Eight hundred and fortieth chapters cover opened
Ma Mingyuan was not panicked when he heard so many people standing up to impeach him. If Fang Fengnian stood up and said, Ma Mingyuan was still a little scared because Ma Mingyuan didn't know whether he had occupied the imperial tomb. But now it's different. So many people have stood up to impeach him. This is no longer a matter of whether it is illegal or not. It is already a party dispute.
Ma Mingyuan followed Zhu Hongsan the earliest and knew the emperor the best. What Zhu Hongsan is most afraid of is that the ministers are involved in party affairs. The reason is very simple. You all form gangs and naturally have to oppose my emperor, so Zhu Hongsan is never ruthless in party struggles.
Thinking of this, Ma Mingyuan bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the old minister is incompetent. Your Majesty handed over the government affairs to the old ministers, but the old minister allowed the court officials to form a clique. Please punish the old ministers!"
Ma Mingyuan is definitely a master who is confused and refers to a deer as a horse. Fang Fengnian took the lead, but now he has been overthrown by Ma Mingyuan with a slight word. The emperor hates the ministers to form cliques the most. Now, after Ma Mingyuan said this, he immediately shifted the emperor's attention from his own occupation of the imperial tomb to form cliques.
This will happen in the dynasty that was soon over. Although many officials knew that the court party struggles fiercely, it was the first time that the court bosses had tried to do it with their own eyes. So many officials lined up behind stood up straight and looked forward to see what was going on.
Tong Yangjia, the second assistant behind Ma Mingyuan, was really happy to hear Fang Fengnian standing up to impeach Ma Mingyuan. Ma Mingyuan has developed a lot in the past few years because of the new policy. Tong Yangjia, who had not had many people, became even more cautious, for fear that Ma Mingyuan would catch any handle, so Tong Yangjia has been very angry in the past few years.
Now seeing a traitor in Ma Mingyuan himself, the Minister of Taxation came forward to oppose Ma Mingyuan. Tong Yangjia also prepared to beat the side drum. It would be better to think of a crime that could kill Ma Mingyuan in one go.
But things were going too fast. Before Tong Yangjia could do anything, Ma Mingyuan had already turned around and said that Fang Fengnian and they were engaged in party disputes, and this charge was too great. Tong Yangjia sighed in his heart and was not ready to step forward.
Emperor Zhu Hongsan was also very depressed. Today he had been ill and insisted on going to court. He could finish his business soon and he could go back to the harem to recuperate. But then he knew that Fang Fengnian had such a fuss, how could he be good?
As for what Fang Fengnian said, Zhu Hongsan listened in detail, most of them were stolen. In addition to the eighth article invading the imperial tomb, there were some other things that were missing. In addition, the new policy in Jiangnan is being implemented, so Zhu Hongsan really didn't want to dismiss Ma Mingyuan for such a small matter, which would delay his major affairs.
Zhu Hongsan thought about it and the matter had started. Now all the civil and military officials in the court knew that they had to express their attitude no matter what he said. Zhu Hongsan thought that it would be better to give Ma Mingyuan some trouble and make him feel more at ease.
Just when Zhu Hongsan made up his mind to mix with him, a seventh-rank official stood up at the end of the civil servant team in the square, who was over thirty years old and stood up and shouted: "Your Majesty, I have a copy of the matter!"
The seventh-rank small official was too low, more than 100 meters away from Zhu Hong's three feet. A little yellow goalkeeper was passing information on the side. Zhu Hongsan only knew what the small official was saying.
The little official bowed and walked to Zhu Hongsan Jintai and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I am the Henan inspector of the Censorate, Li Wenxi, has his fortune!"
It turned out to be the censor of the Censorate. Zhu Hongsan thought that this guy was also here to impeach Ma Mingyuan, and he couldn't help but frown and said, "Li Wenxi, today is a grand court meeting, and it is an occasion to discuss the country's major affairs. If you want to impeach someone, please submit a memorial after the court is separated!"
Zhu Hongsan didn't want to make things worse, so he blocked Li Wenxi's way of impeaching Ma Mingyuan as soon as he opened his mouth. Ma Mingyuan was overjoyed when he heard the emperor's protection. It seemed that he should have nothing big to do today.
After finishing his ritual, Li Wenxi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I am not impeachment of the Chief Auxiliary, I am a Henan inspector. I found that there is something wrong with the Henan disaster relief funds!"
Zhu Hongsan frowned when he heard this. The disaster relief funds were allocated by the central government to various places to restore people's livelihood and develop production. Especially Henan, as a place in Zhongzhou, suffered the greatest losses in the war in the late Ming Dynasty. The central government allocated millions of silver dollars to a province of Henan every year. At the same time, Zhu Hongsan knew what kind of virtues the guys under his command, so he issued an order to tell the officials in Henan that the money was the life-saving money of the people and was absolutely not allowed to be misappropriated.
When Zhu Hongsan heard that the Henan officials dared to carry their own disaster relief funds, he was furious and asked: "Li Wenxi, tell me the whole story in detail!"
Li Wenxi bowed to receive the order and said, "Your Majesty, I have received your favor from you. I will be promoted from Kunming Prefecture to the Censor of the Censorate. I am frightened all day long."
Li Wenxi originally wanted to say a few good words first to flatter the emperor, but Zhu Hongsan is anxious now, so he is not in the mood to hear Li Wenxi brag, frown and said, "Speak the key points!"
Seeing that the emperor's tone was not good, Li Wenxi quickly explained the matter. It turned out that after Li Wenxi entered the Censorate, he became the inspector of a province in Henan. After the first year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, it was stipulated that one province should be used as one, and the inspector of the censor was sent to various departments to inspect the administration of officials. He went on an inspection in August every year and was called the inspector of the Censor of the Taiwan Strait. Although the rank of the inspector of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor of the Censor
Li Wenxi took office in December last year. When he sorted out the files left by his ex at the beginning of his tenure, he found that in recent years, there were many differences in the grain funds of Henan Province. After Zhu Hongsan occupied Henan in the sixth year of Shenwu, he began to allocate annual funds to restore Henan's production and social order. This money is divided into three major items, the most important item is the funds for repairing the Yellow River.
Li Zicheng attacked Kaifeng for the third time in the fifteenth year of Chongzhen. Li Zicheng, who had been unable to capture for a long time, decided to dig the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng. Since Li Zicheng dug the Yellow River and flooded Kaifeng City, Kaifeng City was completely deserted. Half of the houses in the city were destroyed, and the tiled houses in the countryside were even more severely destroyed, with only one-tenth of them remaining.
Later, when Kaifeng City was captured, there were almost no living people inside. It is said that a group of people passed through Gushi County, Runing Prefecture, and walked for six days, but no one saw it. During the walk, the weeds on the road grew wildly, as long as six feet long. Pedestrians must each bring a willow stick, not to guard against thieves, but to prevent encounters with wild wolves, so as to use wooden sticks to defend themselves.
The flooding of the Yellow River and the military disasters, Henan Province only had a registered population of more than 400,000 in the sixth year of Shenwu, and even if there were less than one million refugees, it turned out to be like this. Therefore, the first thing Zhu Hongsan did to occupy Henan was to remediate the Yellow River. In order to renovate the river, the Ministry of Finance of the Central Committee of the People's Republic of China began in the seventh year of Shenwu, and it was used to repair the rivers and control the yellow flood zone. This year was the eleventh year of Shenwu, which means that a total of five million silver dollars had been allocated for five years.
The money was thrown down and the effect was achieved. Henan Governor Wu Peichang wrote a letter to the emperor, saying that the Yellow River had basically been managed in Henan Province, the water in the Yellow River area had been drained, and local farmers had begun to resume production. Zhu Hongsan was very happy to see this effect, and he issued an order to praise Wu Peichang at that time.
In addition to renovating the river, there are two major projects to resettle immigrants and rebuild new cities. Henan's population suffered heavy losses in the war, so Zhu Hongsan ordered immigrants from provinces with relatively large populations such as Jiangxi, Shandong, and Beizhili. In order to resettle these immigrants, hundreds of thousands of silver dollars were spent every year. There are also cities, Kaifeng, Luoyang, Nanyang, Henan, and Xinyang, which was slaughtered by Zhu Hongsan. The walls of these cities must be renovated. At the same time, repairing the city walls can also create jobs for those immigrants. Zhu Hongsan, who came from later generations, naturally had to play the magical tool of infrastructure projects to drive the economy.
These three major projects have swallowed tens of millions of silver dollars in the past five years. Originally, Zhu Hongsan thought that Henan people would at least live and work in peace and contentment, and could have a full meal! But now, Li Wenxi said that there was a problem with the tens of millions of silver dollars he had invested. How could this make Zhu Hongsan, who claims to be the emperor of the ages, swallow this breath?
Li Wenxi finally said: "Your Majesty, I am the inspector of Henan, and checking the accounts is a matter of duty. Henan has received funds from the seventh year of Shenwu. It was 1.48 million silver dollars in the seventh year of Shenwu, 1.6 million silver dollars in the eighth year of Shenwu, 2.4 million silver dollars in the nineth year of Shenwu, and 3 million silver dollars in the tenth year of Shenwu. From July this year, 1.8 million silver dollars have been allocated, and a total of 1.028 million silver dollars in five years. However, the accounts reported by Henan Province only had 6.513128 silver dollars, and there were 3.7666872 silver dollars in the absence of 3.766872 silver dollars. At the same time, I saw on the account that I used more than 2.5 million silver dollars in the Kaifeng section of the Yellow River. This is really too much. As Your Majesty's Censor, I have to share your worries for Your Majesty, so I report these matters to Your Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to make a clear decision!"
After Li Wenxi finished speaking, he stepped down to this class. His task had been completed. The next step depends on the Guangdong Party.
