Chapter 151: The Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry clear their accounts at the same time!
Zhu Youtang was furious. All matters in Bianzhen were related to the internal peace and stability of Ming Dynasty.
The border towns of the Ming Dynasty are the enemies of the Ming Emperor. Anyone who dares to cause trouble in the border towns will only die!
But the generals in the border towns all have soldiers under their command.
Every large border town has at least more than 100,000 troops stationed below.
If the issue of side generals is not handled well, the Ming Dynasty will be in big trouble!
"Which generals in the Xuan Mansion were involved in smuggling?"
Zhu Youtang's voice was low and full of anger.
When Mou Bin heard this, he felt even more frightened and quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
“We haven’t found out yet, but the eldest son of the head of the Wang family, who was caught by the white tiger, couldn’t stand the punishment and died!”
"The Jin Yiwei is incompetent, please punish me!"
After Mu Bin finished speaking, he knocked his head hard on the ground.
Zhu Youtang took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, closed his eyes and meditated.
The border of Xuanfu was involved in smuggling, and among the smuggled items were armor and firearms.
Only the Ministry of Industry of the Ming Dynasty can make these things, only the Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty can allocate money for their manufacture, and only the Ministry of War of the Ming Dynasty can decide where these things go.
If Xuanfu's generals were smuggling firearms and armor on a large scale, then the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Household Affairs would definitely not be able to escape their involvement!
Zhu Youtang opened his eyes, looked at Mou Bin, and quickly gave a few orders.
"Go and call me Liu Jin, the director of the Dongchang Factory, and Tu Jing, the censor of the Zuodu Procuratorate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Mou Bin accepted the order and quickly left Hongde Hall.
Later, Zhu Youtang handed the written edict to Wang Zhi and ordered: "Let Xuchang immediately return to the court and come back as quickly as possible!"
"Remember, don't leave the Hami Guards Enter the customs and let him leave the customs Cross the grassland and enter the pass from Xuan Mansion! "
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Wang directly passed the imperial edict formulated by Zhu Youtang, saluted respectfully, and immediately took Zhu with him. He left according to Youtang's order.
On the other side, Mou Bin also sent his Jin Yiwei to deliver the order to summon Zhu Youtang to Liu Jin and Tu Yu.
After Liu Jin got the order from Zhu Youtang to summon him, he was so happy that he quickly put down what he was doing and ran over.
Liu Jin has not been in charge of Dongchang for a long time, and he only did some daily work to deal with the aftermath. Now he is in urgent need of a major case to help him establish his prestige in Dongchang.
Now that he has received an urgent summons from Zhu Youtang, his intuition tells him that a major case will happen.
And Dongchang is the first choice to handle this case.
Thinking of this, Liu Jin couldn't restrain the excitement in her heart.
Compared to Liu Jin's excitement, Tu Yu had more doubts in his heart, and even a little fear.
Since Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, he has always used factory guards to monitor officials. The power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been greatly weakened.
But today, Zhu Youtang suddenly summoned him to the palace to discuss matters.
That can only mean that this matter is very important, and it is so serious that even factory guards alone cannot solve it.
Thinking of this, Tu Yun’s steps couldn’t help but feel a little heavy.
But no matter how heavy it was, Tu Tong still walked into Hongde Hall and came to Zhu Youtang.
"The humble minister Tu Jun, pay homage to your majesty!"
"No courtesy."
"Thank you, your majesty."
Tu Jun stood up and then It was discovered that Liu Jin, the director of the East Factory, was also in the room.
Tu Tong was even more confused. What kind of thing could make Zhu Youtang use two major supervisory agencies at the same time?
Zhu Youtang did not hesitate, but directly gave the order to Liu Jin and Tu Yu at the same time.
"You, the Procuratorate and Dongchang, immediately send out personnel to the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry to check the accounts of the past ten years."
"Only check the relevant accounts. armor, firearms The number of munitions of this category, sort out all the information related to the munitions, and make a separate volume!"
"Check it as quickly as possible. I will receive this information in two hours."
After Zhu Youtang finished speaking, Tu Tong looked horrified and his eyes widened unconsciously.
His Majesty also inspected the three major departments: the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry.
This... this will be another bloody storm!
The capital has only been peaceful for a few days, is Your Majesty going to kill people and bleed them like rivers again? !
Tu Yan’s face looked ugly, but Liu Jin smiled broadly.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
"Dongchang will definitely investigate these three departments thoroughly. Any corruption and perversion of the law will be investigated by my servant..."
"Insolent! I Only I asked you to check the arms accounts, but who asked you to check other things?"
Liu Jin flattered Ma's legs. When he saw Zhu Youtang getting angry, Liu Jin's body softened and he knelt down very smoothly.
"Yes, yes, yes, the slave only checks the arms accounts, never random checks! Never random checks!"
Liu Jin turned pale and broke into a cold sweat.
Liu Jin definitely works hard, but the problem is that he works too hard.
If the case is found to be neither serious nor serious, I would like to arrest all the officials in the world and imprison them in Dongchang Prison.
So Zhu Youtang could only beat him in advance to make him restrain himself.
Zhu Youtang's angry rebuke awakened the shocked Tu Feng, who quickly received the order: "Yes, Your Majesty."
"I will go back to the Metropolitan Procuratorate to organize manpower and station in the three yamen for review."
"Well, remember, you, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, must work together with Dongchang Fanzi, and we must not work alone. Action."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Wei Chen resigned."
Tu Jie secretly sighed. It seems that Your Majesty still trusts these factory guards. Some of them. "Then Your Majesty, my servant has also resigned."
“Back off.”
After Liu Jin kowtowed, he quickly left the Hongde Hall.
After leaving Zhu Youtang’s sight, Liu Jin felt relaxed.
But he did not dare to neglect Zhu Youtang's order, and immediately went back to Dongchang to organize manpower.
After Tu Yu left the Hongde Hall, he immediately returned to the Metropolitan Procuratorate, preparing to organize all the imperial censors in the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
After Liu Jin and Tu Yu left, Zhu Youtang gave the order again.
"Fu Dahai!"
"No! The slave is here!"
Fu Dahai, who was guarding outside Hongde Hall, heard Zhu Youtang's call and hurriedly Walked in front of Zhu Youtang.
"Go and call me Xu Pu, the Minister of Household Affairs, Liu Daxia, the Minister of War, and Jia Jun, the Minister of Industry."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Sign of receipt of the order Dahai immediately took the order and left, asking the eunuchs of the Supervisor of Ceremonies to invite the three ministers.
After Huai En's death, the position of the eunuch in charge of the ceremony has been undecided.
This is the Twelve Prisoners of the Inner Palace, the highest official position among the twenty-four yamen. Everyone in the palace is staring at it.
Now, Fu Dahai, the eunuch in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, is the most popular person in front of the emperor and the most likely eunuch to get this position.
So when he summoned the little eunuchs who were in charge of rituals, those little eunuchs were also very obedient, and no one dared not to listen.
When the little eunuch in charge of the ceremony brought the order from His Majesty to the three ministers.
The three ministers who were summoned urgently felt a little heavy.
They instinctively felt that something big had happened.
And based on past experience, when something big happens in the capital, their civil servant group will be the first to bear the brunt.
They were both confused about what kind of big event had happened, and they were also afraid that what happened this time would affect them.
But no matter what, they rushed to the palace as soon as possible.
After entering the palace gate, on the way to Hongde Hall, the three ministers came together in a tacit understanding.
“Xu Shoufu, Liu Shangshu, do you know why His Majesty summoned us to the palace to meet the Holy Spirit?”
Jia Jun shrank his neck, put his hands in his hands, and his whole body trembled slightly.
Now is the snowmelt season, the coldest time of the year.
Jia Jun looked like this. He didn’t know whether he was frozen or frightened.
Jia Jun seems to have become much less courageous since the last incident where Zhu Youtang repaired the palace.
Xu Pu shook his head: "Xie Qian is on duty today. I am not in the palace and I have not received any news."
"To be honest, I feel a little unsure now."
Liu Daxia also frowned: "We have a Minister of the Ministry of War, a Minister of the Ministry of Husbandry, and a Minister of the Ministry of Industry. His Majesty summoned three ministers at one go. "
"I think... this trip is extremely dangerous."
The three of them walked and chatted. Even though they had millions of reluctances, they had to bite the bullet. Enter Hongde Hall.
"The humble ministers Xu Pu, Liu Daxia, and Jia Jun pay homage to Your Majesty."
The three people came to Zhu Youtang and saluted respectfully.
"Without courtesy, I will grant you a seat."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
The three of them stood up and sat down. Even if they had all kinds of doubts in their hearts, they could only feel uneasy. , waiting for Zhu Youtang to speak.
Zhu Youtang looked at the senior officials in front of him, his expression returning to normal.
He took a memorial next to him and asked casually: "The officials have impeached the governor of Ganzhou and took a day off for no reason."
"How do you think this matter should be dealt with?"
The three ministers looked at each other. For such a trivial matter, does your majesty still need to mobilize the troops and find three ministers to hold a three-book review?
But Zhu Youtang asked, and they had to answer, so they had to bite the bullet, analyze the pros and cons in a serious manner, and give suggestions.
While the three ministers were in the Hongde Hall, Liu Jin and Tu Yu had already organized manpower in Dongchang and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
East Factory.
Liu Jin summoned 900 Dongchang fans and divided them into three groups, led by himself, Zhang Yong and Ma Yongcheng respectively.
"Zhang Yong, you take a team of policemen to go to the Hubu Yamen to check the accounts."
"Ma Yongcheng, you also bring a team of policemen to the Works Department Yamen to check the accounts."< br>
“The remaining people, come with our family to the Ministry of War Yamen to check the accounts!”
"Remember, the only thing missing is the accounts related to arms!"
"Yes, Mr. Factory Supervisor!"
Liu Jin gave the order, and the third team of Dongchang fans immediately dispatched quickly and went straight to the Sixth Department Go to the Yamen.
In the Duchayuan, Tu Jian also gathered, and all the censors who were still in the Duchayuan gathered.
At the same time, they were also divided into three groups. The censor of Qiandu on the left led a team to check the accounts of the Hubu Yamen, and the censor of Qiandu on the right led a team to check the accounts of the Yamen of the Ministry of Works.
As for himself, he led a team to inspect the accounts of the Ministry of War Yamen.
After assigning the tasks, Tu Jian led the group of censors out of the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and walked towards the Liubu Yamen.
The censors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the gangsters from Dongchang met on Qipan Street where the Liubu Yamen was located.
Liu Jin and Tu Jian cupped their hands and walked into the three yamen of the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of War, and the Ministry of Industry with a tacit understanding, and began to clear their accounts!
