With a bang, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table and stood up.

A few years ago, the blank seal case was also a problem caused by the Ministry of Revenue. At that time, in order to facilitate the handover with some places, the Ministry of Revenue would stamp some blank documents with seals, so that some people who could not match the amount could act expediently.

Officials thought it was a normal behavior and had been doing things like this since the end of the Yuan Dynasty.

But Zhu Yuanzhang was the last one to know about this. Naturally, he felt that the people in the Ministry of Revenue were deceiving the superiors and the subordinates, and there was no way to detect the corruption involved, so he immediately executed the chief seal official, and many others were also implicated.

I didn't expect that just after I put down my sword, someone in the household would dare to be so bold.

"How brave you are to embezzle tax money!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, "We know that there are not many clean people in the Ministry of Revenue, so I want to kill Guo Heng with my own hands."

"A few years ago, when we were dealing with the cheating in the Ministry of Household Documents, many people accused us. These unscrupulous people in the imperial court are greedy, cunning and wanton. They think they can hide the truth and are lawless. Once we let us

If found, we will be severely punished."

The word greed is Zhu Yuanzhang's bottom line.

Even if he was not greedy, Zhu Yuanzhang still felt that there was something wrong with this person.

People who came from the late Yuan Dynasty know that no matter how big or small corrupt officials are, they are all officials who harm others.

Zhu Biao heard clearly that now Zhang Feng used playing cards to calculate and calculated that Guo Heng was just greedy. Even if the court wanted to punish him, he could not evade this reason.

"Father, Master Zhang just analyzed the hexagrams, which is equivalent to using the sixty-four hexagrams of the Book of Changes at a hexagram booth." Zhu Biao explained to Zhu Yuanzhang, "This can be done countless times. When it comes to the court,

, the ministers will not approve it."

"Besides, others don't know who Zhang Tianshi is, and they won't believe it if I tell him."

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally knew that there were countless things he could do, and he did not want to expose Zhang Feng easily. Zhu Yuanzhang would never do anything like bringing ministers to listen to Zhang Feng's calculations.

Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang knew the tricks of fortune-telling, and many of them should not be taken too seriously.

It's just that Zhang Feng's calculations have always been too accurate, so he directly chose to believe that if he really used this name to punish Guo Heng, Guo Heng would definitely be dissatisfied.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "We also know a little bit about the Eight Diagrams. Qian Kan Gen Zhen Xun Li Kun Dui, several hexagrams can be transformed into sixty-four hexagrams, which is also all-encompassing. It is similar to Zhang Tianshi's poker card."

"If Liu Ji is still here, you can ask him if he knows poker. This guy always likes to hide good things secretly. If we hadn't found out, we would have missed a talent like Tianshi."

Zhu Yuanzhang had seen Zhang Feng's playing cards and couldn't understand the curved numbers inside, but he felt that they were similar to the hexagrams in the Bagua.

?,?,?,?,?,?,?,?, these eight hexagrams can be combined to deduce a variety of hexagrams, and Zhang Feng's playing cards can also be combined to deduce.

It's just that Liu Bowen is dead, and I can't find anyone who understands this and is trustworthy to compare.

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "We have seen Zhang Tianshi's ability, and the calculation cannot be wrong. If Guo Heng was not so greedy, how could Tianshi say anything against him?"

Once Zhu Yuanzhang thinks so, this person will not be able to run away.

It's just that what Zhu Yuanzhang did made both Zhu Biao and Zhu Di feel inappropriate. Even if they want to be punished, there must be legitimate reasons and charges. Zhang Feng's words alone are not enough.

Zhu Di said on the side: "Father, even if we want to convict Guo Heng, we must have conclusive evidence. Otherwise, everyone in the household department will be in danger, and few will dare to stay in the household department to serve the court."

"Fourth brother is right. The Ministry of Revenue is still in charge of the printing of treasure banknotes. Once there is a shortage of manpower, there will be chaos." Zhu Biao continued: 'Father, you still have to be cautious about this matter.'

Initially, the treasure banknotes were in charge of the Zhongshu Ministry of Finance. After the Hu Weiyong case, the Zhongshu Province was abolished, and the Ming Dynasty's treasure banknotes were handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "That makes sense. Xu Hui has just been imprisoned and Guo Yundao has just taken office. There cannot be chaos in the Ministry of Household Affairs, but we cannot allow this moth to be in the Ministry of Household Affairs. We will not convict him of chaos."

Unfounded charges are taboo.

As long as there is conclusive evidence, no one will dare to say a word about how to kill him. But if he is convicted based on suspicion, the impact will be bad.

"Since we can't take down Guo Heng directly, let's check him from childhood to adulthood." Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "It's best to check several generations of his ancestors. Maybe this is the case with the elders in the family.

Learned.”

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked strange. If we really checked like this, how many perfect people would there be in the world?

"Father, would this investigation be too detailed?" Zhu Biao suggested on the side: "If you want to investigate, you can investigate Guo Heng's affairs during his time in the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Do you think they won't commit fraud on the surface?" Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "These officials have many methods of corruption. If you don't investigate the past together, you won't be able to find any clues. Some of them look like they have nothing to live up to.

, but they hide gold and silver in the wall. They have many tricks, and we have to guard against them."

Zhu Yuanzhang was dazzled by the various methods of corrupt officials. There was nothing he could not imagine but nothing he could not do. It would be difficult to discover without careful and thorough investigation.

Zhu Biao and Zhu Di could only mourn Guo Heng secretly!

Zhu Yuanzhang called Mao Xiang in. Every time he came, Mao Xiang would wait outside, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely give him orders if something happened.

"Immediately let someone investigate Guo Heng. Everything is detailed. We want to know it thoroughly." Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were sharp. He cannot be allowed to exist like this. As long as there is evidence, he must be taken down. "In addition, we can arrange for people to create opportunities for him.

, look at what he looks like in front of the temptation of a large amount of money."

The two brothers Zhu Biao and Zhu Di looked at each other. It would be strange if Guo Heng did not die if they played like this.

If no evidence of corruption is found, Mao Xiang's people will use temptation. There are a few people who can withstand constant temptation.

Ten guan of treasure banknotes can remain unchanged, a hundred guan of treasure banknotes can remain indifferent, what about one thousand guan, ten thousand guan, or even one hundred thousand guan?

When Mao Xiang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he knew that a thorough investigation was needed, but he still asked: "Your Majesty, how far will the investigation go?"

"Don't mess around without conclusive evidence. If you don't have any conclusive evidence, investigate everything else."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave Mao Xiang a lot of free space.

Except for not messing around without conclusive evidence, everyone else in Mao Xiang can do whatever they want.

Mao Xiang finally understood. After replying to Zhu Yuanzhang, he turned around with a hint of evil in his eyes. As long as he targeted the person, that person would not be able to escape.
