"Father, the sons and daughters feel that they should still investigate clearly, and it is better to punish the less serious crimes, after all, those officials who give gifts also have their own difficulties."

Zhu Biao has been in charge of politics for several years, and he has also heard of many cats in the court, and it is inevitable to give gifts to important ministers who hold great power.

Especially for officials from other places, it is not easy to come to Beijing, who doesn't want to finish their affairs and go home quickly, if they don't take care of these Beijing officials in charge, they will be stuck there at that time, and a little delay for a month will be enough for them.

"Small punishment and big punishment? Do you know that the money they send is all stripped from the people, and it is often thousands of dollars, how much is that life-saving money for the people? We have decided, this time we will kill anyone involved! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said with murderous eyes.

Zhu Biao was taken aback, and hurriedly persuaded: "Father, many of these officials must be forced to kill them, and they can't be killed at once, and the ministers feel that they should be given a chance." ”

"As a last resort? Which one is forced to do so? Which is greedy? Can you tell the difference? ”

"This ......"

Zhu Biao hesitated, if you really want to distinguish it, it is actually possible, but it will take a lot of manpower to waste a lot of manpower to investigate, these officials are scattered all over the place, and it is not easy to really investigate in detail.

"Hmph, if you can't tell the difference, we'll kill together, and I'd rather kill the wrong one than let it go!" Zhu Yuanzhang said viciously.

"Father, the son thinks this is inappropriate, wouldn't this be wrongful to kill a lot of innocents?" Zhu Biao objected.

"Are they innocent, but aren't the people innocent? Biao'er, how did we teach you? If you want to put the people in front, do you know how many people can be killed by a corrupt official? ”

"Father, the son still thinks it's inappropriate, the father and the emperor deal with it like this, it's not what Renjun did......"

"Why don't you understand, we told you......"

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the louder he became, his eyes widened like copper bells, and he spoke like thunder, and reprimanded the eldest child.

Originally, he was angry today, although he scolded Li Wei and vented it, but at this time, Zhu Biao objected one after another, and the anger immediately came up again.

Zhu Biao was not to be outdone, and he refuted the scriptures with his neck in his neck, which made his father jump to his feet with anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang is really not as good as himself in terms of talent, after all, Zhu Biao was carefully cultivated by him, and he himself was born poor, although he made up for his knowledge after gaining power, but he is still much worse than a good child.

Zhu Yuanzhang quarreled with Hao'er, and Li Wei watched it with relish from the side, but unfortunately there were no melons to eat, so it was a pity to come and take the melon seeds......

"You're so angry, you...... Li! You explain to him, and if you don't understand, we'll beat your ass! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was so frightened that he couldn't speak, his eyes turned, and he suddenly saw Li Wei watching the excitement next to him, and immediately shifted his goal.

Li Wei was dumbfounded, his smile froze on his face, and he looked at these two innocently, what do you have to do with me?

The two of them were also tired of arguing, and they both focused on Li Wei, waiting for him to give a comment.

I'm X, is that right? This is the emperor and the crown prince!

Li Wei thought about it, and in the end, it was Zhu Yuanzhang's force that defeated Zhu Biao's truth, and he decided to say it to Zhu Yuanzhang.

After sorting out his thoughts, Li Wei said: "Your Royal Highness the Prince, let me give you an example, if you are speeding on the road now, and there are a few children playing in the middle of the road ahead......

"Impossible, how could Lone disregard human life and drive a car, Lone would never do such a thing!" Before Li Wei finished speaking, Zhu Biao immediately interrupted.

Li Wei: "......"

"I mean what if, if you know?"

Don't ask me who it is!

Zhu Biaoying's brows furrowed, and finally reluctantly accepted Li Wei's hypothesis.

Li Wei continued: "If there are a few children playing in front of this speeding carriage, and you have no time to stop at this time, the only way to save them is to make a sharp turn, and on the side of the road, there is also a child, if you make a sharp turn, then this child will die, may I ask His Royal Highness the Prince, do you turn or not?" ”

This is the story of the train and the child that Li Wei heard in later generations, which he adapted and used, he listened to the two people quarrel for so long and understood, in fact, no one is right or wrong, this is a matter of trade-off, Lao Zhu decisively chose the people, and Zhu Biao has always wanted to have it all, but this can't be done!

In ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, communication was inconvenient, and the means of investigating the case were also single, so it took a lot of manpower, material resources and time to find out all these officials, how difficult it was? Rather than this, it is better not to investigate, whether it is to kill all the people and recruit people or pick the key killing, other pardons are smaller than the cost of finding out.

Some people may think that Jinyiwei is all over the world and pervasive, isn't it easy to find out this thing?

However, that is just an exaggeration of legends and film and television dramas, in fact, Jinyiwei can really do it everywhere, I am afraid that it is only in the capital that is one-third of an acre, as for the field, they collect intelligence like this:

First of all, the hooligans and gangsters got useful information and reported it to Jinyiwei, and the garrisons in various parts of Jinyiwei reported it after receiving the information, and the above thought it was useful, so they would send people to bring money to the bottom to verify, and by the way, they would give these gangsters some rewards, just like the news contributions of later generations, so that they collected intelligence and did not have to spend so much money to support so many people.

Li Wei finished telling the story and waited for Zhu Biao to make a choice, but Zhu Biao was very smart and immediately seized the loophole: "I can turn to the other side!" ”

Li Wei: "......"

Damn, he made it up temporarily, and he ignored the function of other people's rails!

"Let's say you can't go the other way!" Li Wei hurriedly made up for it.

"Why not?"

"Because...... Because...... Because that's hypothetical, it's not the point! The point is, can you turn around? ”

Li Wei was a little annoyed and angry, "because" he didn't come up with a reasonable reason for a long time.

Zhu Biao frowned, he understood what Li Wei meant, this was to give him a multiple-choice question, either go straight and die several, or turn around and die one.

The right thing to do is undoubtedly to make a sharp turn, after all, it is better to die one than several, but how innocent is that child standing on the side of the road?

Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite interesting when he listened to Li Wei's example, but he was not like Zhu Biao, if he was asked to choose, he would not hesitate to choose a sharp turn! For a great monarch, morality is not important, reputation is not important, even family affection is not important, gains and losses are important, for the sake of the country, even if it will leave a reputation for the ages, they will not hesitate to do it, which is why many emperors through the ages will leave a name for cruelty.

Zhu Biao hesitated for a long time before he said with difficulty: "I choose to turn." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but sigh again.

"Yes, didn't His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also make such a choice? Now these innocent officials are children on the side of the road, even if they are not wrong, but for the sake of the people, they still have to be like His Majesty said, rather kill the wrong than let go! ”

"Isn't there a better way?" Zhu Biao asked unwillingly.

Li Wei said helplessly: "Your Highness, in this way, let's assume that six out of every ten of these officials are corrupt officials......

"Impossible, how can there be six corrupt officials out of ten officials!" Zhu Biao interrupted again.

"Humph!" Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly on the side, he grew up under the bullying of those corrupt officials at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and he knew how easy it was for officials to be corrupt, Li Wei said that six out of ten officials were greedy, and he felt that it was too little!

Li Wei paused for a moment and continued: "Okay, let's assume that there are nine corrupt officials out of ten officials. ”

Zhu Biao: "......"

Zhu Biao was speechless, I mean you said too much, not too little!
