The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 494: A poor couple suffers a lot in their youth, but they enjoy a long-lasting love when they are rich.

【Zhu Yuanzhang executed Hu Weiyong's entire clan for treason.】

[After Hu Weiyong was executed, he officially ordered the abolition of the Secretariat and dismissal of the Prime Minister.]

[The power of the prime minister was divided into six parts, one for each of the six ministries]

[The power of the Grand Commander was divided into five parts, and five military command offices were established respectively]

[And let each department check and balance each other from the system]

[At the same time, he established a family precept that "afterwards, when descendants become emperors, they are not allowed to appoint a prime minister. If any of the ministers dare to petition for the appointment of one, the civil and military officials will immediately impeach the offender, have him tortured to death, and have his entire family executed."]

[At this point, the prime minister system that had been implemented in ancient China for more than a thousand years was officially abolished and has never been restored since then]

[After Hu Weiyong was executed for the crime of abuse of power and abuse of power, the Hu case became a weapon in Zhu Yuanzhang's hands]

[In the same year that Hu Weiyong was killed, Zhu Yuanzhang executed more than 15,000 officials of all ranks in the six ministries who were loyal to Hu Weiyong]

……

{If you ask me, in the thousands of years of Chinese history, the only person who can truly be called an emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang.}
{That is true life and death, without any scruples.}
{Indeed, even Qin Shi Huang had his ministers who would occasionally contradict him.}
{Zhu Yuanzhang could play the game with his ministers according to the rules, but when the situation was not favorable to him, he would not hesitate to turn the table.}
{And he has the strength, and his ministers are unable to resist.}
{Not necessarily. The last person to do this was Emperor Wu of Han.}
……

The period of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty
"nonsense."

Liu Che would never admit that he was carrying out a large-scale collective punishment.

The disaster of witchcraft?

Hasn’t it happened yet?
If it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen!
If there isn't any, then it's just nonsense.

"Speaking of a great battle royale, don't involve me."

……

Datang.

"I think this guy still wants to learn from Zhao Song."

Li Chengqian didn't think that Zhu Yuanzhang was aiming to kill a bunch of old brothers from the beginning.

Li Shimin pondered.

"maybe."

"But he just couldn't learn from the Zhao Song Dynasty."

"He confirmed Hu Weiyong's conspiracy to rebel in order to implicate more officials."

Li Chengqian found it hard to understand.

"Wouldn't this just cause all the officials to panic?"

Li Shimin looked at his eldest son who was still somewhat naive and immature, and sighed:

"What we want is a huge panic among the bureaucracy."

"Death and escape are all under the control of the emperor."

"He has no idea what it means to govern a country."

"His world is static."

"This kind of behavior will only alienate the ministers from the Zhu family."

……

On the canopy.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang strode into the palace with a gloomy face.

Empress Ma came out of the side room, saw that the emperor looked annoyed, and ordered someone to pour tea.

Then he sat down beside the emperor and whispered:

"You look quite unhappy today. Could it be that someone has made you angry again?"

Zhu Yuanzhang took the tea handed to him by the palace maid and slammed the cup on the table after hearing what she said.

He said angrily:
"He is still your good son!"

Queen Ma narrowed her eyes.

Zhu Yuanzhang angrily changed his words:

"Our son is so big! I don't know where he gets all that mercy from!"

"He is the crown prince, we should clear out the tigers and wolves around the throne for him! He actually pleaded for them!"

"Do you think this is infuriating?!"

After saying that, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Pfft! Why is it so hot?!"

"You are going to burn me to death!"

Queen Ma's eyes rolled around and she whispered:

"So you are angry about Biao'er." "But I don't know what stupid thing Biao'er did to make you so angry?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the attendants kneeling on the ground and waved his hand to ask them to stand up.

Hearing this, he snorted coldly.

"Song Lian's family is a member of the Hu Party. Let's arrest them and bring them to Yingtian to await punishment."

"That bastard actually cried and begged for mercy!"

"You really don't understand our painstaking efforts at all!"

"This is just pure confusion!"

Queen Ma sighed deeply and asked
"Zhongba, did Mr. Song really commit a crime worthy of death?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked unprepared.

"Humph, can we wrongly accuse him?"

Seeing that Empress Ma remained silent, he sighed again:
"Why, you want to plead for that old guy too?"

Queen Ma turned her head away, wiped her eyes with her hands, and choked up:

"I dare not, but Chongba, ordinary people hire a teacher for their children and treat them like distinguished guests."

"Eat the best food and remember the kindness of others."

"Mr. Song has been teaching the Crown Prince and the other princes for so many years, and he has done his best. How could you have the heart to kill him?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked impatient, and suppressed his anger and said softly:
"Sister, you know us. We are fighting for the Ming Dynasty!"

"So that Biaoer can keep his seat!"

After all, walk away.

The scene changes.

The sky was dark.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the table, looking at the table full of food and sighing continuously.

"Where is the empress?"

"You're not eating yet?"

The eunuch beside him whispered:
"Go back to the throne, Her Majesty... Her Majesty said she wants to pray for... for Mr. Song."

Old Zhu frowned as he listened.

Finally, he looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Okay, okay..."

"I really owed these two people in my previous life..."

"Go tell the queen that we have spared the life of that old villain!"

"Come and eat."

After saying that, he picked up the chopsticks and put the food into his mouth.

The eunuch trotted into the hall with a happy look on his face.

……

[At that time, Hanlin Academician Song Lian had already been dismissed from office]

[But his second son Song Yan and eldest grandson Song Shen were both implicated in the Hu Weiyong case]

[Song Lian was implicated and escorted to the capital, where he was to be thrown into prison and executed soon.]

[Crown Prince Zhu Biao pleaded for mercy, but was scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang and then denied.]

【Then Zhu Biao came to Queen Ma for help. 】

[Zhu Yuanzhang showed his full respect and love to his first wife. ]

【Zhu Yuanzhang always agreed to everything Empress Ma said.】

【The case of Hu Weiyong was also temporarily suspended.】

[The panic-stricken people of the previous dynasty also temporarily calmed down. 】

……

{The first phase of Hongwu Battle Royale is temporarily suspended.}
{Old Zhu was really difficult to deal with, even Empress Ma had to find a roundabout way to save the country.}
{But on the other hand, it can also be seen that the only one who could stop this matter was Empress Ma, otherwise this matter would not have been pursued ten years later.}

{She is the reincarnated mother of all the ministers in the early Ming Dynasty. She deserves the title!}

{Empress Ma and Zhu Biao are rare people in history who could win the respect of ministers and foreign kings.}
{The Huaixi cadets were all raised by Empress Ma. Zhu Yuanzhang's prestige in the army was not necessarily better than Empress Ma's.}
{Empress Ma was the wife, and the others were concubines. Similarly, Zhu Biao was the son, and the others were princes. This is the difference.}
{The queen is an official title! The daughter-in-law is a status!}

{Mr. Zhu has suffered so much, and Miss Ma is so kind and considerate.}
{With a virtuous wife at home, you won’t panic when things go wrong! This is the romance of the Chinese people, which is why everyone can resonate with this couple so much! }

{Here, what people envy is not the love between the emperor and the empress}
{What I envy is that the poor couples suffered a lot when they were young, but they can still be together and love each other forever when they are rich and powerful.}
