Chapter 893 Reform! Establish the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
When Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he was very pleased. The reform in the DPRK would be more effective with half the effort. He looked at the two people with a smile and said warmly: "With the support of you two, I feel very at ease in my heart. However, there are many things to do about the reform.
I would like to ask you two, where should I start?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Highness, reform matters first and foremost in the hearts of the people. We should start with rectifying the administration of officials and severely punish corruption to serve as a warning to others. At the same time, we should strengthen the assessment and selection of officials to ensure that they are truly talented and virtuous.
People can be reused.”
Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. In addition, I believe that the construction of the legal system should be strengthened and the laws should be clarified so that officials can act according to the law and reduce the space for favoritism and malpractice."
Prince Zhu Biao nodded frequently when he heard this, his eyes shining with expectation: "What you two said hit the point. I want to set up a Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise hundreds of officials. What do you think?"
Zhu Han and Zhu Di looked at each other and saw approval in each other's eyes. Zhu Han said: "Your Highness, this is a very good idea. The establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can effectively supervise all officials and ensure the integrity of the court."
Zhu Di also echoed: "My brother also agrees with His Highness's proposal. The establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate will certainly greatly promote the reform of the DPRK, eliminate corruption, and revitalize the DPRK."
When Prince Zhu Biao saw that both of them had no objections, his heart dropped. He stood up and said solemnly: "In that case, I will start preparing for the Metropolitan Procuratorate. I hope that the two uncles can continue to help each other and conspire for the Ming Dynasty."
the future.”
Zhu Han and Zhu Di stood up quickly, bowed and saluted: "I will do my best to assist His Highness in the national crisis."
With the decision of Prince Zhu Biao, the atmosphere in the study became more solemn and full of hope. Zhu Han and Zhu Di exchanged a look, as if they had reached some kind of tacit understanding.
Prince Zhu Biao looked around the two uncles and said firmly: "I know that the road to reform will be full of thorns, but with the help of my two uncles, I feel confident. However, I still don't know something about it.
For the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, do you two uncles have any specific recommendations for candidates?"
Zhu Han nodded slightly, thought for a moment and then replied: "Your Highness, the selection of candidates needs to be carefully considered. I believe that the post of the Metropolitan Procuratorate must be filled by people who are honest and upright and not afraid of power. I have several candidates in mind.
They are all ministers with good reputations in the court, and they are worthy of this important task."
Zhu Di also echoed: "What Uncle Han Wang said is very true. The candidates really need to be carefully selected. I also have several candidates. I am willing to discuss with Uncle Han to ensure that the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can truly supervise hundreds of people."
Officials, the effectiveness of eliminating corruption."
When Prince Zhu Biao heard this, his face showed joy: "Now that you two have succeeded, I am relieved. I will leave this matter to you two and take full responsibility. I can only hope to see results as soon as possible."
Zhu Han and Zhu Di bowed at the same time and agreed. Zhu Han continued: "Your Highness, don't worry, I and His Highness King Di will do their best to live up to His Highness's high expectations. However, although the Metropolitan Procuratorate can supervise all officials, there is corruption in the court.
Corruption is deeply rooted and cannot be eradicated overnight. I believe that we need to start from the system to fundamentally eliminate the source of corruption."
Zhu Di nodded in agreement: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely correct. The foundation of the system lies in the clear distinction between rewards and punishments. My younger brother suggested that the punishment of corrupt officials should be increased and a reward mechanism should be established to encourage honest and self-responsible officials."
Prince Zhu Biao nodded frequently when he heard this, with admiration flashing in his eyes: "You two have great opinions, I have benefited a lot. I want to implement this method in the court, I wonder if you two have any specific implementation strategies?"
Zhu Han pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Your Highness, the specific implementation of the policy requires careful planning. I believe that we can start by amending the law to clarify the crime of corruption and increase the punishment. At the same time, set up a special agency to review the property of officials.
Report and make sure every account is clear and traceable."
Zhu Di added: "In addition, my brother also suggested strengthening the supervision of local officials and regularly dispatching imperial envoys to inspect various places to strictly investigate corruption. At the same time, encourage people to report corruption and reward those who report truthfully."
When Prince Zhu Biao heard this, a flash of light flashed in his eyes. He stood up and paced slowly in the study. After thinking for a moment, he said: "The strategy you two proposed is actually a way to cure the root cause. I want to compile these suggestions into a list and present them.
I wonder what you two think of this visit by the Royal Father?"
Zhu Han and Zhu Di looked at each other and nodded in agreement. Zhu Han took a step forward, cupped his hands and said: "Your Highness is wise. This move not only shows the importance your Highness attaches to corruption in the DPRK, but also allows us to pool our wisdom and work together to devise good strategies. My brother thinks that
, let’s sort it out quickly.”
Zhu Di also echoed: "What Uncle Han Wang said is absolutely true. Your Majesty's move will definitely be praised by Your Majesty. I am willing to help Uncle Han to draft this document together."
When Prince Zhu Biao heard this, he felt very relieved. He smiled slightly and said, "It makes me feel at ease to have two people helping me. I will leave this matter to you two, and I will wait quietly for good news."
Zhu Han and Zhu Di bowed again and agreed. Then, the three of them sat around in front of the case and began to discuss the specific contents of the book in detail. In the study, sometimes there was a heated discussion, and sometimes there was a meditative silence, and the atmosphere
Both nervous and full of anticipation.
After some deliberation, the draft was finally completed. After careful review, Prince Zhu Biao nodded with satisfaction and said: "You two are really quick in thinking. This fold is clearly organized and sincere in words. I will present it to my father for his inspection."
After saying this, Prince Zhu Biao ordered people to take the Zhezi to the imperial study. After sending away the eunuchs who delivered the decree, he turned to Zhu Han and Zhu Di and said: "You two, I know that the situation in the DPRK is complicated and changeable, and the road to reform is definitely not the right one."
The road is smooth. But Gu believes that as long as we work together, we will be able to eliminate corruption in the court and restore the Ming Dynasty to a prosperous Qingming era."
When Zhu Han and Zhu Di heard this, they both looked firm and responded in unison: "I will do my best to assist Your Highness and plan for the future of the Ming Dynasty."
While the three of them were discussing, a eunuch hurriedly walked into the study and bowed to report: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty has decreed that the two princes will come to the palace immediately to pay an audience."

After Zhu Biao said goodbye, he followed the eunuch to the imperial study.
In the imperial study room, Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon chair with a solemn expression. When he saw Zhu Han and Zhu Di walking in, he slightly raised his hand to signal them to excuse themselves, and then asked in a deep voice: "I have already prepared the information you two presented.
Read it. What do you think about the corruption in the DPRK?"
Zhu Han and Zhu Di looked at each other, and Zhu Han stepped forward and replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, the prevalence of corruption in the court is actually a serious problem for the country. I believe that we should start with rectifying the administration of officials and severely punish corruption.
Officials should establish a clean and honest style. At the same time, strengthen the construction of the legal system so that all officials have laws and regulations to follow."
Zhu Di also added: "Your Majesty, what Uncle Han Wang said is very true. I believe that special agencies should be set up, such as the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to be responsible for supervising all officials and ensuring that the government is clear. At the same time, the supervision of local officials should be strengthened, and regular inspections of local officials should be strengthened.
Send imperial envoys to inspect various places to strictly investigate corruption."
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, he nodded slightly, with a hint of approval in his eyes. He said solemnly: "What you two said are all in line with the current situation. How can I not know about the corruption in the court? It's just that this matter involves a wide range of things.
We need to work step by step to eradicate it. Now that you two have made a plan, go ahead and do it. I will give my full support."
When Zhu Han and Zhu Di heard this, they were both overjoyed and quickly bowed to express their gratitude. After exiting the imperial study, the two looked at each other and smiled, their hearts filled with longing and confidence for the future.
After returning to the palace, Zhu Han immediately summoned his staff to discuss the reform. He stood in the center of the study, looked around the staff, and said solemnly: "Your Majesty has granted our request to set up a Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise all officials.
This is a good opportunity to eliminate corruption in the government, and we will go all out."
After hearing the words, all the staff members were in high spirits and stepped forward to offer suggestions. Zhao Shenjun suggested: "Your Majesty, the establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate requires the selection of honest and upright people for important positions. I am willing to go to various places to personally inspect the conduct of officials and recommend them.
Talented people."
Mr. Li also added: "Your Majesty, the construction of the legal system cannot be ignored. I suggest amending the law to clarify the crime of corruption and increase the penalties. At the same time, set up a reporting reward mechanism to encourage people to participate in the anti-corruption."
When Zhu Han heard the words, they all nodded in agreement. He said solemnly: "What you all said is absolutely correct, so we will act according to this plan. But remember, this matter needs to be done secretly to avoid disturbing the public."
The staff followed the order and left, and a moment of tranquility returned to the study.
At this time, a guard hurriedly walked into the study, knelt down on one knee and reported: "Your Majesty, His Highness the Crown Prince has sent a secret letter, please read it personally."
When Zhu Han heard this, he raised his eyebrows slightly, secretly thinking that the prince's letter at this time must have something important to do. He took the secret letter, opened it and read it carefully, and then a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very interested in the reforms we have proposed." Zhu Han handed the secret letter to Zhao Canjun beside him and continued, "The letter mentioned that the emperor is very interested in the reform we proposed.
He highly praised it and ordered the prince to fully assist us in implementing reforms."
Zhao Shenjun took the secret letter and read it quickly, his eyes flashing with excitement: "This is God's help! With your Majesty's support, our reform path will be smoother."
Zhu Han nodded in agreement and then ordered: "Immediately pass the order to all departments to step up preparations to ensure that the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be established and operate effectively as soon as possible. At the same time, strengthen communication with other courtiers to gain more support."
Zhao Canjun took the order and left, leaving Zhu Han alone in the study again. He closed his eyes and meditated, thinking about every next move in his mind.
Soon, Zhu Han's study once again welcomed a visitor. This time the visitor was a highly respected veteran in the court - Bachelor Li. Bachelor Li walked into the study, saluted Zhu Han, and said bluntly: "Your Majesty.
, I am very relieved to hear that Your Majesty intends to set up a Metropolitan Procuratorate to supervise all officials. However, this matter involves a wide range of things. I dare to ask the prince if he has any specific plans?"
Zhu Han smiled slightly, stood up and returned the greeting: "The great scholar has given you too much praise. I do have preliminary plans, and I am planning to discuss the big plan with the important ministers in the court. The establishment of the Metropolitan Procuratorate aims to eliminate corruption in the court and establish a clean and honest atmosphere.
.This king plans to select a group of honest and upright people to hold important positions, and strengthen the construction of the legal system to ensure that all officials have laws to follow and rules to follow."
Hearing this, Grand Scholar Li's eyes flashed with approval: "Your Majesty is far-sighted, and I admire you. However, this matter is not a trivial matter, and it requires the concerted efforts of everyone in the court to make it happen. I am willing to help you, and work together for the future of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Han quickly returned the courtesy and said: "It is my great fortune that the great scholar is willing to help me. When the Metropolitan Procuratorate is established, I still need more guidance from the great scholar."
The two looked at each other and smiled, and the atmosphere in the study suddenly became relaxed. Zhu Han knew that with the support of important ministers in the DPRK like Grand Scholar Li, the road to reform would be smoother.
However, just as the two were discussing, an attendant hurriedly walked into the study and reported nervously: "Your Majesty, urgent report from the border! The enemy seems to be making strange movements and seems to be gathering troops, with unknown intentions!"
When Zhu Han heard this, his brows furrowed. He quickly regained his composure and told his attendants: "Quickly send an order to the border generals to strengthen their vigilance and ensure the peace of the border. At the same time, order people to pay close attention to the enemy's movements and be prepared to deal with unexpected events at any time."
The attendant took the order and left, and fell into deep thought again in the study. Zhu Han looked at Grand Scholar Li and said in a deep voice: "Grand Master, the war on the border has broken out, and I need to go immediately to deal with it. I'd rather bother Grand Scholar to worry about the matter of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."
.”
Academician Li nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will do my best to ensure the smooth establishment and effective operation of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Your Majesty, you also need to take care of your health. Although matters on the border are urgent, don't overwork yourself."
Zhu Han nodded gratefully and said: "Thank you, Grand Scholar, for your concern. I will pay attention to it. When the border affairs are settled, I will personally visit you and discuss the reform plan."
After saying that, Zhu Han hurriedly put on his battle armor and prepared to leave for the frontier immediately. Before leaving, he turned around again and bowed deeply to Grand Scholar Li: "Grand Master, I leave the affairs of the court to you. I will do my best as soon as possible.
Handle border affairs, and we will make plans together when we return."
Academician Li quickly returned the gift, his eyes full of determination: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will live up to my trust. When you return, you will definitely see a clearer and clearer government."
Zhu Han nodded, turned around, and strode out of the study room in a hurry. He was worried about the war on the border and also longed for the future of reform.
The border was covered with war clouds. After Zhu Han arrived at the military camp, he immediately summoned all the generals to the Chinese army's tent. The atmosphere was dignified and tense.
"Generals, the enemy's troops are making frequent movements, and they obviously have an agenda. We must be more vigilant and not slack off at all." Zhu Han's voice penetrated every corner of the tent, firm and powerful.
General Zhang stepped forward with a serious look on his face: "Your Majesty, I am willing to lead my troops to attack to find out the enemy's intentions and gain the initiative for the army."
Zhu Han shook his head and looked deeply: "Don't act rashly. Since the enemy dares to gather troops, he must have a backup plan. We need to stop quietly, strengthen our defense, and at the same time send scouts deep behind the enemy's rear to collect intelligence."
Vice General Li took a step forward, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The general will immediately arrange for a repellent operation to ensure that the information is correct."
