"Dad, what do you mean......" Zhu Biao couldn't help but be happy when he heard this.

"Do you want your son to save the prisoners in prison?"

"Naturally, there is also a division of weight." Old Zhu Dao. "Those who haven't committed a crime, those who have committed a lighter crime, naturally want you to be gracious."

"We don't have to be tyrants, don't we think that our Ming Dynasty can have fewer rebellious ministers and thieves, and the descendants of our old Zhu family don't have to hang themselves on that coal mountain?"

"Let's set off the four major cases in the old five, and we have also thought about it carefully. First, Hu Weiyong and Guo Huan's stolen officials and thieves really made us angry. ”

"You know, your grandfather and grandmother were forced to live by those stolen officials and tax collectors in the former yuan!"

"If we really see that Da Ming is also a corrupt official, we will definitely not be able to suppress the anger in our hearts!"

"Boss, you must always remember that the people are the foundation of my Ming Dynasty! On weekdays, the people seem to be obedient, far from those officials who can speak well, and they still appear in the court every day and bounce in front of us. ”

"But our Zhu family, our hearts must be open. In fact, the official is not worried about no one doing it, how many cuts have been cut, and there are people rushing to do it later! Let's set off four major cases and kill tens of thousands of officials, didn't Daming turn the sky upside down? ”

"But if the people's hearts are completely gone, the world will produce Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong!"

"Your vision should not only look at those officials in the court. In the palace and court, you can't raise a truly virtuous son of heaven! ”

"We should go to the people and the people, and only by observing the people's feelings can we not be deceived by those officials."

Lao Zhu talked about his parents, even though they are now the Ninth Five-Year Honor, they still can't hide the sadness and indignation in their eyes, showing that the blow to him that year was extremely deep. Zhu Biao's face was also solemn. What Lao Zhu said was the golden and jade words that he had realized from the bottom all the way, and Zhu Biao hurriedly gave up his hand to listen to the training.

Zhu Su couldn't help nodding. Lao Zhu's words are similar to the sentence "come from the masses and go to the masses".

It is also recorded in the history books that the crown prince Zhu Biao has gone to Beijing many times to inspect, and even before the kings took up the domain, Lao Zhu would order the prince who was about to become a vassal to go to Fengyang, the central capital, to experience a period of time. Come to think of it, this is because Lao Zhu wants to teach his sons this truth.

"The second is that the situation at that time really needed that." Lao Zhu continued. "According to Lao Wu's description, it is estimated that it was only a few years later that we really made up our minds to depose the Zhongshu Province and the prime minister system."

"At that time, we didn't get the advice of the fifth child, we didn't set up a cabinet for the DPRK and the Central Committee, and Hu Weiyong was intertwined in the government and the opposition, if it was not wanton, how could we uproot Hu Weiyong and his party and make them completely break their minds?"

"If you don't do it ruthlessly enough, when you and even the kings of the later generations become the country, they will definitely rely on those mouths and quote scriptures to restore the prime minister system!"

Zhu Biao pursed his lips, knowing that his father was right. If he, the founding emperor, is not decisive enough in this matter, if there is a soft-eared person in the future, the prime minister system will inevitably be born again in the spring breeze.

After all, the prime minister system has been in this land for thousands of years, how can it be so easy to completely dissipate? Even if he Zhu Biao was not moved, it is difficult to guarantee that the kings of later generations will not be deceived by those literati and bureaucrats, and the prime minister system will be reinstated.

And even if Lao Zhu killed like Lao Zhu in history, the literati still did not give up their efforts to seize power with the king and let the king "hang the arch and rule the world". The cabinet in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was not just a Zhongshu province and prime minister system with a different name?

Even benevolence and virtue such as Zhu Biao have to admit that it is indeed necessary for Lao Zhu to clean the officialdom with his hot hands in that situation.

"When it comes to the Lanyu case, you and your mother are ...... It's all gone. "Even if it's just talking, Lao Zhu's voice still trembles when it comes to this." We are anxious, but on weekdays, there are still you two mothers and sons who always persuade me. ”

"If you two are gone, what else do we have to worry about at that time?"

"In order for our grandson to sit firmly, who in the world would not dare to kill?"

may have substituted the mentality of Zhu Yuanzhang in his later years during the period of losing his wife and children, and Lao Zhu's voice couldn't help but carry some desolation and murderous intent.

"Daddy, daddy, my son knows your old heart." Zhu Biao was moved. "My son shouldn't blame you for being tyrannical in his heart. You have explained your son like this, and explained it to your son, how can your son not know your hard work? ”

"If only you knew." Lao Zhu patted Zhu Biao's hand. "Let's do all this, but also hope that in the future, we can steadily hand over this burden to you!"

Zhu Biao's face was slightly red, but he also nodded heavily.

"What are you going to do next, Dad?" But it was Zhu Su who opened his mouth, interrupting the atmosphere of father-son filial piety between Lao Zhu and his eldest brother. If his father doesn't help him and let the eldest brother keep him, wouldn't he have to take a detour when he saw Zhu Liangzu in the future?

After all, a prince with real power, in real terms, is completely worthy of a prince like himself who only has a name for the time being.

"Although I said that before, we are not a benevolent church." Lao Zhu sneered. "This time I pulled out Hu Weiyong, but it also brought out a lot of rotten stinky, do we have to pinch our noses and let them go?"

"Lu Zhongheng and Zhu Liangzu...... Hmph, gathered around Hu Weiyong, and complained a lot about us. Do you really think that you are enough to be a prince of the country and a king? ”

"No matter the officials or the nobles, they always have to really kill a group of people to let those guys know what it means to be afraid! Let's see that the method of 'peeling the skin and filling the grass' that Lao Wu said is good, and it is said that we came up with it later? ”

"It's really a bit of our ruthlessness......"

Halfway through speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and turned his head to look at Zhu Biao: "Biao'er, you have to close the door in the house for a while." By the way, we have to take advantage of this momentum to abolish the prime minister of Zhongshu Province and push out the cabinet. ”

"Some dazed officials oppose the abolition of the prime minister's system, and they just use Hu Weiyong's name to climb and put them in prison, and the province is noisy in our ears every day!"

Zhu Su laughed dumbly, Lao Zhu wanted to "silence" all the opposing voices first! When they came out of the edict later, the prime minister system had been abolished, the cabinet was in full swing, and it was impossible for the imperial court to change the order overnight, so they could only pinch their noses and admit it.

Zhu Biao also shook his head, as if he felt that his father's behavior was really child's play. But at this time, he is no longer the stunned young man who was bent on following the reason, this method is indeed a good way to smoothly abolish the appearance and protect those conservative officials, so he also nodded to Lao Zhu Ying.
