Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 255 Kill Kill Kill!

In Fengtian Temple.

After hearing King Jin's stern words, Zhu Yuanzhang's tense expression finally became vivid, and he said in a deep voice:
"Although King Jin's remarks are a bit extreme, there is one point that is very good - for the government, if there is no authorization, it is forbidden! We never said that you can do it, you can't do it!"

"Yes..." The emperor's words greatly restricted the power of the government, but Hu Weiyong could only bite the bullet and replied: "But this time, don't you know..."

"This time we can take it lightly, and this time is not an example." Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your generosity." Hu Weiyong hurriedly kowtowed, Li Tai and Wu Bingzhong also kowtowed quickly, and the civil servants followed suit.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled teasingly, and announced slowly but firmly:
"Passing down my will, printing big cases in vain, and deceiving the emperor, the crime is extremely heinous. All the chief seal officials and those who have signed names will be arrested and sent to Beijing. The chief seal officials will be executed, and the deputy will use a staff of one hundred for the army. This is my honor!"

"Ah..." The officials kneeling to listen to the order raised their heads one after another after hearing the words.They all stared dumbfounded and said, "This, is this still called lenient punishment?"

"Your Majesty, talents are not like leeks. Once you cut off a stubble, you can grow another stubble. The court seeks wise men and appoints many officials. It is very difficult to get an outstanding talent. It is even more difficult to train him to be an independent leader. It will take decades to achieve it." Hu Weiyong advised with tears:
"Among the more than 300 Zhengyin officials, most of them are good officials who are reasonable, honest and discerning. Your Majesty can't indiscriminately execute them all for crimes that are not enough to convict! That is not only an irreparable loss for Daming, but also It will lead to chaos!"

"Fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang said unmoved: "If it is really a reasonable, honest and observant official, he would not print his seal on white paper and hand it over to the people below! But anyone who does this will be punished." It is a generation who deceives the emperor and ignores his superiors, who is bold and reckless, and who is lucky at worst, who is lawless, why should he kill him?"

"They are guilty, but they are not guilty of death, Your Majesty..." Hu Weiyong said sadly.

"Prime Minister Hu, don't talk about it anymore. We have personally experienced the rule of corrupt officials in the late Yuan Dynasty, and we know how they manipulated the law and how they used it to harm the people. So what is going on with this empty printing paper and has it been used? Come to commit crimes, you know, I know, everyone present knows it." Zhu Yuanzhang said very firmly:

"One by one, they argue with us and confuse black and white, and they don't feel that they are wrong at all. This is the real bad habit-you brought the official corruption of the Yuan Dynasty to our Ming Dynasty intact!"

"..." All the officials blushed and were speechless after being reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Because the officialdom is completely the way of the Yuan Dynasty, and the officials are all the style of the Yuan Dynasty, so my Ming Dynasty is no different from the Yuan Dynasty, it is a nest of snakes and rats, full of smog!
"If this malpractice is not reformed, if you want to achieve good governance, you will never be able to achieve it. If you lose it, you will be lenient, so I will help you fiercely! Corrupt officials must be severely punished and severely punished!"

Boss Zhu's powerful aura made all the oppressive officials bow their heads, and now no one dared to speak again.

"Oh, by the way, we forgot about you." After Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, he glanced at Li Tai and Wu Bingzhi, as well as Pang Qiyou, another servant who had never dared to say a word and hoped innocently to be ignored, and said slowly:

"The officials of the Household Department knew the bad habits of empty seals, but instead of reporting them, they indulged them blindly, and forced sophistry after the incident happened. This is really the culprit and must be severely punished. Why do you give up people with a knife?"

"The minister is here!" Tang Ding, who was on duty, immediately responded loudly.

"Push Li Tai, Wu Bingzhong, and Pang Qiyou onto Chang'an Avenue, cut them in half and abandon the market!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, please spare me..." The three of them collapsed on the spot, struggling and begging on their knees.

"Your Majesty..." Hu Weiyong quickly knelt down.

"Whoever talks nonsense again, let's go with them and break it up." Zhu Yuanzhang said a murderous sentence through his teeth.

Hu Weiyong and the others were like geese with their necks strangled, and they dared not say a word.They watched Li Tai and other three household officials being dragged down.

When the cries disappeared at the gate of the Golden Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced coldly at the trembling officials, and finally said in a deep voice:

"We have nine commandments for nobles, and I also remind you three points——

"First, don't play tricks on us anymore, we have seen everything, and we will never think of you in a good way!

"Second, don't think that the law does not punish the public. We are never lenient in killing people. Even if we kill the court, it doesn't matter. At worst, we can start all over again! We are not afraid at all.

"Third, don't think we're trying to scare you. If someone doesn't believe in evil and just wants to try, whether their necks are hard or our old Zhu's knife edge is hard, then just let them come, and we will make sure you are satisfied! Let your whole family accompany you on the road together, the whole family will be neat and tidy, and will never be separated.

"Do you understand?" In the last sentence, the Qi in Dantian burst out, making the ears of all officials buzzing.

"Yes, I will bear in mind the teachings of the emperor." The officials replied with trepidation.

"Retire!" Zhu Yuanzhang waved his sleeves, he didn't want to see these disgusting ministers again today.

"Back to court..." Eunuch Wu hurriedly sang loudly.

"I will send you off to Your Majesty respectfully." All the officials bowed and knelt down, respectfully sending the emperor and the crown prince off.

When Zhu Yuanzhang got up, he beckoned and motioned for the third child to go with him.

King Jin hurriedly got up, accompanied the prince by the emperor's side, and left Fengtian Hall.

~~
After the emperor retired, Cao Guogong and the other dukes got up with the generals and walked out of the hall.

Hu Weiyong also got up with the support of officials from Zhongshu Province.

When passing in front of Hu Weiyong, the Hou Yemen all looked respectful and bowed to salute.

Although Hu Xiang's struggle in the Golden Palace today cannot be said to be completely successful, it has already won the respect of the nobles in Huaixi.

This is true for generals, let alone civil servants.

Even those officials who used to rely on Li Shanchang and never put him in their eyes were now respectful and stood beside Hu Weiyong with low eyebrows.

Apparently, everyone believed that Hu Weiyong's hard line today allowed many of them to escape their lives.

If it weren't for the wrong occasion, they would have knocked Hu Xiang down.

"Everyone, have you memorized the hadith?" Hu Weiyong asked slowly, breathing out a foul breath.

"Return to Enxiang, remember."

"Also remember that the times have changed, let's throw away the old routine of Wen Tian and Wu Xi." Hu Weiyong said earnestly:
"In the future, we must change our minds, abide by orders and fear the law, clean ourselves and love the people, so that we can clarify the administration of officials and make the emperor look at us with admiration."

"Yes, we would like to follow the instructions of your kindness." All the civil servants bowed respectfully.

From this moment, Hu Weiyong's status in the hearts of civil servants finally caught up with or even surpassed that of Li Shanchang.

"Let's go, colleagues, let's see them off three times." After Hu Weiyong finished speaking, he left Fengtian Hall surrounded by a group of civil servants.
