Fengtian Palace.

Zhang Yanling appeared here again. For ministers who also participated in the court, whenever Zhang Yanling came, they must always be prepared for battle.

It's like facing a great enemy.

However, because Zhang Yanling has not done anything to "make trouble" recently, the ministers present were not as vigilant as before, and perhaps... this group of people also knew that the fight with Zhang Yanling was not a good result, so they simply ignored him.

The undead Xiaoqiang.

The court talks began.

All the ministers were silent and had no enthusiasm to come out to report the matter. Perhaps they were also guessing that since Zhang Yanling was here, his affairs must be given priority, otherwise why would the emperor ask him to come?

"Boy Jianchang, why are you here today?" However, the emperor's words made the atmosphere a little dull.

Judging from the emperor's words, even the emperor didn't know that Zhang Yanling was coming?!

Zhang Yanling walked out from behind Zhou Jing and bowed and said, "If you say goodbye to Your Majesty, I am just a routine meeting and the call is right."

"Yes." Zhu Youzhang didn't say much.

Zhang Yanling is also the right minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Logically speaking, Zhang Yanling should participate in the daily court meeting, but Zhang Yanling is too "lazy" and unwilling to come, but it does not mean that he is not qualified to come.

Zhu Youzang looked at Xu Pu and said, "Gei Master Xu, summarize the major and minor matters related to the Pavilion Department these two days, and let's keep everything simple today."

From simple?

Could it be that you save time and leave it to Zhang Yanling to report?

Xu Pu said: "Your Majesty, it is the time for autumn grain to be stored in the warehouse. The collection of autumn grains in various places has not been summarized yet, so it will take five or six days or even ten days before the summary of various places can be achieved. As for the gap after the military farming in the northwest, it will be sorted and summarized at that time."

"Yes." Zhu Youzhang just nodded again.

Judging from the dialogue between the monarch and his subjects, it is probably nothing important to discuss this court discussion.

The Ming Dynasty's dynasty talks were held every day, and major events happened every day in the Ming Dynasty. There were times when hanging them. The Hongzhi Dynasty could be considered a political and peaceful state and peace, and it would not make the ministers worry every day.

Xu Pu said again: "Today, if Jianchang Bo comes to the court, he may have important matters to report. It is better to let him..."

As he said that, Xu Pu also looked at him.

He actually asked Zhang Yanling to report the matter?

Not to mention the emperor and the ministers present, even Zhang Yanling felt a little surprised.

Lao Xu, you can.

I haven't competed with me for a few days. I suddenly felt that life had lost its meaning and wanted to have a verbal debate with me to show your civil servants' incompetence in advance?

Zhu Youzhe said: "Since Master Xu said so, Uncle Jianchang, if you have something to do, please report it."

Zhang Yanling said helplessly: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to report."

Many people looked at Zhang Yanling with resentment, as if they were saying, "If you want to play, why are you still pushing the ball? We don't know who you are?"

When we see you in the court, we know that we have to compete with you. Don’t think that you are here to shirk responsibility, and we don’t know your sinister intentions!

What to install?

"If you don't say it, then I'll ask you." Zhu Youzhang said with great interest, "How are you investigating the case of King Ning?"

Zhang Yanling said: "When you go back to your Majesty, there has been significant progress in the case of Ning Wang. The industry involved in Ning Wang is sealed in various places. The preliminary total and discount estimate is 730,000 taels of silver. Because some real estate, that is, land and houses, may take some time to sell. The amount of money and grain that can be stored in the early stage has been discounted by more than 500,000 taels and is being stored in the warehouse one after another."

After listening to Zhang Yanling's words, the ministers present were actually very comfortable, except for being a little unwilling to accept it.

Nothing else.

Just because this means that the Ming Dynasty should not owe the ministers’ salaries and rice this year, and even give some “bonus”. Who made the Ming Dynasty’s treasury get so many “unexpected joys” without the plan?

"Very good." Zhu Youzhang seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Yanling's report in his words.

Xu Pu said: "Your Majesty, there have been reports from local governments that this case involving King Ning's rebellion involves many innocent people, especially merchants from all over the world. They are not involved in King Ning... Jianchang Bo naturally said that there is conclusive evidence, but there is a lot of evidence that has not been disclosed, which has caused more discussion among the people, and it should calm the public's doubts."

This time, Xu Pu did not question whether Zhang Yanling had conclusive evidence, but only said that this caused public discussion.

This roughly means that you either release the merchants you accidentally arrested and return their property, or you can provide tangible evidence to calm public opinion.

Zhu Youzhang frowned slightly and said, "Now the people are also starting to discuss this case?"

He seemed to not understand why the Cao people could discuss the cases involving nobles in the court. Shouldn’t the people avoid such things?

Xiao Jing said: "When you go back to your Majesty, because the case of King Ning is too big, so...there are people's discussions."

Even Xiao Jing, who was in charge of the East Factory, said this. The ministers present suddenly felt confident. This was what you, Zhang Yanling, came to us to question. Even if you can't press you down, it would be great to make you feel anxious.

As long as you are in a state of turmoil, you will definitely not have so much attention to going against us.

Zhu Youzhe said: "Brother Jianchang, what do you think about this?"

Zhang Yanling sighed: "I have actually expected that King Ning is a hereditary vassal king since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. He has a high status among royal relatives, so his case will naturally receive more attention..."

"Talk about the key points." Zhu Youzhang felt a little impatient again.

When Zhang Yanling looked at Zhu Youting's face, he knew that this brother-in-law had taken a lot of pills recently and his complexion was obviously very bad. He actually wanted to ask Zhu Youting and his wife, how can your recent life in the room be harmonious?

It's so vulnerable, can you all stand it?

Zhang Yanling said: "Since there are already discussions among the people and I have already made a countermeasure, my idea is to give the families involved in the case a chance to appeal."

"Appeal?" Zhu Youzhang frowned.

Zhang Yanling nodded and said, "Your Majesty, it is a complaint, that is, they can sue the yamen. The court specially set up a small yamen in the Ministry of Justice, and the Ministry of Justice can arrange two chiefs to be responsible. If someone thinks that the property was confiscated and confiscated, and thinks that he has nothing to do with the Ning Wang case, then he can make an injustice."

"Not only can the Ministry of Justice ask about the case, but also the Dali Temple and the six people in charge of the case supervised. At the same time, His Majesty can also send people from the Dongchang and Jinyiwei to listen and supervise. At the same time, the case can be tried publicly so that the people can know the reasons."

"Yes." Zhu Youzhang nodded, as if he thought this suggestion was pretty good.

Xu Pu said: "Brother Jianchang, why should you be so troublesome? You can just take out all the evidence of the crime involved in the case and make it public to the world, wouldn't it be enough?"

"hehe."

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Ge-Lady Xu, you should know that this case involves many matters involving royal relatives. For example, King Ning usually has contacts with nobles in the court, and the merchants who were seized may not only serve the Ning Wang family. There are some powerful people in the court behind them. In fact, they are doing business with hundreds of families and acting as officials and businessmen."

"If the evidence of the case is made public, I am afraid that many people will be involved...you are sure that the impact of the case will be further expanded, so that everyone in the court and the public will be in danger?"

"this……"

Xu Pu did not expect that Zhang Yanling did not disclose the evidence, but did not want to expand the case and protect the nobles and ministers involved in the court who were involved with King Ning?

When did you, Zhang Yanling, become so kind?

Li Dongyang suddenly walked out and said, "But if you follow the method you said in Jianchang Bo, let the merchants appeal on their own and let the people listen, wouldn't that make the case expand?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "That's different. What the court has to do now is to calm public opinion and let the people know that the court should be open and transparent, not really open and transparent. At that time, we will make any public disclosure and not what we don't make any public. Then the person who is in charge of the case will be responsible? We will make any public disclosure of what merchants complain about. We will not be innocent, and then they all come to appeal, right?"

Zhang Yanling finished speaking.

The ministers present were talking.

It seems that they are discussing feasibility, but in fact they are all talking about Zhang Yanling secretly, thinking that Zhang Yanling regards the judicial system of the Ming Dynasty as a joke.

Zhu You said: "Ministry of Justice, what do you think?"

Bai Ang, the Minister of Justice, walked out and said, "Return to Your Majesty, I think this is inappropriate."

"Oh?" Zhu Youzhang seemed to have expected the Ministry of Justice to object.

Bai Ang continued: "If a businessman is setting a precedent for complaining on his own, the yamen will definitely be filled with people coming to complain. Even those who are guilty will be lucky. At that time, the yamen will not be enough, which will cause paralysis of the yamen's affairs."

Without discussing the feasibility from other things, we can actually talk about the efficiency of receiving complaints from the yamen.

Even the Ministry of Justice's discussions began to have a "clear perspective". In the eyes of many ministers, this "unfavorable trend" seemed to be caused by Zhang Yanling.

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "When I come to seek justice, there will be no consequences. Even those who beat the drums will be punished, let alone the family property was seized by the court and was already a guilty person? When I seized the merchants of Ningwang, I had achieved the greatest tolerance. I was confiscated and confiscated his property, but the people and animals were not confiscated, and I also left the appropriate family property for living."

"If someone is ungrateful and insists on appealing, if the complaint is done, then they will naturally return their property, but if it fails... then they will simply be punished and people and animals will not be kept."

"Yes." Zhu Youtang nodded again.

The emperor was a fence-in-law, only responsible for responding, not saying anything.

Li Dongyang said: "What if someone dispersed his family first and placed them everywhere, and then came to appeal?"

Zhang Yanling smiled and said, "Such a person is obviously determined to fight to the death and fight for trapped beasts. What should the court pay attention to him? Isn't it better to issue a notice to ask them to come to appeal and concentrate all their families in the capital and then appeal?"

"You..." Even Li Dongyang was speechless this time.

You are not giving people a chance to appeal. You simply want to make people lose their money. Most of the merchants know the rules in the political arena. Since they were defeated by the wrong team, how dare they fight with the powerful?

Zhang Yanling seemed to have no idea that there was so much inside information in it, and continued to report: "As long as the complaint is issued, let the people know that merchants can appeal on their own, but if the merchants do not come to appeal, it will inevitably mean that they think they are guilty. The people will naturally stop talking about those who are arrested by mistake, intentionally expanding the case, etc., and public opinion will be calmed down."

Zhu Youzhang finally nodded and said, "This idea is also a way to calm people's discussions. You guys, what are your opinions?"

All the ministers were like mute eating coptis chinensis.

When facing Zhang Yanling, they are sometimes really speechless.

"Since you have no objection to your family, then this matter will be decided first. Jianchang Bo formulates a specific strategy, which will be implemented by the Ministry of Justice and Dali Temple, and the Dongchang also cooperates with the execution... In addition, Shuntian Prefecture is not suitable for the Ministry of Justice. Shuntian Prefecture is not suitable for trialing the case, and it is not impossible for the people to listen. If the yamen are really not able to have enough manpower, it can also be transferred to the county yamen of Daxing and Wanping County."

"If there is anything involved in case files, contact Jianchangbo directly. Jianchangbo is not responsible for this, but he must also participate."

Zhu Youzhang finally gave a final decision.

Zhang Yanling said respectfully: "I obey the order."
To be continued...
