"Emperor...Emperor!"

Yan Zheng stood up blankly and looked in the direction of Zhu Yunxiu with trembling eyes, his eyes full of shock.

The next second, he knelt down with a thud and shouted, "Master!"

~~

Xu Ping'an looked up ignorantly, first looked at Zhu Yun's, and then looked at the officials kneeling in the lobby.

"He is the Emperor?"

"Aren't the emperor all white bearded old men?"

In an instant, his mind was as messy as it was.

Then he bit his tongue hard!

"Ouch!"

pain!

Not a dream!

He is really the emperor!

Then, Xu Ping'an's body trembled violently...

Then, tears burst out from my eyes.

And while Zhang Qian knelt down at Zhu Yunxi, several guards beside him formed a human wall almost at the same time.

Under the lobby, all the people watching the fun were stunned.

They looked at the young man in front of them as if they had lost their souls.

After seeing the humble bowing of the officials, in an instant, a hot and bright brilliance suddenly burst out in the eyes of these people.

Even an old man stretched out his hand tremblingly and timidly stroked the air in front of him, as if it was Zhu Yunxi's body.

"Emperor! Did I actually see the Emperor?"

"Long live my emperor..."

A loud cry sounded, and the sound went further and further.

It was directly transmitted to the government office, causing more and more people to rush over.

At this moment, they were like devout believers.

No, they are devout believers!

But then, countless roars of combat boots sounded, and Chang Sen's personal soldiers unsheathed their waists and built a human wall directly.

The people who flocked in were like floods swaying on the shore. Although they were surging, they could not move forward.

At the same time, the Chang family's personal soldiers and the guards' sharp blades made these people instantly awake from their excitement and become awe.

"Long live my emperor when the sinner Zhang Qian!"

The crowd became quiet, and Zhang Qian knelt down and continued to kowtow.

Zhu Yunyu walked slowly to the lobby with his hands behind his back. When he passed by Zhang Qian, he didn't even look at him.

Instead, he said as he walked, "If you can guess that I am here, it proves that you are an extremely smart person!"

As he said that, he slowly turned around and stared at Zhang Qian, "You have said so much just now! Are you talking to me?"

"The criminals dare not!" Zhang Qian continued to kowtow.

"You said you were like this, and what you said is that you are involuntarily in your position, right?"

Zhu Yunxi smiled, "Do you think you are right?"

"The criminals dare not say it is reasonable, but... they can only go with the flow!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu raised his head and laughed, "What a man who follows the flow! Who is the flow? Who is the flow? What you mean is the officialdom, and you can't keep it alone!"

"Ha!" Zhu Yunxiu smiled again, "Do you know what I feel when I hear it?"

As he said that, he continued, "It's a bad word... No, the word "It's a bad word" to praise you. It should be, it's a fool!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunqi slowly walked to the hall and looked at the plaque hanging high with a clear mirror.

He suddenly remembered the Taoist named Jun Bao and said, "The atmosphere in the officialdom is the unchangeable mountains and rivers. Your personal ethics is the rugged and difficult mountain road!"

"You have gone wrong, and you still blame the mountains and rivers? You can't control yourself, and you still blame the sun, moon, and stars?"

Then, Zhu Yunxi sighed slightly, "You have said so much, probably the only one who can convince you! And in the ears of others, it is just a quibble!"

Immediately, Zhu Yunxi turned around and pointed at Xu Ping'an who was kneeling and the neighbors who had lost their relatives.

"You are greedy, I am not angry! People are greedy first!" Zhu Yunxiu sneered, "But the disabled people, I will definitely not tolerate it!" As he said, he pointed to the criminals who were still in a coma and said loudly, "You have killed their relatives and are not allowed to complain. This is to be honest and unreasonable. What do you treat them as?"

"They are human beings! They are human beings like you, but they don't have the right in their hands, so will they be bullied by you at will?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Yunyu gritted his teeth and slowly sat down on the official chair, sneering, "Do you think they can bully at will? Do you think you can trample on national laws at will? Then you can explain it with a light and drifting with the flow?"

"Ha! What a big joke! If you are just greedy, the people will scold you. And the people will scold the Ming Dynasty and the emperor!"

Bang!

Zhu Yunxiu slapped the table, and the iron voucher of Chang Sen's alchemy book on it was shaken.

"Long live my life to calm down!"

Chang Sen quickly persuaded him, and shook his wrist and the iron coupon of the alchemy book was put into his sleeves.

"And you!"

Zhu Yunxi pointed at the edge of the side, and was in a state of dismay. "As a provincial inspector and in charge of litigation and punishment in a province, you think about the doctrine of the mean and the light of the dust, how stupid!"

"There are also the governors of Huguang!" Zhu Yunxiu said angrily again, "Think of a word to remind me of, and officials protect each other!"

"Whether... if you have a little conscience, why can the people have no way to ask for advice? If you have a little ethics, how can the officialdom be corrupt?"

"Zhang Qian, you said!" Zhu Yunxiu said loudly, "What should you blame?"

"Sinner......" Zhang Qian smiled bitterly and looked up, "Sinner should be stripped of skin and put on grass, and hang it on this official yard to make future generations alert!"

"But I... I have something to say!"

"Okay! I will listen to your dying words and see if it's good?"

"Your Majesty, you probably know that Wuchang is not the only one who is decaying in the officialdom in the world!"

Zhang Qian knelt down. At this moment, he seemed to have relaxed, no longer so frightened and nervous, and there was no sign of trembling on his body.

"But yourselves, have you ever thought about the source of the deterioration of the official ethos?"

Zhu Yunsheng sneered and continued to listen to the following.

"As early as Emperor Taizu Gao, there were corrupt officials in the world, but that was just a personal greed. It was not like this now, and every catch was a bunch of people!"

"Is it just because of Emperor Taizu Gao's severe punishment?" Zhang Qian shook his head, "I'm afraid not!"

Speaking of this, he sighed, "During Emperor Taizu, the taxes in various prefectures in the world were all fixed quotas. If there are more people and rich places, pay more! If there are fewer people, pay less!"

"Even if the population grows in the future, with this foundation, there are still many people in places with large populations, so there is nothing wrong with the fixed tax!"

"The fixed tax is a land tax and a din tax. Even if the commercial tax is occasionally collected, it is still thirty taxes! Moreover, the prefectures and prefectures shall not make any name and increase taxes without authorization."

"At that time, the annual fixed tax of the Ming Dynasty exceeded 32 million taels and no more than 90 taels. At that time, a high-ranking county had no more than 90 taels in a year's official expenses!"

"You remember clearly!" Zhu Yunsheng sneered.

"The criminal was a county magistrate!" Zhang Qian smiled bitterly, "At that time, the emperor was still the crown prince of the Eastern Palace."

As he said that, he looked up again, "The official expenses of a county are said to be 90 taels, but in fact, they often cannot even reach fifty taels. It's not that they don't want to spend them, nor that they don't have a place to spend them."

"It costs money to receive the Lord Shangfeng and welcome and send off. It costs money to entertain the gentry and the elders of the country, and to help the poor and poor students! The reason why I can't even reach 90 taels every year is that I think I really have no money!"

"Now, the Wuchang Mansion alone spent as much as 2,700 silver dollars last year! Why? Because the government is rich now!"

Zhu Yunxiu already knew what Zhang Qian wanted to say.

Chang Sen was still ignorant, but Li Jinglong was already furious, "Stop talking! Do you still have a king and a father in your eyes?"
