Chapter 469: Hundred-legged Insect, Dead but Not Stiff!
With Zhu Gaoxian pushing the window, a cold air suddenly poured into the hall, which made several cabinet scholars also shocked.
Listening to the meaning of His Majesty's words, it is obvious that he is extremely dissatisfied with the Kong family, could it be ......
Yang Shiqi groaned and spoke, speaking very slowly:
"Your Majesty, judging from the current news, there are indeed people who don't know the grace of heaven, but if you use this to directly attack the Kong family, I'm afraid it's not very appropriate......"
"Oh?"
Zhu Gaoxian turned his head and looked at him deeply:
"What is Yang Qing's opinion? Speak up and let me hear it. ”
Yang Shiqi was looked at by Zhu Gaoxian, and his heart was suddenly shocked, knowing that this was the most critical time, and if he was careless, he would lose his sacred heart and bring disaster to himself, so he immediately said without hesitation:
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that now since it is those families who secretly hide weapons and plot against them, then it will be directly done by the officials and soldiers of the imperial court!"
"Copying out the evidence of their rebellion and making it public, so that their true colors can be completely exposed, and the people of the world can also understand how much crime they have committed."
"As for the Kong family, you might as well deal with it later, or even hold it high and take it lightly, and then try to figure it out in the future, you don't have to be in a hurry all of a sudden, but you can get twice the result with half the effort, Your Majesty."
Seeing that Zhu Gaoxian was silent, Yang Rong on the side finally spoke:
"Your Majesty, what Master Yang said is not unreasonable."
"To replace the big with the small, if you want to hurry, it is not enough, first tie its hands and feet, and then do it to the Kong family is not a clear way, now the situation is stable, and it can indeed be slowly planned."
"However," he turned to Yang Shiqi with a solemn expression:
"On this matter, the minister has a different opinion."
"Now that the Kong family is jumping up and down, colluding with these big families in the north, it is true that they ignore the emperor's grace and ignore the overall situation, they must not be prevented, and they must also be dealt with strictly to set an example, and these people must not be allowed to take the opportunity to make waves."
"Take the Kong family first, even if the means are appropriately relaxed, it can also deter these big clans in the Northland very well......"
Zhu Gaoxian narrowed his eyes and listened to the speeches of several cabinet scholars, and his thoughts turned sharply.
After a long time, after several people finished speaking one after another, and the hall was quiet, he slowly spoke:
"Ladies and gentlemen, you are all my confidants, and I might as well tell you plainly today."
"This Kong family, I will never let them go easily!"
"And these few clans who secretly collude and want to rebel, I will definitely destroy them all!"
"I'm going to have a lot of things to do, I'm going to be busy, and I'm going to spend a lot of energy, so I don't have time to play any more games with these people!"
As soon as Zhu Gaoxian said this, all the people present immediately felt the cold to the bone.
"I have made up my mind, and I ordered the Fengzi Battalion to continue to increase its efforts, blocking all the communication arteries between the four provinces of Beizhili, focusing on the messengers and manpower of Jiang, Qi, Yu and other families, and completely cutting off the communication between them and the Kong family."
"Immediately send someone to Yanzhou, and inform the Yanzhou prefect of my meaning clearly, so that he can make a decision quickly and suppress the Kong family!"
"As for Qufu Zhixian," Zhu Gaoxian showed a sneer on his face:
"It is said that he has a very close relationship with the Kong family, and he doesn't know how much money and benefits he has received on weekdays, so I will ask Jinyiwei to send someone over, take him down directly, and go to prison to reflect on it!"
"Order the military department, let them prepare for counterinsurgency, the five military battalions must guard the Beijing division, not trespass, first transfer troops from Yongping and Jinzhou, and go to Baoding, Jizhou, Zhending, and Hejian to sort out the past."
"I know that some people have secretly hoarded armaments, grain and grass, and have built a lot of Wu forts, and it is ridiculous to want to use them to fight against the imperial court!"
"I want to see who dares to come out this time!"
……
The Son of Heaven is angry, and the blood is drifting!
With Zhu Gaoxian's several orders, the Ming cabinet, the six ministries, and the armies in various places quickly began to act.
And all this, some people see it in their eyes and are terrified, while some people are not aware of it at all and still go their own way.
Since the last time they gathered in the Daimyo Mansion to discuss, the heads of the Jiang, Yu, Qi, Li, Cui and other families have also begun to act in secret.
Although they knew that Zhu Gaoxian, the new emperor, was very good at marching and fighting, they always felt that now that the imperial court has no money and no food, everything is waiting to be done, what else can be used to drive the army?
If it is about the strength of the officials, these big families have been deeply involved in the north for dozens of generations, and they have already become one with the local officials through various interests, which can be said to be inseparable.
Since ancient times, the imperial power did not go to the countryside, and the affairs of the countryside were all decided by them, the big families, as long as Zhu Gaoxian was stumbling hard in terms of taxes, money and grain, the court and the people would naturally be in chaos at that time, no matter how Zhu Gaoxian could lead the troops to fight, he could only find a way to appease them.
And then, everything will be easy!
These family heads thought optimistically, even if Zhu Gaoxian could really send three battalions out to quell the chaos, they had already made all kinds of preparations, could it really be that those Wu forts and militia were fake?
Besides, behind them, there is the full support of the Confucian Family Beizong!
Why be afraid?
It was precisely with this thought in mind that when they learned that Zhu Gaoxian had really sent troops to start purging from the north from county to county, they were stunned and felt unbelievable.
"This, this dog emperor, could it be that he is crazy!"
The Daimyo's Mansion, these heads of the family gathered together again, some were angry, some were scolding, and some were panicked.
Because just the day before yesterday, the officers and troops went out in all directions, blocked all the roads and bayonets between the four provinces of Beizhili, and strictly checked the people of several of them.
At the same time, the imperial court began to order the reprimand of officials in Baoding, Hejian, and Cangzhou, and a large number of Jinyi guards continued to set out from Beijing to carry out various arrests.
Many of their families' messengers and family members have been captured by the officers and soldiers, caravans and goods have also been seized, and the officials who had befriended them in the past have been arrested and imprisoned one by one......
This precarious situation suddenly made several family heads feel deep anger and uneasiness.
"Something is wrong!"
The head of the Jiang family gritted his teeth with a fierce expression:
"This dog emperor, it seems that he is really going to break the net and attack us!"
"He didn't want to think about it, how stable our family's power in the Northland was? He made such a brazen move, and he was not afraid of being knocked to the ground by us! ”
Hundred-legged insects, dead but not stiff, although there have been four or five states and counties that have begun to cut with them, and various family property and property have been confiscated by the imperial court, but their true strength has not yet been revealed! (End of chapter)
