Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Before, he was just blinded by the sudden idea that came to his mind.

When he turned the corner, he immediately discovered that the job here with Master Hu was really rewarding.

Not to mention anything else, just look at the current reality. Anyway, they are both poor and don't have a proper job at all, right?

It would be better to go to Master Hu to find a job to support the family.

Fang Xiaoru and Jie Jin discussed it in detail again and decided on it.

After the Chinese New Year, I immediately went to report to Master Hu.

Xie Jin, who has understood his situation, is more worried than anyone else.

It wasn't for any other reason. He was just worried that Mr. Hu had already recruited all the people in advance, or that all the good positions had been taken by other people.

Wouldn't it be a waste for him to get the news so early and be personally invited by Master Hu?

Not to mention the two people who were full of expectations but anxious, as time went by in Yingtian City, on one hand, the New Year atmosphere was getting stronger and more lively, while on the other hand, the officialdom was in turmoil and chaos.

Just then, at the court meeting early in the morning, a group of officials who had been completely frightened and unable to sit still in the past few days by the large-scale deployment of the Jinyiwei finally stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei have been wantonly breaking the law and arresting loyal officials in the court. This has reached a point of madness. I hope Your Majesty will order a thorough investigation!"

"Your Majesty, the Jinyiwei framed and tortured people into confessing. This is destroying the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, please stop it immediately!"

"His Majesty……"

Looking at the officials standing up one by one, whether it was Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the dragon throne or Zhu Biao standing at the front of the line, they all looked silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang, as usual, had his thumbs clasped on the jade belt around his waist, and his tiger eyes half-closed and half-opened as he looked at the excited courtiers.

After everything that needed to be said had been said and everyone who needed to stand up had stood up, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Well, that's it!"

"Then it's our turn to speak!"

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up directly, walked down the imperial steps, came in front of the crowd, and stood almost face to face opposite them.

"The foundation of the imperial court, the loyal and good people of the Ming Dynasty?"

"I really didn't expect that a group of traitors who were arrested by Mao Xiang and his gang with all the evidence would become indispensable people in our Ming Dynasty in your mouths."

"how?"

"Without those people, our Ming Dynasty will not be able to survive?"

No one dared to answer!

Many people simply lowered their heads, not daring to look directly into Zhu Yuanzhang's intimidating eyes.

"Framed, tortured, forced to confess?"

"Is this how you view those who are convicted?"

"Could it be that the Jinyiwei helped bribe the officials and the local garrison to rebel?"

Everyone fell silent.

Some of them even started to tremble.

Because they suddenly realized that Zhu Yuanzhang's determination on this matter seemed to be stronger than they had imagined.

This is no longer a question of whether or not we can get the person out.

If this continues, it seems that they won’t be able to protect themselves.

But Zhu Yuanzhang did not scold them. Instead, he looked around again and slowly walked back to the imperial throne.

Sitting comfortably on the dragon throne, Zhu Yuanzhang clasped his hand on the jade belt again and raised his eyebrows slightly at the people below.

"We know that many of you are afraid!"

"We have nothing to comfort you."

"The laws of the Ming Dynasty are right there, each and every clause is clearly written!"

"In the past, those bastards who are now in the Jinyiwei prison are not unaware that they have violated the law, but we were too cautious, so we let them go!"

"Of course, it's not just them. There are also many people, including you who are standing in the court. Many of them are breaking the law knowingly."

"In fact, we also want to know, who gave you the courage?"

"We have the Imperial Guard on our left hand and the Censorate on our right hand to monitor the whole world, and we also have the Imperial Censorate to assist us. We may not be able to see everything that happens in the world, but at least we know more or less what's going on."

"Then why do you think that we don't know who caused the trouble?"

"Yes, that's right. We have let many people go before, but if we want to take drastic measures, it will only be a formal punishment!"

"Reasonable, legal and aboveboard!"

Please...you...collect_6191 book 1 bar (six \\\n\\\\book\\\\bar!)

When these eight words came out, many people in the court almost gritted their teeth.

"Isn't it legal and reasonable? The laws were set by your Zhu family. If you say someone broke the law, is that wrong?"

"Humph, if you work so hard to be an official, but you can neither benefit your family nor live a life of luxury, then what's the point of being an official?"

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you sound nice, but look at the life your Zhu family leads, and then look at the life we ​​lead. Why should we have to work so hard for you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang understood it in his heart.

In fact, these people before him were not the candidates for officials that he was satisfied with from the beginning.

Among the older group, many had already held official positions when the Yuan Dynasty had not yet been destroyed.

As for the family behind it, they dominated the area with the support of the Yuan Dynasty and brought great harm to the people in the village.

For these people, Zhu Yuanzhang was not the founding emperor who drove out the Tartars and restored China. Instead, he was an evil ghost who damaged the interests of their family for generations.

Therefore, the hatred and conflict were planted long ago.

But Zhu Yuanzhang didn't care!

He leaned back slightly, looking lazy, but in fact he was looking at the people below like a hungry tiger.

"I'm sure you all know that I will abdicate to the crown prince after the new year."

"After all, we have been in charge of this world for so long, it is time for someone else to try his luck."

"But, as a father, I have to clean up the house before I can pass on the family business to my children, right?"

"So, let me tell you clearly, either you follow the laws of the Ming Dynasty, or we will get rid of you and replace you with new people!"

"After all, there are so many people in this world who can read and write. Who doesn't want to be an official?"

Everyone was completely speechless now.

In the past, when Zhu Yuanzhang spoke in the court, he was often criticized behind his back for being vulgar and having different literary styles.

But he had never said things so bluntly before.

He didn't care about the taboos between the emperor and his subjects, or between the court officials, and stripped off all the bright and beautiful outer layers.

It's exposed so nakedly in broad daylight.

This makes many people feel uncomfortable.

It is one thing to keep some thoughts in your heart and hide them in words, but it is another thing to speak them out.
