Chapter 339 Fame and fortune
Shi Xing is dead.
According to reports from the Ministry of Justice, Shi Xing died of excessive illness.
When Zhu Changluo saw the report of Shi Xing's death, he didn't say anything.
After all, according to the conclusion set by the Jizhen case, Shi Xing was punished for the crime of the three tribes of Yi.
Now that he died early, it would be a good thing.
So, since it is a good thing, naturally, the dead Shi Xing cannot be taken over by himself.
Zhu Changluo also needs the reputation of benevolence.
"I passed the imperial edict and I was guilty of Guan Shixing's loyalty to his father for decades, and specially pardoned his family for his crime of being convicted of being convicted of his family. The punishment of the three tribes of Yi was changed to being moved to two thousand miles. All the family members were exiled to Ningxia and redeem their sins."
Ningxia is still very short of labor, especially those who can read and write, are simply scarce talents. Zhu Changluo cannot do the work of going to the countryside, but it is easy to use his power to get some criminals with a certain level of culture to get over them. Getting over them like this can also give them a chance to redemption and let them continue to shine in the development of the Northwest Great. If you do well, maybe Zhu Changluo will forgive their sins with a special order. Then, why not do it?
Zhu Changluo's decree was quickly sent to the cabinet. After the cabinet saw Zhu Changluo's tolerance for Shi Xing's death, they all couldn't help but praise Zhu Changluo's kindness.
After being passed to the outside court, when the officials of the outside court saw Zhu Changluo's tolerant and generous decree, they were also moved and praised Zhu Changluo's kindness and generosity.
After hearing Wei Zhongxian report the reactions of the officials from the foreign court, Zhu Changluo snorted, "They just like being alone."
When Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo say this, he couldn't help but lower his head and did not dare to answer the conversation.
Zhu Changluo looked at Wei Zhongxian's attitude. He was also very satisfied with Wei Zhongxian's performance now. Over the years, the underground intelligence organization formed by Wei Zhongxian for him has begun to take shape. He dare not say that it covers the Ming Dynasty. However, at least in the surrounding capital and in the Liaodong area where Zhu Changluo attaches great importance to it, Wei Zhongxian has established an effective and hidden intelligence organization.
"How is the fourth division of Haixi?"
Zhu Changluo hasn't heard of the Liaodong Jurchen for a long time, and Zhu Changluo is still very worried about this.
Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo ask about the situation of the four tribes in Haixi.
Wei Zhongxian immediately replied: "The situation of the four tribes in Haixi is pretty good now. With Li Rusong's shock, the Jianzhou Jurchens did not dare to act rashly and annex the Haixi Jurchens. During this period, the Yehe tribe of the Haixi Jurchens has been actively cooperating with the army entering the court, providing certain preparations for the supply of the army. Governor Xing Jie also intends to ask for merit and reward for the Yehe tribe."
After hearing the news, Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "Ye He's tribe is doing well. When Xing Jie asks for his contributions to Ye He, he will be allowed to ask for what he wants. Where are the other three tribes?"
Wei Zhongxian said: "The other three are now being conquered by the Jianzhou Jurchens because of their feudal relationship with the Jianzhou Jurchens. However, under the shock of Li Rusong, Jianqiu did not dare to truly oppress these three."
Zhu Changluo thought about it, "The four tribes of Haixi have always been a hard-core tribe of my Ming Dynasty. The preferential treatment of these four tribes is also a necessary part of Gu's efforts to check and balance the situation in Liaodong. However, the grudges between these four tribes are complicated. Even if there are strong enemies like Jianzhou, their mutual hostility and attacks have never stopped. Now the Jianzhou Jurchens are growing stronger, and Nurhaci is accused of claiming to be Khan, and Gu is worried. Therefore, Gu decided to support Ye He tribe in unifying the four tribes of Haixi to give them the strength to compete with the Jianzhou Jurchens. You pass this news to Li Rusong and let him act according to the opportunity."
After hearing Zhu Changluo's arrangement, Wei Zhongxian immediately replied: "Yes."
After arranging this matter, Zhu Changluo summoned Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang to meet with Ciqing Palace.
Now, these two have become the chief officials of a court in the court. Although they are not as powerful as the six ministries, they are still very popular compared to cold-shui yamen such as the Tongzhengsi of Dali Temple.
After they arrived at Ciqing Palace, they saluted and greeted each other.
"See Your Highness."
Zhu Changluo looked at Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang, and Zhu Changluo said, "Get up."
After the two of them got up, Zhu Changluo asked, "Are you still used to the errands in the new yamen?"
Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang immediately replied: "It is my duty to share your worries with you."
Zhu Changluo said: "Since you want to share your worries, then come up with some real materials. The establishment of these two new offices against the public is not to let you be good teachers. You must monitor all officials, promote integrity, and punish corruption. Don't copy the original set of the Censorate and the Six Censorate. The Censorate and the Six Censorate are news, but you are different. You must speak based on truth and be guided by evidence. Don't use those censor routines that are not shocking."
The ICAC and the Anti-Corruption Department have newly built. Although the two officials in charge are now hard-core officials from Zhu Changluo Ciqing Palace, Zhu Changluo still has to hit them well to let them understand their positioning and prevent them from being taken over and finally being attacked by the group.
"I understand."
Zhong Huamin and Dong Qichang worshiped again.
Zhu Changluo then asked Zhong Huamin, "Have Mr. Zhong the responsibilities of the ICAC clearly defined now?"
After hearing Zhu Changluo's question, Zhong Huamin immediately replied: "It's clear to you. The ICAC directly under the cabinet to supervise the integrity construction of all officials in the court. For officials who have transcend the imperial system, the ICAC has the right to question. If officials who find corruption and corrupt officials can investigate first, and when the evidence is clear and the case is clear, it can be handed over to the Ministry of Justice or reported to the cabinet for disposal."
Zhu Changluo nodded and said, "No, but there is one thing you must be clear that the ICAC has the right to investigate officials suspected of corruption, but the ICAC does not directly take the right to others. Therefore, during the investigation, the ICAC can only investigate privately and cannot be as indulged as the Jinyiwei."
Zhong Huamin immediately replied: "I understand that I must restrain the people in the ICAC and let them abide by the court's laws and regulations and enforce the law in a civilized manner."
Zhu Changluo continued: "About the employment standards of the ICAC, I believe that this should be the case. First, ICAC must be familiar with the laws of the Ming Dynasty; second, ICAC must try to focus on young people with a sense of justice; third, ICAC must not relax the ideological education of the ICAC internal personnel to prevent them from using their power in their hands for personal gain, being arrogant and virtuous, and destroying the overall image of the ICAC. Third, ICAC can help you first. As for what you can do in the future, it depends on your ability. However, don't let me down."
Zhong Huamin said: "I will do my best to lead the ICAC to do my job well."
Zhu Changluo said: "Okay, that's up to you, it depends on your behavior."
Zhong Huamin said: "I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Then Zhu Changluo turned the topic to Dong Qichang.
Zhu Changluo looked at Dong Qichang and said, "The name of the Anti-Corruption Department is still a little stingy. So, he changed it to the Anti-Corruption Department. Although it is under the Censorate, the Censorate has no right to interfere in the matters of the Anti-Corruption Department. The direct person in charge of the Anti-Corruption Department is Or. Although the responsibilities of the Anti-Corruption Department overlap, the responsibilities of the Anti-Corruption Department are still an independent government office. You can investigate things that the ICAC can investigate, and you can also investigate things that the ICAC cannot investigate. In short, except for the trial of the criminal prison, the Anti-Corruption Department has all the power to investigate. Do you understand this?"
Dong Qichang said excitedly: "I understand."
The power of the Anti-Corruption Department is too great. When Dong Qichang clarified the responsibilities of the Anti-Corruption Department, he felt that the Censorate could close the door.
However, Zhu Changluo did not think so. Zhu Changluo believed that the Censorate was a very important public opinion position. Although the most things he did were all about storm, exaggerated, and personal attacks.
