Chapter 192: Hanging the rebellious ministers outside the city to show the public, destroy their clans, and let the people share the food!
"There is a reason for that! Even if my Zhu family deserves to die, they can't be used by these ungrateful guys. ”
Apocalypse nodded at this time and said, "I decided not to kill you, not because your sins are forgivable, but because it is rare for the sect to have such a person who recognizes their faces, and it is a pity to kill them!" ”
"But you can be exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime cannot be escaped, you will be removed from the title of King Lu, all the family property will be confiscated, all the fields will be divided among the people, and all your descendants will be reduced to commoners, and they will be distributed to southern Liaoning! Yourself. ”
Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui as he spoke: "You have a lot of ideas, tell me how to deal with it?" ”
Zhang Gui thought for a while and said: "It's better to let Uncle Huang go to all the cities in the world to talk about how he was used by gentry with evil intentions such as Wang Yongguang, so that everyone in the world will know about Wang Yongguang's viciousness!" So that the clans and people of the world are no longer easily deceived by these people, so that they know that those who claim benevolence, righteousness and morality in their mouths may not believe in benevolence, righteousness and morality in their hearts. ”
"Your Majesty! The sinners are willing, and the sinners are willing to tell everything to the people of the world, confess their sins, and expose the sins of the inferior gentry and hypocrites! ”
"Even if it is a woodcutter's pawn, the minister will say to them, begging them to listen! Tell me how these traitors are demagoguing their ministers! ”
Zhu Changshu knelt down as he spoke, and said, "Please be gracious to Your Majesty!" It is better to let the criminal minister do such a thing than to kill the minister directly! ”
"It's Zhang Qing in the end!"
Tianqi said with a smile and was about to agree, but at this time, Wang Yongguang hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty! Although Zhu Changshu is an imperial uncle, he is the first evil of rebellion, how can he be appeased! Your Majesty can't mess with the royal law and not kill this person! ”
Ding Qirui also hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the king of the Holy Ming since ancient times, will never tolerate adultery!" Please Your Majesty will correct Zhu Changshu! ”
"I am a faint king, I can do whatever I want, and I will tolerate and nurture traitors. What can you do? If you have the ability, you can rebel again! It's a big deal for me to lead the army again! ”
Apocalypse looks shameless, what can you look like at Wang Yongguang and other ministers, and replied.
Ding Qirui: "......"
Wang Yongguang also felt depressed, and said in his heart: "It's really bad luck, the Son of Heaven is really not as easy to control as King Lu, talk to him about the etiquette system, he talks to you about the law of the country, he talks to him about the law of the country, and he plays hooligan with you again!" ”
After the apocalypse made Wang Yongguang and the others speechless at this time, he said to Zhu Changshu: "I'm right!" Spread the decree, Jinyi Wei set up a mission department, sent a team of people, escorted Zhu Changshu to inspect the world, and asked him to tell the people of the world about the reasons for the rebellion, and when he met someone, he would talk about it, regardless of whether he was rich or poor. ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Zhu Changshu was overjoyed and banged his head, and at the same time, he also glanced at Wang Yongguang and the others, and wanted to see how the apocalypse would deal with these people.
Tianqi looked at Wang Yongguang and said, "Wang Yongguang, you just said that you made it easier for me to quell the rebellion so that you made it easier for me to compromise the rebels, and even did not hesitate to destroy his foundation by selling his official position, embezzling and accepting bribes, and instigating my imperial uncle to levy more on the people. ”
Wang Yongguang replied loudly: "Your Majesty! The minister is indeed doing this for His Majesty, and the minister's loyalty to His Majesty can be learned from heaven and earth, the sun and the moon! ”
"Did I let you do that?!"
Apocalypse suddenly roared angrily and said, "As a scholar, you keep saying that you want to live for the common people in the world!" As a result, in order to destroy the foundation of the rebels, they did not hesitate to let the people suffer from additional levies! Do you know how many displaced people, how many starvations, and how many people will commit suicide because they can't stand the harsh government! What is the life of the people? Where have you read all your sages' books, and you keep saying that you did it for me, have I begged you to do it?! Do I need you to do this to put down the rebellion?! ”
"You bastard!"
Tianqi scolded and scolded, and whipped at Wang Yongguang, and then said: "I am not King Lu, not so good!" ”
As he spoke, Tianqi picked up his horsewhip and pointed at Wang Yongguang and Ding Qirui, who were scholars and Confucian scholars: "Don't think that I don't know why you came to King Lu!" I know that! It's just that I didn't let you ride on the heads of the common people arbitrarily, and I didn't obey your words and be an emperor in line with the image in your hearts! ”
Apocalypse laughed as he spoke: "However, you lost, and you lost completely!" ”
Then, Tianqi looked at Wang Yongguang again and said, "Wang Yongguang, this is the result of you letting King Lu do benevolent government?" He also said that all of you are in the dynasty, and my court is full of traitors, but as a result, why did you all come to kneel to welcome me? ”
"Your Majesty is angry! The minister really doesn't have such a mind! The minister just advised His Majesty to be kind to the people and gentry, not to be unkind like King Lu! ”
Wang Yongguang still pretended to be extremely aggrieved and shouted.
"Wang Yongguang! Why are you so shameless! ”
Zhu Changshu became even more angry when he heard it.
Wang Yongguang objected to Zhu Changshu and roared angrily: "Zhu Changshu, you are shameless, you are ashamed of Your Majesty, you are ashamed of the first emperor, and you are ashamed of the people of Henan, if it weren't for you, how could there be today!" You are still going to plant all this on our heads now, you ask yourself, if it is not your own ambition and want to be the emperor, who can force you to rebel?! ”
Bang!
The apocalypse has opened.
Wang Yongguang fell to the ground on the spot, his back was gushing blood, and he looked at Tianqi with a shocked face: "Your Majesty, you are." ”
"You're so noisy!"
Tianqi replied, and ordered: "Hang Wang Yongguang outside the city to show the public, let him be exposed to the wind and sun, and relieve the anger of the local people!" In addition, punish his clan and copy his home! ”
As he spoke, Tianqi looked at Wang Yongguang again: "You don't have to give the money you swallowed, I am the lord of the world, you can take it yourself!" ”
"Your Majesty, can you not hang your ministers outside, you will starve too much, so that the ministers will be eaten by the hungry people!"
Wang Yongguang pleaded with his last breath.
Apocalypse smiled: "This is the best!" ”
"Your Majesty! You! ”
Wang Yongguang closed his eyes angrily.
Then, Tianqi looked at Ding Qirui, the ministers who knelt down to greet him: "Although you took the initiative to surrender like him Wang Yongguang, you also have a part in instigating King Lu to rebel and treat the people harshly. Therefore, Ling Chi can be avoided, but the capital crime is not avoidable. Otherwise, it is not enough to be a righteous soldier! ”
As he spoke, Tianqi commanded: "All of them will be shot, and like Wang Yongguang, they will be hung outside the city for public display, and the hungry wild dogs will be allowed to eat their flesh and bones." ”
"Your Majesty!"
Ding Qirui shouted at this time, and said: "Your Majesty is actually a holy candle, and the minister does not dare to deceive, and the minister is ashamed of His Majesty and Sheji, but since ancient times, the male lord has not been lenient to the scholars, and even does not pursue it, and avoids the restlessness of the world!" Before my sister-in-law Mao Yujian went to Guanzhong, the ministers had conspired with him, if His Majesty wanted to punish us and other gentry today! That sister-in-law will be slaughtered and plundered in Guanzhong! Your Majesty can not be benevolent to your ministers, do you really want to make the massacre of the city in Guanzhong happen because of your lack of kindness to your ministers, so that hundreds of thousands of people will be ruined and killed by Your Majesty's cruelty?! ”
Tianqi's heart trembled after hearing this.
Although he said that he disdained to be a tyrant and a dumb king, he was actually softer in his heart than anyone else.
If hundreds of thousands of people really died because of his cruelty to these gentry who defected to the enemy today, he would indeed not be able to do it.
Therefore, after hearing this, Tianqi was grabbed by this Ding Qirui by seven inches, so he couldn't help gritting his teeth and said, "How dare you threaten me like this?!" ”
Ding Qirui sneered: "Why don't you dare to do it?!" Your Majesty really let hundreds of thousands of ordinary people accompany the funeral of his ministers? ”
"You guys!"
Tianqi angrily pointed at Ding Qirui and said, "Are you still human?!" Are they still Han Chinese?! Are you still worthy of being called a reader?! ”
Ding Qirui saw that the apocalypse was so out of shape, and he was quite proud in his heart: "Hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, it's just a number, after killing, there will be again, like weeds, why care!" If Your Majesty doesn't care about being a tyrant, why should you care about the life and death of these untouchables? Could it be that Your Majesty really wants to forgive your ministers because of them? ”
"Your Majesty!"
Zhu Guozhen, a university scholar, and Lu Xiangsheng, the left attendant of the military department, couldn't help but stand up and shout at this time.
Although they now feel that it is despicable for Ding Qirui and others to threaten His Majesty with the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, as civil servants with a conscience, they really do not want Your Majesty to lead Mao Yujian to lead troops to slaughter the city in Guanzhong because of the execution of these gentry who defected to the enemy.
The middle and lower-level officers and soldiers of the Praetorian Guard Battalion also looked at the Apocalypse with burning eyes, because they were all newly educated officers and soldiers, and they all had a sense of responsibility to share the king's worries and protect the peace of the people, if the emperor did not care about the life and death of hundreds of thousands of people at this time, it would naturally affect their sense of reverence for the emperor of the Apocalypse.
At this time, Zhang Gui stood up: "Your Majesty! Chen Mao Yujian is in Qishui Town, not far from here, at this time, and the minister asks His Majesty to announce his visit! ”

After hearing this, Ding Qirui reluctantly looked at Zhang Gui: "What do you mean?" Didn't Mao Yujian, as the prime minister of the five provinces on his rebel side, lead tens of thousands of rebels to conquer the city in Guanzhong? ”
Apocalypse also looked back at Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui replied: "Your Highness! Wang Yongguang is fake, but it doesn't mean that the rebels are not really detailed! If he wasn't one of ours and could escape in a donkey cart, could it be that Your Majesty really thought that he was as good as Song Taizong's driving skills? ”
