Chapter 756: Kill, Kill, Kill!
The Jinluan Hall was quiet, and at this moment, even the sound of heavy breathing disappeared, and everyone looked at Xie Hong with bated breath, watching the situation drift in an unknown direction. [No pop-up novel network]
Because of the aftermath in Jiangnan, Wang Shouren delayed a lot of time, and rushed to the Japanese delegation, but he didn't have time to participate in the planning of this great court meeting. Otherwise, he would definitely be able to anticipate and prepare for today's incident.
Xie Hong's style of acting, as early as when he was in Liaodong, he was already very familiar with it, and knew that the other party would often do things that seemed reckless, but in fact had a lot of calculations. Rao was like this, when he saw Xie Hong nodding his head heavily, indicating that he would not back down, his heart still sank.
No matter what the policy, it is impossible to satisfy everyone, and change cannot be smooth sailing. At present, there are still many people with grievances, if things really develop to the worst and then spread by people with ulterior motives, it is difficult to say what the situation will become.
There is not only one vassal king who does not come to Beijing by edict, but the fastest ones are those who are close, their journey to Beijing is short, and more importantly, they are close to the city, and the news is also well-informed, so it is easier to see the general trend. Those vassal kings in remote places are different, King Rong of Changde Mansion and King Yi of Chengdu Mansion have shirked Zhengde's edict for various reasons.
With King Ning's experience, these people may have been frightened, but they can't guarantee that there is no more ambitious person than King Ning. If there is no opportunity, they naturally dare not act rashly, and it is easy to solve it, one Qincha is enough, but if there is an opportunity, it is difficult to say.
Wang Shouren frowned, looking deeply at the ancient and waveless face, wanting to see the other party's true intentions. Do you believe that the Confucian scholars outside have the determination to die? Or is there another way to deal with it? Or is it ...... He hesitated, not knowing whether to prompt or not.
He knew that some of Xie Hong's common sense was very lacking, especially when it came to tradition; The one on the dragon chair is a little better, but with the surname Zhengde, he won't think about these things seriously. Therefore, the plan set by these two people is likely to be the most direct and worrying kind.
His mind was racing, but before he could come up with a reason, he saw Zhengde's eyes condensed, and he said coldly: "Left and right ......"
"Slave maid......" The third father-in-law flashed behind him.
"Wait here!" The Jinluan Palace responded from all sides, and thousands of people were like one, and they spoke at the same time, like a storm, and slapped straight over, smashing the ministers in the hall all swaying in their hearts and buzzing in their ears.
"Execution!" What's more, Zhengde just waved his hand and decided the fate of Wang Wei and others without hesitation.
"The old man is a scholar of the dynasty, and he can't be punished as a doctor, how can he be like this, how can he be like this!" Wang Wei struggled desperately, he almost couldn't believe his ears, he knew that Xie Hong was ruthless, but he still didn't expect that the other party didn't even go through the motions, and wanted to kill people on the spot, even if he was not a university scholar, he was convicted through the regular procedures, so he had to be beheaded after the autumn, right?
"Your Majesty think twice!" Or the rabbit died and the fox was sad, or worried about the court situation, or for some other reason, the ministers have put forward advice, even if they want to kill, they can't kill like this, even the ministers are killed like a killed dog, and the risk of being an official is too great, right?
"I've made up my mind." Zhengde said with a cold face: "San'er, you go to the prison and behead him, and before the execution, the charges against him will be publicized to the world, and after the execution, he will be sent to the Temple of Heaven and Earth, that is, he will always be on the inscription......"
"The slave obeys."
"I am a reasonable emperor, and I have set aside a lot of opportunities, I don't understand, what is there to be dissatisfied with the Confucian disciples? Isn't it a sacred duty to go to overseas vassal countries to serve as ambassadors for propaganda and appeasement, so that the people outside the country can be enlightened by the sages, so that their hearts will be turned to Middle-earth and admire the Heavenly Empire? The young man's clear voice suppressed all noise and silently echoed on the Jinluan Palace.
The courtiers looked at each other, they were already exiled when they went to the frontier, and what did they say about going overseas, which was more terrible than exile.
"The future of the Ming Dynasty will not be limited to Middle-earth, now is the time for Pepsi to be employed, a hundred schools of thought have their own strengths, and each of its strengths to perform its own duties, isn't it the most appropriate arrangement? What are your grievances with those people outside? Could it be that the children of Confucianism only deal with their own people? Can he only hold the official position of this kind of corpse vegetarian meal? You've disappointed me. ”
"The ministers have no form, please calm your anger......" The officials were bitter in their hearts, but they had no way to refute it.
Although he didn't say it explicitly, the meaning of Zhengde was already very clear, he believed that the strongest point of Confucianism was the foolish people, and there was nonsense, so he positioned the future stage of Confucianism on diplomacy. Lin Han's envoy to the Wa Kingdom is the epitome of this great development plan, and it is another important responsibility to let the people of the foreign feudal domains accept the exploitation of the Ming Dynasty with all their hearts.
Through the mouth of Zhou Jing and others, this plan has already spread throughout the political arena of the capital, and everyone has a lot of speculation, and the guessed conclusion is not far from the facts, and now it is just verified, and most people are psychologically prepared.
"This is an opportunity to go down in history, and when the Ming Dynasty dominates the four seas a hundred years later, future generations will definitely remember those who were once unknown, but dedicated wholeheartedly."
Zhengde's body leaned forward slightly, looking down at the Danqi, his sharp eyes finally fixed on the people who were pressed to the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Whether it is a name that will remain in history or a stench for thousands of years, you Aiqing, it depends on your own choice." ”
After the experience of war, Zhengde's aura has also increased a lot, and when he is not messing around, others can clearly feel the domineering aura mixed with murderous aura on his body.
Seeing that everyone was shocked by his words, and there was no more noise, he nodded with satisfaction, waved his hand again, and said, "Execution!" San'er, remember to tell what I just said to the kowtow insects outside, where to go, let them choose for themselves. ”
"Slave obeys!" The third father-in-law accepted the order, walked down the Danqi with his head held high, and went straight to the outside of the hall, and the two guards who took the people were in charge of one, and dragged Wang Wei and others, who were already paralyzed, to follow behind him.
The image of the third father-in-law is actually a bit funny, his swaggering appearance is like a male duck, and when he walks to the door, the ministers can also see it clearly, and there is a bright footprint on his buttocks.
This time it was not Zhengde who kicked people, but Xie Hong. Zhengde put on makeup and went to the ring, it was this unruly eunuch who helped to play under the cover, he changed into a dragon robe, stood under Huang Luo's umbrella cover, and held a telescope, with Xie Hong's eyesight, he didn't see anything unusual. Such an act is, of course, subject to retribution.
The image was very funny, but no one laughed, and most of the people in the Jinluan Hall felt that there was a chill spreading on their bodies, from the Heavenly Spirit Gai to the soles of their feet, making them almost breathless, and they could only watch all this happen in a daze.
There is no argument, so the efficiency is very high, in the eyes of the people who observe the periphery of Chengtianmen, from the gate guards to report the news, to the palace there is a reaction, which is as if there is no interval. And the reaction made in the palace was fierce enough to shock everyone who saw it.
"For thousands of years in China, there have been hundreds of schools of learning, and since the Qin and Han dynasties, Confucianism has been unique...... Confucianism and Taoism are the way of a gentleman, and they can cultivate themselves and be self-reliant, which can make people tempted to endure their surnames...... Now, the Ming Dynasty wants to show virtue in the four seas, the military demonstration first, the Confucian virtue in the back, one relaxation, the right way! ”
The third father-in-law was reading something in a frustrated manner, but most people's attention was not on him, in the book commentary, the emperor wants to kill someone, usually is: launch the noon gate and behead, such a routine. The third father-in-law was followed by a group of people, including the escorted guards, as well as the knife and axe hands, and the prisoners who were targeted by the sword and axe were clearly purple robes and jade belts!
Zhang Juren stopped kowtowing in amazement, unlike ordinary people, he was very familiar with the court, and had dealt with many big people, among the dozens of people, he knew at least more than half, and the most prominent of them was undoubtedly the university scholar Wang Wei.
Yesterday's prime minister, today's prisoner waiting to die, such a contrast makes all Confucian scholars look at each other in shock, is the emperor crazy? Is there no need to do things so desperately! Isn't it just a step to leave a trace of face for Confucianism? In exchange, it is the peace of the world!
"Today, with the responsibility of overseas preaching, recruit Confucian students from all over the world, preach overseas, serve the country and the people, show virtue and merit!" In the strange atmosphere, the third prince finished reading the recruitment order of the famous posterity, and then his face was solemn and he took out another roll of yellow silk.
"Merit should be rewarded, guilt should be punished, rewards and punishments are clear, and only then is the foundation of governing the country......" routinely said a big truth, and the three princes spoke strongly:
"Today, there is a scholar Wang Wei, who is deeply favored by the country, and Jane is an assistant, but he does not want to repay the service, he is greedy for ink and dereliction of duty, and he is a vegetarian meal, and I am responsible for the righteousness, but I still do not want to repent, but I have intensified my efforts, misleading the state affairs with personal interests, colluding with pirates, privately transferring troops and horses, attacking Lushun Huanggang, and seeing it as an accomplice; and then in tandem, inside, colluding with Ning Fan to rebel and make trouble; Outside, fornicating with the Tartars, with bad intentions ......"
There were more and more people gathered around Chengtianmen, but it was becoming more and more silent, and only the voice of the sharp duck could be heard. If the previous recruitment order and the image of the third father-in-law were still a little funny, the subsequent sentence was like a cold wind.
“…… Heaven is benevolent, but there are also unforgivable sins, and unforgivable sins...... Wang Wei is decided! Pass the first nine sides to set an example! "It is not surprising that such a big crime has been convicted before, but the people present, especially those Confucian scholars who petitioned, felt that their bodies were completely stiff, let alone continue to kowtow, and it was difficult to move their fingers.
"The ...... of the Sinner Wang Qiong"
"Sinners ......"
The third father-in-law didn't stop at all, one by one the holy decrees changed in his hands, he pronounced the sentence quickly, the hands and feet of the knife and axe hand were also quite sharp, the knife and axe fell, and the blood splashed! One by one, the big men who should have been famous in history died like this, and they didn't even have time to let out a wail before they died.
As the killing progressed, the petitioning Confucian scholars collapsed. The Day of the Righteous Death is beautiful to say, but in reality, it is very cruel, and looking at the killing field in front of them, no one can muster up the courage anymore.
It's easy to let someone else die, but it takes too much courage to die righteously.
