Prince of Chaos

Chapter 340
Shi Xing died.

According to the report from the Ministry of Criminal Justice, Shi Xing was worried about dying of illness.

When Zhu Changluo saw the report of Shi Xing's death, he didn't say anything.

After all, according to the conclusions drawn in the previous Jizhen case, Shi Xing would be punished for the crimes of the Yi tribe.

Now that he died early, it was a good thing.

Well, since it's a good thing, then of course the dead Shi Xing can't take it all by himself.

Zhu Changluo also needs the reputation of benevolence.

"The decree is that Shi Xing, the lone offender, has been loyal to his father and emperor for decades, and his family members are pardoned for the crime of sitting together. The punishment of the three tribes of Yi is changed to two thousand miles. All relatives are exiled to Ningxia to atone for their crimes."

There is still a shortage of labor in Ningxia, especially those who can read and write, they are scarce talents.Zhu Changluo couldn't do the work of going to the mountains and the countryside, but it was still easy to use the power in his hands to get some family members of prisoners with a certain level of education.Getting them over like this can be regarded as giving them a chance to redeem themselves, and let them continue to shine in the Northwest Development.Well done, maybe Zhu Changluo pardoned their sins with a special decree, and when the time comes, they will gain both fame and fortune, so why not do it?

Zhu Changluo's will was quickly sent to the cabinet. After the cabinet saw Zhu Changluo's tolerance for Shi Xing's death, they all couldn't help but praise Zhu Changluo's benevolence.

After it was spread to the outer dynasty, the officials of the outer dynasty saw Zhu Changluo's magnanimous will, and they were also moved to praise Zhu Changluo's generosity.

After hearing Wei Zhongxian's report on the reactions of the foreign officials, Zhu Changluo snorted, "They just like Gu like this."

Hearing what Zhu Changluo said, Wei Zhongxian couldn't help lowering his head and didn't dare to answer.

Zhu Changluo looked at Wei Zhongxian's attitude, and he was also very satisfied with Wei Zhongxian's current performance. Over the years, the underground intelligence organization Wei Zhongxian formed for him has begun to take shape, and he dare not say it covers the Ming Dynasty, but at least around the capital and the Liaodong area that Zhu Changluo attaches great importance to. , Wei Zhongxian has established an effective and covert intelligence organization.

"How's the fourth part of Haixi?"

Zhu Changluo hasn't heard the news about Liaodong Jurchen for a long time, and Zhu Changluo is still very worried about this.

Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo ask about the Sibu of Haixi.

Wei Zhongxian immediately replied: "The situation of the four Haixi Jurchens is pretty good now. With Li Rusong's deterrence, the Jianzhou Jurchen did not dare to act rashly and annex the Haixi Jurchen. During this time, the Yehe tribe of the Haixi Jurchen has been actively Cooperating with the army entering the court, it provided certain preparations for the supply of the army, and Governor Xing Jie also intends to ask for merit and reward for Ye He's department."

After Zhu Changluo heard the news, he nodded and said: "Ye He's department is doing pretty well. When Xing Jie asks for credit for Ye He, he will be allowed to invite him. What about the other three departments?"

Wei Zhongxian said: "The other three tribes are now being conquered by the Jianzhou Jurchens because of their quarrel with the Jianzhou Jurchens. However, under the shock of Li Rusong, the chieftain did not dare to really bully these three tribes."

Zhu Changluo thought for a while, "The four Haixi tribes have always been my loyal vassal tribes of Ming Dynasty. The preferential treatment for these four tribes is also a necessary part to check and balance the situation in Liaodong. However, the grievances between these four tribes are complicated. Even if there is Jianzhou Such a strong enemy is outside, and the mutual hostility and attack between them has never stopped. Now Jianzhou Jurchen is growing stronger, and Nurhachi is known as Khan, and he feels lonely and worried. Therefore, Gu decided to support the Yehe tribe to unify the four Haixi tribes , so that it has the strength to compete with Jianzhou Jurchen. You pass this news to Li Rusong and let him play by ear."

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's arrangement, he immediately replied: "Yes."

After arranging this matter, Zhu Changluo summoned Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang to the Ciqing Palace.

Now, these two people have become the chief officials of one of the imperial courts. Although they are not as powerful as the six departments, they are still very popular compared with the cold water yamen like the Tongzheng Division of Dali Temple.

After the two arrived at Ciqing Palace, they saluted and greeted each other.

"I see Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang, and Zhu Changluo said, "Get up."

After the two got up, Zhu Changluo asked, "Are you still used to the errands in the new yamen?"

Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang immediately replied: "It is the duty of ministers to share the worries of His Highness."

Zhu Changluo said: "Since you want to share the worries of the orphans, you should come up with some real materials. The establishment of these two new bureaus by the orphans is not for you to be good gentlemen. You have to monitor the officials and promote them. Integrity, the role of anti-corruption and punishment. Don’t copy the original set of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division. The Metropolitan Procuratorate and the Sixth Division are rumors, but you are different. You must speak with real evidence and use evidence as your basis. Orientation. Don’t engage in the routines of officials who are not astonishing and endless.”

The Independent Commission Against Corruption and the Anti-Corruption Administration were newly established. Although the two officials in charge are now hardcore officials from Zhu Changluo Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo still needs to give them a good beating so that they can clarify their positions and prevent them from They got carried away and were finally mobbed and attacked.

"I understand."

Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang worshiped again.

Zhu Changluo then asked Zhong Huamin, "Mr. Zhong, are the responsibilities of the ICAC clearly defined now?"

After Zhong Huamin heard Zhu Changluo's question, he immediately replied: "Return to Your Highness, it is already clear. The ICAC is directly under the cabinet and supervises the construction of a clean government for all officials in the court. The ICAC has the right to question officials who have exceeded the court system. Corrupt officials, the ICAC can investigate first, and when the evidence is clear and the case is clear, it can be handed over to the Ministry of Penalties or reported to the cabinet for disposal."

Zhu Changluo nodded and said: "That's right. But you must be clear about one thing. The ICAC has the power to investigate officials suspected of corruption, but the ICAC does not have the right to directly take people. Therefore, during the investigation, the ICAC can only investigate in private. , can’t indulge like Jin Yiwei with a lot of fanfare.”

Zhong Huamin immediately replied: "I understand that I must restrain the members of the ICAC, and let them abide by the court's laws and regulations, and enforce the law in a civilized manner."

Zhu Changluo went on to say: "With regard to the employment standards of the ICAC, I think it should be like this. First, the employees of the ICAC must be familiar with the laws of Ming Dynasty; second, the employees of the ICAC should try their best to be young people with a sense of justice; The ideological education of internal personnel should not be relaxed in the slightest, to prevent them from using their power for personal gain, domineering, and damaging the overall image of the ICAC. This third point, I can help you do it first. As for the future, you can do the job How you do it depends on your ability. But, don't let Gu down."

Zhong Huamin said: "I must do my best to lead the ICAC to do its job well."

Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, then it depends on your performance."

Zhong Huamin said: "I will definitely live up to His Highness's expectations."

Then Zhu Changluo turned the topic to Dong Qichang.

Zhu Changluo looked at Dong Qichang and said: "The name Anti-Corruption Department, I still feel a little stingy. So, I changed it to the Anti-Corruption Bureau for you. Although it belongs to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has no right to intervene in the anti-corruption department." The direct person in charge of the Anti-Corruption Agency is Gu. Although the tasks of the Anti-Corruption Agency and the ICAC overlap in terms of responsibilities, the Anti-Corruption Agency is still an independent office, and the ICAC can investigate things. You can investigate, and you can investigate things that the ICAC cannot investigate. In short, the Anti-Corruption Agency has all investigation powers except for criminal and prison trials. Do you understand this point?"

Dong Qichang excitedly said: "I understand."

The power of the Anti-Corruption Agency is too great. When Dong Qichang clarified the responsibilities of the Anti-Corruption Agency, he felt that the Metropolitan Procuratorate could close its doors.

But Zhu Changluo didn't think so. Zhu Changluo believed that the Metropolitan Procuratorate was a very important position of public opinion. Although, the most things he did were pretentious, exaggerated, and personal attacks.

However, because of this, the Metropolitan Procuratorate cannot be relaxed. Therefore, Zhu Changluo specifically asked Dong Qichang to control the Metropolitan Procuratorate no matter what.
