Alliance of the Heavens and Ming Dynasty

Chapter 473: Official Earthquake

Faced with Zhu Houzhao's question, the officials trembled in their hearts, but they dared not answer: "I heard you clearly!"

The officials, who were usually full of anger when speaking, became weak at this time.

"Haven't you eaten yet, speak up, I can't hear you."

Zhu Houzhao frowned, and shouted again.

"I heard you clearly."

The sound was like thunder, shaking the sky, and the officials were already panicked to the extreme.

From the elders of the cabinet to the ordinary officials, their minds were shaking violently, for fear that the emperor's anger would burn on themselves.

No one wants to be assigned to mine!

The anger on his face eased slightly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were as sharp as a knife's edge, and his killing intent could hardly be suppressed:
"Now that you have heard everything clearly, can you tell me what is the difference between taking away the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle and being extinct."

"Soldiers and soldiers died fighting for the country, but their wives, children, and children are not even protected after death. What face do you have to face millions of soldiers who fought for the country and never regretted dying? ?”

The ministers bowed their heads and remained silent, ashamed!
"Let's talk about it, how should we deal with it?"

Zhu Houzhao said indifferently, and asked the officials to give him a satisfactory explanation, otherwise. He doesn't mind another exchange of blood.

He knew that the issue of taking away the pensions of soldiers who died in battle was definitely not the only problem with the Ministry of Accounts, and there must be someone from other ministries and institutes.

Benefits touch people's hearts, and human greed is endless. Once greed arises, there is nothing you dare not do.

He killed the civil official group whose interests are paramount, and he will never allow another civil official group to rise. Now the officials under him have some signs of a civil official group. Such unhealthy tendencies must be nipped in the bud.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be handled strictly, and all those involved in the case will be severely punished, and the hearts of the soldiers must not be chilled."

Chief assistant Yang Yiqing spoke first.

"Evading the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle, such acts are no different from animals. If they are not severely punished, what will the court face?"

"Such a devoid of conscience, must be severely punished"

Wang Jia, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, Wang Qiong, Hong Zhong and other ministers spoke out one after another.

However, everyone talked about severe punishment, but they didn't say how to punish them.

Literati, pay attention to gentleness, it is not easy to say too harsh words.

"How to punish severely?"

Zhu Houzhao looked closely at Yang Yiqing, asking the chief minister of the cabinet to set an example.

"Ugh"

With a deep sigh in his heart, Yang Yiqing understood that no matter what, he couldn't escape today. The emperor needed an explanation, and the military department also needed an explanation.

"Taking away the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle is tantamount to digging the foundation of our dynasty. In terms of human relations and morals, it is devoid of conscience, and the laws of heaven will not tolerate it; in terms of court laws, it is a serious violation of the Great Ming Law, and the crime deserves death. "

"I think this matter should be dealt with like a thunderbolt. No matter the main criminal or the accessory criminal, once caught, all of them will be sent to the Dark Feather Star to mine."

"They embezzle the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle, and compensate the families of the soldiers who died in battle with the wealth they obtained from selling the ore they dug out."

In order to satisfy both the emperor and the military, Yang Yiqing worked hard, and the cruelty of the proposed solution coincided with Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

It would be too cheap for those people to die once they committed a crime, making their life worse than death, which is in line with Zhu Houzhao's usual style of conduct.

"The handling method proposed by Yang Shoufu, the ministers may have objections."

Zhu Houzhao asked.

He is satisfied with Yang Yiqing's handling method, it depends on whether the military department is satisfied.

The generals of the military department are naturally satisfied, after all, what they want is justice.

"The ministers think that the proposal of Lord Shoufu is very reasonable."

Zhu Houzhao sat back on the dragon chair, and said murderously: "To take away the pensions of the soldiers who died in battle, such people who have lost their conscience, dying ten thousand times is not enough."

"I will ask Jin Yiwei to investigate this matter. If one is found, one will be arrested, and if two are found, one will be arrested. As long as someone dares to reach out, they will not be spared lightly."

"Caught criminals will all be assigned to Dark Feather Stars and Flame Stars. They will not return for life, and will not be pardoned."

The officials trembled subconsciously, Jin Yiwei stepped in, and the meaning of the matter was different.

There is going to be a big earthquake in the officialdom.

This time, it is not yet known how many officials will suffer.

Subconsciously, they were all secretly thinking about whether there was anything unclean about themselves, and if so, take the time to wipe their butts clean, no one wanted to experience the emperor's cruel methods.

Sitting on the dragon chair, taking a panoramic view of the reactions of the officials, Zhu Houzhao said coldly:
"First Shi Xingfeng confuses the public with his demonic words, and then there are officials from the household department who embezzled the pensions of soldiers. I have been negligent in the management of the government over the years, and some ghosts and monsters have started to show their heads."

"Do you think that if I neglect the management of the government, you will be able to act recklessly and recklessly?"

"Or, do you want to learn from the former civil servants' clique, huddling together for warmth, flattering superiors and bullying inferiors?"

Hearing that the emperor compared them to the former civil servant group, all the ministers turned pale with fright. How could they dare to learn from the civil servant group!
In the Taiwu Dynasty, who didn't know that the emperor hated the civil official group the most, and learning from the civil official group's work was not much different from courting death.

They still have a bright future, and they don't want to be suppressed to death by the emperor, let alone sent to mine.

"I dare not wait!"

All the officials wanted to swear and swear on the spot, dig out the heart and liver and show it to Zhu Houzhao.

Ever since he embarked on the road of practice, Zhu Houzhao has been in seclusion for many times, which has caused them to become indulgent in their actions, but they really don't have the guts to imitate the civil servants and intend to override the imperial power.

They are all smart people, and they are very accurate in judging the current situation. Now that the times have changed and force is paramount, even if they dare to imitate the civil servants, the emperor can suppress them with a snap of his fingers.

"Don't you dare?"

Zhu Houzhao sneered, and the aura of the imperial dragon erupted, majestic and intimidating all the officials:

"I don't care whether you dare or not. I just want to tell you one thing. In this dynasty, I am the god. Before you want to wrestle with me, think about how many heads you have."

Just speak out directly, and if you have absolute power, you will have an absolute advantage. Unless the time is reversed, the officials can only be at his mercy.

The officials trembled under Zhu Houzhao's coercion. Only then did they deeply understand why the emperor was obsessed with cultivation.

As ministers of the imperial court, all the ministers have no shortage of resources, and their cultivation bases have generally stepped into the realm of supernatural transformation. However, in front of Zhu Houzhao, their abilities are no different. Zhu Houzhao can easily crush them to death at any time.

In the extraordinary world, fist is power!
The bigger the fist, the bigger the power!

Zhu Hou took care of the messy demeanor and the frightened group of officials, knowing that the deterrent effect had already been achieved, and it was too late, so he dissipated the aura of the imperial dragon surrounding him, and put away his majestic power.

"Retreat."

With a cold snort, he announced his retreat and walked away.

Zhu Qiyuan followed closely behind, and the father and son still had something to talk about.
