I want to be a grandson

Chapter 144
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "In the future, the guards of the Eastern Palace will be independent and self-contained, and will not be under the jurisdiction of Jinyiwei and Jinwuwei. You are allowed to choose soldiers and horses and appoint officials! No one has the right to interfere!"

Zhu Yunxi seemed to be hanging on his heart, and immediately bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang excitedly, "Grandson, thank you, grandpa, for your success!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said, "Get up quickly, stop thinking about it, you are our grandson..."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't say any more, just stop talking.

"Grandson understands, please rest assured, Grandpa Huang..."

Zhu Yunxi didn't tell the truth either, it's enough for you to know this kind of thing.

Zhu Yunxi quickly changed the subject again and said, "Grandpa Huang, why are you leaving the palace this time? Could it be that Grandpa Huang wants to pay a private visit in a micro-service to understand people's sentiments?"

Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled, "We don't have that kind of leisure and elegance...but it's good to go out of the palace for a walk, and take a private visit in a micro-service, isn't this considered a fake public benefit?"

Zhu Yunxie said: "How could it be? The emperor's grandpa went out of the palace to experience the people's feelings and have fun with the people. This is what a king should have."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said approvingly: "Well, the emperor should really go out more often to understand the sufferings of the people, otherwise the government orders and measures introduced may be completely different from what the people want.

Not only can it not help the people and herdsmen, but it will also increase the burden on the people... It is very good that you can have such awareness! "

Zhu Yunxi said modestly: "My grandson's mediocrity is really not worth mentioning, and he still needs to learn more from Grandpa Huang."

"Hehehe, stop flattering!"

Zhu Yuanzhang took out a memorial from his side, handed it to Zhu Yunxie and said, "This is a secret report from the Jinyiwei, please read it..."

Zhu Yunxi originally stretched out his hand to pick it up, but when he heard it was Jin Yiwei's secret report, he hesitated again, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said: "Just let you see it!!
"Grandson obeys!" Zhu Yunxi carefully took the secret report and opened it to watch.

I saw that what was written on it was that Zhao Mian, Shangshu of Jinyiwei's investigation department, had corrupted the law and embezzled 10 taels of silver.

The so-called "stealing" refers to the behavior of officials or people with some authority to take advantage of their authority to illegally accept property.

Since the Tang Dynasty, taking stolen goods has been one of the "six stolen goods" stipulated by the law. The six stolen goods include receiving money to break the law, receiving money without breaking the law, being imprisoned, robbers, theft and taking stolen goods.

Seeing that it was Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Zhu Yunxi couldn't help but looked at Zhu Yuanzhang worriedly. Seeing his expressionless face, Zhu Yunxi said cautiously, "Grandfather, is there something wrong with Jin Yiwei's investigation?"

Zhu Yuanzhang closed his eyes, obviously unhappy, "You don't have to excuse him, Jin Yiwei's secret report will not be wrong!"

Zhu Yunxie hurriedly said: "Grandfather, Zhao Mian also eats whole grains, and he is not a sage. Even if he is corrupt, it is not surprising. Grandpa, don't think too much..."

The reason why Zhu Yunxi said this is because Zhao Mian is different in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind!

Zhao Mian, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, passed the Hongwu Examination in 17 years, and No. 18 in the 70th year of the Examination.

This result is actually not good among many Jinshi.

However, the speed of Zhao Mian's official promotion was extremely astonishing.
In the 22nd year of Ming Hongwu, Zhao Mian, who was originally from Yiling, served as the prime minister of Dali Temple and the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. This is an official position of the second rank.

In the same year, Zhao Mian was added as an official, taking over Yang Jing's position, and was promoted to Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, and he was a full-time post, from the first rank.

In May of the 23rd year of Hongwu, Zhao Mian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, received an imperial edict, and was transferred to Yang Jing.

In other words, it took Zhao Mian only four years to achieve the position of Shangshu!

Of course, Zhao Mian's ability is one aspect.

But if there is no Zhu Yuanzhang's favor, it is impossible!

His favorite minister is now corrupt and taking stolen goods, no wonder Zhu Yuanzhang wants to check it himself!
It is also because of this that Zhu Yunxi speaks cautiously and comforts him more, so as not to hurt the old man's heart again.

It's like watching others break up, the loved one leaves him, and he doesn't feel anything, and sometimes even criticizes others, and even gloats.

But when it was the turn of the one I loved to leave, it was heartbreaking...

So Zhu Yunxi knew that Zhu Yuanzhang must be out of the palace this time for Zhao Mian, and seeing him in casual clothes, he knew that he must have a look for himself.

People will never give up.

See if the person your favorite minister trusts has really fallen into this!
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at him and said, "Although we love and trust Zhao Mian, we still don't feel sad for him!"

The eyes were a little dim, and a little puzzled, plus three points of anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "In the 15-year empty seal case, they falsely spent the amount and enriched themselves! Embezzling property! Let's execute all the officials in charge of seals in the local yamen! Deputy officers beat a hundred sticks and rushed to the frontier to serve as troops!"

"In 16, Shangshu Kaiji of the Ministry of Punishment accepted a bribe of tens of thousands of taels from a death row prisoner, and we chopped off his head!"

"In 18, Wang Zhi, the minister of the Ministry of War, accepted 23 taels of bribes, and we cut off his head too!"

"This year, Jin Yiwei reported to the Minister of Household Affairs, Zhao Mian, that he was taking bribes and perverting the law!"

Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said angrily: "We don't understand! Although we don't give them much salary, none of them have family property or land! Which one has no business! Which one can't eat!"

"How dare you take so much money and commit crimes! We don't know what's the use of taking so much money if you don't bring it with you when you die! Do you want to pad your coffin for yourself!"

Zhu Yunxi comforted and said: "Grandfather, there is a way that people's hearts are not enough to swallow snakes, and in the end they are alive. People are like this. Greed is in everyone. No matter how harsh the law is, it can't be controlled." eradicated."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his grandson and said, "Then tell me, how can we keep them from being greedy! As long as you have a way, we will agree to whatever you want!"

Zhu Yunxi couldn't help laughing bitterly. Although Zhu Yuanzhang's promise was too tempting, what could he do?

Even in later generations, when the information is so public and the supervision is so detailed, don’t some people still take risks.

What's more, now, because of the factors of news dissemination, there are many things that can't be helped.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him and said: "Aren't you usually a ghost, why don't you work in business!"

Zhu Yunxie said with a wry smile: "Grandfather, greed is the nature of human beings. Even sages dare not say that there is no greed in them. It's just that they have noble characters and didn't do it... But Grandpa, not everyone is a sage." ..."

Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him, curled his lips and said, "If you say it, it means you didn't say it!"

"Uh……"
