Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 47 Zhu Yuanzhang’s trial is here!

"Your Majesty, if this continues, the court will be in chaos!"

"How can we enforce the laws of the Ming Dynasty like this!"

"These are Wang Zhi's top ten crimes listed by me. Your Majesty, please take a closer look!"

After finishing the list of crimes, Shang Ren said, "Please, Your Majesty, abolish the West Factory!"

Wan An, Liu Jue, and Liu Ji also stood up and said, "Please, Your Majesty, abolish the West Factory!"

Zhu Jianshen looked at the listed crimes and knew that it would not be justified if he did not express it this time.

Many ministers are in high positions. Seeing this situation, they will not give up until the West Factory is abolished.

Just when Zhu Jianshen was about to speak, Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang also appeared in Fengtian Hall.

"Bold! Who are you?" The eunuch next to him saw Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang for the first time.

Suddenly everyone's eyes were attracted to Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Dragon robe! Who dares to wear a dragon robe!"

"This is a rebellion!"

The dragon robe on Zhu Yuanzhang was so conspicuous that he was recognized by others immediately.

"Someone! Get it!"

"Get the rebels down!"

There is nothing wrong with seeing someone wearing a dragon robe defined as a rebel.

"Presumptuous!" Zhu Yuanzhang's majestic voice suddenly sounded.

This momentum is a bit scary. The momentum of being in a high position without being angry and self-defeating is too strong.

"Who are you?" Zhu Jianshen was no longer calm. Zhu Yuanzhang looked a little familiar.

"Can't you recognize who we are?" Zhu Yuanzhang led Xiao Ran slowly towards Zhu Jianshen's dragon chair.

"Here comes someone to escort you!" the eunuch shouted, and a group of royal guards rushed in.

He was afraid that Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang were assassins.

"We are Zhu Yuanzhang, our ancestor!" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Jianshen angrily and said.

Zhu Jianshen frowned. His first reaction was that it was impossible. Zhu Yuanzhang had been dead for many years.

But looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's dragon robe and Zhu Yuanzhang's momentum, Zhu Jianshen felt a little wary.

This is bloodline suppression in the bones.

"You" Zhu Jianshen pointed at Zhu Yuanzhang, "How is it possible? Emperor Taizu Gao has passed away many years ago!"

"Don't you know the portraits in the Ancestral Temple?" Xiao Ran reminded.

The emperor often went to the Ancestral Temple to worship his ancestors, so it was impossible not to recognize Zhu Yuanzhang's portrait.

When Zhu Jianshen heard what Xiao Ran said, the more he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, the more familiar he felt.

"Don't doubt our identity, you won't forget your previous order, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang reminded, "We are here to help you!"

When others heard Zhu Yuanzhang talking about the list, Zhu Jianshen understood what Zhu Yuanzhang meant instantly.

Zhu Jianshen stood up without any doubt.

If the orders from Super Dimension Company are true, then the appearance of Emperor Taizu Gao seems to be acceptable.

"The descendants of future generations, Zhu Jianshen, pay homage to Emperor Taizu Gao!" Zhu Jianshen quickly knelt down and saluted.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, walked directly to the dragon chair and sat down, looking down at the officials of Fengtian Hall.

Seeing Zhu Jianshen admit it, others also understood that this Zhu Yuanzhang should be real.

After all, it is incredible to dare to wear a dragon robe, and Zhu Yuanzhang's aura and majesty are not something ordinary people can have.

Even Zhu Jianshen can't compare, and his momentum is much weaker than Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Jianshen inherited the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was the emperor immediately, and the founding emperor of the country with great talent and strategy, it is definitely different.

"My lord, pay homage to Emperor Taizu Gao!"

All civil and military officials also knelt down. Zhu Jianshen admitted it, so they had to admit it too.

"Well, everyone, get up!" Zhu Yuanzhang was quite satisfied with this.

"It's true that we are Zhu Yuanzhang. As for how we came here, you don't need to know."

"We came here because we have something to deal with, and we want to see how the Zhu family's descendants are doing."

Zhu Yuanzhang briefly explained the purpose of his visit.

Shang Ren looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and hesitated to speak.

He wanted to say something about Xichang, but after looking at Zhu Jianshen, Shang Ren still didn't say anything.

Talking to Zhu Yuanzhang now is a bit of a leap of faith, which will only make it difficult for Zhu Jianshen.

Moreover, Zhu Jianshen did not say that the West Factory would not be abolished.

There is no need to offend Zhu Jianshen with this unnecessary move. Zhu Yuanzhang's previous words indicated that he would not stay here for too long and was just here to take a look.

"We are here. If there are corrupt officials, we will not let them go. Even if they are the emperor, we will still punish them."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at everyone in Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang patted Xiao Ran on the shoulder, "Xiao Ran, he is a person from hundreds of years later. He knows what happened in the Ming Dynasty. Some things you haven't done now, but you will do in the future. If we kill you now, don't do it either. I feel wronged.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's words shocked all the civil and military officials.

Thinking of Hongwu's fear of being dominated.

"You were talking about Xichang before, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.

"Back to Taizu, yes, some of my beloved ministers said that the West Factory should be abolished." Zhu Jianshen said respectfully.

Zhu Yuanzhang's words and actions are becoming more and more like him, and it is impossible to pretend to have a decisive and decisive temperament.

This is Zhu Yuanzhang, there is no mistake.

Now Zhu Jianshen has no doubt about Zhu Yuanzhang's identity.

"Xiao Ran, what do you think? We don't know much about this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang asked what Xiao Ran meant.

"In the long run, the West Factory will indeed do more harm than good, so it would be better to abolish it."

"Xichang can arrest ministers of the DPRK and China at will without reporting to the emperor, which invisibly causes a large number of unjust cases. Members of Xichang can also use the power of the factory to frame dissidents and harm loyal people."

"The scope of investigation limited by Xichang is not just Beijing, but all over the country. Anyone will be the target of Xichang's surveillance and harm."

"As "Ming Tongjian" said: "The arrogance was so intense that when Xichang arrested court officials, he did not immediately report to them. "

Xiao Ran also gave Zhu Yuanzhang a brief introduction to science. Zhu Yuanzhang knew Jinyiwei but was not very familiar with East Factory and West Factory.

Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei were secret service agencies set up in the Ming Dynasty outside the three judicial organs of the Ministry of Justice, the Imperial Procuratorate, and Dali Temple to directly obey the emperor's orders and be in charge of "imperial edicts".

The leader of the Jin Yiwei is called a commander, and is usually held by the emperor's trusted generals, but rarely by eunuchs.

Belongs to foreign ministers.

The leaders of Dongchang and Xichang were eunuchs, that is, internal ministers.

The Jin Yiwei monitors all officials, the East Factory monitors officials, civilians and Jin Yiwei, and the Inner Factory monitors officials, civilians and factory guards. The emperor directly leads and supervises all reconnaissance agencies, forming a complete system of reconnaissance agencies.

Factory guards could directly receive orders to accept petitions and arrest officials and people without going through the judicial organs. The torture was extremely cruel, which put everyone in the government and the public at risk.

In terms of the relationship with Jinyiwei, Dongchang came from behind.

Since the owner of Dongchang had a close relationship with the emperor and was located in the palace, it was easier for him to gain the emperor's trust.

Jinyiwei's report to the emperor must be written in a written form, and Dongchang can do so directly orally; the emperor also gave the governor of Dongchang the power to supervise the Jinyiwei personnel.

The relationship between Dongchang and Jinyiwei gradually changed from equal to superior-subordinate relationship.

In the era when eunuchs were in power, the commander of the Imperial Guard even knelt down and kowtowed when meeting the owner of the East Factory. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "If you put it this way, we will understand."

The East Factory set up by Zhu Di and the West Factory set up by Zhu Jianshen are even better than Jin Yiwei.

Later emperors needed factory guards to deal with the civil service group, and the imperial guards were no longer enough.

In short, due to the internal needs of the autocratic regime, the emperor needed a force independent of the bureaucracy for his own use. Dongchang, Xichang and Jinyiwei were all such institutions.

"Taizu, what do you mean?" Zhu Jianshen asked cautiously.

"Abolish it! People with ulterior motives will use the West Factory as a tool to eliminate dissidents." Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Jin Yiwei and the East Factory were enough.

There is no need to come to another West Factory.

These three institutions are similar. Zhu Jianshen established the West Factory because he felt that Jinyiwei and the East Factory had been infiltrated. He did not believe in Jinyiwei and the East Factory, so he established the West Factory.

Now Zhu Jianshen almost doesn't need it.

"Yes, Taizu, I remember it!" Zhu Jianshen said.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, all civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to abolish the West Factory.

"You're the leader, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shang Ren.

"Return to Taizu, I am a minister!"

"We are a little interested in you." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Ran, "Tell us about him!"

"Taizu, this is Shang Guan, a cabinet scholar." Zhu Jianshen introduced him, otherwise Xiao Ran wouldn't know his name.

Xiao Ran took out the Ming Dynasty records and looked through them:
"In the first year of Jingtai, Shang Ren took Yingzong Zhu Qizhen back to Beijing as a representative of the imperial court. Throughout the Jingtai dynasty, Shang Ren continued to serve in the cabinet."

"In the seventh year of Jingtai, he was promoted to Minister of Taichang Temple and tried his best to assist Jing Emperor Zhu Qiyu in handling military and political affairs."

"After the incident of seizing the door, Shang Ren was falsely accused of being dismissed from his post and imprisoned. Because Zhu Qizhen had a good impression of him, the punishment was lighter and he returned to his hometown in Chun'an safely."

"In the third year of Chenghua, he entered the cabinet as Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of War and a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy. Later, he successively served as Minister of the Ministry of War, Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, and Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

"The next year, he entered the Jinshen Palace as a bachelor. Because the eunuch Wang Zhixichang was unwilling to join in the evil, he resigned again and returned to his fields."

When he heard that Shang Ren assisted Zhu Qiyu and was imprisoned by Zhu Qizhen, Zhu Yuanzhang felt more favorable for some reason.

"Not bad! Not bad!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded.

Xiao Ran continued: "Throughout the three dynasties of Yingzong, Daizong and Xianzong, he was a famous minister from the official to the cabinet. He was known as the 'Prime Minister of the Three Dynasties' among the people."

"He was upright, generous and tolerant, and decisive in dealing with matters. At that time, people called him 'the wisest minister in my court, and the best businessman in the world'."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in approval.

Shang Ren was also very nervous.

He was afraid that he would do something to anger Zhu Yuanzhang later.

Zhu Yuanzhang is always in trouble with the nine tribes.

Shang Ren was also very worried.

"He opposed moving south, advocated resistance to Oara, stood firmly on Yu Qian's side, effectively cooperated with Yu Qian in commanding the battle in preparations, and played an important role in defending the capital."

"I am the humerus minister of the Ming Dynasty!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

This person is the same as Yu Qian, but his credit is not as good as Yu Qian's, and he is not as famous as Yu Qian.

But it is undeniable that he was also one of the heroes in the defense of the capital.

"As an important member of the cabinet, he exerted a positive influence on the political situation at that time."

"Shang Ren was also a gifted scholar who was rich in economics and essays. He theoretically longed for the 'rule of three generations' and proposed a series of improvement measures to address the shortcomings in politics, economy, military, and national defense at that time."

Xiao Ran closed the Ming Dynasty Record and said, "That's it!"

"Loyal and good minister, Jianshen! Remember to reward!" Zhu Yuanzhang reminded Zhu Jianshen.

This business is really good.

"It's Taizu, I remember it!"

Shang Ren quickly knelt down and said, "Thank you Taizu, thank you so much, Your Majesty!"

Shang Ren was so moved that he gave everyone a feeling in an instant: This Emperor Hongwu is not bad!
"Xiao Ran! Are there any treacherous ministers, corrupt officials, etc.?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Some people who are inexperienced and don't know, let's clean them up."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the civil and military officials were frightened, and few of them were truly clean.

During Zhu Yuanzhang's Hongwu dynasty, anyone who embezzled fifty taels of silver would be skinned and turned into grass.

"Taizu!" Xiao Ran also had to give Zhu Yuanzhang face in public.

"Chenghua's politics were relatively clear during the period. There were not many corrupt officials who were serious and evil, and it cannot be said that there were not many. In fact, petty corruption occurred all the time. There was no way to avoid it, so it was considered harmless."

The main reason was that Xiao Ran didn't know that the history books recorded major events, and there were no records of minor corruption or embezzlement.

"In this way, Jianshen is good, and there is no problem in knowing people." Zhu Yuanzhang affirmed Zhu Jianshen's ability.

Zhu Jianshen was very happy to receive Zhu Yuanzhang's affirmation.

"Taizu, the eunuch Wang Zhi harmed Zhongliang, Taizu, please look into it!" An official stood up and said.

Zhu Yuanzhang had heard this name many times, Wang Zhi, Admiral of the West Factory.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know Wang Zhi very well.

Subconsciously he looked at Xiao Ran and asked Xiao Ran for his opinion.

Xiao Ran shook his head slightly and gave Zhu Yuanzhang a look.

Zhu Yuanzhang probably understood what Xiao Ran meant, and then said: "We will investigate this matter!"

"Is there anything else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

All the civil and military officials looked at each other in shock and said nothing more.

Although they knew about some illegal things done by their peers, they did not report each other.

For fear of irritating Zhu Yuanzhang, the nine tribes came to have fun.

That wouldn't be fun.

"The others have no problem, but there is one person I have to talk about." Xiao Ran took the initiative to speak.

"Who?"

"Liu Wentai, now he should still be the General Secretary Ren Youtong."

Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment, "What kind of official position is this?"

Zhu Jianshen said quickly: "Taizu, this is a casual position, mainly responsible for handling complaints from the people."

"Can such a person also cause a big storm?" Zhu Yuanzhang was a little disbelieving.

"This position is a sinecure, but Liu Wentai is ambitious and a thoughtful person. He feels that this position has no future. If he wants to have a future, he must show his face in front of the emperor to have a chance to perform."

"I don't know exactly how this person operated. A few months later, Liu Wentai went from a casual job to a fourth-level hospital envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital."

Zhu Yuanzhang was a little annoyed when he heard this. He must have paid off the people above and accepted bribes.

"You bastard! Is it possible that an unlearned person can enter the Imperial Hospital?"

This is the person who treats the emperor and his relatives. People without medical skills will make mistakes.

"Did he execute someone important?" Zhu Yuanzhang also guessed.

"Yes, this person is Emperor Zhu Jianshen!" Xiao Ran looked at Zhu Jianshen.

Zhu Jianshen was also shocked, "Me?"

"Bring this person here!" Zhu Yuanzhang was not calm when he heard that Zhu Jianshen died in Liu Wentai's hands.

"Go quickly!" Zhu Jianshen looked at Jin Yiwei.
