Storm Zhao was moved.

He suddenly got up and sat down at Su Yang's table.

Seeing this scene, Ye Xixian also closed his mouth and stood honestly on the side.

Don't look at the two of them walking together, but their identities and statuses are very different.

Ye Xixian is just a seventh-grade supervising imperial history, but Violent Zhao is a scholar of the Criminal Department, a court member of the first grade!

Now that Storm Zhao took the initiative to release his goodwill to Su Yang, Ye Xixian naturally didn't dare to hold on to Su Yang.

It's just that Ye Xixian is a little suspicious, what is so special about this market kid in front of him?

Could it be that because he speaks wildly, he is an out-and-out ignorant maniac?

"The old man looks at the little friend extraordinary, can you ask for a lesson or two."

Su Yang's face turned straight when he heard this, "The old gentleman is serious, the kid is just a rough man, and he doesn't dare to accept the name of the old gentleman for advice." ”

Storm Zhao was not polite, and directly asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Since the emperor's accession to the throne, he has lenient the prison sentences, approved the official system, reduced and exempted Jiangnan taxes, and reused literati and doctors...... Forming a new atmosphere of governing the world with benevolence, there is a sign of great governance in the world, why are Xiaoyou not optimistic? ”

Su Yang glanced at Bang Zhao again, and saw that his words and deeds revealed a dignified and righteous atmosphere, and he felt more and more that he was not an ordinary person.

Now that the words have come to this, Su Yang will not hide it.

"The original intention of leniencing the prison was to abolish the harsh punishment law of the Hongwu Dynasty, not to restrain the people of the world with the harsh punishment law, and to publicize and convince people with virtue, in order to achieve the goal of educating the people and leniency and prison."

"The original intention of the imperial court's move is good, but everything is too much, the old gentleman has not thought about it, why does Hong Wuye vigorously implement the strict punishment law?"

"To crack down on corrupt officials!" As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Tyrant Zhao was naturally extremely familiar with the laws and decrees of the Ming Dynasty, and subconsciously gave an answer.

If you want to say that Grandpa Tai's hatred for corrupt officials and corrupt officials, it is ranked among all the emperors of all dynasties.

Since the Ming Dynasty established mountains and rivers, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang launched and led the largest and strictest anti-corruption campaign in history.

He adhered to the concept of "governing the country with heavy discipline", and vigorously cracked down on corruption by ruling the country fiercely.

During this period, a large number of illegal and corrupt officials were executed, including the founding general Zhu Liangzu and his son-in-law Ouyang Lun, who even killed tens of thousands of officials in one fell swoop because of several shocking cases such as the Guo Huan case and the empty seal case.

This anti-corruption campaign led by Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang personally lasted for a long time, the measures were strict, the methods were ruthless, the punishments were cruel, and the number of killings was rare in all dynasties.

But because of this, although the corruption of officials has been effectively curbed, the courtiers and officials are panicked and uneasy, and there is even an outrageous phenomenon of literati unwilling to become officials!

Storm Zhao once flipped through the files of the Criminal Department, and every time he read about the empty seal case, Guo Huan case and other bloody cases involving thousands of people, he couldn't help but gasp.

"Hong Wuye is known for ruling the country fiercely and vigorously cracking down on corruption, which is understandable."

"But the harsh punishment used is too harsh, and if it is not changed, the court will lose the support of the people."

"Losing the hearts and minds of the people?" Su Yang smiled, "It should be the loss of the gentry's heart, right?" ”

"Grandpa Tai loves the people like a son, and cracking down on corrupt officials is also for the people, as soon as the new emperor took the throne, he abolished the harsh punishment law formulated by Grandpa Tai, have you ever thought about what the consequences will be?"

What are the consequences?

Storm Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Su Yang a little blankly.

"The harsh punishment and strict law are the shackles that are put on the necks of officials and gentry, so that they dare not be corrupt and bribe-taking, and dare not fish the people!"

"Now that the shackles have been removed, imagine what these officials and gentry will do? It's like a man who is dying of hunger, and suddenly a pile of food appears in front of him, and the old gentleman guesses what they will do. ”

As soon as these words came out, Tyranny's face sank suddenly.

Although Su Yang's metaphor is very inappropriate, it is not difficult for people to understand what he means.

Without the deterrence of strict punishment and strict laws, those officials and gentry will definitely let go of their hands and feet to engage in corruption, and precisely because they were suppressed very much during the Hongwu period, these people are even very likely to retaliate and corrupt on a large scale, and become more and more unscrupulous to loot the people's fat and ointment!

"What's more, the new emperor also changed the national policy of the great grandfather of emphasizing military force over literature, reusing literati and doctors, giving them all kinds of preferential treatment, trying to win over the hearts of the gentry, which will only further fuel the arrogance of the officials and gentry!"

"The kid has heard a lot of ridiculous things, and many of the officials are guilty of crimes to death, and the old gentleman should know better than the kid!"

How many of the officials are guilty of crimes to death!

As soon as these words came out, Tyrant Zhao couldn't help but glance at Su Yang deeply.

Officials should be beheaded according to the law, but after the new emperor ascended the throne, he implemented lenient governance, so that instead of being beheaded, these criminals were only punished lightly, and they were still on the official side.

And the price they paid was just to spend some money, find a relationship, and clear the way.

If this goes on for a long time, I'm afraid that the entire Ming Dynasty Hall will become a miasma of smoke and erosion!

As the secretary of the Criminal Department, Tyrant Zhao has long been dissatisfied with this, and has played the new emperor many times, but every time he sinks into the sea.

I have to admit that Su Yang's words really hit the nail on the head!

The new emperor is too good to the gentry and gentlemen!

Su Yang opened the chatterbox and simply said it at a time.

"The new emperor changed the official system, renamed the Tongzheng Temple, Dali Temple changed to the Dali Division, etc., these reforms are just name changes, the pursuit of retro, has no practical significance, only to increase interference!"

"The new emperor reduced the taxes in Jiangnan, which is indeed conducive to alleviating the contradictions between the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions and the imperial court, but directly reducing the heavy taxes in Jiangnan, how can the imperial court's taxes be guaranteed?"

"Jiangnan taxes are heavy, and the tax law must be reformed, otherwise it is only superficial to rely on tax reduction and exemption, and it is difficult to fundamentally solve the problem.

When Ye Xixian heard this, he couldn't hold back the anger in his heart anymore.

Listening to Su Yang say that such a big deal, it is meaningless to cooperate with the various new policies implemented by His Majesty the Emperor?

As Emperor Jianwen's little fan brother, Ye Xixian is now eager to put Su Yang in prison for punishment!

"Heh, a boy in the market dares to discuss state affairs in vain, do you know better than the princes above the court?"

"Yellow-mouthed son, I really don't know what to say!"

Su Yang didn't get angry when he heard this, the words have already come to this point, it's your business whether you can listen to it or not!

Storm Zhao took a deep breath and glanced up at Ye Xixian with a little displeasure, who was immediately silent and didn't dare to say anything more.

Su Yang's words were so violent that the more he listened, the more frightened he became, and the more he listened, the more he felt reasonable.

Because the implementation of the new policy is too smooth, the government and the opposition are fully supportive!

It turns out that the root cause of the problem lies in this!

The so-called reform of Jianwen is just a mere formality and superficial, and fails to solve the problem fundamentally.

And those officials and doctors are happy to be like this, deceiving their superiors and subordinates and secretly corrupting, forming the so-called peaceful and prosperous world!

The reason why they do not oppose it is because the restructuring is beneficial to them and makes it easier for them to be corrupt and take bribes!

On the contrary, those so-called benevolent governments have never been put into practice!

Have the people ever benefited from tangible benefits?

Is such a restructuring, such a new deal, really necessary?

For a while, Storm Zhao was in turmoil.

"Old man!"

"Maybe you don't know yet, do you?"

"The people have begun to give the court a nickname."

Ya name?

What Ya name?

Storm Zhao was stunned when he heard this, and he vaguely felt uneasy.

Su Yang smiled kindly and spit out four words.

"Scholars rule the country, show the talent court!"
