After returning to the Tongzheng Department, Zhao Bingzhong immediately found his subordinates.

This person can be regarded as his confidant and his student. His name is Chen Sihai, a middle-aged man in his thirties.

This person has a strong figure and a good facial features. He was originally a doctor in the Armament of the Ministry of War. This time, Zhao Bingzhong was transferred to his subordinates to be responsible for the newly established yamen.

The name of this yamen is the Inspection Department, which sounds simple and clear, and its full name is the Tongzheng Inspection Department.

There are not many people who know about this yamen outside, only the big bosses in the court know. The inspection department has a very high internal level in the Tongzheng Department and is only responsible to Zhao Bingzhong.

Chen Sihai came to Zhao Bingzhong and saluted respectfully: "I have met my teacher."

Zhao Bingzhong nodded and said, "There is a secret memorial here, you can take a look."

As he said that, Zhao Bingzhong handed the secret memorial in his hand to Chen Sihai.

He reached out and took the memorial over, and Chen Sihai quickly looked it over.

In fact, he was responsible for the Inspection Department, and the memorial that he could see can only prove one problem, that is, the above decision has been made.

According to the process of the Tongzheng Department, after the memorial is handed over, the documents are first opened and viewed, and then the levels are defined according to priorities and handed over to Zhao Bingzhong.

Then several bigwigs from the Tongzheng Department will be responsible for screening, and the light will be handed over to the inspection departments for investigation. If it is a big deal, it will be handed over to His Majesty.

Chen Sihai knew in his heart that the first errand in the inspection department was probably coming. At the same time, he was also very curious about what kind of errand it would be?

You should know that everyone outside is staring at the inspection department, also at the Tongzheng Department, and at their own teachers.

In other words, the first case choice of Tongmasaji is very important.

First of all, this case must be large enough to demonstrate the strength of Tongzhengji.

Secondly, this case must have conclusive evidence and cannot create unjust, false and wrong cases, otherwise it will be meaningless.

As he looked, Chen Sihai's eyes narrowed and the expression on his face became serious.

The person who submitted this memorial was really brave. He actually impeached King Fu and the Henan Prefect. He was really brave!

The key problem is that the situation mentioned in the memorial is true without checking. All the vassal kings in various places are embezzling the land. Not to mention King Fu, which vassal king does not do this?

If the land in a county or a prefecture is small, it is considered a small amount. A person like Fu Wang embezzled most of Henan Province, and in addition, he also monopolized shops, restaurants, and various commercial businesses in various places.

For example, the more famous Fuwang Mansion, they even intervened in the Salt Administration.

This is not a problem with King Fu. This was done by Emperor Wanli back then. Wanli gave King Fu countless salt intakes, and it was also salt from Lianghuai, allowing him to open a store to sell salt.

This led to a large number of King Fu's involvement in the salt administration of Jianghuai, and all the money flowed into his King Fu's mansion. If he had to rely solely on farming, he would not have saved up so much wealth.

It can be said that King Fu is the largest salt dealer in the Lianghuai region and a private businessman, but he does not pay taxes.

The policy is very responsible for insufficient border wages. Because the only income in the Ming Dynasty may be left with salt.

Everyone knows that if King Fu can be moved, the court will definitely make a big splash.

Under such circumstances, no one does not want to touch King Fu, but no one dares to make such suggestions.

The reason is very simple. King Fu is the uncle of His Majesty today. Back then, the late emperor and King Fu fought for the throne, which took a lot of effort. There was once rumors that King Fu wanted to murder the late emperor.

Under such circumstances, anyone who asks His Majesty to touch the King of Blessings will think that His Majesty is taking revenge.

The relationship between the Tian family is a responsibilities that most people cannot afford. What's more, all those who are a little smart understand that King Fu is really just King Fu?

Since King Fu went to Luoyang and since he intervened in the salt administration, he has become a joint assistance from the entire Jianghuai salt merchants, and even the entire Jiangnan salt merchants.

King Fu represents not only himself, but also a huge interest group behind him, and these people are salt merchants in Jiangnan.

Once King Fu is moved, it will be angering the salt merchants. It is conceivable what those people will say.

In addition, the emperor himself was unwilling to do so, so it was particularly difficult to push this matter.

After seeing this memorial, Chen Sihai felt that this would be another memorial without result.

He didn't know why the teacher took out this memorial because it was impossible to accomplish.

Chen Sihai looked up at Zhao Bingzhong and said, "But to investigate the Henan Prefect?"

In Chen Sihai's opinion, the only thing that can be investigated here is the Henan Prefect.

But the first case of the Tongzheng Department was just an investigation into a prefect?

This is too small and completely in line with the original intention of the first case to make a big deal. I am afraid that no one will shock anyone. Chen Sihai still doesn't understand.

Looking at Chen Sihai's puzzled face, Zhao Bingzhong slowly put down the teacup in his hand and said, "Check it as much as you write it above, check it according to the memorial. You can go there yourself."

Chen Sihai said hesitantly: "Mr., does Your Majesty know about this?"

No wonder Chen Sihai asked this. This matter is too big. If His Majesty didn't know, there would be trouble.

He was not worried about himself because something happened would be the teacher. But the problem was that the teacher now had a good future and was in charge of the Tongzheng Department and was deeply trusted by His Majesty. If he offended His Majesty for such a thing, there would be some things that would be impossible.

Whether as a subordinate or as a student for many years, Chen Sihai feels that he should ask.

Zhao Bingzhong glanced at Chen Sihai and said, "I just came back from the palace. This memorial has been shown to His Majesty. In His Majesty's words, since there is a memorial already coming, we have to go down to check to see if it is true, so let you go."

Zhao Bingzhong didn't say much to Chen Sihai, because he was afraid that the other party would have misunderstood.

"Yes, mentor, I'll go back and arrange it and take people there." Chen Sihai said hurriedly.

Although the inspection department has not been established for a long time, there are some personnel. After all, His Majesty has not restricted them from mobilizing any personnel. These people happened to be brought over this time, which can be considered as a training.

There is still a shortage of manpower in front of it. This time, I just can train them. It is enough to investigate a case alone.

Zhao Bingzhong nodded and said, "If there is not enough manpower, you can mobilize the local Jinyiwei. The Jinyiwei should have already written documents. They will ask the local Jinyiwei to cooperate with us."

Nodded gently, Chen Sihai said nothing.

Although Zhao Bingzhong was talking about cooperation, Chen Sihai knew very well in his heart that there was probably a surveillance in it.

But it doesn't matter, just monitor it.

"Go back and prepare well and set off as soon as possible." Zhao Bingzhong waved his hand and said.

"Yes, my teacher." Chen Sihai agreed and bowed to Zhao Bingzhong.

He said with some concern: "Once this matter starts to be rioted, the teacher is afraid that he will become the target of public criticism. If the matter is not done, the teacher must also protect himself."

Looking at his student's worried look, Zhao Bingzhong smiled and waved his hand and said, "I am deeply trusted by His Majesty. How can I retreat at this time for the honor of the Ming Dynasty of the father and son?"

"You do your own thing well, don't worry about me."

Chen Sihai knew what his teacher meant by the two generations of grace.

The teacher’s father was the former right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites. The teacher also won the top scorer back then, and now he has gained the trust of His Majesty.

Both father and son were senior officials in the court and both received the trust of the current dynasty, which was a kindness for the ministers.

Looking at Zhao Bingzhong's firm attitude, Chen Sihai also knew that nothing he said was useless, so he said, "Mr. You can rest assured. I will definitely get things done in Luoyang and will never let my mentor down."

"Go, do it well, be careful on the road." Zhao Bingzhong also instructed.

Looking at Chen Sihai's back as he left, the ease on Zhao Bingzhong's face disappeared.

This time the matter was too big, and at the same time he was worried about another thing. That is, if this matter is done, what should the royal relatives do?

You should know that there are many such things. Even the emperor’s uncle can move, so there is nothing else that cannot move.

At that time, there will definitely be people who will write letters to impeach these royal relatives, and this will happen in the future. In order to protect yourself, civil servants will definitely do this. When checking royal relatives, they must check what they have come by themselves.

If that is true, both sides may be difficult to do. If things really develop to the point where they are uncontrollable, I am afraid that they will be a scapegoat.

I wonder if Your Majesty can withstand it?

Zhao Bingzhong couldn't help but think like this in his heart, and then he shook his head with a wry smile.

Even if there are so many things, you can start from the civil servants to check them. In short, you must grasp the standards.

West Garden.

Zhu Youxiao had just finished drinking a bowl of iced lotus seed soup, which tasted very good. In the slightly hot weather, he felt a little cool.

Satisfiedly, he placed the porcelain bowl on the tray and leaned against the rocking chair.

On the ground not far away, there was a person kneeling.

This man was in his thirties and dressed in the style of a Jinyiwei. He knelt on the ground respectfully and did not dare to move.

Zhu Youxiao shook the rocking chair leisurely a few times and said softly: "Okay, get up."

After the man stood up, Zhu Youxiao asked slowly: "I heard that you have won the Wu Jinshi? It can be seen that the bow, horse, sword, and sword should be good, right?"

"Go back to Your Majesty, my bow, horse, sword and sword are still acceptable." The man said quickly.

"Then let's compete." Zhu Youxiao looked at Qi Yuanfu not far away and waved to him.

When Qi Yuanfu walked in front of him, Zhu Youxiao said, "Take him down to practice."

"Yes, Your Majesty." Qi Yuanfu quickly agreed and turned to look at the man.

The man did not dare to neglect and quickly bowed to Qi Yuanfu. He knew who Qi Yuanfu was, the son of Qi Jin, the general whom His Majesty trusted the most, and was also the leader of His Majesty's personal guard Qianniu Guard. All the guards were led by him, and he could be said to be His Majesty's confidant.

Don’t look like such a person who is not always visible or exposed, but when it comes to the critical moment, no one can afford to offend him.

The man was very polite and looked like he didn't want to offend others.

When both of them left, Zhu Youxiao slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look at Chen Hong, and said, "What are you afraid of?"
