The blood-red full moon rose to the top of Fengtian Hall, adding a more terrifying color to this terrible banquet.
In front of the Golden Palace, when the emperor announced the cancellation of their privileges, the fellow villagers, who had no idea whether they were really crying or fake crying, immediately fell to their knees and burst into tears as if they were mourning for their heirs.
"Your Majesty, we were wrong, give us another chance..."
"Your Majesty, please, don't be so heartless. Our second uncle and third uncle's seventh uncle is your sixth uncle's third cousin..."
"Shut up." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head and did not look at them. "You have disappointed us so much. We don't want to see you again! From now on, you don't have to go to the capital to pay New Year's greetings. Go back and be your ordinary people!"
"
"Your Majesty! You can't be so heartless..." The fellow villagers still wanted to cry and cry, but they heard Zhu Yuanzhang say coldly:
"Whoever talks nonsense again will have his tongue cut off!"
The crying and begging stopped suddenly...
"If it weren't for the sake of the fellow villagers, I would have chopped off your heads long ago, get out!" Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly waved his sleeves.
"Get out!" The men with swords also shouted in unison.
The fellow villagers had no choice but to piss their shit out...
~~
After reprimanding the distinguished officials and fellow villagers, there are more difficult issues to deal with.
"Pour in the wine and have another drink." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.
The palace servants quickly poured wine for the remaining people.
"There are no ordinary people here now." Zhu Yuanzhang held the wine glass and said with a gloomy expression: "We can have something more exciting."
As he spoke, he ordered in a deep voice: "Bring Ding Bin up!"
The Ouchi guards escorted Ding Bin, who was wearing prison uniform, to Danbi.
"Ding Bin, you intercepted and privately dealt with the person who complained. Can you admit this crime?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.
"We admit it." Ding Bin nodded.
After Li You was roasted, he knew that he would definitely die.
Li You was just a bad boy, but his sins were many, many more than his. How could the emperor spare him?
In this case, there is no need for him to beg for mercy anymore, it is just embarrassing.
There is also no need to drag Li Qi out again. In this way, the uncle will definitely appreciate it and take good care of his children...
The Korean man on the side breathed a sigh of relief. Although he knew that Ding Bin would not confess Li Qi, he had to confirm it in person before he could rest assured.
"What about the crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately and forcibly arresting civilian husbands?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.
"I did not kill innocent people indiscriminately. I killed only guilty people who deliberately delayed the progress and made the construction not up to standard. Just like in a war, if you do not strictly follow military discipline and kill decisively, how can you repair the Central Capital City quickly and well?
Build this magnificent Forbidden City?" Ding Bin did not recognize this, but he said proudly:
"I am impatient. But I just want to build the central capital city for the emperor as soon as possible. I am guilty of being foolish and loyal, and because I want to share the emperor's worries too much!"
"You fart!" Hearing that he was still arguing, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being furious and cursed: "You keep saying it's for us? For us, will you build a central capital city built on corpses and innocent souls? Is this your loyalty?
?!"
As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the four guards suddenly lifted up the red carpet on the ground, revealing numerous bones and dozens of rotting corpses underneath...
The guests on the left and right changed their colors in horror and stood up involuntarily. Many of the second generation turned around and vomited.
I drank a lot of bitter wine and ate a lot of bitter vegetables, and all I vomited out was bitter water...
"These corpses were collected from Fangqiu Lake. They are not just in case. We have had the corpses examined and they are all civilian workers and craftsmen from the south and the sea! They were recruited by us to build a palace for us, and you treat them like
They were abused like cattle and horses, and finally died in a foreign land for no apparent reason, with no burial place!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the remains with trembling fingers and said:
"They survived the First Yuan Dynasty, but died in my Ming Dynasty! They survived the construction of the Yellow River in the First Yuan Dynasty, but died in the construction of Zhongdu! We always think that no matter how bad we are, we are still worse than those emperors of the Yuan Dynasty.
Much stronger; no matter how bad our Ming Dynasty is, it is still far stronger than the Qian Yuan Dynasty! But now it seems that it is hard to say. Maybe we are not as good as others..."
Speaking of the second half, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice became hoarse, his eyes were red, and he actually cried.
"Is the eternal capital of our Ming Dynasty built on countless bones and innocent souls? Is this kind of Ming Dynasty worthy of being passed down to eternity? Not worthy! It will only perish in one lifetime! I think we, the founding king, will never do it again.
Become the king of a subjugated country for once!"
The emperor yelled the last sentence and his body shook away. The ministers could no longer sit still and hurriedly knelt down to apologize.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I deserve death for my crimes. Please protect your dragon body..."
"No, our rulers and ministers are all guilty, and I am the first one!" Zhu Yuanzhang supported the imperial case sadly and said:
"It's because we are too arrogant and wishful thinking. We ignore the original decision of the world and the hardship of people's livelihood. We don't listen to dissuasion and insist on building a central capital out of nothing! We want to apologize to these people who died. We want to apologize to God. God will send thunder.
Even if you kill us, we won’t have any complaints!”
"Your Majesty..." Mr. Han Han took the lead and cried: "Stop talking anymore. The Emperor has sinned against himself, and all the ministers will be burned to death! There are thousands of mistakes, which are all the fault of the ministers. They have nothing to do with the Emperor, and they have nothing to do with this.
The capital has nothing to do with it. In order to build this central capital, billions of people's money has been spent - the national policy of moving the capital cannot afford any mistakes."
"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and pointed at the dead bodies and said: "Zuo Zuo also said that the dozens of fresh ones among them all died half a month ago."
As he spoke, he looked at Li Shanchang and said: "What happened half a month ago? Or is it because we are going back to our hometown and we need to deal with a number of hidden dangers quickly?"
"Your Excellency, there is another secret behind this matter. Please allow me to report it alone later." Li Shanchang said hurriedly, cupping his hands.
"No need, you can just report it here!" Zhu Yuanzhang said flatly.
"Yes..." Li Shanchang could only sigh and slowly narrated:
"At the end of June, the Golden Palace was completed. However, soon after, I learned from the guards that when they were on duty at night, they often heard the sound of iron tools hitting each other on the roof of the palace, as well as the sounds of curses and screams.
It's like someone fighting with a weapon.
"I personally guarded the palace at night and actually heard these strange noises. I ordered the craftsmen to be detained and interrogated severely. I found out that they were bewitched by the Ming Cult. When building the Golden Palace, they cast various spells and artifacts to curse them.
The superior and future emperors, as well as our Ming Dynasty.
"The minister was shocked and quickly sent people to search carefully. As expected, many town objects and charms were found. They were sealed in the warehouse of the Ministry of Works. Your Majesty can inspect them at any time. Of course, they have all been processed now. I also asked Master Zhang Tian of Longhu Mountain to cast them.
The heavenly thunder rectifies the law and all evils will not invade. Your Majesty can stay here with peace of mind.
"But these evil thieves have ulterior motives and dare to curse the emperor. According to the law, future emperors and the Ming Dynasty should kill everyone!" Li Shanchang raised his head and said with a sincere face:
"But I have considered that once this matter spreads, it may damage the reputation of the superior and cast a shadow on the grand ceremony of moving the capital. This is the most prosperous time since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! I will never allow any flaws! So!
The minister used his power to act expediently and secretly executed the civil servants and craftsmen involved.
"I will bear this eternal infamy, it has nothing to do with the superiors!"
ps. The third update, the remaining two updates have not been written yet. Take the child to the hospital for a checkup, and we will talk about it when we come back...
