"This case is no longer just a case of King Zhou!"

Zhu Yunxiu looked at the ministers and spoke coldly, "It's been a group of cases now. If I do a family matter, I can favor the King of Zhou. But for the sake of the world, can I tolerate these corrupt officials and these evil businessmen?"

"You think the punishment of the Great Edict is too harsh, but aren't they harsh invading the people's fields? Isn't it harsh to resell inferior official grain? Shouldn't it be harsh to sell private tea?"

"If the people have no land, they have to sell themselves as slaves. The last thing they have to do is the mouth of the soldiers on the border. Isn't it vicious to feed the people who farmed in the Ming Dynasty and to eat sand and gravel-carried food for the soldiers who guarded the territory of the Ming Dynasty?

"I would rather you scold me for being cruel in your heart than the people in the world, and you would call me a foolish monarch in your heart!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu looked at everyone again, and his tone suddenly became peaceful and emotional. "The Censorate of the Dali Temple of the Ministry of Justice followed the clues and investigated, and the Jinyiwei arrested me." As he said that, he paused, "Li Jinglong, the Duke of Cao, supervised the department as the co-organizer of the minister, to prevent anyone from doing anything ineffectively!"

"I'm fucking..."

Li Jinglong wanted to die, but he had to bite the bullet and said, "Don't worry, the ministers of these major cases have been burned in the five internal cases. They are the emperor's holy name, the country of the Ming Dynasty, and the magnificent court. I will strictly supervise you not to be confused and favoritism!"

"I can trust you!" Zhu Yunxiu said lightly.

Suddenly, someone among the ministers spoke in a tough manner, "Does the emperor trust me but wait?"

Zhu Yunxi looked in the voice and supervised the censor Xin Yande.

~~

Xin Yande didn't even look at the anxious eyes of the Minister of Justice Xia Shu, and said with his neck raised, "A few days ago, the emperor promised the Dali Temple Censorate of the Ministry of Justice to conduct a joint trial, and now he asked the Jinyiwei to be arrested and tried without the jurisdiction. Isn't this a change of orders and going back on his word?"

"The Emperor also said that the Ming Dynasty had national laws, and righteousness would defeat evil. Why did he issue an imperial edict to use torture in prison? The Emperor focused on using hawks and dogs such as the Jinyiwei, and where did we consider our ministers?"

"Emperor!" Yang Jing, the chief censor of Dali Temple, said anxiously, "Although Censor Xin spoke wildly, he has always been upright and honest. What he said is also a loyal and loyal person. Please do not blame him..."

Zhu Yunxi stretched out his hand and waved it to a faint moment, and Yang Jing's words immediately ended.

"You!" Zhu Yunxi looked at Xin Yande, "You continue to talk!"

Xin Yande looked at Zhu Yunxi directly, "Emperor, I think the case of King Zhou involves so many things. The most urgent task is to find out one by one. Don't wrongly a good person, but you can't let a bad person go."

"Before the truth of the case was revealed, the emperor granted the Jinyiwei great authority. Are you not afraid of being too much or too little?"

"Besides, I am not afraid of saying things that have lost my head. The Hongwu Dynasty has caused several major cases to be empty, and there are strange things that officials wear shackles to work. Will the Emperor want the Hongwu Dynasty to happen again?"

"The Supreme Emperor Hongwu also said that he was in the world when all the wastes were prosperous. The harsh government problems of the previous dynasty were still there, and he had to use severe punishments and laws. But today, although the case he was in is shocking, it was only a corner of the country, not the norm."

"The emperor directly used the punishment of the imperial edict... I think it is inappropriate!"

The hall was silent, and Zhu Yunxiu listened to his words and looked out the window.

After the heavy snow, everything was white, and there were only a few pavilions and towers, with some of the original colors still remaining.

"I understand what you mean!" Zhu Yunxiu looked outside and said, "You mean, the world is not rotten yet, so you can't take heavy measures, right?" As he said, he turned his head and smiled, "Is it hard to take medicine when I am seriously ill? But can a serious illness be saved by a medicine stone? When the world is rotten, I will remember to kill people, and it will be too late!"

Objectively speaking, what Xin Yande said is not without reason.

As the emperor of the empire, the emperor who controls billions of creatures cannot abuse severe punishments and laws. But his principles are limited to this era.

The Ming Dynasty in original time and space is a living example. The old man killed all his life and fought out the Qingping administration in the fifty years before the Ming Dynasty. However, since the Emperor Xuanzong, not to mention the Tumubao Incident, since then, it has become clear that the emperor's benevolence and other words that cannot abuse severe punishment and law, which has led to the rampant greed.

From top to bottom, the empire's chief minister went to the countryside inspection, the eunuchs in the palace to the generals in the army.

Officials and businessmen colluded with royal families and were rampant, and everything was ashamed of strict profit, while party struggles and internal struggles were all for profit.

The huge empire was eroded by the worms.

Zhu Yunxiu even had to deal with his uncles. He was not afraid of being criticized for this. How could he let the corruption that the old man finally killed him rekindled?

"Your Majesty, he doesn't mean that!" Xia Shu, the Minister of Justice, said with a cold sweat on his head, "I think... I think that if I entrust the imperial edict to use severe punishment, I'm afraid it will hurt the emperor's name of benevolent monarch!"

Let me?

Zhu Yunxiu sneered in his heart, "Maybe I played it so well before, which gave you the illusion of thinking that I want to be a benevolent king."

After a pause, Zhu Yunxiu said slowly, "Renjun? What is the measure of the benevolence you call? Is it the true love of the people, or the flattery of the officials?"

As he said that, he sneered, "If the people say that I am a benevolent monarch, I will not ask for it. On the other hand, I... disdain it!"

"There are so-called benevolent monarchs throughout the ages. When officials were alive, they tried hard to put high hats on them. After their death, the historians praised them. But what life did the people under his rule live? Are they really kind?"

"If you are good to officials, it is Ren, then this Ren is too cheap, right? Isn't such Ren is hypocritical? Isn't it just that the superiors turn a blind eye and don't pursue any incidents and let go of it gently. Isn't it just that as long as no one rebelled, he dares to say that it is a peaceful and prosperous era?"

"I have never thought of being a so-called example by officials and preached before the emperors of later generations!"

"In that case, I will be sorry to the Supreme Emperor for abdicating the throne, the descendants of the future generations, and even more so to the people of the world!"

"If I am not a benevolent monarch, I can be obeyed in every place in the world, without any chaotic things, less corruption and exploitation of the people, less unjust, false and wrong cases, less bullying others for evil, less displaced complaints."

"Then I would rather not be a benevolent lord, and I can be the tyrant you call me!"

"I would rather be scolded by the Shi family, by officials, and by ministers than by the people!"

"Since you are ministers of the Ming Dynasty, you should know that from the Supreme Emperor to me, our Zhu family grandson, is this temper!"

There was a silence in the hall, and the ministers could no longer sit still.

Bangbang, only Xin Yande's kowtow sound.

"I am still not convinced by the emperor's words!" Xin Yande said, "Because the emperor's words are generalized by partiality, the emperor cannot govern the country by his will."

"I don't have to accept you, I just need to do what you do!" Zhu Yunsheng sneered.

"Even if I do, I will be dissatisfied. The emperor can punish me for my crime!"

Zhu Yunxiu smiled angrily, but his eyes softened when he looked at Xin Yande, "I will not be guilty of remarks." As he said, he suddenly smiled, "There is a daily official of the Hanlin Academy outside the door. What I said today must be recorded in the record without saying a word. Is it because I am biased or excessive? There will be a conclusion in a hundred years!"

As he said that, Zhu Yunxiu took a sip of tea, "This case is what I said!"

"I will obey the order!" Li Jinglong and He Guangyi spoke first.

"How is the King of Zhou in Fengyang?" Zhu Yunxi suddenly changed his mind again.

Li Jinglong thought about it, "Place it in the imperial city, Zhongdu left behind and specially selected a courtyard and carefully arranged it..."

Bang, a memorial fell directly on Li Jinglong's face.

"He is going to the circle or enjoy the happiness?" Zhu Yunxiu suddenly changed his face, "You are just doing business?"

"I am confused, I am guilty!" Li Jinglong quickly kowtowed, "I think it is because I am the King of the Ming Dynasty after all, so I should treat it well. I am not good at doing things well, so please punish me!"

Zhu Yunxiu saw that he didn't say anything, turned to look at Dali Temple and others from the Ministry of Justice, "In the case of King Zhou, all the matters that have been investigated at present must be revealed in the world. I have no family scandals to be made public!"

As he said that, he paused and said, "Transfer the order!"

"Zhou King Zhu Shi has been rampant since he entered the vassal state, and he secretly committed suicide by losing his country's body and disregarding his generosity. He colluded with officials and businessmen for personal gain, and committed horrifying things and plundering people's wealth and ointment. He is a crazy person!"

"I regard the King of Zhou as my uncle, and because of my bones and family affection, I have repeatedly tolerated and advised him. However, I did not regret changing myself and became more and more arrogant and disrespectful as my uncle."

"I often hear that the prince violated the law and committed the same crime as the common people. The Zhou king's crimes were shocking. If I were tolerated, I felt ashamed of my ancestors and my ministers and subjects all over the world."

"Then, the salary of the guards of the Zhou king's fiefs was cut off, the king's title and wardrobe were stopped, and the Fengyang high walls and cold palaces were banned, and only the title of the king was kept for the time being, and the food and daily life were provided by ordinary people."

"I am also grateful for the affection of my family. If King Zhou knew that I had worked hard, I could realize that it was not easy to start a business in the Ming Dynasty and it was not too late to wake up. If I did not reflect on myself, the way of heaven would be in a perfect state!"
