wenyuan Pavilion."

"If you feel that Wenyuan Pavilion still offends someone, you can go through the Secretary of General Administration. The six ministries have general administration and counselors, and you can send it directly to my case. What you say is reasonable, and I will accept it."

Zhu Qiyu is willing to let people talk, everyone gathers firewood like a flame, Daming spent so much effort to select them from the vast crowd, just to make them actively offer advice.

As long as it is not empty talk, as long as it is not nonsense, Zhu Qiyu is willing to take a look and listen to the opinions of all parties.

He was scolded every day, and everyone called him the king of the subjugated country. Isn't it because Zhu Qiyu suffered great grievances in order to speak freely and express his feelings?

"What about the miraculous card?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, but they didn't speak. All the gold and silver used came from internal funds. His Majesty wanted to reward them, and they had no reason to object.

But they are very envious that His Majesty's miracle card can be given to craftsmen and generals, but their bureaucrats do not.

"That's the default." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Continue to discuss politics."

Wang Zhi, who had always been a teacher and pretended to be confused all day, stood up, bowed his head and said, "I invite Jingcha."

The Jingcha is the immune system of the Ming Dynasty officialdom. It is mainly responsible for rewards and punishments, evaluation, and weeding out corrupt officials and lax bureaucrats.

Investigate from four aspects, namely, Shou, Zheng, Cai, and Year.

Ethics: integrity, fairness, and corruption; government affairs: diligence, peace, and slack; talents: long, flat, and short; age: young, middle, and old.

During the Hongwu period, it was once every three years, during the Yongle and Xuande years, it was once every six years, and during the Zhengtong period, it was once every ten years.

During the years of Hongwu, Yongle, and Xuande, the Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Six Divisions, the Ministry of Officials, the Department of General Administration and other departments jointly conducted a large-scale inventory of all officials in the capital.

Especially for corruption, during the Hongwu period they would be stripped of their skins and weeds, during the Yongle period they would be exiled, and during the Xuande period they would be dismissed.

By the tenth year of orthodoxy, the Jingcha has become a self-declared judge, that is, to write a petition to make a ruling.

Just write a memorandum by myself and get things done hastily.

Naturally, Wang Zhi didn't invite Chen Qingshu's muddle-headed and muddled method of Beijing inspection.

It was created by the young orthodox emperor Sanyang Huyou back then. Wang Zhi naturally invited the four ministries to join forces to inspect the Beijing officials.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said: "I have often heard that the cabinet ministers of the court and the six ministries of the Ming Dynasty often protect their subordinates and harass Rao to inspect the codes, causing the officials to fight against each other. Often take the opportunity to stop."

"Executive officers are often known for their generosity. Every time the Beijing Procuratorate, only a few people are dismissed, and the rest are all gracious. Those who are impeached will inevitably feel wronged."

In the orthodox years, Jingcha from Chen Shu was actually a helpless choice.

Zhu Shaoguo suspects that if there is a large-scale Beijing investigation and powerful officials fight, the party will suffer and the country will be detrimental, so officials of the fourth rank and above can only make their own presentations.

Since ancient times, there is nothing more dangerous than: the emperor's departure, captives' entry, relocation, and party disasters. The four of them are in a short-term trend, and the judgment of survival is also.

In order to avoid party disputes, Xiao Qiang was brought into trouble.There are certain internal reasons for the matter of the Beijing inspection, which is a mere formality and takes the opportunity to stop.

Zhu Qiyu looked at the expectant eyes of the ministers, considered for a long time and said: "How about this, the six ministers, the chief constitution of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the principals of each temple are in charge of Jinyiwei, Sili Supervisor and Dongchang. There is a secretary in charge, and I won't make things difficult for you."

What will happen if a small official checks a high official?
It's just that the petty officials dare not investigate or move.

When Hu Wei refuted Yushi Hezhang's impeachment before, Yipin realized that it was not the emperor who asked him to dismiss get out of class, so he immediately turned his head, and his whole momentum changed.

But it is too difficult to check the six ministers with the help of the six subjects and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Zhu Qiyu himself investigated the Six Departments, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was in charge, and the Sixth Division gave Shizhong, the General Administration Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate Yushi to pick up the rest of the Beijing officials.

The officials looked at me and I looked at you, and finally bowed their heads and said loudly: "Your Majesty is holy!"

The Jingcha and Daji mentioned by Zhu Qiyu are two nouns. The Jingcha is aimed at the officials in the capital, and the Daji is aimed at all the ministers and workers in the world.
Zhang Juzheng himself served as Minister of the Ministry of Officials, followed Gao Gong's footsteps, and continuously increased the intensity of the Ministry of Officials' Beijing inspection. Finally, he made several big plans, and reached the point where he followed the government even though it was thousands of miles away.

If you want to eradicate the administration of officials, the Jingcha and the big plan must be solid, otherwise talking about the administration of officials is just empty talk.

Zhu Qiyu hadn't activated the Jingcha before, because of the First Battle of the Civil Fortress, there were 66 civil and military personnel in the court, and 48 civil officials. Among them, there were six Minggongs, and only two were missing.

check?
What to check?
People are gone, how to check?
The Ming court has been in operation for nearly a year and four months, and the number of members has increased a lot.

In order to avoid the resurgence of party misfortunes, Zhu Qiyu did not have the Jingcha all the time. He waited until the Mansion Law was fully implemented to limit the cooperation of the Beijing officials before raising the big stick of the Jingcha.

Avoiding the disaster of the party is what every emperor must do.

Officials can stir up undercurrents, but they are absolutely not allowed and not allowed to form cliques, rival each other, fight each other, fight openly, raise a big banner, and oppose clearly for the sake of opposition.

In the hall, there can only be one voice.

It's just that Zhu Qiyu frowned tightly. How could the mood of these courtiers be so stable?
Zhu Qiyu won't be fishing this time!It is to pump water directly, and fish each fish one by one to check the quality.

They actually stood still, as if you were checking them casually?

His Majesty's official residence law has been in the air since last year. His Majesty has waited so long for the big stick of Jingcha before letting the Ministry of Officials promote it at this time.

It has been nearly a year and a half to adjust and sort out.

His Majesty has given enough time for forgiveness. If His Majesty ascends the throne, if he doesn't stop, it's his own fault.

If this is the case, if it is found out that there is a major crime that needs to be punished by peeling the skin, is it because His Majesty is violent, or are the courtiers who don't know the way to be a courtier?
It's been a year and a half, and I don't know the new dynasty's elegant politics, so why stand in the court hall?
Go to the Tai Hospital to report by yourself.

In the officialdom of Ming Dynasty, one Li Binyan was enough.
