As soon as Liu Ximing said this, there were even more doubts in the crowd.

This is really new, and it is the first time I have heard of a king who does not need the people to submit.

Seeing this, Liu Ximing hurriedly waved his sleeve and suppressed his voice:

"Since ancient times, emperors have been called the Son of Heaven, and Shangshu also says that the Son of Heaven is the parent of the people and thinks that he is the king of the world.

But I don't think it's right, everyone is human, the emperor is the son of God, but every one of my people in China is also a son of God, the so-called son of heaven should be the eldest son of heaven. ”

In the audience, the people of Nanjing were stunned but felt very excited.

The emperor is the son of God, and he is also the son of God?

But when everyone thought about it, it seemed that this truth also made sense, everyone is human, if it is not the son of God, what is it.

"It is precisely because the emperor is the eldest son of God, the so-called eldest brother is like a father, when God is unwilling to take care of things, the emperor will carry out the duties of God."

"But everyone pay attention, the emperor is the eldest brother, although he can discipline the people, but what he should do is to let the people of the whole world live a good life."

"But if you think about it, which of our previous emperors sat on these, take the emperor of the Zhu family as an example, every child of the Zhu family was supported by our people all over the world with their hard-earned money."

"These people sing and dance, big fish and meat, how can they ever consider whether God's other sons can eat enough and wear warm clothes, should such a dynasty be extinct?"

"Yes!"

The tens of thousands of people present shouted violently.

Many people were reminded of Liu Ximing's words, and their eyes were red.

Liu Ximing is already looking for legitimacy for his regime.

Different from the divine authority of the monarchy of the Chinese dynasties, what the Han Dynasty wanted to open up was the divine authority of the monarch but it had to be recognized by the people, so as to limit the monarchy.

As for why the monarchy was not completely overthrown as in later generations, the political ecology at this time did not allow it.

During the Xinhai Revolution, it was because the people of the whole country had endured decades of foreign ideological influences that they were so resistant to the monarchy.

Even so, there are still a lot of old and young people in the Qing Dynasty, and there are still many people who regard pig's tail as their ancestor's thing.

Moreover, the chaos of the Republic of China period was also there, which was simply intolerable for Liu Ximing, who wanted to seize the golden opportunity period of the Age of Discovery.

Another reason is that, as a person who has come from the past, Liu Ximing is deeply aware that there will inevitably be certain strata in any regime.

In this case, it is better to let your children and grandchildren sit on it than to cheapen others.

At least you can't let people drive Big G to a certain palace.

Seeing the excitement of the crowd below, Liu Ximing instigated with empathy:

"The widow inherits the mandate of heaven, expells the Tartars, and restores China, but the widow promises that there will never be the kind of emperor and nobleman Zhumen in the Ming Kingdom that smells of wine and meat, and the people of the world have frozen bones, all of this starts without kneeling, do you understand?"

"Understood"

"Long Live the Han King"

The crowd erupted in cheers.

Liu Ximing, the king of the Han Dynasty, rose to a higher level in the eyes of the people of Nanjing.

Only then did Liu Ximing turn around and point to Qian Qianyi and the others who were escorted to kneel on the stage.

"Today, we are here specifically to try these traitors who have surrendered to the enemy, and it is precisely because of them that the Tartars have been able to drive straight into Jiangnan, and my people in Jiangnan want to accumulate money and rat tails such a shameful shame, do you think they should be killed?"

"Kill, kill!"

On the stage, Qian Qianyi and the others trembled even more.

Qian Qianyi couldn't help but yell again:

"King Mingjian of the Han Dynasty, the Tartars are powerful, how can we fight them without soldiers and salaries, it is precisely in order to prevent millions of people in Nanjing City from being destroyed, we surrender to the Tartars, it is really not our intention."

Duke Xuzhou Jue of Wei and others immediately cried, "However, we had to surrender in order to protect the people, and it really has nothing to do with traitors." ”

Liu Ximing angrily kicked Xuzhou Jue to the ground.

"It's okay for the others, but it's you nobles who should be killed the most."

"When the Ming Dynasty was here, you waited for the rest with the country and enjoyed the glory and wealth, but you didn't want to be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, but became the silverfish of the country, and once the disaster came, it was a bite back and directly surrendered to the enemy."

"You are such nobles, what is the use, come to someone, take all the Ming nobles in this Nanjing city into custody, and prosecute them from Tingwei Temple to Dali Temple, and agree on their crimes!"

"Whoa"

The Han soldiers on the side roared violently, and directly dragged Xuzhou Jue and others, who were crying for their fathers and mothers, down.

There was silence around the venue, who would have thought that King Han, who was still full of kindness just now, was now like thunder.

Liu Ximing turned his head to look at the generals around him, and told everyone in a deep voice:

"All the generals of my Han army remember, when my Han Dynasty founded the country, there must be a large number of people who have been knighted, and what Fang Cai said was not only to Xuzhou Jue and others, but also to you."

"Since you have been knighted, you must be loyal to the king, otherwise what is the use of waiting for you. Li Biao! ”

"The minister is here", Li Biao burst out of the ranks.

"Tell the words of the widow to the whole army and the ministers of civil and military affairs, and let them have a deep understanding of this."

"Decree of the Minister"

Li Biao clenched his fists and bowed, but shook his head at Xu Xujue and the others in his heart.

As soon as the will of the King of Han was conveyed, Dali Temple and Tingwei Temple would definitely sentence them heavily, and Li Biao directly gave them a death sentence in his heart.

In fact, Li Biao's conjecture was also very correct, and in the subsequent approval, the former Ming and Wei princes of Dali Temple of the Han Dynasty were unable to serve the country after retiring with the country, and most of them were directly sentenced to death.

As soon as this case came out, it directly shocked the whole country.

Qian Qianyi and the others were already slumped on the ground with fright at this time.

Wang Duo, a scholar of the Hongguang Dynasty, was so frightened that he peed his pants, causing a group of sergeants to cover their mouths and snicker.

Liu Ximing looked at Qian Qianyi, Wang Duo and the others with a look of disgust.

"You don't have to worry too much, my Han is a country governed by law, everything must pay attention to evidence, and the court will judge it, you also saw it just now, although Xuzhou Jue and others are extremely evil, but the widow still has to order Dali Temple to judge this reason."

Qian Qianyi's face was pale and relieved, so it seems that he and the others don't have to die today.

Liu Ximing turned his head to look at the onlookers in Nanjing.

"Qian Qianyi, the word is accepted, the name Mu Zhai, is a well-known Confucian in Jiangnan, you have heard of him in the past, right? What is your impression of him? ”

"People say that this old thief is highly educated and morally noble, and his group of students and grandchildren still hype that this old thief is a great Confucian."

Someone in the audience said loudly.

Liu Ximing nodded, "Yes, Qian Qianyi was known as the leader of Donglin before, and when it comes to who comes from, it is not a lofty posture, in their voice system, they are the Donglin Party talents who are the most morally noble, the most concerned about the suffering of the world, and the most loyal to the imperial court." ”

But now, everyone has seen through their faces. The widow can clearly say that what the Donglin Party has fought for in the court for decades has nothing to do with the people of Jiangnan, but most of them have fattened themselves. ”

"What the Donglin Party has been fighting about in recent years, is not to collect commercial taxes or mining taxes, and they call the Ming Dynasty a competition for profits with the people."

The people in the audience were puzzled for a while, isn't this a competition with the people?

Liu Ximing shook his head and smiled: "May I ask, among the people in the world, are there many people who are engaged in business, more mining or more farming?" ”

"Naturally, there are many farms, and ordinary people who have the money to go into business and open mines."

Liu Ximing nodded, "That's right, the people who farm the land in the world are all the people, but the people who do business and open mines are all gentry, that is, people like Qian Qianyi, now the imperial court can't collect business taxes, and the tax burden in the world will naturally be passed on to the people." ”

"May I ask you, have you heard about the extravagant things of the rich merchants in Jiangnan, and the widow clearly tells you that they rely on looting your people's wealth to support them."

"In the annual financial revenue of the Ming Dynasty, there are 26 million stones of grain and only 3 million taels of silver, and the commercial tax of these 3 million taels cannot even account for 300,000 taels."

"But do you know how much gold and silver Jianyu looted from Jiangnan?"

Liu Ximing looked shocked and compared two fingers, "As much as 30,000 taels of silver, these are all the property of the Jiangnan gentry, they don't want to give any money to the imperial court, all of them have to be paid by you ordinary people." ”

Pointing to Qian Qianyi and the others behind him, Liu Ximing said with a relaxed face:

"For example, this Mr. Qian Qianyi, his family wealth is as high as one million taels, and his land is as high as tens of thousands of acres, do you still think he is the same as you?"

"Wow"

At this moment, the people of Nanjing who were watching around were not just about to fry the pot, but almost exploded in place.

30,000 taels of silver, and he can earn a dozen taels of silver at most a year.

The people of Nanjing instantly turned from good citizens to lemon essence.

Looking at Qian Qianyi and others, the people of Nanjing are already full of disgust.
