"Bold! You blind bitch, this is Master Wei's mansion, how could a thief like you Qiu Ba break into it!"
In front of the official residence, looking at the imperial guards rushing in, the servants in front of the Wei Mansion were holding armor and yelling loudly.
As the saying goes, there are three officials in front of the prime minister. Although the Ming Dynasty has not had a prime minister since the Hongwu Dynasty, the prime minister is not absent, but appeared in a different way. The chief minister of the cabinet is equivalent to the prime minister.
As a servant of the Wei Mansion, it is natural that he is honored. The officials who come to ask Mr. Wei for help usually have to be humble when they see him. These Jin Yiwei thieves Qiu Ba actually dare to break into the Wei Mansion. They are really brave. Go against him!
As he spoke, four or five servants armed with swords and armor appeared in the Wei Mansion. They were blocking the door, looking warily at the Jinyi guards coming up.
At this moment, an arrow shot out in an instant. The arrow was so sharp that it hit the face of the servant who had spoken before. Blood spurted out and he screamed again and again!
When Yu Dayou, who was standing behind Zhu Houcong, saw an arrow hit, he immediately drew back his bow and stood respectfully behind Zhu Houcong, as if he had never drawn his bow just now.
Upon seeing this, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, Wang Guoxing, pointed his embroidered spring knife in his hand, and immediately took out an imperial edict and announced in public: "The Emperor is destined to be blessed by heaven. The edict says: Wei Zaode, a scholar in Dongge University, has betrayed the country and sought glory. He has taken bribes and committed blasphemy. I am tired of not abiding by my ministers, and I have exhausted all the bamboos in the Nanshan Mountains, and my sins are not exhausted; I have conquered the waves of the East China Sea, and the evil is endless. I am pained to the bone, and my anger cannot be calmed down. I want to confer a family seat, confiscate the family's assets, and spare my descendants from death by being sent to the army. , You are so beautiful!"
As the imperial edict was read out, the servants wearing armor were instantly at a loss and dropped their weapons in surrender.
And the guards in Jinyi, who were like wolves and tigers, also entered the mansion one after another.
As soon as he entered, some officials who didn't know what was going on came forward to stop him, but they had no choice but to be knocked to the ground.
There were screams in the Wei Mansion, and the scene was chaotic.
"Mr. Wei Ge."
Zhu Youjian stood next to Zhu Houcong, looking at the busy Wei Mansion, sneered, and said: "Your Wei Mansion doesn't seem to be as poor as you said."
Wei Zaode was surrounded by the Jinyi guards of the Jiajing Dynasty and came to Zhu Youjian. After hearing Zhu Youjian's words, Wei Zaode was sweating profusely. He was only in his forties and his hands and feet instantly became inoperable. He kowtowed tremblingly: "I deserve to die, I deserve death! Your Majesty, have mercy, have mercy!"
Hearing Wei Zaode's words, Zhu Houcong on the side couldn't help laughing contemptuously. He looked at the scrawny children watching the excitement quietly on the street not far away. He couldn't help but feel a burst of heartache, and then said to Zhu Youjian: "Look there."
Zhu Youjian followed Zhu Houcong's gaze and saw groups of beggars-like children carefully watching the scene here. There was some curiosity in his eyes, but more fear and anticipation.
"Can you see the shape of hope in these children's eyes?"
Zhu Houcong opened his mouth to speak. Zhu Youjian hesitated for a moment. Before he could speak, he saw Zhu Houcong opened his mouth again: "But the cultivators have fields, the residents have houses, and they have four dishes and one soup for every meal? They are the hope of the Ming Dynasty, not These ungrateful beasts in the court are doing nothing."
"Even the capital of the Ming Dynasty is like this. How many lives are still in ruins and how many people are hungry in the world?! These are all due to your dereliction of duty as the emperor!"
Hearing Zhu Houcong's scolding, Zhu Youjian lowered his head in shame: "I am guilty, and there is no way..."
"Don't do this to me. Sinner's edict cannot be solved by issuing an imperial edict. Emperor Wu still has a strategy to deal with the situation after he sins!"
Zhu Youjian was even more ashamed and speechless.
The surrounding Jinyi guards of the Chongzhen Dynasty quietly looked at the young emperor who was scolding Zhu Youjian. They felt that Emperor Sejong was wise and powerful, and he was as different from what was written in the history books!
Zhu Youjian clenched his fists, took a deep breath, and solemnly bowed to Zhu Houxuan: "Emperor Shizong, please rest assured, I will definitely change my past mistakes and sweep away the corrupt situation in the Ming Dynasty!"
Zhu Houcong nodded and continued: "Yes, I will ask Yang Tinghe and Yang Shen and his son to come over to assist you in handling government affairs."
Zhu Youjian was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly said: "Thank you, Grandpa Shizong! With Yang and his son here, I finally have arms I can trust!"
Seeing this, Zhu Houcong couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
You see, if we send someone to evade him, he will still have to thank us.
However, Wei Zaode, who was kneeling on the ground, and the officials accompanying him felt creepy and their whole bodies were cold.
In the past, they were convinced that Chongzhen could not do without them. If they all left, the two capitals and thirteen provinces of the Ming Dynasty would be at a standstill for some time.
But now, the literati of the Chongzhen Dynasty don’t want to be officials?
It doesn't matter, there were many lonely scholars and demoted civil servants in the Jiajing, Yongle and Hongwu dynasties who wanted to come over and take charge!
But they are still a little scared.
They couldn't even think of it.
this……
Why did Emperor Jiajing, who should have died seventy or eighty years ago, suddenly appear here!
Ming Dynasty, is it really God's favor? When it is about to die, will the ancestors of Ming Dynasty come to turn the tide? !
"Your Majesty, I tell you that a secret room was discovered in the east wing. There are 170,000 taels of silver hidden in the secret room, as well as valuable calligraphy and paintings, agate gemstones, and several ancient books! I am stupid because of my humble position, so I had to estimate the price. It is estimated to be 300,000 yuan!"
"Your Majesty, you have searched the study of Wei Shoufu and found 1,700 acres of land deeds in the south of the Yangtze River. There are also three sets of land deeds for other courtyards and several slave books. There are also records of transactions with wealthy merchants in the south of the Yangtze River and Shanxi, and Mr. Wei's own handwriting. It’s written...downgrade.”
Listening to Jin Yiwei's report, Zhu Youjian's anger can be said to be superimposed, and he laughed when he was extremely angry.
One hundred and seventy thousand taels of silver, some precious calligraphy and paintings!
Taken together, the total value is estimated to be five hundred thousand taels!
There are countless cases of corruption, bending the law, and taking bribes! Just like this, when the Ming Dynasty was in danger, you only used five hundred taels to raise donations, and you said that this is all your wealth?
Moreover, it was he who initiated the donation from officials!
Shameless, shameless!
After hearing the personally written lowering of the list, Zhu Youjian became even more furious.
But his ancestor was by his side, so he had to suppress his anger and said in a deep voice: "Give me that surrender watch!"
Wang Guoxing had no choice but to step forward and hand over Wei Zaode's surrender form.
"Wei Zaode, who is not yet a bachelor and a great scholar of Dongge University in the Pseudo-Ming Dynasty, kowtows to the Emperor Dashun and pays his respects... Emperor Zhu Ming is fatuous and incompetent, like a Jie dog howling in the sun. He will be destroyed by the Master of Dashun. We, the people of Beijing, should eat from the pot." I'm here to welcome Master Wang... I sincerely wish His Majesty the Emperor Dashun a long life, and may the Dashun kingdom be forever solid!"
Looking at the content in front of him, Zhu Youjian's hands were trembling, and he could no longer hold the watch.
"Wei Zaode, even if I'm sorry to everyone in the world, how can I ever be sorry to you?! You've only been in the imperial examination for four years, but you've already become a very popular minister! Now like this, like this..."
Wei Zaode's face was ashen and he could only kowtow repeatedly: "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death."
Zhu Youjian was so angry that his whole body was trembling. He stretched out his hand, took off the embroidered spring knife that Wang Guoxing was wearing, and came to Wei Zaode step by step.
Wei Zaode bowed his head to the ground, not knowing what to do.
Zhu Youjian walked up step by step and swung his long knife directly. The knife hit Wei Zaode's neck with a "Peng" sound. Only a "Puff" sound was heard, and the blade got stuck on the bone!
After all, Emperor Chongzhen had never been on the battlefield and thought beheading was very simple. He was stuck here for a while, which caused great consternation and a burst of severe pain and struggle from Wei Zaode.
When Zhu Youcong saw this, he didn't hesitate at all. He directly drew his sword and slashed hard at Wei Zaode from Zhu Youjian's side. Wei Zaode's head flew up instantly and hit the front of the Wei Mansion with a bang. Blood was everywhere. splash!
The blade drinks blood!
Although Zhu Youjian issued countless decrees and killed countless people in his life.
But this is the first time to actually do it.
The anger in his heart made him forget the bloody scene. After casting a grateful look at Zhu Houcong, he then said: "I will order all the descendants of Wei Zaode to join the army. When the intruder comes, I will make all the descendants of Wei Zaode go to the city wall." , Fill in the ravines!”
"Open the Granary of the Wei Mansion. Although I am incompetent, I will let the people in the city have a full meal today! All the silver from the Wei Mansion will be sent to the capital camp!"
Having said that, Zhu Youjian, who was stained with blood on his imperial robe, did not wait for the surrounding mountains to shout long live, then looked at Luo Yangxing who was hiding among the ministers behind him, and couldn't help but sneered: "The next family, let's go to Luo Yangxing and Luo Aiqing's house!"
