Invincible Zhengde

Chapter 341 Stop Trading
Hearing this remark, the expressions on everyone's faces were wonderful. Not only was it a civil servant who stood up, but he also said it so harshly.

"Law of Officials" is a chapter of Ming Law, including "Position System" and "Formula", two volumes, 33 articles, mainly stipulating the functions, regulations and official duties that civil and military officials should follow.

Among them are the capital offenses of "ministers who specialize in selecting officials", "civilian officials conferring princes", "associating with cronies to disrupt the government", "associating with close officials", "changing the laws of chaos without authorization", and other capital offenses.

There is no clear rule that family members sit together, if it is added, it will put a shackle on the civil servant.At the same time, we have found a very good legal clause for the gentry's rampant lawlessness and harming the people in the local area, which can be punished at any time.

Many people want to ask, who is this?
Everyone turned their heads to take a look, and their hearts were filled with mixed feelings.

The person who said this was none other than Shen Lu, the envoy.

The status of the Tongzheng Envoy was originally very low, and the status of the Tongzheng Envoy was raised a little after the memorials were made a few years ago, but this is also limited.After all, you are an official who uploads and issues, and you are not required to make corrections, so what power do you have?
Everyone knows Shen Lu's character. He had joined the Marquis of Shouning before, and now he is also a member of His Highness the Crown Prince.

He was considered an early refugee, but he has been working as a co-administrator for the past few years, and it seems that His Royal Highness is about to forget him.Such a person actually stood up at this time and did such a cruel thing.

Of course, Shen Lu also has his own ideas, he wants to improve, he wants to stand up!He didn't want to always sit in the seat of the envoy.Also as an earlier group of people who took refuge in Zhu Houzhao, Qi You went from a doctor of the household department to a servant of the household department in charge of salt and iron.

Liu Qi, the former Yangzhou transshipment envoy, sold the gentry and officials of Yangzhou for a whole lot when His Royal Highness was investigating the salt smuggling case in Yangzhou. Everyone thought he was going to be finished, but he sat on the bench in Nanjing for several years and directly He was promoted to be the servant of the household department, and the director of salt and iron. It is said that he will be promoted again recently.

What about yourself?How can it work if you were the Tongzheng envoy when you took refuge in the past, and you are still the Tongzheng envoy now?
Shen Lu held a deep breath in his heart, he had no moral integrity, he was looking for an opportunity but couldn't get it, this time when the opportunity came, he naturally had to play hard.

Originally, Shen Lu also knew that this was an opportunity, but he didn't dare to show up. It was really too big this time, and if he was not careful, he would be set on fire. He didn't want to be killed instead of turning over.

But the British Duke Zhang Mao stood up, and all the nobles and relatives supported him. Shen Lu knew that this time he would definitely not overturn.

Under such circumstances, it is natural to stand up, but how to stand up is another matter.If you just simply agree, you won't be able to show your loyalty and talent at all.

So Shen Lu had a flash of inspiration, and directly set his eyes on the "Law of the Ming Dynasty".

If the effect is good, Shen Lu feels that he can study the law of the Ming Dynasty more, and work hard in this direction in the future, maybe he can go to the Ministry of Punishment to get involved.Thinking of this, Shen Lu became excited.So he jumped out first, and he wanted to take a gamble.

"Your Majesty, I think Master Shen's words are serious, so I second my opinion." At this moment, another person stood up again.

This person is naturally Qi You, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs. If Shen Lu did not stand up, it would be fine; but if Shen Lu did stand up, what would happen if Qi You didn't stand up again?

One must know that Qi You is known as His Royal Highness's number one confidant on the side of the civil servants, and Shen Lu has taken the lead, so Qi You is already very angry.If someone else took the lead, then I would really be doomed, especially that Liu Qi behind me.

Liu Qi has been an official for so many years, and he sat in the position of Yangzhou Transshipment Envoy. Of course, it is not a fuel-efficient lamp. In addition, he sold so many people in Yangzhou in the past few years, and he had no bottom line. sensuality.

With such a person behind him, how could Qi You not be worried?
You must know that Qi You lost Zhong Zhong in the seat of Yan Tiesi, and then boarded the seat of Hubu Shangshu himself.

As the saying goes, the instigator has no descendants?

Would a person like Liu Qi also want to go his own way?Qi You didn't want Liu Qi to mess with him.

As Qi You stood up, Liu Qi naturally followed closely behind, secretly annoyed in his heart, why did he let these two people steal the limelight?

After the three people, a few more civil servants stepped forward, basically the three of them.In the past few years, they have relied on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, which has gathered a lot of people.

Looking at the main hall, Zhu Youtang was full of emotions in his heart. His son was not in the capital, and his people could display such great energy.

At this time, everyone's eyes are on the three Cabinet Grand Masters. The meaning is very simple, can you three say something? '

The three of them also knew that it would be impossible for them not to express their views at this time. His Majesty looked over. Anyway, they were all beaten to pieces. It wasn't that our army was incompetent, but that there was an inner ghost.

Xie Qian, a cabinet scholar, took a step forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think Shen Lu's words are justified, so I agree with you."

After Xie Qian stood up, Li Dongyang also stood up: "The minister seconded the proposal."

This time it was completely unstoppable, everyone stood up, bowed and said: "The minister waits for a second opinion."

Zhu Youtang glanced at the faces of many ministers. He felt that his three views had been refreshed again. Civil servants could have no morals.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang stood up and said: "Let's discuss this matter again, let's retreat!"

After saying this, Zhu Youtang stood up and walked out.

There was no decision, and he chose to discuss again. Zhu Youtang's purpose was very simple, not to oppress him too much, and to take it easy.

Today is a strong pressure. If it is forced to push, I am afraid that there will be problems. Take it easy and implement it after a period of time.

The most important point, Zhu Youtang felt that it was best for his son to handle this matter.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youtang was also shocked by his son's ability to buy people's hearts.The son doesn't seem to be doing anything, why do these nobles and relatives support him so much?The same goes for those civil servants. It seems that the son's fallacies and heresies are probably a bit interesting.

Zhu Youtang went back to think about his son's affairs, while the ministers left the hall with weird faces, and they were inexplicably up this morning.

This is completely different from what everyone thinks. It can be said to be the exact opposite. What kind of thing is this!

But no one talked about it, because they didn't know where to start, but sparks flew between Shen Lu and Qi You, everyone avoided them, for fear of being implicated by these two people.
