There was a chilling silence below, and no one dared to make the slightest sound.

If the soldier will be angry, two corpses will be ambushed, bleeding five steps, and the wrath of the Son of Heaven will ambush millions of corpses, and the blood will be thousands of miles.

"The crimes of the ministers deserve death, please give the emperor death. Seeing Lin Ruofeng's anger, the civil and military officials immediately bowed to the ground.

"Hmph!" Lin Ruofeng patted the dragon chair and slowly stood up.

Lin Ruofeng really wanted to kill all these moths, but reason did not allow him to do so, before he had killed half of the civil and military officials, if the remaining half was also killed, then the central power of Da Zhao would completely collapse, even if it was necessary to reallocate fresh blood from the local area, it would take a long time, and a country could not afford to wait that long.

Besides, can Lin Ruofeng guarantee that the fresh blood he replenishes is an honest person, it is obviously completely impossible, the Great Zhao Dynasty, which has lasted for more than a thousand years, is the central government corrupt like this, not to mention the locality.

Da Zhao is now corrupted to the bones, terminally ill, if he suddenly uses fierce medicine, he is likely to be killed, and now in such an environment, Lin Ruofeng can only choose to use peaceful medicine to treat slowly.

After making up his mind, Lin Ruofeng put his hands behind his back and said, "Actually, I am a person who likes to work hard. In this world, if the wife is peaceful, I don't bother to care, how good is it to be a carefree emperor comfortably? Whether you are corrupt or inactive, if Zhao is peaceful, as long as it is not too excessive, I will at most turn a blind eye. However, I am the blood of Taizu. The heir of this great Zhao Jiangshan. I can't just watch Da Zhao Jiangshan fall like this, right? Strong enemies are ringing, Da Zhao is in danger, if I just let you hollow out Da Zhao. Cause public outrage. If Da Zhao really can't withstand the pressure. My Huaxia was exterminated, you and I are sinners through the ages, and you are all people who have read poetry and books, and you must all know the truth that there are eggs under the nest, the country is destroyed, we can't even guarantee our lives, no matter how much money we have, we have to have a life to spend!"

The ministers of civil and military affairs were also resonated by Lin Ruofeng's heartfelt words. They should claim to be.

"That's it. I also thought that people should be the same from person to person. Lin Ruofeng smiled and said: "Everyone is a person who has a family and a business, a mansion and a property. also understands that it is not easy for themselves or their ancestors to earn this family business. Whether it's the housekeeper in the house, or the other housekeepers, if you make some tricks and collect some money under the pretense of a name or something. Just don't go too far. When you seek stability, you won't be too careful, at most you will knock on the side. But if someone wants to get to this foundation from the root, or if the foundation is in danger, but some people are still obsessed. When he was still ruined, Lin Ruofeng's voice began to be a little cold: "Imagine for yourselves. If that's the case. What will you do?

For a while, everyone somewhat understood Lin Ruofeng's thoughts. It was as if I had woken up and been initiated. The current situation is clear.

"The country is the country, the country and the family are one. Lin Ruofeng said slowly: "If there is no country, where are your families? I just want to tell you that if anyone wants to destroy my family, destroy the country passed down from my ancestors, and destroy the inheritance that I want to extend to my sons and grandsons. Who is my enemy paused. Word by word: "Then don't blame my subordinates for not recognizing people, those chaotic parties that were raided in front of me, I think it is too light, if I knew from the beginning that they could be corrupt and bribe so mad, I decided to exterminate their nine clans! You are all family members, so I don't need to say too much. ”

"Your Excellency understands. Lin Ruofeng used very simple words. After expounding his position, and adding these bloody lists, it really aroused the understanding and resonance of the ministers of civil and military affairs. In fact, the reason is very simple, if someone wants to destroy their family business, from someone will watch things happen and do nothing, all the civil and military officials will bow down.

"Actually, I and you Aiqing are in the same boat. After seeing them kneeling together, Lin Ruofeng sat back on the dragon chair. He said lazily: "If my family fails, I think that you seventy or eighty people will not be better off than now." Okay, okay, I won't say much. Therefore, I hope that you can cooperate a little, don't let me be embarrassed, and worry about how many civil and military officials should be killed in order to make Da Zhao Wen dìng down. ”

Hearing Lin Ruofeng's words, hundreds of civil and military officials bowed their heads and shouted, "I am willing to listen to the emperor's teachings!"

Lin Ruofeng hesitated for a moment, and said to the civil and military officials below: "Okay, since you have the heart of repentance, then I will spare your lives for the time being, let you make meritorious contributions, and assist me in bringing the mess of Da Zhao under control, so that the people can live a good life, and so that many barbarians will not dare to humiliate me in China!"

"Emperor Shengming, thank you for the emperor's grace of not killing, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" I thought that the civil and military officials who would die were overjoyed, but I didn't expect to be able to see the dawn before dawn, in the officialdom environment of Da Zhao now, there are a few people who do not have a big lump under the buttocks, and the rotten Da Zhao officialdom is full of copper odor and power trading, the officialdom is extremely dark, and the real clean officials have no room for survival at all in such a background, some are just a few people, although some people are corrupt, but at least they will do something beneficial to the people, and those who have no conscience will patronize and exploit the people. Even Ding Qun, a very upright and good official, may not be very clean, at least before he served as Lin Haotian's teacher, when he climbed from the place to the center step by step, he must have experienced a lot of bloody storms, not to mention others.

When they raised their heads, Lin Ruofeng squinted at them, as if he wanted to see the true faces of the civil and military officials below, and the sharp eyes frightened the weak-hearted ministers below into a cold sweat, and kept wiping the sweat on their faces with their sleeves.

Lin Ruofeng retracted his gaze, knowing that he couldn't see how many of these people would really change their ways, and only by strengthening supervision in the future could it be possible to slowly correct Da Zhao's government.

Zhu Yuanzhang was Lin Ruofeng's least favorite emperor in the previous time and space, but Lin Ruofeng's view of the hatred of corrupt officials was similar to him, and his hatred for the corruption of officials could be said to be extremely extreme According to historical records, Zhu Yuanzhang carried out more than a dozen punishments and killings during his reign, and more than 100,000 people were tortured by skinning and beheading; this practice has different views and debates in the historical circles, but it did have a tremendous effect of killing one and setting an example at that time, and officials at all levels at that time were scrupulously performing their duties, honest and honest, the people's taxes were extremely low, and the productivity was unprecedentedly high, which laid an astonishing material foundation for the Ming Dynasty for nearly 300 years to come.

Zhu Yuanzhang came up with a way to punish corrupt officials and corrupt officials. He asked the prefectures, prefectures, and counties to build a small temple on the left side of the yamen where they were located, and to worship the god of the land. On the left side of the public seat in the lobby of the Yamen, a bag with a skin last full of grass is hung, called "fur bag". This small temple is a place for picking the skins of corrupt officials, and people call it "Pichang Temple". Using this method to punish corrupt officials does seem a bit cruel, but it also shows Ming Taizu's resentment against corrupt officials. He summed up an experience from the demise of the Yuan Dynasty, he said: "The Yuan Dynasty threw away the country because of tolerance and indulgence of corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and now that I have won the world, if I do not use severe punishment and strict laws, it will not be enough to correct the accumulated evils!" After the founding of the People's Republic of China, he repeatedly issued orders to severely punish corrupt officials, and the laws and regulations were very strict. The decree stipulates that anyone who embezzles more than 60 taels of silver shall be killed immediately

After that, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude toward corrupt officials and corrupt officials became more and more severe, and he created a policy that feudal rulers could not have imagined in the past, that is, stipulating that as long as ordinary people found corrupt officials and corrupt officials, they could be tied up and sent to Beijing to be punished, and that all checkpoints on the road must be allowed to pass, and if anyone dared to stop them, they would not only be executed, but also be punished by the nine clans! This is unique in the history of China's legal system. However, the operability of this policy was not strong, and there were not many implementers in the Ming Dynasty. Compared with this kind of mass reporting and exposure, the main source of clues for Zhu Yuanzhang's anti-corruption is his eyes and ears, that is, the inspection of the school. These people are all over the country, and they can play as soon as they find that officials are corrupt and bend the law. Zhu Yuanzhang used so many means and fully cooperated with him, it is said that corruption should be eradicated, but the situation is far from as simple as he imagined

In front of these formidable art of death, the officials still rotted one after another, living like a group of death squads, walking in droves under Zhu Yuanzhang's torture instruments. After a batch, another batch, Zhu Yuanzhang was anxious, so he issued a more severe decree: "I want to kill corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but I didn't expect to kill them in the morning, and you will commit them again in the evening, then don't blame me, in the future, those who are corrupt and accept bribes do not have to be limited to 60 taels, and kill them all!" But this did not stop, but the officials became fewer and fewer, so there was such a funny record in the historical materials at the time: 364 officials were sent to the same wholesale list that year, all of whom were Jinshi prisoners, and a year later, 6 people were killed. There are also 358 people who are guilty of capital crimes and futile crimes. Not a single one of the more than 300 people was missed. What is the death penalty and the crime of vain, this is a peculiar landscape in the Ming Dynasty. Many criminals passed through the court, and when they went up to the yamen, they found that the officials were also wearing shackles, exactly like themselves, and there were people watching them behind. In addition to the fact that the clothes are official uniforms, he is a prisoner when he takes off his life.

Zhu Yuanzhang is so strong that he can't eradicate corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and Lin Ruofeng is now unstable, what he wants to adopt is a similar system to the Independent Commission Against Corruption in Xiangjiang, but this system also has great drawbacks, so Lin Ruofeng is also very entangled now.
