Chapter 171 The crime is heinous, kneel down and die! (1200 are added)
"The ten clan descendants of the Tang Dynasty were all killed!"
"Hundreds of Confucian scholars in Tang Palace were also shot!"
"The king of Tang died in fear. Only his son Zhu Qiqi and Wang Zisun were imprisoned before and did not participate in it, so they survived."
Half a month later, Prince Lu's Mansion.
The head of the palace, Shi Huang Xinlong, was telling Lu Wang Zhu Changhao the news he had just learned.
And Zhu Changhao was very surprised after hearing this: "Why, his Uncle Zhang Guo hacked Fu Wang to death, and even killed dozens of clan children in the Tang Palace! What should we do?"
"Your Highness, don't you understand, this piece of expensive is changing the way to cut the feudal clan!"
Confucian official Qin Lixin followed up.
"Cutting down the feudal clan?"
Zhu Changhao asked in surprise.
"That's right! Tianqi, a mean and ungrateful king, now thinks that the clans of His Highness occupy the world too much, and he is unwilling to support them as before. He clearly wants the clans to support themselves and also pay for the court. In fact, Secretly, they have the purpose of using various excuses to destroy the clan!"
Huang Xinlong followed suit.
Ding Qirui, the magistrate of Wei Hui, who was also here, also said: "Your Highness, the royal tomb built by your mansion is already suspected of usurping, so he, Uncle Zhang Guo, will not worry about not having the means to clean up your mansion! Therefore, Your Highness and King Zhou is different, His Highness can only oppose now!"
"This is inappropriate! How dare Gu rebel!"
Zhu Changhao hurriedly waved his hands.
"Your Highness! Are you really planning to sit and wait for death?!"
Huang Xinlong hurriedly asked.
Zhu Changhao said: "But if the rebellion is defeated, they will be beheaded!"
"Your Highness, you can't escape anyway, why don't you risk your life! Besides, you have no other choice now, Your Highness."
Qin Lixin followed suit.
Zhu Changhao still hesitated, and couldn't help asking: "Is there no other way?"
"have!"
Ding Qirui replied at this time.
Zhu Changhao said: "Please enlighten me!"
Ding Qirui said: "That is, I will kill Your Highness now, dedicate your head to Uncle Zhang Guo, and say that you are plotting something wrong! The imperial court will naturally choose to believe it, and will take advantage of the trend to cut off Wang Fan!"
"this…"
Zhu Changhao also sighed after hearing this, and said: "Forget it, let's go against it."
"Your Highness, Shengming!"
Huang Xinlong replied, and then smiled at Qin Lixin and Ding Qirui.
Zhu Changhao has never had any opinions, so he let these Confucian officials control him.
Not long after, Zhu Changhao raised the banner of "Feng Tian Jing Nan", and began to recruit troops in Weihui City to expand the scale of guards.
Ding Qirui, the magistrate of Weihui, took control of Weihui City first because he had already taken refuge in Zhu Changhao, and he also started to start a newspaper in the same way as Xichang did in the capital.
Not long after, Zhu Changhao ordered Jiang Zuoshi, a thousand households under his command, to serve as the commander-in-chief of Jingnan to send troops to Qi County.
You Dingping, the magistrate of Qi County, was assassinated by the gentry in the city who sent Xiangyong before he had time to organize the army and civilians to defend the city.
Then, in the same way, the rebels went down to the five cities of Tangyin, Linxian, Junxian, Anyang, and Cizhou.
The entire Zhangde Mansion was almost entirely in the hands of the rebels.
Obviously, the gentry in these places did not support the new policy of sharing food into the mu and paying the government and gentry as one, and took the initiative to help the rebels capture the corresponding counties.
…
"Prince Lu is rebellious!"
Just when Zhang Gui and Xia Yunyi and his party rushed to Weihui, Zhang Gui learned the news from the urgent report sent by the intelligence personnel of Xichang.
At the same time, he learned from the express delivery sent by the imperial court that Emperor Tianqi was urgently summoning him back to Beijing because of the fact that King Fu was hacked to death due to his treason.
After hearing the news, Zhang Gui first informed Xia Yunyi of King Lu's rebellion.
After hearing this, Xia Yunyi said with a solemn expression: "It seems that fighting is inevitable!"
Zhang Gui nodded and said: "Letting them willingly give up the benefits to the court and the people is to force their difficulties. Now, if they are unwilling to passively accept the loss of benefits, they can only resort to fighting."
As he said that, Zhang Gui said again: "In addition, Your Majesty also sent an urgent message, asking Ben Hou to rush back to the capital immediately, in case he has a detailed understanding of King Fu's situation. Therefore, I have to return to Beijing tomorrow, and the matter of suppressing the rebellion can only I will leave it to you first, your standard battalion, Liu Zhaoji, and the middle and lower level official schools all come from the Armed Forces School, and their combat effectiveness and military discipline are very reliable, which should be able to help you curb the momentum of the rebel army."
Xia Yunyi replied: "Don't worry, Lord Hou! As you said, the rebel army is now relying on the support of the officials and gentry to easily capture the city, but in fact, there are not many soldiers to fight. If they capture one, they will be dismissed as officials." Go to attack one and take the opportunity to destroy the rebel officials! Anyway, His Majesty has granted the subordinate officials the right to act cheaply in advance, let the subordinate officials organize and train the militia, and can appoint alternate officials to temporarily act as state officials. more people will get the land."
Zhang Gui nodded: "That's right! The Marquis previously suggested that His Majesty should reform the official system, increase the examination for selecting officials, and assign aides to various ministries and local chief officials. Therefore, you now have many alternate officials and aides who are waiting to take office. , and all of them are from my Xilin Academy students who support the reform, so I just took this opportunity to let them take charge of the local government, so that the New Deal can be implemented more steadily in Henan! Another thing is to take the opportunity to organize more militias and farms. He has officials in the rebel army We need the support of the gentry, and we have to win the support of the people.”
Xia Yunyi also nodded: "Master Hou, don't worry, as you said, the reform and innovation is not a dinner party. If any of the dignitaries and gentry is dishonest, then we can only mobilize the majority of the common people to teach him a lesson!"
"As long as you understand."
After Zhang Gui said, he looked at Zhu Yujian, who had been established as the heir by the new king of Tang Dynasty: "My son, you and the king of Tang came to Beijing this time to explain to your majesty about the murder of imperial envoys by Zhu Qisong and other clan members. , when the time comes, you will stay in the capital and receive the education of the newly established religious school with other clan children who have entered the capital, but have you chosen any job yourself?"
Zhu Yujian said: "The country's dynasty should be based on agriculture, and I am willing to take agriculture as the foundation and increase food production!"
Zhang Gui nodded and said, "That's not bad!"
The next day, Zhang Gui rushed back to the capital with Zhu Yujian and others.
As soon as he returned to the capital, Zhang Gui had just entered the Daming Gate, when he saw an **** waiting here, and delivered an edict: "There is a decree, the Marquis of Suizhou killed the clan, which is a heinous crime, so after he enters the Daming Gate, take off his saber and all Pistols, and kneel down to die!"
The father and son Zhu Qiqi and Zhu Yujian who came back with Zhang Gui were shocked after hearing this, and couldn't help but look back at Zhang Gui.
Zhang Gui was also taken aback after hearing this.
Seeing this, the **** asked rather dignifiedly: "Why, does the Marquis of Suizhou want to resist the decree?!"
