Chapter 658: The Son of Heaven Becomes a God
If it weren't for such a group of strong people in the rivers and lakes as laborers, in this cold winter and snowy weather, the construction of the altar would have been impossible to carry out for a long time.
As an emperor, Zhu Houzhao is definitely a qualified emperor, and tens of thousands of young and strong laborers are recruited with generous wages, and not only do not have the slightest complaint against this people, but respect Zhu Houzhao even more.
But Zhu Houzhao is benevolent to the people, but he will not have any sympathy for these bandits who have done a lot of evil on the rivers and lakes.
Although most of these people say that sin does not lead to death, they are also the kind of wicked people who do not have major sins, but have small sins.
If such wicked people were to say that the laws of the court were harsher, most of them would have to go on the court for a while.
It can even be said that if it weren't for the fact that a few years ago, the imperial court revised some of the laws and abolished a considerable part of the crimes of capital crimes, perhaps half of these people in the rivers and lakes would have been beheaded.
The fact that the court changed the law and abolished a considerable number of capital crimes does not mean that some of the sinners who committed great mistakes will end up well.
In the past few years, the imperial court has divided many royal clansmen into overseas lands, and those royal clansmen naturally try their best to take away some of the people of the Central Plains to move to the fiefdom for the sake of the future of their fiefdoms.
At the beginning, it was naturally very easy for those royal clansmen to recruit a considerable number of poor people, but gradually, as the poor people were recruited, it was very difficult for those royal clansmen to recruit ordinary people.
Originally, the fiefdom was enough to feed millions of people, but they spent a lot of effort and gave extremely generous conditions, and they were stunned that not many people were willing to go to overseas fiefdoms with them.
After all, the fefdom of the later is farther away from the Central Plains, and the fiefs of these royal clans are divided all the way down with the route of the external expansion of the Ming sea and land army, and it is conceivable that the fiefs of these royal clans that were later divided are actually quite far from the Central Plains.
If it is said that poverty and even survival are a problem, those people naturally have no choice, but they will seize any glimmer of life.
It's a pity that the lives of the people in the Central Plains are now more earth-shaking than ever.
Later royal clansmen often had to pay a great deal to recruit a group of civilians who were willing to follow them to their fiefdoms, but there was still a large gap in numbers.
Under these circumstances, the officials of the court implored the Son of Heaven to decree that the law would be amended, and some torture would be abolished, and if possible, some of the death penalty would be abolished, and it would be replaced by a fief of exile from the royal family thousands of miles away.
A few murderers are scattered among hundreds of fiefdoms, and no matter how murderous and arrogant these murderers are, it is impossible to make any waves in an unfamiliar environment.
Besides, it is impossible for a truly heinous person to have the opportunity to go to an overseas place, and he must go on the Dharma field once.
In the midst of the heavy snowfall, thousands of people in the rivers and lakes were dressed in thick clothes one by one, and they insisted on building the altar with their abundant blood.
There is a battalion of thousands of soldiers from the four guards battalion around the town, don't look at the only thousands of soldiers in the town, but even if these people in the rivers and lakes are given a bear-hearted leopard gall, they don't dare to leave the area around the altar.
Under the fire and crossbows, even the first-class players in the rivers and lakes can only be ranged in the face of such a battle.
Since these people in the rivers and lakes were arrested, there are not no people in the rivers and lakes who are trying to escape, and there are also many good people in the rivers and lakes who secretly take action, after all, in order to facilitate the work of these people, the cultivation of these captured people in the rivers and lakes has not been abolished, so as long as they are willing, they can still escape with their cultivation.
However, one by one, the unruly people will be caught the day after they are put into action, and then in front of everyone, they will shoot a hornet's nest with a strong crossbowman.
I have to say that the Tengxiang Four Guards Battalion guarded the altar very tightly, even these good hands in the rivers and lakes couldn't get out, and they were even easily caught.
This kind of thing is only a few times before many people have no idea of escaping, of course, there are always some newly captured people in the rivers and lakes who have a mysterious confidence in themselves, thinking that they can escape without being caught.
After all, most people have this kind of self-confidence, so almost every three to five days there will always be people who will stage a big escape drama, and then in less than a day, they will be able to see the escaped person be captured, and then show them what is called how an artificial hedgehog is formed.
In the midst of the heavy snow, the sound of horses' hooves approached, and the people who were building the altar couldn't help but follow the prestige, and when they saw the team of people and horses coming slowly in the wind and snow, many people's eyes showed such a look.
Everyone has long been accustomed to this kind of situation, and this is the scene of a battalion of Tengxiang Siwei Battalion sitting around the altar to arrest the escapees.
In a little while, people will be arrested and become their companions, and these people are all people who have done evil things on the rivers and lakes.
Not long ago, among a group of people who were captured, there were several brothers who were impressive.
Because these brothers quarreled with each other, they tore an old cow into six pieces, and these brothers are the famous six immortals of Peach Valley on the rivers and lakes.
The six immortals of Peach Valley were arrested for only three days, and on the first day, the old cattle who worked were torn apart, and the next day they chose to escape, and today is the third day, and the six immortals of Peach Valley were arrested.
Everything was expected by everyone.
With the sound of a loud whip, I saw a brocade guard in a brocade guard costume shouting at the crowd: "Someone, bring the fugitive!" β
Soon a group of soldiers came over with a few people.
Everyone looked at it, there were eight people who were escorted up, six of them were the six immortals of Peach Valley, and the six brothers were famous for their murder in the rivers and lakes, and they often tore people to pieces.
To put it nicely, the six immortals of Peach Valley are called naΓ―ve and ignorant, and if they don't sound good, they don't distinguish between good and evil, and they kill people like hemp.
If it weren't for the rush to work, it is very likely that the six immortals of Peach Valley would have cut off their heads directly on the court after being reviewed by the Criminal Department, but in order to build the altar, the six immortals of Peach Valley were sent here.
As a result, the six immortals of Peach Valley tore a cow on the first day, and fled the next day, although it was not the first time, but at least in the past half a year, I really haven't seen any people in the rivers and lakes who have been caught here be so arrogant.
One by one, the six brothers were escorted up with shackles, and they heard the eldest of the six immortals in Peach Valley shouting: "Let our brothers go, or we will tear you into eight pieces......
"Woo woo, brother, it hurts, they make me hurt so much!"
The place where the six immortals of Peach Valley passed was really a miasma, and as for the other few people in the rivers and lakes who escaped and were captured, they were silent one by one, obviously they had realized what happened to them next.
"Drink!"
I saw a general break his drink, and dozens of soldiers walked out slowly with strong crossbows in their hands, and the strong crossbows in the hands of these soldiers were already loaded with arrows, and the arrows were cold and shining, which made people feel cold.
"Bring the prisoner along, verify his identity, and punish him with a canonical punishment!"
Soon the six immortals of Peach Valley and several other people were escorted up, and these people were tied to several poles one by one.
Each of these poles is full of dark red bloodstains, more than one, not just one or two people, it can be said that since the pole was erected, there are no less than dozens of people in the rivers and lakes who have been tied to the pole and shot into a hornet's nest.
Several soldiers stepped forward to tie the six immortals of Peach Valley and the others to the pole, even the six immortals of Peach Valley realized that something was wrong at this time, and at the same time they yelled at the crowd.
"Ahh
It's a pity that in the face of the threat of the Six Immortals of Peach Valley, no one will take it to heart, if the Six Immortals of Peach Valley really run away, it will be quite a big trouble.
Several soldiers stepped forward to verify their identities one by one, and then a general opened his mouth to read out the judgment of these men.
The crime of escaping is an added crime, especially in order to deter these people in the rivers and lakes, a rule has been set from the beginning, but if someone escapes, once they are caught, no matter who they are, there is only one way to die.
As the bell rang urgently, I soon saw a large number of people in the rivers and lakes coming from all around, and most of them looked at the few people who were tied to the pole with a calm gaze.
"The hour has come, and the execution will be carried out immediately!"
There is a special order of the Son of Heaven, and the disposal of these fugitives does not need to be reported to the Criminal Department at all, and then reported to the Son of Heaven, and the Criminal Department and the Son of Heaven are directly bypassed, which can be said to be a special case.
Dozens of soldiers with strong crossbows stepped forward, and the strong crossbows in their hands locked on the few people in front of them, and the few people who were tied to the pillar watched as dozens of people on the opposite side locked themselves with strong crossbows, especially the moment when the cold and shining arrows were aimed at themselves, some people couldn't help but faint in fright.
Some people were so frightened that they shivered, and a fishy smell came out, but they were scared to pee.
The voices of bitter pleading are endless, but it's a pity that these people responded to that sentence, they didn't shed tears when they didn't see the coffin, and they didn't die until they didn't see the Yellow River.
One by one, they were full of confidence, thinking that they could escape, but they didn't know that whether it was Dongchang, Jinyiwei and Tengxiang Siwei Battalion, they had already laid a net around the altar, and anyone who kept it in and out couldn't escape the eyes of Dongchang and Jinyiwei.
In this case, it would be a surprise if someone was able to escape.
"Shoot!"
When the words fell, a loud sound was heard immediately, and the next moment was a scream.
It's a pity that the scream was very short, but it lasted for a few times, and the scream was completely silent.
Look at it again, on the pole, those people have been shot alive on the spot by the crossbow.
A hundred households in charge of guarding these people in the rivers and lakes swept his eyes like knives over the crowd, and sneered: "See, this official said that if you want to escape, you can escape, and this official will never stop you, as long as you feel that you can really escape, otherwise, these people are your example." β
Hearing the words of these hundred household officials, many people in the rivers and lakes lowered their heads, with an unwilling look in their eyes, but they just thought about what would happen to those who had always chosen to escape, and the unwillingness in their hearts disappeared immediately.
On the high attic in the Forbidden City, Zhu Houzhao could only see the towering altar, but he couldn't see what was happening at the altar at this time.
However, even if Zhu Houzhao can see it, he will not have any abnormal reaction with Zhu Houzhao's temperament.
With his eyes retracted from the vast void, Zhu Houzhao slowly went down the attic and returned accompanied by Wang Zheng and Shao Yuanjie.
In the quiet room, Zhu Houzhao sat down, Shao Yuanjie stood aside, and saw that on the table in front of Zhu Houzhao, a bright yellow silk silk was unfolded and placed there very neatly.
When Shao Yuan's program swept over the silk silk, especially when he saw the content on the silk, Shao Yuanjie's heart was filled with bitterness, both helpless and a little want to laugh, and at the same time sighed for the persistence of the Son of Heaven.
In addition to Shao Yuanjie and Wang Zheng, only Zhu Houzhao knows about this silk silk, including Yang Yiqing, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Wang Yangming, the Duke of Anguo, who have never seen this silk silk.
If someone sees the content on the silk silk, I am afraid that they will also have a strange feeling like Shao Yuanjie.
This is a prayer to worship the heavens, of course, there are many people who worship the heavens in the past dynasties, and the prayers naturally have certain similarities, but this time, Shao Yuanjie and Wang Zheng saw the prayer prepared by Zhu Houzhao
