"I say to you today that if any man commits adultery, if any man does not report to the king, and has a different heart, and is unkind to the people, I will deal with him according to the law, and I will punish him severely, and I will not spare it.

How to deal with corrupt officials during the Hongwu years, I still follow it here, and I remember it well. ”

The Beiping military generals, who were accustomed to Zhu Di's speech, had no opinions, but the officials of Ying Tian listened to the ears and suffered from it.

They really want to ask Zhu Di, you have become the emperor, why are you still in this local tone, one by one, the emperor wants to call me, and you really learn from your Lao Tzu to call us.

However, Zhu Di is obviously not the same way as his nephew Zhu Yunwen, there are not too many etiquette things for civil officials, he doesn't like to talk in crepe, and he is verbose and has nothing to do.

Standing on the Fengtian Palace, no official has a bag in his head, how can the Son of Heaven adapt to them, they have to adapt to the Son of Heaven speaking.

Zhu Di learned that Zhu Yunwen had reduced the taxes in Jiangnan very low, and the first political matter he opened his mouth was to restore the tax system during the Hongwu period.

"Suzhou Mansion, Huzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion...... Abolish the Jianwen tax system and collect taxes in accordance with the Hongwu tax system, and exempt all localities that have suffered serious military disasters, droughts, and floods from paying taxes this year.

If there is a good harvest year, the farmers with poor land are exempt from taxes, and the local government must open up the grain, do not provide disaster relief, do not report disasters, and those who embezzle and accept bribes under the pretext of military and civilian affairs will be guilty of serious crimes!

Beijing officials have more than six products, and all prefectures and counties have recommended talents, and they will be reused after verification. ”

The officials did not expect that on the first day of Yongle's ascension to the throne, he talked about rectifying the rule of officials, paying taxes and civil affairs.

The hundred officials had the feeling of returning to the Hongwu Dynasty, and the corrupt officials in the court felt that their necks were cold and swishing.

Abolish Zhu Yunwen's old policy, seal the old and new officials equally, and severely punish corruption.

The next step is to punish Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's gang.

When the dynasty was dispersed, colleagues who knew and didn't know each other came to greet each other with a smile, and the relationship seemed to be very close.

I don't know that I thought that Cheng Yuan and Ying Tianfu were good friends, but in fact, Cheng Yuan had only known them for less than a morning.

The effect is not bad.

In fact, as long as he is not blatantly provocative to embarrass himself, or is not jealous, Cheng Yuan is still happy to make friends.

Be flexible and show kindness, most people are willing to get to know more friends in officialdom.

Because in this way, a guy who has just been crowned the Duke of the Kingdom will be invisibly transformed into in the eyes of everyone: This Zhenguo Gong is our friend, come and see, how high-end and high-grade.

Everyone walked on the palace road, chatting all the way, and a civil official suddenly asked: "Zhenguo Gong is really so promising at a young age, let this official know how stupid and boring it was to use age to get promoted in the past." ”

The officials exuded goodwill.

Yang Xianzhi also walked up and saluted Cheng Yuan respectfully: "Master." ”

Cheng Yuan shrugged: "You have nothing to do with Fang Xiaoru, no one will say that you are a traitor now." ”

Then Ji Gang hurried over and motioned for Cheng Yuan to stay.

"Zhen Guogong, Your Majesty is invited."

Are you going to work...... Cheng Yuan motioned to Yang Xianzhi to arrange for Liu Dazhui to be optimistic about someone, and he left with Ji Gang.

Zhu Di, who was meticulously dressed, was wearing a black gauze wing crown at the moment, and was sitting in the side hall in a red dragon robe.

The imperial study was burned, the Qianqing Palace had not been cleaned up, and Zhu Di had nowhere to go, so he simply stayed in the side hall of the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Di pointed to the chair next to him: "There are a few things. ”

"Ji Gang, you go and tell the twelfth brother and let him arrange for the soldiers and horses to escort the queen and the crown prince and them to Yingtian by water with Master Daoyan."

Ji Gang nodded, and then left.

Waiting for no one in the hall, Zhu Di said: "The mansion where I used to live has a dark room, enter from the study, this is the key, lock the eldest nephew in, and you personally deliver food to him every day, and you can't let others know about it." ”

"Yes." Cheng Yuan understood that Zhu Di not only returned the people from the Axe Gang to him, but also gave some more guards, some of which were to guard Zhu Yunwen.

"Also, follow me to the Criminal Department, and I will personally watch a few traitors be executed." Zhu Di threw Song Shu aside and motioned for Cheng Yuan to go with him.

The fall of Jianwen will inevitably be accompanied by officials loyal to him to deal with it, just like pulling out the mud from the belt.

In the past few days, Ji Gang has been ordered by Zhu Di to select many new brocade guards.

Zhu Di understands very well that there are many people in the world who want to kill themselves, especially in the eyes of others, they are traitors.

On the way to the Criminal Department, Zhu Di said: "Kill them, you don't have to do it, assist me with clean hands, so as not to fall into the mouth, I can't change this traitor, you are not."

There are some rules of the literati that you don't understand, and I will remind you. Speaking of which, Zhu Di gave a look that you know.

"Okay." Cheng Yuan nodded.

When everyone arrived at the Criminal Department, it was already dark, and the guards set up a table of wine and food for Cheng Yuan and Zhu Di in the Criminal Department, and interrogated while eating.

The jailer of the Criminal Department bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are here." ”

"Hmm!"

Zhu Di snorted from his nose and glanced at Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng, knowing that their eyes were going to eat people without looking.

Cheng Yuan didn't speak, this Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai wanted to run after breaking the city, and they were caught in the criminal department, Fang Xiaoru had a little backbone and didn't run.

"Yan thief, you don't have to die well." Huang Zicheng's hair was scattered, and he said: "God has no eyes, you traitor is not in the right position!" ”

Zhu Di said: "If it weren't for a few of you traitors bewitching your eldest nephew, how could he cut Tibet, the vassal king was brutalized by you, and we had to be cut down if we didn't do anything, why?"

Just by virtue of your corrupt words, the Xiangwang Mansion was forced to ...... Even the children of King Zhou are not spared, they are only a few years old, how can they rebel, you tell me how they rebel! ”

Zhu Di was furious.

Huang Zicheng scolded: "Yan thief, there will always be someone in the world who will take your dog's life." ”

Qi Tai also said: "Bah, dog thief, if you don't get the right position, everyone will punish you." ”

Cheng Yuan said: "Pedantic, what if you don't get the right position?" The people of the world don't care, whoever treats them well is the emperor and orthodox. ”

When Huang Zicheng saw Cheng Yuan for the first time, he immediately understood: "You are a thief who conspired against the Ming Dynasty with Yan thieves." ”

Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng also ignored the matter of the literati Sven, and spat at Cheng Yuan: "In the future, you will not die well, and your wife and children will follow you and die a good death." ”

Zhu Di overturned the table, scattered the wine and food on the ground, and shouted: "Immediately execute Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng and raze the three clans!" ”

Zhu Di ordered, the jailer acted immediately, was scolded by Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai, and was not in the mood to do anything else, and all of them were executed.

Zhuo Jing once suggested that Zhu Yunwen exile Zhu Di to Nanchang, and Zhuo Jing was punished by the five clans.

Lian Zining, Chen Di, Bang Zhao, Jing Qing and others were collectively executed.

Soon, Ji Gang also brought people to the Criminal Department.

"Your Majesty, Huang Zicheng's son Huang Gui changed his name to Tian Liwei, and his household registration was changed to Kunshan County, Suzhou Prefecture, and his identity was a Taoist priest.

The second son, Huang Yu, changed his name to Tian Yanxiu, and his identity was Li Zheng in a rural village in Kunshan County. The third son Huang Run changed his name to Tian Yanwen, and the fourth son Huang Ze also changed his name and surname, and they have all been arrested. ”

Ji Gang said to Cheng Yuan: "Zhen Guogong, you are really like a god, Huang Zicheng actually let his son run away in a different way,"

Cheng Yuan did not speak.

He also wants to pretend that he doesn't know history and let Huang Zicheng's son go, but if he dares to show mercy today, it will be himself and Zhu Di who may die tomorrow.

Zhu Di has just ascended the throne, and there are many people in the world who want his life, so he has to be careful.

"Cheng Yuan, how about picking a few of these traitorous courtiers and daughters for you to be maids?" Zhu Di quipped.

"I don't want them."

Cheng Yuan shook his head, he looked at Zhu Di and said: "There are maids everywhere, if you give me Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng's family maids, although I can relieve my hatred, but put the people who have enemies by my side, this is a big taboo." ”

"That's right." Zhu Di appreciated, and then ordered: "The wives and daughters of Qi Tai, Huang Zicheng, Fang Xiaoru and others will be appointed as the teachers of the workshop." ”
