Daming heir

In the canopy hall.

The emperor's grandson's voice was very familiar to everyone.

Zhan Hui and others turned their backs to the palace gate, but they were terrified when they heard it.

Why did the grandson of the emperor come to the Huagai Palace suddenly?
Originally, Zhan Hui and others were full of surprise and surprise that Prince Yan would be in Huagai Palace.

Now I see that the grandson is also here.

For a while, Zhan Hui and the others felt guilty for no reason.

It was as if they were about to do something, but they were caught on the spot before they did it.

No.

It's not that they haven't done it yet, but they have impeached Yan Shizi just now.

"Your Highness..."

"Your Majesty, I will see you..."

Zhan Hui and the others had tense faces, and turned around to look at Zhu Yunxi who was walking in, feeling a palpitation in their hearts.

Looking behind the grandson, there are two young eunuchs in the palace, each holding a stack of memorials.

Zhu Yunxi looked at the group of scholars and ministers, and nodded: "You are welcome."

Then he turned to the two young eunuchs who were following behind him, and waved his finger to the place where the old man handled the government memorials: "Put it on the prince's side first."

After finishing the order, Zhu Yunxi walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Grandson sees grandpa."

"Forget it." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled brightly, and squinted at the eldest grandson standing in front of him: "At this time, you are here with grandpa, and you are also here to eat?"

The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face became even brighter: "Isn't it just a coincidence, my grandson hasn't eaten a single grain of rice since last night."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his eyes, and stared: "Sun Dog, why don't you hurry up and ask someone to bring the meal over."

Sun Gou'er nodded his head in a hurry, turned his head in response and left the side hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang held Zhu Yunxi with a smile on his face, and let him sit beside him: "The chicken soup from Luzhou Mansion that Xu's boy stewed just this morning, I can eat more later."

Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a bright face: "It's still grandpa who remembers his grandson."

It's just that he sighed slightly in his heart, pretending to be too tired.

The rice noodles in chicken soup that I ate just before entering the palace, I am afraid that I will have to eat a whole chicken later to satisfy the old man.

On the other side, Zhan Hui and others looked at the harmony and affection between the grandparents of the Tian family, but they were full of bitterness.

Just because of the impeachment of Prince Yan, the co-authors were in a tense atmosphere, but now they are nothing?
Zhan Hui coughed lightly, and looked at Yu Xin, a scholar of Wenhua Palace and Minister of the Household Department, indifferently.

Yu Xin was also a little hesitant at this time.

Now His Majesty is still in the mood to tease his grandchildren, and if he disturbs others at this time, he may be in trouble.But it’s impossible not to mention the matter, just now I had sharp eyes, and I clearly saw that among the memorials brought by the grandson, there was a memorial to him impeaching Prince Yan.

Now is the most uncomfortable time.

Yu Xin stepped forward silently, coughed lightly, and bowed: "His Majesty, just now His Highness talked about our impeachment of Prince Yan, and I thought there was some refute."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "Ah, there is another matter, please tell me, let's listen."

Zhu Yunxi also left his seat at this time, and stood aside with sullen hands.

Yu Xin nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The ministers and others are the deputy tax director of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Taxation Office, Wan Jinbiao, who was involved in the case and exterminated the family. The occurrence of such incidents in the Shangyuan County Branch of the tax office shows the normal management style of the tax office.

The ministers thought that, at such a young age, Yan Shizi was in vain to take on the tax office and other matters related to the state and society. It was inevitable that he would be unfamiliar.

Now that there was a murder case, the ministers thought that the imperial court, out of emotion and reason, should declare the canonical punishment and return the common people to justice.It is also possible to correct errors and stop losses as soon as possible, so as to avoid future troubles with state organs such as the tax office. "

According to Yu Xin, Zhan Hui and the others, although Yan Shizi was impeached, the target must be the tax office.

It highlights the importance of the tax office in Daming today, which in turn attracts attention.

Zhu Yunxi narrowed his eyes slightly, Yu Xin and his colleagues were very precise in their remarks, they only mentioned the importance of the tax office, and they still brought out the problems that the Central Plains politics are passionate about, so as to prevent problems before they happen.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already leaning on his back, had a gloomy gaze, and slowly rubbed his fingers together.

"This statement is justified. The state's public instruments cannot be changed, so we must be careful."

Zhan Hui frowned, and immediately took a step forward: "I believe that the imperial court should be cautious when dealing with the tax office. This reform of the local grain chief is something that benefits the billions of people in the world, but it also has a bearing on the entire Ming Dynasty. The most important matters in the thirteen regions, if you are not careful, it will cause an uproar."

After finishing speaking, Zhan Hui frowned and sighed softly: "Now in Yingtian City, an important place in the capital, there is a member of the tax bureau branch who is involved in the extermination case. If the court does not spread the news in a fair manner, the people should What do you think?

The Li family whose family was wiped out, the ministers and others also consulted the archives of Ying Tianfu's documents. no problem.

Such a family died at the hands of the people in the tax office. How will the tax office promote reform in the future? "

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the couch, his eyes flicked from Zhan Hui and others, and finally to Zhu Gaochi who was sitting with the prince.

Zhu Yunxi frowned.

Obviously, at this point, the demands of the court have become clear.

Zhan Hui and the others want to intervene in the tax office, and want to have the power of the tax office, or to participate in the distribution of profits, instead of being completely independent from the court as it is now, and being in charge of the chief of the clan.

Zhan Hui and his civil servants want to have more power, or to go further, they hope that the monarch will have less power directly.

For more than 20 years, the civil servants of Ming Dynasty have long been tired of having a king who is meticulous and does not show any affection in front of the law.

It was only because the king held a bloody butcher knife in his hand that they didn't show it.But once they are given the opportunity, they will always involuntarily want to test the feasibility.

Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, there are other reasons for the extermination case of Wan Jinbiao, Deputy Taxation Division of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Customs Administration."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves and took a step back, turned his head and looked at Zhan Hui and others indifferently: "The tax office is also the one who suffers! The minister in charge of the tax office is going to appeal for the tax office in front of His Majesty today! More importantly, I want to refute the court's grievances." Gentlemen, without any distinction between indiscriminate and indiscriminate, the human life lawsuit was held on the head of my tax office.

There are thousands of officials in the tax office, who go to the countryside for many months, pass through the house three times and never enter, just for the Ming Dynasty, they don't say they have merit, but they have worked hard. Now there is no public examination, and the tax office is harsh. All officials can be described as chilling. "

Zhan Hui and the others were beating wildly in their hearts. They clearly knew that since the grandson came here today, he must be speaking for the tax office.

Yu Xin even stepped forward involuntarily, and was about to speak.

But seeing Taisun has already stretched out his hand, staring at himself quietly.

Zhu Yunxi suppressed Yu Xin who was about to speak, turned around and walked towards his father, seeing that Xiaopang had stood up at this time, he stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder.

Then he bowed to the prince and said, "Father."

Zhu Biao nodded silently, looking at the memorials brought by his son just now.

Zhu Yunxie had already picked up the basic memorials at this time, and opened them one by one under the eyes of everyone: "This is the memorial of the minister of the Ministry of Industry to impeach the tax office and Yan Shizi, this is the memorial of the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, and this is the memorial of the doctor of the Ministry of Industry." Playbook."

"These are the memorabilia of the Minister of the Household Department and the deployment officials."

"These are from the Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the deployment of officials."

"These books belong to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."

"There are also these, which involve the impeachment of our tax office and Yan Shizi by the various divisions of the five temples of the imperial court."

Zhu Yunxi reported who submitted the memorandum piece by piece.

Then, he slapped heavily on the table.

His gaze also darkened in an instant: "If I hadn't happened to meet the envoy when I entered the palace today, I wouldn't have known that so many memoirs would impeach me from the tax office and Prince Yan." of."

"When did the Ming Dynasty actually give birth to the trend of impeachment that has not yet been punished and punished!"

Zhu Yunxi stepped forward again, his eyes became more gloomy, and his tone became more pressing: "What do you want to do? Are you going to start a party struggle!"

Boom.

In the canopy hall, the atmosphere suddenly felt like falling into a cold winter ice cellar.

dong dong dong.

Zhan Hui and the others knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in an instant.

"The ministers are only worried about the court because of the tax office, and think about the Ming Dynasty. There is absolutely no intention of party struggle."

After finishing speaking, several people fell to the ground.

Party struggle, this is something no one dares to mention, let alone touch.

What happened to the death of the former Song Dynasty?

The emperor has no virtue, the court is treacherous, and the party is united in attacking dissidents.

And there is one thing that has to be admitted, that is, every time the former Song Dynasty tried to reform the court situation, it would trigger large-scale party disputes, and then the various new policies would end without a problem, or backfired.

And the country, also in the midst of this time and again struggle, is coming to an end.

Party struggle is the biggest taboo in court.

However, Zhu Yunxi pressed him step by step: "Since there is no partisanship in the heart, why did the court officials believe that the case was committed by Wan Jinbiao when the facts of the case were not clear? Could it be that Jin Yiwei found out the whole story of the case and told you all? "

"Today's case is unknown, yet the imperial court is able to denounce the tax office and Yan Shizi who has served the country so aggressively. In the future, will it be possible for individuals to speculate arbitrarily and impeach the court colleagues for no reason?"

"In the future, there will be a corruption case in the local area, can Gu also impeach your official department directly!"

"Or, if there is half a cent of the tax collection every year, you can be held accountable to your household department?"

"Every year in turn, there will always be incidents, and even people's lives. Can the responsibility be attributed to the Ministry of War?"

"There was a family extermination case in Taiping, but Yingtian Mansion didn't even notice it. It didn't give half a warning. As a local government, Yingtian Mansion went up and down, including Shangyuan County. Shouldn't they all be exiled outside the Great Wall!"

"Above the court, they moved upon hearing the wind, regardless of the reason, and indiscriminately framed the bureaucrats of the same dynasty wantonly. The fair laws of the Ming Dynasty are still in your eyes!"

Zhu Yunxi turned cold with a cry, and his face was as frosty.

Zhan Hui and others did not dare to speak.

"enough."

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was leaning on the couch, finally interrupted with a deep voice, frowning.

Zhu Yunxi closed his voice, clasped his hands together, and took two steps back.

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a low voice: "Since the grandson said that the tax office was injustice, if there is another clue to the case, let's explain it together here, so as not to leave us here and continue to have unreasonable entanglements."

Zhu Yunxi bowed his hands and nodded: "My Majesty, Jin Yiwei has now found out that this case was not committed by Wan Jinbiao. When the case happened that night, the person who went to report the case to Marquis Wu of Xuncheng was not the people of Taipingli, but Li Erfu, the tenant of the Li family."

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes brightened instantly: "Could it be that the tenants killed people and took their money?"

Zhan Hui and the others raised their heads involuntarily, surprised that Jin Yiwei could find out the murderer so quickly.

In their view, this case is basically unsolvable.

Wan Jinbiao can get all the stolen goods, unless the real murderer voluntarily surrenders, otherwise it will be a case without a head.

"No." Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and then glanced coldly at Zhan Hui and the others: "The murderers were a few households adjacent to the Li family in Chunhua Town. The Jiaozhi family conspired to do this. Li Erfu was the one who betrayed the Li family and tipped him off."

For this truth.

When Zhu Yunxi heard it, he was also very surprised, and he was very surprised.

What I originally thought was that there should be a brilliant plan behind this case, the interests are intricately intertwined, and the truth is confusing.

But who would have thought that it was only because people in the countryside were outraged at what happened to their own family, the injustice and the innocence of the leader, that they came up with the means to hide their identities and seize the property of the Li family .

Wan Jinbiao is just an unlucky idiot who stepped on dog shit and was unlucky. He was brought to the scene of the Li family's massacre just as the case happened, and he was blamed for this.

If Zhang Hui hadn't personally interrogated these things, and repeated the interrogation three times, even the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital who had become research madmen would start complaining that Zhang Hui's interrogation was too messy. Believe me, the truth of the matter is so unexpected.

Zhan Hui and the others felt tense for no reason.

The case has indeed been clarified.

Afterwards, several people felt relieved again.

As long as it was proved to be the conspiracy of several families adjacent to the Li family in Chunhua Town, then it would be impossible for this matter to be involved in other places.

And Zhu Gaochi, who had been impeached since Zhan Hui and others entered the palace, stood up abruptly at this moment.

He was silent, walked up to the old man calmly, and knelt down in a daze.

"Grandfather, grandson has been wronged!"

Then, with a bang, his forehead hit the gold brick in front of him.

Looking at the eldest son of the fourth family who was kneeling in front of him and crying for grievances, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered slightly, but he never mentioned him.

Instead, he turned to look at Zhu Yunxi in front of him.

Only two days away from the incident, Li Erfu, who tipped off the news, was able to be found, and it was confirmed that the real culprit who committed the crime was the almost family in Chunhua Town.

This method can be described as vigorous and resolute.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help showing a bit of pride and emotion: "Is the case conclusive?"

Zhu Yunxi nodded firmly: "It's true, and it won't be long before all criminals will be apprehended by Jin Yiwei."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, looked at Zhan Hui and others kneeling on the ground and the elder sons of the fourth family: "In that case, let's wait for news from Jinyiwei."

……

Dressed in a red flying fish uniform, Jiang Yu, the commander of the Jinyiwei of the pro-army, entered from the Chang'an Gate on the right, passed through the Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, and Meridian Gate, and entered the palace.

After crossing the Fengtian Gate, passing through the Fengtian Temple Square, bypassing the Fengtian Temple, and finally rushed to the front of the Huagai Hall.

"My lord, Jiang Yu, the commander of the Jinyiwei of the pro-army, has something to say, and I bow to Sheng'an."

The whole hall has long been waiting for Jiang Yu's arrival.

Follow him to sign up outside the hall gate.

Sun Gou'er walked out of the hall with a smile on his face, and came to Jiang Yu: "The Commander has come, and His Majesty has been waiting for you."

Jiang Yu straightened up, looking at Sun Gou'er with a cold face, but said in a kind tone, "I've got to work as a superintendent."

"Minister Jiang Yu, see Your Majesty, see Your Highness the Crown Prince, see Your Highness the Grandson."

In the hall, Jiang Yu, who was the commander of Jin Yiwei, was standing there, making people feel that there were bursts of eerie aura spreading out.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the commander who had been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years in front of him, with a smile on his face: "But the case of killing the Li family in Taiping came to a conclusion? Today, all ministers are present, so you can explain this matter carefully."

Jiang Yu looked around and nodded silently.

As the commander of Jinyiwei, he is naturally clear about the fact that the officials of the DPRK and China want to attack the tax office.

Therefore, it was for this reason that he ordered people to demand that Wan Jinbiao be sent to Jinyiwei Prison after the incident happened the night before.

It is obvious that the grandson, who is showing kindness in his eyes at this moment, has proved that his choice is correct.

As for the old men like Zhan Hui?
Never in my own consideration.

Jiang Yu made up his mind, and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei has now found out the reason for the murder of the Li family in Taipingli."

"This case is the result of the conspiracy of the Sun family, the Zhao family, and the Wang family in Chunhua Township to plan for the [-] mu of fertile land of the Li family at the foot of Fangshan Mountain for the children who have been hidden and changed their identities at home."

"The three families lured Li Erfu, a tenant of the Li family, to inform him that everyone in the Li family was at home in Taipingli on the night of the crime. The three families invited the Li family to hold a banquet on the grounds that they were going south to Jiaozhi."

"The three families brought their confidantes, and when the Li family was drunk, they violently attacked and brutally killed the whole family of the Li family."

"Currently, Jinyiwei has arrested all three families and brought them to justice. They are now imprisoned in Jinyiwei's imperial prison. Zhang Hui, the chief interrogator of Jinyiwei, will personally interrogate and verify them."

After finishing speaking, Jiang Yu took out another confession record from his sleeve.

"Your Majesty, this is the statement of the three criminals involved in the case who have been interrogated by Jin Yiwei. Please read it."

As he spoke, Jiang Yu lowered his head and held his confession in both hands.

Zhu Yunxi stared at the confession given by Jiang Yu with bright eyes, and looked lightly at Zhan Hui and others who were still kneeling on the ground at this moment.

Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze was gloomy, with an unpredictable smile on his face.

"Have you already obtained a statement?"

"Jin Yiwei's work is more and more in line with my wishes."
