It’s a bit uncomfortable, but it’s still the third update. You have to do it when you say it.

Yuan Tai, the Censor of the Inspectorate, reported that the uncle of the Duke of Xinguo, Tang He, had hidden 4,326 acres of land in Changzhou, and had privately kept more than 1,200 tenants.

The great general Lan Yu was a tyrannical and arrogant person, and he had thousands of slaves in the village. He once occupied the fields of Dongchang and fished and hunted in the mountains and forests at will.

Wuding Marquis Guo Ying raised 150 family slaves and killed five men and women in the farm at home.

Duke Cao Li Jinglong occupied more than 200 hectares of ponds in the fields and villages.

Feng Sheng, Duke of Song, ordered his family to transport 10,000 jin of private salt from Yunnan to sell, disrupting the national salt law...

The memorial was very long, and there were dozens of people involved, all of whom were the founding heroes of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunyu became more and more shocked the more he read it. The crimes of these princes and marquis were clearly marked by the censors of the inspectors.

Escaping land, buying and selling people and slaves, instigating family slaves to cause trouble, reselling private salt, and deforesting forests. Any one of them is deeply hated by Zhu Yuanzhang. Because any one of them involves the interests of the people.

Moreover, among these people, led by Lan Yu, Marquis of Jingchuan, Marquis of Dingyuan, Marquis of Dongguan, Marquis of Ji'an and others were all old subordinates before the crown prince.

Fortunately, there is no uncle's house! Zhu Yunxiu looked at it twice and did not see the Chang family. He was a little relieved. Fortunately, he didn't cause any innocent lives!

The greed of these high-ranking officials and nobles from ancient times has been a chronic disease of every dynasty, and even a common problem over thousands of years or even thousands of years later. Power can make people confused and money can even blind people's eyes.

This is also one of the reasons why the Central Plains regime relied on civil officials to suppress military officials after they took over the world. Civil officials are far easier to manage than military officials.

The sword-wielding warriors are simple-minded, and few people know how to protect themselves. Not many people know how to advance and retreat. They all think that they are following the emperor to conquer the world. If they have no credit and work hard, it doesn’t matter if they are greedy.

But what the old man hates the most is greed and violence.

The old man is going to kill someone! Zhu Yunxiu said silently in his heart.

Back then, before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he told Xu Da and Chang Yuchun.

You stood up from me and made such a great success, which was not caused by day and night.

The servants who live in families like Wener and others are arrogant and arrogant, and surpass etiquette. A villain is not jealous and does not punish him early. If there are troubles in another day, it is better not to be burdened by him, so it is better to leave him quickly.

The general idea is that you follow me and go through so many difficulties to achieve today's career. How difficult is it.

Your family and slaves rely on their power and do not know how to abide by the law, which will sooner or later cause trouble to you.

If I punish you, there will be a rift between us brothers. Therefore, you must restrain them and not act rampantly.

Now, all these things Zhu Yuanzhang once said have come true.

As the emperor of the Ming Empire, the old man worked diligently and did not dare to do anything rashly, did not dare to drink too much, did not dare to watch singing and dancing, and did not dare to wear gorgeous clothes, just to set a good example for the world.

However, those subordinates who followed him were secretly destroying his platform, and the people were rampant.

The whole history says that Zhu Yuanzhang killed the meritorious officials, but he doesn’t say why these people died?

A question suddenly appeared in Zhu Yunxi's mind, what if he was an old man?

The illegality and greed of the powerful and powerful cannot be eradicated yet. Even without military generals, the corruption and rampant behavior of civil servants will still emerge one after another after entering the prosperous era in the future, and it will become more and more intense.

Take the post-Ming Dynasty as an example. Which cabinet chief minister in history is not a rich man in the world?

During the Jiajing period, the Yan family fell and found that the property of the house was 30,000 taels of gold and more than two million silver, not counting real estate such as the land and manors. This is the number reported to the emperor after the search.

The person who presided over the search of the Yan family was the most famous Lian Chen, the cabinet master Xu Jie during the Jiajing period. This man, known as Lian Chen, had more than 400,000 mu of land in his family, and he collected 19,000 stones of rent every year.

Where did these fields come from? It has also occupied the land of the people. In addition to these, there are many weaving businesses in his family, and there are thousands of weaver girls working for him.

The more Zhu Yuanzhang hated corrupt officials in the early days of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the more greedy those officials in the later period! This kind of chronic disease, not to mention the present, but the future...

Moral character and moral integrity have never been very reliable.

Thinking in his mind, Zhu Yunyu picked up all the memorials on the ground and placed them neatly.

Behind him, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice suddenly came. Have you finished reading it?

Zhu Yunxiu turned around, grandpa, look!

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne with some fatigue and asked, "What should I do?" As he said, look at Zhu Yunxiu, to be honest, don't think about being like you, mixed with me!"

My grandson thought, if it was true...

The inspector's censor dared to impeach these military generals indiscriminately! Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted, and Hu Weiyong didn't dare to offend them back then!

There are two ways: one is to handle it impartially, and the other is to beat the emperor and make them look eye-catching! Zhu Yunxiu said without hesitation.

If they knew how to reflect on themselves, they would not have caused so many troubles! Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth.

Zhu Yunxiu saw that the old man was hesitating inside.

The old man's method of dealing with problems has always been simple and crude. Those who disobeyed and felt threatening, and they just killed them. However, in recent years, Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang, two major cases involving tens of thousands of people, were already full of people.

In order to balance and stability, will it cause political instability if the killing is launched at this time? Moreover, in Yuan Tai's memorial, several named ones, including Lan Yu, have just made military achievements and have not returned to the court yet.

Moreover, this was a feudal era after all, an era of distinct classes and emphasis on hierarchy. These people were ministers who had made contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and even Zhu Yuanzhang could not kill him casually.

Unless these people really don’t know how to advance and retreat, and they pose a threat to their country.

Dasun, what would you do if it were you, if you wanted to hit them? Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

Zhu Yunxiu pondered that these people were deeply intimate with each other. If they were grandsons, grandson would find one of them and show him the memorial. He told him that if he wanted to save his life, he would give his grandson a step, an inspection office, and an explanation to the people.

They vomited what they ate and gave it out, and they shouldn't be theirs, so they handed it over. My grandson thought that it had never happened. These martial artists were all meritorious officials. Telling to one person was equivalent to telling everyone that their grandson would not be so ignorant.

In fact, Zhu Yunxiu had another idea in his mind. If he really did handle it himself, everything else would be easy to say, but as long as it involved in infringing on the land of the people and causing deaths, it would be directly handed over to the Ministry of Justice, Dali Temple, and the Inspectorate for trial.

What should I do? There is no mercy to tell you. Or I will take away my title, take back my fiefdom and land, or I will be dismissed from my official position and demoted to a civilian.

The relatives of the rich slaves who caused trouble at home will be held accountable according to the law, whether to exile or behead them, all rely on the three officials to interrogate them.

As an emperor, we must ensure the fairness of the majority.

Well! Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and nodded. Dasun, you can do this!

Ah? Zhu Yun looked up in surprise, Grandpa Huang, do you ask your grandson to do it?
Chapter completed!
