Chapter 0820 Reversing black and white: the king of Shu died not at the mouth of wild dogs, but at the hands of mobs(1/2)
"Leave no one behind!
Zhu Youxiao's voice was cold and filled with infinite chill, making Wei Zhongxian's whole body tremble.
"Emperor Wei Zhongxian shuddered: Master, there are too many people who know about this matter now, and it is difficult to hide it."
"hiss
Zhu Youxiao felt that the tone he had finally followed was about to come back again: Who knows?
Wei Zhongxian took out the information and carefully handed it to Zhu Youxiao.
Zhu Youxiao opened the information and looked at it, his face became even more ugly: "It has almost spread throughout Sichuan and Sichuan?!"
The imperial court's counter-rebellion army, officials, students and businessmen from all over Sichuan and Shu, as well as those rebellious people
How did this spread so widely?!
Wei Zhongxian looked helpless. How could such a thing be hidden? With so many people watching, they couldn't silence it even if they wanted to.
Moreover, this kind of news involving the royal family is spread much more widely than other things. Don’t ordinary people just love a little gossip? What are the secrets of the royal family, what is the neighbor’s affair, and what is the secret history of purdah?
This involves a clan vassal king and rumors are probably flying all over the place.
Obviously, Zhu Youxiao was also aware of this, and he had never regretted so much for not clearing out these vassal kings as soon as possible.
If I had known earlier, if I had known earlier, I should have given all these feudal kings and let them farm their land for me!
Principal Zhu You sighed, feeling tired: "This matter cannot be spread, the majesty of the court and the royal family cannot be damaged, and the true news must not be spread.
Wei Zhongxian thought hard and finally said: "Your Majesty, why don't you invite Master Zhang?
"No!" Zhu Youxiao suddenly interrupted Wei Zhongxian's suggestion.
Glancing at the astonished Wei Zhongxian, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "Master has already worked hard enough, and now the entire plan for the conquest of Liao lies with Master.
Go and call those people from Donglin."
Wei Zhongxian noticed something, but he didn't dare to say anything and went out to call someone.
Soon, several officials appeared in Wuying Hall.
Most of these officials are in the third or fourth rank, holding positions such as ministerial minister or deputy capital envoy, and they are also the few capable people in the imperial court of Donglin's old party.
Nowadays, there are no Jin Party, Zhejiang Party, Huai Party and other township parties. After the emergence of young officials based on Datong Academy, only the new party and the old party remain.
Suddenly hearing His Majesty the Emperor's call, these people were obviously a little confused, but then they were happy, and they realized that His Majesty the Emperor seemed to be using them!
These people stood in Wuying Palace, their heads lowered obediently, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's summons.
Time passed little by little, and there was still no sound coming from the inner hall of Wuying Hall. These people could only hear their own faint breathing. An invisible pressure enveloped them, and anxiety surged into their hearts.
Finally, Zhu Youxiao's voice came from the inner hall: "Come in."
Wei Zhongxian came out with a rare smile on his face: "Several adults, please invite me."
These people hurriedly saluted and entered the inner hall. They saw the young emperor wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a dragon headband sitting on the couch holding a copy of the Imperial Book. These people quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "My lord,
I bow to Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my Majesty. Zhu Youxiao nodded and said faintly: "My dear friends, you are the gentleman of Donglin. What is the first meaning of the gentleman of Donglin?"
Liu Guangtong, the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, said back to Your Majesty that your first duty should be to be loyal to your Majesty.
What is loyalty to the emperor?" Zhu Youxiao asked.
Liu Guangtong continued: "The state is in the upper body, and the people are safe in the lower body. It is the matter of eating the emperor's salary and being loyal to the emperor."
Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Oh, what is the importance of a family and a country?
The old party members looked at me and I looked at you, and they suddenly understood what Zhu Youxiao meant. Ji Min, the Minister of War, said: Since ancient times, loyalty and filial piety have been the most important thing, and loyalty comes before filial piety. Naturally, the king's affairs are the most important thing.
Zhu Youxiao squinted his eyes and looked at these old party members. To be honest, if he didn't want Zhang Haogu to know about this, he wouldn't want to use these people.
Sighing lightly, Zhu Youxiao moved his fingers: "Wei Banban, here you go."
Dear friends, please take a look.
Wei Zhongxian handed the information to Liu Guangtong and others. Ji Min and others looked at each of them one by one. After hearing this, their expressions changed.
Zhu Youxiao stared at the changes in the expressions of these people, and then asked: "Is this true or false?
Ji Min suddenly understood what Zhu Youxiao meant, and immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is true or false."
"Tell me what Zhu Youxiao is interested in: Look, is there any fake information about Jin Yiwei?
Ji Min said: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei's information will naturally not be false, but Jin Yiwei obviously did not investigate completely!
Jin Yiwei only found the body of King Shu, but what exactly happened to King Shu during his lifetime? Did Jin Yiwei ever investigate?
Tell me what you think." Zhu Youxiao lowered his head and played with the jade ring on his hand.
Ji Min recalled the information and said slowly: "Your Majesty, the death of the King of Shu was the result of a mob!
"Continue." Zhu Youxiao took off the jade ring on his thumb and squinted at it.
Ji Min took a deep breath and said, Your Majesty, the intelligence stated that there were several arrows next to the body of the King of Shu, and there were arrow cluster marks on the remaining robes of the King of Shu. This was obviously a mob who shot the King of Shu, and then killed the King of Shu.
His body was thrown into the wilderness and left to be eaten by wild dogs!”
What's the reason?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Ji Min.
Ji Min said without thinking, "Vent! They rebelled because of the King of Shu. Because they felt that they had no way out, they wanted to vent their resentment to the King of Shu and wanted a vassal king to be buried with them!"
Wei Zhongxian looked at Ji Min with his eyes wide open, thinking that these people from the old party really dared to talk nonsense. They could tell such nonsense with their eyes open.
"Then, how should we deal with it?" Zhu Youxiao asked again, looking very studious and inquiring.
Ji Min felt that cold sweat was forming on his forehead. The emperor had been ruling the world for fourteen years, and he was not a puppet. Don't you know how to deal with the emperor?
Moreover, the previous imperial edict has been issued, and now we are asking how to deal with it. Isn’t the meaning still obvious?
Very obvious! But do Ji Min and the others have a choice?
No choice!
Ji Min gritted his teeth. These Japanese gangsters were being restrained everywhere in the court. Even though each of them was a third-rank vice-capital and a minister, how much rights did they have?
Now the old party only has two or three big cats and kittens in the court, and it is losing ground at the local level. If the emperor does not support them anymore, then they will completely perish.
Now that the emperor has raised a question, he has also raised a choice. Should he follow the emperor's will to gain opportunities, or watch himself be suppressed for life.
What's more, when this kind of thing is thrown out, there is actually no choice.
Ji Min swallowed his saliva and said with a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, these mobs are deceiving the imperial court and they will definitely do it again.
Previously, because the King of Shu was a little willful and overcharged taxes, he rebelled. If the government's decrees do not go according to their wishes in the future, these mobs will definitely rebel again!"
Therefore, I thought that he should be killed to set the record straight, and the death of the King of Shu should be made public to prevent the people from being deceived.
Wei Zhongxian was really confused at this time.
A little bit of willfulness, a little more tax collected?!
Is the King of Shu a little willful?
That was the ridiculous prince who was criticized by the emperor himself as a bastard and a waste. Not to mention the excessive taxation, he forced the people to sell their children and daughters, separated their wives, made them do all kinds of labor, and made them dig in the mines and treat them as slaves.
The people in Sichuan and Sichuan have to pay the last bit of food during the year of great disaster, which makes the people of Sichuan and Sichuan have their families destroyed.
He personally forced half a million people to rebel. This kind of person is called a little willful?
But obviously, Ji Min's ability to talk nonsense was recognized by Zhu Youxiao.
Seeing Zhu Youxiao nodding his encouragement, Ji Min became more courageous and said loudly: "Your Majesty, I believe that the mob rebellion in Sichuan and Shu is a serious case of our Tianqi Dynasty, and must be severely punished. Those who are led by the mob will not be involved in the siege of Shu."
Don’t let go of anyone who belongs to the king.”
"At the same time, an announcement should be made to the world, stating that His Highness the King of Shu was killed by these mobs, and these mobs were just
However, those who rebel and kill members of the clan should be punished according to the law.
"Tell me how to judge." Zhu Youxiao said.
Ji Min took a deep breath: "Your Majesty, those who besieged the King of Shu from the north gate that day, beheaded them all, young and old! The rest of the mob were sent to Liaodong."
Wei Zhongxian looked at Ji Min, what a talent he was!
First of all, all the people who besieged the King of Shu were killed. No one knew whether the King of Shu was killed by the rebels or not, and this matter was confirmed.
Then all the rebellious people were sent to Liaodong. Hundreds of thousands of people happened to serve in the army. This left a large amount of investment and manpower for the imperial court to conquer Huang Taiji.
Finally, he used the court's words to control public opinion and changed things slightly. The king of Shu died in the hands of the rebels. The rebels were so heartbroken that they killed the king of Shu and threw his body into the wilderness. The court instantly occupied the righteousness, and finally returned the favor.
Able to shock people by killing people
As expected of a Donglin scholar, his heart is so dark.
Zhu Youxiao put the ring on his hand and sighed quietly: "If I leave this matter to Liu Aiqing and Ji Aiqing, will it wrong you?
Liu Guangtong was also a ruthless man, and he immediately bowed and said: "For Your Majesty, no matter how much hardship we endure, no matter how tired we are, we deserve it. How can we be wronged when we are loyal to you?"
"Then go to Zhu Youxiao and nod: Do it.
Sir, please accept the order." Liu Guangtong and Ji Min kowtowed immediately.
After all the people from Donglin's old party left, Zhu Youxiao sighed: Hey
To be continued...
