Chapter 89: Anti-Corruption Operation (1)
The open and secret struggle between Xu Da and Lan Yu has not yet ended, the two newspapers are fighting to the death because of some trivial headlines, for the sake of performance, whether it is Zhu Yuanzhang's Yingtian Daily or Ma Sanbao and Zhu Di's newspapers dominated by Beiping Daily, they can't stop the pace of fighting, and the internal struggle Zhu Yuanzhang did not order to prohibit it, after all, his newspaper is all about grabbing business with his own son, not to mention the internal fighting between generals.
Northern Yuan, in the barracks of the Mongolian army, Emperor Tianyuan, who was the Khan of Mongolia, also received two daily newspapers from Daming, and when he saw the content of the daily newspapers, he almost laughed, and even his usually serious face couldn't help laughing, "Newspapers, outdated things, I didn't expect that they can still be seen here." β
Emperor Tianyuan's words made many Mongolian non-commissioned officers and generals puzzled, the concept of the Ming Dynasty newspaper should be ahead of the times, why is it not worth mentioning in front of the Emperor Tianyuan? You must know that all officials, civil and military officials are impressed by the newspapers of the Ming Dynasty, and in their eyes, although the Han people only play some tricks every day, these Han people are always able to make ideas that they cannot do as Mongolians.
"It's really an outdated thing, and few people have seen it for a long time." Emperor Tian Yuan closed the newspaper, stretched his waist, stood up from his position, and threw the newspaper in his hand aside, these newspapers were completely pediatric for Emperor Tian Yuan, "It seems that the Han people are not simple!" It's a pity that he didn't cast into a royal family. β
Emperor Tianyuan's inexplicable words made many officials not know how to respond, they sent advice one after another, since the withdrawal of troops back to Mongolia, it is clear that there is no intention to invade, and Naier Buhua in Mongolia has not even complained.
"I have a temporary decision, I plan to change some systems before the Han people, just like Wang Mang's new dynasty in the Han Dynasty, if anyone objects, you can mention it to me." Suddenly, Emperor Tian Yuan opened his mouth and decided to change the political system, and for a while, all the officials, civil and military were frightened, and looked at this whimsical khan in surprise.
............................................
The Northern Yuan Dynasty is about to launch a coup d'Γ©tat, and Da Ming is really smooth sailing, Zhu Yuanzhang has no intention of changing the law, he thinks that his Ming Dynasty is the most prosperous and prosperous dynasty in the past dynasties, with Zhu Yuanzhang's conceit and arrogance, he does not take other systems in his eyes at all, and there have been officials who have advised him to change the law, but they have all let Zhu Yuanzhang send him away, without giving him any chance.
In Beiping City, since Long Wenyuan came to power, the people have seen the government a lot more favorably, and the Beiping prefect no longer only looks at etiquette as before, at least in the eyes of the people, it has also become a cadre who does practical things.
"Fourth Highness, you see, this Beiping, now the wind and water, I think, if there is a chance, the next emperor had better move the capital here, under our governance, if we have the opportunity to assist a majesty, Beiping is undoubtedly the most suitable foundation for us." Long Wenyuan talked to Zhu Di in the mansion, and even mentioned assisting the emperor, you must know that in the eyes of Zhu Yuanzhang, the most qualified person to succeed to the throne is the eldest prince Zhu Biao, as for the other princes, in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, they are still far from the emperor's position, followed by Zhu Biao's son Zhu Xiongying has the opportunity to inherit the throne.
Assisting the emperor, this point is even more unthinkable in Zhu Di's mind, he also understands that the possibility of being the king is too small, instead of coveting the throne, it is better to follow what Long Wenyuan said, see if you can help an emperor to the throne, as far as the current point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang has entered middle age, although it should be a long time before he dies, but sooner or later the emperor needs to be renewed, if he can successfully assist an emperor, maybe there is still the possibility of coercing the princes of the Son of Heaven.
Beiping is Zhu Di's domain, and it is the foundation that Zhu Di is about to lay for so many years, what Long Wenyuan said just touched Zhu Di's heart, Zhu Di did not object, but Zhu Di also thought of being able to follow the emperor's side and listen to the addiction of politics.
Ma Sanbao did not participate in the two of them's thoughts on assisting the emperor to ascend the throne, he had long known that the future emperor must be the one named Zhu Di next to him, but after thinking about it, a lot of strange things have happened in recent times that he has never heard of in history, maybe the emperor will no longer belong to the Zhu family in the future, and the seeds planted in his heart before have a faint tendency to germinate.
"Beiping, although it is well managed, these corrupt officials still have to be brought to justice in order to make the whole of Beiping prosperous!" Suddenly, Ma Sanbao interrupted the communication between Zhu Di and Long Wenyuan, now that Long Wenyuan is in power, the corrupt officials have converged a lot, but on the list, there are signs of corruption from the prefect to the guards, obviously the root cause of Beiping has not been eliminated, and now thinking about the foundation of Beiping, it is inevitable that he is too optimistic.
"What you said is true, we should take down these corrupt officials layer by layer, along the vine!" Long Wenyuan opened his mouth, he spread out the list on his desk again, this list marked all the corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but the list was so big and involved that Long Wenyuan, as the prefect, had no way to take them all.
As a vassal king, Zhu Di once again felt that he did not have much power in Beiping after seeing the list, most of the officials in Beiping were embezzled, and he did not put him in his eyes at all, once upon a time, even the former prefect of Beiping stepped on his head to collect silver taels to earn his difference, and was mentioned by Ma Sanbao, which is indeed not optimistic, Zhu Di was obviously blindly optimistic before, a little taken for granted, and now thinking about it, he still looks a little young.
"It's time to deal with corrupt officials, and this can't rely on the position of supervising the imperial history? Your Majesty has given you this position, and you have a lot more role than we do. Long Wenyuan suddenly looked at Ma Sanbao, for a while, Ma Sanbao felt a little suffocated, no wonder Zhu Di was afraid of this teacher, it turned out that Long Wenyuan's cold eyes shot directly into Ma Sanbao's heart, if it weren't for Ma Sanbao not being as young as he looked on the outside, maybe he would really be intimidated by Long Wenyuan.
The arrest and pursuit of corrupt officials is simply embarrassing Ma Sanbao, although Beiping has the same supervision of the imperial history, but he is the only one who really obtains this task, as the supervision of the imperial history, his official position is not big, the task is arduous, and he needs to climb up step by step, if he wants to have an official position, but it is much more difficult than Zhu Di, after all, Zhu Di is a relative of the emperor, and he is just a child who was brought into the territory of the Ming Dynasty from Yunnan.
"It's not easy to catch corrupt officials." Ma Sanbao was very helpless, and said that there is a long way to go, and the greater the ability, the greater the responsibility, but he is just a nine-rank sesame official, and there is a vassal king and a second rank in front of him, these two people don't help, and they all throw it on themselves, is he really Doraemon omnipotent?
"That's why you have to supervise the imperial history, otherwise what do you want to do with the official position of supervising the imperial history?" Long Wenyuan stared at Ma Sanbao and said coldly, scared Ma Sanbao to be clever, if it was in his previous life, he used this tone to talk to his subordinates, or the first time someone spoke to him in the same cold tone.
Ma Sanbao was so shocked that he didn't dare to speak, he looked at Long Wenyuan stupidly, Long Wenyuan also stared at Ma Sanbao for a long time, Zhu Di on the side almost laughed, "Someone can finally cure this kid, this kid is usually bad, but fortunately there is a teacher, one thing drops one thing, it's really good!" β
Seeing that Ma Sanbao was not in front of Long Wenyuan, Zhu Di suddenly felt released in his heart, the fear and pressure in the past were relieved a lot, Long Wenyuan stared at Ma Sanbao non-stop, the child in front of him must have been surprised by Long Wenyuan's strength in his heart, but he still kept himself calm, Long Wenyuan never thought that Ma Sanbao was just a child, and he had such courage.
"Mr. Long, I'm not very old, I may be out of breath under such a lot of pressure, why don't you find a few helpers to investigate with me, can I really have magical powers?" Ma Sanbao is very helpless, exploring the property of corrupt officials and corrupt officials is different from investigating on the battlefield, this is to deal with corrupt officials at close range, if you observe the battlefield, he is also expected to have a telescope and other artifacts, close range, he does not have a bugging, this no one cooperates, it is difficult for him to obtain evidence of corruption by corrupt officials, after all, not all corrupt officials are like the former Beiping prefect and they have a deal, and they cannot do anything on the silver in the hands of other corrupt officials, for a while, this has become the biggest problem.
"That's right, you're just a child, I'm really a little too embarrassed for you, this time the task is really difficult, but you can rest assured, I won't embarrass you, by the way, your anti-corruption actions can't be recorded in the newspaper, if you let the officialdom in Beiping know, it is estimated that most of them will run away, I can help you, you can only put your own people in it, whether you can unearth the secret, it depends on your own ability." Long Wenyuan said that every person in the officialdom who wants to leave his job needs to be approved by Long Wenyuan, if the former prefect of Beiping may let these people slip away, but Long Wenyuan is different, he is an official specially appointed by the imperial court, and he will not let corrupt officials leave Beiping with their stolen money.
For a time, the entire officialdom of Beiping will face a bloody storm, under the arrangement of Long Wenyuan, Ma Sanbao has a few more assistants, but there is no way for His Royal Highness Zhu Di to participate in this matter, the previous period of obtaining the title deed, Zhu Di promised these officials not to interfere in any affairs of Beiping, unless all the corrupt officials who greeted Zhu Di at the beginning were brought to justice to Ma Sanbao, otherwise in terms of reason and public opinion, Zhu Di is a very unfavorable factor, with the newspaper, Zhu Di has a more thorough understanding of public opinion and public sentiment, He didn't want to be involved in this treacherous turmoil.
