I am the king of the dead

Chapter 592

"I'll admit it if I scold others, but he actually scolds me for not being diligent enough. Who is this Wang Qi?" Zhu Qiyu said angrily as he threw the memorial in his hand.

Zhu Qiyu is scolded every day, and he is more or less used to being scolded. The notoriety of the king of subjugation is sweet, but today, he was suddenly scolded for not being diligent enough.

Yu Shaobao was the first to disagree, and Yu Shaobao was always worried that His Majesty was obsessed with government affairs all day long, and he might be bored in the future.

Xing'an looked at the last signature and bowed his head, saying: "Wang Qi is a concubine of the Hanlin Academy, a Jinshi in the fifth year of Jingtai, and the eleventh in the second class."

"I have also read this memorial. I think what he said is in line with his status. He has just entered the officialdom and is still young. What he says seems reasonable, but it is actually of no use and value."

Zhu Qiyu opened the memorial in his hand, picked up the ink pen, and asked suspiciously: "Then what are you using it for?"

In Wang Qi's Memorial, the reason for Zhu Qiyu's negligence in politics is: the early Ming Dynasty.

In the memorandum, Wang Qi lamented his interests and scolded Zhu Qiyu for not being diligent enough. The reason was that the current morning dynasty in Ming Dynasty was not permanent, and it was once every five days. The emperor neglected government affairs and was addicted to strange skills.

During the Hongwu period, the Ming courts were divided into morning courts, afternoon courts, and evening courts. The evening courts were generally not held.

Zhu Qiyu sighed that the diligence of Emperor Gao, the great ancestor of the Ming Dynasty, was not as good as it was, but Zhu Yuanzhang's diligence was largely due to the fact that the country was established at the beginning and there were many things. This is one aspect, and the immature political system is the second aspect.

During the 80 years of development, the status of Wenyuan Pavilion has gradually increased, and the system of cabinet vote drafting, ceremonial supervisor approval, court meeting, and ministerial meeting system has gradually been improved.

Especially in the early years of Zhengtong, the emperor Youchong, this dynasty will become even more dispensable.

It is true that Zhu Qiyu did not restore the daily morning court, let alone set up a noon and evening court, but he was on duty in the lecture hall every day, took classes in the lecture hall, and went to the Beijing camp to practice military horses every day. Although the value of force was still not good, But at least Zhu Qiyu's force can also serve as a unit of measurement.

He would go to Shijing Factory every seven days, and every ten days, he would go to Chaoyangmen, and occasionally meet Liu Qi.

Zhu Qiyu approved Wang Qi's memorandum, but he didn't say any bad words, and only wrote three words: [Got it].

Xing'an bowed his head and said: "Your Majesty has to read both good and bad words to make a decision. The Supervisor of Rituals and Wenyuan Pavilion have high positions and powers. How many eyes are staring at them. No one can suppress the memorial by themselves. This is the rule."

Xing'an and Wang Wen are Zhu Qiyu's confidantes. If there is a problem in these two places, Zhu Qiyu will be bound by himself and trapped in the information cocoon.

Zhu Qiyu picked up another memorial book and sat up straight suddenly.

According to the memorandum of Cai Yuji, the censor of the capital, Xu Siqi, the general manager of Shijing Factory, was impeached for corruption and perverting the law. During his tenure as the general manager of Shijing Factory, he was involved in corruption.

"No way, old Xu Zhen is very familiar with him. He is not such a person. Is this Cai Yuji making a false accusation?" Zhu Qiyu carefully read the contents of the memorial.

Xu Siqi was sued by several craftsmen from Shijing Factory to Shuntian Mansion. The Governor of Shuntian Mansion handed over the lawsuit to the Ministry of Punishment.

Lin Xiu, the eunuch of the inner treasury, even invited Xing'an, the governor of the East Factory, to send many inspectors from the inner court.

The names of Yu Shiyue, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, Shi Pu, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Hu, a doctor of Jixing Province, Lin Xiu, the eunuch of internal funds, Xing'an, the eunuch of the Ministry of Rites, and Lu Zhong, the left governor of Jinyiwei, are all signed on the memorial.

It is true that Xu Siqi was able to enter and leave the Tai'an Palace because of the favor he received from the emperor, and he could even face the saint every seven days. In the past few years, his appearance has changed.

During the six years, Xu Siqi sent about thirty of his relatives to the Shijing Factory to take up important positions in various departments, and then used these relatives to almost turn the Shijing Factory into the Xu family's private property.

The Coal Wells Division had several mine accidents, Xu Siqi deliberately concealed it without knowing it, the roads of the Driving Division were hardened and cut corners, the Gunpowder Division’s gunpowder was secretly sold, and the quality of farm tools sent to various farms was uneven, shoddy.

During Xu Siqi's tenure as the general manager of Shijing Factory, he embezzled a total of 21 silver coins, accepted bribes from merchants, and entered seven houses and thirteen properties.

Every crime has witnesses, physical evidence, and documentary evidence, all signed by Lu Zhong, Xing'an, Yu Shiyue and others.

"When did you start investigating Xu Siqi?" Zhu Qiyu closed the memorial and asked with a serious face.

Xing'an said cautiously: "In January last year, the roots were intertwined, and the brokers and compradors held it on behalf of them. I checked for one year and four months."

"Why didn't you report it? Are you worried about my favoritism? Xu Siqi and I did meet in Wang Gongchang. At that time, I was still King Tan, but if these moths stay in the head office for one more day, they will harm Daming!" Although Zhu Qiyu's tone was calm, Xing'an could hear His Majesty's anger.

Xing'an is this concern.

Xu Siqi should be counted as a person in the hidden mansion. When Zhu Qiyu was forging iron at Wang Gong's factory, and when the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil, Xu Siqi had already followed His Majesty to turn over the sand.

If there is no truth in the investigation, it is a false accusation.

"This is a big matter, I dare not speak in vain." Xing'an bowed his head and said.

"Take it." Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and approved the memorial, and said that since it was in front of him, this matter is [-]% certain.

Zhu Qiyu put down the vermilion pen and felt a little dizzy. This sense of departure gave him a certain degree of understanding of the words "lonely family and widowed person" for the first time.

He leaned on the soft rattan chair, looked at the roof of the imperial study, and asked in a daze: "Xing'an, every time Xu Siqi comes, you have seen it. This man has always been simple, why is he greedy for so much money?"

"I don't understand."

Xing'an sighed, and explained the reason: "Xu Siqi has two children, one is not his own, and the only one is a gambler. How can Lao Xu's salary of a great craftsman be enough for his own son to gamble?" ?”

"This wrong step, wrong step, it became what it is now."

Zhu Qiyu asked strangely: "Isn't it your own?"

"Your Majesty doesn't know something." Xing'an hesitated to speak, a little hard to say, after all, this is a suffering in the world, and it is not uncommon for His Majesty, who is ninety-five years old, not to know.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xing'an and said: "If you know everything, just say it."

"Yes." Xing'an thought for a while before saying: "This Xu Siqi's first child, although surnamed Xu, is not his biological son."

"In the early years, Xu Siqi was a blacksmith, so he married his regular wife, Mrs. Liu, but this Mrs. Liu's heart is higher than the sky. The young lady is a servant girl, and she has not been pregnant for a long time. This Mrs. Liu was sent to the club."

"The club?" Zhu Qiyu frowned.

What the hell is this?

Xing'an said in a low voice: "The folks have been married for three years and have no heirs. This woman will be tied up and sent to the open space outside Biyun Temple. This bachelor who can't marry a wife will wait there every night, waiting to be delivered. The childless daughter of a child, do the things of life."

"The woman was sent three times. If she became pregnant, then there was something wrong with the man. If she gave birth to a child, she would be raised as her own. If not, the husband's family would divorce her."

It was the first time Zhu Qiyu heard of this kind of folk suffering, he stared at Xing'an dumbfounded and said: "Go on."

Xing'an handed over a memorial and said, "Xu Siqi's first child is born in this way."

"In the third year of Zhengtong, Xu Siqi's official wife, Mrs. Liu, ran away. Xu Siqi married a second wife and became pregnant. Two boys and one girl were born. One son died young, and the other was addicted to gambling. .”

It was only after reading it that Zhu Qiyu understood the details.

This Xu Siqi's first wife, Liu Shi, was a servant girl of Duke Cheng's mansion. Maids of Duke Cheng's mansion are not slaves. To send out to choose someone for marriage.

This Mrs. Liu is full of love for Zhu Yi, the eldest son of the Duke of Cheng's mansion, and she is like a drowning man catching straw. She takes care of Zhu Yi meticulously, and is afraid of any mistakes, but this Zhu Yi even No one knows what Liu's surname is.

After this Mrs. Liu was sent to marry from Duke Cheng's mansion, she was still full of thoughts that she was Zhu Yi, she was more stylish than the ladies of the family, she was superior in every way, such a woman married home, it was a confession.

Mrs. Liu was such a coward, and finally was sent to the Bangchui Club and became pregnant with a child. Xu Siqi was dull and honest, and she was ashamed to say such things. Later, Mrs. Liu couldn't stand the humiliation, so she ran away with a man.

Xu Siqi found a stepmother, it was just an ordinary family, so it was natural for her to have her own child.

One of the sons died young, and the other spoiled the child in every possible way, spoiling the child, addicted to gambling like his life.

"I remember that Xu Siqi has a miracle card, right?" Zhu Qiyu sat up straight and asked.

Xing'an hurriedly said: "Yes, in the second year of Jingtai, the iron and steel department decided to change its merits, and for the merits of safe production and decision-making, it awarded one medal of extraordinary merit. One card and eight head cards."

Zhu Qiyu hesitated for a moment and said: "All of Xu Siqi's corrupt items will be confiscated and put into storage. As for Xu Siqi himself, let's send him to Liaodong to build a new official factory."

"Liaodong is bitterly cold, coal and iron are top-grade, let Lao Xu do some good things, don't embarrass me."

"Announce Xu Siqi, I will see him."

Xu Siqi was accused of many crimes, but the main one was corruption. With his outstanding achievements, Zhu Qiyu certainly would not punish Xu Siqi to death.

This is the basic logic of merit cards.

Just like the Eight Disciplines and Eight Disciplines System that still existed in Ming Dynasty, the Eight Disciplines and Eight Disciplines are honorable and high-ranking officials, which naturally include a part of judicial privileges. If Zhu Qiyu's meritorious service card does not have judicial privileges, who would fight for it?
As long as the bureaucratic system exists, this privilege must exist. Unless Zhu Qiyu abandons the bureaucratic system, the judicial privilege of the merit card cannot be cancelled.

Zhu Qiyu said angrily: "Where did Lao Xu's wife, Mrs. Liu, go? She was caught and punished according to the laws of the Great Ming Dynasty. Her own eyes are higher than the top, so she shouldn't marry. What kind of skill is bullying honest people!"

Zhu Qiyu didn't know what to say about this kind of worshiping a noble girl. The starting point of all these tragedies was that Xu Siqi married a maid from Cheng Guogong's mansion.

Xing'an hurriedly said: "This Mrs. Liu is dead."

"After Liu and the man surnamed Chen eloped, more than a month later, the man surnamed Chen couldn't stand Liu and sold Liu to a brothel. Five months later, Liu died in a brothel."

"This man surnamed Chen claims to be a famous scholar in the south of the Yangtze River, a family of great Confucianists, he has no intention of fame and fortune, he has a good skin, and has studied for a few years. He is actually a charlatan. A kind of high-spirited woman who is tired of selling brothels."

Zhu Qiyu suddenly understood the four words "right to the door".

"Xu Siqi is here." A little yellow man ran in and bowed his head.

"I pay homage to Your Majesty, is Your Majesty safe?" Xu Siqi didn't know what was going on, and saluted with a normal expression.

Zhu Qiyu shook the memorial in his hand, threw it in front of Xu Siqi, and said sharply, "Look at the good deeds you have done!"

Xu Siqi could already read and write. After a few glances, his face was ashen. Kneeling on the ground, he said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, I... I was confused for a while, please spare my life!"

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Siqi and was furious. He patted the table and said, "I thought you were going to make a few sophistry in front of me. Don't you be brave."

"Your servant owes you the grace of God, and you deserve death for your crimes!" Xu Siqi bowed his head and bowed his ears, knelt on the ground and wept bitterly.

Zhu Qiyu's tone was a little irritated. He thought for a long time and said, "What do you think is wrong with you? The anti-corruption and corruption rumors on my side are being suppressed. What are you doing wrong? Do you have to hit the muzzle of the gun?"

"If you are short of money and ask me, can I not give it to you? The impeachment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Ministry of Punishment, the Ministry of Industry, Dali Temple, Jinyiwei, and Dongchang joint inspections. You old Xu is so proud of you!"

"You son of a gambler, you are too pampered! I will send him to Kaiping to guard the border tomorrow! The army is strictly governed there. If you beat him for a few years, your temperament will be fine."

"You pack up tomorrow and go to Liaodong to build an official factory. If you can't do well, don't come back!"

Xu Siqi thought that he was going to die, but when he heard that he was going to Liaodong, he was also taken aback, kneeling on the ground for a long time without saying a word.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Xu Siqi without saying a word, and said with a frown: "Why don't you let your son go to Kaiping to guard the border, and let you go to Liaodong to build an official factory?"

Xu Siqi kowtowed five times, almost bleeding from the knock, and then said loudly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! I will definitely finish the Liaodong Coal and Iron Factory, and then I will bear the grace, and I will come to see you!"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said impatiently: "Okay, how much is your head worth! Hurry up, don't be an eyesore here."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Your Majesty... Take care." Xu Siqi stood up and walked out of the imperial study room of Juxian Pavilion.

Zhu Qiyu and Xu Siqi have a good relationship. Sometimes when it's time for dinner, Zhu Qiyu will stay with Xu Siqi for dinner. When Xu Siqi comes, Zhu Qiyu will give him food in the palace, and Xu Siqi will honestly say that he has eaten .

Looking at Xu Siqi's back, Zhu Qiyu felt mixed emotions in his heart. He could somewhat understand how sad Zhu Yuanzhang must have been when he killed those old brothers of his.

"I'm afraid the Metropolitan Procuratorate is going to have a meeting today. I impeached the general office of Shijing Factory, and I'm somewhat ignorant." Zhu Qiyu shook his head and said, "The general office of Shijing Factory is a fat vacancy. The Wang Gong factory Chen Youde, transferred to Shijing Factory as the general office."

"Decree five captains of soldiers and horses in the five cities. I will hear in the future that there is still a gambling shop in the capital of the Ming Dynasty. The captains of soldiers and horses don't want to do it anymore. They will all be sent to Shijing Factory to dig coal for me!"

Zhu Qiyu said rather unwillingly: "This Cai Yuji has meritorious deeds in impeachment, so give him a first merit card. By the way, how is He Zhang's illness? It's been a month since he came back, and he still looks like he's dying of food and drink?"
