Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 954: Extracting pus and squeezing sores (1)

Privileges will never disappear, nor will they be abolished. As long as there is power, there will be privileges, and this is something that no one can change.

but.

What Zhu Youxiao wants to do.

He, the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wants all those privileged people to understand one thing: whatever you have done, it is best not to expose it forever, so that you can still do whatever you want. But once it is exposed, as long as it violates the laws of the Ming Dynasty, you will be severely punished!

The arrest of Zhu Chunchen, Xu Xigao and other sophisticated egoists was not just a simple act of catching the scum among the nobles. It was also an important watershed in improving the control over the nobles, and it also demonstrated the determination to strictly rectify the administration of officials!

"The reactions from each one are huge enough."

Xiyuan.

Ok Hee Palace.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and threw away the secret report. "When I ascended the throne, I appointed a group of nobles to take charge of the imperial guards. I made the guards of the Forbidden City and the Imperial City independent and separated all matters from the outer court. They were jumping around as if this would mean the end of the Ming Dynasty."

"Honoured nobles are people who have made outstanding contributions to the court and the country. It is a positive reward and honor."

"But in the end, it was twisted by some people and turned into something that could threaten the foundation. Haha, this is really a huge joke."

"Now, I want to severely punish a group of parasites according to the law. It's like killing their own parents. They start to jump up and down again. It's really ridiculous."

"Your Majesty is wise."

Liu Chao lowered his head and bowed, saying, "The various public opinions that have emerged in the court and the public are more intended to stir up trouble. Some people are afraid, especially the remaining factions in the court, whose hometowns are in the southeastern provinces. They are afraid that such things may become the norm in the future."

"Keep watching me closely."

Zhu Youxiao said nonchalantly: "If I don't get rid of those pests in the southeastern provinces one by one, the southeast will continue to be in chaos."

"I just don't believe it. All land under heaven belongs to the king, and all people in the land are his subjects. I can't wipe out all the so-called cliques that have grown up in the southeast!"

The longer Zhu Youxiao governed the country, the more he understood one thing: unless he completely destroyed some deeply hidden things, he would not be able to reverse the social atmosphere.

This is also the reason why, when a group of corrupt officials are arrested and killed, and a new group of people take over, corrupt officials appear again not long after.

It's just like cutting leeks, one crop after another.

"Liu Ruoyu."

"The servant is here."

Zhu Youxiao stared at a memorial on the imperial desk, a look of relief between his brows. The political ecology he had been expecting finally showed signs of returning.

"Send the memorial submitted by Jie Xuelong from the Procuratorate, which impeaches the border generals for their corruption, to the Military Affairs Council." Zhu Youxiao lifted his robe and picked up the memorial, saying in a cold tone.

"It's been a long time. I have been strictly enforcing the administration of officials and strictly disciplining the army, but in some places, such things still happen."

"Order the Military Procuratorate to dispatch personnel to the nine borders to conduct a thorough investigation of this matter. I want to see whether this is true or false!"

"The slaves obey the orders!"

Liu Ruoyu hurriedly took it with both hands, then bowed his head and responded. It is true that judicial and supervisory agencies related to the military were previously planned and established, but in the past they have always been improving the various departments under their jurisdiction and clarifying the scope of their respective powers, and have not really started to perform their duties. Now that someone has stirred up trouble in the Nine Frontiers, Zhu Youxiao feels that it is time to call them out.

In Zhu Youxiao's view, there is no difference between governing the army and governing the local areas. Both must be governed strictly, especially matters involving the military, which must be even stricter.

Since Zhu Youxiao was determined to separate the military and politics, then all the government offices used for government affairs must also be used for military affairs. Perhaps the scale of the army will never be larger than that of the people, but the army is special. It is a violent armed force. If they are not straightened out from the beginning, even if one takes great pains to reorganize the army and make changes to the Ming army, this trend will not last long and will inevitably degenerate quickly.

This is definitely not what Zhu Youxiao wanted to see.

"Liu Chao."

"The servant is here."

Liu Chao, who was about to leave, now hurriedly bowed and saluted.

"Pick reliable personnel from the inner factory and send them to convey my instructions to Qin Bangping."

Zhu Youxiao thought for a moment, then stretched out his hand to Liu Chao and said, "From now on, keep an eye on the nine frontiers, especially those few. Once the people from the Military Procuratorate go to Yulin and other places, there will definitely be some changes."

"I don't want anything to happen in the Nine Borders. Keeping things secret is not the right way to solve a stubborn problem. We need to fix it when it's time."

"The slaves obey the order."

Liu Chao immediately bowed in response.

But I felt surprised in my heart.

Our emperor is planning to take action on the northwestern border. Since Qin Bangping was ordered to inspect the nine borders, he has found out a lot of things, but what makes everyone feel strange is that the emperor seems to have forgotten about these places and has not interfered too much.

Those who don't know about this may not care.

But those who knew about this were all trying to figure out what it meant. But now, the emperor suddenly attached importance to this matter. Liu Chao had a premonition that Qin Bangping and his gang of fierce generals who had been away might stir up a big disturbance in the northwestern border next.

But is this really the time?

Liu Chao was wondering in his heart. He was a little worried that something might go wrong in the northwest. Would this affect the stability of the court and the southeast?

'It's time to move Sun Chuanting's position.'

However, Zhu Youxiao didn't care at all about what Liu Chao thought. Right now, he was thinking about one thing: the matter in the northwest had reached a point where it could no longer be delayed.

Not only the military, but also the local governments need to make some moves.

"However, Sun Chuanting's qualifications are not reliable for him to be directly appointed as the governor of the three borders."

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself, "The position of Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu is not bad. If he can really solve the problems in the northwest border, he can then serve as the Governor-General of the Three Borders and then reform the local system in the northwest."

"If we want to solve the problem in the northwest, we must also solve the problem of food and grass supply. How can we ask Zhu Xieyuan to help Sun Chuanting to the best of his ability in the rectification of the northwest?"

'There is also a vacancy for the post of Governor of Yunyang. Who should be appointed to take the post? This position is also very important. The intensive handicraft manufacturing industry centered in Yunyang and Hanzhong cannot be stagnant. Otherwise, all that Sun Chuanting has done during his tenure will be in vain.'

Because he wanted to solve some problems in the northwest, Zhu Youxiao had to take all aspects into consideration. If any one aspect was not taken into consideration, it might bring certain hidden dangers and risks.
