I am the king of the dead

"If they see it, they will all suffer!"

"useless."

Wan Guan nodded and said, "Yes, His Majesty too. He made a mansion law, and put vicious dogs in the mansion, so that Tiqi would stare at us like a thief every day."

"The king regards his ministers like dirt, and the ministers regard the king as an enemy. Don't talk about state affairs. Come and drink."

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of dishes, the atmosphere is in full swing.

Li Binyan saw the head of the willow on the moon, but he stood up and said: "Everyone, Li is too strong to drink, so he will stay soon. Everyone, drink slowly and play slowly."

He stood up, as if his feet were a little unsteady, he pleaded guilty, went down the stairs crookedly, and reached the downstairs of Cuiwei Building, it was already curfew time.

Except for the watchman, there was no one on the street.

Li Binyan stood up straight, took a deep breath and said, "Tiqi, they are all upstairs, let's take them together, Li has already asked for an order."

Tianzi Tiqi with a visor came out of the shadows, and more Tiqi in flying fish suits appeared on the street.

Tiqi, who was wearing a visor, nodded and signaled all the Jin Yiwei to go upstairs to fetch people.

After a while of flying around, the Tiqis escorted a personal prisoner to the small courtyard of Cuiwei Building.

Li Binyan made a check, and said with a frown: "The Right Counselor Zhao Quan is not here, and Tiqi worked hard. He must have drunk too much and fell into some grass nest."

Li Binyan was quite familiar with the drinking capacity of this group of guys. This Right Counselor, Zhao Quan, just doesn't have much drinking capacity, and he likes to drink.

Everyone who drank today was shot, and only Li Binyan stood alone, and he also counted the number of people.

To be able to get to the point where the chief secretary and the left and right councilors are all human beings, they immediately understood that today was Li Binyan's game.

Who would have thought that the admonishers, who have always regarded themselves as clean streams, would get mixed up with Jin Yiwei, an eagle dog of the imperial court?

Moreover, Li Binyan's acting skills were too much like a greedy imperial censor after a long drought, he deceived them all!

Wan Guan stared at Li Binyan viciously, spat viciously and said, "Li Binyan! You will die badly."

Li Binyan didn't care much about it, there would be a big change in the official circles in Shandong, but there were 12 people here, and all of them had to be escorted to Beijing.

What Li Binyan was thinking about was how to complete the tasks assigned by His Majesty, and straighten out Shandong's procuratorate.

However, the situation in Shandong is extremely rotten. If the chief secretary is not removed together, I am afraid that it will not be possible to rectify the inspection department alone.

So Li Binyan continued to use his image as a corrupt official to get along with them and learn things that he would never have known in the past.

Close the net today, catch all in one go!

Li Binyan looked at Wan Guan and said, "If you have anything to say, go to the capital and tell your Majesty."

"Qianhu, Zhao Quan, the counselor on the right, has been found." The two Tiqi dragged a drunk Zhao Quan, and pulled him over. It was obvious that Zhao Quan hadn't woken up from the wine yet, and was slumbering in a daze.

Li Binyan said with a smile: "I would like to trouble Tiqi to escort 12 criminals to Beijing."

Tianzi Tiqi didn't say a word, the officials transferred from Henan, Nanzhili, and Shanxi have already arrived at the post station, and they can take up their posts tomorrow.

These officials have been checked and repaired repeatedly, and they are all worms of Daming!

Tomorrow, the officials in Shandong, when they look up, have already changed the sky.

Li Binyan still wants to stay in Shandong, continue to rectify the affairs of the inspector, and will not go back to Beijing with the Tiqi. This is the most dangerous time for Li Binyan.

Tianzi Tiqi suddenly said, "Treasure."

The voice came through the thick visor, the voice was extremely chaotic, even a little indistinct, but Li Binyan still understood those two words.

"Treasure." Li Bin said these two words heavily, and watched Tiqi's convoy leave.

A group of people are waiting to be escorted to Beijing, waiting to be checked and repaired.

Zhu Qiyu received the memorial from Tiqi and Li Binyan, and exhaled forcefully.

The matter of privately setting up a city shipping department in Mizhou, Shandong has been thoroughly investigated.

The masters behind the scenes were indeed Wang Zhenqing, the second son of Prince Consort Wang Ning, and Zhao Hui, the prince's son-in-law, and the Caowen Zhang family.

That Zhang Qiyi who bribed with money was also dragged into the capital.

The major case of Jingtai in the second year is now very clear.

What surprised Zhu Qiyu was that Sun Zhong's family, who were in Shandong this time, did not participate in this incident, which made him quite regretful.

What a lucrative business!

He also said that it was a one-pot stew, and Sun Zhong and Sun Jizong escaped another catastrophe.

"It's not easy to manage this privately-established shipping company in Mizhou." Zhu Qiyu patted the books and said with emotion.

This city shipping department is a well-known secret in Shandong. It operates cargo ships without survey and cooperation. There are several directions for the surplus of this city shipping department.

The first place to go is to pay taxes. If you want to keep your mouth shut up and down in Shandong, you have to take care of everything inside and out. , to offset the tax.

The second destination is the officials. Zhang Qiyi, the Zhang family of Caowen, who brought money to manage the money, is the person who manages everywhere. When necessary, they will go to Beijing to manage the ups and downs to deceive the upper and lower.

The third place to go is Prince Consort Wang Ning's second son Wang Zhenqing and Prince Consort Zhao Hui. They don't take matters seriously, but they can take the interest at all.

They are in charge of normal affairs.

Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the Internal Transport Depot, made some calculations and found that nearly 20 taels of silver flowed into the hands of Wang Zhenqing and Zhao Hui every year.

20 taels, not much?

The imperial court converted more than 300 million shimi into grain a year, only more than 130 million taels of silver!

Xing'an bowed his head and said, "This Mizhou Shipbuilding Department has been open for more than ten years, but it was closed rashly. How can the local people and workshops gather because of the sea trade?"

"I'm stupid, but at this moment, thousands of households are involved, so I just speak nonsense."

Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "I didn't say I would shut it down."

Xing'an fell into confusion.

No, why check it?

Chapter 238 Daming has only one master

Prince Consort Wang Ning began to build ships and go to sea privately during the Yongle period, without surveying and cooperating with sea trade, and then formed a small market in Mizhou, Shandong, and gradually evolved into the actual Mizhou Shipping Department.

Zhu Qiyu didn't plan to close it, but closed it, because of the people gathered by Haimao, what should we do?

This is not a small number. In one county of Mizhou alone, more than 10 people have gathered to make a living.

Mizhou Shipbuilding Department is not closed, yes, but no taxation, no supervision, no.

"Since the Mizhou Shipping Department is an established fact and there is a need for it to exist, let's transfer it to the government. Don't worry about it, and don't try to make money on your belt." Zhu Qiyu picked up the file of the Mizhou Shipping Department and left. Lecture Hall.

In the early morning of the next day, the capital was awakened by the gusts of spring breeze. Four hundred drums were heard rumbling in the capital. The entire capital.

The gate of the capital of the Ming Dynasty slowly opened, and the city of the capital woke up from sleep.

Zhu Qiyu also came to Fengtian Hall to prepare for the court meeting. Although he didn't make a big news when he worshiped the ancestors in the Taimiao, he planned to try it today.

"See Your Majesty, is Your Majesty blessed?" All the ministers bowed their heads in salute.

Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and said, "I'm at peace."

"Xing'an, declare the decree."

Xing'an swung the whisk in his hand to his back, hung the whisk on his shoulder, opened the long imperial edict, and shouted in frustration: "The Prince Consort Wang Ning's second son Wang Zhenqing, and the Prince Consort Zhao Hui are lawless and disregard Maritime bans, sailing privately and privately setting up a city shipping department, without rules and regulations, deceiving the king, corrupting the law, lenient again and again, and never changing."

"Exile all the family members of the deceased family to Yongning Temple for treason, hereby."

"The auspicious officer Zhao Jin from Shandong's procuratorate, Wan Guan from the Zuo Buzheng of Shandong Chief Political Department, Liu Huan from the left counselor, and Zhao Quan from the right counsellor, corrupted the law with corruption, compared themselves to traitors, harmed the country and the people, and recruited power Taking bribes, even if you are a slave, is an unforgivable crime."

"Beheaded according to the law to show all family members, all family members, exiled to Yongning Temple, hereby."

Xing'an read out two imperial decrees, one was Zhao Hui and Wang Zhenqing, the captain-in-law, and Ouyang Lun, the captain-in-law, was accused of treason.

The other is 12 Shandong officials, all beheaded for public display.

Although there were not many spies in Lu Zicai's imperial hospital, and he was looking forward to new medical observation subjects, Zhu Qiyu still did not send these people to the imperial hospital.

Their crimes have not yet reached the point where they need to be put to death.

Xing'an picked up a volume of imperial decree again, and after he opened it, he continued to say loudly: "I will set up the Shibo to raise the judiciary, and pay tribute to the masters. The old system should be paid to the tribute, and the talisman book will be given first. The three divisions and Hefu will send it to Beijing from Tianjin, assuming that the inscriptions and objects are authentic."

"Today, for the convenience of paying tribute and doing business, we have specially set up a department for the promotion of Mizhou. The admiral Shibo eunuch Qi Xin went to Mizhou, and set up one person for promotion, from the fifth rank, and two deputy promotions, from the sixth rank. "

This decree is extremely brief.

Two things, the first thing is that the Mizhou Judiciary was transferred from the private to the government, and the provincial eunuch Qi Xin went to the admiral, and the second thing was that the tribute and trade were mixed up.

This is what Zhu Qiyu wrote on purpose.

The maritime trade of the Ming Dynasty is nothing more than two matters of tribute ships and merchant ships.

The tribute ship is allowed by the king's law, and it is in charge of the tribute ship, and the public of the trade is also for paying tribute;

Maritime business is forbidden by the king's law, and it is not in charge of tribute ships. The private trade is also for commerce.

Daming's long-term adherence to the sea ban strategy has led to Daming's lax management of maritime trade, especially private maritime trade.

The rapid expansion of private sea trade has not been brought into the management scope of the Shibo Department for more than 200 years. It was not until Longqing opened and established a Shibo Department for private sea trade in Yuegang, Zhangzhou. Tribute and trade were brought into the management scope of the dynasty.

However, the Longqing switch lasted for 17 years, Zhang Juzheng died, and the government died down. Instead, Yuegang became a place where filth was hidden and people made a fortune together.

Zhu Qiyu's decree is very short, but the matter is very big.

Zhu Qiyu is restoring the establishment of the promotion department and promoting the eunuch of Shibo.

Comparing the tribute ship with the merchant ship, the meaning of intending to bring private maritime trade under the jurisdiction has been clearly revealed.

After Xing'an finished reading the memorabilia, he took two steps back. The Fengtian Hall was completely quiet, even a needle could be heard on the ground.

A gust of spring breeze blew past, blowing the heavy curtains by the window, making a hula-la-la sound.

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Why, isn't it good to talk on weekdays? Why don't you talk now?"

Zhu Qiyu tried to open the sea ban.

An old minister stood up tremblingly, and said loudly: "Cai Yuji has a book to play."

Zhu Qiyu looked at the old minister, nodded and said, "Speak!"

Cai Yuji bowed his head and said: "I am ashamed of my mediocrity. I am ashamed of my sage's grace. My body is broken and my bones are not enough to repay the trickle. I am vigilant all day and night, and I sleep and eat happily. Fortunately, I look up to the virtue of my sage, and my colleagues in heaven and earth are full of grace. ..."

"Let's get down to business." Zhu Qiyu signaled him not to read the scriptures.

Zhu Qiyu interrupted Cai Yuji's spellcasting.

The new dynasty and the new atmosphere, there is something to talk about, come up and put on a row of high hats, and talk a bunch of nonsense that listening to what you say is better than talking about it.

Zhu Qiyu didn't like Chen Xun's tone very much.

Cai Yuji hesitated for a while, and continued: "I used to be the Guangzhou inspector, and the Guangzhou shipping department. In August of the first year of Yongle, Qi Xiqin, an internal official, was established by Emperor Taizong Wen's imperial decree."

"At that time, 47 rich households of the people and 37 wealthy households of the military were employed by the Guangzhou Shipping Department. .”

"Although things such as fish maw and tea silk are produced in Zhaoqing and Guangzhou, the people are hard-pressed. The eunuch of the Shibo Department sent people to supervise and disturb the place, and the chickens and dogs are not safe."

"My great ancestor, Emperor Gao, has learned a lot from the mistakes of the previous generation in appointing eunuchs!"

"Although there is one supervisor in the supervisory bureau, there are only five permanent posts, and there are only two chief and deputy officers in the first bureau. The officials are no more than four ranks, and they are not in charge of the matter of offering sacrifices. They have not interfered with the government of the court."

"In recent years, in the Internal Affairs Bureau, there are more than ten eunuchs in each prison, and countless below the junior prison."

"Python clothes and jade belts are regarded as ordinary clothes, and the reputation and status are indiscriminate, so why not!"

"However, people on the king's side are feared by everyone, and they rely on their power to do harm to others."

"Destroying the general structure of the imperial court, depriving a hundred lives of food and clothing, even citing treacherous evil, rejecting righteous officials, obstructing people's words, and evil ways harming government, such as Wang Zhen, Xining and others, even if a hundred deaths are not enough to thank heaven and earth!"

"Nowadays, there are many ministers who are sent to the various chief ministers. There are eunuchs everywhere in the places where the towns and towns are in the four directions, and where the city and ships are profitable."

"Fuwang Shengming regards his ancestors as his heart and the eternity as his mind. When things happen, he will be cautious and cautious. He will take everything back to avoid harming others. In the future, he will stop begging every year, and his subjects will be very lucky."

The starting point of Cai Yuji's opposition to the decree was the eunuchs.

He quoted the law of the ancestors of the Ming Dynasty that eunuchs were not allowed to interfere in politics, and expressed his opposition to the promotion of Shibo eunuchs.

The examples he gave were the eunuchs Wang Zhen and Xining.

Zhu Qiyu sneered, it seemed reasonable and well-founded, but he was just trying to fish in troubled waters.

"Cai Yushi, my official ship and sea trade in Ming Dynasty has been closed for 16 years. Are the chickens and dogs in Guangzhou and Zhaoqing's houses safe?" Zhu Qiyu asked a question.

Cai Yuji bowed his head in a daze and said, "It's not safe."
