Chapter 123

[The Four Major Cases of Science Popularization and Hongwu!]

[1: Hu Weiyong's case. 】

[Hu Weiyong was originally a native of Dingyuan, Haozhou, and took refuge in Zhu Yuanzhang in 1355, and was regarded as Zhu Yuanzhang's hometown. 】

[Later, he fought the world with Zhu Yuanzhang and was one of the founders of the Ming Dynasty. 】

[In the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), due to the recommendation of Li Shanchang, the official was promoted to the right prime minister. 】

[In the tenth year of Hongwu (1377), the official worshiped the prime minister of Zuo, ranking first among the hundred officials, under one person, and above ten thousand. 】

[In the tenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong at that time had been the prime minister for 7 years and was an official for seven years. 】

[He spared no effort to crack down on different parties, support party henchmen, and interfere too much in major cases, but did not ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions, which made Zhu Yuanzhang, who had a strong desire for power, feel the crisis of the prime minister's dictatorship and the emperor's uselessness. 】

[Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has always wanted to abolish the position of prime minister. 】

[Why?]

[Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, the world was fought down by me, and the world that I fought hard to fight, why should I divide power by one person!]

[However, the prime minister system has existed for many years. 】

[Except for Zhu Yuanzhang himself, everyone thinks that the position of prime minister is indispensable, and if this position is to be abolished, it is difficult to complete without a valid reason. 】

[So, he has been silently watching Hu Weiyong, waiting for an opportunity to abolish the prime minister system. 】

[As the saying goes, there is a policy above, and there is a countermeasure below. 】

[Hu Weiyong can sit in the position of prime minister, naturally he is not stupid. 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to do something to him, why didn't he understand. 】

[So, he thought of a brilliant countermeasure - pulling people into the water!]

[As the saying goes, the law does not blame the public. 】

[Hu Weiyong thinks that as long as enough ministers are pulled into the water. 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang, can he still kill all the officials?]

[He acted quickly and co-opted a large number of ministers from the DPRK and China. 】

[And the last person he chose was the person who fought the world with Zhu Yuanzhang back then, Li Shanchang. 】

[The reason for wooing Li Shanchang is very simple. 】

[He is the founding father of the People's Republic of China and is highly respected, not to mention that Li Shanchang has an iron scroll from death given by Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[After trying his best, he finally succeeded in winning over Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong thought to himself, now that the Manchu Dynasty has my people, what can you Zhu Yuanzhang do to me?]

[And after Zhu Yuanzhang knew, he also issued a very simple order to 447: "Kill them all.] "。】

[So, soon, Zhu Yuanzhang made a move towards Hu Weiyong!]

[The fuse of the matter:]

[Once, when Hu Weiyong's son was riding a horse, he accidentally fell under the wheel of the carriage and was crushed to death by the carriage. 】

[When Hu Weiyong heard that his son was dead, he killed the coachman directly in a fit of rage, but did not notify the department in charge of justice. 】

[Originally, this matter was not a big deal. 】

[But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang has been waiting to move him, and this matter is an opportunity. 】

[Here's your chance.] 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Hu Weiyong to enter the palace to explain this matter. 】

[And Hu Weiyong actually thought of an excuse a long time ago, and as soon as he entered the palace, he began to cry about how pitiful he was, but he didn't see Zhu Yuanzhang's cold eyes. 】

[At this time, Hu Weiyong finally understood why Li Shanchang was unwilling to be an enemy of Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[Not because he's old, but because he's afraid!]

【...】

[The case really broke out:]

[In the twelfth year of Hongwu, Zhanguo City came to pay tribute, but Hu Weiyong and others did not report to Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[When the eunuch found out, he went into the palace to tell Zhu Yuanzhang. 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang was furious! He severely punished Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang, who were in charge of this matter. 】

[Hu Weiyong's handling of this matter, of course, was to admit his mistake, and he put the responsibility on the Ministry of Rites, thinking that this would be fine. 】

[And Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite neat, directly executed Wang Guangyang, and connected all the officials related to this matter!]

[Since I don't know whose fault it is. 】

[Then if I kill you all, there will be no mistake!]

[Subsequently, Hu Weiyong's confidant Tujie denounced Hu Weiyong and told Zhu Yuanzhang all his conspiracies. 】

[And what Zhu Yuanzhang is waiting for is also this moment. 】

[He immediately executed Hu Weiyong and exterminated Hu Weiyong's three clans!

[So in this way, the case of Hu Weiyong, a celebrity through the ages, kicked off. 】

[Because there were too many people involved in the case (CDBE), it was very simple to arrest people at that time, as long as there was a little suspicion, they were directly dragged to prison. 】

[In this way, the case is getting bigger and bigger.] 】

[From the beginning of the case to the end of the case, a total of more than 10,000 people were killed. 】

[But Hu Weiyong's case has not subsided. 】

[After Hu Weiyong's death, his conspiracy to rebel has not yet been fully exposed. 】

[In the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385), Li Cunyi was surrendered and denounced, so he was spared death and placed in Chongming. 】

[In October of the nineteenth year of Hongwu (1386), the Lin Xian prison case was completed, and only the matter of Yong Tongwei was revealed. 】

[In May of the twenty-third year of Hongwu (1390), the matter was revealed, Feng Ji was arrested, and the situation at that time was tried, and Hu Weiyong's conspiracy was further revealed. 】

[It happened that Li Shanchang's house slave Lu Zhongqian turned himself in and reported Li Shanchang's dealings with Wei Yong, and Lu Zhongheng's house slave Feng Tiemu also turned himself in to accuse Lu Zhongheng of conspiring with Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju, Zhao Yong and Hu Weiyong. 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang was furious, purged the rebels, the words were connected, and more than 30,000 people were killed. 】

[So he made "Showing the Traitorous Party Record" and announced it to the world. 】

[This case has not been cleared up until several years later. 】

【......】

[And Zhu Yuanzhang achieved his goal. 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the prime minister system, reformed the province, and strictly stipulated that the heir could no longer be appointed as a prime minister; those who dared to ask for the establishment of the prime minister were punished with heavy punishment. After the abolition of the prime minister, the matter was divided into six parts, and the emperor had supreme power, and the centralization of power was further strengthened. 】

【......】

The ancient people stared at the sky.

Forgot to even gasp!

Ha?

This is soft-heartedness???

casually shot, killed tens of thousands of officials!!

Zhu Yuanzhang is too ruthless!"

"Ah, tens of thousands of officials were killed like this?"

"Good boy, it's scary!"

"Fortunately, the people who killed were all officials, and there was nothing to feel sorry for. "

“......"

That's right!

Everyone reacted.

Almost all the officials killed by Zhu Yuanzhang broke the law, they should be killed!

For the official is not benevolent, knowing the law and breaking the law!

should be punished just like the common people!

After thinking it through, the people were not afraid, and they still had a posture of watching fun.

Qin Dynasty.

Fusu's eyes widened in horror.

muttered: "Tens of thousands of people, just kill like this?"

"Butcher!

"You're also a Mingjun?"

Fusu was directly stunned. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And Ying Zheng was also stunned.

In disbelief, he asked, "Soft-hearted?"

He immediately noticed that this time the popular science was not serious.

It should be the other way around.

Ruthless!

In addition, he has some pride in his heart.

The prime minister system established by him has been inherited for thousands of years!

It was not abolished until Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor.

Han dynasty.

Bang!

The wine glass in Liu Bang's hand fell to the ground.

His attention was all on the light curtain, and for a moment he forgot that there was something in his hand.

His lips opened and closed.

I don't know how to describe my feelings. []

Ruthless Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

Another dynasty.

Liu Che swallowed.

He never thought that the light curtain would tease him once!

This can't be beaten with a soft-hearted eight poles!

Tang dynasty.

A group of civil officials and military generals looked at each other, still in confusion.

The reversal is too fast and too strong to be accepted for a short time.

Li Shimin pressed one hand on his forehead.

"Let me take care of it..."

"In order to consolidate the imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang took the prime minister. "

"Tens of thousands of people were killed for this. "

"I said that the emperor has nothing to do with soft-heartedness. "

Ming dynasty.

The strongest reaction was among the Ming officials.

They were all stupefied!!

Your Majesty, he, he's so ruthless!

In order to abolish the prime minister system, he deliberately connived at Hu Weiyong, and then completely liquidated when the time came.

And killed tens of thousands of people!

All the ministers glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang in horror, and their bodies unconsciously moved away from Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

For fear of splashing his own blood.

Li Shanchang's face was full of beads of sweat.

He's got two death-free scrolls!

Isn't it all useless?

The position of prime minister can't stay anymore.

I don't know when I was killed.

Li Shanchang was very aware of current affairs, and immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty, the minister is guilty, please punish Your Majesty!"

And under Hu Weiyong's official uniform, a little liquid oozed.

He was so scared.

All three of their own clans have been leveled!

also carried it, killing tens of thousands of officials and ministers!

He also knelt on the ground tremblingly and shouted: "Minister, the minister Hu Weiyong is also guilty, please punish Your Majesty." "

Meanwhile.

More officials who were closer to Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang knelt down.

"Your Majesty, please punish you. "

The party Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely helpless.

How can my inner thoughts be exposed like this!?

He also thought about quietly planning to abolish the prime minister system when the time came.

Now, it doesn't seem like an easy thing to do...

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, Li Shanchang added: "The minister is willing to resign from the post of prime minister and let His Majesty punish him!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

He looked at his old friend Li Shanchang, and to be honest, he didn't want to kill this old friend.

But the emperor is ruthless.

Rather than being killed later, it is better to let an old friend go home to support his old age.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, and nodded with difficulty: "Okay, for the sake of your past achievements, the punishment is all exempted, let's give you three thousand taels of silver, and you can go home to retire after the New Year." "

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty. Li Shanchang kowtowed wildly.

Finally saved his life.

It will take a few more months, but it will be the best result.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the other ministers, "Li Shan is going to return to his hometown after a long year and resign from the post of prime minister, who of you want to be recommended to become prime minister?"

"No, no!"

The ministers shook their heads like rattles.

Knowing that the prime minister will die, who is still in a hurry to be reincarnated?

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Hey, is there really no one?"

"No, no, no. "

"Well, since no one wants to be the prime minister, let's cancel the post of prime minister, do you have any objections?"

"No, no, no. "

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be sad and nodded.

"Okay, pass on our will, and after Li Shanchang resigns as prime minister, the prime minister system will be abolished. "

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The officials shouted.
