The eldest grandson of Emperor Ming Dynasty!

Chapter 659 Counterinsurgency Only Needs Coordinates

Zhu Ying, a big idler, originally thought that he would be relaxed for a long time, but he didn't expect the case in Shanxi to make him busy all of a sudden.

Since the reform of officials' salaries, the phenomenon of corrupt officials has been greatly reduced in recent years.

In the past, being an official was only for power, and money was hard to come by.

After the reform, even the most basic officials can feed and clothe the whole family, at least not too hungry, which is completely different from before.

Some officials with high ranks still have a very considerable monthly salary, and various allowances and subsidies add up, and their lives are quite good, and there is no shortage of money.

It just turns out that no matter how high the salaries are, corrupt officials can never be eradicated.

Greed is human nature.

When sitting in that position, having enough power at hand, and even gaining a lot of wealth with just a look, there are very few people who can completely hold back their emotions.

Since ancient times, the Central Plains has paid attention to personal feelings and sophistication, and there are too many doorways here.

Many officials use public power privately, and it may not be for personal interests, such as family, such as promotion.

Whatever the reason, the result is that power is abused, and at this point money may often come incidentally.

There is another reason for this, and that is about political achievements.

Today's officials need to have obvious political achievements if they want to be promoted.

In the absence of political achievements, no one would dare to talk about it even if they got through the relationship.

Political achievements are manifested in many aspects, and the most obvious one is the improvement of living standards. Simply put, it is a series of factors such as taxation, domestic security, road construction, and people's livelihood.

Attracting investment has become the fastest way.

Especially the investment and construction of the factory, if it is local, can naturally provide a large number of jobs for the local people, and at the same time create taxes.

The construction of a large factory will allow local officials to enjoy enough achievements for promotion.

It was from this time that officials began to win over businessmen who had once looked down upon them.

This back and forth will naturally be accompanied by many secret transactions.

This is also an inevitable trend of rapid economic development. With the emergence of a large amount of wealth, current officials basically cannot withstand such temptations.

Only this time, the movement was a little louder.

Shanxi region.

It was originally a small case, but because it involved the transportation of corn feed, it was reported to Beiyuan Employment Association.

Corn feed is now popular in the grasslands. This is a concentrated feed that is more fertile than pasture, like the horses of the prairie soldiers. Now almost all the concentrated feed depends on Daming imports.

This is also a big deal between Da Ming and Bei Yuan.

Many prairie tribal soldiers who earned money from the Beiyuan Employment Association provided fine feed to the horses every month. The money passed through the hands of the prairie tribal soldiers and then returned to Daming.

If it is related to Beiyuan, it is naturally not something the local government can handle.

So some things were revealed all at once.

It just so happened that the officials in charge of the review were relatively straight-tempered, and they were famous for not rubbing sand in their eyes.

It was originally just a small case, but a lot of people looking for connections and giving gifts came out. He didn't think much about it, but he felt a little strange about it.

The prisoner who was caught was also very arrogant, even though they were all in the dungeon, they still looked like the second child.

However, with just a little torture, he couldn't bear it and began to confess.

But the things that were confessed were really shocking.

The officials involved are no longer what the border areas can handle.

In the same night, the person in charge here wrote to the capital, and at the same time sent over the confession.

All of a sudden, Sansi was shocked.

The sky in Shanxi is about to collapse.

According to the confession, there were 37 officials, including the chief envoy of the Chief Secretary of Shanxi Province. The amount involved in the case was initially estimated to be at least tens of millions of coins.

The last time this kind of case happened was the Guo Heng case in Hongwu's 18th year.

Obviously this time it will be even higher.

"Shanxi Shanxi Merchants, the heart of Ming Dynasty will never die."

After Zhu Ying saw it, she couldn't help but said with emotion.

After several years, the Qunying Chamber of Commerce has gradually shifted from the dark to the bright, so the previous ways are not very effective.

Those who go astray also know that the Qunying Chamber of Commerce belongs to the grandson, so naturally they will not talk about contacting again.

"Let's just say, these are white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with it. What a guy, tens of millions of treasures. This is just an estimate. I'm afraid the real number is really scary."

"This time, grandson, let me tell you that you can't be soft-handed anymore, and you must clean it up severely."

"But if anyone is involved, no matter who it is, no one can be let go."

Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry this time.

Zhu Ying has nothing to say, such a big case always has to deal with a group of people.

But the next situation is simply adding fuel to Zhu Yuanzhang's fire.

In order to find out more clearly and in detail who was involved, the capital set up an inspection team for this matter.

The minister of the Ministry of Punishments was in charge, and the three divisions dispatched personnel. A total of 21 people went to Shanxi to thoroughly investigate the case.

It can be seen that the imperial court has dealt with the corruption case this time.

Minister of the Ministry of punishment, this is a first-class official, this is an official of the third rank.

The third division followed, and the last time they were all fifth grade.

Such a high-level investigation team can be said to have directly crushed all officials in Shanxi in terms of status.

However, one month later.

The investigation team went into Shanxi and there was no news back.

Finally, after investigation by Shanxi officials, it was bandits who caused the disappearance of this group of investigation teams.

It is said to be missing, but in fact, the end can probably be figured out.

How cruel.

This Shanxi official.

Don't they know that anti-crime requires evidence, anti-terrorism requires a list, and counter-insurgency requires only one coordinate.

"Pass down our decree, immediately mobilize all guards around Shanxi, gather an army of 20, led by Song Guogong Feng Sheng, and pacify Shanxi!!!"

This can no longer be described as a case, it is simply rebellion.

For such a shocking event, the murder of 27 important court officials, including the Minister of Punishment, is going to turn the world upside down.

Want to be a grandson monkey?
Then we have to see if there is that golden cudgel.

"Such blatant opposition to the court, I really don't understand how to write the word dead."

Of course, Zhu Ying will not say anything about this matter, he is not the Holy Mother.

When it's time to kill, of course it has to be killed.

It's good to have a bloodbath. Originally, Shanxi merchants have always been resurgent. They have been rectified so many times, and they can always make a comeback again and again.

Obviously, there are still many big Shanxi families participating behind.

In the past, these families didn't have a name to move, and they couldn't be a family. Zhu Yuanzhang would not do it like this.

This time, the sky was pierced.

Cleans just right.

Among them, the biggest behind-the-scenes is naturally the chief envoy of Shanxi Chief Secretary, who leads the entire government affairs of Shanxi.

He also indeed colluded with many guards in Shanxi and joined together for corruption.

But in the face of the 20 troops commanded by Song Guogong Feng Sheng, no guard in Shanxi had the courage to stand up against them.

They all returned to the guards obediently, not daring to make any changes.

Naturally, it was impossible for Feng Sheng's army to encounter any resistance, so the military directly took over Shanxi.

The first to be arrested and questioned were all the top officials headed by the Shanxi chief envoy.

When Feng Sheng arrived, the Chief Secretary of Shanxi and [-] other officials directly committed suicide in fear of guilt, trying to suppress the incident as much as possible by committing suicide.

"Suicide is not enough."

Feng Sheng shook his head slightly.

This is already a serious crime against the Nine Clans. Those Nine Clans who commit suicide in fear of crime must be imprisoned first.

In this case, as long as it is involved, the nine clans are not allowed to escape.

That's why Zhu Ying knew that the whole of Shanxi was about to be washed with blood.

Officials who are able to participate in corruption in Shanxi and have wealth and status must have made a lot of efforts from their families to catch one.

The 20 troops this time were not from Shanxi, they were all transferred from other places.

Even if there are many guard commanders, they don't have to run away.

There will be some resistance sporadically, such as the last struggle of some families.

But in front of an army of 20, any resistance would be overwhelming, like an egg hitting a rock.

Of course, it cannot be said to be a random killing.

The investigation is still to be investigated.

After taking control of the situation in Shanxi, the imperial court sent another investigation team.

The last time it was the right servant of the Ministry of punishment, this time it was Meng Zhengsheng, the left servant of the Ministry of punishment.

Seeing that it was the end of the year, Zhu Yuanzhang issued an edict that the case must be concluded within two months and the process should be completed.

Can't delay until the Ming Dynasty Spring Festival.

Beheading in the first month is not auspicious.

Meng Zhengsheng was the one who stood up and questioned whether the country of Wa could compensate so much silver when Zhu Ying said that the country of Wa would pay compensation.

This guy has a single mind, so Zhu Ying naturally wouldn't let him down just because of a few questions.

The Ministry of Punishment originally needed stunned youths, people with too many scruples and too deep a city, they were not suitable to work in the Ministry of Punishment.

In just one month, the case was basically clear.

It's just that when the news was sent back to the capital, there was another wave of waves.

"There are more than 12 people. This is the founding of the Ming Dynasty. No, even in the past and present, it has never been related to a major case."

"With so many people, is it possible that all of them will be executed?"

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, felt his head was getting bigger.

Immediately contact the Minister of Dali Temple, and the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Li Tingwei, Minister of Dali Temple, shook his head frantically: "My Dali Temple is only responsible for adjudicating cases. Of course, it is impossible for my Dali Temple to have the final say on such an important case."

"For Yang Shangshu's decision, I naturally fully support it."

Zuo Yushi of the Metropolitan Procuratorate also said: "This should be a matter of the Ministry of Punishment, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate only cares to see if there are any violations. Since Yang Shangshu personally tried the case, of course there is no possibility of any bad rules. "

"This matter is His Majesty's decree, and there is no mention of a joint trial by the three divisions. In my opinion, it is better for Yang Shangshu to directly decide."

You Yushi also directly seconded.

All are not fools.

This is nearly 13 people. Could it be that they were all killed?
According to His Majesty, it is natural that except for the women's family members who are filled into the Jiaofang Secretary, all the others will be destroyed.

But no one dared to open the mouth.

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, was silent for a while, and finally said: "The matter is of great importance, and I can't be the master. Tomorrow morning, I will ask His Majesty to hold a six-part deliberation and decision."

Not everyone can be fooled.

And everyone is a literati.

This order is issued, not to mention bloody hands, it is equivalent to bloody body.

In fact, everyone knows that the act of punishing the Jiu Clan is based on deterrence. Among the 12 people, there may be more than [-] innocent people implicated.

If all of them were executed, they would all be wronged souls.

Some relatives who don't know much about it may be directly implicated before they figure out what's going on.

In a clan, because of the greed of some people including the patriarch, the whole clan had to be wiped out.

Including those tenants, long-term workers, and poor children who plan food in the soil, they will also be executed because of their status.

The next morning, at Fengtian Hall.

Yang Jing, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, requested the six ministries to co-trial.

When the other ministers heard this, they lowered their eyebrows and kept silent.

"Why, is it because there are too many people that you dare not deal with it? Do you think that if there are too many people, you can disregard the laws of the Ming Dynasty and murder the important officials of the court?"

Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily. .
"Your Majesty, rest your anger."

All the officials of Fengtian Hall fell to their knees under Zhu Yuanzhang's loud shouts.

But no one said anything about it.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't ask Dasun what to do.

This matter is currently a problem.

Say let it go, it will damage the majesty of the court, especially Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

I have already talked about the Zhu Jiu Clan before, but now I don't want to kill them, which makes Zhu Yuanzhang have no chance to step down.

He would not leave such a difficult problem to his grandson.

"Grandpa, grandson has something to say."

Seeing that the atmosphere became solidified, Zhu Ying knew that at this moment, she could only come forward.

According to what the old man really wanted, the 12 people would all have to be wiped out.

Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated a little before saying, "Okay, grandson, tell me."

With Taisun's intervention, the officials in Fengtian Hall were relieved.

Zhu Ying said: "27 important court officials were murdered. This is an unprecedented event in all dynasties."

"Such actions have seriously damaged the majesty of the imperial court. However, all the personnel involved, whether they are officials or soldiers, should pay the price for their mistakes. They should strictly follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty and never tolerate them."

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned slightly after hearing this.

Could it be that Dasun proposed to execute all of them?

The officials in the audience held their breath.

When the great-grandson spoke, it was tantamount to a death sentence for 12 people.

"However, Sun'er feels that some innocent people involved in the case who were not involved in the case can be properly punished and not executed."

"What Sun Er means is that from the point of view of the case, the people involved should be sentenced and sentenced. The people involved in the nine clans should be dealt with separately."
