The three cabinet ministers remained silent.

The Ministry of War is in charge of military power in the world, which is an important symbol of civil servants in charge of military power in the world.

The reason why the Ming Dynasty was now noble and humble was because the civil servants of the Ministry of War were in charge of the examination and selection of military officers in the world, the money and food of the army in the world, and even the dispatching and commanding matters. Therefore, military officers had to surrender to civil servants.

The three cabinet ministers naturally knew that once the Ministry of War was really allowed to command the military officers and select the military officers in the Governor's Office in the Five Army, it means that the world is not a civil and noble man, but a balance between civil and military affairs.

It will undoubtedly be more conducive to the emperor's control of civil and military officials and not conducive to the scholars and officials controlling the emperor.

Therefore, the three cabinet ministers did not dare to express their opinions immediately.

"Print an order immediately!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at the three cabinet ministers who had been silent and said.

He just wanted to take this opportunity to cut off the power of the Ministry of War and prepare for the future to prevent the civilian group of foreign ministers from interfering in his own army.

"I obey the order!"

Fang Congzhe replied first, that he had been labeled as "the emperor's lackey" by many civil servants. Being loyal to the emperor was the only way he could survive now, so he did not have the intention of playing against His Majesty the Emperor for the benefit of the civil servant group.

Han Yu and Wang Xianggan looked at Fang Congzhe.

Because Fang Congzhe had agreed, it means that if the two of them didn't agree, they would have no meaning to advise.

Therefore, Han Yu and Wang Xianggan both replied: "Abide by the order!"

"There was such a big corruption case in the Ministry of War, and the censors of the Censorate of the Censorate and the Censors of the Sixth Corps did not notice it at all. It was really a dereliction of duty!

I see that they are usually very fond of showing off, but why is the real big case in front of me but not a single thing is discovered? Is there any collusion?

I see that the Censor and Military Department of the Censorate are completely abolished!

Issue! The left censor and military department chief of the Censorate are ineffective in their investigation and implementation, and should be severely punished and confiscated their families and removed for the crime of dereliction of duty!

The other local censors and inspectors in charge of the Ministry of War were all dismissed, and new censors and military officials who were involved in the corruption case of the Ministry of War were all dismissed, and new censors and military officials were selected from local prefectures and county officials."

"The Censorate cannot even detect such a major case of corruption. I can see that there must be someone to supervise it. I will also draft an order. The two capitals and 13 provinces will each set up an anti-corruption department, which will be the permanent yamen. It can also set up an anti-corruption inspection department at each key pass to investigate corruption at any time!

If a case is found by the East Factory Anti-Corruption Department, and the Inspector Censor and the Censor’s Office did not find it, it is the Censor and the Censor’s Office of the Censor’s Office who are dereliction of duty. If the Inspector Censor and the Censor’s Office find it, and the East Factory Anti-Corruption Department fails to find it, it is the East Factory Anti-Corruption Department!”

Zhu Youxiao continued to talk.

But the three cabinet ministers were shocked after hearing Zhu Youxiao's order.

Because they all knew that although Zhu Yuanzhang's purpose of establishing the Censorate was indeed to investigate corruption and illegal activities of officials.

But now most of the censors of the Censorate are just using their supervision power to crack down on political enemies or use their supervision power to extort officials. No one will investigate their colleagues for nothing.

After all, everyone is civil servant.

But now His Majesty the Emperor wants to put a tight curse on the Censorate and ask the East Factory Supervisor to investigate the civil servants of the Censorate.

This made Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers want to persuade His Majesty the Emperor not to do this, but they don’t know how to persuade him.

After all, it is impossible to say that civil officials are honest and upright, and the confession of collectively corrupt by the Ministry of War is still in front of us.

The Censorate was indeed in vain and did not find out such a major corruption case.

"Abide by the order!"

Therefore, Fang Congzhe could only take the lead in compromise.

Han Yu and Wang Xianggan could only compromise and obediently followed Zhu Youxiao's will.

Therefore, Fang Congzhe and other cabinet ministers are now just obediently playing the role of emperor secretary.

The case of greed for the Mo is not over yet.

In the capital, Wei Zhongxian next began to arrange people to arrest and interrogate officials from the Ministry of Industry.

Outside the capital, the confiscation of Shanxi merchants also kicked off.

Xu Xianchun was ordered to come to see Qi Jin and his Zhejiang soldiers with the imperial edict.

After hearing the imperial edict that the Ministry of War had greedy for their military pay, they had to buy grain for the Shanxi merchants and sell them to the Donglu to make profits, they were all so angry that they all took a detour with the people from the Dongchang to head for Zhangjiakou Fort.

Xu Xianchun then rushed to Shanhaiguan, stopped Qin Liangyu's white-sling soldiers here, and informed the Ministry of War that they had greedy for their military pay and silver and then gave them to the Shanxi merchants to buy grain and gunpowder for the Donglu.

These white-rod soldiers became even more angry after hearing this. After all, they had just fought with the Donglu, and many of their brothers were killed and killed. The hatred for the Donglu was very high. At this time, when they heard that the Shanxi merchant wanted to buy food and gunpowder for their enemies to deal with him, they were naturally so angry that they wanted to eat and peel off the Shanxi merchant alive immediately.

In addition, the emperor issued an imperial edict to ask them to go to Zhangjiakou Fort to assist in confiscating Shanxi merchants, so these white-rod soldiers, like Zhejiang soldiers, came to Zhangjiakou Fort very actively, and did not complain because they had just finished a fierce battle and had not had time to rest.

Even the Bai Gan Bing and Zhejiang Bing are more active than the factory guards. The irritable military officers even forced the factory guards to speed up to go to Zhangjiakou Fort with guns, and these factory guards were not allowed to rest along the way.

Xu Xianchun himself was scolded by Qin Minping because he wanted to rest for one night at the inn. In the end, Qin Liangyu apologized in person, so he did not let Xu Xianchun report this matter.

Of course, Xu Xianchun was also a little afraid of these arrogant soldiers and generals with murderous aura, so he had to rush on the road overnight on the grounds that he understood that these officers and soldiers were eager to regain their hard-earned money, and they changed horses and didn't change people along the way.

...

Zhangjiakou Fort was still peaceful at this time.

Zhangjiakou Fort, which flourished due to border trade, gathered many great Shanxi merchants who specialized in doing business with Jurchens and Mongolians.

The Fan family is the largest Shanxi merchant among these Shanxi merchants.

The current head of the Fan family is Fan Ming.

Fan Ming is quite cautious, but therefore, although he is doing business with the enemy, he has never made any mistakes.

But some days ago, after the right senator of Liaodong, Wang Huazhen, was punished by the right senator Wang Huazhen, was sent to Wang Huazhen as an aide to the family to contact the court officials, Fan Yuqing, who was also punished by the family, was punished by Fan Yuqing, who was sentenced to contact the officials of the court for the family, Fan Ming was restless about this matter.

Fan Ming's son Fan Yongdou saw his father's concerns, so he persuaded him: "Don't you have to worry so much. Didn't we have already bribed people from the Ministry of Justice? Yu Qing had been sentenced by Ming Zhengdian, and it was not found that Fan Yuqing was a member of our tribe. It was only found that he was from the Fan clan of the Chenyang. It seemed that Yuqing was still smart and knew to cover his family. We also brought back news that the Fan clan of the Chenyang clan was indeed arrested by the Jinyiwei and was taken to Beijing. Fan Wencheng, a student in the clan, was sentenced to death because of his fame and fame, and the court did not know what our Fan clan did now."

Fan Ming nodded.

At this time, Fan Ming's younger brother Fan Cheng walked in and said, "Brother, the money for the Ministry of War has reached 670,000 taels after it was decommissioned this time. Zhang Butang asked me to tell you that the profits made by Donglu this time will be divided according to the old rules, but there is no need to share the money for the Liaodong Governor, and I believe we know the reason."

"Okay, then I'll arrange for someone to use the money that should have been distributed to the Liaodong Governor to bribe the new Liao Pu."

Fan Ming nodded and ordered.

Fan Yongdou laughed: "I'm going to make a fortune now! It's because the new emperor is generous enough. However, he would never have thought that the money he allocated from the treasury not only did not reach the hands of the soldiers and the people, but also to the hands of us."

Fan Cheng smiled, "This emperor is just stupid! He lives in the deep palace and knows these things."

But as soon as Fan Cheng finished speaking, another brother of Fan Ming, Fan Yu, hurriedly ran in: "No, brother, there are a large number of people from the East Factory and the Jinyiwei coming outside! It seems that something bad is going to happen."
