In the canopy hall.
The emperor's grandson's voice was very familiar to everyone.
Zhan Hui and others turned their backs to the palace gate, but they were frightened when they heard it.
Why did the emperor's grandson suddenly come to Huagai Palace?
Originally, Zhan Hui and others were surprised and surprised that Prince Yan would be in the Huagai Hall.
Now I saw that my grandson was here too.
For a moment, Zhan Hui and others felt guilty for no reason.
It was as if they were about to do something, but before they could do it, they were caught on the spot.
No.
It's not that they haven't done it yet, but they have just impeached Prince Yan.
"Your Highness..."
"I will see you, Your Highness..."
Zhan Hui and others' faces were tense. They turned around and looked at Zhu Yunxi who walked in at a fast pace, and felt a sudden rush in their hearts.
Looking behind the grandson, there are two young eunuchs in the palace, each holding a pile of memorials.
Zhu Yunxi looked at the group of academicians and ministers, and nodded: "You are exempt from the courtesy."
Then he turned to the two young eunuchs following him, waved his hand and pointed to the place where his father handled the imperial memorials: "Put it over to the prince first."
After giving the instructions, Zhu Yunxi walked up to Zhu Yuanzhang with a smile on his face, bowed respectfully and saluted: "Grandson, see you grandpa."
"No need." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled heartily and squinted at his eldest grandson standing in front of him: "When you come to Grandpa's house at this time, do you also want to have a meal?"
The smile on Zhu Yunxi's face became even brighter: "Isn't it just a coincidence? My grandson hasn't eaten a grain of rice since last night."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately raised his eyes and glared: "Sun Gou, why don't you hurry up and ask someone to bring food over."
Sun Gou'er nodded hurriedly, turned around and left the side hall.
Zhu Yuanzhang pulled Zhu Yunxi with a smile on his face and asked him to sit next to him: "I just asked the Xu family boy to stew the Luzhou Prefecture's chicken soup this morning. I will eat more later."
Zhu Yunxi was stunned for a moment, and then nodded with a bright face: "Grandpa still remembers his grandson."
But I sighed slightly in my heart, pretending to be too tired.
The chicken soup noodles I just ate before entering the palace, I am afraid I will have to eat a whole chicken later to satisfy the old man.
On the other side, Zhan Hui and others looked at the harmonious relationship between the Tian family's grandfather and grandson, but they were filled with bitterness.
There was a tense atmosphere just now because of the impeachment of Crown Prince Yan, but now it’s nothing?
Zhan Hui coughed lightly and looked blankly at Yu Xin, the bachelor of Wenhua Palace and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
Yu Xin was also a little hesitant at this time.
Now His Majesty is still in the mood to entertain his grandson, and if he disturbs others at this time, he may be in trouble. But it was useless not to mention the matter. Just now, with my sharp eyes, I saw clearly that among the pile of memorials brought by the grandson, there was one memorial for impeaching Prince Yan.
Now is the most uncomfortable time when you are neither up nor down.
Yu Xin quietly took a step forward, coughed slightly, and bowed: "Your Majesty, your Majesty just mentioned what we said about impeaching Prince Yan, and I thought it was biased."
Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and raised his brows: "Ah, there is another matter, please tell me, we will listen."…
Zhu Yunxi also left his seat at this time and stood aside with his hands solemn.
Yu Xin nodded and said in a deep voice: "I, Wan Jinbiao, the deputy tax director of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Taxation Office, was involved in the murder of the family. The taxation office is responsible for the oversight and it is not the fault of Prince Yan. However, Prince Yan ordered Things like this happened in the Shangyuan County Branch of the Taxation Department, which shows the daily management style of the Taxation Department.
The ministers and others thought that Prince Yan was still young and it was useless to take on the duties of the tax bureau, which was related to the country, the country, and the country. It was inevitable that he would be unfamiliar with it. Even if he was careless, it was human nature. Fortunately, today was just a tragedy of massacre.

】
Since there was a death penalty, I thought that the court should clarify the canonical punishments based on emotions and reasons, and provide justice to the people. We can also correct mistakes and stop losses as early as possible to avoid future troubles with the tax bureau and other state organs. "
According to the opinions of Yu Xin and Zhan Hui, although Prince Yan was impeached, the target of the attack must be aimed at the tax bureau.
It highlights the importance of the tax bureau in Ming Dynasty and attracts attention.
Zhu Yunxi's eyes narrowed slightly, and Yu Xin's remarks were very precise. They only mentioned the importance of the tax office, and they also brought out the issues that Central Plains politics are obsessed with and nip them in the bud.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was already leaning forward, had a faint look in his eyes, and he pinched his fingers together and rubbed them slowly.
"This statement makes sense. The state's public instruments cannot be changed, so we must be careful."
Zhan Hui raised his eyebrows and immediately took a step forward: "I believe that the imperial court should be cautious when dealing with the tax office. Such a restructuring of local grain chiefs is something that will benefit hundreds of millions of people in the world, but it is also related to the Ming Dynasty. Important matters in the Thirteen Places, if you are not careful, it will cause an uproar."
After finishing speaking, Zhan Hui frowned and sighed softly: "Now in Yingtian City, an important place in Gyeonggi Province, someone from the tax office branch has appeared, involving the extermination of the family. If the court does not act impartially and spreads it, the people should What do you think?
The ministers and others also checked the documents and archives of Yingtian Mansion of the Li family that was wiped out. They found out that this family did not do any bad things in normal times. This time, Yingtian Mansion’s grain director was reorganized and the tax bureau checked the local taxes over the years. The Li family also did not no problem.
Such a family actually died at the hands of someone in the tax bureau. How will the tax bureau proceed with the restructuring in the future? People will probably become frightened and fear them like a tiger when they hear about someone in the tax bureau. "
Zhu Yuanzhang leaned on the couch, his eyes passing over Zhan Hui and others, and finally towards Zhu Gaochi, who was sitting with the prince.
Zhu Yunxi frowned.
It was obvious that at this point the court's demands were clear.
Zhan Hui and the others wanted to get involved in the tax bureau, and they wanted to have the power of the tax bureau, or participate in the profit sharing, instead of being completely independent of the court as it is now, and being controlled by the chieftain of the clan.
Zhan Hui and other civil servant leaders wanted to have more power, or even further, they wanted less power directly in the hands of the monarch.
For more than twenty years, the civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were actually tired of having a king who was meticulous and showed no mercy in front of the law. ….
It was just because the king held a bloody butcher knife in his hand that they did not show it. But once they are given the opportunity, they will always want to test the feasibility involuntarily.
Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly: "Your Majesty, the deputy tax director of the Shangyuan County Branch of the Customs and Excise Department, Wan Jinbiao, has other secrets behind his murder."
After finishing speaking, Zhu Yunxi waved his sleeves and took a step back. He turned back and looked at Zhan Hui and others indifferently: "The tax office is also the source of suffering! I am in charge of the tax office. Today I want to vindicate the tax office in front of His Majesty! I also want to refute the court. You guys, indiscriminately, put human lives and lawsuits on our tax office.
There are thousands of officials in the tax bureau, who travel to the countryside for months, and never enter the house three times. They only work for the Ming Dynasty. They do not say they have merit, but they work hard. At present, there is no public examination, so they are harshly criticized. The tax bureau It can be said that all officials are heartbroken. "
The hearts of Zhan Hui and others were beating wildly. They knew clearly that since the grandson came here today, he must be speaking for the tax bureau. But now, before he could find out, he acted like he had been wronged.
Yu Xin couldn't help but step forward and was about to speak.
But he saw that the grandson had already stretched out his hand and stared at him dimly.
Zhu Yunxi suppressed Yu Xin who wanted to speak, turned around and walked towards his father. Seeing that Xiaopang had stood up at this time, he reached out and patted the other party on the shoulder.
Then he bowed to the prince and said, "Father."
Zhu Biao nodded silently and looked at the memorials that his son had just brought over.
At this time, Zhu Yunxi had already picked up the basic memorials and opened them one by one under the gaze of everyone: "This is the memorial of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry impeaching the Tax Office and the Crown Prince of Yan. This is the memorial of the Right Minister of the Ministry of Industry."
Lang's memorial, this is the memorial of a doctor from the Ministry of Industry. "
"These are memorials written by the Minister of Household Affairs and the deployment officials."
"These are the officials of the Ministry of Personnel and the deployment officials."
"These books belong to the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War."
"There are also these, involving the imperial court's five temples and various departments, impeaching our tax office and Yan Shizi's memorial."
Zhu Yunxi reported one by one who had submitted the memorials.
Then, he slapped it hard on the table.
His eyes also darkened for a moment: "If I hadn't happened to meet someone from the General Affairs Office when I entered the palace today, I wouldn't have known that so many memorials were for impeaching our tax office and the Crown Prince Yan. of."
"When did the Ming Dynasty actually develop the trend of impeaching the whole court before punishing the crime?"
Zhu Yunxi took a few steps forward again, his eyes became darker and his tone became more pressing: "What do you want to do? Are you going to start a party fight!"
Boom.
In the Canopy Hall, the atmosphere suddenly felt like falling into an ice cellar in the cold winter.
Winter winter winter.
Zhan Hui and others knelt down in front of Zhu Yuanzhang in an instant.
"I am just worried about the court because of the affairs of the tax bureau and for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. I have no intention of partisanship."
After saying that, several people fell to the ground.
Party strife is something that no one dares to mention, let alone touch.
What did the former Song Dynasty die from?
The emperor has no virtue, the ladies in the court are sycophants, and the party is divided against those who are different.
And there is one thing that has to be admitted, that is, every time the former Song Dynasty tried to reform the political situation, it would trigger large-scale party strife, and then various new policies would end in vain or backfire. ….
And the country is also coming to an end in this struggle.
Party strife is the biggest taboo in the court.
However, Zhu Yunxi pressed forward step by step: "Since there is no party dispute in mind, why did all the princes in the court believe that Wan Jinbiao did this when the situation was unknown? Could it be that Jin Yiwei found out the whole story and told you all? Already?"
"Today, the situation is unclear, so the imperial court can so aggressively denounce the tax office and the Crown Prince Yan who is serving the country. In the future, will it be possible for individuals to make unwarranted speculations and impeach colleagues in the court for no reason?"
"If there is corruption in the local area, can I directly impeach your officials?"
"Or are you saying that if the annual tax collection is even half a cent, I can hold your household department accountable?"
"Every year, troubles always happen, and even people are killed. Can we also attribute the responsibility to the Ministry of War?"
"There is a plan to destroy the family in Taiping, but Yingtian Mansion didn't notice it and didn't give any warning. As a local government, everyone in Yingtian Mansion, including Shangyuan County, should be sent outside the Great Wall!"
"Above the court, you act on the wind, without asking the reason, indiscriminately, and wantonly frame the officials of the same dynasty. The fair laws of the Ming Dynasty are no longer in your eyes!"
Zhu Yunxi's expression became colder, and his face turned as cold as frost.
Zhan Hui and others did not dare to speak out.
"enough."
Zhu Yuanzhang, who was leaning on the couch, finally frowned and interrupted in a deep voice.
Zhu Yunxi stopped speaking, cupped his fists and cupped his hands, and took two steps back.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said in a low voice: "Since my grandson mentioned that there is an grievance against the tax office, I think I have another agenda, so I will make it clear here together, so as to avoid us having to continue the unprovoked entanglement."
Zhu Yunxi cupped his hands and nodded: "Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have now found out that this incident was not done by Wan Jinbiao. When the incident happened that night, the people who went to report the incident to the patrolling Marquis Wu were not the people of Taiping, but It’s Li Erfu, a tenant of the Li family.”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes suddenly flashed: "Could it be that the tenants killed people and took money?"
Zhan Hui and others couldn't help but raise their heads, surprised that Jin Yiwei could find the murderer so quickly.
In their opinion, this case is basically unsolvable.
Wan Jinbiao will get all the stolen goods, unless the real murderer surrenders himself, otherwise
It is the headless male eucalyptus.
"No." Zhu Yunxi smiled slightly, and then glanced at Zhan Hui and the others coldly: "The murderers were several households adjacent to the Li family in Chunhua Town. During this restructuring of tax collectors and grain chiefs, they were investigated by the tax bureau and designated for relocation. The people in Jiaozhi conspired to do this. Li Erfu was the one who betrayed the Li family and informed them."
for this truth.
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he was also surprised and extremely surprised.
What I originally thought was that there would be a brilliant plan behind this case, with interests intertwined and the truth confusing.
But who would have thought that just because some families in the countryside were indignant at their own family's suffering, injustice, and the leader's troubles, they came up with the idea of hiding their children's identities and trying to seize the Li family's property. .
Wan Jinbiao was an unlucky fool who got into trouble. Just in time, he was brought to the scene of the Li family's massacre, and he took the blame. ….
If Zhang Hui hadn't interrogated these things himself and repeated the interrogation three times, causing even the imperial doctors at the Imperial Hospital who had turned into research madmen to complain that Zhang Hui's interrogation was too messy, Zhu Yunxi would not have given a cent. I believe that the truth of the matter is so unexpected.
Zhan Hui and others' hearts tightened for no reason.
This eucalyptus has really been found out.
Afterwards, several people felt relieved again.
As long as it is confirmed that several families adjacent to the Li family in Chunhua Town conspired to do it, then it is impossible for this matter to be involved in other places.
And Zhu Gaochi, who had been impeached since Zhan Hui and others entered the palace, suddenly stood up at this time.
He was silent, walked steadily in front of the old man, and knelt down in a daze.
"Grandpa Emperor, my grandson is wronged!"
Then, there was a clang sound, and his forehead was knocked on the gold brick in front of him.
Looking at the eldest son of the fourth family who was kneeling in front of him and crying out for injustice, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not mention it to him.
Instead, he turned to look at Zhu Yunxi in front of him.
Only two days before the news broke out, they were able to find Li Erfu who had tipped off the news, and they were able to confirm that the real culprits of the murder were that family from Chunhua Town.
This method can be described as vigorous and resolute.
Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel a bit of pride and emotion in his eyes: "Is the love confirmed?"
Zhu Yunxi nodded firmly: "It's unmistakable. It won't be long before all the criminals are captured by the Jinyi Guards."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and looked at Zhan Hui and others who were kneeling on the ground and the heir apparent of the fourth family: "In that case, let's wait for news from Jin Yiwei."
…
Dressed in a bright red flying fish uniform, the pro-army Jin Yiwei commander Jiang Wei entered from the Chang'an Gate on the right, passed through Chengtian Gate, Duanmen, and Meridian Gate, and entered the palace.
Then he crossed the Fengtian Gate, passed through the Fengtian Palace Square, bypassed the Fengtian Palace, and finally arrived in front of the Huagai Palace after a long journey.
"Your Majesty, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Wei, has something to report. I would like to send you my greetings."
The entire palace has been waiting for Jiang Yu's arrival.
Follow him to sign up outside the palace gate.
Sun Gou'er walked out of the hall with a smile on his face and came to Jiang Wei: "The commander is here. Your Majesty has been waiting for you."
Jiang Wei straightened up and looked at Sun Gou'er with a cold face, but his tone was kind: "I'm sorry, Superintendent."
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, Jiang Wei, your Highness the Crown Prince, and Your Highness the Grand Sun."
In the hall, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Jiang Yu stood there, making people feel that there were waves of gloomy aura spreading out.
Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the commander in front of him who had been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years, and a smile appeared on his face: "But the result of the annihilation of the Li family in Taiping? Today, all ministers are present, so you explained the matter carefully and clearly."
Jiang Wei looked around and nodded silently.
As the commander of the Jin Yiwei, he naturally knew everything about the officials from the DPRK and the Central Government who wanted to attack the tax office.
Therefore, this was why he ordered people to take the Wan Jin Biao and send him to the Jinyiwei Prison after his revelation the night before.
It was obvious that the grandson, who showed kindness at this moment, had proved that his choice was correct.
As for Zhan Hui and the old gang?
It has never been in my consideration.
Jiang Wei made up his mind and said, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the Jinyi Guards have now found out the reason why the Li family in Taiping was destroyed."
"This crime was a conspiracy between the Sun, Zhao and Wang families in Chunhua Town to plan for the Li family's ten thousand acres of fertile land at the foot of Fangshan Mountain to hide the children who had changed their identities."
"The three families lured Li Erfu, a tenant of the Li family, to inform him and confirmed that all the Li family members were at their home in Taipingli on the night of the death. The three families invited the Li family to a banquet on the pretext that they were about to go south to Jiaozhi."
"The three families brought their henchmen with them. When the Li family became drunk, they suddenly took action and brutally murdered the entire Li family."
"Currently, the Jinyiwei have arrested all three families and are currently being held in the Jinyiwei Prison. The Jinyiwei Interrogation Chief Zhang Hui will personally interrogate and verify them."
After finishing speaking, Jiang Wei took out a confession transcript from his sleeve.
"Your Majesty, these are the transcripts of the confessions of prisoners from three families who have been interrogated by the Jin Yiwei. Please read them."
After saying that, Jiang Wei lowered his head and took the confession in both hands.
Zhu Yunxi stared at the confession taken out by Jiang Yu with dazzling eyes, and looked blankly at Zhan Hui and others who were still kneeling on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were dim and there was an unpredictable smile on his face.
"Have you obtained confessions?"
"Jin Yiwei's work is becoming more and more in line with my wishes."
