Chapter 179: Zhu Yuanzhang's disappointment

Zhu Yuanzhang asked indifferently: "The prince sent Naha out to He Xi to give an order to save Liu Sanwu's life." ”

"Yes." An inconspicuous little eunuch said.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "Got it." ”

The little eunuch slowly retreated, mixed in with the crowd of eunuchs, without any conspicuous place.

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes drooped slightly, and he secretly said in his heart: "Prince, you have disappointed me." ”

There are many things in the world that can be hidden from Zhu Yuanzhang, and there are even fewer things that Nanjing can hide from Zhu Yuanzhang. And in the palace, if you can hide things from Zhu Yuanzhang, I'm afraid there will be no more.

If Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do this, he wouldn't be alive now.

The prince himself felt that he was doing something hidden, but in fact, he didn't know that the moment he gave the order, news had already been transmitted to the Qianqing Palace. It's just a little slow.

The prince disappointed Zhu Yuanzhang because the prince did not support the change. He actually wants to stand on the opposite side of the change.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang very annoyed.

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't know what kind of person his son is? Don't know the resistance in his heart? These are known. It was precisely because he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang decided to leave these things. So that Zhu Biao can accept a clean new world.

As for letting the prince end the matter of changing the law, it is not very normal.

And even if, if the prince doesn't do this one thing, he won't do anything else.

In the past, Zhu Yuanzhang did everything for his children and grandchildren, and it would be good for his children and grandchildren to inherit the foundation. Now, after studying some materialist philosophy, Zhu Yuanzhang has made one thing clear, the only constant thing in the world is change itself.

It is more clear that in the future era of industrialization, although prosperous, social mobility and change will be 100 times that of agricultural society. If an emperor looks at the problem with a static gaze, there will definitely be a problem.

Starting from today, the next few decades, less than a hundred years, will be a great era of drastic changes.

In fact, he doesn't care what the prince thinks? It's up to the prince to do it.

Why? Because, Zhu Yuanzhang has an absolute tolerance for the prince. The prince doesn't understand it now, it doesn't matter, you just look at it, many things will always be understood in the future. Opposing behavior is absolutely not allowed.

Because, the prince's own team has a lot of objects that need to be cleaned up. There are too many people in the world who oppose the new law. Once the prince does such a thing and leaks his thoughts, he will definitely be supported by many people.

This made the dispute between the new law and the old law evolve into a dispute between the crown prince and the emperor.

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang does not want to see.

It's just that even if he doesn't want to see it, today's situation seems to be tilting in this direction.

How this did not disappoint Zhu Yuanzhang.

In an instant, Zhu Yuanzhang made up his mind that Liu Sanwu must die.

Even if it's not for the sake of changing the law, it's just for the sake of separating the father and son of the heavenly family. That's enough.

However, the stage has already been erected. How can you not go to power?

Zhu Yuanzhang sorted out his clothes again and walked out of the hall.

------

Woo woo, the sound of countless horns sounded, and the jingling Yale also moved with the wind, thousands of brocade guards, all seven feet tall, with good looks. There was no flaw on his face, he was wearing brocade clothes, holding a guard of honor, and surrounded Zhu Yuanzhang's Luan, and came to Fengtian Gate.

Zhu Yuanzhang got off Luan's car, slowly walked to the dragon chair, and sat down.

The dragon chair is not so much a chair as a collapse, a short collapse, after people sit on it, they do not rely on all sides, they can only sit upright.

Zhu Yuanzhang made a color. Immediately, a eunuch came out of the ranks, holding the holy decree and reading it aloud; "Fengtian carries the emperor, the edict says: I have gone through a hundred battles, there is the world, immediately win the world, not immediately rule the world, I have repaired the Ming law repeatedly, still the jade wall is slightly flawed, I ordered the officials above the third grade, on the recital of this matter, I am in the dynasty today, so that you can speak freely, on the pros and cons of the Ming law, the decree."

Zhu Yuanzhang's holy decree is not strange, and it is even expected by many people.

For a while, in order of the size of the officials, the following officials expressed their opinions one after another. And choose such and such questions from the Great Ming Law.

After all, perhaps the officials still don't know how the so-called changes will be made, but the revision of the Ming Law has already been determined. They all support the revision of the Da Ming Law, and they also have to give reasons.

He Xi listened to their reasoning.

The first sentence is too heavy, and the second sentence is too much.

In short, most people's thoughts are to reduce the sentence, whether it is to reduce the sentence or to combine the number of charges.

After all, Da Ming Law is too ruthless for officials to commit crimes. There is simply no room for anything. How can we not let these people tremble?

Then, there is extrajudicial punishment.

This is also the most distressing point for officials. But no one dared to say more.

Without him, who is the person who imposes extrajudicial punishment? It's Zhu Yuanzhang.

Wouldn't the person who wants to do this weaken Zhu Yuanzhang's monarchy, what kind of person is Zhu Yuanzhang? How could you agree? Since it is not possible to agree. If you talk about this, it's really hard to say what will happen in the end.

He Xi stood among the ministers, listening to the clichés, but there was no feeling of drowsiness. Instead, he looked at Liu Sanwu, who was standing not far from him, and among the ministers, those who were known to be clear. Let's see if anyone jumps up.

There were changes that he didn't expect.

Apparently not.

It's just that Zhu Yuanzhang is a little tired of listening. He suddenly knocked on the desk in front of the dragon chair with his fingers, and for a while, no one dared to breathe loudly in the square of thousands of square meters, as long as the wind was whistling on the flag, there was no sound.

Zhu Yuanzhang said indifferently: "Today, there is no objection to the revision of the Daming Law, right?" ”

Before Zhu Yuanzhang, how could he be so dragging his feet. If you want each of the people below to express their opinions, there are also one or two hundred officials above the third grade in Beijing, and there are even some super-grade lords and the like. One by one, I don't know how much time it takes.

So, Zhu Yuanzhang asked directly.

The people below were silent.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't speak, and as soon as he raised his hand, a eunuch immediately read out another holy decree.

In this holy decree, who wants the subordinates to nominate a candidate to revise the Ming Law.

Seeing this, Liu Sanwu said loudly: "Your Majesty, the old minister is willing to recommend himself." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes shrank slightly, and there was a trace of gentle killing intent in his eyes, and he said, "Okay." Who else wants to nominate themselves? ”

He Xi said; "The minister is willing to recommend himself."

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while, but saw that there was no sound in the square, and no one spoke.

After all, this is the norm of officialdom during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty, and it is a bit too much to say that everyone is in danger, and they don't know if their heads are still on their bodies when they go out every day. But under the power of Zhu Yuanzhang, most people are cautious and follow the rules. But it's a fact.

At this time, not many people have the courage to meddle in this matter.

Not to mention, they are not used to Zhu Yuanzhang's changes.

Before, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision on many major events, so it seems that today, he actually asked the opinions of the people below? What opinion do they dare to have?

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Liu Sanwu, who do you think is more suitable for this thing among the two of you?" ”

Liu Sanwu said: "Lao Chen is more suitable. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to be very excited and said, "Why? ”

Liu Sanwu said: "He Xi has shallow qualifications, most of them have served in other places, and they have not served in the center, and the Ming Law has been revised. It is a great matter in the world, how can this man be appointed? Use the Confucian lord. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Then how are you going to revise?" ”

Liu Sanwu paused slightly, and said: "Commute the sentence and repair the province, and rest with the people." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Is the tax I set high for a fee? ”

Liu Sanwu said: "It's not high. ”

If only according to the official tax, the tax of the Ming and Qing dynasties is not high. It's just that in the middle and late stages, there are too many surtaxes, and there are still none.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Is the world very heavy? ”

Liu Sanwu said: "The northern conscription is heavier. The conscription in the south was less, and even if it was not heavy. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Since the taxes are not heavy, and the forced labor is not heavy, why can it be said that the people of the world will no longer recuperate? ”

Liu Sanwu didn't know what to say for a while.

The situation in the world is to be compared with whom.

Zhu Yuanzhang has governed the world for 20 years, and although the Ming Dynasty has such and such problems, it can be regarded as entering the world of governance.

Let Liu Sanwu deny the situation of the Ming Dynasty, open his eyes and say that the people in the world are extremely poor. Moreover, this extremely difficult situation is due to the taxation and forced labor of the imperial court. He couldn't say it.

Of course, not all the people of the Ming Dynasty are alive and well. However, there are probably three reasons why there are many problems, the first is the geographical environment, and it is normal for the poor mountains and bad waters to produce the people. The second is the oppression of the local elites, and the third is the corrupt officials.

The third is not much in number.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang killed an official, and he was so killed that the knife was curled.

The relationship with the imperial court is not too large. On the contrary, it has a lot to do with some of the groups that the new law wants to crack down on this time. He didn't dare to talk nonsense in these places.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Old Master Liu, answer my words. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang just wanted to force Liu Sanwu to death step by step, even the emperor couldn't kill people at will. Killing people is also about finding a reason, or an excuse. Zhu Yuanzhang forced Liu Sanwu to say something step by step. You can buckle the hat of great disrespect.

It's just that he never expected that there would be another accident.

"Father," the prince said, "The son thinks that Old Master Liu is old and his energy is not good, and this time he is right, and he is not the one to preside over this matter." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the prince, his eyes were as indifferent as water, and said, "Okay." ”

It's just that there seems to be no emotion in these eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "He Xi, tell me what you think." ”

He Xi took a deep breath and said: "Thank you for your kindness, the minister thinks that the world is the world, and the people of the world are also the world, this matter should be open and honest, and conspire with the people of the world." ”
