The executioners are slashing from the winter rain to the beginning of the rain, and in the end, they directly cut down the heads to the ground like robots.

And the hundreds of officials watching the execution have also changed from frightened and frightened to numb, and they are standing in place like wooden chickens.

Ma Wensheng also had a calm face, and smiled nonchalantly, frankly speaking, he couldn't bear to see so many Qingliu civil officials being killed, but when he thought of the death of the first emperor, and when he thought of these civil officials helping Liu Jian and others to control the government and make it difficult for the first emperor, he had to admit that this may really be the fastest and most effective way, and it is also the only way to deter people, ensure the safety of His Majesty, and ensure the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty gave preferential treatment to Confucian scholars, and these officials and gentry were too arrogant, and their arrogance was to the point of killing the king!

Ma Wensheng didn't dare to imagine that if these people were not severely punished this time, would they dare to kill the emperor again once the new emperor of the Ming Dynasty did not meet their wishes? !

Zhu Houzhao was also looking at all this coldly, he had experienced such a cruel thing in his previous life, but he could not be shocked, but when he saw these batches of Qingliu civil officials falling to the ground and bleeding in front of him, he was also asking himself if these people were innocent?

But Zhu Houzhao thought about it and felt that these people could not be regarded as innocent, not only these people, but also the family members of the anti-party could not be regarded as innocent, as the saying said, no snowflake was innocent when the avalanche occurred, Liu Jian and other anti-party representatives their interests, and it was they who constituted the confidence of Liu Jian and other anti-party parties to dare to kill the king, so the gentry group represented by these Qingliu civil officials was the culprit who killed Emperor Hongzhi!

Killing them is not an indiscriminate killing of innocents!

Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and other protégés who rebelled against the party, that is, these Qingliu civil officials, have now been killed!

There are a total of one hundred and sixteen civil officials, most of them are Hanlin ministers, Kedao officials, and civil officials in Beijing, and these people are the root of the intertwined power of the three cabinet ministers, and now they have been swept away!

All that remained on the ground were one hundred and sixteen human heads, and the blood stained red with the execution ground, and the cries and gloomy aura that still lingered around them.

"Let's go ahead and take a look!"

Zhu Houzhao said and took Liu Jin and other people to the execution ground, he did not take a sedan chair, only came on foot, and stepped on the blood-stained ground, however, Zhu Houzhao did not feel afraid, he never thought that one day he could make so many people head in a different place with a hook of his pen.

Zhu Houzhao had to admit that he could really do whatever he wanted to become an emperor who lived and died!

Zhu Houzhao looked at the hundreds of officials present and the people who were stopped outside by the officers and soldiers a hundred steps away, and had a feeling that all beings were ants, whether they were peddlers and pawns or princes and generals, but anyone who violated his will could still only become a ghost under the knife!

Zhu Hou ordered martial law in the capital according to the edict, but the city defense was only martial law, and the people were not allowed to go out of the city to escape from the accomplices who had rebelled against the party, but it was not forbidden for the people in the city to engage in commercial and entertainment activities, so there were also many people who came to the execution ground to watch the execution.

However, the killing of officials and masters is also something that makes them very happy to see, so no one shows dissatisfaction, the people show more indifference, in fact, the people's indifference is the greatest support for Zhu Houzhao, once they are not indifferent and interested in the struggle for political rights, it is time for them to rebel if they can't survive.

After the hundreds of officials watching the execution saw Zhu Houzhao appear, they all made a big salute honestly, and they didn't dare to come out, and they didn't even dare to look at Zhu Houzhao's eyes!

There's no way, the young emperor in front of him is really terrifying!

In less than three months, he killed the official and rebelled against the party, and now he has killed more than 100 Qingliu! This is no longer a killing god, but a butcher!

"I am a very kind and benevolent emperor!"

Zhu Houzhao didn't even believe it himself when he said this, but at this moment, no official dared to refute it.

"Now this is just for the sake of the Ming Dynasty, from the wishes of all the ministers", Zhu Houzhao's words still made the officials helpless and unable to refute, the emperor killed, but they had to carry the pot.

"And I don't want to stain the capital with blood, I actually just want to make a fortune with all my ministers and build a prosperous Ming Dynasty together, I am the Son of Heaven, you are the protégé of the Son of Heaven, we are a family, you are also my people, these killed civil officials are the same, they are also my protégés, my people, I love them, but they have no choice but to abandon their father and follow the traitor, I have to kill him, I regret it very much!"

After Zhu Houzhao said it, he couldn't help but look up to the sky and sigh!

"Your Majesty! These ministers do not understand the will of the monarch's father, and they flatter the thief and deceive the holy lord, and punish him for the sake of righteousness, and I hope that Your Majesty will not hurt himself! ”

Ma Wensheng is now deeply afraid that Emperor Zhu Houzhao will lose his heart of hard work because the first emperor was killed, and seeing that Zhu Houzhao is so sad and unbearable, he is busy persuading.

Seeing this, Jiao Fang and Xu Jin also hurriedly persuaded them, saying that these killed officials deserved their crimes, and they hoped that Zhu Houzhao would not be sad.

Other officials also persuaded one after another, after all, they also knew that it was politically correct to stand on the emperor's side now!

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "If they are as loyal to me as you are, how can they end up like this, if Liu Jian and they are loyal to the first emperor, there will be no today's situation, alas!" ”

After Zhu Houzhao finished performing the bitter love scene, he straightened his face again and became serious: "Rank ministers, you have also seen it now, this is the end of killing the king!" You are all my protégés, and it stands to reason that you will not form a party, even if someone seeks power to usurp the throne and kill the monarch and disrupt the government, it will not implicate you, but some of you like to vote under the minister, what do you like to do as a cabinet minister, not a minister of the Son of Heaven, but even if you look for a master, you have to wipe your eyes, don't find a minister who kills the monarch as the master, and when the time comes, it will affect yourself and your family, and the gains outweigh the losses! Just like these slain officials! ”

After hearing this, the officials present couldn't help but lower their heads, and they began to worry about whether the old Shangshu they attached to was really reliable, and at the same time, they secretly hoped that the Shangshu of the cabinet they attached to would not think about killing the king!

"I will make it clear today, my Ming Dynasty prohibits forming a party, and we must be dedicated to the public, since you are a minister of the Ming Dynasty, you should have the heart of seeking the well-being of the people and seeking prosperity for the Ming Dynasty!

"Of course, I also know the etiquette and etiquette, food and clothing and know the truth of honor and disgrace, I don't only know how to love the people and don't know compassion for you officials, Ma Gefu proposed to carry out the new dynasty, the first thing to implement in the new policy is to reform the rule of officials, and implement a new examination method.

"From next year, that is, the first year of Zhengde, your Yulu will be linked to your respective official positions and political achievements, and the law of the examination is not only punished, but also rewarded, and the aspect of the award naturally depends on your contribution, more than four or five times your Yulu, or less than one or two months more Yulu, in addition, I will also draw up the regulations for the New Year's reward, and how much Yulu treatment and reward will be added to you, depending on how much wealth can be copied from the traitor this time!"

At the beginning, Zhu Houzhao warned the hundred officials with the power of killing the Qingliu civil officials, and the hundred officials were even more frightened when they heard this, but now they heard that Zhu Houzhao wanted to improve their treatment, and most of the officials were more grateful to Zhu Houzhao.

Because they had heard that the emperor was going to implement the new policy to reform the bad government, but they didn't expect that the first thing the emperor would implement the new policy was to improve his own treatment, and suddenly they had a good impression of Zhu Houzhao while being afraid, and they thought to themselves that His Majesty didn't really only know how to kill.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao's implementation of the examination method and the increase of the income are only a good thing for the followers who do practical things, and it is still not a good thing for some corrupt officials who only know how to make money, after all, they can guess that no matter how much they increase the income, it is impossible to have more of their gray income, and no matter how the imperial court reforms the rule of officials, it is to reduce their gray income and force them to focus more on doing the right thing than making money.

However, Zhu Houzhao didn't want to win over these corrupt officials who just wanted to make money and get into the camp, he just wanted to give some officials who wanted to do practical things a good material guarantee and spiritual support, at least so that some officials with ideals would not sell their ideals because of firewood, rice, oil and salt!

And for those officials who only know how to make money without moderation, the most effective thing is to kill, and they are afraid to kill!

Only in this way can good money drive out bad money, and officials can know that there is no need to risk peeling the skin and grass to make money when they can also get good income through legitimate means.

In addition, now Zhu Houzhao said that the increase in the treatment of hundreds of officials has something to do with the income from raiding the house, so at this moment, the officials are not very resistant to the imperial court to raid the house against the party, and they are all thinking in their hearts that they don't know how much income they can get from raiding the house.

Zhu Houzhao himself is also thinking about it, what he lacks most now is money, after all, there will be military training and shipbuilding to develop industry in the future.

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but ask Liu Jin: "How is the copying of the house?" ”

"Back to the emperor, the Taiping Marquis has already begun!" Liu Jin replied.
