Li Shi Min frowned.
A prince actually needed to bribe a minister in order to receive an annual reward.
What was that Jiajing busy doing?!
No matter how much you dislike this son of yours, he is still your blood and a prince.
A prince needed to bribe his subjects, and this would damage the dignity of the royal family!!
As the emperor, did he not even have this sense of smell?!
Chong Zhen sneered. This Yan Song and Yan Shifan had done many bad things!
This is nothing!
On the screen, the video continued.
The fourth crime is to corrupt the court and sell official positions and titles.
Yan Song and Yan Shifan sold their official positions in the court in order to plunder money.
Those who could afford to pay would be promoted to higher positions, while those who could not afford to pay would be released.
For example, the seven-grade state judge sold 300 taels of silver, the six-grade general judge sold 500 taels of silver, and the military officer commanded the sale of 300 taels of silver, and all commanded the sale of 700 taels of silver.
Xiang Zhiyuan, the head of the Ministry of Justice, used 13,000 taels of silver to transfer to the head of the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Pan Hongye, the tribute scholar, used 2,200 taels of silver to become the governor of Linqing.
Li Fengming, the commander of the army, took out 2,000 taels of silver to fill the post of commander of Jizhou, and Guo Cong, the old commander of the army, took out 3,000 taels of silver to supervise the water transport.
And those who bought official positions to get official positions, in order to rise higher, would wantonly oppress the people, embezzling and accepting money.
As a result, resentment rose among the people.
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless.
Zhu Di was speechless.
Ying Zheng was speechless.
Li Shimin was speechless.
My friend and I were stunned.
How could he play like this?
Cao Cao smacked his lips, feeling a sense of familiarity. It seemed like Emperor Ling and the Ten Attendants of the Imperial Court had done such a stupid thing before.
After the death of Emperor Ling of Han, the Han Dynasty was destroyed by Great Wei…Cough! Inherited.
Could this Jiajing Emperor be the Emperor before Chongzhen?
Zhu Yuanzhang was furious." Damn Yan Song, damn Yan Shifan, what does he take my Ming Dynasty official position for?!! Are they the leeks in the market?"
"And Jiajing, what is this idiot doing!？! Didn't he know that Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty died because of buying and selling official positions?!!”
"Why would Great Ming have such an emperor! Such an official!"
Although he was angry earlier, it was still within the range of what he could tolerate.
But he couldn't take this buying and selling of official positions.
Whether it was flattering the emperor, humiliating the prince, or suppressing the loyal, the impact on the common people was relatively small. Other than the prince bribing the officials, everything else was within the rules of the court.
But selling official positions was different!!
This was a Pandora's Box!
Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty opened it, and then the Yellow Turbans rebelled, and the Great Han Dynasty perished.
Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty, opened it, and then the Rebellion of the Eight Princes split the Jin Dynasty.
Song Qinzong opened it, and then the shame of Jingkang was that he was captured, his wife and daughter were raped, and he became a minotaur.
Now, this Yan Song and Yan Shifan had actually opened this magic box!!
This is to let Da Ming die!
Therefore, Zhu Yuanzhang was especially furious at this moment!
"Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!"
Zhu Di's face was as dark as water. He clenched his fists and veins popped out. He gritted his teeth and said,
"Now I want to see what this Jiajing is doing.!!”
" Is longevity that easy to seek?!"
"You don't care about bullying Zhongliang."
"You don't care about robbing the people's money."
"You don't care if the prince is humiliated."
"Now, you don't even care about the treacherous officials selling their official positions here.”
"In this world, is the surname Zhu or Yan?!!!”
When the last sentence was said, it was earth-shattering. The officials and attendants knelt down and said in fear,
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
Great Qin's historical node.
Ying Zheng looked at the light screen in astonishment, and could not help but feel a little speechless.
Good heavens, can official positions be bought and sold at will?!
Even though Great Qin sold Nobles, of the 20 Nobles in Great Qin, only the lowest-ranked Rank 1 Duke and Rank 2 Duke could buy them. As for the other 18 Nobles, they could forget about it.
In Great Qin, titles and official positions were two different things.
With a title, one might not be able to become an official, especially a small title like a public official or a high-ranking official.
To a large extent, it was just a false reputation.
Even if it was just a false reputation, Great Qin had only done it twice as a last resort.
The first was the war to destroy Wei, and the second was the war to destroy Chu. Both were to gather food, and each title was worth 1,000 dan of food.
After unifying the six countries, Great Qin never did anything like this again.
Li Shi Min burst into laughter and was also speechless.
"In the Han Dynasty, the ten constant attendants still needed to discuss with the emperor to sell their official positions. How did Yan Song and Yan Shifan sell their official positions alone?”
At this moment, words appeared on the screen again.
[Fifth crime: Colluding with pirates and ignoring the emperor's dignity]
Yan Shifan had a good relationship with Luo Longwen, and through Luo Longwen, he contacted the Japanese pirates. He was always prepared to escape. If there was any change in the court, he would escape to the Cherry Blossom Kingdom through the Japanese pirates.
In addition, Yan Shifan was also in contact with the pirates, secretly raising private armed forces and plotting against them.
Yan Shifan had once found a piece of land with the aura of a king when he was exploring the outside world. Then, he actually bought this piece of land and built a high-rise building here to live in.
In 1562, Yan Song lost his power and Yan Shifan was exiled to Leizhou. However, Yan Shifan changed his route and returned to his hometown to cultivate.
When they raided Lady Yan and her son's house, they had earned 200,000 taels of gold, 2,500,000 taels of silver, and even several million taels of silver worth of calligraphy and paintings.
Yan Song had messed up the court for more than 20 years. During this period, Yan Song and his henchmen and descendants were corrupt and bribed, forming cliques for personal gain, causing the entire court to be in chaos.
Due to Yan Song's autocracy, the Ming Dynasty's national strength was seriously declining, and the border defense was equivalent to nothingness. The people were suffering.
In 1567, the 87-year-old Yan Song was poor and died alone in his tomb. The year before, his son, Yan Shifan, was also beheaded in the city for adultery with foreign countries.
The Yan father and son had ended their sinful lives.
However, many people were not satisfied with this, especially the commoners who felt the same way. All kinds of vulgar words were hurled out.
"If a good person doesn't pay with his life, a scourge will last for a thousand years!”
"Bah! Dog official!"
" Pui, pui, pui!!!"
"Motherf * cker! Grandpa is like eighteen generations of grandmothers!”
(... Greetings!)
