Ming Dynasty: He was ordered to give lectures in prison, but Lao Zhu eavesdropped and made people nu

Chapter 67: Kill Zhu Liangzu and frighten the courtiers
above the hall.

The courtiers began to discuss quietly for a while.

At this time.

An official in red court uniform came out to start the performance:

"Chen Ning, the imperial censor, has this memorial!"

"Your Majesty, the household registration system has been passed down for hundreds of years and involves all walks of life, ranging from administrative areas to small units."

"At the same time, the household registration system effectively records the composition of various industries, as well as asset status, etc., improves administrative efficiency, controls the random movement of the population, and avoids population loss."

"The household registration system plays an irreplaceable role in standardizing the management of our country."

"This is a good strategy that His Majesty and his ministers worked out together. It must not be abolished!"

The censor Zhongcheng Chen Ning finished the performance.

All the ministers came out one after another.

"My lord, Tian Kai, the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, second the proposal!"

"My lord, Jiang Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites and Rites, second the proposal!"

"My lord, Zhao Wenhua, the director of the Ministry of Industry, seconded the proposal!"

"... "

As courtiers continued to come out to report, the court suddenly became chaotic.

Prince Zhu Biao glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang worriedly.

however.

Zhu Yuanzhang saw all this and said nothing, but waved to the Han generals standing on both sides of the imperial steps.

A Han general understood the situation and quickly walked out of Fengtian Hall.

Soon.

The Han general walked in carrying a white cloth package stained with blood.

In an instant.

Above the solemn hall, a strong smell of blood suddenly appeared.

At Zhu Yuanzhang's signal, the Han general wrapped the white cloth and threw it on the floor of the hall.

Gollum!
The white cloth was lifted, and three or four heads were rolling around in the hall.

The angry-eyed head of Yongjia Marquis Zhu Liangzu suddenly appeared in front of the officials.

and also…

A horrifying scene.

The legs of all the officials present were weak.

These civil servants, who usually engage in verbal quarrels in the court, suddenly saw this bloody scene, and they dared not say a word.

They who had stepped forward to put pressure on the emperor just now were now retreating unconsciously one by one.

Those civil servants with poor psychological quality hugged the pillars in the palace and started vomiting.

now.

Even the generals who were used to seeing life and death scenes couldn't help but frown.

They all feel sad that the rabbit is dead and the fox is dead.

"My dear friends, don't be afraid..."

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up at this time, looked at the ministers, and said calmly:

"People like Zhu Liangzu have committed unpardonable crimes and deserve to die!"

"Thinking that you have done some credit to our Ming Dynasty, you can do whatever you want, prey on the people, and seize fertile land."

"He committed such a bad act and was imprisoned in a prison, but he still has no repentance."

"We have to operate on them."

"We have told you a long time ago that my world belongs to the people, not you noble ministers."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's tone became cold:

"From now on, if anyone dares to go against my policies, people like Zhu Liangzu will be role models!"

"You remember, for the sake of the people of the world, and for the sake of our country, the Ming Dynasty, if anyone dares to disobey the Ming Dynasty's decision-making, no matter who he is or what his status is, we will treat him with the same knife."

"What do you think?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's words have reached this point, and the officials feel that everyone is in danger.

Especially those distinguished officials who had not yet reported their fields to the Ministry of Household Affairs were sweating coldly.

I thought that the policy of returning the land had just been finalized, and there was still room for maneuver, so I was taking chances.

Unexpectedly.

Zhu Yuanzhang acted so vigorously that he went on a killing spree in just a few days.

Yongjiahou and the others just lost their heads.

These are those who have achieved great military exploits and were named one of the 28 princes.

A moment of silence.

Hundreds of civil and military officials are shouting for the Holy Spirit!
There is no one who dares to say no.Even the imperial censors, who usually like to argue and find faults, don't dare to say a word of nonsense at this moment, let alone find fault with the eggs.

"Okay!"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed a satisfied smile on his face and said carelessly:
"You are the pillars of our Ming Dynasty, so you are naturally different from the domineering people like Zhu Liangzu."

"The reason why I want to abolish the household registration system is for the people!"

"The common people are the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. No one can suffer the common people!"

"I know your life is hard, but no matter how hard it is, it's better than those other people!"

"When the people are prosperous, the Ming Dynasty will prosper; when the people are miserable, the Ming Dynasty will decline!"

"You are all sensible people, so you naturally understand this truth!"

The voice did not fall.

Another round of mountains calling for the Holy Spirit.

see.

Zhu Yuanzhang stroked his beard and felt that the heat was almost done. He waved his hand and said:
"Come on."

"Throw these stupid heads into the street and feed them to the dogs!"

Soon.

The heads rolling all over the floor were cleaned up, and the blood stains on the floor were also cleaned up.

As if nothing had happened.

Only the smell of blood lingering in the air of the hall was stimulating the nerves of the ministers.

"My dear friends, can anyone tell me what you think about the abolition of the household registration system?"

Zhu Yuanzhang walked down the imperial steps and stood in front of the ministers, looking at everyone with his tiger eyes:

"Don't be afraid, just say what you want to say!"

"I know you are all loyal ministers, so speak out boldly!"

"As the old saying goes, you are not afraid of slanting shadows if you are upright. You have done nothing wrong, so what are you afraid of!"

"If you have different opinions, you should speak out. Didn't Chen Ning just say it very well!"

"Don't be frightened by the scene just now. Say what's on your mind. I don't blame you."

The words fall.

All civil and military officials were as silent as cicadas.

They all stared at each other, not daring to take a breath, let alone express their opinions.

Zhu Liangzu and the others just bought more fertile land, and they were ruined.

The matter of abolishing the household registration system is much bigger than the matter of purchasing fertile land.

What's more, if the household registration system is abolished, the people directly affected are not the ministers themselves. At most, they will enjoy less convenience in the future.

But compared to a small life, it is nothing!
Just when all the ministers were having their own concerns, Hu Weiyong, who stood at the top of the list of civil servants, handed over and left the office:
"Report to Your Majesty!"

"Wei Chen believes that abolishing the household registration system will be a good thing for the country and the people!"

This statement came out.

The ministers immediately raised their heads and looked at Hu Weiyong in disbelief.

I don’t know what this prime minister’s ‘high opinions’ are.

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at Hu Weiyong with an indescribable mockery in his eyes, and then said:

"Oh!"

"What kind of advice does Hu Aiqing have?"

"You are the Prime Minister of Zhongshu, the leader of all officials, and you must take the lead in everything you do. You can't just say nice things to fool us like last time!"

Hu Weiyong's expression condensed when he heard this, and he quickly bowed and said:

"Report to Your Majesty!"

"Everything Wei Chen said is true, and he speaks from the bottom of his heart. I don't dare to mean the slightest bit of flattery."

"I hope Your Majesty will see clearly!"

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly, walked up the imperial steps, sat back on the dragon chair, and signaled the other party to continue with his eyes:

"The hereditary household registration system is a bad policy left by the previous dynasty..."

"Since His Majesty ascended to the throne, he has worked hard to govern, work diligently and care for the people. He has abolished many bad policies of the previous dynasty, and some have optimized some policies for our government's use!"

"However, although His Majesty has done a lot, there are still many hidden dangers and bad governance, and the lives of many people have not been greatly improved."

Hu Weiyong raised his head and glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang, who was aloof, and raised his voice:
"What's more, some bad policies have seriously undermined our road to rejuvenation in the Ming Dynasty!"

"For example, in this hereditary 'official position', many of them are dandy boys, running rampant in the countryside, persecuting the people, and such things are forbidden again and again!"

"Another example is the hereditary 'jailer' who lives in a large prison, takes bribes, and abuses prisoners in various ways, and some even kills them."

"This system, passed down from generation to generation, has caused these petty officials who look down upon them to cause great harm to the country and the people, and have become a cancer for the country!"

"Now that Your Majesty has abolished this unreasonable system and allowed capable people to take over, it can be said to be a blessing to our Ming Dynasty and a blessing to the people."

"Your Majesty Shengming!"
