The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 289 Drag it out and chop it up (seeking subscription please monthly ticket)

Morning the next day.

Tomorrow, it will be the first day of October, and the canonization ceremony of Zhu Yingtai's grandson will also be the first military parade of Ming Dynasty.

"Tianjie Temple, all the arrangements for the foreign ministers have been settled. The military parade that our great-grandson canonized this time is related to the prestige of the Ming Dynasty. Let's make it clear here. If anyone makes trouble, don't blame us for not going feelings."

After the morning court started, Zhu Yuanzhang reprimanded him for not following the previous procedure.

Tianjie Temple was named, and as the head monk of the Senglu Academy, he immediately went out of the class, put his hands together and said: "Your Majesty, the arrangements for the foreign ministers have been confirmed by the ministers."

"The list of all participants has been handed over to the Jinyiwei Yamen, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

Because Zhu Yuanzhang has a relatively deep understanding of Buddhism, he believes that Buddhism can "Yi Yi Wang Du" and "secretly assist Wang Gang", so Zhu Yuanzhang personally formulated a complete system of monks and officials regarding religion.

In the first year of Hongwu, Shanshi and the Second Academy of Xuanjiao were established as the important yamen of the Ming Dynasty to manage monks and Taoists in the world.

In April of the 15th year of Hongwu, the Senglu Division and Daolu Division were reset, and the Second Academy was abolished.

From then on, the monk, Daolu Division, was in charge of the monks and Taoists in the world.

But maybe because of Taoism, compared with monks, there are more leisurely minded wild cranes. For example, Taoist spiritual leaders like Zhang Sanfeng can't be found directly.

Moreover, many Taoists are very disgusted with working in the Daolu Department's yamen, and they are not big figures who take the initiative to come.

Therefore, in terms of religious management, the Senglu Division is responsible for many more places.

As a religious yamen, there is a department chief and one left principal each, with six grades of principal, belonging to the Ministry of Rites.

Under normal circumstances, the monk officials of the Senglu Division do not need to participate in the early court.

This time, the head of the monk's department came here because he had received a notice and needed to report on his work face to face.

Don't look at these two sentences, if you don't come.

Ha ha.

Zhu Yuanzhang will not be used to it just because he is a monk. He should be executed as usual.

Over the years, many monk officials of the Senglu Division have been executed for corruption and bribery.

As for Lao Zhu's petulant temper, there is no one in this world who dares not kill him.

However, most of the monk officials in the early Ming Dynasty were held by eminent and respected monks, and overall they were considered very good.

At least in Sizheng and Zuozheng, from the first year of Hongwu to the present, there has been no change of people.

With the constant confirmation, Zao Chaoshang has basically communicated clearly about tomorrow's canonization, military parade, and all regulations.

Standing on the Golden Luan Hall, Zhu Ying was wearing a uniform, listening to the cumbersome ceremony, the corners of her mouth twitched slightly.

In order to show the majesty of the Ming royal family, especially the grandson.

The whole process of the ceremony can be said to be full of details.

However, it is easier to accept when there is a comparison.

The civil and military officials almost had to kowtow all morning, and there was no rest in the middle.

So Zhu Ying felt much more comfortable in her heart.

Those who make various suggestions and put forward various plans will inevitably suffer from their own troubles.

After discussing for almost an hour, Zhu Yuanzhang also chatted with a smile about the eldest grandson, and seemed to be in a good mood.

Just after the matter was finalized, a courtier suddenly came out of duty, and without coughing to greet his colleagues, he said: "Your Majesty, I have a report."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't think too much about it, and said, "Quick play."

The minister made a salute and said, "Your Majesty, I heard that yesterday the capital was stirred up, causing hundreds of thousands of people to gather, and finally a large army entered the city, so I was able to avoid the riot."

"But even so, there was a lot of chaos in the capital city, and many people were trampled and injured."

"I even heard that this group of British chambers of commerce has a very close relationship with His Royal Highness, and it seems to be the chamber of commerce established by His Royal Highness when he was in opposition."

"I dare you, His Royal Highness is now a nobleman of the royal family, how can you associate with merchants, you should quickly disband the so-called Qunying Chamber of Commerce, to avoid similar things like yesterday from happening again."

"Furthermore, this group of British chambers of commerce, a group of merchants and the like, bewitched His Majesty the grandson to compete with the people for profit. It is simply the worst evil. I only found out after inquiring about the news yesterday that this group of British chambers of commerce actually wanted to harm the foundation of my Ming Dynasty."

With the minister's more excited and high-spirited tone, Zhu Yuanzhang's smile gradually became stiff.

The other ministers looked at each other in blank dismay, and there was a deathly silence in Fengtian Hall.

The minister who spoke didn't seem to realize that he was completely immersed in his inner world, and continued to speak impassionedly:
"I looked at the notice. It said that this group of British chambers of commerce recruits workers, both men and women are allowed. Isn't this against the women's policy, and that's all. He recruits anyone."

"Not even apprentices, even refugees, he also recruits. And as long as he enters, he can get two hundred cash a month, two hundred cash is not much, but this day, he is in charge of the goddamn Qunying Chamber of Commerce, with ulterior motives , with ulterior motives!"

"In this way, many common people would go to the Heroic Chamber of Commerce, even if they still have the desire to farm. From now on, our Daming's fields may be barren."

"The common people will stop farming in the future, food will decrease and taxes will decrease. This is to dig out the roots of my great Ming."

Speaking of this, the minister took a deep breath again, with a hint of speculation in his tone: "I also heard that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce originated in the Western Regions, and has colluded with many forces on the grassland. A large number of members, not to mention People of my clan."

"His Highness Grandson is young, and he has not been in the palace for a long time, so he must have been deceived by traitors, causing endless disasters."

"Your Majesty, I suggest that Jin Yiwei be sent immediately to investigate the entire Qunying Chamber of Commerce, and make sure not to let a single spy go."

After the words fell, the colleague next to the minister subconsciously moved a little, not daring to approach him.

There was someone who was familiar with the minister next to him, and his eyes were full of pity.

It must be that his brain was damaged when he went out, so he dared to say such a thing.

I don't want my life.

Tomorrow is a great day for His Majesty the Grandson, and today this guy directly stood up and reprimanded the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

The Qunying Chamber of Commerce knows a little bit about it, but it was built by His Royal Highness Taisun himself, and it is especially famous in the border areas.

The wealth under his control is innumerable.

This point can be seen from the fact that His Majesty's banquets have become more frequent since His Highness Taisun entered the palace.

There must be a lot of money flowing directly into the internal funds.

You must know that going forward, although His Majesty has also given banquets, but for those light meals, sometimes you can't see you, so you know how tight the money is.

As for the improvement of the diet, the Ministry of Household Affairs has not given any suggestions, which shows that the money definitely did not come from the treasury.

This shows that the internal money is now very full.

Any fool can guess that it must be His Royal Highness, or the Qunying Chamber of Commerce.

This guy wants to wipe out His Majesty's purse, it's really ruthless.

"Have you finished?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked blankly.

The minister was taken aback for a moment, then bowed and said, "Return to Your Highness, I have finished speaking."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then ordered plainly; "Okay, just finish talking, left and right, drag it out and chop it up."

Jin Yiwei, who had been clever for a long time, was eager to try. Hearing His Majesty's order, there was no hesitation in the slightest. Two Jin Yiwei strode forward, set up the minister, and dragged him outside.

"Why is this so, Your Majesty, why is this so!!!"

"What I said came from the bottom of my heart. This is to destroy my Daming society, harm my Daming country, and cause endless troubles!!"

"I think I'm dead, but Your Majesty must strictly investigate the Qunying Chamber of Commerce, strictly investigate! Strictly investigate!!!"

"Your Majesty!!! Mmm."

Jin Yiwei immediately covered his mouth, and then quickly removed his chin. The two of them also quickened their pace a little, and quickly dragged them out of Fengtian Hall.

Soon, a scream came.

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked with a gloomy expression: "My dear friends, do you have any opinions on what happened just now? Don't hesitate to speak out boldly. Let's listen."

The ministers in the hall were quiet, no one said anything, and they seemed to be holding their breath.

This is the court hall during the Hongwu period.

Even the top ministers did not dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang with their heads down. Anyone who dared to provoke the majesty of the emperor would have three feet of grass on the grave.

The one just now was just a small official of the fifth rank, and he died immediately. It is not a shock that the minister of the second rank was executed. The big guys are already used to it.

Many ministers felt Zhu Yuanzhang's anger, and even cursed the execution just now in their hearts.

It’s hard to live a peaceful life for a few days. His Majesty is in a good mood recently. No one has been executed for seven or eight days. Now this bastard is determined to poke a hornet’s nest.

The days to come, I'm afraid it will not be easy.

Seeing that the ministers below did not respond, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to just go there, but asked Zhu Ying: "Da Sun, I wonder if you have any opinions on the minister's performance just now."

"Let's listen to it, and let all the loves listen to it."

Zhu Ying nodded, bowed and replied: "Grandpa, grandson thinks that what happened just now seems to be just the words of one person, but behind it, it is not so simple."

"Being able to say so much shows that this person knows a lot. If my grandson remembers correctly, the minister just now belongs to the Ministry of Officials."

While speaking, Zhu Ying stared closely at Zhan Hui.

Zhan Hui felt His Highness the eldest grandson's gaze, and his heart skipped a beat.

He knew that His Royal Highness Changsun was going to take advantage of this incident to attack him.

As we all know, His Royal Highness Changsun has a very close relationship with Liang Guogong, and now Liang Guogong is not even qualified to come to the early court because of himself.

Although the grade of the Daming Public Security Directorate is not low, but due to the issue of authority, there is no requirement for an early court for the time being.

At this time, the military officers on the right suddenly gloated.

Zhan Hui has a thick skin, and even if he wants to be shameless, he can't get the position of Shangshu. As long as His Highness the eldest grandson doesn't call his name, he will pretend to be dead.

Zhu Ying paused for a moment, seeing that Zhan Hui didn't respond, but he didn't chase after him, and continued: "If it's in other departments, maybe grandson won't think too much, but the official department is different."

"The Ministry of Officials is where the officials in charge of my dynasty are located. To be able to be an official in the Ministry of Officials, my grandson thought, he must be a smart person, and even a fool can't get along."

"Of course, if this person came in through the back door relying on connections, it would be a different matter. In this regard, we can ask the Jin Yiwei to check whether someone manipulated it secretly and used tricks."

"This is a great injustice to other alternate officials."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and said: "Sun'er is right. Things like forming a party for personal gain and deceiving superiors and inferiors must be strictly investigated. Jiang Yu, but I heard clearly."

Jiang Yu, who was lowering his head, hurriedly bowed and said, "Report to Your Majesty, I heard clearly."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, indicating to his grandson to continue.

Zhu Yingdao: "My grandson just saw that when this minister was executed, he didn't panic too much. It seems that he knew it beforehand. When he said these words, his grandfather would definitely be executed."

"This shows that this person's mind is very clear, and the purpose of saying these words is very clear."

"Ants can steal their lives, let alone humans. If this is the case, behind this person, there must be someone behind the scenes."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, and said: "My grandson is right, the mouse behind this scene is really daring, and actually inserted his hands into the court."

"To be able to control his life and death, he should have been hiding in the capital for many years, and even, this person is above the court and among the officials."

While speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang shot at the officials with fierce eyes, as if he wanted to find out the operator behind the scene.

In an instant, all the ministers in the entire court, including the ministers, trembled.

This was the prelude to the coming storm, and many ministers knew in their hearts that once His Majesty began to doubt the ministers, he would be severely investigated by Jin Yiwei.

Those who have a little relationship are likely to be dragged directly into the imperial prison, where they will be tortured and tortured to extract a confession.

This kind of thing has happened three times in the 25th year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty.

For the officials of the imperial court, every time it was a big cleansing. Outside the Fengtian Hall, blood flowed like a river, and in the imperial prison, there were endless screams.

Especially those colleagues in the Ministry of Officials who had a good relationship with the minister who was executed just now.

My legs are shaking now.

Jin Yiwei's investigation must start with his colleagues. The possibility of being involved in death is as high as [-]% according to the past practice.

Just when some ministers were about to pee in fear, Zhu Ying suddenly spoke.

"Grandpa, my grandson doesn't think so. According to the current situation, it is speculated that the person behind the scenes is not in the court, but should be hiding in the capital."

As soon as these words came out, it was really good news for all the ministers.

Especially those few colleagues, immediately burst into tears of gratitude, if not restricted by the rules of the early court, they could not help but bow three times and kowtow nine times.

In their hearts, many ministers have begun to swear that if they can go home intact today, they must set up a longevity card for His Royal Highness and burn incense and kowtow every day.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard the words, he didn't think much about it, and asked directly: "What's your opinion, grandson, please tell me."
