    "Zhen'er, isn't this a little too cruel?

    I¡¯m glad he won¡¯t die!

    There is no need to implement the criminal laws of the Hongwu period.

    Besides, he is your biological brother!  "

    After being shocked, Zhu Jianshen pulled Qiao Mu's clothes with some hesitation and persuaded him.

    Although the other officials did not speak, their minds were spinning rapidly, thinking about what was going on and why Concubine Wan Gui suddenly killed her relatives in such a righteous way. This is really abnormal. There cannot be any conspiracy.  ?

    While the officials were thinking and Zhu Jianshen was trying to persuade them to stop him, Qiao Mu suddenly smiled and said:

    "Your Majesty, don't worry. I'm not that cruel. I just said that he deserves to die, but I hope that Your Majesty can give Wanxi a chance to make amends."

    Since ancient times, there has been a custom of atonement with gold.

    Therefore, I propose that if someone commits the crime of unknown origin of a huge amount of assets, after all the unidentified assets are confiscated, the family of the criminal can hand over twice the amount of the unidentified assets to the national treasury as atonement.

    This way, the criminal can be punished and serve as a warning to others.

    It can also increase the revenue of the treasury.

    Why not do it?

    "So I hope your majesty will allow me to hand over 790,000 taels of silver to the national treasury to atone for my brother's sins. The origins of my silver are all fair and square, and it does not count as sinful silver. There should be no problem in using it."  "

    Qiao Mu made such a big fuss today with only one main core purpose, which is to add the crime of unknown origin of huge assets to the Ming Dynasty Law.

    And the crime of embezzling more than sixty taels of silver and peeling off the real grass during the reign of Emperor Hongwu was reinstated.

    The specific amount can be relaxed appropriately.

    But the penalty must be reinstated.

    It is not an easy task to collect the criminal evidence of all officials, but it is very easy to seize huge assets from their homes that they cannot tell the origin of. Even if they hide the assets, there are many ways to find them.

    As for double asset atonement.

    Which official's relatives can easily come up with twice the amount of their embezzled assets to atone for their sins? Even if they can do so, they have to make sure that the assets they take out are innocent. These two major problems are enough to make most people who have experienced corruption  Many officials.

    There is simply no way to atone and escape.

    As soon as Qiao Mu said this, Wanxi, who had been panicked before, immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He understood that his sister might just want to use him for something.

    His life can definitely be saved.

    Zhu Jianshen frowned for a while. Although he still couldn't figure out Qiao Mu's true intention, he believed that Qiao Mu would never make a loss-making transaction, and it should not be detrimental to him.

    So even if you don¡¯t understand, you will make a decision immediately:

    ¡°What Concubine Ai said is true. All Wanxi¡¯s assets were confiscated and a ransom of more than 700,000 taels was added.

    It is enough to offset the sin of Wanxi.

    "In addition, the crime of unknown origin of huge assets mentioned by the concubine is indeed very reasonable. Then write this crime and the need for atonement into the Ming Law, and put it on the first few pages.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Come, come, drive back to the palace!  "

    Zhu Jianshen knew very well the difficulties of these civil servants, and he also knew very well that what Qiao Mu did was definitely to target the civil servants in the future.

    He himself didn¡¯t quite understand the specific meaning, but he felt that these civil servants would definitely understand, so he didn¡¯t want to give these civil servants a chance to stop it, so he wanted to go back to the palace and change the Ming Law first.

    At the same time, many civil servants suddenly understood and immediately understood that the so-called crime of unknown origin of huge assets was aimed at them.

    For them.

    Officials who have definitely taken bribes.

    You must know that according to past practice, which is the practice from the reign of the late emperor to the present, even the Jin Yiwei cannot arbitrarily search their mansion without sufficient evidence to support it.

    And even if they are found guilty of corruption and bribery, as long as it is not excessive, at most they will be fined some money and resign and return to their hometown. During the reign of Emperor Hongwu, the situation of peeling off the skin after accepting bribes exceeding sixty taels of silver has long been a thing of the past.

    It is precisely because their lives are guaranteed that they will become more and more courageous, and they will gradually compete with the imperial power and want to realize the civil rule of the virtual monarch.

    It is also the so-called overhead royal family.

    They, the literati, completely controlled the government.

    "However, if this so-called crime of unknown origin of huge assets is really written into the Ming Law and strictly enforced, whoever the emperor sees will not??The military generals negotiated and gave those military generals an in-depth analysis of this crime after it was added to the Ming Law.

    A threat to their civil and military officials.

    The crime of huge amounts of property of unknown origin is obviously not only targeted at civil servants, but also against all people whose families have huge amounts of assets of unknown origin. Corruption and gray income, black income, are not only unique to civil servants, but also to military commanders, nobles, eunuchs, and even clan members.  Flow, in short, most of the ruling class' families are not clean, and it is impossible to explain the origin of their assets. Therefore, once this crime is written into the Ming Law, it will pose the same threat to them.

    After some deception and analysis by the civilian officials, the military officers and nobles also felt that this was not appropriate, and adhering to the idea that the law should not be held accountable, they soon joined the ranks of the civilian officials and wanted to stop the emperor.

    For a time, it was really a turmoil in the capital.

    That is because at this time, the civil and military officials did not dare to rebel, and only wanted to admonish Zhu Jianshen.

    No one dared to mobilize any private soldiers or troops.

    Otherwise, there are people who believe in Qingjun.

    Queen Mother Zhou also quickly learned about the relevant situation. While trying her best to appease her family members and some of the imperial wives who came to complain, she angrily asked Zhu Jianshen to see her, so that Zhu Jianshen must give her a reasonable explanation.

    At the same time, she was worried that her intimidation was not enough to suppress her adult son, so she sent someone to invite the royal Zongzheng over, preparing to cooperate with each other.

    We must let Zhu Jianshen get rid of all those inappropriate thoughts. If he continues like this, the court will be completely in chaos.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
