Chapter 474 Simple tasks are not easy

"Dad wants to hear your opinion on today's matter."

The two fathers and sons walked side by side, and Zhu Houzhao whispered to Zhu Qiyuan. He looked majestic in every gesture, but there was no trace of anger in him.

The purpose of unleashing a furious rage in the court is to teach the officials an unforgettable lesson and make them remember deeply that even if he rarely takes care of things now, it is not their turn to act recklessly.

In front of his son, there is no need to pretend. After all, he has never seen anything bad along the way. If he gets angry at anything, he should be angry to death.

Life is like a play, it all depends on acting!

"Dad, are you not angry anymore?"

Looking at his biological father who could change his face faster than turning the pages of a book, Zhu Qiyuan didn't even turn around for a moment.

He was furious in the court, but when he turned around he looked calm. He really couldn't see which side was the real Zhu Houzhao.

"Angry, there is nothing to be angry about. Your father and I have been constantly scheming with others since I ascended the throne. How can I lose my composure over these two things that are not big or small? They are all just pretense.

"

The prodigal son only cares about being free and happy, while the person in power has to consider all aspects.

"Spend some money to do some research, and if it succeeds, then Shi Xingfeng probably took bribes before he dared to make such nonsense. After all, the salary of a small Tongwenguan director is far less than that of officials in the six departments and three academies."

Zhu Qiyuan nodded as if he understood. He had often wandered around the world in the past, and his thinking had not completely changed from a prodigal to a superior.

"Ministers can die. There are countless people in the world. There are so many people who want to be officials and those who can be officials. Just kill a few of them and then find someone to take over."

"Those students from various dynasties who came to study in this dynasty and were accustomed to the romantic atmosphere did not adapt to the customs of this dynasty, and it was expected that they intended to change the policy of this dynasty towards literati students."

After a court meeting, a big earthquake broke out in the officialdom!

At this moment, Zhu Qiyuan seemed to have learned from Zhu Houzhao. He analyzed the problem from different angles. He did not say it was an in-depth analysis, but he also talked about the ideas, which made Zhu Houzhao look at him with admiration.

In the past, Zhu Qiyuan was uninhibited and always had endless troubles. He had headaches and was helpless.

"He is your father's teacher and mine. Asking him for advice on how to govern the country will be of great benefit to you in the future."

"In other dynasties, there were many preferential treatment policies for the literati group, but in this dynasty, the best preferential treatment is free admission. The other preferential treatment is not only absent, but also has various restrictions."

"The military is the backbone of a country, and military morale is particularly important."

"The students in his dynasty have it, but the students in my dynasty don't have it, so it's inevitable that I feel unbalanced."

"In this way, Shi Xingfeng, students from all dynasties, and students from this dynasty will all benefit."

Zhu Houzhao gave Zhu Qiyuan an appreciative look: "You have made progress by being able to see problems from different angles!"

My son is already married, so it would be somewhat inappropriate to live in the Leopard Room.

Zhu Houzhao warned that he chose the eldest grandson Wugou as Zhu Qiyuan's wife from a thousand choices, because he wanted the eldest grandson Wugou to be Zhu Qiyuan's right-hand man, not just to be displayed as a vase.

"I see."

"The most important thing at the moment is to appease the families of the soldiers who died in the war and express to the millions of soldiers across the country that the court attaches great importance to them. Even if they die on the battlefield, the court will not ignore their families."

Zhu Houzhao looked into the distance and sighed silently in his heart, hoping that Li Dongyang would not disappoint him and not follow some people who were ready to move and touch his bottom line.

"Three-legged toads are hard to find. People with two legs are everywhere. Don't take officials too seriously."

Zhu Qiyuan responded, it would be nice if he could go out for a walk. Anyway, he was disgusted with following Zhu Houzhao's boring review of memorials.

"What about officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs embezzling pension funds?"

"If you have anything to discuss, discuss it with your wife. She sees things more clearly than you."

"Wang Mang's usurpation of the Han Dynasty and Chen Qiao's mutiny all occurred when the emperor's majesty was completely lost."

"Yes, the reason is not important. It is just to clean up a group of officials who have become corrupt over time."

"You are absolutely right. Shi Xingfeng's monstrous words confuse the public. It seems to be the words of one family, but in fact there are several forces behind it."

"If we follow Shi Xingfeng's suggestion and improve the treatment of students from other dynasties, students from our dynasty will inevitably follow suit, and someone will definitely take advantage of the situation and propose restoring the old system."

Zhu Qiyuan thought for a while and said solemnly: "The reason for this matter is not important. What is important is to give an explanation to the families of the soldiers who died in the battle."

After explaining the matter, Zhu Houzhao returned to the Leopard Room, and Zhu Qiyuan returned to his Prince Jing's Mansion.

"And here, there are students from this dynasty who are adding fuel to the flames. In other dynasties, as long as you become a civil servant, you will have various welfare benefits. In this dynasty, they also had it, but you canceled it."

"Tell me what you think."

"And military morale cannot be lost no matter what. If military morale is messed up, it will be even more difficult to reintegrate."

Affected by Shi Xingfeng, hundreds of associations suffered a major purge. Since Yang Shen's reign, most officials were investigated, and only a small number of clean and honest people were spared.

As the beginning of the storm, Shi Xingfeng's home was immediately confiscated, and his entire family was sent to the border to open up no man's land. However, he himself was sent to the Dark Feather Star to mine, and he lived a life that was worse than death from then on.

Zhu Qiyuan raised his eyebrows slightly. He always felt that there was something behind Zhu Houzhao's words, and his purpose was by no means as simple as it seemed, but he couldn't tell what the blame was, so he could only accept this seemingly simple task.

Zhu Houzhao smiled, very heartily. His son, who had given him a headache since he was a child, had finally matured. He patted Zhu Qiyuan on the shoulder and said with great satisfaction:

After a pause, he continued: "In this way, you can take some time in the future to personally express your condolences to the families of the soldiers whose pensions have been embezzled."

"That man was in the court just now."

He has killed enough people in his life, and he doesn't want to get his teacher's blood on his hands again.

Zhu Hou looked at this silly son and said meaningfully: "The emperor's majesty needs to be maintained. If we let it go and wait for the officials to forget the emperor's majesty, then things will be in trouble."

"Shi Xingfeng's monstrous words confuse the public. My son thinks it has something to do with the literati culture of other dynasties."

Men, for the first time in their lives, they inevitably learn the taste by eating the marrow.

"After that, you will go to Chaling, Huguang, to visit Mr. Li Dongyang of Dongyang Academy."

Go visit your dad’s teacher!

Moreover, he and his eldest grandson Wugao were newly married, and Zhu Houzhao took him to learn how to deal with government affairs, so he felt that he had neglected his beloved wife.

Zhu Houzhao said calmly.

Hundreds of associations were investigated, Shi Xingfeng had a disastrous end, and the six departments and three hospitals were not much better, causing a lot of trouble.

Shi Xingfeng's monstrous words confuse the public, and the Ministry of Revenue officials embezzling pension funds are nothing. He has seen many more abominable things than this.

This is the first time that he is satisfied with Zhu Qiyuan.

Zhu Houzhao deliberately tested Zhu Qiyuan's overall view.

Jinyiwei launched a thorough investigation into the case of pension embezzlement. In just seven days, a large number of people involved in the case were arrested. Excluding those outside the imperial court, there were more than a hundred officials alone.

From the central government to local officials, their official positions may be high or low, but without exception, they will all face a miserable future.

This was the first large-scale purge since the collapse of the civil service group, scaring countless officials to stay up all night, fearing that they would be implicated.

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao just wanted to scare the officials, not to start a general purge. After arresting all those involved, he ordered the Jinyiwei to stop. For a long time after that, the officials were still on tenterhooks.

I went home today, so I updated it in advance so that I wouldn’t forget it if I fell asleep in the car!
