As soon as Zhu Houcong finished speaking, a sense of pressure instantly shocked the nearly a thousand Donglin students present.
The student who stretched his neck and shouted, "Three hundred years for the country to support scholars" suddenly felt a great sense of fear in his heart, and his back was soaked with cold sweat.
Ever since Emperor Chongzhen came to power and eradicated the eunuchs in one fell swoop, the Donglin students have been in peace for so long that they have forgotten what kind of existence the emperor is in front of them!
In the eyes of the Donglin Party members, Jiajing was truly a fool.
But during the great ceremony of the Jiajing Dynasty, the ministers of Fuchou who shouted outside Zuo Shunmen's door, "It has been 150 years since the country has supported the country's scholars, and it is the festival of justice and sacrifice today," were directly arrested, and then the officials of fourth rank and above were suspended. Salary, officials below the fifth rank are responsible for the imperial staff.
A total of sixteen court officials were killed by the imperial staff.
Even the ministers, the Emperor Jiajing in front of him, were not merciless to kill him with his stick, let alone ordinary students like them!
I'm afraid that today, I was deceived by Jiajing, so I did the matter of confiscating the houses of Donglin Dukes!
Although the Donglin students were momentarily overwhelmed by Zhu Houcong's aura, they quickly reacted and shouted loudly: "Since Emperor Taizu Gao..."
"We're right here!"
The student didn't finish his words again. Zhu Yuanzhang walked out with a dark face and scolded: "What ancestral laws cannot be violated? Are the ancestral laws a shield for you losers?!"
The Donglin students didn't even need to speak. As soon as they stuck their butts out, Zhu Yuanzhang knew what they wanted to fart.
Ancestor system?
Zhu Yuanzhang now wanted to grab a blunderbuss and kill them all.
After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, the students were speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
All of a sudden, under the shock of Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Houcong, the students who originally wanted to say something big were stunned on the spot.
Fu Que's usual tactic is that the laws of his ancestors cannot be violated.
Now that their ancestors have come forward to speak out, what should they do?
Zhu Houcong's eyes were like a torch as he looked at the leading student. He secretly called in the Jin Yiwei and used his spiritual energy to transmit the message. The Jin Yiwei was stunned for a moment and immediately took the order and left.
After being at a loss for words, the leading student simply skipped many of the rules of the Ming Dynasty, stood up directly, and raised his voice: "It is better to guard against the people's mouth than against the river! The Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was afraid of what I wanted to say because of his own selfishness. , the emperor is fatuous and ignorant, causing chaos in the country, which is really a tragedy for the people!"
After saying that, the leader looked like he was generously serving justice, and then opened his mouth and said: "Confucius said Cheng Ren, Mencius said Qi Yi! Song Mou has been familiar with the books of sages since he was a child, and it has been thirty-eight years now. Today is coming At this point, I have already prepared to die!"
"If my blood, Song Shiyi, can awaken the heart of my great emperor, then Song will be willing to die!"
The student named Song Shiyi was obviously ready to die.
It seems that he did this not just for Fugu, not just for the Donglin Party.
But to become famous, to leave a good name in the history books.
Seeing this situation, Zhu Yuanzhang had a strong murderous intention and was about to order his surroundings to pull the student down to Ling Chi and execute him, and when he was skinned and executed, he saw Zhu Houcong said coldly: "Since you have something to say to solve the chaos in the country, then I will Let me ask you, now that the intruders have separated Shaanxi and Gansu, the western thieves have occupied Sichuan and Shu, and there are still slaves in Liaodong, what can you do to put an end to the chaos in the world?"
Song Shiyi, the leader of the students, said loudly: "This is all the business of military generals. The common people are just scholars and are not familiar with military affairs!"
"The people in the world are displaced and have no fixed place to live. Do you have any strategies to help the world and bring peace to the people?" Zhu Houcong asked again.
After hearing Zhu Houcong's words, Song Shiyi hesitated for a moment, then opened his mouth and said: "I should open up the national treasury and accept the people!"
"There is no silver in the national treasury, and all the money is due to the corruption of the Donglin princes as you call it!" Zhu Houcong sneered, "The land annexation is also collusion!"
"Absolutely impossible. All the princes in Donglin are all clean-minded. How could they commit corruption and accept bribes?!" Song Shiyi said with dignity and awe, "This is all slander, and Song will never agree with it!"
"Then how much money do you have in your home?"
Zhu Houcong snorted coldly, and then the Jin Yiwei who had escaped behind him left and returned, shouting loudly: "Song Shiyi, your incident has happened. You and Wei Zaode have a master-disciple relationship, and you and Wei Zaode embezzled disaster relief funds and military pay. The evidence is conclusive. The Jinyi Guards just went to your house to ransack your house and confiscated a total of 370,000 taels of silver. Now, on the order of Your Majesty, you will be beheaded and your head will be displayed to the public. According to the records of historians, The book will be infamy for eternity!"
Hearing Jin Yiwei's words, Song Shiyi was stunned and frightened for a moment.
He and Wei Zaode had been working together for more than a day or two. Wei Zaode lacked channels to make money, so he was Wei Zaode's white glove. However, his white glove also stole part of Wei Zaode. He thought it was perfect, but he didn't expect that this could also be found out by Jin Yiwei. !
His original plan was to die to gain a good reputation before Chongzhen ransacked his family, so that his descendants could enjoy all the glory and wealth, but he didn't expect that he would be found out so easily.
He collapsed on the ground, terrified: "Your Majesty, please..."
Before he could react, Jin Yiwei's Xiuchun knife had already cut his throat and completely decapitated his head.
This head with a face filled with fear was like a rubber ball, rolling all the way in front of the other Donglin students.
Looking at this bloody scene, the other Donglin students instantly became frightened and felt nauseated, causing a commotion.
By now, they didn't know that they were being used as a weapon, and Song Shiyi was clearly a traitor who deliberately encouraged them to come to Fuque!
And those ordinary people who were brought in to make up for their losses regretted it and felt anxious, not knowing what kind of end they would end up with.
Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy, and when he was about to order the army to behead all the Donglin students here, Zhu Houcong smiled again and said: "These students all have the heart to serve the country with fists and fists. I can't let down the hearts of the students, so I can send them all into the army." , sent to the front line of Liaodong, fought against rebellion for the country, and killed the Tatars!"
Hearing what Zhu Houcong said, Zhu Yuanzhang stopped talking, and the Donglin students present collapsed on the ground, and some even cried bitterly.
People are always responsible for their own actions.
And just after all the Donglin students were arrested and sent to the army, the gate of the imperial city was opened wide. A young man wearing the prince's brocade robes, supported by an old man, walked out of the gate and faced Zhu Houcong. He paid his respects to Zhu Yuanzhang: "Zhu Cixiang, the crown prince of the Chongzhen Dynasty, pays homage to Grandpa Taizu and Grandpa Shizong!"
Zhu Cixiang has pretty features and a little bit of ink on his eyebrows, but he is born with a good skin, but he has a feeling of being unexperienced in the world.
The old man on the side also smiled and bent down to salute Zhu Houcong and Zhu Yuanzhang: "Your Majesty Jiadingbo Zhou Kui, I pay my respects to His Majesty Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty and His Majesty Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty. I wish the Ming Dynasty to be prosperous and prosperous for all time!"
"Little doll, come here."
When Zhu Yuanzhang saw the descendants of Erlang of the Zhu family, he immediately smiled and waved to Zhu Cixiang to come over.
Zhu Cixi also rushed to Zhu Yuanzhang's side very obediently and saluted Zhu Yuanzhang again.
Zhu Houcong's eyes were focused on Zhou Kui: "Are you Zhou Kui, the head of the state of Chongzhen?"
Zhou Kui was about to reply, but unexpectedly, Zhu Houcong's next words made Zhou Kui break into a cold sweat:
"I'm curious, why didn't your home be searched when Chongzhen ransacked it?"
