Chapter 179: Wei Zhongxian's merits and demerits, Zhu Youxiao is determined to rectify the gentry!

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, the expressions of the people around him were quite exciting.

I felt that the emperor was a little crazy before, but now he is really crazy.

What kind of people are there outside, tens of thousands of people suddenly appeared, and when their identities were unclear, Your Majesty actually asked us to open the city gate to welcome Sejong and Wuzong into the Forbidden City...... Crazy, really crazy.

Seeing that the surrounding ministers, including Wei Zhongxian, were stunned, Zhu Youxiao frowned, and immediately scolded: "What are you doing in a daze, go do it!" Could it be that I, the emperor, can't command you?! ”

Wei Zhongxian's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and then he knelt on the ground with a thud, and persuaded Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, no, the soldiers and horses outside the city are unknown, the top priority now is to wait for the reaction of the three major battalions, if it is confirmed that it is safe, you can toss it as much as you want, if it is a rebel army outside the imperial city, then long live the lord, you ...... You ......"

In the entire Ming Dynasty, the last person who wanted Zhu Youxiao to die was Wei Zhongxian.

If Zhu Youxiao died, then Wei Zhongxian could basically be said to have fallen into hell in one step.

Wei Zhongxian didn't want Zhu Youxiao to be in a little danger, so he would kowtow earnestly now.

The power of the eunuchs comes from the emperor.

The eunuchs of the Tang Dynasty have long disappeared in the Ming Dynasty, and once Zhu Youxiao dies, then Wei Zhongxian will be easily manipulated like a dead dog.

Even, Wei Zhongxian even had the idea of imprisoning His Majesty the Emperor in front of him and holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes.

However, this idea was quickly vetoed by Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian was able to leap from a sloppy person to a eunuch with a master of ceremonies and a pen above 10,000 people, relying on resourcefulness and some luck.

Holding the Son of Heaven hostage to order the princes will only make him lose his position as the leader of the eunuch party, and at the same time, he will be more likely to be counterattacked by other parties.

After all, his power comes from the emperor, and without the emperor, he is nothing.

In history, after Emperor Chongzhen Zhu Youzhen ascended the throne, he didn't have much effort at all, only an edict, and Wei Zhongxian, the great eunuch who was in power in the Tianqi Dynasty, stepped down lonely and finally committed suicide...... It may have been suicidal.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Wei Zhongxian's expression, but soon, he heard a sound of footsteps outside.

"From the school, I and the emperor's brother sincerely come to help, why don't you close the door?"

At the same time as the footsteps came, a young voice was also heard.

Although they had only met once, Zhu Youxiao also recognized that this was the voice of Emperor Wuzong.

"Don't Xiao descendant Zhu Youxiao, meet the ancestors of Shizong and Wuzong!"

Zhu Youxiao was respectful, and even knelt down directly in this bright hall, bowing three times and bowing nine times.

And he is very particular about what he says.

Sejong Zhu Houxi, a relative of Zhu Youxiao, is a pro-high grandfather.

And Wuzong Zhu Houzhao is only Uncle Gao, so he is naturally ranked behind Zhu Houxi.

And with Zhu Houzhao's hearty voice, Zhu Houxi and Zhu Houzhao entered the hall.

Zhu Houxi glanced at the palace twice, but there was no difference, and it was no different from his own, and then said: "Who is Wei Zhongxian?" ”

When Wei Zhongxian heard this, although he hadn't seen who the person in front of him was, he still made an abrupt 'grunt' in his heart, which seemed particularly 'grunt', and then immediately knelt down and said: "Slave Wei Zhongxian, meet Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!" ”

Although he hadn't seen the person in front of him, through Zhu Youxiao's title, and the kind of ...... he felt The invisibleness of his sense of power made him guess the identity of the person in front of him.

Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty!

And there is no doubt that the man behind him who looks smiling lightly, but is full of heroic momentum, is naturally Emperor Zhengde!

Wei Zhongxian was now in a state of confusion, he never expected that what His Majesty said was all true, and Emperor Wuzong and Emperor Shizong really came.

What's going on, is this, Your Majesty has asked God?

Even if you invite God, you have to invite Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, why did you invite Emperor Sejong and Emperor Jeongdeok?

It's not that Wei Zhongxian belittled these two emperors, but because in Wei Zhongxian's impression, Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu are the heavens of the Ming Dynasty.

Even if you invite God, you should invite the most powerful one, right?

And Wei Zhongxian's careful thinking is a bit heavy, but the ministers of the eunuch party behind him are even more ghostly.

After all, Wei Zhongxian and the other chamberlains had been foretold by Zhu Youxiao before, although they felt ridiculous at the time, but now that they see the main master, they have a faint feeling of acceptability.

These eunuch ministers, one by one, did not know what was going on, and before the emperor could finish reprimanding them, they saw His Majesty the emperor bow down to the two new emperors, and call them 'ancestors'.

People are stupid.

On the other side, Zhu Houzhao saw this situation, couldn't help but smile lightly, and then stood by and watched, clasped his hands on his chest, leaned on the pillars of the main hall, whistled, and said to Zhu Houxi: "Brother Huang, these are your descendants, I'll leave it to you, I will take a look at it from the side, and unify the army by the way...... After you finish talking to that Wei Zhongxian, remember to send him here, I want to see the current situation in Liaodong. ”

The battle maniac is not interested in anything else, he only cares about the situation in Liaodong and how to stuff Huang Taiji's head in his ass next.

Nothing else, nothing else.

Relatively innocent.

When Zhu Houxi heard this, he smiled lightly, and then looked at Wei Zhongxian with cold eyes, which made this eunuch who was proficient in scheming tremble in an instant.

He felt......

There seemed to be an extremely strong momentum condensing in front of him, which made Wei Zhongxian sweat profusely.

And at this moment, Zhu Youxiao suddenly said respectfully: "Grandpa Gao, this person is my personal eunuch, he is quite smart and clever in his work, and he has contributed a lot to me in the court, I don't know you are like this...... But what's the matter? ”

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Youxiao's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

"Wei Zhongxian."

Zhu Houxi suddenly pronounced this name, and instantly made Wei Zhongxian's heart put down again.

At this moment, he seemed to have returned to the past, back to the time when he was beaten in the street after losing in the casino, and asked him to pay back the money, and in despair, he shouted the words 'enter the palace as a eunuch to pay back'.

"The Donglin Party is certainly not good, but the Eunuch Party is by no means loyal."

Zhu Houxi shook his head, although those Donglin parties are indeed hateful, but the eunuch party is not a good thing: "Wei Zhongxian has merit and has had it." ”

In this era of worse than rotten, just because this piece of shit is thicker doesn't mean it's not shit.

Where is Wei Zhongxian's credit?

It's that he can really collect taxes.

Wei Zhongxian came from a humble background, although his personal personality was retributive, cruel and tyrannical, but he also clearly knew that he could not collect money from the people at all, so Wei Zhongxian's target was concentrated among those gentry, and he made commercial taxes and sea taxes, greedy some, collected some, and then paid military salaries.

During the Apocalypse, Zhejiang's annual tea tax was 200,000 taels.

During the Chongzhen period, the tea tax was twenty-four taels.

These are indeed the credit of Wei Zhongxian.

But after he attacked the gentry, the gentry transferred the money to the peasants......

And Wei Zhongxian's knife is only against the Donglin Party, and his eunuch party still bullies men and women, embezzles and accepts bribes.

It's not a white lotus, it's just for their own selfish desires.

Even if the eunuch party overthrows the Donglin party in the end, the Ming Dynasty will still weaken, but the difference is who is in power...... Maybe it will perish a few years later.

However, Zhu Houxi doesn't expect a eunuch to be perfect, after all, if he can really do it, then he will not be in such a historical position, but will become the savior of the Ming Dynasty, and it is not bad to be able to do this.

This is also the reason why Zhu Houxi did not draw a knife on the spot and hacked Wei Zhongxian to death.

And his words are to give Wei Zhongxian a wake-up call and let him deal with the problems in the eunuch party!

And Wei Zhongxian is obviously also a smart person.

"Please rest assured, your Majesty, we and other courtiers should be honest and honest......"

Wei Zhongxian trembled, kowtowed to Zhu Houxi, his forehead had been broken, and a trace of blood overflowed.

"Okay, let's go to Emperor Zhengde and tell me about the situation in Liaodong."

Zhu Houxi waved his hand and sent Wei Zhongxian away.

And Wei Zhongxian was also like a leopard that had lost its claws, and he retreated cautiously and walked towards His Majesty the other emperor.

And Zhu Youxiao wanted to speak several times on the side, but in the end he didn't speak.

Seeing this, Zhu Houxi sighed.

Although Wei Zhongxian is greedy for money, he is also an understanding person, and knows that if the ship of the Ming Dynasty sinks, the people of the Donglin Party will just change the emperor, and he is a eunuch, so he can only rely on Zhu Youxiao.

There are constant evaluations about Wei Zhongxian on the Internet, but in Zhu Houxi's view, even if Wei Zhongxian does not die, he will not be able to save the Ming Dynasty.

In the Ming Dynasty, unless it was a divine soldier like himself, or the descendants of the surname Zhu started from the end of the micro and followed the example of Emperor Guangwu to restore the country, it is absolutely impossible to dry the wood in spring.

Looking at Zhu Youxiao's fiery eyes, Zhu Houxi suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, I brought you a few small gifts when I came." ”

"Huh?"

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he couldn't help but feel shocked, and then his face was full of anticipation: "Sejong, you are too polite, what kind of gifts do you bring with you on a trip, it really makes the juniors embarrassed." ”

Although he said so, Zhu Youxiao was still looking forward to it.

After all, Zhu Houxi is the leader of the group, and after joining the group for so long, there must be a lot of good things, right?

When Zhu Youxiao was rubbing his hands excitedly, he saw Zhu Houxi clapping his hands, and Lu Bo, the bearded general from the Jiajing Dynasty, immediately escorted several people into the hall.

Zhu Youxiao: ?

Zhu Youxiao's face was full of consternation.

What's the situation?

After looking closely, Zhu Youxiao found that he still knew all these people.

Qian Longxi, Lai Zongdao, Yang Xiu......

No, aren't they all members of the Donglin Party, they all seem to be quite honest, they don't make much trouble, what are they doing here?

This is my gift?

Zhu Youxiao was a little stunned, but soon, Lu Bo on the side saluted and said: "Your Majesty, it has been tried, a few of them have installed a cook in Huofu's house, and secretly poisoned the 'Linglu Drink' every day, intending to poison the Emperor of the Apocalypse. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Bo hesitated for a moment, and then said again: "On the way to rebel, I happened to collide with our army, and the whole army was captured...... At the same time, the rebels in the three battalions have also been pacified, and only four of our troops have been wounded. ”

Strictly speaking, three people, because one of them was running too fast to notice the dark road while chasing the rebels, and stepped on empty feet.

And after hearing Lu Bo's words, Zhu Youxiao's face turned black all of a sudden.

This group of Donglin Party, who looked scared like quails, really had the courage to poison themselves!

The cause of his death is so simple, it was actually done by these inconspicuous characters in the Donglin Party?!

Although among them, there are many second-grade and third-grade officials, but in the Donglin Party, they belong to younger brothers, so Zhu Youxiao didn't take them seriously at all when he attacked the Donglin Party.

And among the eunuchs kneeling over there, Huo Weihua couldn't help but shudder, and his heart was extremely desperate.

It's over, and there is a spy in his house.

And the one who poisoned the emperor turned out to be Linglu drink......

Huo Weihua's heart was like ashes, and he was already thinking about where his three clans would be buried.

And the expression on Zhu Youxiao's face now is very exciting.

Some people are angry to the extreme, and they will not make a big noise, like Emperor Chongzhen, who is unkempt, but forced the anger in his heart, looking at Qian Longxi, Lai Zongdao, Yang Suoxiu and others, they don't want to say anything, and directly exhale deeply: "Destroy the three clans!" ”

"Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty spare your life, Your Majesty!"

"The minister is coerced, it's all the fault of the surname Qian, it's all his problem, Your Majesty!"

"Coward! Death is death, I, the Donglin Party, will definitely be able to live for a hundred years, and Zhu Youxiao, a child and his eunuchs, will inevitably serve as a model for the faint monarch and leave a stench for thousands of years!! ”

“……”

With a roar, several of the traitors were dragged down.

And Zhu Youxiao also seemed to have lost all his strength, barely supporting the dragon chair and not letting himself fall.

But at the moment, he felt that his body was soft.

Seeing this, Zhu Houxi gently patted Zhu Youxiao's shoulder: "It's okay, I'm here, I'll strengthen your waist and courage!" ”

After that, the majestic aura passed from Zhu Houxi's palm towards Zhu Youxiao's body, and a wandering force began to remove the toxins from the previous period, making Zhu Youxiao's body gradually improve.

And Zhu Youxiao seemed to have enjoyed the top massage at the moment, and he couldn't help but feel refreshed, and even moaned after a while.

Seeing that the toxins were almost cleaned up, Zhu Houxi withdrew his hand, indifferently crossed Zhu Youxiao, and sat on the chair that belonged to the Ninth Five-Year Honor.

"Emperor Sejong, what should I do now?"

Zhu Youxiao was a little violent at the moment, and after a long time, he saluted respectfully to Zhu Houxi: "Please ancestor, teach me how to save the Ming Dynasty." ”

Hearing Zhu Youxiao's inquiry, Zhu Houxi smiled lightly: "The decline of the Ming Dynasty does not lie in the annexation of one monarch and one minister, but in the fact that the people have no way to live. ”

Hearing these words, Zhu Youxiao fell into deep thought.

He felt that Emperor Sejong was talking nonsense, and he knew about it.

But what if there is a deep meaning?

Zhu Youxiao continued to think about it, and felt that it was absolutely impossible for Emperor Sejong to put the problem on the surface.

And soon, a booklet appeared out of thin air in Zhu Houxi's palm, and then said: "Just follow this copy, this is the simplest and rude method." ”

This booklet is a list of the families that were copied before the Chongzhen Dynasty.

Although some people have not yet made a fortune, it does not affect the second copy.

Directly kill all the gentry in one go.

Daming has a new look, simple and rude.

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but respectfully take down the booklet, and then turned the first page.

But I saw that there was only one family on the first page.

"Qufu Kong family?"

It's not that I don't want to add more, my family, it's really tenosynovitis, and my fingers hurt.

But I've been resting about the same lately, only the little finger of my left hand still hurts, but I guess I've been fine lately.

As I said before, now I owe 4 more, make up for it, double it, and be eight more.

Wait for tenosynovitis recovery will be added.

It's not a disease made up out of thin air, I had a recurrence when I was writing History Meow, and those who have read my previous books should know that I have this disease......

Finally, I recommend the book "The Natural Empire of Ocean Wurm"

It tells the story and accident of the elemental dragon, the ocean wurm druid, planting trees, farming, building towns, opening trade routes, and cultivating outstanding talents in a fantasy world.
