Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 419: Blasted Zhu Yuanzhang, and his mentality collapsed (please subscribe!!)
Lao Zhu, I think you are okay——

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, and he couldn't help but think that this boy was actually praising me!
This made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little happier.

You must know that Zhu Yuanzhang and Ouyang Lun met in Kaiping County, and now they have known each other for eight years!
During these eight years, in the first few years, Zhu Yuanzhang's identity as emperor was not exposed, and Ouyang Lun never said anything good. In the following years, when Zhu Yuanzhang's identity as emperor was exposed, Ouyang Lun still had nothing good to say.

Therefore, Ouyang Lun's praise this time can be said to be extremely valuable!

Of course, he is happy in his heart, and Zhu Yuanzhang will never show it too obviously.

After thinking for a moment, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Do you need to say this?"

"I am the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. From beginning to end, it's okay! It's really great!"

After speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Ouyang Lun again, and said in a gentler tone: "You are not bad, and your ability is among the best among those we have seen."

"Of course, if you can change your lazy personality, you will definitely become a famous official through the ages!"

Slightly——

"You are far worse than Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty. You are dictatorial, harsh in torture, and jealous of talents. When others say something to you, you will always be angry, no matter whether what they say is right or wrong!"

"If I am capable, do I have to give it my all?"

"If you had fully assisted me, this Ming Dynasty would probably have had a prosperous age long ago!"

"A royal censor once gave you some advice. What was that advice? I forgot a little. Oh, I remembered it. He advised you not to enfeoff the kings, but in the end, you asked the Jin Yiwei to put a sack on the person and throw him to death. It was simply Extremely cruel!"

"The KPIs of your life in the prosperous age of Hongwu are not mine!"

"Since you dislike me so much, let's drink!" Ouyang Lun picked up a jar of wine again, opened it and poured it for Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Fuck your mother, can that guy Li Shimin, who killed his brothers and forced his father to usurp the throne, be compared to me??!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

"Don't use the same tactics against me as you used against other ministers. It won't work!"

"You want to lose our nine clans? Your daughter and grandson won't be able to escape!"

"." Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned for a moment, "Your boy's answers always exceed our expectations."

"If you weren't the founding emperor, and if you weren't devoted to the people, you would no longer be the emperor!"

The state of the two people became more and more confused.

"What a famous official throughout the ages. If I really die, what else will I care about my reputation? It is best for people to be happy and comfortable while they are alive!"

"Although you are the king and I am the minister, we are essentially an employer-employee relationship. You pay me a salary and I do things for you. No matter how much you pay me, I will do as much work as you want. Even with the little you give me, I can still do it." If you ask me to do my best, Zhou Papi won’t be able to exploit my employees!”

"Give you some color, you can really run a dyeing workshop!"

"Except for this, which is a black spot, everything else is good. But except for this black spot when you come out, everything else is black!" Ouyang Lun continued.

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious!
"Didn't you say that today is a family banquet? There is no emperor here but only the father-in-law and his son-in-law? Isn't it okay for the son-in-law and the father-in-law to talk like this?"

The movement between the two people once again shocked Queen Ma and others. They originally thought that the two of them were about to reconcile, but they ended up fighting each other again.

Ouyang Lun quit, "Lao Zhu, you said I have a character problem? I also said you have a character problem!!"

Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes, "Are you drawing a pie for me again? I won't eat it if you don't want to!"

"Yes, you should be rewarded if you have merit, but you should be more sensible. You are obviously very capable, but what you do is far from your limit!"

When he heard this, he immediately widened his eyes and said angrily: "That's enough for you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a drink.

Fortunately, the two did not fight, and Queen Ma and others did not come up to pull them apart.

pua?

A few more bowls were eaten.

Zhu Yuanzhang was confused when hearing some special words, but he still roughly understood that Ouyang Lun was trying to challenge him.

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, Ouyang Lun gave him a blank look, "Rejecting PUA starts with me!"

"We want to drink together! Don't you dislike me too!"

The two of them started yelling at each other.

"Ahem, who said you don't want to drink? Come on!" Ouyang Lun didn't expect that Zhu Yuanzhang was still quite sober after drinking so much, so he had to pick up the wine bowl and start drinking with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Ouyang Lun was not timid at all.

Seeing that Ouyang Lun had no intention of drinking, he immediately frowned and said, "You're asking me to drink together, but I'm going to drink alone?"

Zhu Yuanzhang picked up the wine bowl and poured it into his mouth. But halfway through drinking, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped and looked specifically at Ouyang Lun.

Zhu Yuanzhang put his hand on Ouyang Lun's shoulder, shook his head and said: "Ouyang! In fact, we all remember these things you did for us and Ming Dynasty!"

kpi?

"Just drink!"

"Who asked you to talk to me like this? You are not afraid that I will destroy your nine tribes!!"

"I'll praise you once, and I'll give you ten compliments. Your character really hasn't changed at all!"

"No, no, don't keep it in mind, it's best to give me something practical!" Ouyang Lun said.

"Be bold!"

"Then I will kill your whole family! Except you and my grandson, everyone else will be killed!"

"You try to kill one, I, Ouyang Lun, will definitely make you regret it!"

Both of them stared at each other with red eyes.

"Asshole bastard! You really rebelled! I am the emperor, do you know what an emperor is?!" Zhu Yuanzhang continued to roar, "I brought down the entire Ming Dynasty. Do you know why I rebelled in the first place? That's Because they can no longer survive, the officials of the Yuan Dynasty exploited the people to death. If they want to survive, they must do the opposite! "

"I absolutely cannot let the Ming Dynasty follow in the footsteps of the Yuan Dynasty, so I have to deal with those officials severely to prevent them from being corrupt!"

"This is the most direct and most effective way!"

When saying this, a proud smile appeared on Zhu Yuanzhang's face.

Looking at the past dynasties, Zhu Yuanzhang is definitely the only emperor who dared to treat officials like this.

Hearing this, Ouyang Lun rolled his eyes and said, "Tch - this is the only way you can do it!"

"Why are officials corrupt? How did they become corrupt? You don't care at all. You just chop the corrupt officials off. Only you can use this method. If it was the emperor later, the officials would have replaced the emperor long ago!"

"Fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "The entire country belongs to the emperor, and the emperor of Ming Dynasty will never be threatened by officials!"

"Corrupt officials deserve to be killed! If those officials are frightened by killing them, they will naturally not dare to commit corruption!"

"Of course corrupt officials must be killed! But in the dead of night, you never thought that you have been emperor for twenty years and you have killed not one hundred thousand but tens of thousands of corrupt officials. But have corrupt officials been eradicated? Is it possible every year? A lot of corrupt officials have been caught, and there are more and more corrupt officials, and the situation is becoming more and more secretive? "

Ouyang Lun was not used to it at all, and complained directly, "Use violence to fight violence, kill to stop killing. This method is indeed effective, and the effect comes quickly, but it is definitely not a long-term method, and your killing of corrupt officials is even more extreme!"

Ouyang Lun applauded Zhu Yuanzhang's method of killing corrupt officials, but he was still somewhat opposed to Zhu Yuanzhang's approach.

Zhu Yuanzhang's treatment of corrupt officials was completely extreme.

Every killing was done in groups, killing thousands of people at least, tens of thousands, or even tens of thousands of people at most!
Rivers of blood flow every time, and officials are afraid, but truly corrupt officials will only make their corruption more secretive and crazier.

When the Ming Dynasty was first founded, some strong measures could be used to stabilize the political power. However, the Ming Dynasty has been established for twenty years, and the political power can be said to be completely stable, and it still resorts to this method of causing rivers of blood at every turn. This is obviously It is not conducive to the continued development of Ming Dynasty.

Hearing that Ouyang Lun was dissatisfied with his point of view, Zhu Yuanzhang was very unhappy. He pointed at Ouyang Lun's nose and cursed: "You have said all the good things! Don't I want to use some gentle methods? But those officials are cheap. !”

"Huh!?" Ouyang Lun stared at Ouyang Lun with unkind eyes.

"I'm talking about those corrupt officials. Although you, Ouyang Lun, are also a corrupt official in my mind, your corrupt official is a little different from other corrupt officials. In short, I'm not calling you a cheap person!" Zhu Yuanzhang explained: "Those cheap people, If you take one step back, he will take two steps forward, constantly testing your bottom line!”

"Every additional corrupt official will cause great harm to the people. I must use iron and blood to scare them and make them want to be greedy but not dare to be greedy! This Ming Dynasty's surname is Zhu, and it is definitely not greedy!"

"Get rid of the corrupt officials so that the people can work and live in peace, and the world will not be in chaos. I just want Baixin to live a good life!!"

"If corrupt officials are allowed to take over, the lives of the people will be miserable, and my Ming Dynasty will be in danger!"

It is certain that Zhu Yuanzhang's butt is sitting on the side of the people, which means that Zhu Yuanzhang will have extremely strict requirements for officials. They must consider the people wholeheartedly and do not want anything in return. Such officials are the best in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind. official.

Corrupt officials like those like Ouyang Lun are definitely not good officials.

This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang has always been dissatisfied with Ouyang Lun, but Ouyang Lun can make people live a good life, which causes "cracks" in Zhu Yuanzhang's concept.

Is Ouyang Lun a corrupt official?
If according to Zhu Yuanzhang's standards, Ouyang Lun charges entry fees, makes money through various businesses, and openly takes money from various businesses and resells various things, this is a corrupt official!
Normally, a corrupt official will definitely make life difficult for the people.

The result of the fact is that whether in North Zhili or the four southern provinces, Ouyang Lun used his own methods to make the people rich one by one. The people in these two areas had the highest level of happiness in the entire Ming Dynasty.

This reflects the point where Ouyang Lun and other corrupt officials disagree.

It is also for this reason that Zhu Yuanzhang often jumped repeatedly between killing Ouyang Lun and not killing Ouyang Lun.

"How dangerous! Chinese civilization has been passed down for so long, but the masters of this continent have changed one after another. By the time you see the fall of the Ming Dynasty, you will have been dead for hundreds of years!"

"You definitely can't see it. Since you can't see it at all, what are you worried about?"

Ouyang Lun shouted loudly.

"Asshole, what do you know! The Ming Dynasty will be passed down for generations to come!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.

"I think Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin, Liu Bang and Qin Shihuang were as confident as you when they were in power. They felt that their own dynasties could be passed on forever." Ouyang Lun said with a half-smile but not a smile: "Of course, if they can see the fall of their respective dynasties, In this scene, you will definitely find the word 'eternal' very ironic!"

"Forehead"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned pale when he heard Ouyang Lun's words.

"That's complete nonsense!"

"Old Zhu, I really am not talking nonsense!" Ouyang Lun continued: "You killed corrupt officials and made all the officials in the Ming Dynasty frightened. Many officials had to write a will every time they went to court. They were deeply afraid that they would die after going to court. I can’t come back! I’m also worried about being implicated by other officials!”

"And those scholars and scholars are afraid of the strict laws of the imperial court and choose not to obtain fame or join the imperial court as officials. The number of officials is very small. If you continue to kill like this, the officials who will go to the imperial court in the future may not even be able to stand in the Taiji Hall. "

"You want to kill corrupt officials and make decisions for the people. I support this with both hands." Ouyang Lun nodded.

"Killing corrupt officials goes too far, but you ignore the improvement of people's lives. How long can you expect them to be grateful to you?"

"Yes, if you kill corrupt officials, the people will think you are a good emperor."

"I am a good emperor!" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"In the beginning, the people will definitely support you and the Ming Dynasty with all their strength, but..." Ouyang Lun changed his tone, "As time goes by, the people find that the corrupt officials are killing more and more, but their lives have not gotten better at all. It’s even getting worse. Do you think they will continue to support you?”

"This" Zhu Yuanzhang was slightly startled.

"If there are corrupt officials behind the scenes, the people will be on the opposite side of you. By that time, do you think the Ming Dynasty will still belong to the Zhu family?"

Ouyang Lun's words can be said to have hit the depths of Zhu Yuanzhang's soul.

"Who doesn't know how to talk? If you say my method doesn't work, then you have a better method? If you have the ability, say it directly. I want to hear it. Your method is much better than mine! No. Maybe your method, Worse than mine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shouted loudly.

"Of course I have a way, and my way is very simple." Ouyang Lun paused for a moment, forming words in his mind, and then said: "The way is very simple, walk on two legs!"

"Article 1, regarding corrupt officials, we still strictly investigate corrupt officials, and punish every one found. However, beheading is too wasteful. You can send them to various places with difficult conditions to dig coal and mines until they die!"

"Second, for the people, we need to make them live a good life, make them feel that they are rewarded for their efforts, and gradually satisfy the people's desires, but they cannot be 100% satisfied. Let them have continuous goals so that they can If you don't have the mind to think about other things, society will be stable."
