All kinds of news were flying in the capital, and the ministers in the court didn't know what was going on. They originally thought that everyone was targeting the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but the emergence of a major impeachment memorial made the matter take a sharp turn.

These people attacked the Ministry of Internal Affairs at all, but impeached the cliques.

No matter what the result is, such an impeachment memorial will definitely be scary. Especially at this time, it is simply poking the emperor's heart. The matter is originally very subtle. How could the emperor not think too much if he does this?

After learning the news that the emperor was furious, Shen Shixing's face turned dark.

Shen Shixing's mansion.

"Did you find out who it is?" Shen Shixing looked at Yu Youding and asked.

After the strong storms, Shen Shixing also knew that this time someone was going to make trouble, and this person's status should be not low. Otherwise, with a few envoys, such storms would definitely not be caused.

"Ge Lao, Jiangdongzhi and Li Zhi are both imperial envoys. Don't you know who they are?"

Yu Youding said with a wry smile.

Of course, Shen Shixing knew that he was really familiar with Li Zhi and Jiang Dongzhi because they were both Zhang Siwei's people before. After Zhang Siwei returned to his hometown, these people quickly turned to Chen Yu.

What happened this time was Chen Du? It was such a big deal!

After sighing, Shen Shixing found that he underestimated Chen Yu, and then submitted a memorial to impeach the Ministry of Internal Affairs and turned around and impeached people like him. This move was so beautiful.

Don’t oppose the investigation and punishment of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and demonstrate the great power of the people you are like.

When the emperor was disgusted by the emperor, he directly handed a knife to the emperor.

Not only did he alienate the relationship between himself and the emperor, but he could also help the emperor. If he still pursued the Ministry of Internal Affairs, it would be better if the emperor would really be stolen. It would be too sinister.

"The envoys have submitted memorials again?" Shen Shixing looked at Yu Youding and asked.

"Yes!" Yu Youding nodded awkwardly: "They are still impeaching the Ministry of Internal Affairs crazy, and their words are very fierce, but most of them are quoting the words from the memorials of the cabinet and the officials, and their hearts are obvious."

The expression on Shen Shixing's face became even bitter, and Chen Yue was indeed so vicious!

"No, no, this doesn't look like Chen Xu's style!" Shen Shixing raised his head and shook his head and said, "But there are other clues?"

"Yes!" Yu Youding nodded: "Yang Shiqiao, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

"This time, in addition to Chen Yu's people, there are many people jumping up and down. Most of these people are Yang Shiqiao's relatives and students." When he said this, Yu Youding said in a deep voice: "These are cliques!"

Shen Shixing nodded in agreement. These people are indeed cliques, but now they say they are cliques!

"Ge Master, I'd better find a way as soon as possible. If this continues, we may suffer a loss!" Yu Youding said anxiously.

In fact, for Yu Youding, he was even more worried because these people targeted the impeachment, and to put it bluntly, they wanted to remove their secondary assistant. Chen Xu wanted to go further, this was targeting himself!

How could Shen Shixing not know that if things were allowed to develop like this, it would be really troublesome.

The key is how to make the emperor believe in people like him at this time. Once the emperor does not believe in people like him, then Chen Yu will be able to succeed. Thinking of this, Shen Shixing said, "I will go into the palace tomorrow!"

Yu Youding nodded. At this point, he had to find out about the emperor's tone.

Forbidden City, Ganqing Palace.

Although it was already evening, Zhu Yijun did not go to bed for the time being, but did not read the memorial. Instead, he listened to Zhang Jing's report. He leaned his body and Zhu Yijun spoke to Zhang Jing, "Will your East Factory have a result so soon?"

"Yes, the emperor!" Zhang Jing quickly answered: "After receiving the emperor's imperial edict, Dongchang sent someone there."

Zhu Yijun nodded and said in a deep voice: "Then let's talk about it!"

"The East Factory stared at Gu Xiancheng, Jiang Dongzhi and others and found that these people gathered in Qunfang Pavilion the day before yesterday." Zhang Jing bowed with a serious face, and took out a memorial from his sleeve: "This is their conversation record."

Zhu Yijun took the memorial and looked around, and found that the writing was very simple.

The names of people are listed before, and then their conversations are written later.

What did so-so say and record it in detail, as if someone was taking notes while they were talking. After reading it, Zhu Yijun sighed helplessly, reached out and placed the memorial in his hand on Longshu's desk.

In fact, the abnormal product of the Donglin Party has a direct relationship with the taxation policy of the Ming Dynasty.

If they are used to not paying taxes, will they be willing to give money to the country? Only by holding power can they not pay taxes!

As for the slogans shouted by the Donglin Party, Zhu Yijun didn't believe it. All the people said it was good, and that was all the money. You should pay taxes! Don't just let the farm pay taxes, but what do they do? The tea tax and mining tax and various commercial taxes were all done by the Donglin Party.

Emperor Wanli sent a mining supervisor, and Emperor Tianqi sent Wei Zhongxian. To put it bluntly, they all collected money. Only the two fools Chongzhen would be fooled by the Donglin Party.

Shen Shixing wanted to put the wealth of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the treasury, but Zhu Yijun would not agree to this. Because these are two things, the Ministry of Internal Affairs' behavior is a business behavior. To put it bluntly, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is doing business with merchants.

The Office of the Internal Affairs also needs to pay taxes, which can be regarded as the emperor's private enterprise, and it is a profitable business behavior.

If the money from the Ministry of Internal Affairs is transferred to the treasury, it will be transferred to it by itself instead of directly subdivide it to the treasury. Their concepts are different. Most of the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will use the money for business, such as dealing with the gentry of the Donglin Party.

In fact, the Donglin Party was not a few people, but a grassroots team, representing the emerging gentry and businessmen in Jiangnan.

Although these people also farmed, they were more of them planting mulberry trees and engaged in large-scale commercial activities. Unlike the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party that later formed, the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party was a traditional landlord party, and they defended the interests of the gentry and landlord class.

For example, the Donglin Party needed labor, so they advocated that the people could move freely and that the checkpoint city tax should be exempted. However, these were not tolerated by the landlord class, and their main interests came from land and tenants.

There is a little free flow of labor and everyone goes to work, so who can farm for them?

The party struggle between the Donglin Party and other parties in various places is actually a struggle between two classes. Both sides wanted to defeat each other, so they focused on the court. This was a life-and-death struggle. This is also the reason why the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party would rather surrender to Wei Zhongxian as an eunuch party after the defeat, because this is not a simple power political struggle, but an endless struggle for interests.

Such a war has also occurred in the United States, which is the famous Civil War.

Northern industries required a large amount of labor, and labor was bound to the hands of slave owners in the south, so there was a bill to abolish slaves, an independence from the south, and a Civil War. To put it bluntly, this was also the case for the Ming Dynasty.

It’s just that both sides put the battlefield in the court, fighting to the death.

At this time, the national interests and the people of the Ming Dynasty were no longer important.

Zhu Yijun knew very well about the matter. If he promoted the opening and closing of the mu, he would actually receive the support of the Donglin Party. Although he had to pay taxes, the land tax was not much for them.

Those who oppose this policy must be local parties like the Qi, Zhejiang and Chu Party, and those who want to promote commercial taxes must be fiercely opposed by the Donglin Party.

The Donglin Party did not appear before, although the opposition was quite loud, there was no practical action. However, this time, the salt administration in Yangzhou, coupled with the wool textile in the northwest, completely ignited some people, and made them look at the court earlier.

Or they have realized that only by having enough voice in the court can they protect their own interests.

After sighing, Zhu Yijun rubbed his head, and things were in trouble. It would be difficult to solve this problem simply. However, Zhu Yijun also knew that this was not considered a bad thing.

There is a pool of stagnant water in the court now, which can be stimulated.

After Zhang Juzheng's death, the court split again in just a few years. He wanted a united and loyal ruling team, but now it seems that there is no chance. Thinking of this, Zhu Yijun smiled mockingly.

balance!

The most common method of playing in ancient places is not unreasonable. I have to think about it this time.

The matter became more and more intense. When a memorial impeachment of the Minister of Revenue Zhang Xueyan was handed over, the storm was completely ignited. It was different from the previous impeachment of other people's cliques. This time, the impeachment of Zhang Xueyan was a solid evidence.

As the Minister of Revenue, he colluded with border generals and accepted bribes to falsely report his achievements. Li Chengliang mostly won great successes to falsely report his achievements.

This memorial can be said to have caused a thousand scourges. Central ministers colluded with local military generals, which was a taboo thing. Accepting bribes, forging a great victory, and falsely reporting achievements. If this crime is confirmed, Zhang Xueyan will be deemed to be over and may be punished.

For a moment, the court was in a panic and everyone was in danger. Everyone realized that this was a big deal.

Zhu Yijun looked at the memorial in his hand and couldn't help but sigh: "This is really a fierce operation!"

This is also a common trick used by the Donglin Party. In the previous life, Liaodong, the eunuch Party and the Donglin Party used it to talk about it. This time it was Liaodong, and it was Li Chengliang who was targeting it. If it was so big, there must be an explanation no matter what.

Sighing, Zhu Yijun glanced at Zhang Jing and said, "Go and get me a copy of Zhang Xueyan's information."
Chapter completed!
