Chapter Ninety-Four: Corpses Everywhere!
The cold wind was howling, the sky was overcast, and Zhu Yuanzhang's cold voice sounded, which immediately made many people shiver.
Where is the cheerful atmosphere when he greeted Zhu Yuanzhang before?
Many people's legs and stomachs are weak!
After Li Shanchang heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he knelt down without saying a word, very neatly.
The dignified Korean duke, at this time in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, lost his previous self-confidence and the condescension in front of others.
Ding Bin, Xue Xiang, Li Cunyi and others didn't dare to slack off, and knelt down one after another.
For a while, none of the many officials here in the central capital dared to stand, and they fell to their knees.
Even those Fengyang folks, who still had flower drums tied around their waists and were dressed very festively, and went to greet Zhu Yuanzhang, also knelt on the ground.
"Superior, this ...... This is really the people under his command who have no eyes.
I don't know how many Highnesses have come here and offended several Highnesses, I really damn it!
It's a capital offense! ”
Even at this time, Li Shanchang still felt that Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry.
It was the people on his side who had no eyes, and somehow arrested Zhu Yuanzhang's own son and sent him to the central capital to do labor.
And being treated like this.
The rest, in his opinion, is not a big deal.
"! Bullshit! ”
Listening to Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly scolded angrily.
"Are we talking about our son?
We're talking about the middle capital!
And the eyes are not beaded? Let's see how well you guys catch it! Catch it wonderfully!
If you hadn't captured our sons in the middle capital, we wouldn't have known that you would dare to disobey the yin and the yin so much!
So cruel to our people, our people!
So far, I have been kept in the dark by the guys!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was cold and scary.
"How did we explain to you? How did you promise us?!
And what are you doing now?
Are you worthy of our trust in you?! ”
Li Shanchang was stunned when he heard this.
This...... Why is Zhu Yuanzhang really angry about this?
Immediately, in my heart, I already understood.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't get angry because of this incident, the biggest reason was because of his own side and arrested his son.
It's just that he's not easy to say directly.
So let's take the middle capital city, the experience of these people, and use the topic to play.
Zhu Yuanzhang is really still so hypocritical, and he talks about caring for the people all day long.
But in fact, the only thing he cares about the most is his son.
Of course, these are just thinking about it in the heart, but not saying it.
He hurriedly admitted his mistake and said: "Superior, the old minister is really wrong, it really shouldn't be like this."
Lao Chen didn't do exactly what you asked.
It's not that the old minister doesn't want to, it's really ...... If all of them are implemented, the cost of money and food will be too great, and the construction of the central capital city will be too slow.
Daming has only been established for a few years now, and there are places where money is used everywhere.
Lao Chen also wanted to save some money and food, and use the blade of steel to go up.
Moreover, in all dynasties, how can there be immortals in the construction of such a big project?
Even if...... Even if the old minister is already trying his best to make people do a good job, it is inevitable that there will be omissions.
There are too many people to take care of.
On the top, what the old minister said was the truth.
The old minister really did his best to help His Majesty repair the middle capital.
If there is a lie, let the old minister thunder five times! ”
"Huh!"
Facing Li Shanchang's words, Zhu Yuanzhang sneered.
"Too much money spent? Dead people in all dynasties?
Did we let you compare it to the previous one?!
What did we say to you before?
Let's say that we would rather spend more money and food to slow down the construction of the central capital, and take care of all these labors.
I want you to implement everything we have handed over!
But what about you?
You've taken everything we've said for fart!
Or five thunderbolts in the sky?
How do you say that?! ”
"Minister...... The ministers deserve to die, so that the people of the world misunderstand Your Majesty.
This is the fault of the minister.
In the future, the minister will definitely let the people of the world understand that these evil things in the middle capital city are all advocated by the minister.
It is the minister who violates the yang and the yin, and violates your explanation.
So much so that such things were done.
These things have nothing to do with you, they are all the fault of the ministers.
These things are borne by the ministers. ”
Li Shanchang knelt on the ground, and at this time he didn't defend anything, just admitted his mistake.
He knew that in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang in such an angry state, there was no need to explain at all.
The more you explain, the worse things get.
Instead, it's better to just admit everything.
As long as you have a good attitude, there will be no major problems in the future, and you will be able to get through it safely.
Of course, what is more important is your own identity and status, which is placed here.
Zhu Yuanzhang didn't dare to really embarrass himself too much.
Even if he embarrassed himself, it didn't matter.
As long as he builds the central capital by himself, Zhu Yuanzhang will move the capital over in the future.
That's okay.
For him, it was a big win.
In his opinion, Zhu Yuanzhang is just getting angry this time, and killing some people to vent his anger is enough.
As for the matter of the middle capital, it is still very stable.
I've been so attentive on my side.
The imperial court used so much manpower and material resources, spent so much money, and died so many people.
Even if Zhu Yuanzhang is dissatisfied, he must move the capital over.
Otherwise, the loss will be even greater.
For him, it was even more difficult to accept.
He knows Zhu Yuanzhang's character in these things too well.
But the only pity is that I originally thought that I could use the middle capital city to show a big face.
coaxed Zhu Yuanzhang to be happy.
Once again, he returned to Zhongshu Province to be the prime minister.
Now it seems that there is no hope at all......
"One to bear? Can you afford it!
So many people have died, so many people have died, and families have been ruined because of this, how many heads do you have, can you afford it?
It has nothing to do with me, it's all your fault Li Shanchang?
Do you think that the people of the world, the many people, you are the first person to scold when mentioning this matter?
No! It's me Zhu Yuanzhang.!
You people, all these bad things you do, will be counted on our heads by many people!! ”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became.
How could he not see that Li Shanchang was kneeling down at this time, admitting his mistakes and admitting his mistakes.
But in fact, he didn't realize the mistake he had made!
For these people who died, I still don't care!
Zhu Yuanzhang strode to the piled up straw and tore off the straw on it.
The corpse was revealed, which had long since been frozen to the point of stiffness.
These corpses are all people who have died here last night recently.
If it was in the past, there would be people arranged by the Zhongdu City every night to pull the people who died that day to the outside of the Zhongdu City to be landfilled.
But now because of the arrival of Zhu Yuanzhang, the bodies of these locked up and dead laborers were parked here and were not transported.
I saw these corpses, all of them were miserable.
The clothes were ragged, the skin was rough, and there were a lot of freeze-cracking cuts.
There are thick calluses on the hands and feet.
There are still various injuries on many bodies, which look shocking.
Most of these injuries were caused by people.
"Come on! Come! Take a look, give us a good look!
What can you afford?
What do you take for us?
It's not enough to kill your whole family!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were scarlet, and he looked at Li Shanchang and asked angrily.
The expression looked extremely intimidating.
"Come on! Look at them again! Look at them again!!
Look at what you've all become!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang strode to the side of many people in tattered clothes, yellow faces and thin muscles, and many people who were crowded together with many hardships and laborers.
Pointing at them, he looked at Li Shanchang and roared.
"It's people!
It's the people of our Ming Dynasty!
Not livestock!
It's not even the remnants of the Northern Yuan!!
How can you be treated like this?!
You tell me you're going to do it all by yourself? Can you afford it?
How many lives?!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang was emotional, and his eyes were about to burst into flames.
The anger that has been suppressed for so long, at this time, is finally unable to be suppressed anymore.
It erupted like a volcano.
The voice was filled with endless anger, the body trembled slightly, and the killing intent was permeated!
And the many officials who knelt here did not care about the filth of the ground.
They all put their heads against the cold ground, like quails!
Li Shanchang also stopped talking, he knew that the more he said at this time, the more wrong he was.
It's tantamount to adding fuel to the fire.
After Zhu Yuanzhang roared, he came to Li Shanchang in three or two steps, staring at Li Shanchang with blood-red eyes.
Raised his kick sharply and kicked Li Shanchang on the shoulder.
Li Shanchang, who was kneeling there, was directly kicked to the ground!
The person slid backwards three feet away, and hit Ding Bin, Li Cunyi and others kneeling behind, before he stopped sliding.
Zhu Yuanzhang's kick was full of anger.
Today's Zhu Yuanzhang is in the prime of life, and his body is very tough.
The emperor on the horse again.
When he followed Guo Zixing at the beginning, he personally led the troops to charge into battle and kill the people on the front line.
At this time, you can imagine how heavy this foot is!
Li Shanchang, who has always been calm, kicked and screamed.
I only felt like my shoulder had been kicked off.
Even the neck hurts.
Li Shanchang, who kicked this time, was stunned.
After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's thunderous appearance, he knew that Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely not let go of himself easily.
There will definitely be action.
But he didn't expect that he had already knelt down in public and admitted his mistake, and Zhu Yuanzhang was still so unrelenting!
Dare to beat yourself in public!
He's too much!
After following Zhu Yuanzhang before and after the saddle, he has worked hard for many years, and he has never been beaten by Zhu Yuanzhang.
At best, it's just a reprimand.
But today, just because of these despicable labors, Zhu Chongba deserves such a fuss and such a fuss?
He has already admitted his mistakes, he has already knelt down, and he behaved so humbly, giving him enough face!
But how dare he humiliate himself in public!
Where to put this dignified Korean face?!
Is there anyone who does this?!
Li Cunyi, Ding Bin, and Li You knelt on the ground and hurriedly supported Li Shanchang.
wanted to help Li Shanchang up and let him kneel again.
As a result, before he could help him up, Zhu Yuanzhang had already stepped over.
raised his big foot and kicked it again without a head and face at Li Shanchang!
Ignoring Li Shanchang's screams, he kicked four or five times in a row.
After kicking one side of Li Shanchang's face and swelling it, and kicking out his teeth immediately.
Zhu Yuanzhang bent down and held the back neck collar of Li Shanchang, who had been kicked by him, with one hand.
Dragged him forward.
"Come on! Come! Your Korean husband will take a good look at us!
Take a good look!
That's how many lives are there!
These are all my good sons of the Ming Dynasty, and my people of the Ming Dynasty!
It's because of you that they die!
Such a great sin!
Countless families have been ruined!
They did not die at the hands of the Tartars when they were there!
Our Ming Dynasty was established, and the dynasty of our Han people was established!
We drove out the Tartars and restored China, but they died at the hands of our own people!
Died in the capital city of our repair!
Look at the iniquity you have made!
They are all living people!
They are the pillars of the family!
It's someone else's son, someone else's husband, and someone else's father!
Originally, they could have survived very well!
Not to mention how good it is to live, at least it can live!
But now, they're all dead!
It is because of the existence of you who are careless about human life that they die!
These people were bullied by those Yuan Tartars when they were still there.
was persecuted by those corrupt officials and corrupt officials, squires and landlords, and lived better than death!
Now that our Ming Dynasty has been established, they have been treated like this and have such a fate!
Then let's expel the Tartars and restore China, what have we recovered?!
I knew that this was in the capital under repair, but I didn't know, and I thought it was Yuan Tartar who was back!
In this way, what is the difference between us and those Yuan Tartars?!
Are you worthy of the trust we place in you?
Worthy of the high-ranking officials you enjoy, worthy of your title of Korean duke?
Is it worthy of so many people?
Who are you worthy?!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes erupted into flames, pulled Li Shanchang's back collar, and walked forward.
Li Shanchang staggered to follow, unable to stand upright, as if dragging a dead dog!
"Take a good look at it!
Look at these people who are not in your eyes!
How long have we had a good life, and now we have forgotten about Ben?
I forgot why I got up to fight the Tartars in the first place, and why I forgot why I joined the rebels?
It's because the Tartars are cruel and unkind and don't treat us as human beings!
It's because there are so many dead people that they can't live anymore and are cornered!
If you don't fight the Tartars, you're going to die!
That's when the fight back began!
How many years have passed, and you have forgotten?
Forget what kind of life you lived in the first place?
Forgot what you said?
Won't your conscience hurt?!
Aren't you afraid that one day, these people won't be able to survive and fight back, chop off your Li Shanchang's head, and overthrow our Daming?!
Let's tell you over and over again, you must cherish the people's power and love the people!
Our Ming Dynasty repairs the capital, which is different from other dynasties!
It's better to be slower, to spend more money and food, to make the capital smaller, than to use people to death!
You promised us well, we asked so many people, and they all said that you Li Shanchang did a good job.
Listen to our words in your heart!
We also think that you, Li Shanchang, are a person who knows our thoughts, and are our old brothers, and know what to do!
But what the hell did you do?
us on your knees! ”
The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became, and his eyes were scarlet as if he could drip blood.
He dragged Li Shanchang to the pile of labored corpses covered with straw, and kicked Li Shanchang in the crook of the leg.
directly kicked Li Shanchang to his knees here.
"They are the ones you should kneel!
You should admit your mistake, and it's them! Not us! ”
Li Shanchang, who was in pain, looked at these layers of corpses piled up in front of him, and the whole person still looked a little confused.
Utterly unbelievable.
He really didn't expect that he would be treated like this by Zhu Yuanzhang today.
And the cause will actually be the people who died because of these cultivators!
He didn't look at these people at all and thought they were consumables!
These lowly mud legs are the least valuable in life.
He didn't know how many of these corpses he had seen these days, but he had never been touched.
I just feel dead and dead, and there's nothing to say.
They can die for the repair of the capital, they can die for his plan for Li Shanchang, they died well, and they died with the honor of dying!
But how could he have thought that he would be treated like this by Zhu Yuanzhang today because of these people!
The mud legs that he didn't look at in the past, at this time, they all became more than a thousand pounds.
I'm going to overwhelm him!
While being extremely confused, I still don't believe that Zhu Yuanzhang would be so angry with himself and give such a heavy hand because of these people.
felt that this was just Zhu Yuanzhang's excuse.
The real reason is that his son was arrested because of the people on his side.
I got it to serve in the middle capital city.
That's why he, Zhu Yuanzhang, was so angry and mobilized the people.
What people? What Ming people?
It's just an excuse for him Zhu Yuanzhang!
What do you mean to forget about this after all these years?
When did he forget Ben?
When he Li Shanchang first started, he wasn't these mud legs, right?
But he didn't dare to say a word of these words at this time.
After kicking Li Shanchang to his knees, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was dressed in a dragon robe, also knelt down directly in front of these corpses.
"Let's ...... Let's Zhu Yuanzhang admit my mistake to you! I can't compensate you!
We didn't expect these people to be so daring!
It's only been a few years, and these brothers who fight the world together have changed so much.
I don't treat people as human anymore.
It's against us so yang-yin.
It's all our fault......"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, shedding tears.
In the eyes of these ragged and miserable people, in the eyes of Li Shanchang, Ding Bin and others, they are completely consumables, and people who can handle them at will solemnly kowtow three times.
Li Shanchang was directly stunned.
After being stunned, he also wisely kowtowed three times with Zhu Yuanzhang.
But this one, he was very reluctant.
I don't think it's necessary at all.
When these people die, they die, but they die with useless mud legs.
As for such a big move?
Zhu Yuanzhang stood up after kowtowing to these corpses, and reached out to grab the collar on the back of Li Shanchang's neck.
Then, like a dead dog, they dragged him to the point where the dirt was so bad that the air leaked everywhere, and so many people were huddled together in front of the shack.
This time, Li Shanchang learned smartly.
There was no need for Zhu Yuanzhang to raise his foot and kick it again, he quickly followed and knelt on the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang, who had already raised his foot, still kicked him again before he withdrew his foot.
"We are Emperor Zhu Yuanzhang of the Ming Dynasty, the one who wants to repair the capital.
It's also the one who you don't know how many times you've scolded in your hearts.
Here we are!
It's a little late!
There are already so many people who have suffered so much.
We're going to pay you a lot......"
Zhu Yuanzhang stood here, looking at these tortured people, many of whom were about to be tossed and couldn't see their human appearance.
A deep bow.
Admit your mistake out loud.
"In the past, we didn't know about this, we just thought that this central capital city was just as we instructed.
I can feed you and clothe you, and I can give you some money, and if you are sick, you will have medicine to cure you......"
Who would have thought that it would become like this!
This is our fault, and we will admit it to you.
We must also give you an explanation for the affairs of the middle capital! ”
The scene was extremely quiet, and many people who were arrested to serve in labor were very excited when they looked at the scene in front of them, looking at this person who was dressed in a dragon robe, called himself Zhu Yuanzhang, and saluted them and confessed his mistakes.
I just feel that this is in a dream, full of unreality.
What did they see?
They actually met the emperor?
One of the emperor's sons has been with them for so long and has been treated the same?
The emperor also saluted them and confessed his mistakes......
This...... It's true?
However, after seeing many flaunting and powerful in the past, they couldn't afford to provoke many errands, as well as those big shots.
At this time, they all knelt on the ground, and after the scene where they didn't dare to breathe, they felt that they were not dreaming.
It's really the emperor of the Ming Dynasty who is here!
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty is willing to call the shots for them and give them this breath!
It turned out that he and the others scolded the wrong people in their hearts, not that the emperor didn't take their lives seriously.
It's the people below who are disobedient. One thing on the surface, one thing behind the scenes, don't treat them as people.
Think of the darkness of suffering that has endured these days.
Look at the kneeling in front of him, the big and small officials of the central capital.
Listen to what this dragon robe-clad man said again.
Many people were stunned and couldn't help but cry.
God knows how much they've suffered all these days!
How much despair has been experienced!
I thought that the days would continue to be so dark.
Every day is like a walking corpse, waiting for death to come.
It will be the same as those who die, and die quietly.
The corpses were discarded haphazardly.
How could I have thought that now the emperor is here!
The emperor is still willing to make decisions for them and stand on their side!
What a surprise!
Ding Bin, Xue Xiang, Li Cunyi and many other people kneeling on the ground in the rear.
At this time, I just felt that my mind was blank.
Fear to death.
Is this Hongwu Emperor really here?!
Didn't Han Gong say that he knew Emperor Hongwu very well?
Just say that the top is coming today, just going through the motions?
Didn't you say that no matter what happened, he could carry it with him?
How is this now...... Now it looks like he can't bear it??
Even the Korean duke was treated like this by the superiors, so they can be a good one.
This...... Now, I'm going to be killed by the Korean public!!
At this time, the crown prince Zhu Biao also came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
I bowed deeply to these people and apologized.
Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li, Zhu Di and Zhu Hu also followed the example of the eldest brother and saluted these people.
A few of them have been here for a while.
It is clearer how much these people have suffered......
"Boil porridge! Cook porridge for us immediately! All the pots are for us!
Boil the porridge thickly, so that everyone can eat it openly, and everyone can eat it to their heart's content!! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were red and he roared.
Here in the middle capital, a large cauldron was quickly set up, which was filled with grain and water and began to boil porridge.
And in this process, Zhu Yuanzhang took Li Shanchang and others to some places in the central capital and outside the city.
In order to welcome his arrival, the weak laborers who were hidden by Li Shanchang, Li Cunyi, Ding Bin and others were found one by one.
Every single one of them is miserable.
Every time he finds one more place, it makes Zhu Yuanzhang's face pale.
It also made the officials of the central capital city who followed him weaker their legs and stomachs.
Sixteen places where weak labor is hidden have been found!
More than 20,000 frail laborers were given to the gathered middle capital, watching them gobble up and drink gruel.
Zhu Yuanzhang, an iron-blooded emperor, couldn't help crying in public.
The world misunderstands him a lot.
I just thought that he cherished the people, and he was just talking about it.
This is not the case.
The Dengwen drum is set up outside the noon gate, so that every local person who has grievances that cannot be resolved can directly come to Tianfu City to ring the Dengwen drum and complain about the grievances.
Unlike the other dynasties, he strictly ordered anyone to stop the people from beating the drum.
It doesn't matter how big a deal he is dealing with, as long as the drum sounds, he will stop immediately and deal with this matter first.
It also allowed people to publicize this policy to all parts of the country.
Only this point, throughout the ages, how many emperors can do it?
When he was young, he saw a lot of government officials, how he went to the countryside to kill the people.
Therefore, in order to prevent these people from bullying and disturbing the people, he also asked Xu officials to go to the countryside less......
When repairing the central capital, he told Li Shanchang and others his requirements more than once......
But in the end, Li Shanchang and others made things like this.
And until now, many people still think that he is using the topic to play.
The reason for such a big anger was not because these servants were treated like this, but because several of his sons were arrested and used as laborers.
Some people are really stubborn and unreasonable!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang crying, the relevant officials of the central capital city became even weaker in their legs and stomachs.
From early in the morning to greet the emperor, until now, these people have not entered a drop of water.
At this time, I was frightened and frightened, and after a busy time, I was hungry.
Looking at those laborers, gobbling up hot porridge, many people felt that they were also hungry.
But since meeting them, Zhu Yuanzhang, who has also not eaten a drop of water, where does he have the meaning of eating?
Standing here and watching for a while, he turned to look at Li Shanchang and the others: "Is this face miserable?" It's not miserable! ”
No one dared to say anything, only lowered their heads deeply.
"But let's say, it's not bad enough! There are even worse!
Walk! Let's show you what's worse! ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said, and strode forward.
There are many elite soldiers of the pro-army Governor's Mansion, wearing armor and holding sharp blades.
wrapped around these large and small officials in the middle capital, followed Zhu Yuanzhang out of the middle capital......
……
At this time, night had fallen, the cold wind was howling, and the weather was so cold that people shivered.
Even more terrifying than the weather is the furious Zhu Yuanzhang.
The torch shines brightly, dispelling the darkness.
Many soldiers armed with hoes and shovels worked hard to dig the soil here.
When the soil was dug up, corpses appeared in front of everyone.
These corpses, not to mention the coffins, were not even wrapped in a piece of broken straw mats, so people piled them up together and buried here.
In the darkness of the night, in the face of so many corpses, some of them had begun to decompose, emitting a foul smell.
This scene is truly terrifying!
Many officials in the central capital city were trembling with fear.
But Zhu Yuanzhang looked at it without blinking, his eyes were bloodshot, and his momentum was terrifying!
The corpses in this alone are more than a thousand!
And this is not the only place to bury corpses!!
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were blood-red, and there was a monstrous anger burning in his chest!
"That's what you told me, there are a few dead and wounded in the middle capital?
That's what you told me, the middle capital is thriving?
Everyone is thanking us for our goodness.
For their high salary, thank us for Dade?
This is what you call the middle capital, and after it is built, it will definitely become the greatest capital?!
Great? It's a great fart!!
How many people have died because of the cultivation of this Zhongdu! Killed!
was ruined by the trouble!
Are you still human?!
It's our Ming Dynasty now, not the end of the Yuan Dynasty!
The emperor has changed!
Do you still want to be lawless and misbehaving like you did at the end of the Yuan Dynasty?!
Li Shanchang!
You have a high official position, and you are in charge of this matter.
Come! Come! Tell us!
Now that this is the case, what should I do?! ”
In the night, Zhu Yuanzhang's roar sounded.
Behind him, the big pit where many corpses are buried, makes people shudder!
Facing Zhu Yuanzhang's questioning, Li Shanchang knelt on the ground, his face pale.
It seems like...... It's really going to get off this time......
