Chapter 238 Zhu Yuanzhang Shared Ye Xuan’S Strategy To Punish Corrupt Officials, Queen Ma Was Amazed

Chapter 238 Zhu Yuanzhang shares Ye Xuan’s strategy for cracking down on corrupt officials, Queen Ma is amazed!

Royal palace, bedroom.

The bright candlelight illuminated the room.

The decoration in the room is simple, with lacquered huanghuali furniture and few decorations.

Dressing table.

The bronze mirror with double dragon pattern is as bright as a glass mirror, so clearly it reflects the graceful and luxurious face of Queen Ma.

Queen Ma sat in front of the dressing table.

Take off the "eight-bead ring" from your earlobe.

She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and the years had left traces of vicissitudes on her face.

Subtle crow's feet appear at the corners of the eyes.

Queen Ma reached out and touched the corners of her eyes.

Unknowingly, so many years have passed.

Now she and Chongba are no longer young.

Queen Ma's gaze moved to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's figure reflected in the bronze mirror.

Zhu Yuanzhang was wearing a white coat, sitting on the head of the bed, with a silk quilt draped over his abdomen, covering his body below the abdomen.

Hand holding a book.

However, his attention was not on the book at all.

His eyebrows were filled with joy.

Young couple.

Queen Ma knew Zhu Yuanzhang well.

Something good must have happened.

Otherwise Zhu Yuanzhang would not be so happy.

Queen Ma thought of Liu Bowen's request.

Maybe this is a good opportunity.

Chongba is in a good mood.

Whatever you ask for, maybe he will agree to it.

Queen Ma came to the bed and sat down and asked:

463 "Chongba, why are you so happy today?"

"Did something good happen?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's smile couldn't be hidden even if he wanted to, so he simply stopped hiding it. He smiled so hard that his teeth were gone, and the wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes became more obvious.

"Sister, let me tell you, that Ye Xuan is really amazing. That Ye Xuan is giving a lecture to the emperor's grandchildren in the main hall today. Guess what he taught to the emperor's grandchildren?"

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who was playing riddles with helplessness on her face.

How could she have guessed this?

"Chongba, what exactly did Ye Xuan say that made you so happy?"

"I really can't guess it, so don't go around in circles."

Zhu Yuanzhang stopped playing riddles and knew:

"Ye Xuan will tell the emperor and grandson how to deal with corrupt officials in the main hall today."

"He made four suggestions."

"We really didn't expect that there would be so many ways to deal with those corrupt officials."

His tone was full of emotion and admiration.

Queen Ma's curiosity was immediately aroused and she asked what the suggestion was.

Zhu Yuanzhang said:

"Ye Xuan made four suggestions."

"The first one is to establish a strict criminal law and use strict laws to deter all officials so that officials do not dare to be corrupt and cannot be corrupt. This idea of ​​Ye Xuan coincides with ours. We set up a strict criminal law. That’s exactly what I meant.”

"Although the number of corrupt officials has been reduced on the surface."

“But there’s an undercurrent underneath.”

“Corrupt officials are repeatedly punished.”

"This gives us a huge headache."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with distress on his face.

However, this look of distress quickly dissipated, revealing a look of excitement.

"We only think of this one way to deal with corrupt officials."

"However, Ye Xuan also proposed three other methods."

"The second method is to reward those who report corruption heavily, or even to exonerate the whistleblower."

"This is a really good move."

"This method allows the people to supervise the officials."

“Both bribe givers and bribe takers must be careful.”

"Don't dare to give or accept bribes easily."

"Otherwise, you will face having your hands and feet shackled."

Zhu Yuanzhang's words were full of praise.

Queen Ma is thoughtful.

She heard the second method and felt Ye Xuan's wisdom from literature.

“The third method is to establish a supervisory agency to supervise officials and investigate corrupt officials.

"We have decided to establish an inspection institute."

Zhu Yuanzhang informed the third method.

Queen Ma looked at the excited Zhu Yuanzhang and thought:

"No wonder Chongba thinks so highly of this person."

"This man is indeed so smart that he is almost a demon."

Corrupt officials.

Even Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang and others couldn't solve it.

Ye Xuan proposed the strategy in an understatement.

The matter was easily resolved.

This made Queen Ma feel in awe.

With this person's resourcefulness, if this person were in troubled times, he would definitely be able to become a prince, become a general, establish a great career, and even become the overlord of a party.

Even if he was born in a peaceful era, this person must be outstanding.

Queen Ma seemed to see a dazzling star rising.

"Chongba, I'm afraid this person's talent is even less than that of Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang."

"We must treat him kindly."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and said with a smile:

"That's natural."

"We (bhec) know."

Queen Ma:...

know?

Queen Ma felt that he didn't know anything.

"Ye Xuan is really our think tank."

"Like a worm in the belly."

"We were worried about how to deal with those corrupt officials, and Huixuan came up with a solution for us."

"Hahaha... We made the right decision by letting him be the emperor's grandson's teacher.

Zhu Yuanzhang even boasted proudly.

Queen Ma:………………

She had to interrupt.

"Chongpachi, didn't you say you have four suggestions?"

"You just said three things."

*:.......

The last one, he didn't really want to say.

"Article 4... is to increase the salaries of officials and establish an integrity fund."

"Let's just talk."

"Officials work for Ming Dynasty and they work for us."

"It's an honor for them."

"They should be grateful if they can get their salary.

"He actually asked for a salary increase."

"This is simply unreasonable."

Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was full of resentment.

"Sister, it's up to you to judge.

"Are we right?"

Queen Ma:…………

She thinks Ye Xuan's words are quite reasonable.

Official salaries in the Ming Dynasty were indeed too low.

Only by increasing the salaries of Ming officials can they no longer worry about firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and can concentrate on serving the Ming Dynasty and the people.

Queen Ma persuaded her.

Soothe Zhu Yuanzhang's violent temper.

After such persuasion, Zhu Yuanzhang became more willing.

Overall, Zhu Yuanzhang was in a good mood at this time.

Just implement Ye Xuan's four suggestions.

It will definitely reduce the number of corrupt officials.

Let the Ming Dynasty become pure and honest!

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's happy appearance and felt that now was a good time.

She opened her mouth and said:

"Jungpachi."

"Liu Bowen came to see me some time ago."

"What does he want from you?"

Zhu Yuanzhang realized something, his face changed and became gloomy.

"Chongba, Liu Bowen has done so many things for the Ming Dynasty. There is no credit but hard work. Now that he is old, how about you let him live in seclusion?"

"Liu Bowen is just too arrogant!"

"We think he doesn't like us as the emperor and doesn't want to help us."

Zhu Yuanzhang's tone was cold.

Let Liu Bowen go into seclusion?

That is impossible.

Liu Bowen is extremely smart.

Let him leave the capital.

Zhu Yuanzhang was worried.

Only by keeping Liu Bowen under his nose, that is, trapped in the capital, could Yuanzhang be careful.

Queen Ma was a little angry after hearing this.

"Chongba, don't you even want to listen to what I have to say?"

"You don't even want Liu Bowen to go into seclusion."

"Maybe you still want to kill him."

"How about you kill me and my concubines together?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was helpless.

"You are the wife of our mediator. How could we kill you?"

"Liu Bowen is different."

"He can't let go."

Zhu Yuanzhang coaxed the angry Queen Ma, but refused to let go.
