Chapter 473 Kill Without Amnesty
As soon as Zhou Juren said this, the atmosphere in the hall suddenly dropped to freezing point.
In fact, Zhou Juren is not ignorant that these words cannot be said.
Threatening the court?
How many catties are you!
But for Zhou Juren, he is also desperate, because... anyway, it is a death, and it is better to fight hard than to die without a place to die.
It's just that when these words were spoken, Zhou Juren actually knew that he had no way out.
Some of the gentry behind him knelt down and trembled at this moment, as if they realized that the words were too serious.
But at the same time, a little hope can't help but grow in my heart.
They held their breath, waiting for His Majesty's reaction.
Zhu Di did not immediately respond.
He got up, paced a few steps, and then said: "People's hearts are lost, chaos is coming..."
He pondered, and suddenly said: "Qiu Qing's family..."
Among the hundreds of officials, some people walked out.
Today's Qiu Fu is already a little old, but when he stepped out of the class, he was extraordinarily energetic. Although he was physically weak, he said plausibly: "The minister is here."
Zhu Di said: "How many people and horses are there in the Beijing camp under the jurisdiction of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?"
Qiu Fu said: "Returning to Your Majesty, the five military battalions under the jurisdiction of the Dudufu of the Five Armies have a total of 72 guards, with a total of 35 soldiers. The three thousand battalion has 4000 fine cavalry under its jurisdiction. , 9000 people in total.”
Zhu Di nodded.
Then he turned to ask Yi Shiha: "How many guards are there?"
Yi Shiha hurriedly said: "The pro-army is under the jurisdiction of the guards of the pro-army, and the twelve guards are 13 people. There are also four guards under the jurisdiction of the Yumajian, totaling [-]."
Zhu Di nodded in satisfaction, and then said: "How many are there in the model camp?"
Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty, the model camp has the smallest number of people, only 8000 people."
Zhu Di said: "Less is less."
While talking, he walked slowly in front of Zhou Juren, and said calmly, "Do you have many soldiers?"
It was difficult for Zhou Juren to answer for a while, he just felt the pressure rolling towards him like a mountain, and he was sweating profusely.
Zhu Di narrowed his eyes slightly, fixedly staring at Zhou Juren, and said, "I raise soldiers for thousands of days, and spend countless money and food, horse fodder, ordnance, and gunpowder every day. Isn't this moment waiting for you? If you want to rebel, then It’s just the opposite, it’s just for me to try the knife, I’ve killed people all my life, so I might as well add some more.”
Speaking of this, Zhu Di's eyes flickered, like a sharp knife ready to go.The voice was strangely steady, and he said: "As for you, it is better to deceive the king and hoard goods in the year of a catastrophe. This is a crime of death. Come... Everyone will be taken down, and no one will be let go. Tomorrow at noon , to the outskirts of the city for execution and beheading!"
There are as many as two to three thousand people inside and outside.
Originally Zhou Juren dared to say such stupid words, in fact, he relied on his large number of people and power, and thought that the emperor should pay attention to the influence if it was not good enough.
But when he heard the word beheading, he was shocked and almost passed out.
Suddenly, I felt dark in front of my eyes.
After a while, the imperial guards rushed forward and held them down unceremoniously.
This week, more than a dozen people were shocked, and each of them shouted in horror: "Spare me, spare my life!"
It's a pity that no one paid any attention to them. All these embarrassing people were quickly detained and dragged out by a group of tigers and wolves.
But at this time, Zhu Di said lightly: "Wait a minute."
When Zhou Juren heard this, he raised it up in one breath, and a glimmer of hope seemed to arise in his heart.
He thought to himself, maybe it was just the emperor who frightened him just now, at this time the emperor regained his senses, and he might be able to deal with it lightly, so he cried loudly: "Your Majesty...Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di frowned, but he said slowly: "You have done evil and oppressed the people. Over the years, I am afraid that your relatives will enjoy a lot of the profits you have made. Tomorrow, kill you first, and then the factory guards will naturally take you. But you’d better hope that your wives, children, and children can be slaughtered, and if you don’t accept it, and dare to rebel as you said, then I will have the death penalty waiting for you.”
When Zhou Juren heard this, his heart was completely chilled.Thinking of the loss of my own life, and now... the whole family was affected, I felt chills in my heart, feeling unspeakably sad.
He wanted to say something, but the guard behind him covered his mouth and dragged him out again.
Outside the Meridian Gate.
Two to 3000 people knelt here, each of them mourning or crying.
But at this moment, suddenly teams of men and horses rushed over, some of them were factory guards Fanzi and Ti Qi in fish suits, and some were guards under the command of the Imperial Horse Supervisor in armor. Suddenly, the gentry kneeling here felt that something was wrong when they saw this, and they became confused.
At the moment, someone shouted: "Who are you, do you know who we are?"
"Don't be presumptuous!"
"This is the henchman of the eunuch and Zhang thief."
Someone even shouted: "I am a scholar, I have fame!"
Among the noisy voices, the voices of many people gathered together and became more and more chaotic.
The eunuchs and generals who were in charge of dispatching here sweated a lot. They all felt that if these thousands of people really went crazy, there would be a big commotion.
But soon, they breathed a sigh of relief.
Because although there was a lot of scolding here, once the wolf-like captain rushed in to grab people, he didn't resist at all, but even though they were held down, these people were still chattering, or swearing, or dragging some words.
Anyway, I didn't understand it very well, and soon, everyone was taken down, without missing a single one.
There was no blood spattering either.
Zhu Di returned to Wenlou.
Soon, eunuchs came to report what happened at the Meridian Gate.
Zhu Di only nodded lightly and said, "Got it."
His Majesty's mood today can be described as both happy and angry, and Yi Shiha was by his side, serving him carefully.
Fortunately, Zhang Anshi also came with him, which made Yishiha feel more relaxed.
Zhu Di pondered for a moment, and said: "I have issued an order to the personnel of the four provinces, asking them to take precautions, not to be careless, and to respond to civil uprisings at any time."
Zhang Anshi calmly said: "Your Majesty, I have already ordered you to."
Zhu Di nodded, but remembered something, so he said, "Besides, when can this railway be built?"
Zhang Anshidao: "Now the roadbed is basically formed, and now it is only necessary to lay sleepers and rails. As long as there is enough money, the major workshops will increase their horsepower to produce, and time is not a problem."
To Zhang Anshi's surprise, Zhu Di said in a very generous manner: "Then don't cherish the money. Didn't you say that you earned a lot of money this time? I want to connect the railway to Guanzhong, the sooner the better."
Zhang Anshi was in a good mood, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I obey the order."
Zhu Di's face softened a lot, but he said surprisingly: "Zhang Qing is really a national scholar, hey... If you are my son, I will definitely teach you to inherit the great rule."
Zhang Anshi's heart skipped a beat, his expression changed, and he waved his hands: "Don't dare, don't dare."
Zhu Di smiled and said, "At the beginning, when Cao Cao met Sun Quan, he felt that having a child should be like Sun Zhongmou, but I was just impromptu."
Zhang Anshi secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and when he heard Zhu Di's words, he became more energetic: "Then Sun Zhongmou is a bird, no, your majesty, I shouldn't be disrespectful in front of your majesty, I just think that this Sun Quan, if he can't write well, he can't do it. , but they are the defenders, the sons of Cao Cao..."
But Zhu Di waved his hand and interrupted him: "I'm using allusions, don't be like those pedants who always raise arguments."
Zhang Anshi opened his mouth, but he had no choice but to swallow back the words he hadn't spoken, and said obediently: "Yes."
Zhu Di pondered, thought for a while and said: "The two places of Henan and Guanzhong... Now that they have reached such a point, it is time to implement the New Deal."
He said, bowing his head and pacing.
Taking advantage of the opportunity to implement the New Deal is obviously the best result for Zhu Di.
But the problem is how to implement it, how to structure it, and who should be appointed to preside over it.
Zhang Anshi remained silent.
This kind of matter is very sensitive. For Zhang Anshi, he can't wait for the New Deal to be implemented all over the world immediately. He has long been disgusted with Zhou Juren in these places.
But Zhang Anshi also understands that the biggest problem with the new policies of the provinces is who will preside over them and who will implement them.
The previous hundred officials were obviously not suitable, so Zhang Anshi was the only one who had such prestige and experience.
This undoubtedly greatly increased Zhang Anshi's authority.
However, Zhang Anshi has already ruled Zhili, if a few more provinces are added, even if His Majesty is willing, I am afraid that Zhang Anshi will be worried that someone will use this to attack him.
So Zhang Anshi simply pretended to be deaf and dumb.
At this moment, a eunuch suddenly rushed over and said in panic, "Your Majesty..."
Zhu Di raised his head, but saw that it was only an eunuch from the General Administration Department, and he said indifferently: "What's the matter?"
"Your Majesty, Henan, Guanzhong and other places are eager to play..." The eunuch said: "After the minister of the Ministry of War has obtained the performance, he prayed for an audience, saying yes... saying yes... Henan and Guanzhong... overnight, a large number of civil uprisings occurred, each A large number of thugs have appeared in the prefectures and counties, attacking the officers and soldiers...these thieves...suddenly rose up, and the momentum is not small, the military department is suspicious...the scale may not be in the hundreds of thousands."
One hundred thousand is actually just a drop in the ocean for the large populations of Guanzhong and Henan.
But such a scale, for Yongle Dynasty, still cannot be underestimated.
Even at this scale, it is still the number of Zhang Anshi after a large amount of relief.
After Zhu Di heard this, he sneered and said, "Unexpectedly, it really came... Soldiers come to block, water comes to cover, teach the Minister of the Ministry of War Jin Zhong not to come to see me, just a thief, teach him to dispatch troops and horses with the Governor's Office of the Five Armies, and immediately go to Henan , Guanzhong counterinsurgency, all rebels will be killed immediately without pardon!"
Speaking of rebellion, no, speaking of Jing Nan, Zhu Di is simply the ancestor of the rebels.
To put it bluntly, Zhu Di felt that these people were beyond their control even with such little tricks and daring to play tricks in front of the patriarch.
After getting the order, the eunuch hurried away again.
But who knew, after a while, the eunuch would go and come back again.
The eunuch said: "Your Majesty, Jin Gong said... said... that this matter must be reported to His Majesty, please don't forget, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the Emperor's Sun, one is in Henan and the other is in Guanzhong..."
Zhu Di's face changed slightly.
Zhang Anshi also immediately noticed the change in Zhu Di's expression, and was about to say something.
But seeing Zhu Di, sitting on the throne leisurely, said lightly and calmly: "Isn't it great that they are here? The rebels are rampant, and the local soldiers and civilians must be intimidated. The presence of my children and grandchildren is enough to reassure the soldiers and the people Go and tell Jin Qing that he doesn't need to think about these matters, the duty of the Ministry of War is to dispatch troops and participate in counter-insurgency matters."
The eunuch kowtowed, then quit again.
Yishiha stood aside, already worried, hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty... this... this..."
Zhu Di was sitting upright, with his hands on his knees, but his arms trembled slightly, but soon, he grabbed his knees with both hands, and he stopped.
He said: "When I was in my teens, I followed the King of Zhongshan and stayed in Beiping, trained soldiers, carried out garrisoning, repairing city defenses, and consolidating border defenses. When I grow older, I will attack the desert. It's not a big deal."
After hearing Zhu Di's words, Yi Shiha knew in his heart that no one in the world cared more about the safety of the crown prince and emperor's grandson than His Majesty.
After all, this is the prince. If it was in the Hongwu Dynasty, this would be Zhu Biao, the prince of the Hongwu Emperor.
What is related is the issue of the continuation of the Great Ming Dynasty.
Not to mention, the love between father and son and grandparents.
But when Zhu Di said this, he had no choice but to laugh dryly, and put on a calm attitude: "What your majesty said is that the crown prince and the emperor's grandson are the sons and grandsons of the dragon, and they are the blood of your majesty, so they must be as brave as your majesty. "
Zhang Anshi frowned for a long time, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... Your Majesty..."
However, Zhu Di sighed and said: "The emperor's grandson has grown up a lot in these years. In the past few years, he has asked Zhang Qing to teach him by example and example. I hope he can make progress and not insult the reputation of Tianhuang nobles."
Zhang Anshi opened his mouth, but finally nodded.
Zhu Di said: "Okay, you can step back and go see your sister. If your sister hears about this, a woman... will always panic."
Zhang Anshi had no choice but to say: "Yes, my minister...resign."
By the time Zhang Anshi resigned, it was already late.
For the dinner in the palace, Zhu Di reluctantly ate a few mouthfuls. In the middle of the night, Shiha urged him several times, but Zhu Di seemed preoccupied and refused to sleep.
Till Yishiha said again: "The empress is in the palace, I'm afraid it will be difficult to sleep."
After hearing this, Zhu Di got up and went back to Da Nei.
The empress's harem was indeed brightly lit. Empress Xu did not go to rest in the bedroom, but only taught people to light a lot of lanterns in the courtyard.
The eunuchs and female officials stood there, motionless.
But there was an immature voice, saying: "In the Qin Dynasty, the moon was bright and the Han Dynasty was at the Pass. The Long Marchers have not yet returned, but the Dragon City Flying General is here..."
In the distance, the voice of the eunuch came: "I have seen Your Majesty."
So the childish voice came to an abrupt end.
With hands behind his back, Zhu Di came pacing with a big belly.
Looking sideways, the child standing here reciting poems is none other than Zhang Changsheng.
When Zhang Changsheng saw Zhu Di, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to breathe out.
Empress Xu has stood up gracefully, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, look at you, you always look like you are not close to others, which scares the child."
Zhu Di forced a smile and said, "He's a child, he's already eight or nine years old, this child is like his father, a rat, afraid of everything he sees."
Empress Xu just smiled.
Between the husband and wife, there is a connection between each other's minds. Empress Xu is also well aware of the matter of the prince and the emperor's grandson. Although she is extremely worried, she never reveals it in front of Zhu Di.
And Zhu Di naturally knew what she was thinking, but tacitly kept silent.
Only Zhang Changsheng, with his head drooped and his eyes lowered slightly, remained silent.
Zhu Di was looking at Zhang Changsheng at this moment, beckoned to him and said, "Come, come to me."
Zhang Changsheng's legs seemed to weigh a thousand catties, and he took a long time to get in front of Zhu Di.
Zhu Di pinched his face, probably because it felt good, his face eased a lot, and then he smiled from the bottom of his heart.
Zhu Di said gently, "How many poems can you recite?"
Zhang Changsheng said politely: "I can recite it all."
Zhu Di said: "You grow so fast?"
Empress Xu smiled and said, "This is a smart child."
Zhang Changsheng's mother is the Xu family, and Empress Xu is the Xu family's aunt, so they are also blood relatives.
Zhu Di said abruptly, "But I heard that you are very naughty outside the palace."
Zhang Changsheng actually said honestly: "Yes."
Zhu Di still put on an easy-going look, and said, "Why do you like to learn after entering the palace?"
Zhang Changsheng said: "When I entered the palace, my father said that if I was disobedient, His Majesty would beat me to death. I was a little afraid of death..."
Zhu Di couldn't help being amused, and couldn't help saying: "Zhang Qing was joking with you, I am your uncle, how could I kill you?"
Zhang Changsheng bowed his head and remained silent.
Zhu Di smiled, patted his head, and said: "What a well-behaved child, why, he stopped talking again, is I so scary?"
Zhang Changsheng slightly raised his head and glanced at Zhu Di, before saying, "I dare not say."
Zhu Di said: "Say it, talk it..."
Empress Xu looked at the timid expression on Zhang Changsheng's face, and hurriedly said, "Okay, Changsheng should go and rest soon."
Zhu Di suddenly felt something strange, but said: "I'm not busy, I'll listen to what you say...I won't take offense at all."
Zhang Changsheng hesitated for a while, and finally said as if he had made a big decision: "My father said that the most terrifying person in the world is the one who dares to eat dung, uncle...Your Majesty, have you really eaten it? Is it yummy?"
Zhu Di: "..."
Empress Xu pulled Zhang Changsheng away, and winked at the eunuchs, and some eunuchs hugged Zhang Changsheng and left.
Empress Xu caressed Zhu Di's back and said, "Your Majesty, the child speaks without restraint, the child doesn't understand anything, this silly child..."
The blue veins on Zhu Di's forehead were exposed, and he ground his teeth for a long time before saying: "Fuck you!"
Empress Xu laughed dryly: "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you'd better go to bed early. Your Majesty is getting older, not when he was young and strong. You must pay attention to your dragon body."
Zhu Di said: "Turn back and let that boy Changsheng come to my side. I want to teach by precept and example. Don't always learn from some people and teach him some crooked ways."
Empress Xu said: "Yes, yes, that child is indeed too ignorant, that's why he is so confused."
Zhu Di's face twitched, his mouth opened slightly, and he wanted to say something more, but he didn't know where to start.
