Chapter 721: Implicated in digging up graves and expelling family members
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed.
But it's not that I feel sorry for him, or I mean to show mercy to Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others.
He just couldn't figure it out.
Even if the government is in turmoil and there are endless fights inside and outside the court, these people have thousands of ways to do it, but why do they choose the one of colluding with the enemy?
He couldn't think more clearly.
Why is the country like this and the people like this, but these people are always unwilling to give up those interests and benefits.
I can't understand, I can't think clearly.
So at this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang became even more determined. Since he could not completely eradicate corrupt officials in the court, he had no choice but to carry out the killing method to the end.
But before that, he wanted to know what these people were thinking.
In the Temple of Heaven, there was complete silence.
The wind seemed to be getting stronger at this time, blowing the flags one after another, making a whirring sound.
And outside the Temple of Heaven.
People started to move.
The people who were originally persuaded to evacuate because of the explosion on Temple of Heaven Street were scattered across the entire north bank of the Qinhuai River.
Zhang Daniu lives in the jurisdiction of Jiangning County, Yingtian Waicheng.
It's at the bend of the river east of the university grounds.
Early this morning, Zhang Daniu and his family rushed to Tiantan Street, and before there were many people there, they locked their position on the roadside of Tiantan Street.
When the explosion occurred, Zhang Daniu was across the street not far away.
Fortunately, Zhang Daniu's family was not affected by the explosion, but the younger ones were a little frightened. Fortunately, with the protection and help of officers and soldiers, they temporarily followed the crowd and evacuated to the south of Shengtang, near the bank of the Qinhuai River.
The shore was open, and under the protection of officers and soldiers, a large number of people who had previously been watching on Temple of Heaven Street gathered.
Zhang Daniu looked at the anxious villagers on the shore, and then looked at the Temple of Heaven in the northeast.
He gritted his teeth and climbed to a big tree on the shore under the urgent stops of the officers and soldiers.
"Folks!"
"Folks!"
"Everyone be quiet!"
Zhang Daniu was shouting from the tree, and the officers and soldiers were under the tree to persuade him to come down.
Immediately, people on the shore were attracted to look over.
The crowd gradually became quiet.
Zhang Daniu lowered his head and glanced at the officers and soldiers under the tree, then raised his head and shouted loudly: "Everyone, listen to me! We also saw the explosion on the street before, it was the explosion caused by the group of wole rats.
Why did the Wolverine do this? It was to assassinate our Majesty, the Prince, and the Grand-grandson!
In the past few years, our family's life has become much better. Not only can we have enough to eat, but we can also work in the factory to make money. I, Zhang Daniu, have had a son in the past two years.
This is all the kindness of Your Majesty and others! Now someone wants to assassinate Your Majesty and prevent us from having a good life. Can we agree?"
Zhang Daniu stood on a tree branch, with his hands on the branches on both sides, shouting at the top of his lungs.
The officers and soldiers who were about to climb up the tree to get him down suddenly looked at each other for a few times and then stood still silently.
This guy doesn't seem to be causing trouble.
The officers and soldiers remained silent and watched what happened.
But the people on the shore roared loudly.
"cannot!"
"Whoever dares to assassinate Your Majesty, we will skin him for Your Majesty!"
"We must not let anyone ruin our good life!"
"..."
On the tree branch, Zhang Daniu took a deep breath and continued to shout: "We all saw clearly just now that those people wearing official robes were captured by the Jin Yiwei behind the imperial chariot on the spot. We in Yingtian City
There have been no Wole rats in two years, and I, Zhang Daniu, thought that it must be this gang of scoundrels who secretly colluded with the Wole Rats to cause such misfortune!"
"Skin them!"
"Skinned!"
"Skinned!"
"..."
The crowd on the shore erupted into waves one after another.
The sound was so loud that it shocked the water of the Qinhuai River below the bank to cause ripples.
Zhang Daniu finally shouted: "Yes! No! If everyone is willing, let's go to the Temple of Heaven now and help His Majesty vent his anger! Skin those officials who are trying to steal everything!"
"Skin it off!"
"Skin it off!"
"..."
Along the Qinhuai River, there are no longer businesswomen singing songs in the backyard across the river, only the common people who are angered by corrupt officials.
And in the Temple of Heaven.
Sit on the high platform in the north.
Wang Jun's face was red and swollen, his eyes were squeezed into slits, and his mouth was full of blood. He could only make a low sound from his throat, humming with resentment.
Zhao Mian, who was beside him, slowly raised his head.
Those eyes were already bloodshot.
He looked at Zhu Yuanzhang sitting on the throne, and then at Zhu Biao standing in front of another throne.
Finally, Zhao Mian looked at Zhu Yunxi who was placed under the steps in front of the throne.
Zhao Mian took a deep breath, straightened his chest, and his neck was congested with veins.
"Hunjun!"
Zhao Mian, who was kneeling on the ground, held his head high and roared angrily, waving his hands to the three descendants of the Tian family who were standing up and down the stairs.
“In the thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, countless ministers and workers worked together to put an end to the chaos that occurred in the first century BC.
In the early days of the country, people's livelihood was withered and all industries were ruined. At that time, His Majesty was wise and promoted virtuous people in the countryside to help the country in the early days of the country.
However.
At the beginning of the 13th year of Hongwu's reign, our Ming court experienced the Hu Weiyong case, the Guo Heng case, and the Kongyin case. For more than ten years, the civil and military officials in the court had no peace of mind, and their governance was shrinking.
The villagers in the countryside are ignorant, but the squire teaches the common people with knowledge.
But there was an edict written in the court, saying that the so-called New Deal robbed the people of their wealth and enriched the national treasury in vain.
The country is rich, but the people are hungry and cold.
The king's ears are covered by traitors, and no honest words can enter his ears.
Since the time of the Three Sovereigns and the Five Emperors, we should never abandon the teachings of kings.
This dynasty inherited the orthodoxy of the Central Plains from the previous Song Dynasty, but it only resulted in countless more killings. The officers and soldiers slaughtered the ignorant barbarians with strong cannons and sharp blades, thinking of military merit, causing rivers of blood to flow outside the territory.
Millions of people died in the southern region, and all tribes in the eastern sea were wiped out.
There are so many evil deeds that it is difficult to write about them! Above the history of history, the ink pen must be used.
Our Ming Dynasty is self-determined by the gentry. The entire dynasty only cares about money and silk, and is exploited without restraint. It engages in military warfare and fights in the north and south, so that the people have no time to rest and live. They are tyrannical, killing from all directions, and all countries outside the region sneer at them. They give authority lightly, and children take power and run rampant in the country.
The city is moving up and down, and everything is involved. Officials are appointed in the court, and women are in charge, causing turmoil in Yin and Yang, and chaos in the country.
What crime did the billions of people in the Ming Dynasty commit?
What kind of crime is there in the world?”
In the Temple of Heaven, apart from the sound of the wind and the unknown and approaching movement, there was only Zhao Mian's hoarse roar again and again.
Zhao Mian is crazy!
At this moment, a thought came to everyone's mind.
However, Zhao Mian seemed to have opened a floodgate.
"Hunjun!"
"At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, the monarch and his ministers were in harmony, and the country was peaceful. However, within thirty years, traitors and sycophants began to hide their ears. Women in the court were appointed as officials, and there were countless local exploitations. All the people mourned, and hundreds of officials mourned."
"Foolish King! For several years you have not thought about bringing things right, but today you are willing to give way to the world. There cannot be two tigers in the mountain of ignorance, and there cannot be two emperors in the country."
"At this time of turmoil, all wise men in the world should be determined to die, clear the emperor, and return the world..."
Snapped!
Amidst Zhao Mian's continuous roar, a crisp sound interrupted his roar.
Only after the sound stopped did everyone see clearly.
Beside Zhao Mian, Zhu Shangbing was standing with a sarcastic face, stroking his sleeve with his left hand and slowly turning his right wrist.
"I bother!"
Zhu Shangbing completely ignored etiquette and spat in Zhao Mian's face.
Zhao Mian was really going crazy now.
"you……!"
Snapped!
This situation is just like not long ago.
Zhu Shangbing's originally rotating wrist used his palm to hit Zhao Mian's face again.
In the blink of an eye.
Zhao Mian became like Wang Jun next to him, his face was red and swollen, his eyes were slitted, and blood was flowing from his mouth.
"Pooh!"
Zhu Shangbing took a deep breath, exerted one final force, and spat in Zhao Mian's face again.
This time, a ball of thick phlegm spit out from Zhu Shangbing's mouth and hit Zhao Mian hard on the face, but it actually hit his eyes that were already swollen into slits.
All this happens at the snap of a finger.
When people reacted, Zhao Mian had already raised his head to the sky and let out a sharp roar.
Zhu Gaochi looked helpless, and was also stunned by Zhu Shangbing's actions just now.
After a while, he calmed down and silently stepped forward to pull this idiot aside.
But on the throne, Zhu Yuanzhang was silent the whole time.
After Zhu Shangbing was taken away by Zhu Gaochi, only Zhao Mian and Wang Jun were left on the scene, who could only make a humming sound in their throats.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the two people who had turned into pig heads indifferently, then turned his eyes away and glanced at the princes and ministers present.
"Many people died today, all of whom were innocent people of our Ming Dynasty. The Japanese who committed the murders were executed on the spot, but it was these people here who instigated this matter. Please discuss it. According to the laws of our Ming Dynasty, I, this foolish king, How to convict someone?"
Bang.
All the princes and ministers present knelt on the ground.
Chief Assistant Ren Hengtai's lips trembled, he raised his head and cupped his hands and said: "Zhao Mian is a traitor and roars wildly. In the thirty years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Yuan thieves have been expelled and orthodoxy restored. This is a great merit of the country. Now our dynasty, under the Hongwu New Deal, is working hard to govern. The people are getting richer and richer day by day. Your Majesty's merits are enough to be crowned the top of Mount Tai, and you can be called a holy king!"
After saying that, Ren Hengtai wished he could eat the crazy Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others alive right now.
The princes and ministers also kept shouting.
No one dared to really let the emperor remember the word "faint emperor" mentioned by the arrogant Zhao Mian.
If the emperor is a coward, wouldn’t they be traitors?
Gao Yangzhi stood up slowly at this time, cupped his hands and fists, bowed and nodded, and took a few steps forward.
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others committed various things this time.
First, roaring in front of the Holy Spirit is a great rebellion.
Secondly, feeding Japanese people is a great rebellion.
Third, killing the people is a great rebellion.
Fourth, spreading rumors about the royal family is a great rebellion.
Fifth, fabricating a clan is a great rebellion.
Sixth, assassinating a holy chariot is a great rebellion.
Seventh, corrupting state affairs is a great rebellion.
The crimes committed by everyone from Zhao Mian to Wang Jun and below are all treasonous crimes and should be beheaded! Everyone involved, regardless of master or subordinate, will be beheaded!"
Gao Yangzhi, who was in the cabinet and in charge of the Three Law Departments, instantly told what Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others had committed one by one, and the final verdict was even more murderous.
However.
Gao Yangzhi never stopped.
He just glanced at the emperor who was no longer paying attention to Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others on the throne, and then glanced at the prince and grandson.
The high posture will bend a little deeper.
"In the thirty-one years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there has never been such a traitor. I believe that he should be severely punished to serve as a warning to others and to shock the world."
"Zhao Mian's disciples keep saying they are for the Ming Dynasty, but all they do is for personal gain."
"I would like to report your majesty's permission to make it clear to the world. This time, Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others will be executed! All three clans will be killed! The six clans were assigned to each other, and the Ming Dynasty records were eradicated, and the ancestral temple script books were wiped out. , ban written records, dig up their ancestors’ graves and destroy them!”
Above the Temple of Heaven, there was silence for a while.
The wind has stopped, but no one is no longer numb in the back, sweating like rain, and shaking in the heart.
Even Zhu Yuanzhang, who was looking around at the princes and ministers present, had no choice but to look at Gao Yangzhi, who was petitioning.
Gao Yangzhi also went crazy.
Everyone looked away from Gao Yangzhi.
According to the invitation of the youngest cabinet minister of the Ming Dynasty.
From then on, Zhao Mian, Wang Jun and others and their relatives of the six ethnic groups did not exist in the Ming Dynasty.
In this world, these people have never appeared from the beginning.
Even though Zhao Mian just said that the three major cases in the early ten years of the Republic of China were implicated in countless cases, they did not wipe out the existence of those people and everything.
Even in the history books thousands of years later, there is probably only one record that in the 31st year of Hongwu in the Ming Dynasty, there were treacherous ministers who conspired to rebel on the day when the emperor abdicated, but no one would know who these people were.
"Uh-huh!"
"Uh huh huh!"
"…………"
Zhao Mian and Wang Jun stared at Gao Yangzhi's back angrily with their eyes wide open, and then looked at Zhu Yuanzhang who had ignored them, with a look of begging for mercy in their eyes.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! The officials in Yingzhou who participated in this incident together with Zhao Mian and Wang Jun knocked their heads heavily on the ground and kept pleading. .
Death, even if he is implicated, is just what he deserves.
But if they dig up their graves and remove their records, even in the history books, no one knows about their existence, and no one even curses their names.
Zhu Biao, who was standing in front of the throne on the steps, looked back at the old man, then turned around and waved his sleeves to look at Gao Yangzhi.
"Drag these... down and behead them."
No matter how it is dealt with in the end, it is impossible for these people to survive.
The royal guards who were guarding the high platform immediately took orders, rushed forward, and dragged **, ** and others off the high platform.
For a time, there were no cries of injustice, but countless cries for mercy.
It’s just that no one cares about these sounds anymore.
Everyone clearly averted their eyes and did not look over there.
Jin Yiwei had walked farther and farther, and was under a low wall opposite the high platform.
At this moment, Zhang Daniu had already rushed over with the people.
"Skin it off!"
"Skin it off!"
The shouts shook the sky.
When Zhang Daniu and the others saw that they were being held under the wall by the Jinyi guards and showed their knives, these people actually rushed in.
In an instant, **, ** was already surrounded by the people. With a dazzling effort, countless pieces of cloth were flying in the air, and then blood spattered from the crowd, and pieces of limbs and pieces of meat were thrown are everywhere.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, and officers and soldiers immediately rushed over, preparing to separate the crowd and maintain order.
At this time, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gao Yangzhi.
