The short video shows the ancient times, and the emperors cried with envy!

Chapter 791 Thunderous punishment, eliminating the country's scourge! Chao Cuo: If I can get this master, I will die without regrets!
Western Han Dynasty plane.

"This is a true wise ruler!"

Chao Cuo was extremely excited!
Zhu Yuanzhang first investigated the traitors and then rectified the military discipline, advancing step by step and taking cautious actions. He is unlike the current court, which is indecisive and always turns a blind eye to corrupt officials!
Thinking about how he had submitted memorials many times suggesting the reduction of power among the feudal lords, but was always shelved by Emperor Jingdi with the excuse that "we should not act rashly", he could not help but sigh inwardly!
This kind of courage to get to the point directly is exactly the quality that I have always longed to see in the monarch!
Zhu Yuanzhang was worthy of being an emperor who had conquered the world, and he knew that military and national affairs should not be taken lightly.

Using the navy to contain the enemy and mobilizing the Mongolian tribes was a strategic move that made Chao Cuo applaud.

Isn't this exactly the strategy I have always advocated - ending war with war?
Unfortunately, Emperor Jing was always worried about wasting money and manpower, and was timid.

A truly wise ruler should have such courage!

Not afraid of the powerful, not afraid of criticism, just for the country and the people!

Thinking about his strategy of reducing the power of the feudal lords, if he met a monarch like Zhu Yuanzhang, there would be no worry that he could not realize it.
Chao Cuo looked up at the sky, his eyes full of emotion.

It's a pity that I was born at the wrong time. If I could assist such a wise monarch, what would it matter even if I died?

Serving such a monarch, I would die without regrets!
[During Chongzhen's 17-year reign, he wrongly killed dozens of ministers, including many loyal and honest ones.]

【Yuan Chonghuan, Zhou Yanru, Chen Xinjia and others all died unjustly. 】

【Zhu Yuanzhang read through the memorials and case files of these ministers, his brows furrowed.】

[“There is something strange between the lines of these impeachment memorials.”]

【He began to carefully examine every major case.】

[“Yuan Chonghuan recovered Ningyuan and Jinzhou and made great contributions. How could he suddenly be accused of treason?”]

【Zhu Yuanzhang asked people to investigate the officials who participated in the impeachment that year.】

[“Interesting, these people all have a history of dealings with the Jianlu.”]

[“They are the real collaborators!”]

【Zhu Yuanzhang angrily slammed the dragon case. 】

[“What a trick to kill someone with a borrowed knife, frame someone up!”]

[The next morning, Zhu Yuanzhang came straight to the point.]

[“Yang He, Gao Qiquan, Wang Dehua, stand up!”]

[These are the important officials who participated in the false accusation against Yuan Chonghuan.]

[“I have already found evidence that you are secretly colluding with the Jianlu.”]

[“Now I’ll give you a chance to tell the truth!”]

[The ministers' faces turned pale.]

[Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "Do you think I am as easy to fool as Chongzhen?"]

[“Come here, confiscate all their property and letters!”]

【Three days later, the truth came to light. 】

[These people really have secret dealings with the Jianlu, and they specifically frame loyal officials of the court.]

【Zhu Yuanzhang announced their crimes in the Golden Palace.】

[“Falsifying loyal officials and collaborating with the enemy to betray the country is a crime that deserves death!”]

[“I want everyone in the world to know that loyal officials will be vindicated and treacherous officials will be punished!”]

【From then on, ministers in the court no longer dared to falsely accuse others easily.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang ordered a re-examination of the unjust case.】

[“The family members of the ministers who were killed are allowed to write letters to appeal for justice.”]

[“I want to give justice to the world!”]

【The key to governing a country lies in employing people. 】

【To kill a loyal minister by mistake is equivalent to letting ten treacherous ministers go. 】

[“The Chongzhen kid was too impatient and believed in slander.”]

Barrage:

——"Don't scold Chongzhen. He really tried his best."

——"To be honest, Chongzhen maintained the integrity of the Ming Dynasty and refused to surrender even if it meant hanging himself. This is better than the late Southern Song Dynasty."

——"If there was an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang in the late Ming Dynasty, Li Zicheng and Huang Taiji would have to be more honest." ——"To be honest, Chongzhen was already the most diligent emperor in the late Ming Dynasty, but it was a pity that he was born at the wrong time!"

……

Seeing this scene, many people could not help but feel pity and resentment towards Emperor Chongzhen.

This last emperor showed weakness and naivety everywhere, which really let down this beautiful country!

How can the country and the people be saved by tears?
When I think of Chongzhen's timidity when facing the remnants of Wei Zhongxian, and then look at Zhu Yuanzhang's swift and decisive measures, I feel that this last emperor was too naive!

I always thought that patient teaching could make treacherous officials turn back, but I didn't know that these people were already beyond redemption!
Chongzhen was diligent in his government affairs and reviewed memorials every night, but he was unaware that many of these memorials were false and insincere.

But he wanted to do everything himself and didn't know how to employ capable officials.

Such arbitrary and despotic behavior only made the court's malpractices even more serious.

The funniest thing is that he always thinks that he can pacify the border by winning people over with virtue, but he doesn't know that when surrounded by tigers and wolves, kindness is actually the greatest weakness.

Those cowardly generals acted so recklessly because they saw that he was too soft-hearted.

If Chongzhen had half the courage of Zhu Yuanzhang, why would he let the Ming Dynasty be destroyed in his own hands?

Unfortunately, he was suspicious and indecisive by nature. He neither dared to kill people in large numbers nor was willing to delegate power to capable ministers.

Looking at this contrast, it is really heartbreaking!
……

Ming Dynasty plane.

Hai Rui was on his way to the garrison when he suddenly saw a strange phenomenon in the sky.

This honest official, known as "Hai Qingtian" by the world, was demoted to Danzhou for protesting against Yan Song.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's thundering methods at this moment, I can't help but burst into tears!
What a wise king!
Hai Rui was deeply moved.

Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of corrupt generals was exactly what he had always hoped for.

Thinking of my impeachment speech when I impeached Yan Song, and then seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's thundering measures against corrupt officials, I couldn't help but feel deeply moved.

This is a truly wise ruler!
If Emperor Jiajing could have such courage, why would he allow people like Yan Song to run rampant in the court? !
As he watched the strange phenomenon in the sky gradually disappear, Hai Rui felt a surge of pride in his heart.

Even in adversity, we must uphold justice like Zhu Yuanzhang.

So what if I was exiled?
As long as there is such a wise ruler, it is worth it for loyal subjects to die for him!

……

Northern Song Dynasty plane.

Bao Zheng stood in the courtyard of Kaifeng Prefecture, stroking his beard and thinking.

He had always hated corrupt officials, and when he saw Zhu Yuanzhang's ruthless measures, he suddenly felt happy and righteous!
Bao Zheng was excited.

Those generals who embezzled military pay were more despicable than traitors.

Thinking about how I had once advocated severe punishment for corrupt officials and was not afraid of the powerful, I now felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's decisiveness was even more valuable.

Those generals who rely on their merits to act recklessly should be eradicated like this!
If every dynasty had such a wise ruler, why would there be unrest in the world?
Looking at the sky, Bao Zheng couldn't help but sigh.

If an emperor can cherish his country and care about the people so much, he deserves the title of "wise ruler".

Zhu Yuanzhang's actions made him see the true political clarity. Such actions that please the people are the way to be a king.

……

On another plane.

Fan Zhongyan stared at the sky with a frown on his face.

Although many people applauded Zhu Yuanzhang's move.

But he was worried about such drastic measures.

Although it is satisfying to kill so many people like this, it is too hasty.

In such a large-scale purge, there is no guarantee that loyal and good people will not be killed by mistake.

Among those generals, there may have been some who were forced into doing so and had no choice.

If they were all executed, wouldn't that discourage the military's morale?
When governing a country, education should be the first priority. If killing is resorted to at every turn, it may backfire.
