The voice of the emperor's grandson is very familiar to everyone.
Zhan Hui and others turned their backs to the palace gate, but they were frightened when they heard it.
Why did the emperor's grandson suddenly come to Huagai Palace?
Originally, Zhan Hui and others were surprised and surprised that Prince Yan would be in the Huagai Hall.
Now I see my grandson is here too.
For a moment, Zhan Hui and others felt guilty for no reason.
It was as if they were about to do something, but before they could do it, they were caught on the spot.
No.
It’s not that they haven’t done it yet, but they have just impeached Prince Yan.
"Your Highness..."
"I will see you, Your Highness..."
Zhan Hui and others' faces were tense. They turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi who walked in at a snail's pace, feeling a sudden rush in their hearts.
Looking behind the grandson, there are two young eunuchs in the palace, each holding a pile of memorials.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the group of bachelors and ministers and nodded: "You are exempt from courtesy."
Then he turned to the two young eunuchs following him and waved his hand to the place where his father handled the imperial memorials: "Put it over to the prince first."
After giving the instructions, Zhu Yunxi walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Grandson, see you grandpa."
"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily and squinted at his eldest grandson standing in front of him: "When you come to grandpa at this time, are you also here to get some food?"
The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face became even brighter: "Isn't this just a coincidence? My grandson hasn't eaten a grain of rice since last night."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his eyes and glared: "Sun Gou, hurry up and ask someone to bring food over."
Sun Gouer nodded hurriedly, turned around and left the side hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Yunxi with a smile on his face and asked him to sit next to him: "I just asked the Xu family boy to stew the Luzhou Prefecture chicken soup this morning. I will eat more later."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a bright face: "Grandpa still remembers his grandson."
But I sighed slightly in my heart, pretending to be too tired.
The chicken soup noodles I just ate before entering the palace, I am afraid I will have to eat a whole chicken later to satisfy the old man.
On the other side, Zhan Hui and others looked at the harmonious family relationship between the Tian family's grandfather and grandson, but they were filled with bitterness.
Co-author: There was a tense atmosphere just now because of the impeachment of Prince Yan, but now it is nothing?
Zhan Hui coughed lightly and looked at Yu Xin, the Grand Scholar of Wenhua Palace and the Minister of Household Affairs.
Yu Xin was also a little hesitant at this time.
Now His Majesty is still in the mood of teasing his grandson. He disturbed others at this time, and he may have got into trouble. But it is useless not to mention the matter. Just now, with his sharp eyes, he clearly saw the pile of memorials brought by the grandson.
Inside, there is a memorial to impeach Prince Yan.
The most uncomfortable time is when you are neither up nor down.
Yu Xin quietly took a step forward, coughed lightly, and bowed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty just mentioned what we said about impeaching Prince Yan, and I thought it was biased."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and raised his brows: "Ah, there is another matter, please tell me, we will listen."
Zhu Yunxi also left his seat at this time and stood aside with his hands solemnly raised.
Yu Xin nodded and said in a deep voice: "I am Wan Jinbiao, the deputy tax director of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Taxation Office, who was involved in the murder of his family. The taxation office is responsible for the oversight, and it is not the fault of Prince Yan. However, Prince Yan ordered the tax office to
The occurrence of such things at the Shangyuan County Branch of the Taxation Department shows the daily management style of the Taxation Department.
The ministers and others believe that Prince Yan is young now and it is useless to take charge of the tax office, which is related to the country, the country and the country. It is inevitable that he will be unfamiliar. Even if he fails to observe, it is human common sense. Fortunately, today is just a tragedy of killing a family.
Now that a human life case has occurred, I believe that the court should clarify the canon of punishments based on emotion and reason, and provide justice to the people. We can also correct mistakes and stop losses as soon as possible to avoid the tax bureau and other public instruments of the state from being used again in the future.
Something happened."
According to the opinions of Yu Xin, Zhan Hui and others, although Prince Yan was impeached, the target of the attack must be aimed at the tax bureau.
Highlight the importance of the tax bureau in Ming Dynasty and attract attention.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yu Xin's remarks were very precise. They only mentioned the importance of the tax office, and they also brought out the issues that Central Plains politics are obsessed with, nip them in the bud.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already leaning forward, had a faint look in his eyes, and he pinched his fingers together and rubbed them slowly.
"This statement is reasonable. The state's official weapons cannot be changed, so we must be careful."
Zhan Hui raised his eyebrows and immediately took a step forward: "I believe that the imperial court still needs to be cautious when dealing with the tax office. Such a restructuring of local grain chiefs is something that will benefit hundreds of millions of people in the world, but it is also related to the Ming Dynasty.
Important matters in thirteen places, if you are not careful, it will cause an uproar."
After finishing speaking, Zhan Hui frowned and sighed softly: "Now in Yingtian City, an important place in the capital, there is a person from the tax office branch involved in the murder case. If the court does not act impartially and spreads it, the people should
What do you think?
The ministers and others of the Li family who were exterminated also checked the documents and archives of Yingtian Mansion. This family did not do any evil in normal times. This time, Yingtian Mansion's grain chief was reorganized, and the tax bureau checked the local taxes over the years. The Li family also did not
No problem.
Such a family actually died at the hands of someone in the tax bureau. How will the tax bureau carry out the restructuring in the future? People will probably feel scared when they hear about the people in the tax bureau, fearing them like a tiger."
Zhu Yuanzhang was leaning on the couch, his eyes passing over Zhan Hui and others, and finally towards Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting with the prince.
Zhu Yunxi frowned.
It is obvious that at this point the court's demands have been made clear.
Zhan Hui and the others want to get involved in the tax bureau, and they want to have the power of the tax bureau, or participate in the profit sharing, instead of being completely independent from the court like now and being controlled by the chieftain of the clan.
Zhan Hui and other civil servant leaders want to have more power, or to go further, they want less power directly in the hands of the monarch.
For more than twenty years, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were actually tired of having a king who was meticulous and showed no mercy in front of the law.
It was just because the king held a bloody butcher knife in his hand that they did not show it. But once they were given the opportunity, they would always want to test the feasibility.
Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, there is another secret about the case of Wan Jinbiao, the deputy tax director of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Tax Administration."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves and took a step back. He turned back and looked at Zhan Hui and others indifferently: "The tax office is also the culprit! I am in charge of the tax office. Today I want to vindicate the tax office in front of His Majesty! I also want to refute the court.
You guys, indiscriminately, put human lives and lawsuits on our tax office.
There are thousands of officials in the tax bureau, who have traveled to the countryside for months, and have not entered the house three times. They only work for the Ming Dynasty. They do not say they have merit, but they have worked hard. Now there is no public examination, so they have been harshly criticized. The tax bureau
It can be said that all officials are heartbroken."
The hearts of Zhan Hui and others were beating wildly. They knew clearly that since the grandson came here today, he must be speaking for the tax bureau. But now that the case has not been investigated clearly, they acted like they had been wronged.<
/p>
Yu Xin couldn't help but step forward and was about to speak.
But he saw that the grandson had already stretched out his hand and stared at him faintly.
Zhu Yunxi suppressed Yu Xin who wanted to speak, turned around and walked towards his father. Seeing that Xiaopang had stood up at this time, he reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder.
Then he bowed to the prince and said, "Father."
Zhu Biao nodded silently and looked at the memorials that his son had just brought over.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already picked up the basic memorials and opened them one by one under the gaze of everyone: "This is the memorial of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry impeaching the Tax Office and the Crown Prince of Yan, this is the memorial of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and this is the memorial of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry.
Memorial."
"These are the memorials of the Minister of Household Affairs and the deployment officials."
"These are the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the deployment officials."
"These books belong to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."
"There are also these, the memorials concerning the impeachment of our tax office and the Crown Prince Yan, involving the five departments of the imperial court."
Zhu Yunxi reported one by one who had submitted the memorials.
Then, he slapped it heavily on the table.
His eyes also darkened for a moment: "If I hadn't happened to meet someone from the General Affairs Office when I entered the palace today, I wouldn't have known that so many memorials were for impeaching our tax office and the Crown Prince Yan.
of."
"When did the Ming Dynasty actually develop the trend of impeachment before the crime was punished?"
Zhu Yunxi took a few steps forward again, his eyes became darker and his tone became more pressing: "What do you want to do? Are you going to start a party fight!"
A bang.
In the Canopy Hall, the atmosphere suddenly felt like falling into a cold winter ice cellar.
Dong dong dong.
Zhan Hui and others knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in an instant.
"I am just worried about the court because of the affairs of the tax office and thinking about the country of the Ming Dynasty. I have no intention of partisanship."
After saying that, several people fell to the ground.
Party strife is something no one dares to mention, let alone touch.
What did the former Song Dynasty die from?
The emperor is immoral, the court is treacherous, and the party is united and opposed.
And there is one thing that has to be admitted, that is, every time the former Song Dynasty tried to reform the political situation, it would trigger large-scale party strife, and then various new policies would end in vain or backfire.
And the country is also coming to an end in this struggle.
Party strife is the biggest taboo in the court.
However, Zhu Yunxi pressed forward step by step: "Since there is no partisanship in mind, why did the court officials conclude that this case was committed by Wan Jinbiao when the facts of the case were still unclear? Could it be that Jin Yiwei found out the whole story of the case and told you all?
”
"Today the case is unclear, so the imperial court can so aggressively denounce the tax bureau and the Crown Prince Yan who is serving the country. In the future, will it be possible for individuals to make unwarranted speculations and impeach colleagues in the court for no reason?"
"If there is a corruption case in the future, can I directly impeach your officials?"
"Or should we say that if the tax collected every year is even half a cent, we can hold your Ministry of Household accountable?"
"Every year, there are always troubles and even deaths. Can we also attribute the responsibility to the Ministry of War?"
"There was a case of massacre in Taiping, but Yingtian Mansion didn't notice it and didn't give any warning. As a local government, everyone in Yingtian Mansion, including Shangyuan County, should be sent outside the Great Wall!"
"Above the court, if you hear the wind, you will act without asking the reason, indiscriminately, and willfully frame the officials of the same dynasty. The fair laws of the Ming Dynasty are no longer in your eyes!"
Zhu Yunxi's voice became colder, and his face turned as cold as frost.
Zhan Hui and others did not dare to speak out.
"That's enough."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was leaning on the couch, finally frowned and interrupted in a deep voice.
Zhu Yunxi stopped speaking, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and took two steps back.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a low voice: "Since the grandson mentioned that the tax office has an grievance, I think there is another clue to the case, so I will make it clear here together, so as to avoid us having to continue the unreasonable entanglement."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has found out that the case was not committed by Wan Jinbiao. When the case occurred that night, the person who went to report the case to Wu Hou who patrolled the city was not a commoner in Taiping, but
Li Erfu, a tenant of the Li family."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly flashed: "Could it be that the tenants killed people and took their wealth?"
Zhan Hui and others couldn't help but raise their heads, surprised that Jin Yiwei could find the murderer so quickly.
In their opinion, this case is basically unsolvable.
Wan Jinbiao is a man who gets all the stolen goods. Unless the real murderer surrenders himself, otherwise it will be a headless case.
"No." Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and then glanced at Zhan Hui and the others coldly: "The murderers were several households adjacent to the Li family in Chunhua Town. During this restructuring of tax collectors and grain chiefs, they were investigated by the tax bureau and designated for relocation.
The people in Jiaozhi conspired to do this. Li Erfu was the one who betrayed the Li family and informed them."
For this truth.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he was also surprised and extremely surprised.
What I originally thought was that there was a brilliant plan behind this case, with interests intertwined and the truth confusing.
But who would have thought that just because some families in the countryside were indignant at their own experiences, unfairness, and the leader's troubles, they came up with the idea of hiding their children's identities and trying to seize the Li family's property.
.
Wan Jinbiao was an unlucky fool who got into trouble. Just when the crime happened, he was brought to the scene of the massacre of the Li family, and he took the blame.
If Zhang Hui had not interrogated these things himself, and repeated the interrogation three times, even the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital who had become research madmen began to complain that Zhang Hui's interrogation was too messy, Zhu Yunxi would not have paid half a cent.
I believe that the truth of the matter is so unexpected.
Zhan Hui and others' hearts tightened for no reason.
This case has really been cleared up.
Afterwards, several people felt relieved again.
As long as it is confirmed that several families adjacent to the Li family in Chunhua Town conspired to do it, then it is impossible for this matter to be involved in other places.
And Zhu Gaochi, who had been impeached since Zhan Hui and others entered the palace, suddenly stood up.
He was silent, walked steadily in front of the old man, and knelt down in a daze.
"Grandpa Huang, my grandson is wronged!"
Then, with a bang, his forehead was knocked on the gold brick in front of him.
Looking at the eldest son of the fourth family who was kneeling in front of him and crying out for injustice, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered slightly, but he never mentioned it to him.
Instead, he turned to look at Zhu Yunxi in front of him.
Only two days before the crime occurred, we were able to find the tipper Li Erfu, and we were able to determine that the real culprits of the murder were that family from Chunhua Town.
This method can be described as vigorous and resolute.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a little proud and moved in his eyes: "Are the facts of the case conclusive?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded firmly: "It's unmistakable. It won't be long before all the criminals are arrested and brought to justice by the Jinyi Guards."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at Zhan Hui and others who were kneeling on the ground and the prince of the fourth family: "In that case, let's wait for news from Jin Yiwei."
……
Dressed in a red flying fish uniform, the pro-army Jin Yiwei commander Jiang Wei entered from the Chang'an Gate on the right, passed through Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, and Meridian Gate, and entered the palace.
Then he crossed the Fengtian Gate, passed through the Fengtian Palace Square, bypassed the Fengtian Palace, and finally arrived in front of the Huagai Palace after a long journey.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei, has something to report to me, and I would like to express my sincere greetings to you."
The entire palace has been waiting for Jiang Yu’s arrival.
Follow him to sign up outside the palace gate.
Sun Gou'er walked out of the hall with a smile on his face and came to Jiang Wei: "The commander is here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you."
Jiang Wei straightened up and looked at Sun Gou'er with a cold face, but his tone was kind: "I'm here to help you, Superintendent."
"Your Majesty, Jiang Wei, please see Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, Your Highness the Grand Sun."
In the hall, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu stood there, making people feel that there were waves of eerie aura spreading out.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the commander who had been in charge of Jin Yiwei for many years, and a smile appeared on his face: "But the result of the murder of the Li family in Taiping? Today, all the ministers are present, so you explained the matter carefully and clearly."<
/p>
Jiang Wei looked around and nodded silently.
As the commander of the Royal Guards, he naturally knows everything about the officials from the DPRK and the Central Government who want to attack the tax office.
Therefore, this was why he ordered people to take that Wan Jinbiao and send him to Jinyiwei Prison after the incident the night before.
Obviously, the grandson, who showed good intentions at this moment, has proved that his choice is correct.
As for Zhan Hui and the old gang?
It has never been in my consideration.
Jiang Wei made up his mind and said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jin Yiwei has now found out the cause of the murder of the Li family in Taiping."
"This case is the result of a conspiracy between the Sun family, the Zhao family, and the Wang family in Chunhua Town to hide the children of the family who have changed their identities, and to plot the Li family's ten thousand acres of fertile land at the foot of Fangshan Mountain."
"The three families lured Li Erfu, a tenant of the Li family, to inform him and confirmed that all the Li family members were at their home in Taipingli on the night of the incident. The three families invited the Li family to a banquet on the grounds that they were about to go south to Jiaozhi."
"The three families brought their henchmen with them, and when the Li family became drunk, they suddenly took action and brutally killed everyone in the Li family."
"Currently, Jinyiwei has arrested all three families and is currently imprisoned in Jinyiwei's prison. Zhang Hui, the chief interrogator of Jinyiwei, will personally interrogate and verify them."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Wei took out a confession transcript from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, these are the oral confession transcripts of the three families involved in the case that have been interrogated by the Jinyiwei. Your Majesty, please read them."
After saying that, Jiang Wei lowered his head and took up the confession with both hands.
Zhu Yunxi stared at the confession taken out by Jiang Yu with bright eyes, and looked faintly at Zhan Hui and others who were still kneeling on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dark and there was an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Have you obtained confessions?"
"Jinyiwei's work is becoming more and more in line with my wishes."
