In the Temple of Fengtian.

After listening to King Jin's chiseled words, Zhu Yuanzhang's tense expression finally became vivid, and he said in a deep voice:

"Although King Jin's words are a bit extreme, there is one thing that he said very well - for the government, it is forbidden without authorization from the law! We didn't say you could do it, you can't do it! ”

"Yes......" The emperor's words greatly restricted the power of the government, but Hu Weiyong could only stubbornly respond: "But this time, don't you know......

"This time you can drop lightly, not as an example." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"Emperor Xie is magnanimous." Hu Weiyong hurriedly kowtowed, Li Tai and Wu Bingxin also hurriedly kowtowed, and the civil officials also kowtowed.

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and announced slowly but firmly:

"Spreading my will, emptying the big case, bullying the king, and the crime is extremely evil. All the chief sealers and those who signed their names were arrested and entered Beijing. The official of the main seal was executed, and the deputy was charged with a hundred canes under the army, and he was here! ”

"Ah......" The officials who knelt on the ground to listen to the order raised their heads one after another. They were dumbfounded: "This, this is still called a light haircut?" ”

"Your Majesty, talent is not like a leek, cutting off a stubble can grow a stubble. It is very difficult for the imperial court to seek wise men, set up officials, and get a good talent. It takes decades to train them to become masters in their own right. Hu Weiyong tearfully admonished:

"Among the more than 300 official officials, most of them are reasonable, honest and discerning officials. Your Majesty cannot put them to death indiscriminately on charges that are not enough to convict! That is not only an irreparable loss for the Ming Dynasty, but also a local chaos! ”

"Fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang was unmoved and said: "If you are really a reasonable, honest and discerning good official, you will not print your big seal on white paper and hand it over to the people below!" But whoever does this is a deceitful and bold person, and at the worst it is a fluke, lawless people, what is the pity of killing them? ”

"They are guilty, but the crime is not to death, the emperor ......," Hu Weiyong said sadly.

"Prime Minister Hu, don't say it again. We have personally experienced the rule of corrupt officials at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and we know how much they treacherously manipulate the law and harm the people, so what is going on with this empty printing paper, and whether it has been used as a traitor, I know it, and everyone present knows it. Zhu Yuanzhang said very resolutely:

"One by one, they argued with us, reversed black and white, and didn't feel that they were wrong at all. This is the real bad habit - you brought the corrupt atmosphere of the Yuan Dynasty officialdom to our Ming Dynasty intact! ”

"......" hundreds of officials were reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, their faces were red, and they were speechless.

"It is precisely because the officialdom is completely still the habit of the Yuan Dynasty, and the officials are all the style of the Yuan Dynasty, so my Ming Dynasty is no different from the Yuan Dynasty, it is a nest of snakes and rats, and a miasma of black smoke!

"If this evil is not reformed, if you want to become good government, you will not be able to achieve it. Yuan is lost in width, so I am in the fierce! The corrupt officials will be punished and put in strict practice! ”

Boss Zhu's powerful aura, the oppressive officials all lowered their heads, and no one dared to speak again.

"Oh yes, we forgot about you." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he glanced at Li Tai and Wu Bingxin, as well as another waiter Pang Qiyou, who had never dared to say anything and naively hoped to be ignored, and said slowly:

"The officials of the household department knew that the bad habit of empty seals, but instead of reporting it, they blindly connived at it, and after the incident, they forcibly quibbled, which is really the first evil and must be severely punished. Where is the man with the sword? ”

"The minister is here!" Tang Ding, who was on duty, immediately replied loudly.

"Push Li Tai, Wu Bingxin, and Pang Qiyou to Chang'an Street and abandon the city!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"The emperor spares his life...... The three of them collapsed on the spot, struggling to kneel and crying.

"Your Majesty......" Hu Weiyong hurriedly knelt on the ground.

"Whoever talks nonsense again, will go with them and cut it in two." Zhu Yuanzhang burst out from between his teeth with an awe-inspiring sentence of murderous intent.

Hu Weiyong and the others were like geese choked by the neck, and they didn't dare to say a word. watched Li Tai and the other three household officials being dragged down.

When the crying disappeared at the door of the Golden Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang's cold gaze swept over the trembling officials, and finally said in a deep voice:

"We have nine commandments for the nobles, and we also remind you of three points-

"First, don't be clever with us anymore, we've seen everything, and we will never think of you for good!

"Second, don't think that the law doesn't blame the public, we never kill people softly, even if we kill the court, it doesn't matter. It's a big deal, just start all over again! We're not afraid.

"Third, don't think we're scaring you. If someone doesn't believe in evil, they just want to try, is their neck hard, or our Lao Zhu's knife edge is hard, then just let the horse come, we will make you satisfied! It also allows you to accompany your whole family on the road, and the family is neat and tidy, and will never be separated.

"Do you understand?" In the last sentence, the qi of the dantian burst out, and the ears of hundreds of officials buzzed.

"Yes, the ministers should remember the emperor's teachings." The officials replied in shock.

"Retreat!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves, he didn't want to see these disgusting ministers today.

"Retreat from the dynasty......" Wu Gonggong hurriedly sang.

"Greetings to Your Majesty." The hundred officials knelt down and sent the emperor and the crown prince away.

Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned when he got up and motioned for the third child to go with him.

The king of Jin hurriedly got up, accompanied the emperor with the crown prince, and left the Fengtian Palace.

~~

After the emperor retired from the court, the dukes of Cao Guo got up with the generals and walked out of the hall.

Hu Weiyong also got up with the support of officials from Zhongshu Province.

When passing in front of Hu Weiyong, the Hou masters all looked respectful and bowed.

Although Hu Xiang's struggle on the Golden Palace today cannot be said to be completely successful, he has won the respect of the nobles of Huaixi.

This is true of military generals, let alone civilian officials.

Even those officials who usually relied on Li Shanchang and never put him in their eyes were respectful at this moment, standing beside Hu Weiyong with low eyebrows.

Obviously, everyone thinks that Hu Weiyong's hard top today has caused many of them to escape with their lives.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have to give Hu Xiang a kowtow.

"Ladies and gentlemen, have you memorized all the hadith?" Hu Weiyong exhaled a breath of turbid air and asked slowly.

"Hui Enxiang, remember."

"You also have to remember that times have changed, so let's get rid of Wen Tian's old routine." Hu Weiyong said earnestly:

"In the future, we must change our minds, abide by orders and fear the law, purify ourselves and love the people, so that we can clarify the rule of officials and make the emperor look at us with admiration."

"Yes, we will follow the teachings of the gracious minister." All the civil servants bowed respectfully in response.

From this moment on, Hu Weiyong's status in the hearts of civil officials finally caught up with or even surpassed Li Shanchang.

"Let's go, colleagues, let's give them a ride." After Hu Weiyong finished speaking, he left the Fengtian Hall surrounded by a group of civil officials.
