Numb!

Huanghuai people are numb!

He was just using his ancestral system to fight back against the Han prince, trying to prevent him from granting great power to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

After all, Prince Han's move was extremely vicious.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is divided into small groups according to disciplines. In order to obtain rewards, they will only stare at the officials with wide eyes.

Once officials are found to be corrupt, they will be arrested immediately!

If they get rid of a corrupt official, they will get a lot of income!

But how cruel is this to other officials?

Scholars studied hard for decades, finally gained fame, entered official careers, and lived a richer life.

As a result, His Highness the King of Han has turned the officials of the Ministry of Science and Technology into a bunch of mad dogs, staring at the officials all over the world for some small conveniences!

Who in the world can escape fame and fortune?

How many civil and military officials in this dynasty have clean bottoms?

Thinking about it, Huang Huai really didn't know how to answer the question of King Han.

Is it possible to admit that the torture of sixty taels of peeling off the real grass for corruption is harmful to others and ourselves?

Master Huanghuai, I am asking you, is this an ancestral system?

Zhu Gaoxu stared at Huang Huai with an unkind expression, his eyes full of coldness.

There are always some idiots who try to fight against themselves!

What do you mean by not answering? Or do you mean that you, a great bachelor, have secretly embezzled more than sixty taels of stolen money?

As Prince Han shouted loudly, Huang Huai trembled with fright and almost fell off the bench.

Sixty taels!

A mere sixty taels!

You underestimate the status and authority of this cabinet bachelor!

But all the confidence that Huang Huai was once proud of has now turned into endless panic!

Prince Han seems to be coming for real!

Corruption is worth sixty ounces of skinned grass!

According to this ancestral system, Huang Huai will be cut into pieces with at least a thousand cuts, cut into pieces again and again...

The King of Han suddenly attacked Huang Huai, and Yang Rong and other bosses looked very ugly.

After all, Huang Huai was the core figure of the princelings. At that time, he and Xie Jin were the most valued by the emperor. They stood beside the imperial couch as advisors and sometimes even late at night were still discussing important and confidential government affairs in front of the imperial couch.

Now Jie Jin is still suffering from punishment in imperial prison. If Huang Huai is defeated again, who can curb the arrogance of Zhu Gaoxu, the king of Han?

The Crown Prince, Zhu Gaochi, was sitting on the small bench calmly, looking at Huang Huai's ugly behavior with cold eyes. Not only did he not mean to defend him, on the contrary, he felt extremely happy.

Look, this is the loyal and virtuous minister that Zhu Gaochi once respected and trusted!

The punishment of sixty taels of skin and straw for corruption scared him so much that he was sweating profusely and didn't know what to say!

Even a fool can see that this Huanghuai bachelor secretly embezzled an unknown amount of money!

Recalling that Huang Huai once looked like a gentleman in front of him, who opened his mouth to be benevolent, righteous and moral, but kept silent about the sage words of Confucianism, Big Fatty felt disgusted, extremely disgusting!

For a moment, Big Fatty really wished that his second son would resume the torture method of Emperor Taizu Gao and skin Huang Huai directly, and then hang his skin at the door of the government office as a warning to others!

Husky was also watching with cold eyes, but the focus of his attention was not the King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, nor the cabinet scholar Huang Huai, but the Crown Prince Zhu Gaochi!

Ever since the last time the Crown Prince went to the Prince of Han's Mansion to raise an army to investigate, but was kicked out of the Prince of Han's Mansion, His Highness the Crown Prince seemed to have not yet reacted.

The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, is already digging into your foundation. Why can you still live peacefully without taking any countermeasures?

What on earth is this His Highness the Crown Prince thinking about?

Or……

Zhu Gaoxu had been observing the performance of the ministers. When he noticed Husky's eyes, his heart suddenly trembled.

This husky has such a sharp nose!

Is it true that the boss can’t even act?

I'm going to kill your princeling henchman, why don't you speak out to defend me and wait to see him skinned?

Ahem, Prince, what do you think about this?

As a last resort, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly turned his head and looked at Big Fatty.

Zhu Gaochi, who was alone and angry, was stunned for a moment when he asked.

On the contrary, it was his daze that fell into the eyes of the officials, creating the illusion that the King of Han was forcing the prince to express his position.

Your Majesty, I think there is something wrong with Huang Huai. Why don't you arrange for Jin Yiwei to raid his house to check it out?

Seeing that the boss was still confused, Zhu Gaoxu had no choice but to remind him again.

The husky is watching from the side. If you don't speak up to defend me, then the show will not be able to continue.

After hearing this, the expressions of the officials changed greatly.

The person involved, Huang Huai, was so frightened that he collapsed on the stool, his face turning ashen.

If the house is searched and then searched, there is no need to search, you can just skin it...

Fortunately, the big fat man reacted and immediately refuted: King Han, if you really implement the harsh torture of peeling off the skin for sixty taels for corruption, I'm afraid it will cause turmoil in the government and the public, and panic among the people.

Although he didn't say this clearly, everyone present was not a fool and could hear the underlying meaning of the prince's words.

The civil and military officials in this dynasty are not clean at all. If they really commit corruption for sixty taels, they will peel off the skin and make grass. How many officials are left in the Ming Dynasty?

I'm afraid the whole court is empty!

Husky saw that the prince finally took action, and the tough prince defended Huang Huai, and his heart immediately returned to his stomach.

Zhu Gaoxu also laughed, pretending to be surprised and mockingly said: Are you kidding me when you say this? The people in the court are all virtuous ministers and officials who have read the books of sages!

The Huanghuai University Scholar is a double-ranked Jinshi. He has read the books of sages all his life and has been deeply favored by the emperor. He should not be corrupt and accept bribes. For those yellow and white things, he has lost his character as a scholar, right?

Huang Huai opened his mouth to refute, but finally closed his mouth with a gloomy expression.

How could he object?

Even if it wasn't corruption, he still took a lot of money!

It's not easy to live in the capital. Without the money, just relying on the meager salary from the court, his whole family would starve to death!

Yang Rong sighed when he saw this. This always cautious minister chose to protect his friend.

Your Highness, the King of Han, scholars also need to eat and support their families. However, the salary of the imperial court is too low, especially for officials below the fifth rank. It is difficult for them to even support their families!

The imperial salary is already low, and it is distributed at a discounted rate, so the salary received is even more pitiful. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net This small amount of imperial salary really cannot meet the daily expenses of officials!

Yang Rong is worthy of being one of the Three Yangs in the future. He directly attributed the root cause of official corruption to the meager salary of the imperial court.

In other words, Yang Rong is telling Lao Zhu's family that it will be difficult for us to do things if you only give us such a small amount of money!

If you are not corrupt, you can't even support your wife, children, and children. Who would be willing to be an official of your old Zhu family?

Zhu Gaoxu didn't get angry after hearing this. After all, the salary of the Ming Dynasty was notoriously meager.

Emperor Taizu Gao hated corrupt officials the most, so he established this incredibly low salary system. It was so low that it could only ensure that officials would not die of hunger, but it was basically impossible to live happily with this salary.

But it is precisely because of this that officials in the Ming Dynasty had to take bribes and corruption to support their families.

Even Huang Huai, a virtuous minister and official with a long history, secretly received a lot of benefits. One can imagine how ridiculously low the salary was in the Ming Dynasty.

Thinking about it, Zhu Gaoxu asked: Yang Rong, do you mean that the reason why you are corrupt is because my salary in Ming Dynasty is too low?

Yes, Your Highness the King of Han, the meager salary of the imperial court is unprecedented in all dynasties...

The words stopped abruptly before he finished speaking.

Yang Rong froze on the spot, cold sweat overflowing from his forehead.

What did you just... say?

It’s impossible to guard against it!

King of Han Zhu Gaoxu, you are such a thief!

Haha, have you finally admitted to corruption?

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the ministers with a smile, showing no mercy.

You are all virtuous ministers and officials of our Ming Dynasty, but secretly you are as corrupt as Huang Huai. What are you talking about?

Have you read the books of sages all your life and ended up in the stomachs of dogs?

Husky: “???”
