Chapter Fifty-Six: The Death of Baisuo
The governor died easily, but the hardest thing was the living, the people were evacuated, but they did not move, let alone leave.
"Grandpa...... Let's take a bite......" Kong Yoodao's grandsons are all in the prime of their thirties, and now they can't persuade in tears.
Kong Yoo Dao is now an old man who is about to die, his face is wrinkled like a ravine, and his eyes are cloudy.
"Repentance should not be ...... You remember, after you go back, you will be incognito......" Saying this, Kong Yudao's voice was broken.
"Grandfather ......"
Here in the convoy, there are people crying bitterly almost every moment.
Zhu Youzhen found Wu Dalang in a complicated mood, and now seeing this Wu Dalang, Zhu Youzhen found that he couldn't see through him, this person was resourceful and ruthless, and he forced Baisuo into a corner with three questions.
"But you are also a bit excessive, they are all respected Confucians, although this matter is difficult for them, but you should still make a holy decree, otherwise you can only watch them die, why bother?"
What Zhu Youzhen didn't expect was that this Wu Dalang was so ruthless, without a trace of action, and now he was crying outside the south gate, and it was time to win the hearts of the people.
"Why? What the court needs is their awe, and as long as they offend, no one can save them. Wu Yi said calmly.
The cabinet and the people of the six ministries are now arguing, they are all arguing about this matter, most of the cabinet are civil ministers, they naturally want to forgive, this is a respected Confucian.
But the people of the six departments will not talk about it, the people here are mixed, and the attitude towards the scholars is the fairest, that is, they are treated equally, what if this hundred people are replaced by others? I'm afraid that these cabinet elders will turn a blind eye.
"Zhang Ge is not good, and there are only a few people left in Baisuo now......"
Two days passed, and Lao Suo was stimulated and went on a hunger strike, and they all went one after another.
They didn't leave, and they regretted it, they were all waiting, waiting for the imperial court, waiting for the emperor's holy decree, but now they are afraid that their hopes will be dashed.
"What? Didn't you let you take care of them? Zhang Ge Lao immediately asked.
"However, what can I do, those hundred people have changed their shrouds, I will go to comfort them, even their children and grandchildren will stop us......"
"Alas...... These stubbornness, I will face the holy ......" Zhang Ge can't care about scolding, and now there is only that.
But he didn't see His Majesty, and Wu Yi didn't see anyone about this matter at all.
There was no crying in the convoy today, and hundreds of people looked at this tall Kyoto in a trance, in their eyes it was a man-eating beast.
Qilu Baisuo went, and the last person did not get forgiveness from the court before closing his eyes, and they were all in the evening.
When they came, they were refreshed, and when they left, there were only eye-piercing spirit flags, no coffins, and Lao Suo only allowed his family to use straw mats, not only did they have a bad reputation, but they also gave Qilu a dark touch, and they were thrown outside at will.
But as a descendant, how dare they listen, they are still ready to send the body back to their hometown.
And this time, all the students of Hou Ming collectively lost their voices, and Xinjun's three questions not only made Bai Sue speechless, but also made all the literati silent.
The literati of Jiangnan and the Qing Dynasty were the most fiercely scolded, but the imperial court was unusually quiet.
The story of Baisuo has already spread all over the place.
Dorgon was silent for a long time, but his bright eyes showed that he was still very satisfied with the matter.
Suddenly, after exhaling a sigh, Dolgon said: "This Wu Dalang is really not to be underestimated, even I have to admire it this time." ”
Duoduo was most surprised, because in the Qing Dynasty, this Wu Dalang was notorious and was scolded as an executioner by scholars, but the emperor appreciated his approach.
Dolgon shook his head, all the scholars in the world are arrogant, and they are also the most unruly, and the Qing Dynasty is helpless, especially among the banner people, the scholars think they are a head higher than others.
But Wu Dalang did it so decisively this time, but it was impossible to attack, because his court was bigger than the law of the country, and reason was useless in the later Ming Dynasty.
That's why Dolgon found out that this Wu Dalang was really scheming, and it seemed that he had added a rope to his neck, but what he had subtracted was a lot of trouble.
Subsequently, what was even more surprising was that Wu Dalang finally moved, and even publicly condoled Baisuo.
"I represent only me, and I can't bear it in my heart, but the state has national laws...... Wu Yi said helplessly and regretfully to the literati.
For a while, the people in the capital understood one thing ignorantly, but what was even more confused was that this emperor actually regarded himself as an ordinary person?
Since ancient times, that emperor was not high up and incarnated as the Son of Heaven, but when he came to Wu Dalang, he actually stepped down from the altar by himself.
For a moment, everyone was stunned.
"Shameless, what a shameless Wu Dalang!" Dolgon scolded in the palace, he was simply a scum.
Suddenly, a Wu Dalang jumped out, which made Dolgon suddenly nervous, because this matter was directly aimed at him, the Qing Emperor.
Wu Dalang is weakening the emperor's influence, which makes him very afraid, but this Wu Dalang doesn't care at all, and he still talks about it.
"Well, this meat is well done, fat but not greasy." Wu Yi swaggered out of the small restaurant.
This simple shopkeeper only felt that his legs did not obey him, and the emperor actually ate what was in his shop.
The shopkeeper suddenly slapped his thigh, "Oh, it's not good, we haven't kowtowed to Your Majesty......"
But this small shop immediately became popular, and Sun Laosan, an unknown merchant whose ancestors had been doing small business in Kyoto for generations, was immediately known to everyone.
There is an endless stream of diners who come here, blocking the entrance of this small shop and even this alley.
"Your Majesty said yes", and they naturally came to eat.
This time, they finally came into contact with the emperor recently, and it turned out that His Majesty was also eating the same grains as them......
Wu Yi couldn't help but sneer, this is nothing to future generations, it is just the simplest hype, but here, it really pierces the sky.
The matter of Baisuo seems to have been forgotten in an instant, and now we all know that this new monarch is not the legendary master, and he doesn't even have a little shelf.
This matter came like a spring breeze after the drought was raging.
"Your Majesty is a good emperor who has experienced the hardships of the people, and now he has to fight the drought together with the people of the world."
The old peasants who couldn't read big characters knew about it, and their shriveled old faces couldn't help but shed tears.
But the drought is a headache for the six cabinet departments of the Later Ming Dynasty, and this year's drought is surprisingly severe, as is the case in several provinces, and there is almost no place to live.
Zhang Ge Lao couldn't help but be afraid in his heart, this is Hou Ming, now there is no Jiangnan, there is no food, and there is no food in the entire Hou Ming, what can I do?
This is more serious than the war, but fortunately, His Majesty's words infected the people, and now there is nothing to do, but it looks like it is about to run out of food.
Without food, the people would not be able to survive......
The drought in the Later Ming Dynasty was no secret, and the Manchu and Southern Ming paid constant attention to their every move, so the matter was known to the whole world.
"Well, sure enough, the sky won't allow you! This time, it depends on what you Wu Dalang should do, and order the Eight Banners to prepare, and the day when the food will be cut off in the Ming Dynasty is the time to attack. Dorgon touched the door of the bare head, and his pale face regained a hint of ruddy.
Duoduo received the order, and at the same time did not forget to gloat and said: "This is called self-inflicted sin and cannot live, the Son of Heaven is the son of heaven, high above, this Wu Dalang has provoked the anger of heaven and sent down punishment." ”
Dolgon was stunned for a moment, smiled even more heartily, pointed at him and said, "Yes, your words should be spread and spread to Houming, so that the people there will know that this is the punishment of heaven." ”
Duoduo understood what the emperor meant, but he didn't expect that his casual abuse could really force Wu Dalang into a desperate situation, and he was excited.
"Nanming's side also kept an eye on it, and told Hong Chengchou that not a single grain of grain was allowed to cross the river, and Houming would be in chaos." Dorgon was still worried about the ally.
But this time it was Hong Chengchou, a scheming and spicy man, Nanming's summer grain was even more closely watched by the government, even if Wu Dalang had great ability, don't think about getting food from Nanming.
The Jin merchants in Tiannan, Haibei and Haibei were at a loss, they tried their best and tried their best, and as a result, the whole world seemed to have enmity with Hou Ming, and they did not sell a grain of Jin merchants.
Later Ming ushered in the most difficult period.
