In the nineteenth year of Hongwu, there were severe droughts for many years, and people died of hunger all over the land.
In order to save millions of victims, Lu Changfeng, the seventh-rank censor, misappropriated the prince's internal funds to build his palace. He was thrown into death row by Zhu Yuanzhang and executed at the Meridian Gate!
On the day of execution, not only did he not beg for mercy, but he went to the palace carrying a thin-skinned coffin to beg for mercy!
"The civil servants use a tael of silver to peel off the skin and pick out the grass, while the prince breaks bones and sucks out the marrow in the fiefdom and is safe and sound?"
"The law of the Ming Dynasty only kills outsiders and not the Zhu family?!"
"This Ming Dynasty is the slaughterhouse of your Zhu family, or the world of everyone in the world!"
After a scolding, all the officials were frightened. Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he vomited blood and ordered him to be beheaded on the spot!
However, the next day morning.
Lu Changfeng, whose head was supposed to be missing, stood intact in the center of the court: "I didn't finish scolding you yesterday, I will continue scolding you today!"
The whole place was dead silent. Lao Zhu's scalp was numb and he fell down on the throne.
Lingchi, car cracks, skinning... Lu Changfeng died again and again, but was resurrected crazily.
Finally, Emperor Hongwu, who had been decisive in killing all his life, completely collapsed.
Lao Zhu hugged Lu Changfeng's coffin and burst into tears: "Grandpa Lu, I beg you not to die! I will cut off the feudal clan today. Can't I change it?"
