"Impeachment?" Zhu Yujian's eyelids jumped.

Su Chengyu, Zhu Jizuo and the others couldn't help frowning and looked at Hong Xu.

"According to the minister's investigation, Chen Wangfu violated the regulations by building a five-masted sailing ship for sea transportation and carrying prohibited goods."

There was an uproar in the court.

Although the sea was banned at the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were many restrictions, such as not using sailing ships with more than three masts, not trading with Japan, not carrying military goods, and so on. But in fact, the Longwu Dynasty has been very loose in controlling these, especially Zheng Zhilong, a big smuggler, who took the lead in violating the rules, and the so-called regulations have long existed in name only.

However, the rules are the rules, and when they come to the court to speak, no one dares to say that they will turn a blind eye.

Chen Wangfu's family property was in Nanyang, and the Longwu Dynasty was so poor that he couldn't make much money, so after arriving in Fujian, the palace bought a boat, relied on water to draft, and ran away from maritime trade subsidies. It's just that the ship is a little bigger, and no one cares about it at all.

He Kai, the head of the household department, immediately said: "Hong Xu, you are even in charge of violating the system?" ”

Zhu Jizuo also continued: "Zhong Zhenbo, it is a matter of clan relatives, and you must not say anything." ”

Long Wuwen only felt that his head was bigger, and he stared at Hong Xu, "You, do you have any evidence?" ”

"The ship is in Moon Harbor." Hong Xu said confidently, "The evidence is conclusive. ”

In fact, he was not sure whether the Wangfu's ship was docked, but the Zheng clan had a large fleet in his hands, and it was easy to intercept a merchant ship. As for the prohibited items, the boat has been detained, and he is afraid that the things he wants will not be found?

"The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people. Ministers, please cut the Viscount of Chen Wangshi and ban him! ”

"Please raid Chen Wang's Mansion and count the illegal gains."

"The minister seconded the proposal."

"Minister......

Suddenly, a group of people jumped out and said with great righteousness.

Su Chengyu's heart was full of sorrow and anger, and a big reason for the rapid decline in the late Ming Dynasty was that the whole country was in a state of internal friction. Regardless of whether everything is right or wrong, it only depends on whether it is one's own party and how many things are bad on it. However, I didn't expect it to fall on my head today.

Soon, a large number of people had already knelt down in front of Fengtianmen, all of which asked for the impeachment of Prince Chen, the reduction of the knight, the imprisonment and the like.

Zhu Jizuo, He Kai and others struggled to argue, but because Hong Xu's evidence was conclusive, they were overwhelmed for a while.

After such a stalemate, I don't know how long, the Zheng clan's henchmen bit to death, and Zhu Yujian just didn't give an order, seeing that a group of civil and military officials planned to wait for lunch outside Fengtianmen.

At this moment, Zodiac Zhou stepped out of class and coughed lightly.

Suddenly, the court fell silent, and countless eyes fell on this nominally the most powerful official of the Longwu Dynasty.

Huang Daozhou squinted at Hong Xu and said slowly: "The minister thinks that if it is true that Chen Wangfu violated the sea system, he should be punished." ”

All Wenwu was so shocked that his eyes were about to fall, Huang Daozhou can be regarded as Longwu's henchman, why did he wear a pair of pants with Zheng today?!

Although Wang Zhongxiao was also puzzled, his words were obviously beneficial to him, so he immediately continued: "The minister seconded the proposal." ”

"It's just ......" Huang Daozhou looked embarrassed, "If we cut the knight and ban us, I'm afraid Zhejiang will see our jokes." ”

Everyone nodded, King Lu is digging each other with the Longwu Dynasty right now, and he must be happy to see the jokes on Longwu's side.

"That can't just be done." Hong Xu said coldly.

Huang Daozhou nodded, "The minister thinks that in order to warn the officials of the current dynasty to be in a positive manner, the prince of Chen Wang can be demoted to the king of the county and sent out of Fujing." ”

Emperor Longwu is going to be angry, and his heart says Zodiac Zhou, you are old and confused? Turning to think of Zhu Linmiao's words in the imperial study a few days ago, he confronted the Zodiac Monday, and suddenly shouted terrible, how could he not have found that this old man was so narrow-minded before!

"In order to block the gossip of King Lu," Huang Daozhou continued, "but the prince of Chen was ordered to work in various places south of the Yangtze River. ”

Hong Xu nodded secretly, thinking to himself that Huang Daozhou probably saw that today's events could not be easily revealed, and he would save some face for the emperor. If you go to all parts of the Jiangnan to work in the army, you won't be able to run away in a few years, which is equivalent to driving Chen Wang Shizi away from Fujing. That's not bad, and the emperor's side won't be stiff anymore.

Thinking of this, he threw his hand at the Zodiac Monday, "This is very appropriate." Then he asked, "How does the elder plan to arrange the battalion of soldiers who are preparing to reinforce Jiangxi?" ”

"Even if it is to reinforce Jiangxi, why don't you set off immediately and open up southern Jiangxi."

Hong Xu was overjoyed, he didn't expect Huang Daozhou to cooperate so much today, and kicked out of Fujing the soldiers that Longwu wanted to train and the prince of Chen Wang, could it be that this old man wanted to change the court?

He waved his hand at the moment and said, "The old man of the Yellow Pavilion is serious, and Ben Bo seconded it. ”

Su Chengyu was depressed, he wanted to save Huang Daozhou's life, but he didn't expect to attract such revenge, he, the head of the cabinet, set the tone, I'm afraid that the court will never be able to turn it over again.

"It's just," Huang Daozhou looked at Hong Xu and hesitated, "This labor army has to bring some silver." ”

Hong Xu smiled and said: "The minister asks the household department to allocate five thousand taels to the labor army of King Chen's son." ”

He Kai looked at him coldly, and his tone was full of sarcasm, "How come I didn't know that there were five thousand taels of silver in the account of the household department?" ”

Hong Xu waved his hand generously, "It will be soon." ”

Huang Daozhou coughed dryly, "How can five thousand taels of silver be enough for this labor army in all parts of the south of the Yangtze River?" The old minister thought that it would be at least thirty or forty thousand taels. ”

Hong Xu was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, where are you this old guy? finally gritted his teeth and said: "Eight thousand taels, tomorrow's water salary of eight thousand taels will be allocated to the household, and there will be no more." ”

Water salary is a kind of customs tariff, which has always been controlled by Zheng Zhilong.

Huang Daozhou was no longer entangled, turned to Zhu Yujian and said, "Please also ask the Holy Lord to decide." ”

Zheng Dang's people didn't know if Huang Daozhou was dizzy, but obviously the form was beneficial to his side, Hong Xu also nodded, so a large group of people hurriedly came out and knelt on the ground.

"Please decide!"

Zhu Yujian leaned listlessly on the dragon chair, even Huang Daozhou said so, what else could he do? Let Zheng Zhilong and his party pinch it flat.

"Please decide!" Another cry.

After a while, Zhu Yujian sighed helplessly, "That's it, just do it according to Huang Daozhou's proposal." Then he got up, snorted heavily, and walked angrily towards the apse.

Only then did a large group of civil and military officials kneeling below stand up contentedly. This time, with a little trivial matter, a prince was brought down, and this court is already the world of the Zheng family!

After the court was dispersed, the Zheng family and his party happily went out of the noon gate.

Su Chengyu stood under the scorching sun, with mixed feelings in his heart, he originally wanted to save Daming from danger, but now it has become a dream of Nanke.

In the imperial study, Zhu Yujian was losing his temper, so he listened to Pang Tianshou cautiously, "Your Majesty, Huang Daozhou, a cabinet scholar, asks to see you." ”

Zhu Yujian was about to say, "Let him go", but saw that Huang Daozhou had already come in by himself.

He knelt down and saluted, smiling, "Congratulations to the Holy One." ”

Zhu Yujian forced himself to suppress the words "congratulations on the fart" that rushed to his chest, and listened to Huang Daozhou continue: "The sky is high and the birds can fly, and the sea is wide with the fish jumping." ”

Long Wu looked at him and wondered, "What did you say?" ”

"Your Majesty, you want to jump out of Fujing but you can't get out. Now that the prince of Chen is out, isn't it the same? ”

Zhu Yujian was stunned for a moment, and then pointed at the zodiac and smiled.
