Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled.
He realized that Meng Yin's mind was really full of ideas.
But he himself thought for so long and still could not figure out just how Meng Yin did it.
After sighing helplessly, Zhu Yuanzhang could only continue to ask the people of the Guardian Division.
"How did the officials in Fuzhou spend so much silver in such a short time?”
"As far as I know, the salaries of their local officials are not high.”
The guards replied," Your Majesty, all of this is actually related to Meng Yin.”
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and said,""Is it related to him again? What did he do this time?"
Meng Yin's actions surprised him one after another. He was almost used to it now.
Therefore, when the people from the Public Guards Division found out that the Fuzhou officials 'wanton spending of silver and loitering in brothels was related to Meng Yin, his first reaction was only curiosity and not anger.
The guards said," Your Majesty! After Meng Yin took over the Fuzhou government, he first investigated the local officials.”
"After that, Meng Yin said that his subordinate officials were working very hard, so he visited all of them.”
"It was also during this visit that he gave some silver to the families of every official.”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he actually laughed out loud.
When other court officials took office, they would observe the local people's feelings.
Meng Yin was good. He did not feel sorry for the local people.
Instead, he felt sorry for those who were officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang snorted.
"Zhen has never heard of how much the officials of Fuzhou have worked for the people. How hard can they be?”
"On the contrary, the local people are worlds apart from the people of Pei County.”
Meng Yin saw that he was actually indifferent to this and instead went to subsidize those officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt that Meng Yin did not put the people first.
However…
He then thought again. That's not right. Meng Yin, this corrupt official, was thinking about how to turn other people's money into his own pocket.
How could he be so kind as to give money to other subordinate officials?
There must be a problem here!
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately asked the guards.
"After that, what did Meng Yin say to those officials 'homes? What did he do? Did he just take the money out for nothing?”
The other party nodded and replied,"Yes, Your Majesty. Meng Yin indeed went to send money to those officials, but he also talked about some official business."”
"After all, Meng Yin had just arrived in Fuzhou Prefecture. There were some things that he did not understand, so he still asked many local officials.”
Zhu Yuanzhang narrowed his eyes. He had finally heard the main point.
He knew that Meng Yin, this brat, definitely did not have any good intentions.
"Then tell me, what exactly did Meng Yin communicate with those officials? And what were the main things he inquired about?“
However…
The guards who were asked these questions seemed to be unable to answer.
In the end, he stammered,"Your Majesty, I only heard this much. I don't know the details."”
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, his expression immediately changed.
What kind of words was this? He had just heard what he should have heard and it had already ended.
"A bunch of useless things, what use do I have for you!”
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
The guards hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"
He could only hear the people from the Guardian Division repeating this sentence. The anger in Zhu Yuanzhang's heart burned even more.
He kicked the man.
"Get lost."
"Yes, yes, yes. This subordinate will get lost now."
At least he managed to keep his life.
This person rolled out without a word.
Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he couldn't speak.
After a while.
Zhu Yuanzhang himself also calmed down.
He muttered to himself. "Looks like it's time to implement Zhen's idea."
On the second day of court, Zhu Yuanzhang announced a new piece of news in Yingtian Palace.
On the dragon throne.
Zhu Yuanzhang said with a serious expression," After the grain hoarding case in Xuzhou, I thought about it. If it wasn't for the fact that the imperial court didn't investigate it beforehand, we wouldn't have wrongly accused so many good officials.”
"I've been thinking about it for a long time recently.”
"In order not to let the previous matter happen again, Zhen has already thought of a decision.”
The civil and military officials standing below all perked up their ears, wondering what Zhu Yuanzhang was going to do.
Someone with a brain.
At this moment, they all felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's mention of the matter of the Xuzhou Prefecture Magistrate did not necessarily have much to do with what he was going to do today. Perhaps he was just using that matter as an excuse.
Then…
They all heard Zhu Yuanzhang continue," I want to set up a new bureaucrat system to investigate all kinds of things that I want to know about the court and the people.”
"The people in this official system will directly listen to me, and their power will be equal to the Supreme Court and the Imperial Censorate.”
After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking.
This time, all the officials in the court were shocked.
It was just an independent intelligence organization, yet it had such high authority?
They actually had equal rights with the emperor's subordinates and the largest bureaucracy?
Didn't that mean that the officials in this new system were equal to everyone in the imperial court?
Li Shan Chang, Tang He, Xu Da, and the others could not figure out what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking.
However, among everyone present.
Hu Weiyong was the most shocked.
He was now the Left Prime Minister, who was second only to one person and above tens of thousands of people.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang set up a new bureaucracy at this time.
Moreover, from what he heard, it meant that the people inside didn't even need to bow in front of him, the Prime Minister?
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had said so.
It was just an organization that gathered intelligence and did not have any other rights.
But Hu Weiyong still felt uncomfortable!
Even if the other ministers had their own thoughts, Zhu Yuanzhang had already given the order, so how could they allow others to object?
Zhu Yuanzhang's majestic voice once again resounded throughout the entire hall.
" I've named this newly established bureaucracy-"
"Embroidered Uniform Guards!"
