"What's the panic?" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly, "If we hadn't deliberately let him go, do you think he would be able to get by?" ”

"We'll wait for him right here."

Half an hour later, Zhou Tong, a thousand households in Jingwei, led the rebels into the valley. In Zhou Tong's camp, there was also a Confucian student rushing to the front, looking arrogant and looking at Zhu Yuanzhang coldly.

"Zhu Yuanzhang, you have already committed a heinous crime by brutalizing my Confucianism like this." The scholar shouted loudly, extremely sad and indignant, "You ruined my Chinese thousand-year-old culture, it is really a crime that cannot be punished!" ”

"You follow the example of the tyrant First Emperor of the ages to burn books and pit Confucianism, you will be like the First Emperor, and you will be stinking for thousands of years."

"Today is the day when you are punished."

"And we are the teachers of justice, and we want to exterminate you, the thousand-year-old scourge of China. Confucians, everyone stand up and slay this demon together! Lamentable! The thousand-year-old righteousness of Confucianism has been ruined by you. ”

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang only had dozens of guards around him, the scholar was extremely arrogant, thinking that the victory was in his hands: "If we kill you, we will make Zhu Biao the emperor, and the prince has been taught by Confucianism since he was a child, and he will definitely not be the same as you, an illiterate person." ”

"After the new emperor takes power, Confucianism will surely regain its vitality again."

"Make the crown prince the emperor, and I believe that your old ministers, not many people will oppose it."

"Zhou Tong, are you sure you want to rebel against the palace?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't pay attention to the scholars, but said to Zhou Tong in a surging manner, "You were also our old subordinate before, why do you dare to rebel against us today?" ”

"Your Majesty!" Zhou Tong didn't dare to look at Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes at all, and subconsciously said timidly, "The last general...... The last general had no intention of forcing the palace, but just wanted to implore the emperor to let Confucianism go. If the emperor is willing to spare Confucianism and behead Qin Yu to show the public, in order to appease the anger of Confucianism, peace can be restored to the world again. He will immediately withdraw his troops and apologize for his crimes. ”

"General Zhou, no!" As soon as the words fell, the Confucian next to him said coldly, "Zhu Yuanzhang, you must abdicate!" ”

"He was born in a peasant, he didn't read sages since he was a child, and he was not a good emperor that we Confucians could afford at all. If he doesn't study, he won't respect Confucius and Confucianism, he won't respect etiquette and law, and he is not worthy of being the king of the world. ”

"How can a farmer be worthy of being the Ninth Five-Year Honor?"

"He is a lowly peasant in his bones, and he is not the same mind as us scholars."

"Emperor, only the prince who has been educated by Confucianism since he was a child should be suitable."

"After the crown prince succeeds to the throne, he will definitely respect our Confucianism again, and then the world will be clear again." The scholar shouted, "In addition to today's purging of Confucianism, the emperor also engaged in the integration of the gentry on errands, the integration of grain, the public land system, and foreign trade, all of which are inconsistent with our Confucian philosophy, Zhu Yuanzhang's evil, not this time today!" ”

"So Zhu Yuanzhang must abdicate today."

"Let's change the world to a benevolent, righteous and moral person to be the emperor."

"Do you really want to give Confucianism a funeral?" Zhu Yuanzhang didn't put the scholar in his eyes at all, but asked Zhou Tong vigorously.

"Your Majesty, the last general has read sage books since he was a child...... The last general ......" Zhou Tong said, "Confucius is the master of the world, and the emperor treats Confucius's sage teachings like this today, and he really doesn't dare to agree with the last general." ”

"In that case, we don't bother to talk to you more." Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was cold, and he looked at the sergeant behind Zhou Tong, "Wait, do you really want to rebel against us?" ”

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, the sergeants subconsciously dodged and did not dare to look directly at him.

Everyone, you look at me, I look at you.

Suddenly, the crowd put down the weapons in their hands, and knelt down in a big way: "The emperor spares his life!" ”

Seeing this, Zhou Tong's expression froze: "You are all brothers who followed me from birth to death...... It was fine when I came......"

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression was cold, and he looked at the deputy general beside Zhou Tong again.

The adjutant general comprehended, pulled out his waist knife, and stabbed Zhou Tong in the back of the heart. Zhou Tong turned around, as if he couldn't believe the fact he saw: "Zhou Xing, you are my own brother......"

"You...... When did you become the emperor? When did the emperor give you the secret decree? ”

Zhou Xing has been by his side for the past few days, and he has no chance to contact the emperor's secret envoy.

"Big brother, I'm sorry." Zhou Xing said apologetically, "How can we, ordinary people, be the emperor's opponents?" Actually, from the beginning, I was against you doing this, but you were too stubborn......"

Zhou Xing is not an undercover agent of the emperor, let alone a brocade guard lurking beside Zhou Tong.

The emperor did not give him any secret decrees.

He did it completely spontaneously.

Zhu Yuanzhang's country was brought down by him with a knife and a shot. His prestige in the army surpassed that of any emperor and famous general in history. In the hearts of many generals and sergeants, Emperor Zhu is a god!

Real knives and real guns have laid down the Ming Dynasty.

There are clear rewards and punishments for governing the army, and the treatment of the black sheep in the army is extremely ruthless.

Therefore, all the soldiers and generals under him not only respect him, but also fear him.

Awe like never before.

One look from him can make the rebels lay down their weapons one after another.

One more look can make Zhou Tong's own brother defect.

The arrogant scholar just now was instantly dumbfounded when he saw this, he underestimated the emperor's prestige in the army. He collapsed to the ground, his legs limped, his whole body trembled, and a foul smell filled the air.

"Your Majesty, what should you do with this person?" Zhou Xingdao.

"Zhu Jiu Clan, Ling Chi will be executed!" Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly and waved his hand. The 10,000 elite musket troops who were ambushed on the mountain put down the magic machine muskets. If Zhou Xing hadn't defected, their group would have been wiped out in a single stick of incense.

"Thinking that you can rein in the precipice in time, Zhou Tong is dead, and for the sake of being born and dying with us before, we will not be held responsible." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a surging voice, "Take your people back, and you will take over Zhou Tong's position as a thousand households." ”

"Thank you for the emperor's grace of not sinning." Zhou Xing knelt down and thanked him, extremely glad in his heart, if he hadn't defected, not only would it be impossible to succeed in the rebellion, but the Zhou family would be finished.

The emperor is a beggar, how can ordinary people be his opponents?

Moreover, when they were soldiers under the emperor before, they saw the emperor's strong leadership and command ability. Almost anticipating the enemy like a god, there has never been a mistake in controlling the overall situation of the battlefield.

The emperor's abilities are not comparable to ordinary people.

Their little tricks are like a child's trick in front of the emperor.

"Dog thing!" Zhou Xing slapped the scholar hard, "My eldest brother has no rebellious confidence, and he can make such a rebellious act this time, all because he was bewitched by you." ”

"You Confucian students, you are really the culprit."
