I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 386: The sky is shattering!The overwhelming imperial power!

When the Jin Yiwei arrived, they took the Shaanxi chief envoy and the inspector into custody.

Countless officials from the local government had looks of shock in their eyes. They had never thought that one day, the inspectors and chief envoys who were domineering in Shaanxi and acting like local emperors would become prisoners!

You know, in the past, it was just a look from the Inspector and Chief Envoy.

I don’t know how many heads will fall to the ground!

And if these three people get upset one day and get angry, the whole of Shaanxi will be shaken!
But I didn't expect... that in front of His Highness Taisun, he could only surrender without mercy!
They were even embarrassed to the point of being sweating profusely, which was beyond their imagination. This was the end of their world in Shaanxi!Will it actually look like this?
And this...is the power of His Highness the Grand Sun!This is the unshakable imperial power of the Ming Dynasty!
Maybe a word from His Highness Taisun's mouth.

When it falls on them, it is as heavy as a mountain!It's like the sky is falling apart!
It makes people feel unable to resist at all!

I couldn't even think of a single thought of resistance, I only had endless regret in my heart!

But now that I regretted it, it was already too late!
The only solution for now is to grit our teeth and think desperately that we can get through this hurdle and rely on the method that the prefect of Hanzhong came up with just now to deal with His Highness the Grand Sun.

Shift all blame to the commander-in-chief!

……

Chengcheng County, county government.

Countless officials from all over Shaanxi gathered together, including the county magistrate of Chengcheng County, the prefect of Xi'an, the prefect of Hanzhong, political counselors, counselors, chief envoys, and inspectors...

Which official is not in charge of the life and death of countless people in Shaanxi?
But now he can only kneel down in the county government office. Facing Zhu Yunzhen, he can only bow his head and kneel down, not daring to show a trace of arrogance.

"It has been decades since the founding of the Ming Dynasty."

"Grandpa Huang has worked hard for decades, for what reason?"

Zhu Yunxu sat upright.

He asked: "What we want is nothing more than stability in the world, people living and working in peace and contentment, and peace and prosperity for the country and the people!"

"I think back then, Grandpa Huang was just a commoner in Huaiyou, and it was Grandpa Huang who shouldered all the important responsibilities in the world! After defeating Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng, and the remnants of Bei Yuan, the Ming Dynasty became what it is today!"

"Just now we have everything that is the Ming Dynasty today!"

"And you, as local officials and important local ministers! Instead of thinking about how to be loyal to the emperor and serve the country, you inflict more harm on the people under your rule!"

"It really makes Gu heartache!"

"It even makes me wonder how to explain it to Grandpa Huang!"

"Shaanxi has been governed like it is today. What else can you argue with?"

I heard Zhu Yunzhen say this.

A kind of officials all felt ashamed of themselves and had no face to see His Highness the Grand Sun and His Majesty the Emperor. This Hongwu Dynasty should have been even more brilliant!But it is precisely because of the presence of such moths that the situation of corruption in Shaanxi has been caused!
Especially His Highness Taisun’s New Deal.

This shouldn't be the case!This is a policy that should make the people of Shaanxi live a better life!
But it’s because of local officials like them!
They deceived the superiors and deceived the inferiors, and engaged in countless corruptions. In the end, Shaanxi became like this!
Yang Shiqi was extremely angry for a moment.

He stood up and said: "Since His Highness took charge of the country, the power of the Ming Dynasty has been booming. It can be said that it is changing with each passing day!"

"The people of Ming Dynasty should also benefit from it!"

"You are a minister of the Ming Dynasty and a scholar who came from the imperial examination, but you only have your own selfish interests!"

"Forgot the teachings of the saints and the people of Shaanxi!"

“It’s really hard to escape the blame for all deaths!”

"Not to mention, today you dare to gather more than ten thousand people to attack the county under the Ming Dynasty!"

"This is the height of audacity!"

"It's the same as rebellion! May I ask, do you still have the Ming Dynasty in your hearts? Do you still have His Majesty? Do you still have His Majesty the Grand Sun?"

below.

Facing Yang Shiqi's accusation.

Although the chief envoy and the inspector-general were already sweating profusely, they still stood up and called out the injustice.

"It's unjust, Your Highness!"

"Unjustly accused! I am not the one who wants to attack the city!"

The three people quickly explained: "I and others were just coerced by the commander-in-chief and had to come!"

"Most of these tens of thousands of people are soldiers brought by the commander-in-chief. We are just civil servants. We do not manage the place well. We really deserve death. But how can we have the courage to rebel?"

"It's all the commander-in-chief who coerced us!"

"Seeing the king's personal arrival, the three of us immediately waited for an opportunity to kill the commander and make the soldiers surrender."

"How could it be that we are deliberately rebelling?"

"I hope His Highness will notice clearly!"

The chief envoy and the inspector hurriedly cried out for injustice, but Zhu Yunzhen didn't even listen to a word. Not to mention that these three guys had already been on Zhu Yunzhen's must-kill list.

Even their words are not credible.

The chief envoy, the administrative envoy, and the general commander are all the same!
Do you think you can get away with your guilt by defecting in the middle of battle?

It’s too simple to think!Of course it was impossible for Zhu Yunzhen to let the three of them go so easily!

This is simply impossible!
But if you want this guy to tell the truth, you still need some means.

Zhu Yunzhen not only wants these guys to explain their crimes in detail, but also wants these guys to explain the real protection behind them!
After all, if there are no ministers in the court to help them cover up.

How could there be a chance to deceive someone for so long?Zhu Yunzhen never believed it!No matter what, we must find this hidden moth in the palace!

Naturally, Zhu Yunzhen would never do such a thing as appeasing an adulterer!

"Song Zhong, lock these three people up separately for interrogation."

"Tell them that as long as they explain clearly, I can consider giving them a whole corpse! I will only confiscate the family property, and if they are not satisfied, they will be executed!"

"But there is only one quota for this!"

Zhu Yunzhen continued the instructions. Although Song Zhong did not understand the meaning of Zhu Yunzhen, he still did it.

Executed without a word.

The reason why Zhu Yunzhen did this is also very simple. It is nothing more than the prisoner's dilemma.

For Zhu Yunxuan, it is a very simple theory.

But for Song Zhong, this was a method he had never thought of. Jin Yiwei had not developed for a long time until now. Jin Yiwei was good at torture.

But for Jin Yiwei, he hasn't accumulated much experience yet with this kind of mind-attacking method.

In fact, this method is not difficult, and Jin Yiwei will understand it sooner or later. However, in the 27th year of Hongwu, Jin Yiwei has not yet reached its true peak.

Moreover, relying on the imperial power, the Jin Yiwei's methods are often very rough.

After entering Beizhen Fusi Yamen, it is impossible to get a few layers of skin out!

To deal with ordinary corrupt officials, what psychological means are needed?If you torture them directly, you will naturally tell everything.

Therefore, Song Zhong was not very clear about Zhu Yunxuan's arrangements at first.

But after he imprisoned the three of them separately, he informed the three of them about the matter according to Zhu Yunxu's instructions.

Song Zhongcai discovered it.

His Highness Taisun's method really exceeded his imagination!The three of them almost rushed to confess their crimes first, fearing that they would be robbed if they spoke too slowly, so they explained their crimes and the crimes of others clearly.

There is no reason for it.

Just because the three of them know each other's virtues so well!

It is simply impossible to expect the three of them to strictly keep secrets!

In the county government office, the prefect of Hanzhong was already sweating profusely.

Although he was not the one being imprisoned, at this moment, he really wished that he was the one being imprisoned!In this way, at least you know whether you have confessed or not!
Have an initiative!

Instead of standing outside, as if there are ants crawling all over your body.

I can't calm down at all!
You know, the idea to kill the commander of the capital came from him!If the matter is exposed, he will naturally not be able to escape!
Maybe it was originally a crime of corruption, but it suddenly escalated to several levels!
Originally, he could be excused from assisting the inspectors, governors, and general commanders. After all, he was just the prefect of Hanzhong. How could he have any say in front of these frontier officials?

But now... it has pushed him into a vortex that he cannot enter!

A little carelessness is the end of eternal doom!
The prefect of Hanzhong's face became paler and paler. He raised his head from time to time and looked anxiously at the back hall of the county government office, wanting to know an answer.

But every time I look at it.

All they could see was Zhu Yunzhen's murderous eyes above him!

And when the three of them were dragged out by the Jin Yiwei like dead dogs, the Hanzhong magistrate immediately couldn't hold it up anymore and suddenly fell down from his original kneeling posture.

The whole person was unable to hold on.

I barely want to maintain my last bit of dignity and regain the arrogant attitude I had when I was in Hanzhong, facing countless people!
But at this moment, he was no longer facing the people who were so demanding.

But His Highness Taisun, who possesses immense power and supreme imperial power!The truly most powerful person in Ming Dynasty!True supremacy!
How could he stay calm?

Don't talk about him. Even if he stamps his feet in the land of Shaanxi, the chief envoy and the inspector will be shaken three times. How about being dragged by the Jin Yiwei like a dead dog?
What a prefect here!What an inspector!What chief envoy!

Everything is nothing!
Just because there is a grandson of the Ming Dynasty here!
No matter how prestigious you are in the outside world, you still have to grovel before His Highness the Grand Sun!And at this moment, they are prisoners, so naturally they cannot hold their heads high!
But Zhu Yunxuan has no time to care about what the corrupt officials below look like.

Just throw it away.

He threw the list of corrupt officials written by Lou Ziyou in front of everyone and said, "You can take a look for yourself."

"Fill up the roster by yourself. Who has embezzled or accepted bribes? How many taels have you embezzled in total?"

"Write it yourself."

"As long as the report is meritorious, 100 taels can be crossed out from behind the corrupt money."

"And Gu has only one rule."

"If your greed exceeds a thousand taels, you will be beheaded! If you exceed 10 taels, you will be Lingchi! If you exceed [-] taels, you will be beheaded!"

"And those who collaborate with the chief envoys, the administrative envoys, and the commanding envoys to rebel."

"Punish the Nine Clans!"

For a time, the officials in the hall were scrambling to get the roster.

Just like a hungry dog ​​pouncing on its food.

Zhu Yunxuan looked at these local officials who had no dignity, and he felt very angry. The dignified ministers of the Ming Dynasty looked like this!

No scholar’s ​​integrity at all!
Not even the slightest trace of face or dignity on their bodies!

However, these corrupt officials may be able to put on airs in front of others, and even act arrogantly in front of the people.

Show official authority.

But nothing can escape a person who bullies the weak and fears the strong.

These gestures disappeared after meeting Zhu Yunzhen!
"Song Zhong, have these three people fully explained themselves?"

Zhu Yunzhen asked.

Song Zhong immediately stepped forward and replied.

"His Highness is very clever, but just after he detained the three of them separately for a moment, they couldn't bear the pressure and confessed themselves."

"Let me tell you everything in detail."

"In these years, how many taels of silver have been embezzled by these people in Shaanxi Province, and how many officials below have been corrupted and bribed."

"How many officials have been promoted all the way through their connections."

"Everything has been explained. Even the officials in the court who acted as a protective shield for them and how many taels of silver they donated were all explained."

"It's just that things are complicated and need to be recorded in detail."

"We were able to sort out a detailed result just now."

Song Zhong looked at Zhu Yunzhen with admiration. He really didn't know how His Highness Taisun had such a long head. Originally, the three of them might have been stubborn for a while.

But it was so easy that the three of them explained everything.

Such torture methods can really be recorded, so that the various places of punishment and prosecution can learn from them, and the Jinyi Guards can also learn more.

After listening to Song Zhong's words, Zhu Yunzhen shook his head.

Said: "There is no need to wait, it won't be long before the officials here will write down the situation in Shaanxi in detail."

"In order to prevent themselves from being beheaded or imprisoned, these officials are probably eager to confess their own fathers."

"By the way, have you investigated the attack on the city just now?"

Song Zhong quickly told the story of what he knew.

It turned out that the inspectors, administrative envoys, and general commanders who had just been appointed were already thinking about retreating.

There was no plan to attack the city.

But it was someone among them who started to instigate and gave a few people a bad idea, and then the attack on the city happened.

And this person is none other than the corrupt official in Shaanxi, the prefect of Hanzhong!

After Zhu Yunzhen heard this, he said in a neutral tone: "Kill them all. The crime will be determined as rebellion, and the nine tribes will be punished."

"I want all local officials to remember this lesson."

"As for the others, they will be judged according to the amount of money they have. Those who deserve to be beheaded will be beheaded. Those who deserve to be executed will be executed."

"By the way, let Magistrate Fengxiang temporarily take over the post of Chief Envoy and manage the territory of Shaanxi."

"Waiting for the next round of appointments from the court."

Zhu Yunzhen looked at the chaotic scene below.

There was a coldness in his brows.

Said: "What happened here is over, it's time to return to Beijing and deal with the real big bug in the court!"

"I never thought that Gu would renovate the court many times."

"But there are still people who are quietly digging up the foundations of the Ming Dynasty!"

"I let him escape before."

"But this time... it's absolutely impossible to escape!"
