Corruption, even in the current situation of the great enemy, the rampant demons, the autumn of human existence, and the dire situation, it is still unavoidable!

Whether it is Lu Kaisheng or Guan Minghao, they all understand the situation in this regard.

Although they have been in the Demon Suppression Capital for a long time, they still have some understanding of all aspects of Huaxia.

Hearing Su Che's strange question at this moment, they didn't answer the question with a question, but instead asked Su Che why he asked this question, but began to think about it.

After a while, they also gave their own answers.

Guan Minghao believes that greed is the nature of human beings, and if there is desire, corruption will inevitably occur, whether it is to take shortcuts, or to help future generations, or to rely on the privileges of martial artists, there are not a few people who are popular.

It's just that because there is a great enemy like demons at the moment, the internal contradictions of human beings have not erupted.

If one day, human beings finally defeat demons, then human society will inevitably become more and more distorted, and classes will become more and more solidified, and then the enemy will not be outside, but will be generated inside.

Of course, this is a matter for the future, and what will happen in the future is still unknown.

As for how to eradicate corruption in ancient times, his answer was that it was absolutely impossible!

Ancient dynasties.

If they are in their prime.

Then they don't have a strong enemy.

It is simply impossible to unite.

But if they are in the final stages.

That is even less likely to unite.

Everyone will make their own plans.

If we want to eradicate corruption completely, we must put an end to greed, but this is something that goes against human nature and is impossible to do.

Lu Kaisheng was not as pessimistic as Guan Minghao, and he suggested that Su Che could start from other aspects, such as setting up various corruption investigation agencies, and giving them enough power to deter officials and make corruption impossible.

However......

This method.

The ancients did not think about it.

In the Ming Dynasty, Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and even later Xichang, their responsibilities were like this, and their appearance made the officialdom restless, making those scholars hate them to the bone, and they all became eagle dogs lackeys whose reputation was ruined to the extreme.

Their appearance has tormented the bureaucratic class.

But it is undeniable that that period was the most comfortable period for the people.

But this method ultimately failed......

The desire for power is endless.

Zhu Yuanzhang set up Jinyiwei to be in charge of military and political spies, which was only under the jurisdiction of the emperor alone, but he was also aware of the problem of Jinyiwei, and later abolished the Jinyiwei system.

In the Zhu Di period, he created Jinyiwei again.

But when Jinyiwei's power is getting bigger and bigger, it is becoming more and more difficult to use.

Zhu Di set up the East Factory.

They are composed of eunuchs, and in Zhu Di's opinion, these eunuchs are very close and reliable.

After all, eunuchs have no queen, no inheritance of rights, and can only be loyal to the master, that is, His Majesty the Emperor.

In a way, this is indeed the truth.

But when the idea was implemented, it was inevitably distorted.

As the power of Dongchang continued to increase, many eunuchs began to compete with the ministers for power because of their excessive power and uncontrol, which seriously affected the use of the emperor's power.

In order to strengthen the centralization of power and control the power of eunuchs, Zhu Jianshen of the Ming Xianzong set up the West Factory, to put it bluntly, the West Factory was set up to contain the East Factory.

But in order to contain the East Factory, it is inevitable to give the West Factory greater rights, otherwise they will not be able to realize their role.

It's just that once more rights are granted.

This is tantamount to drinking water to quench thirst, forming a vicious circle.

As the power of the eunuchs continued to expand, many systems inevitably became distorted.

In fact, long before the establishment of the West Factory, during the period of Zhu Qizhen of Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the great eunuch Wang Zhen took off Lao Zhu's iron plate of 'internal officials are not allowed to interfere in politics', which opened the third era of eunuch dictatorship in China.

Power is a poison that corrupts people's hearts, and even the most perfect system will eventually corrupt as it continues.

Power never disappears, it only shifts.

The ideas of the teacher and Professor Lu did not solve Su Che's problem.

Or rather, this in itself is an unsolvable puzzle.

Previously, Su Che asked his own Heroic Spirits this question, wanting to draw some inspiration from their mouths, but this problem also stumped them.

Zhu Yuanzhang in history has done well enough.

established the Jinyi Guard, issued a great edict, and killed hundreds of thousands of officials.

But even so, he still couldn't help but sigh, he couldn't finish killing, he couldn't kill it at all!

The problem that Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't solve, other heroic spirits naturally couldn't solve either.

This question.

In the end, only Su Che was the only one to solve it.

……

In the blink of an eye, some more days passed.

With constant practice.

Su Che continued to grow stronger, and gradually came to the late stage of the seventh-stage realm, and he was only one step away from the seventh-stage consummation.

Such a speed can be called terrifying.

On the other hand, this is normal.

After all, this Heavenly Cangjing is for the cultivation of the eighth stage, and the effect is even better for him in the seventh stage, and in addition, Su Che also has the blessings of countless heavenly and earthly treasures.

It is reasonable to practice so quickly.

this day.

Su Che looked at his Book of Covenants again.

After practicing for such a long time, Su Che was thinking about how to break the situation from time to time, and finally had some ideas.

In any case, this conundrum will eventually have to be faced.

You can't just run away and don't face it because it's too difficult.

If Zhu Yuanzhang saw that he had been evading and retracted this opportunity, it would be too late to regret it.

So.

Su Che decided to simulate it once.

No matter what, difficulties must be faced after all!

After opening the Book of Covenant Spirits, Su Che came to the Covenant Spirit Space.

The simulation option in the book, or that is the only one.

Su Che didn't think much about it and chose directly.

As he made his choice, the words on the book slowly faded.

Such a line of text appears.

"The rule of the court and the twilight of the offense, the twilight of the rule and the morning are the same; The corpse is not moved and the people follow it, and the more serious the healed is, the more the offense is committed. ”

In a trance, Su Che could see such a scene, the elderly Zhu Yuanzhang, sitting on the throne, facing such a cruel reality, his eyes were full of endless confusion.

In his life, he killed people like hemp, and ordered to kill many more people than many people have seen in his life, he has always believed that as long as he kills enough, he can deter the younger generation, but it turns out that too many people die for money!

The corpse has not been moved, but the man has succeeded him.

The more you are cured, the more you sin.

All the killings seemed to be meaningless.

This made Zhu Yuanzhang fall into confusion, he was like the sun that was about to go down, but the road was so far away, even if he went against the grain, he could not reach his destination, and he was even more desperate than Wu Zixu in the Spring and Autumn Period.

Su Che couldn't help but fall silent.

Soon.

The image slowly fades away.

Words appear in books.

[A farm in Fengyang, you were born. 】

[Your father gave birth to eight children, only six survived, you are the youngest, and your father named you Chongba according to the ranking. 】

[This year, there was a great drought in the world. 】

[This year, the plague was rampant. 】

On the sixth day of the fourth month, your father died. 】

On the ninth day of April, your brother died. 】

On the 10th of April, your mother died. 】

[Later, your family members died one after another in this plague and drought. 】

[Not long after, your last relative, the second brother, also died. 】

[The whole family is dead, and you are the only one left. 】

[At this time, you are so poor that you don't even have the money to bury your parents. 】

[Your whole family is a tenant farmer of the landlord, you have no land of your own, you have worked hard for so many years, you have worked hard for so many years, but you are still so poor, you have no money, and you don't have the land to bury your parents. 】

[You beg the landlord Liu De, hoping that he can give him a piece of land for the sake of the land that his father has planted for him all his life, and bury him. 】

[But how can this landlord's land be so easily given to tenant farmers?] If you set this precedent, then more and more people will want to be buried on the land in the future! So the landlord Liu De refused you without hesitation. 】

[In desperation, you covered the corpses of your parents with broken straw mats and dragged them around with door panels. 】

[The ground under your feet is everywhere, but none of them belong to you, and there is no place for your parents to be buried. 】

[Maybe you are too miserable, there is a kind person in the same village, and he gave a piece of land, so that his parents have a place to bury. 】

After burying your parents, you start thinking about how to survive. 】

[You never thought of dying, it seems that there is a pair of hands in the dark, constantly pushing you forward......]

[In order to survive, you went to the temple to become a monk. 】

As the famine gets worse and worse, even the temple can't sustain itself, and you have to go down the mountain to beg for a living. 】

[You have witnessed the cruelty of this troubled world, and human life is not as good as grass. 】

Su Che watched as the words on the Book of Covenant continued to evolve.

In front of his eyes, he can constantly see those pictures one by one.

It was a troubled time of natural disasters and plagues.

Zhu Yuanzhang has such a beginning and starting point, which can be said to be the lowest among many emperors in history, and there is no one.

Words don't stop, they continue to evolve.

These words continue to tell Zhu Yuanzhang's life.

also did not give Su Che a choice and a chance to interfere.

This simulation is obviously different from the previous ones.

Su Che looked at it seriously.

[Because you are forced by life, you walk everywhere and have seen a lot. 】

[Nanyang and Huainan, this is the center of the activities of the two major factions within the White Lotus Sect. 】

[You have come into contact with the White Lotus Sect ......]

Seeing this, Su Che couldn't help frowning.

The White Lotus Religion, which is a religion whose main business is rebellion, is really impressive.

In the Yuan Dynasty, they shouted against the Yuan Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, he began to shout against the Ming Dynasty and restored.

After the fall of the Ming Dynasty, they began to call for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty again.

The first historically recorded rebellion of the White Lotus Sect was during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period - Wu Yi and Dong Yi rebelled in Chenzhou under the banner of "Mo Ni".

Later, when it came to the Yuan Dynasty, the ruler Mongols did not know the glorious history of the "White Lotus Sect", so they did not suppress the White Lotus Sect much.

This gave the White Lotus Sect, which had been suppressed, an opportunity.

At the end of the Yuan Dynasty, natural disasters were frequent, plagues were rampant, the people were struggling to make a living, and the government was inactive, and the White Lotus Sect, which had been dormant for a long time, once again raised the anti-flag and launched a large-scale uprising.

At that time, the saying "King Ming was born, Pudu sentient beings" was circulated among the people for many years, and many of the leaders of the rebel army at that time were leaders or followers of Mingjiao, such as Han Shantong, Liu Futong, Peng Yingyu and so on......

And Mingjiao is mostly a branch of the White Lotus Sect.

If the "Ming Dynasty" has nothing to do with Mingjiao, then it is naturally impossible.

But.

After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the prohibition of all cult activities, such as the White Lotus Society, Maitreya Sect and Ming Sect.

These thoughts flashed through Su Che's mind, and the Chinese characters in the book were still evolving.

[After coming into contact with the White Lotus Sect, you realize that there is still a way to rebel in this world......]

[After returning home from a trip, you joined Guo Zixing's Red Turban Army and was a foot soldier at first; Because of your courage and intelligence, you were quickly accepted by Guo Zixing as a confidant. 】

[After Guo Zixing dies, you will firmly hold this rebel army in your own hands. 】

[In the encirclement and suppression of many rebel forces and the imperial court, you survived in the cracks, and you adopted the advice of the strategist Zhu Sheng's 'building a high wall, accumulating grain, and slowing down the king', and established your own power. 】

【……】

[Time flies, look around again, you are no longer invincible among the heroes, and you are already a rare big force in the world. 】

[Your power is gradually growing, and you are a force that cannot be ignored in the world, and you have naturally become a thorn in Chen Youliang's side. 】

He wants to get rid of you and then quickly, pull out your eye-catching nails, and swallow up everything about you. 】

[Your power is completely incomparable with Chen Youliang, he has a full net worth and confidently fights! ] 】

[That year, the Battle of Poyang Lake. 】

[Chen Youliang used more than 600,000 troops and hundreds of ships, and took the initiative to send troops in an attempt to eliminate you in one fell swoop. 】

[And you, with only 200,000 people under your command, are all small boats. 】

[You went to the front line, personally supervised the battle, were not afraid of danger, fought and fought several times, and finally won the victory. 】

[In your life, you have fought countless battles, and the Battle of Poyang Lake is your most proud masterpiece. 】

[In that thirteen-year war of unification, you repeatedly defeated strong enemies, eliminated countless separatist forces, and finally sent your army to the north, completing the only feat since ancient times, attacking the north from the south. 】

[Since then, you have built the capital of Jinling, called the Ming Empire, from a cattle herding baby, to the Ninety-Five, setting an unprecedented precedent! 】

[At the beginning, you didn't have much culture, but in the more than ten years of the rebellion, you were fighting and studying at the same time, you were already rich in learning, and you knew the past and the present, and you would no longer be deceived and fooled by those scholars. 】

[You know a truth very well, it is difficult to fight the world, and it is even more difficult to defend the world! ] 】

[At that time, the mountains and rivers were broken, the face was devastated, the people's livelihood was withered, starvation was everywhere, and the tax source was depleted......]

[Due to years of war, coupled with famine and disease, ten rooms and nine emptiness, in addition, most places in the north were killed and plundered by the Yuan army, the city was empty, the land was desolate, and the rent and taxes were not collected for many years. 】

[You are diligent in political affairs, recuperate with the people, restore the people's strength, and the world will gradually recover. 】

[However, with the recovery and development of the world, whether it is some heroes and generals who have followed you for a long time to fight in the south and the north, or the upstarts from the political center to the local government, they have all begun to bend the law for bribes, steal and rob, and become a habit of greedy ink. 】

[In the early years of Hongwu, the rule of officials did not improve much compared with the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and it was still a political luxury and official corruption, and corruption was rampant. 】

[You have witnessed with your own eyes the corruption of the officials at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and provoked a popular uprising, and you know very well that all this must be eradicated, otherwise the country will not be a country, and you will soon repeat the mistakes of the past! 】

[Next, your choice is ......]

First, the punishment of punishment and education.

Second, strengthen supervision.

3. Benevolence education.

Fourth, personally intervene.
