The court has been very embarrassed since the court has been held.

The Ministry of Personnel obviously had not reported any news, but the Tianguan quarreled with the Minister of War and refused to report the court's recommendation of the Zuodu Censor. The officials next to him who were quite prepared and eager to try were all confused.

The Minister of Revenue Chen Yi slowly left the court and reported to him:

"Your Majesty, since the fourth year of Zhengtong, the Ministry of Revenue has increased its military expenditure on the northern region every year. Last year, the Ministry of Revenue calculated the allocation of silver in the northern region in the second year of Jingtai. Suddenly, it was found that the two towns of Datong and Xuanfu did not recover the annual reward of silver at the end of the year."

"I personally went to the Jinyiwei and checked the two annual reward expenses of military and local governments in the two places. I found that the New Year's Day reward was not issued last year. Compared with previous years, there were more rewards last year, especially in Xuanfu Town, which issued 10% more rewards."

"I impeached Datong. The generals of Xuanfu concealed their income and intercepted tax revenue without authorization, and were unscrupulous."

There was a moment of silence in the court, and the court officials looked at Chen Yi in shock.

The impeachment of the general officers of Xuanfu and Datong towns, and the crime of intercepting taxes without authorization, was a serious crime. The Ministry of Revenue has seized tangible evidence, otherwise he would not dare to directly impeach at the grand court meeting.

Su Cheng raised his eyebrows, and Chen Yi had something to say.

Zhu Qiyu on the imperial stairs stood up, and he looked at Chen Yi:

"Mr. Chen has tangled the general of a town is a serious crime."

He raised his chin and was so angry that he was a bachelor:

"No."

The government and the country were in an uproar.

It would be fine if the seven ministers and ministers impeached the generals of the border town, but there was no evidence yet.

The Censor Jiuyi shook the whip and finally suppressed the noise.

Zhu Qiyu sat back, holding her forehead, and said helplessly:

"Mr. Chen, it is a serious crime to impeach the general officer and intercept taxes. If you speak nonsense like this, how can I deal with the general officer? Besides, the local officials will deal with the tax management. How can the governor and the governor and the governor take charge of such matters have to do with the general officer?"

Chen Yi said dissatisfiedly:

"These two places are different, and they have nothing to do with the governor and magistrate. Although the government has money, the taxes are paid. The military households have more money, so it must be the border troops intercepted the taxes. Sun Yong and Tao Jin must have intercepted the two."

Zhu Qiyu had to look at Yu Qian and Su Cheng, and the two ministers of the Ministry of War could make it clear.

Yu Qian stood up, left the court, and said to Chen Yi first:

"What do you mean by being arrogant and unreasonable, and slandering the general?"

Chen Yi's eyes glared:

"Yu Tingyi, don't stare at me. Please allow the people from the Ministry of War to intercept them, so I will not be allowed to file a lawsuit with the Ministry of Revenue!

I tell you Yu Tingyi, although I can't catch your handle, I can sue you!

Your border army spent three million yuan on military use last year, but this year it still owed one million yuan and three million yuan without paying it. If your border army can have such a good year, there must be a problem in the middle."

Yu Qian twisted his beard:

"My Ministry of War has opened up military camps and exchanged them with the grassland. If you don't have those who charge levies and taxes, the people will naturally become rich. If the people are rich, the border troops will naturally become rich. How can there be problems? You are just asking for trouble."

Chen Yi stared:

"Your border army has a problem. Otherwise, why don't you chase my Ministry of Revenue and ask for the remaining one.3 million taels."

There was a quarrel in the court, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Minister of War attacked each other.

You said I was bored, I said you were stingy.

In the end, the Censor of the Censorate also intervened recently, impeaching the two officials of the Ministry of Justice to despise the court, and the king made a mistake.

At this time, a little eunuch quietly entered the hall and presented a note to the imperial palace.

Zhu Qiyu took the note handed over by Xing'an, glanced at it, and his eyes widened.

"Pu"

The memorial was thrown off the imperial throne by Zhu Qiyu, and landed in front of the Danban, overwhelming the noises of the ministers.

"This is the memorial of Cao Tai, the chief censor of the Censorate."

Zhu Qiyu's voice was a little cold and hoarse.

"He was ordered to secretly inspect the Zheng family of Guangdong's maritime merchants. With the help of the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang, he went through a life-threatening life, and finally investigated the Zheng family's case."

"During the investigation, Cao Tai was assassinated by the dead soldiers sent by the Zheng family five times, and the local officials in Foshan were assassinated by the Yin and Yin Dynasty. Nearly 100 people were killed or injured by the accompanying Jinyiwei. The Dongchang Fanzi was even a general flag destroyed by the regiment in Xiangyang Tower."

"In Guangdong, there is a collusion between officials and businessmen, and they are in harmony, and the country will not be a country."

Zhu Qiyu's roar resounded throughout the court.

The ministers who heard the news looked at the note on the ground in surprise.

The Guangdong administration was so decayed that even the imperial envoy dared to assassinate it. Fortunately, His Majesty had the foresight and sent Dongchang Fanzi and Jinyiwei Weiqi, otherwise Cao Tai would have died in Foshan.

Zhu Qiyu continued:

"This time I investigated the Zheng family of the maritime merchant, Su Cheng asked me to send out several forces to check and balance each other in order to make a thorough investigation. At the beginning, I thought he was too much of a problem."

"Now it seems that I underestimated the courage of those evil people, and they actually dared to assassinate the imperial envoy of the court!"

"Huang Hao, the Censor of Zhejiang Censorate, was ordered to handle the matter in front of the official position. He was killed in public by the Zheng family in the courtyard because he discovered the Zheng family's hidden crossbow armor."

"boom"

The court suddenly became chaotic.

The news was too shocking. The Censor was a senior official of the third rank. Although his power was much lower than that of the Hongwu Dynasty, he was also an openly high-ranking official in a province who was beaten to death by a merchant in the yard.

Jin Lian, the Minister of Justice, knelt down on the ground and started a loud sound:

"I ask Your Majesty to issue an order to severely punish the sea merchant family and destroy the three clans to serve as a warning to others."

The ministers knelt down:

"Please give an order to severely punish the Zheng family of the sea merchants."

Zhu Qiyu glanced at the kneeling ministers and said word by word:

"It's too late!"

"Cao Tai found out that they killed high-ranking officials of the court, so they colluded with local officials and fled from Guangdong together. According to Cao Tai, except for some marginal figures, the people of the Zheng family are now hiding on the large island outside Zhoushan."

"How do you ask me to punish the Zheng family severely?"

Zhu Qiyu suddenly stood up and stood above the Danmu, with a cold voice:

"Can my navy defeat the Zheng family's armed merchant ship?"

"Are my officials honest and honest? Can you not be in a relationship with the Zheng family?"

"What should I use to severely punish the Zheng family of the sea merchant?"

Zhu Qiyu's roar echoed in the hall.

"Retreat."

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand tiredly, turned around and walked down the Danban, and his figure disappeared in the back hall.

Wang Wen, the Minister of Personnel, took a few steps forward, picked up the note on the ground, opened it, looked carefully, and handed it over to Yu Qian who was looking at him, and then asked Su Cheng who was standing in the distance:

"Your Majesty, can our navy really defeat the servants of these sea merchants? When the eunuch of the Three Treasures went to the West, they were treasure ships, and they fought with small Western countries to surrender."

Su Cheng smiled:

"Then are there any masters who can build treasure ships in our Ming Dynasty?"

Wang Wen turned his head and looked at Chen Xun, the Minister of Works, next to him.

Chen Xun thought about it carefully:

"The Hanlin Academy has a case record, and the corresponding shipbuilding albums are kept in the palace. The Ministry of Works only has some not-so-important warship albums, and there are no copies of the large treasure ship albums. I still have to check it out."

"As for the craftsmen..."

Chen Xun shook his head:

"There are only two old craftsmen registered by the Ministry of Works. Unfortunately, they are old and I am afraid I will not be able to build a treasure ship."

Wang Wen sighed. The court has always been cautious about opening the sea, which has also caused the sea trade to be underdeveloped. Especially in the Orthodox Dynasty, people have proposed sea bans many times. Naturally, fewer craftsmen who can build treasure ships die as they die.

"Can we bear it this time?"
