Emperor Chongzhen gave those lists to Liu Xingzuo, and at the same time issued an order: "Send Ti cavalry to lock up people and criminals according to their names." ”

"The last will obey!" When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he immediately clenched his fists and received the order. He knew that the emperor still had orders, so he continued to listen.

Sure enough, after Emperor Chongzhen groaned a little, he commanded again: "Send a notice to the four towns and eight neighbors, saying that I want to try the matter of the tyrant, and all the bitter masters can come to Nanxun Town to sue the emperor!" ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned. Shouldn't a major case of conspiracy be judged? How did you become a public trial tyrant? Also, what does this public trial mean? Still sue the royal court?

A slurry of a brain! But no one dared to ask. However, Liu Xingzuo knew what the public trial meant, after all, the Ming army had done these things in Liaodong, Hetao and other border areas, which seemed to be very beneficial to quickly win over people's hearts.

But there is one thing he can't understand, why didn't the emperor investigate the crime of rebellion first? Is it not pursued? It can't be!

With the same stomach full of doubts, Liu Xingzuo immediately went down to carry out the holy decree.

In fact, of course, Emperor Chongzhen would not fail to pursue the crime of rebellion, otherwise he would not have to stay here. It's just that everything is centered on economic construction, and everything has a sequence, and it has to be done step by step in order.

With a definite list, Emperor Chongzhen didn't have to continue to relax, he turned to Chen Youming and said, "You know about the matter of hegemony. In Nanxun Town, I believe that there are a lot of bullies like you. Go and tell them, and I will leave it to you. ”

Although Chen Youming is still a little confused about this will, it does not prevent him from following the order.

When they returned to Chen Youming's house, the silkworm farmers were still there, and Emperor Chongzhen instructed them again: "I will give you an errand to go to the surrounding towns and villages to tell all the silkworm farmers that all those who have been bullied and oppressed by Nanxun Town will say that I will be tried here in three days, and everyone can come to sue the emperor." ”

Speaking of this, he paused and said, "I have sent people to make a notice, but I don't know if they will come. You go and tell them that if they want to live a good life without being bullied and oppressed in the future, let me know while I am still in Jiangnan. Otherwise, if you are timid and afraid, even if I deal with all these tyrants, there will be new tyrants who will come out to oppress them. Their own future is in their own hands! ”

For the emperor's words, these silkworm farmers did not dare not listen. But the most important thing is that the emperor's words are very reasonable, although they don't understand what the public trial is all about, it does not prevent them from understanding that the emperor wants to make decisions for them personally.

Think about it, since the dynasties and dynasties, how can any emperor be so close to the people, can he not be afraid of trouble, do such a big thing, and encourage the people to sue the emperor!

If you insist on saying it, it seems that there is only the founding ancestor! At the beginning, Taizu issued a similar holy decree, if the people were bullied by officials, they could tie up Shangjing and sue the emperor. Of course, it is one thing whether such a will is operable or not, at least it has been expressed.

Seeing the silkworm farmers excitedly dispersed by the Jinyi guard, Emperor Chongzhen instructed the Jinyi guard lieutenant who followed him and said: "Go to the town or go to Suzhou City to find talented opera and storytellers, the number of people is not limited, but there must be talent!" ”

"Yes!" A brocade guard immediately responded and left with the people.

Emperor Chongzhen has a candidate in his heart, that is, Wen Tiren's younger brother Wen Yuren, but unfortunately, he is currently far away in Beijing, and he can't catch up, so he can only take local materials, find more people, write scripts for acting, commenting on stories, and even be able to write poems, words, etc., as long as he can see it, let people sing it.

Coupled with such a novelty as the emperor's public trial, it must have had a great impact on the people of the Ming Dynasty. The emperor's private visit and punishment of bullies are more popular with the people than Bao Qingtian. I don't believe it, if you engage in a war of public opinion, you can't get rid of those gentry! Don't think I'm just a fool who stays in the Forbidden City for the rest of my life!

In the afternoon, such a big movement in Nanxun Town inevitably spread at the fastest speed. As a result, the bureaucrats of the surrounding guards and the city rushed to Nanxun Town with people. Until the night, there was an endless stream of civilian, military and military generals. Suddenly, Nanxun Town became the focus of the surrounding area, and as time went by, it became the focus of Jiangnan and even the entire Ming Dynasty. It's just that other places are too far away from Nanxun Town, and people over there can't rush over.

Three days later, Nanxun Town was simply crowded, with the troops of the local guard maintaining order on the periphery, and more than 500 Jinyi guards and more than 200 Dongchang soldiers inside. In addition to the civil and military generals in various places, the largest number of people is naturally ordinary people.

It can be said that this is the biggest event in Jiangnan since the founding of the country. Even in the future, I'm afraid there won't be such a big, high-level excitement to watch.

On a temporary high platform, there was no one on the throne, but on both sides of the throne were already standing civil officials and military generals from the south of the Yangtze River, and their faces were very ugly. On the platform a little lower under this high platform, kneeling were the leaders of the overlords who were arrested in Nanxun Town, including Chen Youtong who had a broken leg, the patriarch of the Chen clan, Chen Donghai, the head of this year's covenant, and Wang Donglei, the patriarch of the Wang clan, and so on. On the flat ground in front of the platform, there were piles of civilians separated by officers and soldiers.

Too many people concentrated in one place was a huge test of logistics, organization and other capabilities at this time of ancient times. Emperor Chongzhen didn't want to delay it too long, so as soon as the three days arrived, it immediately started as scheduled, and there was no intention of delaying at all. With a cry of "The emperor has arrived!" Emperor Chongzhen finally stopped wearing civilian clothes and made a grand appearance under the escort of the Jinyi Guard.

"Long live my emperor, long live long live!" Regardless of the government and the people, they all knelt down to greet them, and the mountains shouted and the tsunami echoed in the sky above Nanxun Town.

Emperor Chongzhen didn't go to sit on the throne, strode to the front of the stage, glanced at the countless heads below, and said with both hands: "Flat!" ”

He doesn't need to be loud, in fact, it's useless to be loud, there are too many people, and he can't hear what is being said on the stage when he stands far away. But this is not a problem, only the captain of the Jinyi Guard is the microphone.

After everyone stood up, Emperor Chongzhen looked at the heads with their heads bowed and said in a deep voice: "I am deeply happy for the diligence of the people in Jiangnan when I inspect Jiangnan. However, I also saw something that made me unhappy. Just like in this Nanxun Town, I encountered local bullies who bullied and oppressed good people. I know that this is definitely not the only incident that I have encountered. Today, I am here to administer justice to my people. I hope that your diligence will not be trampled on by local tyrants and inferior gentry. If you have any grievances that have been oppressed by them, you can speak out, and I will call the shots for you! ”
