In front of Pujiang County, the crowd of onlookers began to move towards the city gate.
After observing that the officers and soldiers did not stop them, these people were already lined up in a row like the tide of Qiantang. Liu Man and his three clansmen who were kneeling in front of the city gate were swept into the waves.
Zhu Yunxi silently took a step back and saw a piece of cloth falling with blood at his feet.
People need to vent.
The common people who have accumulated a snowstorm have already accumulated countless anger in their hearts. It is only because of helplessness and fear of power that they choose to be numb.
Now that someone has made the decision for them, with more powerful power standing behind them, they can choose to vent their anger to their heart's content.
Sun Cheng and Tian Mai led the people to stand behind the emperor's grandson, looking at the chaos in front of the city gate with some worry, fearing that these unruly people would rush into the emperor's grandson.
The secret guard man entrusted by the Crown Prince had already signaled the surrounding Haimen guards to be more vigilant.
I can't tolerate it any longer.
Zhu Yunxi, who witnessed how the people vented their anger, finally raised his hands. If he allowed these people to let go, there would be fewer heads on the city gate.
Sun Cheng and others, who had been prepared for a long time, immediately rushed forward and pushed the crowd away from the flesh and blood everywhere.
"The common people are guilty."
I don't know who shouted, and the victims knelt on the ground one after another and began to cry and howl.
"The sin is in my family."
"Now that the thieves have been eliminated, Zhejiang is clear and clear."
"In the future, everyone's life will be better and better!"
The victims thanked each other and claimed that they wanted to build a shrine for the emperor's grandson.
An emperor's grandson who cares about them wholeheartedly is enough for them to devote their whole life to worshiping him.
……
"The three most distant prefectures, Hengzhou, Chuzhou and Wenzhou, have now been thoroughly investigated and rectified."
"The three prefectures have uncovered one hundred and seventy-five criminal officials, and three hundred and ninety-six families of profiteers and evil gentry. All three clans have been executed, and nine clans are dispatching the Qin vassal to guard the border."
In the yamen of the Chief Envoy of Hangzhou Prefecture, Xia Yuanji, who was walking in the Wenhua Hall, held a writing book in his hand, frowning and reporting in a low voice.
I saw him twitching his nose from time to time, always feeling that the stench from the heads hanging on the city gate outside Hangzhou City floated into the yamen.
Ranwen
"The imperial court merged with the civil service department and selected upright candidates to report to all prefectures and counties in Zhejiang."
Zhu Yunxi, who had now taken off his big sheep coat and was only wearing a straight suit, walked down from the main seat and went to the corridor in front of the hall.
Outside, the green pines are lush and green, and the snow under the main pole has receded in the past few days, leaving only a shallow layer of transparent ice flakes.
Under the ice slices, only half an inch of the tender green grass tips are exposed.
"The heavy snow stopped, but fortunately it did not delay the rain. Otherwise, the spring plowing and mulberry production in Zhejiang Province this year would have been reduced."
Zhu Yunxi sighed as he looked at the scene in the courtyard where the spring spirit was quietly returning to life.
The snowstorm that started in Zhejiang Province last year came quickly and went away beyond everyone’s expectation.
Xia Yuanji took the brochure and walked out of the lobby behind the emperor's grandson. He chuckled: "These are all the virtues of the emperor's grandson. I am grateful to God."
Zhu Yunxi looked sideways at Xia Yuanji: "Do you believe this?"
Xia Yuanji smiled innocently: "The songs spoken by the people of Zhejiang Province today cannot be faked."
Zhu Yunxi suddenly felt helpless.
He beheaded Liu Man and a group of officials and gentry in Pujiang County, and hung their heads on the city gate. He also executed half of the officials in the Zhejiang Dao officialdom on suspicion of crime, and arrested and interrogated half of the gentry.
I don’t know when, but songs about him began to spread in Hangzhou City or Zhejiang Province.
It probably means that if the Ming Dynasty has a good emperor and grandson, the world will be at peace.
"It's half a Zhejiang road, and it seems that it's not bad to change it to a ballad." Zhu Yunxi said with a chuckle.
Xia Yuanji's mouth froze.
His expression gradually became serious and worried.
"You also know that it is half of Zhejiang Road."
"You have cut down half of Zhejiang Road. The people are grateful, erect temples, and sing songs. But I am afraid that there will be a lot of impeachment in the court soon. There is no way you will be recalled soon."
It is in accordance with God’s will.”
Zhu Yunxi smiled silently.
Beheading is very simple. Even for the three tribes of Yi and the nine tribes involved, it is just a matter of issuing an order.
But it is not a simple matter that half of Zhejiang Road was chopped down until it bleeds like a river.
Five of the chief envoys, inspectors, and generals of Zhejiang Province had their heads chopped off.
If we use a simpler meaning to explain and describe the summary.
It was Zhu Yunxi who beheaded five high-ranking officials in Zhejiang Province this time.
After thinking about it, Zhu Yunxi thought that a long time ago, he could only see such high officials from various news.
Not to mention those county and city officials that ordinary people could not achieve even after a lifetime of hard work, that is, the current prefectures and county magistrates of the Ming Dynasty, dozens of them were also cut down.
And those who are officials and government officials are even more extraordinary.
If such a thing were to be seen in future generations, the whole world would probably be boiling and shocked.
Nowadays, he didn't need to think about how the court would react.
"As far as the common people are concerned, what I did alone is not wrong." Zhu Yunxi made a self-evaluation of his actions and continued: "As far as the Ming Dynasty and the court, as well as you and me, only by eliminating these people can we
Leave room for you and me to manipulate."
Zhu Yunxi always made a clear distinction between offending officials and offending the people.
Today is not the former Tang Dynasty, nor the former Song Dynasty. At that time, the imperial power did not share the world with the nobles, nor did it share the world with the scholar-bureaucrats.
Emperor Hongwu, the founder of the Ming Dynasty, had already stated in his ancestral precepts that the Ming Dynasty was the Ming Dynasty of the Zhu family and the people of the Ming Dynasty.
Officials, gentry, and merchants are not included in this list.
It's just that the monarchs of later generations shamefully forgot this, and the so-called ancestral laws extracted by those officials were unchangeable, and they were imprisoned one after another.
Xia Yuanji thought for a while, and in the dilemma, taking the people was the wisest choice at this time, so he gave up the long-prepared draft.
He changed his mouth and said: "The Qingtian Order has been issued. At this time, Governor Tang and the officers and soldiers of the guard station are watching personally. I don't dare to have any further backlash.
Businesses in all prefectures and counties have announced the amount of commercial tax, and businesses have opened directories to register the proportion of commercial tax.
At present, as long as the number of acres in the land clearing order is clear, we can implement it together and start collecting taxes and commercial taxes."
Zhu Yunxi nodded: "Indulging Liu Man's arrogance, uprooting them and completely eradicating them, is why these things are happening now. The government and the gentry must be integrated into the family, and it must be done without compromise. Business tax cannot be less.
Whoever is missing will be held accountable."
Zhejiang Road is an experimental field, a place where the old man and his father are always watching, hoping to see results.
Zhu Yunxi would never allow it. After killing half of Zhejiang Road, these things ended in vain.
He immediately said in a deep voice: "The reason why I brought you out of the capital is for this matter. As long as Tang Li is here, just go ahead and do it."
Xia Yuanji pondered, and was about to nod, but suddenly stopped, raised his head and said: "It's easy to say that the family is divided into two families, but the officials and gentry are one and the same... This has a bearing on the world and the affairs of the officials and gentry of the whole dynasty. Grandson
