Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

As for Zhu Yuanzhang, he is also a stubborn person who cannot be defeated by anyone.

Even after hearing that Prince Ning had left Peiping, he had no intention of giving up.

He has made up his mind!

On this trip, no matter what, he wanted to see Prince Ning!

Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang had forgotten the purpose of leaving the underground palace in the first place, which was to go to Daning Mansion to investigate the background of Prince Ning.

Jiang Wei also had a headache when facing Zhu Yuanzhang who was so stubborn and refused to listen to advice.

What can he do?

Even if I try to persuade them, I won’t be able to do so. If I don’t, I’m afraid of an accident on the road.

The key point is that His Majesty is completely disobedient.

Even if you tell him nicely and kindly, he will get angry because it doesn't suit his wishes.

At this age, any outburst of anger may lead to immediate death.

Jiang Wei didn't dare to bet on this possibility.

We can only follow Zhu Yuanzhang's temperament.

Listen to him and continue to go to Prince Ning! 20 However, this time, Jiang Yu did not dare to let Zhu Yuanzhang continue to ride the bumpy carriage.

It is better to take a boat, there are not so many uncomfortable feelings.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard that Jiang Yu had arranged for him to take a boat, he couldn't help but be confused.

What boat to take?

Where to go by boat?

Seeing that they were already halfway through the journey, the nearby waterways had long been blocked and cut off. How could there be any waterways for them to sail?

Zhu Yuanzhang's question was quickly answered by Jiang Wei.

It turned out that Jin Yiwei had already gathered a lot of information while Zhu Yuanzhang was unwell.

Especially the news about Prince Ning, which can be said to be countless!

On the one hand, Jiang Wei was shocked by the contents of the intelligence, and on the other hand, he silently compiled the information.

I plan to hand it over to His Majesty for viewing later.

Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is out of danger and still wants to meet Prince Ning, this information is what he must master before meeting Prince Ning.

Jiang Wei presented the information collected by Jin Yiwei in the past two months to Zhu Yuanzhang one by one.

First, King Ning dredged the river from Peiping to Yingtian, and sent a large number of craftsmen to build dams, successfully widening the river and connecting various cities together.

Moreover, King Ning was not idle on the way to dredge the river.

Many vassal kings were investigated and punished non-stop.

Any vassal king who does evil in his own fiefdom and exploits the common people will either be beheaded or be exiled.

For those who are focused on academic research, Prince Ning has not moved for the time being.

There is still a glimmer of hope for the vassal capital.

But officials along the route were not so lucky.

All officials who were discovered by King Ning to be tyrannical by taking advantage of their authority were basically dealt with immediately.

It is said that hundreds of people were killed in execution grounds in some places in one day, and the ground was soaked with blood.

Prince Ning's reputation was now completely spread among local officials.

After those officials who had been corrupt for many years and had become giant beetles heard about King Ning's cruel methods, they immediately stopped serving as officials and wanted to escape with their families overnight.

However, how could their actions be hidden from the eyes and ears of Prince Ning?

It just made it easier for Ning Wang to lock his target.

Seeing that he couldn't run away, King Ning would suffer even if he came.

Some officials were so overwhelmed by their guilty conscience that they simply hanged themselves.

Even before he died, he had to collect all the things he had embezzled, for fear that his family would be harmed.

As for those honest officials, King Ning not only did not punish them, but also greatly encouraged them.

The original salaries of those officials were increased, and a lot of money was also awarded.

King Ning even boasted about Haikou, saying that in the future, as long as honest officials work honestly, their salaries will not be low. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

As a result, those officials who were punished regretted it.

Since there are legal ways to live comfortably, why should I live in such fear in the first place?

If Prince Ning comes as soon as possible, maybe they will have a chance to correct their evil ways!

Unfortunately, these are things for the next life.

King Ning's move of clearly distinguishing rewards and punishments immediately won praise from officials along the line.

In the past, their salaries were so meager that they could not even support themselves.

Taking bribes is also a helpless act for the sake of family members.

Fortunately, Prince Ning didn't criticize them too much for their little quarrel, which made them feel relieved.

Thinking of the fate of their corrupt colleagues, they had nightmares for a month.

Of course, thanks to Prince Ning's ruthless measures, they no longer have to worry about the filth in the officialdom.

Although Prince Ning's straightforward approach caused panic among corrupt officials, it won solid praise among the people.

Now the people almost praise King Ning to the sky.

Words such as the reincarnation of various gods and the destiny of the emperor are spread everywhere.

People in some places have even enshrined King Ning on the longevity tablet, hoping that God would allow him to remain emperor.

After listening to Jiang Wei's reports, Zhu Yuanzhang had a complicated expression on his face.[]

It stands to reason that if his son can make such a feat and gain such a reputation, he should be happy in his heart.

But for some reason, he couldn't be happy and even wanted to get angry.

There is no other reason. Prince Ning's outstanding performance contrasts with the various failures in his career as emperor in the past few years.

When it comes to killing corrupt officials, hasn’t Zhu Yuanzhang ever killed them? 413 killed him!

Killed more than once!

But has this practice been discontinued?

It can be said that there is absolutely none.

Some trial officials even went to plead guilty after convicting others.

Because many of the officials who judged were themselves corrupt.

A large group of people were brought down in the past, and those who were elected later continued to be corrupt.

Just like the endless weeds, year after year, the cycle of breeding corrupt officials and killing them is still repeated and cannot be broken out.

Those officials were extremely afraid of the emperor, but they still had to be greedy.

But this time was different. He heard from Jiang Wei that King Ning was much more lenient towards officials.

The attitude of those officials towards Prince Ning was completely different from the previous fear, and there was even a feeling of love.

While Prince Ning seemed to be soft on officials, he had actually drafted regulations and planned to encourage people to report corruption by officials.

He even contacted major commercial banks, brothels, restaurants, banks and other places where large-amount money transactions are prone to occur.

An ultimatum was issued to him. From now on, whenever officials spend large amounts of money, they must report it.

Otherwise, when caught, he will be guilty of the same crime as a corrupt official.

Along with this, there are various other means.

Each one made Zhu Yuanzhang feel novel and reasonable at the same time..
