Xiangye

Chapter 208 Zhu Qiyu ([-])
Wu Yin got the emperor's approval, and hurriedly came across the memorial, just glanced at it, and couldn't help asking: "Is it Xu Xuan's letter?"

The emperor nodded: "It's him. When this booklet came to me, I didn't think of such a person for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, I asked Yu Qian, what is the proposal to move south to Xu Yuxie?"

Wu Yin also thought of this person, and felt contempt in his heart.In his opinion, this is a foolish person. At the beginning, Long Live Lord had just supervised the country, presided over the state affairs, and mobilized all kinds of soldiers and horses to serve the king in the capital.As far as Zhu Xin is concerned, if he defends the capital and repels the enemy first, that is what everyone expects, and becoming emperor is a logical thing.However, this person surnamed Xu suggested moving the capital to Nanjing. If the emperor adopted his suggestion, it would not matter if he lost Beijing. His prestige would suffer a serious blow, and it would be impossible for him to ascend the throne.

It was also because Xu Zhen was not only reviled by the officials and people in the capital, but also lost the trust of the court, and was driven out of the capital and sent to Shaanxi to recruit soldiers.

"Yes, Lord Long Live, I will let you see what Master Xu Zhezi is talking about first." Wu Yin cast his eyes on it, looked at ten lines at a glance, and was immediately startled.Can't help taking a breath of air: "Xu Zhen sealed the office of the Shaanxi chief envoy, arrested officials, and impeached Gao Linghan for corrupting the law...It's a big move."

Yes, this movement is big, that is earth-shattering!

Xu Jue said in his notes that during the year when he was recruiting soldiers in Shaanxi, because he wanted to collect war horses to form cavalry, he found that the number of horses in horse farms in various places did not match the number reported to the imperial court.According to secret investigations, it was found that there are false reports in various places to defraud the imperial government of horse administration subsidies and tax-free benefits.

Over the years, the horse administration in Shaanxi has been completely corrupted. From the provincial chief envoy to the local state, government, and county officials, they have corrupted a huge amount of horse government subsidies and filled their own pockets.

The memorial also stated that he had already recorded the statements of the relevant criminal officials and sent them to the capital together.

……

It turned out that after Xu Zhen captured the granary that day and sealed up the silver that the merchants in Xi'an had lent to Gao Linghan.

Seeing that they were about to suffer huge losses, and they might even break their doors, the major firms took out IOUs and sued Gao Linghan one after another, asking Xu Yu to show mercy and return the money lent to the chief envoy Own.

As a result, it became clear that officials at all levels in Shaanxi had embezzled money from the imperial court and horse administration subsidies over the years.

Xu Yu was overjoyed, and after recording his statement, he returned the money to the major merchants.Of course, because all the silver has been melted into 50 taels of official silver, [-]% of the fire consumption needs to be deducted.

Merchants are fortunate to be able to get back the loaned money, and a little loss is acceptable, so no more entanglement.

Following this breakthrough, Xu Zhen acted resolutely, and immediately checked Shaanxi up and down.More than 40 officials, large and small, were arrested in one breath.In addition, Gao Linghan and the three officials are still unable to get out of the examination room, and they will not be arrested until this year's list is released.

After doing all this, Xu Yu didn't dare to delay, and immediately expedited it with eight hundred miles, changing horses without changing people, and sending the relevant evidence to the capital.

Today, there are all witnesses and material evidence, and the case has been made.

Editor Xu is also safe in his work. After this memorial was handed over to the Secretary of General Affairs, he also copied another copy for the Metropolitan Procuratorate.The reason is very simple, that is, I want to put the memorial on the emperor's case as soon as possible.

According to the political system of the Ming Dynasty, officials' memorials and official documents had to be sent to the Secretary of General Administration first, and then passed to the cabinet after review, then to the office of ceremonies, and finally to the emperor.There are really too many links in the process. If you don't delay things, there will be more people who know about it.After all, Gao Linghan had been an official of the frontier for nearly ten years, and there were countless disciples of the same year in the ruling and opposition parties.Moreover, this case also involves the Taipu Temple, and I'm afraid that those people will make a big deal and a small matter if they disturb it.

And what the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are doing is to impeach officials. They want to find something to do if they have nothing to do, and they must pick the bones out of the eggs.Otherwise, how can it be shown that they are all gentlemen with noble conduct? Otherwise, how can they show their ability?
Therefore, as soon as this book arrived at the imperial official's platform, there was an uproar in the clear stream, and it was directly handed over to Emperor Jingtai.It is conceivable that tomorrow morning, there will be countless impeachment documents for Gao Linghan from their side like a snowflake.

Yu Qian is the Minister of the Ministry of War, but he also serves as the Imperial Envoy of Zuodu of the Duchayuan, which is why he is here.

Emperor Jingtai: "Wu Yin, you are the Chief Bingbi of the Rites Supervisor, what do you think of this case?"

Hearing the emperor ask Wu Yin's spirits lifted: "Long live, I feel that this case still needs to be considered."

Yes, the case is serious. It can be said that officials of all sizes in the officialdom of Shaanxi are involved in it, so it needs to be carefully considered.If the case is not handled well, it may involve other northern provinces and Taipu Temple, and it is unknown how many people have their official titles removed, or even their heads.Yes, just as Shen Gui just said, on the surface it seems that the case of Ma Zheng only concerns Shaanxi.But Long Live Lord has only been on the throne for one year, and I don't know how many people love the Supreme Emperor, and they may not be the same as today.

I'm afraid that they will expand this case and stir up big storms.

At that time, the evil wind will be strong, and if the waves are not good, they will rush towards the Lord Long Live.

That's right, maybe His Majesty has this idea.

Otherwise, the ironclad evidence is so strong that the old man directly ordered to arrest him, so there is no need to discuss it with Yu Qian and Shen Gui?

Yu Shangshu is now the most trusted by the emperor. It can be said that Long Live Lord was able to ascend the throne, all due to his own strength.After the victory in the defense of Beijing, his prestige was also extremely high.

As long as there is a memorial to be handed over, it is all right.

But today the emperor has remained silent and has not expressed his position.However, Shen Gui, the eunuch in charge of the chief inspector of ceremonies, kept saying that the case should not be too serious.He served the emperor personally, so he naturally knew the emperor's mind, which already explained the problem.

Yu Qian is a strong and upright person, when he heard Wu Yin say this, he immediately shouted: "Wu Yin, what you are talking about is a bastard, what is discretion and how to consider it? I can't figure it out, the law of the country is like a mountain. There are laws that must be obeyed." , Violators must be prosecuted, and the rule of law must be strict. According to the old man, His Majesty can immediately issue an order to order Xu Yu to send the relevant criminals to the court for joint trial by the three judicial departments to find out the case."

"In Shaanxi alone, 34 Zhengyin officials, large and small, were involved in the Ma political abuse case. This is the first time in the 70 years of the Kingdom. There are problems in Shaanxi. What about Shanxi, Beizhili, and Liaodong? It must be thoroughly investigated, Hugh Tell a silverfish to escape from the Huihui Skynet! Those who should be arrested, those who should be sentenced, and those who should be killed. Otherwise, all officials will not accept it, and the people of the world will not accept it!"

These words were already full of murderous intent, Yu Shangshu's face was livid, and he glared at Wu Yin.

The so-called Sanjudi refers to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and Metropolitan Procuratorate, which is the collective name of the three central judicial organs of the Ming Dynasty.

The three agencies also play different roles when handling the case. The Ministry of Criminal Justice is in charge of the trial of the case, and the Dali Temple is the agency responsible for reviewing the case.The Metropolitan Procuratorate can not only supervise the judicial organs, but also has the right to "judgment on major matters and make decisions on minor matters".

The three law departments perform their own duties and supervise each other to ensure the fairness, openness and justice of the case.
