……

The picture gradually turned, and the white light swallowed up the whole picture.

Then a few large characters flashed with golden light.

【Empty Seal Case】

As everyone knows.

Lao Zhu is not very sensitive to digital and economic aspects.

He may have been a brilliant politician, but he was definitely not a brilliant economist.

According to common sense, those who can be emperors have been palace nobles since childhood, even if they don't understand the economy, they have a natural sensitivity to money.

Liu Bang and Zhu Yuanzhang are among the special cases.

Although Liu Bang doesn't have any economic brains, he is more reliable than his daughter-in-law.

Lü Pheasant's business and economic acumen was terrifying, which also made the early Han Dynasty in such a chaotic situation in all aspects of order and error-free.

The rule of inaction in the early Han Dynasty sounds simple, but not everyone can do it.

When to regulate and when to move forward requires those in power to be like a mirror in their hearts.

Zhu Yuanzhang's numerical and economic insensitivity even led to a subsequent monetary disaster, which will be mentioned later.

What exactly is the empty seal case?

In the beginning, it was because transportation was too underdeveloped at that time.

According to the Ming Law, all localities must send people to the household department every year to report on the local finances.

Back then, it wasn't like now, just a phone call and an email was all it takes.

And even now, it can take days to pull back and forth when a problem arises.

Not to mention that time, once there is a problem, it is not said how long it will take to run back and forth, and whether it can really be solved is still a big problem.

Daming's territory is not small, every year every place has to go to Nanjing, the nearby counties are okay, a little farther away, Guangxi, Gansu and Shaanxi, that is really going to die.

As a result, the officials themselves privately pondered a set of tacit "small countermeasures".

In front of the canopy.

Hongwu's generals are still confused, and the ministers, especially the officials of the household department.

Almost instantly, the little face turned white!!

Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes slightly.

The officials of the household department sat on the ground with weak legs, and their whole body was uncontrollable.

Lan Yu scratched her head a little puzzled, "Although it's a bit far, but hurry up, you can basically come in less than ten days, right?" ”

Liu Bowen glanced at him and said quietly.

"General Lan, not everyone's physique can be comparable to yours, for example, like me, let alone riding a horse, I am afraid that I have to go to see Lord Yama even after three days of carriage."

Lan Yu was shocked, "What?!" You're such a shit?!! ”

Liu Bowen: ............ (Keep smiling)

……

The canopy slowly typed out a few words.

[Empty seal: Stamping an empty document in advance.] 】

What do you mean?

It is equivalent to when the financial statement is made, there is already an official seal at the bottom, and how to fill in the data in it is up to you.

It is equivalent to when you take the check, all the names are signed at the bottom, and how to fill in the number on it is up to you.

This "little secret" that everyone tacitly knew was known to the Manchu officials, and even the household department itself acquiesced, because they didn't want to toss.

Except for Zhu Yuanzhang.

……

In front of the canopy.

Zhu Biao's face has changed dramatically!!

He raised his head instantly, and Zhu Yuanzhang had already smashed the table in a fit of rage!!

"Good, good!! What a guts, my officials are really bold!! ”

Tobe Shangshu was sweating profusely, and he fell to the ground with a pale face!!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's anger!! This thing, this thing......"

This time, Queen Ma's face was also ugly.

She reprimanded, "How dare you hide such a big matter!" Everyone can see the difficulties of the early establishment of the dynasty, and you still dare to engage in these twists and turns!! ”

Zhu Biao quickly stood up, and then scolded coldly.

"I will thoroughly investigate this matter, and I will not let anyone who participates in it !!"

The officials of the household department were already in mourning, lying on the ground and trembling.

"Biao'er, sister, we will never spare this matter, it's useless for you to protect them, I'll check it myself, there's no need to discuss!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stepped out of the ruins of the table with a gloomy face, and his expression was as cold as the king of Shura!!

Zhu Biao and Queen Ma froze, and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang helplessly.

"Heavy Eight ......"

"Daddy......"

It's not that we have to protect them.

The key is that once you start it yourself, killing it is not something that one or two thousand people can solve.

When we first established Hongwu, there were not many officials, and it was not easy to train one......

……

Because Zhu Yuanzhang is really unprofessional in economic and financial aspects.

So I was stunned to let this group of people toss like this for several years under Lao Zhu's nose.

A thing that the officials of the Manchu Dynasty acquiesced to, but the emperor himself did not know.

To put it nicely, it is called bullying.

To put it mildly, it is called to treat Lao Zhu as a fool.

Everyone knows that Lao Zhu never went to school, never studied, and became the emperor in a peasant uprising.

You are a great cultural person in the Manchu Dynasty, bullying him in front of Lao Zhu and not understanding it, and engaging in these nonsense things.

Naturally, with Zhu Yuanzhang's desire to control the court, even if he doesn't understand it, it is impossible to keep it in the dark all the time.

[In the ninth year of Hongwu, when the empty seal case occurred, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and carried out a terrifying purge of the court, and the number of officials involved was extremely large, totaling about 20,000 to 30,000 people. 】

Where did you say that the early officials got so much courage?

In fact, tracing back to the source, such an outrageous practice of [Empty Seal] must be traced back to the decadent officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty.

These officials in the early Ming Dynasty were not completely unofficial in the Yuan Dynasty, so when this decadent atmosphere was raised again, most of them accepted it well.

Back then, when Lao Zhu opened the killing ring, some people exonerated the officials.

But he got one fundamental thing wrong.

For Zhu Yuanzhang, the most terrifying thing about the empty seal case is not that the blank check can be filled in casually.

It was a great contempt for the imperial power.

He didn't come out of the officialdom of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was one of the best beggars, but his understanding of officialdom was not as good as that of this group of officialdom veterans.

The ministers dared to unite to commit such a shocking crime without his knowledge.

This seems to be clearly rejecting him as an emperor, telling him how about being an emperor, and still just an "outsider" who doesn't know anything.

Later, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, and his supervision of the court became more and more strict, so that he could not tolerate the excessive power of the prime minister, and completely erased it through the Hu Weiyong case.

The barrage swept by.

[It's strange that the Dao Yuan Dynasty can't last long, and this kind of outrageous thing actually dares to let it go. ] 】

[Actually, some people say that the officials are using what kind of 'riding seal', which is not as exaggerated as Lao Zhu thought. 】

[, no matter how many seven-seam prints, eight-seam prints, do they dare to do this if Lao Zhu agrees? ] (Rage Soybeans)】

[That's it, it's just that the law doesn't blame the public, if it goes on like this for a long time, it won't be long before the Ming officialdom decays back to the Yuan Dynasty, then it's really over!!] 】

[The phrase 'the law does not blame the public' is basically equivalent to farting (smile) here in Lao Zhu]

[No matter how many people you commit, kill them all (dog head)]

[To some extent, Lao Zhu is also right to clean up, but the cleaning is indeed a bit too much]

[The officials of the underworld are about to reorganize a Ming Dynasty hall if they make do with it (dog head holding flowers)]

[Hahahahahahaha Of]

……

In front of the canopy.

The officials of the DPRK and China did not laugh at all.

For the barrage, this is an ordinary joke in the underworld.

But to them, it's a ghost story!!

It has to be a ghost story that is about to happen to you in the future!

They knelt on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads, but trembling.

It was precisely because of Tianmu that they could be sure of one thing.

Nima's Lao Zhu is really good at killing!!

I thought that it would be terrifying for His Majesty to kill at the moment of hunting, but I didn't expect it to be so terrifying!!

Hu Weiyong's case is like this, this empty seal case is like this, these two cases alone have killed forty or fifty thousand people!!

No one told them that there were tens of thousands!!

Not to mention the cases that haven't been filed since then.

No, is there really any official left in the Hongwu Dynasty in the end?

In the dead silence of the hall, there were also small officials who were frightened and trembled, and they couldn't help but break down with a handful of snot and tears.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know it's wrong, it's because everyone did this, I did it, I will never dare in the future, please spare me!

I studied hard to get a reputation and read it, and the old lady, daughter-in-law and children of the family pointed to me to live!

I'm dead, I'm dead, what are they going to do......"

He was almost upside down, his expression broken and muttering in a trance.

On the side, an official who was also like a mourning examiner glanced at him and said quietly.

"Don't bother with that, Your Majesty generally kills people from the three clans, and your daughter-in-law, children, and old mother can't run away, and you can still join the group if you go down with you."

Collapsed petty officer: ..................

Almost all the officials involved in this matter in the DPRK and China are on the verge of despair.

And the officials who were lucky not to be involved in this matter also had a feeling of sadness that the rabbit was dead and the fox was dead.

Zhu Yuanzhangsen's face was depressed, even Li Shanchang, Xu Da and others didn't dare to persuade for a while.

Zhu Biao and Queen Ma looked at each other helplessly, but they also understood that their persuasion could not really shake Zhu Yuanzhang's determination.

In the silence, Yu Qian sighed slightly, gently patted Xiao Zhu Di's shoulder, and pushed him over.

Xiao Zhu Di showed a frightened face and shook his head frantically.

No, my mother and eldest brother can't persuade me, let me go?!!

Mr. Yu, Yu Shaobao, Grandpa Yu, you look down on me too much, right!!

Yu Qian sighed and slowly walked to the center of the main hall.

He stood in front of the Manchu Dynasty and bowed deeply to Zhu Yuanzhang.

He said, "Your Majesty Hongwu, today's Ming is no longer the Ming you feared. ”

The canopy sent me here.

The crown prince is still alive.

The queen is still there.

His Majesty Yongle is thriving.

Blessings descended on the entire Ming Dynasty.

Your imperial power reigns supreme and no one dares to question it anymore.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Yu Qian fixedly, and remained silent for a long time.

Yu Qian was neither humble nor arrogant, looking back at Zhu Yuanzhang with a straight back, calmly.

"Your Majesty, Tianmu sends the minister back, there must be something that needs to be done by the minister, the minister thinks that this is the time."

To kill.

But please don't kill indiscriminately.
