Wei Changfeng was very hesitant and caught off guard.
Originally, he wanted to present this memorial to the Emperor at the Jingyi Hall after the court, and discuss with the Emperor whether it would be feasible.
As a result, the emperor took the initiative to bring up this matter in the court, and what Zhai Xiu said made sense, but Lao Wei didn't know how to answer.
If you don't agree, Zhai Xiu will definitely ask why you don't agree.
Lao Wei can't say that there must be two or five young people in your criminal department.
But if you agree, the matter will most likely be a scam.
Don't tell me, Zhai Xiuzhen didn't want to take the credit, nor did he want to embarrass Wei Changfeng. Again, he found a place and mentioned Qianqi Camp, how could he not make use of the topic.
In fact, the Ministry of Punishment and the Qianqi Camp are really not very good at dealing with them.
They are all investigators, arresters, and law enforcement agencies, but the authority of Qianqiying is superior to that of the Criminal Department, and the Criminal Department is superior to Jingzhao Mansion.
In the past, when Chen Yan led Qianqi to camp, he rarely had any conflicts with other government offices. In addition, Chen Yan's personality was very low-key. He would not say anything or discuss with others, he would just do it directly and never use the personnel of the Criminal Department. .
Qianqiying arrested many people and investigated many cases, and the Criminal Department also handled them.
More often than not, the Ministry of Punishment did not understand and Qianqi Camp was successfully established.
Comparing the two, the Punishment Department pales in comparison in front of Qianqiying.
In fact, Zhai Xiu also thought too much and always felt that Qianqiying was competing for credit.
The problem is that Chen Yan has no such idea at all. I, the Ninth Prince whose surname is Changhuang, cannot compete with you, a minister.
It was precisely because Chen Yan didn't care at all that Zhai Xiu thought that the "deputy commander" of Qianqiying was a particularly arrogant and arrogant man.
Speaking of which, Zhai Xiu is not a petty person, but when his doctor in the Criminal Department was beaten, he was beaten for a very ridiculous reason. In addition, he was robbing food. What made him even more breathless was that the emperor still had to do it because of this. Spray them.
Because of this, Zhai Xiu is now obsessed with embarrassing Qianqiying.
"Your Majesty, even though the Qianqi Camp collects taxes and money from merchants, it is still causing a lot of trouble in the capital. It's just the capital. Hundreds of officials gather at the feet of the emperor. If we do this in the various states, I'm afraid..."
Zhai Xiu didn't say anything further, but the words were clear.
He is so arrogant in the capital. If this goes to the right place, there will be two consequences: either Qianqiying will continue to circle and kick others, or others will circle and kick Qianqiying.
The emperor lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded slightly.
The fourth child also knew very well that since Chu Qing took over the Qianqi Camp, he had been a little too high-profile and caused a lot of trouble in the capital.
In the capital, he can protect Qianqiying, but when he goes to various states, especially in extremely remote places, Qianqiying still acts in such a high-profile manner. How could those aristocratic families spoil Qianqiying?
Looking at the ministers, Huang Laosi asked in a deep voice: "What do you think?"
Whenever the emperor said "what do you think," he was asking the ministers to express their opinions.
Nangong Xi was the first to go out: "Now that the national treasury is stretched thin, merchants have no choice but to make money. They must pay all taxes and silver in accordance with the laws of Changchun. They comply with the laws and regulations and the laws. Hiding taxes will not last long."
The implication is, yes, that's right, businessmen don't do human affairs, um... yes, businessmen don't do human affairs.
Cao Wu, the Minister of Rites, came out of the class and echoed: "The state has national laws, families have family rules, and merchants must also abide by the laws."
"Old minister seconded the proposal." The Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs came out: "Since you are making money, you must pay all taxes."
"This is absolutely true." Liu Xun came out: "If you don't abide by the laws and orders, you are a lawless person."
Tan Zhongping left the team: "In the end, I will feel successful."
Huang Laosi's eyes widened and he almost cursed.
I asked you whether the Ministry of Punishment or the Qianqi Battalion should take action to investigate the merchants, but you farted for a long time and told me that it doesn't matter whether the Ministry of Punishment or the Qianqi Battalion takes action, but the merchants have to be investigated...
When checking merchants, what the hell do you need to say?
"Your Majesty, I have something to report."
A man suddenly emerged from the pillar at the back of the political hall. He lowered his head and said loudly: "I believe that the Ministry of Household Affairs should take the lead in this matter, with the Qianqi Camp as the auxiliary."
All the ministers turned back, and the emperor also looked at it intently. Then he almost stood up and quickly held up the jade crown.
The person who spoke was none other than Chu Qing. Not only the emperor was frightened, but Zhai Xiu was also trembling with fright, with an expression on his face as if he had seen a ghost in the daytime.
In the past few days, before going to court, Zhai Xiu always went to the Ministry of Household Affairs and the generals, just to know when Chu Qing would come, and then have a good talk.
It was the same today. Zhai Xiu remembered that he clearly didn't see Chu Qing, but this boy actually appeared in the political hall. Could it be that the rumors were true? People from Qianqi Camp could climb up the wall and invisibly, and lay down on the wall. Entering a deserted place, no one even noticed when going to court?
It is true that Chu Qing did not come in the morning, but just sneaked in and hid behind the pillar.
Fortunately, the government hall was big enough, and all the ministers were standing in front. Huang Laosi was also talking to the ministers, his voice was very low, and he didn't seem to be trying to help.
The two guards standing outside the hall were in admiration. After working as gatekeepers for so many years, this was the first time I saw someone sneaking in half-way up, and then they dared to show up to make trouble. How brave is this?
Originally, Chu Qing wasn't going to sneak in, but when he saw Zhai Xiu coming out and yelling, he couldn't help it anymore.
The emperor spoke softly, but the problem was that Zhai Xiu had a loud voice.
Chu Qing originally came up with this idea, and if Zhai Xiu comes to interfere, he must come in.
Not surprisingly, the emperor was ill again, and it was Sun An who sent the message.
"Vice Commander Chu, the emperor wants to ask you what you want to report."
Chu Qing raised his head, slightly puzzled.
What's wrong with the emperor? He looks down on me. He just opens his mouth when talking to others, but when he talks to me, he lets a eunuch pass the message?
But Chu Qing didn't think much about it, after all, they were far away, and it would be outrageous for the emperor to keep shouting and making noise every day.
The emperor didn't want to shout, so Chu Qing had to lower his voice.
"The state governments are checking merchants' taxes and money, and the Qianqi camp government offices are doing their part."
Zhai Xiu didn't care to think about how Chu Qing appeared out of thin air. He turned around and said with a half-smile, "Did Deputy Commander Chu say that our Criminal Department is not qualified?"
Chu Qing nodded honestly: "Yeah."
Zhai Xiu: "..."
When Chu Qing appeared, he left work alone again.
You must know that there is more than one Zhai Xiu who wants to find face with Chu Qing. The one who has been embarrassed the most in the court recently is the Ministry of Rites.
Cao Wu stood up and said with a sneer: "The Ministry of Punishment has jurisdiction over the government officials of various states. The Qianqi Battalion under the command of Deputy Chu has only so many people."
The ministers' eyes were burning and they all saw it. The two ministers personally went out and wanted to tear apart the deputy commander of Qianqiying with their hands!
The dizzy courtiers who were still hungry became excited.
If we talk about this, we won't be hungry.
Chu Qing had really never fought with anyone in the court, and he was still two ministers. He was a little numb for a moment, to put it lightly, and then thought he was a coward, to put it seriously, he was caught in a pigtail.
Seeing Chu Qing lowering his head and thinking about his words, someone walked out of the household.
Although Chu Qing is a novice at court fighting, don't forget that he also has a teacher.
Qiu Wanshan, who walked out of the class, frowned at Cao Wu and asked expressionlessly: "Master Cao, I wonder why you care about how many people there are in the emperor's army?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Wu's expression changed drastically and he quickly defended: "That's not what I meant!"
Qiu Wanshan returned to the court. With just this sentence, Cao Wu almost died on the spot.
What Cao Wu meant was, how many men and horses do you have in Qianqi Camp? Can you mobilize them here?
But Qiu Wanshan did not use the words "Qianqiying", but the emperor's personal army.
So here comes the question. You, Cao Wu, ask how many pro-army soldiers the emperor sent to secretly monitor the officials. What do you mean? They are trying to find out the emperor’s background. Is there too many? Do you have an opinion? Or is there too few? , can you still have a sense of luck?
