Zhu Longrui smiled bitterly and said,"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, those who harm the people for no reason will be executed."
If the vassal king encroaches on the land of the people for no reason, he shall compensate him tenfold.
Hehe, how unfair is this law to us vassal kings!”
"Unfair? Haha, it had already been like this since the time of Glory Sect. What was so unfair about it?
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, the leader of the rebellion will be shot and the rest will be imprisoned for life," Zhu Longqing muttered.
Then, his gentle face suddenly turned ferocious.
"You know! You actually f * cking know about it!"
Zhu Longqing angrily kicked him down and shouted,""You knew, but you still did this!”
"I was only born an hour later than you. Why can't I be the emperor?”
Zhu Longrui knew that he couldn't escape death and decided to give it his all.
"If you can take the throne, so can I!”
Zhu Longqing looked at him.
"Haha, do you think it's easy to be the Great Ming Emperor? Forget it, this one has nothing to say to you."
Zhu Longqing stooped and casually waved his hand.
King Jing was taken away by the guards.
Thus, King Jing was secretly executed the next day, and the rest were imprisoned in the Imperial Clan Court for life.
As for the vacant position of Fan Wang, the Imperial Clan Court and the cabinet would naturally discuss a new candidate.
End of Act One
Ming Mu Zong Zhu Zaiyu VS Ming Kang Zong Zhu Longqing
The votes will be counted in ten minutes. The voting will now begin.
At this moment, in the bullet screen,
"This... He really killed them!"
"The Emperor is really ruthless, even killing his own younger brother!"
"Is the law of the Ming Dynasty so strict? A prince can be killed just like that?”
"Tsk tsk, since ancient times, relatives have hidden from each other. The King of Chen is indeed a country of tigers and wolves.”
"Amazing, it's really amazing!"
"Tsk, are you guys seriously ill? Why can't we kill a rebellious prince?”
" That's right. Moreover, only the leader was killed. The rest of the vassal kings were locked up. This is already benevolent enough."
"Putting aside the facts, it's never good to kill your own brother."
"Both of them have problems."
The discussion in the bullet screen was intense, and the Primitive Great Ming World No. 1's Hall of Virtuous Culture was not any less noisy.
"Even if the vassal king wants to rebel, he has to be moved by emotion and reason. He can't be killed directly."
"That's right, it's really a barbarian country. My Great Ming definitely can't do this!”
"What my colleagues say makes sense. Since ancient times, emperors who killed their own brothers have been despised!”
The civil officials began to collectively denounce Zhu Longqing and the system of Chen Wang Daming.
Li Shan Chang and Liu Bowen looked at each other.
" I thought we wouldn't have to use such a heavy punishment and demote him to a commoner," Liu Bowen said.
"Great minds think alike!" Lee Shan Chang nodded.
Hall of Heaven.
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma had a disagreement.
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned." The punishment is too harsh. No matter what, we're still a family. I thought that demoting to a commoner was enough."
"ChenQie believes that this is the only way to intimidate the people of the future."
"Hmm? What do you mean?"
"Chongba, there's a rebellion in this generation. Did you see a rebellion in the previous video?”
From Prime Minister Ming to Ming Kang Sect, only Ming Kang Sect's generation had a rebellion.
"That's it. If it wasn't for Zhu Longqing, who knows how many vassal kings would rebel in the future?"
Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it carefully. It was indeed reasonable.
However, if Zhu Yuanzhang had made up his mind to kill his rebellious son, he would not have done it.
No matter what, they were a family fighting for the inheritance.
This was common even in the homes of ordinary people, let alone in the royal family.
He couldn't just kill them one by one, and that would be how the people would view him.
They didn't care if the emperor's son or brother rebelled.
At this moment, Number Two was transforming the Great Ming World.
Wenying Hall.
The same scene appeared again.
Xu Ben and Zhan Hui watched coldly from the side.
"Old Xu, in fact, I didn't think that Prince Chen was good at first. He's just another emperor.
"But now, I really think that the King of Chen is a rare emperor since ancient times," Zhan Hui sighed.
"Uh, why is that?"
"Do you know about Shang Yang's reform?" Zhan Hui smiled.
Xu Ben's face turned black when he heard that.
"I say, Old Zhan, I'm familiar with history books, so how could I not know about Shang Yang's reform?”
"Then do you know the fundamental reason why Shang Yang's reform was successful?”Zhan Hui continued to ask.
"Of course, it's to establish a tree as a letter!" Xu Ben pointed at the pillar beside him.
Zhan Hui nodded and said,"That's right, it's to establish a tree as a letter!
That Ming Kang Sect's action was to establish a tree as a letter!”
"Old Zhan, I still don't understand. What does killing a vassal king have to do with establishing a tree as a letter?”Xu Ben was puzzled.
"Old Xu, the law is something that people have to abide by. Only the law that everyone abides by is the law.
The previous dynasty basically used morality to replace law. Under the framework of morality, everyone would involuntarily abide by it.
The real rule of law was like King Ming of Chen. Under the law, everyone was equal, even the nobles.
You understand!"
Xu Ben suddenly understood.
"Old Zhan, on the other hand, if the emperor uses his special privilege to absolve his family of their crimes, this law will naturally be regarded as waste paper by the world.
If they violated the law, they would only obey the punishment and not the law!”
Zhan Hui was surprised. Good heavens, Old Xu could even draw inferences from one instance.
" That's why I admire Prince Chen. The Ming Dynasty was able to enforce the law, and even the nobles were not pardoned. I don't know how much bloodshed there was," Zhan Hui muttered.
At this moment, Zhu Chen's figure became even more imposing in Zhan Hui's heart.
Only such an emperor could be a good family.
As for Emperor Hongwu, even though he was outstanding, Zhu Hongwu had never been able to conceal his love for his family.
Zhan Hui had long heard that the King of Qin, Zhu Wei, committed crimes in the territory of the vassal state and killed people for pleasure.
His Majesty clearly knew about it, but he indulged in it without even giving him a symbolic punishment.
If that was the case, who would respect your laws?
Forget about the high status of the emperor, he was the son of heaven.
These words were just to fool the people. Confucianism had developed for thousands of years.
Any scholar who believed this would be a fool.
The officials saw it even more clearly.
This was the so-called following the example of the superior.
At this moment, on the way to Quanzhou.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was dark and his tone was filled with anger.
"How can you use such a heavy punishment on your own brother?!!”
