Chapter 2054, the emperor bleeds thousands of miles
"you do not know?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Mao Ji and asked coldly.
"Are you really not aware or are you pretending not to know?"
"Or is it that you don't pay attention to the current epidemic prevention at all, you just conveyed the court's order, and then ignored it?"
"My lord...my lord~"
Mao Ji suddenly didn't know how to answer.
If you say you don’t know, it means you have not properly implemented the epidemic prevention work at hand. If you know it, but let it go and ignore it, the consequences will be more serious.
"Tang Mu and Xu Ming, you have done me terrible harm now."
Mao Ji couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
"snort!"
"Don't think that I don't know. Yesterday, you received a filial piety gift from Tang Mu. The amount was a full thirty thousand taels!"
Emperor Hongzhi got angry when he saw Mao Ji. Originally, there were some things that he had to turn a blind eye to. When the water is clear, there will be no fish. The officials of the imperial court collected pen fees, Bing Jing, Tan Jing and the like, but now they are all the same.
It's an old rule.
But when Mao Ji slipped up at a critical moment, and when Tang Mu gave him money at this juncture, he should have known in his heart that something must have happened.
Mao Ji not only accepted the money, but also concealed the epidemic situation in Shandong for Tang Mu.
"ah!"
When Mao Ji heard this, he immediately collapsed to the ground.
This kind of thing is naturally very strict, and it is almost difficult for outsiders to know, but Emperor Hongzhi actually knew it. There is no doubt that there must be factory guards in his house, who know every move of his.
.
"Someone is coming!"
Emperor Hongzhi shouted directly.
As Emperor Hongzhi spoke, several Han generals walked in.
"Take Mao Ji to the market, interrogate and behead him directly, confiscate his home, and exile his whole family to Australia!"
After hearing about Emperor Hongzhi, the expressions of all the ministers suddenly changed.
This Mao Ji was a minister and an important minister of the imperial court. Now he was directly beheaded because of this matter. This shows that Emperor Hongzhi was furious at this moment. Emperor Hongzhi would not be able to calm down his anger without killing some people.
You must know that Emperor Hongzhi has always been kind and generous. Even if he makes any mistakes, at most he will let you go home and retire, so that you can have a good death.
But now, Emperor Hongzhi started killing directly, and the first person to be killed was important court officials like Mao Ji.
This frightened everyone and also sent chills down their backs. If the same thing happened in the place they were responsible for, they would definitely not be able to keep their heads if they didn't lose their heads.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I know I was wrong, I know I was wrong!"
"Spare my life!"
When Mao Ji heard that he was going to lose his head, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground and shouted quickly.
"Your Majesty, although Mao Ji was wrong, as an important official of the imperial court, is it inappropriate to just kill him like this?"
Yang Yiqing had a good relationship with Mao Ji. After some hesitation, he stood up and spoke for him.
"Just because he is an important minister of the imperial court, he should know what is the most important thing for our Ming Dynasty right now. The epidemic is so serious and how many people have died. At this time, we should strictly implement control and control it as much as possible.
epidemic, reduce losses.”
"But what about him?"
"They didn't take the imperial decrees to heart at all. They ignored the two provinces responsible and allowed the officials below to do whatever they wanted, which greatly enriched the country."
"Not killing is not enough to make the people angry, not killing is not enough to scare the world!"
Emperor Hongzhi did not waver at all. With a wave of his hand, Mao Ji was pressed down and beheaded everywhere.
"Mo Bin! Zhang Zhong!"
"I'm here!"
Emperor Hongzhi shouted again, and upon hearing this, Mou Bin, the commander of Jinyi Guards, and Zhang Zhong, the eunuch of Dongchang Factory, also stood up quickly.
"Immediately order Jinyiwei and Dongchang in Shandong and South Zhili provinces to arrest all the people on the list. The homes of Tang Mu, Xu Ming and other major officials will be raided, and the Yi tribe will be searched!"
"There are also these unscrupulous businessmen, kill them all and confiscate their homes, the Yi tribe!"
"Yes~"
When Mu Bin and Zhang Zhong heard this, their expressions changed slightly. Emperor Hongzhi was really angry. Looking at the list handed over to him, there were hundreds of officials' names densely written on it, all of them from Shandong and South Zhili.
The feudal officials, dignitaries, and a large number of businessmen.
I'm afraid I don't know how many people will die this time.
However, considering that these people are still making great use of the country's wealth in such a critical moment, they will die, they deserve it, and it is not a pity to die.
When other ministers heard this, their faces turned pale with fright, and the good old Emperor Hongzhi went on a killing spree.
For Emperor Hongzhi, it may not matter if you offend Emperor Hongzhi himself. During the Chenghua Dynasty, there were many people in the palace who offended Emperor Hongzhi, but after Emperor Hongzhi became emperor, he let these people go and let them go home.
Gone for retirement.
This shows the generosity and kindness of Emperor Hongzhi.
Ministers in the DPRK have rarely said that those who were killed can basically die well and go home to retire.
But once it involves the Ming Dynasty, the country, and the country, if you make a mistake on a major matter, if you make a mistake, Emperor Hongzhi will go on a killing spree.
The previous killing sprees were also due to the fact that there were profiteers who were trying to enrich the country, and there were officials who were doing nothing but deceiving the superiors and subordinates. This made Emperor Hongzhi Long Yan furious and killed some people ruthlessly.
The same is true now. When facing a large-scale epidemic, Emperor Hongzhi needed to work together to control the epidemic as soon as possible and reduce losses. However, these people still did this, which made Emperor Hongzhi murderous.
"Inform all parts of Ming Dynasty about this matter, publish it in newspapers, and let everyone read it!"
Emperor Hongzhi took a breath, calmed down the anger in his heart and said.
"Yes~"
When the officials heard this, they quickly agreed.
At this time, everyone had chills on their spines and cold sweat on their foreheads.
"Shandong and Nanzhili cannot continue like this. Let's discuss together who should be sent to these two provinces to control the epidemic..."
.....
Jinan City, Shandong Province.
As the blockade continues, the entire capital city will be sealed tightly, and people will not be allowed to move around easily, except to buy food.
In the grain store, there are only a few grain stores open at present. The other grain stores have been sealed and sealed, and the owners have been imprisoned. The reason is that the price of food has increased during the epidemic, which has made the country difficult to make money.
.
However, the people who have really made the country rich are counting their money with a smile on their face at this moment, because the price of food here has now risen to more than 200 yuan per catty, and every household has to come to buy it, and it is impossible not to buy it.
If you don’t buy it, you are not cooperating with the epidemic prevention and control policies. We will arrest you directly and make you feel like you are in jail.
"Tsk, tsk, it would be great if this epidemic could last for a year and a half."
Shandong Chief Minister Tang Mu stood in a private room of a restaurant, overlooking the long queue at the grain store, and he couldn't help but sigh.
The money came so fast, just like running water, it flowed into his pocket. This made him wish that the epidemic would continue, so that he could continue to sell food at high prices.
Now not only the city of Jinan, but also the major cities in Shandong have all been laid out by him, and they are all selling grain at high prices. The revenue earned this day is huge, and even the daily income is not enough to describe it.
People in the Ming Dynasty today are no better than before. In the past, everyone was very poor and couldn't squeeze out any money.
After more than 20 years of capitalist development, colonization and industrialization in the Ming Dynasty, the people have enjoyed the dividends of the times and have a lot of money in their hands.
The oil and water came out gurglingly as soon as it was squeezed.
"Then Master, you will become the richest man in the Ming Dynasty!"
Tang Quan beside him said with a smile.
"Haha, it doesn't make much sense to be the richest man in the Ming Dynasty but not the richest man. The main thing is that once you have money, you can climb up."
Tang Mu immediately laughed happily.
But just as he finished laughing, there was a burst of noise from downstairs.
"who?"
"Jinyiwei is on duty, arrest them all."
Before Tang Mu could figure out the situation, he saw a Jinyiwei Baihu walking up with people.
"Master Tang is so elegant, and you are still in the mood to enjoy the scenery."
"Who are you?"
"Do you know that the person in front of you is the Chief Envoy of Shandong?"
When Tang Quan saw it, he immediately roared with anger and anger.
"What we are looking for is Mr. Tang Mutang. What happened to you has happened, arrest him!"
This Baihu smiled coldly and waved his hand, and several Jinyi guards grabbed him directly.
"Who dares?"
"I am an official of the imperial court. You cannot arrest people randomly."
Tang Mu immediately panicked and started shouting.
"Master Tang, the emperor already knows about your affairs. It's hard to make money for the country. Not only will you lose your head this time, but your three tribes will also lose their heads!"
Jinyiwei Baihu said coldly.
After hearing his words, Tang Mu immediately collapsed to the ground, his whole body weak, and Tang Quan next to him was also so frightened that his buttocks urinated.
The factory guards acted very quickly. In just one day, the main illegal officials, illegal businessmen, and all three ethnic groups in Shandong were arrested.
Immediately afterwards, the entire Jinan City began to be filled with a strong smell of blood, and heads were rolling in. They were chopped off batch after batch, and the people in Jinan City couldn't help but make friends with each other.
These corrupt officials and profiteers really deserve to be killed and deserved to die.
It is obviously during a plague, and the government's decrees should be strictly enforced. However, these corrupt officials and profiteers colluded together to make a huge dent in the country's wealth. Instead, those law-abiding businessmen were arrested and imprisoned, as well as the factories that they took advantage of the epidemic.
, industry, etc.
As these things were broadcast on the radio while beheading, the entire Shandong people became angry. These corrupt officials and profiteers deserved to die. Now that the three tribes were exterminated, it was also very satisfying.
The same scene also happened in Nanzhili, and there were also a lot of killings. The Ming Dynasty Morning Post also reported it in detail, and for a while, the world was shocked!
