Emperor Chongzhen knew that there were huge problems with tax collection in the Ming Dynasty, but what was even more terrifying was the corruption at the hands of his superiors and subordinates.

The military pay allocated by the imperial court, the money used for disaster relief, and all kinds of expenditures, after being exploited at all levels, very few can be put into practice.

It is unrealistic to expect significant results in a short period of time for the item of "collection". If officials do not manage it clearly, they cannot solve the actual problem.

For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen's solution was to wait for the situation in the court to be clear, and then take advantage of Yuan Chonghuan's case to add Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, to the cabinet, and ask him to handle the affairs of the Household Department and take charge of the finance of the Ming Dynasty.

Although Bi Ziyan can be considered a member of the Donglin Party, his style of doing things is pragmatic. Asking him to work in the field he is good at can relieve himself a lot of pressure.

When dealing with the Donglin Party, we cannot kill them with one blow. Those who are pragmatic, talkative, and plot all day long must be resolutely defeated.

Those who are pragmatic and capable of training, such as Bi Ziyan, must be placed in corresponding positions, and through corresponding events, they must be absorbed into the imperial party.

Bi Ziyan's talents need to be exploited and reused. With him at the front, if any problems arise, he, the great emperor, will be able to take some initiative and not be too passive.

Based on the current situation, Emperor Chongzhen must try to avoid one thing, which is to end up personally and compete with the ministers in the court. This would be too detrimental to the dignity of the emperor and would also put himself in an extremely passive situation.

The operation of the imperial palace under the name of the inner court is the first step to solve the unspoken rules formed by the "support". Through this operation, a group of professional property raiding teams will be cultivated to deter corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty officialdom.

, and through corresponding measures, the trend of eradicating corruption will be gradually formed. If done properly, Emperor Chongzhen will occupy an extremely favorable political advantage.

"Brother Hezhong, have you heard about it?"

After finishing his errands, Li Banghua came to Wang Qia with mixed emotions and said straight to the point: "Wang Cheng'en and Fang Zhenghua, who are beside your Majesty, led a large number of eunuchs from the inner court to leave the capital. In fact, they followed your Majesty's oral instructions to investigate."

The name of the inner court is Huangzhuang."

"Is there such a thing?"

Wang Qia, who was so busy, suddenly heard this, his face changed slightly and he said: "Brother Meng An, where did you get this news? Is it reliable?

If this is the case, it will be a great thing for the Ming Dynasty. Previously, the inner court had too much momentum, Your Majesty..."

"Brother He Zhong, things are not as simple as you think."

Li Banghua sighed softly and frowned: "Do you know where Wang Cheng'en, the eunuch of the inner court led by Li Banghua, came from?"

"Um?"

Wang Qia was confused. If the eunuchs of the inner court were not from the inner court, where did they come from?

Seeing this, Li Banghua stepped forward and whispered: "According to the information I know, not long after His Majesty's triumphant return to the court, he summoned Wang Cheng'en and Fang Zhenghua, and also set up the Da Neixing Factory and the Xiji Business Factory.

This time we investigated the imperial village under the name of the inner court, and the eunuchs dispatched by the inner court were all under the name of the inner factory and the west factory..."

"How could your Majesty behave like this?"

Wang Qia's expression changed drastically, and he blurted out: "In the inner court, there was already the East Factory, and now there are the Inner Factory and the West Factory, so the Imperial Court..."

"Brother He Zhong, be careful what you say!"

Seeing Wang Qia being so excited, Li Banghua hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him: "If these words reach His Majesty, both you and I will be in big trouble. Especially under the current political situation, some things must not be said carelessly."

During the time when the rebels invaded the Ming Dynasty, and he was selected into this special military aircraft department, and then went on the expedition, Li Banghua saw the emperor's methods, the bottomless city, and the emperor's ins and outs.

The difference often makes Li Banghua feel palpitated.

When Yuan Chonghuan was detained in the imperial edict, and the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty were watching here, the emperor quietly found a new way to establish the Da Neixing Factory and the Xiji Service Factory. He ordered his trusted Wang Cheng'en, Fang Zhenghua, to chop the knife into

The imperial palace under the name of the inner court.

If there were no Neichang and Xichang, Li Banghua would definitely be very happy when he found out about this. After all, the eunuchs in charge of the Imperial Village have done countless things over the years.

But the problem lies in the inner and west factories.

At this moment, Li Banghua could even imagine the reaction of some courtiers in the court who knew about this matter.

"...Yuansuke, what do you think of this matter?"

At that time, in the Wenhua Hall, Li Biao looked ugly, looked at Han Xu and said: "Your Majesty's initiative to renovate the imperial village under the name of the inner court is a good thing for the country.

But how can I accept the sudden appearance of the inner factory and the western factory?

There is an East Factory and a Jinyi Guard. All previous performances have revealed that His Majesty wants to reuse factory guards. Now there are an Inner Factory and a West Factory.

There must be a traitor around His Majesty..."

"Okay, don't talk about this anymore."

Han Xu waved his hand and interrupted: "You are not clear about His Majesty's changes. In the current situation of the court, if we really try to persuade him, it will definitely arouse His Majesty's suspicion.

Your Majesty has not made any announcement about the inner factory and the west factory. We have learned about it from the local area and really want to ask your Majesty to investigate it further. I don’t know what kind of trouble is going to happen here in Beizhili."

As early as when Wang Cheng'en and Fang Zhenghua led the inner and west factories to leave the capital in large numbers, some courtiers used their connections to go to the places where the eunuchs of the inner court had gone to seek clues so that they could know more about it.

Some deep meanings behind this.

However, the summary of the situation shocked the courtiers. The Da Neixing Factory and Xiji Shi Factory, which had been deposed before, were actually brought up by Emperor Chongzhen.

Although Neichang and Xichang were acting against Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court, no one dared to think too much about what role Neichang and Xichang would play in the future.

Even some courtiers could not help but have the idea that the emperor would reuse factory guards and destroy the existing order of the country.

In fact, not only the ministers of the outer dynasties began to worry about what Emperor Chongzhen had done, but many eunuchs, including the twelve eunuchs, four divisions and eight bureaus of the inner court, also became worried.

The leaders were Eunuch Bingbi, the Superintendent of Ceremonies, and Cao Huachun, the Supervisor of the Dongji Office.

Under the background of reusing their Dongchang, Emperor Chongzhen suddenly established the Da Neihang Factory and the Xijishu Factory. Does this mean he does not trust the Dongchang?

The key point is that this sudden review of Huangzhuang under the name of the inner court has also affected the hearts of many people in the inner court. After all, people like Cao Huachun know what the virtues of Huangzhuang are, and many of them even took money.
