"Poof, poof, poof......"

The screams disappeared, only the special syllables sounded rhythmically, and the three magistrates were obviously desperate, but the executing eunuchs were dutiful and still meticulously executing.

The snow is heavier.

The small snowflakes turned into goose feather snow at some point, and even the black gauze hats and wings of the officials were dyed white.

This situation and this scene, the New Year's Day, is really ...... Damn.

——The voice of the ministers.

"Poof, poof, poof......!"

A quarter of an hour later, the staff was finally over, and the ministers breathed a long sigh of relief.

The heavy snow was still falling, and soon the three of them were 'buried' in half, and the eye-catching scarlet turned into dark red, and the bloody scene was gone.

Zhu Di was not interested, and raised his hand and waved.

"Drag it off." Xiao Linzi commanded sharply.

The execution eunuch saluted and lifted the three out of everyone's sight like a dead dog.

The lips and teeth were cold, the ministers' faces were ugly, and their hearts were angry and afraid.

Zhu Di changed his posture to a more comfortable position, and said lazily: "Conniving at thieves and scourges the people, his heart can be punished, do you think so?" ”

After a moment of silence, the ministers replied one after another: "The emperor is sage!" ”

"Hmm." Zhu Di swept the officials standing on one side, "This investigation is sponsored by Dongchang, and you supervise and coordinate the investigation, and you will talk about the results." ”

Dali Temple, Ducha Yuan, Hanlin Temple...... When Zhu Di saw whom, he immediately bowed his head, I don't know if he was frightened by the scene just now, or he was not afraid of offending people, and he didn't dare to take the lead, or both.

Zhu Di's gaze finally stayed on Qian, "Is there any progress?" ”

"Yes." Yu Qian's voice is clear, penetrating the wind and snow, and penetrating the hearts of the people.

Someone's legs and stomachs trembled even more.

Zhu Di's face was slightly gentle: "Say." ”

"According to the investigation, Fu. Built smuggled porcelain, mostly from the river. Xixingan, the source is a person named Jin Ingot. ”

"The name... It's so pleasing. Zhu Di nodded, "Go on." ”

"Gold ingots fired a large number of porcelain, in Fu. There are sales in all parts of Jian'an, and more than half of them have flowed into Jian'an County. Yu Qian continued, "Jian. An's biggest buyer is a man named Yang Dahai. ”

"Gold ingots, Yang Dahai, fishing for gold ingots on the sea......" Zhu Di joked, "It's a little interesting." ”

After Zhu Di finished his witty words, Yu Qian continued:

"Most of the porcelain fired by gold ingots was sold to Yang Dahai, Yang Dahai sold it at a low price, and it didn't even make money, Weichen checked, the buyers of these porcelains are all old, weak, women and children,"

After a pause, "Wei Chen was puzzled, and continued to investigate secretly, and found that after the old and young bought the porcelain back, they would soon encounter the robbery of the thieves, but the thieves were 'very good-hearted', and they did not embarrass these old and young, but would leave a sum of money;

Later, it was confirmed that these thieves looted their own homes, and all the porcelain they stole went overseas, seventy percent of which were sold to Japan and three percent to North Korea. fresh

Weichen asked Gonggong Lin for a few Dongchang battles and caught a lone thief;

After interrogation, it was learned that the boss only received 30% of the money earned from selling porcelain, and 70% of the profits had to be handed over. ”

"Where?"

"A boss surnamed Yang." Yu Qian breathed a sigh of relief, "According to the thief, that Boss Yang has someone in the capital. ”

"Who?"

"Cabinet Fellow!"

"Cabinet's?" Zhu Di glanced at the big one, and then looked at the ministers, "That...... The cabinet surnamed Yang came out. ”

Shaoqing, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong came out of class, and then walked to the front of the palace.

"We're here, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live......!"

"Hmm." Zhu Di nodded, but didn't mention the matter of flattening, and turned to look at Yu Qian, "Are you finished?" ”

"Not yet." Yu Qian said straightly.

"Then you go ahead."

"Weichen targeted Yang Dahai, and sure enough, he was the same Boss Yang, according to his confession, there were also people who sold him the gold ingots of porcelain, and they were also cabinet scholars."

"The Cabinet is really promising." Zhu Di praised, "It's worthy of the cabinet, that ...... The cabinet surnamed Kim came out for a while. ”

Jin Youzi came to the royal front and bowed.

Zhu Di didn't seem to hear it, and said to Yu Qian, "Is there anything else?" ”

"In the palace, Weichen only found so much." Yu Qian arched his hand and said, "There are also real thieves and real widows, and the ministers have compiled them into a book." ”

Yu Qian took out the song from his sleeve, offered it with both hands, Xiao Linzi stepped forward to take it, and presented it to Zhu Di.

"Well, well done." Zhu Di took a general look, put away the music, and then looked at the three of them, "Can Yang Qing know Yang Dahai?" ”

Yang Shiqi raised his head and arched his hand, "I don't know the minister." ”

"What about this Yang Qing?" Zhu Di asked Yang Rong.

Yang Rong's face turned pale, "Your Majesty, the minister has wronged ......"

"Don't be in a hurry to shout grievances, let's talk about things first."

"Yes," Yang Rong swallowed his saliva and said bitterly, "Yang Dahai is Wei Chen's cousin, and he does run a porcelain business, as for whether he is involved in smuggling, Wei Chen ...... I really don't know! ”

Zhu Di smiled, "Yang Qing get up and go back." ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Rong was overjoyed and hurriedly buckled his head.

Just about to get up, Zhu Di said, "I'm talking about another Yang Qing." ”

"Your Majesty." Yang Shiqi kowtowed, glanced at Yang Rong sympathetically, and turned back to work.

Zhu Di didn't pay any attention to Yang Rong, and turned to look at Jin Youzi, "Can Jin Qing know Jin Yuanbao?" ”

"Back to the emperor, cousin of the minister." Jin Youzi replied that compared to Yang Rong, he was much calmer.

After all, selling porcelain in Daming does not violate the law!

Zhu Di nodded, then left the two of them there, "Yu Qian, you go back to work first." ”

"Obey." Yu Qian arched his hand and turned back to work.

Zhu Di's gaze swept over the faces of Dali Temple, Hanlin Academy, Ducha Yuan and others in turn, and finally wrapped in Dayu, "Who said first?" ”

Jinyi Wei Qianhu was the first to speak: "Your Majesty, the ministers also have gains." ”

"Say."

……

Half an hour later.

The servant of the Ministry of Officials, a bachelor of Hanlin, and the right capital of the Imperial History of the Metropolitan Inspectorate...... More than ten officials knelt in front of the emperor one after another.

It can be seen that a small case of thieves and robbers has implicated so many officials at once.

Zhu Di didn't dispose of it, just left them to dry in the snow and started the annual summary instead.

~

The next process is the same as in previous years, the ministers greet the emperor for the New Year, and the emperor sends red envelopes to the ministers, and they are harmonious.

It's just that more than a dozen people in front of the emperor can't kneel, and there is some nondescript in their joy.

Li Qing waited for so long, only received a red envelope of twenty taels, and shouted blood loss, and wanted to leave after taking the money, but was stopped by Zhu Zhanji.

"Uncle Qing, Grandpa Huang asked you to go to the imperial study first." Zhu Zhanji said in a low voice.

"Okay."

——

The Imperial Study.

Zhu Zhanji waved away the little eunuch and asked, "Uncle Qing, what do you say Grandpa Huang will do with those officials this time?" ”

"I don't know, it depends on his mood." Li Qing picked up the teacup, blew the tea leaves floating on it, and took a sip, "The taste is really good, go back and give me two catties." ”

"That's easy to say." Zhu Zhanji readily agreed, "You first analyze and analyze the current situation." ”

"What's there to analyze about this?" Li Qing blew lightly and admired the tea leaves swirling in the cup, "If you kill it, you will kill it, and it is not wrong not to kill." ”

"What do you mean?"

"Literally."

"......" Zhu Zhanji said helplessly, "Then do you think the imperial grandfather will kill him?" ”

Li Qing asked rhetorically: "Then why do you think your imperial grandfather asked me to come here?" ”

Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment, "What do you mean...... Grandpa Huang is not ready to kill? ”

Li Qing was surprised and asked, "You don't seem to want them to die." ”

"Well, I don't want to."

"Why?"

"Because they are all supporters of my father, and regarding the smuggling matter, except for Yang Rong, who is more responsible, the others have not directly violated the law." Zhu Zhanji said, "They may benefit indirectly, but at least they follow the rules, and these people are quite capable, so it's a pity to kill them." ”

paused, "Even if it is Yang Rong, he passively violated the law and was pulled by his cousin as a tiger skin, of course, the real situation should be that Yang Rong pretended to be deaf and dumb, holding the mentality of inaction, and profiting from chaos;

But... No one is perfect, how can an official not be greedy?

Remembering that they also know that they have covered up, and that they have not blatantly transgressed the law, that they are not guilty unto death. ”

Zhu Zhanji said seriously, "Corrupt officials are endless, Taizu has killed so many, and the corrupt are still going forward and succeeding, which has explained everything." ”

Li Qing put down the teacup and asked, "Then what is your philosophy of Bingzheng?" ”

"Use capable ministers, not clean officials." Zhu Zhanji said: "In my opinion, those who have the ability to lose some private morality are nothing, and they are still available!"

If you are incapable, even if you have a clean breeze on your sleeves and don't take a penny, you can't use it either! ”

After a pause, "Of course, the officials must do it, but they can't be killed simply and rudely." ”

Zhu Zhanji lowered his voice and said: "Taizu killed tens of thousands of officials in one day, and it is true that the rule of officials is much clearer to a certain extent, but it has also caused slackness in government affairs.

If the officials are not accepted, how can the country prosper, of course, I am not saying that Taizu is bad. ”

Li Qing smiled: "I understand, in fact, Taizu's governance is also biased, and no one is perfect." ”

"Taizu also said it?" Zhu Zhanji went online, "I will tell me this, if grandpa hears it, it will not be finished if he doesn't beat your court staff." ”

Li Qing's eyes rolled up to the sky, and he sipped tea without saying a word.

A quarter of an hour later, Zhu Di walked in.

The two got up, "The minister (grandson) see ......"

"Excuse me." Zhu Di walked to the main seat and sat down, "Sit down." ”

Zhu Zhanji smiled and said, "Grandpa, I'll go make you a cup of tea to warm up." ”

- When the good saint sun was by the emperor's side, the little yellow gate was very relaxed.

Zhu Di eats this set, but only for his eldest grandson.

"Li Qing, are you okay with this body?"

"Also...... Not quite really. Li Qing pointed to the gold-inlaid crutches made of yellow rosewood, "It's all crutches." ”

"You use crutches and Li Jinglong to take a fan in winter, all for the sake of sao bao." Zhu Di's face darkened, "I have something for you to do, and you can only go to represent my attitude and let those big families know the importance." ”

"Go to Jiangnan to suppress the Kou?"

Zhu Di glanced at him in surprise, "Okay, the brain is still good, it seems that you are alive." ”

"Your Majesty, ...... those people?"

"Gone to jail." Zhu Di took the hot tea handed by the eldest grandson and said, "Shut it up first, these people can be regarded as capable ministers, it is a pity to kill them, they are hardcore princelings, and when I die, Gao Chi will ascend the throne and still sell favors.

At the same time, it was also done to beat. ”

Zhu Di does dislike his eldest son, but after all, he is his own son, how can he not think about it.

"The imperial grandfather is immortal for thousands of years." Zhu Zhanji looked affectionate.

The two of them invariably turned their heads to glance at him, and invariably withdrew their gazes, ignoring the grandson.

"For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, for the emperor, for the people of the world...... The minister is willing to go to Jiangnan. Li Qing was a little embarrassed, "But ......"

Zhu Di had a calm face: "Don't worry, there is a subsidy!" ”
