Five years of garrison on the border, shocked Zhu Yuanzhang who went south to inspect

Chapter 140 I am going to kill you!

emotion?And how easy it is to send refugees to their hometowns? "

"I knew you were not an honest person, you were talking nonsense."

Li Kuan lowered his eyes and stammered: "My subordinates are just following orders and don't know the specific situation."

Zhu Tuo rubbed his cheek and asked again: "Have there been any strange things in Jin since the death of my third brother?"

Li Kuan pondered for a moment before replying: "I just heard that this time the Mongolian attack was greater than any previous one, and the Mongols lost to the Ming Dynasty. So, they kept mobilizing troops and wanted to take revenge. ."

"You still want to lie to me?"

Zhu Tuo slapped Li Kuan on the face and cursed: "If the Mongolian army was sent out, how could the court not find out? However, I heard that the Mongols have no intention of going to war with the Ming Dynasty."

"I will not deceive Your Majesty."

Li Kuan lost all his teeth and shouted dripping with blood.

Zhu Tuo squinted his eyes slightly, his expression a bit ugly.

Before this, Zhu Tuo thought that although the third child, Zhu Tong I, had something fishy and might even have been harmed by a despicable guy, but now it seems that many people were involved in this matter.

The situation in Jindi is strange.

On the one hand, the imperial court cut off food and supplies during the famine, and gathered all the victims together, and there was also the Mongolian rebellion.

And all this was kept secret in the court.

This... what is this for?

Could it be that some people in Jin State killed the princes in order to rebel?

Zhu Tuo narrowed his eyes and said coldly: "You want to plot rebellion?"

Hearing this, Li Kuan's expression changed and he shouted quickly: "Your Majesty, there will be no traitors. Our Lord Chang Shi does not have the courage or strength."

"And now it's a military system. Every military town is loyal to the imperial court. Most of the generals in the military towns are drawn from the imperial court. If they only rely on a few refugees, how can they resist?"

Zhu Tuo thought about it and thought it made sense.

However, the situation in Jindi is a bit weird.

Li Kuan looked thoughtful and panicked, "According to the speculation of my subordinates, it may be the invasion of the Mongols and the death of King Jin that kept Zhu Tuo and Taiwei very busy."

"It's a big deal to stop the money and arrest the people. Why not report it to the court?"

"He is probably afraid of being punished by the court, so he is searching for refugees everywhere to strengthen the northern defense line and replenish manpower. We don't know about this incident, but he is just preparing for the border."

"What a border plan!"

Zhu Tuo scolded: "The border policy is just to disregard the lives of the people, but to drive them out of their homes and beat them to pieces. And you, sleeping in the open air here, celebrating your mother's birthday?"

"Your Majesty, we have always made money openly.
"Put it down!" came a voice.

Zhu Tuo didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, so he waved his hand and motioned to the Jin Yiwei to take Li Kuan away.

Zhu Tuo took a deep breath and his face became even more ugly. He would not believe Li Kuan's words. After all, it was unrealistic to use refugees to stabilize the border.

"Arrest all the officials in Shunping Mansion, dispatch a large number of imperial guards to find out the news, as well as the officers, businessmen, and landlords in the city, and torture them for the news."

Zhu Tuo said.

"Your Majesty, what are you going to do with those ministers?" Lu Qing said from the side.Zhu Tuo shook his head, frowned and said: "Lu Qing, I have been in Jin for more than ten days, but I saw a scene of devastation.

"Here, these people are domineering and bullying. Moreover, the Mongols are also causing trouble."

"There are really too many things going on in Jin. My father is so stupid that he actually made his third brother the king of Jin. If I had been the king of Jin, I might have destroyed Mongolia long ago.

Lu Qing also understood that Zhu Tuo was in a bad mood at this time, so he did not argue at the moment, and said seriously: "It's not too late. Your Majesty cares about the people of Jin. If you are willing to work hard, you will make the people of Jin rich."

Zhu Tuo glanced at Lu Qing: "What I admire most is that you can bear with me, not that Ziliang."

Zhu Tuo said coldly: "Once they are found guilty of corruption and bending the law, they will be dealt with according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, beheaded, beheaded, and expelled."

"Your Majesty, the Kingdom of Jin is in a state of decay. There must be many ministers involved, and the scope of involvement is also very large. Your Majesty is new to Jin. If you do this, I'm afraid it will arouse the vigilance of other ministers."

"You mean we have no responsibility?"

Lu Qing nodded and persuaded: "Yes, after all, this time, the king came to Jin to find out the death of the king of Chu and Jin. Your Majesty can report those corrupt officials to the court for severe punishment."

"Hmph." Ye Futian shouted coldly.

Zhu Tuo shook his head and said: "My father can make the heads of these traitorous officials roll off, and so can I. As long as one day, the people of Jin will have trouble sleeping and eating. I have always hated evil, if I see those corrupt officials Corrupt officials take bribes, but I turn a blind eye, so why am I not doing the same?"

Lu Qing sighed: "If your Majesty insists on doing this, your subordinates should obey."

What Zhu Tuo saw in Jin made him have many guesses.

Those officials were like maggots of decay in the Ming Empire.

If they are not cleared away, they will starve to death.

At that time, the situations in Lingnan and Shanxi were completely different.

Although Lingnan is barren, there are not so many corruptions and perversions.

The main thing is that the people in Lingnan, whether they are officials or civilians, are very poor, and there is no possibility of corruption.

But Jin is different. As the northwest borderland of the Ming Dynasty, Jin has always been valued by the Ming Dynasty and provided a lot of help to Jin.

This provided opportunities for corrupt officials, who colluded with businessmen to absorb the blood of the court and the people to make their families stronger.Later, he made his subordinates an official and acquired more land and property.

Zhu Yuanzhang has always been ruthless towards corrupt officials, and he could not even skin them to satisfy his hunger, but even so, he could not kill all the corrupt officials.

By the end of the Ming Dynasty, these officials began to annex territory and allowed their cronies to gradually threaten the entire Ming Dynasty.Later, there was no house, no house, no house.

Therefore, although Zhu Tuo came here this time to investigate the death of his third brother Zhu Tong I, Zhu Tuo never thought about letting them leave alive.

Zhu Tuo took over the defense of Shunping Mansion and quickly captured all those people. He worked very efficiently. He kept a close eye on those people and discovered many problems.

All the people with problems will be put in jail.

In particular, Li Kuan, the county magistrate, colluded with many businessmen to amass money and annex land in various ways.But in his eyes, this is just a very ordinary process, and there is nothing wrong with it.

Zhu Tuo was furious and things got serious.

At this time, Yao Guangxiao, who came from Xuping County, heard the news and quickly persuaded: "Your Majesty, please let them go."

"They broke the rules and bullied the weak. How could I let them go?"
