Zhu Biao also saw that Lao Zhu was disapproving to the Jurchen Goryeo, in fact, there was nothing wrong, who would have thought that the Jurchen would enter the customs two hundred years later, this is really surprising, Lao Zhu has always been worried about only the unstoppable Mongolia that once stepped on the world.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and knocked on the name of the Jurchen leader of Jianzhou on Xinhan, it seems that he is going to send someone to contact him, since more than ten years ago, Goryeo took advantage of the decline of the country at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and actively expanded its territory to the northeast of Goryeo and the middle and upper reaches of the Yalu River, forcibly expelled the Jurchens who lived here, and forced them to return, and the means were quite cruel.

Now the former patriarch of the Jianzhou Jurchen tribe died in the hands of Goryeo, so he has been resisting desperately, but unfortunately he has been defeated and retreated, and now he has retreated into the mountains and forests, relying on the terrain and outstanding cavalry to contain the Goryeo army.

Zhu Biao hopes that the two of them are evenly matched, and it is best to fight to the death, rather than such a crushing victory in Goryeo, although the two sides also have attrition, but Zhu Biao is not satisfied, there are still too few dead, as much as possible to consume their vital strength, and only then can they be suppressed and taken over.

The Ming Dynasty now has no energy to plan for the Northeast region, but sooner or later it will have to take over somewhere, there are only concubines on the side of the couch, and if they don't surrender, they will die, and there is no room for relaxation.

Zhu Biao's eyes were empty and he was silently planning to see where he could intervene, even if he lost some benefits, it didn't matter, how could a person in the overall situation care about temporary gains and losses.

"Biao'er, Biao'er? Zhu Biao, Prince! ”

"Ah~ヽ(; ▽； )ノ”

Zhu Biao instantly came back to his senses: "The son is here, please ask my father to command." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head, he didn't know why his son was interested in those irrelevant things, and how good it was to have that kung fu to think about the balance of the officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while and said: "Don't be in a hurry to thoroughly investigate the affairs of the Criminal Department, this time we want to cut the meat with a blunt knife, and the Criminal Department dares to play small tricks under our noses, so we have to treat it well." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and promised, and then was about to go out, and when he was leaving, he heard Lao Zhu say: "The second and third children are young and tall, and their brains are not enough, you take care of them more, don't let them be deceived." ”

Zhu Biao nodded: "Father and emperor, don't worry, they are all sensible, just teach more children, and nothing will happen." ”

After finishing speaking, he went out of the palace and went to the criminal department, and as soon as he left the palace gate, he saw Zhang Wei coming to pick him up, followed by a hundred soldiers and horses from the command department: "Participate in His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhu Biao nodded and got into the car, Zhang Wei got on the horse and followed the car to report: "The last general was ordered to take over the Criminal Department and Dali Temple, Zhao Houye personally went to the prison of the Criminal Department, and the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory also checked the official documents under the care of the soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses. ”

Zhu Biao replied through the curtain: "Go to the Punishment Department first, and then order Zhao Yong to watch the prison, and throw a jailer or prisoner to the palace to put his head on it." ”

Zhang Wei promised loudly, but the car stopped in front of the criminal department, Zhu Biao jumped out of the carriage with a calm face, he suddenly remembered that when he thoroughly inspected the household department, that time he personally sketched the list of death sentences, did he kill 300 people or 500 people that time? It's a little blurry.

There were soldiers of the Soldiers and Horses Division standing guard inside and outside the Criminal Department, and even the Taiping Jar was moved, for fear that important materials would be set on fire by the mad people, and they were ready to extinguish the fire at any time, and Zhu Biao was quite satisfied with this.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department and Han Qi in the Imperial History came out to greet the prince together, and the rest of the people were locked in the room, not allowed to move around at will, let alone communicate with each other.

Zhu Biao waved his hand to let the two people kneeling on the ground get up, ignored the pale face of the Criminal Department Shangshu, and asked Han Qi directly, "Have you found anything?" ”

Han Qi said directly: "The Criminal Department has taken bribes, and now it has been found from the official letters of accounts that 23 people, including the director of the Criminal Department, Wai Lang, have been corrupted and abused their powers, and the rest are still under investigation. ”

Zhu Biao read the official positions of these people softly: "It's not above the fifth grade, but it's fast to think about it, does the criminal department still have something to say?" If you say it now, this palace can also intercede with the Holy One on your behalf. ”

Shangshu of the Criminal Department twitched his face a few times and said: "The officials and ministers below don't have much contact on weekdays, but I didn't expect them to dare to do this, but the ministers have the crime of not being strict with the emperor, and I ask His Highness to punish him." ”

Zhu Biao glanced at him fixedly and smiled: "If it is really just a concealment from the people below, it is not a big sin for Shangshu to be negligent for a while, and it is true that there is this problem in any part." ”

The Shangshu of the Criminal Department immediately knelt down and wept and said: "Your Royal Highness is wise, Weichen is the Shangshu of the Criminal Department every day, and I dare not act rashly, for fear of losing the emperor's grace, but now the Criminal Department has this kind of problem, the so-called tiger is out of the Sheng, and the turtle jade is destroyed in the coffin, and the warden must not shirk his responsibility, and the minister will ask the Holy Lord to send a decree tomorrow to remove the official position of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department." ”

Zhu Biao personally helped the person up and said with relief: "It's good that Shangshu has this heart, and my father will be very happy when he hears it." ”

In the imperial history, Han Qi was very suspicious of the criminal department, but he also comforted him when he saw this: "If Li Shangshu is not guilty of corruption and bribery, then the old man will also intercede for you in front of the saint, the saint has long said that if the honest official has a mistake, there will be forgiveness, but in the future, you should pay attention to it, and you must not live up to the grace of heaven." ”

There was a faint sound of wailing and crying from the courtyard next door to the kung fu who spoke, how could the officials of the criminal department also be officials of the imperial court, no one dared to serve without Zhu Biao's order, but the more than 20 officials who were determined to be corrupt and bribery were not in this case.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department heard this voice and his calves were weak again, he knew that these people couldn't stand the heavy punishment, no, they couldn't even stand a few whips to warm up, and they would definitely call out all the answers.

Fortunately, these people are in charge of low positions, and even if they give gifts, they are not qualified to send them to him, but after such a layer of investigation, I am afraid that he will still be exposed in the end, but what about the confession now, he still doesn't know the temper of the saint?

With the amount of money he embezzled, the prince pleaded for mercy and the whole family could not escape death, since it was better to survive to the end, what if things took a turn for the better?

Zhu Biao walked around casually with his hands on his back, he naturally knew the thoughts of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, to be honest, this kind of case was not too easy to investigate, he came just to prevent someone from killing people and sacrificing a group of people to protect the top few.

It has always been difficult for the government to investigate its own cases because of this, if he hadn't given the death order, the Soldiers and Horses Division and Nanxiong Marquis Zhao Yong would not have been so serious, they also have human relations, who knows if they will fall off the horse one day, everyone is a colleague There is no life and death feud, multiple friends and multiple ways out.

Suddenly, Zhang Yong came over and knelt down with a black face and said: "The last general is derelict in his duties, and Qian Zhi, the servant of the Criminal Department, committed suicide by taking poison." ”

Zhu Biao raised his eyebrows, and the eyes of the criminal department Shangshu on the side flashed with the light of a desperate life, how could he easily accept bribes to give people a handle, everything was transferred from Qian Zhi's side.
