"Berwyn, that's a good question." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Liu Bowen with satisfaction, thinking that this person really has a good relationship with us. is also jealous and hateful, so he is the right choice to be the middle of the imperial history.

However, when the ministers who resigned heard this, they all glanced sideways at Liu Bowen, and they were grateful to him in their hearts.

They didn't dare to say this kind of thing themselves, but now Liu Bowen helped them say it.

"I guess that's what you thought before you came, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said to the crowd, "But let's tell you and wait, you and others are wrong." The court can't function without you? How naïve! ”

"Your deputy, I wish you had gone down sooner, so they could come up."

"Even if we remove all the incumbent officials, you can still find someone who can be on top among the people, and you think of yourself too important."

When the ministers heard this, they realized that their previous thoughts might be wrong.

"When I was in Lujia Village before, Mr. Qin told us a story. said that there is a drama that seems to be a Yuan miscellaneous drama, the name is "Yongzheng Dynasty", there is a plot in it, when Emperor Yongzheng implemented the new policy, he was also opposed by the ministers. ”

"Later, those courtiers were like you, using collective resignation to blackmail the emperor and try to obstruct the new policy."

"The emperor was so anxious by them that he was furious in the court, saying that I would not allow you to resign. Yongzheng also suffered from a serious illness because of this, and finally had to compromise with the ministers and cut off his arm to punish the officials who implemented the new policy, which allowed the matter to be calmed down. ”

"However, what we want to tell you is that we are not Yongzheng."

"Yongzheng feels that the court will not be able to operate if the ministers resign, but we clearly know that there is no shortage of talents in the world."

"Mr. Qin has long told us that only outrageously low-wage factories can't retain people, and they will be short of people every day. The boss gives a slightly higher salary, and the employees who come for the interview will be immediately overcrowded. ”

"See what you're talking about? It's official! It's not a low-pay, inappropriate position for an employee. ”

"Official, is there anyone who can't find anyone to be it?"

When the ministers heard this, they regretted for a while: they shouldn't have come today.

"If you think that we will be like Yongzheng in the drama and will compromise with you, then you will think too much."

"If you want to resign en masse, we will agree to your resignation." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was cold, "But if you want to leave easily, it's not so easy." The fact that you can do such a thing proves not only that you are stupid, but also that your ass is not clean. ”

"The king uses Ji."

"The minister is here!" The king of the criminal department Shangshu stepped forward to listen to the order.

"Strictly investigate these people, and if there is a problem, they will all be dealt with according to the Ming Law. The beheaded deserves, the exiled deserves to be exiled. His descendants will never be allowed to enter the office. Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "Only those who have no problems can be let go, and they will be deprived of all their fortunes and privileges." ”

"Obey the order!" The king used the Ji Dao.

"The emperor spares his life! The emperor spares his life! When a group of ministers who resigned heard this, they were immediately frightened and kept kowtowing and begging for mercy. The emperor ordered a strict investigation, and they are good?

They came to resign en masse because of selfishness.

Those who are truly honest and dedicated to the people will not come.

"Your Majesty, the minister regrets it, and the minister will not resign." There are even people who say.

"I regret it now, it's too late, what did you do earlier? If you don't take the initiative to hit the muzzle, we don't necessarily know about you. However, Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "Come on, take off their official uniforms, and send them all to the prison of the Criminal Department." ”

Soon, Erhu rushed in with more than 50 imperial guards and stripped off all the officials' official uniforms and hats one by one. However, they were all escorted and sent to the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.

The ministers became commoners in an instant.

And face jail time.

Some of the bodies are paralyzed, while others are scared out of the feces and urine.

There is more regret in my heart, and I want to die headlonging.

Especially the emperor's words, if you don't take the initiative to come, we may not know about you, and it is even more murderous.

"Qin Yu raised by a son of a bitch!" Someone began to curse Qin Yu. If it weren't for him, Emperor Zhu wouldn't be so powerful. Maybe it will be like the emperor in the play, and compromise with them.

And just now, the emperor also mentioned 'Mr. Qin' many times.

So in the final analysis, the culprit is still the same Mr. Qin they have never met.

The crowd hated it to the core.

I can't wait to eat its flesh and sleep its skin.

"Your Majesty, that Qin Yu has harmed the country and the people, and I implore the emperor to kill him to correct the dynasty!" Among the officials who were escorted, some shouted unwillingly.

"He is the culprit who has plagued my Daming."

"Qin Yu's traitor is comparable to Zhao Gao, Dong Zhuo, Cai Jing ......"

"With him, the Ming Dynasty will not be a country."

"Yes, only by killing Qin Yu can Da Ming be restored to the previous monarch and minister." Another official said, "Please open your eyes and see, the current officials have all separated from the emperor." ”

There is still a little bit of truth in this person's words, since the implementation of the public land system taught by Qin Yu, it has indeed damaged the interests of many feudal nobles, which makes the ministers very dissatisfied.

But because it is Zhu Yuanzhang who is in power, even if their interests are damaged, no one dares to resist.

Everyone was silently suffering, knocking out their teeth and swallowing them in their stomachs.

"Your Majesty, the ministers are doing this for the good of the Ming Dynasty, and the ministers are all loyal ministers." Another official shouted.

"I want to cut the surname Qin with a thousand knives to eliminate the hatred in my heart!"

……

However, no one paid attention to them.

Lujia Village.

Qin Yu felt a fever in his ears for some reason.

"Who is scolding me behind my back?"

"It's been going to happen many times."

"Since I, Qin Yu, arrived in Lujia Village, I dare to touch my conscience and say that I am dedicated to the villagers, and I have no sin against anyone."

"Why do people always scold me behind my back?"

"Do you dare to come to me and scold me in person?"

"Wait a minute, and stand down." Seeing that the ministers were escorted away, Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand to Liu Bowen and Zhan Tong.

"The ministers are leaving." The two withdrew.

In the imperial study, Zhu Yuanzhang was the only one left, and he frowned. The empty seal case, coupled with the collective resignation of dozens of officials today, made him feel a burst of anger and irritation, and even powerlessness.

In terms of the strategy of punishing corrupt officials and corrupt officials, he felt that he had exhausted his talents.

"It seems that we have to ask Mr. Qin for advice on this matter." He muttered to himself.

Historical records: Ming Taizu killed more than 100,000 officials who harmed the people in the empty seal case, Guo Huan case, and Hu Weiyong case, but the political style still has not been improved. In the end, he had to sigh and say: "We are only thin in virtue, and the way of control is exhausted!" ”

harming the people and officials, so that characters like Zhu Yuanzhang are helpless against them, and they admit that they can't do it.

It can be seen that this matter is difficult.
