Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 206 Chapter 206 These are words to govern the world
Zhu Biao was very shocked by Wang Buli's remarks.

Zhu Biao, who has a rather loyal personality, has a very insufficient understanding of human society and local officialdom.

Neither his famous teachers nor Zhu Yuanzhang had ever educated Zhu Biao on how to deal with the world, and they probably had to learn from his mother, Queen Ma.

I can't say that I know everything, but I'm just so-so.

So his way of thinking is almost different from that of most people.

Of course, his father Zhu Yuanzhang is at the other extreme. In short, he believes that there are no good people in official circles.

They will always exploit the common people, so just kill them.

Zhu Yuanzhang also strongly encouraged the people to escort local corrupt officials to Beijing and be tried by him personally, so as to prevent them from harming the people locally, threatening the rule of the Ming Dynasty, and artificially creating a group of chaos.

Because he, a rioter, was forced out by the local government.

"Good intentions lead to bad things?" Zhu Shou said in a dull tone.

Now that Wang Buli has directly cut off most of the roads, it will inevitably make Zhu Yuanzhang feel unhappy.

"What do you mean?"

Zhu Biao often heard his father yelling, "What the hell?"

Wang Buli ignored him. In fact, seeking fairness in a feudal society was simply a big joke.

Especially this case of the Chi Sun family has completely refreshed the outlook of the officials in the capital from top to bottom.

Zhu Biao was shocked by Wang Buli's words.

"But I'm afraid our father won't agree."

King's Dharma, King's Dharma, what is King's Dharma?
The king's law, the king's law, is the royal law!
Zhu Yuanzhang himself sometimes didn't care about the king's laws and would directly kill people beyond the laws he established.

This is because it is an important manifestation of the emperor's legitimacy and authority.

"That's right." Wang Buli thought for a while and then said: "In the Ming Dynasty Law, no matter how big or small a case is, there is no clear final adjudication system."

If you don't believe it, you can send a prince or minister as an imperial envoy to pay a private visit incognito and listen to the voices of the people. "

Isn’t this the way to govern a country?
When we come to power, even if we can't give Wang Buli the position of prime minister, we still have to let him assist us.

"You are absolutely right." Zhu Biao was young after all, and said with some joy:
"Once many starts have been made, the emperor will be busy. There will always be grievances in all directions. If they continue to go to the capital, what else can the emperor do?"

Zhu Biao knew what his father was thinking, and the reason why he encouraged Beijing Control was for the better rule of Ming Dynasty.

"To put it simply, in a case, as long as one of the plaintiff and defendant feels that the government's handling of the case is unfair and that he has been "unjustly wronged," he can file an unlimited complaint and apply to clear his name."

This case can be overturned only if there are people in the DPRK who want to use this incident as an opportunity to attack officials from different camps.

This is life!

Such people are not worthy of being an official.

That woman is so messy and arrogant. What does the clan do for food?
The county magistrate is also a waste.

"Not only that, but lawsuits that have not been tried at the county, prefecture, and provincial levels must not be brought to Beijing for prosecution." Wang Buli was silent for a while and then said: "At least dozens of sticks will be required.

After this case is over, neither the plaintiff nor the defendant shall make any false accusations because of this case again. "

The officialdom is divided and the party is divided against those who are different. Naturally, many excuses are needed.

He also wants to be the "ultimate Qingtian Grand Master" in the mouth of the people!
Wang Buli thought for a while and then asked pointedly: "Is it possible that Your Majesty wants to give local officials free salary?"

Secondly, cases involving civil economic disputes such as household marriage, land, land, etc. will not be accepted until they reach the provincial level.

The existence of the emperor is the most unfair thing.

Zhu Biao did not have as much knowledge on the law as Wang Buli, so he did not understand the meaning of these words.

You are just one of the excuses.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel relieved even after the rebellion was executed. Such shameless and cunning people should be cut into pieces to wake up the world.

Third, even if you agree to the request, you don’t have to accept it. You have to send someone to check it out, and you can’t just believe one side of the story.

Otherwise, you, a loser who has been dismissed from your career, do you still deserve the word "fairness" until the day when you are still alive to redress your injustice?

Such unfilial things happened below, but they turned a blind eye. The people withdrew the complaint, so you won't pursue it, right?

Wang Buli pointed to the file on the table: "The Ming Dynasty dealt with appeals beyond the level very lightly. Even filing a petition was considered a reasonable and legal choice. The local officials had no right to stop it. The emperor was considered to be "the ultimate king of the sky". "Master" will definitely make decisions for the people.

As for the fact that Yang Naiwu and Xiao Baicai in the Qing Dynasty had to go to Beijing to file a petition, it is simply a fiction.

They only accept criminal cases, or they are extremely greedy and evil. These three-level officers are all colluding and cannot give him justice.

"What you said makes sense, then the Criminal Department of Beijing Control should be the final judge.

It was just a slap in the face, taking advantage of the loopholes he had made.

What a fucking waste of the salary we paid you.

Especially the method of Beijing Control, Zhu Yuanzhang valued it very much, but it turned out to be used by such a false accusation.

After Zhu Biao finished listening, he was silent for a long time, and then he finally said:

Officials inside and outside the capital who dare to obstruct it are not only inconsistent with the behavior of an official, but will also be labeled as obstructing the holy hearing. This is a very serious political mistake. "

But friends.

"What's the explanation?"

"What is good for those above is good for what is good for those below. The king of Chu is fond of having a slim waist, and many people in the palace starve to death."

Speaking of the trend of flattery in officialdom, I believe you have experienced it from above and looking down.

If the emperor likes to be the great master of Qingtian, then his officials will naturally try their best to satisfy his wish.

If he is given the opportunity to be the master of Qingtian everywhere, they will be able to relax a lot, and let the emperor do the work alone.

The emperor couldn't spare time to do other things, so the world would probably become even more corrupt tomorrow! "

Wang Buli's words were so shocking that Zhu Biao froze on the spot and remained silent for a long time.

He originally thought that ministers flattered the emperor, mostly by singing praises and virtues, but he never thought that there could be such a means of "finding work" for the emperor!
As the prince, Zhu Biao naturally heard too many courtiers praising the emperor, saying that his father was the real dragon emperor and that he was destined to be the emperor.

The courtiers boasted that Zhu Yuanzhang was "lucky to see the real dragon flying in China"!
"I am lucky enough to meet a saint from the Southern Kingdom"!
They also praised Zhu Yuanzhang as their great benefactor for rescuing them from Yuan Tarzi.

Over time.

Even Zhu Biao felt that what others said was damn right!

Otherwise, how could his father, a wandering beggar, conquer the world?

There must be great luck!
Of course, some of the ministers who boasted about Zhu Yuanzhang were killed by him, and even cut in half!

Because after this man became an official, he actually wanted to build a government office on the ruins of Zhang Shicheng's "Imperial Palace".

After Zhang Shicheng rebelled, he transformed the government office in Suzhou into an imperial palace, which was later burned down.

After all, this place once had a "tiger perched on a dragon's plate". Is it true that one of your ministers wants to build a government office here?

Even if you have been the teacher of the prince and kings, it will not work.

There are some "kingly" matters that you, a minister, cannot interfere with at will!

Zhu Biao put down the herbal tea in his hand and couldn't help but sigh:

"I still know nothing about the grassroots level. I usually only learn about the happenings below through memorials in the palace. But how much of the situation written on paper is true?"

These words reminded Wang Buli of the operations of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty. The strength of the Ming Dynasty's troops, food and grass, and the strength of various places were all understood on paper.

Report that there are soldiers here, which means there are tens of thousands of elite soldiers.

In short, the behavior of the emperor Chongzhen deserved to be deceived by his subordinates.

"Well, so the emperor has sent inspectors to inspect various places, so he can always get some real news."

Wang Buli also put down the herbal tea in his hand and added to Zhu Biao:

"Song Lian and other famous teachers are teaching you, the prince, they won't even teach you the Legalist books, right?"

Zhu Biao was of a generous nature and did not like strict laws like his father, so he was naturally influenced by these teachers.

Because Zhu Yuanzhang himself not only inherited the harsh punishment of the Yuan Dynasty, but also carried forward this harsh punishment.

Which official is not fearful under his rule?
"Skip the involvement."

Zhu Biao doesn't want others to judge his teacher poorly.

They did teach themselves for many years.

Wang Buli hummed and did not continue to pull, but said:

"In the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Zhuge Liang should be the most respected among you monarchs, right?"

"good."

Zhu Biao was extremely moved by Zhuge Liang's painstaking efforts to restore the Han Dynasty.

Wang Buli nodded slightly, but how many people in history can compare to Liu Bei's emperor, and are they worthy of being served by a figure like Zhuge Liang?

He couldn't even touch Liu Bei's shadow, so he just thought that all the ministers under him were Zhuge Liang and the like.

But many people complement each other and achieve mutual success!
Even Zhuge Liang would not be able to play well under the Ming Dynasty's system.

You want to be an independent prime minister, with overall power, and be careful to dig your grave and settle the scores later.

Wang Buli sighed and said: "It's a pity that there is no Prime Minister Zhuge in the world. Prince, please don't force this kind of thing. It's normal if you don't meet him."

"You, Wang Buli, are capable and you are our sister-in-law, can't you make it?" Faced with Zhu Biao's question, Wang Buli's face was full of surprise and he pointed at his face: "Me?"

His current situation is just that of a common man who has been carrying mortgage loans for more than 20 years and hopes to live a prosperous life when his time comes.

Now Zhu Biao was so naive as to ask him if he could become Zhuge Liang?
Wang Buli laughed at the question.

In this era of the Ming Dynasty, it was hard to have any fun without causing destruction.

Do you still want me to work tirelessly for you until you die of exhaustion?

There may be some big changes during this period, and all the money will be lost.

Why are you so naive!

"Don't be ridiculous, how can I, King Buli, be compared to Prime Minister Zhuge!"

Wang Buli stood up and said in a very firm tone:
"It's just that I have some insights on some things and know how to think. If I were tied to the position of prime minister and surrounded by memorials from all over the world day and night, who would have time to think?

Brother Prince, I advise you not to dream about looking for ministers like Zhuge Liang. By the time you ascend the throne and become emperor, you will be very powerful with capable ministers and officials under your command. You still want to find famous ministers under your rule through the ages. I am dreaming. Don't even dare to do this. "

Zhu Biao kept laughing.

Wang Buli's words didn't sound good, but they made sense.

Everyone wants Zhuge Liang, but if he really becomes a monarch, how many people can make him a person like Zhuge Liang?

"Okay, let's discuss the complaint."

Wang Buli walked around for a few times and then withdrew: "After questioning, I found out that Chi Sun came to our Jiangning County government office because someone pointed out that if we want to prevent someone from being sued, these people will take the initiative to get involved in this kind of thing. , think of ways to make money."

"what?"

Zhu Biao stared and was at a loss: "Can this also make money?"

"There are two ways to make money by relying on the yamen, and they only introduce new things from the old, and they are constantly updated and iterated. I don't even know some of the ways to play."

Wang Buli swung his sleeves and said, "Brother Prince, it's better not to understand him too well, lest your Taoist heart becomes unstable and you lose the generosity in your heart. This is what your father least wants to see."

Zhu Biao looked at Wang Buli and found that although he was younger than himself, his perspective on things was much better than ordinary people.

And it's also his father's intention. He will handle any difficult problems for you, and he will also take care of you when you get insulted.

In the future, you just need to take over the Ming Dynasty from our old Zhu family, and it will be great to be a qualified and conservative king.

It seems that the grassroots of this yamen can really train people.

Stupid people can't survive here.

Because of Wang Buli, in fact, Zhu Yuanzhang and his son, after learning his secret, had already sent people to investigate what he had done before.

It can be said that after Wang Buli entered the county government, in addition to convincing people, he also did some tricks behind the scenes, secretly spinning silk and making webs, so that he could seize the opportunity as a junior to become the jailer.

There was no need for the older clerks to hinder him. After he became the pawnbroker, he would directly find an opportunity to kick out all the old people in the execution room.

He recruited a few newcomers and set up a framework to do things. He also learned that Wu Wei from the county was backing him and made him his confidant.

From a temporary worker to a regular worker, and then to securing his position as a jailer in the execution chamber, Wang Buli put a lot of thought into it.

Zhu Biao knew all these things.

So now he also believes what Wang Buli said.

“Those intermediaries who file complaints on their behalf will know better how to make troubles, make big troubles and solve big problems, and make small troubles and solve small problems. The habit of not making troubles and not solving them will become more and more frequent.

In the end, the law of the Ming Dynasty will be that whoever makes trouble will be justified, and those who suffer will always be those who abide by the rules. If this continues, who can not make trouble? "

Zhu Biao took a deep breath, thinking about this kind of thing gave him a headache.

Later generations will become even more irresistible when they become emperors, so this kind of thing will become more and more frequent.

Who will follow the Ming Law then?
"I will explain this matter to my father."

"Yes." Wang Buli handed another piece of information he wrote to Zhu Biao:

"When I was free these past two days, I also checked the files of the Ministry of Punishment. Through summary, I found that people in Zhejiang and Jiangxi are extremely litigious. They are the main areas where people go to Beijing to accuse and report others.

Moreover, they would coerce the defendants to come to Beijing with them. The result was that the prisons in the capital were filled with prisoners, and many people even died in prison without being tried in time. Among those who were tried, there were also many innocent people. implicated.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, these two places are relatively close to the capital, and the time cost and travel expenses are much less than other places. Moreover, these places have long been valued by His Majesty because of the competition for hegemony. "

Wang Buli didn't know why Lao Zhu was still highly sensitive after he conquered the world. He was afraid that someone would rebel against him in the name of Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng.

After Zhu Biao read Wang Buli's statistics, he nodded slightly. These two locations were indeed the areas his father focused on. After all, it was not his own territory before, but the enemy's territory.

"Your statistical method is quite good."

"It's just a summary of the data."

Wang Buli also knew that it was not feasible to file a petition to the Northwest and other regions.

In these days, a person can encounter a lot of trouble just by traveling.

Even tiger disasters in the Jiangnan area are very common.

There was a strong man in the next county who killed seven tigers that caused trouble within half a month and was hailed as a tiger-fighting hero.

This person is going to be included in the county annals, and he has to write a special note about it. The family tree has to be written on a separate page.

This kind of tiger-fighting hero is indeed very powerful in the eyes of the people.

It is extremely rare for an ordinary person to kill a tiger. If he kills seven tigers at once, his name will spread throughout the capital.

Even Zhu Yuanzhang had to order one or two awards.

"In addition to this matter, there is also the matter of Chi Sun taking the initiative to hook up with the government officials to open the door for her. In addition to sex, it is more about wealth."

Wang Buli fanned his cattail leaf fan and said nonchalantly: "Many people have grievances with others, so they go to the yamen at all levels to complain, and bribe the yamen clerks and officials to approve the complaint, forcing the defendant's family to deal with the lawsuit everywhere.

Those government officials and officials will also take the opportunity to blackmail defendants who do not understand the law. Regardless of whether they are justified or not, within three to five years, you will not be able to live in peace, the family will be broken up, and you will go bankrupt and owe a lot of money.

Although the Ming Dynasty Law has a law against those who make false accusations, if the accuser is an old, weak, woman, child, or extremely poor person, most of them will not be punished or be given a lighter punishment on the grounds of ignorance and weakness.

Most of those who came to complain were women and the elderly who acted as plaintiffs to avoid punishment from the court.

If Chi Sun's case had not been heavily scrutinized by Qian Shangshu, they might have been able to succeed.

In addition, before the local magistrate had dealt with it, he learned that he had to go to the superior government office to file a complaint, which was like a puppet on strings.

When the court opened for trial, they were not present at all. How could the magistrate and others try this case?
As a result, normal local judicial procedures have been seriously disrupted.

The judicial costs for the government and the people have increased significantly, as evidenced by Chi Sun's case.

It could have been solved at the county government office, but the woman had been making trouble for so long and went to Beijing to sue. They wanted to solve it for her step by step.

It's really ironic that so many officials in the Ming Dynasty were taken advantage of by a woman like her. "

Zhu Biao just listened quietly, and he finally heard that Wang Buli was very disgusted with the lack of punishment for false accusations.

"In this case, false accusations of rebellion must be punished with heavy penalties."

Zhu Biao stood up and walked around for a while: "Brother-in-law, what do you think?"

"Since corrupt officials not only have their homes confiscated but also have their families involved, naturally they should be more severe if false accusations are not made. It is normal to try to avoid false accusations."

Wang Buli waved his cattail leaf fan and said with a smile: "Nowadays, the Ming Law is still not comprehensive enough. We can only make revisions from time to time after discovering problems, and strive to keep pace with the times, in order to become a good law."

"Good good."

Zhu Biao clapped his hands repeatedly: "I was enlightened by what you said today. I always thought that when I became emperor, how I would deal with it would not be like killing everyone like my father, but giving them a chance." .

But now it sounds like those scoundrels are specifically taking advantage of loopholes in the law to benefit themselves.

If I, the Ming Dynasty, cannot implement the laws, then those who do not abide by the laws will become rich and noble, and they will be promoted to high positions.

On the contrary, those who keep the law are greatly harmed.

Even though he is very talented, he is not like those corrupt officials and cannot make any progress. If he wastes time, he may even regress.

If people like this who stick to the bottom line join the ranks of corrupt officials and associate with them, I don't know how far Ming Dynasty will go. "

"If you think about the worst, it will be just like the previous dynasties. It will be so dark that all the people will stand up and overthrow the Ming Dynasty."

Wang Buli spread his hands and said with a smile: "The laws of history are generally like this. There is no such thing as an eternal dynasty."

Zhu Biao actually couldn't accept what Wang Buli said so directly.

Although he also knew that the Ming Dynasty would eventually fall under the indiscriminate governance of several generations of emperors.

But now that the Ming Dynasty has just been founded less than ten years ago, there must be many things that can be changed.

What's more, he is young and will be able to make great achievements when he becomes emperor in the future. Why should he be so pessimistic!
Compared to his father's sense of mission that time is waiting for me, Zhu Biao still takes his time and believes that he has plenty of time to lead Ming Dynasty to a strong future.

"I can't tell you. I have to digest what you said when I get back."

Zhu Biao picked up all the memorials written by Wang Buli, held them in his hand and said goodbye.

Wang Buli watched Zhu Biao leave the hall and said nothing more.

He called Tian Liugen over: "Is there anyone else who wants to ask you?"

"Prince-in-law, ever since the people in prison learned that you had trampled the dignity of the Ming Dynasty to the ground, these dogs have all accepted their fate, started spitting out money, and stopped daring to prick you."

With a happy face, Tian Liugen took out a ledger from his arms and placed it on the table:
"This is the harvest of the past few days in prison. Please take a look at it, Prince Consort."

Wang Buli didn't look anxiously, he just nodded:
"Well done, ask the brothers to give out more money within a reasonable and legal scope. Anyway, they are cheating others to make a profit. I will give rewards to the brothers at the end of the month."

The cell leader Tian Liugen was overjoyed when he heard this and hurried back to tell his brothers to work hard. The prince-in-law finally spoke!
Zhu Biao hurriedly returned to the palace. He had many ideas about governing the country that he wanted to communicate with his father.
