Chapter 473 A big earthquake in the officialdom

Facing Zhu Houzhao's question, the ministers trembled inwardly, but they did not dare to respond: "I heard you clearly!"

The ministers who usually spoke very energetically now felt weak.

"You haven't eaten yet? Please speak louder, I can't hear you."

Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows and shouted again.

"I heard you clearly."

The sound was like thunder, shaking the sky, and the officials were now extremely frightened.

From the elders of the cabinet to the ordinary officials, their minds were shaking violently, fearing that the emperor's anger would burn onto them.

No one wants to be sent to mine!

The anger on his face softened slightly, Zhu Houzhao's eyes were as sharp as a blade, and his murderous intention could no longer be suppressed:

"Now that you have heard everything clearly, can you tell me what is the difference between taking away the pensions of soldiers who died in battle and depriving them of their families?"

Subconsciously, they were all secretly thinking about whether there was anything unclean about themselves. If so, they should quickly take the time to wipe their butts clean. No one wanted to experience the emperor's cruel methods.

"Such an unconscionable person must be severely punished."

Zhu Houzhao sneered, and the imperial dragon's energy exploded with majestic momentum, intimidating the ministers:

After he has eliminated the interest-oriented civil service group, he will never allow another civil service group to rise. Now his officials have some signs of becoming a civil service group. Such unhealthy tendencies must be nipped in the bud.

"Those who are caught committing crimes will be assigned to Dark Feather Star or Flame Star. They will not be allowed to return for life and will not be pardoned."

They still have a bright future, and they don't want to be suppressed to death by the emperor, let alone being assigned to mine.

"I don't care whether you dare or not, I just want to tell you one thing. In this dynasty, I am the god. Before you try to arm-wrestle with me, think about how many heads you have."

"I will let Jin Yiwei investigate this matter. If one is found, one will be arrested. If two are found, one will be arrested. As long as anyone dares to reach out, he will not be lenient."

Literary people should be polite and don't say harsh words.

The military generals were naturally satisfied, after all, all they wanted was justice.

"How should we be severely punished?"

"They embezzled the pensions of the soldiers who died in the war, and used the wealth they gained from selling the ore they excavated to compensate the families of the soldiers who died in the war."

Benefits move people's hearts, and people's greed is endless. Once greed arises, there is nothing that one dares not do.

It would be too easy for those people to die after committing a crime, and it would be in line with Zhu Houzhao's consistent behavior to make life worse than death.

He spoke directly, and by mastering absolute power, he had an absolute advantage. Unless time was reversed, the ministers would have no choice but to be at his mercy.

He knew that the problem of taking away the pensions of soldiers killed in battle was definitely not only a problem in the Ministry of Finance, but also someone from other ministries and agencies must be involved.

The ministers bowed their heads and were silent and ashamed!

"Let's talk about it, how should this matter be handled?"

"To take away the pensions of soldiers who died in battle is tantamount to digging into the foundation of our dynasty. In terms of human ethics and morality, it is unconscionable and cannot be tolerated by nature; in terms of court laws, it seriously violates the Ming Dynasty Law and is punishable by death.

"

The ministers' bodies trembled subconsciously, and the Jin Yiwei stepped in, and the meaning of the matter was different.

In this extraordinary world, boxing is power!

The bigger the fist, the greater the power!

"I think the proposal of Lord Chief Assistant is very reasonable."

"I believe that this matter should be handled with lightning force. Regardless of whether the perpetrators are principal or accomplices, once they are caught, they will all be assigned to the Dark Feather Star for mining."

As ministers of the imperial court, the ministers are not short of resources, and their cultivation has generally reached the realm of divine transformation. However, in front of Zhu Houzhao, their abilities are not the same. Zhu Houzhao can easily crush them to death at any time.

"Or do you want to imitate the former civil servant clique, clinging together to keep warm, flattering the superiors and bullying the subordinates?"

With a deep sigh in his heart, Yang Yiqing understood that he could not escape today no matter what. The emperor needed an explanation, and the military also needed an explanation. Under pressure from both sides, he had no choice but to express his position.

There is going to be a big earthquake in the officialdom.

Zhu Houzhao asked.

Zhu Houzhao sat back on the dragon chair and said with murderous intent: "To take away the pensions of soldiers who died in battle, such a conscientious person, even dying ten thousand times is not enough."

"Do you have any objections to the handling method proposed by Chief Yang?"

Zhu Houzhao said in an indifferent tone, asking the officials to give him a satisfactory explanation, otherwise he would not mind another blood exchange.

"Your Majesty, I believe that this matter should be handled strictly, and all those involved should be severely punished. We must not chill the hearts of the soldiers."

All the ministers wanted to swear on the spot and tear out their hearts and show them to Zhu Houzhao.

"The soldiers died fighting for the country, but after their death, their wives, children, and children were not even given any protection. How can I, and you Gonggun princes, have the face to face millions of soldiers who fought for the country and died without regrets?

?”

"Do you think that because I have neglected the management of government affairs, you can act unscrupulously and do whatever you want?"

"well"

"Don't you dare?"

In order to satisfy both the emperor and the military, Yang Yiqing worked hard, and the ruthlessness of the solution he proposed coincided with Zhu Houzhao's thoughts.

"I don't dare!"

This time, we don’t know how many officials will suffer.

However, everyone talked about severe punishment, but did not mention the method of punishment.

Upon hearing that the emperor compared them to the former civil servant group, the ministers turned pale with fright. How could they dare to imitate the civil servant group?

In the Taiwu Dynasty, who didn't know that what the emperor hated most was the civil service group, and learning to work from the civil service group was not much different from seeking death.

The ministers trembled under Zhu Houzhao's pressure. Only then did they deeply understand why the emperor was obsessed with spiritual practice.

Zhu Houzhao looked closely at Yang Yiqing, asking the chief minister of the cabinet to set an example.

He is satisfied with Yang Yiqing's handling of the matter, but it depends on whether the military department is satisfied with it.

"The behavior of embezzling the pensions of soldiers who died in battle is no different from that of animals. If they are not severely punished, what will be the face of the imperial court."

Wang Hao, Fei Hong, Mao Ji, Liang Chu, Wang Qiong, Hong Zhong and other ministers spoke out one after another.

Since embarking on the path of spiritual practice, Zhu Houzhao has spent a lot of time in seclusion, which has led them to become more indulgent in their behavior. However, they really have no courage to imitate the civil servant group and intend to override the imperial power.

Chief Assistant Yang Yiqing was the first to speak.

Sitting on the dragon chair, with a panoramic view of the reactions of the ministers, Zhu Houzhao said coldly:

"First, Shi Xingfeng's evil words deceived the public, and then officials from the Ministry of Revenue embezzled soldiers' pensions. I have been negligent in managing government affairs in recent years, which actually led to some monsters and monsters starting to show up."

They are all smart people, and they judge the current situation very accurately. Now times have changed, and force is supreme. Even if they dare to imitate the civil servant group, the emperor can suppress them with a snap of his finger.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the ministers who were in a messy manner and were so frightened that they were sweating. He knew that the shock effect had been achieved and that it would be too much to do too much, so he dispersed the imperial dragon energy surrounding him and put away his majestic power.

"Retreat from the court."

With a cold snort, he announced his resignation and walked away.

Zhu Qiyuan followed closely behind, and they still had something to talk about between father and son.
