Listening to Zhu Youxiao's words, Xu Xianchun naturally did not hesitate.

Xu Xianchun's positioning for himself is very clear, and since His Majesty has said such a thing now, he will naturally do it.

So he beckoned to the Jinyiwei beside him, and the Jinyiwei also rushed up directly, quickly held Zhang Shun down, took off his official hat, and took off his official uniform, and took him down directly.

As for whether Zhang Shun wanted to speak or shout, it didn't matter, because the first thing they rushed up to was to block Zhang Shun's mouth.

In front of Your Majesty, you can say whatever you want, that's impossible, you don't have a chance to speak.

Xu Guangqi watched from the side, walked up to Zhu Youxiao with a little hesitation, and said, "Your Majesty, this is taking people, should you also give a reason?" Otherwise, it is easy to cause criticism. ”

"I'm not here to investigate the case, nor to reason with them." Zhu Youxiao said expressionlessly: "If I have to ask you the reason, let's arrest it in the name of poor disaster relief." ”

"As for the rest, let's talk about it after we check it out. If he does a good job and there is nothing worth investigating, I will naturally rehabilitate him. ”

Xu Guangqi was a little helpless after hearing this, but he really couldn't excuse Zhang Shun. Because he is standing in front of His Majesty, His Majesty has a sentence that is right, he is not here to reason, nor is he here to investigate the case.

The emperor himself came, there is no evidence or no evidence, as long as there is suspicion, he can be arrested. As for whether there is such a thing, don't you know if you look it up?

Now Zhu Youxiao thinks like this. As for whether anyone is making a fuss. Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all.

There are people plotting rebellion in this land, and some people are exploiting the people, so Zhu Youxiao is too lazy to wait for them. If anyone wants to make a fuss, then just make a fuss.

After looking around, Zhu Youxiao said directly: "Let's enter the city, let Qi Jin take over the city defense, and at the same time let the commander of the Jeju guard come over to meet him." ”

Xu Guangqi also understood that this arrangement was nothing more than to prevent the army from making trouble. Take over the city defense first, so that they don't have the capital to make trouble. Arresting those officers of Jeju Wei is also a routine of capturing thieves and capturing the king first.

Without a leader, naturally no one will make trouble. As for whether there are any problems with these people, let's talk about it after checking.

Although on the surface it was not to arrest them, but to let them come and meet them, in fact, when these people arrived, they would be directly placed under house arrest, and there was no room for negotiation at all.

And they don't dare not come, if they don't come, it will be a disobedience to the order, and they will be killed directly.

"I'll arrange it right away." Xu Guangqi said in agreement.

The group drove into Jeju in a mighty way, and at the same time, the news spread quickly.

Zhang Shun was arrested directly, all the big and small officials in Jeju were also detained, the city defense was quickly taken over by Qi Jin, and all the affairs of Jeju were also taken over.

You must know that Zhu Youxiao brought a lot of people with him on this trip. In addition to Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezhang, two cabinet scholars, there are also many civil and military officials, and some of the six ministries are following.

These people are big people, and it is not difficult to take over a Jeju. There is nothing that is complicated, in their eyes it is all a small matter, and there is nothing that cannot be solved. If you have the power to press down, it's not a problem at all.

After entering Jeju City, the government treasury and auditors were inspected, and everything was going on steadily.

In Jeju City, among the yamen, a sign was also hung to tell the local people that the emperor had come to make decisions for them. No matter who you are, no matter what grievances you have, you can go to the yamen to complain.

All of a sudden, Jeju City was in turmoil.

As for the trial and investigation of the case, Zhu Youxiao naturally could not do it himself, but Huang Kezhang, a member of the Cabinet University, presided over it.

He is a scholar of the Criminal Department, and nothing can stump him. Now it is Xunzi's legalist who is admired, and his attack is black and ruthless, and no one in the entire Jeju City is not afraid.

Accompanying Huang Kezhang were Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and Zhang Yu and others. All of them are young people, arrogant, and always want to do a career, which is naturally a positive performance.

Under such circumstances, Jeju City was running rapidly, and Zhu Youxiao was idle.

It's just that this kind of leisure didn't last for a few days, and as one thing was turned out, some things needed Zhu Youxiao to do.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't care about this, you always have to use dim sum to make money.

Looking at Xu Guangqi who walked in, Zhu Youxiao asked, "Looking at Aiqing's face, it seems that the situation is not optimistic?" ”

"These people are too much, they should all be killed!" Xu Guangqi had a calm face and said slowly: "The minister asked people to check the treasury of Jeju, and all the accounts were not correct. ”

"None of the items in the account can be found in the warehouse, and the average is more than 60% less. The grain in the storehouse is all old grain, and there is no new grain at all. The relief grains allocated by the imperial court were all replaced with old grains and bran. ”

"These people go to eat this for the common people, it is simply bold and reckless! This Zhang Shun is damned! ”

Zhu Youxiao turned his head to look at Chen Hong and said, "Bring Xu Aiqing a cup of tea, let Xu Aiqing be smooth." ”

"Aiqing is not young anymore, why is her temper so short-tempered? You are a cabinet scholar of the imperial court, the second assistant, if you are really angry with him, then you will have to go to the history books. ”

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi also knew that he was too excited, and sighed and said: "The minister has visited the surroundings of Jeju City in the past few days and looked at the affected people around him. ”

"They don't have enough food and clothing, their collapsed houses haven't been opened, and the bodies of the dead have not been buried in many places, so if this continues, there is a high risk of an outbreak." These local officials will do nothing but make money! ”

The more Xu Guangqi spoke, the more excited he became, and continued with some resentment: "The gentry in the city took the opportunity to encroach on the people's fields, hoarded them, and speculated on the price of grain, so that the people had no grain to buy; The people could only sell their land, their fields, and their children. These gentry are damned! ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Xu Guangqi and said, "The parents and officials of a place determine the atmosphere of a place. Zhang Shun is doing corruption, and others are naturally doing the same. ”

"In such a time of calamity, the people are pigs and dogs. If the officials of the imperial court could have restrained it, severely cracked down on hoarding, and severely cracked down on the sale of children and daughters, and land annexation, these people would not dare to do anything. ”

"But when officials take the lead in corruption, they naturally follow suit. Hoping for their conscience, I never thought about it. Although they are full of benevolence, righteousness and morality on weekdays, and they read sage books, when they encounter this kind of opportunity, they only have money in their eyes. ”

After hearing this, Xu Guangqi's heart became heavier and heavier. He found that his mind seemed to have changed, and began to think seriously about Xunzi's thoughts. Baixiao

Human nature is inherently evil, and the desires in people's hearts are greater than the constraints of morality. It seems impossible to restrain the desires of the heart by virtue alone.

Etiquette works at certain times, but it doesn't seem to work more often than not. Zhang Shun is an official of the imperial court, a jinshi in three subjects and two lists, and he also read the sage book and took the exam.

In the past, I felt that Confucianism could not save the Ming Dynasty, so I turned to Catholicism, but now it seems that the situation is even worse than I imagined.

Xu Guangqi couldn't help but raise his head, and when he saw His Majesty, he was a little shocked in his heart.

Your Majesty can see people's hearts so thoroughly at such a young age, it is really amazing!

For Xu Guangqi's admiration, Zhu Youxiao didn't look at it at all, and his current mind is not on it.

Glancing at Xu Guangqi, Zhu Youxiao said: "Bring Huang Kezhang here to discuss, I believe that he also has a lot of things to do, and he also has a lot to say." ”

"Yes, Your Majesty." Xu Guangqi hurriedly agreed.

In fact, many things are obvious, as long as the leader is arrested, and then go down to investigate, the matter cannot be concealed at all.

The key question is whether you want to check it or not.

Can you check it?

Do you dare to check?

If a minister is sent down to investigate, then there will be many things, the first is to attack, these people will find trouble with the minister, dig up his black material, make rumors about him, and how to make him stink. There are also people in the court who protect them and destroy the evidence, and you can't do anything about it.

But these routines commonly used in officialdom are useless when facing themselves as emperors, and they don't play cards according to common sense, so they directly arrest people, and then go to investigate.

No one can restrict the personal freedom of officials, but the emperor himself can. As for making your own rumors, I don't care. It's really forcing those people to be anxious, and they can still achieve their goals by killing Qincha.

Don't say that this kind of thing is not common in officialdom, in fact, when facing life and death, anyone will choose to fight. It's not for nothing that they killed Qincha, and when the time comes, they can put on any hat, even if they don't adapt to the water and soil, they die of illness, and they can do it for any reason.

Even during the Wanli period, the Qincha sent by the Wanli Emperor was directly killed, and the reason given was simpler, the Qincha oppressed the people too cautiously, and the people beat the Qincha to death out of righteous indignation. Local officials didn't stop it at all, and this kind of thing happened one after another.

Zhu Youxiao doesn't believe that this matter is so simple, ordinary people dare to do such a thing? It is simply impossible to say that there is no magistrate behind this.

Without the help of the magistrate, how could the people dare to smash the Qincha? Even if they dare to fight the Qincha, will the local officials still be able to protect the Qincha's life?

In fact, it was the ruthless hands of the local officials, and they were arrested for a random crime.

But when the emperor came, no one dared to do such a thing. Whoever dares to incite the people to make trouble is creating an opposition against himself, the emperor.

What's more, after he arrived at the locality, he redressed the unjust cases, punished the corrupt officials, and opened a warehouse to release grain to the victims.

If someone makes a fuss, it will be a chaotic party with bad intentions, and they will be killed directly.

Soon Huang Kezhang came.

At this time, Huang Kezhang was also angry, and after seeing Zhu Youxiao, he said directly: "Minister, see Your Majesty." ”

"Alright, excuse me." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "There are not so many rules when you go out, sit down and say that you have a sip of tea." ”

After Huang Kezhang also sat down, Zhu Youxiao said: "It seems that Aiqing is also very angry. ”

"Your Majesty, this Jeju prison is full, and it is said that all of them are rioters. After the investigation of the ministers, all these people were victims of the disaster, and they were unwilling to be exploited by the gentry, so they went to the yamen to complain, but they were all arrested. Some were also injured and had their legs broken. ”

"The urgency of Zhang Shun's persecution of the people is simply outrageous! Such officials should be put to death! Please give your Majesty an order, and the minister is willing to carry out the execution. ”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Huang Kezhang, a little helpless, and then said softly: "You two are cabinet scholars, don't be so angry." Isn't this the purpose of coming here to solve something like this? ”

"If Zhang Shunling is allowed to be executed, and you, a cabinet scholar, are to be beheaded, it will go down in history." Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiao smiled.

In fact, Zhu Youxiao knew in his heart that what these two people said was true, and the things that the two of them found out must also exist.

It's just the attitude of the two of them. There is a large part of it that should be acted. As a cabinet scholar, officialdom has been up and down for decades. To put it mildly, they must have seen all these things.

The reason why they are so angry is nothing more than to show their resentment against corrupt officials. Many of these things are for themselves, the emperor, to show their loyalty and at the same time to make themselves feel that they are loyal courtiers.

However, Zhu Youxiao will not debunk it, this kind of acting is very popular.

So Zhu Youxiao said: "How are the other officials of Jeju government doing? ”

"A raccoon dog." Huang Kezhang said directly: "Basically, they are all in the same stream as Zhang Shun. Most of those who did not join him have been dismissed by him in various names. There are also two sick people who are at home, and they don't want to be in the same league with him. ”

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "Then get them back and see if they have any evidence in their hands." ”

"When it comes to giving the people a plan, you have to do it quickly and urgently. In addition, prepare food and open a warehouse outside the city as soon as possible. Xu Guangqi, you mobilized the soldiers of the original Jeju guard to help the people in disaster relief. I will also ask Jinyi Wei Xu Xianchun to cooperate with you, and at the same time, Chen Sihai of the Judge Advocate General's Office under the General Staff Office will also cooperate with you. ”

"Let them work with peace of mind. If anyone dares to oppress the people, they will all be dealt with according to military law. Jinyi Sanitation Supervisor, if someone does not contribute to the work, all will be severely punished. ”

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minister will arrange it immediately." Xu Guangqi hurriedly agreed.

"In addition, those gentry involved in lawsuits should be sentenced and sentenced, and their homes should be raided. Only those who had hoarded were all arrested and interrogated severely, and they were asked to take out all the food. ”

"If you just hoard grain, then pay a fine for grain. If there are other cases, they will be severely punished. ”

When Zhu Youxiao said these words, his expression was flat and his tone was soft, but every sentence decided the life and death of countless people, which made people shudder.
