Ming Dynasty, starting from the empty seal case

Chapter 15: Decision!
  "Father calm down!"

At this moment, Zhu Biao's eyes were shaken, and he could not suppress the horror in his heart.

And below.

Together with the two prime ministers, including Zhongshu Sheng, and the Qiqing and other officials, their heads were lowered, confused and horrified, and they just followed the voice of Crown Prince Zhu Biao.

"Your Majesty, calm down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was sitting on the dragon throne. His anger just now made him unable to suppress his emotions.

He didn't hear the sounds around him at all.

Instead, he continued to sit and seemed to be thinking about something.

Sudden.

He suddenly raised his hand and took back the previous memorial in his hand.

Keep reading.

The emotions in my heart are like waves, turbulent and ups and downs.

The following analysis is said to be written by a so-called child.

But among the current civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, how many people could guess what he was thinking about?

Just before today's morning court meeting, the entire hundred officials even thought that the "change in astrology" sent by Qin Tianjian was a signal that he was ready to turn a big deal into a trivial one.

How many people even thought that after today's meeting in the DPRK, all the captured chief ministers, prefectures, prefectures, and county officials would be released?
  But do you really put it back?

dream!

There was an angry rebuke in his heart.

Zhu Yuanzhang's mind returned to this memorial.

He never told anyone what he thought.

Even his anger towards the outside world was all due to "officials protecting each other and bullying the superiors and the inferiors". For this reason, he even did not hesitate to let outsiders feel his fear of being unable to control the court.

But is it really fear?
  The Ming Dynasty was only ten years old.

He is only fifty years old now, and he has been able to transform from a mediocre refugee to the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in just a dozen years.

He has fierce generals who can eat wolves and drive away tigers, hundreds of thousands of brave soldiers who follow him to fight life and death, and he also has the most sophisticated intelligence agency in the world.

As the above memorial says...

The issue of empty seals started in the previous dynasty, even in the previous dynasty. Anyone who has a little knowledge of the operation of the Ministry of Household Affairs and the transportation of tax revenue across the country will know it very well.

How to check audit issues.

From the prime minister of the first rank to the petty official of the lowest rank, they all know...

He has been handling state affairs for ten years, so how can he really not be clear about it?
  What's more, the pro-military Duwei Mansion is not just for food.

But precisely because it said so much, I had almost completely guessed what I was thinking.

That made him even more angry!
  This was definitely not written by a six-year-old!

A six-year-old child can write this, and he ate all these boxes of memorials today!
  Looking further back, Zhu Yuanzhang saw the description of "Although the Ming Dynasty was newly established, stubborn diseases still exist" and the conjecture of "Building plank roads in the open, secretly destroying old warehouses"...

Instead of feeling the joy of being a close friend, I felt extremely angry!
  In this court, tearing his previous reasons to pieces would be a slap in his face.

who is it?

Liu Bowen? Liu Bowen died as early as the eighth year of Hongwu.

Li Shanchang?
  Li Shanchang has retired, but he has not been able to survive. What does he have to do with the school inspector's family?

Or the current Prime Minister?

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two prime ministers from the corner of his eye.

Hu Weiyong!
  Wang Guangyang!
  "Humph!"

No one knows what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.

He quickly calmed down.

"check!"

Give an order!
  Zhu Yuanzhang threw the memorial in his hand on the table again, but did not let Tu Jie continue reading.

Instead, he looked to the other side. That was Mao Xiang, the governor of the pro-military Duwei Mansion.

"Let us find out, this is Su Guiyuan, where are Su Xian's father and son? Who have they interacted with over the years? Who have they been favored by? And who wrote this memorial!"

Thinking of the crooked handwriting on it, which was even uglier than that of my eldest grandson.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled sarcastically.

"Do you really think that if you send a child and ask him to write some words, we will believe him?"

"Are you trying to treat us like a monkey?"

"A six-year-old child has such knowledge? Humph!"

Say it.

He looked at Baiguan again, and now he fell down, still trying to calm down his anger.

And saw this scene.

Zhu Yuanzhang had no intention of continuing.

Instead, he looked outside the hall.

Today's court meeting is extremely long. It started in the morning and is now almost noon.

For a while.

He just sat in the main hall.

The officials all had their own thoughts, but almost all of them were the memorial that Tu Jie had just read.

The reason for the empty seal case!

Isn’t it true that “officials are covering up and deceiving the Holy One”?

So, Your Majesty, what are your thoughts?
  Only Tu Jie had read that memorial... At this time.

Tu Jie felt more and more eyes coming towards him, but he felt as if his head had become a sandbag.

Those sights one after another seemed to turn into fists, smash his head into pieces, and take out something from them.

Absolutely no, I shouldn't be mean-mouthed.

At the very beginning of the morning dynasty, the "empty seal case" was proposed.

So much so that in these short few hours, my emotions were like a roller coaster, ups and downs.

Now, he has left himself with a huge problem.

After the morning court, if a minister asks himself, should he say it or not?

His pitiful eyes looked towards the Holy One, only to find that the Holy One's eyes had been staring at the door.

He quietly turned his head.

I just saw the sunlight outside the door, which seemed to be shining on a certain pillar.

Cold.

His heart trembled violently.

After serving as the sixth-grade imperial censor, he stood behind the officials every time he went to court. While the ministers were discussing state affairs, his mind was wandering, thinking about when he would be able to stand in front of the officials and talk like the ministers, censors, and even the prime minister.

On the other hand, I also pass the time and study other things from time to time.

One to two to go.

He even knew it very well.

The sun in the morning moves from east to south.

For example, the sunlight after Chenshi will not shine into the main hall, but the sunlight at Sishi will leave some light and shadow on the door of Fengtian Hall.

Then the light and shadow expand...

He had not studied where the sunlight would be at noon when he went to court early before, but according to calculations, it should be on the pillar in the last section, right?

And now...

The sun went around and around, and finally came to the pillar.

Tu Jie thought of something, his pupils suddenly shrank, and then he suddenly raised his head to look at His Majesty.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang also withdrew his gaze.

Before withdrawing, his eyes stayed on Tu Jie.

Tu Jie quickly knelt down.

"It's noon!"

"How many did you recite just now?"

Tu Jie didn't know what to say, so he just shifted his gaze and looked at the memorials he had read, which were already filled with two boxes...

"Officials protect each other and deceive the superiors and conceal the inferiors! As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, we have no tolerance for such officials!"

"Now that the crime has been found out!"

"That's what I said back then, Jun Wu Xiyan!"

While talking.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath and roared out.

This moment.

The angry dragon on his dragon robe seems to have five claws spread out, trying to tear everything into pieces.

"Such cheating and concealment from me will kill this official, so he dares to fill in the blank paper. The Minister and the Chief Secretary will punish him!"

"What are you waiting for?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves angrily, but he did not wait for anyone to plead.

Instead, under the horrified gazes of everyone, he shouted again:
  "It's noon. I just reviewed the report!"

"Kill them all!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole court seemed to be trembling.

The chamberlain who had been standing aside for a long time had a high-pitched and melodious voice.

From Fengtian Hall to Fengtian Avenue and then to Fengtian Gate, the sounds of the road continued, one sound louder than the other, and finally, they arrived outside the Meridian Gate.

"The Holy Spirit's Oral Order..."

"Noon has arrived, kill!"

At this moment, outside the Meridian Gate, there was a huge crowd of people who had already heard the news.

All eyes were focused on the officials kneeling in rows, scrambling to look inside.

And as this voice fell.

The first row was under the executioner with the red caltrop sword.

I only had time to shout, "Your Majesty, I am wronged..."

laugh!
  Cut it down with the light of the sword!
  Blood splattered and heads fell...

The last word "ah" finally sounded.

The crowd was in an uproar and the officials were shocked.

For a while...

Blood sprayed in the air.

Urine was flowing on the floor.
