This really shot himself in the foot. Who would have thought that the prince would give them this trick. The censor Wu Bei was petrified.

The ministers who jumped and stood up to oppose each other were stunned.

Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang's method of punishing corrupt officials was harsh and even inhumane. Skinned daylily, such a terrifying torture.

It is said that those who are extremely guilty will still be alive after the skin on their bodies is stripped off. The pain is so chilling.

Many of the wait-and-see ministers were glaring at the Censor Wu Bei and others. You pig brains are really useless measures to get ahead of you. Don’t you know what kind of person this prince is? Isn’t it a search for death if you offend the prince for no reason?

Zhu Cilang looked at everyone coldly. He had already learned to endure. He could not solve any problems with impulse and had to learn to use his brain in everything.

The ministers have suffered this time by treating others.

As for Emperor Chongzhen, in fact, Emperor Chongzhen did not object to this marriage from the very beginning. Emperor Chongzhen did not think it was inappropriate to choose his son.

Although Xiao Shishi is an orphan and widowed mother, the child is happy as soon as he comes. It can be seen that Xiao Shishi has no bad intentions. Moreover, she is a loyal and kind family, and her brother sacrificed his life for the country.

Emperor Chongzhen was still very satisfied with this marriage for such a family. In addition, Xiao Shishi's stunning appearance, including Empress Zhou and Empress Yi'an Zhang Yan, who were all very satisfied.

However, Chongzhen had always been soft-hearted and could not resist the words of the ministers. There was no way, Emperor Chongzhen could only accept this matter.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard Zhu Cilang say this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but be overjoyed. He was not only happy that his son angrily criticized the ministers, but even more happy that Zhu Cilang did something that he had always wanted to do but could not do.

Emperor Chongzhen didn’t want to suppress corruption? Of course he thought, more than anyone else. The question is, when the entire court is decayed, what’s the use of thinking? Even if you think, can the officials agree?

When the entire river water turns black, can you be tolerated with a clear stream? Even if Chongzhen wants to suppress corruption, there is no way. When he killed Wei Zaode and others, it was Zhu Cilang's credit for killing Zhu Chunchen, it was also because of Zhu Cilang.

Now he has a handle, and the ministers themselves hit the gun. It was these so-called ministers who asked themselves that they used the teachings of Taizu. They said that Xiao Shishi could not be elected as the Crown Princess according to the rules.

Since we talked about the ancestral system, this is what you said. Emperor Taizu also had the ancestral system of peeled daylily, so let’s have a good talk about this peeled daylily.

Before the ministers who shot themselves in the foot had completely reacted, Emperor Chongzhen slapped the table: "Very good! This is very good. Since all my beloved ministers follow the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu, then I have criticized this matter and immediately, the Jinyiwei has comprehensively rectified the corruption in the court. Anyone who is corrupt and abused the law will be punished for serious crimes. Emperor Taizu once had strict orders that those who embezzled 60 taels of silver will be executed immediately. I think Emperor Taizu's approach is a bit cruel to treat the current noble families. So, I have a decree to embezzle 600 taels of corruption. No, those who embezzle 600 taels of corruption will be killed without mercy! Those who embezzle more than 600 taels of corruption will be peeled off daylily."

It's over and it's over and it's over. The emperor really wants to implement the ancestral system of Emperor Taizu's skinned daylily, which is an inhumane torture.

Peeling daylily means peeling off human skin and filling it with straw to show it to the public.

Zhu Yuanzhang embezzled 60 taels of silver and moved his house with his head. Emperor Chongzhen was so kind that it was not sixty taels, nor six hundred taels. But it was a full six thousand taels.

It seems that six thousand taels are an astronomical figure. Compared with Zhu Yuanzhang, Emperor Chongzhen is considered particularly kind.

However, which dog official now does not embezzle tens of thousands of taels or hundreds of thousands of taels or even millions of taels. According to the will of Emperor Chongzhen, those who embezzle more than 60,000 taels must be peeled off the daylily.

If Emperor Chongzhen rashly proposed this decree, it would inevitably be strongly opposed by the ministers. Even if Emperor Chongzhen had this decree, it would be extremely difficult to implement it below.

It is not proposed by Emperor Chongzhen, nor by Crown Prince Zhu Cilang. It is because you ministers who take the initiative to ask for it.

I, Chongzhen, have been the emperor for more than ten years, and have never seen such perverted requests as you have. Since you want to restore the ancestral system, okay, come and hurt each other.

In ancient China, the phenomenon of corruption was repeatedly banned, and any feudal dynasty must have corruption. It is unlikely to change this phenomenon, so the country could only increase its efforts to severely punish corruption criminals. However, in ancient times, there was a dynasty whose founding monarch had zero tolerance for corruption. It was found that one killed another, and the most serious thing was to peel the corruption criminals.

Peeling solid grass is very simple. It is to peel off the skin, fill it with grass, and then hang it on the beams of the yamen to intimidate later officials. However, this kind of thing can only be used by the founding emperor. If the later emperor uses it, it will definitely be criticized by civil officials half to death. This emperor is Zhu Yuanzhang.

Zhu Yuanzhang was the founder of the Ming Dynasty. During his reign, he loved the people with integrity and valued agricultural production, and attached great importance to the people. However, Zhu Yuanzhang had zero tolerance for corrupt officials. Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that anyone who embezzled more than 60 taels must be severely punished, but many people did not understand how much 60 taels were in ancient times.

Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor by a commoner. Before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he let go of cattle and worked as beggars. Therefore, he endured many hardships. When he was a child, his family was very poor, and his mother and father were starved to death early, so he did not have any money to bury them when his parents died.

During the reign of Zhu Yuanzhang, sixty taels of silver were indeed not a small amount, or even a huge sum of astronomical money.

However, after more than 200 years of baptism, the currency always depreciated. By the Chongzhen period, it was no longer easy to do 60 taels of silver.

However, the words of 600 taels of silver were reasonable. However, Emperor Chongzhen was so kind that he ordered to embezzle 600 taels of silver to lose his head.

Zhu Cilang was naturally overjoyed, and he must not give the ministers time to react at this time. Zhu Cilang hurriedly knelt down and thanked him for his order: "My son, please follow the imperial order."

The officials below were all trembling, which was a death. They would have to die for 6,000 taels of silver. If they had negotiated hundreds of thousands of taels, they would commit suicide by going home as soon as possible. A white silk would not be tortured by skinned daylily.

All officials shivered and shivered.
