People in Hongwu, from heavenly master to emperor master

Chapter 205 Investigating the Ministry of Industry, Blood Flows Like a River

After the emperor's words fell, a bloody smell seemed to hit his face.

All the ministers present turned pale in an instant.

No matter Li Shanchang, Shan Anren, or the instigator of this incident, Yang Xian, never thought that the emperor would kill someone.

Especially Yang Xian, because of what happened last time, when he was disgusted with Zhang Yi this time, he had already paid attention to his sense of proportion.

Don't take the initiative to hurt the other party, just use the power in your own hands to disgust the other party a little.

The only variable here is that the people from the Ministry of Industry hit the workers.

But those people are nothing but insignificant common people, troublemakers, and ants...

Even the well-known Shan Anren didn't think that the subordinates who made mistakes deserved to die.

They were asking for love, Zhu Yuanzhang said:
"Don't forget, I used to be a troublemaker!
Last year, my lords were not only troublemakers, but also mobs and rebels! "

After Zhu Yuanzhang said this, everyone present understood what mistake he had made?

They broke out in cold sweat immediately, lying on the ground and not daring to get up.

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to remind them not to go ashore and feel that the mud on their bodies was washed clean.

"We all say that Qianyuan has no way, but is the one who has no way a foolish king or a dog official?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice shook faintly in the imperial study, but it was thought-provoking.

"I feel that this dog official is more harmful than a fool!

There was a disaster in the south that year, and the former court ordered relief, but the relief food came all the way and was exploited layer by layer!

Falling into the hands of the common people, there is no grain of rice to feed their stomachs!

As long as these people have a little awe and let the common people get a bowl of porridge, the world will not be reversed!

My lords, you were also victims of this tragedy back then, but after you went ashore, you never recalled the sufferings of the past?
One sentence on the left is troublesome, and one sentence on the right is troublesome?
Do you, my lords, want to trap me in injustice, or do you want me to end up like the previous emperor? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's words are heartbreaking.

Yang Xian trembled all over immediately and dared not speak.

He was the one who said the troublesome people, not someone else, Zhu Yuanzhang still hit him with these words.

Moreover, the emperor wants to kill people. Although the minister of the Ministry of Industry is not his person, many of the people who work under him have arranged for his subordinates.

Therefore, the knife still fell on him.

"Zhang's son, I personally decreed to give him the right to repair the Taoist temple, and he went to the Taoist temple to apply for repairs because of the order!
But those dog officials, what kind of authority do they have?
If the Ministry of Industry really can't arrange the manpower, then I understand!
But according to my understanding, the military craftsman of the Ministry of Industry is still free recently, but he deliberately made things difficult for Zhang Jiazi, which is a crime of deceiving the emperor! "

The crime of bullying the king is a capital crime!

When Zhu Yuanzhang went online, all the officials present except Liu Bowen broke out in cold sweat.

The emperor continued:
"The Zhang family was young and ignorant, he didn't know that people humiliated him, he just went back to collect money to build a garden by himself!

Those dog officials don't repair Taoist temples for others, and they don't like it when they repair them themselves.

This is using the official authority and manners of the previous dynasty on my Daming. It is a death sentence! "

Yang Xian's body trembled even more, and the emperor never mentioned him and never left him.

These words are short of directly saying that someone else deliberately made things difficult, and it is self-evident who it is.

The eyes of other officials drifted to themselves involuntarily.

"Again! Let me take a step back, even if the Zhang family is at fault, the so-called wrong has its head and its debt has its owner.

If they go to take the Zhang family, I still think they have a target, but they beat innocent people on the construction site, but where will I be placed?

I rebelled because of corrupt officials and immorality, so I couldn't survive!
Now that I have come to this point, it is those people who can't survive like me who hold me up.

Those dog officials are trying to do what they did before, and they want me to die!

If you want this great Ming Dynasty, repeat the mistakes of the previous dynasty,

Master Yang, do you think these people deserve to die? "

Lao Zhu paced back and forth, just stopped in front of Yang Xian, and patted him on the shoulder.

At this time, no matter how stupid people are, they know that Lao Zhu is beating Yang Xian.

According to the practice of the previous dynasty, this matter would never be heard by Datian, and if it were another emperor, he would never kill an official because of the people.

To put it bluntly, this matter is a trivial matter, at least in the eyes of the adults, it is a trivial matter.

But the emperor has gone online, and he seems to be planning to use this to build his prestige.

Before Yang Xian answered, Shan Anren rushed to talk:

"I deserve to die for my crimes. As the minister of the Ministry of Industry, I allow such villains to harm the majesty of the court. Please forgive me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, but stared at Yang Xian.

The corners of Yang Xian's mouth turned bitter. He only promised yesterday that others would be fine, but today he will be forced to express his opinion.

But not expressing his opinion is not enough, the emperor's murderous intentions were already proved by the heads sent to the Yang Mansion that day.

He sighed, gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said:

"Since that's the case, then take the person, skin them, hang the corpse on the wall, and expose the corpse for three days!

I want to use his body to inform the world and warn all officials!
As an official, you should have the common people in your heart, not domineering!

Moreover, the Department of Construction and Repairs is not the only one who decides, and those who follow to the construction site are all killed! "

When Lao Zhu's words fell, blood suffocated from his nostrils, making people uncomfortable.

All the people present, with lingering fear in their hearts, knelt down one after another.

But the one who suffers the most is Yang Xian. The others are at most saddened by the death of rabbits and foxes, but Yang Xian is really cut off.

He thought that he could use the power in his hands to be a little willful,
He has already paid attention to the scale, and tried not to let people magnify this matter.

But Yang Xian found that he still underestimated the emperor's bottom line. He really dared to kill officials for the people.

When the imperial decree goes down, people's heads will fall to the ground.

But this matter did not involve him after all, Yang Xian also breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he was not happy for long, Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"A small head of the Ministry of Construction dares to be so arrogant, which shows that the situation in the Ministry of Industry must be very chaotic!

I received news a while ago that there is a serious corruption problem in the Ministry of Industry!Liu Ji is already investigating, but I don't think it's enough!

Liu Bowen, starting today, people from Yushitai will enter the Ministry of Industry to thoroughly investigate the accounts of the Ministry of Industry!

If you find a corrupt person, kill him! "

Li Shanchang was just eating melons at first, but when he heard this, his head felt like a big fight.

His so-called division of labor, although the Qingshui yamen of the Ministry of Industry is under Yang Xian's management,

But whether it is Shan Ren'an or many officials of the Ministry of Industry, they are actually his people!
This investigation will cause blood to flow like a river!
It's just that the emperor issued this order with the remaining prestige just now, even they dare not have the slightest intention to refute.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Shanchang and the others couldn't help taking a peek at Liu Bowen who was eating melons.

He is the final winner of this battle.

The Gong tribe is in the hands of Liu Bowen, and it will be skinned if it is not dead.

Li Shanchang gritted his teeth and looked at Yang Xian again.

A bastard who has more than failed to achieve success, even dragged himself to death.

The emperor waved his hand, and all the officials left, leaving only Liu Bowen still in the imperial study.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to come in and gave Liu Bowen a seat.

The monarch and his ministers are alone in a room.

"That kid came to see you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked casually, and Liu Bowen nodded silently.

The existence of the inspection school and the fact that the emperor supervised all the officials was not a secret in the Ming Dynasty.

The emperor can basically know the idle news.

"What good does he promise you that you are willing to help him?"

"Your Majesty, what benefits can he give the minister... Well, if there is, it can be counted..."

"Oh?"

Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head, interested.

"He said he could check the accounts for me, and visit the construction site together to find evidence of the other party's corruption!"

The two monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled when they said this.

Old Zhu couldn't help but laugh, Zhang Yi really didn't move because he wasn't stimulated by the outside world.

But if someone provokes him, he will actively fight back.

This temper probably has something to do with his experience on Longhu Mountain. If no one bullies him, he is probably a person who does not contend with the world.

But if you bully him, he will definitely retaliate.

This is what Zhang Normal said, the demonic nature in Zhang Yi's heart.

Old Zhu was thoughtful, did he want to give Zhang Yi some more excitement?

It would be a good thing if he could make more progress.

As for Zhang Yi's ability, Lao Zhu believed it. This kid is not sure, and he will never take this job.

The Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs can be regarded as the two most difficult departments among the six departments.

Because these two places are very professional and complicated affairs.

Different from the Ministry of Household Affairs, the Ministry of Industry has a more serious problem, and corruption problems emerge almost endlessly.

That's why the Ministry of Industry was rated as one of the less popular departments among the six departments.

It is because the Minister of the Ministry of Industry often implicates himself because of his subordinates' crimes.

Scholars read the books of sages.

Although those who can pass the Jinshi exam and those who become high-ranking officials have basically experienced it.

However, there are specialties in the art industry, and no one is perfect.

It is difficult for laymen to understand the tricks in the projects of the Ministry of Industry.

The emperor asked Liu Bowen to investigate, and he had found the right person. Liu Bowen's handling ability was strong, and he was not weaker than Li Shanchang in handling logistical affairs.

But even when he went to investigate, the progress was slow due to various problems.

Especially when it comes to the issue of money and food, it can also involve the Ministry of Households.

Even more troublesome!

Except for Liu Bowen, the other censors in Yushitai are more than loyal, but their ability to handle specific affairs is much worse after all.
Zhu Yuanzhang also wanted to see Zhang Yi's ability.

"In that case, you take him with you, and help him out by the way!"

Zhu Yuanzhang left a word and let Liu Bowen take care of himself.

Liu Ji resigned and left the imperial study.

"I always feel that His Majesty treats that child differently, they have never met before,

Is it the old man's illusion? "

After Liu Ji left the palace, he went to Qingxin Temple.

In the pure heart view, he missed a lot.

I asked Deng Zhongxiu, who stayed at the Taoist temple, and knew that Zhang Yi was at Lao Meng's house, and Liu Ji had been there, so he simply asked someone to drive there.

Before reaching Lao Meng's house, he heard cheerful children's laughter in the yard.

Liu Ji knocked on the door, and it was Zhang Yi who opened the door.

"Isn't this Master Liu?"

When Zhang Yi saw Liu Ji, he greeted him warmly, and Liu Ji nodded:
"Come with me!"

"how?"

"It's time for you to fulfill your promise!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yi smiled and said, "It seems that His Majesty has given me the justice I want!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament was exactly as he had guessed.

He will not allow officials to abuse their power, which is his Achilles heel.

In addition to bullying the people, those officials must be punished with death.

Liu Ji took a deep look at Zhang Yi, but did not reveal the secret behind it.

This kid is very accurate in seeing people, at least his understanding of His Majesty is comparable to, and even surpassed in some respects as an old minister.

"It's Lord Liu!"

With the support of Mrs. Li, Lao Meng also came out of the house.

Liu Bowen smiled gently:
"Your justice, His Majesty has resolved it for you!"

Li Shi and Lao Meng opened their mouths wide, but they couldn't believe it.

After experiencing the chaotic times at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, they haven't seen the word "justice" for a long time.

His Majesty actually disposed of an official from the Ministry of Industry for their sake?

For ordinary people, this is simply a fantasy.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Lao Meng burst into tears immediately, and he knelt down with his sick body.

Mrs. Li also wiped away her tears, feeling emotional.

Zhang Yi watched silently, what the people of this era want is so simple.

justice!

These two words are too heavy for some people!
"You guys take good care of your illness, Master Liu and I have business to deal with!"

Zhang Yi instructed the Meng family and his wife, and greeted little Meng Yao:
"Meng Yao, will I play with you next time?"

"Goodbye, little landlord brother!"

Zhang Yi went out and got into Liu Ji's carriage.

"where are we going?"

"Take you to show your face!"

Liu Ji didn't talk nonsense, and ordered the servant:
"Go to the Ministry of Industry!"

When Zhang Yi came to the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry again, he felt a trace of panic in it.

end!

At this time, the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry is like the end of the world.

Panic.

At the door, many government servants and soldiers transferred from other places stood, staring at each other.

"My lord, please forgive me, Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Zhang Yi heard some familiar voices, and he looked into the yamen!

Several officials of the Ministry of Construction who had bullied him were being dragged out.

His face was already pale at this time, and as the soldiers dragged him, there was a puddle of water on the ground, with a fishy smell.

Zhang Yi watched silently, and the official looked at him, even more terrified.

"I was wronged, I was wronged, I want to find the right minister..."

Before he could finish speaking, the soldier shot him directly on the back of the head, knocking him unconscious.

Liu Ji and Zhang Yi didn't hear the word "You Xiang".

"This person, peel the skin! Hang the corpse on the city wall for three days!"

Liu Bowen explained the fate of this person to Zhang Yi calmly, but Zhang Yi remained silent.

From the conflict to the death, he didn't even know the official's name.

However, such things as skinning are in line with the emperor's personality. Zhang Yi looked at the steps of the household department's yamen, and it seemed to be stained with blood.

"This time, because of you, the emperor has an excuse to investigate the Ministry of Industry!

I'm afraid that many people will die! "

Liu Bowen took the lead and walked into the yamen. Zhang Yi took a deep breath.

As a modern person, when this kind of scene really appeared in front of him, he just felt a little disgusted!
Can you just back down?

Can't, then face it!

Zhang Yi grinned, maybe his father was right, he really had a demon in his heart.

Life is not easy for anyone.

Why should he be bullied?

In this cruel era, if a person has no edges and corners, he will only be trampled underfoot.

Everything I did was to protect myself.

He stepped forward and stepped into the Yamen of the Ministry of Industry.

The inside is even more chaotic than the outside, and officials from various departments of the Ministry of Industry are like mourning.

They are holding all kinds of ledgers, waiting for Liu Bowen to check!
Behind Liu Bowen, apart from Zhang Yi, there was also the accountant Mr. he had transferred from various places.

With a wave of his hand, all the ledgers were taken down!

The reckoning begins!
