First Prince of Ming Dynasty

Now we have to see if this future Xiangguo is responsible enough. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials has deeper eyes. He is the head of the six ministries, and he is a heavenly official of the imperial court.

At his level, even if he is in front of the prime minister, he will not bow his knees. In the final analysis, it is just a political alliance. If either Hu Weiyong or Wang Guangyang falls, he has a chance to make up for it.

The current situation is that most of the six officials who can stand in the court know that there is something wrong with Li Shaotian, but they don't know whether the censor surnamed Zhao is chasing rumors or really got the evidence.

Hu Weiyong glanced back slightly at Li Shaotian on the ground, then turned his head and bowed and said, "This minister's thinking is the same as Prime Minister Zuo's, and we should thoroughly investigate this matter."

As soon as this remark came out, Li Shaotian on the ground shook violently, as if his body was out of control. He knew that if Hu Weiyong hadn't covered it up, then the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple would not give him face, and they would definitely find out about him. The question is, according to today's temperament, it will be a good thing to be beheaded.

The cold sweat on the face of Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry became more and more. How dare Li Shaotian not give him a big head for his embezzlement. Now that this kid has no way to live, he won't bite back.

However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not in a hurry to make an order, and his eyes swept aimlessly. The group of powerful officials outside in red clothes and purple ribbons were all a little panicked, and they seemed to have sensed the signs of the storm.

Zhu Biao also watched all this with great interest. How many of these people will still be standing here in a few years? It's interesting to think about it this way. This feeling of overriding everything is really fascinating. Zhu Biao saw them panic, but he himself suddenly felt relieved.

Their father and son are the operators of this big chess game, and at the same time, they are also the makers of the rules, and they must be the final winners!

Zhu Yuanzhang finally set his sights on Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry: "If a clean and capable official has made a mistake, we can forgive him, and a corrupt person will be severely punished no matter how small the crime is. What does the Shangshu think?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry knelt down and put his head on the ground and said: "My sage is wise, I bow to you!"

At this time, everyone can see that this is where the censor Zhongcheng surnamed Zhao exposed the impeachment. It is clear that the Holy One is going to use the Ministry of Industry to purge the officials again. It seems that their cold and summer season is coming again, but I don’t know how long this time will be. to get through.

At this time, Li Shaotian, the left servant of the Ministry of Industry, whose knees were numb, suddenly laughed a few times, but he didn't scare anyone. They all knew that this person and his family would inevitably go to hell together. It is understandable that he is crazy at this time of.

The rest dared not speak. Zhu Biao scolded coldly: "Speak up if you have something to say. What's the use of pretending to be crazy now? Why bother if I knew today!"

Li Shaotian took a few breaths, then shook his head and said: "I, Li Shaotian, studied poetry and books hard since I was a child, and I was born as a Jinshi in the Yuan Dynasty. I have come to today step by step. Haven't I suffered enough when I was a child? Still suffer from poverty and cold?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The low salary of the imperial court is due to the national conditions. What's more, we remembered that the crown prince explained to you that since the beginning of this year, the reduction of palace expenses has increased your salary. It is greedy and shameless to be so ungrateful!"

Li Shaotian let out a snort: "If you don't want to be an official, please don't come if you don't want to make a fortune. Who would want to work for Daming after His Majesty abused his ministers and workers so harshly? If you continue to blame others in this way and treat yourself honestly, I'm afraid Daming will return to Qin again." Your Majesty should pass on the calamity of the Sui Dynasty to the crown prince as soon as possible."

As soon as this remark came out in the court, it seemed like a pot would explode, no matter who it was, it seemed as if Li Shaotian was about to be torn apart. The nobles who were still watching the fun suddenly became murderous, this is going to smash our jobs. !

With red eyes, Li Wenzhong led a group of marquises to kick away a group of officials from the six ministries and lifted Li Shaotian up from the ground. After several punches, there was a muffled sound coming from Li Shaotian's body, and blood spurted out of his mouth as if he didn't want money. The side kept scolding.

In the entire hall, only the father and son of the Zhu family above the imperial steps were still calm, but the harsh words could not hurt them. Hu Weiyong, who was watching them from the corner of his eye, suddenly felt a lot heavier in his heart.

Zhu Biao looked at it and said in a deep voice: "Stop all your hands, how can you be presumptuous before the emperor!"

Hearing the words of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, everyone has their backs. Li Shaotian knows that he will die, but dares to curse the fate of the country, and wants to plant a nail between the Emperor and the Crown Prince. Naturally, they have to express extreme anger, otherwise there will be endless troubles.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't take it seriously, he had never seen such a scene in his life, a few curses at someone who was about to die was nothing, but since this person was to be used as the first knife to eliminate officials, he had to be severely chopped off.

Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the dragon chair and said: "Li Shaotian, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Wu Xuan, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, have embezzled and accepted bribes and resold the court materials. This crime is beyond punishment. His whole family is sentenced to be executed. Li Shaotian and Wu Xuanbo should be severely punished. Three days later, Ling Chi will be executed. !"

Li Shaotian was speechless, but limp on the ground, his tears ran down the blood on his face, while Wu Xuanbo, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, struggled and shouted: "The crime of corrupting the law is unforgivable, how should the Holy Majesty deal with this minister?" , I have admitted it, but the family is innocent, and I ask the Holy One to spare their lives, please forgive me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently without any fluctuations in his expression: "When you were corrupt and broke the law, your wife, children and children shared the blessings with you. Has anyone come out to persuade you to report you?"

Wu Xuanbo just kept begging for mercy, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and immediately dragged them out like dead dogs, especially Li Shaotian, who left a lot of blood on Fengtian Hall.

Li Wenzhong led a group of nobles and knelt down: "I ask the Holy One to punish you for your dishonesty."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "As we said, we can forgive some mistakes even if the officials are honest and capable, but we must improve our memory in the future and not commit them again."

Li Wenzhong kowtowed to promise, and then led the people back to the side. The nobles behind him seemed to have won the battle, and they were all full of ambitions.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the rest of the officials: "We come from civilians, and we really know that the people are in hardship. Let go of a corrupt official, I hope you will cherish and love yourself, and don't wake up until death is imminent!"

All the officials knelt down and said: "I will listen to the hadith respectfully and never dare to embezzle and accept bribes!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned cold again: "You are all scholars, and you should understand the truth better than us commoners. Even we have heard that if the people can't live up to their lives, the country will perish, so what's the point of the country's death because of you?" Benefits? I hope you will improve if you have something in the future, and encourage you if you don’t, so don’t let me down again.”
