"Xianchen, as the name suggests, a wise minister.

In "Qunshu Zhiyao", Wei Zheng and Yu Shinan said it.

A good minister is - Liuzheng

The bad ministers are - six evils

"In the conduct of a minister, there are six righteousnesses that lead to glory, and six evils that lead to disgrace."

Six righteousnesses:

1. To be far-sighted and to take precautions before they happen, this is a "holy minister";

2. Be open-minded and dedicated, support good and eliminate evil, this is a "good minister";

3. Working hard at night and working hard to improve talents is a "loyal minister";

4. A wise minister can clearly understand success or failure and turn misfortunes into blessings; this is a wise minister;


6. Upright and upright, daring to criticize and remonstrate, this is a "straight minister". Update without error@

Six evils:

1. An official who is greedy for salary and does not do official business is called a "official minister";

2. To flatter a horse by flattering him or flattering him; this is called "flattering";

3. Clever words, flirtatiousness, jealousy of talents, this is a "female minister";

4. Having a sharp tongue and sowing dissension is called "slandering ministers";


6. Those who direct and stir up trouble behind the scenes are called "ministers of the country's subjugation."

Ask your conscience, among the hundreds of thousands of officials in the Ming Dynasty, how many of them are worthy of being ranked Sixth?

But how many of the six evils are there? "

"It's not about what you say, it's about how you do it. Of those officials who were betrayed by Donglin and were sent to lose their city and land, which one didn't say something heroic? Which one didn't say the right thing? The Ming Dynasty was loyal and loyal to the emperor?

But what about the result? "

"I am not a tyrant, because I will not kill people at will, but I am not an old fool either."

"For officials, I have doubled their salaries. The salaries of the masters and government servants they recruited are also paid by the court.

Moreover, I have also set up a pension system for officials. Even if officials retire, the court will also provide them with pensions.

If a generation of virtuous ministers unfortunately dies, the emperor must personally bury the virtuous minister in the capital. Isn't this good enough?

I punish those corrupt officials and dog officials very severely.

But are you becoming officials just to be dog officials or corrupt officials? If this is the case, then get rid of it early. If not, then do it well. The court will not treat anyone who has done meritorious service to the country, nor will it give up punishing anyone who harms the country. "

"Your Majesty even said that law is the foundation of a strong and stable country. However, in my opinion, the Ming Dynasty's laws are not fair at all."

Representative No. 2 took the microphone from Official No. 1 and said.

"What's the injustice?" Zhu Youjian asked.

"The law of the Ming Dynasty states that the higher the position and the more property, the heavier the punishment for turning over a case. Common people think this is unfair."

Official Representative No. 2 said.

"Let me ask you, what does one silver coin mean to an ordinary citizen? What does it mean to officials and those with great wealth?"

"For ordinary people, one silver coin is a month's living expenses. For officials, it may be just three days' salary. For those rich, it is just drizzle.

No law is perfect. In order to avoid unjust, false and wrongful convictions, the court was reforming and taking the power of judging cases out of the hands of county magistrates.

Tribunals are formed and trials are held.

Human nature is selfish, and those with money and power will definitely hire better lawyers, and they will even hook up with the judge. .
