Chapter 1197: The murderous Zhu Yuanzhang
The suffering of the people was not a fart in Qianlong's eyes, and he asked the two officials involved to investigate the victims who had been sued, and finally killed them for treason.
As for the two officials who poisoned the people, they were promoted because of their strength!
Those who were victims of the disaster were beheaded if they dared to resist, and officials who were greedy for disaster relief money and food were promoted because of this!
In Qianlong's eyes, he is his father, the officials are his sons, the people are his grandsons, it is normal for a son to beat his grandson, and if he is killed, he will also teach his son a lesson.
But your grandson is being bullied, and he can only wait, not resist, even if he is beaten to death. If you dare to resist, you will mess up Gangchang, and I will cut off your head!
The two disaster relief cases showed Qianlong's thoughts, but the funny thing is that I don't know when it started, Qianlong turned out to be a Ming Jun who loved the people like a son and made a decision with clarity, and even the story of "Shandong Disaster Relief Case, a group of actors relied on wit to let Qianlong discover the greed of his group of dog minions and avenge the people", which is not ridiculous enough.
……
As for the third matter, it was not a disaster relief case, but the people gave their opinions to the emperor.
Also during the Qianlong period, an old man named Wu Ying felt that he was dying, and he was a little unwilling, so he wrote down his loyalty to the country on paper, and handed over his advice when the officials were patrolling the streets.
In his advice, he hoped that the government could reduce money and grain, reduce the burden on the bottom, and set up "social welfare warehouses" in various localities to relieve the poor, eliminate the joint robbery of salt merchants, and reduce the burden on society.
It looks really good, and it is all content that is beneficial to the people of the country, Wu Ying feels that he is dying, even if he doesn't listen to it, at most, he will die two days early, leaving a clear name.
The result?
Wu Ying's execution by Ling Chi is the so-called "Thousand Cuts" and "Fish Scale Cuts", which is one of the most painful ways to die in ancient times.
This is not the end, his younger brother, son and nephew were sentenced to behead and imprisoned, and all the women and children in the family were slaved to the heroes, and they could never be detached.
This is a case that Lin Mu learned in "There Are Police in the World" in his previous life.
It sounds ridiculous, Qianlong is ridiculous, this old man named "Wu Ying" is even more ridiculous, in the Qing Dynasty, he really thought that Qianlong was a Ming Jun, so blind, disaster to his family, it is not a pity to die.
……
Such three cases, although they are all in the Qianlong period, can almost show the attitude of the Qing Dynasty emperors, including Kangxi, towards the people, what they want is "peace in the world", the dung pit can smell bad, no matter how rotten it is, it can stink, but as long as there is a layer of dung wrapped on it, don't let yourself smell it.
You can't solve the problem yourself, but you can solve the person who raised the problem.
Such an emperor is praised in the history books for all kinds of merits.
The third thing is to admonish, not to mention him, only to say that the first two real disaster relief cases, if they were placed in the early Ming Dynasty under Zhu Yuanzhang's rule, how would they be handled?
It's simple, peel and weed!
It's just that unlike the Qing Dynasty, which used torture on the people, and the cruel punishment of "skinning" like "Ling Chi", Zhu Yuanzhang only used it on money-greedy officials.
During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, if you don't have 60 taels of silver, you will be killed!
After he was killed, he peeled the skin and pulled the grass, and put it in the yamen, next to the official seat.
Think about it, a county official is dealing with a case, and there is a "human skin pocket" next to him all day long, what kind of scared person should he be?
Pour boiling water on the greedy official, and then brush him again and again with an iron brush until the flesh and bones are separated......
Hang the money greedy officer on an iron hook and dry it......
castration, digging of knees......
All kinds of torture are basically set up for those money-greedy officials.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang's sentence was too heavy and the remuneration given to officials was too small, so that under such torture, corrupt officials went forward and killed endlessly, but it is undeniable that Zhu Yuanzhang has a very firm position on the issue of "thieves who harm the people".
Although it is said that among these officials, it is very unjust to be skinned for dozens of taels, but it is better for a family to cry than for a family, standing in the position of the people, will the people hate such Zhu Yuanzhang and call him a "murderous tyrant"?
No!
Who spread Zhu Wuzhang's "notoriety of murder", and the people would say that about him?
Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang has created a limit in dealing with the problem of harming the people and thieves throughout the ages.
For example, the two disaster relief cases just now in Qianlong, put them in Zhu Yuanzhang's case, and the people were harmed by the officials and had no way to live, what way was there to redress their grievances?
Sue the royal court?
No!
Escort the money-greedy official directly to the capital!
During the period of Zhu Yuanzhang, there was really such a thing, Guo Xuaner, a citizen of Jiading County, and others, went to Beijing with the "Great Message" to sue the county leader Yang Fengchun and other people who were harmed. After the incident, Ma Dewang was beheaded for public display, and He Tianguan was cut off and his feet were flailed for public display.
In the Qing Dynasty, or even in any other dynasty, dare to think of this?
But in Zhu Yuanzhang's place, everything became very normal, he directly tied up the official, held the "Great Message", and sent it directly to the capital, all the way unimpeded, came to Zhu Yuanzhang, brought the people and thieves to justice, and the people who were escorted were rewarded for this.
Incredible, right?
What is even more incredible is that it was written into the law.
At that time, if there was no way to redress grievances, the people could directly escort the money-greedy officials to the capital with the "Great Message" in their hands and hand them over to the emperor for trial, and no one could stop them.
The "Great Decree" also allowed ordinary people to rush in through the small gate of the official office, arrest the officials who committed crimes, and send them directly to the capital to be brought to justice, and the officials along the way were not allowed to intercept them. This is unique in China's thousands of years of history.
This is just one aspect of Zhu Yuanzhang's governance, saying that he is governing the country is actually more like governing officials.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's case, in dealing with money corrupt officials, in addition to the above-mentioned strict punishment and strict laws to deal with money corrupt officials, and allowing and even supporting the people to accuse and arrest officials, there are also relevant methods for dealing with officials whose crimes are relatively minor.
For example, in the Ming Dynasty, local officials went to Beijing once every three years to make a pilgrimage to report on their work, and the emperor was usually going to give a banquet.
Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated: Those who have made outstanding achievements in politics and are honest and honest officials will be given seats and eaten while sitting; ordinary officials will have a banquet but no seats, and they will eat standing up; inferior officials and mediocre officials, without banquets and no seats, will line up at the door and wait for others to eat, and only after they have enough wine and food inside to leave the table, they will be allowed to leave.
That's it?
No!
Officials who have done good deeds will make meritorious contributions to the Shi Shan Pavilion in their hometowns, and those who have done bad deeds will publicize them in their hometowns, causing people to scorn them.
And those officials who have been placed on probation for crimes and have been exonerated and reinstated are even more ruthless, directly posting their past mistakes on the doors of their own homes as a warning, and if they still reflect on them, they will be punished according to law.
The magistrate punished him like this, and the senior officials of the Beijing division also dealt with it in this way, and the corpses on the street after the execution were just ordinary, and what made Zhu Yuanzhang hate the most by those thieves was that he did not have the idea of "the law does not blame the public" in his heart.
One person is greedy?
Kill!
Hundreds of people are greedy?
Kill!
Tens of thousands of people are greedy?
If you have violated the law of the country, why don't you kill?!
