The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The time has passed.
The Zhengtong Emperor was still reviewing the memorials and opened several envelopes in succession, all participating in the performance of King Pingxi.
Looting, killing wantonly, embezzling military pay, and intending to rebel...
Almost all crimes that can be involved are placed on King Pingxi. Anyway, the duty of the censor is to report the matter, and then it should be handed over to the third division for investigation.
During the investigation, some means were used to turn what was not available into what was available.
When the martial arts barbarian entered the court, he could not defeat the civil servants. After all, there were specialties in the arts!
"The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty are all bullies who are afraid of the strong. They only dare to play for my King Pingxi."
The Zhengtong Emperor threw the memorial aside and said coldly: "The territories captured by Feng Aiqing are all under the rule of the dynasty. The one in the north is about to establish a country and claim it!"
Eunuch Yuan bowed to wait, but could not interrupt at this time.
It is related to the safety of the country and the country. If you say it right, it will interfere with the government's affairs. If you say it wrong, the person will be gone.
At this time.
The chamberlain on duty behind the door came in and announced: "Your Majesty, Eunuch Yi wishes to see you."
The Zhengtong Emperor looked puzzled as to what he was doing here so late. He nodded and said, "Bring him in."
"Meet Your Majesty..."
Zhou Yi quickly ran through the door, knelt on the ground and shouted long live three times, holding up the account books with both hands.
"My servant investigated and dealt with the embezzlement of the imperial prison, and got a total of about 800,000 taels of stolen silver and land. The amount is huge and I dare not delay. I will report it to Your Majesty overnight!"
"Send it up."
The Zhengtong Emperor looked through the account books with a smile on his face. It turned out that Zhou Yi could be used as a knife.
All the military pay for the Western Expedition came from the confiscation of Zhou Yi's houses. This great victory in destroying the country was related to the subsequent implementation of the new policy of the country, and it can be said that he made outstanding achievements.
"Xiao Yizi did well, what do you want?"
Zhou Yi kowtowed and said: "As a slave, I can work for your majesty, so I should do my best without asking for any reward."
"I will reward you for my merits!"
Emperor Zhengtong said: "In the next year, the imperial court will measure the land in the world. This matter is of great importance. Someone must collude with subordinates to lie and conceal it."
"You select capable people from the on-duty supervisors and call yourself the Supervisory Department. They are responsible for monitoring and measuring the acres!"
When Zhou Yi heard this, he couldn't help but secretly cursed, this is not a reward, it is clearly another errand.
The advantage is that he is in charge of a new department, and the Supervision Department is responsible for affairs outside the palace, which greatly increases Zhou Yi's authority, which can be regarded as a reward in a sense.
"My slave, thank you Your Majesty."
Zhou Yi asked carefully: "Your Majesty, can the Supervision Department open a separate office?"
The Orthodox Emperor pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.
"That's right!"
"My slave obeys the order."
Zhou Yi suddenly smiled and bowed three times and bowed nine times before exiting the Qinzheng Hall.
The entrance to the outer hall.
The chamberlain on duty reported: "Admiral, your Majesty has been reviewing the memorials in recent days and has repeatedly mentioned the north. He is very dissatisfied with what that person has done."
"Our family knows."
Zhou Yi took out a silver note from his sleeve and gave it to the waiter: "Do a good job, our family will take good care of your child..."
After staying in the palace for more than ten years, he has already mastered all kinds of cake painting skills. With a few random words of encouragement, the waiter on duty burst into tears of gratitude and wished he could recognize him as his godfather on the spot.
Return to the palace supervisor.
Zhou Yi summoned all the officials and father-in-law to discuss the establishment of a supervisory department.
"If you do this well, you will definitely become His Majesty's right-hand man. Our family will not treat you badly!"
After hearing this, all the servants made suggestions and suggestions.
The prototype of the Supervision Department was quickly formed. Zhou Yi was appointed as the Superintendent, with positions such as Tongzhi and Qianshi under him, and below that there were eunuchs at all levels, with a number of more than 200 people.
The selected chamberlains are all elite soldiers and generals who are on duty as palace supervisors. After forming the backbone of the Supervision Department, they then recruit spies and warriors from the private sector.
From top to bottom, layer upon layer, monitor all directions.
Zhou Yi was quite satisfied with the structure and said: "Your Majesty allows the Supervision Department to open an office. Our family is not familiar with the capital. Is there any suitable house nearby?"
Wen Dianbo said: "Sir, our family knows a good boundary."
Zhou Yi asked: "Where?"
Wen Dianbo said: "There is an abandoned royal palace to the east of the palace. It can be turned into a supervisory office, which is exactly opposite to the Zhenfusi to the west."
Zhou Yi raised his eyebrows: "Showing the chariot and horses in such a clear way, is it possible to make enemies for nothing?"
"Sir, according to what Your Majesty said, the purpose of establishing the Supervision Department is to measure the acres of land."
Wen Dianbo said: "This matter will only last two or three years. After Liangtian ends, where will the Supervision Department go? In order not to be disbanded, we have to set a target."
"The Zhenfu Department is His Majesty's only eye outside. With overwhelming power, there must be many shameful things happening. Let's just keep an eye on it and expose it to Your Majesty one by one..."
"Mr. Wen is indeed a scholar!"
Zhou Yi suddenly realized that this method is similar to raising the enemy's self-respect. When your Majesty sees the corruption of the Zhenfu Department, he will naturally use the Supervision Department to check and balance each other.
In this way, the Supervision Department will become a permanent institution!
"It's not enough to just stare at the Zhenfu Division..."
Zhou Yi said: "Choose another fifty chamberlains and keep an eye on the north. Every move of that person will be reported to the capital. Even what he eats and what he says must be recorded!"
Wen Dianbo frowned slightly and said worriedly: "That person holds great military and political power and is not easy to mess with."
"Jie Jie Jie!"
Zhou Yi laughed strangely: "Even Mr. Wen, who is far away in the inner courtyard of the palace, is afraid of that man. Our family should be kept under constant watch by His Majesty."
The Supervision Department reports to His Majesty from time to time that today the King of Zhenbei has built another city, and tomorrow he has gathered the remnants of the foreign tribes.
As a result, His Majesty will not only disband the Inspection Department, but also order its expansion.
"Your Excellency is wise!"
Wen Dianbo praised him repeatedly. With such courage, no wonder he became His Majesty's confidant.
…
Three years of orthodoxy.
October.
The Supervision Department was established and was known as the East Factory in history.
December.
The New Year is approaching.
The Zhengtong Emperor issued an order to measure the acres of land, intending to abolish the Ding tax and distribute the land tax evenly.
When the news came out, the whole country was in an uproar.
…
Yuntai Academy.
Known as the first academy in Beijing, it has been passed down from the previous dynasty to this day and has a great reputation.
This day.
The court was sending messages from all directions, and hundreds of scholars gathered together.
They discussed and jointly submitted a letter to oppose His Majesty's implementation of the New Deal, saying that the Ding tax was an ancestral system and its abolition would inevitably shake the foundation of the country.
"We, the scholars, should imitate the sages and pray for the people..."
Yuan Zheng is turning sixty, but his voice is still clear and resonant. When he talks about something passionate and high-spirited, he can't help but wave his arms and lead the scholars to shout in unison.
suddenly.
The sound of galloping horses was heard outside the academy, and the closed courtyard door crashed to the ground.
Dozens of black-clad men holding steel knives rushed into the academy like a tide and surrounded the scholars.
The courtyard leader sternly scolded: "This is a matter of culture..."
Peng!
Before he finished speaking, his head exploded.
Red and white splashed everywhere, and the originally agitated scholars suddenly became silent, watching helplessly as the headless corpse fell to the ground.
Zhou Yi, wearing a purple-red robe embroidered with an elk body and an ox-tailed unicorn beast, walked in unhurriedly.
He glanced at the scholar coldly, waved his hand and said.
"They are all disloyal and unfilial for speaking ill of the Holy Spirit. They will all be thrown into the prison of the Supervision Department and their families will be notified to pick them up!"
Some young scholars reacted and shouted: "It is the law of the country and scholars can discuss politics! What qualifications do you, eunuchs in the palace, have to arrest us?"
The scholars looked down upon the chamberlains, but at this moment someone took the lead and pushed and pushed the supervisor Fanzi.
"kill!"
After Zhou Yi gave an order, Fanzi immediately waved his butcher knife, dyeing the academy that had been passed down for hundreds of years bloody.
