Ning Wang Zhu Quan's desire to survive was ridiculously strong, he pulled his neck and shouted, life is no longer a matter of length for him, but to be able to live for a while.

"Your Majesty, give the guilty minister a chance to reform and serve the Ming Dynasty! The criminal minister is willing to confess to his comrades, and he is willing to identify the traitorous and corrupt officials, and clear out the traitorous ministers for His Majesty! ”

He screamed at the top of his voice, but the group of Wenchen were dumbfounded, they were all stupid.

I've seen shameless, I've never seen such shameless, if you rebel and damn it, you should be a hero, forget about being stabbed, how can you still pull the innocent?

We are all good people, clean officials, great loyal ministers, believe it or not, dig out our hearts, we are all red.

"Fu Guogong, Zhu Quan is talking nonsense, what he said can no longer be used as evidence, and the lower officials think that they should be killed immediately to set an example!"

Quaint loud suggestion.

When his words fell, Zhu Quan scolded.

"You are Yu Xin's henchmen, he eats meat, and you also drink soup! What kind of good guy are you pretending? Don't think that no one knows what virtue you are! I have in my hands the evidence of your greed for disaster relief food! ”

"You, you!" Gu Pu's face turned pale, and he fought back angrily, but his words sounded trembling and seemed to lack confidence.

Zhu Quan was even more proud, and kept scolding the civil officials.

"Are you clean? There are so many Mingjiao henchmen hidden in Beiping. They all dare to kill the Son of Heaven, and you turn a blind eye, you are derelict in your duties! ”

"How much money did the Mingjiao bandits give you? I have an account here, do you want me to publish it so that everyone is finished? Hahaha! ”

……

Crazy, really crazy!

Zhu Quan blamed one after another.

The civil officials present couldn't listen to it anymore, and the cabinet minister Yang Rong took two steps closely, and when he arrived in front of Liu Chun, he bowed down and said: "Fu Guogong, this person has lost his heart, and the meaning of climbing is very clear, and the lower officials think that they should be beheaded immediately to prevent future troubles." ”

Liu Chun pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled, "Master Yang, since everyone knows that he is climbing, why bother!" I'll let him say it, and see what he can say. After all, there is a saying that everyone knows, those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid! Right? ”

Yang Rong was choked enough, "Lord Liu, the lower officials think that stabilizing people's hearts is the most important thing at this moment, and please think about the overall situation, the capital is in chaos!" ”

With him taking the lead, many Wenchen rushed up and proposed to Liu Chun that Zhu Quan should be killed as soon as possible.

How do you know that Liu Chun was unmoved, "Ladies and gentlemen, if you have this thought, you might as well think about it, why are there so many Mingjiao thieves in Beiping?" As the commander of the Jinyi Guard, I also want to ask Your Majesty for my guilt! ”

After saying this, Liu Chun turned around and entered the palace and went to meet Zhu Di.

The rest of the ministers, you look at me, I look at you, they are all dumbfounded.

They already have a premonition that an unprecedented rectification is imminent. Whether it is Yu Xin or Zhu Quan, they have too many secrets in their stomachs, and there are too many people who can be involved.

The Manchu Dynasty was civil and military, all trembling, and who died and who lived next, really only God knows.

Sure enough, not long after Liu Chun entered the palace, a holy decree came, Zhu Di appointed Zhu Yong as the commander of the five cities, and stipulated that the commander was responsible for the Son of Heaven.

This decree immediately stunned the courtiers.

Zhu Di's mind couldn't be clearer.

There were so many Mingjiao thieves in Beiping, and all the yamen turned a blind eye, and the thieves dared to attack the Son of Heaven with the intention of killing the king...... The imperial court has raised so many officials, are they all eating dry food?

Zhu Di granted Zhu Yong great power, and directly transferred manpower from the forbidden army to enrich him. To put it bluntly, Zhu Yong, who was young, suddenly became the commander of the Beijing garrison, holding real power.

If Jin Yiwei focuses on investigation and supervision, then Zhu Yong is complicated to arrest and take people, and he is full of action.

After he took office, the first thing he did was to arrest people!

Anything related to Mingjiao, none of them can escape. From the people to the imperial court, a great net of terror has been opened. Catch it when it should be caught, and there is no politeness to talk about.

The prison of Shuntianfu was full, the criminal department was full, and even the Jinyi Guard Prison was full of people.

Zhu Yong carried out Zhu Di's will perfectly, without the slightest discount.

At this moment, the entire officialdom was miserable and gloomy.

No one knows if bad luck will befall them? Three days passed, and more than 100 officials above the seventh rank were taken down.

In particular, the household department headed by Yu Xin is the hardest hit area, and there are only three officials left in the thirteen Qing Divisions, and the rest have all been taken down.

The household department was empty, and the Ministry of Engineering was not much better, and the two waiters were directly taken down.

The rest of the military department and the official department were also involved.

Now that many yamen are empty, if you want to find someone to do something, it is more convenient to go to the prison, after all, there are many more officials there than there are yamen!

This machine of the entire Daming Dynasty, almost overnight, lay halfway down!

"His Royal Highness the Prince, at this time, only His Highness has the ability to turn the tide!" Hu Guang, a scholar, knelt in front of Zhu Gaochi. As Zhu Zhanji's current teacher, Hu Guang felt that he had hope to move Zhu Gaochi.

"Mr. Hu, what do you want me to do?"

Zhu Gaochi leaned on the wide Taishi chair and said quietly.

Hu Guang knelt and climbed half a step, kowtowing.

"Your Highness, during this period of time, the situation in the court has been turbulent, and major events have continued to happen. Now that hundreds of officials are in prison, there are many government affairs in the imperial court that no one has to deal with. Especially the household department, which is in charge of the world's wealth, is now like an empty yamen. If order is not restored as soon as possible, the whole world will be in chaos! ”

"The minister didn't want to speak for those corrupt officials, and the minister wanted to kill them to relieve the hatred in his heart. Kechen thinks that the top priority is to put the country and the world first. Corrupt officials and corrupt officials can be investigated slowly, but state affairs cannot be delayed. The minister's heart is all for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, and he also invites His Royal Highness to be clear. ”

After Hu Guang finished speaking, he lay on the ground. He thought that these heartfelt words could move Zhu Gaochi. But who knows. His Royal Highness the chubby Crown Prince was not moved at all.

Hu Guang's set, at first glance, is very reasonable. The so-called focusing on the overall situation and taking into account the overall situation is a helpless choice in many cases.

The Son of Heaven is also a person, and he can't go against a lot of people. At the critical moment, it is also necessary to bow your head.

But Zhu Gaochi knows that some things can't be delayed, let alone sloppy.

"Yu Xin has been in charge of the household department for many years, and now the entire fiscal and taxation system has rotten, and hundreds of millions of state funds and people's wealth every year are managed in the hands of a group of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, who suck the blood of the Ming Dynasty, fill their own pockets, and do all kinds of evil."

"It's especially hateful, they actually colluded with Mingjiao to try to kill the king and kill their father, and things have come to this point. I would like to ask Mr. Hu, what is the big picture? What could be more important than this? If even this kind of thing can be put aside for the time being, then does Daming still have right and wrong? Is there still a royal law? ”

Zhu Gaochi questioned Hu Guang like a cannon.

The erudite bachelor was dumbfounded and didn't know how to answer. In a trance, he seemed to see Zhu Di possessed.

"Your Highness, the ministers don't know right from wrong, and protect those people...... Kechen thinks that to deal with the country's finances, in the end, it still depends on those people, and he can't lose big because of small things! ”

Zhu Gao snorted coldly, "Don't worry, Daming is so big, there are many capable people, and talents are everywhere." The operation of the household department is difficult for me, and it is even more difficult for my father to live. ”

Hu Guang's head buzzed, and he fell into a complete mess.

What do His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's words mean? Could it be that there is really a way to replace the household department? If the household ministry can be replaced, what about the other ministries?

Speaking of which, the most important weapon in the hands of civil officials is the four words "the overall situation is important".

Take it now, Zhu Di is already mad and must be investigated to the end.

If the case can be investigated, it will affect the normal operation of official business, and even shut down the household department.

No country can survive without taxes.

It won't be long before the world is in chaos.

Hu Guang came forward to find Zhu Gaochi, because he was sure that His Majesty would compromise, and he only needed to find a step for Zhu Di. This guy was full of confidence, but he never expected it.

Even Zhu Gaochi couldn't convince him, he was too much of a failure!

Hu Guang was uneasy, lost his soul all the way, and returned to the cabinet duty.

The three scholars waiting here are like ants on a hot pot.

His Majesty did not summon them for several days.

As a close minister of the Son of Heaven, he has to meet the king almost every day to discuss government affairs, and it is really abnormal to not see the Son of Heaven for three consecutive days.

"The Auxiliary Duke has been accompanying His Majesty for the past few days. If it is expected, Your Majesty must have done something amazing again. Jin Youzi said helplessly.

He could only pray that Zhu Di could raise his noble hand a little, their small body really couldn't bear it!

As if in response to their prayers, Zhu Di ordered all four scholars in the cabinet to be called.

Zhu Di's eyes were bloodshot, but his spirit was very sufficient.

"In the past few days, I have repeatedly discussed with the Auxiliary State Princess, how to rectify the finances and taxes. I finally have some lessons. Zhu Di said happily: "I plan to fully implement a whip law!" ”

"A whip?" Yang Rong was puzzled.

"That is, all the fiscal and tax fields are uniformly converted into currency, and the court collects taxes and only collects coins. In this way, accounting supervision will be much easier. Like Yu Xin and others, they can't take the opportunity to make money. ”

Yang Rong bowed and said: "Your Majesty Shengming, it's just that the household is empty at the moment, how to implement the new law, and the minister also asks Your Majesty for guidance." ”

Zhu Di laughed, "The household is empty? That's a big deal! He turned his head and said, "Liu Chun, I handed over the errand of the household department to you Jinyiwei, maybe take on it?" ”

Liu Chun said with a smile: "Please rest assured, Your Majesty, Jinyiwei has always supervised the imperial budget, and there are really some talents who are rough about finance and taxation." ”

Zhu Di said again: "Look at what you say, it's not just the household department that is empty, but also the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of War, can you Jinyi Wei pick it up?" ”

Liu Chun said: "It depends on Your Majesty's holy will, as long as Your Majesty nods, the ministers can only bravely shoulder the heavy burden, and they will not give in." ”

Zhu Di laughed happily, "Okay, Jinyiwei is really the Son of Heaven's pro-army, and he can share my worries." You have done a good job of the household affairs first, let the government and the opposition take a good look! ”
