Chapter 85 Investigation

After changing into military uniforms and matching them with ritual swords, they were the straight swords that Zhu Yijun made back then.

Civil officials have the habit of wearing swords, and the swords that military generals match are looked down upon. Zhu Yijun wanted to change this impression, so he gave them a sword. It looks really good and energetic.

The ceremony went smoothly. Zhu Yijun returned to the palace after watching the ceremony.

The rest of the things he has not used is the emperor. He said that he has been out for a day, and the emperor cannot always be outside.

In the following days, Zhu Yijun became idle again. After Zhang Juzheng came back, the operation of the court became smoother in an instant. He could give appropriate opinions when he was in the cabinet, and Zhu Yijun also realized the gap between him and Zhang Juzheng.

Zhu Yijun didn't wait too long. After collecting autumn grains and before winter began, Zhang Juzheng finally took out his ultimate move.

A memorial titled "Please clear the account of land in the country" was handed to Zhu Yijun.

In this memorial, Zhang Juzheng explained in detail the importance of clearing the fields and checking the hidden land within this range. For a moment, the court was shocked, and as the news spread, it even felt like it was shocking the world.

He placed Zhang Juzheng's memorial on the table, and Zhu Yijun gently tapped the table with his fingers, and the expression on his face was very calm.

"Take the cabinet department to discuss!" Zhu Yijun handed the memorial to Zhang Jing and then spoke.

The court was busy discussing this matter all winter. Although the argument was very strong, Zhang Juzheng had been preparing for several years and naturally would not be defeated. This time he returned with a desperate momentum.

It always snows during the Chinese New Year. Zhu Yijun actually likes it when it snows, but he doesn't like it snows.

Looking at the fluttering university, I feel a sense of freedom, peace and contentment.

Standing at the door of Kunning Palace, wearing a cloak, Zhu Yijun reached out to catch some falling snowflakes. Although it was a little cool, Zhu Yijun's expression was still very enjoyable. He glanced at Queen Wang beside him, and Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "Don't you like snow?"

"I don't like it!" Sister Wang Xi nodded and said, "It's snowing and cold, so many people who don't have enough clothes to keep their food and can't survive."

Zhu Yijun smiled faintly. After so long, Queen Wang has been protected by her, but she still feels naive. If she is a mature concubine, she will never say this in front of Zhu Yijun.

Chat about snow, talk about poetry, talk about wind, flowers, snow and moon, how great is this? What are the people talking about!

However, Zhu Yijun also likes Queen Wang likes this. After all, there are many people who flatter him, and there is no shortage of Queen. He reached out and pinched Queen Wang's nose. Zhu Yijun smiled and said, "There will be a day in the world that I will never freeze to death."

"I believe that there will be such a day. The emperor is here, and there will definitely be such a day."

Queen Wang smiled brightly. Since she entered the palace, she has gone from being uneasy to enjoying sweetly now, all because of the man around her. She is gentle, elegant, decisive and extraordinary in her work. Whenever she puts any words of praise on him, Queen Wang doesn't think it's too much.

Sister Wang Xi was very satisfied that she could still meet such an emperor after marrying into the palace.

"Let's go, the snow is getting smaller, I will take you to build a snowman." Zhu Yijun said with a smile, holding Queen Wang's hand.

Queen Wang was stunned, then followed Zhu Yijun with a smile.

Although it was the emperor and the queen who built snowmen, in fact they were just decorating them, such as inserting a red nose. Zhu Yijun also took off Zhang Jing's eunuch hat and placed it on the snowman's head.

I was tired of playing and had hot pot at Kunning Palace tonight. This was Zhu Yijun's rare leisure time.

Zhu Yijun has had a very comfortable life this year, and it was the most comfortable year he has lived since time traveling.

There was nothing messy in the palace, and the army also made arrangements according to its own ideas. The court no longer worried about money, so Zhu Yijun breathed a sigh of relief, as if the pressure on his body was relieved.

After the Chinese New Year, the court will begin to implement the matter of clearing the accounts and land.

As soon as the first month of the year came, Zhu Yijun received countless memorials, without exception, all of which were impeached nobles and royal families, with only one charge: occupying the land!

This time the ministers obviously came prepared and all were well-founded.

Forbidden City, Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Yijun summoned five cabinet ministers to discuss matters. Sandalwood was lit in the chamber. Zhu Yijun sat on the dragon chaise and the five cabinet ministers sat below. Everyone knew what the emperor was doing to summon them.

"My dear friends, please tell me about the matter of clearing the accounts and land!" Zhu Yijun handed the memorial to Zhang Jing and said, "These are all memorials that impeached the noble family to occupy the land. My dear friends also expressed their opinions."

In fact, both Zhu Yijun and several cabinet ministers had expected this situation.

It is common for civil servants to blame everything they have done, but they can only do it privately, and not openly. Those who are being pushed out must be nobles and royal families. After all, these people are close to the emperor!

Even if a civil servant is a lifetime, it will be a lifetime of accomplishment. However, the nobles are different from the royal family, so they are really divorced with the country!

Now that this matter has been introduced, several cabinet ministers also know that the person they are looking at is not them, but Zhu Yijun.

"I think it is imperative to clear the land." Shen Shixing said first: "It is absolutely untolerated to hide the land and not pay taxes. Your Majesty should issue an order to thoroughly investigate the land of the nobles and royal families. Anyone who encroaches and conceals will be returned to the people. Those who hide will be confiscated."

Ma Ziqiang said: "The land of the noble family is ruled, and the extra land must be occupied. The minister also thinks that if the land rewarded for business is investigated, all the land rewarded for business will be confiscated."

After these two people said that, the other three people did not speak, but turned to look at Zhang Juzheng.

The two cabinet masters made a statement, and Zhang Juzheng made a statement, that is basically the attitude of the cabinet.

Zhu Yijun also knew that this matter was introduced by people who opposed the world of clearing the account. If you want to investigate, start with the nobles and the royal family. They all knew that the nobles and the royal family were the most difficult to deal with. Once they found out, it would not be certain whether the clearing of the account could continue.

"What do you think sir?" Zhu Yijun turned to look at Zhang Juzheng and asked with a smile.

"Check!" Zhang Juzheng's answer was very simple, with only one word.

In fact, Zhang Juzheng was also very dissatisfied with the embezzlement of land by nobles and royal families. These people's encroachment of land was even worse than that of gentry, and it can be said that it was a disaster for the Ming Dynasty. Since it was proposed, I would just investigate it.

Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "Then check it!"
