Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

"Even if you have other arrangements, it would be inappropriate for me, as the supervisor here, to not even have a say."

Several horses stepped on the snow, splashing black snow debris along the way... As Yang Daqiang's deep voice came from far away, it carried a hint of dissatisfaction and arrogance.

Although he was only an official of a hundred households.

But he had been a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard since the previous dynasty, and it was still the same in the new dynasty - he was the emperor's close attendant, and wherever he went, he held his head high and his nose to the sky. Everyone was afraid of him and dared not offend him. Even high-ranking officials in the court had to give the Embroidered Uniform Guard some face.

And now.

There was nothing wrong with Zhuo Jing, the so-called imperial envoy, inspecting his territory under imperial order, but the accounts had already been checked yesterday, and the auditor himself said that he didn't find any problems. Yet, this guy acted as if he had to find out something.

Yang Daqiang was already angry about this.

Today, without even any notice, they sent troops to surround the mine under his control!

How could Yang Daqiang, a tyrannical Jinyiwei, not be dissatisfied? Even facing this imperial envoy, he couldn't help but speak impolitely.

This is also one of the reasons why Zhu Yunhuan set up the Audit Bureau early on.

The most unreliable thing in this world is the human heart.

Regardless of whether you're blood is thicker than water, or you're the emperor's attendant... or any other status or position, once you have power, favor, ability, and authority, there will always be people who take advantage of it, become arrogant, and develop inappropriate thoughts and misconceptions...

Therefore, constraints and checks and balances are necessary means.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard is now his only support in the palace, so the emergence of people like Yang Daqiang is inevitable.

As for Zhuo Jing.

He is an upright man who does not care about the ties between his nine clans. Although the name of Jinyiwei is intimidating and frightening, he is not afraid.

He scoffed and sneered, "Ha! Captain Yang! If I had told you about this in advance, wouldn't I have been unable to complete this mission? What crime have you been responsible for running the mine like this?"

When he said the last sentence, his tone suddenly became extremely harsh, filled with anger from the bottom of his heart...

Of course he knew that Yang Daqiang himself didn't know about this, but there were so many suffering people here, and as the person in charge of supervision, he didn't notice it at all, so of course he was also wrong!

Yang Daqiang pulled the reins and stopped his horse.

He probably didn't react to what was happening here for a moment, and his face showed even more displeasure. He was about to open his mouth to say something, but the next moment, his mouth remained in an "o" shape and he froze on the horse's back.

He saw the miners in the mine who were still in a daze and had not reacted at all. He also saw their emaciated bodies and the bloodstains on their faces and bodies.

How can this be what a miner should be like?!

Be stunned for a moment.

Yang Daqiang forced his mouth shut, his face pale as he swallowed his saliva, and muttered absentmindedly, "What...what is going on?!"

He didn't know what exactly happened in the mine, nor did he know why all the miners here looked like this.

But he knew one thing.

If the higher-ups found out there were a group of miners like this in this mine, it would be a heinous crime!!

For nothing else.

He did not forget that his top superior, Song Zhong, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, had personally and sternly lectured them: you must strictly follow the regulations from beginning to end!

Moreover, this mining operation was not done by conscripting civilians for labor, but by hiring workers for money. This money was not even paid from the national treasury, but from His Majesty's own pocket! This shows the attitude of the emperor towards these civilian miners.

Now this happened...
