Chapter 363 After all, it was Zhu Laosi who took the blame [Please subscribe]
October of the 16th year of Chongzhen.
Zhu Youjian took the old eunuch Wang Chengen out of Qianqing Palace and came to the square outside.
After all, the three ancestors came with their soldiers and horses, and the Qianqing Palace could not accommodate so many people!
While waiting, Zhu Youjian was in a good mood and had the illusion of being invincible.
So what if the civil servants are corrupt, what if the generals are timid and fearful of death, what if rebels occupy several provinces, what if Wu Sangui defies his will, what if the Tatars invade after the Jin Dynasty, what if the Ming Dynasty is about to overthrow?
I joined the Ming Emperor Alliance chat group, with Emperor Taizu from the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm as the group leader and Emperor Taizong as a group friend, so I didn’t panic at all.
As long as the army comes and kills these treacherous ministers like dogs, everything will be no problem for now.
"this"
Seeing the emperor's abnormal behavior, all the officials were paralyzed.
You could say that the emperor was crazy. His eyes were clear and clear, and it didn't look like he was going crazy.
If you want to say that he is not crazy, he talks so much about Taizu and Chengzu that it is simply unreasonable.
"Letting the right people do the right things is what a qualified monarch should do."
The kings of Han and Zhao also came forward to pay their respects.
Zhu Qizhen took his 10,000 troops and ransacked homes throughout the capital, inspecting the residences of hundreds of officials and wealthy businessmen.
"If you want us to deal with it, we will punish the nine tribes. The main culprit will peel off the grass, all the men of the nine tribes will be beheaded, and the women will serve as soldiers!"
Zhang Jinyan, the Minister of the Ministry of War, Wu Guan, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and other officials who were famous on the list saw this and all prostrate themselves on the ground.
After saying that, he left the square and began to give orders.
According to incomplete statistics, as many as 150,000 corrupt officials and their relatives were killed in these thirty-one years.
There are four dragon chairs placed above, lined up in a row.
But why do we dream about Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu?
Shouldn't it be the beautiful girl who dreamed about the house?
It’s simply poisonous!
Ling Yiqu of Dali Temple hanged himself;
Needless to say, Zhu Qizhen, the Yingzong, the God of War of the Ming Dynasty, and the foreign student from Wala;
Seeing the three ancestors coming, Zhu Youjian knelt down with a plop and paid homage.
Judging from his clothing, this place should be probably the Ming Dynasty?
"Rumble"
"sigh"
"Your Majesty, Taizu, Chengzu, Yingzong, inspected Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the cabinet, and obtained 200,000 taels of silver, five houses in the capital, 12 shops, three manors outside the city, and 18,000 taels of fine farmland in the suburbs of the capital. Thousand acres, eighteen boxes of antiques, calligraphy, paintings, and jewelry, totaling 1.8 million taels of silver."
Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji is also very famous, known as the Cricket Emperor;
The Han king Zhu Gaoxu, Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui, Cheng Guo Gong Zhu Yong, British Duke Zhang Fu and others who followed Zhu Di also looked shocked.
Wei Xuelian, a common scholar, committed suicide;
As the saying goes, don’t use people you doubt, but don’t use people you trust!
Li Banghua, the censor of Zuodu, committed suicide by drowning;
Did you see, here comes the person who helps me support the scene.
A streak of colorful light fell straight down, turning into a bright light door.
Zhu Di is a war madman, a general is better than an emperor;
Renzong Zhu Gaochi loved food and was known as a food expert;
Four emperors, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Chengzu Zhu Di, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and Chongzhen Zhu Youjian, sit on the dragon throne.
Wu Ganzhong, a member of the Hubu family, committed suicide;
The white gold and silver, the brilliant gold, actually piled up into hills.
Putting the right people in the right positions is enough!
After confiscating the house, the next step was to resist Li Zicheng and help Chongzhen reorganize the country.
"Rumble"
"Tap tap tap tap."
The sixteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the fourth emperor Zhu Di, are more bizarre than the last.
Then, His Majesty turned his hand and summoned a door of light, leading them in.
"Erect another 'Treacherous Minister's Monument' and write the 'Treacherous Minister's Biography', and spread it throughout the world to serve as a warning to others and future generations!"
Shizong Zhu Houcong, a famous emperor who cultivated immortals, did not go to court for twenty-two years;
Mu Zong and Zhu Zaihe were addicted to women and died on a woman’s belly in the end;
Damn it!
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youjian and said: "First, gather the soldiers and horses of the major battalions in the capital as soon as possible, select the best ones and keep them, and abandon the weak ones and drive them away."
We must have not woken up, we are still dreaming!
His Majesty Hongwu, who has been dead for more than ten years, is actually resurrected?
In the end what happened?
Fortunately, Zhu Qizhen appointed himself general and led 10,000 troops, and did not bring the British Duke Zhang Fu.
Ministers: "."
The censor Chen Liangmo and his family committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well;
Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the cabinet, was ashen-faced and knelt down.
Shenzong Zhu Yijun, who is comparable to Jiajing, also did not go to court for twenty years;
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and gritted his teeth.
"hiss"
Zhu Youjian felt his eyes go dark, and a few words burst out from between his teeth, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.
A flash of knife light flashed and the tongue in his mouth was cut off.
"Third, select officials to fill vacancies."
Looking at this familiar yet unfamiliar area, the stranger in the dragon robe, and the civil and military officials behind him.
"My grandson pays homage to his great ancestor, great grandpa!"
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said calmly.
Zhu Di, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Youjian were all stunned.
The literati advocated cultivating one's moral integrity, regulating one's family, governing the country, and bringing peace to the world, and all they wanted was reputation.
In addition, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world encountered the Little Ice Age, which had not been seen in thousands of years, and the weather became even colder.
What is the concept of sixty-one million taels?
The year in which the treasury revenue of the Ming Dynasty was the highest was the 30th year of Wanli, when the total revenue reached 23 million taels.
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Di rushed forward with a knife.
Zhu Di and Zhu Qizhen also quickly saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.
Could it be
Are they really Taizu and Chengzu?
If you don’t do a good job, you will take the blame!
Some officials Xu Zhi committed suicide by drowning;
When his footsteps stepped on the square, the light gate turned into dots of brilliance and disappeared.
"My grandson Gao Xu (Gao Sui) pays homage to Grandpa Huang!"
"Search."
Taking the list sent by the soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang asked expressionlessly.
There was Ni Yuanlu, the Minister of Hubu and a lecturer, and all thirteen members of his family hanged themselves;
They were righteous and heroic, died for their country heroically, died calmly, and died for their country for the fall of the Ming Dynasty.
"Grandfather Taizu is right, their nine tribes should be destroyed, and they should be infamy for thousands of years!"
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly and said calmly: "What they want is more than sixty taels? Didn't the Yi tribe take advantage of them?"
"The law of the Ming Dynasty: Anyone who embezzles sixty taels of silver will be stripped of his skin as a warning to others!"
One raid on a house can equal the income of the Ming Dynasty's treasury for three years, which is really scary.
etc.
The weather in October is already very cold.
Zhu Youjian's eyes were red, his face was ferocious, and he roared loudly.
At this time, Emperor Yongle was wearing armor all over his body and holding the Emperor's Sword, looking very heroic.
Before the expedition, they thought they were going to fight the Tatars and show off the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
"hehe!"
The person who came was none other than Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.
A sound of earth shaking came from behind the light gate, followed by a white horse leaping out.
After the greetings were finished, Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and all the generals immediately ordered their leaders.
Wang Jiayan, the right minister of the Ministry of War, committed suicide;
"My son, please see your father!"
"Secondly, publish an announcement to appease the people and comfort them. You don't need us to teach you this, right?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the whole square was filled with the sound of breathing.
Shi Bangyao, deputy censor of Zuodu, committed suicide;
"My lord, Taizu, I am ready to dismiss everyone on the list from office, including the Yi clan."
They wanted to see what kind of tricks Chongzhen was playing!
"snort!"
Fan Jingwen, a scholar from Dongge University, went on a hunger strike and died. Four days later, his whole family threw themselves into a well and died;
For a moment, the entire palace seemed to have suddenly cooled down by twenty degrees.
"Here comes someone, take him down."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said coldly.
"It just so happens that you confiscated so much silver. If the military expenditure should be reissued, it should be reissued, and the old, weak, sick and disabled should be demobilized."
The two people in dragon robes in front of me look the same as the portrait of Taizu Chengzu.
Watching Zhu Youjian leave, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a leisurely tone: "Fourth, you are the culprit!"
All the men of these nine tribes of nobles, corrupt officials, and profiteers were beheaded, and the women were used as soldiers. The main criminals were skinned and hung under the city gate as a warning to others.
"presumptuous!"
Zhu Di gave an order and took away 90% of the officials present, leaving only a dozen people.
However, in terms of momentum, it was far inferior to the soldiers of the Yongle Dynasty.
"Youjian, how are you going to deal with it?"
"Death penalty!"
Not only that, their deeds will also be engraved on stone tablets and written as biographies of traitorous officials to warn future generations.
Emperor Taizu had divided what he should do next into three points and told him step by step.
The entire family of one soldier, Seidenori Hōbu, hanged himself;
If it still doesn't work well, then Zhu Youjian, the emperor, can step down.
However, the erection of the ‘Treacherous Minister’s Monument’ and the ‘Treacherous Minister’s Biography’ hit him right in the middle, and he was indeed manipulated.
Looking out of the corner of his eye at the officials following him, Zhu Youjian snorted coldly.
Well done, that's what you should do;
Zhu Yuanzhang always treated corrupt officials and traitorous officials with utmost cruelty!
These bitches are intimidated and unethical!
When dealing with them, you cannot be merciful, you must be ruthless.
"Death penalty!"
Winter occurs five to six months out of the year, causing natural disasters year after year.
The entire capital was in chaos, but it was quickly brought under control.
As wealthy businessmen and officials were raided one by one, more and more gold and silver were piled up in the square.
According to Ming history records, after the fall of the Ming Dynasty in the 17th year of Chongzhen, they all committed suicide and martyred their country.
Immediately afterwards, another emperor wearing a dragon robe walked out of the light gate, it was the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen.
He had been emperor for sixteen years and had more than twenty cabinet ministers.
Xianzong Zhu Jianshen fell in love with his wet nurse, which even brought shame to the old Zhu family;
Xiaozong Zhu Youtang had only one queen in his life, and was known as the affectionate emperor;
"Consider yourself how to select officials based on the book on the history of the Ming Dynasty that we gave you."
If that's the case, then let's do the opposite, write a book and write a biography, so that these guys will be infamy for thousands of years.
this.
Wei Zaode, the chief minister of the cabinet, even widened his eyes with an expression of disbelief.
Wuzong Zhu Houzhao even made the leopard room more colorful, gathering all kinds of wild beasts;
"Tyrant, tyrant, you will not die well!"
"Um?"
Who would be willing to work for such an emperor?
"Buzz"
The horse neighed, jumped high with its front hooves, and stopped in front of Zhu Youjian.
"The total amount of silver seized from Wu Guan, the left minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, is 520,000 taels."
After Emperor Hongwu walked out of the Light Gate, they were even more shocked.
Zhu Youjian's biggest problem is that he is too suspicious.
"This time, 1,273 households were raided, and a total of 61,230,000 taels of silver were confiscated."
Wei Zaode's eyes turned red after hearing this, and he stood up and cursed.
If you want to be a good emperor, the most important thing is to know people well and make good use of them!
Otherwise, if the old Zhang Fu and the young Zhang Fu meet, they may doubt their life even more.
"not enough!"
"Thank you Taizu (Father Emperor)!"
The entire family of Kim Hyun, the head of the Ministry of War, committed suicide;
"Search Zhang Jinyan, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and found 165,000 taels of silver and 6,000 taels of gold. There are three mansions in the capital, ten shops, two manors outside the city, and 8,000 acres of prime farmland, with a total of 800,000 taels of silver.
two."
Guangzong Zhu Changluo, who was similar to his grandfather, died on a woman's belly within a month of his reign;
The remaining dozen officials are all famous loyal ministers.
"No further chatter, let's get started!"
Behind the light gate, groups of heavily armed soldiers walked out, exuding a powerful killing aura.
The soldiers were divided into two groups, and Zhu Di took over the defense of the capital with his own army of 100,000 troops.
Everyone stood up.
Meng Zhaoxiang, the right minister of the Ministry of Punishments, and his family committed suicide by throwing themselves into a well;
The ministers discussed it for a while and followed Zhu Youjian to the square outside Qianqing Palace.
"The Ming Dynasty has been raising scholars for three hundred years. There are not many other things, but there are many scholars. There are not even 100,000 but 80,000 people who want to be officials."
"Okay, now let's talk about three things."
Following Zhu Youjian's order, tens of thousands of heads fell to the ground at Caishikou, killing heads and blood flowing like rivers.
"Your Majesty has decreed that the criminals Wei Zaode, Zhang Jinyan and Wu Guan will not be pardoned and the nine tribes will be punished."
As for the elimination of the post-Golden Tartar slaves, that has to be put at the end.
The officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty standing below were so frightened that they almost fainted.
Below, the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty were trembling like quails.
"What the Great Grandfather said is true, and my grandson understands it."
Too cruel!
As expected of Taizu Hongwu, he was so murderous!
According to historical records, during the 31 years of the Hongwu dynasty, six large-scale anti-corruption operations were launched, such as the Guo Huan case, the Kongyin case, and the Da Gao case.
"We told you a long time ago that you don't need to be polite in the future."
In addition to these famous officials, there were more than 8,600 martyrs in the world.
It doesn't matter that he was punished by the Nine Clan, Fang Xiaoru set a good example for the next generation of literati.
Zhu Youjian listened and nodded heavily.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Qizhen all sneered, murderous intent bursting out!
"Okay, okay!"
At this time, the calm sky stirred and the clouds were blown away.
Well, it wasn't just him who was numb.
"Unfilial descendant Zhu Youjian pays homage to Emperor Taizu, Emperor Chengzu and Emperor Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Speaking of which, I can't blame him. It was the emperors before him who were too neglectful of their duties."
At this time, in the square outside the Qianqing Palace, a famous soldier came in and out, carrying boxes one by one from outside.
As the chief minister of the cabinet, he naturally looked up to the portrait of Emperor Taizu Chengzu.
Soon, 100,000 soldiers and horses stood neatly in the square, and the edges could not be seen at a glance.
Finally, Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang walked out of the Light Gate alone.
Behind him were ten thousand soldiers who were also fully armed.
But Emperor Taizu has been dead for more than two hundred and forty years, and Emperor Chengzu has been dead for two hundred and twenty years. How could he be resurrected from the dead?
Wei Zaode's whole body was numb.
So much money piled up together is a spectacular sight!
"Buzz"
Then.
Xizong Zhu Youxiao, the famous carpenter emperor, together with the calligraphy and painting emperor Song Huizong Zhao Ji, can be called the sleeping dragon and phoenix chicks in the emperor world;
Then there is the last Zhu Youjian, who worked hard but still lost his country.
"Dad is right, it's his son's fault!"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Di thought of Ming history's evaluation of subsequent emperors, and silently took the blame.
