Chongzhen: I am the king of prosperous times

Chapter 588

"My lord, this is received by the Supervisor of Rituals and forwarded by the Secretary of General Administration. It is a memorial related to impeachment."

Holding a stack of memorials, Wang Chengen walked into Dongnuan Pavilion, and reported to Emperor Chongzhen who was busy at his desk: "There are 67 memorials in total, all of them are..."

Ok?
Emperor Chongzhen put down his imperial pen, frowned and looked at Wang Chengen. This is all right, why are there so many impeachment memorials in court.

After all, although Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi were ordered to inspect the northern provinces for local fire consumption, investigation and relief, etc., most of the investigations that were submitted to Beijing were transferred to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Independent Commission Against Corruption.

"What's the situation?"

Looking at the memorials on the imperial case, Emperor Chongzhen picked up one, frowned and said, "Who submitted it, and who was involved?"

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said, "I would like to report to the emperor, according to the investigations done by the Supervisor of Rituals, it is related to local fire consumption, investigation and disaster relief, and involves the Ministry of Households, Ministry of Industry, Ministry of War and other departments.

Most of the impeached officials are members of the Donglin Party, and some of them..."

Party struggle? !
Emperor Chongzhen narrowed his eyes slightly, and immediately thought of something.

Through the situation reported by Wang Chengen, Emperor Chongzhen was keenly aware that the so-called party struggle this time would be directed at Han Yu.

"Min Hongxue?"

Seeing the signature of a memorandum, Emperor Chongzhen said with a half-smile, "This Wen Tiren, I am afraid that he is not satisfied with the position of the second assistant. I also saw that Zhou Yanru and Xu Guangqi have done a lot of research in the local area, so I am a little bit worried. I can't stand it anymore.

Wang Banban, recently Zhou Yanru under the rule of Beizhili, investigated the local fire consumption, how many rats were found? "

Wang Chengen bowed slightly and said, "I would like to report to the emperor that there are a total of 73 officials involved in the investigation of local fire damage, including 1 magistrate, 7 Tongzhi, and 16 county magistrates.

According to these detected officials, a total of 134 evil gentry and profiteers were provided, and the money involved was as high as 197 million taels.

However, at present, Mr. Zhou Ge is no longer in Beizhili, but has rushed to Shanxi to be under the rule. On the side of the Supervisor of Rites, there are corresponding memorabilia and copybooks. "

It's really a lot.

Emperor Chongzhen put down the memorial, and his expression became dignified. The rectification of officials in the Ming Dynasty's officialdom could not be reversed overnight.

It's not quite there yet.

If you want to deal with the civil servants, the best way is to let the civil servants take action, and temporarily use the so-called "Party Struggle Version Official Governance Reform" to find out some of the apparent malpractices.

If Zhou Yanru's knife is properly seduced and used well, it can save Emperor Chongzhen a lot of troubles, and then allow Emperor Chongzhen to concentrate on implementing the arrangements he has planned.

After all, human energy is limited.

Even if Emperor Chongzhen was the Son of Heaven, he couldn't do everything well, so he simply used the ambitions of Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren to help him accomplish some things.

Under the current circumstances, the first thing Emperor Chongzhen did was to introduce new changes to the Ming Dynasty, and through these new changes, attract more groups to join in.

This is far more practical than going off in person and going against the entire civil servant group.

Behind the group of civil servants in the Ming Dynasty, there are many groups gathered. What they care about is the land and the various outputs attached to the land.

What Emperor Chongzhen is doing at this stage is to fully avoid the important and light, use the least land to gather the most bankrupt groups, and then strengthen the foundation of various fields under the Ming Dynasty.

When the North Zhili side and the northern provinces were able to achieve the goals expected by Emperor Chongzhen, the treasury was relatively full, and the army headed by the Jingying was completely reformed, the vigorous New Deal reforms would be clearly displayed.

"Will all the fire consumption money involved be recovered in full?"

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon chair, stretched out his hand and said to Wang Cheng'en: "The recovered Huoxian silver will be escorted to Xishan in the name of the Ministry of Households, and all of it will be made into new money, and then the circulation of new money will be promoted."

"According to the situation in the hands of the Supervisor of Rites, 6% of the money has been recovered."

Wang Chengen cupped his hands and said: "The remaining part of the money is consumed by fire, and Yousi is still in the process of chasing it. It may auction off part of the land to make up for it."

"The supervisor of ceremonies is keeping an eye on it. If there is any situation, it must be submitted to the imperial court as soon as possible."

Emperor Chongzhen nodded slightly and said: "Another order was sent to the Ministry of Criminal Justice, telling the people in the Ministry of Criminal Justice that the part of the corrupt officials found out will be deprived of their fame and sent to Liaodong to guard the border, including their relatives.

In addition, let the Sili Supervisor send people to Liaodong to convey an oral order to Ningyuan Pinglu's former finger. The group of criminal officials exiled on the border will be under their direct control in the future, and let these border guards atone for their sins with hard work! "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen bowed hurriedly.

Regardless of the fact that Emperor Chongzhen did not take action to rectify the Ming Dynasty's officials, but let Han Jisi, Wen Tiren, and Zhou Yanru rectify it instead of himself.

However, those criminal officials who were detected would not be simply dismissed or seized their citizenship as in the past. Emperor Chongzhen wanted to exile these people in batches to Liaodong, Liuqiu Town and other places.

The meal should be eaten one bite at a time.

If you want to completely change the corrupt official environment in Ming Dynasty, it will take ten or eight years of intensive rectification, which will not achieve any effect, but at this stage, Daming still needs to be stable and develop, so it needs to be done step by step.

"Send all these impeachment memorials to the cabinet."

Emperor Chongzhen pointed to the memorabilia in front of him, and said to Wang Chengen: "Just ask Han Yu and Wen Tiren, the cabinet assists me in handling the affairs of state and governing the Ming Dynasty. Didn't you notice this situation at all?
In addition, I asked Wen Tiren, I let him also lead the ICAC, if the impeachment is true, then what is the use of the ICAC? "

"The slaves obey the order."

Wang Chengen worshiped again.

Emperor Chongzhen was very clear about Wen Tiren and Min Hongxue's hidden thoughts, but the current cabinet could not bring down Han Yu.

At least it can't fall down without adding fresh blood.

It is absolutely impossible for people like Wen Tiren and Zhou Yanru to become the chief ministers of the Ming cabinet. These two scheming politicians must not be in charge of the cabinet alone, otherwise they will hurt themselves.

"Let's fight, let's make trouble, I'd like to see if I can come up with some new tricks."

Looking at the back of Wang Chengen's departure, Emperor Chongzhen said with a half-smile, "If you don't fight with each other, your attention will be on me. The most important thing in Ming Dynasty is to be an official."

Emperor Chongzhen was satisfied with the current court structure. Maybe some innocent officials would be involved in the process, but it didn't matter. The investigation will at most bring them under the new system, and most of the officials involved are lazy, corrupt, corrupt, and corrupt for personal gain. If these moths can be caught, the vitality of the Ming Dynasty will be reduced accordingly. some losses.
