Chapter 57 Disposal

Jiannu was destroyed, the world was peaceful, the guests from all directions came to worship, and all countries came to pay tribute. Emperor Chongzhen felt very satisfied. In just over ten years ascended the throne, he achieved the dream of "tidying up the old mountains and rivers". Now the border troops are advancing outward, striving to expand the territory of the Ming Dynasty. Even the Royal Navy of the Ming Dynasty has set out to America to find the legendary wandering overseas residents of the Shang Dynasty, ready to return to China.

As for the domestic planting of several high-yield crops, the people no longer have to worry about not having enough food. Even good grains have been fed to pigs because of too much output. It is really a disaster for those who enjoy it. Today, the Ming Dynasty has completely reappeared the grand scene of "both public and private warehouses and warehouses" in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

When the emperor did this like Chongzhen, he basically didn't have to pursue anything anymore. His knowledge of literature and martial arts can be regarded as far away from the Han and Tang dynasties. Therefore, Emperor Chongzhen also decided to find fun on the Beihai Lake in the capital, and called several famous juggling teams in the capital to perform for himself and the queen and others to have fun.

The juggling team in front of me tried their best, such as blasting fire in their mouths, swallowing swords, and performing various performances. Fireworks bloomed in the distant night sky. What else do I feel dissatisfied with?

Just as Chongzhen and the Queen were watching the previous performance with all their heart, a sudden change occurred.

In the juggling team ahead, someone suddenly pulled out his hidden sword and rushed straight to Chongzhen, shouting: "Dog Emperor, come on your life!"

Chongzhen was shocked and hurriedly pulled the queen back quickly. Fang Zhenghua, who was accompanying the side, rushed forward to stop the assassin.

At this time, the Jinyiwei who was on guard in the distance also found something wrong. They all pulled out the Xiuchun sword and rushed to protect the car. But they didn't expect to be stopped by a group of people who suddenly rushed out, and the two sides started fighting in front of Chongzhen.

The furious Chongzhen shouted at the assassins in front of him who were killing Fang Zhenghua step by step and asked, "Who are you waiting for? Are you not afraid of killing the nine clans?"

The assassin in the lead was a strong man. He was about twenty years old, but he spat and said angrily: "Nine Clans?! My Nine Clans have been killed by you, the dog emperor! Do you still remember the Zhou Clans, which were killed by you twelve years ago, and the Hou Clans are all over the family? Today I will avenge this irreconcilable revenge!" The assassin, who became more and more brave, actually killed Fang Zheng on the spot.

Since Chongzhen had only Fang Zhenghua's guard beside him, the ones close were pulled by others, and there was no resistance to the assassin for a moment. Chongzhen had to watch the sharp sword in the assassin's hand stabbed into his heart, and Chongzhen was so shocked that he shouted, "Ah!"

Chongzhen, who suddenly woke up, wiped off the cold sweat from his forehead, but found that it was just a big dream. In fact, the scene was very close to Fang Shiyu, a movie he had watched in his previous life. I think it was because he thought about something on the day and dreamed about something on the night.

The queen, who was awakened by Chongzhen's shouting, quickly got up and put the quilt on Chongzhen, fearing that Chongzhen would catch a cold.

Fang Zhenghua and the Jinyiwei lieutenants who were on duty outside the door hurriedly pushed the door and entered, and the weapons in their hands had already been pulled out, ready to fight. However, seeing that Chongzhen had already put on his clothes and there were no assassins in the bedroom, the crowd hurriedly knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I am guilty and disturb Your Majesty, and I will die!"

Chongzhen, who was awakened by a nightmare, said angrily: "Issued the Jinyiwei Xu Xianchun, the Eastern Factory Admiral Cao Huachun, the Western Factory Admiral Wei Zhongxian, and the Sili Supervisor Wang Chengen came to see me!"

When several people rushed to Chongzhen's bedroom, Chongzhen had already changed into clothes and was drinking tea, but the shock and anger on his face could not be concealed.

Wang Chengen, who is the most trusted by Chongzhen, plucked up his courage to ask: "Your Majesty, I'm sorry to send a slave and a servant to come late at night, I wonder what happened?"

Chongzhen summoned these people to come, and wanted to directly eradicate the older ones who were pardoned today, but the words were just to the point where the ordinary people in the future had the upper hand, but they could not say it.

Sighing, Chongzhen said, "I just had a nightmare. In the dream, the children who were pardoned today came to assassinate Yu I when they grew up.

I called you here, and I thought I would let you get rid of the roots. But I wasn't so cruel after all. Forget it, wait and let it go."

Several people looked at each other but did not leave. Wei Zhongxian took a step forward and bowed and said, "The emperor, but he should really get rid of the roots. Among those children, the oldest is ten years old, and he will definitely remember what happened today when he grows up. If he is grateful, he will just fall apart. If his mind is not right, I am afraid, he will be like his Majesty's dream."

Chongzhen said, "Forget it, after all, they are some children. So what if they kill them? I don't know how to assassinate me."

Xu Xianchun also said, "Your Majesty, I think I can't stay. Since Your Majesty is kind and does not want to commit more killings, you might as well send those women and children aged five or older to the prison camp in Mao Wenlong, Dongjiang, and order them to serve with the army to atone for their sins.

As for young people, they can be trained by the factory guards. Since children under five years old have no memories, as long as they can survive, they are the most loyal sword among the factory guards. Originally, the factory guards wanted to add a group of children this year, but now they just stuff them in."

Wang Chengen also said: "Your Majesty, I also think that Lord Xu is saying very much. After all, cutting the grass will not remove the roots, and the spring breeze will blow. Since Your Majesty is kind and wants to give them a way to live, it may be a good idea to do what Lord Xu said, which is a solution."

Chongzhen was confused. What can children in the next generation understand? Family enemies? Can children remember their playful age? But then I thought about it, people in the Ming Dynasty generally puberty, even those who got married at the age of thirteen or fourteen were everywhere. What if someone really came to assassinate in the future?

In the end, after all, the idea of ​​dying fellow Taoists was the best. Chongzhen gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it." Just follow what Xu Aiqing said. Wang Chengen planned an edict to send all the criminals to Liaodong prison camps, and ordered them to make meritorious service. Children aged three or under should be kept in the Jinyiwei for training, so that they can serve the country when they become adults."

After this incident, Chongzhen finally became hardened and forced himself not to think about the miserable scenes of the separation of mother and son. Instead, he asked Xu Xianchun: "Last time when Jiannu besieged the city, Liu Xingzuo was going to return to the Ming Dynasty, but what happened now?"

Because the Ming Dynasty always believed that Liaodong was the land of the Ming Dynasty and Jiannu was just a rebellion, Liaodong was still investigated by the Jinyiwei people, and the Dongchang did not interfere in the Liaodong affairs.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xianchun hurriedly bowed and replied: "Your Majesty, for the current news, Liu Xingzuo has returned to Dongjiang with General Mao Wenlong and can return at any time. I am about to send someone to contact you this time."

Chongzhen said: "Since that's the case, I will choose another hundred households and go with these prisoners."

Xu Xianchun bowed and accepted the order and said, "I obey the order."
