Natsuhara Ji came to the palace with uneasiness in his heart.

To say that you are not afraid is false.

Don't look at him as he is very funny on weekdays, and he has a good relationship with the three bosses.

But in a high position, he understands that sometimes relationships don't mean everything.

Back then, Zhu Yuanzhang still called Lan Yu a brother and a brother, and he also called Li Shanchang and others Mr.

When the knife was slashed, it was not as ruthless as it was.

The people of the old Zhu family, you don't violate their bottom-line interests, and you are very talkative.

Once their bottom line and interests are violated, they will turn their faces faster than anyone else.

The matter of being able to dispatch the commander of the Jinyi Guard is definitely not small.

Maybe it's another earth-shattering eucalyptus.

And he was called to the palace and was not arrested red-handed.

Then it only shows that he is not the mastermind recognized by the royal family, but has a certain involvement with him.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I, Xia Yuanji, have been honest and honest all my life, and I have worked hard for the country and the people, but I didn't expect that there would be such a day."

"Alas, the time is also fate!"

"That's it, whether I live or die depends on how much role I have for the royal family."

The people in the palace seem to have been instructed a long time ago.

As soon as Xia Yuanji arrived, he didn't even report it, and directly brought him into the study.

As soon as he entered the study, Xia Yuanji knelt on the ground without saying a word.

"Death to the minister!"

Zhu Fatpang, who was thinking about where to transfer people to fill the vacancy, looked down at Xia Yuanji, who touched the ground with his head, sighed, and shook his head.

raised his hand and waved, and the personal little eunuch next to him sent the confession to Xia Yuanji.

"Let's take a look! After reading it, let's talk about how to deal with your business. ”

Xia Yuanji took the confession with both hands, and when he saw the bloody handprint on it, his heart was cold.

When I saw the above content, my eyes went black directly.

Slut damn it.

He didn't expect that he had been law-abiding all his life, but he was planted on his concubine.

Xia Yuanji did not defend himself, nor did he cry out for injustice. silently took off his black gauze hat and knelt on the ground waiting for Zhu Fatpang to judge.

Looking at Xia Yuanji's actions, Zhu Chubby nodded secretly.

Sure enough, as his son said, this person is law-abiding, loyal and patriotic, and can be reused.

A few days ago, I explained it to him in a letter.

Natsuhara will definitely not be involved, but he will definitely be implicated.

It is advisable to punish a small amount, and there is no need to make a big move.

Thinking of the explanation in his son's letter, Zhu Chupang got up and walked down and put the black gauze hat on Xia Yuanji's head.

"The emperor was very angry, thinking that this was your serious dereliction of duty, and he wanted to arrest you into Jinyiwei."

"Later, it was my son who interceded with you and was spared the pain of prison!"

Xia Yuanji didn't say anything when he heard this, and kowtowed to the northeast.

"But this matter is your dereliction of duty after all, and it is difficult to convince the public without punishment."

"I am willing to receive all punishments!"

Zhu Chupang nodded.

"I mean, you will be dismissed from the position of the head of the household department, but you can't find anyone for a while, so you will temporarily lead the household department, and other things will be talked about later."

After saying the punishment, Zhu Chupang patted Xia Yuanji's shoulder.

"Let's go out, get twenty court staffs, and then go back to deal with family affairs, rest at home today, and go to the household department tomorrow!"

"Thank you, Your Royal Highness, Your Royal Highness, Your Highness the Prince!"

Xia Yuanji kowtowed again, stood up with Zhu Panpang's support, glanced at Zhu Panpang gratefully, turned around and went out to receive the punishment.

The royal family has shown great affection to him this time, and I am afraid that he Xia Yuanji will not be able to repay it in this life.

If this matter is placed in the Hongwu Dynasty, not to mention the seizure of the house and beheading, it will be difficult for him to escape prison.

Gritting his teeth and taking 20 boards, Xia Yuanji ignored the pain in his buttocks, and limped home under the curious eyes of the palace people.

As soon as he entered the house, regardless of the stunned subordinates, Xia Yuanji rushed directly into the living room and picked up the sword enshrined on the eucalyptus, when he went out with the old man, the old man gave him.

The sword had followed him for years, and it had not been stained with a single blood.

"Zeng!"

The sword is unsheathed, and the cold light is cold.

Xia Yuanji held a sword in one hand and a scabbard in the other, and limped towards the backyard.

"My God, what's wrong with you."

His wife, who received the news, bumped into the murderous Xia Yuanji as soon as she came out of the backyard.

"Get out of the way!"

Pushing away the wife who was holding him, Xia Yuanji rushed to a small courtyard with evil in his eyes.

kicked open the courtyard door, and Xia Yuanji roared angrily.

"Slut, get out of here!"

followed the lady who got up, looking at the murderous appearance of his master, he was distressed and scared in his heart.

"Master, what the hell is going on, how did Cui'er provoke you."

Xia Yuanji, the little concubine, is his wife's personal maid.

Later, when she served properly and had a child, Xia Yuanji gave her a name.

Maybe it's because of the personal maid, after this little concubine took the throne, except for Xia Yuanji who spent the night with her.

Every morning, I still get up early to serve his wife, and the sisterhood between the two has always been very good.

Now seeing the murderous appearance of his own master lifting a sword, his wife thought that his master was angry outside, and came back to take the murderous anger of his family, so he thought about persuading him and begged for mercy for a few people who posted it.

"You know the shit, this slut almost killed our whole family."

Xia Yuanji turned around and cursed, pushed everyone out, and closed the courtyard door.

Then he strode into the house with his sword in hand.

With such a big movement outside, the concubine naturally knew.

She originally planned to go out, but she could see her master from the crack in the door, carrying a sword and looking murderous, and then thinking of the gift she received for her father some time ago, she was panicked.

In fear, he hid directly under the table, holding the table legs and trembling.

"Peng!"

The door was slammed open, and Xia Yuanji's eyes were red and he rushed in, swinging his sword and slashing at the concubine under the table.

"Slut, die!"

After a while, a scream sounded in the courtyard, and the people outside the door were terrified.

After about a quarter of an hour, the closed courtyard door was opened.

Xia Yuanji was covered in blood, carrying a blood-stained sword, and walked out.

"Throw that slut into a mass grave for me, and send me all the valuable things in her house to the household department."

After speaking, Xia Yuanji ignored the stunned people, returned to his room, changed his clothes and went to work in the household department.

It is impossible to rest anymore.

Now that the household department is almost empty, I can't go over, who will handle so many things?

Now when the fighting in the north is raging, if you delay for a while, you don't know how many lives will be lost because of this.

When Zhu Fatpang heard that Xia Yuanji didn't even rest, he went back to work directly.

I couldn't help but sigh.

"After the Ming Dynasty, every household is still in the book, if it is like this, how good it would be!"

At the end of Yongle 15 years.

On the occasion of this new year, an earth-shattering eucalyptus stunned everyone.

Withheld public funds for the construction of the Forbidden City in Beiping, and embezzled items brought back from overseas by the imperial court.

More than 500 officials have been arrested for big and small things.

Among them, the largest official positions are the two attendants of the household department, and the youngest is just an ordinary transportation official.

According to the imperial court, it was announced to the public.

The amount of money suspected this time is as high as 1.5 million taels of silver.

When the old man, who was fighting with the Warats in the north, received the final report, he was angry and threw a lot of things. shouted and led the change into a new war horse, and the commander of the 3,000 battalions who was in full swing with the Warat people, Zhu Gaoxu, the commander of the Han Dynasty, beat him up.

Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han: ......

Then the old man ordered.

The first offender was stripped of the skin and filled with grass, and all the family property was confiscated, and the main male members of his family were executed, and the female rolls were enslaved in the Jiaofang Division, and the rest were exiled to the slave Gandu Division and sent to the grandson as cannon fodder.

The rest are lighter.

The offender was sentenced to Ling Chi, all family property was confiscated, the female rolls were confiscated into the teaching department, and the men, regardless of age, were exiled to the slaves in the city.

Later, it was counted by the imperial court.

More than 120 people were skinned and grassed, and the rest were all executed by Ling Chi.

The main men who were beheaded were as high as nearly 1,000.

More than 3,000 women were enslaved in the Jiaofang Division, and nearly 5,000 were exiled to the Nuer Gandu Division.

Although this purge did not completely clean up the imperial court, it also cleaned up most of the moths and deterred others.

Now all the officials are conscientious and conscientious, for fear that they will be caught by the tail of the Jinyi guard if they are not careful.

The lively New Year was made by a bloody eucalyptus without any lively atmosphere at all.

The sixth day of February in the 16th year of Yongle.

After two months of arduous trekking, Zhu Zhangui finally led his troops to the Bear Lake Defense Line.

"Whew!"

A puff of white mist erupted from his mouth, Zhu Zhangui took off the sunglasses he wore on his face, wiped his frozen face, wiped the hoarfrost on his eyebrows and beard, and took out his binoculars to observe the surrounding situation.

At this time in the south, the ice and snow have begun to melt, but in the cold northeast, the icy winter has just reached its peak.

Exhale here, and as soon as the saliva leaves the mouth, it freezes into ice beads and falls to the ground.

When you go to the toilet, you have to take a stick and knock it while it is convenient.

The small ones are a little better, and the uncomfortable ones are the big ones.

This made Zhu Zhangui can't help but think of a cross talk between Teacher Guo and Teacher Yu.

In the Northeast season of this era, as the two teachers said, it is not very useful to bring paper, and it is most convenient to use a stick.

"Have you found out what's going on in Arutai?"

After observing the environment, and seeing that there was a white expanse all around, and he couldn't see anything, Zhu Zhangui took back his binoculars and put his sunglasses on his eyes again.

Wearing sunglasses isn't to pretend to be cool, but to prevent snow blindness.

Not only Zhu Zhangui, but his guards included all the soldiers, each of whom had a sunglasses.

Hu Yu, who looked cool with a toad mirror, shook his head.

"I've sent out three waves of people, and there has been no reply until now, but I've come back in the past two days."

"When they left, I told them that no matter how far they probe, they must come back in three days to report."

Zhu Zhangui nodded.

"Tell me to go down and camp on the spot, and tell those craftsmen to build a defensive camp according to the drawings I gave them."

"The cold weather made everyone freeze, the activities were warmer, and told everyone to work in the future, and there was meat for three meals a day."

"There is also a notice to the eastern side, so that they can hurry over and assemble, and if they grind again, they will press it, and delay the military aircraft."

"Nu'er Gandusi's gang of Jingnan also let them bring it over, and the opportunity for these sinners to atone for their sins has come!"
