Chapter 141: The Tiger of Tyranny

Zhu Quan pondered slightly, turned his head to Zhuo Jing and asked: "In the history of the Song Dynasty, there were two well-known officials who judged cases like gods, do you know who they are?" ”

Zhuo Jing can be described as a treasure of historical figures, frowned slightly, and said loudly: "The first thing His Highness said is naturally Bao Zheng, who was once an official to the third envoy, a privy deputy envoy, and is commonly known as Bao Qingtian. The second should be Song Ci, who wrote a "Collection of Grievances" to be handed down to future generations, and was once an official to mention criminal and prison affairs. These two people who have redressed countless unjust cases and saved the people of Li from injustice, can be regarded as characters who have been remembered for eternity. Bao Zheng once had a family motto: In the future, the descendants of the eunuchs, if there are stolen goods, they shall not be released to their own family, and they shall not be buried in the big house when they die. If you don't follow my will, you are not my children and grandchildren. It can be seen that it is honest and noble. ”

Zhu Quan nodded, suddenly sighed softly, and said: "Even though the two of them have rehabilitated countless unjust cases, but after all, the manpower is limited, and the unjust prisons that have not been rehabilitated are countless?" ”

When Zhuo Jing heard Zhu Quan's words, his heart trembled, but he was speechless, so he had to be silent.

Zhu Quan turned his head to look at the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, and suddenly said: "This truth is like lighting a candle for lighting, if two candles are lit in broad daylight, who can notice the brightness and extinguishing of the two candles?" When it is dark all around, and you can't see your fingers, light two candles, and you will only appreciate the two bright candles, and forget the corruption and perversion of the law where the candles can't reach, and the unjust, false and wrongful convictions. Speaking of this, he paused slightly, and said in a deep voice: "A Song Dynasty actually produced two officials who judged cases like gods and were worshiped by the people like gods, which shows how far the people of Li have been oppressed by corrupt officials and corrupt officials? Ladies and gentlemen, think about it, do you have to ask the state officials to cure corruption and greed for ink when they come to the head for headaches and feet for foot pain? ”

Although many of the civil officials in the DPRK and China were well-read poetry and books, and could speak well, they heard Zhu Quan's ingenuity, comparing Bao Zheng and Song Ci, who judged cases like gods, to candles in a dark room, and their deafening words were all silent and speechless.

Qi Tai, who was still kneeling on the ground, sighed and said, "Yue Wumu once said that civil officials are not greedy for money, and military generals are not afraid of death, so why worry that the world is not peaceful?" Weichen Qitai supported the execution of these scholars who accepted the banquet during the investigation of the flood to set an example. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied when he heard that Zhu Quan was such a clean official who judged the case, and he explained the rule of officials in the Song Dynasty on the opposite side, and turned his head to point to a group of civil and military officials, and said: "In the past, at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, the Mongolian Tatars levied and extorted violently, and the taxes were extremely heavy, coupled with the exploitation of countless corrupt officials and corrupt officials, when a tax reached the heads of the people, it had increased tenfold, or even dozens of times. Didn't someone in ancient times say that harsh government is fiercer than a tiger? It can be seen that the harm of this wind of greedy ink is more than that of the invasion of foreign enemies. A few days ago, officials of the Ministry of Rites also advised me that according to the custom, gold ornaments should be used for the use of car utensils and other things, and copper should not be used instead. I'm rich all over the world, can't I afford to spend thousands of pounds of gold? The so-called frugality, not the first, how to lead the world? And the beginning of extravagance is from small to large. In the future, if any of the officials of the Ming Dynasty dare to be greedy for ink, as long as they find out, I will definitely let him die a good death. Recently, I also plan to compile a "Great Message" to record the methods I have used to punish those corrupt officials over the years, and after excerpts and transcriptions, paste them in conspicuous places and pavilions on the roadside, so that officials can self-discipline after reading, and let the people expose and report after learning, and deal with corrupt officials. Speaking of this, he snorted coldly and asked: "The literary style of the Southern Song Dynasty is extremely prosperous, how many of those things like Cai Jing and Zhang Bangchang are not full of poetry and books?" What is the punishment of the doctor, in my opinion, no matter how big the scoundrels are, they are far from being as good as these high-ranking scholars, right? ”

Zhu Quan heard Emperor Hongwu say this, sighed secretly in his heart, and thought: The old man himself lives like a miser, no matter how much he kills corrupt officials, who can say that he is unfair? Zhao Kuangyin, the founding emperor of the Song Dynasty, has been passed down through the ages, and the bullshit cup of wine releases military power, no matter how nice it sounds, it is just a trick to fool the scholars, and he actually encourages his civil and military ministers to live a life of arrogance and wealth. East#Fang#Net .com can deal with those murderous Jin soldiers, and the Mongols are strange. I heard Zhu Yuanzhang say that Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang and the like were also full of poetry and books and brought disaster to the country and the people, and they agreed with it, and secretly thought: The old man is wise, hundreds of years later, aren't there some so-called brick families called beasts, running out to make a big fuss? I have not experienced the cruelty of war, and after a long time in the era of peace, one by one has long been full of brains, and I have shamelessly denied the national heroes who bravely resisted foreign enemies and protected their own culture. This seemingly high-sounding act, but in fact extremely ignorant, is tantamount to educating all future generations not to resist in the face of foreign invasion in the future, and to be slaves with peace of mind. Using the square words of cultural heritage left to us by our ancient ancestors to castrate the masculine spirit that cannot be given up in our own national culture, is it not self-destructing the Great Wall? In the words of future generations, hooligans are not terrible, but the most terrible are cultured hooligans.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the civil and military ministers who were still kneeling on top of the main hall, and said coldly: "All stand up, I still have important matters to discuss." ”

A group of ministers of civil and military affairs knelt for a while, and at this time they got up one after another, Zhao Heng, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, was old, and with the support of the young officials beside him, he stood up tremblingly.

Zhu Quan secretly cheered up and quietly thought: Okay, the warm-up match is over, and he is about to enter the official finals. Thinking of this, he turned his head to look outside the Fengtian Palace, and said secretly worried in his heart: Those two little things were put in a cloth bag for a long time, but don't suffocate to death.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "The capital of our Ming Dynasty has been set here for more than 20 years. I recently had a plan to move the capital to the north and choose another place. ”

Among the hundred military officials of the Chinese dynasty, except for Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, Fu Youde, the Duke of Yingguo, and the six Shangshu, who had been ventilated by Zhu Yuanzhang in advance, the rest suddenly heard such "bad news", and they were suddenly like mourning and examining, and they were anxious in their hearts, and they came out to oppose it, and some said that Yingtian was the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and under the tiger plate, it was the best location of the imperial capital. Some people say that moving the capital will inevitably lead to a large-scale relocation of the population from the south to the north, and it will be difficult for countless people to accept it, and such a disturbing move will certainly be unpopular. Anyway, the reasons are high-sounding and extremely tenable, in short, it means that I don't want to move the nest.

Fang Xiaoru, Huang Zicheng and Qi Tai are all confidants of the crown prince Zhu Biao, and they were summoned to the East Palace last night to discuss the matter. These three people knew that moving the capital was a military and political plan involving the country, and at this time they still had no decision in their hearts. Fang Xiaoru and Huang Zicheng tended not to move, while Qi Tai pondered and preferred to move the capital to Beiping.

Xu Da, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde's military knowledge behind Zhu Quan is far above the hundreds of civil and military officials, how can they not see that the benefits of moving the capital to the Ming Dynasty outweigh the disadvantages? After careful consideration last night, Xu Da and Feng Sheng spoke out against moving the capital, but the rhetoric was not fierce. Only Fu Youde knew that the relocation of the capital was of far-reaching significance for the Ming Dynasty to control and stabilize the northern provinces and pass through Liaodong, and he strongly supported the relocation of the capital.

Xu Da turned his head to look at Fu Youde behind him, sighed in his heart, and said with a slight embarrassment: Brother Fu is upright by nature and doesn't know how to avoid taboos, but he is far better than me.

Zhu Quan saw that Xu Da and Feng Sheng did not agree with the relocation of the capital, and wondered in his heart: Could it be that Xu Shuai and Feng Shuai could not see the far-reaching impact of moving the capital on the consolidation of the frontier in later generations? After he experienced many military events, he was no longer so superficial in his view, and suddenly recalled a story that his master Qin Zhuofeng had told him, Han Shizhong, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, was not necessarily a person who was greedy for money and goods, but he took the initiative to ask Song Gaozong for land and a house, in order to show that he had no heart for submission. It suddenly became clear in his heart, and he sighed secretly, where could Xu Shuai and Feng Shuai not see the mystery in this, but they didn't want to be as wise and wise as His Majesty the Emperor. What Old Man Zhu wants to do, he basically ignores how many people are in favor and against, as long as he thinks about it, he must do it, and the sky can't stop it from falling. Don't be too smart as a courtier, and the emperor's knowledge is average, which is definitely not a good thing, this may be a feudal society that pays attention to the supremacy of monarchy, and can never get out of the strange circle. Isn't he, a person from the society of later generations, just go with the flow and follow the rules that everyone in this society abides by, the courtesy of kings and ministers? To talk about democracy and freedom of speech here is basically to seek death.

After hearing about the relocation of the capital, Lan Yu frowned and did not speak, and secretly thought in his heart: Move the capital? The Northern Yuan Emperor Togus Timur also had more than 200,000 troops entrenched in Mobei, how to move the capital if he didn't clean up? He has grown up since he was a child all his life, and until this time, he has almost always lived under the halo of the founding father of the Ming Dynasty and his brother-in-law. What I don't like the most is that when I talk about myself, I see it as Chang Yuchun's brother-in-law, and I am deeply ashamed of this matter, thinking day and night that I can get a chance to prove myself, and prove that my talent as a general is no less than Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, Li Wenzhong, Feng Sheng, and Fu Youde. And this commander led the army to conquer the Northern Yuan Emperor, which is undoubtedly a rare opportunity that must not be missed. Therefore, he has little interest in moving to the capital, and what role he can play in the next Northern Expedition is what he is most concerned about.

Zhu Yuanzhang coldly watched the performance of the ministers, and after a while, he suddenly shouted: "Enough." When the courtiers in the palace saw him angry, they were all silent, like a chilling cicada.
