Chapter 415: Sin Deserves It
In the capital, in the Jinluan Palace, the ministers are curious about where the emperor has gone in the past two days? Is it really as some people say, the emperor and the queen have the ability to travel thousands of miles a day?
Today's court meeting revolves around the issue of the Lingnan people's riots, and many officials feel that Daqi has not increased taxes in the past two years, so why are they not satisfied?
"The court thinks about the people, but it's not the case when you get to the place, this time the Lingnan incident is a lesson in blood, the prefect of Liuguang City took away all the food in the hands of the people, and asked everyone to hand over their own iron pots, as well as cotton clothes and quilts, and it is mandatory to hand it over.
His explanation to the people was that the imperial court needed to hoard grain and grass, and needed iron to make weapons, as well as cotton clothes and quilts for soldiers. Lingnan has entered the winter, there is no food and no cotton clothes, how can the people live, they can only rob the granary and fight against the officers and soldiers in order for their families to survive. ”
The ministers never dreamed that the truth of the matter was like this, Wu Xun stood up and asked the emperor to send him to Liuguang City to arrest corrupt officials, that kind of person would be cheap for him to break his corpse.
"Someone came to bring the corrupt official surnamed Tang and his subordinates!" Mo Huaiyu's voice fell, and Yinzhuo took people to the Jinluan Palace.
"Tang Feng, you are guilty!"
Tang Feng, who was kneeling below, didn't believe that this was the capital, because it couldn't be explained! Streamer City is thousands of miles away from the capital, how can it be possible to arrive in one day.
"Who are you who dare to pretend to be the emperor, and let so many people pretend to be officials, not to mention that this hall is quite magnificent, quite like that, it seems that Brother Tai is quite rich!" Tang Feng simply sat on the ground.
Yin Zhuo wanted to step forward to remind him, Mo Huaiyu waved his hand to let him retreat, and the ministers automatically retreated, this Tang Feng's capital crime was not gone. Now it depends on how to die, speak wildly in front of the emperor, or die, it is not too much to be afraid of Ling Chi, the emperor is not a soft-hearted person.
"Well, do you think it's good here?" Mo Huaiyu, who was dressed in a bright yellow robe, stepped down from the dragon chair and came to Tang Feng's side and asked.
"Are you a vassal king and want to rebel? I'm not that kind of person, I'm loyal to Daqi. Although Tang Feng also wanted to take the rebel route in his heart, he had no choice but not enough strength, so he could be said to have a thief's heart but not a thief's courage.
He felt that he was greedy for a little money, and even if he found out, he would not be sentenced to death, and if he dismissed the official, he would find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers with money, and he would still be able to live a very comfortable life.
"You are faithful...... I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding of this word, as a local governor forced the people to rebel, not to mention the civilians and soldiers who were killed and injured in the conflict, do you know how many people died of starvation because they had no clothes to wear and no food? ”
Tang Feng put on an expression that they were all ordinary people, and if they died, they would die, Mo Huaiyu went up and kicked Tang Feng more than ten meters away, hit the pillar and bounced back.
"Why do you do it to me, I'm a third-grade official, you dare to wear a dragon robe in private, and set up a small court, you really think it's the emperor, be careful I will sue you!" Tang Feng pointed at Mo Huaiyu and said.
"Have any of you ever seen this fool? Tell him if I'm a fake or not. ”
"You still dare to call yourself my ......"
"Hey, Tang Feng, Tang Feng, you are really looking for death, this is really our emperor." An official who had dealt with Tang Feng stood up, and he didn't want to do this, but if Tang Feng continued to speak, the emperor would have to scrape the edge if he really punished the nine clans.
Tang Feng looked up at the other party, his face turned from red to white little by little, and sweat dripped from a thin layer to a bunch. After a long time, Tang Feng suddenly got up, knelt on the ground, and crawled to Mo Huaiyu's feet: "The emperor and the minister are guilty, but the minister is really thinking about Daqi!" With enough iron, you can refine weapons, and with cotton clothes and quilts, soldiers won't be frozen! ”
Mo Huaiyu's face also changed, not moved but angry: "So I and Daqi still want to thank you, do you know that because of your decision, many people died in Streamer City!" ”
Tang Feng knelt on the ground and trembled, Mo Huaiyu had a headache: "You don't care if the people live or die as soon as you give an order, you know that in order to clean up the aftermath for you, my queen took her family to the nearby city in the middle of the night to collect grain, and when she returned to Liuguang City, she began to give porridge and grain early in the morning."
She has to bear the people's dissatisfaction with the government and me, and she is busy helping the people every day and listening to those people's complaints and insults. Queen, she has done something wrong, why should she suffer this for you. ”
The ministers knelt down in unison: "Long live the emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live the queen's mother, long live, long live!" ”
"Spread my will, Tang Feng faked my will, disregarded the law of the country, and trapped the people of Liuguang City in the dire situation and sentenced to Ling Chi, starting from the capital, cut ten knives in the most lively part of each city, and after the cut, he was declared guilty on the spot, and he was not allowed to be drugged or killed on the road.
The last stop was chosen in Streamer City, where people were tied to pillars, and all the people who had been persecuted could go up and cut their flesh and let their blood.
After all the family property of the Tang Mansion was sold, food, clothing and iron pots were purchased and given to the local people, and all men, women and children in the house were sent to the mountains for mining. ”
Such a punishment is ruthless enough, but compared to what Tang Feng has done, it is not an exaggeration at all.
After listening to Mo Huaiyu's words, Tang Feng was stunned on the spot, Mo Huaiyu was too lazy to see him, and asked the guards to drag people out, and those who followed him in embarrassment were also punished, and finally Mo Huaiyu announced that he would change the name of Streamer City to Yunuan City, and Mo Huaiyu personally inscribed it for people to send over.
Ten days later, the appointed officials took over Ji Nuan's work, and the new prefect announced the results of the emperor's punishment of Tang Feng in front of the people.
Ji Nuan wanted to withdraw quietly, but the prefect knelt on the ground with the officials: "Thank you to the emperor and the queen, the people of Yunuan City will always remember the emperor and the queen's kindness." ”
What, Queen Mother! The people were stunned at the time, no one would have thought that this person who looked very good-tempered, never annoyed when he heard the people complain and complained, and was fortunately comforted by the queen turned out to be the queen.
Many people who scolded the court in front of Ji Nuan knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly, and Ji Nuan helped the prefect weakly: "Everyone, get up, in the final analysis, this matter is that we are not good enough, and we have been exploited by the selfish officials below, causing everyone to suffer."
Since the new emperor ascended the throne, he has been paying attention to the people's livelihood and putting the people's affairs in his heart, and we have indeed collected grain and grass, but that is all purchased by the emperor and the palace with the money in the private treasury, just to prevent disasters from being used to solve urgent needs, and really have never collected anything among the people.
If there is such a thing in the future, you can directly enter Beijing to sue the emperor, and then meet a dog official like Tang Feng, who beat someone to death in the palace and ask for credit for you. ”
