If you resist, it will only get worse.

After everyone was dragged away, Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "I think they will all be grateful for Da Sun's kindness."

This kind of treatment was pitifully rare in the imperial court during the Hongwu period. Before that, some officials were likely to be beheaded if they were late when His Majesty was in a bad mood.

One morning in the 20th year of Hongwu's reign, a minister of the third rank lost his head.

There are rumors in the government and the public that if His Majesty cannot look down upon you, he will most likely be executed because he stepped into the Fengtian Palace with his right foot first when he went to court.

Hearing the old man's words, Zhu Ying smiled and did not answer.

The reason why officials have such a disparity mentality has a lot to do with the old man's repressive policy.

But Zhu Ying didn't like killing people, especially literati.

In Zhu Ying's view, the population of the Ming Dynasty is still relatively small, and the literati must make the best use of everything. For example, when the time comes, some literati can also be hired to teach the labor convicts.

Zhu Ying still feels that he can forgive those who have made mistakes and reformed.

Moreover, these days, many people who commit crimes do so out of necessity. In the final analysis, it is all about living.

If you can have enough food and clothing, there won't be so many crimes.

"We have already made preparations for the grandson's dinner. A good son is like a father. Not many of our sons can worry about it, but they are quite capable in the field of fighting."

Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly laughed and said: "These sons of ours must be thinking at this moment whether the eldest grandson wants to take away all their military power and let him become a rich prince."

Hearing this, Zhu Ying also laughed and said: "Of course I think so, but it's also a good idea. At least my grandson is relatively easier to accept after he proposed the establishment of a vassal overseas."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I'm afraid that they will be even more happy when they hear what the great sun thinks. They thought they were losing military power, but they didn't expect that the great sun would directly give them the monarchy. However, if the great sun behaves like this, they are not afraid of suffering.

Those ordinary people’s infamy?”
