Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 962 Internal and External Training (1)

"I am the culprit. He is right."

Ok Hee Palace.

Zhu Youxiao put down the memorial and showed a half-smile. When Jiang Chen heard this, he lowered his head even more. As a minister, how could he hear such words?

If the emperor is really the culprit of the Liaodong incident, then wouldn’t everyone in the world be an accomplice?
"To those who are selfish, what I have done is to destroy the rules of the past."

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "As the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, you should stay in the Forbidden City and rely on a group of ministers to handle state affairs. As for other things, don't get involved too much."

"When a disaster occurs, the imperial court can allocate silver for disaster relief. As for how much of the money and grain is actually used for disaster relief, that is not important. What is important is not to let the masters delay collecting money."

"Look at the current Ming Dynasty. How many changes have taken place since before I ascended the throne? Many rules have been broken. How can we not be anxious?"

Jiang Chen didn't know how to answer for a moment.

However, as the emperor said, the current Ming Dynasty has changed a lot compared to the previous one. For example, the intensive handicraft manufacturing industry has resettled countless bankrupt people. These people should have been the self-cultivating farmers of the Ming Dynasty and one of the important supports of the Ming Dynasty's finances.

However, due to natural disasters and man-made calamities, as well as plunder, the land under their names was gradually occupied.

The court's taxes were reduced.

They also lost hope.

If there were no intensive handicraft manufacturing industry and no work-for-relief, these people would either sell themselves into slavery or wander around, but no matter which one, despair would accompany them for the rest of their lives.

This incident even reminded Jiang Chen of the White Lotus Rebellion that had occurred in Shandong earlier. With the current turmoil in the southeast, civil unrest will occur from time to time. When these people are forced into desperate situations, rebellion is the only way out.

"Let me investigate this matter thoroughly!!"

Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone: "If this is the case, I now suspect that they are not the only ones involved in the Liaodong incident. This group of treacherous people must have close ties with some people in the southeast, or even people from other places."

"The Ming Dynasty is what it is today because there are too many rampant people."

"If I don't uproot them all, then the Ming Dynasty will never be able to recover its national strength and return to the pinnacle of national destiny. Everything I have done before will become a laughing stock in the end!!"

"Your Majesty is wise."

Jiang Chen hurriedly said: "As for the current situation, Xiao Niezhong and his men have already found a lot in Liaodong, and with the help of Li Ruolian, some people have been controlled."

"Although the Liaodong governor-general is planning the governance of Liaodi and the conflict between the Mongols and the Manchus, his attitude on this matter is very clear. He will fully cooperate with the detective team to thoroughly investigate this case."

"Then don't worry about anything!"

Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "I was able to use several years to stabilize Liaodong, where people's hearts were unstable, and make Liaodong have the changes it has today under the support of various new policies and policies."

"Then I am also determined to arrest all the corrupt people."

“Anyone who wants to destroy Liaodong’s hard-earned development, regardless of whether they have made contributions to the court before, will only end up with one fate: death!!”

The political ecology of the Ming Dynasty was corrupt in the past.

Zhu Youxiao knew better than anyone that it would not be possible to reverse the political ecology in a short period of time. During this period, there would inevitably be a group of new people who would forget their original intentions under choices and temptations. Zhu Youxiao would not even look at such people. With such unsteady beliefs, these were not the people he wanted.

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I think needs to be investigated more vigorously."

In this situation, Jiang Chen told the truth.

Zhu Youxiao frowned.

Now he wished he could kill Zhu Chunchen and his gang of treacherous villains immediately, but reason told Zhu Youxiao that now was not the time to kill them.

Even if you want to kill someone, you have to investigate the matter thoroughly.

"In Liaodong, it seems that someone from the Tong family is secretly fanning the flames."

Jiang Chen bowed and said, "As far as I know, after the successive setbacks of the Jianlu, especially the killing of the treacherous officials in Shanxi, all branches of the Tong family in Liaodong fled to the Jianlu side, but now they have revived. Through this line, I have also found that the people here seem to have close ties with certain places in the southeast."

"By sea?"

Zhu Youxiao frowned.

"Exactly."

Jiang Chen nodded and said, "It was with this in mind that I looked through many files and documents and found two people who seemed to have been overlooked."

"Who?"

Zhu Youxiao asked doubtfully.

"Tong Yangxing, Tong Yangzhen."

Jiang Chen said: "When we were in Shandong, the Jinyiwei and other officials thoroughly investigated the important case and eradicated the remnants of the White Lotus, the hidden stings of the Jianlu, and the remnants of the treacherous villains in Shanxi. However, these two thieves escaped. Although the Jinyiwei is also investigating this matter, there has been no progress."

It's them.

Zhu Youxiao then remembered that he had too many things to do before and he had long forgotten about these two people, but now these two people popped up again.

"I am a little suspicious now."

Under Zhu Youxiao's gaze, Jiang Chen expressed his thoughts, "These two thieves must have fled to the southeast earlier. No one knows where they went. During this period, they seemed to have contacted some people."

"Then investigate further."

Zhu Youxiao frowned and said, "If necessary, you can send people to the southeast. In my opinion, the southeast is a dirty place. The evil spirits hiding in secret places think that they are the masters of the southeast. Whatever they do, it is what they should do. Humph, this is simply ridiculous!"

"The minister obeys the order!"

Jiang Chen hurriedly bowed and saluted.

What Jiang Chen said made Zhu Youxiao understand that if all the warlords in the southeast were not wiped out, the Ming Dynasty would never have peace.

However, valves on the surface are easy to solve, but the problems that are hidden are difficult to solve.

They are like parasites on the Ming Dynasty. If we don't have the determination to get rid of them, the Ming Dynasty will continue to lose its vitality. But if we really want to get rid of them, the Ming Dynasty itself will also feel pain.

But in Zhu Youxiao's view, no matter how painful it was, he had to get rid of these parasites. If he didn't, the Ming Dynasty would most likely be doomed.

The more secrets he knew and the wider the levels he came into contact with, the more Zhu Youxiao realized that what he was doing was much more difficult than conquering the world all over again. This was facing the dregs left over from thousands of years, or even longer. This could also explain why some things could have a better trend, but in the end they came to an abrupt end. Knowing this, Zhu Youxiao paid more and more attention to his own safety. If he couldn't stop it, then solving the source was undoubtedly the best choice...
