Chapter 200: Arrival in Shanxi
At this moment, Fei Ju walked in and bowed down and said, "Your Highness, the last general has taken over the garrison of Kaifeng Mansion, and the cronies of the Marquis of Yangling and the Marquis of Cangping have also been taken. ”
Zhu Biao nodded and said, "Act cheaply, and if something is wrong, make a decision immediately." ”
Fei Ju bowed down to receive the order, and Zhu Biao instructed Guo Chong, Wu Bozong and others on the side: "The official vacancies in Kaifeng Mansion are now taken over by the palace, and you will assist you." “
Guo Chong and others immediately bowed down to promise, this is a rare opportunity to contact government affairs, Zhu Biao asked people to get pen and ink, and wrote two reports, so that people could quickly send them to the capital, and asked the imperial court to immediately send officials to fill the vacancy in Kaifeng Mansion.
Half an hour later, Zhu Fan led the people back to the palace with large and small boxes, including the title deeds of the grange, gold, silver and jewelry, and a box full of letters and account books.
The more I look at it, the more frowning I become, the interest network of these people is extremely huge, from the nobles of the capital to the pawns guarding the border passes, the Kaifeng general judgment really has a benefit, but compared with other people, it is a lot smaller, it can be seen that they do have contradictions.
Zhu Biao waved his hand and asked Li Jin to record the list, and I have to say that the names were recorded one by one, and even Li Jin's head was sweating, and the embezzlement of the granary was by no means a problem of Kaifeng.
This basically formed a complete chain, if it weren't for the fact that the route of the march and the documents for the distribution of grain and grass were all formulated by Zhu Biao the day before departure, they would have plugged the hole long ago.
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di on the side glanced at each other, and they both felt that they had offended more people this time, and the highest on the list could only be traced to a few marquis lords in the capital, but if there was no big head above, it would be impossible.
Zhu Biao looked at the box full of account books and letters and smiled, the corrupt officials are good at this, in order to keep each other's handles, they will keep the account books and letters, otherwise no one will be at ease with whom, with these, the two sides can rest assured and bold, and cooperate closely.
After all, it doesn't look good if everyone dies, and this can be regarded as a potential deterrent, so that these officials on the list can protect his safety, rights, etc. when necessary.
Therefore, Zhu Fan and Zhu Di have not caught the big fish yet, and the capital began to keep writing and pleading, because they knew that such a big deficit would not be hidden for long.
The prefect of Kaifeng did not dare to destroy these account books and letters, who would save him without these, he could only be reduced to an outcast, so he kept saying that he had gone to the court to ask for punishment, as long as the letters were still there, even if they were degraded for a while, they would be able to make a comeback sooner or later.
In the past, the officials sent by the imperial court to inspect the granary, even if they found out what was going on, they would never dare to report to the imperial court under pressure from all sides, after all, after playing the imperial court, the other party did not know how many people died, and he would definitely not survive.
However, they were caught by Zhu Biao, they had no choice but to write letters to intercede, their power was extremely powerful in the eyes of others, and they were big iron balls that could smash people to death, but in Zhu Biao's eyes, they were just a bubble, as long as they wanted to poke it, it would burst.
In the next two days, half of the officials in Kaifeng Mansion were arrested and put in prison, and Zhu Biao stopped arresting, the big heads had already been arrested, and the prisons in Kaifeng Mansion were full.
During this period, Zhu Biao also received some letters from nobles pleading, which did not say much, but continued to show his loyalty, expressing his willingness to go to the soup for His Royal Highness in the future.
Zhu Biao naturally doesn't look down on it, the ghost goes to the soup, and he doesn't need to rebel, not to mention what a few marquis are all about, he doesn't intend to show mercy in this matter, and he must get rid of the evil.
The prefect of Kaifeng shouted that he would not be punished by the sergeant, but it turned out that a set of torture instruments did not survive, and the biggest beneficiary of this interest network was also confessed, Zhu Biao originally thought that it would be a certain boss of Huaixi Xungui.
Unexpectedly, it was Yang Xian, it turned out that when Yang Xian was in charge of Yangzhou, in order to show his political achievements to the imperial court, he secretly allocated tens of thousands of stone of grain from granaries from all over the country, that is, Yang Xian was just a participant.
After he was transferred back to Beijing, he immediately began the road of steady progress, and naturally became the leader of this matter, which is why Yang Xian was able to gather a wave of forces that were enough to fight against Huaixi Xungui in such a short period of time.
Zhu Biao has to think about it at this time, whether to point out Yang Xian, his life has already been decided, early death and late death are deaths, but the time to die must be just right.
If you kill Yang Xian now, it will be in vain Zhu Yuanzhang's cultivation of Yang Xian in the past two years, Zhu Biao sat behind the bookcase, and Zhu Di stood below waiting for the eldest brother's orders.
Zhu Biao put down the confession of the Kaifeng prefect and said: "Order all those who know to keep their mouths shut, as for the Kaifeng prefect, let him commit suicide in fear of crime,"
Zhu Di was a little puzzled, but he didn't say anything, he bowed down and went down to make arrangements, Liu Jin brought the brazier, Zhu Biao threw the confession in, Yang Xian's capital crime is not lacking.
The next day, Xu Yungong escorted more than 1,000 Qingzhuang mountain bandits to Kaifeng Mansion, and Zhu Biao ordered these people and those officials who were arrested and imprisoned to be escorted to Fengyang to open up the wasteland.
The officials sent by the imperial court to fill the vacancy are also about to arrive, and they will quickly walk a few more waterways, much faster than Zhu Biaoke, Zhu Fan has already set off to inspect the granary, this matter is not over, it must be more and more checked.
Zhu Biao stayed in Kaifeng Mansion for two days to deal with government affairs, and used the confiscated goods to buy a batch of grain, and the local families also gave His Royal Highness the crown prince a face, and took out a lot of the food stored by the family, although it was not as much as expected, but it was finally enough to last for a while.
After handing over with the officials sent by the imperial court, Zhu Biao led the troops to continue to set off, out of the territory of Kaifeng Mansion, Zhu Biao turned his head to take a look, and the new Kaifeng prefect just now came to mind, who knows if this will be a new hungry wolf?
Zhu Biao shook his head and turned around and continued on the road, this time there was no large-scale collection of women and children in villages and towns, the time was delayed a little, and he had to hurry to Shanxi.
Over the mountains and mountains, trekking through mountains and rivers, and was delayed by the rain for two or three days, and finally arrived in Shanxi, the army was stationed near Pingyang Mansion, Xu Yungong and Zhu Fan also returned, the mountain bandits along the way were almost suppressed, and the remaining small ones were hidden in the mountains, and no one could do anything.
Zhu Fan and Zhu Di can't come for the time being, there are more or less problems in the granaries everywhere, they are busy now, fortunately, Zhu Biao has set a standard for them, they should be killed, and those who are not killed will be sent to Fengyang to open up the wasteland, and the stolen money will be seized to buy grain.
After the army was stationed, the officials of Pingyang Mansion came to visit, and Zhu Biao was also used to it, so he cheered up and prepared to send them away politely.
