Chapter 314: The Ruler

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zhang Anmin indifferently and said, "Although the sons of your family are not guilty, they haven't done anything good over the years.........

Zhang Anmin slammed his head on the ground: "The minister knows that he didn't teach them well, but the minister is a father after all, and now he is going to die, that is, he knows that there is little hope, but he also wants to ask for it, whether it is successful or not, the minister is blind to death." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored him, looked at the rest of the civil officials with dark expressions and said: "If you don't die until the Yellow River, you are talking about you, since this is the case, then go back to the house and wait, who can escape?" ”

The civil and military officials knelt on the ground neatly: "The ministers are guilty, please calm the anger of the saint and focus on the dragon body, I will not be without the saint for a day." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up and was about to leave, since he still didn't give up, then continue, he wanted to see how many people could stand up.

Wang Guangyang hurriedly walked a few steps: "The minister was ordered to be the assistant of the Son of Heaven, but it is a pity that he is not Wang Zuozhi's talent, and he has been raised by the grace of the saint so far, and he has no merit in governing the country and the people, but he has the fault of not being strict with the emperor, and he also asked the saint to punish the officials severely, and the minister is willing to accept it!" ”

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Hu Weiyong scolded the officials behind him: "The saint is the true dragon emperor, how can you hide the past with your little cleverness, what is the benefit of delaying it any longer, the saint shows you mercy everywhere, are you still not satisfied!" ”

Zhu Biao also spoke: "Although the favoritism and greed have not happened, they will inevitably be in fear all day long, and they will not be able to sleep at night, so what's the fun of living like this, confessing their sins earlier and pleading for you, at least to protect innocent children with a way to live, and you can also have a bloodline." ”

Zhu Biaodao didn't pity them, but he really didn't want to delay the operation of the government because of the lives and deaths of these people, there are so many things in the world, and if a small thing is not handled well, it is easy to make a big mess, how can there be time to waste time with them.

Some officials silently stood up and took off their black gauze hats and knelt down beside Zhang Anmin and others, although they didn't say a word, but their attitude was there, and the nobles watched silently, even though the civil and military were separated, they suddenly felt the feeling of the rabbit dying and the fox being sad and hurting.

Hu Weiyong lowered his head, his eyes contained rich emotions, and the civil officials were powerless to resist until death, but they were just fish and meat under the knife, and the only way to protect themselves under the imperial power was the military power!

Zhu Yuanzhang saw that everyone was almost the same, and then he opened his mouth and said in a deep voice: "Etiquette, righteousness, honesty and shame are the four dimensions of the country, and if the country is not allowed to perish, you are all high and powerful officials of the imperial court, since the founding of the country, I have not admonished you less, right?" ”

In the final analysis, why have you come to this day, not because of greed, greedy words on and now, today's treasure is a momentary wealth, sooner or later it is a life-seeking thing, why don't you increase your memory! Do you think that we will estimate what law will not be held accountable to the public, and tell you, we will use the heads of you people to warn the latecomers, I will never have the slightest tolerance for those who are corrupt and pervert the law, even if there are more, we will never forgive! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's anger that he endured for a day finally broke out, as if the pressure of the sky falling smashed into the hearts of the officials, but they knew that they would die and were powerless to beg for mercy, so they just begged Zhu Yuanzhang not to torture them anymore and give them a good time.

Zhu Yuanzhang took a few deep breaths and said: "Since ancient times, it is easy to sit in the world, and it is difficult to rule the people in the Ming Dynasty, but among you, there are people who are constantly greedy and corrupt and corrupt the people's hearts!" ”

"When the Yuan Dynasty was at its peak, it was invincible, who dared to touch its edge? As a result, but once in a hundred years, it was overturned, is Zhang Shicheng and Chen Youliang capable or I, Zhu Yuanzhang, have the ability? Yuan Ye, the one who destroys the Yuan, is the corrupt and bullying of his national politics, oppression of the people and the exclusion of dissidents, and the people are angry and resentful, so how can he not perish? Now do you want me to step into the mistakes of the Yuan Dynasty! ”

As soon as these words came out, even Zhu Biao knelt down and asked the saint to calm his anger, Zhu Yuanzhang sat back on the dragon chair and suddenly said: "Prince, how did Xunzi talk about it?" ”

Zhu Biao naturally knew that his father was asking about that paragraph, and said in a deep voice: "The mouth can speak, the body can act, and the national treasure is also." The mouth can't speak, the body can do it, and the national weapon is also. The mouth can speak, but the body can't do it, and the country can use it. Words are good, deeds are evil, and the national demon is also. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the officials below with different thoughts and then asked: "In the face of these people, how should the monarch choose?" ”

Zhu Biao straightened his waist and replied: "Those who govern the country respect their treasures, love their weapons, let them be used, and get rid of their demons!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction and said, "In the future, you should keep it in mind and not forget!" ”

"Yan Donglai, the secretary of Dali Temple, immediately put these officials in prison, find out the crime within three days, and whoever embezzles more than 60 taels of silver will be sentenced to death, and anyone who is implicated in the case of Song Nanhai will be sentenced to death by Ling Chi!"

Zhu Biao immediately said loudly: "Erchen just promised that as long as they take the initiative to confess their sins and obey the law, they will protect their children from a way to live, and I also asked my father to see that there is a good life in heaven, and the children are young and ignorant, so that the world will praise their father's benevolence." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly: "Prince, we asked you in vain just now, how can the criminal law of governing the country be lenient, if you open up the net, where are those corrupt officials and corrupt officials still afraid!" ”

The officials below were all discouraged, they didn't expect that the Holy Lord would not even be able to give his majesty the crown prince, it was the first time in so many years.

Zhu Biao did not flinch: "Please also ask my father to be tolerant, corrupt officials and corrupt officials will die if they die, they are guilty of unforgivable crimes, and it is normal for their families to be guilty of the same crime, and the sons and daughters are just interceding for those innocent children and young sons, they have not been evil, why are they punished." ”

Zhang Anmin, the servant of the ministry, kowtowed a few heads and said: "Holy Lord, although the son of the minister is not evil, but he also enjoys wealth and nobility by virtue of the minister's position, and now the minister has nothing to say about the death sentence, only the grandson was only two months old, and the child is innocent and asks the saint to open up." ”

The rest of the family with newborn children also cried and pleaded, Zhu Biao kowtowed again to express his will, Xu Da, Li Wenzhong and others immediately said: "His Royal Highness the Prince's benevolent heart is commendable, and the ministers also ask the saint to open up the Internet." ”

Zhu Biao expressed his attitude that the East Palace belonged to naturally responded positively, even if the emperor above had a cold face, everyone knew that the prince was politically correct at all times.

Hu Weiyong and others also knelt down and begged, but their words mainly revolved around Zhu Biao, what prince is lenient is the blessing of the country, this is also their heart, if the next emperor is still Zhu Yuanzhang, then they might as well resign and return to their hometown to be a landlord.

Zhu Yuanzhang finally glared at Zhu Biao and left directly, and the rest of the officials immediately looked at each other, it shouldn't be, what the prince asked for was just a trivial matter, those children didn't even have a memory, just send it wherever they want in the future, the saint is the one who takes the most care of His Royal Highness the prince's face, how could he leave directly.
