Chapter 145: There are still people who died with me, and there are still loyal ministers in the Ming Dynasty!
"Boom!" On this day, the city of Kyoto was shrouded in dark clouds, and the dark clouds above the sky were dense, and thunder flashed from time to time.
A strong wind swept through the entire city of Kyoto.
After a while, with a "click" thunder fell, followed by a rapid and dense raindrop of "click, click, click".
For a while, the ground was quickly wet, and the streets of Kyoto Castle were crowded with people fleeing.
"Stomp, stomp!" And at this time, dozens of Jinyi guards and Dongchang eunuchs, armed with long knives and firearms, shuttled through Kyoto City and Xicheng Street.
Kyoto Castle and the west side belong to the official residences.
Among them, the home of Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, is here, and at this time, in the courtyard of the deep house of the Wei Mansion, Wei Zaode is sitting comfortably in the pavilion and enjoying the rain.
There was a row of maids and servants standing beside him, all of them waiting for him alone.
Some of the servants also had blank scrolls in their hands, and the servants on the side were holding inkstones the size of people's heads.
"What are you doing, this is the Wei Mansion, but the mansion of the first assistant of the dynasty......
At this moment, I heard the roar of the door suddenly!
Immediately afterwards, I heard a loud "boom", like the sound of the door being smashed open, accompanied by the screams of the servants and maids.
"What's the matter!?" Wei Zaode was also shocked by this sudden change at this time, and subconsciously sat up.
"Master, master, no!" Then I saw the butler running in covered in blood, and the butler's face was full of horror and disbelief in the heavy rain.
"Poof!" The next moment, I saw a quick knife cut horizontally through the heavy rain, and then I saw the butler's body separated on the spot.
Blood spilled in the courtyard and was quickly washed away by the rain.
Then, a strong smell of blood came from the heavy rain, and at this time, the timid maid saw this scene and was so frightened that she let out a scream on the spot.
With a scream of these words, Wei Zaode, who was stunned, finally came back to his senses!
"Jin Yiwei, East Factory!" Wei Zaode recognized the identity of the person who came immediately.
The next moment, I saw him trembling all over, and said angrily: "You, you are so bold, you dare to kill people in the old man's mansion, and you have turned the sky upside down!" ”
"Who let you come, Luo Yangxing, Wang Xinzhi, the old man wants to enter the palace, and the old man wants to complain to Your Majesty!"
"Elder Wei Ge, are you looking for our family?" Just when Wei Zaode was furious, Wang Xinzhi's shrill voice came from the depths of the rain curtain.
A group of Jinyi guards and Dongchang eunuchs retreated from both sides.
Wang Xinzhi, who was dressed in a red python suit, slowly walked forward accompanied by a little eunuch holding an umbrella.
"Wang Xinzhi!" Wei Zaode looked at Wang Xinzhi, who was so arrogant, and he was cunning and cunning, and he understood something in an instant at this moment.
A pair of pupils suddenly constricted, and said, "What do you want to do!" ”
He is not stupid, he is the head of the cabinet, and he will never dare to bring people to his mansion to kill people.
Obviously, Wang Xinzhi was ordered by God!
Wang Xinzhi looked at Wei Zaode, and a touch of pity flashed in his eyes, let your power be monstrous, Your Majesty wants you to die, it's just a matter of words.
Thinking of this, Wang Xinzhi didn't bother to talk nonsense, and said directly:
"Holy Word! Wei Zaode, a scholar of Dongge University, was greedy and bribe-taking, bullying the king, his crimes are too numerous to read, I can't bear it anymore, and today I will destroy my family! ”
"Boom!" A thunderclap suddenly exploded, and at the same time, Wei Zaode's whole body trembled.
Raid the house and exterminate the clan!? An old face full of ravines trembled violently at the moment, he never thought that Chongzhen would dare to raid his home!
Now that there are internal and external troubles, is Chongzhen crazy?
At this time, he dared to do this? Don't you know that you are the head of the cabinet?
Once they move, the other ministers will inevitably not agree.
Isn't he afraid of everyone being dismissed? Aren't you afraid that the imperial court will be completely paralyzed? Aren't you afraid of the Ming Dynasty?
"Up!" Wang Xinzhi sneered again and again, waved his hand and motioned for Jinyiwei to move, "If there is a resistant, kill on the spot!" ”
Wei Zaode's mood can be understood by Wang Xinzhi.
Because even him, at first, after seeing the list of copyists, he was stunned, full of doubts and disbelief.
It wasn't until he saw with his own eyes that His Majesty used that mysterious weapon to shoot Luo Yangxing in the head on the spot, and blood and brains splashed on his face, that he understood that the sky had changed!
Your Majesty dares to be so crazy, obviously relying on something!
This reliance has even become so strong that His Majesty does not have to worry about everyone.
"What are you doing, come, come!" Wei Zaode also recovered from the shock and began to call his guards.
After a while, more than a dozen guards surrounded him with clubs and swords.
"Kill them all." Wang Xinzhi took out a handkerchief in his hand, gently covered his mouth and nose, and spoke so lightly.
"Boom, boom!" With Wang Xin's order, he saw the brocade guard with the fire gun on his back shooting directly.
In less than a turn, all the guards fell to the ground!
Then, a group of wolf-like Jinyi guards rushed into the Wei Mansion and began to raid the house!
"Bang!" A eunuch threw Wei Zaode to the ground with a single punch.
Wei Zaode let out a miserable scream, and the whole person fell in a pool of blood, how embarrassed the whole person was.
"I want to see His Majesty, I want to see him, I want to ask him, why, why is this!!" Wei Zaode was still shouting.
However, Wang Xinzhi looked at him condescendingly, and sneered: "Wei Zaode, why did Your Majesty do this, you don't know in your heart?" ”
"Everyone is not a good person, and they all know each other's dirty things!"
"How much money do you have hidden in your house, and how did you embarrass Your Majesty when Your Majesty lowered his voice and deigned to ask you to borrow money?"
"What?" Hearing Wang Xinzhi's words, Wei Zaode trembled, and at this moment he suddenly understood in his heart, this is His Majesty's revenge!
"Looks like you get it." Wang Xinzhi sneered and said: "Don't feel wronged, everything today is caused by you!" ”
"It was you who forced Your Majesty to what he is now!"
"It's just that now that Your Majesty's thunderous wrath has come, whether you can catch it or not depends on your own creation, take it away!"
"Except for Wei Zaode, the rest of the relatives and relatives, servants and maids, all of them were executed! Punish the money, and don't be greedy for ink, or you too will die! ”
After Wang Xinzhi finished speaking, he waved his hand and turned around and left.
Behind him, the two brocade-clothed guards slipped away Wei Zaode, who was still in a stunned state, and left.
"No!" Wei Zaode came back to his senses, he didn't dare to imagine that His Majesty was really so ruthless, not only to raid his family, but also to destroy his entire clan!
"I want to see Your Majesty, I want to see him, Wang Xinzhi, you gelding, the old man will not let you go, he will not let you go!"
"Humph!" Wang Xinzhi glanced back at Wei Zaode, who was dragged away like a dead dog, with a sneer on his face.
His Majesty finally reopened the East Factory, and the first thing he did was to exterminate the family, and it was obvious that between these so-called loyal ministers, His Majesty made a choice.
After these people are eliminated, then the next thing to maintain the operation of Daming is these people, and the game of thrones has been reshuffled!
Wei Zaode and the others, not to mention that His Majesty will not give them a chance, and he will not let them live again!
On this day, the wolf-like Jinyi Wei broke into the homes of court officials, and they were all high-ranking officials and important ministers who others did not dare to look up to.
In less than a day's effort, all of them were arrested, and none of their relatives were spared, and the entire Kyoto City was full of blood!
A smell of blood wafted over the entire city of Kyoto.
However, the people did not know all this, and this heavy rain washed away the blood of all the corrupt officials and their families.
When the sky clears after the rain, it will be a bright and clear day.
The heavy rain lasted from morning to evening, and as the heavy rain disappeared, a large area of golden sunset fell in the depths of the sky. It was obviously approaching night, but it gave all the people the illusion that the sun was about to rise.
At this time, on the square outside the Fengtian Temple, there were people kneeling on the ground.
There are two people at the front,
a champion Lang, a university scholar, and the first assistant of the cabinet, Wei Zaode;
One is Emperor Chongzhen's father-in-law, Jiading Marquis Zhou Kui!
Behind these two people, there are also such as Hubu Shangshu and University Scholar Chen Yan; The celebrant eunuch Wang Dehua, behind them, there were dozens of officials, large and small.
Of course, the officials standing behind Chongzhen in the field are not nothing, these people are the last loyal ministers of Chongzhen.
Chongzhen even knew through the list given by Taizong that these people even followed him and chose to be martyred, and when he saw these loyal ministers, no one knew what kind of mood he was in at that time.
With mixed feelings, he still has loyal ministers!
Hate only hate, he failed to recognize and employ people early and find them, otherwise I am Ming, why not!
But it's not too late, after killing all the silverfish, these bursts of silverfish can make way for these people!
The first is Fan Jingwen, a scholar of Dongge University and the governor of Henan in the second year of Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty!
In the list given by Taizong, Fan Jingwen's whole family threw themselves into the well and died in the country!
The second is the head of the household, and Ni Yuanlu, a bachelor.
According to the list given by Taizong, Ni Yuanlu's family of thirteen was also martyred by hanging!
After that, it was like Li Banghua, the imperial history of the left capital, who threw himself into the water and died; Zuodu's deputy imperial Shi Bangyao committed suicide; Wang Jiayan, the right attendant of the military department, committed suicide;
Dali Temple Qing Ling Yiqu hanged himself; Wei Xuelian committed suicide;
Meng Zhaoxiang, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, threw his family into the well; Yushi Chen Liangmo's family threw himself into the well; The officials committed suicide by throwing themselves into the water; The military department Chengde hanged himself with his family;
The whole family of Wu Ganzhong committed suicide; Kim Hyun, the head of the military department, committed suicide with his family......
At this time, all these people were standing beside Chongzhen in Fengtian Palace, of course, at this time, these people were also trembling, looking at the embarrassed officials in the square outside the hall in disbelief.
Especially when they saw that Wei Zaode, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Zhou Kui, the head of the country, were also in the ranks, they looked at Chongzhen, who was wearing a dragon robe and sitting majestically on the dragon chair, and wanted to ask something several times, but in the end they all held back.
They knew that His Majesty would obviously give a perfect explanation by calling them all here today.
Of course, at the same time, they also know that the following people are finished!
"Wang Xinzhi!" After Chongzhen played with the jade wrench in his hand for a while, he spoke indifferently.
"The slave is here!" Wang Xinzhi walked quickly to the bottom, and Wang Xinzhi's heart was also shocked at this time.
Of course, he was shocked by the results of this raid!
"How much money did you get from these silverfish's homes?" Chongzhen asked in a calm tone.
"Back to Your Majesty, a total of 130 million taels of silver have been confiscated!"
"Whoop!! Hearing this, everyone was in an uproar, no one expected that there would be so much silver!
Hearing that the family had copied 130 million, Chongzhen's fists clenched subconsciously.
In the historical trend of later generations shown to him by Taizong, Li Zicheng entered Beijing to copy his house, but only copied 70 million taels of silver.
It is now the fifteenth year of Chongzhen, and the seventeenth year of the Ming Dynasty, and in two years, there are 60 million more, so in the middle two years, where did the 60 million go?
Thinking of the last foreign race entering the customs, after these people in the middle surrendered to the enemy, they also received a lot of rewards, where can Chongzhen not understand.
At this time, these people have already begun to fight the enemy!
