Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 165

Since the world is privately owned.

The inheritance of imperial power and throne is naturally handled by one surname.

Therefore, the imperial power thing is mostly continued by the same method of transmission as AIDS.

Unless you can build an empire from scratch, that's not within the scope of this spread.

Only in this way can a hierarchical order of king, king, minister, father, father and son be maintained.

Zhu Yuanzhang's art of controlling people was self-taught.

After years of hard work learning theory and practical operations, he became more and more proficient.

Zhu Yuanzhang used the "back-word method" to test Wang Buli.

If Wang Buli succeeds, it will be easy to talk about in the future. If he fails, then he will have a different attitude.

Zhu Biao has now learned the basic methods of luring people with benefits and threatening them with criminal law.

He still had a lot to learn in the imperial arts, so in some governance methods, Zhu Yuanzhang felt that his son was still very immature and he had to control him well.

Mao Xiang galloped on his horse. After arriving at the imperial city, he dismounted and galloped to report to the emperor.

After he finished speaking out of breath, Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the table heavily:

"I specially sent someone to warn him. Wang Buli is still so impulsive. It will be difficult for him to occupy a high position in the court in the future!"

Zhu Biao listened to his father's words and remembered what his father had just said.

Pretend to be deaf and dumb, pretend to be confused.

A monarch must be good at concealing his true intentions.

“See but not see, hear but not hear, know but not know.”

Only in this way can your subordinates not guess your thoughts and not dare to play tricks on you easily.

Zhu Biao looked at his father, gave him a look, and said quickly:

"Dad, my brother-in-law is indeed a little impulsive and a little younger. He still needs to practice more."

"I know he is young, so I just promoted him from a minor official to the position of a classics official.

If it were done to him, a high-ranking official of the third or fifth grade, he would definitely poke a hole in the sky. How could this be done? "

Zhu Yuanzhang's words caused Zhu Biao to be down for a while, not knowing how to continue.

Mao Xiang kept staring at his head. He just felt something was wrong.

Because the emperor just lifted it up heavily and put it down gently, and did not say any substantial punishment for Wang Buli.

Sure enough, even though his son-in-law is half a son-in-law, after all, His Majesty still protects his son-in-law.

At this time, the face of Zhangshan, the Minister of Rites, who had entered the imperial city, became red and swollen, and blood flowed out.

The sweat from the hot day stung his face.

But Zhang Shan persisted and first went to Prime Minister Hu Weiyong to report the matter and asked him to report to the emperor together.

Hu Weiyong was also stunned.

There is no such scheming person as Li Shanchang around him to remind him, and he cannot understand Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts at all.

Liu Bowen was also buried in the soil, and Li Shanchang stayed away from the court.

It can be said that there are no people who understand Zhu Yuanzhang.

"You mean Wang Buli killed a member of the Ryukyu Kingdom's mission in the street and paraded them away with their heads?"

"good."

"It's so arrogant!" Chen Ning couldn't help scolding him.

"The injury on your face was also caused by Wang Buli?"

Hearing Tu Jie's question, Zhang Shan shook his head: "His Royal Highness, King Yan, beat him this time."

His Royal Highness Prince Yan all sided with Wang Buli, which sounded a bit tricky.

But thinking from another direction, that is that Wang Buli had an affair with the vassal king!

Hu Weiyong immediately spoke in the midst of lightning and flint:

"This matter is not trivial and cannot be neglected. Follow me immediately to report to His Majesty."

The group immediately went to Zhu Yuanzhang's office.

Zhang Shan's appearance was even more miserable. He knelt on the ground and cried out about Wang Buli's atrocity of killing the envoy!

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang was listening to Zhang Shan's report, and resentment had already arisen in his heart. He hated such courtiers who made trouble the most.

Hu Weiyong secretly looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's face and saw that he was already angry, so he quickly stopped him:

"Your Majesty, Prince Consort Buli is young and impulsive. I believe he must have been deceived by others to make such a mistake."

"Well, what Prime Minister Hu said is reasonable. What Wang Buli did in this matter was indeed wrong."

Zhu Yuanzhang echoed Hu Weiyong, and then changed the topic:

"But let's talk about Zhang Shangshu publicly saying that the prince broke the law and the common people were guilty, and you ordered the soldiers to capture the prince's consort, Bu Li."

Hu Weiyong's expression changed, and he looked at Zhang Shan who was kneeling on the ground in disbelief.

You dare to say anything.

Don't take me with you if you want to die!

This is a topic that no one can touch.

Hu Weiyong, who had served Zhu Yuanzhang for many years, immediately grasped the key point. This matter was more serious than Wang Buli killing the envoy in the street.

"Did you say that?"

Hu Weiyong immediately started cutting and angrily scolded Zhang Shan:

"Why didn't you explain the matter to the truth? I hope His Highness King Yan will give you a whip.

Let us see, even a whip given to you is light. "

Zhang Shan was now sweating hotly on his head, and there was heat coming out of his hair.

He murmured speechlessly.

"Your Majesty, I told the prince to stop him, but he didn't listen to me. He didn't even want to read the prince's handwriting. He also said that the prince was deceived by you. I, I said this to stop him."

"Let me ask you, did you say this in public?"

"My lord, my lord, I said so."

Zhang Shan seemed to have lost all his strength. Since the emperor knew it, he was already at fault for not telling the truth completely.

"One hundred sticks."

Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and someone took Zhang Shan out and started to play.

popping.

The wooden board hit Zhang Shan's body one after another, and the screams were heard in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang then said: "Prime Minister Hu, what do you think we should do about our son-in-law killing the Ryukyu envoy in the street?"

Listening to the screams coming from outside, Hu Weiyong was also trembling in his heart.

If Zhang Shan is beaten with a hundred sticks, his life or death will be a problem!

Hu Weiyong ran out of ideas for a moment, and then he bowed and said: "Your Majesty, the consort is the son-in-law of the emperor. Others are not allowed to interrogate him at will. Your Majesty still needs to decide how to punish him."

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and thought deeply, then looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao could only bite the bullet and said: "Father, brother-in-law, he is the history of Jiangning County. There was a murder case in his jurisdiction. After solving the case, he arrested the murderer and brought justice to the people. In the final analysis, he was not at fault."

"What Biao'er said is reasonable. My son-in-law enforces the law fairly and has no personal enmity with the Ryukyu Kingdom's envoy. If the Ryukyu Kingdom's envoy hadn't casually killed two of my Ming Dynasties, it would be reasonable to ask him to apologize for his life.

Anyway, everyone dies. I have sentenced a stupid case today, and I will be able to pass another sentence. "

Zhu Biao bowed and said nothing more.

"Hu Xiang, what do you think?"

In the morning, several people tried to offend the Ryukyu State envoy, but Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye.

After listening to their advice, they released the Ryukyu envoy, but he was hacked to death by Wang Buli at noon. In the afternoon, Zhu Yuanzhang turned a blind eye to this matter and passed it by lightly.

The sound of beatings outside the hall stopped, and the guards entered the hall to report.

It is said that the Minister of Rites cannot bear the punishment of war.

Damn it!

Hu Weiyong's expression changed again.

Sure enough, no one can touch the heirs of the old Long family unless he wants to.

Even Chen Ning, who was cold-blooded by nature, was also shocked. This was a dignified third-grade official, the Minister of Rites, who was beaten to death outside the main hall.

Tu Jie had begun to tremble uncontrollably.

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the emperor's throne, was still waiting for his answer, Hu Weiyong immediately said: "Your Majesty, I think what the prince said makes sense."

"The prince is always kind, and I want to hear your advice."

Hu Weiyong also knew that Zhu Yuanzhang was dissatisfied with Yuan Kai's answers to both ends and "drove him crazy". He held on and said:

"The impact of killing someone on the street is too great. I suggest that we still impose a three-month salary penalty to serve as a warning to the Prince Consort."

"A fine is a good idea."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly and asked Zhongshu Sheng to write a memorial on the fine. After approval, it would be sent to the Ministry of Personnel.

Hu Weiyong and others came out of the main hall and saw Zhang Shan, the Minister of Rites, who had been beaten to death. They all felt chills on their backs.

He was looking for death on his own, and he dared to say that, and he almost got us in trouble.

Hu Weiyong flicked his sleeves and went back to work without even looking at Zhang Shan's body.

After seeing those people leave, Zhu Biao listened to Zhu Yuanzhang telling him some methods of imperial arts, asking him to find opportunities to verify them himself in the future so that he could master them.

The emperor possesses supreme power. He can kill anyone, no matter how high-ranking they are. There is no need to beat them with a hundred sticks without him having to do so.

Generally speaking, the maximization of the emperor's personal interests and the maximization of the empire's interests are sometimes not completely consistent.

The emperor reigns for life.

He could pass on the costs and risks of his misdeeds to the entire empire and future generations.

But conversely, a considerable proportion of the benefits brought by carefully maintaining the imperial order belong to the beneficiaries of all aspects of the imperial order, and the hard work belongs entirely to oneself.

Zhu Yuanzhang is indeed a rare person who has both positive and negative aspects.

Therefore, the tyrants, foolish kings and mediocre kings in history occupy a large space, but the wise kings are as low as the stars in the morning.

Compared with the limited number of honest officials, yamen and officials who abuse their power for personal gain account for the majority.

Ming Dynasty needs to bear the shortcomings of the official agency system, because one family cannot control the world, and it needs shepherd dogs.

It's just that the relationship between officials and the people is more fragile. These officials who replace the emperor's sheep are hired to herd other people's sheep. They are less concerned about the life and death of the people than the aristocratic group.

Anyway, the world doesn't belong to my family, so many officials don't care about the lives of ordinary people.

Just like the newlyweds who were killed in Yong'an Village, no one cared about their life or death.

In addition, small farmers have a high level of economic self-sufficiency, so as long as they are not forced to a certain extent, the people can tolerate the extortion of corrupt officials.

In the history of more than two thousand years, each empire has been inheriting the system of the previous dynasty and constantly fixing bugs.

The Qin Dynasty abolished feudalism and adopted the system of prefectures and counties.

During the Han Dynasty, when the feudal vassals were reduced, Confucianism was the sole focus.

The Sui and Tang Dynasties invented the imperial examination system for selecting talents.

The Song Dynasty restricted military generals and desperately advocated the argument of having its own golden house in the book to avoid the emergence of vassal towns. After local dominance, they would counterattack the central government.

After the Ming Dynasty abolished the prime minister, it invented the cabinet system to replace the power of the prime minister, and the factory guard system to improve the emperor's personal monitoring ability.

But fundamentally speaking, there has never been an effective check and balance of power in any dynasty or generation.

Jiangning County Government Office.

Three villagers in Yong'an Village were so frightened by the appearance of Wang Buli that the murderous god appeared that they could not eat.

When others discussed and learned that what Mr. Dianshi was carrying was the head of the murderer of Yu Sheng and his wife, the three of them became bolder again.

They didn't expect that Mr. Dianshi would handle the case so quickly, and he would kill the person if he wanted to. They thought they had to go to Sanshan Street to watch the execution.
