Take yourself to heaven?

Zhao Ce was dumbfounded by Zhu Houzhao's words.

He is still young and does not want to go to heaven yet.

But it's almost spring now, and the wind is not light every day.

Testing at this time is actually quite dangerous.

In fact, the best time to test is in summer when the monsoon is low.

But according to Zhu Houzhao's temperament, he couldn't wait that long.

Zhao Ce thought for a while and suggested: "It is okay to test, but it must be tried after the end of time."

"The wind was light at that time and it was safer."

Zhu Houzhao agreed wholeheartedly and couldn't wait for that day to come.

but.

He remembered what he had heard and asked Zhao Ce: "Did something bad happen to you today?"

As he spoke, he told everything he had just heard.

Zhao Ce smiled: "It's okay."

"It's just some small actions, it doesn't affect me."

Zhu Houzhao thought for a while before saying: "The previous Nanzhili tax bank case seemed to involve many innocent officials."

"How about I go back and talk to my father and ask him to send an imperial envoy to investigate more carefully."

Zhao Ce suddenly asked: "Your Highness, do you think these people are really innocent?"

Zhu Houzhao was stunned for a moment.

What's the meaning?

They are not innocent, so why should others help them redress their injustice?

"You, you mean..."

Zhao Ce said: "Your Highness, does he know the results of Qingzhou's investigation at that time?"

"Even a low-level official plays an important role in it?"

Although the tax money was recovered by Zhu Houzhao when the blind cat encountered a dead mouse.

But before him, Zhao Ce and Wang Shouren had done a lot of work.

They pried open the mouths of local officials and asked the inside story.

Until later.

Although Zhao Ce didn't pay much attention to these survey results after returning to his hometown.

But thanks to the help of these people today, it took Zhao Ce a lot of effort to understand this.

Qingzhou local officials, big and small.

They all contributed more or less to the tax bank case.

Even the prefect of Qingzhou was demoted.

If Qingzhou is like this, how can other places be so good?

Zhu Houzhao thought about this matter and hesitated a little.

"It seems..."

Zhao Ce smiled.

"Your Highness, they think they can get away with it because they are not involved in this matter."

"But local officials, big and small, collude together and form a collusion, which cannot be formed overnight."

"But the imperial court has not received any news for so many years."

"Even after the tax bank case emerged, all local officials remained tight-lipped about it."

"This is enough to show that although many people were not involved, they definitely knew about it."

"They don't get involved themselves, and they don't want to offend their colleagues or superiors and subordinates."

"So they choose to turn a blind eye."

"But they are officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they turn a blind eye to these behaviors that are obviously harmful to the Ming Dynasty."

"The imperial court's tax money can be transferred by them without anyone noticing."

"If one day."

"When His Highness is out on tour, will he be abducted without anyone noticing when he passes by somewhere?"

Zhu Houzhao was suddenly shocked.

What Zhao Ce said is indeed very likely to happen.

The imperial court collected taxes and sent troops to accompany him to escort him.

They could all be hidden by a group of them who cooperated inside and outside.

If one day, the prince himself goes out in a big way and encounters some officials with evil intentions, might he be treated like a tax collector?

Zhu Houzhao was angry!

He slammed the table and said angrily: "You're right!"

"How could they do this?"

"Imperial envoys were sent over, but they still pretended to cooperate in the search."

"But most of them definitely know this!"

"Failure to report information is a dereliction of duty in itself!"

"Officials who neglect their duties should be punished!"

Thinking like this, Zhu Houzhao felt that the Cui family mentioned by the group of people just now seemed not so innocent anymore.

Zhao Ce patted his shoulder and asked him to calm down.

"Your Majesty is merciful. In fact, the punishment for these officials who have failed to act will not be too severe."

"So your Highness can rest assured."

Zhu Houzhao actually didn't pity those people.

As a prince, he has always held a high position.

He had no interest in thinking about the officials below.

Anyway, those are just a few lines on the memorial.

But after hearing about this incident today, he rarely thought about it.

But now, he suddenly realized.

Those few lines of words, if you don't deal with them seriously, are very likely to threaten your own safety!

He couldn't bear this anymore!

Although he loves to play, he cherishes his life very much.

Zhu Houzhao stood up with a "whoosh".

"I want to go to my father and tell him not to be lenient, and these officials must be punished properly!"

"Otherwise, it may lay the foundation for disaster!"

"No, my father has always been soft-spoken and will deal with those people lightly."

"I have to keep an eye on this."

After saying that, he said to Zhao Ce: "Let's go first!"

Zhao Ce couldn't help but feel a little helpless when he saw his vigorous and resolute appearance.

I just thought of the situation in Qingzhou, so I also substituted other places.

But the details, of course, still need to be investigated by the people sent by the emperor.

However, although Zhu Houzhao acted a little impatiently, Emperor Hongzhi could not completely listen to him.

Zhao Ce looked at the information documents he put aside with a slightly thoughtful expression.

...

In the Nuan Pavilion at this time.

Emperor Hongzhi just put down the memorial in his hand and rubbed his eyebrows.

The New Deal was implemented last year, and many officials in various places were resistant to it.
