After so many days of visits.
Zhu Yuanzhang finally understood that in the hearts of the local people, no one could replace Meng Yin.
With Zhuwang Zhuang's title settled, the matter here was settled.
Very quickly.
Zhu Yuanzhang decided to return to the capital.
....
Half a month later.
Hall of Heaven.
"Greetings, Emperor! Long live the emperor!"
Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the dragon throne, wearing the dragon robe.
His face was dignified.
His gaze swept across the officials below.
Civil officials on the left, military officers on the right.
During the early Ming Dynasty.
The two truly powerful forces in the imperial court were actually: Zhedong Group and Huaixi Group.
The leaders of both sides were Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang.
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty.
The two sides soon became enemies.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't interfere at all. He supported their internal strife so that he could get rid of those old officials who he thought would threaten Crown Prince Zhu Biao.
Let the old Zhu family's territory be forever stable.
The two major groups had been fighting for many years. With Liu Bowen's death, Zhedong Group fell into desolation.
Now, Huaixi Group was the biggest.
Previously, in order to deal with Liu Bowen, Li Shanzhang had trained a new person to take over Huaixi Group and also to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's suspicion.
That person was Hu Weiyong.
Today, Hu Weiyong and his henchmen paid more attention to Zhu Yuanzhang's visit.
It was as if he was really a good subject who shared the worries of the monarch.
On the dragon throne.
Zhu Yuanzhang's majestic voice sounded.
"Alright."
"I have something important to announce today.”
In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy to watch them fight among themselves.
They might even 'unintentionally' reveal some of their private tricks to the other party, intensifying their conflict.
However, he had more important things to say today.
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words.
The officials on both sides could only stop.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said,"
"I have already decided on the ancestral land of the Zhu family and named it Zhuwang Village.”
All the officials below knelt down and bowed.
" Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said,"All beloved ministers, please rise."”
"I've been on a trip for several months."
"I found something good and wanted to share it with my beloved ministers.”
All the officials were curious.
The emperor brought back good things for his subjects? This was the first time he had heard of it.
"Men, send the things to all the beloved ministers.”
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.
The eunuch beside him was holding a stack of folded papers.
Every minister received a copy.
"Dear ministers, please take a look."
With Zhu Yuanzhang's order.
Only then did the ministers dare to open it.
After that.
All of them were shocked.
"resume"
On the first page, there were two big words: resume.
He flipped to the second page.
There weren't many words inside, but it was concise and comprehensive in asking all the questions about an official's career.
There was also a line of words at the back.
(All replies must be true, please attach verification)
The officials all felt that this resume was quite fresh.
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice sounded again.
"Zhen has already decided."
"From today onwards, any official appointed by the Imperial Court, regardless of rank, must fill in a resume like this.”
"In this way, I can quickly distinguish the officials and determine their positions.”
The ministers in the imperial court also felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's idea was good.
"According to the requirements of the resume, it does seem much faster.”
"Not bad. I didn't expect Your Majesty to discover such a good thing.”
"If it were any other official case, it would also be clearly marked according to the resume. It would be much more convenient to check.”
The ministers all accepted the resume.
" Your Majesty is wise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction.
......
After the morning court session ended.
Zhu Yuanzhang went straight to the study and began to review the memorials as usual.
He visited for several months.
One could imagine that the pile of memorials in the study was taller than his entire body.
Just as he sat down.
He thought of what had happened in the court just now and recalled Meng Yin's resume.
Previously, he already felt that he did not know much about Meng Yin.
This time, they returned to the capital.
He planned to continue digging deeper into Meng Yin's body to see what other secrets he had.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought for a moment and said in a deep voice,"Summon the leader of the guards to see me."
During this period of the Ming Dynasty, there was no Jinyiwei.
However…
The Guards Division was actually the predecessor of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
However…
At this time, the Gongwei Division was still not the Jinyiwei that made people tremble in fear.
His main job was to be responsible for the safety of the emperor, which was equivalent to a bodyguard.
However…
As a bodyguard for the royal family, the selection requirements were very strict.
Not only did he have to have decent facial features, but he also had to be skilled in martial arts.
Moreover…
At this moment, the people from the Guardian Division were already wearing their flying fish uniforms.
.......
An hour later.
The leader of the Guards Division came in and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with a serious expression and said,""I have something for you to do."
"Your Majesty, please instruct me!"
Zhu Yuanzhang knocked on the table, recalling the events that had happened before.
After thinking it through.
He then ordered,"Zhen, I want you to bring some people to Pei County."”
The leader of the Guards Division was a little puzzled.
Pei County?
Didn't His Majesty just return from there?
Could it be that something big had happened there?
Otherwise, why would they send the guards to such a faraway place?
However…
The leader of the Guards Division heard Zhu Yuanzhang say,"After you go to Pei County, investigate a person.”
"His name is Meng Yin, the county magistrate of Pei County.”
"I want to know what this person has done since the Ming Dynasty was founded.”
"No matter how big or small the matter is, you have to report it one by one.”
He paused.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression changed slightly as he said,""Zhen also wants to know how much Meng Yin has now.”
The leader of the Guards Division was even more puzzled.
They didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang would send so many people just for a small county magistrate.
However…
The leader of the Guards Division did not dare to ask any more questions.
"Yes, sir! Your Majesty!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand.”
After the leader of the Guards Division left.
Zhu Yuanzhang began to review the memorials.
After he read a few memorials, all the ministers mentioned one thing.
That was the matter of Hu Weiyong being conferred the title of Prime Minister.
Three years ago, Hu Weiyong was recommended by Li Shanzhang to become the Right Prime Minister.
Later, Hu Weiyong developed his followers in the court.
After a few years, the Huaixi Group's strength had expanded, and almost half of the people in the court were their henchmen.
This time, everyone jointly wrote a letter requesting Zhu Yuanzhang to make Hu Weiyong the Left Prime Minister.
At that time, he would really be a person below one person and above ten thousand people.
Zhu Yuanzhang revealed a cold smile.
"Since you want this prime minister so much, zhen will give it to you!”
