Zhu Yuanzhang can see my dreams

Chapter 21 21 New Questions

Listening to Wang Buli's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

It was this common practice of Ming officials that made him extremely angry.

Not killing those people was not enough to quell his anger.

Wang Buli could see that the expression on Chief Guo's face was a little unhappy, which was very strange. He asked:

"Didn't Chief Guo have any contact with official handover documents in the Criminal Department?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was exposed to official documents every day. He could boast that there was no one in the world who had more access to official documents than him.

But the problem is that no one has told him the truth about the empty seal case.

This case was a huge shame for Zhu Yuanzhang's administration.

But now that Wang Buli has told the truth, Zhu Yuanzhang has broken his defense even more.

None of his ministers told him the truth. It turned out that this was how his ministers acted.

They deserve to die!

Snapped.

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the table angrily. When he saw the look of astonishment on Wang Buli's face, he hurriedly lowered his voice:

"How can local officials do things like this and deceive His Majesty like this? They are so bold. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, they must be arrested!"

Wang Buli stretched out his hand to hold down the excited Zhu Yuanzhang: "Mr. Guo, what do you want the local officials to do?"

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored this: "If local officials use empty seals casually, won't they harm the people?"

"Master Guo has never worked in the county government, has he?"

"Yes, I also followed His Majesty to fight on the battlefield, and that's why I got such a position."

War veterans like Song Dianshi were lucky enough to find an official position.

After all, the social status of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty is not the lowest.

As long as there is no complete peace, their efforts will be needed, and those generals will not treat their soldiers too harshly.

What's more, the Ming Dynasty has just been founded, and the combat effectiveness of his soldiers is very high.

Wang Buli picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Mr. Guo, based on common sense in government operations, the possibility of officials cheating and making profits by using blank documents and squeezing the people is very low."

"Why?"

Zhu Yuanzhang felt from the bottom of his heart that Wang Buli was trying to open a back door for himself because he wanted to do the same.

Wang Buli smiled without any pretense: "Because of His Majesty's power! People can go to Beijing to complain to the officials, and they can even send criminal magistrates to Beijing. This is a measure that the previous dynasty never had."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. This was also his method to prevent local officials from misbehaving. It seemed to be very popular with the people.

"Besides, the blank reports of local officials are stamped with sewn seals. Even if they are taken by outsiders, they will be of no use." Wang Buli smiled and said:

"At least they didn't engrave a fake seal, which shows that they are still afraid of His Majesty. They just don't want to travel back and forth for several months for convenience."

"what!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.

If any desperate official dares to engrave a fake seal, we will send all the men in his family to guard the border, and all the women will be sent to the priest's office!

"Wang Dianli, do you call this fear of His Majesty?"

Wang Buli smiled and said nothing. Do you really think that everyone is a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty?

Officials of the Ming Dynasty have no small thoughts of their own, are they all saints?

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't do it himself, but he still wanted his subordinates to do it. It was simply too difficult for others to do.

As for what Wang Buli said about data requiring officials to run back and forth, it is true.

Zhu Yuanzhang hasn't thought of any good solution yet.

But if they dare to deceive like this this time, they might do something wrong next time.

"correct."

"Do you think His Majesty's thunderous methods are wrong?"

Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to find out what Wang Buli said about commercial taxes being too low, but he never thought that he would talk about the empty seal case.

"Yes, that's not right either." Wang Buli smiled and said, "Mr. Guo, if these words come out of my mouth, I won't recognize them outside this door."

It was this kind of statement again. Zhu Yuanzhang nodded: "We are very strict, and we have been able to gain a firm foothold in the Ministry of Punishment for so many years. Let's talk about it." "There is no law in the Ming Dynasty that says empty seals are guilty, and the Ministry of Punishment does not No one has been arrested for this matter, and now he suddenly kills people because of Kongyin, who will be convinced?"

"hiss."

Zhu Yuanzhang gasped.

He was very satisfied that Wang Buli praised the Ming Law so much, but there were loopholes in the Ming Law, which made him feel embarrassed.

The bias in the understanding of the empty seal case is entirely due to Zhu Yuanzhang's inherent impression.

He believes that as long as he is an official, he must be corrupt.

This has been the case since Qin unified the six kingdoms, not to mention the corrupt officials who served the Yuan Dynasty.

Now it's Ming's turn, and this group of officials will not change.

Zhu Yuanzhang's basic judgment that all officials will be corrupt will not change.

"You mean His Majesty killed the wrong person?"

Zhu Yuanzhang was already angry.

"No." Wang Buli shook his head repeatedly:

"Your Majesty did not kill the wrong person, but now that he has become the master of the world, he must be justified in killing people.

Things like empty seals need to be included in the regulations of the Ming Dynasty, so that they will not dare to violate the law. "

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, which shows that Ming law is incomplete.

"But so many things in the world have to be written into the Ming Dynasty Laws, and those dog officials will never read such a thick book."

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head repeatedly: "You have never been in the Ministry of Justice. Those dog officials have done a lot of evil things."

"But His Majesty is never merciless in killing people. You and I will inevitably be involved, and no one is afraid of involving his family.

When the time comes, the road that Chief Guo will pave for his son may not be a golden road, but a hellish road. "

Wang Buli put down the tea cup in his hand and gave some advice to the Ming Dynasty official who was in front of him, who was tentatively qualified.

"Are you afraid?"

“Of course, I know the law well so that I don’t make mistakes.

But there are some things that are not mentioned in the Ming Law, and if His Majesty kills you and my whole family just because he says a word, don’t I need to be afraid? "

Wang Buli stood up and took two steps: "If His Majesty doesn't act in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty he formulated, how long can the officials below persist, and how many emperors will be interested in it?

Among the small officials in the officialdom, which one of you is not diligent in doing things, but also frightened? "

It turns out that Wang Buli thought this way.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time, and his character was not the kind to listen to advice.

Even if it was Liu Bowen's advice, he would not listen to a few of them and had his own fairly independent judgment.

In the entire Ming Dynasty, except for Queen Ma, Prince Zhu Biao counted as half.

Few others can persuade him.

After Wang Buli finished speaking, he was not in a hurry and slowly refilled his tea cup.

Today, Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking about collecting business taxes, but the problem was not solved.

Wang Buli threw several questions at once, and he was stunned one after another.

"What you said makes some sense."

The bodyguard who still insisted on eavesdropping outside the window had a look of shock on his face.

Your Majesty would actually listen to another person's advice?

He looked up at the sky and saw that the sun had not come out in the west.
