Chapter 226 Confused Zhu Yuanzhang, please teach us Holy Father! 【Subscribe】

Studio.

A ray of light flashed, and Li Changsheng and Zhu Yuanzhang disappeared in Yingtian Mansion.

"Hey, where did the real person take Zhu Chongba?"

Seeing the light in the live broadcast room, Ye Fan couldn't help exclaiming.

"Did you take him back to the wilderness?"

Lin Meng guessed.

"It shouldn't be. The real person said just now that he will tell us the purpose of his visit soon."

Kou Zhong shook his head.

"You'll know when you look at it."

Lin Pingzhi stared at the screen expectantly.

"Before, the real person said that he would bring Zhu Yuanzhang to Honghuang and make him one of the three emperors and five emperors. Could it be that the real person is going to let Zhu Yuanzhang practice now, so that he can take the position of the emperor who will replace Yingzheng?"

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

"No, the real person said that he wanted to spread the Taoism of Jujiao. What does it have to do with spreading the Taoism for Zhu Yuanzhang to become the emperor? Guess the old man, it shouldn't be this matter."

Yao Chen shook his head and said.

"Hey, let's find out after reading it."

Wang Chao thought about it for a while, but he couldn't figure it out, so he just stopped thinking about it.

"Indeed, we'll find out after watching."

Others also responded.

"buzz"

A ray of light flashed, and Li Changsheng brought Zhu Yuanzhang to a wilderness.

As far as the eye can see, there are vast mountains all around, a plain at the foot, and a small river at the end.

Downstream of the small river, a small mountain village can be vaguely seen, surrounded by reclaimed fields, with faint smoke rising from cooking.

"Dare to ask the Holy Father, where is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang only felt a blur in front of his eyes, and when he could see things, he realized that he had come to this strange place.

He dared to swear that he had never been to this place, and he did not know where it was.

"Here, it's Sizhou Xuanweisi in the southwest of your Ming border."

Li Changsheng explained lightly: "If you go further west, you will arrive at the territory of Meng Yuan."

Sizhou Xuanweisi, also known as the Guizhou region in later generations, has always been a barren area, and it is also a place that the Central Plains Dynasty cannot control.

"Oh? This is Sizhou? Isn't it thousands of miles away from Yingtian?"

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard it, he didn't doubt Li Changsheng's words, but was rather in awe of his supernatural powers.

In just an instant, he came to this remote place from Yingtian Mansion thousands of miles away.

Such supernatural powers are really incredible.

"To be precise, this place is about three thousand miles away from Yingtian Mansion."

Li Changsheng said lightly: "Pindao brought you here to let you see the real situation of the people."

"That's right, thank you Holy Father!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was taken aback for a moment, then solemnly bowed to Li Changsheng.

He couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, after all, the emperor was at the top of the temple.

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang was born at the bottom, it was many years ago.

Only by personally experiencing the hardships of the people at the bottom can we formulate better national policies and treat the people well.

The meaning of the Holy Father is to let him not forget the fundamentals and keep the people in his heart at all times.

"No, you didn't understand what Pindao meant."

Li Changsheng couldn't hide what Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking. He glanced at it, shook his head and said.

Then, Li Changsheng stretched out his hand, and a stone table and two stone benches grew out of the ground.

"Sit down, let's have a good chat first."

Li Changsheng sat down and motioned for Zhu Yuanzhang to sit down too.

"Yes, thank you Holy Father."

After Zhu Yuanzhang thanked him, he sat down as he said.

"Do you think that after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, the people of the world will be very happy, or will it remain the same?"

Li Changsheng changed a set of tea sets, made a pot of tea, took a sip of the tea, and asked indifferently.

"The Holy Father is testing our level of governing the country?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took a cup of tea carefully and took a sip, then said:

"To be honest with the Holy Father, we were born in a humble background, and we don't know a lot of Chinese characters. It can be said that we are the least emperor in history."

He didn't shy away from his past at all, and said loudly: "However, we are still young, only 40 years old this year, and we can learn from what we don't understand."

"We don't know much about governing the country, but we have a group of old brothers to help us, and we can always formulate a national policy that is in line with our great Ming."

"These days, we are discussing with Tao An, Liu Bowen, Li Shanchang, and Zhu Sheng, how to formulate my Great Ming law."

"We thought, that group of officials is the most cunning and corrupt. We plan to formulate a series of harsh laws to keep these officials under strict control, so as not to harm the people."

"As for the people in the world, Holy Father, you don't have to worry about it. We were born in a poor family, so we naturally know how to treat the people well."

"So, Holy Father's question, we think that after the founding of our Great Ming Dynasty, the people of the world will live happier lives than before."

After Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment, he said eloquently.

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but recall his childhood.

At that time, his family was so poor that they only had one pair of trousers, and only those who went out wore trousers, and those who did not go out stayed at home with their buttocks naked.

Moreover, he often didn't have enough to eat, and he was hungry three times after one meal. Later, his father Zhu Wusi, mother Chen Shi, and elder brother Zhu Chongsi starved to death one after another.

The Yuan court was immoral, cruel and unkind, and set all kinds of exorbitant taxes to exploit the people.

Local officials are corrupt like wolves, and there are four classes, which make the Han people all over the world miserable.

Therefore, after becoming emperor, Zhu Yuanzhang hated those corrupt officials the most, and had a faint plan in his heart.

He wants to formulate a very strict law of the Ming Dynasty to control officials all over the world and prevent them from corruption.

"You're talking about the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", right? Pindao has already seen it in the future, let me show you."

After Li Changsheng heard this, he was not surprised at all. He stretched out his hand and grasped into the void, as if he had traveled through time and space and grasped towards the future.

"crash"

As if a fish was floating in the water, Li Changsheng grabbed a thick book and put it on the stone table.

On the future space-time line, after four revisions in the first year of Hongwu, the sixth year of Hongwu, the 22nd year of Hongwu, and the 30th year of Hongwu, the finally completed "Daming Law" was held by Li Changsheng and brought to the current timeline.

"Here, this is the "Great Law of the Ming Dynasty" issued by you in the 30th year of Hongwu. You can take a good look at it."

After handing the book to Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Changsheng explained to him.

"Hiss Hongwu for 30 years?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked again, what kind of fairy trick is this?
Hongwu 30 years, that is, after 33?Can you reach out and grab items from the future?

He had never heard of such incredible supernatural powers, and he was greatly shocked.

"It's just a small supernatural power, nothing surprising."

Li Changsheng waved his hand and said, "You should take a good look first."

"Yes."

Zhu Yuanzhang suppressed the shock in his heart, and after answering, he lowered his head and looked at the "Daming Law" in front of him.

Opening the catalog, there are a total of 230 items in four series, of which there are 74 items in the "Great Law", 87 items in the "Continued Edition of the Great Law", 43 items in the "Third Series of the Great Law", and 32 items in the "Great Lawy Military Officials".

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that this was what the Holy Father said, and it was the result of four revisions in total.

The first law, one volume, is the specific provisions on five punishments, ten evils, eight judgments and other sentencing principles, which is the general rule of Ming law.

There are two volumes of the Sub-official Law, which is mainly about the laws of the bureaucrats who perform their duties illegally;

Second Household Law, with seven volumes, is the law to adjust household service, land house, marriage, education, money and debt, warehouse and store management;

The second law of rites, with two volumes, is the law on sacrifices and rituals;

There are five volumes of military laws, which are laws for defending the palace, Guanjin fortresses, military administration, stables, postal stations, etc.;
There are eleven volumes of the Subcriminal Law, which is the core part of the Ming Law, including laws on robbery, wounding and killing, fighting, scolding, taking stolen goods, fraud, adultery, litigation, arrest and death, and imprisonment;
The last Gonglu, which has two volumes, is about the law of construction and river defense.

In addition to the five punishments, punishments such as exiled exile and death penalty were added, and there were also those who exterminated nine or ten clans.

All in all, Dagao's attack targets all the officials and the people, but the emphasis is on punishing corrupt officials, and more than [-]% of its items belong to the management of officials.

Zhu Yuanzhang became more and more satisfied with this later generations of "Da Ming Law Proclamation".

Of course, this was originally the law enacted by him in the future, so it was naturally in line with his wishes.

"Okay, this is the clear law in our minds. Those scholars are benevolent and moral on the surface, but secretly they are thieves and prostitutes. They should be punished."

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but patted his thigh and said excitedly when he saw "corruption of both 60 and [-] people, all peeling last grass, and no loan".

"So, do you think such a harsh law is useful?"

After Zhu Yuanzhang finished reading the "Daming Laws" in his hand, Li Changsheng asked slowly.

"It is useful, it must be useful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang blushed and said excitedly.

"Not always."

Li Changsheng shook his head and denied it.

"Impossible, we have formulated such a perfect law, we don't believe that those officials will not be dishonest!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head suddenly, and said solemnly.

"Hearing is believing, seeing is believing!"

Li Changsheng didn't bother to argue, so he just said something softly.

Then, he reached out and pointed out, and the whole world froze in an instant.

"Pindao will show you the changes in the entire Ming Dynasty after the enactment of the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty."

Li Changsheng's voice came out slowly, but Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't care less now.

Because he found that everything around him was changing.

The withered grass on the ground soon became emerald green, grew again, withered and yellowed, and emerged from the ground again, just like reincarnation.

It seems that the supernatural power of accelerating time has been applied, making the wheel of time move forward quickly.

Not only that, the mountain village in the distance has also undergone drastic changes.

At the beginning, the people in the mountain village grew up quickly from babies, got married and had children, and grew old quickly until they entered the tombs.

The mountain village has also gradually grown in size, from a few households at the beginning to a dozen or hundreds of households.

But when a great chaos came, these hundreds of families died out quickly, and this place was reduced to a wasteland.

"In the first year of Hongwu, the law was established, and the emperor's order was issued to the world. In this year, all the officials were silent, and every step was startled, and they did not dare to take a step beyond the thunder."

From Li Changsheng's voice, it was rumored that Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have seen the future, and the officials in the whole world were walking on thin ice, not daring to reach out for corruption.

Even if there are corrupt persons, they will be sentenced to death soon, ranging from amputation of hands, feet, and castration to severe cases of peeling the last grass and killing the nine clans.

All of a sudden, the mood of the entire Ming Dynasty officialdom changed, and everyone felt insecure and dared not embezzle any more.

"In the 15th year of Hongwu, the emperor established Jinyiwei, supervised all officials, and granted the power of reconnaissance, arrest, trial, and punishment."

However, as time goes by, there are always people who are not afraid of death, and because the laws enacted by Zhu Yuanzhang are too harsh, the salaries of officials are too small to support their families.

Some officials have taken risks, and corrupt officials have been banned repeatedly. Even if they are sentenced to death, they cannot be stopped.

As a result, the emperor was furious, and reorganized the Duwei Mansion of the Imperial Guard Army into Jinyiwei, ordered him to supervise all officials, and further strengthened the management of officials.

In addition, the emperor specially set up a "drum of grievances" outside the Meridian Gate. If the common people have grievances and cannot seek justice in the local area, they can go to Beijing to beat the drums and directly sue the imperial court.

This series of actions severely deterred officials all over the world and made them restrain their behavior greatly.

But it is a pity that blocking is not as good as sparse. In the 30 years of Hongwu in the later period, more and more officials became corrupt.

"History of the Ming Dynasty records that during his 31 years in power, Emperor Hongwu launched six large-scale crackdowns on corruption and killed 15 corrupt officials."

"Killing corrupt officials has been throughout and has not weakened, but the phenomenon of corrupt officials has not been eradicated. In the later years of Emperor Hongwu, he could only say, "When the government is in charge, the crime is in the evening, and in the evening, it is the same; The lament of heavy crimes and more crimes."

"After the death of Emperor Hongwu, because the "Daming Laws" was too harsh, the successors abandoned it, and this law was gradually abolished."

Li Changsheng continued to speak, and when it was heard by Zhu Yuanzhang, corresponding images appeared in front of his eyes.

Those scenes are the changes in the lives of the people all over the world.

At the beginning, the people's lives were rich, and their faces were filled with smiles.

In the later period, corruption was rampant and repeated prohibitions continued, and it was no longer difficult for them to maintain a prosperous life.

The so-called 'poor family magistrate, Miemen Fu Yin'.

For the people at the bottom, a small seven-rank county magistrate can easily ruin their families and even their families.

Not to mention, there are those cruel officials like jackals.

Although they are not in the ranks, they are not officials, but they are all good at dealing with the people at the bottom, and they use their best methods.

For the people of the world, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Although they have the "Daming Law" in hand, they are not literate, and they don't know how to resist, let alone go to the capital to sue the imperial court.

The county magistrate of the head of a county is their heaven, and it is enough to control their life and death.

"buzz"

A ray of light flashed, and everything before it returned to the original point, and the green grass on the ground became withered again.

The mountain village that was 'disappeared' in the distance has returned, and it has returned to its original appearance, with only a few families.

The time has returned to the fourth day of the first month of the first year of Hongwu.

Zhu Yuanzhang opened his mouth wide, his eyes were full of shock, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

He didn't understand whether all this was illusion or reality.

Is this a trick by the Holy Father of Longevity, or is it the real future?
"Tell me, are the people in the world happy after the founding of the Ming Dynasty, or are they still as unfortunate as they were in the Yuan Dynasty?"

At this time, Li Changsheng spoke up and asked the previous question again.

"I don't know, we don't know, ah."

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't know, he looked up to the sky and let out a long roar.

The question of the Holy Father of Longevity, like a giant hammer, hit his chest heavily, making him breathless.

Behind the giant hammer were innocent people all over the world, and they roared at him angrily.

"Aren't you the emperor who claims to be from the bottom, and you still say you want to treat us people well? Is this what you call good? Bah!"

"You liar, what is the difference between you and the emperors of Meng Yuan?"

A sound of questioning hit Zhu Yuanzhang's mind and made him at a loss.

His eyes were full of confusion, anger, and helplessness.

His mind was blank, and all kinds of thoughts hit his mind.

"Hey, don't wake up yet!"

Seeing this, Li Changsheng yelled lightly, like a Hong Zhong Dalu, directly hitting Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

"Please Holy Father teach us!"

The confusion in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes disappeared, he stood up, knelt down like pushing a golden mountain and falling a jade pillar, and said solemnly.

This kneeling was not only out of selfishness.

This kneeling is also for hundreds of millions of people.

This kneeling is even more for the community of the world.
