Zhu Yunwen fell asleep as she thought about it. She only woke up slowly when Ma Enhui pushed her.
"Your Majesty, it's time for morning court."
Ma Enhui called out softly.
Zhu Yunwen sat up and looked at the eunuch who was kneeling in front of her. She waved her hand and dismissed him. Ma Enhui served her and she put on her court clothes.
"Your Majesty, should we cancel today's morning court session?”
Ma Enhui looked at Zhu Yunwen, who was in low spirits, and said bitterly. She had just finished mourning and didn't know how to control herself.
"No need. Back then, when I was hunting magical beasts all night…"
"Magical beasts?"
"Uh, it's about breaking the rules and studying hard. This is nothing…"
Zhu Yunwen wiped her cold sweat.
Damn it, he was still not awake.
The morning court was orderly. The cabinet dealt with the things that should be dealt with. Those that had not made up their minds were also thrown to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen took out some things and worked together. Everyone came up with a regulation and got things done.
After settling the matter, everyone clapped their hands. The Emperor returned to the palace and the ministers went to work. It was as simple as that.
Zhu Yunwen thought that there would be no trouble today and planned to go back to sleep. Who knew that an official jumped out and shouted,"I have a memorial!"
Zhu Yunwen narrowed her eyes and saw a young man in his twenties kneeling on the ground.
"Yes." The internal supervisor looked at Zhu Yunwen's face and shouted.
"This subject of the Military Division, Cheng Ji, impeaches the former Left Governor Li Zengzhi for his crimes!”
Cheng Ji raised the memorial above his head.
All the officials in the court looked at Cheng Ji. Most of the civil officials were gloating, while the military officials were gloating. Their expressions were ugly.
Although Li Zengzhi had done a lot of bad things, he was still a part of the military officials. As the saying went, if one rose or fell, they would rise or fall together. If Li Zengzhi was slapped in the face, the entire military officials would not look good.
Xu Huizu looked at Cheng Ji and was even a little angry.
Li Zengzhi had just left the capital, and now you're impeaching him?
What did you do earlier?
Even if you have evidence, Li Zengzhi has already run thousands of miles away. Who are you going to ask?
The internal supervisor handed Cheng Ji's memorial to Zhu Yunwen. Zhu Yunwen opened it and looked at it. He was also secretly surprised. He had evil intentions, colluded with the vassal king, raised warriors, and secretly formed accomplices.
It was true that whatever crime killed him quickly, whatever crime would be covered up.
There was even another one. Li Zengzhi visited the Jiaofang Department during the filial piety period and even beat up the people of the Jiaofang Department.
Alright.
During the filial piety period, I had to endure it, but you, Li Zengzhi, were free and happy.
"12 pieces of evidence, do you have any evidence?”
Zhu Yunwen asked.
"If I'm lying, I'm willing to accept any punishment." Cheng Ji quickly said.”
Zhu Yunwen laughed. The things in Cheng Ji's memorial were indeed true. Zhu Yunwen was clear about this. However, Li Zengzhi could not die now. Otherwise, how could Li Jiujiang work for her?
"Let's put this matter aside for now. After Governor Zuo returns to the capital, we will interrogate him again.”
Zhu Yunwen stood up.
"Retreat."
The internal supervisor shouted.
The civil and military officials knelt and saluted.
Zhu Yunwen returned to the harem and handed Cheng Ji's memorial to Liu Changge, saying,"Send someone to send this memorial to Li Zengzhi.”
Liu Changge quickly went to make the arrangements.
Zhu Yunwen had a faint smile on his lips. Li Zengzhi was loyal to Zhu Di, and now his life was in his hands.
However, he did not touch him. He only told him that only by submitting to him would there be a way out! Of course, Li Zengzhi wasn't the only one who was being scolded. Li Jiujiang was also being scolded.
In the Hall of Martial Valor, Xie Jin asked to see him.
Zhu Yunwen approved a memorial and said,"The Ministry of Revenue has been having a hard time recently."
Xie Jin was bitter and quickly said,"Your Majesty, the cost of pushing the new army to Beiping is not small." Coupled with the policy of reducing taxes and corvee, the days of the Ministry of Revenue would probably be even more difficult in the coming year.”
"The empire is always moving forward," Zhu Yunwen said, unconcerned. The number of officials was huge and the organization was bloated. It was not possible to keep doing this.”
Xie Jin naturally saw it clearly. However, during the reign of Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang, he always liked to divide power.
The result of the separation of powers was the creation of three sets of management teams: the Chengxuan Administrative Commissioner Division, the Punishment Enforcement Commissioner Division, and the Capital Command Commissioner Division.
You restrict me, I restrict him, and he restrains you. No one can suppress the other, and no one can control the other.
If they had a good relationship, they could meet and drink together. If they had the same opinion, the problem would be solved.
If they didn't have a good relationship, even if you smashed a cup and begged the ancestors, they would still ignore you. If they raised their heads and said that they didn't agree to this, what could they do?
According to the rules, you really can't do anything.
You're just an administrative commissioner in charge of refugees. What? You need the army's help? Why should I help you?
Who do you think you are?
Without the imperial court's orders, not a single soldier will be sent out!
With more organizations, there would naturally be more officials.
After all, he couldn't be a commander without a commander. He had a relative at home. What? His wife's second aunt had a dog and was sent to the yamen to guard the door?
It was good to have more people.
However, with more people, the court would have to pay more. After all, they needed to pay salaries, even though Old Zhu's salary was not much…
In a place, there were hundreds of officials and officials of various departments. Adding on the officials of various levels, there were at least a few thousand people.
If the base number was large, no matter how small the number was, it would still be a large number.
Zhu Yunwen had always wanted to change this, but he had been on the throne for too short a time. It was easy to cause problems if he moved so many people.
Xie Jin understood Zhu Yunwen's meaning and said,"Your Majesty, it is possible to simplify the organization, but we cannot be too hasty. I think that the most important thing now is the matter of the vassal king.”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin and slowly asked,"Do you think that the King of Yan will still make a move?”
Xie Jin's expression became serious. After thinking deeply, he said,""Your Majesty, the King of Yan is not someone who will submit easily. Once he returned to Beiping Prefecture, he would definitely stir up a storm.”
"Oh? With such a setup, he still dared to take the risk?”
Zhu Yunwen looked at Xie Jin with interest.
Xie Jin nodded heavily and said,"Your Majesty, the King of Yan is good at military affairs. If he finds a flaw, he will definitely attack like lightning."?One had to know that the King of Yan had done many risky things.”
Zhu Yunwen paced in Wuying Hall, deep in thought.
Xie Jin's worries were not without reason. Zhu Di's ambition was very big, and he was Zhu Yuanzhang's son, while Zhu Yunwen was Zhu Yuanzhang's grandson!
Zhu Di was not convinced!
He desired to take away the throne, to take away the supreme power that he believed should belong to him!
However, after his many actions, would Zhu Di still have the courage to be his enemy?
"He doesn't lack courage!"
Zhu Yunwen frowned and said to Jiang An,"Prince Zhaoning."
Xie Jin looked at Zhu Yunwen in confusion, but Zhu Yunwen smiled indifferently, indicating that Xie Jin did not need to be nervous.
