Daming: I became Zhu Yuanzhang's eldest son

Zhu Tao thought of a good way to fool the barbarians, so he came to Zhu Yuanzhang happily, but when he got outside, he heard a crackling noise outside.

Then there was a scream like killing a pig.

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Industry is really poor. I didn't lie to you. Oh, please forgive me. I really didn't embezzle the money allocated for river treatment."

Zhu Tao came to Xu Zengshou suspiciously, and saw that he ordered his Jinyiwei dealer to press a chubby old minister on the board and beat him.

"Isn't this Mr. Liang from the household department? Why are you beating him like this?"

Xu Zengshou said with a look of contempt.

"He has been transferred to the Minister of the Ministry of Industry. Qin Tianjian predicts that there will be autumn floods this year, and asks the Ministry of Industry to send people to control the Yellow River. Who knows that this old boy said that the Ministry of Industry has no money, but His Majesty just allocated him a month ago. Three million taels of silver."

Zhu Tao looked at the old man, although he was a bit fat, but he didn't look like a corrupt person.

When this person was the secretary of the household department, he made a lot of achievements.Such people will be corrupt, and there will be no honest and honest officials in the world.

So he took out his golden whip.

"There is something strange about this case. The execution is suspended. I will ask His Majesty for an order before making a decision."

Seeing him showing his golden whip, Xu Zengshou didn't dare to stop him, so he had to order his subordinates to pause.

Zhu Tao held the golden whip with a golden envelope and went up to the Golden Luan Hall, and knelt down to salute Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was still angry, and loudly reprimanded the officials.

"Whoever dares to embezzle in the future, Liang Qingbiao is an example. Today we must beat him to death, and give the rest of your Ministry of Industry a chance. Whoever tells us where the money has gone, we will spare his life. Otherwise, everyone in the Ministry of Industry Let everyone bury that old man with him!"

At this moment, he saw Zhu Tao approaching, and forced a smile.

"Tao'er, you came at the right time. These corrupt and perverted dog officials have pissed us off to death. We order you to draw out your golden whip and interrogate them severely. If you don't recruit, you will beat these dog officials to death!"

Zhu Tao said respectfully: "Your servant obeys the decree, please ask my father to hand over this case to my minister for trial, and I promise that the result of the trial will be heard immediately, and it will not be too late to call again."

Zhu Yuanzhang admired this son's talent very much.

"Alright, this case will be heard by you, right in the Golden Luan Hall, let's see how long these dogs will continue to fool around!"

Following Zhu Yuanzhang's order, Zhu Tao took out the golden whip from the golden envelope, held it in his hand and said.

"Since my father entrusted me with this case, in line with the principle of not in vain or indignity, come here and bring Liang Qingbiao back to me. The trial will definitely reveal the truth."

Several Jinyi guards dragged Liang Qingbiao back to the Jinluan Hall like a dead dog. When this guy saw the king's golden whip, he quickly fell to his knees and cried.

"His Royal Highness protects the king, the ministers absolutely did not embezzle the money."

"Master Liang, I believe you will not be greedy, but at least you have to tell the reason. Whose pocket did the money go into, and why did it disappear in the big treasury of the Ministry of Industry?"

At this moment, someone among the generals suddenly spoke.

"But His Highness asked you, you have to tell the truth, otherwise the golden whip will kill you!"

Zhu Tao looked at the person who made the sound, but found that it was Geng Bingwen's subordinate, Gangyonghou Lu Boyuan. At this moment, Liang Qingbiao's face turned ashen.

"His Royal Highness, I won't complain anymore, just beat me to death!"

Zhu Tao snorted, held up the golden whip, walked towards Gangyonghou Lu Boyuan, and greeted him with his head.

Lu Boyuan didn't take a weapon when he went to court, so he backed up a few steps in fright, barely dodging a whip.

Zhu Tao didn't want to let anyone go, so he swung himself up and hit him three times.

With a click, one of Lu Boyuan's legs was broken by the golden whip, and he fell into a pool of blood.

At this moment, his brother Lu Zhongheng became impatient and rushed forward to stop him.

"Zhu Tao, your majesty is going to use force, do you want to rebel?"

Zhu Tao had heard long ago that the two brothers Lu Zhongheng were proud of being favored and took credit. Looking at their actions in the Golden Palace, he knew that this matter was related to the two brothers.

"The golden whip was bestowed by His Majesty, to beat the lawless prince above and the treacherous officials below!"

"My brother is not a traitor!"

"He forced Mr. Liang to confess as soon as he opened his mouth, what a prestige!"

"He can't stand this kind of corrupt officials, and vents his anger on His Majesty's behalf. That is to say, my brother is kind-hearted. If it were me, he would have killed them all in Liang's mansion long ago!"

Zhu Tao's golden whip came down mercilessly, and Lu Zhongheng was so frightened that he quickly dodged and ran towards the Golden Luan Hall.

Zhu Tao roared and said.

"Do you dare to assassinate the king? Warriors in front of the palace, take down this traitor!"

Although the Lu Zhongheng brothers were domineering, they were not brainless idiots. Hearing Zhu Tao's shout, he quickly retreated in fright, knelt down on the steps with a plop, and let the warrior catch him.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We were wronged. We did not offend the king."

Zhu Yuanzhang vaguely understood what was going on, and looked at Zhu Tao.

"Tao'er, it's up to you to interrogate!"

Both of them were taken down, and Zhu Tao came to Liang Qingbiao with a golden whip in his hand.

"Master Liang, you should tell the truth this time. Otherwise, your whole family would be the ones who ransacked."

Zhu Tao said it so clearly, he would be a fool if he didn't understand it.

"Returning to Your Highness, Lu Lei, Lu Boyuan's son, is the minister of the Ministry of Industry. Recently, he wanted to build a villa for Ruan Mianmian, a famous Annan prostitute whom he had a crush on recently, according to the size of the Humble Administrator's Garden, so he embezzled all the money. The minister didn't want to give it to him. Domineeringly said that the country was brought down by our father, so what's the matter with spending your money? If you don't know how to do it again, I will kill you all over the house!"

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, ordered someone to take Lu Lei down on the spot, and told him to return the embezzled 300 million taels of silver. Who knew that Lu Lei said that it was all given to the old bustard of Yihong Shuyu, who also built the garden .

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that his face was livid, and he gave an order.

"Jin Yiwei, drag this bastard out for us, peel the real grass, and set an example for officials all over the world. Let's see who dares to be greedy again."

When the Lu brothers heard this order, they were frightened out of their wits, and hurriedly begged Zhu Yuanzhang for mercy.

"The two of you brothers are conniving and conniving, and have done evil. You have already been full of crimes. I think you two have made great achievements in the northern expedition with the army. You will lose your title. Go home and think about the past behind closed doors."

Then another imperial decree was issued, that Liang Qingbiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, did not report his knowledge and was fined for three years to see the effect. The rest of the people were also punished accordingly.

After dealing with these matters, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly frowned.

"Tao'er, the 300 million taels of silver embezzled by Lu Lei will not be recovered for a while, but the river is imminent. How can you get us the 300 million taels of silver?"
