Zhu Jinsong looked at Zeng Cheng with a half-smile and asked, "Are you afraid?"

Zeng Cheng was filled with hatred and fear.

More than a thousand scholars surrounded the door of the family of the chief minister of the dynasty, and forced themselves to submit articles for them in the form of begging. What the hell is going on? Did you invite me to pay for your name? Or maybe it was you.

Is this first assistant incompetent?

This is forcing myself, the chief minister of the government, to die!

Also, more than a thousand scholars actually dared to run outside the palace and shout. What's going on? Are they disturbing the Holy Master? Or are they attacking the palace?

Disturbing the Holy Master is an ambiguous crime, and one person or the whole family can be killed, or of course no one is killed; while attacking the palace is tantamount to conspiracy, which is worthy of killing the nine clans. The main thing is how to trial and how to sentence.

The key is, is there anyone instigating these more than a thousand scholars? Is there anyone organizing and planning? How many people are involved behind them?

When Zeng Cheng thought about these messy problems, he felt like a ray of light was hanging down his back.

However, Zhu Jinsong just smiled and shook his head, and ordered: "Inform Ke Zhiming and ask him to send people to capture all these bastards and interrogate them strictly. I really want to see how many monsters and monsters there are in the world!"

Zeng Cheng was startled and couldn't help but bow down and persuade: "Your Majesty, think twice, these are more than a thousand scholars after all. Even though these idiots deserve their death, the implication behind these idiots is too wide. If you are not careful, you will..."

The smile on Zhu Jinsong's face disappeared, and he said with a sneer: "The country of Ming Dynasty does not rely on a few poor and rotten scholars, but 30 million people! No matter how extensive the involvement of these bastards is, how can they still defeat me, Ming Dynasty?"

All thirty million people are involved?"

"These bastards, if even one of them has read the history and political textbooks of the county school or the government school, they will not be able to answer such an unknown test paper, let alone go outside the palace to show it..."

Just at this time, another shout came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, please recall the tax collectors and help the people live in peace!"

"Your Majesty, please reopen the imperial examination!"

"I'm waiting to see the saint!"

"Your Majesty, please come out!"

The look on Zhu Jinsong's face became colder and colder.

How well-behaved these sand sculptures were under my Taqing rule, but now they are so disgusting - they dare not talk to money-deaf old dogs, but they are capable of talking to me, the Ming Emperor?

These scholars are indeed quite capable.

There has been no movement in the temporary palace until now. Outside the temporary palace, the emotions of the scholars are gradually getting excited.

Should we reopen the palace examination? Should we reestablish Yan Shenggong? Should we recall the tax collectors? You, the Ming Emperor, should give the world an explanation, right? What's the point of hiding like this? What are you afraid of?

"Have you seen those Qiu Ba? They haven't dared to move!"

"They feel guilty! Your Majesty also feels guilty!"

"Get out of the way! We want to see His Majesty!"

Seeing that the emotions of these scholars became agitated, and there were even faint signs of breaking into the palace, the expression of Liu Heming, the commander-in-chief of the Chinese Army Governor's Office, could not help but become gloomy. The prefect of Jinan and the magistrate of Licheng were trying hard to maintain order while constantly

Wiping the cold sweat on his forehead.

Until a voice came from the crowd: "Zhu Ni still hasn't come out to admit his mistake!"

Everything seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. The prefect of Jinan and the magistrate of Licheng, who were wiping their sweat, stood blankly on the spot. Liu Heming narrowed his eyes slightly, and all the scholars were also completely stunned.

However, after being dumbfounded, all the scholars raised their arms and shouted together: "Zhu Ni! Admit your mistake! Zhu Ni! Admit your mistake!"

Looking at these scholars who were almost going crazy, Liu Heming's eyes became colder. He raised his right hand and shouted loudly: "Listen to my command! The first row fired a warning shot! The second row is ready!"

As Liu Heming's voice fell, the soldiers in the first row guarding the palace fired warning shots into the sky. The soldiers in the second row directly passed over the soldiers in the first row and aimed their muskets at the scholars. Originally,

The first row of soldiers began to load bullets.

All the scholars were completely stunned. When a group of people were looking at each other, someone in the crowd shouted loudly: "Killing! The court eagles and dogs are killing! Qiu Ba and others are killing!"

Liu Heming's face darkened, and he was about to give the order to shoot, but he heard warning shots fired from both sides of the long street, followed by a burst of neat footsteps and the clatter of horse hooves, followed by a group of people.

Dressed in flying fish uniforms, carrying embroidered spring knives on their waists, and holding fire guns, the imperial guards poured in from both sides of the long street and directly surrounded the scholars.

Ke Zhiming was dressed in a bullfight uniform, sitting upright on his horse. He glanced down at the scholars before driving the horse up, and shouted in a cold voice: "By the emperor's decree! Arrest all the scholars and put them in prison. Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy!"

Jin Yiwei Ti rode out, it was really a fart from the gods, it was extraordinary. No one among the scholars shouted "Eagle Dog Qiu Ba", and no one dared to shout for Zhu Jinsong, the Ming Emperor, to come out and admit his mistake. Instead, they all just let it go.

Jin Yiwei started to tie people up.

Even those who wanted to join the fire were silent - if they could force the guards Qiu Ba to kill people, that would be fine, but if the Jin Yiwei were to kill people, what's the point?

Ke Zhiming secretly hated these scholars for their lack of brains, and at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu/span How to interrogate and kill these more than a thousand bastards is a matter for the future. If these people continue to cause trouble, I will have to kill in front of the palace - washing the floor all night is very tiring!

But after Ke Zhiming sent the interrogation files to the palace overnight, all the bigwigs in the Ming Dynasty were stunned.

Liu Huaiwen kept banging the dry smoke pot, with a fierce light flashing from time to time in his eyes, while Zeng Cheng, the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, had a gloomy face, as if he was smelly shit, and kept muttering the word "disgraceful" in his mouth.

There were more than a thousand scholars who made trouble, and more than nine hundred of them were brainless idiots who came running as soon as they were incited. Among the remaining one hundred or so scholars, two were bribed by the slaves.

, the rest were basically mixed up with the country gentry and big workshop owners.

These hundred or so scholars had even made plans to die long ago.

Because those rural gentry and big workshop owners promised that as long as these scholars can force Zhu Jinsong and the Ming Dynasty court to change the tax system, recall miners and tax collectors from all over the country, and abolish the deceptive thing of labor unions, then they will get far more than the Tombstone Five

People are treated well, their family and children will have enough food and clothing, and they will have a lot of money to draw from.

For the Ming Dynasty, it was not a big deal to have more than a hundred scholars with ulterior motives, and even two who were bribed by the Jian slaves was not a big problem.

However, the crux of the problem is that there are more than 900 brainless idiots left - if this matter gets out, wouldn't it mean that the money-deaf old dog will be laughed to death?

Just when the big bosses felt a headache, Zhu Jinsong turned his attention to the leaders of the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Yushitai: "These people gathered outside the palace and made noise, shouting that I am

According to Ming law, how should we deal with rebel bandits? And how should we deal with those who instigated them to come to the palace to cause trouble?"

The leaders of the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Yushitai looked at each other in disbelief. Finally, it was the Ministry of Punishment who stood up and replied: "Your Majesty, according to the law, the leader will be beheaded, the followers will be hanged, and the whole family will be killed."

He will be exiled for three thousand miles, and as for the person behind the scenes, his family will be confiscated and his family will be executed according to the law! The leader is Ling Chi, and he will not be allowed to take the imperial examination, be an official, or join the army for three generations."

Zhu Jinsong hummed and said: "Then we will deal with it according to the law. Later, we will list the names of these people in the "Da Ming Newspaper" and explain clearly the causes and consequences."

As Zhu Jinsong finished speaking, all the big guys present suddenly felt like their heads were buzzing.

The number of more than a thousand scholars plus the people behind the scenes, plus their families and tribesmen, is estimated to rise to thousands or even tens of thousands. This kind of big case would have been nothing in our Tatar Qing period, but

Put it in my Ming Dynasty, it seems very... awkward?

The big guys don’t know how to describe it, it’s just very awkward.

Zeng Cheng couldn't help but advise: "Your Majesty, think twice. I know that these scholars are guilty of life and death, but..."

Zhu Jinsong waved his hand and interrupted Zeng Cheng's persuasion: "It's nothing to worry about. They are not children anymore. People in their twenties and thirties should be responsible for their own actions."

"Don't tell me that they have family members behind them. Killing too many people at once will lead to such nonsense."

"If they fail, their families will be blamed. But if they succeed, their families won't enjoy these benefits?"

"Since the Ming Dynasty has laws, we should act according to the laws. Otherwise, why would we still need the Ming Dynasty Law and the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Yushitai?"

Speaking of this, Zhu Jinsong's face couldn't help but turn gloomy.

Except for a limited number of scholars, the rest are just scoundrels. When the Ming Dynasty was not yet cool, it was these bastards who followed the country sages and gentry to make trouble, and even caused five troubles.

There is such a thing as a tombstone.

When the Ming Dynasty sang "Liangliang", except for those who died happily, the remaining bastards happily welcomed the Holy King, beat gongs and drums to congratulate the new emperor, their heads were cold and their scalps were itchy.

It’s just that those who are rushing to do it are not good deals. These idiots who took the initiative to be my Tatars found that our Tatars were much more ruthless than the Ming Dynasty.

If it were left to the Ming Dynasty, these bastards would have become famous just by criticizing the emperor. Occasionally, a few of them would be lucky enough to get a court stick, and their fame would become even greater, and their chances of making money would be limited.

More.

And our Ming monarchs and saints in the Qing Dynasty will not pamper them like those foolish monarchs in the Ming Dynasty. Anyone who dares to be careless will have their heads chopped off, and by the way, even their family property will be confiscated.

Ever since, these bastards have learned their lesson. Not only did they not dare to criticize our Tatar emperors anymore, but they flattered us to the death, until they praised the golden age of chaff and the golden age of money - no, even

There is a Yong, who must have been touted by them to create a prosperous age of money.

In the five years since Zhu Jinsong ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, the Ming Dynasty has never had anyone convicted of a crime because of his words. The court also called on scholars to serve the country in newspapers more than once. Therefore, these bastards suddenly discovered that strange and mysterious person.

The familiar Daming is back.

What else is there to say, just spray him!

In short, these bastards don't dare to make trouble with me, the Ming emperors and saints of the Qing Dynasty, but they have the courage to make trouble with Zhu Jinsong, the Ming emperor.

Zhu Jinsong also knew very well in his heart that if they didn't deal with it harshly this time, they would dare to make a bigger fuss next time - you can understand it if you think about why eight to the power of eight made a fuss all night long.

Therefore, Zhu Jinsong will not only not deal with it lightly, but will also deal with it severely to prevent more bastards from having unwanted thoughts.

Because there are so many bastards in the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Jinsong, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, wanted to go on a killing spree——

Although many of the laws of the Ming Dynasty promulgated by Zhu Jinsong after he ascended the throne were copied from Flower Planter and Silly Thieving Eagle, a large part of them were copied from the "Laws of the Ming Dynasty" and "Hongwu Dagao".
