Wang Guangyang bowed down and agreed, and the secretary of the military department stood up again and said: "Laizhou Mansion was plundered by the Japanese invaders, and Wu Zhen, the Marquis of Jinghai, led the Jiangyin Four Guards Water Army, went out to sea to hunt down the Japanese invaders, chased them all the way to the sea near the Ryukyus, and beheaded more than 1,000 captured Japanese warships. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and praised: "The Marquis of Jinghai lived up to my expectations and rewarded him with a hundred taels of gold, and the Ministry of War rewarded the soldiers according to the regulations, hoping that they would make persistent efforts."

Then there was the Household Department, asking the imperial court to levy conscription and conscription, and to consolidate the embankment of the Yellow River, although it was also built last year, but now with the river washing, there is an unstable trend, so it is better to plan as soon as possible, just in case.

Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time before he said: "In the local levy and issue conscription, it is allowed to use granaries to supply the conscripted people, and no one is allowed to starve to death, and the speed must not delay the people's autumn harvest as soon as possible. ”

The officials below received the order, but Zhu Biao knew that it was time for them to get rich again, and it would be strange if the public grain was not embezzled, the local granaries were probably empty, and the people were afraid that they would starve to death and die of exhaustion.

However, those corrupt officials will not be better, and the most deadly crimes committed against the wind are unfortunate, but unfortunately they will not wake up until they die, and the rest of them will not be taught a lesson at all, this is the official.

In the end, Yan Donglai, the secretary of Dali Temple, stood up and said: "The minister wants to impeach the officials of the criminal department for chaos and disorder, and extortion is common in the Jingshi Prison. ”

The court was quiet for a moment, and the first establishment of Dali Temple actually directly aimed the spearhead at the criminal department, the water here is too deep, and then think that His Royal Highness the Prince personally went to Dali Temple yesterday, and he heard that he was severely admonished.

The squire of the Criminal Department immediately stood up and said: "Dali Siqing is really a new official with three fires, but it is impossible to frame him out of thin air in front of the saint and Chitose, there is evidence for what you said!" ”

Before Yan Dong could speak, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department bowed directly to Zhu Yuanzhang and pleaded guilty: "What Dali Siqing said is not slander out of thin air, the minister has also heard about this matter, the jailer of the Jingshi Prison was left by the previous dynasty, and there are many winds of extortion, and the minister has sent someone to investigate, and is preparing to eliminate such unhealthy trends in one fell swoop and maintain the majesty of my Ming law!" ”

Zhu Biao glanced at this person, and he was quite decisive in doing things, if the criminal department did not admit it, then Lao Zhu would naturally send someone to investigate thoroughly, and without using any means, he would directly torture those jailers and torture them, and he would have to recruit anything.

There is nothing good about being a jailer, what can be insisted on, you don't need to be punished and served, you can tell everything you know, and in the end, whoever is implicated depends on the emperor's intentions, and these criminal department books are naturally clear.

Zhu Biao glanced at Lao Zhu, who didn't plan to speak out, and then said: "The Shangshu of the Criminal Department means to admit that there are illegal things in the prison of the Criminal Department, and even the officials of the Criminal Department are involved?" ”

In the imperial history, Cheng Han Qi stood up and reprimanded sharply: "Since I have long known why I waited until Dali Siqing identified it, why do I need to do more investigation for this kind of thing, the duty of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is to punish, and the prison is your subordinate office, and it is to send someone to take it down, do you want to rely on clever arguments to escape the crime of lax royal majesty!" ”

This old man was personally recommended by Liu Bowen before leaving, his person was just withdrawn and self-assured of poverty, Zhu Yuanzhang personally went to his house, it was really a poor family on all sides, even Lao Zhu was so cold-hearted that he couldn't help but cry and admire, and specially rewarded ten white cloth and 1,000 taels of silver as a reward.

This kind of person is the same as Qian Tang, as long as he remains honest and honest, Zhu Yuanzhang will give him three points, and the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is naturally quite helpless: "Han Zhongcheng misunderstood, if he doesn't take it immediately, he just doesn't want to startle the snake, after all, the position that the jailer can access is definitely not high, and the Holy Rili has a lot of opportunities and state affairs, and the lower officials think that such a trivial matter might as well wait for a thorough investigation to be in the Ming Sheng, and I don't want to be told by Dali Siqing now." ”

Yan Donglai said with a smile: "If Shang Shu had a plan, it would be a nosy official, but I'm afraid that Shang Shu wants to protect his subordinates, or protect himself." ”

These words instantly became chaotic in the court, and the officials of the six ministries accused Yan Donglai one after another, especially the servant of the criminal department, who was like thunder: "Shengshang, Yan Donglai, the secretary of Dali Temple, said in vain in front of the emperor, and dared to frame important members of the court out of thin air without any real evidence. ”

Li Yan, the secretary of the criminal department, knelt on the ground with a calm face: "The minister has the grace of the saint to enter the court as an official, and since he was appointed as the secretary of the criminal department, he has been sleeping every day, lest he make a mistake and lose the emperor's grace. ”

Yan Donglai, the secretary of Dali Temple, also knelt on the ground honestly, although his face did not fluctuate in worry, he was still panicked, now everything is a matter of the emperor's words, if you want to investigate the criminal department, it is naturally simple, and the of such a big physique cannot be wiped clean, not to mention that Li Yan was not less corrupt and bribed in the former yuan.

The official Shangshu also stood up and said: "Li Shangshu has been diligent in his duties since he took office, and the ministers dare not guarantee that he is honest and flawless, but he also follows the rules, but he is by no means conniving at the corruption of his subordinates. ”

Zhongshu Province will not participate in this kind of thing, Wang Guangyang Hu Weiyong is even more on the wall, since the six departments have self-reliant thoughts, then go and try it, without us to carry, it is not comfortable to face the pressure of the saint, do you really think that a ministry official can withstand it?

Xungui's side is even more interesting, Xu Da Li Wenzhong is here, and the rest of the marquis are like watching a play, they can't wait to shout a few hellos, the civil officials of the six departments have always had a lot of, and they have been scolded behind their backs, so it's uncomfortable now.

As long as it doesn't involve the noble generals, then they are not too lively, and the people who play with the pen are not a good thing, they kill each other, and they always find fault with them when they are idle.

In the imperial history, Han Qi pointed the finger at Yan Donglai at this time: "Dali Siqing can have evidence to identify the Shangshu of the Criminal Department, you are not the imperial history, if you just hear about it, then you have made a mistake, and the old man has to impeach you!" ”

The corners of Yan Donglai's mouth twitched, and he thought that Yu Shi Zhongcheng was in the same group as him, after all, there were many problems in the Criminal Department, and everyone knew it in their hearts, but they didn't expect that the old man would not distinguish between the enemy and me.

Yan Donglai bowed down and said: "Dali Temple has just been established, but it has also reviewed many important cases sent by the Criminal Department, among which three important cases have obviously been sentenced lightly, such as the crime of embezzlement of public funds, the main offender was sentenced to a lighter sentence than the accomplice, and two more sentences were heavy, and there are ............"
