Chapter 289: Drag him out and chop him up (please subscribe and vote monthly)

Morning morning the next day.

Tomorrow is the first day of October, and the canonization ceremony for Zhu Ying's grandson is also the first grand military parade of the Ming Dynasty.

"Tianjie Temple, the arrangements for the foreign ministers have been made. This military parade for our eldest grandson is related to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. Let me make it clear here first. If anyone makes trouble, don't blame us for not taking care of it.

feelings."

After the morning court began, Zhu Yuanzhang did not follow the previous procedures, so Zhu Yuanzhang directly reprimanded him.

When Tianjie Temple was called, the great monk, who was the leader of the Monk Record Academy, immediately went out, clasped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the arrangements for the foreign ministers have been finalized."

"The list of all participants has been handed over to the Jinyiwei Yamen. Please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Since Zhu Yuanzhang had a relatively deep understanding of Buddhism and believed that Buddhism could be "conquered by Yin Yi King" and "secretly assist Wang Gang", Zhu Yuanzhang personally formulated a complete system of monks and officials regarding religion.

In the first year of Hongwu, the Shanshi and Xuanjiao Second Academy were established as the important yamen of the Ming Dynasty to manage the world's monks.

In April of the 15th year of Hongwu, the Senglu Department and the Daolu Department were reorganized, and the Second Academy was abolished.

From then on, the monk, Dao Lu Si, was in charge of the world's monks.

But perhaps because of Taoism, there are more idle people than monks, so Taoist spiritual leaders like Zhang Sanfeng are hard to find.

Moreover, many Taoists are very disgusted with working as servants in the Daolu Si Yamen, and they are not big shots when they take the initiative.

Therefore, in terms of religious management, Seng Lu Si is responsible for much more.

As a religious yamen, there are two chief ministers, one left chief and one chief minister respectively. They are subordinate to the Ministry of Rites.

Under normal circumstances, the monk officials of the Seng Lu Division do not need to attend the morning court.

This time, Si Zheng from the Monk Department came here because he had received a notice and needed to report on the work in person.

Don't read these two sentences, if you don't come.

hehe.

Zhu Yuanzhang would not be spoiled just because he was a monk. He would be executed if he should.

Over the years, many monk officials in the Senglu Division have been executed for corruption and bribery.

As for Lao Zhu, there is no one in the world who would not dare to kill him because of his bad temper.

However, most of the monk officials in the early Ming Dynasty were held by highly respected monks, and overall they were pretty good.

At least in the area of ​​Sizheng and Zuozheng, there has been no change of personnel since the first year of Hongwu.

With the continuous confirmation, all the regulations regarding tomorrow's canonization, military parade and all the regulations were basically clearly communicated in the morning.

Zhu Ying stood in the Jinluan Hall, wearing Gong uniform, listening to the complicated ceremony, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

In order to show the majesty of the Ming Dynasty royal family, especially the grandson.

The whole process of the ceremony can be said to be full of details.

But when there is comparison, it is easier to accept.

All civil and military officials had to kowtow for almost the whole morning, without much rest in between.

Zhu Ying felt much more comfortable in this way.

Those who make various suggestions and propose various plans will inevitably suffer their own consequences.

The discussion lasted almost an hour. Zhu Yuanzhang was smiling and chatting about his eldest grandson the whole time, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Just after the matter was finalized, a court official suddenly came out of the office without coughing to say hello to his colleagues, and then said: "Your Majesty, I have a memorial."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think much and said: "It's accurate."

The minister bowed in salute and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that there was a sensation in the capital yesterday, which caused hundreds of thousands of people to gather. In the end, a large army entered the city, and we were able to avoid the riot."

"But even so, there was a lot of chaos in the capital city, and many people were trampled and injured."

"Wei Chen has even heard that this Chamber of Commerce of Heroes has a close relationship with His Highness Taisun. It seems to be the Chamber of Commerce established by His Highness Taisun when he was in opposition."

"I dare you. Now that His Royal Highness is a member of the royal family, how can he associate with merchants? The so-called Qunying Chamber of Commerce should be disbanded quickly to avoid something like yesterday happening again."

"Moreover, this group of British Chamber of Commerce, a group of merchants and their like, is the greatest evil in instigating His Highness the Grand Sun to compete for profits with the people. I also learned yesterday that this group of British Chamber of Commerce actually wants to harm the foundation of our Ming Dynasty."

As the minister became more and more excited and high-spirited, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile gradually became stiff.

The other ministers looked at each other in astonishment, and there was a deathly silence in the Fengtian Palace.

The minister who spoke seemed not to realize it. He was completely immersed in his inner world and continued to speak impassionedly:

"I looked at the notice. It said that this group of British merchants are recruiting workers for both men and women. Doesn't this violate the code of women? That's all. He recruits everyone."

"He's not even an apprentice. He recruits even refugees. And as long as he goes in, he can earn two hundred cents a month. Two hundred cents is not much, but this damn Qunying Chamber of Commerce, he actually manages the food, with ulterior motives.

, with ulterior motives!"

"As a result, many people who still have the energy to farm will go to the Qunying Chamber of Commerce. From now on, our fields in the Ming Dynasty will probably become barren."

"People will no longer farm, food will be reduced, and taxes will be reduced. This is to dig up the roots of the Ming Dynasty."

Having said this, the minister took a deep breath again, with a hint of speculation in his tone: "Wei Chen also heard that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce originated from the Western Regions and has colluded with many forces on the grassland. A large number of its members, not to mention

People of my clan.”

"His Royal Highness Taisun is young and has not been in the palace for a long time. He must have been deceived by traitors and has laid the foundation for endless troubles."

"Your Majesty, the minister recommends that the Jinyi Guards be sent immediately to conduct a strict investigation on the entire Qunying Chamber of Commerce. We must not let go of a single spy."

After the words fell, the colleague next to the minister subconsciously moved his steps slightly, not daring to get close to him.

There was someone nearby who was familiar with this minister and looked at him with eyes full of regret.

I guess my brain was damaged when I went out, so I dare to say such things.

I don't even care about my life.

Tomorrow is a great day for His Highness Taisun. Today, this fellow directly stood up and reprimanded the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

Anyone with a little knowledge of the Qunying Chamber of Commerce knows that it was built by His Highness Taisun himself, and is particularly famous in the border areas.

The wealth controlled in it is countless.

This can be seen from the fact that after His Majesty the Grand Sun entered the palace, the banquets rewarded by His Majesty began to become more frequent and abundant.

There must have been a lot of money that flowed directly into the internal funds.

You must know that in the past, although His Majesty also gave banquets, but those light meals, sometimes Roumo Xingzi could not see you, you know how tight the internal money is.

As for the improvement of meals, the Ministry of Revenue has not made any suggestions, which means that the money must not come from the treasury.

This shows that the internal funds are now very abundant.

Any fool can guess that it must be the work of His Highness Taisun, or the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

This guy wants to wipe out His Majesty's money bag. He's so cruel.

"Are you done?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked expressionlessly.

The minister was stunned for a moment, then bowed and said: "Reporting to Your Highness, I have finished speaking."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then said calmly: "Okay, just finish talking, drag him out and chop him."

The Jin Yiwei who had already been alert were eager to give it a try. After hearing His Majesty's instructions, there was no hesitation at all. The two Jin Yiwei strode forward, picked up the minister, and dragged him out.

"Why is your Majesty like this? Why is it like this!!!"

"Everything I said came from the bottom of my heart. This is to damage our Ming Dynasty and bring disaster to our Ming Dynasty. There will be endless troubles in the future!!"

"I thought I was dead, but Your Majesty must strictly investigate the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, strictly investigate! Investigate strictly!!!"

"Your Majesty!!! Well."

The Jin Yiwei immediately covered his mouth, and then quickly removed his chin. The two of them also accelerated their steps and quickly dragged him out of the Fengtian Palace.

Soon, a scream came.

Zhu Yuanzhang then asked with a gloomy face: "My dear friends, if you have any opinions on what happened just now, please speak out boldly. We are listening."

The ministers in the palace were quiet, no one said a word, and even their breathing seemed to be held.

This is the court hall during the Hongwu period.

Even the most senior ministers did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang with their heads lowered. Anyone who dared to challenge the emperor's majesty would have the grass on their grave already three feet high.

The person just now was just a small official of the fifth rank, so he died. The minister of the second rank was executed, which is not a shock. Everyone is already used to it.

Many ministers felt Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, and even cursed in their hearts for the execution just now.

After a few days of hard work, Your Majesty is in a good mood recently. No one has been executed for seven or eight days. Now this bastard is determined to stir up a hornet's nest.

I'm afraid the days to come won't be easy.

Seeing that the ministers below did not respond, Zhu Yuanzhang did not want to just let it go. Instead, he asked Zhu Ying: "Dasun, I wonder if you have any opinions on the minister's memorial just now."

"Speak it out and let us listen, and let all my dear friends listen to it too."

Zhu Ying nodded, bowed and replied: "Grandpa, my grandson thinks that what happened just now seems to be just one person's words, but behind it, it is not that simple."
