Although Zhu Yunzhang's residence was nominally in the East Palace, it had now been moved to the side hall of Fengtian Hall. And Zhu Yuanzhang's chambers, a wall away. The Emperor's cultivation and favor for the King of Wu was thus evident.

The imperial case was piled high with zhang folds, Zhu Yuanzhang read carefully by candlelight, sometimes frowning, sometimes sighing, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes with a smile on his face. Being an emperor was never an easy job.

Five steps away from the emperor, Zhu Yun Yun sat on his desk carefully reviewing his coursework. After the court meeting dispersed, Fang Xiaoru sent over the scripture lectures that he had left behind these days and repeatedly urged Zhu Yunyun to study well.

At the moment, Zhu Yunyun hands read, are Fang Xiao Ru with neat small regular one stroke written out of the coursework, which is obscure and difficult to understand the place, there are detailed markings.

Most of the coursework is the Confucian theories of Confucius, for Zhu Yunyun in his previous life participated in the national education class, it is not too difficult. It was just that in these coursework, there were only the ideas of Confucius, not the claims of Mencius.

For Mencius, the mood of the rulers of all dynasties is very subtle, both to use the heart and in hate. Because in the view of the rulers, there are many things in the thought of Mencius that have no ruler and no father.

Zhu Yuanzhang then never hid the disgust of Mencius, directly Mengzi from the generations of the first teacher out. And privately said, this old man if live now, the old man must be a knife in the head.

In addition to Confucianism lectures, there are more difficult to understand, set of dynasties and dynasties of intrigue and power tactics as one of the Zizhi Tongjian and a variety of history books coursework.

History as a lesson, reading history can know the rise and fall, can see the future.

Other okay, but these history books, Zhu Yun Yun read up a little bit strenuous. Ancient people talk about words like gold, in the writings of a word, often has many different meanings.

He was biting the tip of his pen and exerting himself on his coursework when he suddenly realized that the light in front of him dimmed, and at some point, Zhu Yuanzhang had already walked up to him, looking at him with a smile on his face.

"Imperial grandfather!"

"The fire is a bit brighter to see clearly, don't get so close to the books, be careful of looking at your eyes." Zhu Yuanzhang casually picked up the copper bar on the table and removed those impurities left from burning in the thick candle flame, which was suddenly bright.

Then, thoughtfully said, "A country is like this candle, if you want it to be bright, you have to remove the excess waste."

Said, and waved his hand, "come move a stool to the side of grandpa, help grandpa look at the zhangzuo!"

Zhu Yuanzhang likes quiet and does not like noise, so there is Zhu Yunzhang in the time, the master and the two around no palace waiting, Zhu Yunzhang moved a round stool, sat on the side of Zhu Yuanzhang dragon chair.

For some reason, the first time so close to the chair that represents the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yunzhang's heart, thumping hard.

A stack of different from ordinary zhang folders, blue-colored zhang folders placed in front of Zhu Yunzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Look at this." With that, he said to the corner, "Blind? Hurry up and bring the King of Wu honey water!"

The eunuch in the corner went down noiselessly, and came back again with a bowl of warm water tempered with honey on a tray in his hand.

"It took half a day to learn to bother, right!" Zhu Yuanzhang hand over, put it down and laughed, "Tea that thing, you young people can't drink more, drink some honey water!"

Zhu Yunzhang heart touched, at this moment Zhu Yuanzhang like once his grandfather in later life, the fear of his grandson reading and learning to see the eyes of the kindly old man.

Unbeknownst to him, his grandson pretended to be reading books, hidden underneath the textbooks were cartoons and.

"Royal grandfather, grandson is an adult!" Zhu Yun Yun said softly.

"How old are you, in our hearts, you are still a child!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "See!"

This is the old man of the world, the most commonly said sentence.

Zhu Yunzhang nodded his head and turned over the folders, but the first glance made his heart skip a beat.

You could be reading stolen content. Head to the original site for the genuine story.

"Minister, Jin Yiwei Wuchang Commanding Officer Zhao Guang Shangzuo, Chu Wang Palace more lawlessness, the king is good beauty, its palace officials in Jiangnan Yangzhou and other places, to buy Yangzhou thin horses. The king's palace is full of music and song night after night ......"

This is not a zhangbiao of the minister, but the zhangbiao of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes and ears, monitoring the world's jinyiwei. And this first zhangbiao is the brocade guards reporting on the local feudal lords with the emperor.

"Keep reading, don't get distracted!" Zhu Yuanzhang took a sip of tea, picked up a zhangbiao, and said while reading.

"Extravagance in the palace has become a trend, the king of Chu for the beauty of the monthly silver spent surprisingly up to tens of thousands of taels, in addition to this, the king of Chu captive theater musicians ......."

Reading here, Zhu Yunzhang gulped a mouthful of saliva, the King of Chu is going to be unlucky.

Chu Wang is Zhu Yuanzhang's sixth son, fiefdom in the north and south, Wuchang.

Wuchang is not only the transportation hub military town, but also a developed and prosperous place of trade, sealed there Zhu Yuanzhang see the importance of this son. But this son, is dim. He offended Zhu Yuanzhang's most taboo thing, that is, luxury.

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded quietly, "Your sixth uncle was young and followed the army to fight in the north and south, and made a lot of achievements. But when he got older, the more he lived, the more he went back and started to do nothing." Saying this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Yunyun, "Da Sun, you say, what should be done?"

This is a test of himself, and it is a test that involves the flesh and blood of the Zhu family's closest relatives.

Zhu Yunzhang's brain quickly pondered, slowly opened his mouth, "If you let the grandson deal with it, the grandson thought, lift it high, put it down gently, let the sixth uncle know that he is wrong, know that he is afraid of it, it's good!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yunzhang for a moment and guffawed, "This is very good!"

Zhu Yunzhang was relieved in his heart, just now Zhu Yuanzhang said, what should be done with the great grandson? The implied line should be, what should be done with Da Sun if he is the emperor?

For the emperor, a vassal king who eats, drinks, and enjoys himself is definitely better than a vassal king who secretly accumulates power, recruits troops, buys horses, and befriends ministers with an insubordinate heart. But at the same time, for the family style, Chu Wang's luxury and enjoyment is also not desirable.

In this regard, lift him up high to let him know that he is afraid and that he is wrong. Then gently put down, a little punishment but not too much to pursue, but also bound to let the vassal king grateful.

This test is over, Zhu Yuanzhang got a satisfactory answer. But he did not know is that Zhu Yun Yun is to cater to him to say so.

If Zhu Yunzhang really became the emperor, I am afraid that he will also be like the history of Zhu Yunzhu, the implementation of cutting the clan.

It's right to cut the clan, but it's wrong that Zhu Yunzhu is too useless. Not to mention the fact that the feudal lords of the Ming Dynasty now have their own armies, and are no different from the Son of Heaven in their own fiefdoms.

A hundred years later, the feudal kings of the huge Zhu's descendants, will also become the country's most serious financial burden.

For almost three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the feudal lords had been the biggest financial headache for the central government. The most fertile land in the world, the most wealth are concentrated in the hands of these feudal lords, resulting in the final state can not even take out the money for national defense spending.

However, there was a difference between Zhu Yunhu's cutting of clans and Zhu Yunhu's. Zhu Yunhu hated the idea of cutting off the clans. Zhu Yunhuai hated to put his uncles in captivity. And Zhu Yunzhu has a vision beyond the times, the world is everywhere in the unowned land, and the Ming army is in full swing, let them go out to rob, let them go out to fight, as long as the scourge is not in the land of China is good.

After reading this zhangbiao, picked up another one, the content of the above is even more shocking.

"Minister, Luoyang Jinyiwei commanding officer to play, Luoyang governor Qian Shouyi and grain merchants secretly collusion, selling granary storage grain 30,000 stone, the proceeds of silver as much as hidden in the home of his wife and brother. Qian's wife and brother are the most greedy, the family mansion servants like clouds, the countryside trickery good land countless ......."

"Say, how to deal with it!" Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again.

Zhu Yunzhang was indignant in his heart, thirty thousand stones of grain was nearly four hundred thousand pounds. The court's reserve of grain in Luoyang was used for the relief of the victims in defense of Henan's successive years of flooding. These officials are really black-hearted, for the sake of silver, even the people's life-saving food dare to sell.

"Kill!" Zhu Yunyun spat out a word through his teeth, "Da Lisi, Inspectorate, Ministry of Justice, three divisions will be tried. Such a big case, Luoyang governor is afraid that one person is difficult to do, the grandson wants to Luoyang House up and down the officials are afraid of a nest are rotten!"

"The three divisions will try the case, involving who to arrest and who to kill. Whether it's the officials or those black-hearted merchants, Ming Zheng typically notifies the world and recovers the trafficked court reserve grain to correct the law of the land."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiles, "No more?"

Zhu Yunzhang thinks about it, "Imperial grandfather, is it not proper to dispose of it like this?"

"Proper is proper, but too light!" Zhu Yuanzhang puts down the folders in his hand and sneers, "These corrupt officials, killing them is too cheap. The officials involved in this case are all confiscated family assets, wives and daughters as slaves. The local government curtilage in the case, the children and grandchildren of the family for generations are not allowed to participate in the imperial examinations, are not allowed to work in agriculture, are not allowed to work in the labor force."

Said, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression slightly grim, "they are not greedy? Let's send the descendants of these corrupt officials of theirs to the eighteen layers of hell, never to be allowed to transcend their lives, and to manipulate the pariah industry for generations, not even counting them as human beings!"

There are emperors, officials, people, and the lowest of the low are the untouchables.

These people were the most reviled and despised, and the group with the least hope of ever being able to turn over a new leaf.

No one cares if they live or die. For example, if a person sues a businessman in a lawsuit, the magistrate will take the person's side.

But these pariahs, no matter what they have suffered, can not even enter the court. And wives and daughters filled into the Church Department, that Church Department is the official prostitute.

"Is not think we dispose of hard?" Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhu Yunzhang a little froze, smiled and asked.

"Grandchildren do not dare!"

"You this child is still too good heart, have not experienced the evil of the world!" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "If you have seen the people waiting to be fed, no door to help miserable starvation, will understand that we deal with, or too light." Said, sighed, "your great-grandfather, great-grandmother, great-grandfather are also starved to death."

Subsequently, a finger tapping on the desktop, positively said, "Big Sun, remember, when the emperor is to be the master of the world, when the emperor, the heart must be ruthless!"

"Grandson honors that!" Although there may be some disagreement in his heart, Zhu Yunyun could understand.

The rule of officials is something that really can not be slackened, Zhu Yuanzhang so hate corrupt officials in the reign of the emperor there are people who dare to disregard the livelihood of the people to corruption. If it were a kinder monarch, those officials would be more or less unrestrained.

The late Ming Dynasty is an example. The cabinet ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all rich and wealthy. Collusion between business and the government abounded among the middle and lower class officials who took advantage of their privileges.

No they do not dare to embezzle, and even when Nurhachu in Liaodong rise, the court to the border army pay money and grain dare to swallow, the name of the loss of drifting no. 10,000 taels of silver.

Ten thousand taels of silver pay, to the hands of the border generals only three thousand taels, ten thousand pounds of food, to the border only three thousand pounds, but also are mixed with sand and mud of poor quality food.

It is strange to be able to win the war!

"Tomorrow morning, you receive Jiang Scepter, the Commander of the Jinyiwei, and personally supervise this case." Zhu Yuanzhang patted Zhu Yunzhang, "Murder, it's your grandfather's intention, learn the key to it!"
