"No, I didn't!"

Wang Wen hurriedly replied at this time.

Zhu Yijun continued to say to this Wang Wen: "Taizu let you not go to the countryside, didn't let you not ask about civil affairs, not to mention, I have already issued an order, officials can inspect the township to ask the people; Besides, you said that you are quiet and inactive, and you don't want to disturb the people, but why do you do nothing so that other people are at home and teasing children in the cold winter months, and the people under your jurisdiction are still opening the way for Haoyou quarrying? ”

Wang Wen was speechless for a while.

After a while, Wang Wen defended again: "The minister is just lazy, but Your Majesty, the minister really didn't accept any bribes. ”

"I see you're deliberately lazy!"

"If you are really lazy and don't want to be this official, why didn't you quit earlier? Even, you don't have to be an official in the first place. ”

"Are you as easy to deceive as a three-year-old child?!"

Zhu Yijun asked Wang Wenlai as he spoke.

Wang Wen glanced at Wang Xijue.

"Don't look at Wang Ge Lao, I know that you are Wang Ge Lao's relatives, but this doesn't mean that he Wang Ge Lao has the obligation to protect you."

Zhu Yijun said at this time.

Wang Wen cried for a while: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the minister is really just lazy and a little stupid, and he was just played by the officials below." ”

"It doesn't matter if you admit it or not, you have to bear the crime of not being executed by the new policy."

As he spoke, Zhu Yijun looked at the other Huayin County bureaucrats who were escorted with Wang Wen: "And you, you don't want to report it even though you know that the conscription has not been carried out, right?" ”

"Your Majesty!"

"The ministers don't dare to report it!"

At this time, Chen Yinghong, the county leader, replied.

Zhu Yijun smiled: "I see that you don't dare, but you don't want to, first, there is obviously a secret system, and second, those officials below can cooperate with Haoqiang to catch the people to serve, how can they not dare to get your approval first?" ”

"First behead Wang Wen, the first offender who disobeyed the order, on the spot!"

"The rest of the adjutants were first detained by the pro-military guards, and then the government first arranged for alternate officials to temporarily take over various official positions in the county."

Zhu Yijun commanded at this time.

Nowadays, there are many people waiting to be officials in the Ming Dynasty, especially after Hai Rui reformed the official system, all prefectures and above were ordered by Zhu Yijun to prepare a group of alternate local adjutants, in order to prevent the vacancies of officials below the prefecture from being filled immediately by local officials, so that when the imperial court sent officials to be the main officials, there would be no one to manage these places.

And such a Ming official system can be regarded as a combination of the two ways of earth flow.

Wang Wen and Chen Yinghong were escorted down next.

And Wang Wen was pressed on the wooden stake used for beheading.

"Your Majesty! The minister doesn't dare to be lazy, please give the minister a chance! ”

Not long after, Wang Wen was cut off by Wei Peng's neck, and a human head also fell.

Zhang Daoxian and the others happened to see this scene when they were escorted.

Therefore, as soon as Zhang Daoxian and the others saw Zhu Yijun, their legs went down and knelt in front of Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Daoxian said first: "All the mistakes are the fault of the minister, the minister's clan does not know, and please forgive your majesty!" In addition, the dog Zhang Guoyan also didn't know about it. ”

"I remember when you served as a councilor?"

Zhu Yijun said something else at this time.

Zhang Daoxian replied yes.

"Then it stands to reason that you are aware of the national policy?"

Zhu Yijun asked again.

Zhang Daoxian nodded: "Clear!" ”

"Then don't your Zhang family have no money to hire people?!"

"You have to collude with officials, disrupt national policies, and force the people to serve your Zhang family, if you don't know, you still think you are the emperor!"

"The minister's lard was blinded, forgetting the heavenly prestige, in order to save some silver, forgetting the new gift, not taking the people as people, feeling that it is nothing to let the people contribute in this winter, anyway, now their strength is inexhaustible, and the people will not be disgruntled because they were caught by the government to give more strength to the minister's ministers when they were slack, so they are bold and reckless, but they forget to think about the interests of the country and the nation, so that the people can take advantage of the leisure to consume more and learn more policies."

Syllable!

Syllable!

Zhang Daoxian gave himself a slap when he said this, and then another slap: "The minister should die, the minister really deserves to die!" ”

"You really deserve to die!"

"Who can use the power of the people? Imperial Palace! ”

"Before, only the imperial court and the government could think that the country was planning for the long-term stability and prosperity of the area under its jurisdiction, and could organize the people to contribute in their spare time, what qualifications do you have for the use of the people's power by a family, not to mention, now even the use of the people's power by the imperial court and the government has to be given to the silver hired and signed, you are good, purely let the government be your Zhang family's minions, and let the people serve your Zhang family, what is the difference between you and the government forcing your people to be slaves?"

Zhu Yijun said and asked Wang Xijue: "Elder Wang Ge, whose world do you say this world is?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, it is naturally Your Majesty's world, and it is also the world of the people of the world."

Wang Xijue replied.

Zhu Yijun said again: "Since it is my world and the world of the people of the world, what qualifications does his Zhang family have to serve the people of the world privately?!" Does he regard himself as the lord of the world and his Zhang family as the royal family of the world? ”

"Back to Your Majesty, yes, this has been complicit in the great rebellion."

Wang Xijue replied in a deep voice.

Zhang Daoxian couldn't help opening his mouth here, and then cried again: "Your Majesty, the minister really knew that he was wrong, the minister really only thought about saving money at that time, but he didn't expect it to be so deep." ”

"Don't you have the consciousness to be kind to your fellow human beings even a little?"

"Even if you give those people a copper plate a month, the nature is different!"

"In this way, I can still treat you as the fact that your Zhang family has hired them, and there is no reason not to punish you according to the conspiracy, or even dispose of you."

Zhu Yijun suddenly pretended to be sad at this time.

Zhang Daoxian burst into tears on the spot and said: "The minister also regrets it now, please give Your Majesty a chance to the minister Zhang family, let the minister Zhang family sign the employment deed to the people in the quarry, and repay the wages, in addition, the minister Zhang family is willing to sacrifice 500,000 silver dollars to atone for their sins!" ”

"It's late!"

"Even if you give every enslaved person a month's wages of ten taels or twenty taels now, it is useless."

Zhu Yijun suddenly looked serious again, and said, "Cut!" Since he also admitted that he deserved to die, let him die, and then hang his head in the county seat, so that the other big families in the city will remember! ”

"Remember, the people are easy to abuse, and the heavens are hard to bully!"

Syllable!

Zhu Yijun suddenly snorted and slapped his palm on the table.

"Yes!"

Zhang Daoxian was dragged down and pressed against a wooden stake that had just been dyed red in the snow.

Wei Peng's hand rose and fell.

A bright red human head hit the ground again.

Zhu Yijun then looked at Zhang Daoke, who was dripping water under his clothes: "Scared?" ”

Zhang Daoke nodded tremblingly: "Your Majesty spares my life, this matter has nothing to do with me, it was all done by my brother alone." ”

"Since you know that you are afraid now, why did Brother Ling do the trespassing of the people at that time, but you didn't know that you were afraid?"

Zhu Yijun continued to ask.

"Minister, minister, minister forgot to be afraid."

Zhang Daoke replied with a crying face.

Zhu Yijun sneered: "I forgot to be afraid, it seems that the impression I gave you is too gentle, and you have to deepen your fear of the emperor." ”

"Cut it too!"

"The Zhang family, men over the age of sixteen all have the sin of not being loyal to the monarch while enjoying the benefits of enslaving their compatriots, and they are unwilling to secretly accuse the master of the family to plot rebellion, and even acquiesce in the heart of the master of the family, so they are all killed!"

"Men under the age of sixteen may be regarded as not yet ignorant and incapable of distinguishing between right and wrong, but they have the benefit of being enslaved by the people, and in order to set an example, they are all exiled only to Luzon for the people;"

"The female dependents did not kill them on the grounds that they did not know the internal and external affairs of the clan and it was quite difficult to go out, but they also had the benefit of enslaving the people, and in order to set an example, they were all exiled to Luzon for the people."

Zhu Yijun then issued an order on how to deal with Zhang Daoke and the entire Zhang family.

"Your Majesty! Rao Chen's capital crime, the minister doesn't want to die, he really doesn't want to die! ”

Zhang Daoke cried bitterly because of this, and many of the other people in charge of the Zhang family also whimpered and cried.

But the power of the Son of Heaven is like thunder and lightning, how can it be easily disobeyed.

Soon, Zhang Daoke and other men in charge of the Zhang family were still beheaded.

However.

At this time, Yu Shangsi, the in-law of the Zhang family who rushed to the scene when he heard that the Zhang family was in trouble, and was also the gentleman of the former Zuo Shilang of the Criminal Department, shouted loudly outside at this time: "Yu Shangsi, the left Shilang of the former Criminal Department, asks to see Your Majesty!" ”

After hearing this, Zhu Yijun said: "Let him come!" ”

Not long after, Yu Shangsi walked in front of Zhu Yijun with a sad face and stepped on the blood porridge.

Zhu Yijun looked at Yu Shangsi, who was full of silver hair: "What does Yu Qing want to play?" ”

Yu Shangsi said: "Your Majesty, even if the people are lawless, can't they get the slightest bit of mercy, such a killing, there is a dry heaven and harmony!" ”

"They enslave the people and do not do peace?"

Zhu Yijun asked rhetorically, stood up again, looked at Yu Shangsi and said: "You gentlemen in the countryside, if you seriously preach the new rites and new policies to the people for the court, do I need to kill so many people at the foot of this Huashan today?!" ”

"If you are unwilling to let the people know about the new rites and new policies, you will force me to use God's curse! It can be seen that the cause of all this today is disloyalty and injustice, no king and no father, and forgetting their responsibilities! ”

After Zhu Yijun asked, he pointed at Yu Shangsi and said again with a calm face.

Yu Shangsi's body trembled after hearing this, knelt down, and wept: "The minister's words make the minister embarrassed!" ”

"Humph!"

"I know that I can save myself if I have no land, otherwise I will really get the favor of the court for nothing."

Zhu Yijun said and left here.

Zhu Yijun then continued to lead the pro-expeditionary army towards Xi'an.

And the news that he will go to the local place to check the people's situation on the way to the pro-journey is also spreading farther and farther in this direction.

As a result, many bureaucrats became more and more panicked.

At the same time, Li Ruhua, the governor of Shaanxi, also specially rushed to Zhu Yijun's temporary stationing to ask for a saint.

After Li Ruhua saw Zhu Yijun, he admonished Zhu Yijun: "Please Your Majesty for the sake of the eternal fortune of the emperor and the peace of the world, and stop disturbing local politics by taking advantage of the pro-conquest!" ”
