I, the grandson of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty, earned 100 million taels at the beginning

And it's accurate with one shot.

If this guy didn't stand up today, he has already shown Zhu Di's attitude.

Zhu Di intends to make a big problem into a small one, and make a small one into a small one.

Assign Zhang Xuan to investigate this matter, no need to think about it, everyone knows what the result will be.

It must be that this group of disaster victims intended to rebel, but was discovered by His Royal Highness and directly suppressed them.

His Royal Highness Taisun not only has no faults, but has merits.

"Ji Gang!"

Zhu Di let out a low drink.

Ji Gang, who was standing at the end of the line, quickly stepped forward.

"Chen is here!"

The commander of Jin Yiwei actually does not need to go to court, unless the emperor specially ordered him to do so.

For example, today you have to arrest people, ransack your home, etc.

"Choose one of you Jin Yiwei!"

Ji Gang seemed to have been prepared for this, and replied directly after Zhu Di finished speaking: "Ji Xiao, Commander and Counselor of Jin Yiwei, is upright and good at arresting and interrogating, so he is a good candidate."

Good guy, Manchao Wenwu yelled in his heart.

Enough!

It's fine for the emperor to send one of his own dogs, and you Jin Yiwei are even more shameless, and directly sent the old man of the person under investigation.

Nima, where is the face? Where is the face?

The officials rolled their eyes at this candidate, but Zhu Di nodded in approval.

"Ji Xiao Zhineng, I've heard of it, it's ok... it's him."

The officials: Hehe, as long as you are happy.

Zhu Di looked at the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment again, meaning that everyone is here, so your Ministry of Punishment should also release someone.

Liu Guan, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, has long since looked down upon Zhu Di and Ji Gang's dirty practices.

He ignored Zhu Dishi's eyes, and replied loudly: "Lu Yuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, is upright..."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice just wanted to say that he is upright, but suddenly remembered that Ji Gang praised his cousin in this way just now.In an instant... Liu Guan felt that uprightness had become a derogatory term, so he directly changed his words: "He is an upright person, good at criminal law, and has no intersection with his grandson, so he is a very suitable candidate."

Everyone finally felt better.

Finally, a reliable one appeared.

And the other's wife's niece seems to have gotten very close to the second emperor's grandson Zhu Zhanji recently.

They even heard that the Crown Princess has planned to let Zhu Zhanji marry the other party's niece.

Hehe, it's exciting to watch now.

Chapter 109: Beat the Dengwen Drum and go to Beijing to sue the Imperial Court.

Zhu Di glanced at the Secretary of the Ministry of Punishment.

Yep, here's your pick.

If you are not satisfied with the result later, don't look for me.

I didn't force you to choose this person, you recommended it yourself.

"Okay, since the people are settled, let them as soon as possible..."

"Dongdongdongdongdongdongdong..."

Just when Zhu Di was about to say that since the candidate has been selected, he should leave as soon as possible, there was a burst of drumming outside the palace.

"It's a Dengwen drum!"

I don't know who yelled, and everyone's hearts suddenly rose.

When the Dengwen drum sounded, it meant that there were grievances that the local officials could not settle, or grievances that were ignored.

The common people could not find a place to appeal their grievances, so they went to the capital to sue the imperial court.

As long as Dengwen's drum sounds, the emperor will personally check the case and appoint officials to investigate and deal with it.

December of the first year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who had just ascended the throne, set up a Dengwen drum outside the Meridian Gate in order to understand the people's sentiments and show benevolence.

All the people in the world have grievances, and the local officials dare not take care of or ignore the eucalyptus, they can beat the Dengwen drum, go straight to the heaven, and the emperor will personally accept it. Anyone who dares to obstruct it will be punished as a traitor.

Of course, this drum can't be played casually.

If your husband and wife get into a fight, and the brothers split up, if you come to knock on this, you will be courting death.

It's not a big grievance, even if you beat the Dengwen drum, the emperor will not care, and even if you beat the drum, you will have to go to the prison for a while.

Who told you to be idle and make fun of the emperor and his ministers.

If you don't go in, who will go in?

And there are professionals here.

This drum is not something you can beat if you want to.

To put it bluntly, the formalism of this drum is higher than the practical value.

This drum has not sounded since Zhu Di ascended the throne.

Zhu Di even thought that maybe when he died, this thing would not ring once.

Unexpectedly, when the Northern Expedition was imminent and the whole court was preparing for the Northern Expedition, the drum sounded.

Listen to the rumble of the drum.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were beating drums in their hearts.

The sound of this drum represents a great injustice.

Once the investigation is clear, I don't know how many heads will be moved because of it.

"Your Majesty, the Dengwen drum is sounding. According to the regulations of Emperor Taizu, Your Majesty, you need to wear formal clothes, open the guard of honor and lead the civil and military officials to the Meridian Gate to meet the people who complained."

From the last court to the present, the Minister of Rites, Lu Zhen, has been sleeping with his eyes closed.

The moment the Dengwen drum sounded, the whole person was lifted up, and he loudly announced the Taizu's regulations.

Zhu Di nodded solemnly, telling Lu Zhen to hurry up and prepare.

The other civil and military officials, Prince Hanwang and others also had solemn faces.

Everyone was thinking, where did the great injustice happen?It even made trouble in front of the emperor.

And why don't the people who specialize in managing Dengwen drums come to report?

There was no news about this at all, which made people beat the drums.

Soon the emperor's guard of honor was ready.

The civil and military officials lined up neatly, and under the leadership of Prince Zhu Pangpang, they followed Zhu Di's dragon chariot and strode towards the Meridian Gate.

Outside the noon gate.

An official and a Jinyi guard stared at a young man in filial piety who was beating the Dengwen drum with ugly faces.

Originally in accordance with the rules.

If the other party wants to knock on Dengwen Drum, they need to register, and after the Jinyiwei of the Ministry of Criminal Justice reviews it, it will be reported to the emperor. The emperor confirms that he has taken over, and then allows the other party to come and knock.

But the guy in front of him didn't think about following the rules at all, he just wanted to beat the Dengwen drum.

For such a reckless guy, Jin Yiwei could directly detain him and take him away.

But what makes people helpless is that this young man is accompanied by another person.

It was also because of this person that Jin Yiwei and the officials in charge had no choice but to let the other party knock.

And the person who made Jin Yiwei and the officials helpless was a middle-aged scribe next to the young man knocking Deng Wengu.

This person is not an official.

Nor is it a well-known Confucian.

The other party was just an ordinary scholar.

Maybe someone will be curious.

How could an ordinary scholar stop an official of the Sixth Division and a Jin Yiwei.

the reason is simple.

Because this middle-aged scribe, surnamed Kong, came from Qufu, Shandong, and was a descendant of the saint family.

It is precisely because of this literati surnamed Kong who guarantees and sends each other that young people in filial piety can get close to Dengwengu.

"Clang clang clang..."

On the tower of Chengtian Gate, a solemn bell rang.

Hearing the ringing of the bell, the ugly-faced official on duty from the Sixth Division said loudly: "Stop knocking, Your Majesty is coming soon, get ready to kneel down to greet him!"

After shouting, he stopped talking to the two of them, and knelt on the ground in a daze, thinking about what punishment he would receive.

He didn't report the situation according to the rules, so the other party beat the Dengwen drum.

His Majesty and all the elders have been alarmed, and his official career has finally come to an end.

The face of the Jinyi guard on duty was not much better.

The reason for his ugly face was not only that he was similar to that official, but more importantly, he heard the name of the grandson Zhu Zhangui during the conversation between the two before they beat the drum.

As a person who was promoted by the grandson, it was hard for him to imagine how much disturbance it would cause if it had anything to do with the grandson.

Damn, if I knew it was about the grandson, I tried my best to stop the two of them just now.

Glaring at the two of them viciously, Jin Yiwei gritted his teeth, and quickly ran towards the flattering Tianmen.

He wanted to inform Ji Gang of this news before the emperor received the two, and then convey it to the emperor.

The reason why this guy worked so hard was because he was able to work in the palace because he was a grandson. Ji Gang promoted him for Zhu Zhangui's sake.

And this guy was the Jin Yiwei who knocked out Xu Bin's teeth with a knife when Xu Bin was arrested and Xu Bin called Zhu Zhanji his grandson.

"Father-in-law, are you really sure that the people who killed my family were from my grandson."

Next to the Dengwen drum.

The young man in filial piety who stopped beating the drum looked nervously in the direction of Chengtianmen, and asked the middle-aged scribe beside him in a low voice.

Patting the nervous young man in filial piety, the middle-aged scribe smiled and said to himself: "Our Kong family has existed in Shandong for so many years. Not to mention that our eyes and ears are all over Shandong, we can also be called well-informed."

"What kind of powerful bandits are there in Shandong? We are fully aware of any forces that do not belong to the imperial court."

"I can tell you responsibly that before the emperor's grandson left, there were not many bandits with a force of 5000 to [-] people in the entire Shandong Province, and there were not even a few cottages with hundreds of people."

"more importantly."

"That grandson's food is so strange, our family has never received any news that food has entered Shandong from other places."

"Furthermore, the emperor's grandson's so-called grain transportation team was attacked by gangsters, which is completely unfounded."

"We sent people to check everything within a radius of a hundred miles, and there was no trace of large-scale military battles at all."

"Let me ask you, how many people did the emperor and grandson transfer when he left at noon?"

The young man in filial piety recalled the news he had received, looked at the middle-aged scribe and said, "As far as I know, there are 4000 infantry, and 2000 cavalry were dispatched in the afternoon."

The middle-aged scribe nodded, and then asked, "How many bandits are there?"

The young man in filial piety shook his head.

"I'm not sure about this, but according to those uncles, there should be around 5000 people."

The middle-aged scribe smiled slightly, folded the fan in his hand, and tapped the young man in filial piety on the shoulder.

"There is not such a large bandit force in Jinan Prefecture, Shandong Province, and so many bandits came in the evening after leaving so many people in Taisun's army. Don't you think this number is too coincidental?"
