After a few years of not listening, the prince still has the same talent for sophistry.

It's just that compared to before, it's more comfortable now.

And now the consideration is more practical, presumably in the prince's heart, how to deal with Zhejiang eucalyptus is very important.

But what happened in Zhejiang, Liu Daxia didn't know.

The prince felt that he couldn't understand his words, and Liu Daxia still felt that the prince avoided the important and light.

He argued: "His Royal Highness is the crown prince, and the elected officials naturally have no right to intervene. But the internal officials supervise the place, most of them are greedy for ink, and the bribes are endless, and the ministers have nothing else to think about, I hope that His Royal Highness will know this situation in detail, if he can control the internal officials and reduce the number of posts, the people in the world will be grateful for the prince's sanctity."

"As for whether it is official wealth or public wealth, there is no difference. Don't you know that the wealth of the officials is taken from the people? And because of the establishment of internal officials in Zhejiang, it is even more so to ask for the people, and the reason is extremely simple, so why should Your Highness argue with the ministers?"

What is this called, as if all the mistakes were due to the fact that he sent a eunuch.

Zhu Houzhao felt a little angry, "Liu Shangshu, my officials in the Ming Dynasty are greedy for ink, is it because the palace sent a eunuch in Zhejiang? Without Wei Bin, the officials in Zhejiang would not have asked for the people, would they? You turn these big and small problems into a problem of sending internal officials, and then bring them to the palace and say that this person is sent by the palace. If that's the case, then well, you don't have an internal officer in the military department, right?"

"Let's thoroughly investigate the military department today, and all officials will not fall from top to bottom! This palace wants to see if there is any greed for ink in a place where there are no internal officials! If it really doesn't, the official of the East Palace will apologize to you, if there is, what do you Liu Daxia say?!"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, this idea was not good, so he gently persuaded him: "Prince, governing the country is not a bet, you dissipate your anger."

Zhu Houzhao wanted to roll his eyes, a good old man like you, the minister didn't do whatever he wanted.

To be honest, the territory of the Ming Dynasty at this time was not as large as that of the Republic.

How can he have the leisure time to be a good person, he wants to be a saint.

"Father! An overall investigation of whether the officials of the various ministries have taken bribes is, of course, also governing the country, and the ministers know it in their hearts. Besides, there is no reason why the officers of the military department can't be checked, right?"

The reason why they have some objections is that these 'locals' know about the corruption of officials.

Zhu Houzhao is not a professor of history, and he doesn't understand why he has to say that many eunuchs have been sent to various places when people's wealth is looted, yes, this is indeed one of the reasons, but it is not the root cause, civil officials are also greedy!

Can you not follow the line of eunuch corruption and cut it to the emperor's head, saying that it is the emperor's fault.

In fact, in Zhu Houzhao's eyes, there is no difference between internal officials and foreign officials at all, they are all officials of the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor was persuaded by the crown prince to be neither light nor heavy, and he couldn't get up a little hard.

Turning to look at Liu Daxia again, Liu Shangshu's lips trembled at this time, obviously being framed.

Zhu Houzhao sneered, "Liu Shangshu, shouldn't you be brewing resignation in your heart? What's wrong? Don't have confidence in the military department? Do you want to go back and find it? Maybe there is a eunuch hidden in the yamen, so that's good, it's the palace's fault again."

….

Liu Daxia was so sarcastic that his old face turned red,

How dare he make such a bet with the prince, what is left of him after this bet? It's okay if you don't gamble, because colleagues understand each other, and the old Zhu family has so little money, if you don't want to make a little money, you will starve to death a long time ago.

In fact, Liu Daxia was indeed a person who always wanted to resign, but when he told the prince, he was going to resign at this time, and his weakness was too obvious.

"His Royal Highness is sharp in his words, and he insists on not listening to the minister's sincere advice, which really makes the minister extremely distressed. The so-called way of raising a monarch should be prepared, and it should be used to send ministers and workers to make all the words. The ministers did their best, and Jundaus said. The ministers are in the position of the secretary of the military department, and they have something to say."

"Your Highness, the minister dared to ask, did His Highness detain the performance of Xu Ruoqin, the prefect of Huzhou?"

As soon as he said this, the three ministers all lamented a little.

Liu Daxia: This is for

Morality, desperate......

As a secretary of the military department, how can you say such things, how can you know about the performance of other officials.

Emperor Hongzhi was also a little surprised, when did this happen?

But I saw the prince take it out of his cuff and throw it directly in front of him, "You mean this?"

Liu Daxia picked it up and brushed off the dust that had been picked up when it landed,

"I didn't expect His Highness to carry it with him all the time." Liu Daxia picked it up, picked one of the sentences and read it on the spot, "Pet and carry a high position, the family is warm and the food is generous, because of the wealth and wealth, in order to compete with the people for the next advantage, the people's security can be as good." This is Dong Zhongshu's famous sentence, and His Highness should have read it as well."

Liu Daxia touched his head to the ground and sobbed, "Your Highness, you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and there has never been a shortage of money in the palace. But I still have many people in the Ming Dynasty, they are not clothed, they have no food, they have no fixed residence, and they are all the people of His Highness! I beg your Highness, to return it to the benefit of the people!"

These words are said with real emotion.

For a while, Zhu Houzhao couldn't tell the difference, whether he could really act like this, or if he was stupid at reading, he believed it.

Liu Daxia is Emperor Hongzhi's favorite minister, and his emotions make Hongzhi a little worried.

Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything, he took out another thing from his arms and handed it to Liu Daxia's hand, "Liu Shangshu, read it out."

Liu Daxia looked up at the prince, a little dazed.

"Read it out! Let my father and everyone here hear it!" Zhu Houzhao raised his voice and ordered.

"Minister...... Liu Daxia is also a genius boy from Jinshi, and he can't say ten lines at a glance, but he can still do it when he sees the basic content in his heart, so when he reads the first word, his hands begin to tremble,

"Chenzhejiang...... Zhejiang Governor Wang Hua played a bloody ...... Zichen went to Zhejiang, by the order of His Royal Highness to investigate the original town guard eunuch Wei Bin greedy for ink, after investigation from the 12th to 17th years of Hongzhi, Wei Bin before and after the total amount of silver more than 1.5 million taels, now only more than 1.26 million taels remaining. The ministers obeyed the will of His Royal Highness and were greedy for ink, just to blend into the officialdom of Zhejiang, and to be false and wrong. Today, we hereby present the eucalyptus file of Li Yancai, the political envoy of Zhejiang, and the inspection envoy Dang Shanji, as well as the list of the officials in Zhejiang who have shared the spoils."

"Li and the party made a plan, and only 300,000 taels of silver were written in the volume, and the remaining 500,000 taels were swallowed alive by a group of officials, among which Li and the party were the main conspirators, each embezzling 100,000 yuan of silver, and sharing it with the government in the government and the deputy envoy according to the size ......of the official position."

….

At this point, he suddenly stopped.

Zhu Houzhao didn't allow it, "Don't you know how to read?"

Everyone's minds were attracted by this letter, and Liu Daxia had to read it again, "...... In addition, the prefect of Hangzhou, Qiu Zongxia, divided 30,000 yuan of silver, and Xu Ruoqin, the prefect of Huzhou, shared 30,000 yuan of silver, and the prefects of Taizhou, Shaoxing, and Jiaxing all took the initiative to help...... Your Highness, "

He looked up, a little unable to read anymore.

"Elder Xie Ge. Your voice is loud, and you keep reading." Zhu Houzhao didn't bother to pay attention to him.

Xie Qian took it in his hand, full of energy, which was much more comfortable than Liu Mansion reading it while crying.

"The prefects of Taizhou, Shaoxing, and Jiaxing all took the initiative to help, and Li and Dang listed them as party henchmen, each with 10,000 pieces of silver, and there was also a river yamen, and the weaving yamen shared their profits. In addition, there were 180,000 taels of silver left, and this silver was not touched. The minister was puzzled, and then asked and then knew that this was a necessary gift for entering Beijing. Your Highness, all the ministers said that the suffering of the people's livelihood is unspeakable, and the ministers think that it is the first great harm to the people's livelihood, and the officials will also govern!"

"Give me back the letter." The prince went to ask for it, and then looked back at Liu Daxia, "Da Sima, now look at this Xu Ruoqin's writing, the palace detains his music, is he wronged or not?" You are making such a drama in this Qianqing Palace today, is this palace wronged or not? and that Li Yancai, the same one you recommended. These people who sell their fame and reputation keep saying that the palace is competing with the people for profit, what are these things they do?!"

Bang!

There was a crisp sound suddenly in the quiet warm pavilion, which startled everyone, and after looking closely, they found that it was Emperor Hongzhi who suddenly grabbed something and threw it on the ground!

"Your Majesty is angry!"

All the officials, eunuchs, and palace maids of the Qianqing Palace knelt down!
