Chapter 96: This is the loss of the civilian clique
The people of Yuyao County are furious!
They didn't expect Xie Qian to be such a person, and all of a sudden, Xie Qian's monumental image in their minds collapsed!
Many people have begun to rush in and kill Xie Qian and smash Xie's family.
And Deng Bing took out his sword with the officers and soldiers and stopped the people.
At this time, Lu Ju's officers and soldiers accidentally copied a lot of gold and silver from the Liuxiang Cave.
Silver ingots as big as dustpans and gold bars as big as shoes were carried out one by one.
Not only that, but also the bodhisattvas made of gold and the great birds made of silver were carried out.
And the things of gold and silver that were carried were not finished for many days.
Deng Bing and Lu Ju were also nobles, and they had also seen a lot of gold and silver, but they were both stunned at this time.
Lu Ju couldn't help but ask Xie Qian: "Xie Qian, didn't you say that you are an honest official?" Don't you have a lot of gold or silver at home? ”
Xie Qian didn't answer Lu Ju's words, he knew that he couldn't hide it, and he also knew that the gold and silver he had been in the cellar for many years would naturally not be able to be kept now that it was discovered, so he could only admit it.
At this time, the soldiers who announced the new will of the imperial court also arrived here, and immediately informed Deng Bing to execute the vassals who were under the wing of the Xie Qian family, as well as the protégés and Qingke.
After Deng Bing received the order, he immediately began the execution of Xie Jiahaonu and his protégé Qingke.
"Bring it up!"
Deng Bing shouted loudly, and the first batch of Xie Jiahao slaves were escorted up.
"Kill!"
As soon as Deng Bing's voice fell, there was a click, and dozens of heads rolled down!
Xie Qian couldn't help but close his eyes when he saw this, these powerful slaves who had done a lot of evil things for him were now all killed, and he couldn't stand it in his heart.
At this time, the people who had been deceived by Xie Qian, a hypocrite, were no longer in the mood to sympathize with these Xie family slaves, and they only looked at them indifferently.
Again, the indifference of the people is the greatest support for the officers and soldiers.
Deng Bing ordered a group of Xie Jiahao slaves to be arrested.
One by one, these slaves still shouted to Xie Qian: "Master, save us!" ”
Xie Qian naturally couldn't save them now.
The slaves were once again cut down to the ground.
One batch after another, on the fifth day, in addition to Xie Qian's relatives and relatives, the Hao slaves and others related to the Xie family were all executed!
After the raid was completed, Xie Qian, his clansmen and relatives were escorted to Beijing along with all the confiscated property of the Xie family.
Xie Qian is obviously no longer popular with his neighbors, and his prisoner car has been thrown by the people from the beginning of the Xie family's courtyard, throwing rotten vegetable leaves, stones, and even filth.
Xie Qian is also used to enjoying happiness, where can he stand such abuse, he has to cry and beg the officers and soldiers who escorted him: "Official, please, please don't let them throw things and hit me, Xie really can't stand it, for the sake of me being a cabinet assistant, let me be escorted to Beijing with dignity, okay?" ”
Since he knew Xie Qian's beastly and hypocritical side, the officers and soldiers who escorted him didn't have a good impression of him, and they only glared at Xie Qian and ignored Xie Qian.
Xie Qian is now uncomfortable, itching underneath and smelling at the top, because he rubbed hard in the prisoner car that day, and now he still has some hot pain.
Today's Xie Qian can be said to be worse than death, and shouted: "Please, let Xie take a bath?" ”
No one paid attention to Xie Qian.
Xie Qian can now be regarded as experiencing the taste of being despised and disgusted by everyone, and he will occasionally cry because of it on the road: "Why, why is this happening, why is this, Li Dongyang, why do you want Your Majesty to know about our murder of the monarch!" At the beginning, if I had listened to me and killed Zhang Yu and them, it wouldn't have been, woo! ”
While crying, Xie Qian looked at the relatives behind him who had become prisoners like himself and the property that his family had looted for many years, and his heart ached even more.
And Xie Qian's clansmen don't have a good impression of Xie Qian now, and even hate it, not only because of Xie Qian's animal behavior, but also because Xie Qian's behavior of killing the monarch has affected them.
When the Xie clan knew that Xie Qian was involved in the crime of killing the king, they all wanted to question why Xie Qian wanted to kill the first emperor, so that they affected themselves.
Not only Xie Qian's clansmen, but also Li Dongyang and Liu Jian's clansmen.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian have now truly tasted the taste of being abandoned by the whole world, not only the entire civil official group abandoned them, but also the clan behind them, and even the clan behind them had to accompany them to be martyred.
This is the consequence of the murder of kings when it is discovered!
After all, at this time, the Ming Dynasty is an ethical society, and all the laws of society are based on ethics, and the most important relationship between ethics is the relationship between monarchs and ministers!
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and others who destroyed this ethical relationship naturally suffered the most severe punishment in this society.
How Zhu Houzhao punishes them will be taken for granted by the people of this era.
Of course, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian, and others also knew the consequences, but they didn't expect that the matter of killing the monarch would be exposed, and they originally wanted to make the matter of killing the monarch a secret forever, so that they could use the ethical relationship with Zhu Houzhao as a teacher and student to maintain the interests of their entire gentry group.
But now they have failed, and they have gone from being the most respected cabinet assistant to the traitors who kill the king!
At the same time, their actions have also caused the civilian clique to suffer huge losses, facing a huge crisis of confidence in the ruling empire.
Relatives and eunuchs, as well as the military attaché group, were not trusted as a political group because they had historically wreaked havoc on the stability of the empire.
And now people find out that the civilian clique does not seem to be reliable either!
The power of the civilian clique has undoubtedly suffered a great loss in the case of Liu Jian and others killing the king.
At the same time, it was also a tragic defeat for the civilian clique, which had almost forgotten that they might face such a defeat since the civil fort.
Zhu Houzhao did not stop weakening the power of the civilian clique, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to avenge Emperor Hongzhi to frighten the clique that threatened the imperial power, and establish his own imperial majesty!
Liu Jian and other living people will not forgive, and people like Liu Daxia, who participated in the murder of the monarch but are dead, are also unforgivable.
Zhu Houzhao approved the proposal of some officials to whip Liu Daxia's body and confiscate his family.
Liu Daxia probably didn't expect him to face such an ending, just as he didn't expect that he would be fried with nitroglycerin by Zhu Houzhao at that time.
In addition to Lu Zhonghe and others involved in the massacre of the people, those involved in the murder of the monarch have all been arrested in Beijing, and those who should have been copied have also been copied.
Zhu Houzhao is now going to start executing the main culprits involved in the murder of the king.
Frankly speaking, because he has now inherited Zhu Houzhao's feelings, he also has a very strong desire in his heart to severely punish these people who killed his father!
However, before executing these people, he had to meet them in person, and he wanted to see what kind of mood they were in now.
