Emperor Ming's grandson

Chapter 440
As the emperor, Zhu Yunying can be regarded as quite thoughtful, and he also feels that now is the best time for him to display it.

Because the foreign race once plundered the land of China, a lot of power was eliminated, and many concepts were also reversed.The most important thing is that Lao Zhu's majesty is too great, which can make Zhu Yunying's resistance to reform less.

The predecessors planted trees and the descendants enjoyed the shade, Zhu Yunying felt that there was no problem, and he felt at ease about what he wanted to do now.

As for encountering some small resistance in the process, or encountering some people's disapproval, Zhu Yunying didn't think there was anything to be concerned about.

Many things are not so easy. If everything is so smooth, then there will be a lot less fun, a lot less sense of accomplishment, or it will make people feel boring.

Zhu Yunying really felt that he should be ruthless about the issue of the administration of officials.This is probably also because he wants to make some changes and needs a relatively stable environment. He doesn't want to stop his progress because of those things.

"Qizou Your Majesty, the Taishang Emperor had a decree in the past: in order to cherish the lives of the people, all officials who have corrupted more than 60% of the money will be executed, and no loan will be given!" It ran rampant, and even at the beginning of the country, there was also corruption. The Supreme Emperor used heavy codes, and the corruption was curbed."

This can also be regarded as a fact. Corruption in the early Ming Dynasty was indeed serious. Lao Zhu's severe crackdown on corrupt officials still couldn't stop some people from continuing to run amok.

Bao Zhao continued, "In the past, Zhu Liangzu colluded with the Hu thieves, bullied the market, and colluded with tyrants. Then Guo Huan and others stole and sold official food. The empty seal case often involved deception and fraud."

These can be regarded as typical cases of dealing with corrupt officials in the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Liangzu, a meritorious official, was punished, and the Guo Huan and Kong Yin cases were large-scale, and they did have a very special warning effect.

At this time, Zhu Yunying also spoke slowly, and said, "I also know that all of you love ministers also had ambitions at the beginning, and wanted to govern the country and the people. Those scholars who came here also wanted to be famous and famous in the history after ten years of cold windows. It's just this People's hearts are fickle, and some people forget their original intentions once they become officials."

At this time, many civil servants seemed to be listening attentively. The words of the emperor had touched their hearts to some extent. Many scholars originally had such ambitions.

As for those warriors, it's hard to say, let's not say that the people in the court today are basically the second and third generations of martial arts, and I have long forgotten that my family was born with mud legs.These people can be regarded as 'nobles', and they have no empathy for many common people.

Zhu Yunying didn't care, and continued, "Before I ascended the throne in the past, I used to walk around. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials read with me, and I also went to his mansion. I was very poor. The court support should be rich, Honor, this is also the reason why I have proposed to increase the salaries of officials several times before."

As soon as the voice came, it aroused a lot of praise, which can be said to have touched the hearts of many officials.

Although some of these civil and military officials also had good family backgrounds, it was just that the salary and treatment of the imperial court was too low, that is, they barely lived as a family.If there is a welcome to send, it would be really embarrassing.

If it weren't for the slight increase in salary by the imperial court before, it is estimated that some officials from poor families would have a hard time that day.It can only be said that Emperor Hongwu was too harsh on officials. He was so stingy that he even asked officials to prepare their own official uniforms.

At this time, Zhu Yunying continued, "The court's support of scholars is to respect the virtuous and draw materials. I just hope that all the lovers will not forget the words of the saints, and do not disappoint the court's will."

This can be regarded as a small beating, although many people may dismiss such reminders, but Zhu Yunying still needs to tell these reminders to all civil and military officials.

Zhu Yunying did not intend to be polite to corrupt officials.Because some people like this don't know how to be satisfied at all, and don't expect them to wake up one day.

Even if they came to their senses, they would cry bitterly when they were trapped.It wasn't that they realized their mistake, but that they were dying.Or at those times, they were still thinking that they were not secretive, so they died.

"This time the Metropolitan Procuratorate inspected the Quartet, and many corruptions are still common." Zhu Yunying said with a bit of grief, "I also know that there are many rumors in the officialdom and the people that the Supreme Emperor is too strict. I just want to say that if the Supreme Emperor does not act vigorously and resolutely, I'm afraid this corruption will be even more rampant!"

Many people may scoff at it, thinking that Lao Zhu's administration of officials is too strict.

Just think about it, Lao Zhu's eradication of corruption lasted for a long time, with strict measures, ruthless methods, cruel punishments, and many murders, which are rarely seen in thousands of years of feudal history.But even so, batch after batch of corrupt officials were killed, and even Lao Zhu wondered if he did something wrong, why did he raise so many corrupt officials? !

In the final analysis, those people are not afraid of death, and it is also because the previous dynasty was too poisonous.If it weren't for Lao Zhu's strong determination to fight corruption, things like corruption would inevitably expand infinitely. Maybe the Ming Dynasty would cause another public resentment and turmoil because of those corrupt officials!
Zhu Yunying was very calm, looked at Ru Yu and said, "Ru Aiqing, you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and you are in charge of the administration of officials. This time, the Ministry of Procuratorate will deal with it first. If you fail to satisfy me, you will have your own horse. "

This time, not only did Ru Xun's hair stand on end for a moment, but all civil and military officials also felt a chill down their backs at this moment.

These officials couldn't be more clear about how brutal the Jinyiwei was back then.That is to say, Jin Yiwei was slightly restricted in the past few years, which made Jin Yiwei seem to lose its previous prestige.

It's just that who dares to underestimate Jin Yiwei, and now these people have never forgotten the terrifying scene of Tiqi flying around.

Ru Xun knew that if she didn't handle it well this time, not to mention the emperor's dissatisfaction, what was more important was the subsequent chain reaction.

It was hard for Jin Yiwei to be subject to some restrictions. If he can't handle some things well now, Jin Yiwei will 'recover' again.Ru Yu can be sure that even if he is the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, he will still make all the officials resent and criticize him.

This matter must be brought under control, the emperor must not be allowed to use the Jinyiwei, and the Jinyiwei must not be allowed to take over the world again!

There's nothing wrong with being nervous, but it's not a good thing for those in power if they don't have a certain amount of fear.

The tone seems to have been settled now. For the thirteen censors who were ordered to inspect this time, their task is to do a good job as a censor.

This is not only to emphasize the clean and clear administration of officials again, but also to investigate Daming's household registration and farmland more, which is also to get a thorough understanding of Zhu Yunying's next series of reforms.

These are all things that Zhu Yunying thinks are very important. Only when she has figured out her belongings can she arrange the next things.

Zhu Yunying seemed to be in a good mood, and didn't say anything more.But for many people, there is no way to be so comfortable at this time. For them, it seems that a storm is about to come, and they have to be careful.

Let alone other things, now is the autumn harvest stage.According to the tax system of Ming Dynasty, now is the time to collect the autumn tax.If there is any moth at this time, it is obvious that it hits the muzzle of the gun, and it will be an out-and-out trouble.

In addition, many people have guessed that the emperor had actually expressed his dissatisfaction with the two tax laws before.If the emperor caught the handle, it would inevitably lead to a great situation, and it would definitely be a moment that made many people tremble with fear.

What's more, now that the censor is patrolling the world, many moths have been caught. This is the time to rectify the administration of officials.

Even if you think about it, you can understand that in the current situation.It doesn't mean Zhe protects himself, but he certainly can't do anything wrong.The imperial court now wants to kill the chickens to scare the monkeys. The imperial court needs the heads of some corrupt officials to deter all civil and military officials.

Zhu Yunying doesn't mind what these people think, he just needs some of his own plans to be carried out step by step.

The wind and rain are coming, it really has no effect on Zhu Yunying, he doesn't need to worry.

After returning to the East Palace, Zhu Yunying went to Lian Qiongqiong's bedroom, which could be regarded as a kind of affirmation for Lian Zining.This Zuodu censor is doing his work steadily, and he has completed the tasks assigned by Zhu Yunying very well, that's all.

Sometimes it is not necessarily because mothers are more expensive than children, and most of the time it is because of their excellent family background that these women will have a higher status in their husband's family.

Zhu Yunying still likes Lian Qiongqiong, a gentle, well-educated and reasonable lady.

If a woman is beautiful, this is naturally a kind of capital.But if it is just beautiful without any connotation, it will easily make people lose patience.Especially in the imperial palace, there is never a shortage of all kinds of beauties, many of which are specially prepared for the emperor's aesthetics.

So Zhu Yunying thinks that he is not a vulgar person, he does not only look at the outside, he still attaches great importance to the inner beauty.

"Father." Zhu Ruyi lay on Zhu Yunying's lap, looking up at her plump little face, she was very happy.

Zhu Yunying chuckled, and tugged at Zhu Ruyi's baby fat face, "Ruyi, it's almost our birthday, but have you prepared a birthday gift for us?"

Zhu Ruyi didn't understand these things, she just smiled happily.Although Zhu Yunying didn't take Zhu Ruyi with her all the time, this little girl could also feel Zhu Ruyi's favor and was very close to Zhu Yunying.

Lian Qiongqiong looked at Zhu Yunying and asked with a smile, "Your Majesty, do you want a big banquet for this year's birthday?"

Zhu Yunying thought for a while and said, "Forget it, we're only so young, so there's no need to worry about it."
