Daming: Stealing Chen Yuanyuan at the beginning

Chapter 84 Kill!kill!kill!

There are various festivals every year, not to mention the Spring Festival, Qingming Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and the emperor's birthday.But it was the first time I heard of the anniversary of the murder.

The officials stood in the cold wind, somewhat stunned.

Li Cunming thought to himself: "Since it is the anniversary of the killing, we should kill a few people to commemorate it. Who should we kill?"

His eyes slowly swept across the group of officials, and the officials hurriedly lowered their heads, their hearts pounding.

"Qian Qianyi, are you guilty?" Li Cunming shouted angrily, like a thunderbolt from the sky.

Qian Qianyi shuddered, his knees softened and he knelt down on the cold ground, kowtowed and said: "I don't know what crime I have committed, please tell the emperor clearly!"

Li Cunming sat on the dragon chair, leaned against the back of the chair, put his hands in his sleeves, and said in an extremely lazy and disdainful tone:
"I don't have much talent, but I have a very good memory and can hold grudges. I remember all the crimes you Qian Qianyi committed, and I will tell you clearly."

"I levy business tax, and you take the lead in resisting it, is there such a thing?"

"When I was still in Ningling, I said that the biggest enemy of my Ming Dynasty was the Jiannu Tartars. But you made a mission to the north to go to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, talking about uniting with the Qing Dynasty to suppress the invaders, saying that you can cede land and transport old coins, Is there such a thing? Zuo Maodi died, don't you feel guilty?"

Qian Qianyi said: "Admonishing the emperor not to levy business taxes and sending a mission to the Qing Dynasty was out of a public mind, and later he realized his mistake and stopped insisting. What's more, these two things are not The minister alone did it, and the public opinion at that time was so, and the ministers were just following the people's hearts."

Qian Qianyi is really an old fox. He knows that the law does not blame the public, so he pulls out his colleagues as a backstop.

Li Cunming laughed loudly: "You are so thick-skinned, I admire you from the bottom of my heart! Regardless, let the two crimes be uncovered, and you secretly colluded with Zuo Liangyu and instigated him to rebel, so what?"

"I don't understand what your Majesty is talking about! I am loyal and will never act like a traitor. Your Majesty must not be deceived by others." Qian Qianyi said.

Li Cunming really wanted to jump over to tear his mouth open and blow his dog's head off, so he restrained his sneer: "What a loyal minister, I can count on your joke for a year."

Qian Qianyi said: "The king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die. If your majesty really wants to kill the minister, just issue an order, and the minister will immediately crash to death on the imperial steps. But if you say that the minister is a traitor, the minister must not Accept, what proof do you have?"

Li Cunming moved his buttocks and sat more comfortably: "I know why you are so confident, do you think that Zuo Liangyu and his son are dead, Ma Shixiu was defeated and died, and Huang Shu was also killed by you, so I can't take it Show evidence?"

The emperor's words pierced Qian Qianyi's mind, he really thought so.It's just that the matter of killing Huang Shu was done without anyone noticing, how did the emperor know?
Qian Qianyi's face changed slightly, but he still categorically denied it, because he secretly colluded with Zuo Liangyu in an extremely secretive and cautious manner, and did not leave any text at all, relying on Huang Shu to pass on the news.

He was betting, betting on the emperor was just cheating, betting on the emperor had no real evidence!
"If you want evidence, I'll show it to you." Li Cunming clapped his hands.

There were many Jin Yiwei carrying several large boxes to the front of the hall, and at the end was Gong Yonggu escorting a blood-stained prisoner, with his head drooping and half his life left.

"Gong Aiqing, raise the prisoner's head and let Qian Qianyi see who he is."

"Master Qian, open your dog eyes!" Gong Yonggu grabbed the prisoner's hair and forced him to raise his head.

When Qian Qianyi saw it, he was startled and horrified. This person was Ma Shixiu, Zuo Liangyu's deputy!

Didn't it mean that Ma Shixiu was defeated and died?Oops, fooled!

Qian Qianyi's expression was wonderful, as if he could change his face.Li Cunming stroked his beard and enjoyed it.

"When I was still in Xuzhou, I felt that the case of Zuo Liangyu's rebellion was very suspicious. After Ma Shixiu was captured, Huang Degong threatened to say that he was dead, in order to cast a long line to catch big fish."

"My fellow ministers, this is Ma Shixiu's confession. He explained the details of Qian Qianyi's collusion with Zuo Liangyu. The evidence is conclusive and the facts are clear. Qian Qianyi committed a heinous crime and deserves death!"

Li Cunming got up, walked down the white marble steps step by step, stood in front of Qian Qianyi, and threw a confession paper on his face.

"Qian Qianyi, what else do you have to say?"

Qian Qianyi lay limp on the ground, no longer as tough as before, and said in a hoarse voice: "I plead guilty."

Li Cunming looked at him condescendingly, and said coldly: "You claim to be a gentleman, but what you do is despicable and shameless. The increase of business tax has touched the interests of the Jiangnan gentry, so you colluded with Zuo Liangyu and tried to hold the prince hostage." Forcing me to abdicate, and sending assassins to ambush me in Xiaoling, trying to assassinate me, so many sinister and treacherous deeds, even if you die a hundred times, you will not be able to atone for your sins!"

"That's all. After all, everyone will protect their own interests. But under the banner of moral judgment, you set off a robbery case and engage in party disputes. You are both a bitch and a memorial archway. It's disgusting. It's worse than a national sinner." Sun Zhixie is even more disgusting!"

"Sun Zhixie is a real villain, and his crimes will be clearly recorded in the annals of history; but you are a hypocrite, if I don't come to expose you, maybe future generations will be deceived, and think that you are a man of the country and the people. loyal minister."

"My Ming Dynasty can't tolerate real villains, let alone hypocrites! Gong Yonggu, he used the method of Sun Zhixie to deal with Qian Qianyi, and asked a few Tony teachers to grow pig bristles for him, and then threw them into Xuanwu Lake to feed him. Wang Ba."

"Let's go, hypocrite!" Gong Yonggu ordered Qian Qianyi to be taken away.

Qian Qianyi dragged on the ground like a mangy dog, and shouted: "Your Majesty, the lake water is too cold during the first month, the water is too cold, can you change the method?"

Damn... Li Cunming almost swears.

After disposing of Qian Qianyi, Li Cunming walked up the steps, stood in front of those boxes, and asked, "Do you know what's inside?"

The courtiers shook their heads, Li Cunming opened a box and took out a letter:
"When I pacified Jiangbei and eradicated the warlords, many letters were found in their study rooms. These letters were written by Nanjing officials to the warlords, either in secret, or in pursuit of friendship, or even to please the warlords. Leaking court secrets in the letter, cursing the emperor and the prince, all kinds of crimes, and so on."

"The letters in the big boxes, the more I look at them, the more shocking and chilling I feel. I'm so disappointed, why did I raise a group of white-eyed wolves?"

As he spoke, he ordered someone to bring a torch, and Li Cunming took it in his hand and said: "At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, during the Battle of Guandu, Cao Cao captured the letters written by his officials to Yuan Shao. How about I follow the example of Cao Cao and burn these letters!"

The courtiers knelt down and were extremely moved: "The emperor is wise!"

"Ding, a total of 30000 positive emotion points have been obtained from the ministers"

Li Cunming put down the torch slowly, and when the flames were about to reach the letters, he threw the torch away and said with a curled lips, "Hmph, I'm not Cao Cao, I'm not stupid, if I really want to burn these letters, the blood of the frontline soldiers will be shed in vain , those who are happy are just treacherous people!"

"Ah..." The courtiers just breathed a sigh of relief, and a heart came into their throats again.

Is it a surprise, is it unexpected, is it exciting?

Life is full of ups and downs...

"Ding, a total of 60000 negative emotion points have been obtained from the ministers"

Seeing the ups and downs of the courtiers' emotions, Li Cunming felt secretly refreshed. He picked up a letter and opened it, saying, "Hou Xun, the former minister of household affairs, colluded with Zuo Liangyu, kill him! Hou Fangyu, the son of Hou Xun, participated in the plot, kill him!"

He picked up another letter: "Wu Weiye, the editor of the Imperial Academy, secretly colluded with Liu Zeqing, kill him!"

One letter after another was opened in this way, and one official after another was killed on the spot, with their heads falling to the ground and blood flowing.

A total of more than 20 people were killed. Li Cunming looked at Chen Zilong and said, "Chen Zilong, although you didn't collude with the warlords, you beat Fan Jingwen, the next crime is the one above, kill!"

In fact, both Wu Weiye and Chen Zilong are rare talents. Wu Weiye is a great poet, and the famous line "Rushing the crown and becoming a beauty" comes from his "Yuanyuanqu";
Chen Zilong knew military affairs. After the defeat of the Hongguang court, he raised the banner of rebellion against the Manchu Qing Dynasty and died for his country.

To be honest, when Li Cunming ordered the execution of these two people, he was more or less intolerable.But he did not relent in the end. The reason is very simple. If the chaos of the party struggle is not subsided, there will be no hope for the Ming Dynasty!

The struggle in the court is so cruel.Talents can be cultivated and discovered, but the Donglin Party must be destroyed!

A bloody killing left the courtiers breathless, and everyone dared not show their anger.The weather is cold, but the chill in people's hearts is stronger.

The emperor was angry, bleeding and drifting away!

Shi Kefa's face was ashamed, he finally learned the emperor's thunderbolt method, thinking that he had a lot to do with the Donglin Party, and he might not escape death today.

Unexpectedly, after killing Chen Zilong, the emperor finally set fire to the rest of the letters, and said in a deep voice: "I am not a butcher, I killed people who deserved to die. Whether the rest are guilty or not, you go home and ask yourself, reflect on yourself." .”

He clapped his hands again and shouted: "Wang Cheng'en, bring the people from Dongchang out to wash the ground! Retire."

The courtiers left tremblingly, and Wang Chengen led people to clean the ground.Li Cunming ordered Ren Qidao: "Go and find Ruan Dacheng."

After breakfast, Ruan Dacheng entered the palace and went to the upper study.Li Cunming said: "Ruan Dacheng, I killed many Donglin party members in the early court today, have you heard?"

"heard."

"Tell me the truth, do you feel happy? Do you feel relieved?"

"Happy! Let go!"

Li Cunming chuckled: "Very well, don't tell lies in front of me, I think you are more pleasing to the eye than hypocrites. Do you want to have more fun and relieve your anger?"

Ruan Dacheng asked: "What does the emperor mean..."

"I hate the Donglin party members as much as you do. Now let's join hands and beat the dog in the water. I not only want to kill people, but also punish their hearts!"
