Qianqing Palace, side hall.

Zhu Gaoxu and the prince sat on the small bench, one on the left and one on the right, with a dragon chair in the middle.

Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi and other six ministers, as well as Huang Huai, Yang Shiqi and other cabinet members are all here.

Today is the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow will be the thirtieth day of the twelfth lunar month.

According to the rules of the imperial court, these officials should take a break immediately and go home to celebrate the New Year.

But at the moment, all the major projects in the imperial court are in progress, and the emperor is far away in Peiping. Even if everyone is eager to return home, they really don't dare to take the initiative to speak out.

Zhu Gaoxu glanced at the ministers, then at the prince, and said calmly: "Although the New Year is coming soon, some things must be arranged properly and prepared for the coming spring."

"Xia Yuanji, Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, although the new salt law has been implemented and the court has made a lot of money, follow-up work must be followed up to ensure that those local salt merchants can obtain salt nearby, and we cannot lose the credibility of the court."

Lao Xia Tou immediately expressed his stance, patting his chest and making a guarantee.

Just kidding, this new salt law can now be said to be the imperial court's biggest financial source and Lao Xia Tou's most important project.

If someone dares to destroy the new salt law for his own selfish interests, Xia Yuanji will definitely fight this person to the death!

Xia Yuanji can die, but the Ministry of Revenue cannot live without money!

Seeing the cute look of old Xia Tou who was asking for money rather than his life, Zhu Gaoxu and others laughed and said nothing.

Prince Han immediately turned his head and looked at Gu Zuo, the censor of Zuodu, who had a serious look on his face.

"Gu Penzi, it's time for you and the Procuratorate to get ready. The huge profits from salt are known to the world. We have cut off some people's financial resources, and they will never sit back and wait for death!"

"As soon as the Spring Festival is over, the new salt will be officially launched. By then, all the people of Ming Dynasty will be able to eat refined salt. This is a great achievement that will be famous throughout the ages. I don't want anyone to destroy it. You should understand my intention. mean!"

When Gu Zuo heard the word "troll", he was so angry that he almost jumped up and punched the thief.

It was because the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, a thief, publicly slandered him, Gu Zuo, as the world's best troll, which led to Gu's reputation as a troll spreading like wildfire. He was almost known to everyone in the government and the public, and he became a household name!

Nowadays, everyone who meets him is polite. Even when his subordinates report to him, they do so in a business-like manner, without even a hint of politeness.

In other words, he was isolated.

Many people even think that he, Gu Zuo, is a member of the Han Dynasty Party and a confidant of Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty.

Is there anyone who would fucking say that their confidant is "the biggest troll in the world"?

Don’t I have to lose face when I take care of someone?

Censor Gu felt bitter, but he didn't say anything.

When it came to business, Gu Zuo suppressed his anger and responded unhappily.

"With the help of the last corruption case involving Liu Guan and others, the Metropolitan Procuratorate has achieved a major change of blood. Now there are loyal and honest ministers who are full of motivation."

"There are a total of 110 supervisory censors from the thirteen dynasties. In the past few months, all the ministers have personally evaluated and reviewed them. As soon as the new salt comes on the market next year, they will take action immediately to audit and supervise the local government..."

Gu Zuo looked solemn and gave a perfect answer.

In four months, with the full support of the officials and under tremendous pressure, he rebuilt a brand new Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Because of the major corruption case colluded by Liu Guan and others, and the King of Han's public exposure of the case, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, one of the three judicial departments, was reduced to a complete joke, with no credibility at all.

The lessons from the past are right in front of him. Gu Zuo was appointed at the critical moment, faced all kinds of doubts and speculations, and used strong methods to create a brand new Metropolitan Procuratorate.

For a young man who is only thirty years old, this answer sheet is perfect.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded happily after hearing this and did not regret his original recommendation.

However, if you want a horse to run, you have to feed it.

"The King intends to strengthen the power of Ke Dao. From now on, Ke Dao has the power of independent investigation. From princes and nobles to local officials, Ke Dao has the power to conduct investigations. As long as officials are found to have illegal evidence of corruption and bribery, We can arrest you immediately!”

"Ten percent of the confiscated stolen money will be used as a reward for the officials handling the case. You, Gu Zuo, will decide how to distribute and use it. This is an independent fund belonging to your Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

As soon as these words came out, the whole place was in an uproar.

Yang Shiqi and others' expressions changed drastically, and they looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief.

what is this?

He has raised the power of the science and technology officials to a terrifying height, and can even independently arrest corrupt officials!

In other words, since then, in addition to the sharp sword hanging over the heads of the officials, there is now a sharper steel sword!

In order to get rewards for handling cases, those science and technology officials will probably try every means to detect corruption!

After all, if a corrupt official is randomly investigated, the amount involved is at least tens of thousands of taels, and the dividends that fall into the hands of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are at least ten thousand taels!

At that time, the officials handling the case will get one cent, at least two or three hundred taels, which is several months' salary!

In the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate, there are 110 censors from the 13 departments and 42 people from the 6 departments, a total of more than 150 people!

With benefits, there will be motivation!

If the King of Han really followed this approach, I'm afraid that these more than 150 science and technology officials would turn into crazy dogs in the future, staring at the civil and military officials of the dynasty for rewards!

Gu Zuo was confused, a little excited and a little scared.

What's exciting is that since then, the power of the Metropolitan Procuratorate has been greatly increased, and it can be said to be a real surveillance state!

What is frightening is that if this happens, not only Gu Zuo, but the entire Metropolitan Procuratorate will be isolated and even hostile, and will be completely forced to embark on a lonely path!

However, before he could speak, many people could not sit still.

Huang Huai's face was very ugly, and he said directly: "Your Majesty, the regulations of the scientific and technical officials are the ancestral system set by Emperor Gao, how can it be easily changed?"

He was very smart and did not directly confront the King of Han. Instead, he chose to use ancestral control to suppress others.

But Huanghuai University Scholar forgot that in the entire Yongle Dynasty, the person who least obeyed the ancestral system was none other than Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han Dynasty!

Hearing Huang Huai's words, Zhu Gaoxu immediately sneered: "Huang Huai, my grandfather's words are golden rules, can't they be changed at will? My grandfather is so awesome, why didn't I know?"

Everyone: "???"

You seem to have that serious disease in your head!

"Besides, since you have the guts to mention the ancestral system, then I will have a good talk about the ancestral system with you!"

Hearing this, the ministers immediately felt a bad feeling in their hearts.

The Prince of Han sneered and said: "You said that the ancestral system cannot be changed. That's good. I remember that my grandfather set a rule. Any official who is corrupt for sixty taels or more will be stripped of his skin and made of grass. According to you, this Is it also made by ancestors?"

Upon hearing this, all the ministers panicked, and their faces instantly turned pale as paper, without exception.

Although they, these court giants, cannot be called corruption, they still get a lot of benefits on weekdays.

Not to mention a mere sixty taels, six hundred taels and the like, if they are short of 60,000 taels, they are not worthy of their status!

Therefore, this ancestral system of sixty taels of peeled and solid grass is enough to kill all of them!

Seeing the reaction of the ministers, Zhu Gaoxu continued to ask: "Master Huanghuai, aren't you talking about the ancestral system?"

"Come on, let's talk. I'm asking you, sixty taels of corruption is the rule set by my grandfather. Is this the ancestral rule set by Emperor Gao?"

Huang Huai panicked, sweat dripping from his forehead, and did not dare to say a word.

According to his own statement, this rule set by Emperor Gao is indeed ancestral!

But this ancestral system is enough to kill them!

However, it was you, Huang Huai, who proposed the ancestral system. Now the Prince of Han is also talking to you, Huang Huai, about the ancestral system. What can you do?

"Come on, let's talk. Don't you like dogs barking? Keep barking!"
