Chapter 179: Killing the Government

The thunder faded away, and there was silence in Songhe Xuan.

After a long time, Luo Zhen said abruptly: "There is no reason! Killing Encore governs the country? ”

Unexpectedly, Ximen Qing replied confidently: "But! ”

Looking at Luo Zhenren's wonderful face, Ximen Qing said slowly: "It's not that the younger generation is justifying himself, but Zhizhu is holding the solid evidence - Master Zhizhen can not only understand that the Song Dynasty fell to the hands of foreign races, but can he know who the foreign races of the Song Dynasty were destroyed?" ”

Zhizhen Heshi said: "Amitabha Buddha - the way of heaven has no basis, and the old man is in charge of the leopard, which is rare and perfect." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Ximen Qing said: "In this case, the younger generation is here to pick up the missing and make up for the gap - a person who breaks the foreign race, surnamed Zhu Yuanzhang, this person has recovered the Han land, established the Ming Dynasty, and enjoyed the country for three hundred years, and because of corruption and decay, the displaced people revolt inside, the Tartars covet outside, and finally die - if Zhu Yuanzhang, the founder of a generation of heroes, is knowledgeable, he will inevitably be in the underground!" ”

Luo Zhenren groaned: "Zhu Yuanzhang? ”

Ximenqing nodded: "Exactly!" He is a heroic king who has been effective in ruling the country by killing and laying the foundation of a dynasty for 300 years! ”

Elder Zhizhen's eyes widened again, and his eyes were as deep as black holes.

Luo Zhenren said slowly: "I want to hear it in detail." ”

Ximenqing took a deep breath: "After Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he reminded his ministers and said - when I was a common man in the past, I saw corrupt officials and corrupt officials ignoring the people's suffering, and I hated them in my heart!" In the future, I will legislate and severely punish all corrupt officials who dare to endanger the people, and I will never forgive them -- this Hongwu Emperor did what he said, and he promulgated the most brutal anti-corruption decree in history: Officials who embezzle more than 60 taels of silver will be immediately beheaded! Later, this decree was repealed - but not silently raised the bottom line of corruption to death, as was the case in later generations, but completely abolished - all officials who embezzled were immediately beheaded! is so angry, it is really an emperor through the ages! ”

Taking a breath, Ximenqing said again: "And in order to make an example, corrupt officials will be skinned alive, which will be covered with straw, and then this skin will be vividly hung in the downtown for all people to visit; It will be hung next to the public seat of the current official, and the successor who may be corrupted will be able to appreciate it at his leisure. ”

Glancing at Luo Zhenren, Ximen Qing continued: "Actually, in addition to the normal five punishments of flogging, rod, imprisonment, flow, and death, this Hongwu Emperor not only innovated the method of peeling, but also Ling Chi, intestinal pumping, and scrubbing - that is, gently pouring boiling water on the corrupt officials, and then gently caring for them with an iron brush, slowly brushing off the skin and muscles. The scale rod - that is, the person is threaded with a large iron hook and slowly dried by natural death - compared with the punishment of castration and digging of the knee, it is already considered more soft-hearted and merciful. ”

Luo Zhenren's snow-white eyebrows jumped.

Ximenqing continued: "This Hongwu Emperor is definitely innovative, thinking about what no one has ever thought of before, and what no one has ever thought of before. He legislated that as long as ordinary people find corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they can be tied up and sent to Beijing for punishment, and the government must let them go along the way, if anyone dares to stop them, not only will those who defy the law themselves be executed, but they will also be connected to the nine clans -- such a fierce law, the world is unique, but it is a pity that the execution of the ordinary people in the Ming Dynasty is not strong, and this good law has not shown its due effect! But -- this law is destined to be adopted and carried forward by certain careerists and thieves of the country in later generations, and become a tool for them to win over people's hearts, consolidate power, and eradicate dissidents -- then before they get the good, they will poison the evil first! ”

Sighing, Ximen Qing continued: "Since it is not easy for the people to mobilize, Emperor Hongwu has no choice but to spread his eyes and ears, known as the inspection of the school - there was an inspection before the Ming Dynasty, but the fart was useless, and even the red girl in the later hook column can also flaunt the school book to claim to be self-conscious, but the inspection of the Hongwu Emperor is a practical thing, a practical thing. They came out of nowhere, reconnoitring the bad deeds of corrupt officials and corrupt officials all over the country, and as soon as there was a stir, they played to the Hongwu Emperor, and the Hongwu Emperor was conscientious and did his best to suppress corruption -- in the 19th year of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, tens of thousands of corrupt officials were killed, and there was no one in the country's 13 provinces and counties, and after the killing, there was a shortage of officials, and no one was able to work, and as a result, the Hongwu Emperor invented a unique job, called the crime of wearing the death penalty and doing things in vain -- the corrupt officials sat in the hall with shackles and locks to try the prisoners, and after the trial, they went back to the prison and waited for death -- this scene was a miracle of the Ming Dynasty, It has been cited and carried forward by later generations -- if there are officials who are corrupt in later generations, as long as they are in obscurity for a period of time after they are dismissed, they can make a comeback and make meritorious contributions to the great cause. ”

After reminiscing about the past and the present, Ximen Qing suddenly asked Luo Zhenren: "Do your predecessors know what the anti-corruption effect of Emperor Hongwu is?" ”

Luo Zhenren reluctantly said: "Under the strict punishment and strict law, how can anyone dare to take a step beyond the thunder pool?" ”

Ximenqing smiled bitterly: "The predecessors expected to be bad! After thousands of years of quality elimination, the despicability of human nature can be deterred and curbed by a moment of harsh punishment and strict law? Those officials in the Ming Dynasty read poetry and books, and took the so-called 'Chaowen Dao, Xi can die' as their life creed, but after becoming officials, they became 'Chao Shou Pai, Xi', and its changes before and after are thought-provoking! ”

At this time, the bare-eyed Elder Zhizhen next to him finally closed his eyes, and the old monk looked very tired, and the beads of sweat on his bald head were densely layered, looking like a Buddha with a bag full of bags. If the old monk had lice on his head, he would definitely define this moment in the history of lice as the "Age of the Great Flood".

The old monk who had weak qi opened his eyes againβ€”this time his eyes were open normally, and the Heavenly Eye Tong and the Fate Pass could not be activated indefinitelyβ€”Elder Zhizhen asked slowly: "Although what the Ximen donor said is true, the example of the Hongwu Emperor proves that the cruel punishment and the cruel law to suppress corruption are not a good way-since his person has failed, how can the Ximen donor succeed?" ”

Ximenqing smiled: "The master doesn't hear that failure is the mother of success?" Failure is nothing, as long as you learn from failure, you can eventually accumulate success! ”

Luo Zhenren asked, "In this way, you must have learned from the defeat of Emperor Hongwu, so please speak freely." ”

So Ximen Qing Zhengse said: "The failure of Emperor Hongwu was actually doomed from the beginning. Why? Because his corruption is only out of selfishness, he plans for his family and surname. He did kill a lot of corrupt officials, but how many unjust killings, wrongful killings, knowingly arson killings, and using the topic to kill were mixed in, and the killing was prevented from future troubles...... That would be debatableβ€”so his anti-corruption method, which could only be used for his own lifetime, would be wasted in the hands of his descendants. It must be known that the emperor himself is the biggest corrupt official in the world, and it is hard to imagine that he can be governed, just like a person no matter how strong he is, can he pull his hair and pull himself off the ground? A decaying old tree, even if it spits out two new branches, cannot restore its decaying fate. Therefore, all the cruel punishments of Emperor Hongwu will eventually deviate from the original intention of anti-corruption and become a tool for later rulers to eat people and consolidate themselves. ”

Glancing at Luo Zhenren and Elder Zhizhen, Ximenqing continued: "But today's new country is different - the head of the Federal Republic of China is not hereditary, but elected by the people, and once the term of office expires, he will be re-elected, and he will never be coveted for power and listen to the government; At all levels of prefectures and counties, officials are also decided by the people, all of whom are virtuous and capable, not comparable to the previous imperial examinations; Since it is a federation and has its own factions, within the limits of the Constitution, all parties and factions do their best, supervise each other, compete with each other, and those who can benefit the country and benefit the people will be recommended by the people, and those who have selfish and distracting thoughts and form parties for personal gain will be impeached by the people. ”

Luo Zhenren and Elder Zhizhen were silent. After a while, Luo Zhencai said: "Such a country is unprecedented in the world-you say that it may be the law of eternity, which shows that you are not sure in your heart." ”

Ximen Qing said: "But if you don't try, you will never be sure!" ”

Elder Zhizhen chanted the Buddha and said, "Heaven has the virtue of a good life. Emperor Hongwu killed tens of thousands of people in 19 years, and Ximen killed 100,000 people in 45 years -- today he even said that he wants to test the law with the world's heads, but he will inevitably lose his cruelty. ”

Ximen Qing said: "Happy life in spring, happy killing in winter, God also has the virtue of killing - just as life can be modest; But governing the country and doing things should be like a quick sword, and it must be taken to the extreme! Otherwise, it will become a disaster for the country! ”

Elder Zhizhen said: "Today, the country has hundreds of millions of people, if you allow Ximen to test the world with the sword, but you don't know how much it can exist? ”

Ximenqing suddenly laughed and said leisurely: "What is life? Love Triangle - Hey Hey! At such a moment, the human mind suddenly remembers this couplet, which is really out of place, so it is really a complicated thing to say that human beings! However, no matter how complicated things are, under the blade of the quality being eliminated, the fittest will live, the inferior will die, and in the end there will be geometry left, I can't allow, but the result will inevitably surprise you, master, but it can be predicted! ”

Luo Zhenren brushed his sleeves and said, "Who are you?" Dare to control the life and death of the world? ”

Ximen Qing said calmly: "The real person is wrong! The life and death of the world are not my hands, but the law is the head, and people are in charge of their own ears! ”

Elder Zhizhen said: "The sky is killed, and the stars are easy to stay; The ground sends a killing machine, and the dragon and snake rise to the land - if the old man and others can't allow the master of Ximen Shi to send a killing machine, what then? ”

Ximenqing bowed his head and said in a deep voice: "God blocks and kills God, and father blocks and kills father!" ”

Luo Zhenren laughed angrily: "What an arrogant tone! How can you dare to run rampant so much? It is necessary to know that the knife of heaven has its own creation control, and those who want to operate the knife on behalf of creation and do not hurt their hands are rare! ”

Before the words fell, I heard someone outside Songhexuan laughing strangely: "What an old miscellaneous hair, so arrogant!" You're not the sky, who is the knife of heaven doing, it's your business? How can you dare to run rampant so much? ”

With the sound of the shadow, there was already one more person in Songhe Xuan. This is exactly what it is:

Where is the peach Taoist now? Liu Lang is here again. But I don't know what will happen next, and listen to the next breakdown.
