Chapter 256 Shocking

Lin Cunde reminded Zhu Ji, and Zhu Ji nodded and said that Yu Qian would treat Lin Cunde to dinner!

"Well, I'll definitely go when I have time. It doesn't matter. You can come to my house to eat!" Lin Cunde said with a smile. Lin Cunde still admired Yu Qian!

Zhu Ji smiled and nodded. He knew that Lin Cunde respected Yu Qian very much. However, Yu Qian then said: "Anyway, many people from the Jinyiwei were sent out. Lu Zhong didn't even know where they went. It is estimated that the nature of their mission is similar to mine." !”

"Don't tell me, I don't want to hear these things. Anyway, you know it yourself, just pay attention to your safety!" Lin Cunde waved his hand, not wanting to listen anymore.

After Zhu Ji heard this, he laughed.

Soon, Zhu Ji left. He knew that Lin Cunde was very busy, and Lin Cunde needed to go to the palace tomorrow to report to Zhu Qiyu.

In the evening, Wang Chenghai took the usual tour of the mansion and then returned to his residence. After washing, he went to the study. He was very tired today. Fortunately, Lin Cunyi and Lin Cunli helped him. Otherwise, he would be too busy alone. Today, he mainly focused on the concierge and getting to know the guests! After finishing taking care of the guests, I followed Lin Cunli to arrange the meals!

"Are you busy? I heard that many guests came to the front yard today!" Yang entered the study and brought some snacks.

"Well, I'm so busy. I really don't know how powerful my cousin is unless I come to the capital. Even the officials of the third rank can't get in. The people who entered the mansion today are mainly cabinet ministers and nobles! I heard what my second brother said. The meeting will be even busier in the future, and it is estimated that the reward will come out soon. Once it comes, the mansion will be hosting a banquet for guests!" Wang Chenghai sighed as he sat there.

"Is my cousin so powerful?" Yang was a little confused. After all, she came from a small place. Although she knew that the count was very powerful, she couldn't imagine how powerful he was!

"Well, it's pretty cool anyway, let's do it here! No more talking, I'll read some books. My cousin has a lot of books there. I won't be busy in a few days. I'll go to my cousin's study to find some books to read!" Wang Chenghai Waving his hand, he was still a scholar and wanted to study to gain fame.

After hearing this, Mrs. Yang didn't say anything and was busy beside her. The child was taken to bed by her maid.

Mrs. Yang likes this place very much. There are four servants here, and the work is not tiring. The main thing is to keep an eye on the servants working and keep an eye on those things, don’t lose them!

The next morning, after Lin Cunde woke up, he took Lin Cunli to the palace!

Lin Cunde had just arrived at Zuoyemen, and those royal guards saluted Lin Cunde very respectfully!

Lin Cunde smiled and nodded, and walked straight inside. A hundred households came over and said to Lin Cunde: "Sir, your Majesty gave instructions early in the morning. If Uncle Luling comes, just go directly to the Imperial Study Room of Qianqing Palace!"

"Okay!" Lin Cunde nodded!

The hundred households led the way, and Lin Cunde also walked inside.

I met some officials on the road, and those officials bowed their hands to Lin Cunde, and Lin Cunde returned the favor.

Soon, Lin Cunde followed Baihu to the outside of Qianqing Palace. Cheng Jing saw Lin Cunde and hurriedly came over and held his hands in his hands, saying: "Uncle Luling, Your Majesty has been waiting for you. Please come this way!"

"Hey, thanks to your hard work, I became father-in-law!" Lin Cunde said quickly with his hands in hand.

Soon, Lin Cunde entered the imperial study. Zhu Qiyu was already making tea. When he saw Lin Cunde coming, he stood up with a smile!

Lin Cunde quickly walked over, raised his hands to Zhu Qiyu and said, "Your Majesty, Lin Cunde, pays homage to you!"

"Without ceremony, come and sit down. Haha, Cheng Jing, you all go out. I won't see anyone this morning. In addition, inform the queen that I will treat Cunde to dinner at noon and ask her to send someone to prepare it!" Zhu Qiyu said to After Lin Cunde finished speaking, he began to give instructions to Cheng Jing.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Jing immediately handed over and walked out!

Lin Cunde and Zhu Qiyu were the only ones left in the study.

"Come on, Cunde, sit down and say, haha!" Zhu Qiyu was very happy. He had been looking forward to Lin Cunde's return.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Lin Cunde handed over again.

"Just call me brother-in-law, there is no one else! After breakfast, I will make tea here and wait for you to come over. I have many things to discuss with you!" Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said to Lin Cunde.

Lin Cunde smiled and nodded: "Yes, brother-in-law, whatever you need me to do, I will just tell you!"

"Well, I have received all the evidence you sent over about the Supreme Emperor. I also know that the opportunity has come, but I want to wait, but I can't stop. Once it is stopped and started again, those civil servants may I have an idea. I want to strike while the iron is hot and let the civil servants investigate the treason of the Supreme Emperor, but I can’t do it too fast.

I want to wait until the queen has given birth to a child. If it is a prince, I know it in my heart. If it is a princess, I also need to find a way to delay the establishment of the heir for a few years. I am just worried about this matter, and the civil servants will not agree! "Zhu Qiyu sat there and told Lin Cunde about the matter first. "Your Majesty, this matter is easy to handle. Let the civil servants investigate it. Isn't Shang Ren investigating it now? It is estimated that the punishment will not last for a month or two. After the investigation comes back, we still need to discuss the punishment plan. This plan, however, is the final decision of His Majesty, so we can just leave it to the civil servants below to discuss! In this way, another month or two! After the matter is concluded, the action of abolishing the crown prince can be launched. There must be a basis for abolishing the crown prince, and let the civil servants propose it!

Once they put it forward, if the reason is valid, His Majesty can allow it!

As for the establishment of a crown prince, this is His Majesty's business. I dare not make too many remarks! Although the crown prince is related to the country, it is His Majesty's family matter after all. Whoever Your Majesty wants to appoint will naturally be based on Your Majesty's will! " Lin Cunde said very carefully. Of course he hopes to make Wang Meilin's son the prince, but now who knows whether the child in Wang Meilin's belly is a son or a daughter!

Moreover, as a relative, Lin Cunde did not dare to interfere too much. There were many lessons from history, and Lin Cunde did not want to be a powerful minister!

"Well, that's right. However, I still have to wait for the matter of establishing the crown prince. I am still young, the queen is also young, and there are other princes to provide protection, so don't worry!" Zhu Qiyu nodded and approved Lin Cunde's plan.

"Yes, there is really no rush!" Lin Cunde nodded.

"Then I will do as you say. I will ask the cabinet to send a document to Shangluo and ask Shangluo to investigate the treason of the Supreme Emperor in Liaodong Town. This matter will be confirmed!" Zhu Qiyu said a little excitedly. He wanted to depose the crown prince before, but I have never been able to find a reason. Who would have thought that Zhu Qizhen would take the initiative to send one!

"Yes!" Lin Cunde said with his hands in hand!

Zhu Qiyu continued to pour tea for Lin Cunde, and then said: "The other thing is the matter of civil servants, please take a look!"

Zhu Qiyu said that he gave all the things that Zhu Ji had investigated before to Lin Cunde, and said: "It will take a long time to read it all. You read the front first. Most of the information at the back is evidence, and the last one is This book is worth reading, it contains the news that Zhu Ji heard, but he couldn’t find out!”

"Ah?" Lin Cunde looked up at Zhu Qiyu. Did Zhu Ji investigate?

"You watch first! I must rectify the official administration, but how to rectify it and who will rectify it are both big problems!" Zhu Qiyu motioned to Lin Cunde to watch.

Lin Cunde could only turn it over and look at it. It didn't matter. Lin Cunde was so angry that he almost vomited blood. It was shocking that so many officials were suspected of corruption. Moreover, many people didn't care about the lives of the people at all. Even the disaster relief food was corrupted. What do you think? Corruption is okay, but you can't deceive people like this. Some officials don't even distribute food and watch the people starve to death!

These people were so courageous that even Lin Cunde could not imagine them.

Some officials actually rushed into the warehouse with bad grain and sold the good grain handed over by the people!

In addition, those who manage silk and those officials who manage the Weaving Bureau have endless corruption methods!

Lin Cunde kept frowning at the information, wishing he could take people there and kill all the officials' families!

"Phew!" Lin Cunde breathed a long sigh of relief after reading the first and last books!

"It's shocking. It took me most of a day to read this. After watching it for a while, I became angry and had to adjust it again! This is only the situation in Zhejiang and Jiangxi provinces. The other two capitals and eleven provinces are What does it look like? I can't imagine that the officials of our Ming Dynasty have actually fallen to such an extent! If the people of our Ming Dynasty are not in chaos, it will be very good. No wonder the people in various places are rebelling in endlessly and suppressing them. The people have lost their vitality and do not rise up. It's also a dead end!" Zhu Qiyu sat there and said with a deep sigh.

"Your Majesty, all of these people must be investigated. Officials from these two provinces should be used as a warning to warn officials all over the world! Moreover, this matter, um, Your Majesty, please let me think about it!" Lin Cunde said, wanting to stand up and want to Walk around and think about it.

"It's just the two of us here, you can do whatever you want!" Zhu Qiyu saw that Lin Cunde wanted to stand up, so he took the initiative to say.

"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Lin Cunde said, standing up and walking in the imperial study room with his hands behind his back, thinking about this matter.

After thinking about it, Lin Cunde took out the information and looked at it again, trying to prove some things in his heart!

In this way, Lin Cunde walked around in the imperial study for a quarter of an hour before he came to Zhu Qiyu, cupped his hands and said: "I have an idea, I don't know whether I should say it or not. It is estimated that the ministers will have great opinions on this idea, but if it is implemented well , My Ming Dynasty’s taxes will increase significantly. Of course, this idea also has a plan to increase the income of local officials!”

"You can say whatever you want, there's nothing you can't say!" Zhu Qiyu said to Lin Cunde.

"Your Majesty, look at these officials. As long as they are corrupt officials, they have purchased large amounts of land. If you calculate carefully, the corrupt officials in Jiangxi Province who have been identified now own a total of no less than 10 million acres of land. These are still corrupt officials, but are there any officials who are not corrupt?

For example, I have bought thousands of acres of land in my hometown, but I don’t have to do corvee service. Moreover, since ancient times, there has been a saying that those who died because of labor and those who did not die because of wealth! Lin Cunde looked at Zhu Qiyu and said carefully.

"Well! Is there something wrong? Didn't you say before that you should distribute these lands to the landless people? You are doing the same now!" Zhu Qiyu looked at Lin Cunde in confusion.
