Zhu Tianjiang's decree caused all the officials in the capital to discuss it like an explosion. Not to mention anything else, the last sentence was that those who did not turn it in would be killed without mercy. To all the civil and military officials, Zhu Tianjiang was simply whimsical.
.
Since Zhou Yantian's rebellion, there have been no officials in the Dafeng Dynasty who are not corrupt. There are big and small corruptions. Even the emperor turned a blind eye in order to stabilize the country, let alone you, a third-rank security envoy.
Emperor Chengwu and Prince Jing were sitting in the study room. Looking at the decree issued by Zhu Tian, Emperor Chengwu couldn't help but laugh.
"Prince Jing, this kid is really damaging. After accepting everyone's congratulatory gifts, now here comes this trick. Do you think that if no one turns over the corrupt property, will this kid really go on a killing spree?" Emperor Cheng Wu
asked with a smile.
"Hey, I think it will definitely happen. This guy is not a man of faith. If he doesn't kill him as a warning, those officials won't know the pain at all." Prince Jing stroked the king's whip and said.
Emperor Chengwu nodded, "What I think about for my brother is not these, but who he wants to attack."
Prince Jing's heart was moved, and he leaned forward and said, "Brother, I think that no matter who is being operated on, brother Huang should not interfere. The four nephews of the emperor have grown up, and they have passed the period of mourning for their mother. Brother Huang should also propose marriages for them."
Now. Now the officials in the court have begun to make choices. At this time, Tiansheng is appointed as the security envoy. If he wants to complete the mission of the emperor, he must offend all the factions. Otherwise, he will not be able to deliver the job after half a year. So
, it’s the same whether you have surgery early or late, I think it’s best for you to drink a bowl of water evenly.”
Emperor Chengwu nodded, "After the wedding of the four princes, according to the ancestral system, I have to establish a heir apparent. Except for Xuan Ming, who holds military power, it is really hard for me to choose the other three. # # # Xuan Can should say
He is uniquely endowed with many advantages. But compared with Xuan Le, ### lacks a sense of calmness. However, Xuan Le is a very scheming kid, and sometimes I don’t know what he is thinking. Since the Battle of the Capital, Xuan Le has
Le became unknown, as if he was deliberately avoiding the competition between brothers. As for the fourth brother Xuanzhu, I was originally not optimistic about him. But this kid was very lucky and got the support of Zhu Tianjiang. The originally obedient fourth brother,
He has also become more energetic, especially in the battle against Zhou Yantian. It can be said that Xuanzhu made the greatest contribution. Alas! Prince Jing, it is not easy to handle this bowl of water for my brother."
Prince Jing smiled and said, "Brother, the palms and backs of your hands are full of flesh. I understand your feelings very well. However, the three nephews have not yet been able to distinguish themselves. It just so happens that Zhu Tianjiang, the broom star, will be tested."
Let’s take a look at their fineness. Only after being tempered by fire can real gold appear. I think that by then, Brother Huang will have a good choice.”
Emperor Chengwu nodded again, "Prince Jing, now as a brother, I realize the painstaking efforts of my father. The killing of flesh and blood is the most heartbreaking thing, but in order for the Li family to stabilize the country, my father had to watch.
We brothers meet each other with swords. It is better to die in the hands of our own brothers than to die by the swords of foreigners in the future. If we cannot choose a powerful future emperor, the world will change hands sooner or later. By then, we, Li
What our family will face will be a disaster of genocide."
Prince Jing smiled bitterly, remembering the brothers who were fighting for the throne outside the palace gate. But inside the palace, his father was already in a semi-conscious state. Fortunately, at the last moment, his father ordered Lin Feng to remove the stick.
Only when the rebellion was over was handed over to Cheng Wu. But after the incident subsided, Lin Feng left without saying goodbye.
"Brother, I'm afraid you'll have to be busy again tomorrow morning. Zhu Tianjiang's decree conflicts with Dafeng's laws. I guess the first one to jump out will be Taifu Wang." Prince Jing didn't want to recall that sad time anymore.
of the past, the topic immediately turned to this aspect.
"It's still the same old thing. When Mrs. Wang comes, you go up, and the others come out to hold down the brother." Emperor Chengwu looked at Prince Jing, and to deal with these courtiers, both brothers had to go into battle together.
The two old brothers, Emperor Chengwu and Prince Jing, were discussing in the palace, and all the civil and military officials were also idle. Except for high-ranking officials such as the six ministers and the nine admirals, everyone else was visiting friends as if they were celebrating the New Year.
The officials each had their own small groups, and they gathered together to discuss how to deal with Zhu Tianjiang. Of course, behind each small group, there were different backers.
Zhu Tianjiang sat in the Security Procuratorate for a day and was about to return home when he was intercepted by Mrs. Wang.
"Old Master, what's wrong with you?" Zhu Tianjiang asked politely.
"Master Zhu, I would like to ask you, in this world, which law is more powerful, or government decrees?" Wang Taifu asked seriously with a straight face.
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he thought, my mother-in-law, she is here to find fault again, "Master Taifu, I understand what you mean, but I ask you, should corrupt officials be killed?"
"It deserves to be killed! But it must be judged by the Third Division before the courtier can be killed."
"Then if the Third Division itself is corrupt, how can we tell?"
"It will be up to the emperor to decide and reassign the officials of the third department. Zhu Tianjiang, the Security Procuratorate only has the function of supervision. You have no right to judge the life or death of officials." Taifu Wang looked at Zhu Tianjiang with justice.
Zhu Tianjiang sighed, "Sir, I know there are some things that I don't agree with you on. But one thing I can guarantee is that Zhu Tianjiang did this not for himself, nor for the emperor, but for the people of the world. The corruption of officials
Corruption, in the end it is the people of the world who are unlucky. Sir, you can impeach me in the court, I don’t mind that. But since Tianxiang has become the security envoy, he must do something practical. Even if it is
The emperor is unwilling, and unless he revokes my position, there is nothing I can do to stop you!"
Taifu Wang looked at Zhu Tianjiang in surprise. Although these words were a bit disrespectful to the imperial power, they allowed Wang Taifu to see another side of Zhu Tianjiang. Taifu Wang was devoted to the Dafeng Dynasty, and he did not want to make the government harmonious and benefit the people of the world. Zhu
Although Tian Jiang had many faults, these few words showed his grand view of the overall situation. Wang Taifu said nothing more, nodded, turned around and walked out.
Early the next morning, the atmosphere in the court hall became a little strange. Emperor Chengwu originally thought it would be a noisy scene, but unexpectedly it became quieter than usual.
"If you have something to do, please tell me early~ If you have nothing to do, leave the court~!" Eunuch Wei began to shout the court call for the first time.
Emperor Chengwu glanced at everyone, and his eyes fell on Taifu Wang. Not only Emperor Chengwu, but other ministers were also staring at Taifu Wang. Everyone knew that Taifu Wang was a big firecracker, and he would definitely come forward if anything violated Dafeng's laws.
.
But today it was very strange. Mrs. Wang stood there holding the bamboo pole without saying a word.
"If you have something to do, report it early; if nothing happens, leave the court!" Eunuch Wei shouted the court call for the second time.
Li Hong and other important ministers were silent. Anyway, Zhu Tianjiang's decree had nothing to do with their level. Except for the six ministers and Chu Yun, others could not hold on.
"I have a message~!" The chief minister of Hedu Prefecture walked out of the train.
King Jing glanced at Emperor Chengwu and said to himself that the sun was rising in the west today, but Taifu Wang did not even come to play.
"Accurate!" Emperor Chengwu said a little displeased.
"Your Majesty, the decree issued by the Security Procuratorate refutes our Dafeng law. By doing this, Zhu Tianjiang is basically contemptuous of us and other ministers." The chief minister of Hedu Prefecture began, and others began to report.
"Your Majesty, I also feel that Zhu Tianjiang went too far."
"Your Majesty, he not only despises us and other ministers, but also despises the imperial power~!"
"Your Majesty, Zhu Tianjiang accepts bribes himself, how can he have the face to supervise others~!"
The court, which was quiet just now, immediately became like a bathhouse. Prince Jing hugged and whipped the king, feeling so happy in his heart that as long as Mrs. Wang did not kneel down to remonstrate, he would have nothing to do here.
Emperor Chengwu listened for a long time and simply asked him to issue an imperial edict to withdraw the decree of the Security Procuratorate and remove Zhu Tianjiang from his post.
‘Bah~!’ Emperor Chengwu slapped the imperial case, and the courtiers below suddenly fell silent and looked at Emperor Chengwu one after another.
Emperor Chengwu stood up slowly, "Listen, I established the Security Procuratorate, and Zhu Tianjiang received a gold medal from me. I support this decree he issued!"
After Emperor Chengwu finished speaking, there was a sudden silence. Even the emperor had said this, who dared to speak again.
Emperor Chengwu glanced at Eunuch Wei, who quickly stepped forward and said, "Retreat from the court!"
The ministers now knew better, and felt that Zhu Tian had received the support of the emperor in issuing this decree.
After the dynasty was dismissed, the Security Procuratorate soon became lively. Many officials dispatched their housekeepers and began to "surrender" to the Security Procuratorate. Anyway, the decree of the Security Procuratorate said that as long as the embezzled money was turned over, the Security Procuratorate would be released.
The hospital will let bygones be bygones.
Zhu Tianjiang was not in the Security Procuratorate, and several account bookkeepers in the Security Procuratorate were very tired, registering the stolen money that had been voluntarily returned one by one.
Three days later, Zhu Tianjiang sat in the lobby of the Security Procuratorate on time for the first time.
"Zhu Yi, how's it going? How much did you turn in?" Zhu Tianjiang asked.
"Reporting to your lord, more than three hundred officials have turned in money for corruption."
When Zhu Tianjiang heard this, he said, "Haha, isn't it a lot? It seems that the quality of officials in the Dafeng Dynasty is not bad. Yes, as long as they know their mistakes and can correct them. Tell me, how much money did you turn in in total?
"
"Sir, the total is only ~50,000 taels." Zhu Yi said with a wry smile.
"What? More than 300 people turned in more than 50,000 taels?" Zhu Tianjiang looked at Zhu Yi.
Zhu Tianjiang didn't ask any questions for the past three days. He, Guo Ying and Yu Gege were admiring the congratulatory gifts sent by the officials one by one at his house. His gifts alone were calculated to be no less than one million taels.
"Sir, although there are many people who turned in, the most they turned in was only a thousand taels, and the least turned in only a dozen taels." Zhu Yi said, he couldn't help but laugh.
"You idiot, you treat me like a beggar. Maybe you will even hand over the sesame cakes and fried dough sticks next time. Damn it, if the officials of the Dafeng Dynasty were really so honest, I would die on the cotton. I'll give you more than a dozen taels."
, he also had the nerve to send someone!"
After Zhu Tianjiang finished speaking, there was a burst of laughter in the lobby. Zhu Yi, Xia Qing and others simply did not believe that these people could hand over the embezzled money in full. Moreover, no one had ever done this before, like this move by Zhu Daguan.
Zhu Tianjiang looked at the crowd and suddenly said with a face, "Brothers, the real battle is about to begin. Everyone, stay calm. From now on, no matter who we face, we are all masters!"
"
Zhu Tianjiang said, pulling out a chip, "Zhu Yi listens to the order!"
"exist!"
"I order you to quickly bring fifty security police officers to arrest Wang Shangqing, the head of the tax treasury, and bring him to justice without any mistakes!"
"Got the order!"
"Xia Qing listens to the order!"
"Yes!" Xia Qing replied, kneeling on one knee.
"I order you to quickly lead fifty officers to apprehend Sun Binglu, the young minister of Honglu Temple, and bring him to justice. There must be no mistakes!"
"Got the order!"
"Chang Wu listens to the order!"
"Chang Wu is here!"
"My lord orders you to quickly lead a hundred officers to apprehend Gu Zhitong, the garrison on the outskirts of Beijing, and bring him to justice without any mistakes!"
"Chang Wu got the order!"
Zhu Tianjiang watched his three generals exit the hall and took out another one, "Zhu Er, listen to the order!"
"Zhu Er is here!"
"Immediately send someone to monitor secretly. Do not smuggle even one tael of silver out of the capital. Once any suspicious carriages and horses are found, seize them immediately!"
Seeing a stick thrown out, Zhu Tianjiang felt extremely relieved. This feeling can only be described in one word - great!
"Explain that there was a small problem in the background in the past two days, which caused chapters 85 and 86 not to appear. It's not that I stopped updating. Just refresh it!"
