Daming: I help my wife be the empress

Chapter 354 History, Judgment!
Huang Daozhou was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, probably because he didn't expect Auntie Zhu to come up and ask such a question.

Immediately he asked back: "The grassroots heard that Jian Guo claimed that he was destined by heaven and had the great supernatural power to go to future generations, but he knew it 400 years ago. I don't know if it is true or not?"

Auntie Zhu smiled and said: "It is true that we can communicate with future generations because of the destiny. But it is not accurate to say that we have known for 400 years.

Because, since this palace has this supernatural power, the time and space we live in is different from the history of later generations.

Just like Ben Gong, who was originally cut off by the first emperor in history, and then controlled by the Qing captives, and died of depression three years later.

For example, in the battle of Yangzhou, the city was destroyed in four and a half days, and the Qing captives massacred the city in ten days, killing 80 Ming people.

Another example is the Hongguang Dynasty. In the middle of May, Qing soldiers approached the city. Hongguang fled in a hurry. Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi and others offered the city and surrendered.

Another example, Mr., after the city of Nanjing was broken, he returned to his hometown to lead the army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. He was defeated and captured.

Therefore, most of the past 400 years of history that I know will never happen again.

Of course, taking history as a mirror is to know people.

I invite Mr. Shi Zhai to be the minister of the Ministry of Rites because I believe that Mr. Shi can do his best for Ming Dynasty and benefit the common people in this position. "

Experience in the past told Huang Daozhou that what Auntie Zhu said was too unbelievable to believe at all.

But no matter how he looked at it, he didn't think Aimi Zhu was lying.

Besides, he has also experienced the so-called "magic weapons" of future generations such as loudspeakers, walkie-talkies, and electric lights, and they are indeed beyond Da Ming's possession.

So, what Aunt Zhu said is true?
Then he thought of another thing that he never wanted to see, and he couldn't help asking: "Could it be that in the original history, the Qing captured China?"

Auntie Zhu was silent for a while, and said firmly: "With my palace here, the Qing captives will definitely be defeated!"

Now it was Huang Daozhou's turn to be silent.

Because, he has almost believed Zhu Yuxi's words, and because of this, he feels that the Three Views and even what he has learned all his life has been greatly impacted.

He didn't want to face it, but knew he had to.

According to his previous knowledge, he would not want to see the heroine come to court.Because in today's world, women are emperors, and there are indeed many more troubles than men, which will cause more unrest and turmoil in the country.

But if Auntie Zhu is really destined by the destiny, it will be different if she can travel to future generations.

Although Huang Daozhou was a great master of Confucianism in the late Ming Dynasty, his thought was different from Neo-Confucianism in the Song and Ming Dynasties, and also different from Yangming's philosophy of mind.

He was even influenced by the theory of prophecy.

So, after being silent for about a quarter of an hour, Huang Daozhou cupped his hands and said, "I wonder if the grassroots can see the supernatural powers of Jian Guo's communication with future generations?"

Auntie Zhu said with a smile, "Of course."

Immediately, he went back to the later life, and came over after a while, but brought another batch of walkie-talkies.

Then, she showed the video of Chongzhen's imperial edict to Huang Daozhou.

Even though Huang Daozhou was demoted from office to civilian several times because he hated Chongzhen, and was even banished to Guizhou with Xie Xuelong because he opposed Yang Sichang, but seeing the video of Chongzhen's edict at this time, thinking that Chongzhen had died for the country, he still couldn't help but Feeling inexplicable, eyes moist.

After reading it, he immediately knelt down to Aunt Zhu and said, "Huang Daozhou is willing to take the post of Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites!"

"Mr. Shi Zhai, please get up." Zhu Yu helped Huang Dao Zhou Xu up, and said: "Then I will entrust the master to handle the enthronement of this palace."

After Huang Daozhou got up, he asked, "I wonder if Jian Guo has any requirements for the enthronement ceremony?"

Aimee Zhu didn't expect Huang Daozhou to ask such a question, but after thinking about it carefully, Huang Daozhou's thoughts and conduct were a bit unorthodox compared to the Confucian scholars of the Ming Dynasty, so it is not unusual for him to ask such a question.

She then said: "The matter of etiquette can be compared with that of my Emperor Ming, but I hope that all aspects can be simplified as much as possible. One is to avoid wasting too much energy on the palace and the officials, and the other is to avoid wasting people and money."

After hearing this, Huang Daozhou praised, "Guoguo Shengming."

Aunt Zhu smiled, and said again: "For the convenience of work, I have solar lamps and reading glasses for later generations here in this palace, so I gave them to Mr. Shi Zhai."

Although Huang Daozhou couldn't understand what it was, he knew that it must be a treasure since it was brought by Auntie Zhu from later generations.

Immediately thanked him and said: "Thank you for the reward from Jian Guo."

After that, Aunt Zhu asked Linglong to take Huang Daozhou to choose reading glasses...

After Huang Daozhou left, Zhu Wei not only sighed: "I never thought that I could convince a great Confucian scholar so easily. You must know that he confronted my father several times in court, and my father loved and hated him so much. Summoned and banished several times."

Hao Guangming said: "In fact, with your current situation in Daming, many things will no longer follow common sense. Because your strength, prestige, and ability are already strong enough to change the world's concept."

Auntie Zhu nodded, "This makes what I have to do a little easier."

"But there's so much more you can do."

···
On May [-], Gu Yanwu walked out of the compound where he was under house arrest.

Looking back, Gu Yanwu couldn't help feeling quite emotional when he saw those colleagues and petty officials who were chained up and taken to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

An hour ago, in the compound where they were under house arrest, these military officials and petty officials had a very quick interrogation.

It was the imperial court who recruited private accountants, and it took only three days to check the accounts of the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of War.

Through the problems in the accounts, it is easy to get evidence of the corruption of these officials.

In addition, a few days earlier, there were still a few officials who were not strong-willed and collapsed on the floor when they were under house arrest. They were interrogated and gave a lot of confessions.

Under the testimony in court, these corrupt officials could not quibble and could only bow their heads and plead guilty.

Gu Yanwu really didn't expect that Princess Jian Guo would have such great courage and use such an ingenious method to clean up the corrupt officials in the Ministry of Household and Ministry of War in one fell swoop.

Going back to the top, there are only two emperors in Ming Dynasty, Hongwu and Yongle, who are so courageous in investigating and dealing with corruption.

Shaking his head at the backs of those corrupt officials, Gu Yanwu straightened his clothes and went back to his residence...
Hall of Martial Arts.

Xie Xuelong is reporting to Zhu Yu the results of the trial of corrupt officials from the Ministry of Household and Ministry of War.

"After the trial, there are 87 officials who have corroborated evidence of corruption in the household department, ranging from the assistant minister to the assistant envoy of the household department warehouse in Jiupin.

Among them, 21 were sentenced to beheading, 53 were sentenced to exile, and 13 were sentenced to demolishing officials for civilians.

Those who beheaded and exiled all ransacked their homes, and those who demolished officials for civilians had to pay twice the amount of money they had embezzled within a time limit.Those who exceed the deadline will be forced to recover the fine by the government. "

Having said that, Xie Xuelong stopped.

Aunt Zhu then asked: "There are only 110 and [-] officials in the household department?"

Solving Longdao: "There are twelve official positions that are vacant, so there are actually one hundred and three people."

Auntie Zhu couldn't help sighing and shaking her head, "One hundred and three officials, there are 87 corrupt officials.

I'm afraid the remaining dozen or so may not all be clean, maybe it's just that the greed is more secretive, so I didn't check it this time.

As the country's money bag, the Ministry of Household Affairs is full of corrupt officials, so it's no wonder that the country's affairs are not corrupted. "

Xie Xuelong said: "Corruption cannot be eradicated even when Taizu was alive. Only by cleaning up and eliminating corrupt officials from time to time can the officialdom be corrected."

Auntie Zhu nodded.

Hao Guangming on the other side was thinking, fortunately, Xie Xuelong didn't put all the blame on the emperor.If Xie Xuelong did this, Hao Guangming would suggest that Auntie Zhu change to the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

"What about the corruption of officials in the household department?" Zhu Yu asked.

Xie Xuelong said: "There are currently 570 and eight officials in the Ministry of Household Affairs, and as many as 490 and nine people involved in corruption!
After trial, 440 people were sentenced to beheading, [-] and [-] people were sentenced to exile, and all of them ransacked their homes! "

When Xie Xuelong was reporting, Zhu Yuxi was also looking at the relevant trial records.

Hearing the words, he said: "I'm afraid there are far more than a hundred of these petty officials who should be beheaded?"

Judging from the trial records, most of the officials accepted bribes, while the officials directly used the means of stealing, misappropriating, and selling to embezzle the state treasury silver and other assets. According to the current Ming law, they would be sentenced more severely than officials.

Of course, if the punishment was strict according to the laws of Hongwu, it would be light for these people to beheaded, and most of them would have to be skinned.

Xie Xuelong said: "Earlier, the Supervisory State once said that this trial should mainly focus on ransacking homes and exile. Therefore, although there are many petty officials who have committed serious crimes, in order to avoid excessive killings at one time, only the most culpable will be selected if there is peace in the sky. The top fifty will be beheaded."

Aunt Zhu frowned, and said: "I said so, but it was for you to operate within the scope permitted by the law.

How can those who should be beheaded clearly for their crimes be let go?
If more criminals are killed, there will be peace in heaven, but how innocent are the people who have been harmed by their crimes?If corrupt officials are allowed to harm the common people, won't there be peace in heaven! "

When it came to the end, Aimee Zhu's voice was stern.

Although Xie Xuelong is an old minister, this is the first time he sees Aimee Zhu speak harshly.

Even though he didn't intend to favor those officials who committed crimes, he still couldn't help trembling in his heart, and hurriedly knelt down to plead guilty, "This minister misinterpreted the holy will, and I still ask the prison to come down."
