With a loud bang, the old slave's mausoleum was blown open.

It wasn't until this time that the others came to their senses, and why didn't they think about blowing up the old slave's mausoleum at first, which made Liu Wenxiu show off.

In fact, in that era, the scope of the use of explosives was not very large, and many people could not think of using explosives at all, Yue Fei was not good at using firearms, and Li Cunxiao was even more so.

When the smoke and dust at the scene cleared, all the soldiers immediately flocked to it, and sure enough, they saw a big hole.

Everyone present crawled out of the pile of dead people, and no one was afraid at all, and rushed into the mausoleum.

The huge sarcophagus was quickly opened, and a light suddenly emanated from the sarcophagus, all of which were treasures such as gemstones, jade, agate, and gold.

Everyone's eyes were open and shining, although it was not their personal property, but their hearts were still full of surprises:

"Quick, load it up!"

"Yes"

The Ming army immediately carefully packed the jewels and then transported them out of the underground palace safely.

After all the treasures in the sarcophagus were taken out, a shriveled corpse was revealed, which was the old slave of the founder of the Eastern Captivity.

"Look, the old slave has turned into a dried corpse, and immediately pull it out and hang it on a tree, so that he can enjoy the beautiful scenery of Shengjing."

"Hahaha, what a beautiful scene, not a single descendant can't see ......"

There were so many people who did the work, and it didn't take long for all the treasures in the mausoleum to be transported, and a few bones for the old slave to be buried were left untouched, and other valuable things were taken out.

The Ming army was just about to hang the dried corpse of the old slave on the tree, and suddenly a group of people came running, they were all descendants of the survivors of the Shengjing Massacre, and their relatives all died in the hands of the old slave.

When they heard that someone was digging up the old slave's tomb, they immediately ran over, and when they saw the old slave's dry corpse, they picked up the stones on the ground and smashed them desperately.

Soon the old slave's dried corpse turned into a pile of ashes, and the people hated them too much, even so they didn't let him go, and the people got feces and urine to pour on the old slave's dry corpse to vent their anger.

When the people abused the corpse of the old slave, Yue Fei led the generals to be happy and returned to the barracks with the treasures they had obtained.

There is no way, who let them be barbarians, and on the streets of Shengjing under their rule, there is no trace of civilization in sight.

A living barbarian people, before they entered the customs, the place where the war horses had trampled was everywhere burning, killing and looting.

They have no concept of governing the country and the people at all, and such a barbarian nation has actually replaced the Ming Dynasty, which the Han people are proud of.

When Qi Jiguang saw two carts of jewelry, gold and silver, he also had a happy smile on his face.

This three-way expedition to the east, although it consumed tens of millions of taels of silver, did not lose money, not only recovered Liaodong, but also made a lot of gold and silver treasures and a large number of cattle, sheep and horses.

About to return to the court, Yue Fei urged the horse to come to Qi Jiguang's horse and hugged his fists and said:

"Dudu, although the Eastern Captivity was destroyed, Shengjing cannot be left unguarded, you go back first, and leave five thousand men and horses for Yue Fei to garrison the Beijing Division."

Liaodong is now icy and snowy, and the weather is very cold, Yue Fei actually took the initiative to ask to stay and defend the city, which made Qi Jiguang very moved, he hugged his fists and saluted:

"Since the general is willing to stay, Qi Jiguang will express his gratitude to you on behalf of the whole army, and when our army returns to Beijing, he will ask the Holy Lord to send someone to replace you."

Yue Fei:

"Don't be polite, Yue Fei is also thinking about the emperor."

After Qi Jiguang convened the generals to discuss, he decided to leave Yue Fei with 5,000 Longteng troops, in addition to enough military rations for them to survive the winter, and some cattle, sheep and horses.

Then Qi Jiguang led the army to embark on the road back, and the materials obtained were too much, and it was difficult to transport them away on land in a short time.

Therefore, a lot of gold and silver were loaded on naval warships, ready to be transported to Tianjin by water, and when they arrived in Tianjin, they were transported by land from Tianjin to Jingshi.

Now the naval division warships, although they are all old ships in the past, there are not many of them, and the Ming naval division has always been very strong, even in the late Ming Dynasty.

Qianqing Palace

The Ming Dynasty's scientific expedition has ended, and because Zhu Youzhen has reformed this scientific expedition, many people have complained, especially those Confucian bigwigs, who have accused Zhu Youzhen of forgetting his ancestors and fooling around.

The discussions and accusations behind people's backs are actually heard by Jinyiwei, they are the emperor's eagle dogs, of course, they will not know about it.

Hearing the report of the White Tiger Suzaku, Zhu Youzhen had already prepared for this, and he didn't say anything for the time being, nor was he too angry.

He knew that a bigger storm was far from coming, and with his thorough reform of Daming teaching, Zhu Youzhen himself was a little afraid to imagine how those literati would scold him.

The articles of the top 300 in the scientific examination have been placed on his dragon book case at this time, and Zhu Youzhen is still looking forward to the handwriting of these 300 people.

He abolished the eight-strand essay this time, and let the candidates write an essay directly, although the difficulty is much lower than that of writing the eight-strand essay.

However, those candidates have long been accustomed to the eight-strand essay during the scientific examination, and the cancellation of the eight-strand essay this time has made many candidates' early efforts in vain.

The purpose of Zhu Youzhen's examination of the essays is to let them know what it means to be loyal to the country, what it means to honor one's parents, what is honest and law-abiding, and what is shameful.

Don't be like most civil officials now, who talk and do things differently all day long, say one thing and do another behind their backs, and do nothing about loyalty, filial piety and honesty, they only care about their own interests.

picked up an article casually, Zhu Youzhen casually glanced at it and began to shake his head, the whole article is very well written, but it is very empty, and it is completely boasting.

Speaking of loyalty, filial piety and shame, this reminded Zhu Youzhen of a story he had seen before crossing over, and the protagonist was the famous second minister Hong Chengchou.

During the Spring Festival after the Qing army entered the customs, firecrackers were set off in Beijing all night.

Chinese New Year, the Chinese tradition will post couplets, especially to people like Hong Chengchou, of course, they should post couplets.

So on both sides of the gate of Hong Chengchou's mansion, couplets were naturally pasted, what "poems and books have been passed down for a long time, and etiquette has been passed down for a long time." ”

Early in the morning of the first day of the new year, Hong Chengchou slept with his wives and concubines, but was woken up by the family members who guarded the door, and it turned out that the couplet posted by the Hong family yesterday was gone.

Instead, there is a pair of black and white couplets hanging on both sides of the door, the upper couplet is: filial piety, loyalty, courtesy, righteousness, and honesty, and the lower couplet is: one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. ”

Hong Chengchou suddenly jumped like thunder when he saw it, and rushed into his chest in one breath, and suddenly spat blood from his mouth and became unconscious.

The family was in a mess in an instant, and hurriedly asked a doctor for treatment, how could Hong Chengchou be in a hurry, even if the divine doctor Hua Tuo was alive, it was difficult to regenerate it, and he died of depression soon after.

Hong Chengchou saw a couplet, why was he so angry that he gradually died?

It turns out that this couplet has no "shame" in the upper couplet, and the lower couplet forgets (homonym) "eight"

It is completely to scold Hong Chengchou for being shameless Wang Ba.

On the first day of the first month of the new year, this kind of thing happened, how could Hong Chengchou not be angry, but he himself didn't expect to be angry!

It can be seen from this that the people in the capital at that time were so angry and hateful to the two ministers who sold themselves and begged for mercy.
