Chapter 316 Officials are causing trouble in private

Chapter 316: Officials are causing trouble in private
The wind rises at the end of Qingping and soars above the nine heavens.

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang took over everything at the court meeting and accomplished the matter of deposing the prime minister with one word.

But a system that has been passed down for thousands of years and has been inherited in an orderly manner has changed. The influence here cannot be forcibly erased no matter how high Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige is.

Although Zhu Yuanzhang could force everyone in the court to agree with his decision, he could not make everyone feel calm afterwards.

After all, what is affected here is the interests of all civil servants.

Even the generals had some complaints.

After all, it’s not uncommon for a military general to become a prime minister.

Zhu Yuanzhang was actually worried about this too.

When he made the decision on the spot, he felt domineering and happy, but the investigation and appeasement work afterwards still needed to be done.

He is reckless and domineering, but he will not treat court affairs as a matter of course.

No, with a domineering wave of his hand at the court meeting, Mao Xiang's Jin Yiwei was put to work in the blink of an eye.

"Mao Xiang, you have to ask your subordinates to be more careful this time!"

"What we want to know is what they think about the Prime Minister's dethronement!"

"Don't fool us with the nonsense they say in public!"

Mao Xiang was so excited that he spat out a mouthful of blood on the spot.

No, what does Your Majesty do as their royal guard?
Those men under our command are all professional policemen and detectives. How can they use what they say in public to make a deal?

Wouldn’t that be courting death?
Of course, Mao Xiang kept these words in his heart and cursed a few times. He did not dare to be stubborn with Zhu Yuanzhang.

This man is merciless when dealing with officials, let alone a royal servant like him.

Therefore, he nodded solemnly, expressed his determination slightly, then turned around and left.

This time, he had to show some ability in whatever he said.

When Mao Xiang returned to Jinyiwei Yamen, he was no longer the shrinking and submissive person he was before in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.

As the commander of the Jinyiwei, a real Jinyiwei is in charge, so Mao Xiangna naturally has a certain magnanimity there.

His sitting posture is very interesting!
He is neither standing up straight like a military commander, nor is he pretending to be like a civil servant. Instead, he looks a bit like a bandit leader.

On a large chair placed at the top of Jinyiwei's main hall, Mao Xiang stepped on the chair with one foot and put one hand on his knee.

The person leaned back, leaning slightly on the back of the chair, as if he was looking at the Wolf King below with squinting eyes.

And standing underneath were his wolves.

He glanced back and forth twice before saying in a hoarse voice: "I was scolded by His Majesty!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone's heart skipped a beat and their breathing became much lower.

The Jin Yiwei are both prosperous and devastated. How can they survive if the boss is scolded?
But Mao Xiang's next words made them feel even colder.

"It's okay to be scolded by His Majesty. We are His Majesty's hawks and dogs. I can bear the occasional scolding!"

"But there is something that makes me feel a little uncomfortable!"

"When His Majesty told me to collect information, he suspected that I would deal with it later with ordinary information circulating on the street!"

Mao Xiang's slightly sparse eyebrows were now squeezed together tightly. He looked at the people below with a pair of triangular eyes and said through gritted teeth.

“To be an eagle dog, you must have the consciousness of being an eagle dog!”

"It doesn't matter if you get scolded by the master. This is the kind of treatment only your own family can get!"

"But if the master despises it and is useless, then we will die if we don't manage it!" !”

"I think no one can live a good life and think about being a dog!"

Mao Xiang looked at everyone fiercely with his triangular eyes. It was not until everyone lowered their heads to avoid his direct gaze that he suddenly raised his voice and shouted loudly.

"I don't know how many more opportunities His Majesty will give us, but I regard this as my last chance!"

"So, let me mobilize you all and let me do the job beautifully!"

"Whoever dares to make trouble for us will kill his whole family before I am killed by Your Majesty!"

"Do you understand?"

Everyone shuddered when they heard this, and then shouted "Understood!"

Mao Xiang looked around at everyone again and then nodded: "Okay, then I will wait for your results!"

I have to say that if Jin Yiwei is ruthless, he is really ruthless.

With the help of various spies lurking in the homes of civil and military officials, in just two days, all the private complaints and discussion records of various officials were collected into Mao Xiang's hands.

Looking at the dense list in his hand and the thick pile of records next to him, Mao Xiang finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He sorted out the information at hand, looked over it himself, then changed into a new set of clothes and strode towards the palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang took the "record" sent by Mao Xiang and remained silent for a long time!
Although he guessed that this group of officials would not be too peaceful after returning, he did not expect that almost all officials would complain about this.

It's not that they are complaining about people like Li Shanchang, Wang Guangyang, and Yang Xian, but they feel that their future future is very gloomy.

At the same time, many people felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was just messing around, and how could he mess with a system that had existed for a thousand or two thousand years.

Looking at the long list on the record, Zhu Yuanzhang also felt a little uneasy.

Zhu Biao, who was also watching from the side, let out a long sigh.

"Father, it seems that this matter has reached a point where it is urgent to delay!"

"We cannot allow the situation to continue like this, otherwise the court will be unstable!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded heavily.

After Zhu Biao hesitated for a moment, he whispered: "Father, these people are all focused on the prime minister, so we might as well find something for them!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head sharply and looked at Zhu Biao: "If Biao'er has any great opinions, you might as well tell him!"

Zhu Biao rubbed his hands and said solemnly.

"The reason why these officials are so excited is simply because they feel that their dream of becoming a marquis and becoming a prime minister cannot be realized."

"For these sub-officials, their official position is their biggest concern."

"Since the father and emperor have abolished the system of prime minister, it is absolutely impossible to re-establish it."

"But we can also think about official positions!"

When Zhu Biao said this, he laughed first, but his smile was particularly playful.

"Right now, there are a lot of vacancies for middle and low-level officials!"

"Then let's simply open the floodgates and vigorously promote and recruit officials!"

"With all this excitement, who still remembers the position of Prime Minister?"

"After all, ninety-nine percent of officials have nothing to do with the position of prime minister in this life, right?"
