Chapter 304 Destroy the nine gentry to prove the imperial power
"All nonsense! If the power of life and death of common people is directly controlled by you, it is destroying the emperor's authority and stealing Tai'a's behavior! I see that you, Wang Tai, not only does not have me in your eyes, but also attempts to deceive me with fallacies and crook my words, and use evil words to hide the chaos and pretend to be unpleasant loyal words! It is really disrespectful to me!"
Zhu Youxiao scolded the high-ranking official Wang Tailai.
Zhu Youxiao was the emperor and had the highest imperial power that dominated the world.
What is the supreme imperial power?
Specifically, it is the only master of the power of life and death, the makers of laws and regulations, and the highest decision-making power for all military and political affairs.
Among them, the only master of the power of life and death is very important.
Because the most important right of a person is life.
If an emperor wants to become the true master of the world, the first thing he must do is to determine the life and death of everyone.
If everyone cannot decide the life and death of everyone, it will be difficult to make everyone obey the emperor's rule.
If an emperor wants to be the only emperor, he must be the only person who can determine the life and death of others.
In other words, no matter how high or low other people are, they cannot determine their life and death, otherwise they will be usurping the imperial power!
Therefore, no matter how lazy the emperor is, he will personally conquer the life and death of the prisoner without allowing others to take over his own power.
After all, if anyone except the emperor can decide a person's life and death, then this person can control the person to do anything for him, which is usurping the imperial power.
The Ming Dynasty did not go to the countryside because many times, the lives and deaths of common people were dominated by gentry in the clan without the emperor's permission.
Zhu Youxiao is not a fool, so he naturally knows that Wang Tai is making a sophistry.
Seeing that his words could not fool the emperor, Wang Tai did not speak for a while, so naturally he did not beg for mercy.
"No one can decide the life and death of others except me. No matter whether this person is nobler or inferior than you, you have no right to decide his life and death, otherwise it will be a transgression!"
Zhu Youxiao continued to draw a conclusion, and then said: "It is obvious that many people in Wuqing County do not know this, and they do not know that only I can seize the power of life and death! Therefore, when I pass on my will, I immediately gathered all the people of Wuqing County, and then executed the villagers of the nine tribes of the Wang family and the slaves of the family in front of all the Wuqing people! The main culprit Wang Tai also lingchi in front of these people, and wanted these people to know that this Wuqing City is not the Wuqing City of his Wang family, but my Wuqing City, and the East Factory was executed."
"Abide by the order!"
Wei Zhongxian replied.
"Wang Tai, I want to destroy your nine clans in front of all the people of Wuqing, so that all the people of Wuqing County will know from now on that place, the gentry and tyrants who seem to be unprovoked, are still like ants in front of my imperial power. I say that if you destroy your nine clans, you can destroy your nine clans! I have to thank you, you have given me a chance to declare the imperial power and strengthen your authority."
Zhu Youxiao started talking to Wang Tai.
Wang Tai glanced at Zhu Youxiao helplessly. He knew that the emperor felt that he had arrested him and his people to the capital and punished him. If he told the world, the gentry would not let the villagers and slaves in his clan know that the emperor was more authoritarian than the gentry. Therefore, the emperor simply wanted to chop off a wave of heads in front of all the people of Wuqing County and kill the gentry and wealthy families in the local people who were very respected in front of all the people of Wuqing County, so that the people of Wuqing County knew that the gentry was nothing in front of the imperial power.
"Your Majesty! Can you tell the criminals who taught these emperors, whether they were Fang Daxing or Xu Shanghai?!"
Wang Tai asked loudly.
Wang Tai has to admit that the emperor is really cruel enough to do this!
Because, in order to make the common people obey and obey them, these gentry used many methods to fool these common people.
For example, spreading the integrity and justice of civil servants and officials through social operas, such as the Di Gong's case and the Bao Gong's case.
Indeed, the protagonists of these stories are Di Renjie and Bao Zheng, the praised scholars and officials, have their own nobleness.
But it does not prevent the gentry from using this to brainwash the common people, so that the common people know that only civil servants and gentry are the ones who are good for their own good and love them.
As for the emperor, they also used various methods to let the common people know that any good emperor who loves the people listened to the words of civil servants and gentry, and a bad emperor was disobedient.
Anyway, the standard for the emperor's good or bad is to listen to advice.
Then, the gentry began to make the common people automatically obey their control, and even the right to life was willing to be controlled by the gentry.
But now, the emperor has to declare the gentry who cares about them guilty in front of the common people and to execute them with harsh means.
It is undoubtedly telling these common people that gentry can also commit crimes. They are nothing in front of imperial power, but they are just paper-stuffed, and they will be rotten with one stab!
Moreover, if you don’t have the brain to follow the gentry to make accomplices for tigers, the fox will be executed if it is a tiger’s power.
Because only imperial power is supreme.
"I have Su Hui, and all my knowledge is taught by God, and I have received the teachings from the dreams of the ancestors, including Taizu, Chengzu and other ancestors. Why do I need enlightenment from the ministers!"
Zhu Youxiao replied with a sneer.
Wang Tai didn't say anything more.
Next, Wang Tai was taken down.
"I am abide by the emperor's orders from Mu Shou Wuqing. The gentry Wang Tai bewitched the villagers in his clan and slandered the officials as possessed by demons and intended to burn them to death. This was a ruthless act. Now the emperor has been authorized by the emperor and sentenced to accomplice to rebel. The nine clans should be punished! In front of the people of the county, they will be executed immediately! To serve as a warning! The official will be the chief officer personally!"
After receiving the decree of Zhu Youxiao to summon all the scholars and people of Wuqing County and executing the people of the nine tribes of Wang Tai in front of the scholars and people of Wuqing County, Tao Yunzhi, the magistrate of Wuqing County, loudly conveyed the reason why he summoned all the scholars and people of Wuqing County to come here today.
Then, Tao Yunzhi slapped the agglomeration and ordered: "Punisher!"
Then, Wang Tai and others were taken over, and even the county officials and clerks who colluded with Wang Tai were taken over.
In the face of imperial power, these local forces are nothing.
Even because of the support of imperial power, the county magistrate Tao Yunzhi, who was bullied by these local forces before and was about to burn him to death, has now become the incarnation of the emperor. His majesty has made the scholars and people below realize what the county magistrate who searched the house and the prefect who destroyed the family.
The gentry below naturally did not want to see such a situation, that is, because the government had the support of imperial power, they could confiscate and destroy their families, even though they were not ordinary people.
But they can only accept it now and have to endure the unhappiness.
"Execution!"
When the time came, Tao Yunzhi threw the token with all his strength, scolded Guan Xiu directly and threw him up.
At this moment, Tao Yunzhi felt that he was the real parent official here.
"ah!"
The accompanying medical staff temporarily acted as the executioner and stabbed Wang Tai down with a knife.
Wang Tai screamed in pain.
While Wang Tai screamed, other Wang Tai people and family slaves were also beheaded.
The heads rolled onto the ground like hail.
The scholars and people below were shocked when they saw this scene.
"It turns out that Mr. Wang will commit crimes and be killed!"
"Mr. Wang's family is actually exterminated. Didn't he say that he is the King of Heaven here?"
"Bah! What a Heavenly King, now it seems that in front of the emperor, there is nothing! Isn't it still executed by cutting melons and vegetables?!"
