Chapter 80: No Forgiveness

……

In late March, the weather was already a little hot. Zhao Zhe was dressed in a majestic dragon robe and stood on the wall of the main gate of the Forbidden City. With his hands behind his back, he looked up at the sky, and the weather was getting darker. 、

It's only been half a month, and his eyes are deep and restrained. The secret book handed down by the Yellow Emperor and his old man is the breath of the Son of Heaven and the power of the emperor. And recently, with Pei Yuandan and several maids helping him to cultivate, it only took half a month for him to raise his realm to another level. In the eyes of the Void Child, this is simply a miracle.

Ten days ago, Yan Yu, headed by the cabinet, drafted a decree and sent the surplus grain declaration policy to various places after being personally approved by Zhao Zhe. Less than 30 percent of the applicants made the declaration within three days of receiving the notice, and almost all of these 30 percent of the people made false reports and concealed reports.

Just at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the first Jingshi to receive the policy, the phenomenon of yang and yin violation is so serious. It is conceivable that the farther away the provinces will be after receiving the order later. How will the prevarication be?

Zhao Zhe understands their thoughts, and the so-called law does not blame the public. As long as they unite and unite, could it be that the emperor will really cut them all?

Therefore, Zhao Zhe, who had been keeping an eye on this matter, was furious in his heart after receiving such feedback. Immediately, the cabinet proposed to send a document to let Jinyiwei dispatch and bring the wealthiest and most famous parents, patriarchs, and merchants among the five million people in the capital. Large and small, there are hundreds of people. They were all gathered before the noon gate, and let them line up one by one in advance, and stand there waiting for the king. The emperor personally summoned him, and the invitation sent by the Jinyi Guard, no half of the people dared not come. If you don't come, or if you have half a complaint, I'm afraid that those fierce and vicious brocade guards will immediately draw their swords against each other. Even if you cut them, there is no reason to do so. The emperor summoned and did not go, did he want to rebel?

Zhao Zhe was not late and arrived on time. However, at this time, they had been standing outside the noon gate for more than half an hour. The weather was very hot, and there was hardly a cool breeze. Those who have a good physique can stand up slightly, but those who are not in good health are already weak in their legs and weak, and they are almost about to faint.

and the 2,000 brocade guards who stayed in the capital, as well as a large number of royal guards and forbidden troops wearing military armor. It was densely packed, gathered outside the Forbidden City, and surrounded the pitiful hundreds of people.

Zhao Zhe carried his hands on his back and slowly fought from the city wall to the battlements, his eyes looking down on his army and the hundreds of merchants and wealthy landlords.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live." Tens of thousands of troops, under their respective commands, almost knelt down in unison. The shouting shook the sky, almost tearing the dark clouds in the sky.

Tens of thousands of people, it is the first time for Zhao Zhe to see such a spectacular military scene with his own eyes. This is not the movie where in order to save costs, hundreds of thousands of troops are only a few hundred, or even dozens of people are playing. And this real army of tens of thousands, dressed in military uniforms, gathered in the square, which is really monstrous.

Those big businessmen and wealthy families who are quite powerful in the whole capital. One by one was trembling and chilling, and none of them could stand anymore. He knelt down and bowed down with a little trembling body, shouting Long live my emperor.

Zhao Zhe slowly stretched out his hand and waved it upward. These tens of thousands of troops in the Great Zhao Empire, the most elite, the most trained, and the highest-paid, under the unified command of their respective commanders, shouted in unison: "Emperor Xie Wu." They all stood up again, raising their heads and chests one by one, their postures were straight, their faces were solemn, and their eyes were only looking in one direction.

Those businessmen and wealthy families also followed the trend and stood up trembling one by one.

Zhao Zhe's eyes swept over them from afar. The distance between the two sides was not close, but they seemed to feel the pressure brought to them by the emperor's majestic and slightly indifferent eyes. One by one, they lowered their heads and didn't dare to make any changes. There was only the emperor's clear voice in my ears: "I, I have summoned you, and there is only one sentence to explain to you." ”

Zhao Zhe looked up at the sky, the dark clouds were covering, and it was getting darker and darker. Zhao Zhe didn't scream vigorously, but he had already passed his voice out coldly: "I am the Son of Heaven." My words are the Dharma. Anyone who dares to disobey will be killed. ”

With the last three words, his voice suddenly turned cold and bloody, echoing in their ears, unable to dissipate for a long time. But it is precisely because of this that the wealthy businessmen who had tried to unite and resist the executive order before this time were almost ready to break their hearts and galls. And almost at the same time, in the suppressed dark clouds, there was also a thunderstorm. The people who had been unable to stand still were shaken by the shock, and their legs trembled and they almost all fell to their knees.

Zhao Zhe said this, turned around and left the battlements with the support of the maids, the eunuchs and the imperial guards. Got off the city wall and went back to the Qianqing Palace.

The downpour rained almost instantly, and the roar of the muffled thunder in early summer not only shook people's ears, but also almost dispersed the strength of the whole body. The rain poured down on the beans, watering them one by one. But none of them dared to leave, and the tens of thousands of troops of Gaine seemed to be people who didn't feel the slightest. One by one, they stood like rocks in the heavy rain, like statues.

"Li Changshun, a large landlord in the east of the city, did not declare the surplus grain within three days, and the emperor betrayed him and beheaded him. It can be dragged by Jinyiwei to the entrance of the vegetable market and executed by the executioner. "Because I practiced martial arts, I got the help of Liu Chao's skills. The prestige has increased a lot, and with the support of the umbrellas of the two Dongchang factory guards, he sings and shouts about the crimes of a big landlord in the unique voice of the eunuch.

"The emperor spares his life, spares his life." In the midst of a large crowd, a fat man dressed in luxurious clothes, with fine skin and tender flesh, knelt on the ground, crying and shouting. The two brocade guards immediately rushed forward, grabbed him, and dragged him straight out.

Then Li Changshun shouted desperately: "Father-in-law, father-in-law spares my life, I am willing to distribute half of your family property." ”

Xiao Duozi's gloomy eyes didn't even bother to look up at him. Continue to read the next person's accusation under the umbrella: "Chen Fangyuan, the big proprietor of the Chen family grain store in the west of the city, declared the amount of surplus grain within three days of 700,000 quintals, and after investigation and verification, he concealed the remaining grain of 2.13 million quintals, deceived the monarch, and the emperor sentenced him to be beheaded~"

Chen Fangyuan is an old businessman, and he also wants to take one step at a time, so he decided not to follow people to make a fool of himself. It's better to declare it, but he ignored it, and if the declaration was not true, he would be convicted of the same crime as not declaring.

The grain merchant, who was in his sixties and had made many brilliant achievements, was pale and was pulled out by the Jinyi guard. But he didn't call, he understood from the moment the emperor appeared just now. Your Majesty, this time it's serious. And they were used as the chickens in the monkey to kill chickens. At the same time, he also understands that a businessman, no matter how successful he is, in the eyes of the emperor and the court, he is just a dog who wants to kill.
