Chapter 607: The Master and the Apprentice are in conflict

Author: Beicheng 2,000

"The people in Nanjing have moved tens of thousands of people, and the people in the city are less than one and six million..."

On the fifth day after the Mid-Autumn Festival, Zhu Youjian received the message from Zhu Youxiao from Nanjing.

He only read the beginning of the message, but he did not read the following things.

Because at this moment, he needs to look up at the group of cabinet ministers in front of him.

"Chen Qiyu, Zhou Yanru!"

"The official is here..."

When Zhu Youjian spoke out the names of Chen Qiyu and Zhou Yanru, Sun Chengzong and others in Chengyun Hall of the Qi Palace had a bad premonition.

"The Military and Horses Department, don't the yamen runners focus on governing the city's security? Now, do they need to take action even to drive away the hungry people? There is really no one available in my Ming Dynasty..."

As soon as Zhu Youjian spoke, Chen Qiyu and Zhou Yanru admitted defeat.

They had no idea about the military commander and the yamen runners driving away the hungry people in the city, and this time they were dragged down again.

"Your Highness, the emperor doesn't know..."

"Your Highness, the emperor doesn't know..."

Chen Qiyu and Zhou Yanru sat in their seats, bowed and honestly said that they didn't know about this, and said with aside the relationship:

"The military and horse officials and yamen runners in Nanjing City and Nanzhili are all under the responsibility of the Nanjing Ministry of War and Nanjing Ministry of Justice, and the Northern Zhili has no jurisdiction."

The topic touches the Ming Dynasty's two capital system, which makes people feel a bit tricky.

But that was someone else, not him, Zhu Youjian.

"Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting..."

"The official is here."

As soon as the matter was involved in Nanzhili, everyone knew that Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou were involved, because one was the Minister of War in Nanjing and the other was the Minister of Personnel in Nanjing.

"So I'm waiting here..."

Zhou Yanru and Wen Tiren narrowed their eyes. It seemed that Zhu Youjian didn't know about Nanjing, but Zhu Youjian was going to hand over Nanjing affairs to Sun Chuanting and Hong Chengchou.

If this matter is done, perhaps it is when they serve as the chief assistant and the second assistant.

Sun Chuanting was fine, but he still looked so serious, but although Hong Chengchou's face was neither sad nor happy, Zhou Yanru and the others could feel his joy.

For them, if Hong Chengchou is the chief minister, they can still accept it, but if it is Sun Chuanting, it will not work...

Everyone in the world still remembers what Sun Chuanting did...

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru and others looked at Sun Chuanting, and Zhu Youjian also spoke:

"Let your two go to Nanzhili to inspect and rectify the local administration, and there must be no mistakes!"

"Give up the official to receive the order..."

Zhu Youjian usurped the enemy. When the Ming Dynasty had an emperor and a state of regent, he actually ordered an order to mobilize cabinet ministers as a vassal king. This is probably the first time in the history of the Ming Dynasty.

"I will inspect all provinces in the world after the 23rd year of the Tianqi period, and will take the vassal states on the winter solstice of the 23rd year of the Tianqi period. The cabinet will write a note to the world!"

Zhu Youjian spoke instantly, which caught everyone off guard.

More importantly, he did not give everyone time to react, and after saying that, he stood up and signaled to leave.

During this process, everyone was shocked, especially Chengde, who was sitting among the ministers, tightly clenched his clothes, obviously feeling very uncomfortable.

"The officials...receive orders."

When Sun Chengzong, as the chief minister of the cabinet, felt very uncomfortable when he heard that Zhu Youjian was about to become a vassal.

It is true that he is the Donglin Party, but he is a practical faction in Donglin and is not favored by other Donglin civil officials who value literary talent.

When Zhu Youxiao and the two brothers cleared the party, although he survived, he was in panic all day long. It was not until he was appointed as the chief minister of the cabinet that he breathed a little relieved.

He knew that Zhu Youjian made himself a cabinet master just a transition, with the purpose of paving the way for Hong Chengchou and others.

He had no complaints about this, after all, he felt that no matter what Zhu Youjian did, he was for the people of the world.

But at present, the burden of the Ming Dynasty is still very heavy, and his disciple and his children cannot bear such heavy burdens.

Just one natural disaster is enough to crush the Ming Dynasty...

Zhu Youjian left Chengyun Hall first, and his behavior was a bit like escaping, leaving everyone confused.

"There are really people in the world who are not greedy for power?" Even people who are as obsessed with power as Wen Tiren can't help but feel a little dazed.

He knew that if this news spread, except for some Yanshan officials who were loyal to the King of Qi, most of them would celebrate the title of the King of Qi to celebrate the title of the King of Qi.

"The price of wine in Beijing is probably going to rise..."

Sighing, Wen Tiren left Chengyun Hall first, and other officials with their heads bowed.

Whether it is Sun Chengzong, Hong Chengchou, Sun Chuanting, Chen Qiyu, Zhou Yanru, Li Changgeng, Chengde, or Cao Huachun who is guarding the Chengyun Hall...

In short, everyone has a sense of inreality.

Zhu Youjian, the King of Qi who had been fighting for so many years, finally announced that he was leaving?

Could this be a fake move and then a major case is being planned?

Everyone was in a daze and didn't know how they left the Qi Palace, how they returned home, how they changed their clothes...

For example, when Sun Chuanting came to his senses, it was already dark.

"This matter is probably not that easy..."

As Sun Chuanting's aide and also the Left Minister of War of the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Qi had thought for a long time and told Sun Chuanting who had come to his senses:

"I have been to the capital for so long, but I haven't seen anything else. I can see those officials from Shan Yanshan who are in groups of people on duty every day."

"The lower officials have reviewed the documents of the Military Affairs Department, and then they found that the 600,000 generals of the dynasty's military officers were all generals related to the Yanshan Sect."

"This is just the military commander. The officials suspected that the situation in the military and the Ministry of Personnel was more serious than this."

Zhou Qi said something he saw for so long.

For some people, it seems that they can learn about these things by just opening their mouths, such as Zhu Youjian.

But the problem is that the people below will also deceive their superiors and conceal their subordinates. These are the reasons why the Jinyiwei did not report internal corruption back then.

It is not difficult to sort out the relationship between each government office, but the difficulty lies in sorting out the relationship between each person.

"In your opinion, how powerful is the Yanshan Sect officials?"

Sun Chuanting felt the problem was difficult. Six hundred thousand soldiers and horses were not a small number.

He asked Zhou Xi for questioning him. In the face of his inquiry, Zhou Xi frowned and said:

"I have been investigating for several years. The Yanshan School has developed to this day. It is no longer a simple relationship between the Yanshan School or the Yanshan School."

"After the Yanshan Academy was closed, Yanshan officials have already begun to plan how to obtain fresh blood."

"The easiest and most direct way is to cultivate it from the official school."

"Since the teaching of official schools is basically taught from Yanshan, it is easy for them to instill their own ideas in the following students."

"Isn't this practice explicitly prohibited by His Highness the King of Qi?" Sun Chuanting couldn't help but clenched his fists.

"It is explicitly prohibited." Zhou Wei nodded in agreement, but then said:

"But according to the officials, the Jinyiwei, who is responsible for supervision in the official school, has been replaced by a group of people."

"If you don't talk about the people below, even the Jinyiwei North and North Fushi Office, it is hard to say whether the Yanshan Sect took the initiative to support him."

"Their people are everywhere, and every yamen has their own people."

"If they want to train a Jinyiwei, they just need to keep feeding the credit."

"The easiest credit for this is that the officials of the Censorate handed over the news to the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei reported it, and then the governor ordered an investigation."

"It is enough to take action between the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, the Censorate and the Four Divisions of the Jinyiwei Department, and finally hand over the credit to the officials of the Jinyiwei."

Speaking of this, Zhou Xi said regretfully: "The power of the subordinates is insufficient, and they cannot investigate the news about the other six ministries and the Censorate and the Jinyiwei, so they can only learn about this."

"I understand..." After hearing Zhou Qi say that he could only understand this, Sun Chuanting understood that the network of relationships compiled by the Yanshan School was probably not as small as they thought.

"In recent years, there have been many officials arrested by the Yanshan Sect, but they have never been involved in the Censorate, Cheng De, Li Demao, Zhang Maocai and others."

Sun Chuanting thought that compared with other parties, the Yanshan faction has indeed been much more honest and stable in recent years, and it seems that many corrupt officials have been found by the Jinyiwei every year.

From the surface, it seems that this is a manifestation of the blow to the Yanshan faction and a manifestation of their current sluggishness.

But is the truth really the same as what their eyes see?

"Do you think Your Highness know about this?"

Sun Chuanting asked Zhou Xi, but when faced with this problem, Zhou Xi seemed a little hesitant.

The two sat in the study, and the dim candlelight brought by the oil lamp made them silent for a moment.

After a while, Zhou Xi hesitated and said, "In the past, Emperor Taizu Gao, Emperor Qin Shi, and Emperor Xiaowu of Han would be deceived by others, let alone His Highness?"
