Chapter 104 Beizhen Fusi

Zhu Cilang is just a crown prince, although he is less than one person than ten thousand. But if he wants to move a court official rashly, the emperor still has to nod.

Chongzhen was stunned: "Chai Deyou, the head of the Ministry of Personnel, what did he do?"

Zhu Cilang said coldly: "When this person was appointed as the county magistrate in Luanping, he made a lot of money, plundered the people's wealth, and killed the people unjustly. Erchen met first-class bandits on the way to Liaodong. Her husband was forced to death by Chai Deyou, so he had no choice but to fall on the mountain. Erchen had already incorporated this person into the Eastern Palace Guard. Erchen promised her that after returning to Beijing, she would preside over justice for her."

Chongzhen frowned: "Chai Deyou, this person has never had any serious mistakes during his tenure. Can this matter be taken seriously?"

"My son will find out."

Chongzhen nodded and did not ask again.

Zhu Cixuan continued to ask, "Father, if you find out this person, what should you do?"

Chongzhen was also ruthless about this kind of thing: "Skinned daylily to serve as a warning to others!"

The head of the Ministry of Personnel, Chai Deyou, was appointed as the county magistrate of Luanping County in the third year of Chongzhen. The female turtledo Han Sanniang, and her husband Wang Dachun was arrested and beaten to death by people in the yamen just because he owed 80 yuan of rent. The culprit was Chai Deyou.

Chongzhen asked Zhu Cixuan about some matters in Liaodong, and Zhu Cixuan answered one by one. What shocked Emperor Chongzhen was that Hong Chengchou's memorial did not exaggerate it. To say that the victory in Yizhou was completely dominated by his son.

"Emperor, how did you know that Huang Taiji would go to Yizhou, and how did you make this red cannon and flowering bullet? How could you know that you would definitely defeat him when facing Jiannu? If you were defeated, wouldn't it be dangerous?"

A series of question marks made Zhu Cilang really not know how to answer. He was stunned for a moment, but did not answer all Chongzhen's questions, but said lightly: "The son is the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty. Our Ming Dynasty does not have a retreating crown prince. The son is not sure to defeat Huangtai. However, the affairs in Liaodong are unfair, and the capital will be in peace."

Chongzhen was very moved. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty might be very strange. But they have always been very backbone. The emperor guards the country and the king dies in the country. It is impossible to seek peace, vassal, cede land, and make compensation.

Zhu Cilang was so tough at such a young age. Emperor Chongzhen was very pleased: "I understand."

"Father, please issue an order to reduce the tax." Zhu Cilang suddenly said.

Chongzhen was stunned: "What, what?"

"The tax is reduced, only by reducing tax can we live in the people. Only by reducing tax can we make it difficult for these rebels to become a climate. People have land and food to eat, but no one will rebel."

This seems to be a problem for a three-year-old child. Chongzhen certainly knows the pros and cons of this. But once the tax is reduced, how will the country's huge machine operate?

The national treasury is empty and has already come to an end. The little money I get now is just the last sacrificial sacrifice for the dying person. Corrupt officials will always be killed one day. Besides, too many corrupt officials investigated will easily cause turmoil in the court.

Zhu Cilang only touched Wei Zaode and three others, and did not dare to attack other dog officials, because he was afraid of pulling his whole body. In the end, he had no choice but to push the father-in-law Zhou Kui and fleece from the sheep. Zhou Kui was dying of ecstasy.

Emperor Chongzhen sighed, and he touched Zhu Cilang's head: "I have my difficulties. When you grow up, you can take my seat and reduce the taxes for the people. I have done this evil man, and you must be a benevolent and virtuous king in the future."

Zhu Cilang wanted to say something, but looking at Chongzhen with a haggard face, he finally said nothing. He originally wanted to leave the money to me, but now he has not yet made a single word of his horoscope. It is indeed too early to ask his father to reduce his tuition at this time.

Chongzhen was in his prime, but his temples had gray hair. Zhu Cilang felt ache in his heart and hurriedly changed the topic: "Father, let's make more flowering bullets, so Jiannu will not dare to spy on Liaodong."

Chongzhen's thoughts seemed not to be here, and he even forgot to ask Zhu Cilang how the flowering bullet was made. He just touched Zhu Cilang's head and said with a loving look: "I still have some government affairs to deal with. Go back to your mother's place. This time my child's illness is thanks to you."

Zhu Cixuan did not return to Ganning Palace, but went to the Northern Town Fushi. Qianhu Xia Dechao and Li Hao made great contributions in Liaodong and also won glory for the Jinyiwei.

Luo Yangxing also had face on his face. When he saw Zhu Cilang coming, he couldn't help but feel happy: "Your Highness, the prince, the emperor has touched all the officials in the city as you told him. It doesn't matter if he doesn't check it, but it's really shocking. There are very few officials in the entire Beijing city with clean butts. If you really want to catch them, you can't escape."

When he went to Liaodong, Zhu Cilang had already ordered Luo Yangxing to keep an eye on the officials in the capital. He collected evidence of their corruption and abuse of power, but he should not alert the enemy. When the palace comes back, he will make a decision.

I have to say that the Jinyiwei's work efficiency is indeed efficient. In order to show himself well in front of the prince, Luo Yangxing can be said to have worked hard. Fortunately, things were finally done well. After this investigation, he was shocked.

The income from the embezzlement of the corruption among the officials in the capital was enough to support the income of the treasury for more than ten years. This was an extremely terrifying number. After listening to Luo Yangxing's report, Zhu Cilang moderately expressed his satisfaction.

"Very good, Luo Yangxing, please check this palace. What are the handles of Chai Deyou, the head of the Ministry of Personnel?

Luo Yangxing was stunned. Why did His Royal Highness the Crown Prince not check those corruption when he came back? He was just concerned about a small head of the Ministry of Personnel. He regretted that he did not do enough of his homework: "This, the official needs to check the records."

Zhu Cilang nodded: "As soon as possible."

So, the Beizhen Fushi quickly took action. From the information they collected, they quickly found this file about Chai Deyou.

A hundred households found the file, and Luo Yangxing hurriedly took it to Zhu Cilang: "Your Highness, please read it, this is Chai Deyou's file."

In the Ming Dynasty, the rank of the head officials was promoted from the seventh rank to the sixth rank, and was officially ranked as the sixth rank officials with the doctor and the outside minister. In the Ming Dynasty, the head officials were not only listed as officials, but also often had real power in the department officials. The magistrate of the outside officials was proud to be promoted to the head officials within.

And this Chai Deyou was promoted from the magistrate of Luanping County. However, a small sixth-rank official, Zhu Cixuan, found no evidence of excessive corruption from his file.

Luo Yang was also secretly strange. The Jinyiwei was too lazy to worry about checking a small official. The file was nothing more than some trivial records. I don’t know why His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was only worried about this person.
