Chapter 725
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyelids slightly, and this boy admitted so quickly.
"You hand over the gold medal of death first, and then speak!"
"..." Yan Chengjin.
Xiao Jing walked down with Jinpan in his arms. Under the gaze of the minister, Yan Chengjin took out five gold medals from his chest, sleeves and waist.
Li Dongyang was shocked.
Jiang Mian opened his mouth slightly and stood there for a long time without coming back to his senses. It was his Majesty’s blessing to get together.
Yan Chengjin actually has five pieces!
After the gold medal of exemption from death was received, Emperor Hongzhi said: "Tell me, why should I abandon the eunuchs and tax prisons?"
Yan Chengjin took out the booklet that had been prepared long ago: "Li Kuan, the eunuch in Yunnan, blackmailed everywhere, ordered to take jade belts, colorful silks, gems and other property, and even forced the people's daughters to be misled."
Emperor Hongzhi's face gradually became ugly, and he could not see such fish and meat.
But a surprising scene happened.
Chen Rong, the director of the Hujian Department, said: "Liu Cheng, the eunuch in Qingyuan Prefecture in Guangxi, asked for gems and gold on the grounds of recommendation and good words to local officials, and asked for a thousand escorts to escort money."
"The eunuchs in Datong, Zhejiang, Guangzhou and other places all have committed crimes." The minister of Dali Temple said.
The hall suddenly fell silent.
Liu Jian turned around and the officials around him shared the same hatred with Yan Chengjin.
Yesterday, Yan Chengjin mentioned that he wanted to abolish the eunuchs. There was only one possibility to collect crimes so quickly.
This guy has long held evidence.
Jiang Mian's eyes moved slightly. The things Yan Chengjin sent to the six ministries yesterday should be evidence of the crime of the prison.
Emperor Hongzhi's expression became even more ugly: "Why are you just repaying me now?"
"I have never been to Datong and I don't know the amount of coal mines given to me. But Zhang Zhen wanted to dig me for the coal mine, so he took the opportunity to ask for beg for it because of his greed." Yan Chengjin said.
Emperor Hongzhi said in a deep voice: "Do you know that the eunuchs and tax supervisors are my eyes and ears?"
All officials were throbbing in their hearts.
The eunuchs in the garrison harassed the local area, and the local officials demanded the removal of the eunuchs in the garrison, but the court did not allow begging.
Yan Chengjin said: "I know, but there was no censor's office in the area before, and no one supervised the ministry for Your Majesty.
Now, prefectures and counties have a censor's office, and this institution overlaps with the eunuchs in charge.
Your Majesty wants to read two similar memorials, which will not only cost you the energy but also increase your salary."
The Censorate is also the emperor's eyes and ears, and the eunuchs are also the emperor's eyes and ears.
Putting the two together will cause an intersection of work.
The eunuchs guarded the local army to avoid rebellion. However, the army retreated in places such as Yunnan and Guangxi, but the eunuchs guarded the eunuchs did not retreat.
Wang Qiong bowed and said, "It is better to remove the eunuchs and tax supervisors in various places than to reduce the salary of officials. I have a rough calculation that these twenty-seven people are greedy for money, 370,000 taels of silver."
Twenty-seven people, each of whom was plundering about 10,000 or more property.
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
"I'm going to discuss it!"
The ministers knelt on the ground in unison, and in the hall, sounds sounded.
Liu Jian and Xie Qian were stunned. Except for the cabinet and a few people standing and kneeling down.
Even officials who opposed the Yan Chengjin rebellion bowed their heads and begged.
The ministers lowered their heads, and the new Jiang Mian was really abominable! They even privately agreed to reduce their official salary.
Only fools are willing!
If they hadn't heard some news from the Censorate and the government orders came out, they wouldn't have known it yet.
The Crown Prince of Dai Zhu Chongyao was stunned and the slash of His Majesty's eyes and ears were extraordinary.
Lord Yan can actually let so many officials beg for begging together.
"Retreat!"
When he returned to Wenhua Hall, Emperor Hongzhi sat on the imperial chair with a look of anger: "Why are so many officials who agree to abolish the prison?"
Xiao Jing didn't dare to reply. The town magistrate was sent out from the Sili magistrate.
"I'll call the cabinet?"
"Don't call Yan Chengjin, I don't want to see him."
This guy is here and will definitely pursue him again.
Soon, Liu Jian and the other four came to the hall, and Jiang Mian sighed: "The minister may not agree with Yan Chengjin, but he just doesn't want to reduce his salary."
Unexpectedly, Yan Chengjin used this method to resist salary cuts.
Zhang Sheng nodded, just as he expected.
Emperor Hongzhi swept over Liu Jian and the other four: "The three masters also think that should we withdraw the tax and supervise the producer?"
A few people looked around and saw from their faces that they had different opinions.
Zhang Sheng and Xie Qian said: "I think it can be cut off!"
Seeing Liu Jian, Li Dongyang and Jiang Mian were not moved, Emperor Hongzhi asked: "What do the three masters mean?"
Li Dongyang said: "The Censor's Office takes over the tax supervision and garrison. I am worried that the authority of the Censorate will be magnified again."
Zhang Sheng and Xie Qian's pupils shrank suddenly.
After the tax supervision and town supervision were sanctioned, wasn’t it the Censor’s Office supervised? Yan Chengjin really wished the chicken a New Year.
Emperor Hongzhi nodded: "If the Censorate's Office concludes it, I have no way to know."
Why do I spend more money and not punish the guards? I am afraid that the Censor's Office will become bigger.
Jiang Mian sighed in his heart that Yan Chengjin was not old, but his thoughts were as meticulous as other cabinet masters.
Still underestimated this person.
Xiao Jing walked in and whispered: "Your Majesty, all the officials knelt down and advised him in Fengtian Hall, and only Yan Chengjin returned to the duty room."
At this time, Fengtian Palace.
The minister cursed, "Jiang Mian is really not a good person, and he needs to be governed as soon as he entered the capital."
Just let’s go to the administration, but you still need to cut salary?
The censor was so angry that he knelt on the ground while writing a chapter, and occasionally exchanged his experience in impeachment with the ministers.
Wang Qiong took a deep breath: "I don't know if Your Majesty will choose to abolish the garrison, or reduce his salary."
"It's best not to abandon it. The two cabinet ministers have different jurisdictions, but we are the ones who suffer." Chang Yuanxi, the Minister of Justice, said.
If the town prison is abolished, the power of guarding the eunuchs will fall to the Censorate.
The Censorate has four departments and is a bit huge in the capital.
If they wanted to choose one party, they would rather abolish the jail than reduce their salary. The power of the eunuchs in the local area was equally huge, but they were just changing the yamen.
At night, the officials had not dispersed and couldn't help but scold Yan Chengjin.
The dog official is not going to kneel down by himself.
Xiao Jing came and urged: "Everyone, you are going to close the palace gate, please leave the palace soon."
"What does your majesty mean?"
All the officials looked at Xiao Jing one after another.
Xiao Jing sighed and turned to report to Emperor Hongzhi.
At this time, Wenhua Palace.
Emperor Hongzhi and all the dukes were in the hall.
Yan Chengjin's heart was slightly moved, and Jiang Mian asked His Majesty for a salary reduction out of good intentions, but he would be complained by all officials and would be unable to gain a foothold in the capital.
Emperor Hongzhi said: "I have said that we should not be promoted to the authority of the Censorate."
Liu Jian and others were worried.
The Censorate gave it to Yan Chengjin. Although he would not be greedy, he would have made customizations. Will he be in great power in the future?
Yan Chengjin said: "Your Majesty thinks that the Censorate has great power, but in fact it is not. The Censorate's power is supervision, which also includes monitoring town and local officials, and the supervisory party, and the duties of the Censorate in the Censorate."
The eunuchs and tax supervisors are also supervisors.
Taxes are collected by local governments, and tax supervision is only taxation and supervision.
The same functions as the Censorate.
"If your Majesty does not want to withdraw, I have a way."
Emperor Hongzhi looked up slightly, looking at listening with a stern look.
"The eunuchs are abolished and they are still in the place, and all functions are abolished, and they are only used as the eyes and ears of His Majesty, and they do not reduce their salary."
Li Dongyang's eyes moved slightly. The guard and tax supervisor had no power and could no longer harass the local area. "I think it's OK!"
Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath: "I will send an order to not reduce my salary. Please stop kneeling in the hall as if it were falsely accused of the Cabinet. The cabinet will depose the functions of guarding and tax supervision, and only guard the place for me."
Chapter completed!
