October of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen.

Zhu Youzhen took the old eunuch Wang Chengen out of the Qianqing Palace and came to the square outside.

After all, the three ancestors came with soldiers and horses, and the Qianqing Palace couldn't accommodate so many people!

In the process of waiting, Zhu Youzhen was in a good mood, and he had the illusion of being invincible.

What about the corruption of civil officials, what about the cowardice and fear of death among military generals, what about the anti-thieves occupying several provinces, what about Wu Sanguiyang's disobedience, what about the invasion of the Later Jin Tartars, and what about the imminent overthrow of the Ming Dynasty?

I joined the chat group of the Ming Emperor Alliance, and with Emperor Taizu of the Taiyi Golden Immortal Realm as the group leader and Emperor Taizong as a group friend, I was not panicked at all.

Just wait for the army to come, kill these traitors like slaughtering dogs, and everything will not be a problem at the moment.

"This"

Looking at the emperor's abnormal behavior, the officials were numb.

If you want to say that the emperor is crazy, his eyes are clear, and he doesn't look like he has lost his mind.

If you want to say that he is not crazy, he is full of Taizu Chengzu Emperor, which is simply unreasonable.

The ministers discussed it, and also followed Zhu Youzhen to the square outside the Qianqing Palace.

They want to see what tricks Chongzhen is playing!

"Humph!"

Yu Guang looked at the hundred officials who followed behind him, and Zhu Youzhen snorted coldly.

"Buzz"

At this time, the calm sky stirred and the clouds were blown away.

A colorful light fell straight down, turning into a brilliant gate of light.

"Stomp stompe."

There was a sound of shaking mountains from behind the Light Gate, followed by a white horse leaping out.

"Sigh"

The horse neighed, jumped high with its front hooves, and stopped in front of Zhu Youzhen.

The person who came was the Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty.

At this time, the Yongle Emperor was dressed in armor and held the sword of the Son of Heaven, and he was heroic and extraordinary.

"Boom"

Behind the light gate, a group of heavily armed soldiers walked out, exuding a powerful aura of slaughter.

Soon, 100,000 soldiers and horses stood neatly in the square, and there was no edge in sight.

"Boom"

Immediately afterwards, another emperor wearing a dragon robe walked out of the light gate, it was the orthodox emperor Zhu Qizhen.

Behind him, he was followed by 10,000 soldiers who were also heavily armed.

It's just that in terms of momentum, it is more than one step worse than the soldiers of the Yongle Dynasty.

"Buzz"

In the end, it was Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang who walked out of the light gate alone.

When his footsteps stepped on the square, the light gate turned into a little light and disappeared.

"Unfilial descendant Zhu Youzhen, meet Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Emperor Chengzu, and Emperor Yingzong!"

Seeing the arrival of the three ancestors, Zhu Youzhen knelt down and bowed to pay respects.

See, the one who helped me support the field came.

Ministers: "."

We must not have woken up, we were still in a dream!

However, why do we dream of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu?

Shouldn't it be a dream of the beautiful lady in the house?

It's poisonous!

This.

Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, widened his eyes even more, revealing a look of disbelief.

As the first assistant of the cabinet, he naturally admired the portrait of Emperor Taizu Chengzu.

The two people in the dragon robe in front of him looked the same as the portrait of Taizu Chengzu.

Don't

Is it really Taizu and Chengzu?

But Emperor Taizu has been dead for more than 240 years, and Chengzu has also been dead for 220 years, how can he be resurrected from the dead?

is numb, Wei Zaode's whole person is numb.

Well, it's not just him who is numb.

Zhu Gaoxu, King of Han, Zhu Gaosui, King of Zhao, Zhu Yong, Duke of Chengguo, Zhang Fu of England, and others who followed Zhu Di also showed shocked expressions.

Before setting out on the expedition, they thought they were going to fight the Tatars and raise the prestige of our Ming dynasty.

Then, His Majesty turned his hand and summoned a door of light and led them in.

looked at this familiar and unfamiliar area, as well as the stranger in the dragon robe, and the civil and military officials behind him.

Judging by the way it is dressed, it should be. Maybe maybe it's also the Ming Dynasty?

And then.

When Emperor Hongwu walked out of the Light Gate, they were even more shocked.

His Majesty Hongwu, who has been dead for more than ten years, has actually been resurrected?

What's going on?

Thanks to Zhu Qizhen, who was appointed as a general, led 10,000 soldiers and horses, and did not bring the British official Zhang Fu over.

Otherwise, when the old Zhang Fu and the young Zhang Fu meet, I am afraid that they will doubt life even more.

"Son-in-law, see father!"

"Grandson to meet Taizu and grandfather!"

Zhu Di and Zhu Qizhen also hurriedly saluted Zhu Yuanzhang.

"Grandson Gao Xu (Gao Sui) to meet the imperial grandfather!"

The King of Han and the King of Zhao also followed forward to pay their respects.

"We said it a long time ago, so we don't need to be polite in the future."

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said indifferently.

"Xie Taizu (Father)!"

The crowd stood up.

"Don't talk too much, let's do it!"

After the cold noise, Zhu Yuanzhang gave an order, and the generals Qi Dun took orders.

The soldiers were divided into two routes, and Zhu Di took 100,000 soldiers and horses from his headquarters to take over the defense of the Beijing Division.

Zhu Qizhen took his 10,000 horses and horses to raid the homes of the entire Beijing division and the mansions of hundreds of officials and wealthy businessmen.

The entire Jingshi was in disarray, but it was quickly brought under control.

The weather in October is already very cold.

In addition, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, the world encountered the Xiaoice River period, which had not been encountered for thousands of years, and the weather was even colder.

Five or six months of the year are winter, and natural disasters occur year after year.

At this time, on the square outside the Qianqing Palace, a famous soldier went in and out, moving boxes from the outside.

Four dragon chairs are placed above, lined up.

The four emperors of Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang, Chengzu Zhu Di, Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, and Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen sat on the dragon chair.

Below, the officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty trembled like quails.

"Qi Taizu, Chengzu, Yingzong, Your Majesty, raided the cabinet first assistant Wei Zaode, and obtained 200,000 taels of silver, five mansions in the capital, 12 shops, three manors outside the city, 18,000 acres of high-quality fertile land in the suburbs of Beijing, 18,000 boxes of antiques, calligraphy, paintings and jewelry, a total of 1.8 million taels of silver."

"Confiscated Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the military department, and obtained 165,000 taels of silver and 6,000 taels of gold, and there are three mansions in the name of the capital, ten shops, two manors outside the city, and 8,000 acres of high-grade fertile land, totaling 800,000 taels of silver."

"Raided the left servant of the household department, Wu Guan, a total of 520,000 taels of silver."

"Raid."

"This time, 1,273 households were raided, and a total of 61,230,000 taels of silver were seized."

As the homes of hundreds of officials, nobles and wealthy merchants were raided, more and more gold and silver were piled up in the square.

The white gold and silver, and the golden gold, were piled up into small mountains.

What is the concept of 61 million taels?

The largest fiscal revenue of the Ming Dynasty was in the 30th year of Wanli, with a total revenue of 23 million taels.

It is really scary to raid a house but it is worth the income of the Ming treasury for three years.

So much silver piled up on top of each other, it's spectacular!

For a moment, the entire palace seemed to have suddenly cooled down by twenty degrees.

The officials of the Chongzhen Dynasty standing below were all trembling with fright, and they almost fainted.

"Death penalty!"

Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, was already dead and knelt down.

"Death penalty!"

Seeing this, Zhang Jinyan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Wu Guan, the left attendant of the Ministry of Households, and other officials on the list all prostrate on the ground.

"Huh!"

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Di, and Zhu Qizhen sneered together, and the killing machine exploded!

"Yes, yes!"

Zhu Youzhen only felt that his eyes were dark, and a few words burst out from between his teeth, and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

"Youzhen, what are you going to do?"

Holding the list sent by the soldiers, Zhu Yuanzhang asked expressionlessly.

"Grandpa Tai is above, I am ready to dismiss everyone on the list, and the three clans will be dismissed."

Zhu Youzhen took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, gritted his teeth and said.

"Not enough!"

Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said coldly.

"Huh?"

Zhu Di, Zhu Qizhen and Zhu Youzhen were all stunned.

"Da Ming Law, those who embezzle sixty taels of silver, peel the skin and last the grass, in order to set an example!"

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly, and said lightly: "What are they greedy for? Didn't the Yi tribe cheapen them? ”

"If we want to deal with it, punish the nine clans, the main culprit will peel the skin and last the grass, all the men in the nine clans will be beheaded, and the women will be used as army J!"

"Set up another 'traitor monument' and 'legend of traitorous ministers', and spread it all over the world to set an example and warn future generations!"

In dealing with corrupt officials and traitors, Zhu Yuanzhang has always been stingy with means and extremely cruel!

These dog things are afraid of power but not virtue!

When dealing with them, you must not be merciful, but must be ruthless.

The literati advocated self-cultivation and Qi family to rule the country and level the world, but all they wanted was fame.

Since this is the case, then let's do the opposite, write books and biographies, and let these guys stink for 10,000 years.

"Hiss"

As soon as the words fell, the whole square was filled with the sound of inhalation.

It's so ruthless!

is worthy of Emperor Taizu Hongwu, the murderous nature is really heavy!

According to historical records, during the 31 years of the Hongwu Dynasty, six large-scale anti-corruption actions were launched, such as the Guo Huan case, the empty seal case, and the Great Decree case.

According to incomplete statistics, in the past 31 years, as many as 150,000 corrupt officials and their relatives have been killed.

"Tyrant, tyrant, you don't have a good death!"

When Wei Zaode heard this, his eyes turned red, and he stood up and scolded.

It doesn't matter if they are punished by the Nine Clans, Fang Xiaoru has set a good example for their younger generations of literati.

However, the erection of the 'Traitor Monument' and the 'Biography of the Traitor Minister' hit him exactly seven inches, and it was really taken care of.

"Presumptuous!"

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could speak, Zhu Di rushed forward with a knife.

A flash of light flashed and the tongue in his mouth was sliced off.

"Grandpa Tai is right, they should destroy their nine clans, and let them stink for 10,000 years!"

Zhu Youzhen had a pair of red eyes, his face was hideous, and he roared loudly.

"Come on, take it down."

Zhu Di gave an order, and ninety percent of the officials present were brought down, leaving only a dozen people.

The remaining dozen or so officials are all well-known loyal ministers.

According to the history of the Ming Dynasty, after the death of Chongzhen in the seventeenth year of the Ming Dynasty, they all committed suicide and martyrdom one after another.

Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University, died of hunger strike, and four days later, his family threw himself into a well and died;

There is Ni Yuanlu, a scholar and a bachelor in the household department, and all thirteen members of the family hanged themselves;

There is Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, who committed suicide by throwing himself into the water;

There is Zuodu Deputy Yu Shi Shi Bangyao who committed suicide;

Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department, committed suicide;

There is a Dali Temple Lingyi Canal hanged himself;

There is Shu Jishi Wei Xuelian who committed suicide;

Meng Zhaoxiang, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, committed suicide by throwing his family into a well;

There is a royal history Chen Liangmo, whose family committed suicide by throwing himself into a well;

Some officials committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water;

Chengde's family hanged themselves;

Wu Ganzhong's whole family committed suicide;

Kim Hyun, the head of the military department, committed suicide with his family;

Wait a minute.

In addition to these officials with names and surnames, the rest of the martyrs in the world are as high as more than 8,600 people.

They were righteous and awe-inspiring, martyred, calmly righteous, and martyred for the death of the Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty has a will, criminals Wei Zaode, Zhang Jinyan, Wu Guan. The sin is unforgivable, and the nine tribes are punished."

With Zhu Youzhen's order, tens of thousands of heads landed together at the entrance of the vegetable market, killing people's heads and bleeding like a river.

The men of the nine clans of these nobles, corrupt officials, and profiteers were all beheaded, the women were used as soldiers, and the main culprits were stripped of their skins and hung under the city gates as an example.

Not only that, but their deeds will also be engraved into stone tablets, written as traitorous ministers, warning future generations.

"Okay, now let's talk about three things."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Youzhen and said: "First, gather the soldiers and horses of the major battalions in the capital as soon as possible, choose the best ones and keep them, and abandon the inferior ones and chase them away." ”

"It just so happens that you have confiscated so many taels of silver, and those who should be repaid for military expenses will be repaid, and those who are old, weak, sick and disabled should be dismissed."

"Second, Zhang Bang Anmin, to comfort the people, we don't need to teach you this, right?"

"Third, select officials to fill vacancies."

"The Ming Dynasty has been a monk for three hundred years, and there are not many others, but there are many scholars, and there are not 100,000 but 80,000 who want to be officials."

"According to the book of Ming History we gave you, you should think about how to select officials yourself."

"Letting the right people do the right things is what a good monarch should do."

After raiding the house, the next step is to resist Li Zicheng and help Chongzhen reorganize the country.

As for the elimination of the post-Golden Tartars, that has to be put to the end.

Zhu Youzhen's biggest problem is that his suspicion is too serious.

He has been emperor for 16 years, and he has changed more than 20 cabinet chiefs.

Well done, that's what you should do;

If you don't do a good job, you're the one who takes the blame!

Nima!

When he encounters such an emperor, who wants to work for him!

The so-called suspicious people don't need to be used, and the employment is not suspicious!

If you want to do a good job as an emperor, the most important thing is to know people and make good use of them!

Put the right people in the right places, enough is enough!

"What the grandfather said is very true, and the grandson understands."

Zhu You listened and nodded heavily.

With that, he left the square and began to give orders.

Emperor Taizu had already divided what he should do next into three points and told him step by step.

If it still can't be done well, then Zhu Youzhen, the emperor, can step down.

"Speaking of which, it's no wonder that he is the previous emperors in front of him who are too unprofessional."

Seeing Zhu Youzhen leave, Zhu Yuanzhang said in a leisurely tone: "Fourth, you are the culprit!" ”

The sixteenth emperor of the Ming Dynasty, starting from the fourth Zhu Di, is more wonderful than the other.

Zhu Di is a war maniac, and the general is better than the emperor;

Renzong Zhu Gaochi loves food and is known as a food expert;

Xuanzong Zhu Zhanji is also very famous, known as the Emperor of Crickets;

Yingzong Zhu Qizhen, the god of war of the Ming Dynasty, and the international students of Wara do not need to say much;

Xianzong Zhu saw deeply, fell in love with his wet nurse, and even embarrassed the old Zhu family;

filial piety Zhu Youji, there is only one woman in his life, the queen, known as the affectionate emperor;

Wuzong Zhu Houzhao even played the leopard room out of flowers, collecting all kinds of beasts;

Sejong Zhu Houxi, who is a famous emperor of cultivating immortals, did not go to court for 22 years;

Mu Zongzhu Zaiyuan, obsessed with women, and finally died on the belly of a woman;

Shenzong Zhu Yijun, who is comparable to Jiajing, has not been in court for 20 years;

Guangzong Zhu Changluo, who was similar to his grandfather, died on a woman's belly after a month of reign;

Xizong Zhu Youxiao, the famous carpenter emperor, together with the emperor of calligraphy and painting Song Huizong Zhao Ji, can be called the emperor's Wolong and phoenix chicks;

Then there was the last Zhu Youzhen, who was diligent and diligent, but he still lost the country.

"Dad is right, it's my son's fault!"

When Zhu Di heard this, he thought of Ming Shi's evaluation of the emperors of later generations, and silently memorized this black cauldron.
