I make a popular science video and all the emperors learn from it!

Chapter 123

【Four major cases of popular science in Hongwu!】

【1: Hu Weiyong case】

【Hu Weiyong was originally from Dingyuan, Haozhou. He took refuge with Zhu Yuanzhang in 1355 and was considered a fellow villager of Zhu Yuanzhang.】

【Later, he fought with Zhu Yuanzhang and became one of the founders of the Ming Dynasty.】

【In the sixth year of Hongwu (1373), due to the recommendation of Li Shanchang, he was promoted to the right prime minister.】

【In the tenth year of Hongwu (1377), the official worship was Prime Minister Zuo, who ranked first among the hundreds of officials, one person below him and ten thousand people above him.】

【In the tenth year of Hongwu, Hu Weiyong had been prime minister for seven years and an official for seven years.】

【He spared no effort to attack foreign parties, support party members, and interfered too much in major cases, but did not ask Zhu Yuanzhang for instructions. This made Zhu Yuanzhang, who was extremely power-hungry, feel the crisis of the prime minister's dictatorship and the emperor's uselessness.】

【Moreover, Zhu Yuanzhang always wanted to abolish the position of prime minister】

【Why?】

【Because in Zhu Yuanzhang's view, I conquered the world, and I conquered it with all my life, so why should one person divide power!】

【However, the prime minister system has existed for many years】

【Except for Zhu Yuanzhang himself, everyone believed that the position of prime minister was indispensable. If this position was to be abolished, it would be difficult to accomplish without a justifiable reason.】

【Therefore, he has been watching Hu Weiyong silently, waiting for an opportunity to abolish the prime minister system.】

【As the saying goes, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.】

【Hu Weiyong is naturally not stupid if he can sit in the position of Prime Minister.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to attack him, why didn't he understand?】

【So, he thought of a brilliant countermeasure - drag people into the water!】

【As the saying goes, sayings don’t blame everyone】

【Hu Weiyong believed that as long as enough ministers were dragged into the water】

【Zhu Yuanzhang, could he still kill all the officials?】

【He acted quickly and attracted a large number of ministers from the DPRK and China】

【And the person he finally chose was the man who conquered the world with Zhu Yuanzhang, Li Shanchang】

【The reason for winning over Li Shanchang is very simple】

【He is the founding father of the country and is highly respected. What's more, Li Shanchang has the iron scroll given by Zhu Yuanzhang to avoid death.】

【After all his efforts, he finally succeeded in winning over Li Shanchang. Hu Weiyong thought to himself, now that all the civil and military officials in the dynasty have my people, what can you, Zhu Yuanzhang, do to me?】

【After Zhu Yuanzhang found out, he also issued a very simple order:"Kill them all.""】

【So, soon, Zhu Yuanzhang took action against Hu Weiyong!】

【The trigger of the incident:】

【Once, while riding a horse, Hu Weiyong's son accidentally fell under the wheels of a carriage and was crushed to death by the carriage.】

【When Hu Weiyong heard that his son was dead, he immediately killed the coachman in anger, but did not notify the judicial authorities.】

【Originally, this matter was no big deal】

【But the problem is that Zhu Yuanzhang has been waiting to touch him, and this incident is an opportunity】

【The opportunity has come】

【Zhu Yuanzhang immediately ordered Hu Weiyong to enter the palace to explain the matter】

【In fact, Hu Weiyong had already thought of an excuse. As soon as he entered the palace, he began to cry and complain about how pitiful he was, but he did not see Zhu Yuanzhang's cold eyes.】

【At this time, Hu Weiyong finally understood why Li Shanchang was unwilling to become an enemy of Zhu Yuanzhang】

【Not because he is old, but because he is afraid!】

【...】

【The case really broke out:】

【In the twelfth year of Hongwu, Zhan Guocheng came to pay tribute, but Hu Weiyong and others did not report to Zhu Yuanzhang】

【The eunuch found out and went to the palace to report to Zhu Yuanzhang】

【Zhu Yuanzhang was furious! Severely punished Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang who were responsible for this matter】

【Hu Weiyong's way of handling this matter was of course to admit his mistake. He passed the responsibility to the Ministry of Rites, thinking that this would settle the matter.】

【And Zhu Yuanzhang was also very clean and tidy. He directly executed Wang Guangyang and implicated all officials related to the matter!】

【Since I don't know whose fault it is】

【Then if I kill you all, there will be nothing wrong!】

【Later, Hu Weiyong's cronies Tujie reported on Hu Weiyong and told Zhu Yuanzhang all his plots.】

【And what Zhu Yuanzhang was waiting for was exactly this moment.】

【He immediately executed Hu Weiyong and destroyed Hu Weiyong's three clans! Kill everyone involved in this!】

【In this way, the case of Hu Weiyong, a celebrity through the ages, began.】

【Because there were so many people involved in the case (cdbe), it was very easy to arrest people at that time. As long as there was a little suspicion, they were taken directly to prison.】

【In this way, the case becomes bigger and bigger】

【From the beginning of the case to the end of the case, a total of more than 10,000 people were killed.】

【But the Hu Weiyong case has not been settled.】

【After Hu Weiyong's death, his rebellion conspiracy had not yet been fully exposed.】

【In the eighteenth year of Hongwu (1385), Li Cunyi was surrendered and reported. He was able to avoid death and was placed in Chongming.】

【In October of the 19th year of Hongwu (1386), the Lin Xian prison case was completed, and only the matter of Yongtong Japanese came to light.】

【In May of the 23rd year of Hongwu (1390), the matter was exposed, Feng Ji was arrested, and the situation at that time was interrogated. Hu Weiyong's treacherous conspiracy was further revealed.】

【It happened that Li Shanchang's domestic slave Lu Zhongqian surrendered and reported on Li Shanchang and Weiyong's contacts. Lu Zhongheng's domestic slave Feng Tiemu also surrendered and reported on Lu Zhongheng's conspiracy with Tang Shengzong, Fei Ju, Zhao Yong and Hu Weiyong.】

【Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and purged those who rebelled against the party. Words connected with each other, more than 30,000 people were executed.】

【So he wrote the"Record of the Revealed to the Traitor Party" and announced it to the world】

【The case was widely implicated, and it was not cleared up until several years later.】

【......】

【And Zhu Yuanzhang achieved his goal】

【Zhu Yuanzhang dismissed the prime minister system, reformed the secretariat of the Central Government, and strictly stipulated that the successor king could not appoint a prime minister again; any minister who dared to petition for the establishment of a prime minister would be severely punished. After the prime minister was abolished, his affairs were divided into six parts. The emperor had supreme power and centralization was further strengthened.】

【......】

Ancient people stared at the sky eagerly.

I even forgot to take a breath! ha?

Is this merciful? ? ?

He killed tens of thousands of officials casually!!!

"Here comes my mother! Zhu Yuanzhang is so cruel!"

"ah? Tens of thousands of officials were killed like this?"

"Darling, it’s so scary!"

"Fortunately, those killed were all officials, so there was nothing to feel bad about."

"......" yes!

Everyone reacted.

Zhu Yuanzhang killed almost all officials who had broken the law. They deserved to be killed!

Being an official is unkind, knowing the law and breaking the law!

He should be punished like ordinary people!

After thinking about it clearly, the people were no longer afraid and looked like they were having fun.

Qin Dynasty.

Fusu's eyes widened in horror.

He murmured:"Tens of thousands of people, killed like this?"

"Butcher! Executioner!"

"Are you considered a wise king?"

Fusu was immediately stunned. (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

And Ying Zheng was also confused.

He asked in disbelief:"Being soft-hearted?"

He immediately realized that this popular science was not serious.

It should mean the other way around.

Cruel and ruthless!

In addition, he felt a little proud in his heart.

The prime minister system established by him actually lasted for thousands of years!

It was not abolished until Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor..

Han Dynasty.

There was a clang!

The wine glass in Liu Bang's hand fell to the ground.

He focused all his attention on the light screen, and for a moment he forgot that there was something in his hand. His lips opened and closed.

I don't know how to describe his mood.[]

The ruthless emperor Zhu Yuanzhang!

Another dynasty.

Liu Che swallowed.

He never expected that the light curtain would tease him once!

This has nothing to do with being kind and soft-hearted!

Tang Dynasty.

All the civil servants and military generals looked at each other, still confused.

The reversal is too fast and too strong to be accepted in a short period of time.

Li Shimin put a hand on his forehead

"Let me take a look..."

"In order to consolidate the imperial power, Zhu Yuanzhang took advantage of the prime minister"

"For this reason, he did not hesitate to kill tens of thousands of people"

"I just say that the emperor has nothing to do with being soft-hearted and soft-hearted."

Ming Dynasty.

The strongest reaction was from the officials of the Ming Dynasty.

They were all frightened!!!

Your Majesty, he, he was so cruel!

In order to abolish the prime minister system, he deliberately indulged Hu Weiyong, and then completely liquidated it when the time came.

Still Killed tens of thousands of people!

All the ministers glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang in horror, unconsciously moving away from Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong.

For fear of splattering themselves with blood.

Li Shanchang's face was covered with beads of sweat.

He had two

Isn’t it useless to avoid death ?

I can’t stay in the position of prime minister.

I don’t know when he will be killed.

Li Shanchang is very aware of current affairs and immediately knelt down and shouted:"Your Majesty, I am guilty, please Your Majesty punishes!"

And Hu Weiyong took it, and a little liquid oozed out.

He was really frightened.

All three of his clans were moved to the ground!

And together with it, tens of thousands of officials and ministers were killed!

He also knelt on the ground tremblingly, He shouted:"My lord, my lord Hu Weiyong is also guilty, please punish me."

At the same time, more officials who were close to Hu Weiyong and Li Shanchang knelt down.

"Please punish me, Your Majesty."

The person involved, Zhu Yuanzhang, was extremely helpless.

How come his inner thoughts were exposed like this!?

He was still thinking of secretly planning to abolish the prime minister system when the time came.

Now, it seems not easy to handle....

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was silent, Li Shanchang added:"I am willing to resign as prime minister and let your Majesty punish you!"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up.

He looked at his old friend Li Shanchang. To be honest, he didn't want to kill this old friend.

But the emperor was ruthless.

Rather than being killed later, it would be better to let the old friend go home and retire.

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while, then nodded with difficulty:"Well, considering your past achievements, all punishments will be waived. I will give you three thousand taels of silver, and you can go home and retire after the New Year.""

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."Li Shanchang kowtowed crazily.

He finally saved his life.

Although he will have to work for a few more months, it is already the best result.

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the other ministers,"Li Shanchang will retire and return to his hometown in a few years and resign as prime minister. You guys Is there anyone who you would like to recommend to become the prime minister?"

"No no!"

The ministers shook their heads like rattles.

Who would rush to be reincarnated if they knew that they would die as prime minister?

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.

"Hey, is there really no one?"

"No no"

"Well, since no one wants to be the prime minister, let’s abolish the position of prime minister. Do you have any objections?"

"No no."

Zhu Yuanzhang pretended to be sad and nodded.

"Okay, pass on our will, and after Li Shanchang resigns as prime minister, the prime minister system will be abolished."

"Your majesty is wise!"

The officials shouted
