Chapter 559: Butcher Li Yu
The huge Jinling opened its doors to welcome new conquerors, just as it did thirty years ago when the ancestor Li Yu ascended the throne and became emperor...... The flowers bloom, the tide rises and falls, among the ten countries, the largest and the strongest, the only one that can compete with the Central Plains, is finished, and the smoke is gone.
Although their Emperor His Majesty was still in Yangzhou and making a last effort for the country, the high-ranking officials, families, clans, wealthy merchants, and even scribes of the Southern Tang Dynasty collectively abandoned the country and switched to the new master.
From their smiling faces, there is no trace of sadness and nostalgia.
The so-called change of dynasty or the destruction of the country or the death of the family, it is just a change of banner on the head of the city!
Ye Hua was riding on horseback, and he suddenly felt very uncomfortable.
"Han Xianggong, isn't it a little too fast?"
Han Xizai's brows were furrowed, his face was unswerving, and his voice was a little hoarse, "Lord Hou has seen the first emperor destroy the Han with his own eyes, isn't that easier?" ”
"yes!"
Ye Hua thought about it, in order to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, starting from Guo Wei, he made a layout for the southern expedition, and he spent so much effort to march in two directions, it stands to reason that it is very rare to be able to survive until this time.
"Han Xianggong, do you think Da Zhou will have such a day?" Ye Hua seemed to ask casually.
Han Xizai was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head categorically.
"No, absolutely not!" Han Xizai said with confidence: "The Great Zhou Dynasty implements Juntian, which is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the hundreds of millions of people in the world are all focused on the imperial court, as long as the achievements of Juntian are still there, no one can subvert the Great Zhou!" ”
Ye Hua smiled, his and Han Xizai's views were so consistent!
That's right, as long as Junda is still around, the basis of the empire is solid.
Li Hongji's mistake was that he put his foundation on the gentry and bureaucrats, thinking that they could be loyal to the empire and spill all their blood, but these people are just grass on the wall, falling with the wind, and they are not even one ten-thousandth of the reliability of ordinary people.
Ye Huaxin was glad, and under the support of a group of ministers, he entered Jinling.
Feng Yanji and Song Qiqiu did everything they could to curry favor with Ye Hua, they swept the streets clean, the trees on both sides were decorated with lights, and even wrapped the trunks in silk.
Creates a feeling of blooming flowers.
They also found a lot of people, on both sides of the street, kneeling together, a sea of people, when Ye Hua came over, someone took the lead in shouting, to welcome Wang Shi, and then the people followed.
It looks like a tsunami of mountains and mountains, but it's always a little bit of a bad taste.
Fu Zhaoxin rode to Ye Hua's side, glared at a few old goods viciously, and then said to Ye Hua: "Master Hou, the person was hired by them, and after shouting, he can receive a pound of rice and a penny!" ”
No wonder!
Ye Hua shook his head, a few old people were quite embarrassed, but fortunately, they didn't know what their faces were.
Feng Yanji hurriedly said: "The hardships of the people in the city are all due to Li Hongji's perverse behavior, cruelty and unkindness, and excessive exploitation. Now that the king has entered the city, Jinling has a new look, and it is also the proper meaning to open a warehouse and release grain, so that they can bathe in the emperor's grace. ”
What a clever tongue!
Ye Hua didn't bother to talk nonsense, just smiled. He took his men and horses to the outside of the Jinling Imperial Palace and looked at the still majestic Imperial Palace. There are already people waiting at the gate of the palace, and they want to open the gate and invite Ye Hua in.
"Don't!"
Ye Hua waved his hand, "Whether it's true or not, it's a palace." We, as courtiers, had better not go in. Waiting for the army of the Son of Heaven to come, please enter the palace first! ”
As soon as Ye Hua turned around, he asked Yang Ye to send someone to seal the palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty.
Feng Yanji's gang was another sycophant, and they all praised Ye Hua for his loyalty and being the pillar of the country.
Ye Hua didn't want to listen to it anymore, the Southern Tang Dynasty inherited the Tang system, and there was also a political affairs hall, Ye Hua led everyone to the political affairs hall, and he sat in the center.
Fu Zhaoxin and Yang Ye stood behind Ye Hua like two door gods.
Looking down further, they suddenly felt the urge to laugh, this thing is so dark humor!
In the east, led by Han Xizai, then Xu Xuan, and below Xu Xuan, Pan Chengyou, who had just rushed over, as well as Zheng Yanhua, Sun Deming, and Zhu Lingyun!
In the west, it is Feng Yanji, Song Qiqiu, Sun Sheng, Wei Cen, and Sun Chongjun!
Grandma's, all old acquaintances!
If you take Ye Hua and the three of them away, this is the court meeting of the Southern Tang Dynasty!
People on both sides look at each other, some are embarrassed, some are angry, some are ashamed, and some are helpless...... What a strange look.
Ye Hua coughed lightly, breaking the silence.
"All of you are old friends, so you don't need me to introduce you more. However, I'm so lively, invite two friends over, and the big guys will meet each other! ”
Ye Hua gave Fu Zhao's messenger a look, and soon someone walked up with Chen Qiao in his arms.
It turned out that after Feng Yanji took him down, Chen Qiao was thrown into the dark prison, he was ashamed and annoyed, he had already saved his will to die, but he didn't expect that when Ye Hua entered the city, he directly asked people to bring him out.
I also washed and dressed up, changed into new clothes, and brought them to the government office.
Chen Qiao was a little confused, but when he saw Feng Yanji and the others, it was a rage!
"Shameless!"
He bared his teeth and claws, and was about to rush up and beat people.
Feng Yanji sank his face and shouted angrily: "Chen Qiao, the Southern Tang Dynasty has already died in the country, and we have all surrendered to the Great Zhou." The old man advises you, you must know the current affairs, don't be embarrassed! ”
"Ahh
Chen Qiao was shocked!
"Lost country, really lost country!"
He suddenly looked like crazy, and old tears flowed, "Since the country is gone, what am I still alive for!" He jerked up his robe, covered his face, and ran against the pillar.
Chen Qiao wanted to seek death, but he didn't think about it, someone hugged him hard.
"Chen Xianggong, you can't die yet!"
Chen Qiao was very familiar with the voice, he hurriedly put down his robe, and revealed a face!
"It's the Six Princes!"
Although I have a lot of tan, and despite the loss of a front tooth, two pupils can't be faked!
Chen Qiao grabbed Li Yu's arm and shook it vigorously!
"Oh, Your Highness, Your Highness! You're alive? ”
Li Yu smiled, "What's the matter, I'm living quite well!" Chen Xianggong, you should also live well, if even you die, some people should be happy! ”
As he spoke, Li Yu glanced at Feng Yanji and the others.
These old guys have recognized him, it's him!
It's only been a few years of hard work, how did this kid's eyes become so sharp? In his expression, there is an indescribable smell, how to describe it? In the past, Li Yu was just a sheep, a white rabbit, with no talent, and there was nothing to be afraid of.
But now Li Yu is like a wolf and a sharp sword, although he deliberately restrains himself, he still can't hide his edge, it's like two people!
Just one glance makes their hearts tremble, and it seems that something is wrong!
Li Yu rescued Chen Qiao and saluted Ye Hua.
"Xiaguan pays a visit to Master Hou."
"You're welcome, you've done a good job this time, and it's all thanks to you in Taizhou that you can have so much salt supply."
Li Yu said: "Don't dare to take credit, the lower officials just killed the salt merchants, without their exploitation, I promised the salt workers enough wages, they worked day and night, non-stop production, and naturally there was an inexhaustible supply of salt." This salt comes from the seawater, which is not a rare thing, and it really deserves the praise of the Hou Ye. ”
Ye Hua smiled: "How many salt merchants have you killed?" ”
"More than a hundred!" Li Yu said: "There are still many big salt merchants, all in Yangzhou, and when Your Majesty breaks Yangzhou, you can kill the killer at that time!" ”
When Li Yu said this. The expression is calm, just like pulling a homely routine and setting up a dragon gate array.
But in the ears of Feng Yanji and the others, it was no less than thunder!
The same thought welled up in the hearts of the big guys: Who gave him the guts?
Ye Hua didn't care, and said with a smile: "The salt merchant corrupted the salt law, so he should naturally be killed!" What if someone corrupts the law of the land? ”
"Kill it too!"
Li Yu did not hesitate for a moment, "The Buddhists still have King Kong's angry eyes, and they govern the country, how can they condone traitors and villains and bring disaster to the court!" If these rats are not killed, right and wrong are reversed, black and white are confused, virtuous ministers avoid the world, and the party is rampant, and the world will not be far from the death of the country! Therefore, the Holy Son of Heaven, do not fail to kill! ”
For Li Yu's set of rhetoric, the most surprised person is Chen Qiao. I think that back then, Chen Qiao also worked as a lecturer for Li Yu, responsible for explaining the Spring and Autumn Period, Chen Qiao still remembers that Li Yu used to be sad and sentimental. Not to mention killing, even ants are reluctant to crush to death, and they run to the temple to burn incense and worship Buddha at every turn, that is called a piety!
Once upon a time, he actually changed as a person!
Become a lot like his big brother!
Wrong!
It's too much!
Li Hongji is also ruthless enough, he can kill his father and seize power, he can kill his uncle and brother without hesitation, and he can sacrifice thousands of people without hesitation.
But he was conniving at scholars, just like Feng Yanji and Song Qiqiu, who obviously hated him, and Li Hongji was just dismissed. There are also those businessmen, Li Hongji often scolds and is so angry that he can't do it, but in the end, he didn't kill a few.
On the contrary, it was Li Yu, who slaughtered more than 100 salt merchants without blinking his eyes, this courage is really extraordinary!
Chen Qiao even felt that if he was allowed to inherit the throne, maybe Datang would not have fallen to this point!
With his cranky thoughts, Ye Hua asked again: "Jinling is very chaotic at the moment, what do you think should be done?" ”
Li Yu immediately said: "The problem in Jinling is that there are too many displaced people, a million people, two or three hundred thousand are displaced people from the countryside, some of them do odd jobs, and some are simply idle and make trouble everywhere. Xia Guan thought that only by implementing Juntian, giving them land as soon as possible, and letting them return to their hometowns to cultivate, the problem of Jinling would be solved! ”
"Good!"
Ye Hua pondered: "Jiangnan has a large population and dense land. What if there is not enough land to be distributed to the people? ”
"Kill!"
Li Yu's expression suddenly turned hideous, "The puppet emperor Li Hongji is in power, conniving at the family, exploiting the people, seizing fertile land, and even replanting mulberry seedlings for no reason, causing the people to have nothing to eat...... It's time to set things right! If you punish the family, you won't have to worry about having no land for the people! ”
