99. Its not just the bones of the ministers that have been trampled to pieces...
"Pity……"
Ye Jiming looked back and shook his head.
He was determined to return and planned to kidnap Emperor Chongming from the Siming Mountain rebels and take him south.
A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor.
Although Chongming Emperor cannot do it, it is better than having no one in Fengxi State to take charge of the country and causing the country to perish...
However, there was a time lag. Chang Ji and others had already rushed towards the Suzaku Gate after catching Emperor Chongming and Li Enlu.
We are now less than two miles away from where Xu Xing is.
With such a small distance..., if he kidnapped Emperor Chongming, he would be stopped by the gray-robed old monk.
Then the consequences will be hard to say.
"Immortals" like him should not interfere in the struggle between mortal forces. Especially after seeing that Xu Xingfei is not a false dragon, but another real human dragon that has grown up...
When the birth of the Human King was hindered and there was a complaint from Xuanji Temple, he couldn't bear to walk around.
Even if you don't die, you will lose half your life.
"It just happened by chance..."
"It seems that the great fortune is not with the Song family. Song Dao may fail to condense the first-grade Dao elixir."
Ye Jiming speculated in his mind.
Time passes slowly.
He saw that the two rebel armies inside and outside the palace were about to meet and that nothing could be done, so he finally made up his mind, turned his head and leapt out of the watchtower, turning into a ray of light and leaving, no longer caring about the situation in Shenjing.
…
Outside the Zhuque Gate.
The two forbidden doors with mottled and peeling paint gradually opened.
Changji was riding on a horse, holding a rope.
At the end of the rope, there was Emperor Chongming running hastily with his hands tied, dragged by a war horse.
At this moment, the emperor of the Song family is covered in dust, and his bright yellow dragon robe has several holes.
The black crown of good wings on his head also fell to the road at some point, revealing his gray and messy bun.
A look of embarrassment on his face!
"Xu Ni..."
"I am the emperor, and I should die like an emperor."
After the coarse cloth gagged in his mouth was removed, Emperor Chongming took a few deep breaths.
He looked around and saw that his two princes, the prince, and King Yong were all kneeling by the roadside, while the two important ministers of the country whom he had left in his care were all servile and fawning, and he suddenly felt an infinite sense of sadness in his heart.
The majestic emperor, after the fall of the country, not only did not receive special treatment, but became a bereaved dog.
but--
After all, he is an emperor and has the bearing of an emperor.
Even if the emperor is reduced to a prisoner, he should not be so miserable.
So, he loudly questioned Xu Xing and asked for "justice".
"He who is destined to be the emperor shall be the emperor!"
"You are just a mediocre monarch. You can only be the lord of the country. How can you be called the emperor?"
Xu Xing was riding on his horse, condescending, and retorted smoothly.
The emperor is not necessarily the same as the emperor.
In other words.
The Son of Heaven is the son of God, which means that he is destined by destiny and is respected by all people...
The emperor is just a ruler within the rules.
But generally speaking, after becoming the emperor, he automatically becomes the emperor, and the two are confused into one. After all, no one dares to say "you have no destiny" in front of the emperor.
However... Emperor Chongming's death at this time was enough to prove that he was not destined to be destined.
That is, he is not the emperor!
"Lord of the country?"
Emperor Chongming was extremely angry and laughed instead.
After so many years of being revered as emperor, this was the first time he had been so humiliated.
He took a deep breath and suppressed his resentment and anger in his chest. After all, he had to bow his head under the eaves.
"Fengxi..."
"The Lord of Fengxi asked King Xingtian to give me... the way to die for the emperor."
Emperor Chongming changed his title.
Not only did he change his self-identity, but he also changed his name for Xu Xing.
He did not yet have the courage to draw his sword and kill himself, let alone the determination to bite his tongue and kill himself. If Xu Xing did not forgive him and gave him a good way to die... peeling off the last straw and executing him late, it would be enough to make him unable to live and die.
As for seeking a good way to die...
He believed that Xu Xing would agree to his request, just as Xu Xing was willing to accept all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Xu Xing was not a pure rebel, he knew what order was.
The emperor cannot be easily insulted.
Even the king who has subjugated his country cannot.
Because imperial power is dignified and sacred, to insult the last emperor is to insult yourself who will ascend the throne as emperor in the future...
However--
What Xu Xing said next made his heart completely freeze in his stomach.
"Chongming..."
"This king once swore a great oath in the heavenly prison..."
"If we attack Shenjing, you will be thrown into the hungry people, so that you can feel the hunger of millions of people in the world..."
"Let you starve to death..."
"Since you hate corrupt officials, I think the people will also support you..."
"If you can survive among the hungry people, I will spare your life and let you go south."
In front of everyone, Xu Xingyi felt free to express his thoughts.
To kill, there is no need to use a knife.
When he tortured the king of heaven out of the prison, he not only wanted to trample the bones of the prince to pieces in the streets of heaven...
Why can't the emperor's bones be stepped on?
As for whether it disrupts order?
hehe!
He and Emperor Chongming had a blood feud, so it would be unreasonable to let him go.
It’s not about giving in!
No matter how cruel his methods are, people in the world will forgive him.
After all, blood hatred is hard to eliminate. If he hadn't had some luck, he would have been skinned by ruthless officials a few years ago, and the skin would have been hung on the City Emperor Temple.
…
Civil and military officials beside the road.
The prince kneeling on the ground begging for surrender, King Yong...
Hearing this at this moment,
I have different feelings in my heart.
Under Emperor Chongming's Boliang rule, all civil and military officials also disliked Emperor Chongming.
"The men were exiled for three thousand miles and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi" at every turn, implicating three clans.
Treating ministers like private slaves...
Seeing that Emperor Chongming was about to die tragically, they felt greatly relieved.
But the prince, King Yong, felt sad and uneasy.
Your father is still like this,
Not to mention their descendants.
"Xu Ni..."
"The way you treat me today, your descendants will do the same in the future."
Emperor Chongming saw that it was useless to humble himself, so he cursed instead.
"The glory of a gentleman will decline in three generations, and will be cut off in five generations."
"If this is the case for my king's descendants, I am willing to let him suffer death..."
Xu Xing smiled and didn't mind at all.
He is not very close to his biological son Xu Zhang and has no deep affection for him. He just fulfills his responsibilities as a biological father.
How could he care about his descendants who might not even be able to meet each other in the future?
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! In addition, he is an immortal species, one person is a country, and he does not care too much about the survival of his bloodline.
The same is true for Song Dao, the Taizu of Fengxi Kingdom.
He didn't even care about the life and death of the dragon's sons and grandsons.
Xu Xing was too lazy to reply to Emperor Chongming's subsequent insults. He waved his hand, and the rebel team instantly branched out into a wide road, leading the hungry people of Shenjing who were watching outside the imperial city to the front of Emperor Chongming.
Shenjing is the capital of Fengxi Kingdom, the best place in the world.
Whenever there is a natural or man-made disaster nearby, the victims will rush to Shenjing like crazy. Because at the local level, officials may not necessarily open charity warehouses, and even if they do, it is only on paper. But in Shenjing, at the feet of the emperor, no matter what,
Even if it is superficial, the victims can still have something to eat...
Therefore, there are hundreds of thousands of victims in Shenjing.
The imperial city was in chaos. Seeing this opportunity, these victims also wanted to fish in troubled waters and grab a piece of the soup.
Many eunuchs and maids who fled before the Siming Mountain rebels arrived at the imperial city... had been robbed of all the palace treasures they carried by the victims.
"I am the emperor, and you and other disaster victims have received the emperor's favor..."
Seeing the victims rushing toward him, Emperor Chongming was immediately shocked.
He first subconsciously took ten steps back. When he could no longer retreat, and when he retreated further and was forced back by the rebel shield formation, he started to yell at the victims again.
"I miss you and others who have lost their homes, so I ordered people to open a charity warehouse, distribute official rations, and relieve the people from suffering..."
"Is this how you repay me?"
Emperor Chongming looked closely at the victims.
Facing Xu Xing, he was obedient.
But facing this group of victims who didn't even have enough to eat, he regained his confidence as an emperor.
Destiny is high or low, he was born to be the descendant of an emperor!
How dare some disaster victims disrespect him? Moreover, he "really" showed kindness to these victims. He allocated money from the internal funds and the national treasury. He was a life-saving grace to these victims.
There is no such thing in the world as sharpening one's sword against one's benefactor.
The hungry, yellow-faced and thin-skinned victims gradually stopped walking when they heard Emperor Chongming's words...
Slowly slowed down the pace.
"perhaps……"
"Perhaps we haven't reached the point of death yet."
"I can still rely on these victims to counterattack the traitor Xu Ni..."
"Take advantage of this opportunity and maybe get a chance to survive."
With this gap, Emperor Chongming's brain was running wildly, and some whimsical ideas were born in his mind.
When people are at the end of their rope, they will grasp at the last straw.
At this moment, these victims are the life-saving straw in the eyes of Emperor Chongming...
only--
Before he could speak, the leading victims began to look at him fiercely.
"Chongming, you are a dog emperor."
"When we are blind..."
"The Yicang did put grain for us, but the Yicang was originally the food saved by the people to avoid natural disasters."
"Even if I don't mention this matter..."
"The amount of money allocated to one member of the clan is far more than the amount spent for disaster relief."
"Your Majesty, do you want the victims of the disaster in the world to appreciate your kindness?"
The victims slowly approached Emperor Chongming, saying one sentence to another.
We are not worried about scarcity, but we are worried about inequality.
If the country is really in a difficult situation, and the princes, ministers, and clan members all live frugally and live frugally, it would be okay if the people suffer a little, but the clan princes will eat to their stomachs one by one, while the victims will have to change their bodies to eat...
Who is willing to be convinced?
If the world only belonged to the Song family, there would be no need to talk about kindness, and all the people would be private slaves.
The uprising is natural!
If the world is not just the Song family's world, it is okay to talk about kindness, but the people can carry the boat or capsize it. The emperor of the Song family does not talk about benevolence and righteousness, and they, the victims of the disaster, will not talk about benevolence and righteousness...
A favor from a meal has to be divided into different situations and cannot be generalized.
"It's all official corruption and bribery..."
"That's why you are starving. This is the fault of corrupt officials..."
Emperor Chongming habitually passed the blame.
However, no one listened to his words anymore.
Nearly a thousand victims of the disaster swarmed forward and devoured Emperor Chongming with one bite and one bite.
It won't take more than a quarter of an hour.
Wait until the victims disperse.
There was only a bloody skeleton left on the ground.
"Everyone, just what Chongming said..."
"The reason why the victims are hungry is because of corruption?"
Xu Xing looked at the surrendered civil and military officials. When he saw that these nobles and nobles were all silent, he smiled and said: "If one of the ten people is a corrupt official, then it is the corrupt official's fault, but if all the civil and military officials in the dynasty are
If it is a corrupt official, it is the responsibility of the country and the emperor..."
He set the tone for Emperor Chongming's random biting.
It is true that all civil and military officials in the Manchu Dynasty accepted bribes, and it is true that he will eradicate these corrupt officials in the future. But if he is really stupid and punishes all these people according to the crime of corruption, I am afraid that the local officials will all turn against him in the next moment.
Capturing Shenjing... was just a useless effort.
This is the political naivety of Emperor Chongming.
Whether a minister is useful depends only on whether he is corrupt or incorruptible...
Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years just to become an upright official?
In a feudal society, this kind of thing is impossible!
No matter whether you are an official in the imperial court or a local official, no one has embezzled some money. Even if real money and silver are confiscated, it is definitely not uncommon to use power to collect money...
Even if there are honest officials with clean sleeves, they are just an exception among cases.
After hearing Xu Xing's words, all the civil and military officials were finally relieved and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Sure enough, as a former member of their system, Xu Xing knew their "last resort".
"Emperor Chongming only treats us as domestic slaves..."
"A domestic slave who commits corruption is a domestic thief."
"It is not for the sake of the people, but for one's own selfishness."
"If a king treats his ministers like dirt, they will also regard him as a bandit."
When Han Sui saw this, he bit back at the dead Emperor Chongming. He said flatteringly: "Instead of all these taels of silver going into the royal family's pocket, it is better for me to enjoy them myself. I am not talented. I have ten thousand taels of gold at home. I am willing to give it to the king of heaven to help him."
Military resources.”
He knew very well that he could deceive Emperor Chongming, a foolish emperor, by pretending to be poor, but he could never deceive Xu Xing, the former accountant of Taipu Temple...
Cutting off flesh to eliminate disasters is the best way.
"The same applies to you, ministers."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! All the nobles and dignitaries echoed Han Sui's remarks.
Losing money is a trivial matter.
As long as you keep your life and don't lose your power, money will slowly come with power, endless.
Power is the source of wealth.
You say something, I say something...,
in a short time,
The amount of silver donated by hundreds of officials to support the army in Siming Mountain has exceeded 7 million taels of silver!
It is approximately equal to the taxes paid by Fengxi Kingdom Sixteenth Road in two years.
Compared with the amount of money Emperor Chongming asked officials to donate three years ago, this seven million taels is not a small amount...
The former is five thousand taels, the latter is seven million taels...
More than one thousand four hundred times!
Xu Xing ignored the flattery of the officials. He got off his horse and approached the prince and king Yong. When they were about three or four steps away, he held the scabbard in his left rib and pulled out the Guanshan knife hanging from his waist with his right hand.
.
Under the setting sun, the sword's light was sharp and cold.
"Xu Xing rarely killed anyone in his life..."
He looked at the two princes and sighed slightly.
The people in front of me were just two teenagers, the older one was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and the younger one was only twelve or thirteen years old.
If we talk about doing evil, it is difficult to do evil.
It's just a pity that I was born into a royal family.
After all, it was not their choice to be born into the royal family.
The prince pursed his lips and said nothing, while King Yong kowtowed and begged for mercy.
Their bodies trembled slightly.
"If your imperial father is so kind to the world, even if the country is destroyed, why would such a disaster happen?"
"Next life..."
"Choose a better family and don't join the emperor's family again."
After Xu Xingdao said these words, his innate true energy attached to the sharp blade, and he lightly slashed towards the necks of the two princes.
moment!
Two big heads rolled to the ground.
Blood splashed one after another on the nine-story white marble steps of the Vermillion Bird Gate.
The pale golden afterglow of the setting sun fell on the jade-colored passage leading from the imperial city to Renjifang, dyeing Xu Xing's upper body a bright yellow color. Under the dazzling light, the entire sunset scene became a foil behind him...
The official who had just realized that his donation was short of silver now had tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver popping out of his mouth.
Killing the two princes is enough to prove that Xu Xing's next actions will not contain any womanly kindness.
"Someone is coming..."
"Bring the Minister of Punishment, the Minister of Rites, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, King Cheng and others forward..."
"I will kill them one by one with blood and hatred."
Xu Xing turned his head and looked at the civil and military officials of the dynasty with murderous intent in his eyes.
These people he said were all the masterminds behind the corruption scandal at Taipus Temple.
He was also the enemy who almost killed him.
If he has a grudge, he will avenge him one by one!
It's just that the servant Han Sui let Zhao Yunniang go and was kind to him. It's not easy to convict Han Sui today, lest the world say he is ungrateful...
After all, Zhao Yunniang is his beloved Nanyuan whom he loved deeply.
Tolerance to Mrs. Han is a reflection of deep affection for Zhao Yunniang.
Benevolence and righteousness are one of his weapons for winning the country.
