Daming Super Dimension Company, President Zhu Yuanzhang!

Chapter 35 Zhu Yuanzhang’s cruel methods!

"He actually took advantage of his personal anger and demanded the death of Yu Qian, Fan Guang and other important ministers who insisted on resisting foreign aggression, and demoted nine people including Ge Shizhong Chengzhang and Yushi Ganze who had given him opinions."

Zhu Yuanzhang did not expect that Shi Heng was also one of the people who wanted to kill Yu Qian, and Zhu Yuanzhang did not hide his murderous intention towards Shi Heng at all.

"Not only that, but they also launched unjust imprisonments, framed Geng Jiuchou and Yue Zheng in prison, and drove Yang Xuan and Zhang Peng to the border."

"Replaced all the civil governors of the imperial court with military officers. He monopolized all power and interfered in the affairs of the state as he pleased. He went to see the emperor every day, even if he was not summoned, he would come to the palace with excuses. If he did not follow what he said, he would suddenly change his mind. .After leaving the palace, he made a big splash and advocated his authority."

Hearing that Zhu Qizhen indulged Shi Heng in such a way, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more disappointed with Zhu Qizhen.

"Shi Heng once reported to Zhu Qizhen that he wanted the court to erect a monument for his ancestor's tomb. The Ministry of Industry asked Shi Heng to ask the imperial committee to build it and the Hanlin Academy to write the inscription. Zhu Qizhen believed that since the Yongle year of his founding, the imperial court had not erected a monument for the ancestors of the heroes. Set a precedent and let it stand on its own.”

"Before, Zhu Qizhen ordered Yousi to build a palace for Shi Heng. Its magnificence exceeded the rules."

"Shi Heng's nephew Shi Biao was granted the title of Marquis of Dingyuan, and his arrogance was as arrogant as Shi Heng's. Their uncle and nephew's family had tens of thousands of talented officials and warriors. Half of the generals inside and outside the court were members of the Shi family. Everyone in the capital looked at each other sideways."

Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he laughed, "Okay! Shi Heng, we read that right, you are really good at it!"

Shi Heng was frightened now, feeling scared and helpless.

"In the third year of Tianshun, Shi Heng was implicated in his nephew's crimes of treason and insulting the prince. He stopped attending the court, reduced his officials to the people, and punished Shi Heng's cronies and dismissed them all."

"In the fourth year of Tianshun, Lu Gao, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, reported to Shi Heng that he had ulterior motives. He and his grandnephew Shi Hou sought power and acted unscrupulously. They also made rumors with the sorcerer Zou Shuyi and others, cultivated scoundrels, and waited for opportunities to observe the movements of the court and plot evil."

"The important officials in the imperial court hated Shi Heng's dictatorship and said that he should not be leniently spared. Zhu Qizhen issued an edict to order Shi Heng to be imprisoned and beheaded for treason, and his family assets were confiscated."

"In February, Shi Heng died of illness in prison, and both Shi Biao and Shi Hou were beheaded."

After Xiao Ran finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "That's almost the end!"

"Yu Qian has been kind to you, but you are worse than a beast, but you want to kill him. You are really worse than a pig or a dog." The more Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Shi Heng, the more he disliked him, "You are so greedy that you will not regret death!"

"Jinyiwei! Shi Heng cut into pieces with a thousand swords and killed the nine tribes!"

Shi Heng's various crimes add up to a lot.

"Taizu, you are wronged!" Shi Heng shouted loudly: "I didn't do these things!"

"It's just a matter of time. You are just gaining power for a moment, and your virtue is not worthy of it!" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to talk nonsense, "Take him down!"

Jin Yiwei dragged Shi Heng down directly.

Yu Qian then stood up and said: "Taizu, I am so brave. I don't know who this gentleman is and how credible his words are!"

At this time, only people like Yu Qian dared to stand up and question Xiao Ran and Zhu Yuanzhang, the decisive Hongwu Emperor.

"Xiao Ran was born six hundred years later. What he said is credible. There is no doubt about it!" Facing Yu Qian, Zhu Yuanzhang's attitude was pretty good.

"Taizu, but Shi Heng is now a great hero of the Ming Dynasty. How unfair it is to him!" Yu Qian felt that Shi Heng didn't do what Xiao Ran said happened next, but he was killed by Qian Dao because of something that didn't happen. Thousands of corpses.

"If we didn't come, these things would definitely happen. We just stopped these things in advance."

Zhu Yuanzhang said this, and Yu Qian said nothing more.

Zhu Yuanzhang was a god-like existence in the Ming Dynasty. "Some of you may not be convinced, but I don't care whether you are convinced or not!" Zhu Yuanzhang showed his domineering attitude, "We just want to nip some things in the cradle in advance."

"As the saying goes, a country is easy to change but nature is hard to change. Some people cannot be changed." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Yu Qian.

"Yu Qian, let me ask you, if Zhu Jianji dies of illness, Zhu Qiyu is seriously ill and cannot be cured, and someone wants to support Zhu Qizhen on the throne, what will you do?"

Yu Qian thought for a while and then said: "Go back to Taizu, I don't do anything, just let nature take its course!"

"This happened four years later. You really didn't do anything, but Zhu Qizhen killed you after his restoration, and all the important officials of the Jingtai Dynasty were liquidated."

Zhu Yuanzhang continued: "The Ming Dynasty, which finally had some improvement, has once again become a mess. The culprit of all this is the inaction of this bastard Zhu Qizhen and his indulgence of people like Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng. For the sake of the people of the Ming Dynasty four years later, We just want to kill these rebellious officials and traitors in advance."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xiao Ran and said, "Is there anyone else who is going to seize the door?"

Xiao Ran opened the Ming Dynasty Record, which made many people feel scared, afraid that Xiao Ran would call their name.

"Cao Jixiang is here!"

A eunuch next to him rolled over and knelt in the center of Fengtian Hall, "My servant is here."

Cao Jixiang's voice was trembling.

"Is this kind of person also the mastermind?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked down on people like Cao Jixiang from the bottom of his heart.

"Without him inside the palace, this matter would be difficult to handle." Xiao Ran said.

"Taizu, this servant didn't do anything!" Cao Jixiang kowtowed vigorously.

Xiao Ran took the Ming Dynasty Record and began to say:
"Cao Jixiang was awarded a large amount of farmland because of his contribution in planning and participating in the restoration of Nangong, and he also assisted in the military affairs of the Beijing camp."

"His heir, Cao Qin, was promoted to the governor, Tongzhi, and later granted the title of Zhaowu Bo. Cao Jixiang's nephews, Cao Xuan, Cao Duo, Cao, etc., were appointed as hereditary commanders of the Jinyi Guards, and were gradually promoted to governors."

"There are hundreds or even thousands of his followers who pretended to be officials. Some officials in the DPRK also attached themselves to Cao Jixiang, hoping to get promoted."

"Cao Jixiang was quite powerful at this time, and he and Zhongguo Gong Shi Heng were both called 'Cao Shi'."

"Huh! It's really not a good thing. He is just like Shi Heng!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.

"Cao Jixiang is not good at writing, so he strongly advocates that all major matters must go through the cabinet, hoping to win over cabinet members to support him."

"Cao Jixiang is very greedy. When recommending civil and military officials, he often only looks at the amount of bribes given to him, regardless of whether the person is qualified."

"Zhu Qizhen also saw this to some extent, but because Cao Jixiang contributed to his restoration, he did not directly reprimand him. He only secretly ordered the ministers to suppress him a little. This contributed to the conflict between the cabinet and Cao Jixiang, and Cao Jixiang's The cabinet is very dissatisfied.”

"Zhu Qizhen, you are a pig, aren't you! You indulge in such a bastard!" Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely disappointed with Zhu Qizhen.

Forget it if you don't know, knowing that Zhu Yuanzhang can't bear it.

Not to mention Zhu Yuanzhang, even future generations like Xiao Ran can't understand it.
