"Emperor, the Qin prisoner Cui Ningxiu fled to Dengzhou and was riding on the official ship that my Ming Dynasty transported food and wages to Dongjiang. This is obvious. In Dengzhou, there were spies lurking in the Ming Dynasty. In order to fear civil strife in the army, the emperor issued an order to recall the eunuchs in the army and did not investigate and punish a number of eunuchs in the army. Therefore, the empress suggests that the court cannot tolerate these officials who had been in contact with the eunuchs. Now they secretly took the imperial prisoner out of the sea, which further shows that some of them were still dissatisfied with the emperor's ascension. Once Nanjing invades the north, would these lurking people fall into the court in a doomed place when they responded!" Yang He, the Minister of Justice, came out and asked earnestly.

"Yang Aiqing means to let me raise a prison?" Zhu Yinglong didn't consider these things, but he still had some concerns. The stable situation was hard-won. This war intensified the prison might be a shock to the government and the people. Moreover, he was also afraid that the prison would be prosperous. If it was not good, it would be infinitely expanded and would not end at that time. Therefore, the investigation and punishment of officials of the eunuch party have been carried out in a low-key manner. Because the culprits and evils fled to Nanjing, the remaining fish and shrimps were caught, tried and sentenced, and there was no meaning. As the war in Liaodong broke out again, he followed the negotiations with the Later Jin Dynasty and piled up state affairs. He almost forgot about this matter. If it weren't for Cui Ningxiu taking an official boat to sea, he wouldn't have remembered it for a while!

"I definitely don't mean this. I really want the court to be able to let these officials who have affair with the eunuch party."

"What about your opinions, are you?"

"I think what Lord Yang He and Yang said is reasonable. If these people are not severely punished, today is an imperial criminal Cui Ningxiu. There may be ten or a hundred Cui Ningxiu next!" Zhou Tingru, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, said.

"I'm going to discuss it!"

"I'm going to discuss it!"

There were a dozen officials standing on the united front at once.

"I don't agree with my opinion on Lord Yang He and Yang!" Huang Zunsu, the Minister of Personnel, stood up and said loudly.

Zhu Yinglong breathed a sigh of relief and finally had an objection. This not only gave himself time to think carefully about the decision, but also could hear different opinions. Listening to both sides will make it clear, and listening to it will make it dark.

"Huang Aiqing, please tell me!"

"Your Majesty, my colleagues, I strongly agree with what Lord Yang and Lord Zhou said just now that they should not let these people go. However, although Liaodong has ceased to negotiate, the domestic political situation has just stabilized. If there is a big fight at this time, wouldn't the emperor and his colleagues have been working hard for the past two months?"

"Then Lord Huang, should you let these people go to justice?" Yang He asked.

"Of course, we can't let these people go to justice. Lord Yang misinterprets my meaning. The court naturally needs to investigate and punish these people seriously, but it cannot cause turmoil inside and outside the court because of the investigation and punishment, so there is an opportunity for people to take advantage of it. Therefore, the empress suggests that the emperor issue an order to secretly select smart and capable people to go down to investigate and investigate. Do not make big fuss, so as not to make panic among the officials below. After all, officials from several northern provinces under the imperial court were held in office by the previous dynasty, and they have more or less contact with the eunuch party. If these officials learn that the court is going to investigate and punish officials who have had relationships with the eunuch party, wouldn't everyone be in danger? Who will have the heart to manage the land, military and civilians for the imperial court and the emperor?"

"Huang Aiqing's statement is reasonable. The stability of the north is really hard-won. I don't want to make a big fuss for the time being. These people need to be investigated, but they can't be found out in a short time. So what I mean is that the Censorate will send some people to conduct open and secret investigations. With conclusive evidence, I will naturally handle it strictly." Zhu Yinglong thought for a while.

Yang He and Zhou Tingru naturally heard the meaning of the emperor's words. Now the focus of the court is on "stability". The officials of the eunuch party are involved too widely. If they really investigate and deal with it seriously, nearly one-fifth of the officials in various northern provinces can be thrown into prison. Wouldn't this country be in chaos?

"What do you think about Cui Ningxiu taking the official ship to Dongjiang to go to sea on a ship transporting food and wages?"

"Reporting to the emperor, I believe that Cui Ningxiu has only two ways to go to sea on an official boat. One is to go directly to Mao Wenlong's place in Dongjiang. The other is to transfer the boat on the sea and go south to Nanjing. However, as far as I know, many generals and officials in the Dengzhou garrison were Mao Wenlong's direct descendants. Cui Ningxiu took a sea boat that transported food and wages to Dongjiang. Therefore, I believe that Cui Ningxiu should be in Dongjiang at this time!" Liu Zongzhou, the Minister of Works, went out to analyze.

"In this way, doesn't this Mao Wenlong have the intention to rebel?" Zhu Yinglong said with a serious expression.

"I think that it is not enough to be the case now. Mao Wenlong lives on the island, and most of the demand needs to be supplied on land. If he rebels at this time, wouldn't he cut off his own way? With his speculative personality, he would never make such a stupid decision." Zhang Shenyan, the right censor, heard.

"What Lord Zhang said is that Emperor, Mao Wenlong is greedy, has a fishy and disrespectful order, but he is good at speculation and has some brains. He will not do such stupid things at this time. Before the court decides the victory and defeat with the pseudo-Ming, he will only watch coldly and will not be inclined to either side." Sun Chengzong stood out and said.

"Old President Sun means that Mao Wenlong will sit in the mountains and watch the tiger fight. Whoever wins will turn to?" How could Zhu Yinglong not understand?

It would be great if Cui Ningxiu was caught in her hands! Zhu Yinglong sighed in his heart, it was a pity.

"Emperor, Mao Wenlong is so ruthless, he must not let him go. I see that this criminal prisoner Cui Ningxiu was secretly instructed by him to secretly rescue his subordinates in Dengzhou." Yang He said.

"Okay, let's put aside the Mao Wenlong case. As long as he does not rebel now, does not surrender to the enemy, he can stay in Dongjiang safely. As for the Qin offender Cui Ningxiu, he should not be able to return to Nanjing now, so this matter will come to an end." Zhu Yinglong could not think of a way to completely solve Mao Wenlong and not affect the strategic island of Dongjiang, so he had to agree with this reality and then continued, "The most important matter of the court at present is to go with the Later Jin Dynasty.

Negotiation, second, properly arrange the refugees who are suffering from disasters to spend the winter, third, increase revenue and reduce expenditure, all industries are waiting to be developed, fourth, refresh the administration of officials, talent training and selection, fifth, form a new army, this is a summary of the five major things that I should do for the current court. First, it is being done, the court has reached some agreements with the Later Jin Dynasty, and it will take some time to come out in the final terms, second, the Ministry of Revenue is already doing, third, I have listed four items before, I will not say more, fourth, about the government of officials

New, don't be too hasty. The Ministry of Personnel first came up with a safe plan to cultivate and select talents. I have decided to set up two universities. One is to study classics, history, and the ability to govern the country. I plan to sign up for all students who have achieved the reputation of scholars to study. The other is to focus on miscellaneous studies such as strange skills and tricks that the ministers look down on, and to cultivate some specialized talents for the country. This type of admission is very wide, as long as you can read more than two thousand

All can be admitted. In addition, I have also asked the Ministry of War to set up a military academy to systematically cultivate national military command talents. I personally serve as the dean, and the Minister of War Wenyuan Pavilion, Sun Chengzong, the Grand Secretary of the Ministry of War, serve as the vice president. The address of the academy was selected in Tongzhou. The fifth, the Beijing Camp has been rectified for nearly two months and has achieved results. I have decided to train a new army, implement new training methods, and strive to form combat effectiveness within one year, and become an invincible powerful army in three years! What do you think of the ministers?"
