Ming Dynasty: At the beginning of the game, Lao Zhu resigned and retired.

Chapter 581: Master Hu's Unpredictable Speculation
Chapter 581: Master Hu's Unpredictable Speculation
Zhu Yuanzhang and his son Zhu Biao frowned at the same time.

This is what Mr. Hu said.

That was bound to happen.

Both Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao firmly believed this.

Because this kind of thing has actually happened countless times.

This is not because of any inducement or anything like that.

It's very simple, it's just the instinctive greed in human nature.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but feel his scalp itching, and he looked at Master Hu and said.

"Okay, Weiyong, you insist on calling Biaoer here. Just tell me what you think!"

Zhu Biao turned around and looked at his father-in-law in surprise.

I never thought that I would be implicated even though I wasn't even there.

On the other hand, Master Hu had a nonchalant look on his face. He looked at the father and son of the Zhu family calmly and said.

"Your Majesty, Prince, the problem here, to put it bluntly, is all about the administration of officials."

"Especially the fight against corruption!"

"It seems that His Majesty has repeatedly used heavy hands, and the torture of skinning and stuffing straw has frightened many people."

"But we have to admit that corruption and abuse of power still occur today."

"What we are going to discuss today is how to come up with a set of rules."

“This set of rules needs to be comprehensive enough and the effect needs to be good enough.”

"Moreover, it is not something that can be implemented in a short time, but it must be carried out from the Hongwu Dynasty all the way until the crown prince ascends the throne."

"This is also the reason why I must have the Crown Prince present."

"If the prince understands our original intention of establishing this system and knows the key here."

"So even if he wants to change it after he ascends the throne, it won't make things worse!"

When Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao heard this, they became excited.

Especially Zhu Biao, he was so satisfied.

For him, his upbringing determined that he did not hate punishing people by killing them.

But he hated this policy which had no technical content and only used killing as a means of punishment and intimidation.

This will make it seem like all the years of learning are useless.

It’s just killing people anyway, who can’t do it?

With a wave of the hand and a stroke of the red pen, the person was gone.

But things are never that simple.

But now the idea proposed by Mr. Hu is different.

Use the system to solve the problem fundamentally, and take the issue of continuity into consideration from the very beginning.

That's good.

Zhu Yuanzhang smacked his lips, somewhat noncommittal.

For him, corrupt officials must be killed.

Not killing is not enough to appease the public anger;
Without killing, it is not enough to clean up the bureaucracy.

And what Mr. Hu has come up with now is obviously different from his original routine.

However, he was willing to listen, whether for the sake of Mr. Hu's face or for his own fat son who was delighted.

He has to give face to these two people.

When Master Hu saw that the father and son did not object, he felt much happier.

This is a good first step.

Thinking of this, Master Hu sorted out his thoughts and said seriously.

"Your Majesty, Prince, there is one thing you must realize."

"There is no way to eliminate corruption, bribery, embezzlement of public funds and other illegal activities."

"This cannot be changed by changing the emperor, changing the dynasty, or increasing salaries."

"As long as there are still people in office and as long as there are still people in power, there will be people who will keep coming after them."

"They use various means, such as beauty, family affection, and even teacher-student friendship, fellow student friendship, etc. to seduce them." "The purpose is nothing more than to use the power in the hands of the other party to seek personal gain."

"This is human nature. People are always greedy!"

At this point, Zhu Yuanzhang got angry.

"Then let's kill him!"

"One thousand is not enough to kill five thousand, five thousand is not enough to kill ten thousand, ten thousand is not enough to kill a hundred thousand!"

"I just don't believe that after all this killing, there won't be many good officials left!"

When Mr. Hu saw Zhu Yuanzhang's furious look, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Got it!
I'm afraid Old Deng really has post-traumatic stress syndrome.

His childhood experiences left him with too many indelible sufferings.

But Master Hu could not sit idly by and watch Zhu Yuanzhang act so recklessly.

If you keep doing this, you might end up putting me in jail one day.

Then can I still live a good life?
Thinking of this, Master Hu simply bowed and said.

"Your Majesty, your method is useless!"

"You can intimidate for a while, but you can't intimidate for long!"

"What's more, if you do this, the entire official community will hate you."

"You certainly used your supreme prestige to suppress the officials, but have you ever thought about your descendants?"

"Where is the prince?"

"Where's the grandson?"

"What about the descendants of your Zhu family?"

"Can they have the same killing methods as you?"

"What can he do if he can't suppress the officials then?"

"Your Majesty, you know very well that without your prestige, officials working together can overthrow an emperor."

"By then, the imperial decrees cannot leave the palace. What's the difference between an emperor and a human-shaped seal?"

Mr. Hu's words frightened Zhu Yuanzhang and his father so much that they stood up.

"What do you say?"

Looking at the stunned expressions of the two men opposite him, Master Hu looked calm.

He spread his hands.

"As for me, I have no ambitions, and I met you two. What if it was a different dynasty?"

"As long as you are a little more ambitious and a little more ruthless, and just deceive your superiors and subordinates, how difficult can it be?"

"For example, first persuade the emperor to abandon the Jinyiwei because of their bad reputation."

"This will cut off the emperor's channels for finding out what's going on outside."

"Afterwards, he relied on the power and interests in his hands to win over all the officials, only reporting good news and not bad news."

"Or just make something up out of thin air."

"So, the emperor's emotions and even his decisions are really what he wants?"

"I'm afraid this is the result of the ministers' deception!"

"By then, what's the point of being an emperor?"

Mr. Hu's method of using himself as an example is undoubtedly the most intuitive, but also the most shocking.

Especially when the father and son thought of Zhu Xiongying, they felt their scalps tingling.

Given Master Hu's status and Zhu Xiongying's trust in him, if Master Hu really followed this path, Zhu Xiongying might really become a puppet in Master Hu's hands.

You can do whatever you want.

However, Zhu Biao, who was the first to react, suddenly woke up.

'Isn't it about the administration of officials and the fight against corruption?'

"Why did you suddenly get into this?"

"Is it really that serious?"
