As we all know, Hong Wunian's officials are basically not worried about retirement.

Because 80 percent of people don't live to retire at all...

And the words that Chu Ze said when he stood in front of Zhu Yuanzhang at this time were not so popular with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Because he had already understood what Chu Ze meant by this.

He thinks he's giving less!

"What, young man, what do you mean, we give less money? Let's make these officials uncomfortable? ”

"Let's tell you the truth, we still want them to live a less comfortable life, let them know how the people live!"

"If the officials live a comfortable life, what do they eat and think? It's what to eat next! We're just going to make them understand..."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chu Ze below, he was very unceremoniously ready to come up with his own set of rhetoric and spur Chu Ze, a young man.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chu Ze actually interrupted Zhu Yuanzhang's words directly.

That's right, he interrupted the Emperor's impassioned speech.

"Your Majesty, let's hear from our hearts. . . If you are an official, you can't even afford to eat! They have power in their hands, and as long as they move their hands, they can get money. Between starving to death and taking a risk, what would most people choose? ”

"Watching his wife and children starve to death? Watching your child celebrate the New Year and can't even afford a new dress? ”

"Be a minister, be loyal! Be a father, do what you teach! As a husband, take responsibility! Son of man, be supportive! ”

"Everyone is human, and the human heart is flesh and blood. Being loyal to the king and being responsible for multiple powers is indeed what an official should do. ”

"But while everyone is an official, they are also a father, a husband, and a child!"

"Is it only loyalty, not filial piety, not the duty of raising children and taking care of the wife?"

"Work on one side, family on the other! In this world, how many people can abandon their wives and children for work? If you are an official under your command, all of them are like this, for the sake of work, for the sake of their own integrity, they can even watch their wives and children starve to death on the streets, and there is no place to bury their parents after they die. ”

"Then Your Majesty, such a ruthless and ruthless person, do you really dare to use it?"

"I am a latecomer, I can tell Your Majesty very bluntly, during the Hongwu period, the matter of greedy ink was repeatedly prohibited, and you successively strengthened the punishment of those who were greedy for ink, which can be said to be completely inhumane."

"However, corrupt officials and corrupt officials are still like carp crossing the river, leaving an extremely funny record in history: that year, there were 364 officials on the same wholesale list, all of whom were Jinshi prisoners, and a year later, six people were killed."

"You may think that only six of the three hundred and sixty-four people have died, which means that your torture is still shocking, right?"

"In fact, the remaining more than 300 people are all guilty of capital crimes and futile crimes."

"More than 300 people, a year. None of them slipped through the net..."

"As for this crime of wearing the capital and the crime of vain, it can be regarded as a characteristic of Hongwu Nian, and you should not have implemented it now. The so-called capital crimes, vain crimes, are those who have committed the death penalty, but the work has not yet been completed. So he went to work with shackles and shackles. ”

"When the work is done, the beheading of those who should come back and behead, the exile of those who should be exiled."

"The main reason for these two charges is that you killed too hard. The pace of recruiting officers could not keep up. ”

“...”

Chu Ze threw out all the words he knew in one go.

He also looked at the legendary figure in front of him speechlessly.

To be honest, if he hadn't traveled to Hongwu and became an official.

He really wouldn't choose to stand here.

I used to always read novels, and after watching other people's protagonists cross, I called for wind and rain, and I was happy in the world.

As a result, when I came to myself, I fell into such an embarrassing identity to die.

"Your Majesty, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, and His Royal Highness King Yan. I know you're all curious as to why I want to die. ”

"The main thing is who I am now, and he deserves to die! And it's definitely not going to have to die well. ”

"Now I have forgotten what I used to study, and I can't even write well. You've seen that. It was only a matter of time before I was found out that something was wrong, and once I was discovered, I was most likely responsible for the crime of favoritism and fraud in the imperial examination, and then beheaded. ”

"If I am lucky and not discovered, then in the face of such a cheap salary, I don't think I will want to eat a good meal in my life. Even if I meet true love and want to start a family, I am a big man, and I can't even support my wife! ”

"There is no doubt that the greed for ink is inevitable. Among Hong Wunian's punishment for corrupt officials, just one Ling Chi execution can be regarded as light."

"And if I suddenly resign now, Your Majesty will be suspicious, I am a new person, a young man, who can be said to have a bright future, and I will resign if I suddenly say that I will resign. Your Majesty will inevitably be suspicious and then check on me. ”

"And now I don't even know where my former home is, as long as I check, I still have to die!"

"To put it bluntly, after I crossed over, it was basically a dead end."

That's why I had to die. Because I have no way out..."

After Chu Ze said all the words that were suppressed in his heart in one go.

At this moment, he felt more relaxed than ever.

Yes, relax.

It was a sense of relief!

Because he is familiar with history, he knows that after he finishes his words, it is basically equivalent to living to the end.

So before Zhu Yuanzhang attacked, Chu Ze looked at the crown prince Zhu Biao for the last time.

This is the most powerful prince in history, and at the same time the most powerful prince.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, my words have basically been finished, and then, I will bother you."

"To be honest, as a person in the next generation, I am actually very excited to come back, although I am just a small person in the market, and in the next generation, that is, a person who does nothing."

"But now that I'm here, I still want to do something."

"Please also ask the prince to help me intercede later and give me a good death."

"In return, I'll give you one last word."

"Your Majesty hates corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and there is nothing wrong with it. However, it is limited by the times, and the limitations are too strong. ”

"The official's salary, he ignores the officials themselves, and they need to support the office management personnel of the entire yamen."

"As for the support of the heirs, he ignores the problem that the family will quickly grow after a few generations."

"Although Your Majesty is dedicated to the people, history has given the answer. His Majesty's purging of corruption did not make the people's lives much better. ”
