The Ming Dynasty started with caution

East Palace,

At this time, Zhu Houzhao took the long blade of Jinwu Guard and shouted at the two eunuchs to kill them. The two eunuchs ran away with their heads in their hands.

They were returning to the capital to visit their relatives, and the prince invited them to come over for a drink. Unexpectedly, in the middle of the dinner, the prince suddenly pulled out his white sword and said he would kill them to make a contribution to their career.

The two of them were confused. If Jin Wuwei hadn't stopped them, they would have been killed by Zhu Houzhao.

But the Jinwu Guards could not stop Zhu Houzhao, and they were afraid of hurting him, so they had to stand in front of the two tax supervisors.

"Ma Banban, guard the palace gate for me..."

"Prince, please forgive me..."

"I am going to kill you to eliminate harm for the people!"

When Emperor Hongzhi arrived, Zhu Houzhao was chasing them with a long blade and shouted: "Zhu Houzhao!"

When Zhu Houzhao saw Emperor Hongzhi coming, he threw his long blade under the table and was instantly frightened.

"I asked them if they were tax collectors. They admitted it, and I cut them off."

The two tax supervisors turned pale and knelt down in front of Emperor Hongzhi. They shouted to His Majesty for help, and they breathed a sigh of relief.

Emperor Hongzhi looked at Zhu Houzhao with sharp eyes and said solemnly: "They are my tax supervisors!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't dare to face it.

Emperor Hongzhi glanced around, looking for something handy, preferably something long and hard that would hurt the body but not kill anyone.

But except for the knife, I didn't see anything suitable for beating people.

With just one look, Zhu Houzhao knew that his father wanted to beat him again, and he blinked innocently: "Did father forget to bring the dragon beating whip?"

"How do you know?"

Zhu Houzhao quickly admitted his mistake: "I was wrong. I will never dare to do it again next time."

Emperor Hongzhi snorted coldly: "Why do you want to kill the tax supervisor!"

"My son heard...Master Ma's son killed the tax supervisor and made meritorious service. Master Yan said that he was a tax supervisor with nine corruptions..."

Master Yan is naturally Yan Chengjin.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was covered with black lines. He was extremely angry but calmed down: "You think all tax supervisors in the world are like Jiang Zong!"

But Zhu Houzhao said plausibly: "May I ask my father, is the money collected by the tax inspector used for palace expenses?

However, life in the palace was as poor as water. The Queen Mother was better off, but the expenses for her children and ministers were not as good as those of Lao Gao. What else could it be if they didn't take advantage of them? "

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned red. It's not greedy, it's because I ordered to save money...

When they heard the word greedy, it was like a ghost knocking on the door, and the two tax supervisors shivered in fear.

What Your Majesty dislikes the most is people who are greedy for ink. Li Guang has just been beheaded in the palace.

Thinking of this,

The two tax supervisors kowtowed together: "Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"Come here, go to Qianqing Palace and get my dragon-beating whip."

Zhu Houzhao was so frightened that he said with a wilted face: "Father, wait, I can't explain clearly, but Lao Gao will definitely be able to explain clearly. Let Lao Gao come, and when he finishes speaking, it won't be too late for Father to slap Erchen again."

He is lucky enough to know one person in this world who can turn black into white, that is Lao Gao!

This bitch, Lao Gao, lied to me and said that cutting down the tax authorities would lead to meritorious deeds, and he would do anything to support him.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is on duty.

Beside the door, a little eunuch looked in with a very familiar movement, as if he was looking for someone.

"Here it is." Yan Chengjin knew him, he was an old acquaintance.

The little eunuch said: "Master Yan, your Majesty declares you."

After leaving the duty room of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, Yan Chengjin took out a tael of silver from his sleeve: "What did your Majesty tell me to do?"

"It's the prince..."

Yan Chengjin came to the East Palace in confusion, and Zhu Houzhao took a knife to kill the tax supervisor. He was not surprised, but what surprised him was that He wanted to call him.

He saw Emperor Hongzhi standing in the palace calmly and majesticly, and saw Zhu Houzhao sending a distress signal.

This piece of shit Zhu Houzhao is a rip-off!

Yan Chengjin knelt down straight and said: "Your Majesty, Yan Chengjin, bows to your Majesty."

This boy is timid and cautious, so he cannot be intimidated, so as not to speculate on my intentions. Emperor Hongzhi showed a warm smile on his face: "Have you ever told the prince something about how you can achieve meritorious service by cutting down the tax inspector?"

Yan Chengjin thought about it carefully and considered it: "I said that I was just telling Lord Ma Wensheng that the prince happened to be nearby."

Emperor Hongzhi's face darkened, knowing that this was the case, so he picked up the dragon-beating whip and walked towards Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao woke up from a dream.

This bitch, Lao Gao, refuses to save me, and then cheats me...

Just listen to Yan Chengjin say: "I have some superficial opinions, I don't know whether to explain them or not."

Zhu Houzhao looked happy, and Lao Gao was still loyal sometimes.

Emperor Hongzhi raised his dragon whip, but suddenly paused, and said with a cold face: "You said, you are not allowed to plead for this traitor."

"Since the two tax supervisors are here, why not ask the factory guard to investigate and see what the results are. It won't be too late to punish the prince."

The tax inspectors in the world are generally black.

After taking the position of tax superintendent, an honest eunuch becomes a greedy one. An upright eunuch like Wynn is really an anomaly.

No need to check, Yan Chengjin is 60% sure that they are black, the difference is just big black or small black.

It was up to Emperor Hongzhi to decide whether it was safest to investigate or not.

Zhu Houzhao thought he was going to say something, but in the end he still wanted to beat him, and his face suddenly darkened.

Emperor Hongzhi saw the two tax supervisors trembling and threw away his whip: "Then let's check. When we find out, I will settle the account with you."

With Zhu Houzhao stunned, Emperor Hongzhi walked out of the hall.

You didn't even smoke me?

Zhu Houzhao danced and said: "Lao Gao, my father is in a good mood today and did not slap me."

Does your majesty look like he is in a good mood?

Yan Chengjin said nonchalantly: "Your majesty is taking advantage of the situation today. The prince wants to kill the eunuchs. If it gets out, it will be a disgrace. Prince, don't look at me with such admiring eyes. I am not your warrior, and I will not be in collusion with your highness. Your highness should give up the idea as soon as possible and stop targeting me."

"Lao Gao, what do you want to be my warrior? I will give you half of the country?" Zhu Houzhao bared his teeth.

Yan Chengjin was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat: "It's impossible. Your highness is always courting death. I am a person who loves life."

Zhu Houzhao looked at a loss: "What is courting death?"

"It's... a brave person."

Zhu Houzhao laughed: "I seem to like courting death."

The next day,

the factory guards turned out the assets of He Chang and Li Ding, the tax supervisors of Datong Mine, and found out the dirty things they hid.

Emperor Hongzhi was shocked and angry.

The prince's words really came true.

Such traitors who persist in evil are the culprits who bring disaster to the world. If they are not killed, there will be no peace and tranquility in the world.

He immediately ordered Mou Bin to take him to the imperial prison and execute him on a chosen day.

He did not praise Zhu Houzhao. In his opinion, Zhu Houzhao was just a blind cat that met a dead mouse and stepped on dog shit.

Zhu Houzhao was happy. His unfortunate prediction turned out to be true. He caught a corrupt official at random. He also sent warm invitations to some tax supervisors in the capital, which scared the tax supervisors who returned to Beijing and left the capital in a hurry.

In the past two days, the court received urgent reports.

The Duke of Ying returned to the court. Emperor Hongzhi ordered the Silijian to take charge of the preparations of various supervisors and welcome the returning soldiers in front of the Meridian Gate.

Thanks to the book friends Zi Buhan and Yong Nuan Shoubao for their rewards again. I ask for collection and recommendation tickets. Compared with the previous issues, the data is a bit too touching... Thank you everyone
