When Zhao Junchen and Zhou Shangjing came to the door of the imperial study with their respective henchmen, they found that the crown prince Zhu Heyu, the first assistant Shen Changmao, and the military department Shangshu Wang Shou and others had been waiting there for a while. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Seeing that the cabinet ministers, the six Shangshu, and the crown prince Zhu and Yu had arrived, Zhang Xiu, the eunuch of the imperial study, hurriedly reported the news to Emperor Deqing, and then the core ministers of the temple were soon summoned by Emperor Deqing.

After entering the imperial study, I saw that Emperor Deqing's expression was quite serious, and he raised his hand and said, "You don't have to salute, this is Huang Yourong's secret sent from Nanzhili, you all take a look!" This is a very important matter, and I can't be arbitrary, and I need to listen to your opinions. ”

As Emperor Deqing's words fell, the eunuch Zhang Xiu handed over Huang Yourong's secret to the hands of Shen Changmao, the first assistant.

After Shen Changmao carefully read Huang Yourong's secrets, his expression changed drastically, and after glancing at Zhao Junchen in the distance from the corner of his eye, he handed over this note to the crown prince Zhu Heyu.

After the crown prince Zhu Heyu finished reading the dense sparse, his expression was solemn, and he handed over this recital to the elder Zhou Shangjing......

Soon, everyone in the imperial study saw Huang Yourong's secret, but their expressions were different, some had cold expressions, some people looked excited, and some people looked uneasy, but no one spoke up first to show their attitude.

The content of Huang Yourong's secret is too amazing, it is actually the impeachment of the Nanjing Sixth Department for secretly supporting smuggling, colluding with smuggling businessmen to murder important ministers of the imperial court, and also secretly having close contacts with several vassal kings!

Each of these charges is enough to shock the government and the opposition, and together they are a big trouble!

If ordinary people commit these crimes, the important ministers will inevitably come out one after another and strongly demand that the court severely punish them, but these things involve the six departments of Nanjing and the Eight Kings Ship, all of which are behemoths that are not easy to provoke, so several important ministers present are silent, everyone is waiting for others to speak first, and they are shrinking behind to watch the wind.

In the end, in a silent atmosphere, this secret was handed over to Zhao Junchen.

After seeing the content of this recital, Zhao Junchen seemed to be completely unaware of it in advance, and his face also changed greatly, and he seemed to be very shocked.

Then, Zhao Junchen's expression gradually became a little angry, but he first showed his attitude.

I saw that Zhao Junchen seemed to have been greatly wronged, his expression was quite excited, and he said loudly: "Your Majesty, since the assassination of the gangsters, the minister has been in fear day and night, and he doesn't know who he has offended, so he let the other party use such drastic means to deal with Yu Chen, and although the three law divisions, two factories and one guard, and Shuntianfu have been fully investigating, they have never had any clues, but they didn't expect that in the end, Huang Ge Lao found the real culprit in Nanzhili, and the main messenger of all this turned out to be the sixth department of Nanjing!" Your Majesty, the Sixth Department of Nanjing actually colluded with smugglers to murder and assassinate the ministers in order to rectify the matter of commercial taxes, this kind of thing has never been done in ancient times! Your Majesty! The minister almost lost his life at the beginning, you must administer justice for the minister! ”

Seeing Zhao Junchen's performance like this, and Zhao Junchen did have a reason in this matter, so Emperor Deqing had to speak out of relief, and said: "Zhao Aiqing doesn't have to be so angry, if this matter is indeed related to the Six Divisions of Nanjing, then I will definitely uphold justice for you!" ”

At the same time, with Zhao Junchen's first statement and Emperor Deqing's relief, it also set the tone for Huang Yourong's impeachment of the Nanjing Sixth Ministry.

Seeing that Emperor Deqing's attitude was lenient and seemed to have the intention of conniving at himself, Zhao Junchen took advantage of the situation and said: "Your Majesty, the annual tax collected by the Nanjing household department accounts for as much as half of the imperial court's fiscal revenue, and not only controls all the taxes and grains in Jiangnan and nearby places, but also controls the southern Caoyun, and the national salt introduction survey and the national yellow book are also in its hands; It can be said that the power of Nanjing's household department is still above the capital's household department! Your Majesty, it's just that the ministers have been wronged, but the six departments of Nanjing already have such great power, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is another center of the imperial court, but they are still not satisfied, and they dare to manipulate smuggling, murder ministers, and collude with vassal kings, if this goes on for a long time, who knows what else they will do! Your Majesty, the minister will boldly say today, the Nanjing Six Ministries are so rampant, sooner or later they will be too big to fall, and it is necessary to have some restrictions, or even directly take back all the authority of the Nanjing Six Ministries to the capital! I hope that Your Majesty will be clear! ”

As Zhao Junchen's words fell, everyone present had their expressions moving.

Especially the six scholars, their expressions were all a little excited.

Once the authority of the Sixth Department of Nanjing is withdrawn, then the biggest beneficiary will naturally be them.

I saw Song Qiwen, the secretary of the ministry, stepping forward, and said with a serious expression: "Your Majesty, the authority of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials is also very great, responsible for the Beijing inspection and examination of the officials of the Southern Zhili, the Beijing Ministry of Officials has always had no right to interfere, many southern officials are from the Jiangnan Gongyuan, and now they have become a faction of their own, and it is also difficult for the Beijing Officials to intervene, it has been quite inconvenient for hundreds of years, and even the government decrees cannot be unified, so how to maintain the stability of the country?" The minister thinks that what Lord Zhao said is reasonable, if Huang Gelao's several impeachments are true, then the Nanjing Sixth Department must be strictly investigated! It is also possible to take the opportunity to rectify the six departments of Nanjing and completely recover the authority of the six departments of Nanjing! ”

As Song Qiwen's words fell, Zuo Lanshan, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Bochong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Lin Wei, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Wang Shou, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also came out to express their support, suggesting that Emperor Deqing severely punish the six departments of Nanjing, and take back the authority of the six departments of Nanjing to the center of the capital.

As the six Shangshu have expressed their positions, they have also completely set the tone for this matter!

After seeing the change in the direction of the wind, Emperor Deqing's eyes also flashed with a hint of joy.

Taking back the authority of the six ministries in Nanjing, for the Deqing Emperor is to strengthen the centralization of power, which is naturally a great benefit, and now seeing that the six Shangshu have supported such a view, the Deqing Emperor is also very satisfied.

However, Emperor Deqing still did not express his attitude, but his expression was a little hesitant.

For hundreds of years, the successive emperors of the Ming Dynasty tried to take power from the six departments of Nanjing many times, but in the end they all failed, and this matter is by no means as simple as imagined.

Because of Huang Yourong's impeachment, Emperor Deqing did find a suitable excuse, but if he wants to deal with a behemoth like Nanjing Liubu, he still needs more preparation!
