In the most fulfilling era after Zhang Juzheng's reform, that is, in the eleventh year of Wanli, Taicang only had 19 million stone of grain.

And Zhu Jianshen, who was blackened to the point of being incomplete, what is the "darkest political era", and how much is the grain stored in other people's stores? The eighteenth year of Chenghua at its peak was 22.5 million stones.

Why didn't Zhu Jianshen clean him up directly at that time? To say that this Wan Guifei is really accurate in looking at people. Why don't you let so many children of Emperor Chenghua clean up, and specially clean up your Zhu Youjiao? You must know that Zhu Jianshen is not like the legend that "Wan Zhen'er is jealous" and doesn't know how many sons he has, in fact, he counted the three who died young, and they all had fourteen sons.

"Mao Xiang?" Lao Zhu called.

Hearing this familiar name, the courtiers all lost their voices.

"The minister is here!" Among the tin cans, a man in a flying fish suit was immediately squeezed over.

After hearing about the Jinyiwei of later generations, Lao Zhudang even changed the inspection school into Jinyiwei, Erhu served as the commander, and Mao Xiang was the deputy. Jinyiwei's key work focuses on detecting the surrounding enemy situation and searching for information about the Japanese state.

After all, the war against the Japanese kingdom is about to be launched, and that is a lot of silver!

Inserting a digression, Lao Zhu also adopted Erhu as his godson at Li Qing's suggestion.

"Go, take 5,000 people, close the Jingshi to us, and then you clean the Jinyi guard up and down, we don't want to see the existence of the Jinyi pro-army who disobeys our orders!"

"Yes!" Mao Xiang took the order and left.

"Two Tigers!" Lao Zhu issued an order again.

"The minister is here!" The second tiger immediately went out of work.

"Take a thousand people and go to the East Factory to clean us up and down, and those eunuchs who eat inside and outside and forget their books will be cut down for us!"

"Yes!" The second tiger also took the order and left.

"Jiang Xuan?" Lao Zhu spoke again.

"The minister is here!" Jiang Xuan, who was still very young at this time, immediately stood up.

"Take this Liu Daxia down to us, we don't care what method you use, limit you to find out all his interests before tomorrow morning, otherwise you won't have to see us!" Lao Zhu's tone was as usual, as if he was giving an ordinary order.

"Yes!" Jiang Xuan took the time to show a sad smile to Liu Daxia.

Hearing the name Jiang Zheng, the ministers really couldn't hold back.

His name, that's really thunderous. The famous Lanyu case was led by this kid......

A total of thirteen marquis and two uncles were implicated, and a total of more than 15,000 people were punished.

The ministers didn't dare to think about how many people he could bite out of Liu Daxia.

"You...... Your Majesty! The minister is not afraid of death! It's a pity that the momentum created by more than ten years of life and gathering has been ruined today! Liu Daxia shouted bitterly.

Of course he was scared, and it was very unclean under his buttocks. The Jinyi Wei in the Hongwu period was not as easy to talk as in this year, and the Emperor Taizu Gao sitting on it was not a soft-eared emperor like Zhu Youjiao.

"Whether it is a Zhongzheng Ying Dynasty or a nest of snakes and rats, we will find out after checking." Old Zhu Leng pulled the corners of his mouth: "We won't hide it from you, after we find out all the ugly things about you, we will write a special book about your crimes, and let everyone in the world take a look, whether you, the secretary of the military department who advertises yourself for the country and the people, are you for the country and the people, or for you!" ”

"You...... You ......" Liu Daxia pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang tremblingly, unable to say a word for a long time.

Li Qing handed Jiang Zhen a low-grade version of the pill and said to him: "Give it to him, hang his life first, I am a kind-hearted person, no matter what, I have to let him see with his own eyes that he is ruined." ”

"Your Majesty, high; Prince, hard; Immortal Master, tall and hard! Jiang Xuan slapped a fart in a low voice.

After dragging Liu Daxia, who was like a dead dog, down, Lao Zhu looked around at the courtiers and sneered: "We want to reorganize the court, who is in favor and who is against?" ”

The ministers looked at each other - who the would dare not approve? Who the would dare to object?

After eating enough, I think I have a little too many nine clans, right?

"We don't mean anything else, we just want to know who of you people is a loyal minister and who is a traitor." Old Zhu Senran smiled: "You all say that the heavenly family is selfless, we think it is very reasonable, and we even think that this court should also be selfless." ”

"We want to know, what kind of books you read during the day, what kind of women you sleep with at night, what kind of people you associate with, and how many opaque money you have, you shouldn't be too embarrassed, right?"

Lao Zhu's voice was like a hammer, beating the hearts of the courtiers.

The air in the hall seemed to be frozen, and the cold atmosphere made people shiver.

Zhu Yuanzhang, the man who killed and retreated millions of soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River, and the sword in his waist was still bloody, and the pressure on the courtiers was not ordinary.

When the ministers below were almost out of breath, Lao Zhu finally spoke again.

"Of course, God has the virtue of a good life."

He paused, met the expectant eyes of the courtiers, and continued: "Let's give you a chance, within three days, go to Mao Xiang's place to find him to turn himself in, tell me what taboos he has committed, and withdraw all the stolen money, we will allow you to leave a part of the silver, so that you can be decent." ”

"Remember, you only have three days, and after three days, if you don't want to be decent, then don't blame us for not giving you decency."

"What is the fate of Liu Daxia, you should know, and you will also know, whether he is a decent man in the history books, or a legacy for 10,000 years, it depends on your choice today, retreat from the dynasty!"

After Lao Zhu announced his retirement from the dynasty, he stood up and glanced meaningfully at the ministers who were still standing in place, revealing a smile that was bound to win.

He knew that there would always be people who couldn't bear to turn themselves in first. If there is a first, there will be a second.

What? Why do you think he's so confident?

Hehe...... He is Zhu Yuanzhang, perhaps not like Li Shimin, who is the white moonlight of the whole country for hundreds of years. But Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely the black sun of the entire Ming Dynasty for 276 years, and his name, especially in the hearts of bureaucrats, is particularly loud.

Some things can be compared in private, who dares to stand up and point at Lao Zhu's nose and scold the tyrant now, then ...... You're really a brother who doesn't know how to live or die.

As for Lao Zhu's promise, no one questioned it at all.

Even if he hates him to the bone of Wenchen, he has to admit that he does keep his word.

This is not the same thing as the Danshu iron coupon, the so-called emperor Chrysostom Yuyan, what he said is the water that is poured back, and there is absolutely no reason to change it.

After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Zhu Youzhu was still hesitating.

"Grandpa Taizu, isn't this a bit too much......

"You've got a!" Lao Zhu angrily stretched out his hand and slapped him.

Zhu Houzhao secretly rubbed and shouted hello in Zhu Zhang's arms, and clenched his fists and waved, obviously a rebel.

Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Youzhang, Xu felt that he was hopeless, and looked at Zhu Houzhao with burning eyes, and his voice was as shocking as Hong Zhong Dalu.

"Over the years, we have killed a lot of people, but what we have killed are those lawless nobles, rebellious soldiers, and those corrupt officials! There is a river of blood flowing on the Fengtian Palace, but our Ming Dynasty is prosperous! ”

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and smiled: "Grandpa Taizu, you are right!" When a family cries, it is better to cry all the way; It's better for hundreds of officials to cry than for the people to cry! ”

"This baby is like us." Lao Zhu Le walked over, stretched out his hand to rub Zhu Houzhao's head, he looked at Lao Zhu Di, and snorted: "Fourth, fortunately, you also have such a non-confused grandson in your descendants, otherwise we won't break your leg today, we will count your fate!" ”

Zhu Di: ......

Yes, you're a dad, and you're right.

Zhu Houzhao completely looked like he had found a backer, smiling so much that his white teeth were exposed.

"Melon peel." Li Shimin commented sharply in a low voice.

"Go, call us your ruined mother-in-law!" Lao Zhu said viciously at Zhu Youjiao.

Zhu Youzhu didn't dare to refuse, and hurriedly sent someone to call.

After a while, Empress Zhang was shocked and hurried over in a half-court luan.

Of course she knew what the situation was, Xiao Jing had already explained the matter on the way. Empress Zhang is not worried about what happened to those courtiers now, nor is she worried about whether she will be involved in the end, what she is worried about now is whether Lao Zhu will kill the killer after knowing what her brothers have done.

When she arrived at the Qianqing Palace, Empress Zhang immediately knelt on the ground with insight and asked Zhu Yuanzhang for peace.

"Get up, let Zhu Youjiao tell you about your business." Lao Zhu waved his hand impatiently at Empress Zhang.

After listening to Zhu Youzhang's account of Zhu Houzhao's death after 16 years on the throne, Empress Zhang was only slightly stunned; But when she heard that she had been humiliated in the Jiajing Dynasty, and even after her death, her two brothers were killed by Jiajing, her face instantly turned pale.

In fact, in her eyes, her son is not necessarily more important than her two brothers.

"Your two brothers, we have already sent someone to get them, the country has national laws, and the family has family rules, so we can deal with it as we want." Lao Zhu tugged at the corners of his mouth, "A woman like you who is favored but doesn't want to worry about the country, we won't embarrass you, you can go to Nangong with Zhu Youjiao, huh...... The Emperor and the Empress Taishang, the names are determined like this, and if the children want to visit, they will go, and if they don't want to see, they won't go. ”

"Okay, Grandpa." Zhu Houzhao said happily.

A teenager is in a rebellious period, not to mention that he doesn't think that his parents are right to discipline him, and the facts have proved that his parents are indeed wrong.

In addition, after learning about his future fate, Zhu Houzhao said that it was impossible not to feel disgusted.

Lao Zhu's approach also put an end to the possibility that Zhu Youzhu and Empress Zhang would interfere with Zhu Houzhao's policy in the future because of "filial piety".

"Then, Grandpa Taizu." Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang with a probe: "That, grandson thought, can you go with Jinyiwei to investigate grandchildren's two uncles, you know, they are used to being pampered by my father and mother, and they can be described as lawless in Shuntian Mansion, grandchildren are afraid that Jinyiwei will not dare to deal with the two of them, or for the sake of their father and queen mother, they will bend the law for personal gain......"

"Oh? And such things? Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Houzhao meaningfully, this kid ...... Well, ruthless enough, we like it.

"It's true, every word is true!" Zhu Houzhao said categorically and solemnly.

"Zhu Houzhao!" Empress Zhang pointed at Zhu Houzhao sadly and angrily scolded: "You conscienceless dog! Your uncle gave you candy when you were a child! ”

"What nonsense are you talking about, Queen Mother? Uncle give me candy? Zhu Houzhao looked disdainful: "If the two of them don't pick out the candy from my mouth, I'll take their surname Zhang!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Queen Zhang opened her mouth, but she really didn't say anything.

Why? Because of this, Zhang Yanling really did it......

"My two uncles, as the uncles of the Ming Dynasty, don't think about the grace of the king, violate the law and discipline, and corrupt the court, if it weren't for your pressure above, the courtiers would have cleaned them up a long time ago!" Zhu Houzhao said viciously: "The reason why you don't clean them up is that you still have interests with my father!" They enjoyed my father's goodness, and then turned a blind eye to my two uncles, it's all your calculations! ”

"You...... You ......" Empress Zhang was angry and scolded angrily: "Zhu Houzhao! You rebel! ”

"Thank you, Queen Mother." Zhu Houzhao smiled and shrank behind Zhu Fan again.

He now has a very good impression of Zhu Zhang, this grandfather of the King of Qin helped him carry the thunder again, and also helped himself to get angry, and even Zhu Houzhao was thinking about whether to posthumously crown Zhu Fan an emperor or prince or something after he ascended the throne......

Should I say it or not, Zhu Houzhao is righteous and knows who is good and who is good.

"Zhu Youjiao, do you have any opinions?" Lao Zhu looked at Zhu Youjiao.

He really didn't understand how the queen's long face as long as a donkey could make Zhu Youzhu so desperate.

What's going on? Will this woman drop her head? Or did you use your skills to control you?

Of course, Zhu Youzhu didn't dare to have an opinion, he could only bow down and say: "It's all up to Grandpa Taizu." ”

"Then we won't bother you and your deep affection, Xiao Jing." Lao Zhu glanced at Xiao Jing.

Xiao Jing is very smart, from the moment Zhu Yuanzhang appeared, he swore absolute loyalty to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Disloyal! Honest!

I want to be Emperor Taizu Gao's dog!

"The slave is here." Xiao Jing immediately stepped forward.

"Send our Emperor Taishang and Empress Taishang back to Nangong, and turn back to our little emperor, but I'll leave it to you." Lao Zhu's tone dragged on for a long time, "If you dare to be a little unsatisfied, let's let you know how fast our Hongwu Dynasty's treasure sword is!" ”

"Grandpa, don't worry!" Xiao Jing immediately expressed his loyalty, "The slave and maid will definitely serve the emperor well, more than the slave and maid and the father!" ”

"That's good." Lao Zhu nodded with satisfaction, "Go, send them to Nangong." ”

……

In the South Palace, Empress Zhang looked at Zhu Youzhu angrily.

"You're confused! Why did you recognize their identities at that time! You are the Emperor! What is what you say, if you directly ask Jinyi Wei to take someone, what if he is Taizu? ”

"They have soldiers in their hands...... Zhu Youzhu sighed and said, "What do you say I should do?" ”

"There are soldiers! There are soldiers! I think you're sick! And it's not lightly ill! You are the Emperor! Empress Zhang reprimanded angrily.

Her thinking is the same as that of some female frequency authors, thinking that the emperor can do whatever he wants, as long as he relies on such an identity, everyone in the world has to listen to the emperor.

But, is it possible?

Not to mention the land of China, let's just say that Europe, which regards bloodline and legal principles as extremely sacred, didn't Napoleon also say that he would be crowned?

Son of Heaven, the strong soldiers and strong horses are for it, you have 200,000 elite soldiers, and the prince will not dare to die in your jurisdiction. Even if someone stabs him several times, he will have to crawl out of your jurisdiction and die.

Zhu Youzhu didn't want to fight with her, in fact, he was also tired.

How strong can feelings be? What about affection? What about monogamy? Isn't it still extinct?

From the imperial examination to the imperial examination, I am really happy.

"Don't play dead! If there is anything to do with my two younger brothers, I will ask you! "Empress Zhang is still unrelentingly sprinkling.

This is not the first time, a few years ago, Dali Temple asked to investigate Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling, but Queen Zhang came to sprinkle halfway, and the matter was over.

"How can you let me save it? Are you a god when I am? Zhu Youzhu forcibly suppressed his anger and said as calmly as possible: "This is the manifestation of the great grandfather, and with 20,000 elite soldiers to control the entire Beijing Division, not even a pigeon can fly out, what do you want me to do?" Protect your two younger brothers, you can keep the honorific title, that's all for the sake of my deep affection for you! ”

"How can this be ......" Empress Zhang still couldn't accept this fact, she fell to the ground, not daring to imagine how Emperor Taizu Gao, who had always been merciless to corrupt officials, would deal with her two brothers.

Is it to raid the house and destroy the door, or to exterminate the nine clans, or to peel the skin and last the grass?

She closed her eyes, and her mind was full of images of herself enjoying the fine skin of the two brothers.

"Ah......h

Zhu Youzhu shook his head, sighed, and then helped her to lie down on the bed.

As a husband and wife, he didn't want to see Queen Zhang like this, but he couldn't help it.

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang tell about the incidents one by one, he had already realized his mistakes.

But there is a way that is difficult to reap when it is covered with water, and what you sow will reap what you reap.

……

At the court meeting that day, the courtiers left with a heavy heart. Although some people say in tandem that everyone is ironclad, don't say it if they all carry it to death, but there is always no bottom in their hearts.

After all, Emperor Hongwu was a corrupt official who killed gods, and everyone knew about it from the year of Hongwu to the 21st century.

The pressure is really great, and if it is discovered, it will at least be a raid - but the price given by Emperor Hongwu is also very attractive, and he will leave some pension money......

Soon, there were officials who couldn't bear it one after another. They walked back and forth in their yard with a lot of worry, causing the family to panic and not know what was going on.

If it doesn't work, let's recruit it! Someone thought so in their hearts, and they slipped away to the Jinyi Guard.

At the gate of the Fusi Yamen in Beizhen, there was the head of a Jinyi guard who disobeyed Mao Xiang's discipline.

This dismount is undoubtedly huge, and the officials, who were already trembling, are even more glad in their hearts about their choice.

In recent years, due to Zhu Youjiao's too generous atmosphere, the quality of Jinyiwei has deteriorated, and Jinyiwei has not been less shoulder-to-shoulder with the courtiers, which is a tacit thing.
