My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 389

Chapter 389 Your sharp mouth is still my sword

Zhu Di looked calm.

He has no anger left.

As an emperor, instead of being angry, it is better to think about the harm and influence of people like Xu Qi at this moment.

So, Xu Qi defended himself angrily, but Zhu Di was calm, just looked at Xu Qi indifferently, and continued to say nothing.

Xu Qi continued his performance, and said with a very sad expression: “Since I entered the court, I have been conscientious and have a reputation as an official, but has your Majesty ever thought about why I have come to this point?”

Speaking of this, Xu Qi gritted his teeth: “The minister is the chief envoy to keep one side safe. Jiangxi’s chief envoy is considered to be rich, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. But what about after that? Afterwards, the Zhili New Deal, the world is in turmoil, Your Majesty Can you tell how far people’s hearts have fluctuated after the Zhili New Deal?”

Having said this, Xu Qi began to roar loudly: “How many people no longer think about production, and what is the use of production? Who knows that one day, the imperial court will not repeat the same trick in Jiangxi and confiscate the land of good people? As for other people, It is also becoming more and more cunning. There are countless people who resist the rent and withdraw the rent. Some people even abandon the rented land and take the old and the young to go to Zhili. In various prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, I don’t know how many fields are barren, and I don’t know how many people are worried. ”

“Does your Majesty know these things?” Xu Qi said: “People’s hearts are fluctuating, and big things are about to happen! That’s why: in the past, when the sage kings were alive, they did not honor the virtuous, so that the people would not fight; they did not value rare things, so that the people would not be stolen; Desirable, so that the hearts of the people are not disturbed. The so-called rule of the sage is to empty his mind, fill his belly, weaken his will, and strengthen his bones.”

“But the implementation of the new policy has spread to the whole world. The people are cunning, and they are blinded by the trend of interests. They no longer feel at ease in production. Everyone puts profit first, and people’s hearts are so depraved that they even have sex. Such behaviors are against education. How can the world be stable? reason?”

“Looking at Jiangxi, the situation is critical. I don’t know how many elderly people in the countryside are worried, and they come here to sue. What about the minister… I am the chief minister, but there is nothing I can do.”

“Henceforth, His Majesty wants to revitalize the railway again. Seeing His Majesty’s overjoyed attitude, those flattering and flattering people use the construction of the railway as a means of doing things. Well, since Your Majesty wants to build it, as ministers, I will naturally follow it. You can start repairing it. It was only after the railway that I learned that the railway…was actually a poisonous plan.”

Xu Qi became more and more excited as he talked.

Zhu Di just looked indifferent.

Zhang Anshi couldn’t help but said: “How can this be a poisonous scheme?”

Xu Qi immediately said: “Because there is no way to build the railway.”

Zhang Anshi said with a bit of anger: “Why can’t you start cultivating?”

Xu Qi said confidently: “To build roads, the gentry’s land must be confiscated. If it is not confiscated, the cost of purchasing the land will be a big hole, a bottomless pit. The subordinates went to compete with the people for profit, to plunder other people’s lands, and to harm the people. This is the teaching minister and other famous people under the sage’s sect. They are like wolves, dare to ask your majesty… The imperial court does not want to protect the country and the people, but invades the land of the people. What’s the reason for this?”

“During the Yuan Dynasty, the people were not so invaded. Why did we come to Ming Dynasty, where the Chinese people are well-dressed, but treat the people like grass?”

“What a minister does, although it is unfaithful as a minister, but as far as the common people and society are concerned, they are not ashamed of their hearts.”

After Xu Qi finished speaking, he was moved to tears.

He was moved by himself.

People at this time, of course know that their death penalty is inevitable, but at this time Xu Qi, thinking that what he has done is the first-class and most just thing in the world, but he can’t help but be moved by himself.

“Today’s failure, there is only death.”

He continued with a generous statement: “Your Majesty, please impose the death penalty. If the death of the minister can affect your majesty, make your majesty rein in the precipice and respect the living people, then I will have no regrets if I die.”

As these words came out, the officials who came along burst into tears. It has to be said that Xu Qi and other Jinshi-born people really have two brushes, so all the officials were very touched and said: “Wish to work with Mr. Xu.” die.”

Although they were intrigues and intrigues with each other before, but when the catastrophe came, it seemed… this was also an excellent result.

Zhu Di smiled, looked at Zhang Anshi and said, “What do Zhang Qing think?”

Zhang Anshi felt that he was about to vomit blood, and said, “Your Majesty, these thieves are even worse than Fang Xiaoru!”

Zhu Di said: “Why?”

Zhang Anshi said disdainfully: “Fang Xiaoru is just stupid, and these people… are purely bad!”

It’s so bad!

Xu Qi was furious after hearing this, glaring and said: “Zhang Anshi, Er Mo heard about Zhang Tang and Lai Junchen?”

The two people mentioned by Xu Qi were famous cruel officials in history, but later, because of the public outrage, they both ended up extremely miserable.

Zhang Anshi laughed and said: “Nowadays, what kind of loyal ministers are you? You keep saying that you are the country and common people, how many common people do you know? What you call common people are just a group of duplicity. .If the railway cannot be built, where are the public debts and the people’s ointment allotted by His Majesty now? Are you taking these money to satisfy the appetites of the common people, but in exchange for your own name?”

Zhang Anshi felt that these people were extremely shameless!

Xu Qi said angrily: “Nonsense!”

Zhu Di said: “Qing…name…qing…name…”

Zhu Di murmured, and thoughtfully said: “Yes, if I punish you and others, there will still be people talking about the benefits of these people. Wouldn’t it be ridiculous to say that he is a loyal minister with strong bones?”

Xu Qi said indignantly: “I… don’t do it for fame or fortune, just…”

Zhu Di snapped his eyes and said, “That’s good, as long as these people who praise them are cut off, then… there will be no such name.”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Qi only felt chills all over his body. He thought he heard it wrong.

Zhu Di said: “After thinking about it for so long, I just realized that it turns out… the crux of the problem lies in this.”

As he spoke, Zhu Di fell off his horse and approached Xu Qi step by step.

Xu Qi subconsciously bent his knees and took a step back.

Zhu Di said slowly: “Don’t worry, I won’t kill you now, if I kill you now, wouldn’t it be easier for you?”

Xu Qi: “…”

Then, Zhu Di said solemnly: “I only ask you, where is my money?”

Obviously, Xu Qi couldn’t answer.

Zhu Di asked again: “Where did my money go?”

Xu Qi said: “Your Majesty…”

Zhu Di’s face finally turned red, reaching the ears: “You have taken my money, but you still dare to stand in front of me, so plausible! You want to plot to assassinate me, but you still dare to talk about loyalty? You are treating me like a deaf person , Blind man, do you think I am a fool?”

Xu Qi said: “Your Majesty…”

Zhu Di smiled angrily: “Okay, you have the guts, you dare to take my money and do nothing, then… just take the lives of your whole clan, old and young.”

Zhu Di turned his head: “Search for his family members, don’t let any one go.”

Zhu Di immediately pointed to Liu Rongren and others: “There is also him, him, him, this, and that… don’t let any of them go.”

Zhu Di continued coldly: “This is what you said…I am tyrannical, so I will show you how tyrannical I am. Let’s see how sharp my knife is, or how sharp my mouth is!”

Although Xu Qi was moved by himself, when he knew the final result, he shuddered and hurriedly said: “I…the minister has no selfish thoughts in this move…”

Zhu Di ignored it completely.

Liu Rong and others wailed: “Your Majesty… spare my family’s life.”

Zhu Di still ignored it.

It was Zhang Anshi who said, “Your Majesty, I have something to say.”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: “Speak.”

Zhang Anshidao: “Your Majesty, the reason why they keep talking about common people is that they only collude with the gentry. In the final analysis, they themselves are the gentry. I think it’s cruel for your majesty to let the world go and kill them all, old and young. Your Majesty is magnanimous, so why not just punish his close relatives, and degrade the rest of the people as pariahs, exile them to the ends of the earth, let them live as coolies, and teach their children and grandchildren to be real people!”

“As a result, their descendants are usually oppressed by those so-called elders and gentry, but they have an ancestor who colluded with them. I’m afraid they will be angry and ashamed of it.”

Zhu Di gave Zhang Anshi a vicious look.

Then, the eyes softened again.

He hated Zhang Anshi for not living up to expectations.

He is called a cruel official all day long, but he has the name of a cruel official, but he always saves people’s lives at critical moments.

I want to go on a killing spree, but this guy always hopes that he can forgive me at this time.

This guy…was raised by the prince in the end. Although he has been tempered several times, he still has a soft-hearted side.

Zhu Di originally wanted to say that the wild fire is endless, and the spring breeze blows and regenerates.

But after careful consideration, he still asked, “Where should I move?”

Zhang Anshi said: “The desert.”

Zhu Di raised his eyebrows and said, “Defend the border and guard the city?”

“Exactly.”

Zhu Di said with some doubts: “What if he colludes with the Hu people?”

Zhang Anshi said: “If they can really use their methods to educate the barbarians, that would be great. Your Majesty… I hope that the barbarians will repair something in the future, but they will spend money and achieve nothing. Such wine bags and rice bags, if Really colluding with the barbarians may be beneficial to my Daming.”

Zhu Di lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said: “The members of his family can escape the death penalty, but his close relatives and flesh and blood cannot be forgiven, and they will all be killed, leaving no one behind.”

Zhang Anshi closed his mouth this time and did not speak again.

Zhu Di said again: “As for these rebels, they will all be dealt with by Ling Chi. Zhang Qing’s idea is not out of the question. Since they are thinking about violence, then… it is not out of the question to send all their relatives to the Hu people. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Di got on his horse and said, “Take them all down.”

Everyone suddenly agreed: “Observe the order.”

Xu Qi was chilled when he heard this, he felt as if he had been hit by a bolt from the blue, and he was speechless at what he wanted to say.

Chen Daowen directly tied them up, and then prepared to execute them.

This is a criminal case, and the people involved are not limited to mere Xu Qiren and others.

And Zhu Di has also mounted his horse and led the people forward.

At the front is the official army gathered by Xu Qi and others.

Jin Yiwei and others played the guard of honor of the emperor. In an instant, when the officers and soldiers saw this, who would dare to stop them? One by one, they knelt by the side of the road and shouted long live.

Zhu Di’s face was cold, he still had something on his mind, when he moved to the chief envoy’s office and walked into the hall, Zhang Anshi followed step by step.

At this time, Zhu Di suddenly turned his head and glared at Zhang Anshi, angrily said: “Being a human being should not be soft-hearted. I have repeatedly reminded you that you still don’t know how to repent!”

Zhang Anshi said with an aggrieved look on his face: “Chen…”

He just uttered a word, Zhu Di interrupted him: “These people… If you don’t cut the grass and roots, they will only think you are weak and deceitful. Don’t expect these people to repent. Even if they are frustrated, they will only lurk as minions. An Sheng For a while.”

“It looks obedient on the surface, but when the time comes, they will definitely retaliate. At that time, these people who are full of benevolence and justice for the people, when they want to kill you, they will never be half-kind to you !”

Zhang Anshi was startled when he heard this, but was speechless for a while.

Zhu Di looked at him for a while, but his tone softened again, and he said instead: “You are too smooth, just like the prince, you have never experienced real life and death, and the days of abundance teach you that although you know how to control and act, you are I don’t know… the true evil of the human heart.”

He walked with his hands behind his back, and continued: “If we don’t kill them today, if I and you fall into their hands, we will surely die without a place to die.”

“Minister… Wanshi…” Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and finally admitted his mistake obediently.

Zhu Di said indifferently: “This time, I still listen to you. Let the people of their three clans go to the desert! But when you go to the desert, you have to guard against it. There must be rules. For this matter, Jin Yiwei came up with a charter. , presented to me.”

Zhang Anshi hurriedly said angrily: “Yes, yes, Chen Wanshi…”

“Who is it!”

Zhu Di suddenly shouted angrily.

It turned out that it was Zhu Yong, Zhang Fu, and Chen Daowen who were about to come in to give a report, but when they heard Zhang Anshi being scolded, they all waited outside timidly.

Only Qiu Song stood in a conspicuous place outside the hall, puffing out his stomach and opening his eyes angrily.

Seeing this, Zhu Yong was so frightened that his heart trembled for a while, but he dared not hide, and they filed in one after another and said, “I have seen Your Majesty.”

Zhu Di glanced at them, and saw Zhang Anshi who dared not show his air, and said calmly: “Zhang Qing is arguing with me, but you are here.”

Zhu Yong said: “Your Majesty… Big Brother…”

Qiu Song quickly replied: “Your Majesty, what crime did the elder brother commit? Let me take it upon you.”

Zhu Di scolded: “Whoever you are, you are also on your head.”

Qiu Song originally wanted to say, I am the fourth brother among my brothers, but Zhang Fu quietly tucked me into the corner of my clothes.

Chen Daowen hurriedly said at this time: “Your Majesty, those people…have been imprisoned, and are currently being tortured. The minister…here…has begun to order people to search for their accomplices.”

Zhu Di had his hands behind his back at this time, and he also knew that he couldn’t continue to talk to a fool like Qiu Song. This kind of person is out of control and belongs to hob meat.

At the moment, Zhu Di said: “Have you checked the person behind the scenes?”

Chen Daowen said: “They refused to explain, these people… seem to have a hard mouth, I am thinking, they are now hopeless… I feel that whether I say it or not, it will have the same end, so… I need some time…”

“When you continue to interrogate, those people behind the scenes may have already escaped from their shells.” Zhu Di snorted coldly: “When the time comes, where can we find them?”

“This…” Chen Daowen immediately showed shame.

Zhu Di said: “Besides… where is my money?”

“I…had someone searched the Railway Department, but found…found…all the accounts of the Railway Department have been burned, and they have all been burned.”

Zhu Di opened his eyes and said: “It’s all burned? What about the treasury, how much money is there in the treasury?”

“No… not much…” Under Zhu Di’s stare, Chen Daowen’s voice was weak and authentic.

Zhu Di roared: “These rats, these thieves, my money!”

Sonic boom rubble.

All of a sudden, Chen Daowen was so frightened that he immediately bowed down: “I will die!”

Zhang Anshi said at this time: “Your Majesty, I have a word.”

Zhu Di let out a sigh of relief, and finally calmed down.

He looked at Zhang Anshi gently: “Speak up if you have something to say, I didn’t scold you just now, but just taught you the principles of life.”

Zhang Anshi resentfully said: “I think… there should be another account.”

Zhu Di said: “You mean…we still want to start with Xu Qi and others?”

Zhang Anshi shook his head: “The accounts of Xu Qi and others should all be burned. The problem now is who sells the land and who buys the land. This is a muddled account. But I thought, what happened behind the scenes? If someone can instigate Xu Qi and others, then this person… must not be an ordinary person. If he is not an ordinary person, then… will this person also have a debt in his hand? And having this debt means…he As long as you hold this account, you can make many people willing to act for him?”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi firmly and said, “This person…must be found?”

Zhang Anshi frowned and said: “Yes, if this person cannot be thoroughly searched out before noon tomorrow, I am afraid that this person has already fled with his family, and since this person has such a great reputation, so many people are willing to be his Pawns, he wants to hide, but it is easy, not to mention the three caves of the cunning rabbit, such people will not leave a way out for themselves.”

Zhu Di listened, and nodded slowly: “What you said…is not unreasonable. Before noon tomorrow…if people can’t find it, my money…will be hard to find. It’s just…”

He looked at Chen Daowen: “Before tomorrow dawn, can we pry something out of Xu Qi and the others?”

“Humble…Humble and do your best.”

Zhu Di frowned, dissatisfied with this answer.

Zhang Anshi said at this time: “Has your Majesty ever thought about…why Xu Qi refuses to speak?”

Zhu Di looked at Zhang Anshi: “Say it.”

Zhang Anshi said: “Since this person is extraordinary, I also said that he will leave a way out for himself, so…could it be that Xu Qi’s family…is already in the hands of this person? If so, then Xu Qi Even now, even if the body is broken into thousands of pieces, I will never speak.”

Zhu Di’s eyes suddenly ignited like a raging fire: “Yes, they dare to instruct Xu Qi to do such a thing, but if they don’t do it, how can they ensure Xu Qi’s obedience? In this way… it makes sense, if so , wouldn’t it be that Xu Qi and the others wouldn’t open their mouths even if they died?”

Zhang Anshi smiled and said: “Since Xu Qi and the others can’t find a breakthrough, then I have an idea.”

…

Plead for a monthly pass.
