Chapter 80: Rats have no skin

The peasant uprising, the word that Zhu Youzhen was most reluctant to hear, was different from the nomadic herdsmen, fishing and hunting peoples who refused to obey the king, these peasants who could not eat and had no way out were his people.

The peasants of China have the most industrious, hard-working, and forbearant nature in the world, and if they were not really desperate, Zhu Youzhen believed that they would not have embarked on the road of rebellion if they had something to eat.

The peasants of the Ming Dynasty were miserable, the exploitation of the government, the oppression of the gentry, and the victimization of the petty officials were not over, and God did not help.

At the end of the Ming Dynasty, during the Xiaoice River period, various natural disasters such as droughts, floods, and severe cold occurred frequently, so that the dying peasants, who were already oppressed by the gentry and petty officials of the government, completely lost hope of life.

Both horizontal and vertical are dead, and the bold ones naturally learned that Chen Sheng and Wu Guang.

Thinking of this, Zhu Youzhen collected his mood and glanced up at the ministers in the audience.

In the end, his eyes fell on Bi Ziyan, the head of the household book.

The Tang newspaper of the cabinet is naturally not as fast as Dongchang and Jinyiwei, so the ministers were recruited in a hurry, and they didn't know the truth at this time.

But seeing Zhu Youzhen's cold face, the ministers knew that it would not be a good thing, so they all stood solemnly and waited for Zhu Youzhen's words.

"Bi Butang, the 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver allocated to Shaanxi before can be handled properly?"

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen asked about the disaster relief money with a straight face, Bi Ziyan was a little more determined in his heart.

Because the 300,000 taels of disaster relief silver were paid by the emperor, Bi Ziyan was afraid that the people below would not be serious and it would be difficult to make a difference, so he personally supervised the allocation.

300,000 taels of silver was not a penny, but it was not a lot, and all of them were handed over to the officials of the Shaanxi Political Envoy Department.

At this time, seeing Zhu Youzhen ask about this matter, Bi Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he didn't listen to his subordinates' routine at that time, otherwise he would have sat on wax now.

"Back to Your Majesty, three days after the pre-imperial meeting, 300,000 taels of silver have been handed over to the Shaanxi officials, and the account books of the household department have been signed and pledged."

Bi Ziyan asked himself if he had done anything wrong, so Shi Shiran stepped forward and replied.

"yes, okay."

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand at Bi Ziyan, signaled him to return to work, and then asked Liu Zongzhou.

"Imperial Envoy Liu Du, how is the conduct of Shaanxi officials?"

Without Dongchang and Jinyiwei ventilating in advance, these civil officials didn't know what was going on, and when they saw Zhu Youzhen asking themselves, Liu Zongzhou was also a second monk at a loss.

Moreover, he has just taken office in the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and many things have not been straightened out, and he only has a slight idea of the official conduct of Shaanxi Province, but at this time, His Majesty asked, so he had to step forward and reply.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister has just performed his duties not long ago, and has not yet begun to investigate the Fengxian, but since the minister took office, there has been no imperial history to impeach the Shaanxi Provincial officials, presumably it is okay, after the minister returns, that is, the Fengxian investigation, what will happen in the end, it must be clear."

Liu Zongzhou is worthy of being the great master of science, and his words are not leaky.

Although Zhu Youzhen was not very satisfied with his answer, he had indeed just performed his duties, and he could not be too strict.

"Well, I'll explain the matter of Fengxian's investigation later."

Zhu Youzhen signaled Liu Zongzhou to return to work, and then set his sights on the Shaanxi Provincial Inspector Yu Shi Lu'an, who was at the bottom of the list and was not qualified to participate in the imperial meeting.

Although the ministers still don't know what the hell is, after Zhu Youzhen's two questions, they all know that it should be related to the Shaanxi disaster relief silver.

The officials who had nothing to do with this matter made up their minds, stood aside, and acted as the melon-eating masses.

And the only seventh-grade petty official in the main hall also knew what Zhu Youzhen was angry about at this time, so he was like sifting chaff in the corner.

"Lu Yushi, I ask you, how is the conduct of Shaanxi Provincial officials?"

Since Lu An received the notice from the palace, he was worried in his heart, looking back on his political achievements since he was elected official, and he knew that there was nothing that could be circled by the Son of Heaven.

But as for the bad deeds since he became an official, Lu An didn't think there was anything, at this time, which official was not greedy, compared to his colleagues in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, he was still incorruptible.

Of course, this is also because he supervises Shaanxi, which is poor, and naturally it is not as filial piety as Jiangsu and Zhejiang officials.

But then Zhu You asked about the disaster relief money in Shaanxi a month ago, and Lu An immediately knew that this level was not easy to pass.

300,000 taels of disaster relief silver, Shaanxi political envoys gave him 10,000 taels of filial piety, as for Shaanxi officials at all levels to dispose of the rest of the silver, it is unknown.

But judging from Zhu Youzhen's expression at this time, the situation should not be very optimistic.

Lu An saw Zhu Youzhen asking himself at this time, his brain turned a few times quickly, and then his heart sank, and he knelt down and bowed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister impeached Zhao Baishi, the governor of Shaanxi, for embezzling grain and silver for disaster relief!"

One sentence shocked a thousand waves, and Lu An, a seven-grade petty official, successfully attracted the attention of many bigwigs in the DPRK and China.

And Zhu Youzhen, who was sitting on the throne, was also shocked by the counterattack of this seven-rank petty official at this time.

Regarding the ineffective disaster relief of Shaanxi Provincial officials, Zhu Youzhen originally wanted to take the first knife from this little imperial history with poor supervision, first kill the chickens and monkeys, and then send Dongchang, Jinyiwei, Dali Temple, the Criminal Department, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate to form a special team to thoroughly investigate.

didn't think about it, but he was taken the lead by others, Zhu Youzhen didn't realize that he was secretly in his heart, this civil official of the Ming Dynasty was really a fuel-efficient lamp.

"Oh?"

Zhu Youzhen put away his surprise and looked at the dying struggle of the supervising imperial history in a playful tone.

"Then tell me about it."

When Lu An heard this, he was immediately dumbfounded, and said, what to say? How much to say? Do you say it all, or do you say it selectively? Is it just about the governor Zhao Baishi, or even with the political envoy Si Yamen, or even the colleagues of the Imperial Procuratorate who may have received benefits?

Lu An was speechless for a while, but Zhu Youzhen was impatient, and he was so scared that Lu An didn't dare to delay any longer.

Then he said ominously and selectively about Zhao Baishi's embezzlement of disaster relief money.

But even if he said it falsely and provocatively, his impeachment of a governor in court still shocked these court bigwigs.

One by one, they didn't dare to come out, and they pretended to be transparent people in a daze.

Regarding the matter of the Shaanxi Provincial officials, this Lu An was not impeached early or late, but he mentioned this stubble before he was impeached, and Zhu Youzhen knew that this Lu An might not be clean, so he had the intention to tease him.

"Well, what else?"

Zhu Youzhen took a sip of tea and asked again after a while.

Seeing that Zhu Youzhen's face was less anxious at this time, Lu An's heart was a little calm, but when he heard the tone, he didn't hastily understand the meaning of this matter, and Lu An didn't care for a while, so he could only take one step at a time, and tell what he knew little by little.

Later, he told a lot about the affairs of the Shaanxi political envoy Si Yamen.

When Zhu Youzhen heard this, he was a little unhappy in his heart, although this Lu An is a seven-grade petty official, but he is as cunning as a fox, the Son of Heaven asked in person, and he still had luck in his heart, and spit out little by little, it seems that he really doesn't shed tears when he doesn't see the coffin.

In addition, the situation in Shaanxi is urgent, and if there is a delay, I am afraid that one of the people will starve to death, Zhu Youzhen did not have time to play dumb riddles with this bedbug, and then said.

"Well, good, very good, Lu Yushi is really a good imperial history of Shaanxi officials, it seems that he knows a lot about the shortcomings of Shaanxi officials, come on, send Lu Yushi to Zhaojiao to talk about it."

When Lu An heard this, he immediately collapsed into a pile of mud.

Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison, that is the place where the Ming Dynasty officials heard the change, although the apocalypse was a little weaker, but since the new emperor ascended the throne, many officials have folded into it, and the reputation of Jinyi Wei Zhao Prison has gradually been established again.

"Back to Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, the minister knows that he is wrong, and the minister says! The ministers all said! Your Majesty's mercy, Your Majesty!. ”

Without waiting for Lu An to howl again, the two brocade-clothed guards stepped forward and dragged him out.
