Daming: I am the most powerful emperor grandson, please abdicate the throne

Chapter 405 Clan Power
  "Is what you said true?"

Zhu Xuan looked at Ji Wenjing and asked.

Divination is not so magical and mysterious. Ji Wenjing is sure that something will happen in Shunde. In fact, it is because he does not trust the officials in Shunde.

The fragile river embankments cannot withstand the floods caused by the passage of typhoons.

"of course it's true."

Ji Wenjing said with certainty: "Corrupt officials are rampant in the local area, and they have the support of the clan. You must know that a clan with a strong population can be said to be unscrupulous in a place and do whatever they want. They can basically do whatever they want in Shunde." Covering the sky, no one can shake it.”

"wrong!"

Zhu Xuan quickly found the error and retorted: "Officials cannot return to their place of residence to become the highest official. How can those officials have the support of clan forces behind them?"

Ji Wenjing said: "If a foreign official is afraid of the huge clan power? Many times, foreign officials can only choose to submit. If foreign officials are not pure in mind, they are corrupt officials themselves. They hit it off immediately, collude with others, and officials who dare to resist, I'm afraid that my death will be unclear and the court won't be able to find anything."

Zhu Xuan was silent.

Because everything Ji Wenjing said exists and makes sense.

Not to mention that the clan power at this time was very strong, even in modern society hundreds of years later.

For example, the struggle for water on the Shahe River basically involves the chiefs of several clans leading their people to fight with weapons. Similar situations include not only fighting for water, but also fighting for fields, the location of ancestral graves, etc.

Hundreds of years later, certain clans with deep conflicts often had fights, especially during the Qingming and other periods when clan members gathered to worship their ancestors.

Zhu Xuan remembered that one of his classmates said that when he went home to worship his ancestors during the Qingming Festival, he had to bring machetes and other fighting weapons.

The local officials have no control over this situation. They can only send the police to guard the village entrance or near the ancestral graves during the Qingming Festival. If they see that they have the momentum to fight, they will mediate. If they cannot mediate, they can only let them fight. When the fight is almost over, help call an ambulance.

They dare not intervene.

Unless violent intervention occurs.

"I guessed the result based on the situation in Shunde, but I didn't expect that I guessed it right."

Ji Wenjing sighed and said: "It just hurts the local people."

Zhu Xuan's eyes were filled with murderous intent.

If it is true as Ji Wenjing said, then all local officials should die.

In the letter for help sent by Shunde, he didn't even dare to write clearly about the specific situation, hoping to fool Xu Qi and others.

However, Yan Guan had arranged for Jin Yiwei to investigate, and Zhu Xuan did not immediately go to Shunde to kill people. He would wait for the results of Jin Yiwei's investigation before deciding what to do.

In addition, in order to facilitate the construction of water conservancy projects, he also arranged for some technical personnel to serve as supervisors and provide technical support.

The supervisor in Shunde has not yet received any relevant news.

Unless the supervisor was in cahoots with the locals and concealed the corruption.

If this is really the case, Zhu Xuan must conduct a large-scale investigation of the Science Pavilion. Such people cannot be tolerated in the Science Pavilion.

He gave the students of the Science Pavilion generous benefits. If he was greedy in this way, these people would all deserve to die.

"Your Highness, you are a bit scary."

Cen Hua said softly.

When Ji Wenjing saw the murderous Zhu Xuan, he just narrowed his eyes and thought that he was indeed Zhu Xuan's grandson. When he heard about corrupt officials, the first thing he thought of was killing.

He may also be a ruthless emperor in the future.

At the age of twelve, he has already shown his talents.

If it were a twelve-year-old child in other people's homes, he would be either mischievous or catching toads in the muddy ditch.

Ji Wenjing had to lament that the children of Lao Zhu's family were not fuel-efficient lamps.

"what should we do?"

Cen Hua asked softly again.

Zhu Xuan suppressed his anger and exhaled: "If the results of Jinyiwei's wait are true and they dare to take my things, then they are looking for death."

There is not a grain of sand in their eyes. Corrupt officials are this kind of sand.

"Although I lied to His Highness, through this incident, Your Highness should believe in my abilities, right?"

Ji Wenjing said sincerely: "I can help His Highness to sit in the highest position."

Even if he doesn't need his help, that position is basically reserved by Zhu Xuan.

As long as there are no other accidents, Zhu Xuan will be the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

"Let's talk about it later!"

Zhu Xuan suppressed his murderous intention and temporarily put away other thoughts.

It is better to wait for the results of the investigation on Ji Wenjing to come out before deciding whether to use this person.

He didn't want Xuan Yueze's incident to happen again around him.

Zhu Xuan thought about what Ji Wenjing said, and then said: "You said that there is a disaster in your life, are you lying to me, right?"

"That's absolutely true!"

Ji Wenjing shook his head and said: "This matter is related to my fate. I don't dare to arrange it randomly. If His Highness doesn't believe it, there's nothing I can do about it."

These words are true and false, false and true.

Zhu Xuan didn't know how to tell the difference, so he could only continue to stare at Ji Wenjing as they returned to the corridor.

The surface of Zhilan Lake was wrinkled by the wind, causing ripples in circles.

Just like Zhu Xuan's heart, it is also rippling now and cannot calm down.

Not only because Ji Wenjing couldn't calm down, but also because those corrupt officials, even people in the Science Cabinet, might have committed corruption without telling him. Finally, he understood why the emperor hated corrupt officials so much. Such people are the worms of the Ming Dynasty. How many people died.

"Your Highness!"

Cen Hua sat next to her and comforted her softly: "Those corrupt officials are hateful, but your Highness must not make yourself angry because of them."

"It's not enough to make yourself mad."

Zhu Xuan laughed out loud, picked up the stones placed on the corridor, and threw them hard into Zhilan Lake, making a splashing sound to soothe his mood, and then said: "Thank you, little sister Hua'er, for coming to comfort me. "

Cen Hua showed a bright smile and said, "I will make an exception today and not compete with you."

Zhu Xuan couldn't help but laugh again and pinched Cen Hua's little nose.

Cen Hua lowered her head shyly and sat next to Zhu Xuan, her calves hanging down on the soft couch and swaying gently.

-

a few days later.

The news of Jin Yiwei hasn't come back yet, so Xu Qi comes looking for him eagerly again.

"Your Highness, something bad happened in Shunde. I...Your Highness should take a look..."

Xu Qi didn't dare to say it himself, so he could only hand the document to Zhu Xuan to read.

Zhu Xuan took it and opened it and read it. Before he could read the above content, he suddenly became murderous again and said angrily: "Some people killed officials and rebelled, robbed food, and turned into bandits. Didn't I ask you to provide disaster relief? Even me We also asked the trading port to allocate all the grain for export and send it to Shunde for disaster relief first. Why would the people kill officials and rebel?"

The man who led the rebellion had gathered more than three thousand people.

It is possible for a bandit of this size to directly attack the small county in Shunde.

It is even possible that one after another people will defect to the person leading the rebellion.

The thinking of the people is very simple. Even if a disaster occurs, they will be satisfied as long as they have a mouthful of food. Under normal circumstances, it is impossible to rebel.

If you must resist, you will probably starve to death.

No matter what, it's death, don't give up and give it a try.

From this point of view, Ji Wenjing was right. The local officials were very problematic!
