Chapter 442: Draw the sword

It was said that more than 2,000 people in Gu'an County had gathered to make a rebellion, and the rebels surrounded the county officials and even stormed Qincha's residence.

And the situation was completely out of control, and someone accidentally hit and killed the head of the county office.

This time it's terrible, the death of an official, everyone knows that they can't live at all, coupled with the accumulation of anger for days, even a timid person has to give up his life.

"Ugh."

Zhu Houzhao's character is like this, he will be angry about small things, but when big things really come to him, he will not be so angry. He was like that from his previous life.

It may be too bad for him to feel cold from head to toe, so the whole person becomes calm. As soon as you calm down, you will find that anger, fear, and worry are all helpless, and it is most important to think about how to deal with them at this time.

Of course, when this kind of thing happens, Zhu Houzhao still sighs inevitably.

"Let's talk about it, how to solve this matter?"

"Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that there is already civil unrest, and he should quickly send a large army to quell the chaos, so as not to cause the situation to become more and more out of control." The military department Shangshu Wang Yu replied.

"The chaotic people are no better than the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, and they will disperse in a hurry when they encounter a slight obstacle, which will inevitably cause trouble in other counties, and the minister suggests that His Majesty send a message to the surrounding counties, so that they can strengthen their guards and not let anyone go. After all, one county has been messed up, and the second county can't be messed up again. ”

"Wechen also thinks that when coercion, temptation, division and disintegration, these chaotic people will not be united, because their gathering is unjust, as long as there is a little temptation, they will be able to divide and attack."

……

Zhu Hou took care of what they said one by one, and couldn't help but have a sense of sadness in his heart, and said: "How to divide the farmland in the hands of the rich, you are clueless, you just heard the needles in the Qianqing Palace, and it is also difficult to say it, and it is also difficult." But you have a very good way to deal with the people. Rioters, if it's rioters...... It's also for us to rebel! ”

Pressure, containment, and provocation...... There are all kinds of means.

Sounds ironic.

The Emperor pondered for a while and said, "...... The military department will transfer the nearest guard to Gu'an County. ”

"Yes, Wechen obeys."

"Da Sima, this matter can't be delayed, you go first."

Wang Bing got up, "Yes!" ”

When he walked outside, there was still a smile flowing out of the corner of his mouth, this Li Dongyang ...... It's also self-inflicted.

In the Qianqing Palace.

Zhu Houzhao asked: "Elder Li Ge, the people of Gu'an County can rebel, what if other counties echo?" ”

"I think that in an extraordinary time, we still have to take strict precautions!"

"But didn't the sage say that the mouth of the people is more important than the defense of the river? The people have no land under their feet, no tiles on their heads, in this case, today against one county, tomorrow may be against two counties, the day after tomorrow is three counties, our monarchs and ministers will live in such a muddy way, one day, the people everywhere will rise up, so that we die without a place to bury! ”

Zhu Houzhao said until now, his tone gradually became stronger, and by this time his voice was not small, "This country is handed down by our ancestors, and it cannot be destroyed in my hands, these people are all my people, not yours, you don't love it, I love it!" ”

With that, he took two steps to the side. Then there was a 'whoosh' and drew a sword!

Wang Wei was shocked when he saw it, what is the emperor going to do?

"Your Majesty, please stop your anger! Although there is a rebellion in Gu'an County at the moment, the imperial court has sufficient grain and grass, strong soldiers and strong horses, so why worry about the disease of scabies? ! ”

The British Duke Zhang Mao looked at the emperor with some trembling hearts,

The words that were spoken to him just now were obviously dissatisfied with him.

Now that the swords have been drawn, shouldn't they really be impulsive to splash blood on the Qianqing Palace?

Zhu Houzhao glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and then stabbed forward!

Poof!

Liu Jin knelt down with a frightened face, "Your Majesty spares your life!" ”

Not bad

Zhu Houzhao slowly walked over and pointed his sword at Liu Jin's face.

The courtiers were completely confused.

"Liu Jin, you said that I am loyal and have never had two hearts."

Liu Jin hurriedly said with a crying voice: "The slave is loyal to Your Majesty, this matter is true!" Regardless of whether the people are in turmoil or not, the slaves and maids only have the sun of Your Majesty! ”

"Good!" Zhu Houzhao shouted, "Then now I order you to check the farmland occupied by the twenty-four eunuchs in the palace in Beizhili, and order them to hand over all the acres of land!" Together with my Imperial Village, return to the people! ”

Liu Jin gasped, and after listening to the emperor's words, he was stunned for a moment before he reacted, "What does Your Majesty mean......?" It's called slave maids......"

"You heard it right! That's what I mean! At this time, I want to ask you and the people in the palace if you are willing to stand with me, or are you going to stick to those deeds?! ”

The eunuchs in the palace, especially those as smart as Liu Jin, actually thought about this question very thoroughly.

As a eunuch, the emperor is willing to reward you, you have everything, and you can even be nine thousand years old, but if you are not willing to give it to you, you will not have an acre of land, and you will not even have your life.

At the beginning, Wei Bin just didn't understand this truth.

In particular, there are negative examples such as the British Duke in front, which can show his loyalty, and he is not reluctant to give up a few acres of land.

So he shouted: "The slave is only loyal to Your Majesty!" The fields occupied in the palace, the slaves and maids will go to check! Your Majesty said that the slaves and maids would not let them keep an acre! ”

"Good!" Zhu Houzhao took the sword back, "Elder Li Ge, Elder Xie Ge." ”

"Old minister...... The old minister is here. ”

"You have a will. Sent it to the prefectures and counties of Beizhili, and ordered them to organize manpower, clear the acres of fields, and distribute my Huangzhuang and Gongli Zhuangtian to the people according to the principle of equality for each household! I will order Jinyiwei to investigate everywhere, if anyone dares to occupy more acres of land in this process...... Elder Li Ge, these people, if I kill them, the world will not be shaken, right? When the people are in turmoil, they should use heavy canons, and the benevolence at this time is the benevolence of women, don't you say? ”

The final questioning was a bit of a joke.

Li Dongyang knew that he couldn't make any more extraneous branches, so he responded: "In times of crisis, you can only practice extraordinary laws, and the minister also thinks that if someone knows the law and violates the law at this time, he should also correct the law on the spot!" ”

In fact, these people are very strange in their hearts,

The emperor's words, 'You don't love them, I love them' almost beat them to the opposite side.

But even at such times, no one will come out and say: The fields occupied by officials at all levels should be inventoried by the ministers.

Moreover, so far, Zhu Houzhao has not mentioned a single word about the British duke, let alone other lords, and the bureaucrats who still occupy a large number of farmlands.

Because it is true that people can say that my land is not owned, but bought. With millions of acres of fertile land, where are so many people going to find out what is going on?

Moreover, the people who occupy the land and the people who investigate the case are fundamentally the same people, who will check themselves by themselves?

But Zhu Houzhao wants to beat all the fame of these people.

If there is a civil unrest, it will spread to everyone, and then people will know what the emperor did in this incident and what the minister did in this incident.

Compared with this, what he really wants to pay attention to is not the corrupt officials and the more than 2,000 people.

It's the field of public opinion.

Once public opinion is in the hands of others, even if you do a good thing, he will say, ah, you see, there is a civil unrest, now you know to correct it, right? Or, it was the emperor of so-and-so, so there was such a result.

In the struggle at this level, if someone crosses the line, Zhu Houzhao wants to arrest him.

But he will not arrest the British Duke for the time being, as the head of the lords, even if the family really occupies a few acres of land, the emperor will be mean and unkind if he wants to kill him.

After all, your old Zhu family sits in the world, so you won't give a mouthful of soup to these lords, right?

In contrast, he chose to create a situation in which the emperor divided the land for the people, while some other civil and military generals...... They are reluctant to give up their moral context.

He just wants to stand on that highest vantage point. Wait until the next time it comes to dividing the land, and he can ignore the rules: because all of you who dissuade me are going against the people of the world, and you are all really harming the people.

"Your Majesty!" The British prince was afraid, and this contrast also tormented him, "The minister is willing to donate a hundred acres of fertile land at home." ”

But by this time, the emperor had already gone inside, ignored them anymore, and only waved his hand, "All stand down." I'm tired. ”

"Your Majesty!!"

It was useless for him to shout, in fact, his previous words had already set his impression in the emperor's heart.

Everyone also knew that the emperor was also a little annoyed with these lords. Since I'm angry, of course I can ignore you.

Tonight's incident directly led to the suspension of the pilgrimage meeting on the second day.

At present, officials from all walks of life are in Beijing, and in the midst of the excitement, the matter quickly spread.

So there were young people in all the restaurants who were indignant,

"I really don't understand, the disadvantages of the world, where are the disadvantages?!"
