Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 165 I want to abolish Zuoban!
Beijing.

It's already afternoon.

In an unknown remote city.

The group of people walked in a hurry, as if they had just received the news. Although they walked very fast, their eyes were full of joy.

at last.

Wait until you arrive at the back house and enter the small courtyard.

Qicai said in surprise:
"Mr. Yang, the news has come out. Not only has Su Guiyuan been sent to prison, but Su Xian has also left the main hall!"

As soon as these words came out.

Several people suddenly rushed out of the room. They first looked around and found that there was no movement from the guards everywhere.

Only then did he look at the person coming.

Instead, behind him, an old man walked out slowly.

These people were quite cautious, and even if the former said that, there was no movement.

The Third Division is responsible for open trials, and the pro-military Duwei Mansion is responsible for arrests and secret trials.

"The water flows slowly, and wealth is a trivial matter that can be achieved with eyes closed."

"Confirmed news?"

"Why are you so anxious?" The old farmer who was called Mr. Yang, but looked like an old farmer during the busy farming season said seriously: "As I said before, such good treasure money would not be wasted by buying those gadgets in the capital!"

"Yes!" Several people's faces became more and more happy and they left in a hurry.

However, the Holy One is in charge of everything, so how can it be said that it can be seen just by seeing it?

"Yan Xin, it's in vain that I deliberately suppressed you for more than half a year. You did a good job this time. It seems that there is nothing wrong with the printing plate."

"As for how to use the printing plates, I have my own calculations. You have to know how to spend the money, but you have to be careful... let all places take action."

Lin Yide, the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture, was sleeping with his wife in his arms at home when he was arrested by the Dali Temple officials overnight!
For a time, all officials in the capital were panicked.

"Wait a little longer!"

However, the former was unmoved.

He looked at the crowd and knew that they couldn't wait for a long time, so he said: "Don't be anxious, you are indispensable to follow me. As I said before, we will use real money no matter what in the capital."

"Just wait... I'm looking for a way."

It is not an aboveboard supervision by the government.

"And expensive... is what I want!"

"Now, let's not alert others in the capital. Don't miss our Ming Dynasty's treasure plan. The more deeply the treasure is embedded in people's hearts, the deeper we can hide it."

……

Su Xian's home has been "guarded".

On the day of Tujie, the imperial censor suddenly submitted a letter.

Ever since Su Xian came back and said that she didn't need to go to the main hall in the future, she seemed to be scared out of her mind and spent all day inquiring about news.

Wu Xiu became more and more panicked.

The new banknote case is affecting more and more people...

Those who had been close to Su Guiyuan before, especially during the minting of new banknotes, all the craftsmen sent by the Ministry of Industry, those sent by the Ministry of Household Affairs, and even those sent by the Ministry of Personnel to monitor were all arrested and interrogated.

Su Xian sat in the study, looking at the almost constant stream of news in front of him.

However, yesterday's court meeting was also the last day of the court meeting in the eleventh year of Hongwu.

But he kept shouting "I want to see the Holy Spirit" for most of the afternoon.

Even some people from the Salt Transport Envoy and Yushitai in the court were also affected.

Yan Xin breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.

Just saying.

After the third, fourth, and even seventh people came, he cheered up, suppressed his joy, and turned to look behind him.

"Now it's spreading all over the capital. I came here as soon as I heard the news. I'm afraid it won't be long before it spreads outside the capital."

"Mr. Yang, can we make a fortune now? I will summon the craftsmen immediately, and we will quietly..."

But since Su Xian came back from the palace, she has noticed several groups of figures walking around her home.

It’s New Year’s Eve in seven days!

However, this is just the beginning.

After a while, someone else came in a hurry and told the same news.

On the first day of interrogation by the Third Division, there were rumors outside that Su Guiyuan almost confessed everything in court.

These flames even burned into the "banks" of various noble houses.

On the contrary, the Third Division started the investigation from Chaojingyuan. Tian Xiu from the Minting Department, Tiju from the Issuance Department, and many people from the Money Transportation Department have all been implicated and were personally arrested and brought to justice by the pro-military Duwei Mansion.

Letter: The bank is the foundation of the country. How can we hand over the profits to private individuals? Please take back the power of the bank and return it to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

After that, people from the Ministry of Household Affairs should be sent to take over the management.

In addition, although the Chao Jing Yuan is involved in a major case, the trend of new money has been set off, and it must not collapse in this middle way. Therefore, a new envoy should be selected as soon as possible to take charge of the power.

After the last setback, Chao Jingyuan can no longer be controlled by one person. At least there should be another position specifically responsible for the supervision of the entire Chaojing Yuan.

Also, since it belongs to Zhongshu Province, it should be under the direct jurisdiction of Zhongshu Province. The left and right prime ministers all have the power to control how much money is printed every year and even the detailed rights and responsibilities of local banks.

A memorial, eloquent.

Most of the officials in the country agreed.

As for the candidates for the envoy of Chaojing Academy, they have also been announced. There are officials recommended by the Ministry of Household Affairs, as well as selected by the Ministry of Personnel. Even nobles and relatives are involved...

For a moment, the situation seemed to be really chaotic.

And in the end...

There is another thing that Su Xian is most concerned about.

The progress of the interrogation by the Third Division is very fast, and they have even made it clear that they have found evidence of Su Guiyuan's crime!

Just because the pro-military captain's office was blocking him, he flatly refused to admit it, but was unable to plead guilty and be imprisoned.

So please ask the Holy Spirit for special approval, and you can choose another day to convict him and have Su Guiyuan executed!
The Holy Spirit readily agreed.

But the twelfth year of Hongwu was approaching, and the Third Division was ordered to continue the investigation... The purpose: to find out where the missing printing plate was!
As for Su Guiyuan and others, they will be detained first, and they will be convicted one by one after the printing plates are traced in the beginning of the year.

at the same time……

The Shaoqing of Dali Temple wrote again:
The matter of the new banknotes not only involves the capital, but also involves outside the capital. There are clues in salt production, ironware, and even official affairs in eastern Zhejiang and Jiangxi.

Even... traced all the way from the bank to Shaanxi, Shanxi... and even Peiping!
As soon as this news came out, the atmosphere of the entire court meeting was said to be a bit colder than the cold winter in the twelfth lunar month!
Su Xian saw in the letter...

The emperor became silent at that time, and the depressing atmosphere made the court meeting suddenly become like "officials held their breath and could hear the needle drop!"

Chen Ning, the imperial censor, finally wrote again:
Let the two princes investigate themselves, and at the same time, the chief envoys of each province immediately investigate the bank, and once again say: it belongs to the Ministry of Household Affairs!
At the end, he shouted: Since the King of Yan is about to vassal, it is better to vassal early and be responsible for the investigation! At the same time, Wei Guogong has been in Peiping for many years. Now his health is deteriorating and it is time to return to Beijing.

Finished talking.

The atmosphere was quiet again.

Then, before going to court, Zhu Yuanzhang personally approved...

quasi!
……

Finished reading.

Su Xian felt the various emotions between the lines, and could almost feel that an increasingly fierce storm was brewing.

even……

Thirteen years before Hongwu, it took shape early, and now it has begun to wreak havoc everywhere.

As the man behind the scenes, Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be interested in speeding up the matter even faster than Su Xian imagined.

Hu Weiyong's momentum in the DPRK became increasingly high.

As for Yushi Tujie, he once again made great achievements in this interrogation... If the case is confirmed, he can even rise to the official position and become Yushi Zhongcheng!
He is also working harder.

"It's... quiet."

Su Xian put down some letters in his hand. To know these things, in addition to the turmoil within the dynasty, there are also some special thoughts of Zhu Yuanzhang.

Others can't get it.

The only thing Su Xian can be sure of now is that it will be bitter first and then sweet.

Historical records record: In the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the case of Hu Weiyong occurred!

From then on, it spread until the 23rd year of Hongwu. Six of the founding princes were involved, and even Li Shanchang, who was known as the "head of all princes", was involved, and it was almost over...half!
That's right, half of it.

In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, starting with Jingning Hou Ye Sheng, the aftermath of the Hu Weiyong case once again aroused. In addition, Prince Zhu Biao went to Xi'an at this time to inspect the capital move.

But I don’t want to die on the way back to Beijing...

This set off another major case!
Such a long time, not to mention the death of Zhu Xiongying and Queen Ma in the fifteenth year of Hongwu.

It's getting crazier!
In the middle of the Lan Yu case, there is another major corruption case that has once again swept the country and even the central government.

It can be said that this Hongwu Emperor, who once had a "warm smile" in the main hall, has never let go of the butcher's knife since the Hu Weiyong case.

He kept cutting until the end of the long second half of his life...

And just right.

Changes have already begun.

"The next step... is to let father leave for now."

Su Xian looked through the letter again and was about to get up when he realized there was nothing.

Suddenly, a letter flew in through the window again.

From this, there is another sentence, "Think of a way to answer."

Su Xian opened it and took a look.

There is only one sentence in it.

[Di Nu: What is the difference between this new banknote and the counterfeit banknote? 】

Su Xian was stunned, haven't you found it yet?
He simply stood up, put the letter in his arms, and walked straight out the door.

My mother, Wu Xiu, walked out of the inner courtyard early, as she had always done during this period.

Saw Su Xian coming out.

She wanted to ask, but she didn't.

Su Xian asked Liu Er and Liu San to follow Su Xian, and then said: "I'll go out for a while."

……

at the same time.

Inside the palace.

During this time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that he had really made his grandson anxious.

It's been so long.

His grandson still looked at him with some resentment.

Today, he asked Queen Ma to go to the East Palace in person and capture her grandson, so that the two men could meet each other.

"Humph!"

Zhu Xiongying snorted coldly when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time.

For the first time, Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless at a loss, but he had no choice. His grandson was in a hurry and he had to coax him.

He was about to speak, but unexpectedly his grandson ran behind the queen. He didn't even look at him. Instead, he muttered there by himself.

Zhu Yuanzhang was curious.

But seeing that Queen Ma seemed to know something, she spoke first:
"Your grandson is also busy with big things."

"What's the big deal?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked subconsciously.

"What else could it be?" Empress Ma said speechlessly: "Although Xiongying couldn't understand most of what Su Xian said last time, things about the Gewuyuan became quite clear."

"He seems to have remembered Su Xian's annoyance at leaving the main hall for another matter. Ask your grandson..."

After saying this, Queen Ma stepped aside.

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more curious.

The next moment, Zhu Xiongying couldn't bear it anymore and looked directly at Zhu Yuanzhang.

The first sentence made him freeze on the spot, and he felt like thunder was flashing in his mind, making him buzz!
"I want to abolish Zuoban!"
