Chapter 294: Sacrifice to the Heavens

Nanjing, Yuanqiu.

A civilian official quietly squeezed next to Zhang Guowei, the secretary of the military department in a sacrificial uniform, handed him a piece of paper and left in a hurry.

Zhang Guowei looked down at the contents of the paper.

"Insufficient success, more than failure!"

He let out a long sigh.

Yuan Jixian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who was also wearing sacrificial clothes next to him, looked at him suspiciously.

Zhang Guowei handed him the paper.

Yuan Jixian looked at it, his face was gloomy and he didn't speak again, and directly stuffed the paper into his big sleeve, and at this time, the team they were in began to move forward slowly. All the civil and military officials before and after them are the tops of Qingluo Soap, plus the bottoms of Chiluo Soap, with a gold beam crown on their heads, but the number of beams is different in different grades, and Yang Qing and other lords in the front also have pheasant tails on the left. However, unlike the normal sacrifice led by the emperor, this time only the ministers were supposed to be led by the superintendents, but the ministers were unanimously opposed......

Are you trying to get her to play the Empress to the Throne?

The emperor can not appear in the sacrifice of the sky, he can send someone to replace it, this is not a big deal, the sacrifice is hierarchical, the big ritual is the emperor's horse, and the middle and small rituals can send ministers to do it for them.

As long as the last person to sacrifice is not punished.

Because only the emperor can suffer it.

The difference between the emperor and the minister is that the former has to drink blessed wine and receive the gloss, while the latter cannot. Therefore, Zhu Di's sacrifice to heaven in Beijing represents his official seizure of the throne, and this piece of meat represents the blessing of God Haotian and the destiny of heaven.

But Princess Kunxing oversaw the words of the country's sacrifice to the sky......

Are you Yang Qing ready to let her suffer?

If you don't prepare, then any person can replace her, and if you prepare, then are you going to play the empress to ascend the throne? This kind of special time is absolutely not good, in case Yang Qing pretended to be stupid during the sacrifice to the sky, so he finally served the blessing wine to his woman to drink, and then said that he was young and didn't understand......

It's not that he can't do it.

One of them was in his twenties and the other was eighteen, so they said that they didn't understand this, and directly left the procedure of receiving Zuo first, can the ministers really accuse the two of them of usurping the throne? When dealing with Yang Qing, you must guard against him playing a scoundrel, relying on his youth to commit murder and stir up trouble. As for the reason that the ministers relied on, it was also very simple, there was never a woman to officiate, as for Liu E or something, it was okay, fortunately, this matter was purely their heart, Yang Qing never thought about doing things in this matter at all, since this is the case, there is no need to dwell on this issue anymore, just change it to Yang Qing in the form of the emperor's entrustment!

As for the emperor, he didn't know at all......

Everyone ignores it, and it's not the first time that Nanjing Qunchen has played like this.

And this time, unlike the previous sacrifices, in addition to the ministers, there were also all the representatives of the four peoples, who followed the ranks of the ministers to the huge circular altar. They are not officials, but they also have their own sacrificial clothes, the scholars have separate scarves and deep clothes, and the others are scarves and silk clothes, which are the sacrificial clothes of the scholars and the common people, in fact, Yang Qing also wants to design a set of dresses for the representatives of the four peoples alone, but this time let's make do with it first.

As for the front, it is Yang Qing.

At this time, there was only one Duke of the Ming Dynasty left, Mu Tianbo, and the rest of the army was wiped out, but the Duke of Qianguo was in Yunnan, and he had no right to come to Nanjing without a special summons, and the highest titles in Nanjing were only Yang Qing and Chang Yanling. Only the two of them are marquises, the marquis of the Ma family has not yet been officially canonized, and Ma Wannian himself came to Nanjing to receive the title, and the rest, including Huang Degong and others, are all earls, in fact, Huang Degong is not here at this time, and he is still guarding Wuchang as the capital of Ezhou.

As for the clan, it is not in the ranks of this festival.

They are so idle that they won't come to cheer Yang Qing on.

This bastard has harmed them badly enough, saying that King Fu is such a big fat man, he has been tired in Huaixi for a few years, and he still has less than one hundred and sixty pounds left. Every day, with a smiling face, he waited in Fengyang to see a person from the north, so he went up and pulled people to climb the villagers, and in order to attract tenants to him, he even accepted 30% of the land rent. In this way, people still have to pick and choose, after all, it is more secure to go to Huangzhuang, at most he doesn't need to be a soldier there.

In other words, the vast majority of the clans are drawing circles and cursing Yang Qing!

Of course, that's all they have to offer.

At this time, the Marquis of Zhongyong wore a crown of seven beams and a pheasant tail, leading hundreds of civil and military officials and more than 2,000 representatives of the four people, and slowly walked up to the altar of the mound, because there were too many people behind, and he had to wait for a while before entering the Great Enjoyment Hall after walking up. At this moment, a staff officer also quietly walked to his side, and then whispered a few words, Yang Qing nodded indifferently and signaled him to retreat, and then looked back at Zhang Guowei and the others.

The latter smiled kindly.

It is said that this round of confrontation between the sages of Donglin and Donglin failed again, and the Huizhou incident ended with more than 100 dead bodies.

Of course, it was the bandits who died.

It must also be bandits, as for the gathering of the people in Huizhou, it has nothing to do with these bandits, it is the bandits on the Yellow Mountain who are called Zhensanshan, taking advantage of the gathering of the people, trying to fish in troubled waters and looting the people of She County. As a result, they happened to encounter the militia escorting Yang Sun's clan, and the two sides started a fierce battle, and finally the militia annihilated more than 100 enemies, and the remnants of the bandits fled to the mountains and forests, and the Xin'an Brigade and local officials will continue to pursue them.

As for the people gathered in Huizhou, they were spreading out to show their trust in the imperial court because they were grateful to the militia for protecting the local peace.

Of course, it's all scary.

Those gentry dare to play like this, mainly because they think that the militia will not kill, but now there are more than a hundred dead corpses, which makes them sober up, in the end, they do not dare to openly attack the militia, that is a rebellion, then there is no way to retreat, so they can only use the banner of bandits. If they can defeat the militia, then it's easy to say anything, the magistrate exaggerates the bandits, and then the bandits break through a few Huangzhuang to create a bloody case, as long as it can make a big deal to the extent that the situation in Huizhou is erosive, then Yang Qing can only give in to them.

After all, this is the core area of the Ming Dynasty.

This area can't be chaotic in any case, it can be said that as long as the bandits they create are so big that they must be suppressed by the regular army of the Ming army, then Yang Qing can only give in.

It's not worth it for a fugitive slave.

After fighting for so long, they all know that Yang Qing is actually the person who knows how to measure the most.

However, if you can't beat the militia, it's still a fart!

It's not just that it can't be beaten, it's completely crushing, and those who pretend to be bandits are the main thugs raised by each family, and they are all very capable of fighting, and some of them are also real bandits, how can there be so clean between the gentry and bandits in these years. As a result, five hundred to three hundred, less than a quarter of an hour to make the family more than a hundred, and even the militia who were excited to be beaten came to a counter-charge, and the dense spear forest was crucified to more than thirty at a time, and then the rest were scattered.

What a!

That's not how to stand up for the Fang family.

At this time, even the Fang family had already begun to retreat!

After all, in order to avenge Young Master Fang, their family took more than a dozen lives at once, and they don't know how much they will take if they continue to make trouble, the family is indeed stubborn, but they are also the most knowledgeable about advancing and retreating, and they know how to weigh interests the most. The Fang family is not one, Young Master Fang's family is only the patriarch of one of them, his father was burned by the pain of losing his son, but there is no need for the other branches to go crazy.

In particular, several other militia brigades, including the Xuancheng Brigade, have begun to assemble.

Since it is a bandit, of course it has to be suppressed.

The militia of the Ming army is a military region, and a military region is an army, and the control within the military region means that it has the right to mobilize the militia of all brigades to carry out anti-bandit operations or large-scale disaster relief.

It's a fart for this combat power gap!

After all, the fugitive slave belonged to the Fang family, and the other families were indignant at most, at least so far, their interests had not really been touched.

"It's going to turn off the fire, it's not enough at all, so let's just pour another bucket of gasoline!"

Yang Qing muttered to himself.

Chang Yanling next to him looked at him suspiciously.

"Marquis Zhongyong, the old man thinks you seem to be ill-intentioned again!"

Elder often sarcastic.

He doesn't have any real power now, not even a political vase, after all, the vase has to be seen by someone, but after the burning of the Marquis's Mansion, he doesn't even have anyone to see, at most it is a political discard. Poor Lao Chang basically didn't go out of the gate of the Hou Mansion during this time, but he was also considered to be a child, but he was a fart at his age.

This has to be regarded as Yang Qing's.

"Marquis Huaiyuan, you have a lot of slaves and maids at home, right?"

Yang Qing said with a smile.

"The old man's family affairs, there is no need to worry about the loyal and brave marquis."

Chang Yanling said.

"If you don't worry about it, I don't have to worry about the slaves and maids of the Yuanhou family, but I also have to worry about all the slaves and maids in this world, they are all the people of China, and they are all the families blessed by Haotian God, and these slaves and maids can't be regarded as another kind!"

Yang Qing said.

"As far as I know, there are more slaves and maids in the Zhongyong Marquis family than the old man, right?"

Chang Yanling said disdainfully.

This is the truth, there are more than 2,000 slaves in the Yang Qing family, and basically the Yang family's property is taken care of by these domestic slaves under the leadership of Chen Yuanyuan, and even the army has his domestic slaves. As for the concubines and maidservants, not to mention, his evil act of robbing Li Xiangjun back then caused the public outrage of the wealthy family, and Kou Baimen, who was also robbed, although these two people are considered his concubines, they are both his slaves to be precise.

"That's why I'm particularly concerned about this issue, you said that if I directly order, all the slaves and maids of the Ming Dynasty will be released as good people, and all the deeds of sale will no longer have any legal effect, how will those who keep slaves and maids react?"

Yang Qing said.

"Uh, what do you want to do?"

Chang Yanling said with a sense of foreboding.

Yang Qing didn't speak, just smiled evilly at him, then took out a holy decree from his arms and waved it in front of him, and then walked straight to the Great Enjoyment Hall in front, stuffing the holy decree into his arms as he walked......
