"I don't care if you embezzle, line your own pockets, or even disregard human lives, but have you completed the tasks I assigned you?
Don't give me your excuses and reasons. The process doesn't matter; the result is that you have messed up the tasks!
I reward those who do well and punish those who err. Since you did not complete your tasks, your positions will be demoted by three levels.
Those who have worked hard and completed their tasks will take your place. If anyone disagrees, you can choose to resign. I will sign immediately!" Zhu Wencong furiously scolded the bureaucrats in front of him.
The bureaucrats looked at each other, unable to raise their heads or dare to meet Zhu Wencong's gaze, like children who had done something wrong.
The imperial authority emanating from Zhu Wencong far exceeded that of Alexander II, possibly influenced by being a monarch of a different surname.
