As the situation has become like this, Cao Zideng now really regrets it, regretting that he has come to this point step by step.

At first, he just couldn't help but accept the bribe of Zhu Shenyuan, the king of Qing, and helped the king of Qing to conceal the abuse of the Qing clan by the king of Qing, and later because he saw that Ningxia Hulu had an increasing numerical advantage over the Han people and his ambition was inflated to oppose the new policy of the imperial court and attracted him to rebel together, because he was afraid of death and also disgusted with the new policy, he half-pushed and half-pushed and colluded with Bibai to rebel.

He thought it could really be done, but he didn't expect that a flower horse pond in the world would drown him and Bi Bai's Jing Nan plan, and then the camel city tactics could not beat Li Rusong, and later, he learned that Ma Gui defeated the Mongolian army such as the Li Rabbit who ambushed him.

This made Cao Zideng very disheartened.

And because of this, he knew that he might not have indulged his greed, otherwise, he would not have lost his mind because of greed, and then underestimated the strength of the imperial court, and made mistakes step by step to the present.

You know, if he didn't have these things, the next step should be to be promoted to governor or directly promoted to Beijing as a squire, and then to Shangshu.

In addition to regretting it, Cao Zideng also added some complaints to Bibai, complaining that Bibai's ambition was inflated, which caused him to be dragged into the water, so his attitude towards Bibai was no longer as good as before.

Anyway, now even if Bibai kills him, it is so-called, after all, his ending is no better than being killed by Bibai.

After Cao Zideng said this, Bibai was not angry, only poured a sip of tea, let the tea juice flow on the stubble, and said to Cao Zideng: "Then what do you say?" ”

After asking.

Bibai added: "What's the use of blaming me for this now, just with the things we did for King Qing at the beginning, even if we don't fight back, it's a death, when you killed the clan for King Qing, why didn't you say it was wrong?" ”

Cao Zideng was dumbfounded, only put his hand in his sleeve, stood aside and sulked, and after a while, he said:

"For today's plan, we can only retreat west from Helan Mountain, take away all the Han people in the city, and I would rather bring fewer Hu people and take away the Han people, there is a place where Yarkand can farm, as long as there is a place to farm, you can build a city, and you don't need to herd sheep and horses."

Although Bi Bai is a general, he has long been accustomed to the life of a landlord, and he does not want to live the days of migration again, and now when he heard Cao Zideng say this, he nodded and said: "This can only be the case." ”

Just when Bibai and Cao Zideng were discussing preparations to withdraw from Helan Mountain, Zhu Yijun had already begun to send a large army north to pursue the rebels.

However, Zhu Yijun himself did not personally lead the army north, but only sat in Xi'an, and ordered the Qin Palace's palace to be changed to Xi'an Palace, and asked Zhu Suqin, the king of Zhou, who followed Hu, to relieve the poor clan on his behalf, and reissue the poor clan of the Qin clan with a supplementary payment, hire people to repair the house for him, build a school, and educate the young children in the clan.

And on this day, when looking at the poor clan that was sent to the Qin Mansion by Zhu Suqin, Zhu Yijun couldn't help but say to Zhu Suqin:

"Emperor Taizu Gao has always valued family affection, if he knew that some of his descendants would be worse than ordinary people in the dynasty he established, and he didn't know what his mood was, the key is that some of his descendants became like this, and it happened to be another group of his descendants, all saying that we Han people like to be cruel to our own people, and we are no exception in our royal family!"

"If it weren't for Hu Lai, the prince of the Qin Domain, who didn't treat the low-level clans below him as people, why wouldn't these clans have yet enjoyed my grace of relaxing the restrictions of the clan."

"Your Majesty said yes."

"The minister just came into contact with the poor clan and learned that Zhu Yiluo also sold the children of the clan as slaves and maids of large households, mainly by asking people to pretend that these young children were the children of commoner parents, so to speak, in order to make a profit, he actually stretched out his hand to the children in his own room, and his ruthlessness and unrighteousness reached the point of cutting off his children and grandchildren in order to make a fortune, which is simply outrageous!"

King Zhou echoed at this time.

Zhu Yijun sank his face after hearing this: "Like those corrupt officials and inferior gentry who abuse the people and harm the people, they can be described as a raccoon dog!" only knows how to oppress one's own people, and squeeze them to death, even those who are related to oneself by blood; And if we don't change this pattern of taking profits only knowing the internal profits, this situation will only always exist, so we must change this model! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

King Zhou replied.

Zhu Yijun instructed at this time: "Give them a supplementary payment, and by the way, save all the clans that were sold as slaves and maids under the assumption of being the children of commoner parents, and give them some silver dollars as the cost of re-settling down." ”

"Although the buyer does not know the inside story, he will be punished by the court for the crime of buying and selling his own population without authorization."

"Yes!"

Not much.

King Zhou brought some of the clan's disciples who had been working in the Zongren Mansion out, came to these poor clans, and asked Zheng Fan Zhu Zaiyi, who was responsible for registering the relevant information for these poor clans: "Have they all been registered?" ”

"Registered."

Zhu Zaiyi replied.

After hearing this, King Zhou nodded, and said, "Then let's start reissuing it." ”

Zhu Zaiyi said yes.

For a while, these impoverished clans of the Qin clan began to line up to receive the cotton clothes, shoes and socks given by Yulu and the Zongren Mansion.

Thereinto.

Zhu Cuncai, the lieutenant of Fengguo, who queued up to receive the Yulu and cotton clothes, choked on the spot and said, "If it weren't for Your Majesty coming, I'm afraid I would never have received the Yulu." ”

"Cry if you want to."

"As Your Majesty said, your own family doesn't treat your own family as a human being, how can you expect others to make decisions for you?"

"Remember, you're on your own later."

King Zhou walked over at this time, patted Zhu Cuncai's shoulder and said a few words.

For a while, many clans began to whimper and weep.

"Your Majesty!"

At this time, Zhu Yijun also came.

Zhu Zaiyi shouted first.

King Zhou also looked back.

Zhu Cuncai and the other poor clans didn't cry anymore, and looked at Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Cuncai himself even knelt down directly: "Thank you, Your Majesty!" If it weren't for Your Majesty, I'm afraid the minister would still be begging. ”

"Your Majesty, thank you!"

"And the minister, the minister also thanks Your Majesty!"

For a while, many impoverished clans knelt down.

Zhu Yijun, who couldn't help but also wanted to come down from the attic to see these people, saw this and hurriedly stretched out his hand and raised it upward: "Don't kneel, stand up, according to the system, this is the money that belongs to you, if you want to thank you, thank you for the new gift, it is the new gift that fills the treasury, so that your money can be reissued in time, and Zhu Yixi's purpose of raising troops is to abandon the new ceremony, so that you don't have the opportunity to be seen as a person." ”

Zhu Cuncai and the others all stood up after hearing this, and most of them also nodded, as if they were trying to understand what Zhu Yijun said.

The clans of the Ming Dynasty, like military households, medical households, and artisan households, have been bound by the system that bound them before for many years, and have also been oppressed by the beneficiaries of the system for many years, so they have become numb, and they don't know how to resist, and then they become obedient, after all, those who resist have been killed.

And now no matter what Zhu Yijun says, they can just know how to nod.

"Naturally, the Qin Domain will no longer exist, and those poor clans of the Qin Domain who have not rebelled can arrange to go to Zhongdu and Nandu will arrange to go to Zhongdu and Nandu, and the branch of the Zongren Mansion there will arrange for them to live, sleep and school."

"If you don't want to go, if you don't have any land, you will divide the farmland of the Qin Wangfu, and after dividing it, you will hand over the remaining farmland to the political secretary, so that the political secretary can subdivide the tenants and turn the tenants into yeoman farmers."

After Zhu Yijun rescued the impoverished clan in Xi'an, he gave further instructions to the king of Zhou.

King Zhou said yes.

And Zhu Yijun looked at the poor clans who had changed into new winter clothes and began to take their children or accompany their wives to leave the palace one after another, and sighed: "I don't know how many powerful clans in the world are still secretly restricting the personal freedom of their one-room clans. ”

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that you can send the young children of the clan to inspect the various clans in the world, and expose those who are still restricting the personal freedom of the clan in this room behind their backs and unwilling to cooperate with the reform of the imperial clan, instead of just relying on caress and factory guards, after all, they are not so concerned about the treatment of the clan, maybe it will be better to let some of the young people in the clan who still have a conscience, especially those who have not yet been infected with bad habits and are not afraid of things, go to inspect, maybe it will be better, at least it can have one more guarantee."

King Zhou said at this time.

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this: "This is a way, not only can you send the young children of the clan, but also send the princes when the princes of the future are all grown up." ”

"Emperor! Zhu Shenyuan has been ordered to be escorted to Xi'an Palace by the Marquis of Tieling. ”

At this time, Tian Yi came to Zhu Yijun and reported a word.

Zhu Yijun's face immediately darkened: "It's just right!" Announce him to me! ”

"Yes!"

Not long after, Zhu Shenyuan, the former king of Qing, was escorted to Zhu Yijun.

Zhu Yijun looked at him and asked, "Zhu Shenjun, why did you collude to slaughter your Qing clan?" ”

"Whoever makes them dishonest has to go out of the city to sue me!"

Zhu Shenyuan replied without shame at this time.

Zhu Yijun immediately said in a deep voice: "This is their right, you shouldn't use this as an excuse to kill them, let alone collude with captives to kill them!" ”

"Kill all of them, what else, does Your Majesty really want to kill me because of this?"

Zhu Shenyuan asked Zhu Yijun as he spoke.

Zhu Yijun pointed directly at Zhu Shenyuan and said, "Don't talk about killing you, it's not too much to kill you!" Collusion and cruelty, mutilating people from your own clan, do you take the new rite in your eyes?! ”

"I'm definitely not the only one doing this, Your Majesty, can you kill it, do you really want to destroy all the clans in the world?!"

"And if Your Majesty does this, won't you be afraid of repeating the mistakes of Emperor Jianwen?!"

"You know, now because of the new ceremony, there are already three vassal kings who are going to rebel, is Your Majesty really not afraid of forcing all the vassal kings to rebel?!"

Zhu Shenyuan asked loudly at this time, he knew that Zhu Yijun was not an emperor who didn't know what was at stake.

Of course, he didn't know how important the lives of his own people were to Zhu Yijun.
