Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 179
There was a sudden movement in the court outside Huangji Gate. Hundreds of armored warriors gathered from all over the place and ran quickly towards each place with clear goals.

"Where is Sun Nian, the head of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs?"

"Head of the Shaanxi Officials Department of the Ministry of Household Affairs..."

Shouts rang out from all over the courtroom. The faces of the officials whose names were read out all changed slightly. However, they were dragged out of the courtroom without allowing them to react. Some officials who did not react staggered and fell. He fell to the ground, and the black gauze hat he was wearing fell to the ground, but it was dragged like a dog.

"Emperor~"

The sudden scene made Zhu Youjian, who was standing in front of the emperor, subconsciously want to say something, but was stopped by Wei Shitai on the side, who shook his head slightly to signal to Zhu Youjian.

"Your Majesty, why are you like this?"

In the courtroom, Fang Zhenru was very excited. Looking at the scene in front of him, he rushed towards the imperial court holding the imperial scepter, "The great court meeting is the most important meeting of the country..."

"What? Do you think I'm doing something wrong?"

Zhu Youxiao held the Emperor's Sword and turned around to look at Fang Zhenru, "Don't I know what kind of occasion the imperial dynasty will be? Don't I know that the dignity and face of the dynasty need to be maintained?
Do you know what these traitorous ministers who receive official salaries and eat royal food are doing in private? !

They are behind the farce sweeping Gyeonggi Province. They think they have hidden enough secrets, so they think it is impossible to expose them. This is really a big joke! ! "

"hurry up!!"

As soon as Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Liu Ruoyu, the eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, commanded a group of eunuchs from the inner court to gather in front of the emperor holding stacks of documents.

The atmosphere suddenly changed.

Qunfu Han Xu, Zhu Guozuo, He Zongyan, Shen, Shi Jikai, the Minister of Personnel Cui Jingrong, the Minister of Hubu Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Rites Sun Ruyou, the Minister of War Wang Xiangqian, the Minister of Punishment Huang Kezhan, the Minister of Industry Wang Yongguang...the expressions of these courtiers are all... changed.

In the past, when Gyeonggi Province raised food prices, so many people in the DPRK were secretly involved?
It's just that among the court, some people's eyes became evasive. Most of the courtiers who were arrested were officials of the fifth and sixth grades. It seems that this kind of official rank would be great in the local area, but in the capital, they are just small fish and small things. shrimp……

"After investigation, it was found that Qi Guowei, Chen Zhizhong, Zhao Liangdong, Ge Chun and other traitors who were major grain merchants in the capital had secretly colluded with Sun Nian, the head of the Civil Affairs Department of the Ministry of Civil Affairs..."

The eunuchs of the inner court were holding the documents and pacing everywhere, carrying the documents and documents they held on their backs, and every piece of them was not missing.

"Officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!!"

Zhu Youxiao looked at one place with stern eyes, "What do you think when you hear this? Who can explain to me why no one found out what these traitorous officials did?"

Qi Shijiao, the censor of the right capital, Sun Juxiang, the deputy censor of the left capital, Li Banghua, the censor of the left capital, Yuan Yingtai, the censor of the right capital, and other officials of the Procuratorate all lowered their heads and showed different expressions. No one expected that The emperor will come like this.

Dozens of mid-level and low-level Beijing officials were arrested. If it had been done at any other time, it would not have caused any disturbance at all. After all, there were so many officials in Beijing.

However, they were arrested by a group of personal guards outside the unfinished Huangji Gate during the great court meeting, and things became different.

'Everyone is hidden deep enough. '

Zhu Youxiao, who was holding the Emperor's Sword in his hand, looked around at the class in front of him with sharp eyes, "This is a big farce. Only these small fish and shrimps have been exposed. I really underestimated some of you. It's okay." I have plenty of time and patience, so I can play with you slowly. "The Ming Dynasty, which is rotten to the core, cannot be saved by political compromise. We must have the courage of a strong man to cut off his wrists and create a political atmosphere where corruption is caught and killed, just like peeling an onion, layer by layer. Zhu Youxiao didn't believe this, he couldn't touch the deepest part yet!

"The farce of raising food prices in Gyeonggi is not what annoys me the most."

Zhu Youxiao raised his chin slightly, and through his slightly swaying crown, he said with an arrogant expression: "What annoys me the most is that under this farce, someone from Cangchang was deported to Beijing to deliver grain, and he quietly participated in it, haha ...Cauling grain, this is the fundamental thing to maintain the country, but some people dare to think about it."

This great court meeting was different from the previous great court meetings. It was more about Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Tomorrow, who had more to say. The civil and military officials who participated in the great court meeting were shocked by what was revealed one by one.

No one can figure out the emperor's thoughts.

No one can guess the emperor's thoughts.

As for the civil servants of the outer dynasties, they are not afraid of the emperor being fatuous and lazy, let alone enjoying himself. What scares them most is not knowing some things.

Like now...

"Cui Chengxiu, the right concubine of Zhan Shifu, is still in Tongzhou and has not returned to the capital." Zhu Youxiao continued: "The Zhongcang, Nancang, Dongcang and Xicang built in Tongzhou are in ruins. The grain delivered to Beijing is actually It’s probably old grain that’s been adulterated, and the new grain is no more than a thousand kilograms, okay, it’s all ruined like this, isn’t it?!”

At this moment, Bi Ziyan, the Minister of Household Affairs, and Wang Ji, the Minister of Cangchang, all changed their expressions. This was actually the case in Zhongcang, Nancang, Dongcang, and Xicang under Tongzhou.

Especially the new Cangchang Shangshu Wang Ji, cold sweat began to break out on his forehead, and his hand holding the imperial wat began to tremble.

"Bi Ziyan!!"

"Chen is here!"

Bi Ziyan hurriedly walked out of the courtroom, and at this moment, Wang Ji's heart tightened. Regarding matters involving Cangchang, the emperor did not call him, but called Bi Ziyan, which explained something.

"Cangchang is directly under the Ministry of Household Affairs. However, Cangchang has important matters, so it will be managed by a minister with the title of Minister."

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "You are in charge of household affairs. I asked you to check the household deficit before. Now it seems that the inventory of household deficit has been transferred to Jingtong warehouses. I would like to take a look. What other things are in ruins!!”

"The minister obeys the order."

Bi Ziyan immediately bowed in response.

The warehouse is a big deal. Whether it is the warehouses in the capital or the warehouses in Tongzhou, they are extremely important. They not only bear the expenses and supplies needed to defend the capital, but also carry many powers, such as disaster relief, Such as urgent dialing, such as flat dialing...

"You should select your personnel now and go to Cangchang's archives to review the corresponding memorials for me. All officials involved in Cangchang will be sent to the Metropolitan Procuratorate for me."

Zhu Youxiao pointed at Bi Ziyan and said: "If we can't find out this matter, if any of the officials in Cangchang dares to leave the Metropolitan Procuratorate without permission, then the Nine Clans will be implicated!!"

Zhu Youxiao will take it seriously this time. One is affected by the farce in the capital, and the other is that Liao is about to become turbulent. He will use his own way to eliminate all the civil servants in Beijing who have no time to take care of them. , since you are not pursuing your duties in your position, then I will play the game of power with you, making all the provinces noisy and disrupting some established plans and arrangements...
