Chapter 233: Treacherous
Zhu Gaochi trembled and took the fold over and opened it, and after reading it once, he was also shocked into a cold sweat.
"Dad, this ...... If Uncle Twenty's investigation is true, then the child thinks that this matter should be severely punished! ”
"Severe punishment?" Zhu Di asked coldly: "Didn't you say to me that you want to influence the world with benevolence and righteousness, and to stand up with benevolence and righteousness?" Didn't you say that you want me to give amnesty to the world, why did you suddenly change your words now and punish you severely, do you know how important Zhejiang is to the imperial court? ”
Zhu Gaochi knelt down with a plop: "Dad, it is precisely because the child knows that Zhejiang is very important to the imperial court, so at this time, the imperial court should come up with a clear attitude, the new dynasty is true, but it is also true that my Ming law cannot be messed up!" If Zhejiang is allowed to continue to be in turmoil, won't it set a bad example for other provincial officials and the people of the world? ”
Zhu Di is still very satisfied with Zhu Gaochi's reaction, in his opinion, Zhu Gaochi is likely to always be called benevolence, but in fact he is weak, but he didn't expect him to have such a decisive time.
"Very good, you, who are the crown prince, have finally grown a little! I'm asking you, if the officials of Zhejiang, including this political envoy and the envoy of the procuratorate, are involved in it, and they will be punished according to the crime, who else can be the parents of Zhejiang? ”
Zhu Gaochi knew that this was his father's problem again, so he thought about it and said: "Dad, my son thinks that the officials in the DPRK and China are not complete now, and there are still vacancies in various ministries and yamen, and it will not work to send them down from the court officials. ”
"Erchen believes that Fan Zhongping, the prefect of Hangzhou, has both ability and political integrity, and is familiar with the people of Zhejiang, and if he takes over the position of political envoy or according to the position of inspector, he will definitely be able to do well."
Zhu Di nodded, and then asked: "You said that Fan Zhongping, the prefect of Hangzhou, can be appointed as a political envoy, but what about the envoy?" Is there only a political envoy in the Yamen of the Third Division of Zhejiang who needs to find someone to make up for it? Isn't it necessary to press the chakra? ”
Zhu Gaochi couldn't think of a good solution for a while, so he had to be vague for a long time.
Zhu Di didn't bother to continue to talk to him, scare the eldest son, that is the after-dinner program of our Yongle Emperor, today the scare is almost over, the prince has almost reviewed the recital, there is nothing to do with him, Zhu Di simply let him get out.
After Zhu Gaochi left, Zhu Di issued a holy decree, the content was very simple, Zhu Song could conduct a drastic investigation in Zhejiang, and Jinyiwei could also requisition the Hangzhou prison, and the Hangzhou prison was temporarily under the control of Jinyiwei, not under the command of the Yamen.
But if there is a vacancy in the position of this Hangzhou official, Zhu Song is responsible for selecting the right person to fill it.
The holy decree was quickly sent to Hangzhou, and it was delivered to Zhu Song's hands, after Zhu Song saw the holy decree, his heart was finally steady, although he was still responsible for picking up the vacant officials in Hangzhou, but he could let himself do things in the process of collecting cash.
"With the emperor's will, these officials who hide filth and dirt have nothing to hide, pass on the king's order, and the various brocade guards in Hangzhou began to integrate all the news and hand it over to the king, and the investigation of the nine dikes must give a result as soon as possible."
"In addition, the hundreds of children lost in Hangzhou must also be investigated as soon as possible, whether it was done by human traffickers or by officials who do not know whether they are alive or dead."
"If it is a human trafficker, it will be executed on the spot, and if it is an official, it will be taken to the vegetable market and executed, so that the people can watch and relieve their anger!"
When Lao Cao heard this, he arched his hand and said, "Your Highness, the lower official will explain it!" Is Shen Zhengcong still staring? Now that we have the emperor's decree to fully implement the rights of Jinyiwei, we don't need to go through the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, we can cut them first and then copy their homes first, and the lower officials will not believe it and cannot find any evidence. ”
Zhu Song thought for a while and shook his head: "Raiding the house, this method doesn't work, these are all foxes among foxes, they must have hidden all the evidence before, such as the account book of the salt tax." ”
"Now it can be said that there is no proof of death, Jianwen Sibao does not do good things, and now these four are damned dead, and those officials are also sure of this, and they believe that the court has no proof of death, so this is so bold."
"But the fake ledger is ready for them, and the real ledger must be hidden in that place, people are not suffering from widowhood and unevenness, if there is no real ledger, then the spoils will be unevenly distributed, but I am afraid of more trouble."
"First focus on the gunpowder and the nine dikes, call Qin Tai over, and let him come to see the king!"
"Understood!"
……
"His Royal Highness King Han means to let me go into the city to find him?" Qin Tai looked at Cao Qinghe and asked.
Cao Qinghe nodded: "Lord Qin, everyone knows that it is definitely not a coincidence that the nine dikes collapsed at the same time, it is very likely that someone did it deliberately, and if these nine dikes can be destroyed at the same time, and they can be destroyed so completely, then only one thing can do it." ”
"Gunpowder! In the whole city of Hangzhou, only you have the right to transfer gunpowder, although I have not sent anyone to check whether the gunpowder has decreased, but I dare to pack a ticket, the amount of gunpowder stored in Hangzhou must have decreased in the past few years! ”
"If the commander wants to fire artillery and use gunpowder in the ordinary martial arts, he must apply to the imperial court, and the imperial court will allow it to be used normally, my Royal Highness has sent someone to check the archives in the palace, Jianwen has never issued an order to allow Zhejiang Wei to use gunpowder, if it really finds out what is going on, Lord Qin will bear the brunt."
How could Qin Tai not understand what Cao Qinghe said, but the theft of gunpowder back then, although it was not intentional by himself, but the responsibility is still on his own after all, if it is...... If he admits it, I'm afraid that the brutes won't let him go so easily.
Qin Tai stood up and paced back and forth in the tent.
"Lord Cao, this matter is not because Qin is unwilling, if His Highness really wants to ask something, then can I ask His Highness to come to my Hangzhou Guard's Office to ask?"
Lao Cao thought he had heard it wrong, so he stood up and asked very puzzled.
"Lao Qin, you have also been an official for many years, do you think this is possible? His Royal Highness the Prince of the Majesty, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard, want to ask the officials questions, and do you want people to come in person? Do you not obey the commands of Your Highness? ”
Lao Cao was also a little worried, this Qin Tai stayed in the guard all day, although these 30,000 soldiers and horses were not much, but they were much more than 2,000 brocade guards.
Now that the situation in Zhejiang officialdom is treacherous, if His Royal Highness really sacrifices his life to go, it is dead or alive, and others can't help but have the final say.
