Tribulation of Ten Thousand Races: I Have a Chat Group for Descendants

Chapter 272 Corrupt Officials Can't Be Killed Endlessly

Compared with a year ago, Zhu Yuanzhang has also undergone considerable changes.

When Su Tu met the other party for the first time, the other party was not yet 20 years old. Although he had hot water, he looked extremely immature.

But now Zhu Yuanzhang seems to have matured a lot. After these years of precipitation, he looks more like a king at this moment.

"Not bad." Su Tu looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and nodded, "You look more mature and stable now than before."

"It all depends on the guidance of the ancestors!"

Hearing Su Tu's praise, Zhu Yuanzhang also smiled embarrassedly.

If his subordinates saw Zhu Yuanzhang's current appearance, his jaw would drop in shock.

Because the other party always looks serious in front of them, only when Queen Ma appears, the other party will become a little gentler.

But even so, it is still moody and cloudy.

"You had a sad face when you came in earlier, but something happened."

Su Tu's eyes fell on the other party's face.

Although the other party was all smiles when they saw him, there was obviously a lingering sadness between those brows.

Su Tu's question caused the smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face to stagnate, and then he let out a long sigh.

"Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from the ancestors."

"Tell me what happened."

Su Tu sat on the main seat.

Zhu Yuanzhang didn't mind this at all.

Because in his opinion, the other party is his ancestor, and it is his right to take the throne.

Furthermore, if the opponent had the idea of ​​proclaiming himself emperor, he would not have to spend so much thought at all. With the ability of the opponent, he had already overthrown the Yuan Dynasty and established his own dynasty.

So after Su Tu finished asking, Zhu Yuanzhang talked about what happened in the past few days.

"Our ancestors told us to build large buildings while recuperating. My grandson will always remember this, and I have always done so. My ancestors cared for the people, and we also care for the people. We never paid heavy taxes.

However, those officials had a vegetarian meal, filled their pockets, and didn't have a single good thing. All the money of the court was emptied by these damn things! "

When he said this, the expression on Zhu Yuanzhang's face also became angry, and then he continued.

"A year ago, my ancestors warned me that when the water was clear, there would be no fish, but my grandson couldn't bear those corrupt officials. If my ancestors hadn't appeared today, my grandson really wanted to drag all these people out and kill them." Already!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang said this, he was really moved to kill.

If it weren't for his confidants to stop him, he really wanted to drag out all the officials in charge of this matter and cut them down.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's appearance, Su Tu also said helplessly.

"You, now that the major events have not been accomplished and the Yuan Dynasty has not been destroyed, how can you make such a big killing?"

"The ancestors mean that I should spare these corrupt officials?"

Hearing the ancestor's words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face clearly showed reluctance.

"These people don't care about the life and death of the people and the danger of the court, so they put the money from the court into their own pockets. They should be killed, but they can't be killed like this."

Su Tu shook his head.

Naturally, he would not feel sorry for those corrupt officials, but the Northern Expedition was imminent, and if he wanted to punish these people, he had to wait until the Ming Dynasty was established and the world was stable.

"What does the ancestor mean?"

Hearing Su Tu's words, Zhu Yuanzhang also looked at him with a puzzled expression.

"Kill the leader, and the rest will give a verbal warning, and temporarily turn a blind eye."

Su Tu gave his own suggestion.

Just as he finished speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said reluctantly.

"How can this be done? Those corrupt officials don't have a single good thing. In my grandson's opinion, these people should be divided into five horses to make an example to others!"

When it came to the end, Zhu Yuanzhang also tightened his fist.

Although more than half of his world was won by Su Tu, he personally participated in all the battles during this period.

So this world was also brought down by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

In addition, he has been used to the ugly appearance of those corrupt officials since he was a child, so it can be said that he hates those corrupt officials to the bone.

Moreover, his experience from childhood to adulthood made him unable to bear the existence of any corrupt officials in the regime he established!

Now that Su Tu asked him to turn a blind eye, wouldn't that mean he was forced to swallow a cup of tea mixed with flies?

Zhu Yuanzhang's reaction was within Su Tu's expectation.

The other party didn't directly lift the table, which in Su Tu's view had already made progress.

Because if it was the old Zhu Yuanzhang, if the other party knew that someone had embezzled the money used to build civil engineering, the other party would definitely not say a word and investigate the matter strictly.

After finding out, no matter who is standing behind these people and what incidents are involved, with Zhu Yuanzhang's character, he will definitely directly punish the nine clans.

If it is more serious, some inhuman punishments will even be introduced.

For example, skinning corpses and hanging their heads over city gates are common methods used by the opponent to punish corrupt officials.

And it is precisely because of these that Zhu Yuanzhang's comments in the later period were not very good.

Some even said he was a brutal tyrant.

But in fact, more than half of the reason why the other party killed so many people was because they wanted to restore a bright universe that was completely different from the Yuan Dynasty.

It's just that the other party is too ideal, thinking that using this method can deter those corrupt officials.

But the word "official" was doomed from the very beginning to have two sides, and it cannot be killed by killing alone.

After Empress Ma died, Zhu Yuanzhang went on a killing spree and killed tens of thousands of people at every turn, but even under such circumstances, there were still signs of corrupt officials.

It is conceivable that this corrupt official did not end by killing.

After Su Tu thought of this, he also changed his words.

"My lord knows that you hate those corrupt officials very much, but now is not the time to kill these corrupt officials. Now that the Northern Expedition is approaching, if you start killing at this time, you will disturb the morale of the army.

But if you only choose those important people to kill at this time, not only can you gather the morale of the army, but also make these people willing to work for you. As for after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, how you want to kill, isn't it all up to you? "

Logically speaking, Su Tu should first persuade Zhu Yuanzhang not to have such extreme ideas, and tell the other party that punishing corrupt officials is a long way to go, and it cannot be solved by killing one person or a group of people.

But Su Tu did not do this, because such an idea had already been deeply ingrained in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.

Su Tu also learned this when he watched Wanli for 15 years.
