Zhu Yijun replied in a deep voice: "Five years after Emperor Yongle ascended the throne, the queen died. When Xu Zengshou was martyred, he delivered the news for Emperor Yongle, was killed by Jianwen, and was later named the Duke of Dingguo. Xu Huizu was placed under house arrest because he once led the army to resist Emperor Yongle, and Yongle died of illness in five years, but his son later became the Duke of Wei, a double prince, and retired with the country. "

The daughter and son died of illness in the same year, and they did not live as long as their father.

A double country!

Xu Da didn't know whether to be happy or sad.

But a double kingdom, with the country, is a unique grace in the Ming Dynasty, it can be said that the entire Ming Dynasty, on the dignity of the natural Zhu family, followed by the Dingguo and Wei Xu.

Although the Dingguo Mansion has been raided today, there is still a Wei Duke in Nanjing.

When Dingguo Gong was raided, Xu Da had nothing to say, he did it himself, he could be more loyal to the Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Di walked over to ease Xu Da's heavy mood: "You don't have to worry, although Miaoyun's health has always been not very good, I have already given her the elixir, and she will not die of illness in five years as in history." Hui Zu thought I was a rebel, so I swore to die, so I put him under house arrest, but my father has already shown up to prove my orthodoxy, Hui Zu no longer insists, I have released his house arrest. "

"Thank you, Your Majesty Yongle." Xu Da bowed for a long time.

............

Xu Da did things vigorously and resolutely, and soon the high-level officers of all parties were called by him to the sand table to discuss countermeasures.

The lion fights the rabbit and does his best, Xu Da is naturally 100% confident in defeating Li Zicheng's army, but the price of 10,000 people is completely different from the price of 1,000 people.

It took half a day for Xu Da to make detailed and careful arrangements, turning the area around the capital into a huge trap, just waiting for Li Zicheng, a beast to come in and seek death.

It wasn't until the third day that Xu Da completed the full deployment of the 120,000 army, and these three days were no different from the end of the world for the magnates in the capital, and Zhu Youzhen's raid was carried out almost day and night.

Hundreds of heads fall to the ground every day.

Mao Xiang came to report: "Your Majesty, in the past three days, the amount of house raids has reached 40 million taels."

"What's that?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes widened, staring at Mao Xiang in disbelief: "You say it again?" How much silver? "

"Forty million taels!" Mao Xiao repeated, with shock in his tone: "The highest one is as high as three million taels. "

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned red all of a sudden, and he was furious.

You must know that in the Hongwu Dynasty, the annual financial income of the imperial court, excluding grain and the like, is only more than one million taels of silver.

How much did you copy in three days?

It's only halfway through, and I actually copied 40 million taels!

Even if all the taxes of the Hongwu Dynasty at this time were exchanged for silver, 40 million taels would be equivalent to two years' taxes.

Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't imagine how many people were displaced behind the 40 million taels of corruption? How many people don't have enough to eat?

The officials of the Yuan court at the end of the Yuan Dynasty were also like this, no one was not greedy, knocking out the bones and sucking the marrow of the people, desperately squeezing, he seemed to see countless people who were starved to death like his parents in the late Ming Dynasty.

He would never allow such a large-scale tragedy to happen under his nose again.

Zhu Di snorted coldly, murderous: "Mao Xiang! "

"Your Majesty Yongle." Mao Xiang bowed.

"Send a message to Chongzhen, none of these corrupt people can be spared! If he dares to spare someone's life, I will cut him down!" "

"Yes!" (Read violent novels, just go to Feilu Fiction Network!) )

Watching Mao Xiang leave, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a long time: "Emperor Wanli, you say, there is no way to eliminate corruption in this world?" "

Zhu Yijun did not answer directly: "Do you think that compared with the Qin, Han, Tang, Song and Yuan dynasties, are my Ming officials more honest than them?" "

For this question, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Qiyu all began to ponder, and after a long time, Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head: "Although we don't want to admit it, we have to admit that although we deal with corruption so harshly, Daming is not more honest than other dynasties, which is also something we can't figure out." "

"Emperor Hongwu, I can tell you that in my Ming Dynasty, there were only a few dynasties in the past dynasties that the wind of official corruption could be compared, and the later it was, the more serious the corruption, and by the end of the Ming Dynasty, there were already no officials and no corruption."

As soon as Zhu Yijun's words came out, Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Qiyu all looked stunned, obviously they didn't expect that the corruption in Daming would be so serious.

But why! I am so strict in punishing corruption. Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but ask out loud.

"It must not have been enough to kill! We must unswervingly implement the strict punishment law in this regard! Let every official know that as long as you stretch out your hand, you will die! "

is worthy of being Zhu Yuanzhang's own son, and from this sentence, it can be known that Zhu Di's murderous nature is no worse than his father.

Zhu Qiyu's cheeks twitched, and he didn't kill enough?

As soon as he thought that Taizu had killed tens of thousands of people in the Guo Heng case and had killed the six Shangshu as the commander of the light pole, his scalp was numb.

This is not enough, what kind of (Zhao Qian's) son has to be killed?

Zhu Yijun shook his head: "It's definitely not the reason why you didn't kill enough, in the eighteenth year of Hongwu, you killed 30,000 people in Guo Heng's case, but you still couldn't stop corruption, but the more ruthless the pressure, the more ruthless the greed." "

"To reduce corruption, relying only on strict punishment and strict laws has little effect, or the effect is only short-term, and it must be combined with the corresponding system."

"In my Ming Dynasty, only Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle had this kind of courage, and after the wanton killing, they could still suppress the backlash, and then no Ming Emperor could kill corrupt courtiers like you, and even the court was paralyzed by killing too many."

"Emperor Hongwu, do you know that after your death and Jianwen's accession to the throne, those courtiers who have been suppressed by you for many years are like wild horses that have escaped from the leash, galloping on the corrupt grassland."
