, the first minister of Ming Dynasty

How many corrupt officials are there?

Ru Taisu thought about it for a long time, and finally slowly extended a thumb.

Zhu Di was taken aback, "Just one? You lied to me?"

Ru Taisu smiled helplessly, "His Royal Highness King Yan, this minister can only guarantee that he will not be greedy or occupy himself, and that he is innocent. As for other people, this minister does not know!"

"what!"

Zhu Di is completely stupid, what do you mean?

Are there corrupt officials everywhere in Peiping?

That's too scary, right?

This is the Ming Dynasty!

The Ming Dynasty, less than ten years after the founding of the country!

"Ru Tai vegetarian, you didn't lie?"

Ru Taisu said sternly: "I was lucky enough to survive because of the Prince's life-saving grace. At these times, I have been investigating secretly. If I have a false statement, I will naturally be struck by a thunderbolt!"

Zhu Di looked at the bearded scholar and had to believe his words.

"I asked you to investigate, can you find out all the corrupt officials?"

Ru Taisu gritted his teeth, "Of course it can, but I'm afraid King Yan won't be able to carry it!"

When Zhu Di heard it, it was a joke!

"I am King Yan of Daming, and I stay in Peiping. I am acting under the banner of the king's order. Whoever dares to stop me will be executed!"

Ru Taisu was stunned for a while, and bowed deeply, "Since King Yan has this confidence, it's just that the lower officials will die, so what else is there to be afraid of!"

Ru Taisu suddenly turned around and said to the soldiers, "Go, follow me to arrest the corrupt officials!"

Five hundred soldiers, following Ru Taisu, went straight to Beiping City... Since Zhu Di went north, countless pairs of eyes have been watching. When this kid started to overturn the river, the immortals behind him could not remain indifferent.

"His Royal Highness, this Ru Tai vegetarian, you arranged it?" Zhang Ximeng said with a smile.

Zhu Biao nodded, "Sir, although Ru Taisu is a little pedantic and shows off his words, he is still upright, hates evil and hates evil. People. Some people complained in front of me, and I suppressed them all."

Zhang Ximeng nodded, "His Royal Highness is right. Ru Taisu is indeed a powerful weapon. Taking it out at a critical moment can really clarify Yu Nei and convince Xiao Xiao. This move is a brilliant move!"

Zhu Biao was a little comforted, but then he said with concern: "Sir, I really can't figure out why those officials who received the emperor's favor don't want to repay, but they are still greedy and pervert the law, do they really think that the king's law in Daming is a child's play? I see the news sent by Peiping now, I am afraid that not only the chief envoy, but also the other two directors are also involved. Especially Qian Yongren and others, they have been punished by the father and emperor, so they cannot be taken as a warning. Keeping yourself clean, but getting involved, what are these people thinking?"

Zhang Ximeng sighed, also a little helpless. If we can learn lessons, things in the world will not be so troublesome.

"His Royal Highness, what kind of background are the officials in Peiping these years? I think Your Highness knows something?"

Zhu Biao nodded, his heart awe-inspiring. When the Ming army regained Dadu, many Yuan court officials were captured. In order to maintain order, many Yuan court officials were retained, and these people accounted for about one-third.

Afterwards, many officials were dispatched to Peiping to enrich the area. This group of people forced them to come. It goes without saying how many corrupt officials there are.

These people got together and hoped that they would be able to reform themselves, and from then on, they would be single-minded and focus on state affairs.

It's really hard for the strong.

And there is another trouble here. Peiping is closely connected to the grasslands. The front line of the Great Wall is not blocked at all. There are only some beacon towers. The usual personnel exchanges are not difficult.

There was another question, but Zhang Ximeng was unwilling to say more.

After almost 500 years of estrangement, the people in Beiping and the remnants of Beiyuan are probably still more than the Ming Dynasty. At least those who are left of Mongolia, Jurchen, and Khitan are thinking of the old master, thinking of being a good man and a blessing. Days, there is nothing to understand.

To expect that a few years of Daming's rule will be able to make up for the separation of hundreds of years is indeed an overestimation of Daming's ability.

"At present, the officials in Peiping are still three-thirds of the world, one is the old officials of the Yuan court, one is distributed by the father and the emperor, and the other is recruited locally after passing the assessment recently. These people have no problems. Xiao, an old official of the Yuan court, his bad habits have not changed, he is still greedy and perverts the law, and he acts recklessly. Those who have been dispatched to the past are resentful, feel that they have left Yingtian and have suffered a loss, so they rack their brains to make up for the losses due to greed and perversion. As for the local recruits , Those who can read and write, and most of them were those who benefited from the Yuan court, and they were also at odds with the court. When the disciples were in Peiping, they invited famous Confucians to give lectures several times, and sacrificed to Yan Huang and eliminated Hu Feng, but now It seems that the effect is very small, and it does not restore people's hearts, and the disciple is really ashamed."

Zhu Biao's voice was low and his emotions were lost. It can be said that he could not completely solve the problems in Peiping, leaving a lot of troubles later, which he regretted.

But Zhang Ximeng doesn't see it that way. Some things really need the right time and the right people to solve it just right. Zhu Biao has done his best and cannot be demanding.

"His Royal Highness is the prince. If you rashly deal with any party, it will cause local turmoil, and some people will even suspect the national policy of the imperial court, spread rumors, and shake people's hearts. The matter in Peiping is still dominated by the use of troops, and the remnants of Beiyuan soldiers must be resolved first. Only by eliminating external threats can we rectify internally, otherwise the internal and external collusion will lead to endless troubles!"

Zhu Biao cheered up and said hurriedly: "Sir, I really thought about it, so I deployed troops to Liaodong first. I thought that I would defeat the remnants of Beiyuan first, recover Liaodong, and remove the external threat, and then I could concentrate on internal affairs. At this time, the fourth brother will go over, and with his character, he will definitely be able to turn the world upside down, and many problems will be exposed, so taking the opportunity to rectify it is logical.

Zhu Biao finally expressed his idea. In fact, this plan is very Zhang Ximeng's style.

After the restoration of Dadu, the most important thing was the military.

We must concentrate our efforts to solve the threat of the remnants of the Yuan army.

Recover Shanxi, attack Shangdu, and finally capture Liaodong... In this way, a clear isolation belt can be established to completely separate Peiping from the remnants of the Yuan court.

After dealing with the outside, you can focus on the inside.

But in general, Zhu Biao did not expect two.

First, he did not expect that Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong would be so quick, and in just over a month, they wiped out Yuan Ting's influence in Liaodong. There was no procrastination and no time for internal and external collusion.

Second, he did not expect that Zhu Di had not long since arrived in Peiping, and he first won a "great victory", and then immediately set off a large prison and began to arrest Peiping officials.

This thing has become very interesting. If there is no military blessing, Zhu Di is just a bear child. It is difficult to say how much movement there is. Zhu Biao feels that he can take it freely.

But Zhu Di was assigned a military merit, and then he dealt with corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it would not be a foolish child, but a far-sighted and clever method.

Although even Zhu Di may not know exactly what he planned and thought about, it is guaranteed that someone will make it up for him.

However, in Zhang Ximeng's view, these problems are not big, and it can even be said that these accidents are good things.

The question now is how much trouble did these people in Peiping cause?

To what extent will this case be implicated, and how to clean up the mess...

Zhang Ximeng was thinking about these things, and Zhu Biao was also thinking about it. He ran to Zhu Yuanzhang every day, always concerned about the news sent by Peiping.

But what surprised Zhu Biao first was not the news from Peiping, but from Liaoyang.

The person who delivered the letter was Li Wenzhong. According to his inventory and seizure, he found that a batch of Ming's grain had flowed into the hands of the Yuan army, and the amount was more than 100,000 shi.

Stealing and selling rations!

Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was already burning with anger and righteous indignation. Looking at the news from Peiping, there was a huge shortage of food. As long as he was not a fool, he would know what happened.

"Okay, that's really good! How dare you make money for your enemies! This is no longer an ordinary corrupt official!"

Lao Zhu was furious, and immediately shouted, "Call Mao Xiang over!"

After a while, Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, came in a hurry, and Zhu Yuanzhang said directly: "You leave immediately, go to Peiping, take over this case, and **** those corrupt officials to the heavens, we will personally judge!"

Mao Xiang immediately took the lead, and the embroidered spring knife was unsheathed again.

In the days that followed, more and more news came, and gradually, the entire Ming court was frightened by what happened in Peiping.

What is unscrupulous and what is bold, compared with them, Lu Zhongheng, Tang Shengzong and others are simply good babies.

Zhu Wenzheng and Li Wenzhong sent ten boxes of correspondence.

After the unfolding, there were actually many letters from Beiping tyrants, even merchants in Datong, and the Yuan army in Liaodong. They informed the Yuan army of Daming's strength, the arrangement of generals, and the provisions and weapons.

Some people even begged, hoping that Master Wang could mobilize the army, counterattack Peiping as soon as possible, save the people, and drive away the red thieves... Obviously, in their eyes, the Ming Dynasty is still not as orthodox as the Yuan court.

It's just tyrannical. There are also some officials here, looking particularly ironic.

What is especially stunned is that this group of people actually prepared a plan, that is, to raid the Gongde Camp, rescue the Iron Pot Emperor, send it to Helin, re-enthrone as emperor, and order the Mongolian ministries to restore Beiping.

Seeing this, everyone was stunned, and the imagination is really rich!

You also look down on the ability of the Ming Dynasty too much.

According to their plan, only two hundred righteous people were needed to successfully help the Yuan Dynasty.

The news spread to the merit camp, iron pot, and his son, Prime Minister Qingtong and others, what they felt was not joy, but a shattering, unprovoked disaster!

"Wrongful, UU reading www.uukanshu.com is really wronged! How can I have the heart to rebel against the Great Ming! It's all those people who daydream themselves, and implicate the innocent!"

Mao Xiang snorted coldly: "Innocent is not innocent, it's not you who has the final say! The matter has come to this point, only to **** all of them to Yingtian! By the way, Timur will also be the first, you can't blame yourself, take it away together and hand it over to Yingtian! Your Majesty is down!"

First Timur was shocked, I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!

Who wants to save the iron pot, it's not my turn?

But it's a pity that Mao Xiang didn't listen to his explanation and directly counted him, and sent him to Yingtian together...
