Eighty sticks!

Kuo Shao fainted on the spot, not because his legs hurt, but because he was scared.

Qin Chuan: "Since there is a clear law, then what are you waiting for, drag it out, the rod will be eighty, and I will wait." ”

In the street, no emperor has ever done this for more than 200 years.

For a while, Liu Fang was also embarrassed: "Your Majesty, forgive the ministers for being presumptuous, with the experience of the ministers, his body and bones, at most fifty strokes, will be killed, if he dies, he can't explain to the clan." ”

Qin Chuan: "Did I ask you to explain?" You just fight, kill people, I carry it! ”

The audience was in awe, this is the master! It's the Holy Monarch! The prince is guilty of the same crime as the common people, and it is by no means an empty word!

According to the classics, the one with the strictest law was the founding emperor of Great Xia, that is, Emperor Taizu.

But later, the royal family became more and more lazy, and the emperors of later generations were also content with pleasure, and they had no ambition to inherit Emperor Taizu at all.

The so-called fighting the country is easy, but it is difficult to defend the country.

No matter which dynasty, no one can compare to the wisdom of the founding emperor.

Liu Fang had nothing to say, so he had to order someone to drag the frightened Kuo Shao out, and only went down with two sticks, and Kuo Shao was woken up by the pain.

How terrible the screams were.

Qin Chuan wants to kill chickens and monkeys, and he also wants to tell the people of the capital that the law must not be abolished!

Clansmen, nobles, there are no exceptions, everyone obeys the law!

Eighty sticks, two people were responsible for the execution, and after the beating, the person also died.

In fact, when he reached the thirtieth stick, Kuo Shao was already dead, Liu Fang knew, but he didn't dare to say it.

The night market street outside is already crowded with people, I heard that the emperor is here to fight the clan relatives and vent his anger for the people, who doesn't give a thumbs up.

For this one thing, they had long forgotten about the lustful and decadent 'prince'.

"Is it really the emperor who beat him?"

"What a relief for my mother! This Qin Yuanyang occupied the wife of Liu Yuanwai's family, and also cleverly set up a name, robbed other people's real estate and land, and did countless bad things, and now he can be regarded as retribution. ”

"Ouch, he's a clansman, except for the emperor, who can afford to mess with him."

"The emperor also has to respect the clan relatives, I heard that the clan relatives can depose the emperor."

"No, only the great elders of the clan have this right, and they have to be joint, and they have to list the terms of the emperor's immorality."

Liu Fang walked in and said embarrassedly, "Your Majesty, he's dead." ”

Well, Qin Chuan nodded and took a sip of wine: "If you die, you will die, notify him Lao Tzu, come and collect the corpse." ”

As the commander of the Nine Gates, Liu Fang has always listened to the words of his uncle Liu Zhongping and defended Emperor Qinchuan everywhere, but the clan relatives were beaten to death, which is the only example in Great Xia.

I'm afraid that once the news comes out, the entire clan will be turned upside down.

He sweated a lot, and he didn't dare to wipe it: "Your Majesty, the clan is ...... over there"

"This kind of thing will come out sooner or later, you go, bring Wang Wenzhi to me, and say that I invite him to visit the kiln."

"Huh?"

"Ahh

This place is not far from Wang Wenzhi's house, and the new house was given to him by Qin Chuan, and he is clear. Qin Chuan sat down at the table upstairs, drinking wine and eating melon seeds and waiting.

Before half an hour arrived, Wang Wenzhi came over, and he also heard about the killing of his clan relatives.

But after Wang Wenzhi became the uncle of the country and the first-class duke, he became more restrained in handling things, and did not dare to have the slightest transgression.

He came upstairs and stood behind Qin Chuan, silent.

Qin Chuan already felt his breathing: "Wenzhi, sit down, it's not in the palace now, I'm cheap to come out to play, you don't have to be so restrained." ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are afraid, the ministers heard that you want to invite the ministers to ......"

Qin Chuan smiled: "It's really convenient here, do you want to?" I'll find it for you now, and I'll not break my word. ”

"No, no, no, the minister is afraid, the minister just said casually, the minister...... It's not good for this bite. ”

In other words, Wang Wenzhi's wife died of illness, and now she is single, and she has no heirs in the family, and he has not been looking for it, and the affairs in the court are enough for him to be annoyed.

Just when Liu Fang went to look for him, he was still looking through the old copywriting, planning to clean up the cases that had been silted up.

"I killed Qin Yuanyang, do you know?"

"The minister knows."

"Aren't you upset?"

"The minister has no personal relationship with him, and he will definitely not be displeased, but the minister thinks that the emperor must be planning to completely rectify the clan by doing this."

Qin Chuan: "You still know me." The people of the clan showed off their might, committed crimes, and ruined the law, and the people of the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, and the Dali Temple did not dare to ask. This is not a good sign, how many dynasties have died like this. The people are unhappy, they can't live anymore, and if they have no place to redress their grievances, they will rebel, and I must be prepared for danger in times of peace. ”

Be prepared for danger in times of peace, it is too conservative to say, the current Daxia is a country full of holes.

Uncle Wang Wenzhi immediately said: "The minister understands what the emperor means, in recent days, the minister has been busy sorting out the backlog of cases, including more than a thousand things related to the clan. ”

"So much?"

"There are only those who miss, and there are no lies."

"I didn't do it before, did Zhou Dewei put it down?"

Wang Wenzhi said: "Emperor Shengming, this is a means for Zhou Dewei to win over his clan back then, he leans towards the government and the opposition, and the ministers are his protégés, and the power is weak, and the ministers want to handle those cases but dare not do it." Now that the emperor is in charge, the minister is very moved. ”

Just before Wang Wenzhi came here, Qin Chuan had already made the context of this matter clear.

In addition, people from all over the country should be allowed to come to the capital to complain, and they can be directly reported to the marble, the Criminal Department, the Inspectorate, or the Son of Heaven. “

This, but Qin Chuan's way of learning from Zhu Yuanzhang, the Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, cannot be bullied by the people.

Wang Wenzhi thought for a moment: "Your Majesty, this?" ”

"What's wrong?"

"The minister thinks that there are two things that are wrong, one is that there is no precedent for the people to sue the official, and as soon as this matter is opened, everyone who is an official will be in danger, who has no stain on him. Second, you're focused on the new law and the reform of slavery, which is already difficult, and it seems even more difficult to do the two things together. ”

Qin Chuan: "These two things do not conflict, and they can make up for each other's shortcomings." You must know that there is no war in the country at the moment, and this is a good time for me to reform the evils, and once the war starts, I will have no time to take care of it. There is one more thing, which is related to the military. ”
