I'm only seven years old, Lao Zhu, you let me supervise the country?

Chapter 505 Tell the world! I am the emperor! Amnesty to the world!

Above the imperial city.

Officials of Honglu Temple were reading out the edict of Zhu Yunxu's succession to the throne.

"In the spring and February of the thirty-third year of Hongwu..."

When the people in the capital city saw the situation above the imperial city, they also walked out of their homes.

They knew that this was a victory for His Highness the Grandson whom they supported!

The edict of succession is being read out!

So the crowd began to gather at the foot of the imperial city, looking up at Zhu Yunxi who was wearing a royal robe. The bright yellow dragon robe made Zhu Yunxi very conspicuous.

Looking at more and more people below.

Zhu Yunxuan felt the weight of the throne for the first time!

Emperor, it's not that simple!

For Zhu Yunzhen, it is not just the eight words "if you are ordered by heaven, you will live forever".

But more responsibility!

At this moment, Zhu Yunzhen understood more and more that what he was carrying on his shoulders was Jiuzhou Wanfang!

They are the millions of living people of the Ming Dynasty!

At this moment, Zhu Yunzhen was not the only one who felt this way, everyone had different thoughts in their hearts.

There are even different emotions!

King Yan Zhu Di looked at Zhu Yunzhen in front of him, as if he could still see Zhu Yunzhen when he was only seven years old. At that time, Zhu Di knew that this boy was anything but simple.

But did not expect.

Eight years have passed.

From the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu to the thirty-third year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunxu became the emperor of the Ming Dynasty in the blink of an eye!

He also managed the Ming Dynasty so well!

Let Zhu Di be far behind! He didn't dare to have the idea of competing with Zhu Yunxian for the throne, because he had no confidence in building the Ming Dynasty into the shape of Zhu Yunxu!

And beside Zhu Di.

Lan Yu also watched Zhu Yunxuan grow up step by step.

I still remember that when Zhu Yunzhen was seven years old, he dared to stand on the servant and slap himself!

At that time, Lan Yu knew that Zhu Yunxuan must be a wise master worth following!

And Zhu Yunzhen even saved his life! If it weren't for Zhu Yunzhen's slap in the face that woke him up, he might have become a dead soul under Lao Zhu's sword at this moment!

Where is the chance to see Zhu Yunxuan ascend the throne today!

Not to mention, today’s scenery!

The Minister of Military Affairs, commanded the world's armies, and became one of the best generals in the Ming Dynasty!

This is the honor given to him by Zhu Yunxuan!

That's why Lan Yu restrained his temper and stopped behaving as wildly as before, because he knew that his life was saved by Zhu Yunxun!

He even knew that if it weren't for Zhu Yunzhen, he would always be a strong man!

You will never reach your current status!

The reason for all this is because Lan Yu followed the right person! Following Zhu Yunzhen, we have achieved today’s achievements!

Except Zhu Di and Lan Yu.

Everyone present had many past memories in their hearts. Yang Shiqi was thinking about Zhu Yunzhen's experience in promoting him as the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi Province.

What Zhai Shan was thinking about was that his official career was not going well. He was manipulated by others when he was the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

It was Zhu Yunzhen who gave him the chance.

Let him prove himself! And the subsequent undercover incident made him achieve great achievements in front of Zhu Yunxuan. He will definitely have a place in the Ming Dynasty in the future!

Be able to accompany Zhu Yunxun to achieve great achievements!

But the one who feels the most emotional among everyone is still Lao Zhu.

In a wheelchair.

Lao Zhu was so weak that he could not stand up and could only be pushed away, but he was still determined to attend Zhu Yunzhen's enthronement ceremony.

What happened today did not touch Lao Zhu much.

Because Lao Zhu clearly knew that a mere rebellion would not pose a threat to Zhu Yunzhen at all.

It's still 10,000 years too early for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui to compete with Zhu Yunxu!

But at this moment.

Lao Zhu's mood was extremely fluctuating, and many memories and past events appeared in front of Lao Zhu's eyes, which were scenes from the past.

The twenty-fifth year of Hongwu.

The son Zhu Biao, whom he loved most and had high hopes for, fell ill and died after inspecting the Chief Secretary of Shaanxi Province.

At that time, Lao Zhu didn't show anything.

But deep down in my heart, I was already close to madness!

In the fifteenth year of Hongwu's reign, the death of Queen Ma had already caused huge psychological damage to Lao Zhu, and the death of Zhu Biao made Lao Zhu even worse.

The character of mind becomes more and more extreme.

But at this moment, Zhu Yunzhen appeared.

The intelligence shown not only made Lao Zhu feel that he had a successor.

The filial piety shown by Zhu Yunxuan made Lao Zhu feel very relieved. It can be said that it cured Lao Zhu's heart disease very well.

It made him feel that he was still attached to this person in this world.

As the saying goes, there is no greater sorrow than the death of a person, and death is the second most important thing. After Queen Ma and Zhu Biao passed away one after another, Lao Zhu's heart was actually dead.

So Lao Zhu never asked for immortality.

Ancient emperors, even Qin Shihuang and Tang Taizong Li Shimin, who were the only emperors throughout the ages, could not avoid pursuing immortality.

But only Lao Zhu had never thought about this matter.

The most fundamental reason is that Lao Zhu's heart is dead and he doesn't have much attachment to this world, so naturally he doesn't pursue immortality.

At the same time, it is also because Lao Zhu knows that there is no such thing as immortality in this world.

There were too many lessons learned from the past, and he was unwilling to bury his empire like Qin Shihuang.

But fortunately.

The appearance of Zhu Yunzhen made Lao Zhu truly relieved from the bottom of his heart.

That's why Lao Zhu asked Zhu Yunxu, who was only seven years old at the time, to supervise the country!

Then, after eight years of ups and downs, and experiencing countless things, we finally reached this point!

When he saw Zhu Yunxuan ascending the throne, Lao Zhu knew that he would have no regrets in this life!

You can leave with peace of mind!

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Under the imperial city.

Suddenly a sound like a mountain roaring and a tsunami broke out.

There were countless cheers.

It was the people of the capital celebrating Zhu Yunxu's accession to the throne.

Lao Zhu looked around and saw that the faces of every citizen in the capital were filled with joy, and their eyes were full of reverence.

Zhu Yunzhen's prestige in the hearts of the people is really too high!

"This way, I can rest assured..." Lao Zhu could feel that the breath that was holding him up had dissipated.

Countless pains dissipated.

All that's left is feeling relaxed and at ease.

But this... is not that Lao Zhu's body has recovered, but that Lao Zhu is no longer fighting against death!

Really relax your body.

This is... a flashback!

Until this moment, Lao Zhu's life has truly entered the countdown!

But Lao Zhu's face at this moment was full of ease.

Unprecedented freedom!

Because the Ming Dynasty was finally placed in the hands of someone worthy of entrusting it! Zhu Yunxuan will definitely be able to pass on the legacy of the old Zhu family through the ages!

It can even lead the Ming Dynasty to greatness!

Under the imperial city.

The cheers grew louder and louder.

All the civil and military officials on the city wall were affected, and they also showed excited expressions.

"I finally... ascended the throne."

Until this moment.

Only now did Zhu Yunxuan have a real feeling and knew clearly that he had ascended the throne.

In the Fengtian Hall, all the ministers bowed down, but it was of no use.

Only when you are recognized by the people of the world can you be the real emperor! Power comes from order! Comes from every Ming Dynasty citizen who is willing to abide by order!

Only with their support.

Zhu Yunzhen is the emperor!

Only then can we have the greatest power in the Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Yunxuan finally... obtained this supreme imperial power!

……

Fengtian Temple.

The excitement on the faces of the civil and military officials has not faded.

But what needs to be done needs to be done.

Now is not the time to celebrate.

I can see that the sense of presence has always been low. Among the six departments now, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, whose status can be said to be the lowest, has stepped forward. After all, in Zhu Yunzhen's hands, even the Ministry of Industry stood up.

Said: "Your Highness, now that it has been announced to the world."

"Whether it's customary or not."

"Amnesty to the world?"

Regarding this question, the Minister of Punishment actually came with the answer. After all, since ancient times, when the new emperor ascends the throne, he will always grant amnesty to the world.

And sometimes.

Because of the shortage of manpower, the imperial court wanted to grant amnesty to the whole country no matter what the reason.

But about this matter.

Zhu Yunxuan was in trouble...because originally, he was unwilling to continue the tradition of 'amnesty to the world'!

Because this is not in line with the rule of law spirit in Zhu Yunxuan's heart!

I don’t even want some evildoers to go unpunished!

But the reality is completely different... because most of the people imprisoned in prisons these days are actually innocent from Zhu Yunzhen's point of view!

Many of them were even wronged!

In this way, Amnesty becomes the best option to release these people!

Why has the tradition of amnesty for the world always existed in ancient times?

It was because the emperor also knew that most of the people imprisoned were innocent and had no crime at all!

On the contrary, the real criminals have always been at large!

This point cannot be settled by Zhu Yunzhen saying a few words in the court or issuing a few orders.

Because judicial issues could not be solved at all in ancient times!

Even in modern times, if you look around the world, gangs are everywhere! Each gang is famous around the world! There is absolutely no way to deal with them!

This is the drawback of industrialization.

There is no cure.

Even Zhu Yunzhen couldn't find many solutions.

If the current system continues to operate, there will not be any evil forces in the Ming Dynasty, but the problem is that there will definitely be too many unjust, false and wrong cases.

But if you relax a little.

The Ming Dynasty will definitely face the problem of gangs everywhere, even in the capital.

Zhu Yunzhen naturally did not want to see this situation.

Zhu Yunzhen never expected that he would face such a difficult problem as soon as he ascended the throne.

But no matter how difficult it is, this matter must be solved!

Zhu Yunzhen's plan is to have two hands: on the one hand, he will continue to use the ancient system of severe punishment and law; on the other hand, he will strictly investigate unjust, false and wrongly convicted cases and reduce the occurrence of unjust, false and wrongly decided cases as much as possible.

As for amnesty for the world...

Zhu Yunxuan thought for a long time and finally decided to use it.

But this system.

But he can only use it himself!

After thinking about it, Zhu Yunzhen said slowly: "It would be okay to grant amnesty to the whole world."

"But the word "convention" is very problematic."

below.

The ministers and officials saw that Zhu Yunxian had not spoken for a long time, but when he spoke, he had a profound meaning.

He suddenly came back to his senses.

Yang Shiqi was the first to stand up.

Said: "What your Majesty said is true."

"Our Ming Dynasty has only been around for a few decades, what are our practices?"

"The practices of the previous dynasty are not necessarily correct."

"I still need to think carefully before using it."

"Just like this general amnesty, the original intention is to allow all people in the world to enjoy the benefits of the new emperor's accession to the throne."

"But pardoning those criminals is also an injustice to those who have been harmed?"

"Everyone."

"We are all sensible people. Why don't you open the skylight and speak frankly."

"It's not clear to everyone how many people in prison are innocent."

"We didn't have the conditions to pursue it before."

"It's because there are not enough manpower in every place, and the officials are not very capable."

"That's why there are many unjust, false and wrongful convictions."

"But now, my Ming Dynasty has become stronger and more capable."

"Can we make some progress in this regard?"

Yang Shiqi was indeed Zhu Yunxu's confidant, and he quickly understood Zhu Yunxu's innermost thoughts.

Help Zhu Yunzhen say what he wanted to say.

"I think what Mr. Yang said is absolutely true."

And wait for Yang Shiqi to finish.

Zhai Shan also immediately stood up to support him.

With the approval of the two ministers of the DPRK, even the people in the Ministry of Punishment were panicked for a moment. These words are all true, but who asked you to tell them?

If you say this, doesn't it appear that the Ministry of Justice is incompetent?

However, due to the status of Yang Shiqi and Zhai Shan, the Minister of Punishment could only look at Zhu Yunzhen at this moment.

On the other hand, I wanted to see what Zhu Yunxuan had to say.

While explaining: "Your Highness, although Lord Yang is not false, the people below did not really intentionally create an unjust, false or wrongful verdict when judging the case."

"My ability is really limited!"

"I don't care at all!"

Seeing the Minister of Punishment complaining, Zhu Yunxuan didn't say much, let alone reprimand him.

After all, Zhu Yunxuan also knew the difficulties below.

In this era when imperial power did not go to the countryside, the imperial court implemented a system of prefectures and counties. Although the names have changed, the core has not changed.

The imperial court could only control things up to the county level.

A county may have tens of thousands of people at least, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands at most.

How can one county government manage so many people?

Such a big area?

Many times, it is actually impossible to control it at all!

Zhu Yunzhen understood their difficulties very well, so he had no intention of blaming the Ministry of Punishment. He just said, "What you said is indeed true."

"But that doesn't mean it can continue like this."

"This time I ascend the throne, I can grant amnesty to the whole world."

"But in the future, no matter what happens, we will not allow a general amnesty. The Ming Dynasty does not need this kind of practice!"

“All localities must strictly investigate unjust, false and wrongful cases!”

"If you usually do good things, you don't need any amnesty."

"Xia Yuanji."

"You allocate a special fund to the Ministry of Punishment."

"Let the inspectors in charge of criminal prisons in various places increase their manpower step by step and provide more training."

"In future cases, we must investigate thoroughly!"

Hearing Zhu Yunxuan's words, the Minister of Punishment couldn't help but look bitter.

Don't look at it as giving money to the Ministry of Punishment.

But in fact, it has added responsibilities to the Ministry of Punishment!

This money... is hot!
