One thing that Dongzhu Party officials like to do most is to spread their reputation.
To put it bluntly, I usually jump a lot.
It is precisely because of this that the people in the capital are familiar with these officials of the Dongzhu Party.
After all, many officials like to travel on the streets in eight-carriage sedans on weekdays. There are various servants and guards in front of them to clear the streets, and there are too many people who can't dodge to get beaten up.
As for those eunuch party officials, they are even more domineering on weekdays, often doing things such as riding horses in downtown areas and taking people's lives into consideration.
Therefore, when these officials appeared on Zhuque Street, they were immediately recognized by the people on both sides of the street.
And even if they didn't recognize their faces, there were still signs with their names stuck on the backs of these officials.
The more famous an official is, the more rotten eggs and rotten vegetables he enjoys at this time, and he is burdened by his reputation.
"Stop! I...I am going to sentence you to exile!"
"I am Sun Wei, the Grand Bachelor of the Cabinet! I am the Grand Bachelor of the Cabinet! Stop smashing it, stop smashing it!"
"I have always had a clean reputation. Why do you unscrupulous people have such hatred for me? You unscrupulous people, you unscrupulous people!"
"This means our family has lost power. Otherwise, our family will definitely kill you, the nine untouchable tribes!"
"..."
At this time, many officials were confused about the situation and yelled and cursed.
"These unruly people must have been arranged by the emperor... Otherwise, given the reputation of our Dongzhu Party among the people, the people should fight to the death to protect each other..." Zhao Weizhi, the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, murmured, feeling quite puzzled at this time.
The former Jin Yiwei commander Zheng Haoran snorted coldly and said:
"Is Mr. Zhao really so naive, or are you just pretending to be confused? The Zhao family has always been known for being harsh on tenants in this capital. Every year, dozens of tenant farmers are forced to death by the Zhao family during rent collection. There are people in the whole family who have hanged themselves, but our Jin Yiwei has found out clearly, is Mr. Zhao talking about the reputation of 'Zhao Bapi'?"
As the god-grandson of Enhai, the leader of the eunuch party, and a capable general of the eunuch party, he has always been in control of the Jinyiwei. He has done some dirty work and offended all the officials in the court. He understands that the people of the Dongzhu party are basically It was impossible to give him a good look, so he simply broke the jar and threw it away.
Zhao Weizhi said in astonishment:
"It is natural for tenant farmers to rent my family's land and pay the required amount on time! Their fields were not cultivated well and they committed suicide because of their guilt. Why should they blame this official? On weekdays, when the tenant farmers of my Zhao family see me, Which one doesn’t kowtow respectfully and call Master Qingtian?”
Zheng Haoran, wearing heavy shackles, couldn't help but say "Hey" when he heard Zhao Weizhi's words and said:
"It is said that Jin Yiwei's heart is shady and his hands are shady. Compared with Mr. Zhao, he pales into insignificance."
Zhao Weizhi angrily said:
"Zheng Haoran! You crazy guy, you still dare to speak arrogant words now! When our Dongzhu Party regains power, you will be rewarded!"
Zheng Haoran laughed, staggered forward, and retorted:
"Regaining power? The adults of the Dongzhu Party are still dreaming about that dream! Even a fool can see it now. If the emperor really wants to let you go, will he still let you parade in the streets? Dream on, later It’s time for you to wake up!”
When several Dongzhu Party officials nearby heard this, they couldn't help but become furious, and started to scold Zheng Haoran over the rotten eggs and vegetables thrown around.
Many of the remaining eunuch and rear party officials also sensed something was wrong at this time, and all of them lost control of their emotions.
On the contrary, a group of officials from the Dongzhu Party were still convinced that the emperor was just taking it out on them and would release them soon.
After they are paraded in the streets, they still have a bright future.
Soon they had reached the middle of Zhuque Street. In the middle of the street ahead, there were several rows of Jin Yiwei wearing Feiyu uniforms, hundreds of them in total.
And right in the middle of the street, two people were already kneeling there.
A group of KKK officials walked over. There were about ten people in a row. They stood next to the royal guards and faced the palace. Then they were kicked hard in the knees and they knelt on the ground in the direction of the palace.
Ahead, a military attache wearing a unicorn uniform raised his hand slightly, and the dark crowds of people on both sides of the street immediately fell silent.
By this time, even the most optimistic Dongzhu Party officials realized something was wrong.
This atmosphere is really too chilling!
"What... what are you doing!?" Zhao Weizhi tried his best to twist his body and try to stand up, but was held down by two Jin Yi guards on his shoulders and pressed there hard.
"I want to see the emperor! I...Shaolin and Wudang, the three holy places of martial arts, have sent envoys to speak for our Dongzhu Party. I want to see the envoys of these two holy places of martial arts!" He shouted loudly, ringing Entire street.
A group of Dongzhu Party officials around him also shouted loudly:
"We want to meet the envoys from the three major martial arts holy places!"
"The three major martial arts holy places have opened their eyes for us. Your Majesty must not be reckless——"
"The world's aristocratic families and the three major martial arts holy lands are our backers, how can we be so careless! We want to see the envoys of the martial arts holy lands!"
I have never eaten pork, and I have seen pigs running away.
They have been officials in the capital for a long time and have seen many execution scenes of beheadings on the streets. Many of them have even supervised the executions themselves.
As soon as I knelt down on Zhuque Street, I immediately came to my senses.
This is obviously an execution scene!
It's just that many people still can't believe it at this time. There are hundreds of officials from the three parties, basically the entire court. The Dongzhu Party is backed by aristocratic families from all over the world, and three major martial arts holy places come to lobby. How dare the emperor So bold! ?
At this moment, I saw the two people who had been kneeling here for a long time, at the head of a group of officials, turned their heads with bitter smiles on their faces.
There is a monk on the left and a Taoist priest on the right. They all look depressed, pale and despairing.
The Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said:
"Infinite Heavenly Lord... the poor Taoist Wudang Daoren... I have disappointed you all."
The monk also looked at Zhao Weizhi with a bitter look on his face and said:
"Uncle, my nephew Shaolin Shide, this situation is really... unsustainable..."
At this time, a group of Dongzhu Party officials saw clearly that the two men were in ragged clothes and covered in blood. If you look carefully, you can still see that they are wearing monks' robes and Taoist robes!
These two people turned out to be the envoys of Shaolin and Wudang!
All the officials suddenly exploded and couldn't believe their eyes.
The envoys of the three major martial arts holy places that they had placed high hopes on were kneeling here like them. Looking at them, they looked so weak that they were not as good as ordinary people like them.
"This...how is this possible? These two people must be pretending!"
"Aren't you talking about a master of transformation in the fourth level of super level? How could it be...how could it be..."
"What on earth does the emperor want to do? He even dares to arrest people from the holy land of martial arts!"
"Reckless man...foolish king! Tyrant!"
A few shrewd but timid people suddenly understood what was happening, rolled their eyes and fainted on the spot, and then were pinched awake by the Jin Yiwei beside them.
Many people who saw the opportunity suddenly reacted suddenly, burst into tears and shouted injustice:
"I want to see the emperor! I was wronged!"
"Please, Your Majesty, have mercy! Please, Your Majesty, have mercy!"
"This... I have always been loyal to the Wu Kingdom and to the Emperor. I can learn from the sky and the sun and the moon..."
Amidst the cries, the eunuch’s announcement came from one end of Zhuque Street:
"The Holy Spirit has arrived!"
Then he saw the resplendent dragon chariot, escorted by a group of martial arts guards and surrounded by a group of civil and military officials, slowly coming to the center of Zhuque Street.
The young emperor, wearing a dragon robe and a crown, sat on the dragon chariot with a calm expression.
"Long live my emperor!" On both sides of the street, a crowd of people from the capital knelt on the ground in darkness, shouting from the bottom of their hearts, "Long live the emperor."
"Your Majesty, I..." Zhao Weizhi shouted loudly, but suddenly his chin was pinched by the Jin Yiwei beside him and dislocated. His face was so painful that he was sweating and couldn't say a word.
Beside the hundreds of criminals kneeling on the ground, the imperial guards made the same move, dislocating their jaws so that they could not speak at all.
They were not qualified to talk to the emperor.
Only Dongzhu Party leader Xu Wen and Hou Party leader Zhang Chongyang are safe and sound and have not been banned.
"I have a hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, descend to earth immediately!" Xu Wen was wearing heavy shackles, with disheveled hair, shouting and laughing wildly, as if he was crazy.
The emperor looked down at him from the dragon chariot and said calmly:
"The nine tribes are going to be executed. Is there any use in pretending to be crazy or acting stupid? It will only make me look down on you."
As soon as he said this, Xu Wen, who was shaking his body and dancing wildly, trembled suddenly, his arms raised high dropped, a bitter smile appeared on his face, and he said in a trembling voice:
"The Emperor...really wants to be an enemy of the nine surnames and ten clans in the world?"
When he saw the emperor returning from the battlefield, killing He Xingzu and capturing Dong Yuan alive, he had already understood the emperor's determination to attack the Nine and Ten Clan, so he only hoped to have a chance of survival by pretending to be crazy and acting stupid.
But he didn't expect that all his schemes would be like a joke and a clown in front of the emperor.
But even now, Xu Wen still couldn't figure out why the emperor wanted to be an enemy of the world's famous families when he was clearly not an arrogant and reckless person.
Does he really not want to sit in this court?
Li Yun shook his head slightly and looked at the leader of the Dongzhu Party in front of him with neither joy nor sorrow, and said slowly:
"You still don't understand that the nine surnames and ten clans are enemies of the people of the world."
Zhang Chongyang, the post-party leader who was kneeling next to Xu Wen, also smiled bitterly and said:
"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is the mother of the world after all. Why should your Majesty..."
In front of the dragon chariot, Shao Guang, the eunuch in charge of the ceremony, immediately said:
"The Queen Mother has issued an imperial edict, admitting that her virtue is not worthy of her position, and has withdrawn from the position of Queen Mother. The ancient Buddha of Qing Deng has ended her remaining life."
Zhang Chongyang looked as if he had been hit hard, his face was ashen and defeated, and he fell to the ground exhausted.
Li Yun stopped talking and waved his hands gently.
Shao Guang immediately stepped forward, unfolded the imperial edict in his hand, and declared loudly:
"The Emperor is entrusted with the destiny of heaven, and the edict says: Today there are three parties, the Eunuch Party, the Dongzhu Party, and the Houdang Party, which are causing trouble for the government and acting in perverse ways. Those who are the Eunuch Party..."
In this imperial edict, the crimes of the Eunuch Party, the Dongzhu Party, and the Hou Party were listed, and their crimes were clearly explained.
Among them, all the crimes of the Dongzhu Party and the nine and ten families behind it were explained, such as controlling the government, harming the public and enriching private interests, breaking the bones and sucking the marrow of the people of the world, and cutting off the official career of the people of the world.
All the people in the capital present were filled with indignation and resentment at this time.
The officials of the three parties became more and more frightened as they listened.
Many things they regarded as ordinary things turned out to be crimes under the emperor's decree!
If they don't control the official career, do they allow those mud-legged people from civilian backgrounds to become officials in the court?
Is that still true? What kind of background and grace are there in this court? ?
The ancestral property they had accumulated over thousands of years and dynasties, in the eyes of the emperor, turned out to be a source of harm to the people of the world.
Obviously they are the ones who provide a way out for the mud-legged people in this world.
If those poor and lowly people with mud-legged bodies feel that being a sharecropper and a slave is too harsh, they don't have to do it.
Our aristocratic family didn't ask them to do work. We think it's not a human life. You can obviously do it.
The emperor is simply trying to incriminate him, so why bother!
What they didn't expect was that the civilians who were watching were filled with indignation after hearing the imperial edict. They looked at them with eyes that made them want to be skinned and torn apart.
They are really a group of unruly people who are easily incited!
"...The leader of the three parties killed the nine tribes, and the accomplices of the three parties, the three Yi tribes! The land and estates obtained from the houses were confiscated, and public fields and villages were set up, and they were equally distributed among the people for farming and harvesting. No taxes were collected for seven years! I do this! "
As Shao Guang's voice fell, the hundreds of thousands of people present in the capital immediately shouted in unison, "Long live the mountain."
The public land and the village do not collect taxes. This is really a kind of virtuous and benevolent government that is rare in a thousand years!
Li Yun raised his head slightly and looked at the sun in the sky.
Shao Guang immediately announced:
"Noon has arrived, please give me the emperor's decree!"
Li Yun's voice was calm, as if he was saying something insignificant:
"cut."
