My Brother-in-law is the Prince - Chapter 392

Chapter 392 Execution

Zhu Di was silent.

Facing the old man’s roar, Zhu Di was silent.

The old man sneered when he saw this.

He thought he had won.

The emperor was speechless.

Zhu Di ignored him, but asked Chen Daowen who came with him: “What did you find on him?”

“Account book…” Chen Daowen said: “In addition, the few people he accompanied are also prepared to interrogate on the humble side. Unsurprisingly, they can pry out a lot of things.”

As soon as these words came out, for Xu Qi and Liu Rong, it was very chilling.

Their parents, wife and children are all in the hands of this old man. Now that the old man has been arrested, it means that they are completely finished.

Xu Qi suddenly let out a mournful cry, choking with tears.

Liu Rong only felt that his whole body was paralyzed, and he couldn’t move his body.

Zhu Di said: “With the account book, it will be easy!”

Zhu Di said, pointing at the old man, and continued: “This old dog talks about being beautiful, but he is holding everyone’s back. It’s just a matter of blackmail. If that’s the case, I will fulfill your wish… this There is no more of your Wu family in the world, and…” (Sorry, the Wu family of the old man’s family was written as the Wang family in the previous chapter, which has been corrected now.)

Zhu Di nodded to Xu Qi and Liu Rong and said, “There will be no more of you, and everyone who owes me will have to pay back now, no, double it!”

The old man showed pain on his face.

After all, the spiritual joy brought about by the accusation against Zhu Di cannot change the cruelest reality that follows.

He looked tired and desperate, and then said: “At least… I have never humiliated my ancestors.”

Zhu Di looked at him, smiled contemptuously, and said, “You reminded me… I forgot, and I wanted to open the coffin and kill the corpse.”

“You…” The old man seemed to be too angry to speak for a moment.

Zhu Di suddenly put away that smile again, he squinted his eyes, but there was a trace of blood in his eyes.

This is an indescribable cruelty, and he said with a fake smile: “You just scold, you are not sharp-tongued, don’t you have a plausible speech? Heh… Huang Kao took the world with a three-foot sword in his clothes, and drove out Where were people like you when the Tartars were in captivity? When the world was in turmoil and people were dying, where were you? A group of self-confident and arrogant people, dare to slander Huang Kao here? What can be done, your servants are like clouds, and there are thousands of hectares of fertile land, but why don’t you see you all working together?”

“Oh…” Zhu Di raised his eyelids, and his tone became low: “I almost forgot that at that time, those ancestors of yours were either locked up at home to study, or they were worshiping the Mongol as their master, begging for money. An official position, begging for mercy from them, and serving them loyally.”

“Wild dogs like you are worthy of talking about the imperial examination?” Zhu Di looked at him coldly, and continued: “The reason why you dare to speak wildly in front of me, and even talk about the imperial examination, is nothing more than I thought… that this world cannot live without you. But… I will tell you one thing.”

Speaking of this, Zhu Di flicked his sleeves, sat back and sat upright, and said in a deep voice: “The world doesn’t need people like you anymore. What kind of Confucianism, what kind of saint’s sect, when the emperor took the world, he never relied on you to fight in all directions. Sitting in the world, it is not necessary to wait for such a person.”

Zhu Di’s tone was not mixed with too much anger, but these cold words seemed to have an inexplicable magical power to the old man, Liu Rong, Xu Qi and others.

They actually had an indescribable fear, and this fear was even far greater than their worries about their own wealth and life just now.

Zhu Di talked eloquently and authentically: “At the beginning, I punished Fang Xiaoru. It is rumored that I punished Fang Xiaoru’s ten clans, implicating thousands of people…”

When Zhu Di said this, he laughed again: “I’m not dead yet, and Fang Xiaoru’s clansmen are still alive, but there are people… who spread rumors like this. It’s like a bright mirror, but each of them speaks with nose and eyes, as if they saw it for themselves.”

Zhang Anshi was listening, and he was shocked.

What? Fang’s family really survived?

Then I, Zhang Anshi, use this to intimidate others on a daily basis, saying that His Majesty wants to destroy you, isn’t it also nonsense?

It can be seen that the rumormongers are really hateful!

This is really lacking in virtue, to discredit His Majesty like this, and then arrest a few guys who spread rumors and make troubles to sacrifice to heaven.

Zhu Di snuggled up on the chair with a cold expression, his eyes flickered, and he continued: “I have never been able to figure it out. Although I am not lenient, I have not raised any big prisons. None of the people I have killed It’s not that there are facts, but you and the others ridicule and sarcasm everywhere, making troubles day and night.”

“But Meng Yuan slaughtered the world and ruled it for only a hundred years, but the population of the provinces in the world has dropped by more than half, and there are even state capitals where ten rooms are empty, blood flows into rivers, and people are livestock, but you are always thinking about it.” It’s okay to regard him as Zhengshuo, but he all regards himself as a Yuan minister.”

The old man snorted coldly, but didn’t say a word.

Zhu Di took a deep look at the old man: “What are your so-called ancestors? I didn’t say anything bad about him in the past. Let’s just say your ancestor Wu Cheng. Your ancestor is called the University of Neo-Confucianism. Minister, people all over the world say that he is Zhu Xi’s direct disciple, and that he has made Zhu Xi’s knowledge great. In this Neo Confucianism, there must always be monarch, minister, minister, father, father and son.”

“But when the Song Dynasty perished, your ancestor Wu Cheng, under the banner of Confucianism, also excitedly went out to serve as an official for the Mongols. What did you say that a loyal minister does not serve as the second master, but what did your ancestor Wu Cheng do?”

Zhu Di laughed, with an inexplicable sneer.

The old man was furious again when he heard that Zhu Di spoke bluntly about his ancestors. He was about to speak when a school captain saw this and stepped forward to slap him.

He let out a heck, and then it was hard to say anything.

Zhu Di looked at the old man coldly, and continued: “Speaking of which, your ancestor Wu Cheng, as a Song official, voted for the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, but because he was utterly loyal, he was a good official, and he was also extremely loyal, so he ordered him to serve as the emperor of Linchuan County. Even after his death, he was posthumously named ‘Wenzheng Gong’ by the Yuan court.”

“Look…” Speaking of this, Zhu Di stood up, and continued: “Look at such a traitor, he was named a nobleman and posthumously named Wenzheng. It is really an eye-opener for your Wu family to receive this honor.”

The old man opened his mouth hard: “Ancestor… ancestor…”

Zhu Di yelled sharply: “The old dog was favored by the emperor of the Song Dynasty, but he did his best to flatter him and became a running dog of the new dynasty. Did I say something wrong?”

The old man sneered and was about to argue.

Zhu Di said again: “And your father! Isn’t your father also famous? Your father Wu Dang is also known as a great Confucianist in Confucianism. We are officials, and the officials go to the central government to serve as a doctor, and the Jiangxi province is a political affairs counselor. Is there anything wrong with that?”

The old man snorted coldly.

Zhu Di said: “At that time, there was a war in Jiangxi, and the common people rose up one after another to rebel against the violent Yuan. Your father was in the court because he was from Jiangxi, and your Wu family has long been deeply rooted in Jiangxi. All the old students and old officials are in Jiangxi. Right, so order your father to lead the army together with the Tartar Huo Youchi to appease Jiangxi.”

“Speaking of which, your Wu family’s prestige is indeed great, so wherever your father led troops, gentry from all over the country came to help. In just one or two years, all the people who rose up in Jiangxi were all taken care of by your father. Either appease, or suppress. In just a few years, Jiangxi has put down the rebellion.”

At this time, Zhu Di also had to admit the influence of the Wu family.

This kind of influence is extremely terrifying. It can even be said that the reason why Neo-Confucianism flourished in the late Song Dynasty and the Yuan Dynasty is inseparable from the ancestors of the Wu family. The status of a great Confucian immediately made Yuan Ting feel like a treasure, so not only was he conferred a title, but he also made the Wu family officials for generations.

Scholars on the right side of Jiang, if they want to become an official, which one does not need to befriend the Wu family? You must know that there were almost no channels for imperial examinations in the Yuan Dynasty, and the appointment and dismissal of official positions was very capricious, which directly led to the entire Jiangyou.

As the grandson of Wu Cheng, Wu Dang, as soon as he returned to Jiangxi, immediately won the support of all the gentry, large and small, on the right side of Jiangxi.

However, Zhu Di changed the subject and laughed again.

This time, Zhu Di laughed until he burst into tears: “However, a loyal dog like your father made such great contributions to the Tartars, but because of his great service, he suffered from the Tartars who also raised troops to suppress them.” Huo Youchi was jealous, then Huo Youchi killed your father’s officials directly in front of your father, and even wrote a letter of impeachment, falsely accused your father, and even your father was dismissed from office. These… there must be some .”

The old man snorted again, but did not refute.

At this time, Zhu Di showed an unbelievable look, and continued: “After that, your father was worried and angry, until Chen Youliang occupied Jiangxi, and heard your father’s name, and wanted to conscript your father as an official, but your father refused. That’s all right. Well, your father made great contributions to the Tartars. The person who was finally dismissed not only did not accept Chen Youliang’s conquest, but also sent someone to conscript your father when the imperial examination became a great treasure. Your father still refused, saying that loyal ministers are not It’s the second thing.”

Zhu Di walked slowly with his hands behind his back, and continued: “Your grandfather and your father are so shameless to the extreme, they acted like lackeys, killing people everywhere for the Tartars, and whitewashing them. But turn your head , can still talk about the so-called monarchs, ministers, fathers and sons, talk about the common people in the world, and talk about benevolence and righteousness!”

The old man was eager to refute, so he said: “The ancestor of the family entered the Yuan court to continue the seeds of scholars, for the sake of etiquette and righteousness, if you don’t follow the order, you will be harmed by others.”

Zhu Di’s face turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: “But what about your father? A cunning and indiscriminate murderer like Chen Youliang failed to conquer your father, and even if he didn’t do anything to your father, he still maintained his etiquette. But Huang Kao saw you My father refused to go out of the mountain, and in the end he was not disturbed by anyone, and even ordered the local officials to maintain the courtesy to your Wu family.”

“Over the years, the imperial court has treated your Wu family with utmost benevolence and righteousness. But you still regard yourself as Yuan ministers. What’s the reason? It’s because…you acted as lackeys of the Tartars, killing my Han people for them, and whitewashing the peace. , if you don’t follow, the Tartars will really kill you. As for Chen Youliang and Huang Kao, you know they won’t kill you, so you dare to be the so-called loyal ministers of the Tartars?”

The old man said angrily: “Nonsense!”

Zhu Di said: “Is it nonsense? In fact, it doesn’t matter anymore. I am not determined to forgive you for the rest of your sins. Speaking of it, I and Huang Kao are respectful to you, but what I got in exchange is you people pointing at you. Huang Kao and Zhen’s noses are cruel and inhumane. If this is the case, then… I have to follow the example of the Tartars.”

The old man said: “Ridiculous, ridiculous…”

Zhu Di yelled: “No need to say more, come… Detain them, search their family, and kill them one by one. In front of this old dog, after beheading each one, cut him into pieces , Open up the coffins of his grandfather and father, who are running dogs, and kill them all, leaving no one behind!”

After hearing this, the old man opened his eyes angrily, and shouted: “Zhu Di, Zhu Di…you will be punished.”

Zhu Di didn’t even look at the old man again, and the school captain carried him out.

He still shouted in his mouth: “You, the dog emperor, will not die well.”

Zhu Di turned a deaf ear to it, until the sound got farther and farther, Zhu Di just took a look at Liu Rong and Xu Qi who were still prostrate and trembling on the ground.

Zhu Di said: “They… are also like this, and all the people involved in this matter are also like this. Their… good life is enough. After hundreds of years of good life, isn’t it enough? Stay In this world, it is of no benefit to the people of the world, so it is better to kill them all.”

Soon, a group of captains rushed forward like tigers and wolves.

Xu Qi and Liu Rong both kowtowed in horror and shouted: “Your Majesty… I will die.”

Zhu Di ignored it and just sneered.

He put his hands behind his back, not looking at the two of them, and they were soon taken into custody.

For a long time, Zhu Di still stood still, without moving a bit of his body.

Seeing this, Zhang Anshi cautiously said: “Your Majesty… calm down…”

Zhu Di turned his back to Zhang Anshi, and said: “I am not angry. Today I have uncovered these traitors who rebelled against the party. I am too happy to be happy.”

Zhang Anshi stopped talking.

But Zhu Di suddenly opened his mouth and said: “Sometimes the world is so unsatisfactory! You see, the people of the Wu family are clearly the executioners of the Tartars who slaughtered Jiang You, and they are the first-class traitors in the world. But in the eyes of the world, But they regard them as loyal ministers. Their fame is admired by thousands of people. When everyone talks about them, they will envy their knowledge and praise their strength of character. Do you know the grandfather and father of this old dog? How famous is it?”

Zhang Anshi said truthfully: “I… don’t know about scholars, I don’t know much.”

Zhu Di smiled and said: “I also heard about it when I was studying, and when I mentioned them, all of them were praised. It’s just that I had some doubts in my heart at that time, but at that time, I only thought about bowing. Ma, I don’t bother to study these things in detail.”

Zhu Di paused, then continued: “It is rumored that when his grandfather and father were officials, every time he was ordered to return to Jiangyou, Jiangyou Confucian scholars, no matter which prefecture or county they were, rushed to pay their respects, so that the roads were congested and the city It is already difficult to walk at the gate. Everyone can be proud to see his grandfather and father. And his father, as long as he comes to the right side of the river on the order of the Tartar emperor, he will immediately get tens of thousands recruited by local gentry and scholars. Army horse, pacify Jiangyou! Zhang Qing, this is the generation that the world admires.”

Zhu Di said not without envy: “They come from a famous family, and they can win the hearts of the world with only one scripture. But on the other hand, Huang Kao, the commoner rebelled, and ruled the world with one action, but they were still cast aside by such people! At that time, many scholars read a lot of scriptures in vain because they had no way to seek official positions, but they were not allowed to become officials. In the Yuan court, even if the Tartars could not read big characters, it was easy for them to steal high positions.”

Speaking of this, he sighed faintly, and then continued: “But the emperor opened the imperial examination, won a lot of Jinshi and Juren, and made scholars all over the world serve as officials with articles. Even if they don’t win Jinshi or Juren, they may be famous , and was given courteous and preferential treatment, but now it seems that…he was called a lowly person instead, as far as I think of it so far, it is really hateful.”

Zhang Anshi was not immune to his emotions at this time, and his heart became a little gloomy. He thought for a while and said, “Your Majesty, could it be because…the court gave too much.”

After Zhu Di heard this, he couldn’t help looking back at Zhang Anshi, and suddenly laughed.

The haze in his heart seemed to be swept away, and then he said: “I’m just complaining, you bastard…”

There was a bit of loneliness in Zhu Di’s eyes. In fact… as long as you don’t provoke him, facing these scholars… he is still willing to give preferential treatment. What he hates is that these people take advantage of him and jump around shamelessly. scold him.

It’s okay to scold him, but he even cheated him of money, making him the emperor’s rebellion.

When his thoughts came to this point, Zhu Di remembered another important matter, and said: “Take the account book and go to correct one by one. In short, don’t let anyone who took my money in the account book, and all of them ransacked the house! They don’t like to occupy me. Is it cheap? My money is so easy to earn? Then I will teach them a good lesson, and today in the coming year, I will ask people to burn more yellow paper for them.”

Seeing Zhu Di angrily ordering, Zhang Anshi also said seriously: “Yes.”

At this time, someone hurried in and said, “Your Majesty, Liu Guan, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, asks to see you.”

Zhu Di frowned upon hearing the word Liu Guan, and snorted coldly: “That wimp?”

The visitor was stunned for a moment, unable to understand what Zhu Di meant.

Is this seen or not?

Seeing this person froze in place.

Zhu Di said with a sullen face, “Call me in.”

“yes.”

A moment later, Liu Guan came in with a bruised nose and swollen face, and ragged clothes.

When Zhang Anshi saw him, seeing his embarrassed appearance, he couldn’t help feeling a little bit suspicious.

This guy… Could it be that he did it himself?
