Chapter 350: Extra: Corrupt Officials Meet (I)
About anti-corruption and anti-corruption~
When Zhu Yuanzhang's video slowly came to an end, a golden light flashed.
As a result, some people in the past dynasties suddenly felt that their spirits were flickering, and the next moment they came to a fairyland shrouded in mist.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, looked around at the various figures that kept appearing, and a thoughtful look gradually flashed in his eyes.
Not far in front of him, a white light condensed, and a man in a shabby robe appeared.
The man looked around blankly, and when his eyes fell on Zhu Yuanzhang, he suddenly showed surprise!!
"Your Majesty Hongwu!!"
He couldn't hide his excitement and rushed forward and made a big salute!
"Chen Hairui, I've seen His Majesty Hongwu!!"
On the other side, two clouds of white light were gradually condensing.
One has an unfathomable demeanor, and the other is slightly arrogant and contemptuous.
The moment the two saw Zhu Yuanzhang, their faces changed together.
The unfathomable one is okay, the slightly arrogant one is almost pale with a swish, and he subconsciously turns his head and runs!!
Zhang Juzheng reacted quickly and quickly grabbed him, which can be called fierce.
"Sit upright, what are you running!!"
Yan Song was not a fool after all, he quickly reacted, tried to calm down, and took a deep breath with an ugly face.
The two tidied up their clothes and walked respectfully in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
"Minister Zhang Juzheng, see His Majesty Hongwu."
"Minister Yan Song, see His Majesty Hongwu."
Hai Rui squinted at them with a look of disdain and snorted from his nostrils.
Zhang Juzheng/Yan Song: ............ The surname is Hai, are you looking for death?
Zhu Yuanzhang remained silent, and already had a full view of their expressions.
He smiled slightly, stepped forward and helped the three of them up, which can be called gentle.
"It seems that the three of them are old acquaintances, I don't know which generation of my Ming Dynasty they are from? Get up and talk. β
When the three of them got up, Zhu Yuanzhang added quietly.
"As long as it is not a traitorous and corrupt official who is corrupt and takes bribes, we must treat each other with courtesy."
Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song's legs were weak at the same time, so they could hang and kneel back.
Xu was aware that his expression was too obvious, and Zhang Juzheng barely squeezed out a smile.
"Your Majesty Hongwu, you, you are joking, since the ministers entered the dynasty, they have assisted the two Majesties of Jiajing and Wanli, and have carried out reforms and made the governance of the Ming Dynasty prosperous, how, how can they be such ignorant courtiers."
Yan Song's face turned green, and he held back for a long time, "Minister, minister......"
Hai Rui replied lightly.
"Lord Yan has always been the only one who obeys His Majesty, but the top celebrities in front of His Majesty, if the government and the opposition want to do anything, it is absolutely impossible to pass the road in front of Lord Yan without preparing gifts."
Yan Song: ..................
The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face visibly faded.
In front of the canopy.
Jiajing and Wanli covered their eyes at the same time, revealing an indescribable look.
No, your acting skills are too "good", right?!
One looks at the face, I can't wait to let the grandfather pull off a layer of skin!!
Where is the usual delicate energy? Why are they all like those two hundred and five?!
And my mother-in-law, Ancestor Hai, can you put aside our pre-emptive sue if you have any royal form, farewell, don't work hard grandfather!!
On the canopy.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say anything, just glanced at the sky with calm eyes.
This time it was Jiajing and Wanli's turn to weaken their legs.
Three scrolls appeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
One wears washed white clothes, eats vegetables grown in the backyard of the family, and is willing to buy a piece of meat during the New Year's holidays - this is Hai Rui
A person dressed in silk and satin, sitting in a sedan chair carried by 32 people, needs dozens of people to wait on the side when dealing with political affairs - this is Zhang Juzheng
Surrounded by a beautiful woman, lying on the bed with a stretched posture, the delicate girl showed her chest to warm his feet - this is Yan Song
Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song were already pale, slumped to the ground and trembled.
Zhang Juzheng can barely calm down, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, even though the minister's life style is not simple enough, he has always been conscientious and conscientious about the government, and he has no merit and hard ......work."
Yan Song bluntly staged the word "fear" thoroughly, and couldn't even say a word of rebuttal.
Zhu Yuanzhang ignored them.
He frowned and walked up to Hai Rui, picked up his shirt and looked around.
"We are not completely ignorant of the salaries of our courtiers, and it is absolutely no problem to maintain a living in common sense, how can we not even afford a new coat?"
Hai Rui's face showed embarrassment, and he said, "This, this ......"
Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice, "To tell you the truth, we don't blame you." β
Hai Rui's face was difficult: "...... ActuallyγUh"
Zhang Juzheng was quite a little bit of a broken jar, and said numbly.
"Your Majesty Hongwu, the imperial court pays your Daming treasure money, and it is a miracle that a fool like him who does not know how to be flexible does not starve to death."
Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned at first, and then became furious.
"What do you mean?! Isn't our Daming treasure banknote money?! β
Zhang, Hai, Yan: ............
You say yes.
In front of the canopy.
Zhu Di showed a toothache expression, hesitating and considering.
"Daddy, doesn't Daddy know about this?"
Yu Qian didn't tell him?
During the Hongwu period.
Yu Qian was stunned for a moment, then knocked on his palm, and said suddenly.
"Oh, I forgot to tell Hong Wuye about this."
Everyone looked at him in unison, their expressions a little distorted.
After Zhang Juzheng calmly and numbly explained the follow-up development of the Daming treasure banknote to Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned black visibly.
He was a little angry and confused.
Although during the Hongwu period, the Ming treasure banknotes also depreciated for a time, but it was not so exaggerated.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't understand the reason for this, so he never thought of deposing the Ming treasure banknote.
After all, compared to the limited amount of copper and silver, isn't it possible to have as much paper as you want?
With this kind of luck mentality, Zhu Yuanzhang, who thought that the money was printing more and more, never thought about the deep reason.
Now that Zhang Juzheng's words are completely shattered, how can his face be good-looking?
β¦β¦
At the same time as Zhu Yuanzhang was pondering.
The white light soon flashed again, and Zhang Juzheng and Hai Rui Yan Song slowly disappeared in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
When Zhang Juzheng and Yan Song returned to their bodies, they collapsed almost instantly, and their faces were a little white and scary.
Yan Song slowed down for a while, then jumped up angrily.
"Hai Rui, that brute, dare to sue Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu is going to kill him!!"
An angry voice came eeriely.
"Who are you going to kill?"
As soon as Yan Song turned around, he met Jiajing's gaze, and fell to the ground with a pale face again.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty......"
"Idiot!"
Jiajing scolded him senrenely and flicked his sleeves.
"Someone, tie him up and throw him into prison! Arrange Jinyi Wei to check, how much he has been greedy over the years, and let him spit it out if he doesn't fall!! β
The other side.
After Zhang Juzheng calmed down, he held his forehead and sighed.
He took off his gorgeous official uniform and entered the palace for an audience.
Wanli glanced at him and smirked, "What is the Prime Minister doing?" β
Zhang Juzheng buckled his head deeply.
"The minister's style in the past was extravagant, but now he is fortunate to have His Majesty's guidance, he has already known his mistakes, and he is willing to make up his mind to repent, and I hope that His Majesty will give the minister another chance, and the minister will definitely work hard for the Ming Dynasty and do his best."
Wanli sneered, "Got me? You have to be guided by your grandfather, your grandfather is really majestic, and he can give you this old fritter so honest. β
Zhang Juzheng showed a confused expression.
"Your Majesty, what do you say? What the minister said was originally His Majesty Hongwu. β
Wanli: ..................
