"Reporting to the emperor, the Dongchang reported that it was indeed through investigation that the scholars Jiang Hede, Gao Eryan and others were inciting tenants to stand up for the scholars, and said that the emperor was kind and loving the people, and would not use iron-blooded means to the people. The tenants believed it deeply. In addition, they were indeed unwilling to become free people who paid taxes and served in the court, so they followed the instigation of these scholars and the slaves of various officials, gentry and family members and gathered in the government offices or the capital to speak out for the scholars."

At this time, Wei Zhongxian from Dongchang also wanted Zhu Youxiao to report the latest investigations of Dongchang about the gathering of local heroes to cause trouble.

After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao rubbed his face.

He had to admit that these selfish tenant village heroes were still relatively ignorant and actually believed that the mouths of these scholars were as simple as those of the emperors before the Ming Dynasty, such as Emperor Xiaozong of Ming, Emperor Muzong of Ming, and Emperor Guangzong of Ming.

Because Zhu Youxiao believed that he was not a kind king, even if a scholar took the initiative to put a high hat on him, he would not recognize him.

He did want to make the Ming people richer, more thoughtful and more literate, but he always believed that if he wanted to achieve all this, he would not be as kind as a Bodhisattva.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao had previously cruelly suppressed a large number of weavers and weaving households who were motivated by the gentry because of the official industry in Jiangnan.

However, in this era, due to the obstruction of news, the people's indifference to politics, the lack of independent thinking ability, and the group's rapid forgetting of popular events, coupled with the interests and the gentry's authority within the clan and in front of tenants, these tenants did not know that their emperor was an emperor who dared to do anything, nor how unreliable the scholars' mouths were. These local heroes did not have a memory because Zhu Youxiao had handled the affairs of weavers before.

"Have these agitators caught?"

Zhu Youxiao asked next.

"I've been arrested, and I'm waiting for the emperor's instructions."

Wei Zhongxian replied.

"Strict interrogation and find more people!"

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"I obey the order!"

Wei Zhongxian replied.

At this time, Fang Congzhe, who was beside Zhu Youxiao, asked: "Your Majesty, the West Factory is still waiting for the order. Look, what should the people who make trouble outside deal with it?"

"What kind of people are they? They are just lackeys of scholars. They are ignorant and selfish. They have not become scholars and officials, but they have the disease of scholars and officials. I really think that if they are devoted to the names of officials and gentry as tenants, they will be officials and gentry?"

Zhu Youxiao asked as he spoke.

Fang Congzhe was not surprised by the emperor's words. He knew that he was very keen on the issue and was full of doubts about anyone's words. Even if it was the words of a saint, no one could fool him.

Therefore, he knew that the tenants who were doing business with officials and gentry outside could not scare the emperor, and would not make the emperor feel that what he did was not good for the people.

"Your Majesty's wise!"

Fang Congzhe only replied.

"The cabinet intends to let all the patrol battalions go to the periphery to surround all the troublemakers. Anyone who fled because of the suppression of the West Factory will be arrested and temporarily detained in the Ministry of Justice, waiting for exile. At the same time, the Xichang will be instructed to directly suppress and kill them without any punishment!"

Zhu Youxiao said, "Since they betrayed me as the Emperor of Han, I think I will not ruin my foundation, but I would rather ruin my foundation than let there be no rules in the world!"

"yes!"

Fang Congzhe replied.

Yuan Keli, who replaced Xiong Tingbi, sighed secretly because he retired and entered the cabinet and the Political Affairs Hall.

He had already expected such a thing to happen, but he only made suggestions to strengthen the power of the Xichang factory in case of large-scale rebellion, and did not choose to stop the emperor because he knew that the court was right to do so.

But Yuan Keli had to admit that Fang Congzhe was selfish for his own power and would rather attack the civilian gentry first than engage in commercial taxes.

Zhu Youxiao had to admit that the essence of the court was still a violent organ, and it was established by the strongest to rule the weak.

Therefore, when the interests of the court and the interests of tenants were irreconcilable, as the highest decision-maker of the court, the Ming Emperor, he still had to use his own violence to forcibly suppress these tenants who stood up for scholars for their own interests.

"fire!"

He Shixian shouted loudly.

The cannon sounded loudly, and the cannonballs directly hit the crowd of the townspeople blocking the Xichang, and immediately smashed many people into meat paste.

At the same time, He Shixian personally brought his servants' cavalry and carried three-eyed guns to fight against these local brave men.

The lead bullet squirted into the middle of these village heroes.

These rural heroes fell down in batches.

They were naturally surprised at this time.

They didn't expect that the officials and soldiers of the West Factory in front of them would still attack them. Unlike the officials and gentry said, the emperor would give them face.

Many rural heroes fled directly because of this.

The patrol camp surrounded outside immediately captured the local heroes who had run out and tied them into a bunch. Soon, many local heroes were tied up in the open space in the suburbs of Beijing.

At the same time, the Xichang still used iron-blooded means to suppress these rural heroes who had not had time to escape, and directly opened a bloody road and then successfully entered the capital city.

"Your Majesty still issued an order to take action!"

Huang Liji couldn't help but say to Song Quan as he heard the sound of cannons outside.

"It's Your Majesty! I don't know how future generations will discuss this matter in the future."

Song Quan sighed and replied.

"Actually, what can the tenants make mistakes? They just gather together to say a few words to us scholars, and do nothing else! Such a simple and kind people, even if they don't understand the intentions of the court, should be educated. How can they kill them directly indiscriminately!"

Huang Liji then couldn't help but say angrily.

"Your Majesty did this for us scholars! He had said that scholars were glorious in their labor. Now these people gathered together and said that we scholars were Wenqu Stars and could not be used to serve hard labor. Naturally, Your Majesty would not allow such voices that were different from him."

Song Quan continued.

...

"Report to Your Majesty, all the fugitives among the people who have caused trouble have been arrested. How to deal with it, please give me instructions."

Fang Congzhe reported to Zhu Youxiao.

"Don't they want to be lackeys of officials and gentry, and not to be self-cultivated people who pay taxes to the court. I don't let them go, but let them be self-cultivated farmers. They messed up and reorganized them according to different clans and different hometowns, and then exiled them to various counties in Taiwan and various towns of Nagasaki to go to farm! There is no scholar there yet, so I see how they contribute! Just do this! In addition, the order was issued, and the people who made trouble in other prefectures did this, suppressed first, then arrested, and reorganized and exiled to the newly opened territory of the Ming Dynasty!"

Zhu Youxiao ordered.

"Your Majesty! If this happens, it will probably lead to a large amount of vacant land for officials and gentry. After all, there are no tenant farmers and no one to grow the land for officials and gentry families. How should these vacant land be dealt with?"

Yuan Keli said at this time.
