Chapter 479: The Dust Has Settled

The day has come.

The sun is shining on the land, and it is exceptionally bright.

This city, frozen by the cold wind, the heart of the Ming Dynasty, gradually recovered, the flow of people, cars and horses began to increase, and the lights and fires began to ignite continuously, constantly expelling the last darkness before the dawn.

When the sun shows a small face in the sky, the whole city of Beijing is already full of people, busy with traffic, many shops on the street, have already emitted the steaming heat, the attractive aroma, with the steaming heat, wafted all over the neighborhood.

"Outside, outside......, the salt merchant is captured, and the salt merchant is checked,...... The salt merchants were captured, and the salt merchants were ...... "On the busy streets, the voices of the newsboys came and went, and the city of Beijing completely woke up to the clear cries of these newsboys.

"Give me a ......" Many people also got up at dawn, hurried out to the teahouse, ready to inquire about the latest news, heard the newsboy's shout, bought a copy by the way, ready to see what the mouthpiece of the court would say.

"Give me a ......"

"Give me a ......"

After a short time, the newspaper of the newspaper of the newspaper was sold out, and he happily counted the copper coins he received, and ran quickly towards the place where he took the newspaper.

Yesterday, the emperor in the court suddenly made it difficult to do the salt merchants, it was no longer a news, it was to the news in the court was scared enough, the Donglin Party actually forced the emperor to abdicate in order to maintain the salt merchants, ...... this kind of explosive news, even the well-informed people in the capital, were also frightened and stunned, unimaginable, and when they came back to their senses, they all scolded the Donglin Party shamefully.

"On the seven of the salt merchants can be killed...... an old Xiucai shook his head and read the Di newspaper, and there was a circle of people around him, listening carefully to the Xiucai reading the newspaper, some people don't know, but they also bought the Di newspaper, although they can't read it, but they are black and white, and they can't deceive people, this is the "evidence"! In the future, I bragged about this matter with my children and grandchildren, which is ironclad evidence, and many people carefully put away the newspaper and prepared to be a family heirloom.

"One said: fornication with the East and betrayal of the news. …… betrayed my Ming official army, resulting in the defeat of hundreds of thousands of troops in my Liaodong, this one should be ......killed" Lao Xiucai read with a flushed face, this kind of fighting big shouting and shouting and killing, in this newspaper, but it is the first time, killing, it is too exciting, this time the salt merchant fell, how many people have to be killed?

"Kill, kill......" everyone said in unison.

"The second said: fornicating with the East and acting as a spy. …… When the Donglu attacked the city, he acted as a spy, spread rumors in the city, set fire, snatched the city gate, let the Dongyu enter the city, and contacted the rebel generals, resulting in several cities outside the Guan, which should be killed...... "When Lao Xiucai read the kill, he also had to tighten his teeth, so as not to tremble.

"Kill, kill......" everyone said in unison.

"Three said: fornication, smuggling grain and equipment. …… Smuggling grain, weapons ......, these three should be killed......" Lao Xiucai read it with a flushed face, and the more he thought about it, the faster he thought.

"Kill, kill......" the crowd applauded.

"Old master, how does this sound like a Jin merchant! Why are you talking about salt merchants again? Old Master, we are also coarse people, can you explain it for us? "Questions were also raised.

The old master's face was flushed, and he took a sip of hot tea before he said, "Have you ever heard the phrase 'Qin dialect is full of streets and alleys'?" "The old master began to sell Guanzi.

"No, I haven't heard of it, the old master still says what's going on." At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the recognition rate was really not high, although it was the city of Beijing, but in the face of a group of ordinary people hanging their book bags, they could still find a sense of superiority.

"Ahem, the meaning of this sentence is that most of the people who do business in Yangzhou are from Shanxi, Shaanxi and Huizhou, and many of the salt merchants are Jin merchants. The old master sells the news from the court.

"Oh! I see, no wonder, should be killed, should be killed......"

When everyone heard this, they all felt that it made sense, and they all shouted that they should be killed.

"Old Master, you go on...... "Someone wants to hear what is going on."

"Fourth: fornicating with the East and selling the stolen goods for the thief. …… Bringing back the gold and silver goods looted by the Dongyu to the customs to sell the stolen goods, and encouraging the Dongyu to plunder more and more strongly, the stronger and stronger, causing our people to die in vain, aiding the abuse, and acting for the tiger, these four should be killed...... Lao Xiucai continued to read.

"Old Master, what's going on?" Someone asked again, how does this seem to be similar to what I said earlier, and how can it be listed as a separate crime?

"You don't understand this?" The old master blushed and asked deliberately. ,

"Old master, please explain ......," someone asked.

"Think about it, what is the use of this gold and silver goods, and you cannot eat them, nor wear them, even if they are snatched?" The old master explained.

"That's not right! Old Master, how can this gold and silver treasure be useless? You can buy rice, buy land, buy meat, buy clothes, why is it useless? Someone immediately asked, puzzled.

"Idiot! You are in the capital, you can naturally buy these things, think about it, outside the Guan, I Ming Dynasty will not sell him to eat, not sell to him for use, not sell to him to wear, what is the use of him holding gold and silver? It's no different from stones, it's these damn guys, who exchange the gold and silver goods looted by Dongyu for food, clothing, use, and weapons, and let Dongyu use these things to continue to rob our people's things, and the more they rob, the stronger they get, the stronger they rob, the stronger they rob, and gradually out of control, we ordinary people suffer! They just drink our blood and eat our flesh! Do you think you deserve to die? The old pedant said.

"Yes... Damn..."

"Yes... Damn..."

"Yes, damn it......" everyone shouted "Damn it."

……

"Five: Secretly communicate with the East and owe the salt class. …… Deliberately defaulting on the salt tax, dragging down the imperial court, causing the imperial court to be unable to use troops externally, unable to provide disaster relief internally, so that my Ming Dynasty is trapped internally and externally, unable to resist natural disasters and foreign thieves, and the country is gradually declining. ”

"Six said: extravagant, not afraid of clear theories, not afraid of clear discussions, sucking people's blood, and the country is supplying ......"

These two articles are basically understood by everyone, if it weren't for the money owed to the emperor, the emperor would not have used the salt merchant to open the knife and suck people's blood, everyone knows this deeply, who doesn't eat salt? If you eat salt, you have to be exploited by salt merchants, and some people secretly think, this time the emperor has set up a salt merchant, should the price of salt also fall?

"Old pedant, Your Majesty has set up a salt merchant, and the price of this salt should also be reduced...... "There is a humane.

"Coax ......" everyone laughed, and the teahouse was noisy.

"Seven said: Leaving the ancestors and rebelling against the ancestors, willing to be a traitor. …… Trapping thousands of men from my Han family in the situation of fourth-class pariahs, this must be killed. The old pedant ignored it and continued to read out today's headlines on the front page 1510.

"Old Master, what are these fourth-class pariahs talking about?" Someone doesn't understand it again.

"You don't understand the fourth-class pariahs? That's Qianyuan, at that time, Qianyuan divided our Han people into fourth-class pariahs, if someone kills you, as long as you pay a sheep, people sleep with your daughter-in-law, as long as you give a chicken, this is a fourth-class pariah, understand? The old pedant's aura suddenly opened, he stood up suddenly, and said angrily, his figure suddenly became extremely tall.

"Ahh ...... "Everyone was amazed that this good old man was so angry, and they were also surprised at the treatment of a fourth-class pariah.

"This group of damned salt merchants, damn brutes, should be killed......" The person who asked just now also shouted angrily, the old pedant's words really touched him, what does it mean to kill someone and pay a sheep? I slept with my daughter-in-law and gave me a chicken, who should I be?

"Killing people to pay for their lives, debts to pay back, it is justified, I said how can this group of salt merchants even force the current emperor to abdicate, no wonder, with this heart, if it falls into my hands, I have to split them into eight ......pieces."

"Yes, it should be killed, it should be killed! ......" When the crowd heard that the fourth-class untouchables were treated like this, they immediately shouted angrily, "Seven can be killed, and finally most of the interests have been touched."

"Fuck his ancestors, this group of dog-day ......" many people echoed, originally heard that the emperor ran a salt merchant, but on the basis of sympathizing with the emperor and watching a good show, but now, it is really related to their own interests, and they all shouted angrily.

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

"Kill ......"

In the entire teahouse, there is only one voice, and that is killing.

A timid and frightened guy looked at the people shouting and killing in fear, and quietly asked the old pedant: "Old master, is this true?" "The more this timid man thinks about it, the more timid he becomes.

"Then there is still a fake, the people of Liaodong who fled back from the Dongyu are now working in our capital, and they know the situation in the Dongyu best, how can there be a fake?" The old master said angrily.

"Ahh This timid man hesitated and was scared, probably remembering that he had also been in contact with a certain person from Liaodong, and after thinking about it for a while, he finally mustered up the courage and shouted with everyone: "Kill, kill, kill ......" and shouted a few words, let go more and more, and shouted more and more powerfully, and the red light on his face also shouted out.

……

Taimiao.

A group of officials knelt in front of the empty hall of the Taimiao Temple with pale faces, they had been kneeling here since the beginning of the day, and no one stopped them, until the sun came out, they had held on for an hour, except for being blown by the cold wind, this leg was very sore. ,

The leader was Qiao Yunsheng, he knelt in the front, looking straight at the Taimiao, hoping that he could force the emperor to change his mind, but his face was also very pale, and he lived up to the confidence he had yesterday, and he came with him today, but half of the time of yesterday's discussion, thinking of this, Qiao Yunsheng couldn't help laughing miserably in his heart, this time, he was extremely miserable.

Now the morning court and office time have long been changed, unlike before, get up in the middle of the night to work, so, although Qiao Yunsheng and they knelt for an hour, there was no movement at all, and the emperor did not send anyone to look at them, and there were no officials passing by on the side, except for a few eunuchs cleaning and guarding, they seemed to not exist.

Finally, it was dawn, but there was still no one, even the few eunuchs who were cleaning left, although the sun was shining on me, but I felt the cold. At this time, it is far from office time, the emperor generally has to deal with the government at the end of the hour, and the beginning of the hour, Qiao Yunsheng's sore legs are becoming more and more uncomfortable, Qiao Yunsheng began to feel that he seemed to have chosen the wrong time, he shouldn't have knelt here so early, who is this kneeling for?

After a while, officials gradually came to work, and they had to deal with some basic things before the emperor got up, and wait for the emperor to get up and review them. Seeing these officials kneeling on the ground, they shook their heads one by one, and hurriedly passed by, and some people walked by with sneers on their faces.

……

Yang Gengai had a good night's sleep today, since he became the emperor, there has never been a day like today to sleep comfortably, sleep sweetly, get up early in the morning, the window is already sunny, the spirit is exceptionally refreshing.

"It's a nice day!" Yang Gai felt the good weather in the house today, and said very happily.

"Your Majesty, this is the induction of heaven, God knows that Your Majesty has eradicated the salt merchants, so there is such a good weather to praise Your Majesty." Wang Chengen hurriedly flattered.

"Hahaha!" Yang Gengai laughed for a while, he was really happy to win yesterday.

"What about those people?" Yang Gengai asked nonchalantly.

"Your Majesty, I've been kneeling outside for an hour or two, but it's white kneeling, who is kneeling to show me!" Wang Chengen said disdainfully, now that the dust has settled, still kneeling? What if you kneel to death? I don't look at how the salt merchants are written in the Di newspaper today, these people probably haven't read the Di newspaper when they come out, otherwise, they will never kneel again.

"Hahahaha, how is today's Di Bao? Have you seen it? Yang Gengai asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, the slave has seen it, it's wonderful, does Your Majesty want to see it?" Wang Chengen replied with a smile.

"Well, show me." Last night, Yang Reform knew that he had won, so he slept peacefully, and today he just checked the situation and didn't care.

Wang Chengen handed over a copy of the newspaper.

After Yang Gai took it, he took a little look, and he understood that this newspaper really did not disappoint him, and it was full of reprimands for salt merchants, and it was a salt merchant with "seven killables", and the salt merchant was captured, and the crimes that should be killed were listed one by one.

"It's well written, hehehe, how do these people talk about it?" Yang asked again, disdainful of those who knelt.

"Back to Your Majesty, you will remember Your Majesty's goodness, but the crowd is angry, shouting to kill the salt merchants." Wang Chengen reported with a smile that Dongchang has been secretly controlling and collecting information in this regard, and he knows everything about the turmoil in the capital.

"Oh......" Yang reformed the word. Then he walked to the window, lifted the curtains, and looked outside.

……

The emperor woke up, and during office hours, there were more and more officials who came to Taimiao to do business, and when they saw this group of people kneeling in front of the Taimiao, they shook their heads, and many people bought a newspaper before coming to Taimiao, and they wanted to hand the newspaper in their sleeves to those people to see, but under the public, the emperor was under his nose, but he didn't dare, so he could only stuff the newspaper back, shook his head, and sighed and walked over.

Qiao Yunsheng was still kneeling there with a pale face, looking like he was at home, holding the book in his hand asking the emperor to take back his fate, and his eyes were staring at the main hall of the Taimiao. The hand that was being lifted could not be lifted for too long, and had to fall down, and it was already hanging down to the leg.

Yang Reform has come out, today's weather is really unspeakable, it can't be better, it seems that he really cleaned up the tumor of salt merchants.

"Companion, who wrote the Seven Killables? Who is Nendai? Yang Gengai asked suddenly. The headline on this front page is particularly eye-catching. ,

"Back to Your Majesty, why did Your Majesty forget it so quickly, Mr. Niantai is Shuntianfu Yin Liu Zong Zhou Wow!" Wang Chengen listened to the emperor's question, was stunned at first, and then explained to the emperor with a smile.

"Oh, Liu Zongzhou? He really wrote it! Hehe, okay, Fan Weicheng is really a good person, this thing is done well, it is beautiful......" Yang Gai exclaimed.

"Hehehe, that's ......" Wang Chengen couldn't help but laugh a few times with the emperor.

Seeing that the headline on the front page was written by Liu Zongzhou, Yang Reform came up with an idea, and asked again: "There are still those Donglin Party who wrote things and put them in the Di Bao?" Yang Gengai asked suddenly.

"Back to Your Majesty, I have to go, today's newspaper, in addition to Liu Zongzhou, more than half of it is written by Donglin Party members, and many Donglin Party members are anxious to clear up their relationship with salt merchants...... Wang Chengen said with a smile.

"Hey...... Walk! Go and see those who are still kneeling, go and ......" Yang Gengai laughed dryly, and suddenly said.

"Your Majesty, what should they do? They are willing to kneel, even if they kneel to death, they have nothing to do with Your Majesty, and the people of the world will only scold them for being shameless......" Wang Chengen is quite disdainful of those people, since he knew that the emperor could collect 10 million salt classes a year, he hated those people.

"Hehehe, no, I want to see what kind of expressions they should have after seeing this newspaper, I see how they can still kneel, hahaha......" Yang Reform suddenly found a fun thing.

……

Qiao Yunsheng took people and continued to kneel there, to be honest, this taste is really uncomfortable, if there is a court staff, he would rather be beaten by the court staff, that is, he will pass after a while, but the emperor does not want the court staff; This kneeling, but it is like an ant drilling into the heart, kneeling all over the body is extremely itchy, that taste, not to mention how uncomfortable, in order to show his resoluteness, it is not easy to move, so he can only resist to the death.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty ......" Qiao Yunsheng's eyes were sharp, and he saw the emperor at a glance. followed the ministers kneeling here, and they also exclaimed, their own kneeling finally had an effect, and the emperor still cared about them, as if he saw a life-saving straw.

When the officials who came to Taimiao to do business saw the emperor appear, they also saluted from afar, and some people stopped to watch to see what would happen.

Yang Reform only showed his face, did not approach the group of kneeling people, looked at it from a distance for a long time, and Yang Reform waved his hand. A little eunuch ran over quickly, threw a copy of the mansion newspaper in front of Qiao Yunsheng, and left quickly.

Qiao Yunsheng's group of people was grasping the straw that saved their lives, but they didn't see the emperor coming, only a little eunuch lost the mansion report, Qiao Yunsheng picked up the mansion newspaper suspiciously.

"Seven can be killed?" Qiao Yunsheng looked at the title, and was not surprised, the emperor would definitely make a big deal of it in the newspaper, and after reading it for a while, he didn't understand what the emperor meant.

Yang Gengai looked at Qiao Yunsheng and looked at the newspaper for a long time without reacting, and said: "It's stupid...... big companion, send someone over to explain." ”

"The slave obeys, and this is it!" Wang Chengen agreed, and then whispered a few words to a little eunuch.

The little eunuch nodded again and again, and ran towards Qiao Yunsheng again, and after a while, he whispered a few words in Qiao Yunsheng's ear.

Qiao Yunsheng was shocked!

I opened the newspaper again and again, looked at it carefully, and my expression fused.

"Haha...... Hahaha......" Qiao Yunsheng suddenly burst out laughing, the laughter was miserable and terrifying.

The kneeling people behind him were also shocked, and they all said: "Shangshu, my lord......"

"Open fire is in charge! Open fire is in the fight! Sure enough, that's right, Your Majesty, you're fighting with an open fire! …… Hahaha......" Qiao Yunsheng shouted a few times to declare the fire to fight, suddenly fell forward, and passed out.
