Chapter 269 Apocalypse's Revenge: In front of the rebellious minister, kill his son!
It was Zhang Gui who yelled this.
Zhang Gui said at this time: "Your Majesty, the banditry in Shandong was instigated by these people, mainly Wang Xiangchun and Sun Zhixie. Please keep one of them, and give him a chance to make meritorious deeds. This will also allow Xia Yunyi to solve the banditry as soon as possible after going to Shandong." , so as not to delay the implementation of the New Deal.”
After hearing this, Tian Qi felt that it was very reasonable, and said: "Then you choose one of these two."
"Uncle Guo!"
Sun Zhixie cried out first, then kowtowed to Zhang Gui, and said, "Give the criminals this opportunity to commit crimes and make meritorious service! The criminals are willing to do your best for you!"
"Uncle Guo!"
Seeing this, Wang Xiangchun hurriedly knelt down, and said anxiously, "The criminals are the same!"
Chen Zizhuang, who was also here, was quite speechless when he saw this: "It's the second place anyway, can you have some backbone."
Apocalypse was also speechless after reading it.
But he had already promised Zhang Gui, and he didn't intend to take back his previous words.
Zhang Gui thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty, I will give Wang Xiangchun this opportunity."
Wang Xiangchun laughed happily after hearing this.
Sun Zhixie was very disappointed, he couldn't help crawling towards Zhang Gui, and begged Zhang Gui, "Uncle Guo, why is this! He Wang Xiangchun is obviously more hateful than my minister! You don't know, he is here How did you scold you behind your back, unlike criminals who never dare to scold you, Uncle Guo."
"He is even more hateful! Uncle Guo! He is really more hateful! He actually secretly wrote notes to slander you! The most criminals are just a little bit poisonous, but criminals never write notes to smear you!"
Wang Xiangchun hastily defended himself.
In order to reduce the crime, Wang Xiangchun is also fighting now.
Sun Zhixie also hated Wang Xiangchun because of this: "Wang Xiangchun! You son of a bitch, if you don't write it, you obviously dare not!"
"Sun Zhixie, don't insist anymore, I chose Wang Xiangchun because he was born in second place."
Zhang Gui said: "Now you are convinced."
Sun Zhixi pursed his lips and said, "Uncle Guo, please think again."
Zhang Gui said: "Don't think about it!"
Zhang Gui did not choose Sun Zhixie, naturally there is a deeper reason, that is, Sun Zhixie is a bastard. In history, in order to please the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, he took the initiative to ask for an order to shave his hair. It is not shameless.
That's why Zhang Gui would not choose Sun Zhixie.
Tianqi saw this and said: "Then don't deal with Wang Xiangchun for the time being, and give him a chance to commit crimes and make meritorious deeds."
Wang Xiangchun kowtowed with joy at this time: "Uncle Guo, thank you Your Majesty, criminals must behave well!"
So, next, Wang Duo, Huo Weihua, and Sun Zhixie were first taken to the execution ground to receive Ling Chi's execution.
His people were also brought in.
In order to relieve the hatred in his heart, and to allow people like Wang Duo to see how his relatives were killed, he specially ordered Wang Duo to watch the scene of his own son being executed before being executed.
Shua!
Wang Duo's eldest son was beheaded on the spot.
Wang Duo was shocked when he saw this scene.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Duo saw his second son being escorted over.
Shua!
But it is useless for Wang Duo to shout now, and his second son was also decapitated.
Shua!
Sun Zhixie also had to watch his descendants being chopped off one by one at this time, and his heart ached like twisting.
Less gossip.
When Wang Duo and others were executed, Wu Youke was appointed by Tianqi as the judge of the Taiyuan Hospital because he dared to tell the truth and made great contributions in diagnosing and treating the prince.
Wang Dezhen was posthumously awarded the title of Eunuch Bingbi because of his loyalty and respect.
Although this series of incidents made Tianqi feel impatient and restless for a time, but now that everything has come to light and all the principal and accomplices have been arrested except King Yi, Tianqi has more confidence in the implementation of the New Deal, because the facts have proved that It is true that the New Deal has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and gradually many people have turned to support the New Deal, especially ordinary people in the middle and lower classes.
Zhang Gui also had to admit that after he flapped his wings as a butterfly, although the intensity of political struggles inside Daming had increased, the temperature between people inside had also increased, and some people began to choose to use their lives to protect what he brought. coming change.
Therefore, Zhang Gui is not worried about how much chaos will be caused by the further reform of the New Deal, because people's hearts are complicated, and people who rely on the New Deal to increase their interests will eventually be the majority.
In Zhang Gui's view, the problem that needs to be solved now is nothing more than the Liao affair and the many powerful and powerful gentry who are unwilling to lose their interests, especially those local tyrants who seem to be like "earth emperors".
The Liao incident actually did not pose much threat to Daming.
The strength of the Jurchen in Jianzhou has been greatly reduced, and even the strength of the Mongolian tribes outside the Guan Dynasty has been greatly reduced. It will be difficult to recover their vitality within twenty or thirty years.
As for Liao generals such as Zu Dashou, it is not a good choice whether they rebel, become kings on their own, or seek refuge as slaves.
Because of the influence of the climate of the Little Glacier, it is extremely cold outside the customs.
The food, grass and military supplies of these Liao generals are all supplied by the interior, and the imperial court has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, of which tens of thousands of soldiers and horses are still watching in southern Liaoning, so whether they rebel or become kings on their own, it is equivalent to cutting off their lives .
As for taking refuge in Jiannu, Jiannu obviously may not be able to support so many Liao people.
After all, in Jiannu’s life, because there was no blood transfusion from Shanxi merchants, and the slaughter and looting failed, his own life was very difficult, and the internal class conflicts became increasingly intensified, so there was no money left to support the Liao people.
Therefore, at this time, Tian Qi said to Zhang Gui after announcing the destruction of Wang Duo and other ten clans: "The Liao matter is not difficult to solve. The more important thing now is my brother, King Yi. If he really unites Jiangxi If the gentry raises troops and then instigates the Zhejiang gentry, it will not be good if it destroys my wealth in the southeast of Daming."
"What Your Majesty said is that these southern dignitaries and gentry have strong financial resources and control a large population. It is indeed easy to destroy the foundation of the entire Ming Dynasty. But they also have disadvantages!"
"Speak!"
Apocalypse nodded.
"The disadvantage is that the more people there are, the more inconsistent their hearts will be, and the richer the place, the greater the gap between the rich and the poor, and it will be more difficult to be united. Besides, the court has not been unprepared for the army of the princes and gentry these years. After all, King Lu Yin Jian is not far away from the army. Therefore, I have already made some preparations by taking advantage of my relationship as the son-in-law of the gentry in eastern Zhejiang. If Your Majesty is really worried, I am willing to go south to Zhejiang. In this way, even if there is chaos in Jiangxi, it will only be chaos in one province. It will not affect Zhezhi."
Zhang Gui said.
After hearing this, Tian Qi said: "In that case, you should still go as a supervisor, and by the way, go to Shandong to deal with the banditry, and must bring that man named Hou Liu to justice! I will let you supervise Shandong and Nanzhi Li, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Fujian provinces, to completely resolve the Jiangxi chaos that will occur, and wait for the Jiangxi chaos to be resolved. Solve the Liao incident!"
"yes!"
In April of the eighth year of Tianqi, when Fangfei was about to end, Zhang Gui took Wang Xiangchun and others to leave Beijing and head south.
Among them, Wang Xiangchun came to Shandong in advance, and used his secret contact information with Hou Liu to invite Hou Liu to meet him.
Hou Liu didn't know that Wang Xiangchun had come to arrest him on behalf of the imperial court, so when he saw Wang Xiangchun, he just said, "Why do you come to see me again, Mr. Shiqiao has any orders?"
Wang Xiangchun said: "There is no order, but some things should come to an end."
As soon as Wang Xiangchun finished speaking, gunshots came from outside, Hou Liu's bodyguard was killed on the spot, and then a team of Guards officers rushed in.
Wang Xiangchun quickly retreated behind the guards at this time.
Hou Liu was shocked when he saw this, and looked at Wang Xiangchun: "My lord, you betrayed me!"
