Li Jinglong is really a good actor, and his emotions come as he pleases.

Kneeling there, he swallowed loudly when he opened his mouth, with a heartbroken and trembling voice.

"I receive the favor of the emperor and hold the position of minister, but I cannot show sympathy to the Holy Heart from above and pity the people from below."

"I have a sacred heart. I am in a high position and don't know how to reflect on myself. I cannot restrain the slaves of the family and let the villains get their ambitions and use their power to bully others."

"I was in charge of the affairs of my family, and under the banner of my name, I invaded local fields and committed illegal acts. Although I didn't know it, I am also responsible for the oversight."

"Long Live cherishes the people the most. As a minister and a relative of the emperor, I allowed my family to do things that harmed the people. I am so frightened that I am guilty!"

"My family has occupied more than 200 hectares of local land. I am willing to return more than 100 hectares to the court, with 1,300 tenants and a grain rent of 7,000 dan."

"The crime of the minister is not punished by the officials. Please punish the crime of the minister!"

After speaking, Li Jinglong raised his head, his eyes flashing with tears, "Not only have I failed your Majesty, I have also tarnished my father's reputation. I am truly unfaithful and unfilial!"

His words were sincere and filled with regret.

This Li Jinglong is really not a straw bag, he is a straw bag who, besides fighting, is full of crooked ways.

Remember the URL m.wxsy．

What beautiful words he said. He kowtowed to plead guilty and described himself as a sinner who had failed the Holy Grace. Then he put the blame on the family manager. Finally, he said a few words about disloyalty and unfilial piety, and made it clear that he was a royal relative.

The most difficult thing is that Zhu Yunxi knew in his heart that everything Li Jinglong said was false, but he just couldn't find fault with it.

"Perhaps such a person should be placed in another position!" Zhu Yunxi thought to himself.

Li Jinglong took the lead first, and then more than a dozen meritorious military generals also knelt down, saying roughly the same thing as Li Jinglong.

It was all due to lax housekeeping and allowing the servants to do bad things outside. Then the occupied land, illegally obtained money, and tenant mines were returned to the state.

Zhu Yuanzhang listened expressionlessly and remained silent until these people finished speaking.

There was silence outside the main hall, and the ministers were waiting for the emperor to express his position.

In fact, this is a play, and everyone is an actor. The ministers sneered at what these generals said. The greed of the family who has made great contributions to the founding of the country is not just a day or two.

Zhu Yuanzhang also has a clear mind, but he doesn't want to touch them yet. He has killed many people in the past few years, and he himself is a little tired.

After a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang sighed slightly, "You are all old men and ministers who have fought with us all your life. You are also children from poor families. As long as you had enough to eat, no one would follow us to kill heads.

.”

"I know you are afraid of poverty. We have given you everything we should have given you over the years. We have not treated you badly in terms of land, population, gold, silver, and power."

"We think we have given you enough, so you don't have to be greedy or rob. We know in our hearts whether what you just said is the truth, and we are not old fools yet!"

"This time, I believe you. But there will never be a next time!"

All the honorable nobles kowtowed again, "I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"

"If you really want to thank us, don't let the censor join you again." Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Give us some face and stop doing those nasty things!"

Everyone was trembling and did not dare to say anything.

"Retreat from the court!" Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon throne, was supported by Zhu Yunxi's arm, and slowly walked towards Fengtian Hall.

"I respectfully send you off to Your Majesty!"

The emperor did not sit in the chariot, but walked slowly with Zhu Yunxi, with the palace guards behind them. Only Tie Xuan and Xie Jin were a few steps behind.

After walking for a while, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly said, "Da Sun!"

"Grandpa Huang!"

"Do you think they are really afraid?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"I'm afraid they will definitely be afraid!" Zhu Yunxi said thoughtfully, "After beating them this time, if they have the intention, they will naturally not do it again. But if it calms down for a while, and there is no more censor to impeach them, they may still be punished.

, dominion and blessing."

"Hmph, if you do it again, I'll weigh their heads!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly, "Next time you come to kill, it will just give you authority!" He said, looking at Zhu Yunxi, "Do you think we are going to kill people at every turn?

, the hand is too heavy!”

Then, he frowned again and said, "Why can't you kill him cleanly?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled and did not answer directly, "My grandson has been studying recently and found that throughout the past and present, the founding achievements of the country have been illegal. They relied on the achievements of the past to prey on the people. In a few generations, there will be corruption in the official circles, party strife, and collusion between the top and bottom.

.My grandson feels that there are some things that cannot be clean without killing him."

"And my grandson believes that there are many types of corruption. Some people are greedy but are capable, and some are not greedy but do nothing. The harm of foolish officials is no less than greed."

"You haven't read this book in vain!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, "What you said makes some sense, but remember, what the country needs are officials who can do things, not corrupt officials who can do things and know how to do things!"

"My grandson, remember!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "Grandpa Huang, this time stamp money from various places in the south of the Yangtze River has received millions, does it mean that the money for the disaster relief in Jiangxi has been settled?"

Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to speak, he heard rapid footsteps coming from behind him.

Pu Wuyong knelt down while holding the memorial in both hands, "Your Majesty, this is an urgent memorial from Baili, Jiangxi!"

As soon as we mentioned Jiangxi, the memorial from Jiangxi was coming soon, and it was still urgent.

Zhu Yunxi thought to himself, could it be that something happened to Jiangxi disaster relief?

Before he could get over his thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang, who had read the memorial, roared angrily, "What kind of officials did the Ming Dynasty have? There were no early warnings for natural disasters, and flood relief could actually cause civil unrest!" As he said this, he threw the memorial to Zhu Yunxi, "

Look!"

Zhu Yunxi took it over and looked at it carefully. It was a memorial from the local inspection censor.

The victims of the disaster were everywhere in the Second Prefecture of Jianchang in Fuzhou. There were more than ten thieves named Mu Sheng, who spread rumors to confuse people and took the lead in robbing the government's relief food.

Moreover, because the local relief was not timely, the people were panicked. Wang Musheng and others climbed up to shout out the chaos, gathered thousands of victims, and settled in Xiufeng Mountain and other places in Fuzhou.

The local government mishandled the situation and locked the city gates tightly, not daring to let the victims into the city. Within a few days, more than 20,000 victims had gathered in Xiufeng Mountain.

"Call the people from the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Punishment, and the Supervisory Office!" Zhu Yuanzhang said and strode into Fengtian Hall.

Civil turmoil, when 20,000 hungry people come together, they are like a powder keg that will explode.

If not handled properly, these people will turn into soldiers. At this time, Jiangxi is experiencing disaster. If a riot breaks out, the consequences are unimaginable.

Natural disasters are easy to overcome, but man-made disasters are difficult to stop. Natural disasters will eventually pass, but once someone rebels, life will be ruined.

The rebels want to rob food, kill people, attack cities, and coerce the people. The officers and soldiers who suppress the bandits may not be reassuring in terms of military discipline. The destructiveness of war is far greater than floods.

"Your Highness, what happened?" Xie Jin asked from behind Zhu Yunxi.

"Take a look!" Zhu Yunxi frowned and gave him the memorial.

Then Tie Xuan also came forward and looked at Xie Jin together.

"Civil chaos in Fuzhou?" Xie Jin lost his voice and said, "Next to Fuzhou is Ji'an, my hometown!"

Tie Xuan frowned slightly, "Fuzhou is too confused. Why are you hesitating now? We must mobilize the officers and soldiers of the guard station to eliminate them first! If we give the thieves a chance to grow stronger, it will be a disaster for rogue bandits!"

"The main reason is that the local affairs are not done well, and good things are turned into bad things. They are the foolish officials I just mentioned!" Zhu Yunxi said bitterly, "The biggest fear when providing relief to the victims is that someone will deceive people, and the biggest fear is that ambitious people will take the opportunity to cause chaos.

They are the official side, but they can't think of it? Is it because they can't think of it, or they don't take it seriously?"

With that said, Zhu Yunxi also walked towards the main hall and continued, "When something goes wrong and we can't respond in time, we have to rely on the governor to handle everything. Lock the city gate tightly? Isn't that letting the victims continue to starve? When the Zhezi is sent

There are already 20,000 people, and the hungry victims are already preparing to attack the city!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yunxi saw out of the corner of his eye that on the road next to him, the commander of the Jin Yiwei ordered Jiang Yu to follow a palace man and walk towards this side.

"My lord, see His Highness the King of Wu!" Jiang Yu paid his respects.

"Is the matter done?" Zhu Yunxi asked.

A few days ago, there was a major case in Henan of someone reselling warehoused grain, and Jiang Yu went to arrest the person. Moreover, the old man said that Zhu Yunxi would try the case after the criminal was arrested in the capital.

Jiang Wei looked at Zhu Yunxi and Jie Jin behind him, and saw that Zhu Yunxi did not let them move away. He hesitated and whispered, "Back to Your Highness, this case involved twelve officials from the Chief Secretary of Henan Province down to the Chief Secretary. I will arrest them all and bring them to justice."

More than a hundred family members of the criminal officials were brought back to the capital together!"

Heads are about to roll again. These worms who resell stored grains should be killed! Corrupt officials have always been caught one by one. Henan's officialdom will be an earthquake again.

"Are you going to see Grandpa Huang? Go ahead!"

"My lord, please leave!"

The commander of the Jin Yiwei went to see Zhu Yuanzhang, but because he was not asked to go in to observe, Zhu Yunxi could only stand outside the palace.

Tie Xuan said beside Zhu Yunxi, "Your Highness, is this a case of reselling stored grain?"

This case has become public knowledge, so there is nothing to avoid.

Zhu Yunxi said, "Yes, the emperor said that the arrested criminals will be interrogated by the three divisions, and he asked me to act as his agent!"

"Your Highness, you can't do this!" Tie Xuan said seriously.

"Say!" Zhu Yunxi listened attentively.

"Your Highness, there has just been trouble in Jiangxi, and the Emperor is very angry. The grain selling case in Henan has come to Beijing again. According to the Emperor's temperament, I am afraid that many people..."

Zhu Yunxi understood what he meant, and he also thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would not leave any way for these officials to survive.

"His Royal Highness has a reputation as a wise king in the court." Tie Xuan whispered, "If you really take charge of this case and kill many more people, others may not dare to resent the Emperor, but it will be detrimental to His Highness's reputation!"

"I have already thought of it." Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly, "If you don't kill them, the emperor will be very angry. But if you kill too many, there will always be innocent people implicated."

In fact, the hidden line in Zhu Yunxi's heart is that he is not a grandson yet. If he kills too many people, what will the officials think?

"I have something to say!" Tie Xuan said sternly, "The joint trial of the three divisions in the capital is very involved. Why doesn't His Highness ask for orders to leave the capital?"

Zhu Yunxi's eyes lit up, "Going to Jiangxi?"
