The ancestors of the prehistoric people, join the chat group at the beginning

"Your Majesty, please think twice!"

As soon as Chongzhen's words fell, Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, stood up and persuaded him.

How can royal matters be so child's play?

And even if the other party is the real Emperor Taizu, what evidence can he produce?

Such a thing as death and resurrection is really too appalling!

What if the other party is a liar?

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for the Ming court?

In this way, everyone present will be infamous forever!

Not to mention anything else, when people in later generations mention it, they will say that a certain minister watched the Chongzhen emperor's chaos and remained indifferent, etc.

"We know you, Zhao Banghua!"

At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the throne, compared the list of ministers introduced to him by Chongzhen, and quickly judged the identity of the other party.

He nodded, with a look of approval on his face: "You are a good person in doing things, so we don't care about your recklessness, let's not be an example!"

"If there is a next time, I will kill you immediately!"

Waving his hand, Zhu Yuanzhang said to the ministers without a doubt: "We have been blessed by our ancestors of the human race, and have the ability to travel between different worlds!"

"The first stop, we have traveled from the first year of Hongwu to the year when the Ming Dynasty perished!"

"This matter sounds absurd, but it is indeed an irrefutable fact!"

"Whether you believe it or not, we don't force it!"

"However, regarding our order, if you dare to violate it, you will be directly barbarian!"

After talking about his origin lightly, Zhu Yuanzhang warned his officials again.

Then, he revealed his true intentions.

"We read the history of the Ming Dynasty and know what happened in these years!"

"I have established the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years, and I have always handled things in the way you scholars do. Is this correct?"

"However, at present, corrupt officials are rampant, and the government is corrupt. It is useless!"

"Under internal and external troubles, my Daming is about to die!"

"So, we think it's time to change the rules of this world!"

Chapter 80 Rebellion

In the Qianqing Palace, the lights are bright.

In the city of Beiping in early spring, the cold wind was blowing, making people shiver.

However, the coldness of the body was covered by the heat and shock of the soul.

Hong Wu died of illness in 31 years, at the age of 71, posthumously titled "Kai Tian Xing Dao Zhao Ji Li great sage to God benevolent Wen Yi Wu Jun De successful high emperor", buried in the Xiaoling Mausoleum of Yingtian Mansion Emperor Taizu, he is back!

Is there anything in the world more absurd than this?

Hot man, he's back!

Compared with this incident, the so-called rebel Li Zicheng established himself as the emperor, Zhang Xianzhong of Sichuan established himself as the emperor, and the Manchu Qing ravaged the border, Li Zicheng attacked the capital, and so on.

Everything is nothing!

The ministers are not without doubts about the authenticity of Zhu Yuanzhang's identity!

However, the ministers present were not idiots.

Although they seldom go to the royal ancestral temple, they are very familiar with the statues of Taizu and Chengzu hanging in the ancestral temple.

After the initial shock, they recalled the portrait of the ancestral temple, and compared it with the man sitting on the dragon chair.

Don't say they are exactly the same, I can only say that they are seven or eight times alike!

But that's enough!

The same face, the same killing decisiveness, if you say that the other party is not Emperor Taizu, no one will believe you!

Moreover, the other party also explained his origin.

Blessed by the ancestors of the human race, he obtained the supernatural power to travel through time and space.

It is precisely because of this that he was able to travel through time and space for more than 200 years from the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty to Chongzhen for 17 years.

For this explanation, the ministers were both shocked and skeptical.

They would rather believe that it was the emperor Taizu, who had become a fairy, who came down from the heaven to save the world, which was about to collapse.

I also don't want to believe the so-called blessing of the ancestors of the human race.

Of course, all of this is just circulating in the hearts of the ministers, without saying anything.

Whether they accept it or not.

Emperor Taizu returned to the world, took over the imperial power, and saved the world has become a reality.

No one can doubt it!

However, after Zhu Yuanzhang, who was sitting on the dragon chair, said something, he yelled outside the hall.

"Mao Xiang, come in!"

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang gave his great-grandson Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youjian's order, he had secretly ordered Mao Xiang to leave the imperial city.

go for what?

Collect evidence, of course!

"Wei Chen is here!"

Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Yuanzhang finished speaking, the door of the main hall was pushed open, and Mao Xiang walked in with a pile of things.

"Recite all the things you found to these ministers!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were full of murderous intent, and he swept across the ministers present.

Hearing his words, the ministers present shivered for no reason.

In the main hall, the bloodstains of chief assistant Wei Zaode and his henchmen were still wet, which seemed particularly pervasive.

"As ordered!"

Hearing this, Mao Xiang grinned, revealing a cruel smile.

This scene made the eyelids of the ministers jump non-stop.

"Wei Zaode, the chief assistant of the cabinet, has a total family property of 18 taels of silver and 7000 taels of gold. There are five houses in the capital, twelve shops, three manors outside the city, and 8000 acres of fine farmland."

"According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, [-]% of all the family property was obtained after he won the number one examination and held an official position. It took only five or six years!"

"Zhang Jinyan, Minister of the Ministry of War, has a total family property of 16 taels of silver and 5000 taels of gold. There are three mansions, ten shops, two manors outside the city, and eight thousand acres of high-quality fertile land under the name of the capital."

"Wu Guan, the left servant of the household department, has a total family property of 12 taels of silver..."

Mao Xiang opened an account book and read aloud, each name and their respective property lists.

For a moment, the entire Qianqing Palace seemed to suddenly drop by twenty degrees.

The officials standing below were all trembling with fright, and almost passed out.

Emperor Taizu's heroic deeds, others don't know, they still don't know?

Corrupting 60 people, peeling their skins and filling them with grass, and hanging them in the county government, as a warning to others!

In Hongwu's 31 years, he launched six large-scale anti-corruption campaigns, such as the Guo Huan case, the Kongyin case, and the Dagao case.

According to incomplete statistics, during the 31 years of Emperor Taizu's reign, as many as 15 corrupt officials were killed.

No wonder he didn't show up for a whole day.

It turned out to be to collect evidence and ransack the house!

This is killing chickens and monkeys!

"Damn things!"

Chongzhen standing under the imperial steps couldn't help being furious when he heard Mao Xiang read out one by one, one pile after another, the family property lists of the civil and military ministers of the court.

His eyes turned red, as if he wanted to choose someone to devour.

It even shocked the ministers below who were already frightened.

That anger in Zhu Youjian's heart.

What happened before is still vivid in my mind!

He, the Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty, desperately begged these ministers to donate money to recruit soldiers.

Not only that, he also took out the only 4000 taels of silver in the royal private treasury.

As a result, within half a month, only 2 taels of silver were raised.

Fortunately, he thought that all the ministers were clean and honest officials with nothing in their hands.

Unexpectedly, now there is only one chief minister, and the total family property has exceeded one million taels!

That's it, it's just the assets of his family, not including the family of his hometown!

And the civil and military people of the Manchu Dynasty added up to hundreds of people. If calculated according to Wei Zaode's standard, wouldn't the total property have to be tens of millions of taels?

These guys usually cry poorly in front of me, and they all pretend to be noble.

Unexpectedly, it turns out that they are much richer than the emperor himself!

At this moment, Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youjian only felt that he had been deceived!

I even recalled the words of the emperor's ancestor: There is no good thing in the world's civil servants!

Be fearful but not virtuous!

Sure enough, Emperor Taizu was right, I am not at all competent to be an emperor!

"The emperor is right, when dealing with corrupt officials, one should confiscate the families of the barbarians!"

Thinking of this, Chongzhen roared loudly with red eyes and a ferocious face.

"Hmph, this is the good official you chose!"

On the dragon chair, Zhu Yuanzhang snorted coldly and glared at him.

In an instant, the angry Emperor Chongzhen died down.

Looking back, Zhu Yuanzhang looked down at the ministers below.

"We killed them and ransacked their homes. Surely you have no objections?"

There was no sound below, dead silence.

Everyone stared in horror at the respectable and terrifying figure on the high platform, trembling.

The horror dominated by the Ming Dynasty finally returned to the world after more than two hundred years.

In the mid-Hongwu period, officials became corrupt and perverted the law, merged with powerful forces, and the gap between escape and avoidance of food became more and more serious.

In order to maintain the rule, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang compiled typical cases of "Officials and People's Offenses" into Zhizhi, imitating the system of Duke Zhou's "Dagao", published 18 articles of "Dagao" in the winter of Hongwu 74, and published "Dagao Continuation" in the spring of 19 There were 87 articles in the "Compilation", and 19 articles in the "Three Parts of the Great Edict" were published in the winter of 43, promulgating the whole world and admonishing subjects.

'The book of the upper and lower sides, the most precious treasure of the subjects, must be published in the world, and every household must have it.Those who dare to be disrespectful and refuse to accept them are not the people under my rule. They will move to other places and will never be allowed to return! '

There are many benefits to holding a great patent.

If the imperial court strictly controlled the flow of population, even merchants traveling more than a hundred miles would have to issue permits.

If you go to Beijing to declare with a big edict, all localities are not allowed to intercept it.

If you commit a crime, if you have a big patent in your family, you can reduce the crime by one class.

For ordinary people, the great imperial edict is a talisman, but for officials, it is a reminder.

Generally speaking, Dagao’s strike targets all officials and the people, but its focus is on punishing corrupt officials, and more than 80% of its items belong to the aspect of governing officials.

Therefore, after the death of Emperor Taizu, Ming Dagao gradually lost its effect and became a speck of dust in history.
