"You want me to go against the people of the world, I often teach you that water can carry a boat and capsize a boat, and only what the people want can it be passed on forever."

Zhu Di's chest rose and fell violently, and he roared hysterically.

"The son knows his mistake."

Zhu Gaochi wanted to say something more, but was repelled by Yao Guangxiao's eyes, gritted his teeth and squeezed out these words.

"Fifty strokes and a fine of half a year."

Zhu Di sighed.

A flash of resentment flashed in Zhu Gaochi's eyes, he was fined for half a year, and he had hundreds of diners under his door, if he had no source of money, wouldn't he lose his trust.

The two guards dragged Zhu Gaochi down and erected him outside the Taihe Palace.

Suddenly.

Bursts of screams resounded throughout the entire Taihe Palace.

The ministers who were previously above the court and were made difficult by Zhu Gaochi in every possible way are extremely happy in their hearts at this moment.

"From now on, a tobacco department will be set up in the cabinet, and a part of the West Factory and the East Factory will be formed, led by Zhao Si."

"The tobacco department needs to be located in every state capital in the Ming Dynasty, in addition to the daily operation of the tobacco industry, it also assumes the responsibility of supervising hundreds of officials, and has the right to cut first and then play, I don't know if you have any objections?"

After thinking for a while, Zhu Di spoke.

The ministers were stunned, they never thought that the tobacco business would be run by the royal family!

Shen Lian's face was a little ugly, the previous Jinyi Wei was the pinnacle of the power of the Ming Dynasty, and the real one person was above ten thousand people.

Now that he has been involved in such a tobacco department, His Majesty is afraid that he wants to check and balance the power of Jinyiwei.

"The tobacco business is really profitable, and the establishment of a tobacco department in the cabinet should also be, if it is well managed, there will be no shortage of households in the future, congratulations to Your Majesty."

Yao Guangxiao smiled but didn't smile.

"No, the tobacco department belongs to the profit, go over the household department, enter the inner treasury mansion, if the household department needs silver taels, just ask me."

Zhu Di knows that it is not difficult to set up a tobacco department, but it is really tricky for the money to cross the household department.

"Your Majesty, this matter must not be done, since ancient times, there has been no royal business, even if this precedent is set, if the business income directly crosses the household department and enters the Inner Treasury Mansion, I am afraid that it will be criticized by the people."

Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stepped forward and said.

"Presumptuous, Liu Guan, you are so bold, you can't resist the decree?"

Zhao Si stood up at the right time and scolded loudly.

"Chen Hongwu in the eighteenth year and the first, assisting Taizu, Emperor Hui has been His Majesty so far, loyal to the sun and the moon, which round to get you a eunuch to speak!"

Liu Guan snorted coldly, and didn't look at Zhao Si at all.

He is also a loyal customer of cigarettes, and now a drunken shop is out of stock, and on the black market, one cigarette is sold to a sky-high price of hundreds of taels.

Among them, the profit is not terrifying, he and Hubu Shangshu Yu Xin are the same Jinshi, so the gold and platinum naturally have to be in their hands.

Why did you dare to confront Your Majesty when you were the court leader, just because when you were the supervisor of the imperial history, Emperor Taizu gave you a piece of iron coupon to avoid death.

"Since Liu Aiqing is loyal to Emperor Taizu, then he will go on the road with Emperor Taizu, and someone will send Liu Guan to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment, and ask for beheading after the autumn!"

A cold glint flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, he originally wanted this old boy to live longer, but he didn't want to send it by himself.

"Who dares to kill me!"

Liu Guan sneered and took out the iron coupon from his arms that Taizu had given him to avoid death.

Yao Guangxiao shook his head helplessly, His Majesty really moved his murderous intentions, what is the difference between the iron coupon given by the emperor to avoid death and a joke.

"The iron ticket to avoid death can avoid dying once, in this case, I will kill you twice, come on!"

A hint of playfulness flashed in Zhu Di's eyes, as if he had thought of this for a long time.

The ministers below, the corners of their mouths twitched, since the good one has an iron ticket to avoid death, he will kill you twice.

Liu Guan usually uses the iron coupon to avoid death, but he never thought that there would be a day when the boat capsized in the gutter.

"The king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, but the minister is not satisfied, His Majesty is cruel and immoral, beheading loyal ministers, how to make the world surrender!"

Liu Guan was furious, and pointed at Zhu Di's nose and scolded.

"Loyal minister, joke, just this crime of disobedience can be connected to the nine clans, Shen Lian."

Zhu Di looked at Shen Lian.

Shen Lian took out a secret letter and shouted in a deep voice:

"Liu Guan, Hongwu will try to bribe the examiner in the eighteenth year, and get the exam questions to cheat, and he should be punished!"

"In the twenty-first year of Hongwu, during his tenure as the governor of Taigu County, he used his power to make a lot of money, bought private property, brutalized more than 750 people, and embezzled 137,000 taels of money, so he should be punished!"

"In the twenty-fourth year of Hongwu, he bribed Zhan Hui, the secretary of the household department, and was promoted to supervise the imperial history, and he should be punished!"

"In the thirtieth year of Hongwu, he moved to the prefect of Jiaxing, embezzled 200,000 yuan of disaster relief silver from the Mo court, and his tenure was a waste of people's lives, and there were 147 unjust and wrongful cases, a total of 147 cases, and he should be punished!"

"In the first year of Yongle, he entered Yingtian, took office as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and took advantage of his authority to buy more than 70 private houses in Yingtian, and there were countless private properties, when the plant!"

……

Shen Lian thought about it for half an hour, and every piece of evidence was enough to connect the nine clans.

All the adults were shocked by a layer of cold sweat on their backs.

First, I never thought that the book of the Ministry of Rites, which is usually inconspicuous, is secretly such a huge greed.

What's even more terrifying is that since the eighteenth year of Hongwu, all the things committed, no matter how big or small, have been recorded.

Now, even if Emperor Taizu crawls out of the coffin, he can't save Liu Guan.

The courtiers were able to climb to the current position, and no one had any means, and they were all full of excitement.

Being able to investigate Liu Guan's past, wouldn't they be the same in front of His Majesty?!

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Yao Guangxiao's forehead, and it seemed that he still underestimated His Majesty, and he was extremely frightened when he thought about it.

"Why don't you speak one by one, because you are afraid, who dares to pat your shoulder and say, I have no corruption and bribery, no rash of human life, I Zhang Fu has been honest all my life, and today I finally rely on the emperor's prestige, and I have a bad mouth!"

"The world is a good reincarnation, it's not that the time has not come, one day, it will be your turn!"

Zhang Fu of Zhuguo looked up to the sky and smiled, the previous disaster in Shandong, the faces of these courtiers, he had seen enough.

"Enough, I originally thought that you had no merit and hard work, and I wanted to keep you until the autumn, but I never thought that you would have to gain an inch."

"Listen to the order, Liu Guan, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is an official who is not benevolent, and the crime is extremely evil, it is really the anger of people and gods, and the nine clans are given to Zhulian, and the family will be raided on the same day, and the intercessor will be punished for the same crime!"

Zhu Di stared at Liu Guan and said in a deep voice.

Liu Guan's face was as dead as ashes, his legs were weak, he sat on the ground, hiding his face and crying bitterly.

I thought that I would be cautious all my life and do not leak, who would have thought that His Majesty would be clear about what he had done.

When Shen Lian read out the first crime, he knew that he could not escape death, and now he was still implicated in the Nine Clans.

Thinking back then, when he was in Sanyuan, he was so high-spirited, and he also vowed to be the Qingtian lord who asked for the people's lives.

When will you be polluted by this worldly dye vat, and regret not being at the beginning!

Liu Guan was carried down from the court by the brocade guard, and the atmosphere above the court suddenly froze to the freezing point.
