Chapter 398 The ruler wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!(1/2)
In front of Gongbei Building.
His Majesty the Emperor looked at the rolling smoke in the palace with meaningful eyes.
Finally, it was inevitable to get a fire!
The imperial palace in the capital was burned, and the imperial palace in Yingtian was burned. Now the imperial palace in Guangzhou is still burned.
At this moment, everyone around him was also looking at the ignited palace, where thick smoke rolled into the sky, and the flames in the smoke were dancing like a demon dragon, as if they were shouting wildly...
"Your Majesty, the rebels of the palace are setting fires. I would like to ask Your Majesty to visit the mountains and rivers for a while."
Xu Fuyuan shouted to the emperor below from Gongbei Tower.
"I would like to ask Your Majesty to be glad to the mountains and rivers."
Qu Daxiang and others shouted in unison.
By the way, they are now condescending. Their salutes and shouts are not like salutes, but more like demonstrations against His Majesty the Emperor. Of course, they have absolutely no disrespect to His Majesty the Emperor, mainly because at this time, there are crowds of people around Gongbei Tower. Even if they think of Yulu's favor in front of him, they can't do it. They can't jump off the three-meter-high city platform, right?
In short, don't pay attention to these details in this special situation.
His Majesty the Emperor smiled and turned around, looking at these noble ministers, who were also looking at him, the king and his ministers were facing each other from afar, and everything was silent.
Then……
His Majesty the Emperor raised the trumpet.
"I am the emperor, do I speak in a good manner?"
He yelled.
"yes!"
The imperial camp next to him was the first to shout.
Because he speaks Cantonese, only the Imperial Camp is a native of Guangdong.
Although these imperial camps were selected from the new army, after the previous battles, they had completely become loyal ministers of His Majesty the Emperor.
The emperor's promise of wealth is one aspect, and more importantly, his magic cannon has already made soldiers awe.
After all, he is an emperor. An emperor can personally bring soldiers to fight, and is so brave. That is enough to make these soldiers with serious superstitious thoughts truly believe that he is the true dragon emperor, just like Li Shimin who rushed forward with the Xuanjia Army, it is enough to make the soldiers devote themselves to him. At this time, let alone the council, it is probably even if the elders tied up their families to threaten them, these soldiers would not betray them.
The true dragon emperor!
Following the True Dragon Emperor can be a god.
There are many sacrifices in Guangdong, many of which are loyal ministers and righteous men.
Don't the soldiers want to?
Can these be combined with the glory and wealth of living, the shade of descendants, and the name of loyalty and righteousness after death, not enough can offset the gentry's power? This is what the emperor and the true dragon emperor have proved to them with their actions. In this era of serious superstitious thoughts, in the hearts of these soldiers with serious superstitious thoughts, this is worthy of their loyalty and can make them die for it.
What can the gentry give them?
What the gentry can give them, the emperor can give them, and even more.
But what the emperor could give them was not allowed by the gentry.
"yes!"
"The emperor's words are golden and jade!"
...
Then the people led by the initial civil servants shouted.
Of course, they longed for the emperor to speak with his words and fulfilled his previous promises. His Majesty the Emperor did not stop and continue to incite him along the way.
Anyway, it is because of the generous gifts of others. As long as the Emperor survives this level, he will not care about anything. After that, the people will throw out all the people like and rewards. Now they have reached the city's total male 5 taels, tax-free, and the two counties of Nanhai and Panyu are exempted from land tax for five years. As for fulfilling the money, there is no need to consider it. In fact, the emperor has a clear idea. As long as there are enough house searches, his promises are not a problem. Besides, there are not enough house searches and there are also merchants from Macau, so it is okay to ask the Portuguese to help with the salary.
The emperors who have long known the world are very clear about what the Ming trade means to them.
Just change people without paying!
The Dutch in Southeast Asia were watching the Ming Dynasty's trade.
What's more, once the Guangdong gentry is dealt with, and the real control of power and the army can also make Fujian gentry pay.
It is impossible for these guys to stay out of the matter.
Even some militia groups were shouting.
They all reached a hundred taels per person. With such a high reward, the gentry's teachings had long been thrown out of the sky.
For a moment, it seemed to be powerful.
The emperor raised his head and continued to look at the Gonggugong on the Gongbei Tower.
The latter still has no awareness...
They have enough confidence, or they ignore these military and civilians at all.
They were the masters of this land for generations, and when the imperial power was not inferior to the county, these aristocratic families in Lingnan were the real local emperors.
Even the modern Lingnan clan is very powerful.
They controlled the place for too long and would not care about these lower classes. In their eyes, the latter was really like pigs and sheep. So what if the militia followed and shouted a few times, weren’t they eating the gentry’s meals? Is their military pay not issued by the Council? Did their families not cultivate the land of the elders or work in the factories of the elders?
Everything is in control.
Why worry about them betraying the elders?
"Then I am here today to speak the word of gold and jade. Can you follow the order?"
Wanli shouted.
"The people follow the order!"
"The villain follows the order!"
...
The military and civilians continued to shout.
Wanli nodded with satisfaction, and then he pointed to Gongbei Tower...
"Catch them!"
He said.
Then there was a silence in an instant.
The princes looked at him with interest.
The soldiers and civilians looked at each other and even whispered, but no one acted, and they were just watching the emperor and his ministers at a loss.
It is obvious that I can shout, but I still dare not take action.
"Your Majesty, the old me dare to ask Your Majesty, what is the crime of me and others?"
He Weihai asked calmly.
At the same time, on the buildings on both sides of the street, a large number of new soldiers appeared on the roofs, and they all set up turtle dove guns, aiming all the guns at the Imperial Street. However, they were definitely not aiming at the emperor. This was to avoid the rebels being mixed in the crowd, so they came to take warning in advance. Yes, surely yes, how could the new army aim at Your Majesty? Your Majesty is the Emperor, Your Majesty is the Emperor, Your Majesty is the Emperor, Your Majesty is the Emperor...
"I am the emperor. If the emperor wants his ministers to die, he has to die. What's more, the rebels in the city are causing chaos. The rebels have delayed and have not arrested any rebels. Naturally, I suspect that the rebels have colluded with the rebels and want to take down the interrogation first to return the innocence of the rebels. Since he regards himself as a loyal minister and has a clear conscience, why should he be afraid of this?"
The emperor said.
"If the army wants me to die, I have to die. I am confused. I shouldn't ask so much, so I can only wait for the crime."
He Weihai said with a smile.
Then he seemed to be surrendering, stretched his hands forward and waited for someone to go up and tie him up.
The guards beside the emperor immediately stepped forward, but at the same time, the soldiers of the Beijing camp downstairs under the Gongbei Tower quickly formed a dense wall of human beings under the scolding of the officers, and the turtle dove guns were raised in their hands, and the spears moved forward. The dense infantry formations completed the protection of the Gongbei Tower. Muzzles were directly aimed at the guards, and the dense spear blades were blocked in front of them. Even the fuse clamps were blown up. Obviously, with a command, these guards even the emperors not far behind would be sieved.
"Is this the case for loyal ministers?"
Wanli said.
"Your Majesty, I'm waiting for the crime!"
He Weiye said with his hands stretched out and his face sincerely.
"I'm just waiting for the crime!"
Then Xu Fuyuan and others also stretched out their hands and shouted to His Majesty the Emperor.
Each one is equally sincere.
As a loyal minister!
If the king wants his minister to die, his minister has to die!
What's more, just arrested.
Therefore, loyal ministers cannot resist or ask why, they just have to reach out and wait for the emperor to capture. This is the real loyal minister. But these soldiers and civilians cannot watch the loyal ministers be captured, so they are like the people of Suzhou at the age of nine thousand years, and they rise up to protect the loyal ministers. What are the few guards? The Jinyiwei can beat them to death. This can only prove that the people know loyalty and righteousness, and the people's eyes are sharp and will not let loyal ministers be wronged.
The new soldiers continued to block the guards.
The military and civilians behind continued to be at a loss and watched the scene at a loss.
However……
To be continued...
