In front of the Fengtian Temple.

"The perfect Ming in my heart is very simple, that is, fairness, fairness, or Tamar's fairness!"

Yang Qing shouted with a copper trumpet.

In the huge square in front of him, the representatives of the four people and the officers and soldiers of the Beijing camp who were arrested by the Jinyi Guards in a daze all quietly looked up at him standing on the high pedestal, and the Fengtian Palace, which had not yet been repaired behind him, stood majestically, just like the Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty who built it back then, and those princes and ministers stood gloomily in the open door of the main hall, like countless ghosts in the gloom, looking helplessly at Yang Qing's back in the continuous spring rain in the eyes of the surrounding Jinyi Guards.

"So have you ever been fair?"

Yang Qing asked loudly.

"As farmers, do you have your own land?"

He then asked.

"Nope!"

The overwhelming majority of the peasant deputies said with sadness.

These were all forcibly brought at random outside the city of Nanjing, and many people did not even wash the mud off their legs, and almost all the land around Nanjing, except for the official fields, was owned by the nobles in the city, and they were basically tenants of the latter, and they needed to bear up to eighty percent of the land rent......

This is not an exaggeration.

The rent of the best paddy fields in Jiangnan can really reach 80%.

More than sixty percent is common, the more convenient the water source and the fertile soil, the higher the land rent, those landlords are careful to keep only a part of the tenants from starvation, and the natural rent of the fertile land with high yield must also be squeezed to the maximum.

"As craftsmen, is the silver you get worthy of your blood and sweat? Or will it allow you and your families to be fed and clothed, so that you will not wail in the cold of winter and weep in hunger? ”

Yang Qing said.

"I'm sorry!"

The craftsmen shouted with the same grief.

In a sense, the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty are worse than the peasants, because the latter still have the hope of getting ahead by studying, they do not, the craftsmen used to have to work for the government in shifts for free, and later changed to silver, that is, in exchange for not having to work shifts, but in fact this is even worse, at least they can be lazy when they work for the government, but then they must work hard to earn enough silver to hand over to the officials, and the rest can be used to support their wives and children.

"As a trader, can you not worry about extortion from officials?"

Yang Qing said.

The vendors were silent.

"Ask for loyalty and courage to be the master of the villain! The villain's ancestral shop was forcibly bought by the housekeeper of Xincheng Bofu for less than half the price! ”

A peddler suddenly knelt down and cried.

"Zhao Zhilong is disrespectful to the Queen Mother, he has been killed on the spot by Benjue, go back and copy his house, and return it to you after copying it out!"

Yang Qing said.

Immediately afterwards, he knelt down several times, all of them crying and accusing Xincheng Bofu of crimes, and it was obvious that Zhao Zhilong was also very resentful.

Anyway, of course Jin Yiwei won't go to those wealthy merchants, these are all small traders in Nanjing, and there are even several merchants, these people are usually blackmailed by officials, so it's not commonplace? How many of the merchants are really at the top of the pyramid like the Zheng family? The vast majority of them are those who earn hard-earned money at the bottom, and in fact, even those with a little bit of assets are basically left to the officials if they don't have a backer or fame.

"Any crimes of the Zhao family will be recorded afterwards, and they will be solved for you together when they raid the house!"

Yang Qing said.

"Then let me ask again, have you been fair?"

He then asked.

"Nope!"

Not to mention these three people, even those soldiers shouted, that is, those soldiers next to them looked at these Diao people and Qiu Ba proudly, not deceived by the nonsense of the eunuch leader in front of them.

"Originally, Emperor Daxing wanted to give you fairness step by step, and the new policy is the first step, first of all, let those officials and gentry pay as well as you, and give you fairness at this point, but this is only the first step of Emperor Daxing, and there will be more in the future. Emperor Daxing has already issued an edict to blame himself for being deceived by traitors and causing the people in chaos in the world, and he also thought about how to let the farmers and cultivators of the Ming Dynasty have their fields, so that the craftsmen of the Ming Dynasty can have enough food and clothing, so that the merchants of the Ming Dynasty have money, and the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty will no longer suffer from hunger and cold, but it is a pity that the ambition of the Emperor of Daxing has not been paid and he has fallen into the water in vain.

But the Emperor Daxing is gone, and I still have me.

I will complete the unpaid ambition of the Emperor Daxing!

You are willing to succeed to the throne, Princess Kunxing is in charge of Nanjing, and I help Princess Kunxing to complete the unfinished business of Emperor Daxing, all of whom stand on the left, and are willing to succeed King Fu or other clans, and then the new policy is canceled, and you continue to stand on the right as in the past. Someone said to me before that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, since you are the subjects of the Ming Dynasty like those princes and ministers, then it is up to you to make the choice today.

Those who win the hearts of the people win the world.

You are the hearts of the people! ”

Yang Qing roared.

There was chaos in the square immediately, and then everyone began to divide into left and right, and in the blink of an eye, the left side had an absolute advantage.

This result is still very satisfactory to Yang Qing.

"Wei Guogong, are you satisfied?"

He turned back to Xu Hongji and said.

"Satisfied, of course satisfied, Uncle Zhongyong, can we go?"

Xu Hongji said.

Obviously, he just took this as a joke, Yang Qing did this kind of thing in his opinion, and it was no different from the harlequin on the stage, these fart people decided to take the throne of the Ming Dynasty? It's just ridiculous! He actually wanted to coax Yang Qing first and then leave the palace to deploy the next move, at this time, Yang Qing could play whatever he wanted!

"Of course, no!"

Yang Qing said with a sinister smile.

"Everyone, please come here first, we have to announce this to the people!"

He went on to say.

Xu Hongji glanced behind him, and several other nobles had to step forward, together with Ma Shiying, Zhang Guowei and other ministers standing beside Yang Qing, and then Zhang Yan was also invited, and even Princess Kunxing and Yuan Guifei, who were guarding in front of Chongzhenling, were also invited to the front of Fengtian Palace, and officially announced to all the soldiers and civilians that the crown prince had ascended the throne, and Princess Kunxing was in charge of the edict of Emperor Daxing in Nanjing.

It has to be a testament.

Although Xu Hongji and others were very reluctant, they could only be vain and aggrieved at this time, acquiescing to everything in a wordless way.

Then under the co-chairmanship of Yang Qing and the completely dazed Shi Kefa, Princess Kunxing entered the Wuying Hall in court clothes and officially sat next to the throne, while Zhang Yan sat on the other side, in fact, she was considered an overseer, and of course the throne was empty, which was prepared for the new monarch in Beijing, when the new monarch came to Nanjing to sit on this throne again. As for the etiquette and everything, it is all put aside, and the princess is not in accordance with the etiquette law, which is actually a humiliation of science, and it can even be said to be a humiliation of the Confucian ideological system, so why do you still abide by those etiquette procedures based on Confucianism? In short, Her Royal Highness the princess was thus pushed to the throne of the prison country by Yang Qing in a daze and became the ruler south of the Qinling line of the Huai River.

Then the ministers paid homage.

The ministers finished worshipping the representatives of the four people and the soldiers.

However, there are also elements of discord.

"Si Chen, laugh at the world!"

A representative of the scholars stood there proudly and said.

"Take it down, send it to Changhua Prison, copy his house and send it to Changhua Prison together!"

Yang Qing said very simply.

"The people are not afraid of death, why should they be afraid of death!"

As he was dragged away by the brocade guard, the warrior struggled with all his might.

"You can be dissatisfied, but, since you are a minority, you must obey the majority, in the Ming Dynasty the four people are the same, no one is higher or lower who has more power, your status in this country is no different from a peasant, and the power of the same peasant is no different from yours, so even if you are dissatisfied, you have to shut up and accept this reality, if you dare to disrespect the prison country, you will be punished with a reverse crime!"

Yang Qing said to the remaining soldiers.

The latter was silent, and several who were still standing also knelt down hesitantly.

"Crazy, crazy!"

A voice behind Yang Qing whispered.

Yang Qing suddenly turned around.

Lu Daqi, the squire of the military department, hurriedly retracted among those ministers.

Princess Kunxing's prison ceremony ended simply and quickly.

Da Ming, almost the first princess in Chinese history, was born in this way.

Immediately after those military and civilian representatives received the silver as a reward for delaying their production, they left the palace first, and hundreds of thousands of people had already gathered outside the Chengtian Gate to wait, and immediately after they entered the palace, there were brocade guards in the people to spread the news, the ordinary people and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty actually had the right to participate in the succession to the throne, this kind of groundbreaking event naturally quickly made the whole Nanjing boil. When these people went out, through their word of mouth with excitement, then everyone in Nanjing knew that the prince of the Ming Dynasty inherited the throne, but Princess Kunxing supervised Nanjing, and the new policy implemented before was still the same, and the prison country will complete the unfinished business of the Daxing Emperor and continue to work hard for the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, there are also those who scold Si Chen, and the country will not be a country.

But in any case, the fact that commoners have the right to enter the palace and make a choice about the ownership of the throne can still be said to be shocking, and the result is not important to the common people.

The crown prince succeeded to the throne, which was a matter of course.

As for the question of Li Zicheng coercing the Son of Heaven to order the princes after the crown prince succeeded to the throne......

When the sky falls, there is a tall man on top, why do they need to worry about this, those princes and ministers are more worried about this than them! For the common people, the new deal can continue, this is the real benefit, especially for the soldiers in Beijing, the new deal directly benefits them, the official fields found out by the boundary can be distributed to them, and the increased taxes also ensure their military salaries, if other clans succeed to the throne, then I am afraid that the new deal will really be ruined.

But......

"Do you think that's the end of it?"

Looking at the back of Xu Hongji and the others leaving in a hurry, Shi Kefa said.

"No, I never thought it was the end, on the contrary I thought it was the beginning, and I'm looking forward to what they do next!"

Yang Qing said with a sinister smile.
