Yang Xian's words immediately caused everyone's exclamations, Lu Chang straightened up, pointed at Yang Xian's back and fainted, and the people around him moved their bodies silently, and none of them dared to approach Lu Chang.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was in the upper position, had a coldness on his face, so everyone knew that Lu Chang was finished, and the household department was probably inescapable.

Li Shanchang frowned, the household department must not fall now, the imperial examination of the imperial court has not yet begun, and the hundreds of thousands of relocated people still need to be resettled by the household department.

Zhu Biao looked at Lu Chang silently, he knew this person, he was not Zhu Yuanzhang's descendant, and like Liu Bowen, he had served in the Yuan Court, and unlike Liu Bowen who took the initiative to defect, Lu Chang was detained by Zhu Yuanzhang and forced to stay by his side.

There are actually many such people in the court, and Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't trust them, but he has no choice but to appoint them.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded indifferently and said: "Press Lu Chang into the prison of the Criminal Department and search his mansion!" As for the household department, all the officials involved must be thoroughly investigated, and all the officials involved will be taken down, so we will take their heads to tell the officials of the world that whoever dares to be corrupt and pervert the law is the only way to die! ”

At this time, Li Shanchang and Yang Xian were ready to take over the task of thoroughly investigating the household department.

Li Shanchang wanted to control the losses of the household department within the scope of bearing, and ensure that the household department could continue to operate, and there were many Huaixi Party members in the household department, and he must not let Yang Xian be responsible.

Yang Xian is in order to completely control the household department, and put people in it to control the money bag of this Ming Dynasty, and with the household department and all parties in the court need to beg him, he can also use this to increase the suppression of Li Shanchang.

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and said: "It is very important for the household to be corrupt and pervert the law, and the sons and daughters are asked to be responsible for this matter, and please ask for the permission of the father." ”

Yang Xian's face darkened, but he didn't dare to say anything, and it was not beneficial to compete with the crown prince.

Li Shanchang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't Yang Xian, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would be good for all parties to handle this matter.

Liu Bowen bowed down and said, "The minister also thinks that it is appropriate for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to handle this matter, please ask for the grace of the Holy Lord."

Li Shanchang and the six Shangshu all stepped forward to echo it, Chang Yuchun Li Wenzhong and others did not join in the fun when they saw this posture, the prince just sent a sentence, and it is not a good thing for the civil and military to echo it.

The generals drank the blood of the soldiers, so naturally it had nothing to do with the greed of the household, so they didn't care much.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at Zhu Biao and said: "Then this matter will be handed over to the prince to deal with, and it is necessary to strictly investigate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and never tolerate adultery!" ”

Zhu Biao bowed down and responded: "The son obeys the order." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and looked at the civil and military officials and said: "The people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are difficult to bully, so you can do it yourself!" ”

After everyone agreed, Zhu Yuanzhang turned around and left directly, Zhu Biao looked at the officials below and said: "The criminal department sent someone to take down the officials of the household department to strictly guard them, and immediately take over the household department, the documents and account books are sealed, and no one can touch them without the order of the palace, if anyone dares to resist or damage the account books, they will be killed." ”

After the Shangshu of the Criminal Department was ordered to leave, Zhu Biao looked at the rest of the people and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, did you hear what the Holy Lord just said?" Don't let the Holy One down. ”

Then Zhu Biao asked them to go back, there were a lot of things in the various departments of the imperial court, and once something happened to the household department, at least it would have to be delayed for several days, and they all had to go back to arrange it quickly.

Li Shanchang didn't move, and when everyone was gone, Zhu Biao also walked down the steps to Li Shanchang's side and stood with his hands in his hands.

Li Shanchang arched his hand at Zhu Biao and said, "Your Highness couldn't be better if you took over this matter." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "Li Xiang, rest assured, the palace has its own measure, but the household department will inevitably lack manpower afterwards, so let's arrange some people to prepare." ”

Li Shanchang was relieved when he heard this, the matter had already happened, and a group of people had to die, otherwise the emperor's words would not become a joke, and what would he warn the officials in the future.

After Li Shanchang left, Zhu Biao walked directly to the imperial study, and after saluting his father, he said: "It seems that Yang Xian's matter is almost impossible to hide, otherwise how could he be so eager to attack the household." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang still had anger on his face: "Hmph, if their butts are clean, what can Yang Xian do with them." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "If you have more than sixty taels of bribes, you will kill them, and the rest will give them a chance."

Zhu Biao sighed: "Father, I'm afraid there won't be a few people left in the household." ”

After Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he wanted to kill them all, but when he thought that the household department really couldn't fall now, he only hated the root of his teeth.

Zhu Biao also hates corrupt officials, but he doesn't approve of his father's method of killing and suppressing them, especially when the officials are so low.

Among the emperors of all dynasties, only Zhu Yuanzhang was eager to eat the flesh and drink the blood of corrupt officials.

But the results are not high, corrupt officials are endless, and they can never be killed, and tens of thousands of beheadeds cannot stop the corrupt officials who have succeeded them.

Why is it said that there were no famous ministers in the later period of the Hongwu Dynasty, it is really that there is no room for growth at all when they are killed, every time Zhu Yuanzhang is under the command of the butcher's knife, a large number of officials are killed, and most of them are not even qualified to go to court for trial.

In fact, most of the time, traitorous ministers are capable ministers, if they are used well, compared to the money he embezzled and bribed, it is nothing at all, such as He Shen, how good, he worked hard all his life, and left such a large amount of wealth to the royal family, which even the emperor can't save.

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, now is not the time for magistrates, and it is not too late to keep these people and deal with them later.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his son and said, "Then you can watch and deal with it, but don't be too soft-hearted, we can't afford to use it like Lu Chang." ”

Zhu Biao nodded, and then bowed and retired, although naturally his father was jealous and hateful, he also knew what the most important thing was now. Just like the "Guo Heng case" and "empty seal case" that have a great and far-reaching impact in history, these anti-corruption cases only started 15 years after Hongwu.

What they have done, is it difficult to not do it now? Under the surveillance of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, how could these things be concealed from Zhu Yuanzhang, it was just that he was waiting for the opportunity.

If it weren't for Yang Xian to make a big fuss, the matter of the household department would not be dealt with by Zhu Yuanzhang until at least a few years later.

Lu Chang is a capable minister, originally a former official, Zhu Yuanzhang can detain him and appoint him as the head of the household, so he knows Lu Chang's ability.

There are very few people who can manage the taxes of the whole country so well, but unfortunately the matter has happened, Lu Chang can't keep it, and there are not many officials in the former Yuan, so Lu Chang has to warn them with his life not to be greedy for the old things of the previous dynasty.

As for whether Lu Chang is in the house. It doesn't matter anymore to mourn for Beiyuan, politics is like that, your every move will be magnified at a critical moment.
