Reader note
In the autumn of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, the defenders at Yingtian City Gate were checking people coming and going, when suddenly dust and smoke billowed in the distance. A dozen farmers, carrying hoes and sickles, walked quickly around a prison van. Tied to the railings of the prison van was a man in tattered official uniforms. His face was stained with blood, but his spine was still straight. "Stop!" Hengdao, the captain of the defenders, stopped him. "Who is being held in the prison car? How dare you break into the capital!" The leading farmer was named Chen Shouliu. His dark face was full of anger. He slapped a crumpled paper in front of the captain: "This man is Zhang Bingyi, the prefect of Fengyang! He withheld food for disaster relief and forced three old people in our village to death. We are going to take him to see His Majesty and file a complaint against him!" The captain glanced at Zhang Bingyi in the prison car, then glanced at the paper, and his expression suddenly changed - Fengyang is the land of Longxing, and the prefect is an important member of the court. A few farmers dared to escort the prefect into the capital. They are simply desperate! Just when he was about to call for help, Zhang Bingyi suddenly screamed in the prison car: "You dog slave! Why don't you arrest these anti-people? I am an official of the imperial court, and they dare to imprison me. This is treason!" Chen Shouliu was trembling with anger. He took a step forward and pointed at Zhang Bingyi: "You have the nerve to say that! Last year there was a flood in the Huaihe River, and you stole most of the relief food allocated by His Majesty! In our village, Old Man Li and his family starved to death because they had no food to eat! Corrupt officials like you should be cut into pieces!" More and more people gathered to watch, and some people whispered: "I heard that Magistrate Zhang and Hu Weiyong are from the same hometown, and the backstage is very tough. Chen Shouliu and the others are afraid that they will suffer." Some people sighed: "It is difficult to sue an official, let alone inform the government. They are throwing themselves into a trap." The school captain was afraid that things would get serious, so he was about to order arrests when suddenly the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance - the commander of the Jinyiwei, Jiang Wei, came galloping with a team of Jinyiwei. When he saw the battle, he reined in his horse and asked, "What's the fuss about?" Just as he was about to speak, he saw a petty official running up to him out of breath and whispering in his ear: "Sir, news just came from the palace. Your Majesty heard that someone was escorting Fengyang Magistrate to the capital. He asked you to take them there immediately. There must be no mistake!" Jiang Qi's pupils shrank and he did not dare to delay. He waved and said: "Bring the prison car and these farmers into the palace. Your Majesty will interrogate them personally!" When Zhang Bingyi heard the word "Your Majesty", his face instantly turned pale. His previous arrogance was gone, and he trembled and said: "Master Jiang, I was wrongly accused! These farmers were ordered by others to deliberately frame me!" But Chen Shouliu straightened his back: "We didn't frame him! We have evidence. We have brought the account books of Zhang Bingyi's corruption and perversion of the law!" The group soon arrived outside Fengtian Hall. Zhu Yuanzhang was already sitting on the throne wearing a dragon robe, his face frighteningly gloomy. Jiang Wei led Chen Shouliu and Zhang Bingyi in the prison car into the palace. As soon as Chen Shouliu entered the palace, he knelt down and held up the paper and account book: "Your Majesty! Chen Shouliu, a common man, on behalf of the people of Fengyang, sued Zhang Bingyi, the prefect of Fengyang, for withholding disaster relief food and forcing people to die. Please make the decision for us!" Zhang Bingyi fell to his knees with a thud and kowtowed repeatedly: "Your Majesty! I have been wronged! These farmers are rebels. They forged account books and deliberately framed me! Please investigate!" Zhu Yuanzhang did not look at Zhang Bingyi, his eyes fell on Chen Shouliu, and his voice was low: "You said that Zhang Bingyi withheld disaster relief food, is there any evidence?" Chen Shouliu quickly handed over the account book: "Your Majesty, this is the account book we found from Zhang Bingyi's warehouse. It clearly records how much relief grain he embezzled and how much benefit he gave to Lord Hu Weiyong! The grandson of Old Man Li in our village even saw Zhang Bingyi's people transport the grain and sell it!" The chamberlain presented the account book to Zhu Yuanzhang. When he opened it, his face became darker and darker. The account books are densely packed with details of corruption, and there is even a record of Zhang Bingyi giving gifts to Hu Weiyong. Not long after the Hu Weiyong case broke out, Zhu Yuanzhang was trying to uncover Hu Weiyong's accomplices, but Zhang Bingyi was caught in the crossfire! "Zhang Bingyi!" Zhu Yuanzhang slapped the case fiercely, and the dragon chair shook, "The disaster relief food I allocated to Fengyang is for you to help the people, but you dare to embezzle it! Do you know that Fengyang is my hometown, and those people are all my fellow villagers! If you force them to death, you are slapping me in the face!" Zhang Bingyi was so frightened that he fell to the ground and kept kowtowing: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I was confused for a moment, and I don't dare to do it anymore! I beg your Majesty, for the sake of following your Majesty for many years, please spare my life!" "Confused?" Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, "Why weren't you confused when you were corrupt and perverting the law? Hu Weiyong has fallen, and you still want to rely on him for support. You are really desperate!" He turned to look at Jiang Wei, "Send Zhang Bingyi to the sky prison, thoroughly investigate his party members, and don't let anyone involved in corruption go!" Jiang Wei stepped forward and was about to escort Zhang Bingyi away when Zhang Bingyi suddenly rushed towards Chen Shouliu like crazy and shouted: "You anti-people! It's all your fault! I'm going to kill you!" Chen Shouliu stepped back in fright. Seeing that Zhang Bingyi was about to pounce in front of him, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly shouted angrily: "Stop!" He stood up, pointed at Zhang Bingyi, and said with murderous intent in his voice: "Chen Shouliu is a good citizen who prays for the people. Whoever dares to hurt him will have his nine tribes punished!" Zhang Bingyi was held down by the Jin Yiwei and was still struggling: "Your Majesty! He is anti-people! He escorted the imperial officials into the capital. This is treason! How can you protect him?" "Conspiracy?" Zhu Yuanzhang walked up to Chen Shouliu and helped him up personally, "Chen Shouliu, you dare to risk beheading and escort corrupt officials to Beijing to complain. I admire your courage! You are not anti-people, you are a loyal minister! You are a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty!" Chen Shouliu was stunned on the spot, and tears suddenly flowed down: "Your Majesty... The common people just want to seek justice for the people. I didn't expect... I didn't expect that Your Majesty would really make the decision for us." "Since I came to the throne, I have always wanted to punish corrupt officials. Unfortunately, there are always those who are not afraid of death and dare to commit crimes." Zhu Yuanzhang patted Chen Shouliu on the shoulder. "Don't worry, I will not only severely punish Zhang Bingyi, but also reissue disaster relief grains so that the people of Fengyang can have enough to eat. Whatever rewards you want, just tell me." Chen Shouliu shook his head quickly: "Your Majesty, the common people do not want rewards. As long as Your Majesty can punish all the corrupt officials in the world and allow the people to live in peace, the common people will be satisfied." Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Chen Shouliu, his eyes full of approval: "Good! What a 'stable life'! I promise you that I will do my best to make the people of Ming Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment." He turned to his servant and said: "I will reward Chen Shouliu with a hundred taels of silver and ten acres of fertile land. Then send someone to escort him back to Fengyang and tell the people of Fengyang that I will not let them be wronged." Chen Shouliu quickly kowtowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your grace! Your Majesty is such a wise king!" When Zhang Bingyi was taken away, he was still crying: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I know I was wrong!" But Zhu Yuanzhang did not look at him again - he would never be soft on corrupt officials. Afterwards, Jiang Wei asked Zhu Yuanzhang in confusion: "Your Majesty, Chen Shouliu is just an ordinary farmer. Why do you value him so much and specifically issue an order to protect him?" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "Jiang Wei, you don't understand. The people are the foundation of the Ming Dynasty. If the people dare not speak and are oppressed by corrupt officials, then the Ming Dynasty will be unstable. Chen Shouliu dares to stand up, which shows that there are still people who trust me. If I don't protect him and chill the hearts of the people, who will serve me in the future?" Jiang Wei suddenly understood and bowed quickly: "Your Majesty is wise, I understand." Soon, the news of Zhang Bingyi's execution reached Fengyang, and the people cheered and praised Zhu Yuanzhang as a wise king. Chen Shouliu was respected by the people because he prayed for the people. After he returned to Fengyang, he used the silver and fertile land rewarded by Zhu Yuanzhang to help the people in the village build houses and plant crops, and their lives became better and better. Later, Zhu Yuanzhang also specifically issued an order that local governments should pay attention to the demands of the people. Anyone who complained to corrupt officials must not be blocked and must report truthfully. The story of Chen Shou, the sixth officer in charge of the imperial court, was also passed down orally by the people and became a good story in the Hongwu period. Many years later, there were old people telling this story to their children, saying: "If Chen Shouliu had not been courageous, and if His Majesty had not understood everything, the people of Fengyang would not have known how much suffering they would have suffered. We in the Ming Dynasty are so lucky to have such Your Majesty!" Zhu Yuanzhang's words of "hurt a hair of his, and kill your nine tribes" have also become the best proof in the hearts of the people that the emperor protects the people.
