In the blink of an eye, three days passed. Although Zhu Yuanzhang was very concerned about Zhu An, he was not careless in national affairs.

Every three days, he went out of the palace and gathered with his grandson for a while, which became the most anticipated day Zhu Yuanzhang has recently.

Recently, the ministers in the court were surprised to find a rule that the morning court would go to court very quickly every three days.

And some ministers who were worried about court were surprised to find that in the past month, His Majesty's killing seemed to have decreased a lot.

Especially when I went to court recently, I occasionally smiled, which was incredible, and many ministers even felt dazzled.

I have to say that the ministers are relatively young nowadays. Although they are far apart, they can see clearly.

As for those ministers with relatively old qualifications, most of them were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang.

What Zhu Yuanzhang hated the most was corrupt officials. Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, anti-corruption has been Zhu Yuanzhang's key project.

According to statistics, from the founding of the first year of Hongwu to the 19th year of Hongwu, few officials from the thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty, from prefectures to counties were able to complete their duties.

Most of them were killed by Zhu Yuanzhang for corruption and bribery.

Being an official during the Hongwu period was not a happy thing. If you can retire safely, you really have to go home and burn three incense sticks, and say blessings from ancestors!

Originally, Zhu Yuanzhang decided to embezzle more than 60 taels of silver, which was the crime of beheading.

Later, the mistake was that he could not kill them all. After killing one group, the next group was still the same. Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and directly ordered:

In the future, corruption and bribery will no longer be restricted by 60 or 20, and will be directly punished for death.

Even though it is so strict, officials are still constantly embezzling, and fewer and fewer officials are.

Related historical records: In the 12th year of Hongwu, 364 officials were sent to the same wholesale list, all of whom were Jinshi students.

A year later, six people were executed, and the remaining 358 were sentenced to death and were in vain.

In other words, all those who have won the exam will be arrested.

Speaking of this crime of death and absenting the crime, it was definitely the first in the Ming Dynasty.

Just these two charges let you know how cruel Zhu Yuanzhang was.

Because there were too many officials killed, no one came to deal with the official duties in some places.

After all, with the conditions of ancient times, successors were not something that could be reached just by mentioning them, and they can be seen from later films and TV dramas.

If an official is executed, it usually takes a month or even several months from the time the next official is appointed to rush to taking office.

After Zhu Yuanzhang killed so many officials, the successor officials could not come at all.

It would be fine if there were a few places, but under normal circumstances there wouldn't be much trouble.

But if this happens across the country, the lack of grassroots officials will have problems with the operation of the entire Ming Dynasty.

When Zhu Yuanzhang saw this, he couldn't do it. After a change of mind, he invented two new charges.

The specific execution is that officials are sentenced to death, but in the first place they are not in a hurry to execute.

First, put dozens of large plates on them, and after applying the medicine, drag them to the prison and wait.

Who are you waiting for? Of course, you are waiting for the officials who come to office.

During this period, if there is any official business to be dealt with, take off your prison uniform, change into your official uniform, and go to do business first.

Many people who commit crimes pass by, but when they arrive at the yamen, they will find that the people sitting on it are like themselves, wearing shackles, and there are prison guards on both sides.

In addition to the different clothes and positions, he is also a prisoner.

This period of time is really a torment for officials. Don’t think about handling cases randomly. If they fail to do it, or they will cause any wrongful and wrong cases.

Sorry, the three tribes of Yi.

It depends on whether you dare to face each other. You were the only one who died, but now the whole family is neat.

If the case is handled well, will there be any reward?

What do you think? Isn’t doing things the responsibility you should do?

Such tormented days will be relieved after the next official arrives.

According to the earlier charges, those who should be executed shall be executed and those who should be exiled shall be exiled.

It is said that in some remote places, the officials convicted of death were not found, and the officials convicted of death continued to work for nearly ten years before they could survive until the next official took office and were relieved.

The ministers in the court don’t have to worry about these things. These two charges are generally directed at local officials. If the ministers in the court commit a crime, they will commit a crime.

During the court meeting, I was dragged out to behead my head, so there was no need to be such a problem. Anyway, there were many substitutes.

One month after Prince Yiwen passed away, the court was in a bloody storm and I had never done much of the ground outside the hall.

When officials went to court the next day, they often met with new people around them, and everyone got used to it.

Anyone who is still alive after going home will definitely celebrate with great celebration. No one knows whether he can come back intact after going to court the next day.

Being able to see the setting sun became the best wish in the hearts of the ministers.

This is the sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is near dusk.

However, in the past two months, Zhu Yuanzhang's killing has suddenly decreased significantly.

Even every now and then, the morning court almost ended in the morning.

The ministers were very curious, did Your Majesty change his nature?

But no one dares to inquire, that is simply a matter of thinking that he is long-lived and is in a hurry to die.

After Zhu Yunwen looked down at the court, he did not go to the imperial study room, but left the emperor's grandfather, with a trace of anxiety flashing deep in his eyes.

As for the current situation, Zhu Yunwen's position is a surefire, and his mother, Lu, are all advising him not to think too much.

Be yourself well, perform well, and do some of the things your Majesty has taught you.

But there was always a haze in Zhu Yunwen's heart that couldn't get rid of.

"Grandpa Emperor has become less and less close to me recently. I can't continue like this. I have to think of a way."

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Yunwen did not go directly to the Eastern Palace, but went to the mother of the harem.

Obviously, the mother knows more about how to compete for favor.

...........

Ping An Teahouse on the Qinhuai border.

"Da Sun, what's wrong with you? Why do you look sad? Have you encountered some difficult things? Tell us?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was eating breakfast and keenly discovered that although Zhu An also smiled, he felt like he was forced to smile, so he asked.

"How can you do anything? Master, you have thought too much, eat breakfast."

Zhu An casually wanted to fool him. As far as the current Ming Dynasty was concerned, it was not something that could be done with money.

If a business registration is established, he will be a business registration for the rest of his life. If someone dares to change his household registration privately, once he is investigated, it will definitely be a crime of beheading.

Moreover, the household registration matter is too obvious, and anyone with a heart can discover it.

At this point, no amount of money can be given, it will be of no use.

But if you cannot change your household registration, then Zhu An is destined to have to meet Ye Wanqing in linen clothes.

Especially on a bustling and important festival like the Chinese Valentine's Day.

"Our eyes are bright. There is something hidden in your heart. Tell me, what's going on? Can we say anything else to say with our grandpa?"

How could Zhu Yuanzhang be so smart? How could he fool him in just a few words, put down the breakfast in his hand, and ask afterwards.

Zhu An is still quite close to Mr. Huang.

As a businessman, no matter how much money he has, he can be looked down upon by a civilian.

Mr. Huang has never had any grudges about his identity as a businessman, although it is an important factor to look like his dead son.

But Zhu An could clearly feel Mr. Huang’s sincerity towards him.
