Chapter 111 If you don't kill Er and other nine clans, it's too much for heaven! Apocalypse angered civil servants!
After Li Chunye, the left servant of the Ministry of War, answered, Tianqi immediately ordered himself: "Take down all these rebellious officials and thieves!"
"Huh?!"
"This voice is so familiar."
"It's His Majesty's voice!"
Suddenly, after Tianqi said this, Li Chunye, the left servant of the Ministry of War, Xu Xigao, Duke of Dingguo, and Gu Bingqian, a scholar, all reacted immediately.
Li Chunye raised his head first, and looked at Tian Qi on the horse in surprise.
He couldn't believe it was real.
"Didn't you say that the rebels are here? How come it's His Majesty!"
Li Chunye passed out not long after thinking this way.
It was really hard for him to accept this result.
Xu Xigao, Gu Bingqian and others were also in a state of confusion for a while, not knowing what to do.
"yes!"
Lu Xiang raised his hand, and the official school of the imperial guard camp had already arrested all the ministers who were kneeling to welcome them.
"You guys are doing well. Last time, you were anxious to establish the king, but this time, you are eager to meet the rebel army of the king's ministers. Why don't you want to see me win?"
Tian Qi had to admit that Zhang Gui was right, there were still many officials wishing him the emperor would be unlucky, and now Zhang Gui’s fishing really caught him.
"It's a pity that I also handed over the city defense of the capital to you! It's nothing more than believing in your loyalty, but in the end, you are defending the city for me like this?"
Tianqi asked this question after scolding, and then shouted: "Lu Xiangsheng, pass on my decree, the guards will take over the city defense, and the capital will be sealed off under martial law! And send troops to arrest all the clansmen of these rebellious officials and thieves!"
"yes!"
"Your Majesty!"
Xu Xigao yelled first, and then said: "Your Majesty, be merciful! You and I are doing this to prevent the people of the capital from being slaughtered by the rebels after the city is broken, and I am even more worried that the crown prince will be brutally killed by the rebels!"
"Your Majesty, as Ding Guogong said, there is nothing I can do about it!"
Xue Lian also argued in the same way.
Gu Bingqian also followed up with the defense and said: "Your Majesty, the ministers and others are all temporary expedient measures. I hope that Your Majesty will learn from you and forgive the crimes of the ministers and others. At least don't offend the ministers and other family members!"
"Your Majesty, the courtiers are really helpless! I beg your Majesty to be merciful once, and don't continue to be too harsh on the courtiers!"
Shuntian Prefecture Governor Liu Zhixuan also followed suit.
Tian Qi sneered: "Do you think I will believe it? Even if it is for the common people, there is no reason to sacrifice the city until the rebel army arrives and don't defend it for a day! You still scold me like this, and the way of monarchs and ministers is ignored so quickly All of you used to be very good at speaking about loyalty, integrity and shame! Why, today, for the sake of the people, you started to demote your father to nothing! In the past, I have never seen you love the people so much! If you don’t punish the nine clans like you, it’s outrageous !"
"Your Majesty!"
Li Chunye, who had already woken up, hurriedly shouted.
Knowing that people like himself have no way to survive now, he simply said directly: "All this today, dare your majesty say that it has nothing to do with your own failure to govern?!"
Tianqi looked at Li Chunye after hearing this.
Li Chunye continued: "Your majesty regards your ministers as worthless, but your ministers regard you as enemies! Your Majesty is mean and ungrateful. He would rather be close to his relatives, eunuchs and even warriors. He has no respect for scholars and bureaucrats. There is no mercy in destroying the family. Severe punishments and harsh laws, harsh treatment of officials and people, have long been the anger of heaven and people. If it were not so, how could the ministers do this!"
"Exactly!"
Liu Zhixuan also agreed, and said: "Your Majesty, you can go and see the attitude of the scholars and people in the city. None of them can't bear the suffering of His Majesty's tyranny, and now they are all like the ministers, and they have to place their hopes on the prince. If we continue to govern the country without benevolence, the Ming Dynasty will perish!"
Tian Qi clenched his fists.
Two strands of evil fire rushed directly from the heels to the forehead.
"Qin will be subjugated by only the second generation because of severe punishment and harsh laws. Please think twice, Your Majesty!"
Gu Bingqian yelled after seeing this.
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice!"
…
These officials all shouted.
After hearing this, Tian Qi couldn't help asking Sun Chengzong, a cabinet scholar who was accompanying him: "Sir, do you feel the same way?"
Sun Chengzong said: "Your Majesty, the sage once said: The emperor is not benevolent, and he will not protect the world."
After Tianqi heard it, he just smiled and said: "The sage said it is reasonable, but I can't help but think of a sentence Zhang Gui said in the past. He said, can the scholar-bureaucrats represent the people of the world? I think it is obviously impossible, sir. .”
Sun Chengzong smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty said so."
"Old Sun Ge! As the emperor's teacher, how can you not remonstrate with the emperor, but let the uncle Zhang Gui and his relatives confuse the emperor with the words of harming the country! Daming has reached this point, and a person in a high position like you only knows how to be wise and protect himself." relation!"
Liu Zhixuan scolded Sun Chengzong angrily when he saw Sun Chengzong say that.
Snapped!
Tian Qi directly gave Liu Zhixuan a whip, and reprimanded him: "I still know how to respect my teacher, but I never scold my husband, so you are worthy of scolding my husband?! You don't abide by the king's law of Ming Dynasty, and you don't respect the rules of etiquette. How rampant it is, what Mr. Sun wants to say, how to say, it is not your turn to teach!"
Liu Zhixuan sneered, and said: "Your Majesty is reprimanding you. But I still say the same thing. Your Majesty may wish to see how much people in the world despise His Majesty, the Son of Heaven. Even if Your Majesty thinks that we cannot represent the opinions of the people of the world, Your Majesty can do so." Take down the banner of the Son of Heaven first, and go into the city to see if there are only ministers and other people kneeling to welcome the righteous teacher!"
"I do as you wish."
Tian Qi replied, and said: "Pass the decree, put the big banner outside the city first, only Mr. Sun and the imperial guard camp will follow me into the city in armor first! In addition, these rebellious officials and thieves will also be escorted!"
Immediately afterwards, Tianqi entered the city with the Imperial Guard Battalion.
At this time, many officials and gentry children in the city were also setting up incense tables, various fruit snacks and fine wine beside the main road, preparing to welcome the army of the king's ministers.
"coming!"
"The righteous teacher is here!"
As soon as one person saw the armored cavalry appear, he immediately ran over, clapped his hands, and shouted.
The officials and gentry in the city immediately organized their children to kneel down, and shouted: "Welcome to the righteous teacher!"
At the same time, many officials and gentry also put out the tablets enshrining the king's ministers, and some of them were very flattering, and even wrote the Wanmin Book.
Tianqi's face really sank when he saw this scene, as if his chest had been hammered hard.
Liu Zhixuan sneered from the side: "Your Majesty has seen it, not only the ministers are dissatisfied, but the common people are also dissatisfied with His Majesty's tyranny!"
Tian Qi ignored Liu Zhixuan, seeing the same behavior among the people, he suddenly asked Sun Chengzong with a heavy heart: "Sir, tell the truth, do I really think this emperor is a failure?"
Sun Chengzong was about to speak.
But at this moment, many bare-footed or bare-footed children ran out from the four alleys: "Your Majesty has returned to Beijing in a big victory! The rebels will not come! The West Factory will not withdraw!"
In addition, there were also many small merchants and peddlers who appeared with loads of goods and ran to the Imperial Guard camp. Because they did not know Tianqi, they took hot biscuits and pastries and shouted to the officials of the Imperial Guard camp: "Military men, try it, you are the emperor's soldiers, don't you all come from the Armed Forces Academy! The emperor is a good emperor, you are good military masters!"
Many small shops also began to open their doors, and put up signs saying: "To celebrate the emperor's return from a great victory, the West Factory will not be withdrawn. Our store is half price today!"
Tian Qi was surprised for a moment: "What's going on, why are there people celebrating my return from a great victory?"
Sun Chengzong was also very surprised.
Liu Zhixuan was full of indignation: "Untouchables! These untouchables are also worthy to reward the army?!"
