"Don't you dare?" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed.

"Zhu Bugs...... Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall...... Demolishing this thing is more serious than killing officials and rebelling. A bold young man said: "That's nine thousand years old, only a thousand years younger than the emperor, if we demolish his ancestral hall, the sin is worse than killing the county commander, oh, no, it is more serious than killing the prefect." ”

"That's right!" Zhu Yuanzhang said seriously: "Poking a hole in the sky, and it is terrible to offend Wei Zhongxian, what?" Are you scared? ”

"Don't be afraid!" A young man said arrogantly, but his voice trembled slightly, and he seemed to be quite afraid.

"Didn't you just say that if Bugling Zhu falls in love with a little daughter-in-law or daughter-in-law of a family, do you dare to snatch it? What's wrong with it now? Another young man laughed and said, "Listening to what you say, I tremble." I'm not afraid, Zhu Bugling said to demolish, I will demolish it, no matter whose ancestral hall he is, it's a big deal to go to the grass after the demolition. ”

"Cut, as a result, you are also afraid, as soon as you open your mouth, you will say that the grass is a coward, that is the way that only those who are afraid of the government will go."

A group of young people argued.

Zhu Yuanzhang swept over their faces in turn and found that they were indeed a little scared, but this fear was a very normal reaction. You must know that people are not machines, it is impossible to be fearless of anything, and people who are really not afraid of anything are children, and they are not enough to succeed.

A mature person will know to be afraid of enemies he cannot provoke, respect heroes who are stronger than himself, and be afraid, so that he will know how to protect himself in a fierce battle......

He was very satisfied with the reaction of this group of young people, and laughed in a low voice: "I just said, I want to test everyone's courage, if what you want to do is not scary enough, but also test the courage of a fart?" How's it going? ”

"Go! Of course go! Although there was a look of fear on their faces, none of the young people flinched.

Zhu Yuanzhang also knows that it is impossible for them to retreat, men always have to take care of their own face at such a time, if everyone around them says to go, and you alone say no, it will be cowardice and will be looked down upon by everyone. Throughout the ages, there have been many people who did not want to rebel, but as a result, they were bound by this psychology and rebelled, but this does not mean that they will become capitulators, and there are many people who are bound by others to rebel and achieve great things.

For example, Xu Da, the founding general of the Ming Dynasty, is one of them, he was Zhu Yuanzhang's childhood playmate, and he once herded cattle together, which can be regarded as a cattle herding baby. After Zhu Yuanzhang rose to prominence in the rebel army, he went back to his hometown to recruit troops and horses, and asked Xu Da, do you dare to rebel with me? Xu Da's head was hot: "You are a cow herder, and so am I, you dare to rebel, why don't I dare?" ”

As a result, this cowherd baby with a hot brain was tied up by Zhu Yuanzhang...... Later, Xu Dacheng became a famous marshal in the world, invincible, invincible, and frequent, and became the first hero of the founding of the Ming Dynasty. His story also shows that Zhu Yuanzhang is not the only one in the world who is a cattle herder, and the cow herding baby surnamed Xu is not bad.

Bind up this group of young people, but you can't simply tie them up, but also settle their hearts, so that they think that what they are doing is righteous and beneficial to the people, so as to be conducive to the stability of the team. Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "Everyone, listen up, I asked everyone to demolish Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall, not only to test everyone's courage, but also to eliminate harm for the people." ”

He said righteously and solemnly, and his face was full of righteousness and awe-inspiring: "How hateful Wei Zhongxian is, everyone should have heard of Mr. Storyteller...... He has been distracted, arbitrarily dictated national politics, harmed virtuous ministers, made the world miserable, and in order to build a shrine, he invaded fertile land and made the people miserable...... Let's demolish his ancestral hall to show our heroic righteousness! ”

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang's description of Wei Zhongxian is not entirely his own opinion. After hundreds of years of wandering observation, he knew that Wei Zhongxian was a meritorious person and could not be killed with a stick, but in order to arouse the sense of justice of these young people and give them a high-sounding reason to act, it would not hurt him to temporarily smear Wei Zhongxian.

As soon as Zhu Yuanzhang said it on the phone, the young people's faces suddenly showed excitement, and they shouted: "Well said! Brother Zhu, let's do it with you! At this time, in addition to fear, there was also a sense of pride and determination in their eyes. This is where Zhu Yuanzhang is smarter than Zheng Yanfu, Zheng Yanfu's team only has the idea of "killing officials and rebelling", and lacks a glorious and righteous goal, so when they entered the county seat and grabbed the silver in the county warehouse, they quickly deteriorated and became the first robber to plunder.

But Zhu Yuanzhang first gave his young people a righteous goal, so that they always reminded themselves that what I do is for the people, for the people of the world, not for myself, so that the mental state of the team will be easier to maintain for a long time, and it is not easy to corrupt and deteriorate so quickly.

Once the spiritual preparations are made, it is time to start making some substantive preparations. Zhu Yuanzhang asked the young people to go home, bring the tools needed to demolish the house, including shovels, hoes, shovels, etc., and asked people to take a few large baskets to prepare for loading the valuable goods that were dismantled, and set the meeting place after the house was demolished.

On the first watch, everyone began to set off, along the path by the field stalks, towards Wei Zhongxian's ancestral hall in a hurry, and in the middle of the night, at the third watch, they happened to come to the vicinity of the ancestral hall.

This ancestral hall was built on the side of the road less than a mile away from the shirt family, it was built by the shirt of the shirt family at the beginning, it took tens of thousands of taels of silver to build, it was extremely magnificent and solemn, the Zhu family carved beams, glazed yellow tiles, compared to the palace is not inferior.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked the young people to silence all of them, lying down under the field stalk a few hundred meters away from the ancestral hall, and he himself quietly touched it, wanting to see if there was anyone keeping vigil in the ancestral hall.

Sure enough, the door of the ancestral hall was closed, Zhu Yuanzhang went to the wall, threw out the rope, and lassoed a corner of the eaves above the gate, and then lifted his body lightly, and climbed the courtyard wall and fell into the ancestral hall lightly. The ancestral hall was lit with ever-bright lanterns, and the two family members of the shirt family were dozing off by the hall, Zhu Yuanzhang quietly touched it, his hand fell from the palm, and quickly cut it on the back of their necks, and the two family members were still asleep, and they were knocked unconscious.

He wandered around the ancestral hall again, and saw no one else, so he turned around, opened the door of the ancestral hall, and beckoned to the young people outside.

A group of bold young men jumped out of hiding and ran over in high spirits.

Zhu Yuanzhang lowered his voice and ordered: "This place is very close to the compound of the Shirt family, everyone must keep quiet, attract the Shirt family's family to come over, and things will be troublesome." ”

"Well, we can save it." The young people whispered in response.

"Okay, let's move all the valuable things." Zhu Yuanzhang said with a smile: "These things were forcibly taken from the poor people by the eunuchs, Wei Zhongxian is not qualified to enjoy these things, let's take these things to help the poor people live." ”

"Good!" The young people were very excited and began to walk around the hall, and Zhu Yuanzhang also moved with them, only to see a statue of Wei Zhongxian in the center of the ancestral hall, with a clay body and gold dust on the outside. In front of the statue there is an incense table, displaying many melons and fruits, two candlesticks are lit, emitting a soft red light, and there is a gauze tent hanging in front of the statue.

Zhu Yuanzhang grabbed a candlestick and said with a smile: "This candlestick is made of silver, it is quite heavy, we can use it to buy rice to eat." He threw the menorah into the bamboo basket carried by two young men behind him, who laughed under their breath.

One of them jumped on the desk, took off the gauze tent and hung it high: "Let's take this tent, at least two buckets of rice." ”

The other person wrapped all the melons and fruits on the table in his clothes, put them in a bamboo basket, and said with a smile: "Take them all back and eat them, there are a few children in my village who are hungry, and they must like these tributes." ”

They had just cleaned the desk, and two other young people came over next to them, and they laughed: "You guys are so stupid, why did you even let go of this table?" It's a great sandalwood table, move away! The two young men lifted it slightly, lifted up the desk where the tribute was placed, and ran away.

The figures in the ancestral hall are swaying, and everyone is looking for valuable things, and everything that can be moved is removed. A few young men folded an arhat, and sent a smaller, more agile guy to the roof, and he lifted the glazed yellow tiles on the roof, and laughed in a low voice: "This tile is valuable, let's take it all." ”

"Then you throw it down, let's continue!"

"Be careful, if you let this tile fall to the ground, the sound will be very loud, and it will alarm the people of the shirt family......"

"Shhhh......h

The little man on the roof began to throw the glazed tiles down, one by one, and the people below covered them with clothes, and then stacked the tiles neatly in the bamboo basket, filled the basket, and someone lifted the basket, ran out of the ancestral hall, and went away, first going to the meeting place set by Zhu Yuanzhang.

There are fewer and fewer things in the ancestral hall, the bamboo basket is loaded with baskets and baskets, and there are fewer and fewer people who stay to fold the house......

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled angrily: "What are you doing? This broken statue, before leaving, smashed it, what kind of gold dust is scraped? ”

"This gold dust is also money!" The young man smiled and said, "I don't want to leave a copper plate for Wei Zhongxian." ”

"Fool, scraping gold dust is a meticulous job, and you can't finish it at dawn, why don't you leave quickly? In case someone comes, the first one will catch you. ”

The young man gave up scraping the gold dust and withdrew with the others.

By the time the day dawned, the ancestral hall was empty, and there was nothing left, not to mention the contents of the house, not even the roof tiles.

The young people all carried bamboo baskets and left, Zhu Yuanzhang was the last to evacuate, he glanced at the ancestral hall with four walls, and couldn't help but think: It's a pity that these walls and wooden beams can't be taken away, so they will be left to the government to demolish and sell them.

He walked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, and was about to rush back to the meeting place agreed with the young man, when he suddenly saw Li Min in the morning light, a carriage was running rapidly from a distance, and it seemed that it was heading towards the compound of the shirt family.

"Huh? At such times, a carriage came galloping in, and it seemed that something must have happened. Zhu Yuanzhang's heart couldn't help but move.
