Text Chapter 507 Murder and Arson
Zhu Hongsan laughed secretly in his heart when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, this old Tong planned to take advantage of Ma Mingyuan's absence to prepare to occupy more official positions, which would fulfill his wish.
At this time, Li Chengen brought up two cups of tea, and Zhu Hongsan motioned for Tong Yangjia to sit down.
Zhu Hongsan picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said unhurriedly: "This matter is too implicated, let's wait until the whole cabinet arrives in Nanjing!" When the time comes, your cabinet will discuss what to do! β
Tong Yangjia sighed secretly in his heart, the emperor is very shrewd, and it seems that he wants to have more official positions. But Tong Yangjia didn't come here today for this, he has other important things!
"Your Majesty, the minister has a few words that I want to report alone! Can you let Gonggong Li avoid it! β
Zhu Hongsan was stunned, Tong Yangjia still has something to say to himself, is it the Ma family's business?
Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and asked Li Chengen to go out and wait.
"Sir, if there's anything, tell me!"
Tong Yangjia stared at Zhu Hongsan's eyes and asked word by word: "Your Majesty, is that edict done by Your Majesty!" β
Zhu Hongsan didn't expect Tong Yangjia to ask about this matter, so he paused and said, "That incident!" Of course, it is really the edict of Taizu, I am the descendant of Emperor Taizu, so I can do such a dirty thing! β
Tong Yangjia heard Zhu Hongsan deny it, and scolded angrily in his heart, I don't know who you Zhu Hongsan is? Much more than this filthy thing!
"Your Majesty, do you know how detrimental this edict is to Your Majesty's great cause?"
Zhu Hongsan is very confused, didn't he react well in the afternoon?
"Mr. Tong, that's not right! Didn't Liu Bang also make something about the White Emperor and the Red Emperor back then? I don't think anyone says how Liu Bang is! β
As soon as Zhu Hongsan's words came out, Tong Yangjia knew that this matter was arranged by the emperor himself.
"Your Majesty, your situation now is not at all what Liu Bang was at that time, Liu Bang was in Mangdang Mountain, he had no identity and no army, of course he wanted to attract people's attention through this kind of thing! But Your Majesty, you are different, Your Majesty has ascended the throne and become the emperor, and if you still get these things, you have to draw snakes, and if you don't get it right, you have to be realistic! β
"No, I saw that all the ministers at that time were sincerely shouting long live, they may not have seen through it!"
Tong Yangjia was really defeated by Zhu Hongsan's ignorance, this emperor is shrewd and frightening, feeling that he can predict the prophet, but he is not as wise as a child.
"Your Majesty, these people are all dependent on Your Majesty for survival, how can they say that it makes Your Majesty unhappy?"
Zhu Hongsan looked at Tong Yangjia with strange eyes: "Then why did Mr. Tong say it?" β
"Your Majesty, the old minister is different from those ministers, several of us are close to His Majesty, the king humiliated the ministers to death, the old minister must explain this matter to His Majesty!"
After Tong Yangjia said this, Zhu Hongsan reacted, yes! If he is unlucky, the other ministers can change the emperor to be an official, but Ma Mingyuan, Ma Jiyuan, Feng Ziyong, and Tong Yangjia will definitely not be able to escape.
Zhu Hongsan, who thought clearly, hurriedly asked: "Mr. Tong, I didn't think about it so far-reaching at the time, what can I do now?" β
Tong Yangjia sighed, and then said: "The holy decrees of the emperors of all dynasties must be archived, fortunately, Nanjing is in our hands, and we can make up for it, but this edict will be difficult to do in the future!" β
Zhu Hongsan was puzzled, in the future? In the future, if you unify the world by yourself, then what is difficult to do!
"Mr. Tong, in the future, I will unify the world, and this edict will be useless!"
Tong Yangjia smiled bitterly, "My Majesty, the edict is not difficult to handle now, no matter how much we say that our strength is stronger than that of Guiwang Zhu Youlang, there is nothing they can do about it!" But what about later? If His Majesty's descendants have a mind, can they also use this edict to appease again? β
Zhu Hongsan only knew what he was wrong when he heard Tong Yangjia say this, right! This kind of thing is too powerful, if the unlucky descendant of his later life wants to usurp the throne, just say that he is in the edict of Taizu. Damn, I knew it was so troublesome that I might as well not use this strategy!
Zhu Hongsan hurriedly grabbed Tong Yangjia's hand and asked, "Sir, what should I do now?" β
"Hey! The minister doesn't know, only one step at a time! β
Now that the matter has spread, there is really no good way except for Zhu Yuanzhang to resurrect and take back the edict.
Zhu Hongsan watched Tong Yangjia say goodbye and leave, his heart was irritable, and he sat in the room for a while.
Li Chengen wondered what Tong Yangjia and His Majesty said just now, why was His Majesty so angry!
"Emperor, it's late, it's time to rest!"
Zhu Hongsan nodded, the anger in his heart rose, and he said to Li Chengen: "Lao Li, you go to those Manchurian families to find two fourteen or fifteen women, damn it, these stinky old nine said that Hongguang can kill two virgins in one night, Lao Tzu wants to try to do it himself!" Zhu Hongsan watched Li Chengen go out, thought about it again and shouted: "Lao Li, find one, play one first!" β
Zhu Hongsan tossed this night, and in the end, he couldn't kill a virgin, let alone two. The next morning, Zhu Hongsan had to get up early to enthrone the throne, and when he got up, he saw the fourteen-year-old girl lying on the bed, and after a night of ravaging the little girl, she hadn't gotten up. The more Zhu Hongsan looked, the more angry he became, he didn't get angry last night, and now he was even more angry when he saw this little girl sleeping sweetly.
"Damn, I was so tired last night that you were comfortable!" After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he took out a waist knife from the hand of the Jinyi guard at the door and stabbed the little girl to death on the bed, pitiful that little girl died tragically in Zhu Hongsan's hands at the same age as fourteen years old.
After killing someone, Zhu Hongsan felt a lot better, and said to Li Chengen: "Carry this woman out and bury it well!" β
Zhu Hongsan's mood also improved after the anger was released, and he said with a smile: "Lao Li, do you think this is considered to kill a virgin?" β
Li Chengen knew that this emperor was ruthless and unjust, and said tremblingly: "The emperor is fierce and fierce, so he naturally counts!" β
Zhu Hongsan, who was in a good mood, laughed when he heard Li Chengen's flattery, and at the same time thought in his heart, what kind of damn edict, Lao Tzu is Lao Tzu! Murder and arson of gold belts, repair bridges and repair roads without corpses, Lao Tzu is dead, no matter how flooding he is behind him, how to love his mother.
After thinking about it, Zhu Hongsan put on a ceremonial dress under the service of Li Chengen, and then came to the Fengtian Hall in front of him under the escort of five hundred brocade guards, and began to call himself a lonely widow!
ββββββββ Dividing Lineββββββββ
At the same time that Zhu Hongsan ascended the throne in Nanjing, Zhu Hongsan's second son Zhu Jiang was still raising pigs here on Zhoushan Island.
Zhu Jiang has lost the vigor he had when he first came this month, and no matter who stayed with hundreds of fat pigs for a month, he had no lofty ideals.
In the first few days after he arrived, Zhu Jiang happily threw himself into the great cause of raising pigs, and every day he had to take his ten-member pig raising team to hunt pigweed, and he also pushed several carts to Zhoushan Port, more than ten miles away, to collect the remaining swill from the army canteen. However, as this kind of boring and disgusting work became a daily routine, Zhu Jiang disliked this job more and more. Every day after Zhu Jiang gets up, what he looks forward to most is to come back to sleep after dark, although the bedroom is not far from the pigsty, and there is a smell of pig manure and swill mixed in the house, but lying on the bed makes Zhu Jiang feel that another day has passed.
In addition to these, what made Zhu Jiang unbearable was their company commander, the one-eyed dragon Jiang Pengju, who had already come to raise pigs, and the one-eyed dragon company commander was still training them like a madman. In addition to doing a good job in raising pigs, the whole company has to do a drill every three days, and I don't know how Jiang Pengju got more than 20 muskets to make these pig guys enjoyable.
At the beginning, Zhu Jiang was indeed addicted to a musket, but as soon as the freshness of this thing passed, it became a burden, and it was difficult to endure the flat lifting of the musket for an hour at a time, not to mention what else was there to stand in a military posture, tidy up housekeeping, and so on.
Today is the time to hunt pigweed, Zhu Jiang is the platoon commander, he has a little privilege, and he doesn't have to follow those big-headed soldiers to work, and now Zhu Jiang is lying in the grass on the hillside looking at the sky.
Now this kind of life in the army is completely different from what he yearns for, Zhu Jiang read books when he was a child, and whenever he reads about Wei Qinghuo Quai's and other famous generals chasing the Huns and Mobei, his blood is boiling, but now his military career is completely different from his ideals. Zhu Jiang even wondered if his father was deliberately letting himself suffer in order to clear the way for the crown prince Zhu Hai, so that he would retreat from the difficulties.
Zhu Jiang thought so, but he didn't say so in the letter to his mother every half month, he knew that his mother had high expectations for himself, so he said in the letter how hard he trained and how strict the chief was, and he didn't mention raising pigs at all.
Zhu Jiang was thinking nonsense here, and his little soldier Song Li came over and asked, "Sir, the pigweed is finished, let's go back!" β
Zhu Jiang nodded, got up and patted the soil on his body, and transported the pigweed back with ten soldiers.
said that it was ten soldiers, but in fact, the eldest of these people was Zhu Jiang, fourteen years old, and the other ten were all children of twelve or thirteen, Zhu Jiang said that he was a platoon leader, but in fact he was just a child.
These children are all orphans in the war in Nanzhili, the young were sent to Guangdong by Zhu Hongsan, and raised by welfare institutions.
Zhu Jiang took the people back to his grass shed, first chopped the pigweed, then mixed it with the swill, and began to feed the pigs. It is said that it is swill, it is really the same as water, after all, there are still many people starving to death in this world, so there is no leftovers in Zhoushan Port, and pigweed is still the main way to feed pigs.
After finishing the work, they began to eat lunch, this is the time when these baby soldiers are most looking forward to, this era generally eats two meals, the common people pay attention to one dry and one thin, because they have to go out to work in the morning, so they eat well, and when they come back at night, it is rare, only some large families are three meals a day.
Zhu Hongsan adhered to the cognition of later generations, and at the beginning of the founding of the army, it was stipulated that there must be three dry meals a day, and each meal must have meat in it, so Zhu Hongsan's new army ate the best, and ate better than some small landlords.
