Daming: Spoilers about the future, Zhu Yuanzhang collapsed

Chapter 259 Han Cheng shocked Dao Yan to death with just one word!

"Don't rush to leave the court just yet, I still have something to ask you."

In the main hall, all kinds of things that need to be reported and dealt with have been reported.

All the officials were waiting for Zhu Yuanzhang to give the order to disperse the court.

As a result, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at these ministers at this time and said this.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, these courtiers, who were waiting to have a meal after the court was over, felt a sudden shock in their hearts.

It's as uncomfortable as it feels.

The morning session is really tiring, and I have to get up at the third or fourth watch.

If you have something you like to eat and have the conditions at home, you will be asked to prepare some food in advance.

But most people come to court on an empty stomach.

On the one hand, it is because there are many officials who are reluctant to eat this extra meal.

There are also some people who can afford to eat, but they wake up too early in the morning and have no appetite and cannot eat.

After the morning court, the palace will take care of the food.

Although the meals provided by Zhu Yuanzhang were not very good, they usually consisted of two dishes and one soup.

One of the dishes is pickled vegetables.

There are even many times when there are only steamed buns and rice porridge.

Even these buns are often made with vegan fillings and no meat.

But these people got up early in the morning, and now they are all hungry.

They are all looking forward to eating.

Even the meals provided by Zhu Yuanzhang were not very good.

But in this case, as long as it can fill the stomach, why is there so much pickyness?

Everyone was waiting for the court to end and go to eat. Who would have thought that Zhu Yuanzhang would suddenly say such a thing again.

The destructive power of these words is exactly the same as that of later generations, who after the last class at noon heard the school bell and wanted to rush out to eat immediately, but found that the teacher was dragging the class.

Although the courtiers felt uncomfortable, they did not dare to disobey.

All I can do is stand here and wait.

And I prayed to Zhu Yuanzhang in my heart to keep the story short, but don’t end it as soon as you talk about it.

Otherwise, when they go to eat, the food will be cold.

And Zhu Yuanzhang, a stingy man, would not order people to carry the food back to heat it in order to save some money on firewood.

They can only eat cold food.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw the reactions of these courtiers and felt very happy.

These courtiers just want to give them some means when nothing happens.

Don't let their life be too easy.

Zhu Yuanzhang had figured out their eagerness to eat, so he specifically left this matter at this time.

The purpose is to delay them and see how they want to eat but can't.

We don’t know what kind of psychology Zhu Yuanzhang had to do such a thing.

Anyway, he doesn't like to be a good person on a daily basis.

In this regard, there is something to be said for Han Cheng, who was sent tables, chairs and benches by Zhu Yuanzhang in the middle of the night and woke up twice in one night.

"Tell me, tell me, are the salaries we pay you low? Are they enough?"

Zhu Yuanzhang paused, looked at the courtiers in the hall, and said slowly.

With one sentence said, everyone in the court was stunned.

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in confusion.

They really didn't expect that this was what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to say before leaving the court!

What kind of style did Zhu Hongwu have, and what was his idea?
Why do you suddenly ask about salary?

Don't you know whether the salary you are given is low or not enough, or whether it is enough to spend?
Throughout all dynasties, your salary has been low, right?

When this matter was mentioned, everyone present felt aggrieved.

However, no one dared to speak randomly at this time before they figured out what Zhu Yuanzhang meant.

They were worried that Zhu Yuanzhang was fishing.

Never overestimate Zhu Hongwu's character. He can really do such things.

To be honest, the salary is too low, they really don't have the guts.

Afraid that Zhu Hongwu would be furious, he would use this opportunity to attack them and punish them.

They said that the salary was high and it was enough, but they were afraid that Zhu Hongwu, an inhumane fellow, would take this opportunity to reduce their salary.

This is really a fatal question.

Therefore, after Zhu Yuanzhang asked this question, there was silence in the court.

No one dared to speak.

One of them might get himself involved, but that's the second best thing.

The most important thing is that anyone who gives a bad answer and causes Zhu Yuanzhang to reduce his salary will definitely become the public enemy of all courtiers.

From now on, if you want to stay above the court and continue to hang out, it will be really difficult!
"Why don't you speak?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for a while, and when no one said anything, he looked at them and asked.

It was okay if he didn't ask, but when he asked, everyone became even more silent.

All of them lowered their heads and remained motionless, just like wooden stakes.

They were afraid that the slightest conspicuous move would be noticed by Zhu Yuanzhang and asked them to answer this fatal question.

"You won't say anything, right? If you don't say anything, then we'll start calling names."

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, everyone in the court couldn't help but become frightened.

I was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would name him and answer such a fatal question.

These people in the court are all well-known figures when released.

But in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, be as honest as you want.

In the silence, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at everyone.

Then he said: "Wang Qing, please tell me."

As soon as Wang Qing uttered these words, the hearts of all the courtiers present with the surname Wang could not help but jump suddenly.

"You are the Minister of Punishment. Come and tell us what your salary is like."

profound!It turned out that he was calling the Minister of Punishment!

The other courtiers named Wang couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

But Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishment who was named, felt his heart sink.

Among so many people, why am I so unlucky?
Of course, he didn't dare to express such thoughts on his face.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the salary set by Your Majesty has gone through many considerations and inspections.

Taking into account all aspects, it is in line with the current national conditions of Ming Dynasty.

In Wei Chen's opinion, the salary set by His Majesty is very reasonable, neither too much nor too little. "

As soon as Wang Huidi said these words, the courtiers present couldn't help but praise him.

He is worthy of becoming a minister, and he is indeed an old man.

I don't say this salary is high or low, I just say it's just right.

In this case, Zhu Yuanzhang would have no chance to make an attack.

If you want to take the opportunity to reduce their salaries, there is no way!
At this time, these officials have basically reacted. They feel that Zhu Yuanzhang's sudden question today is probably to reduce their salaries.

As for giving them a salary increase, they wouldn't even think about it.

This is simply impossible!

It's better to expect Zhu Yuanzhang to suddenly give them a salary increase than to expect an old sow to climb a tree!

After Wang Huidi answered this, he was also secretly proud.

He felt that there was nothing wrong with his answer.

No one can find fault if they want to.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang is like this!
"Is that so?"

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and asked him to retreat.

Then he clicked on a few more people and asked them for their opinions on the matter.

With the example of Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishment, everyone who followed knew how to deal with it.

Although the words spoken are different, the meaning is the same.

That means the current salary is very reasonable and there is no need to change it.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked several people and they all found the same.

The courtiers were secretly proud, feeling that they could use the outstanding performance of themselves and others to dispel Zhu Yuanzhang's evil plan to reduce their salaries.

This is a big win for them!
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "So, you are quite satisfied with your current salary?"

All the courtiers nodded, indicating that this was the case.

They resolutely refused to give Zhu Yuanzhang any chance to reduce their salaries.

"Ugh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"We originally thought about giving you more money. Since you are all satisfied with your current salary, let's forget it."

What? ? ? ! ! !

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang spoke these words, all the courtiers who were just there rejoicing were immediately confused.

WTF? !
Zhu Yuanzhang just asked so many questions, and he actually wanted to increase their salaries? !
This... what the hell is this? !
The courtiers who were secretly proud just now could no longer feel proud.

I feel as uncomfortable as I want in my heart.

It's like eating a fly.

Forget about the regret in my heart.

This is especially true for those who are relatively poor.

Wang Huidi, the Minister of Punishment, was no longer proud at this time.

At this time, he felt as if countless eyes were falling on his back, giving him a faint chill down his spine.

He knew that these were the eyes that his colleagues in the court were looking at him.

Wang Huidi felt like crying at this time, and there were many beautiful things to say in her heart.

Zhu Hongwu is not a human being!
He had specially dug a big hole, waiting for him to jump into it!

Specially pit yourself!

You said that you are already an emperor, but you still use these methods to deceive people every day. Is this really okay?
Childish or not?

In Wang Huidi's heart, she felt as uncomfortable as she wanted.

"Um...Your Majesty, just now...Some of Wei Chen's words were not accurate just now.

Although... although the salary set by His Majesty is reasonable.

But my Ming Dynasty has been at peace for more than ten years.

Thanks to His Majesty's hard work, it has become full of vitality.

The prices of these items are also higher than before.

Actually, this...salary is still somewhat nervous. "

Wang Huidi had no choice but to bite the bullet and looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said such words.

Don't say no!
If he hadn't said anything, if Zhu Yuanzhang, an unworthy person, had done this, he, the first person to speak, would have really become the target of public criticism.

Will be sprayed to death by those courtiers.

Hearing what Wang Huidi said, the other courtiers also followed suit.

Some of what they just said is not accurate.

Zhu Yuanzhang took their reactions into his eyes and felt happy in his heart.

He felt that this was how it should be for these courtiers.

When everything is fine, take them for a walk.

Some things cannot be done directly, you just have to mess with their mentality.

After fixing the mentality, implement the things.

In this way they will be more grateful.

After all, no one will cherish something that is easily obtained.

Zhu Yuanzhang has extremely rich experience in this regard.

This was gained through years of battles of wits and courage with the courtiers.

Zhu Yuanzhang hung for a while, and then he said after the courtiers' appetites were satisfied:

"Okay, we understand. Regardless of whether we are in difficulty or not, as long as we talk about salary increases, you all want them.

We can understand the mood.

After all, no one cares about too much money. "

Hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, all the courtiers present started laughing.

Listening carefully, they could basically tell from Zhu Yuanzhang's words that Zhu Hongwu was still prepared to give them a salary increase.

But until this matter is implemented, no one dares to be careless at all.

"We have decided to give you a salary increase!"

I heard Zhu Yuanzhang finally say this.The courtiers present were reassured.

They all knelt down and saluted, thanking Zhu Yuanzhang for his great kindness.

Although I don’t know why the sun comes out from the west.

How could Zhu Yuanzhang, an extremely stingy person, suddenly want to give them a salary increase?

But who cares why!As long as the salary is increased!

Zhu Yuanzhang said happily: "Don't be in a hurry to thank us.

We will give you a salary increase with conditions. It is not accurate to say it is a salary increase.

To be precise, it should be said that it is the welfare that has increased. "

When the courtiers heard this, they couldn't help but feel a thump in their hearts.

You know that Zhu Hongwu is not so kind to give them a salary increase.

Now it seems that it is.

Everyone said nothing more, just looked at Zhu Yuanzhang eagerly, waiting for him to announce the specific regulations.

No matter what, the issue of salary increase has affected the minds of too many people.

"According to our original intention, we are happy to provide benefits to each of you.

It would be nice to make everyone happy.

However, we have decided in the early Ming Dynasty that money will be spent on all aspects.

As an emperor, we don’t have any surplus food in our hands.

So we cannot provide benefits to everyone.

Who specifically do you send it to and how do you send it?
Who gets more and who gets less is not decided by me, but by you! "

Next, Zhu Yuanzhang told him what Han Cheng had told him about increasing benefits for officials.

The framework was what Han Cheng said to him, but compared to what Han Cheng said, what Zhu Yuanzhang said at this time had various details.

Various rules for obtaining performance or deducting performance are also explained. "Do you see it?
As long as you can follow our requirements, meet these conditions, and complete all the results, plus benefits, you can get two months' worth of money in one month! !

As for those who don't perform well, don't think about benefits.

Just be honest and get your original salary.

The opportunity is here, and the rules have been made clear to you.

If you want to get more money, then work hard.

If you don’t want to receive benefits, that’s fine.

Don't say we're unfair, it's already fair.

Whether you can get this benefit next depends entirely on your own ability!

There is a saying that goes like this: A wolf travels a thousand miles to eat meat, and a dog travels a thousand miles to eat shit!

Now, whether you eat meat or shit depends on your own efforts! "

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the crowd and said these very confusing words.

As his voice fell, there was a burst of noise in the hall.

Obviously, these things announced by Zhu Yuanzhang were very impactful to many of them.

When it comes to money, no one is unmoved.

There was a lot of discussion.

There are also many people who have fighting spirit ignited in their hearts and feel that they must complete the task well and strive to achieve the highest performance, so as to obtain the highest benefits!

Originally, the officials of the Hongwu Dynasty were quite successful under the leadership of bosses such as Zhu Yuanzhang who had very strong execution capabilities.

Now that the performance appraisal is linked to welfare, these people can really get involved in the sky!

However, it is different from the previous passive volume.

Now with this benefit in front of them, these people will turn their passive skills into active ones.

It's even more dangerous to roll it up.

Zhu Yuanzhang took these people's reactions into his eyes, and felt beautiful in his heart.

The idea Han Cheng gave me was really a good idea.

It not only increases the income of these people, but also prevents these people from taking the money in vain and working harder for themselves.

At the same time, I will be grateful to myself.

It’s really a success!
"Let's talk about it first!"

Zhu Yuanzhang waited for these people to be excited for a while, then watched them speak again.

His face has become serious: "What we hate most in our lives are corrupt officials, and the salary given to you is already a lot!

Now that we have paid for this benefit, your life will become even easier.

Then each of you must have a steelyard in your heart.

Watch your hands, don't be greedy, don't take money that you shouldn't take.

Do those corrupt things!
Otherwise, we can't spare you!
We used to be rude to corrupt officials, but now we have increased your benefits. If anyone dares to be corrupt again, just wait patiently! "

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said these words, the hall, which had been bustling just now, felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured on it.

It suddenly became silent.

No one present would doubt that Zhu Yuanzhang was talking empty words.

Over the years, countless heads have confirmed that this emperor, when he said he would cut off people's heads, would actually cut off people's heads.

He is really capable of dealing with corrupt officials.

At that moment, everyone said that they would never be greedy and would be absolutely loyal to the emperor.

But it is unclear how many people tell the truth, and how many people can remember what they said today and continue to practice it.

People with quick brain reactions have already seen through the superficial phenomena and see the essence of things.

We can see the real purpose contained in the series of things that Zhu Yuanzhang announced today.

This move is so powerful!
Not only can we spend some money to reduce the number of officials who are dissatisfied with Zhu Yuanzhang because their salaries are too low.

At the same time, he was polite before fighting, and said it to the front in advance. If anyone dares to be greedy in the future, when Zhu Yuanzhang punishes him ruthlessly, no one can say anything wrong.

In addition, there are several other benefits...

It’s so clever!
How did Zhu Yuanzhang remember this move? !
While some people were amazed by it, others also felt alarmed.

Is this...did Zhu Yuanzhang really come up with it himself? !

In the beginning, they never doubted it.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang himself is a person with an out-of-the-box personality.

It's easy to figure one out.

Before that, there were many whimsical policies.

But now, some people don't think so.

Because in recent times, Zhu Yuanzhang has come up with too many strange policies!

Too often!
If these are not what Zhu Yuanzhang thought, then whose hand did these come from?

The man who was riding His Highness the Crown Prince's crane through the city today appeared in some people's minds.

If you calculate carefully, it seems that this series of changes started after that person appeared and treated Queen Ma.

Could it be that...all these changes were really caused by Han Cheng?
Someone is alert.

But after this thought came up, I felt a little unbelievable.

After all, that person was just a doctor who studied medicine.

It shouldn't have that much energy.

But also think about what Wu Bozong and others reported. When they were arguing with the person named Han Cheng about whether the Hongwu Dictionary should use pinyin, Zhu Yuanzhang acted extremely protective of Han Cheng.

And what we saw today, the majestic scene of him traveling on the prince's crane, made many people feel heavy.

If you calculate carefully, it is really very likely that Han Cheng was responsible for all kinds of death-seeking actions.

In recent times, the only variable that has appeared is him!
This Han Cheng deserves to die!

It has caused such a big change in such a short period of time. If it lasts for a long time, will this be enough?

Zhu Yuanzhang himself loves to fool around, and with such a person, does this allow them to live a good life? !
Some people are angry and worried about it.

The few people who knew that Han Cheng was going to be in bad luck sneered in their hearts.

Han Chenggong, please work hard!
What can he do if he does it again?

He is going to die soon.

As long as he dies, many of his influences will gradually disappear in a short time.

Just like Wang Anshi and others.

Anyone who dares to seek death, who dares to challenge their Confucianism, or who dares to harm their interests will die!
No one can protect me!
No matter who it is, the result is the same!
There is no choice but to die!

Sure enough, as Han Cheng gradually appeared in everyone's field of vision, and Zhu Yuanzhang started to make some innovations, the confrontation had already begun.

And, it seemed very intense right from the start!
……

In Prince Yan's Mansion, Han Cheng sat here, looking at the fat monk with a pair of triangular eyes in front of him.

As soon as Monk Daoyan sat down, he was about to tell his fortune, which really surprised him.

"Okay, let's forget it."

After thinking for a while, Han Cheng looked at Dao Yan and nodded.

He had never had his fortune told in his life.

I am a little curious as to what Dao Yan can figure out.

Could it be possible to figure out the biggest secret that he is a time traveler?

Even if it is calculated, he is not afraid yet.

After all, as soon as he arrived in Ming Dynasty, his identity as a time traveler was exposed.

In this case, it doesn't hurt to really figure it out.

If Dao Yan could even calculate this, Han Cheng would really admire Dao Yan's ability.

Hearing Han Cheng's agreement, Daoyan suddenly became happy.

He saluted Han Cheng and his expression became solemn.

He reached out and took out something from a dark-looking cloth bag on his waist.

The thing was as white as jade, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be three pieces of tortoise shell the size of a palm.

I don’t know if this is a real tortoise shell or a fake tortoise shell.

Anyway, it looks quite mysterious.

After monk Dao Yan took a deep look at Han Cheng, he laid the torn bag on the table in front of him.

Holding the three tortoise shells in his hand, he muttered something, but you couldn't hear clearly what he was saying.

After a moment, he threw the tortoise shell into the air.

Immediately the tortoise shell fell on the cloth bag.

Dao Yan took a few glances, put away the tortoise shell, and then repeated the previous action.

If so again and again.

After doing this, Monk Daoyan's eyes were clear.

Then, the fat face wrinkled into a ball.

"Is this still the case? Is this still the case?"

He muttered to himself.

There was extreme confusion and confusion in his voice.

"Boom!!"

At this moment, a loud noise suddenly sounded outside, like a thunderbolt in the clear sky.

Daoyan's hands couldn't help but tremble.

Zhu Di and Han Cheng were also surprised.

The sound just now was really too sudden and too loud!

It was really like thunder, exploding very close to the head.

Before they could react, they heard commotion outside.

Then someone said in a panic that an apricot tree on the street outside the house had been struck by lightning.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Di and others hurriedly opened the door to take a look.

I saw that the sky that had been clear just a short time ago now had many clouds gathering in the sky.

Many people were in shock.

The weather is really weird today!
At this time, Dao Yan's face, which was already wrinkled, was even more wrinkled and his eyes were almost invisible.

After learning that he had just chopped down a tree and no one was hurt, Zhu Di called Han Cheng and Dao Yan back to the house.

"Master Daoyan, have you figured out anything?"

He came to the room and sat down. After waiting for a while, when he saw Dao Yan still frowning and not speaking, Han Cheng couldn't help but ask.

This was the first time that he had his fortune told, and the person who told him his fortune was a historical celebrity like Dao Yan, who was somewhat mysterious in his own right.

He really wanted to see what he could figure out.

Dao Yan took a deep look at Han Cheng and said, "It's strange, the hexagram is exactly the same as what I calculated last time.

The universe is vast and chaotic.

Only a red light could be seen, and nothing else. "

Han Cheng was stunned when he heard this. Did Daoyan really have something, or was he just talking nonsense?
"How could this happen? Otherwise... Great Monk, please do the math for me again."

Dao Yan shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, don't forget it! If you continue to calculate, the great monk will die if you don't know.

Didn’t you see that the sky had already lowered a thunder warning just now?

If I don't stop and continue counting, I might be the one struck by the thunder.

Although the monk's life is not valuable, he doesn't want to lose his life because of it. "

Han Cheng was stunned again by what Dao Yan said.

"Is it that mysterious?
Isn't it just a bolt from the blue?

Thunder in the sky is normal. It is caused by the friction between wind and cloud.

Did God send a warning?
Great monk, you are too good at making excuses.

Come on, count it for me again. "

Hearing Han Cheng say this, Daoyan's face became even more bitter.

"Forget it, even though I had a lot of things happen to you because of layman Han's background.

I secretly calculated it for you once, which is indeed a bit offensive to say.

But Master Han, you can’t harm me like this!

You want to kill me, the great monk! "

When Han Cheng heard what Dao Yan said, he always felt that the great monk's words were too fantasy.

He looked at Dao Yan and said: "Master, can't you go against the will of heaven and count it again?"

Daoyan shook his head, and the flesh on his face swayed accordingly.

"The destiny of heaven cannot be violated. Who can go against heaven, and who dares to go against heaven?

Even if there is someone who can go against the will of heaven, it will definitely not be a poor monk.

The poor monk is just a monk who keeps to himself, knows some fortune-telling, and likes to eat meat.

I don't dare act haphazardly in this matter.

Don't even dare to act against nature. "

Hearing this, Han Cheng looked at Monk Daoyan in front of him and said, "Great monk, why do I feel that you didn't tell me the truth?

No matter how I look at it, you, great monk, don’t look like the kind of person who keeps to himself.

Going against the will of heaven doesn't seem that scary.

At least for you, the great monk, it’s not scary. "

After hearing what Han Cheng said, Daoyan's expression remained unchanged and he continued to shake his head.

"Jushi Han joked.

I am just a monk who likes to eat wine and meat. This is what makes me most uneasy in my daily life.

Apart from that, I am very peaceful, how can I dare to act against nature?

If you don’t believe layman Han, you can ask His Highness King Yan. "

Zhu Di nodded and said that Dao Yan was right.

Han Cheng had no intention of letting Dao Yan go.

"Really? I don't believe it.

I don't believe that Master Daoyan is the kind of person who lives in the world and dare not challenge destiny.

Master Daoyan, if you really don’t dare to go against heaven, just keep to yourself as you said
How could he still think about the chaos in the world when His Majesty is in court and in the prosperous age of Hongwu?

Want to help people rebel and change the country?
Why is Master Daoyan so inconsistent? "

"Boom!"

Another huge thunder suddenly exploded, but this time the more violent thunder did not hit the outside.

But it sounded in Daoyan's mind.

Daoyan was completely confused...
