The supervisor looked at the dark clouds in the sky and was shocked.
Since the Han Dynasty, Confucianism has emphasized the "response between heaven and man" and used changes in nature to restrain the unfettered emperor.
Natural changes often mean that the monarch loses his virtue.
For example, solar eclipse, earthquake, heavy snow, flood...etc.
But when the edict was just announced, it was still a sunny afternoon.
However, in just a moment, dark clouds enveloped the place and strong winds blew.
The flagpole on the school field was blown up and down!
The flag of the Ming Dynasty was being blown back and forth, as if it was nonsense.
This is no ordinary trend.
The supervisor was terrified, and the executioner was even more trembling on his legs.
Countless civilians with tears in their eyes watched while being blocked by soldiers.
"Look, it's cloudy!"
"The wind is coming!"
"This, this is an injustice!" Someone suddenly said.
"There was a famous drama about Dou E's Injustice in the former Yuan Dynasty. It was said that it was snowing in the sixth month. Today, Master Yu and all of you are beheaded, and it is also snowing in the first month!"
Yu Qian and others were beheaded in February, which is the first month of the lunar calendar.
At this time of year, it was supposed to snow.
So it is not too strange that it suddenly snows on a cloudy day.
But the people all understood that Dou E's injustice was only the injustice of one family, while Yu Qian's injustice was the injustice of a whole country.
The human heart is long.
As everyone knows, Yu Qian was originally the minister of the Ministry of War. He was ordered to take charge of the defense of the Four-Nine Cities under the orders of the Empress Dowager Sun, several eunuchs who were in charge of the battle, the Prince Consort, and Emperor Jingtai.
He raised military supplies, mobilized King Qin's army, and arranged generals to repel those ferocious Oara people.
Otherwise, it will be another big robbery.
The city was besieged, and the people were the unlucky ones.
The people's homes have no food left.
The people in the city work and eat every day.
Stop talking when your hands stop.
In this case, once the city is besieged, it will be a disaster.
And it will also be the most brutal elimination.
The old, weak, sick and disabled were the first to starve to death.
Then there are the poor.
Countless people are struggling on the line of life and death.
Fortunately, all this was solved by Mr. Yu.
The people were only frightened and not disturbed by the war.
But now the person who saved them is going to be pushed to the high platform of the school grounds and killed.
The words in the imperial edict are hard to understand.
Why do you want to establish a foreign vassal state? What kind of crime is this?
So many cruel princes do not punish, so many cruel officials do not arrest, but they arrest Mr. Yu, who is innocent in both sleeves. Even a person would feel unbearable.
After all, Yu Qian's family background is really clear.
Everyone knows it, both among scholars and among the common people.
Tens of thousands of citizens from Jiucheng City gathered around.
Everyone looked at everyone on the stage with tears in their eyes.
It’s not that others don’t want to come.
But the streets these days can only accommodate so many people.
No matter how many people there are, they can't squeeze in even if they want to.
What's more, there are soldiers blocking it.
Many people know that Yu Qian was wronged.
It is said that people are short-sighted and easily deceived.
In fact, people understand their own interests best.
The same executive was killed, but why do people hate Yuan Chonghuan?
Because he was responsible for the Liao affairs and received a large amount of military pay every year, he did not block the Qing army.
Let the Qing troops run to the walls of Sijiu City and plunder everywhere.
With so much military pay, you are not allowed to follow the enemy.
Yu Qian was just a minister of the Ministry of War. He was ordered to go out of the city to fight in the field and defeated Wa Ci.
The first battle to defend Sijiu City lasted for two days.
The Wala people saw that the Ming Dynasty still had the strength to defend the city, so they withdrew after testing it.
This also shows the determination of defending the city.
If the Ming Dynasty really stretched its hips like the Northern Song Dynasty, the other party would not give up.
This protects the interests of the majority of people.
So, the common people don’t know the details, but they can still see the big picture problems.
at the same time.
The great eunuch Cao Jixiang is supervising the execution himself.
Next to him is Xu Youzhen.
These two people were the two main culprits who contributed to Yu Qian's death.
Xu Youzhen was looking at Yu Qian proudly.
"Hmph, no matter how powerful you are, Xu Youzhen, aren't you going to die at my hands in the end?"
"That day, you were so majestic when you scolded me. But now that you are dead and your whole family has to be sent to the frontier, where is your majesty?"
"Hahaha!"
He gloated and laughed.
Everyone looked at this despicable villain with disgust.
Yu Qian remained silent and didn't say a word.
Don’t be afraid of being shattered into pieces, you must leave your innocence in this world.
"The time is coming, I will send you on your way immediately!" Xu Youzhen sneered.
Everyone was filled with indignation.
But there is nothing you can do about this villain.
After all, the other party is the emperor's new favorite, and Baozong, who has just regained his throne, trusts this person.
Of course, this person's fate will not be good either.
Only four months after the "Seize the Gate Incident" began, Xu Jue failed, and in July of the same year he was demoted to a civilian and exiled to Yunnan.
This is really deserved.
However, at this time, the dark clouds were getting heavier and heavier.
The weather is getting colder.
Many people were trembling.
It is winter at this time.
But the sudden dark wind and floating clouds still surprised people.
Xu Youzhen couldn't wait any longer.
"The time has come, let's carry out the execution quickly!"
The supervisor had no choice but to throw down the token.
At this time, the executioner reluctantly raised his sword.
Many people hid their faces.
Silent.
They are not spectators.
But facing the sharp weapon, he could only watch, unable to do anything.
At this time, General Fan Guang looked up at the sky and said angrily: "The sky is clear, the sky is clear."
Suddenly, heavy snow suddenly fell!
"Ah, it's snowing in the first month. It's unjust!" A scholar shouted.
After all, Yu Shangshu is truly a talented person among the elite.
He is a rare true Qingliu, completely different from those hypocritical people named Qingliu who actually own hundreds of thousands of acres of property.
at the same time.
It snowed heavily all over the palace.
And this time.
Mingbao Zong is sitting on the throne and is proud of himself.
He had just listened to Xu Youzhen's words and ordered to kill Yu Qian on the charge of "intending to rebel and establish a foreign vassal".
By killing Yu Qian, his own coup to seize the throne and the legitimacy of his throne were guaranteed and legal.
However, at this time, a minister said:
"Reporting to the Emperor, there was a sudden heavy snowfall, and within a short time in the palace, my knees were gone."
"This is truly unprecedented."
"This is the first month of the year, so it's not surprising to see snow." Mingbao Zong said casually.
The minister had nothing to say.
He wanted to say that maybe God would wait for a while after seeing that he was wronged.
But the emperor deliberately pretended not to understand the hint.
At this time, a stunned young man suddenly stood up and shouted: "It's snowing in the first month of the year, and God's will is not there, and there must be a strange injustice."
"Yu Qian, Minister of the Ministry of War, has not found any evidence of rebellion, so it is better to suspend the sentence temporarily."
Mingbao Sect suddenly became furious:
"What is God's will? I am God... I am the Son of Heaven, and God's will is on my side!"
"Why should I be afraid of God's will?"
He didn't finish his words.
Suddenly a thunder exploded!
Hit it directly above the court.
At that moment, the civil and military officials of the entire court were frightened to death!
This is thunder!
It’s normal for snow to fall during the first month of the year.
Is thunder normal in the first month?
Well, there are some, but too few.
At this moment, a royal guard hurriedly entered the hall, bowed his head and knelt down:
"Your Majesty, the school supervisor was struck to death by lightning!"
Everyone was immediately shocked.
Then another Jin Yiwei came in and knelt down:
"It's not good. Chief Assistant Xu Youzhen, Lord Xu, was also struck to death by lightning!"
"What?" Everyone was shocked.
After all, Xu Youzhen was a capable minister in controlling floods.
"No, Eunuch Cao was also struck to death by lightning!"
At this moment, those ministers were scared to death!
This is God himself striking people with thunder!
For a time, those who had participated in the murder of Yu Qian and many civil servants and military generals chose to retreat.
I want to hide deep in the hall.
But in fact, the Ming and Qing palaces were not big.
Ancient building foundations were placed there.
The wooden hall does not understand the principles of mechanics and cannot learn how to design a high dome, so it can only use a large number of columns to support it.
Therefore, the Forbidden City Palace, even the Zhengda Guangming Hall, is extremely narrow.
It is incomparable to modern auditoriums and conference halls.
So they have nowhere to hide.
Of course it's good for accommodation.
After all, it’s too big to clean and keep warm.
At this moment.
The capital is already boiling!
It is definitely an unprecedented thing to strike a treacherous minister with lightning.
Around the school grounds, the onlookers, the scholars, vendors, firewood sellers, and cloth sellers all knelt down one after another.
"Oh, thunder from heaven has never happened before to kill traitors and traitors!"
"When Grandpa Yue was killed by Qin Hui, he never heard that the sky was so tragic."
"Yes, it can be seen that Yu Shangshu has been moved to heaven!"
At this time, all the generals and civil servants who were about to be executed were crying loudly.
Fan Guang and the others burst into tears.
"The sky has eyes, the sky has opened its eyes!"
"Finally see our grievances!"
At this time, those people were searching the homes of Fan Guang and others.
Both the Jin Yiwei and the eunuchs were also struck by lightning one by one.
But they are very clever.
As soon as they saw thunder, they all immediately fell to the ground and shouted that they were wronged.
"The little one is also following orders. The little one has not harmed the loyal minister in the slightest!"
…………
The palace is in chaos!
The court is in chaos!
Never before!
Everyone's face was covered with sweat.
This is scary and humiliating.
Especially those in charge of the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Punishment.
They will be nailed to the pillar of shame.
It was because during their tenure, they failed to fulfill their teachings and uphold justice. As a result, thunder fell from the sky and killed the chief eunuch and the chief minister of the cabinet...
This is definitely going to be in the history books.
There is no way to prohibit it.
Because there are tens of thousands of people who can see it.
At this time, there is still a lot of news, which is being transmitted in all directions with carrier pigeons, fast horses, and canals.
After all, the thunder from the sky was so shocking.
Can the spies everywhere please spread the word?
At this time, the Minister of Rites had no choice but to risk his life to remonstrate.
"The thunder from heaven has killed the eunuch, Cao Jixiang, the chief eunuch, and Xu Youzhen, the chief minister of the cabinet... This is a warning of God's will!"
"I also ask the emperor to issue an imperial edict to the sinners immediately, and to go to the Temple of Heaven in person to pray, so that heaven can forgive my sins."
When the Mingbao Sect heard the news and saw Lei Lei, they were also frightened.
He was not a bold person to begin with.
If he had been bold, he should have fought to the death with the Wazi people.
At least it can leave a good reputation.
Instead of enduring humiliation to survive.
Later, he shamelessly came to seize the throne from his own son.
What he took away was not his brother's throne.
Because his younger brother Emperor Jingtai was seriously ill.
He had long since re-passed the position to his son Zhu Jianshen, later known as Xianzong, to wipe his ass.
If one person commits evil, three generations will not be able to wipe it clean.
At this time, Emperor Jingtai was already furious with him.
In the coffin.
Suddenly a thunder flashed.
Emperor Jingtai climbed out of the coffin...
At that time, more than a dozen eunuchs guarding the tomb were frightened to death!
Then he walked around confused.
There is no burial yet.
There was a coffin parked not far from the palace.
He wandered towards the palace.
Then I heard the news that Yu Qian was going to be killed.
He even reprimanded Shi Heng back then.
Shi Heng was reprimanded by Emperor Jing because he criticized Yu Qian.
They actually didn't believe in the telepathy they created.
But there is really no way to limit the power of the king.
That's why I came up with a divine connection.
Used to scare the emperor.
However, the emperor is not stupid.
The emperor also replaced himself with hundreds of officials.
For example, this was the case in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
When there is a natural disaster, one of the Three Lords will be deposed.
As a result, Sangong originally held great power, but now his position is unstable.
It became a false position, just an honorary position.
The Yang family of the fifth generation and the third generation, and the Yuan family of the fourth generation and the third generation were both deceived.
Wait until later.
Civil servants used the induction of heaven and humans to protect their own interests.
The most obvious one is Xue Guoguan, the chief minister of the cabinet who betrayed his own class and the proposer of the only life-saving method in the last years of Chongzhen.
He said that Your Majesty is levying a royal clan, and I am asking all the officials for money.
The results are great.
After only taking in one of the royal relatives, they found a way to kill Chongzhen's third child.
He also said that the gods were angry and that Chongzhen was not considerate of his relatives and wanted to take away his children.
So after Chongzhen's third child was frightened to death, he became afraid.
I can't keep doing things.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! And Xue Guoguan was hated by Chongzhen because of this, and he was subsequently impeached by hundreds of officials.
Then he was dragged out and executed.
The last chance to save the Ming Dynasty was lost.
At that time, there was no food and money everywhere. At that time, only the officials had money and fields.
The key is to have fields.
What was needed at that time was land that could produce food. Food was collected from the land to provide relief to the victims and quell civil unrest.
Without civil unrest, the Manchus would not have to think about entering the Pass.
And now.
Baozong looked at his close men in the hall.
Everyone was trembling, including Shi Heng and other warriors, who were also frightened to death.
After all, this is Tianwei.
These generals killed the most in their lives, but they feared God's will the most.
Because everyone knows that a person who is unlucky on the battlefield will die.
Therefore, those who go to the battlefield are the most superstitious.
No general dares to disrespect God.
Xiaobing may not be afraid of God.
Anyway, it's a death if you go up there.
"This is impossible. When Prince Yue was killed by Qin Hui, Prince Yue could only say that the sky was clear, but he didn't see anyone being killed by thunder!"
"Yes, Qin Hui was made king after the incident. He lived a good death and was reckoned with after his death."
Another minister was puzzled.
But at this time, even more terrifying news appeared.
"Oh my God, the dead Emperor Daizong is alive!"
"What, Emperor Jingtai is alive?"
Everyone couldn't believe it.
How many months have you been dead?
Doesn’t the body already stink?
Can this bring the dead back to life?
Some people have seen people come back to life. Most of them were during the period of cessation. Occasionally they were resurrected. In fact, they were put into coffins before they were completely dead.
At this time, someone came to report: "Emperor Jingtai's coffin dropped nectar from the sky, and he came back to life."
"He's walking towards the palace."
"What, Emperor Jingtai is here?"
The ministers felt that the world was in chaos.
The son is silent and his strange power confuses the gods.
But everything came.
Emperor Jingtai also had many confidants over the years.
At that time, the East Palace was changed, the son of the Baozong was removed from the crown prince position and replaced with his own son. It was because of them.
It's just that their confidants have long been cleared away.
Those orthodox scholars still think that he is just the emperor.
This is just a replacement.
You can tell from the posthumous name given.
Just replace.
Not a real emperor at all.
The emperor they really think of is Baozong.
This is the horror of etiquette.
It doesn't care about right or wrong, it only cares about order.
In the end, they are destined to be swept into the trash heap.
It seems stable, but it can only satisfy one family and one surname.
In order to be virtuous, we must not implement the idea that one family and one surname govern the world.
