King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 165: Shatter their self-confidence and become submissive

numb!

Totally Muggle!

No one had ever dreamed that Zhu Gaoxu would do this!

According to the salary standards of the Taizu period, this amount of salary is only given to these people, and it takes half a year to do it.

If this was really going to happen, wouldn't their entire family have to eat chaffy vegetables?

Can't get through this day?

For this reason, they were also worried that they would be corrupt and disorderly, and they also asked Jin Yiwei to monitor them and ransack their homes if there was any abnormality.

There is simply no way for people like them to survive.

That's not the most cruel thing.

What is even more ruthless is to make these people who are passively reduced in salary and make them into people who serve the country and the people, show compassion for the Holy Grace, and solve the urgent needs of the court, and widely publicize their glorious deeds.

At the same time, he called on all officials in the Ming Dynasty to learn from them and follow their examples.

Whether it was salary reductions or surveillance by Jin Yiwei before, they were just targeting people like them.

But this call for everyone to learn from them was still an imperial edict issued by the emperor.

If we really want to do this, what should other officials in Ming Dynasty think of these people? How should they treat them?

It was not easy to raise the salary when Zhu Di ascended the throne, but it suddenly returned to before liberation.

I'm afraid that when the time comes, these individuals will inevitably become street rats among the entire Ming Dynasty officials, and become existences that everyone shouts about, and the roaring spit will inevitably drown them all.

I'm afraid everyone is eager to eat their flesh, drink their blood, and crush them to ashes.

Not only that, but they will be transferred to other departments later.

Those officials who had their salaries reduced because they were implicated were afraid that they could not wait to kill them all by using dirty tricks behind their backs.

In this way, how can people like them still mix in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty?

Thinking of this, everyone shuddered, their faces were full of fear, their bodies couldn't stop shaking, and they were stunned on the spot.

Song Li saw that the situation was wrong and knew what the consequences would be if he really did this. He quickly stepped forward to persuade him with an extremely anxious look and said:

"Your Majesty. Your Majesty"

"Your Majesty has a lot of them, please spare them this time!"

"I promise that no one will dare to have any objection to the salary of the weapons workshop craftsmen."

"You can't do this or do this, someone will die."

"It is bound to cause turmoil in the current situation."

"It's very involved!"

After hearing this, a hint of coldness appeared on the slightly raised corners of Zhu Gaoxu's mouth. He looked around at everyone coldly with half-closed eyes and said in a deep voice:

"Shang Shu, this statement is serious."

"Why is it that it is so involved and the current situation is turbulent?"

"This king is only reducing their salary for them, not for others."

"Other officials only encourage others to follow suit, but they don't force it. It's all voluntary."

"Even if there are officials who are forced to do this, who do you think those people would be hating in their hearts?"

"The imperial court? Or the self-proclaimed adults like the Ministry of Industry?"

"Hahaha……"

Everyone: "!!!!!"

You still know your feelings!

You knew it would cause such a situation, but you still did it.

All the officials from the Ministry of Works almost couldn't hold back their curses if they hadn't taken Zhu Gaoxu's identity into consideration.

However, he didn't curse with his mouth, but in his heart he directly greeted the eighteenth generation of Zhu Gaoxu's ancestors cordially. Even Zhu Di didn't fall behind, he pulled them all out and whipped them.

With such an answer, Song Li's face turned slightly pale, and with a solemn expression he shouted at the stunned Ministry of Industry officials in front of him:

"Bastard thing..."

"What are you guys doing standing still?" "Why don't you quickly admit your mistake to the prince and ask for his forgiveness?"

"Do you really want to reduce your salary and become a 'role model'?"

what?

As soon as these words came out, everyone reacted instantly and subconsciously exclaimed, although they felt very uncomfortable in their hearts, otherwise they thought they had done something wrong.

But people are under the eaves and have to give up.

As for this matter, whether Zhu Gaoxu can really obtain the imperial edict or make it public.

In fact, they are not fools about this issue. They have also thought about it and doubted it.

But thinking about the current status of the King of Han, he is not just a prince, but a person who holds the power to supervise the country!

To outsiders, it is obvious that he is deeply trusted and valued by His Majesty.

They don't dare to bet on whether it will work out in the end!

If the bet wins, they will also have to have their salaries reduced. If the bet loses, they will be unable to bear the consequences.

Thinking about it, everyone involuntarily knelt down and said with a slight tremor in their voices:

"Your Majesty."

"I know I was wrong."

"I beg your lord to forgive me. I beg your lord to forgive me."

"After that, our salary for the craftsmen in the weapons workshop will have no meaning."

"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy."

Seeing the people kneeling on the ground, Zhu Gaoxu half-squinted his eyes and said with a smile:

"What's wrong with you?"

"Weren't you always upright and caring about the country and the people?"

"Why is this happening?"

Having said this, he paused, as if he thought of something, grinned and looked at everyone meaningfully, and said with a half-smile:

"If you want my king's forgiveness, it's not impossible to expose this matter right now!"

"It just so happens that His Majesty is currently preparing for the Northern Expedition. You are all ministers of the imperial court. Nowadays, the military equipment is quite different."

"I also give you an opportunity to express yourself and do your part for the court."

"You will follow the craftsmen in the weapon shop and work with them for half a month. You can do what the craftsmen do and have a good feel for it."

"How about it? Do you have any objections?"

"Of course, if you have any objections, I will not force you to do so."

Say it.

He didn't say another word, quietly waiting for them to make their choice.

Good guy!

Everyone called him a good guy!

Let them do the work that craftsmen do?

Isn't this a clear attempt to humiliate them?

They are dignified officials of the Ming Dynasty, and they are all scholars who have read poetry and books.

If you really do what a lowly person does, if word spreads about it, you will probably be laughed out of your mouth and be spurned and looked down upon by all the scholars.

For a moment, everyone looked embarrassed, and their faces were as red as pig liver.

Seeing this, Song Li pretended to plead for these officials again, but turned to face Zhu Gaoxu's cold eyes, swallowed the words that had reached his lips, and stood silently with his head lowered. On the side, I dare not say any more.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the people who fell into silence, and shouted angrily with a gloomy old face:

"answer me!"

"Which path to choose?"

"I don't have time to spend time with you here."

After a short silence, although everyone was unwilling to do so, they had to hold their noses and bear the secret loss, and replied bravely:

"Go back to your lord."

"We will choose to work in the weapons workshop."
