Chapter 473: The Great Earthquake in Officialdom
Facing Zhu Houzhao's question, the ministers trembled in their hearts, but they didn't dare to refuse: "The ministers heard clearly!" ”
The ministers, who are usually full of anger when they speak, are weak at this time.
"Didn't you eat, louder, I can't hear you."
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and shouted again.
"The ministers heard me clearly."
The sound was like thunder, shaking the sky, and the ministers were already terrified to the extreme at this time.
From the elders of the cabinet to the ordinary officials, their hearts were shaking violently, for fear that the emperor's anger would burn on them.
No one wants to be sent to mine!
The anger on his face slowed slightly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were as sharp as a blade, and his murderous intent was almost uncontrollable:
"Now that you've heard it clearly, can you tell me what the difference is between taking away the pension of a soldier who died in battle and eating a dead soldier."
"Soldiers died fighting for the country, but after death, their wives and children could not even get any protection, I, and you Gonggong princes, what kind of face do you have to face the millions of soldiers who fought for the country and never regretted their deaths?"
The ministers bowed their heads, silent, ashamed!
"Let's talk about it, how should this matter be handled?"
Zhu Houzhao said in an indifferent tone, asking the ministers to give him a satisfactory explanation, otherwise...... He wouldn't mind another blood exchange.
He knew that taking away the pensions of soldiers killed in the war was by no means only a problem with the household department, but also someone from other ministries and institutes.
Interests are moving, people's greed is endless, once greedy, there is nothing that you dare not do.
He will never allow another civilian-bureaucratic clique to rise after he has eliminated the civilian clique whose interests are paramount, and now the officials under his command have some signs of a civilian-bureaucratic clique, and such unhealthy tendencies must be nipped in the bud.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that this matter should be handled strictly, and all those involved in the eucalyptus will be severely punished, and the hearts of the soldiers must not be chilled."
Shoufu Yang Yiqing spoke first.
"Embezzling the pensions of the dead in the war, such acts are no different from livestock, if they are not severely punished, what will be the face of the court."
"Such a loss of conscience must be severely punished......
Wang Wei, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, Wang Qiong, Hong Zhong and other ministers spoke out one after another.
However, one by one they talked about severe punishment, but they didn't say what kind of punishment method they were.
Literati, pay attention to Sven, it's not easy to say too cruel words.
"How should I punish him?"
Zhu Houzhao looked at Yang Yiqing and asked the cabinet chief assistant to set an example.
"Alas......"
With a long sigh in his heart, Yang Yiqing understood that he couldn't hide from it today no matter what, the emperor needed an explanation, and the military department also needed an explanation, and under the pressure of both parties, he couldn't express his position if he wanted to.
"Taking away the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war is tantamount to digging the foundation of our dynasty, and in terms of human morality, it is unconscionable and intolerable; In terms of the laws of the imperial court, he seriously violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, and the crime deserved death. ”
"The minister thinks that this matter should be dealt with with with the power of thunder, and the offenders, whether they are the main offenders or accomplices, once they are caught, all of them will be assigned to the Dark Feather Star for mining."
"They embezzled the pensions of the war dead, and then compensated the families of the war dead with the wealth they had obtained from the sale of the ore they excavated."
In order to satisfy both the emperor and the military department, Yang Yiqing can be regarded as fighting, and the ruthlessness of the proposed treatment plan coincides with Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.
If you commit a crime and die, it will be too cheap for those people, so that their life is worse than death, which is in line with Zhu Houzhao's consistent style of acting.
"Yang Shoufu's proposed handling method, the secretary of state can have objections."
Zhu Houzhao asked.
He is satisfied with Yang Yiqing's handling of the situation, and it depends on whether the military department is satisfied.
The generals of the military department were naturally satisfied, after all, all they wanted was justice.
"The ministers think that the proposal of Lord Shoufu is very reasonable."
Zhu Houzhao sat back on the dragon chair and said murderously: "Take away the pension of the soldiers who died in battle, such a person who has lost his conscience is not enough to die ten thousand times." ”
"I will let Jinyiwei start to investigate this matter, and if I find one to catch one, and find two to grab a pair, as long as someone dares to stretch out his hand, he will not be spared."
"The prisoners who are caught will be assigned the Dark Feather Star and the Flame Star, and they will not be allowed to return for life, and they will not be pardoned in case of forgiveness."
The ministers' bodies shook subconsciously, and the brocade guards stepped in, and the meaning of the matter was different.
Officialdom is about to have a big earthquake.
This time, it is not known how many officials will suffer.
Subconsciously, they are all secretly thinking about whether there is anything unclean about themselves, if there is, hurry up and take time to wipe their butts clean, no one wants to understand the emperor's cruel methods.
Sitting on the dragon chair, taking in the reactions of the ministers, Zhu Houzhao said coldly:
"First there were Shi Xingfeng's gossip to confuse the public, and then there were household officials who embezzled the soldiers' pensions, and I have been a little negligent in the management of the government over the years, which has led to some cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods beginning to emerge."

"Do you think that if I neglect the management of the government, you will be able to act unscrupulously and arbitrarily?"
"Or do you want to learn from the former civilian-bureaucratic group, huddle together for warmth, and flatter the superiors and bully the subordinates?"
As soon as they heard that the emperor compared them to the former civil official group, the ministers were so frightened that their faces were bloodless, how could they dare to learn from the civil official group!
In the Taiwu Dynasty, who doesn't know that the emperor hates the civil official group the most, and learning from the civil official group is not much different from looking for death.
They still have a great future, and they don't want to be suppressed by the emperor to death, let alone be sent to mine.
"Don't dare!"
The ministers were eager to swear on the spot, and dug out their hearts and livers to take care of Zhu Hou.
Since embarking on the path of cultivation, Zhu Houzhao has been in retreat many times, causing them to begin to indulge in their actions, but they really don't have the courage to learn from the civil official group and intend to be above the imperial power.
They are all smart people, and they judge the situation very accurately, but now that the times have changed, force is supreme, even if they dare to learn from the civil official group, the emperor can suppress them with a snap of his fingers.
"Don't dare?"
Zhu Houzhao sneered, and the imperial dragon's qi exploded, majestic momentum, deterring the ministers:
"I don't care if you dare or not, I just want to tell you one thing, in this dynasty, I am the sky, before you want to wrestle with me, think about how many heads you have."
Directly said the words, mastered the absolute power, and occupied the absolute advantage, unless the time is reversed, otherwise the ministers can only be at his mercy.
The ministers trembled under the pressure of Zhu Houzhao, and at this time they deeply understood why the emperor was obsessed with cultivation.
As ministers of the imperial court, the ministers are not short of resources, and their cultivation has generally set foot in the realm of divine change, but in front of Zhu Houzhao, their little ability, whether they have it or not, Zhu Houzhao can easily pinch them to death at any time.
In the transcendent world, fist is power!
The bigger the fist, the more power!
Zhu Hou looked at the ministers who were messy and frightened into a cold sweat, knowing that the deterrent effect had been exerted, and if he was too late, he dispersed the imperial dragon aura around him and put away his majestic majesty.
"Retreat."
snorted coldly, announced his retreat, and walked away.
Zhu Qiyuan followed, and their father and son still had something to talk about.
