Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 162 Taming Hundred Officials

It was beyond the expectations of Emperor Jiajing.

After Zhu Yuanzhang killed more than 60 people in the Huangji Hall, there was no problem with the entire imperial court's operating system.

Not only did the Qingliu Party fail to take advantage of the victory to completely destroy the Yan Party, but even the Yan Party itself died down and did not make any further moves.

More than 60 people died quietly, without causing any splashes in the officialdom.

On the contrary, around the sudden appearance of more than 60 official positions, all parties have started a new round of open and secret fighting again.

"Why?" Emperor Jiajing was puzzled by this.

He originally thought that after the Great Court Meeting, what awaited Zhu Yuanzhang would be chaos in the world and civil disturbances everywhere, but he didn't expect that the civil servants seemed to be powerful, but in the end they lacked stamina and were directly impotent.

"Is it hard to understand?"

"Those officials are not fools. They know that we are really going to kill people. Who would want to be such a rafter."

"Besides, we have clearly set new rules for them. As long as they act according to our rules, they can still be officials without any worries. Why do they oppose us!"

"After all, the dead are dead, and they are still alive."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Jiajing, then at Zhu Xiongying who was thinking seriously on the other side, and couldn't help but began to teach earnestly: "As long as the fundamental interests of those gentry are not touched, it is actually very simple to be an emperor. Come on, set the rules and keep the rules."

"Emperor Chongzhen doesn't know how to set rules, so all the officials under his rule are in danger, and naturally no one is willing to do things."

"The Emperor Jiajing established the rules really well, and did a good job of checks and balances. It's a pity that he himself took the lead and broke the rules. The eunuchs around him were also the same. They took bribes and built palaces. There is a saying that the same is true, understand?"

"He himself is the biggest corrupt criminal in Ming Dynasty. Do you expect those officials under him not to be corrupt?"

"Even if it's just for self-defilement, they want to be greedy."

Being reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang face to face, Emperor Jiajing's face turned red immediately.

But he didn't dare to refute Zhu Yuanzhang, mainly because the bruises on his body from the last beating still haven't disappeared!

"Huang Jin, you go to Zhejiang with our will, and clearly tell Yan Song that we will not pursue the bad things he did 43 years ago in Jiajing, and urge him to deal with Zhejiang affairs as soon as possible and come back as his chief assistant."

"Tell him, with us here, as long as he continues to do things with his heart, no one will want him, or the life of the Yan family. Let him just put his heart in his stomach."

Having said this, Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a while, and then said: "This sentence is clearly written in the imperial decree, which completely reassures his heart."

"Yes!" Huang Jin respectfully accepted the order to leave.

The imperial decree issued by Zhu Yuanzhang himself is not just a simple order, but also has the emperor's dragon spirit attached to it.

As long as it is written in the imperial decree, Zhu Yuanzhang cannot go back on his word.

Zhu Yuanzhang understands this, and Yan Song presumably also understands it.

Of course, what Yan Song doesn't understand is that if Zhu Yuanzhang wants his life, there are actually many ways...

"Grandfather, I also want to go to Zhejiang to see the Ming Dynasty in this world." Zhu Xiongying said with eyes full of expectation.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a while, and couldn't help but grinned fondly and said, "Alright, it's good for you to go and see the world."

"Just right, Grandpa Huang has another mission for you."

"Go and find someone named Li Shizhen for Grandpa Huang, and tell him that Grandpa Huang admires his medical skills and wants to invite him to be a high official in the court, and ask him if he is willing?"

"Yes, grandson promises to complete the task!" Zhu Xiongying agreed solemnly.

"Let Sapphire go with you, and be careful on the road. Although this world is generally stable, the power of great Confucianism should not be underestimated."

Looking at the back of Zhu Xiongying going away, Zhu Yuanzhang exhorted worriedly.

"Understood, Grandpa!" When he said this, Zhu Xiongying's figure had already disappeared.

"This stinky boy!"

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and cursed, put his hands behind his back and walked to the window, looking at the heavy snow outside when he didn't know when, he began to think about the next plan in his mind.

"After taming all the officials and establishing the rules, then it's time to clean up the officialdom."

"Anti-corruption..."

Zhu Yuanzhang chewed these two words, and what emerged in his mind was a person who had never met before, but who was very popular in this era.

"Hairui!"

Some people say that this man is a sharp sword of the Ming Dynasty, not because he pursues evil like an enemy, but because he is upright, because he knows what he can't do.

Hai Rui offended many people in his life.

From Yan Song to Xu Jie, the two chief assistants of the Ming Dynasty, he has been reckless, but why is he still alive, and his official position is getting bigger and bigger.

It was because those people couldn't find the slightest flaw in him, and there was no other way except to arrange a high position for him to support him.

Such people are feared in this day and age.

Because this sword is too sharp, it not only hurts others, but also hurts himself.

Hai Rui didn't care what faction he was in, what kind of support he had, or friendship from the same family, as long as he violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, he would dare to be reckless.

From the beginning to the end, there is only one thing in his heart, and that is the common people.

In the Jiajing Dynasty, except for Hai Rui, no one in the officialdom dared to say that he had not violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty at all.

Such a person is out of tune with this era, and no one dares to use it, not even the later Zhang Juzheng.

But Zhu Yuanzhang dared.

He is confident that he can hold this sword, and use him to cut through the first layer of haze that hangs over Daming's officialdom...

"But we have to wait."

"Let's see how Xu Jie arranges the positions of these more than 60 officials?"

"See how much stolen money Yan Song can seize from Zhejiang this time."

"When the dust settles on the two things, it's time to use this great Ming sword..."

And it was at the same time that Zhu Yuanzhang purged the officialdom of the Jiajing Dynasty.

In the early years of Ming Dynasty, it was also not stable.

On a newly built official road in the northeast of Daming, an 800-man cavalry team is galloping from a distance at high speed.

This team of cavalry belongs to Li Wenzhong's northern theater, Liaoyang Qianwei.

They are now executing a top-secret mission issued by the theater headquarters.

"stop!"

Qianhu Shen Jin, who is now a rank nine martial artist, reined in the reins abruptly, causing everyone to stop.

He opened the map to check, and quickly determined his mission location.

"Get off the main road and continue to the east for five miles!" He shouted loudly, leading his troops and galloping away again.

The distance of five miles is fleeting for ordinary horses, not to mention that their mounts are now the new breed of horses newly researched by the imperial court.

This kind of horse is like a powerful human warrior. Its strength, speed, and endurance are two to three times greater than ordinary horses. Although it is not an extraordinary horse, it is not much worse.

A few minutes later, Shen Jin finally arrived at the scheduled location with 800 people under him.

This is an old forest, very quiet, and there is nothing unusual.

But Shen Jin knew that this place would be different soon.

He glanced at the watch newly issued by the imperial court in his hand, and found that it was only twenty or ten minutes before the arrival of the foreign land, and the expression on his face couldn't help being a little dignified.

"Hurry up, everyone get off their horses and set up a defensive position as soon as possible. The impact of extraordinary beasts will come soon. We must block these damned things at the entrance of the foreign land, and we cannot let them step into my Ming Dynasty."

"Yes!"

The strength of the 800 people with the lowest cultivation level is also very strong. In less than 10 minutes, the sandbags and trenches are complete.

A few minutes later, before the eyes of Shen Jin and others, the space was distorted for a while, and a huge transparent spot of light began to appear in the midair, and behind the spot were huge snakes.

The shortest of these snakes is three to four meters long, with a thick bowl mouth.

Even more exaggerated, some snakes have grown small horns on their heads.

But Shen Jin and the others were completely indifferent to this. As active combat troops on the front line, it was not the first time for them to face these strange beasts.

Before this mission, they had successfully completed three similar missions.

After today, this number will be refreshed again.

The moment the rich aura poured into the foreign land, countless snakes sensed it, and their hungry eyes turned green immediately felt the breath of food outside.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss!" Snakes, big and small, became excited immediately, and the group of snakes squirmed, seemingly slowly, but they rushed towards the node light spot where the two worlds merged very quickly.

They are going to enter their new world, they are going to hunt, and anything that stands in their way will be torn to shreds.

"preparation……."

"Let go!" Seeing the snakes gushing out in groups from the space channel, Shen Jin raised his hand expressionlessly, and then swung it down violently.

"Boom, boom, boom!" The sixteen small cannons that were also pulled over by Huolin immediately began to fire.

The current shells are not the same as before.

Seven years ago, the Academy of Sciences developed smokeless gunpowder, and then black powder was completely eliminated.

This kind of smokeless gunpowder is powerful and lethal, and the explosion has no huge smoke and dust to cover the battlefield. It is simply a weapon of war.

Every bomb that landed on the snakes could take away countless lives. In just one round of shelling, [-]% of the snakes were emptied.

"Continue, don't stop!" Shen Jin spoke again.

"The rest harvest the scattered guys and try not to let one escape."

"Crack, crack, crack!"

The sound of gunfire became more and more intense, and within a few minutes, these extraordinary creatures with low IQs, completely defenseless, and who didn't even know to hide felt the power of the fire of civilization.

"Hiss!" Suddenly there was a hiss among the snakes at this moment.

A pure white snake shot towards Shen Jin's position like a bolt of lightning.

"Heh...!" Shen Jin looked at this little snake whose speed was comparable to that of a rank-[-] martial artist, without any panic in his eyes, because he knew that someone would take care of this guy for him.
