It is true that Xu Da took the initiative to adopt Zhu Xiongying to satisfy his selfish desires, but he also really liked Zhu Xiongying in his heart, and secretly made up his mind to train Zhu Xiongying well.

So in the following days, Xu Da took good care of Zhu Xiongying.

Because of his own affinity buff skills are full, and Zhu Xiongying is too good-looking and has a pleasing personality, all the people in the Duke's Mansion were captured by him within three days, and he liked him so much, so Zhu Xiongying became the entire Duke's Mansion palm treasure.

On the other side, when Zhu Yuanzhang returned to the court, he had to face a lot of mess.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon chair and looked at the ministers wearing various official uniforms below.

"During this southern tour, I found that the floods in the south of the Yangtze River were extremely serious. Frozen deaths and starvation abounded everywhere. As early as the beginning of the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, I sent ministers to deal with it. It has been several months now, and there is still no effect!"

If Zhu Yuanzhang hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it.

Many months have passed since the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, and the south of the Yangtze River is still in a mess, with no trace of the prosperity of the future!
You know, since he came to power, Jiangnan's economy has developed rapidly, and it has almost become the economic center of the country. The prosperity here is praised and yearned for by the whole country, but now...

Seeing that there was no sound, Zhu Yuanzhang Longyan was furious.

"This matter is so serious that you people can't give me any ideas, so what use is there for you, why don't you all be dragged down and beheaded!"

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, all the officials immediately knelt down and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty, calm down, Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he couldn't get out. These wine bags and rice bags were all greedy for life and afraid of death. They only knew how to pamper them, and they were useless at all.

"How much relief money has been allocated to Jiangnan this time?"

Zhu Yuanzhang calmed down a little, and asked again.

The servant of the household department stumbled up and ran up, knelt on the ground: "Report to Your Majesty, a total of 3000 taels have been dialed!"

"A total of 3000 taels have been allocated, so where did the money go? So much money has been spent, why is there no effect at all?" Zhu Yuanzhang scolded angrily.

For a while, all the ministers dared not speak out, for fear that Zhu Yuanzhang would really chop off their heads.

"Where is the servant of the Ministry of Industry?"

When the minister of the Ministry of Industry heard Zhu Yuanzhang's call, his legs became weak, he knelt down on the ground, crawled forward with hands and feet, and replied tremblingly: "The minister is..."

"If you want to deal with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, you need to repair the canals and build bridges, but I didn't find any of these projects completed during my southern tour. What's going on? You'd better explain to me!"

The minister of the Ministry of Industry was so frightened that he couldn't understand what he said: "Your Majesty, I... I really acted impartially, and I didn't dare to be negligent at all. It's just... I just got it. The disaster relief funds in total, how can it be enough?" What about water conservancy construction projects?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious: "One by one, they will shirk their responsibilities! This money and disaster relief funds are not in the Ministry of Households, nor are they in the Ministry of Industry. Where did they go? Could it have disappeared?"

The two ministers, the Minister of the Household Department and the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, have their old faces on the ground. It seems that the two people's partnership in embezzling disaster relief funds cannot be concealed.

According to Zhu Yuanzhang's temper, the heads of the two seem to be a certainty...

Alas...

"Where did all this money go? Is it really used to treat the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, or is it being enriched by you people!"

Therefore, since I took office, I have strictly investigated and dealt with corrupt officials. Whether it is a small local official or a central minister, once corruption is found, it will be severely punished.

He even announced that the world would kill officials who embezzled more than 60 taels of silver, and would never forgive them lightly.

In just one year, he dealt with many ministers in the court back and forth, and found that from top to bottom, the entire court was very corrupt.

So I used the method of thunder, trying to put an end to corrupt officials at once.

Therefore, under his own rule and rectification, the number of corrupt officials has indeed decreased significantly, but he did not expect that some people are still bold enough to break the law under the eyes of the emperor.

Zhu Yuanzhang hated this deeply, so he repeatedly punished corrupt officials.

All the officials were timid, and none of them dared to answer Zhu Yuanzhang's words.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been in power for many years, so how could he not be aware of the virtues of these officials in the DPRK? He could tell at a glance that a lot of money allocated for disaster relief probably went into the pockets of these guys without knowing it.

As long as this group of black sheep is still there, the country will never have a day of peace.

This matter has always been a big worry for Zhu Yuanzhang.

"What audacity!" Zhu Yuanzhang yelled sharply, "Come here, detain these two lawless idiots and put them in the sky prison. Without my permission, you are not allowed to step out of the sky prison! Wait! Fall back!"

"Yes!" Two imperial guards stepped forward to escort the two officials away.

Zhu Yuanzhang held his sore temple with one hand and waved his hand.

The chief eunuch announced: "Retire!"

After the court, Zhu Yuanzhang was walking back to the palace.

The chief eunuch Zhu Lide stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, which empress do you want to stay in the palace today?"

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips: "I'm going to be bored to death these days, I'm really not in the mood, the palace is too oppressive, I just want to breathe..."

Zhu Lide watched his nose with his eyes and his heart with his nose. For so many years, Zhu Yuanzhang served Zhu Yuanzhang's every move, life habits, including his thoughts and thoughts. He couldn't be more clear.

Looking at Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, he probably missed the child picked up by the river during the previous southern tour.

Although Zhu Li had never seen the legendary inner child, Zhu Yuanzhang loved and attached great importance to the inner child, and Zhu Lide had heard of it for a long time.

"Your Majesty is working day and night on state affairs, so you still have to take care of your dragon's body. Don't let your body become exhausted."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled wryly: "Why don't I worry about this internal and external trouble... Forget it, don't think about it, you go to the Duke's mansion, I miss that child."

Zhu Lide said courteously: "My maidservant has asked someone to prepare the carriage, and His Majesty can leave at any time."

"You're still clever." Zhu Yuanzhang cursed with a smile.

When I came to the Duke's Mansion, I heard a burst of laughter coming from the courtyard.

It turned out that Zhu Xiongying was learning to walk.

"Come, come, baby, come to Father!" Xu Da opened his arms and shouted at Zhu Xiongying.

Zhu Xiongying's two short legs were still unsteady, and she wobbled around in circles.

I don't know who saw Zhu Yuanzhang who was wearing a dragon robe at the door first, and said, "See Your Majesty!"

Everyone came to their senses and knelt down to salute.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand: "Let's all get flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Xu Da stepped forward: "Your Majesty, why are you free to come to the Duke's Mansion today?"
