Chapter 307: Good Emperor

Mu Bin responded,

"This thing is also available in the Jingwei Shenji Battalion, but I think King Ning is an imitation, and the thunderbolt of the Jingzhong Shenji Battalion can be blown up within a radius of ten zhang......"

However, although the power is great, five or six out of ten can be fried, and five or six of the five or six can be fried, and three or two of them can be blown up if they want to, this thing is too dangerous, even the Shenji Battalion dare not use it!

King Ning is an imitation, and he thinks that he also has the problem of not working at this time, but now that the emperor is here, who dares not to gamble?

Everyone slowly escorted His Majesty to retreat, but King Ning laughed, the muscles on his face kept jumping, and his eyes were crazy,

"Haha! Zhu Houzhao...... Let's die together, how about going underground to see Taizu? ”

Saying that, he forced a few steps forward, and everyone was so frightened that they took two steps back, and King Ning laughed proudly when he saw this,

"Hahaha...... Ha...... Ha ......"

"Bang ......"

There was a loud bang, a puff of smoke rose up, followed by King Ning's screams,

"Ah......h

Before everyone could see what the situation was, they saw Wei Wu rubbing his body and pounced, pressing King Ning to the ground heavily, picking up something and smashing it down.

"Bang ......"

It was hitting the bridge of his nose, everyone only heard a crisp sound, King Ning's nostrils were neutral and shed two injections of blood, but Wei Wu broke the bridge of his nose, and a group of people saw the opportunity to rush up, Jinyi Wei Yu grabbed people, all of them were veterans, and they went up and unloaded King Ning's arms, only to find that King Ning's arm was surging blood, and it turned out that he was injured.

Someone in this room went over and carefully picked up the thunderbolt that fell in the grass, Wei Wu also pulled out of the crowd, carefully pulled his sleeve and wiped the short gun in his hand, and said with a smile,

"Fortunately, Lao Tzu was prepared!"

He knew that his martial arts were not good, so he simply practiced martial arts on the one hand, and asked Wang Dahu to find an old friend who was familiar with the Shenji Battalion, and got such a short gun, and practiced it from time to time.

Zhu Houzhao saw that King Ning was restrained, so he came over and pointed to the swarthy thing.

"Take a look at that thing!"

The lower head carefully offered it,

"Your Majesty, be careful, if this thing doesn't get right, it will explode!"

Zhu Houzhao took it in his hand and checked it, found that there was a drop in his hand, and then took it to the end of his nose and smelled it, there was a smell of saltpeter sulfur, and he thought about it,

"Put the things away first, I'll take a closer look when I'm free!"

Everyone tied up King Ning with five flowers, but in order to prevent him from talking nonsense again, Mu Bin personally removed his chin joints, and when King Ning's eyes were red and his eyes were resentful, he was escorted away, and the rest was to chase down the remnants of the rebels.

When Li Dongyang heard the news and rushed to Xiaojianshan on the second day, the battle had already ended, and Jingwei had already cleaned the battlefield, but he had 3,000 dead and wounded, more than 2,000 rebels killed and wounded, and more than 14,000 captured.

Zhu Houzhao's face was gloomy when he heard the news, and he said secretly,

"But a group of rabble, with the elite division of my Jingwei, will have so many casualties, if you want Jingwei to be like this, how can you imagine the military strength of the guards in various places!"

At this time, the emperor knew that the Daqing military was abandoned to this point, no wonder the Tatars could knock on the side for many years, and even killed under the city of Beijing, how can such an army protect the safety of the people and protect the king!

It's just that this is not the time to think about this, Zhu Houzhao instructed Li Dongyang,

"Ge Lao, King Ning's rebellion has been known to me in advance, and now the rebels have been annihilated eight or nine times out of ten, and King Ning has been captured alive and detained, and the follow-up will be to ask Ge Lao to take action!"

Li Dongyang nodded and said,

"The old minister obeys!"

As for how to order the local government to clean up the rebels, how to thoroughly investigate the same party, uproot the power of King Ning, and how to liquidate and copy King Ning's property, issue a notice to reassure the people, record King Ning's evil deeds to the people, and summon the people to complain to the Yamen of Nanchang Mansion, and recover the fields and shops occupied by King Ning, etc., there is no need to repeat it.

King Ning's rebellion was transmitted back to Beijing is a shock to the government and the opposition, all of them are full of King Ning's wolf ambitions, so not sinister, fortunately His Majesty is wise and decisive, one step ahead of his conspiracies, and he was prepared to not let King Ning succeed, and the emperor took pity on the people of Nanchang Mansion who were oppressed by King Ning, and countless people died in their families, so they simply paid all the property confiscated in King Ning's Mansion to Nanchang Mansion for three years of taxes, and the people of Nanchang Mansion heard it and praised it, and everyone kowtowed.

When the royal car left Nanchang Mansion, it was a real empty alley, hundreds of people knelt down by the dock to pour dust, farewell to the Shengming monarch, and saw the dragon boat sailing away from the dock, but it was Qi Qi Mountain Hu,

"Hooray! Banzai! Hooray! ”

Its sound shook the sky, its momentum shook the mountains, listening to Zhu Houzhao's ears, he couldn't help but sigh, standing on the bow of the boat with his hands and watching the people on the dock gradually blur, until he disappeared, he turned around with a complicated expression.

Seeing this, Wei Wu asked,

"Your Majesty, this trip can be said to be a full return, punishing King Ning's rebellion, and doing nothing for the people of Nanchang Mansion, and now Li Ge Lao looks at Your Majesty differently, how can Your Majesty not be very happy?"

Zhu Houzhao sighed and said,

"I didn't know before, but now I know how pure and good my people are in Daqing, King Ning is a member of my royal family surnamed Zhu, but he is a vassal king who was divided by his ancestors, and I want Taizu to divide the vassal king to various places, just to keep a place safe and protect the people......"

After the founding of the country, Taizu divided several of his capable sons to the outside to garrison the frontier, at the beginning it was indeed to protect the family and defend the country, that is, the Son of Heaven had to guard the country, the vassal kings for the people of the country in the bitter cold land to guard that is also a matter of course, only Taizu he was an old man, but he did not expect that there would be a martyrdom later, Taizong started from the vassal king, but after ascending the throne, he was afraid that other brothers would also learn from themselves to rebel, so he refused to let the vassal king take power, so they moved to a prosperous place, kept in captivity in a city, and ordered local officials to secretly monitor, If the vassal kings have any changes, they must report to the imperial court.

In the past year, the vassal kings have been raised to be invalids, indulging in alcohol with nothing to do, and there are many children born one after another, and there are also King Ning, who forcibly occupy land, rob the people's daughters, harm the people, and even intend to rebel against the vassal kings.

Zhu Houzhao smiled bitterly,

"How simple our people are in Daqing, it is obvious that my Zhu family has harmed them, and I am exempting their taxes to make amends for my Zhu royal family, which is the proper meaning, and this is also the reason why I did not do a good job as the emperor, but the people have no resentment, but kneel down and thank God, and the mountain shouts long live......"

Speaking of this, he sighed and said,

"When I heard this, I only felt that my face was gloomy, and I was really panicked!"

As soon as he said this, Wei Wu had not yet spoken, but he heard someone on the side say loudly,

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The two turned their heads and saw that Li Dongyang was standing not far away, with a burst of excitement on his old face, he stepped forward a few steps, knelt down and kowtowed.

"Your Majesty, being able to reflect on yourself, understand the difficulties of the people's livelihood, and love and pity the people is really a blessing for the ministers and the people!"

Seeing this, Zhu Houzhao hurriedly said,

"Mr. Li doesn't have to be like this, I just feel it for a while!"

Li Dongyang answered,

"Your Majesty, look at how many holy monarchs and wise monarchs throughout the ages, all of them love the people like sons, and they have long been self-conscious, and like the king of the scum, only arrogant and lascivious, and regard the people as mustard, so that the disaster that overthrows the country, Your Majesty can have some understanding of the image of a virtuous monarch, and the old minister should congratulate Your Majesty!"

Zhu Houzhao sighed secretly when he heard this,

"Mingjun...... Let me be Mingjun all of them, Mingjun is so easy to do, it's very hard and tiring! ”

He really gained a lot from this trip to the south, and he saw a lot of people's sufferings in disguise, so that the emperor, who had been living in that anointed land, knew for the first time that being an emperor was not only to deal with the courtiers, to deal with the tricks of hundreds of officials, to play with the concubines in the palace, but also to take on the livelihood of hundreds of millions of people, so that they could have clothing, food, and farming, so that they would not sell their children and daughters, and they would not have no fixed residence.

Such a big country, so many people, and he is the emperor, all the people die and live, the Son of Heaven can decide with one word, and a city and a place can prosper or decline because of him!

With such a big responsibility, how can he not be afraid or worried that he will not be able to do well?

Zhu Houzhao spent an hour listening to Li Ge Lao's discussion on how to be a virtuous emperor, and after sending the satisfied Li Ge Lao away, he asked Wei Wu with a wry smile,

"Do you want me to be a gentleman too?"

Wei Wu thought for a moment and responded,

"Where is Mingjun so easy to do! From the Qin Emperor and the Han Dynasty to the present, there can be a few Ming monarchs who will go down in history, and it would be good if Your Majesty could have a clear conscience! ”

His answer was full of Zhu Houzhao's intentions, and he nodded when he heard the words,

"I also feel like this, it's too tiring to be a Ming Jun, and I will be scolded for being a faint king, so it's better to be an emperor according to my own heart!"

Only the two of them know that in this world, the Ming Jun is easy to do, and the Dum Jun is even better, but it is the most difficult to just want to be an emperor who follows his own heart!

They were talking about how to be the emperor above, but Han Qi was reminding Xia Xiaomei below,

"Niangniang, we will return to Beijing soon, you still have to think about how to explain to the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother!"

The Empress Dowager is okay, she is not the mother of the first emperor, and now it is the turn of her grandson to be the emperor, so she will naturally not be annoying to come out to take care of things, but the Empress Dowager listened to what Liu Jin said, and she was afraid that they would not be good after they went back.

Xia Xiaomei didn't care about the answer when she heard this,

"What are you afraid of, the soldiers are coming, the water is flooding, I can't get by, so I moved Your Majesty to save me!"

She was a bachelor, Han Qi was amused and angry when she heard it, so she reminded her,

"Don't let Your Majesty come forward in this matter, if the Queen Mother punishes you, you just admit the punishment, don't ask Your Majesty to come forward......"
