Zhu Youxiao knew that the existence of the so-called Holy Mother was inevitable in human society.
Such people really love to the extreme. Even if the other person is really a heinous person, they may choose to forgive them.
In Zhu Youxiao's view, Wu Yiyan was probably this kind of person, who actually spoke up for the Japanese, and even ordered himself to blame for the affairs of Nagasaki and Kyoto, and even brought out Taizu to suppress him.
Zhu Youxiao looked at other officials in Edo: "You think so too?"
Lu Jinyun, a fellow governor of Edo, came over and said: "Your Majesty, I don't think so. I think this should be the land of our Ming Dynasty. Taizu was only wise in his time, but it doesn't mean that his decisions are all wise." That’s right, any edict must be timely. Now the edict that is timely is that the world should be unified, and everything that the sun and moon shine on should be our Han Dynasty!"
Before the emperor came, Lu Jinyun might have had to obey Wu Yiyan, the prefect, in order not to offend Wu Yiyan and his backers, but this did not mean that he was as ignorant as Wu Yiyan and dared to speak like this in front of the emperor.
Like Lu Jinyun, Edo General Magistrate Ma Maoting wiped the sweat from his head and hurriedly came over to express his position: "Your Majesty, calm down! I don't think so. The Japanese have always been barbaric and murderous, just like beasts, and they are not worthy of being counted at all." Human beings should not be treated as human beings! The violent acts committed by the Japanese in our dynasty are clear evidence! Especially during the Shimiao period. Now, Your Majesty, on behalf of heaven, has destroyed the Japanese and made them kings. The Japanese should be treated as kings. Gratitude is the key. How can you have any delusions? If you have any delusions, you should punish them!"
After saying that, Ma Maoting continued: "Wu Fuyin is pedantic and arrogant. He only knows the Taizu's decree but not His Majesty's wisdom. It can be said that he has failed His Majesty's entrustment to govern a place! In addition, he only knows some basic principles. The Japanese, who only have animalistic thoughts, have great love and pity; but they have no sympathy for the Han people who were harmed by the Japanese!"
"It can be seen that there is no nation or country in his heart!"
"I wish I could eat his flesh and sleep on his skin!"
"It's just that before His Majesty came here, I took into account the overall situation of Edo and was in a low-level position, so I couldn't resist him, so I tolerated him until now!"
"But I have already written a memorial to impeach him, and I wanted to hand it to the emperor when the time is right in the future. Now that His Majesty is here in person, I should hand it over."
As he spoke, Ma Maoting took out the memorial he had prepared from his sleeve and handed it to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao asked Du Yinxi to take it and give it to him, and started to look at it.
Here, Ma Maoting glanced at Wu Yiyan, who was still quite calm.
After he came to Edo to serve as an official, he really did not understand Wu Yiyan's behavior of treating the old and young of the Japanese aristocracy, and his behavior of being more sympathetic to the Japanese. He was even very dissatisfied, so he was already ready to sue Wu Yiyan. .
After all, not all Han officials are like Wu Yiyan, who has read and put aside the interests of the country and the nation and only cares about the world.
Next, almost all of these Han officials stood up and expressed their disapproval of Wu Yiyan's behavior, and some even spoke fiercely.
But Wu Yiyan was not angry, and remained calm, saying: "I know that under the influence of Your Majesty, the Han people have become the most powerful people in the world. Once they violate the interests of the Han people, they will not end well, even if they all What I did was a righteous act, but this does not prevent me from adhering to my determination to be righteous!"
As Wu Yiyan spoke, he looked at Zhu Youxiao with contempt: "Your Majesty, you can cut your ministers into pieces with thousands of swords, but you did go against Taizu's order, and you did turn the Ming Dynasty into something that Taizu did not want. Ming Dynasty! Even if you turn your ministers into flesh, you can't erase the sins you have committed. Even if no one knows about your sins in the future, you have indeed committed them."
"Wu Yiyan! You are crazy!"
At this time, Du Yinxi couldn't help shouting loudly, and then he cupped his hands to Zhu Youxiao and said: "Your Majesty, I believe that Wu Yiyan should be mentally disturbed and should be looked at by a medical officer, because normal people would not be like this!"
Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "I think he is very normal! With people like him, he is very normal."
Then, Zhu Youxiao looked at Wu Yiyan and said: "Wu Yiyan, I know that no one can make you submissive to a gentleman like you. However, I have no intention of convincing you, but you don't want to convince me either! No matter what In your eyes, whether some of my actions are heinous crimes or not, I have to do them, and if I don’t think they are crimes in my heart, they are not. Whether you think they are sins or not, it has nothing to do with me.”
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he suddenly gave a serious order: "Pass the decree and immediately order the Imperial Guard Battalion and the local officers and soldiers to block the city. Lu Jinyun will be temporarily in charge of the governor's affairs, and Ma Maoting will be in charge of the same governor temporarily. All houses with slogans in the city will be ordered." Don’t leave a single person alive, kill them all! Then, use fire to extinguish them all!”
The people present were stunned for a while.
None of them expected that the emperor would suddenly issue such a strict decree.
Du Yinxi reacted first. He understood that the emperor had no choice but to do this, so he said first: "I will draw up the decree now!"
Lu Jinyun, Ma Maoting and other officials saw that Du Yinxi, the highest-ranking civil servant here, had first expressed his willingness to carry out this matter for His Majesty the Emperor, so they followed suit and said: "I obey the order!"
Only Wu Yiyan looked at Zhu Youxiao with disappointment and sadness: "Your Majesty, you, you are."
Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "You can sympathize with them and even insult me for their cruelty and immorality! But if I want to kill them, you can't stop me."
"No! Your Majesty, you can't do this. You really can't do this! I know that although you are cruel, you are not faint."
"They are all innocent people. They post these things. Although some of them do this voluntarily because the wealthy families in the city are dissatisfied with the Ming Dynasty for destroying their country, many of them are forced to do so, Your Majesty!"
Wu Yiyan didn't seem to listen to Zhu Youxiao's words that he couldn't stop it, but he still actively stopped it.
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "I do this just because I am not faint. I am kind and do not command troops. It is the same when I am an emperor. How can I be kind and soft-hearted! If you want to be righteous, you can do something for your righteousness to hate your relatives. It's a quick thing, but I don't want this kind of kindness."
"Your Majesty, I kneel down to you, I kowtow to you, I beg you to forgive them!"
Wu Yiyan actually knelt down and quickly kowtowed to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to pay attention to Wu Yiyan, and turned around to return to the train.
But at this time, Wu Yiyan hugged him directly: "Your Majesty! If you don't let them go, I won't let you go!"
When Du Yinxi saw this, he shouted: "Wu Yiyan! You are so presumptuous! You are simply a scoundrel! You only know how to force His Majesty to let go of those Japanese who are unwilling to submit or have no bloody insensitivity, but you don't know that the culprit of all this is It’s you!”
"If you hadn't allowed them to put up the post at this time, and asked Your Majesty to issue an edict for their sins, and even brought out Taizu to suppress Your Majesty, how could Your Majesty bother with a bunch of ant-like Japanese because of a pedantic like you? ! A true gentleman should know how to balance yin and yang to prevent your majesty from doing such a thing again! Do you think that by forcing your majesty to issue an edict to sin against yourself and become a benevolent king, everyone in the world will be benevolent!"
When Du Yinxi reprimanded Wu Yiyan so excitedly, Zhu Youxiao did not stop him and let him finish what he wanted to say.
After Zhu Youxiao heard this, he was quite satisfied and thought to himself: "After all, the world is awake, my beloved, and you know better than these holy mothers. It is no wonder that in history, he was the first one who was willing to join forces with the peasant uprisings to deal with the Tartars." It is indeed a pity that scholar-bureaucrats were just civil servants in history."
"Am I the culprit?"
Wu Yiyan murmured to himself after hearing this.
After Du Yinxi's reminder, he realized that all these tragedies were due to the existence of people like him, and because he asked everyone to be benevolent and righteous, he made everyone fake benevolence and righteousness?
Wu Yiyan was heartbroken.
Only then did Zhu Youxiao order: "Put Wu Yiyan on death row temporarily. Since he feels that I have violated Taizu's law and violated Taizu's decree that Japan cannot be conquered, let him go and file a complaint to Taizu." Come on! By the way, let him also inform Taizu about what I did in Edo today. I don’t mind, Taizu knows that his descendants are cruel and immoral tyrants!"
"His Majesty!"
Wu Yiyan suddenly shouted.
Then, Wu Yiyan said: "Can you please stop saying these willful words! I don't mean to belittle your greatness! I also know that you are not the emperor who only wants to enjoy yourself, but these Japanese are also human beings. You can't just love the Han people." , don’t love them! You are the master of the world, how can you treat the people of the world differently because of their different nationalities!”
"I am just the emperor of the Han family!"
Zhu Youxiao replied.
Wu Yiyan was stunned for a moment, kowtowed again and said: "I still ask your Majesty to forgive those Japanese people, otherwise, I will have sinned too much!"
Zhu Youxiao ignored Wu Yiyan and got into the car directly.
Wu Yiyan still shouted out of the car with no mercy: "Your Majesty, what exactly do you want me to do before you let them go?"
Zhu Youxiao called Du Yinxi over at this time and said: "Go and tell him, just tell me what I say. He is a benevolent and righteous man. Like a Bodhisattva, he loves everyone in the world. I am not as great as him, so how dare I If you ask him, the most you can do is destroy him physically, which will not fulfill his benevolence and righteousness! In addition, let him forgive me. Neither I nor most people in this world can be as saintly as him. This world has let him down."
Du Yinxi got out of the car and conveyed Zhu Youxiao's words to Wu Yiyan.
After hearing this, Wu Yiyan glanced at Du Yinxi, the sergeant who was holding him up, and the dense forest of imperial guards outside. Seeing that these people were motionless, standing around indifferently, like ruthless machines, he couldn't help but feel even more Despair: "Why, why, why are you so indifferent to atrocities? Don't you have any right or wrong?!"
"They are not indifferent to the atrocities, nor are they indifferent to right and wrong, but the Japanese are not worthy."
Du Yinxi replied for everyone present.
"Yes, the Japanese are not worthy!"
Qiao Keke also replied.
Wu Yiyan smiled bitterly: "The Japanese have done a lot of things that were sorry for the Han people, but those are just the things of individual Japanese people. How can they be blamed on all Japanese people?"
Then, Wu Yiyan asked loudly: "Why don't you choose to let go of your hatred?!"
"Can't let it go! Letting it go means sorry for the victims! Letting it go means forgetting and condoning the enemy."
Du Yinxi replied.
Wu Yiyan asked again: "How can we brutally retaliate against the living for the sake of the dead? How can we be lenient to the innocent? How can it be considered as connivance to the enemy! Why not treat them with courtesy first, and then use war when chaos breaks out?" Stop it?"
"They are innocent today, but they may be perpetrators tomorrow. There will never be a time for peaceful coexistence in this world. There are still discords, let alone different races? Struggles between different races are inevitable. A civilized benevolence can only It exists within this civilization, but between different civilizations, it is just the jungle of the jungle! What you are doing now is preventing the world from becoming one civilization and blocking the great road!"
Du Yinxi replied.
After hearing this, Wu Yiyan was like thunder: "If you don't break it, you won't stand it?"
Du Yinxi nodded.
Wu Yiyan replied after a long time: "I deserve to die!"
Next, Wu Yiyan was taken down by the sergeant and then put on death row.
Zhu Youxiao, on the other hand, was only resting on his special train for the time being, preparing to watch his army carry out his will in Edo City.
…
"Edo Castle has been sealed, and a large number of sergeants have arrived. They seem to be going on a killing spree again. What should we do?"
Masakazu Inaba, the queen of the Japanese nobles who stayed in Edo, hurriedly came to Yanagisawa Yoshida's mansion, which was also the queen of the Japanese nobles, and talked with the old and young of the Japanese shogunate nobles about the events outside the city.
"Where's Mr. Wu?"
A Japanese named Makino Chengta asked.
Inaba Masakazu first replied: "He was caught by the tyrant of the Ming Dynasty! He was put on death row! The reason was naturally that he spoke for us."
"What! I have to save Mr. Wu!"
Makino Narita said something at this time.
"Yes, we need to save Mr. Wu."
"Mr. Wu cannot be allowed to be in trouble because of this."
Other Japanese people also responded.
"Mr. Wu is great."
At this time, Yanagisawa Yoshida also said something, and said: "If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be able to express our dissatisfaction in this way of posting and revealing posts as we do now!"
"That's right! Now, a large number of Ming troops have appeared. You can guess the reason without asking. It's just that we have offended the tyrant and are about to be bloodbathed! But our country has been overthrown, so what if our families are all dead! Only the despicable are willing to live an ignoble existence. We would rather die standing than be broken into pieces!"
Makino Narita said something.
"Yes, I would rather break it into pieces!"
Tokugawa Mitsusada, who had been sitting silently in the chief position because he belonged to the Tokugawa family of the shogunate, also replied at this time, and raised his arms and shouted: "Tamasha!"
"Jade broken!"
"Jade broken!"
"Jade broken!"
…
The other Japanese nobles shouted excitedly.
"Now the Ming Emperor is on the train outside Edo City. Let's rush out of the city and kill the dog emperor!"
Tokugawa Mitsusada continued to call.
"Okay! Instead of waiting for the Ming people to come and kill us, we might as well take the initiative to attack! Die on the way to charge!"
Makino Narita also echoed.
"Then gather all the warriors from all families and kill the dog emperor!"
Yanagisawa Yoshida also said.
So, next, the Japanese nobles in these cities began to gather warriors from various families, preparing to attack the place where the Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao was by breaking jade into pieces.
In the mansions of these Japanese nobles, the nobles and warriors had all wrapped their heads in white cloth and put on traditional Japanese costumes. They all rushed out together as if they were on fire, waiting for the signal bomb to sound.
