Ming Dynasty: Every day, Zhu Yuanzhang is in trouble

In the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.

He whipped Zhu Liangzu with the whip in his hand again and again.

The one who smokes is gritting his teeth, the one who smokes is having red eyes!

Zhu Liangzu was completely confused at this time.

He really didn't expect that things would be so different from what he imagined!

This guy Zhu Yuanzhang actually dared to kill himself.

This is completely different from what I thought before.

According to what I had thought before, at this point, no matter what, Zhu Yuanzhang would not be able to do anything to me.

At most, it would just be a scolding, making you lose some face and pay some price.

That's it.

But who could have imagined that Zhu Yuanzhang would actually kill him in public.

This kind of thing really confused him!

While I was confused, I also felt extremely regretful.

I regret why I did such a thing!

Why didn't we follow Zhu Yuanzhang's requirements, abide by the law, and do our job well?

Why do you want to get so close to those people?

To be honest, my current status is really not low.

Nothing is missing.

If you just follow the routine, your life will be great.

It's definitely possible at home.

But I just have to do those things. It really shows that human greed is real!
At this moment, being beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang, the intense pain stimulated his senses. At this moment, he knew he regretted it.

I know I was wrong before!
I realize how wrong some of my previous actions were.

But, it's too late!
While feeling regretful, he was also very angry towards Zhu Yuanzhang as the emperor.

I think Zhu Yuanzhang, this dog emperor, is really too much!
Relying on the contributions he has made, the things he has done are really not excessive at all.

Zhu Yuanzhang, this bastard, actually went to war with me because of this.

I want to kill myself!
Didn’t I just make a small mistake?

Didn’t he just kill some people over there?
Those were just some humble people.

If they die, they die. It’s not a big deal!
But in the end, this bastard Zhu Yuanzhang actually went to war with him and killed him!

This is really too much!

Just thinking about it makes people feel extremely annoyed, and they wish someone could kill this bastard Zhu Yuanzhang!
This guy is really cold-hearted and has no regard for old friendships!

Relying on the merits he has made and the things he has done, no matter what, he does not deserve the death penalty!

But he wanted to beat both himself and his son to death!

Zhu Yuanzhang was a bastard. He was mean and ungrateful, and had no regard for old friendships. The Ming Dynasty he established would definitely not last long.

This guy Zhu Yuanzhang will not die a good death!
He kept cursing Zhu Yuanzhang in his heart.

But Zhu Yuanzhang ignored all this and didn't know what Zhu Liangzu was thinking.

Even if I knew, I wouldn't think too much about it at this time.

It will only make his men whip harder.

In his opinion, the things that Zhu Liangzu did were worthy of being cut into pieces or skinned alive!
He did not subject him to these extreme punishments, but at this time, he was whipped in front of all the court officials.

It can be said that this has given him a huge face.

This guy can't be so ungrateful.

Thinking this, his men continued to whip him.

After only a dozen or so lashes, the clothes on Zhu Liangzu's back were already torn.

His skin was torn and blood was gushing out!

At the beginning, Zhu Liangzu was able to keep a tense expression and endure the pain without making a sound.

But as Zhu Yuanzhang whipped him again and again, he could no longer bear it.

His whole body was trembling, and blood was flowing down his beaten back.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not feel the slightest bit uncomfortable with this miserable scene and continued to pump hard.

There is no intention of being lenient.

Zhu Yuanzhang was only annoyed with Zhu Liangzu.

Old Zhu is a man who can be very soft-hearted when he is in a good mood, but once someone does something to irritate him, his heart can become extremely hard!

No matter what that person said or did, he remained indifferent.

Able to harden one's heart and kill!

At this time, every time Zhu Yuanzhang whipped him, Zhu Liangzu couldn't help but scream.

Flesh and blood flying everywhere!
Looks very miserable.

Many court officials nearby were terrified at this time.

Some people couldn't even bear to look, and lowered their eyes or turned their heads to the side.

Some people were so frightened that their legs were shaking.

Want to escape!

It's so scary here!

It's really scary!

Similarly, many people have made up their minds.

That is, in the future, we must learn from this incident and abide by the law!
You must never do these things again!

Didn’t you see that even Zhu Liangzu, a founding marquis, could be killed by the emperor in the Golden Palace in front of all the civil and military officials after he committed a crime?

When Zhu Yuanzhang had whipped Zhu Liangzu forty or fifty times, his voice had become very weak.

Zhu Xian, who was behind, kept crying and begging Zhu Yuanzhang to stop beating him.

He said he was willing to take the punishment in place of his father.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored Zhu Xian's request and continued beating Zhu Liangzu.

Smoking and cursing at the same time.

By the time he had been whipped about a hundred times, Zhu Liangzu was no longer able to look at his face and had already died.

But Lao Zhu continued to pull.

When there were only a hundred lashes left, Lao Zhu was tired.

Let the strong man take over the execution and complete the remaining 100 lashes.

At this time, the Golden Palace was covered in blood and flesh, and even many court officials' robes were stained with blood from whips.

After Lao Zhu calmed down for a while, he took the whip and walked to Zhu Xian.

At this time, Zhu Xian had already been frightened silly.

Passed out.

Zhu Yuanzhang ignored all this and whipped him hard.

In just one moment, the unconscious Zhu Xian was awakened.

It can be said that this is a great medical miracle.

Compared with Zhu Liangzu, Zhu Xian is far inferior.

Zhu Yuanzhang whipped the place with his whip, and soon screams like pigs being slaughtered were heard.

He burst into tears and kept crying for mercy.

But it is of no use.

Old Zhu continued to whip him hard with the whip.

There is no intention of being lenient.

Soon, Zhu Xian also died under Old Zhu's whip.

Zhu Liangzu and his son Zhu Xian were both whipped to death by Old Zhu in the Golden Palace.

Mei Yin felt relieved when he saw this scene. He also felt that Lao Zhu was worthy of being Lao Zhu, and his methods were tough.

In other dynasties, it is rare to see such a thing happen to the founding emperor...

Mei Yin couldn't help but feel emotional.

When it comes to punishing corrupt officials and taking tough measures against illegal activities, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be the best emperor in all dynasties!

But even so, corruption cannot be stopped.

There will still be many people who will continue to do this.

All I can say is that some things are really ingrained in our bones. They are human nature and are difficult to curb.

However, many things are not something that should not be done just because they are difficult to contain.

It is definitely not a good idea to just give up and give up if the disease cannot be cured.

After all, every step forward counts.

After reaching a certain level, it is already very difficult to maintain this state.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just talk about the corruption in the Ming Dynasty.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang used such strong means as skinning and stuffing straw to suppress the rebellion.

Relatively speaking, it is very good.

Although it has been banned repeatedly, and although Lao Zhu has raised many questions and killed many people for this.

But overall, it's still very good.

It can be said that this was the most honest time in the entire Ming Dynasty.

After Zhu Yuanzhang died, other emperors came to power.

The trend of corruption is really getting worse and worse!

It's just beyond words.

For example, by the middle of the Ming Dynasty, various things had already become routine.

He is a man of many kinds and has everything.

Even the emperor would find it very strange if he found out that there was an official who was not greedy.

From top to bottom, everyone is greedy.

The end result was that the local gentry, numerous literati, even the eunuchs in the palace, and local generals all had money in their hands.

But it happens that the emperor is the poorest and the people are the poorest!
In the royal warehouse, even rats that entered would be so angry that they would leave cursing.

The result of this is a weak country and poor people.

Soldiers often had no food or pay all year round, and then there were disaster victims everywhere and the people revolted.

As a result, the defeated Tartars took over the country.

Therefore, Lao Zhu’s current approach is still very necessary.

We must take severe measures against corrupt officials and maintain strong pressure.

Otherwise, those people will definitely go further and further!
Thinking of this, Mei Yin looked at the others.

At this moment, all the officials in the Golden Palace were silent.

Just by looking at the appearance of these people, Mei Yin knew that the effect of Lao Zhu's actions this time was still very good.

It definitely left a very deep impression on these people.

But I don’t know how long this extremely deep impression can shock people.

However, now that I have made a last-ditch effort to persuade Zhu to raise the officials' salaries through performance-based measures.

In addition, we combine this with the iron-blooded approach of Lao Zhu.

Then there will definitely be more honest officials than before.

After all, at that time, Zhu Yuanzhang did pay low salaries to officials.

The high-ranking officials are still okay, but the salaries of low-ranking officials are really not enough.

Under such circumstances, many people will definitely not be able to help but reach out.

But now, the salary has been significantly increased.

Under such circumstances, many people will definitely stop.
There will be no more corruption.

High salaries do not necessarily lead to integrity, but high salaries are combined with extremely powerful means to combat corruption.

It will definitely make many people honest.

At least when they reach out, they don't dare to be so blatant.

"Drag these two bastards out!
Expose their crimes to the public!

From now on, I will write it in the Records of Traitors to serve as a warning to everyone!"

Zhu Yuanzhang threw away the whip that was completely soaked in blood, panting, and gave an order.

There was uncontrollable anger in his voice.

Someone took the order and went...

After the bodies of Zhu Liangzu and his son Zhu Xian were thrown out, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the many court officials and nobles present and said:
"Don't take our advice to you as a fart!
Don't listen to anything!

Don’t think that we can’t control you because the emperor is far away!

Don’t think about your high position and great contributions!
We have already told you clearly that merits are merits and faults are faults!
Merits and demerits cannot offset each other!

Don't take things too far!

No one can tolerate going too far!

If any of you feel unconvinced and don’t believe in evil, you can give it a try!
Let’s see whether your brains are harder or my knives are sharper!
Do you have more family members, or do we have more people beheaded?
If you really don't accept it, you can rebel against us!

It's just a good opportunity for me to see how powerful it is.

Let’s see if we can calm down all the trouble you guys have caused!

Remember, we are not kidding you!

Behave yourself and stop harming the people!
Don't let corruption run rampant. We won't allow such things!"

There was a chill in Zhu Yuanzhang's voice.

Many people who heard it were shocked.

In the eyes of many ordinary people, these people are like gods, but at this moment, they all lowered their heads in front of Zhu Yuanzhang like quails.

You can be as honest as you want. You don't even dare to fart!

"Did you hear that?!"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly raised his tone and scolded out loud.

After this shout was uttered, many people were shocked all of a sudden.

There were even a few officials who were so frightened by Zhu Yuanzhang's scolding that their legs went weak and they fell to the ground.

"I will remember this!"

"I will remember this!"

After being scolded by Zhu Yuanzhang, many people stopped remaining silent and quickly spoke up to respond.

Zhu Yuanzhang then withdrew his gaze, walked back to the dragon throne and sat down.

"In that case, let's go our separate ways and do our own things.

We’ll see you in the future!
Don’t let me chop any of you on the head with a knife again!
I am not a bloodthirsty person!

Don't mess with us!"

After hearing what Zhu Yuanzhang said, many people couldn't help but complain wildly in their hearts.

What do you mean, you are not a bloodthirsty person?

With all the things you have done, who the hell would believe you if you said you were not bloodthirsty?
……

When Zhu Liang's grandfather and son were whipped to death by Zhu Yuanzhang, there was already panic in Guangdong.

Prince of Yan, Zhu Di, has already arrested a large number of people.

Moreover, many of them were simply cut down without being reported to the higher authorities.

The reason for this is, on the one hand, because Zhu Di was a prince, and when he came, Zhu Di directly delegated a lot of power to him.

Allow him to act at his own convenience and handle all affairs here with full authority.

Of course, there is another important reason besides this, which is that some people actually rebelled!
Openly attack the government office and kill the king!
Under such circumstances, Zhu Di would naturally not be polite to them!
Investigating a case requires evidence, but rebellion does not require any evidence. All you need is a list!
Even, you only need to doubt! (End of this chapter)
