Another day I went to court, and this time, the atmosphere of court discussion became strange again.
The rebellious martial arts of the past seem much quieter.
The emperor's thunder and the warnings of the discerning military honors made all the generals of the military honor suppress their past rebelliousness and recklessness, which was rare to be low-key.
However, the civil officials who were low-key in the past were now extremely imposing.
The courtiers held their heads and chests, as if soldiers were rushing to the battlefield, with great momentum.
With the usual saying of the officials coming to court, the civil and military officials also moved in vastness and swaying and stepped into Chengtian Palace.
Long live the shouts, as usual, rose from the hall and resounded through this world.
After shouting, the fierce civil servants looked at the emperor together. Just when they were about to criticize him, they saw that the emperor looked cold and his expression was extremely cold.
Before the ministers could speak, the emperor took the initiative as if he were to Wu Xun.
The emperor stood up directly, looked around the ministers with cold eyes. At this moment, all the aura was fierce, and under such a state of the emperor, he subconsciously weakened a little bit of his aura.
"My dear friends, I believe you all know about Wuchang!"
As soon as this statement was made, Wu Xun was silent, and all the civil officials did not know how to answer.
Fortunately, the emperor did not answer the ministers, and then said: "Wuchang Water and Land Commander actually led the Qianqing and the magistrate on the street to singchi with one hundred and eight members of the family of Lingchi!"
"This person's behavior is crazy and he is extremely guilty!"
"I give an order to behead this thief and show it to the public, remove the military position of the Wuchang Military Law Department, remove the military status, remove the title of general of the Lianghu Lake, and demote the official position to one level. The rest of the people involved in the case will be punished according to military law! Strictly deal with it!"
As for this, the emperor looked at Wu Xun and his eyes became colder: "I have ordered the Ministry of Law of the Military and Law to send an inspection team to inspect all departments in the world to strictly investigate illegal laws, but if there are those who wantonly, they will be punished seriously and will not forgive me!"
After saying that, the emperor turned his head to look at the civil officials: "You are also betting on it. The court has its own laws and regulations. I will never tolerate those who ignore laws and act recklessly, no matter who they are!"
The emperor's words immediately blocked the court officials' aura that had reached their mouths.
The emperor has issued an order and is still so murderous. He is not the one who stands up to say this matter again...
Wouldn't it challenge the emperor's majesty? It caused the emperor's anger to divert?
For a moment, the ministers were silent, and the atmosphere in the court became a little weird.
But obviously, the most obvious feature of the Ming Dynasty's nurturing scholars for hundreds of years was that it would do anything for the sake of fame!
No matter whether it is good or bad for the country or the people, as long as you can become famous, someone will definitely succeed you.
Before experiencing the unreasonable massacre of the Qing Dynasty, this characteristic naturally continued to the Daheng Dynasty.
After all, although Daheng's butcher knife was also waving it freely, it was obviously much more concerned than the Qing Dynasty's policy of breaking the backbone without leaving any hair and treating the world as slaves.
"His Majesty!"
The call of Your Majesty also completely broke the strange atmosphere in the court.
"I dare to report!"
The emperor stared at the courtier who was emerging, and his voice seemed a little cold: "Say!"
"Former Ministry of Works, Wai Lang, greedying 12,386 taels of silver, was sentenced to the crime of family confiscation and exile!"
"The former head of the Ministry of Revenue, corruption of 58,600 taels of silver, forged account books, reselled 280,000 stones of grain from the treasury, and was executed by beheading. The entire tribe was exiled to Liaodong!"
"Former Minister of Works, he greedyed 286,800 taels of silver and 105,580 stones of grain. He was beheaded and displayed in public. The whole clan was exiled to Liaodong!"
"Wuchang's water and land commander, without his will, privately dispatched troops, closed down the city gates, and slapped 108 people on the street, which is said to have never been crazy in history. Such crimes were only sentenced to beheading!"
"I don't know about this. The crime of corruption and dereliction of duty is a disaster to the whole family. Why is this crazy crime only the individual guilt?"
After saying this, the official bowed his hands and stopped saying a word.
As soon as these words came out, the whole court was silent, and the emperor still looked like frost. His eyes looked at the official, and his murderous aura was leaking out!
"presumptuous!"
“Bold!”
At this moment, the low-key martial heroes suddenly became excited. They were just forced to pretend. Unexpectedly, these things actually jumped up and jumped onto His Majesty's head.
For a moment, the silence was instantly broken, and the generals of the martial arts regained their rebelliousness and recklessness. They pointed at the court officials and started cursing. If there weren't a few rational generals who could barely control the field, the military heroes would probably rushed over and beat the court officials up.
"Okay, how can this be done in the court behaves like this!"
The emperor scolded, and the noisy court returned to silence in an instant.
The official still bowed his hands and stood up, his attitude still was extremely clear!
The emperor looked around the ministers, and his eyes finally stood firm on the official again.
"What method should I use for my great eternity? What system should I follow?"
The emperor asked.
The official was stunned and then spoke out loudly: "I, Daheng, use the Ming law and inherit the Ming system!"
The emperor asked again:
"Okay, I ask you, according to the Ming Dynasty law, what punishment will be imposed on the crime of corruption?"
As soon as this statement was spoken, the official opened his mouth, but he could not say it.
The emperor sneered: "You can't say it?"
"Then I'll tell you!"
"If you use the Ming law, those who commit corruption in officials with a total of 70% of corruption are given a scourge, and each five scourge will be added to the first level!
Those who have corruption of 80 sacrificial powers shall be sentenced to hang.
Those who have corruption of over 60 taels of silver will be beheaded and will be punished by skinning and solid grass!”
"Tell me, how many 60 taels of greed have been greedy for the officials you mentioned, how many times have they been beheaded and how many times have they been peeled and filled with grass!"
"I only punish the evil people and forgive their family members. I have never been beaten to a lowly family. Do you think I shouldn't be so tolerant?"
The emperor was aggressive, and the official looked pale and trembling, but he was still unable to say a word!
"I think you should have doubts!"
The emperor did not question the official anymore, but instead pointed the topic at many court officials.

With a command, Xu Feng immediately stepped forward and stood up: "I am here!"
"Tell all officials, the Daheng Military Law I have formulated!"
"I obey the order!"
Xu Feng turned around and looked at the ministers: "According to the military law of Daheng, dereliction of duty, disobedience, looseness and other crimes, all the crimes are stopped by individuals, only the crimes of treason, and the crimes are in the nine clans."
"The crime of corruption is the same as that of family members. Those who commit crimes will be beheaded and displayed to the public, and the rest will be punished for raiding the house and exiling the house!"
"Tell them what crime Shi Lin committed by Wuchang Water and Land Commander!"
The emperor said again.
"According to the Daheng Military Law, in this case, Shi Lin, the commander of Wuchang's water and land, was guilty of abuse of power and disobeying his orders. The former Qinghe Prefect was wanted and the evidence was confirmed. According to the previous Ming law, he was a criminal, not an ordinary citizen, but his family was punished according to the crime. Although it was a crime of exile, he should treat the exiled well as his Majesty's instructions."
"Therefore, although it is a crime of exile, it still belongs to the people. Therefore, the crime of injuring the people must be sentenced to the crime of injuring the people! If he is unable to bear the losses of the injured people, or if he does not bear the excuse, his family shall bear the silver for compensation!"
When Xu Feng finished speaking, the court was silent. The originally aggressive civil officials were also like eggplants beaten by frost. They were instantly lost. They all lowered their eyebrows and looked down, fearing that they would attract the attention of the emperor and cause thunder and anger to stain them.
"Dear friends, do you understand?"
The emperor looked around the civil and military officials and spoke slowly.
"Your Majesty's wise!"
At this moment, all civil and military officials, no matter what they think in their hearts, were shouting.
The emperor was also relieved. Fortunately, his reaction speed was faster than that of the court officials. Otherwise, the matter would not be able to be suppressed and dealt with with just a few tricks.
The official who stood up had a pale face and cold sweat had dripped all over the floor.
"Your advice is not without reason!"
The emperor slowly spoke: "The previous Ming Dynasty has been going on for hundreds of years, and many things seem to be out of place."
"The Great Henglu is also imminent!"
"This matter will be handed over to the cabinet!"
"Daheng Military Law also needs to keep pace with the times. The Ministry of Military Law will study it and see where it needs improvement. Summarize it and submit a charter!"
"I obey the order!"
The cabinet and the military honors of the Ministry of Military Law also received the orders.
"There are two more things."
The emperor kept straight to the point as always.
The ministers also trembled, fearing that the emperor would come up with some earth-shaking tricks!
Just now the emperor pressed it down and made a big move. But few people dared to stand up again.
"The first thing is that the cabinet ministers have been vacant for a long time, and I want to add them."
"As the customary court recommended the cabinet ministers, and the cabinet was ready to be held on a date."
"I obey the order!"
After coming to the sect to receive the order, the emperor was obviously hesitant. The officials waited for a while, but they still didn't say anything.
After a long time, the emperor seemed to make a decision and slowly spoke: "The two emperors of Chongzhen had been in the palace for a long time, and the two tombs have been built. We should choose an auspicious day to enter the tomb. For this matter, the Ministry of Rites drafted a charter and submitted it."
This statement also appeared on the face of the civil and military officials at this moment.
The news came too hastily, and for a moment, no one in the court spoke out.
There are opponents, but they don’t know where to start opposing the opposition. After all, it is inevitable and destined to continue to inherit the system and cannot be changed.
There are people who celebrate with each other, but in this Daheng court, there is already a priest and a minister. Heaven has changed. No matter how happy it is, it can only endure it. If you stand up, you will be remembered. This priest is not a kind-hearted person.
The rest are centrists who neither oppose nor support them, so naturally they will not talk much about these.
This scene was beyond the emperor's expectations. He thought the court would argue endlessly about it, but he did not expect that it would be such a scene.
"My dear friends, do you have any objections to this matter?"
The ministers looked at each other and finally bowed one after another. The sparse voices also turned into unanimous shouts.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
In this scene, the emperor's eyes flashed, and he didn't know whether he should be sad or happy!
