Ming Dynasty: My father Yongle, Forever Reigns Over Mountains and Rivers

Outside the Meridian Gate.

The faces of all the court officials were very ugly.

They also learned about the rebellion of the White Lotus Demon Sect in Shandong!

But this news has been suppressed until now, and the White Lotus Demon Sect is about to sweep the entire Shandong land!

The face of the Minister of Civil Affairs was gloomy, and it could be said that he was really angry in a rare way.

Xia Yuanji, the Minister of Household Affairs, also looked very good, with an old face as gloomy as water.

Yizhi, what are your officials doing?

The Ministry of Personnel is responsible for the inspection and planning of the capital. It takes the first exam in three years, the second exam in six years, and the nine-year comprehensive exam!

How come people like Chu Gui and Zhang Hai can still hold high positions and cause harm to the country and the people?

Faced with Xia Yuanji's accusation, Jian Yi fell silent and did not say a word.

But he remained silent, and Xia Yuanji was not ready to let him go.

After all, this matter is too serious!

It was because of the concealment of Chu Gai, Zhang Hai and others that the White Lotus Demon Cult swept the entire Shandong region.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, nothing so ridiculous has ever happened!

That’s quite a province!

This was enough to shake the country of the Ming Dynasty!

And Xia Yuanji is even more worried about one thing now, and that is whether His Majesty the Emperor and His Highness the Crown Prince will take back their financial power!

You must know that the royal family is preparing to hand over the financial power to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Starting next year, the Ministry of Household Affairs will be responsible for collecting agricultural taxes and salt taxes, all of which will be used to develop people's livelihood and subsidize the people. No one is allowed to interfere without reason, even the Ming Emperor!

Xia Yuanji also made several planning documents for this purpose, preparing to make great efforts next year to let the people live a good life.

But who could have imagined that at this last critical moment, such a big thing would happen in Shandong!

His Majesty the Emperor and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would definitely be furious, followed by doubts and distrust of these officials and gentry!

Whether the royal family will still hand over financial power is unknown!

So Xia Yuanji was very angry and didn't even give Jian Yi any kindness.

This is like Xia Yuanji, who is confident that he can be a super god, but these pig teammates keep holding him back!

Jian Yi couldn't help but get angry when he heard Xia Yuanji's endless scolding.

enough!

I'm guilty!

I'm taking the blame and resigning. Are you satisfied?

Jian Yi was already in a bad mood, but now being scolded by Xia Yuanji added fuel to the fire, and he was about to give up the job.

Even Xia Yuanji was a little confused at the moment, and then he smiled and comforted him with a few words.

At this time, the Meridian Gate opened wide, and the officials filed in.

Morning starts.

However, in today's morning court, some people are destined to be unlucky.

Before the various temple supervisors could report on various important tasks as usual, Prince Zhu Gaoxu began to roll call with a cold face.

Where is Jian Yi, the official minister?

I'm here!

Jian Yi walked out tremblingly, his mood extremely complicated.

He knew very well that he was probably going to die this time.

Chu Li, Zhang Hai and even hundreds of officials throughout Shandong committed such a serious crime. It is natural that the officials in charge of other departments should be punished and dismissed!

Jian Yi, let me ask you something right now. How did a foolish and short-sighted person like Chu Gao get to be the chief envoy of a province? Or is there someone behind him, who helped him? Is the governor rising to the top and holding a high position of power?

Hearing the prince's heart-wrenching words, Jian Yi sighed in his heart.

Reporting to Your Highness, Chu Rui was born in Sui Gong. He has served as an official for a long time and is experienced in handling affairs. During the Hongwu period, he held various positions and was promoted to Shandong Zuobu Envoy!

Oh? Listen to what you say, this governor is still a capable official? Do you want to listen to what you are saying?!

Zhu Gaoxu suddenly shouted, frightening many courtiers to tremble.

According to the evidence of Gu Zuo, the imperial censor of Zuodu, this prince had traveled to Qilu during the Hongwu period and was well aware that the White Lotus Sect was spreading widely throughout Shandong. However, instead of reporting it to the imperial court and alerting the imperial court, he actually joined in and even participated in it. I learned some of the 'secret sayings' in the religion, so I thought I had mastered the method of breaking the religion!

When he took office as the governor of Shandong Province, he saw that the local religious practice was very popular and the public sentiment was turbulent. However, he still did not choose to report it to the court. Instead, he continued to follow his own method of destroying the religion, fearing that excessive restrictions would cause chaos, and took What kind of policy of 'warming the face and caressing the skin'!

His policy is good. The main purpose is to fight against someone who knows something but refuses to report it. The White Lotus Demon Sect in Shandong is widely spreading but he knows it but refuses to report it. The demon girl Tang Saier preached in Putai, Yidu, Zhucheng, Anqiu, Juzhou, Shandong. In Jimo, Shouguang and other prefectures and counties, poor farmers were the first to believe in it, but he also knew it and did not report it!

Even if the traitor Dong Yangao and others under the demon girl Tang Sai'er gathered more than 2,000 people and carried out robberies and killings under the banner of red and white flags. Sun Gong and others from thousands of households in Juzhou went to appease and kill their followers. The situation was so rampant that he still knew about it. Instead of reporting it, he sent a message to Qingzhou Guard Commander Gao Feng to lead troops to encircle and suppress him!

But what's the result? Gao Feng is dead. He underestimated the enemy and invaded the three armies. Not only was he defeated and killed, but the entire Qingzhou Guard suffered heavy casualties. As a result, the demon girl Tang Sai'er became famous, and the common people had countless followers. The White Lotus Demon Sect took advantage of the situation. Sweeping the entire Shandong land!

This is the talented official you talk about!

Hearing what the prince said, the civil and military officials in the court were in an uproar.

It was the first time for many of them to hear this shocking news, and they even panicked for a while. UU reading www.uukaｎshu.net

After all, this matter is too big!

The White Lotus Demon Cult is raging throughout Shandong!

Such bad things have never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty!

What do the officials and the procuratorate do?

How could a foolish and short-sighted person like Chu Lai be allowed to occupy a high position?

No wonder the Crown Prince was so angry and asked the Lord Heavenly Official directly!

All the courtiers' eyes were focused on Tianguan Jianyi at this moment.

Jian Yi felt these gazes, and he seemed to have aged ten years, and he buried his head deeply.

Your Majesty, Your Highness the Crown Prince, I am a traitor who caused harm to the country and the people because of my ignorance of the people I know. Please forgive me!

Jian Yi, the Minister of Civil Affairs, took the initiative to plead guilty!

Zhu Di glanced at this talented official and did not answer.

In today's court meeting, the protagonist is not him, but Prince Zhu Gaoxu.

The father and son had discussed it before going to court. One would be a good person and the other a bad person. They would take advantage of the Shandong White Lotus Demon Cult to cause chaos and take good care of these gentry and gentry.

Excuse me?

Can asking for forgiveness solve the problem?

You, Jian Yi, are also a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years!

Don't you understand this?

After hearing the prince's scolding, Jian Yi lowered his head.

I'm telling you, the White Lotus Demon Cult is not only sweeping the entire Shandong land, but after the demon girl Tang Sai'er killed Gao Feng, she immediately led her troops to Qingzhou at night, and then used a bamboo pole to carry Gao Feng and others' heads to the guards. The people of the city watched, so thousands of people in the city shouted, rushed to the city gate, broke the locks and keys, and rushed out, kowtow to Tang Sai'er to enter the city. Tang Sai'er then took over the land of Qingzhou, strictly issued military orders, and issued orders to calm the people. And appoint new officials...

You tell me what the White Lotus Demon Sect wants to do?

They want to establish a country!
