As the commander of the Jinyiwei, Qin Maosheng knew that once the case was sent to the imperial court, it would inevitably be another bloody storm. Moreover, this case involved Zhou Kui, the father-in-law of the country.

It was really a wave of failure and the Japanese case had not yet been settled. The emperor was ready to use troops to Yingdao, and at this time, the corruption case of Shangshenjian appeared again.

This case actually involved the father-in-law. He was the biological father of Empress Zhou and Zhu Cixuan's biological grandfather. According to the Ming Dynasty, Zhou Kui was going to be beheaded.

Once the emperor's imperial edict is revealed, it needs to be reported in time. Qin Mao, who was in a heavy mood, went to the palace with a slight tone.

Zhu Cixuan found that he was getting more and more idle recently. As an emperor, he should have been diligent in government affairs. He worked hard day and night like his father, but at the beginning he was really busy.

He knew people and made good use of them. Later, Zhu Cilang simply pushed many government affairs to the cabinet. The cabinet ministers selected by himself discussed and decided.

Zhu Cilang only needs to go to the cabinet to check regularly to see if there is any problem with the memorials reviewed by the cabinet ministers. This surprised Zhu Cilang. The efficiency of the cabinet was surprisingly high.

The cabinet system was an illegal consultative body for the emperors who were established during the reign of Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. Later, the power increased and gradually became the administrative center of the Ming Dynasty. It was conducive to the emperor's concentration of military and political power in his hands, making the monarchy unprecedentedly strengthened. The number of auxiliary ministers in the cabinet ranged from one to seven. The auxiliary ministers were envoys to do business outside, and most of them called themselves the cabinet ministries.

It has to be said that this cabinet system is indeed a very big improvement, which has made the emperor no longer too busy or abandoned the government. As long as the handling is done properly, the efficiency of the cabinet ministers is even higher than that of the emperor.

In the past, the prime minister had the power to make decisions and discuss the government and administrative power. After the founding of the cabinet, the prime minister firmly controlled the decision-making power originally had in his own hands, and the government power was divided into the cabinet and the administrative power was divided into six ministries. The local government was divided into three departments, in charge of justice, military, and administration, and was directly responsible to the six ministries.

Under the control of the emperor, the cabinet and the six ministries performed their duties. The highest administrative order of the country was issued from the Forbidden City in Nanjing, and was sent to every corner of the empire through national post stations.

Later, a more complete government affairs process was formed during the reign of Emperor Xuanzong of the Ming Dynasty: memorials of all sizes across the country, and even suggestions made by the people to the emperor were summarized by the Tongzheng Envoy Department, and the Sili Supervisor submitted them to the emperor for review, and then handed them to the cabinet, who was responsible for drafting and handling opinions, and then the Sili Supervisor submitted the opinions to the emperor for approval, and finally issued them by the six departments.

However, this also has certain disadvantages, that is, it is easy to cause the cabinet to restrict the imperial power.

Of course, it depends on whoever is in the hands of. In the hands of a foolish and incompetent emperor, the cabinet is naturally of great power. But in the hands of a hero, the world is still the emperor.

After Zhu Cilang was free, he had time to spend more time with Xiao Shishi, and the mood to go out to the palace to travel and enjoy the mountains and rivers, and experience the lives of the people.

For example, I have gained a lot from these two out of the palace. If I hadn't been out of the palace these two out of the palace, I'm afraid I wouldn't have found a case of Japanese trafficking in women, and I wouldn't have found a case of Shangshenjian's corruption case.

Zhu Cixuan did not handle government affairs in the Qianqing Palace, but went to the Queen of Kunning Palace Shen Shishi. Zhu Cixuan was teaching Shen Shishi's paintings. Unlike landscape paintings, Professor Zhu Cixuan was more inclined to be realistic paintings.

Although his family is in decline, Chen Shishi is a family of scholars after all, and he still knows how to use piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Zhu Cilang's painting technique opened up an unprecedented new world for Chen Shishi. It turned out that this painting would paint things so vividly.

Zhu Cilang actually does not have much talent in painting, but he has learned sketching after all. Sketching is indeed quite novel for people of this era.

But at this moment, the eunuch Wangcai came to report: "Your Majesty, Qin Maosheng, the commander of the Jinyiwei, asked for a visit."

Zhu Cixuan stopped the pen in his hand, and Xiao Shishi said gently and virtuously: "Your Majesty's government affairs are important, I am waiting for you here."

Zhu Cilang had no choice but to smile at her, try to make herself feel relaxed, and then said to Wangcai: "Let Qin Maosheng go to the Ganqing Palace to see me."

When he left Kunning Palace, Zhu Cilang's face immediately became gloomy. In fact, from the very beginning, he knew that the case of Shangshenjian was definitely not simple. Under the high pressure of the imperial court to fight corruption and cure corruption, there were people who committed crimes against the wind.

Chen Degui of Shangshenjian is no longer committing crimes against the wind, but is seeking death. It is logical that he would just deduct the ingredients from Shangshenjian, but he actually forced the duck farmers to a dead end and embezzled the duck eggs they paid tribute. This is not seeking death, what is this? Even as tribute, these duck eggs are actually not worth much money.

But Chen Degui didn't even want to pay a penny, and he had to take away all the duck eggs paid by the duck farmers. The duck farmers had no source of income and could only wait for death.

The tribute is not a penny, but it is given to the emperor directly for free to eat and drink. For example, the imperial tributes from various places are expensed by local governments to send good things to the palace.

You should know that the huge Forbidden City did not mean that the emperor needed to eat alone. The number of tributes was often large, and the time and method of tribute tribute were clearly stipulated. It involved many details. When discussing the specific time and method of tribute tribute, it also reflected the detailed characteristics of the tribute system at that time.

The "Six Dictations of Tang Dynasty" mentioned this tribute time: "All the officials in the world will order the governor, the governor and the superiors to change it; if the governor, the governor and the water and drought of the border prefectures, the governor and other officials will be replaced. They will all arrive at Kyoto on October 25th, and the Ministry of Revenue will introduce it on November 1st, and will meet the ministers and officials in the Shangshu Province, and then gather in the examination hall to take the exam to test the exam."

Both product entry and exit from the warehouse need to be registered. Under the strict system, the basic entry and exit from the warehouse need to be registered, and the procedures are also relatively strict.

The tributes from all over the country were not offered to the emperor free of charge. For example, local governments replaced taxes and funded by the Ministry of Revenue, etc.

There are quite a few duck eggs needed in the entire Forbidden City every day, and it is enough to make them bankrupt when counted as duck farmers. Originally, there was not much money to collect these duck eggs, but Chen Degui, who was obsessed with money, was almost crazy because he was unbalanced in sharing the spoils with Zhou Kui.

When the commander of the Jinyiwei entered the Ganqing Palace and placed the file in front of Zhu Cixuan, Zhu Cixuan couldn't help but clenched his fists.
