Chapter 7 General Xu Da’s support Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the indignant ministers below and couldn't help laughing.
This crazy person, Lin Che, really made it right.
Regardless of whether they are upright ministers or treacherous people in the court, they all maintain a high degree of consistency on this matter.
As a beneficiary of this policy, who would take the initiative to stand up against it without any reason?
Not only was he unhappy, but he also caused a lot of commotion.
In Lao Zhu's eyes.
Xu Da, Liu Sanwu, and Fu Youwen were also considered upright and honest officials in the court.
Even the three of them had no objections. There was no official in the court who stood up to speak.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Liu Sanwu kneeling on the ground and smiled lightly: "Liu Aiqing, do you know who made the statement?"
Liu Sanwu fell to the ground and said, "I don't know!"
"Liu Aiqing, this person is quite close to you."
Liu Sanwu was shaken all over, and even fell to the ground, playing loudly: "I am stupid, please make it clear, Your Majesty!"
"Speaking of which, this person is your disciple. He is Lin Che, this year's top student in the scientific examination."
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
"Lin Che?!"
"It turns out it's this mad man. Wasn't he sent to prison? How dare he speak nonsense and criticize the government?!"
"He should be beheaded immediately without mercy. No, he should be executed late and late to serve as a warning to others."
"My minister agrees!"
"... "
heard.
Li Shanchang, Hu Weiyong, and Fu Youwen were all frightened.
Even Xu Da, who was watching coldly, was stunned for a while.
This Jiangpu Gongsheng was admitted to the palace examination half a month ago. The emperor was furious because he complained about Chen's poor performance in the imperial examination.
I thought that because of Zhu Yuanzhang's cruel and taboo character, this crazy man would be killed on the spot in the Fengtian Palace.
However, what surprised the civil and military officials of the entire court was that Zhu Yuanzhang actually endured it this time.
Just put this madman into prison and ask for execution after Qiu.
You must know that anyone who dares to criticize this tyrannical emperor in the court will be killed with a cane.
Except for General Xu Da, who is on official duty, and South Korean Gong Li Shanchang, who is at home at home, the other three sitting here today are all witnesses of the palace examination half a month ago.
Especially Liu Sanwu, a bachelor and minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, was the host of the palace examination.
Lin Che, a Gongsheng student from Jiangpu, was still the No. 1 student Liu Sanwu personally admitted in the general examination.
When I was grading papers for the general examination, I saw Lin Che's stereotyped strategy and thought it was a rare talent.
Combined with Lin Che's handsome appearance, Liu Sanwu believed that Lin Che would be the number one winner in this imperial examination.
Unexpectedly, this guy suddenly suffered from convulsions during the palace examination.
Yang Yangshasha wrote a policy statement on "Selecting officials through the imperial examination will harm the country and the people."
It caused an uproar in the court.
While Liu Sanwu felt sorry for the young talent Lin Che, he was also not worried about himself.
After all, Lin Che was admitted to No. 1 in the exam, and it was he, the bachelor, who was admitted.
And in front of the current emperor, he praised and praised this mad man with all his heart.
Who knew there was such a big flaw.
During the imperial examination that day, Liu Sanwu almost peed in fear.
What he didn't expect was that the current emperor, who had always been cruel and suspicious, not only did not kill the crazy student on the spot, but also did not punish him as the recommender.
Liu Sanwu spent these days in fear every day.
However, I still agree with one sentence: It is a blessing, not a curse, and it is a curse that cannot be avoided.
What should come is still coming.
It seems that after being cautious for half a lifetime, he still falls down in the court.
Who allowed me to personally admit this crazy student?
The emperor was right. After all, Lin Che could be considered his !Life! "Xueshi Liu, do you still think that this person is deceiving the public with his lies and having wild ambitions?"
Zhu Yuanzhang kept his expression and ignored the verbal and written criticisms of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, but stared at Liu Sanwu with interest.
Liu Sanwu sighed and knelt down with a wry smile on his face, "Your Majesty, I am guilty..."
"Liu Aiqing!"
Before Liu Sanwu could finish his words, Zhu Yuanzhang interrupted him: "Let's not talk about the crime of recommendation you made in front of me before. Let's talk about this matter. Is the policy of subsidizing salary from public land a good policy or a bad policy for our Ming Dynasty?"
"Liu Aiqing, I know that you have always been loyal to the emperor, patriotic, and honest."
"I just want to hear you tell the truth!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's words were so earnest that Liu Sanwu burst into tears and fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, I have to punish a humble minister. I really cannot bear the words 'loyal to the emperor, patriotic, honest and dedicated to the public'."
"However, I will definitely live up to the emperor's salary, be loyal to the emperor, and worry about the emperor."
"I dare not tell half a lie in front of His Majesty."
Liu Sanwu leaned on the ground, his voice was high-pitched and came from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded with satisfaction:
"Liu Aiqing, get up and talk."
"Long live my emperor, long live, long live."
Liu Sanwu kowtowed three times and bowed nine times before getting up.
"Reporting to your majesty, I see that this mad man is still in the imperial prison and still making false statements about national policy, which is really treason."
"According to Ming law, you should be beheaded."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes narrowed slightly and his tone increased:
"Liu Aiqing, what I'm asking you is whether the policy of subsidizing salaries from public land is a bad policy. What do you think?"
As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said this.
Liu Sanwu opened his mouth, but stopped talking.
At this time, Hu Weiyong, the prime minister of the left, came out of the queue and played loudly:
"Your Majesty, if I remember correctly, this Kuangsheng openly attacked the imperial examination system that has been passed down for several dynasties during the imperial examination a few days ago."
"Young men like this, before they even enter the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, they dare to discuss government affairs, make false claims, and confuse the public with their monstrous words."
"If we don't kill this man, where is the majesty of the court? Where is the dignity of the royal family?"
"I sincerely request your Majesty to kill this thief as soon as possible to prevent evil rumors from spreading!"
Hu Weiyong's words may seem convincing, but they have no new ideas.
Completely echoes South Korea's Li Shanchang.
Zhu Yuanzhang knew that Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang were both fellow townsmen and in-laws.
Although Li Shanchang is idle at home, he is the leader of the nobles in Huaixi.
It is also the link between Hu Weiyong and the nobles of Huaixi.
Seeing Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang singing together.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face darkened.
And this time.
General Xu Da, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke:
"It is difficult for me to agree with the words of Prime Minister Hu when I report to the superior."
"I believe that although this mad man's words are sharp and treasonous, his views are not nonsense."
"If it is true as what is said, the policy of subsidizing salaries for public land will result in land annexation and farmers losing their land, the consequences will be no different from those of the previous dynasty."
"The superior and his ministers overthrew the Yuan chiefs and established the Ming Dynasty. Didn't they just hope that all the people in the world would have crops and food to eat?"
"As the saying goes, good advice is hard to hear but helps practice. If this policy goes against the original intention, I may as well abolish it!"
!!!
The sonorous and powerful voice made all the ministers present speechless.
