My Ming Dynasty, I have the final say

Chapter 243 Wu Liangsi’s progress

"Wu Liangsi's policy theory is well written."

Holding a memorial in his hand and resting his feet on Long's desk, Zhu Youxiao had a smile on his lips.

If he remembered correctly, in the third year of Tianqi's Beijing inspection, Zhao Nanxing was mentioned in the Four Evils theory, which refers to the leaders of the three parties of Qi, Chu, and Zhejiang, Qi Shijiao, Zhao Xingbang, Guan Yingzhen, and Wu Liangsi.

"Officials should be promoted to official positions, Qi Shijiao is a disciple of Fang Congzhe, and Zhao Xingbang has not been recalled."

Among the others, Yao Zongwen, Liu Guojin and others were deposed because they were involved in going to Nanhaizi to invite the emperor to return to Beijing.

With the now weak Three Party forces in the court appearing in his mind, Zhu Youxiao thought about the meaning expressed in Wu Liangsi's memorial at this time.

"As Liu Yishen and Zhang Wenda were sent away, they saw me cleaning up Donglin and came together."

After a long while, a sneer appeared on the corner of Zhu Youxiao's mouth.

But it's okay, just to see if Wu Liangsi can use it.

"Send this memorial back and ask Wu Liangsi to go to the Ministry of Civil Affairs to find Zhou Yingqiu and write another memorial to me, explaining clearly what the Sixth Section and the Yushitai should do, as soon as possible."

"The slaves obey the order."

After hearing the emperor's words, Liu Shimin quickly agreed and walked out with Wu Liangsi's memorial.

He had also read Wu Liangsi's memorial. This person focused his petition on the emperor's repeated emphasis on adhering to one's duties, and clearly stated that the workload for the six subjects should be set.

Not long after Liu Shimin left, a young eunuch came in to report.

"Your Majesty, Wei Zhongxian would like to see you."

"Let him in."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao turned his head and glanced, waving.

"My slave, I respectfully send you greetings."

Bowing his body, he walked quickly to the emperor's side, and Wei Zhongxian knelt down.

"How many times have I told you, don't kneel down?"

"My slave, thank you, Your Majesty."

After hearing the emperor's words, Wei Zhongxian thanked him.

Did he really forget this sentence?

No, he was just being submissive.

The time he spent with the emperor was almost as old as the emperor.

After Wang An and Wei Chao died, he was the person closest to the emperor.

Logically speaking, this Supervisor of Ceremonies should be his.

But in the end, Liu Shimin, who was usually unable to give a shit in the Chief of Ceremonies, took the position of the Chief Eunuch of the Chief of Ceremonies and became the ancestor of the palace.

But he only fell behind. He became the admiral of Dongchang and became the second ancestor.

Of course, this is not the most important thing.

The promotion and demotion of eunuchs depended entirely on the emperor's holy family, and they always had to maintain a sense of presence in front of the emperor.

Just like Wang Zhi, who was the admiral of Dongchang, founded Shangzhang, and supervised the army to sweep holes in Liting, Liaodong, how beautiful and majestic he was.

But in the end, just because he worked outside for a long time, he lost the favor of the Holy Family and was teased.

"Your Majesty, this is the list sent by the palace supervisors to various places. Your Majesty, please take a look at it."

He took out a memorial from his sleeve and handed it to the emperor.

"Ah."

Putting down the pen in his hand, Zhu Youxiao took the memorial from Wei Zhongxian's hand and read it.

The conditions for sending officials from the inner court to other places are divided into four categories.

The first category is the garrison eunuchs of the two capitals and thirteen provinces, dispatched by the Secretary of Ceremony.

The second category is the eunuchs who are sent to the army to supervise the army. They are sent by Yuma Jian, that is, Dongchang.

The third category is the people who were sent the most during the Wanli period, such as the mines, salt offices, shipping departments, and shipyards, and are called tax supervisors.

The fourth category is the supervisory eunuchs sent to various princes' palaces.

The first three categories are mostly filled by cronies of the palace supervisors. After all, they are all fat men.

As for the fourth category, they are usually the losers of intra-uterine struggles and are sent to various princes' palaces for retirement.

"Where is Dongchang in Jinyiwei? For example, Luo Sigong, Xu Xianchun and other high-ranking officials."

"Back to your lord, yes."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian nodded quickly.

"Every high-ranking Jinyiwei official will have one or two spies who will report their affairs to us."

"Ah."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao nodded.

The original responsibility of Dongchang was to supervise Jinyiwei. It seems that Wanli has neglected his administration in recent years, but he did not dare to let Dongchang relax his supervision of Jinyiwei.

"In the supervision of these people, some things can be tolerated, and some things cannot be tolerated. You must be sure." "I understand."

Looking at the emperor's face, Wei Zhongxian hesitated for a moment, and then said.

"In recent days, there are always people who want to contact the prisoners who are in the Nanhaizi labor camp. I have arrested a lot of people and I don't know how to deal with them."

"connection?"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Wei Zhongxian and waved.

"Just watch and deal with it, don't take human life lightly."

"Yes."

Hearing this, Wei Zhongxian breathed a sigh of relief and then arrived.

"Since these people like to go to construction sites so much, I will let them work in Nanhaizi."

I learned this from the emperor. If you like it, you can do it to death for me.

"Ah."

After clicking again, Zhu Youxiao picked up another memorial from the table.

"In addition, several brick factories that provided blue bricks to Nanhaizi used low-quality green bricks and passed them off as good ones. The slaves had their homes confiscated and the brick factories were handed over to the Ministry of Internal Affairs for management."

"Well done."

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao raised his eyebrows, praised him, and turned around to praise.

This old Wei's ability and loyalty are still acceptable.

After dealing with the person, don't forget to report to him.

"Nanhaizi, I will be of great use in the future, so you have to keep an eye on it. If something shoddy happens again, just do it the way you are doing now."

"But you must also remember that if a person is not trustworthy, he will not be established. For those who really serve the court and me, don't be stingy with rewards, let alone focus on other people's wealth and charge them with crimes."

"The servant understands."

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, he immediately nodded in agreement.

"My servants must not dare to ruin the reputation of the emperor."

"Ah."

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's assurance, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and asked him to leave.

Carefully getting up from the ground, Wei Zhongxian bowed his body and walked out of the imperial study.

Standing outside the door, reaching out to wipe the sweat from his face, Wei Zhongxian took a breath.

The emperor still trusted him.

Otherwise, he would have to wonder if he would lose the Holy Family as he has been supervising the work in Nanhaizi.

"We still need to contact Yang Dajuan and Wang Dajuan again."

Standing at the door of the Great Guangming Palace, Wei Zhongxian glanced at the sun in the sky, and then headed towards the Nei Cai Palace.

He is in charge of one of the four offices in the palace, namely, the ceremonial department, the internal affairs department, the internal finance department, and the inspection department.

Among the other three people, Liu Shimin, the superintendent of rites, was born in a military household, and his family had a hereditary Yanqing Guard commander. He was considered to be from a wealthy family, and it was impossible to talk to him in a pot.

Wang Mo of the Ministry of Internal Affairs is a silent and reserved person who rarely interacts with other people.

Only Yang Chengxiu, the financial eunuch of the Internal Finance Office who came from a businessman's family, could chat with the street kid Wei Zhongxian.

The two of them can be regarded as allies of interest in the palace.

After delivering the memorial, naturally a young eunuch told Liu Shimin the news about Wei Zhongxian.

After listening to the report, Liu Shimin just smiled, rewarded the young eunuch with a silver cent, and said nothing more.

As a person, he is, in one word, stable.

After getting the emperor's approval of his memorial, Wu Liangsi was instantly inspired.

After personally going to the Ministry of Personnel to consult with Zhou Yingqiu, in less than half a day, the code of conduct of the Sixth Section and the Metropolitan Procuratorate was sent to the cabinet.

Afterwards, Wu Liangsi got an official position - Zuo Jiandu Censor.

As soon as this edict was issued, the officials in the capital instantly became energetic.

This is a useful statement.

In contrast, Han Xu's hair has turned three points grayer.

He is the assistant minister, Bi Ziyan is the chief assistant, and the voting rights are now in Bi Ziyan's hands.

Wu Liangsi was transferred to Zuo Jiandu as censor. He could already see that there would definitely be another round of suppression of Donglin in the court.

Looking sideways at Bi Ziyan who was drafting a memorial above, Han Xu shook his head helplessly.

Bi Ziyuan was so strong that he often contradicted him verbally.
