Seeing the crown prince Zhu Biao retreating, three civil officials looked at each other and silently retreated into the queue. The remaining seven-rank civil official did not retreat, still knelt on the ground, and played: "Weichen patrols the city and the imperial history Zhou Guan Zheng has a book to play. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang asked coldly: "But plead for these scholars of the country?" ”

Zhou Guanzheng saw Zhu Yuanzhang's murderous face, but still nodded.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand towards the door of the main hall and said loudly: "Where is the Jinyi Guard?" Pull him out and give me twenty rods. ”

The Jinyi guard stationed at the gate of the main hall heard the words and received the order, and walked in quickly, and one of them stretched out his hand to grab Zhou Guanzheng's side, and was about to drag him out of the hall.

Zhou Guanzheng's face was miserable, but he still resisted and said: "Your Majesty, after Weichen receives the twenty court staffs, he may not be able to save his life, please allow Weichen to finish his words before he fights." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a gloomy face: "Okay, I'll let you say it." ”

When the two brocade guards heard Zhu Yuanzhang's order, they temporarily let go of Zhou Guanzheng.

Zhou Guanzheng stood up and said slowly: "There is no such article in the Da Ming Law, and officials must be decided when they accept the banquet. His Majesty decided the life and death of a person without being questioned by the Criminal Department, which is inconsistent with the law of the country. With that, he turned and walked out of the hall.

At this moment, a young man dressed in civil official clothes flashed out of the civil official queue and knelt on the ground.

Zhuo Jing said in a deep voice: "Li Xuanting, Zhao Runan and other students of the Guozijian actually accepted a banquet on the occasion of the investigation of the flood, which is hateful and hateful, but the ancient Weiguo Shang Ying changed the law in the Qin State, and the intention was to punish the country with the rule of law. His Majesty judged the life and death of a person without being questioned by the Criminal Department, which was very inappropriate. "It turns out that this Zhuo Jingying is very enlightened, and he is a new scholar last year.

Zhu Quan heard this Zhuo Jing say the words "rule the country by law", his heart couldn't help but move, his eyes stared at Zhuo Jing opposite, and thought in his heart: rule the country by law and do things according to the rules, even in the modern civilized society hundreds of years later, it is also the goal pursued by all countries.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and shouted: "Do you still want to eat the court staff?" ”

He was so angry and angry, not only did he not shock the ministers, but he provoked a few contrarians, Wang Jing, the head of the household department, Guo Ren and Lu Zhen, the head of the Ministry of Works, Zhao Heng, and Qi Tai, the head of the Ministry of War. Huang Zicheng was read in the East Palace, and Fang Xiaoru, the editor of the Hanlin Academy, also agreed with Zhuo Jing's words about the rule of law in his heart, plus Wang Jing, Zhao Heng's protégé, and suddenly fell to his knees.

The teacher who was taught by the crown prince Zhu Biaoyan, Fang Xiaoru, who is now educating his son Zhu Yunwen, and Huang Zicheng, who he values very much, also disobeyed Zhu Yuanzhang, and he couldn't care about the fear of this father in his heart, so he immediately knelt on the ground and said: "My father's punishment is too heavy, and my son begs my father to take back his order and punish this student who is a prisoner of the country." ”

Zhu Biao is generous by nature, and he is very popular among the civil and military officials, and even the Duke of Wei Xu Da, the Duke of Song Guo Feng Sheng, the Duke of Yingguo, and the commander of Lan Yu behind Zhu Quan also knelt on the ground, imploring Zhu Yuanzhang to spare the life of this cadre.

Some people in the court who were afraid of Hongwu Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang saw the wind and rudder, and when they saw the prince kneeling, they also knelt on the ground and echoed their words.

At this time, the people who participated in the court discussion in the Fengtian Palace were left with Zhu Di, the king of Yan, and Zhu Quan, the king of Ning, standing out from the crowd. When they saw this situation, their hearts sank involuntarily.

Even though these two princes are resourceful, but under this situation, they immediately felt that although the two of them were princes, they had the power to influence the military generals above this temple, compared to the strength of the prince Zhu Biao, and his own lonely palm was difficult to speak.

Zhu Quan squinted at Zhu Di, and secretly thought to himself: Zhu Laosi was afraid that he also wanted to kneel down and pretend to be loyal to the prince, but he had already cleaned up the old man fiercely, and he didn't dare to play tricks anymore. Anyway, I also act according to the direction of your wind, if you kneel, I will kneel, you carry it, I will carry it, anyway, there is always a fourth brother like you in front of the current shield. Thinking of this, his face couldn't help but heat slightly, and he said: These sour Confucians are still bolder than me, a person who has experienced thousands of battles, is it really as Xu Ying said, am I becoming more and more slippery?

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled angrily, pointed at the Manchu Dynasty civil and military who knelt on the ground, and said angrily: "Okay, rule the country by law, from today onwards, in the laws of our Ming Dynasty, I will personally add an article, for officials who dare to accept gifts to eat and drink, all of them will be decided." Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Zhu Di and Zhu Quan, pointed at Zhu Di and said, "Di'er, what do you say?" ”

Zhu Di didn't dare to kneel down and echo the crown prince Zhu Biao, he was already beating the draft in his heart, and said loudly when he heard the words: "Erchen thinks that this governance of corrupt officials is like treating people. When a person is in good health, he suffers from a minor illness, if he is not good at diagnosis and treatment, when he is terminally ill, he is afraid that even Bian Que, Hua Tuo and other "famous ministers who govern the country" will not be able to help. Zhuge Liang, a powerful minister who governed the country during the Three Kingdoms period, once said: To govern the troubled times, use heavy codes. In the opinion of the sons, it is necessary to go further on the words of Prime Minister Zhuge and punish corrupt officials, so you might as well start from the subtleties and warn the officials of the world with the death of these Guozi prison students. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly relieved when he heard this, nodded, sat back in the dragon chair, and said coldly: "After I take the world, I will resume the imperial examination and select the pillars of the country." Didn't someone have a word about this imperial examination in the past? It is called the Asahi Tian Shelang, and the Twilight Son of Heaven Hall. Li Xuanting, Zhao Runan and other Guozijian students are all from poor scholars, yesterday was Tian Shelang, today as soon as he ascended to the Tianzi Hall, he has not been given a real position, he has learned to accept banquets. If you become an official for a few more years, won't you have to be corrupt and pervert the law, and eat the people? Speaking of this, he pointed to Zhuo Jing in the matter, and said in a deep voice: "Zhuo Jing, in the past, I heard Liu Bowen tell the story of this Bian Que, you tell it to everyone." ”

Zhu Quan just heard Zhu Di talk about the ancient famous doctor Bian Que, but what he recalled in his mind was a Chinese story that he had seen in a Chinese textbook before, but unfortunately he couldn't memorize this story, so he had to bow down and play: "It's better to ask Zhuo Jing to tell the story of "Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong". We generals are all big and coarse, so it's good to trouble Mr. Zhuo to explain it clearly, don't keep it to yourself. said this in his mouth, and secretly said in his heart: Old man, sooner or later I will be pulled out by you, and Zhu Laosi's "back to the black pot", it is better to consciously echo two sentences, as if I have already contributed.

Lan Yu heard Zhu Quan's words, and said with a secret smile in his heart: If you talk about this calligraphy, I'm afraid that my old man is better than you, but what kind of bird is the story of "Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong", I haven't heard it, I don't know what it has to do with today's events?

Zhu Di squinted at Zhu Quan beside him, and said angrily: This kid, listening to me punish corruption with the metaphor of curing diseases, a story of "Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong" came up, and he is really a monkey who climbs along the pole.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw Zhuo Jing say the words "rule the country by law", although he was angry with his disobedience, but he also appreciated his insight, and heard Zhu Quan's words, and said: Quan'er, this kid seems to be a bit ghostly. Thinking of this, he pointed at Zhuo Jing and said, "Okay, Zhuo Jing, you stand up and tell this story to listen." ”

Zhuo Jing stood up and said slowly: ""Bian Que Meets Cai Huangong" is an excerpt from "Han Feizi? Yu Lao. Han Fei, the son of Korea at the end of the Warring States Period, studied criminal name spells, and was a famous Legalist at that time. His story is about Bian Que entering to see Cai Huangong, standing and looking at Cai Huangong for a while, and said: There is a little disease between your skin textures, and I am afraid it will be aggravated if you don't treat it. Huan Hou said: I am not sick. After Bian Que left, Huan Hou said to the people on the left and right: Doctors like to treat people who are not sick, and take this cure as their own credit. Ten days later, Bian Que came to see him again and said to Huan Hou: Your illness has reached the muscles, and if you don't heal it, it will be even more serious. Henghou did not answer and ignored Bian Que. Bian Que had no choice but to leave, and Huan Hou was very unhappy. Ten days later, Bian Que came to see him again and said to Huan Hou: Your illness has reached the stomach, and if you don't treat it, it will be even more serious. Huan Hou still didn't answer and ignored Bian Que. Bian Que only left again, and Huan Hou was very unhappy. After ten days, Bian Que Jinjian glanced at Huan Hou from a distance, turned around and ran. Huan Hou specially sent someone to ask him why he ran, Bian Que said: The disease between the skin textures, hot water, and medicine can be achieved and cured; Acupuncture can be achieved and cured for diseases in the muscles, and diseases in the stomach and intestines can be achieved and cured with gunpowder decoction; The disease in the bone marrow is under the control of the gods, and the doctor can't do anything about it. Huan Hou's is now to the bone marrow, so I don't speak anymore. After five days, the Marquis of Huan was in pain and sent people to find Bian Que, who had fled to Qin. Huan Hou died. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang snorted, couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhu Quan, and said: Quan'er's story is the most suitable for dealing with these civil officials. Thinking of this, Finger Zhuo Jing said angrily: "What does this story mean? Tell me about it. ”

Although Zhuo Jing was a scholar who had been influenced by Confucianism since childhood, he was upright by nature and disdained to lie, so he had to say frankly: "The original intention of this allusion is to use it as a metaphor to illustrate Lao Tzu's "difficulty is easier than it" and "it is greater than its fineness". ”

Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and a group of Wenchen, and said angrily: "Isn't this truth suitable for governing the country and punishing corruption?" The officials went to investigate the floods, ate and drank, and if they took it, they couldn't kill it? ”

When Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng, Qi Tai and others heard this, they were also in a cold sweat on their backs, unable to speak.

Zhu Quan saw that these sub-civil officials were speechless, and his heart was extremely happy, and he pointed at Zhu Quan and said: "Quan'er, what do you think about killing these guys who eat, drink, and take randomly?" ”

Zhu Quan smiled bitterly in his heart: What can I think? I can't obediently hold you in my hand as a gunman. It's a pity that the famous corrupt official in history, Yan Song of the Ming Dynasty, is afraid that his grandfather has not yet been born. The great corrupt officials of the Qing Dynasty, He Shen, the eighteenth generation of the ancestors, do not know where they are, only to cite the example of the Song Dynasty. Thinking of this, he cleared his throat and prepared to speak. made a contrived move, which provoked Zhu Di, the king of Yan, who was calm by his side, and couldn't help but stand on end, and he was nauseous.
