He was not only Qin Hui's mentor,
Or perhaps it's better to recommend Qin Hui, the patron of Kao Maoke.
This allowed Qin Hui to transform from a professor at the state school into an official at the Imperial Academy.
Chapter 1848 Unforgivable Crimes
Without Zhai Ruwen's support,
It's estimated that Qin Hui is still languishing in local positions.
Such a close relationship,
Qin Hui actually betrayed him.
He openly disagreed with Zhai Ruwen.
As for the various gazes cast upon him by his ministers
Qin Hui simply chose to ignore it.
He has figured it out.
He had a past relationship with the emperor.
He was born in the same year as the emperor.
They should have declared their stance and joined the imperial party long ago.
Although I will definitely be the target of everyone's criticism today,
But gaining the emperor's favor is worthwhile.
Moreover, many ministers chose to remain silent.
Among them were a large number of emperors and their confidants.
He can definitely befriend these people in the future.
A smile appeared on Zhao Yuan's face.
But that smile was rather strange.
Zhao Yuan shifted his position.
Send a signal.
Minister of Revenue Qian Chen immediately stood up.
"What Minister Qin says is absolutely right,"
"Now, in all provinces, prefectures, states, and counties across the country,"
"There are dozens or even hundreds of types of gold, silver and copper coins."
"In Zhejiang, there are even coins worth twenty coins,"
"It was cast after that tyrannical emperor fled to Hangzhou."
"The quality of currency varies greatly,"
"We dare not abolish it abruptly yet,"
"We can only gradually replace it with new money..."
Qian Chen became more and more excited as he spoke.
"The family is short of money and struggling to make ends meet."
"A country lacking money is impoverished and weak."
"My Great Ming Dynasty desires to be strong and prosperous,"
"The currency system must be reformed,"
"And silver dollars are of paramount importance."
"If this case is not severely punished, it may endanger the nation."
"Only by exterminating their three clans,"
"Only then will the world remember them,"
"Let even a three-year-old understand the principles!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hui
I felt instantly at ease.
He made the right bet this time.
The emperor had indeed made arrangements in advance.
Chen Dong stood up to refute him.
"The counterfeit silver dollar case must be severely punished,"
"No ministers objected."
"Today's discussion is whether or not the entire family should be exterminated."
"Executing only the father's family would demonstrate the authority of the imperial laws."
"Why involve his maternal and paternal families?"
The ministers all nodded in agreement.
That's what they really think.
After all, it was the emperor who ordered the severe punishment.
Who would want to clash with the emperor?
Exterminating three generations of their families is simply too much.
It challenged everyone's psychological limits.
Moreover, they are afraid of it becoming the norm!
In case I become law-abiding and respectful in the future
They did nothing wrong.
But in a daze,
The son-in-law was sentenced to have his entire family executed.
All the male members of his family must be buried with him.
Who will we be able to reason with then?
Qin Hui looked at Chen Dong, who had spoken eloquently.
While admiring him,
And with a hint of disdain:
This person is indeed a madman.
He was the emperor's confidant, yet he opposed the emperor.
Zhai Ruwen coordinated with Chen Dong to provide firepower.
"May I ask, Your Majesty?"
"Counterfeiting currency isn't even considered one of the ten heinous crimes,"
"If we were to exterminate their entire clan..."
"How should the ten heinous crimes be punished?"
Zhao Yuan declared unequivocally: "To privately mint coins is tantamount to treason!"
As soon as this statement came out, the officials were in an uproar.
The ten most heinous crimes,
The first one is treason!
The second charge is treason.
They destroyed the emperor's family temples, ancestral tombs, palaces, and dragon veins, among other things.
The third is treason.
That is, treason.
Zhao Yuan finally stood up.
Turning around, he surveyed the assembled officials.
"Are you going to plead for those who are plotting rebellion?"
Zhai Ruwen said, "I have never heard of privately minting coins being tantamount to treason."
"That will be it from now on,"
Zhao Yuan said,
"As long as the Ming Dynasty continues,"
"The unauthorized manufacture of coins shall be punished as treason!"
.....
Wen Huanzhang sat in the head seat of the class.
The eyes look at the nose, the nose looks at the heart,
It felt as if I were wandering in a dream.
Don't be fooled by his indifferent appearance,
As the prime minister, he actually thinks about the most.
In Wen Huanzhang's view,
The emperor is using this opportunity to establish his authority!
At this time last year,
The emperor had just ascended the throne.
The emperor, however, held military power.
Therefore, the ministers listened to the emperor more.
In just one year,
The basic system has been established.
The imperial court also began to function effectively.
The ministers have all adapted to the cabinet system.
Therefore, everyone centered their attention around the emperor.
At least on the surface, that's how it is.
Gradually, I stopped thinking about the emperor's special qualities.
The law that punishes the entire family of three for privately minting coins
It was also made by the emperor.
Now, surprisingly, he is being opposed by the court officials.
What would the emperor think from his perspective?
Your perspective is determined by where you stand.
Wen Huanzhang was like that.
The focus is completely different.
Wen Huanzhang did not pay attention to the counterfeit silver dollar case.
