I'm really not the carpenter emperor

It was the dying counterattack of the Donglin Party and the chaebols that made Zhu Youxiao realize that it was time to intervene in the military affairs of the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhu Youxiao received the booklet, continued to stand on the edge of the window eaves, opened it while blowing the cold wind, and looked at it. After reading it, he said with a smile:

"Dare to enter the city with a dozen cavalry to quell the chaos? This Huang Degong, it's not in vain for me to cultivate him..."

"Then what does the Ministry of Punishment mean?"

Wang Chaofu said: "The lords of the criminal department mean that this matter is of great importance. There are more than 120 people on the list found in Dongchang, and there are many involved. It needs to be examined in detail and the evidence is solid before the case can be finalized."

"Shit... What else is there to investigate?"

Zhu Youxiao sneered when he heard it, threw the memorial back into Wang Chaofu's hand, walked to the throne and said:

"Inciting tens of thousands of people to riot, isn't that the proof?"

"I said, Huang Degong killed well, and Fu Yingxing also killed well. They didn't kill enough. I have to kill all these people, so that I can feel comfortable."

"Tell the Ministry of Criminal Justice that there is no need to investigate any more. This matter will be handed over to Dongchang, and Fu Yingxing will arrest people according to this list."

"First arrest Zhou Shunchang, Yang Nianru, Ma Jie, Zhou Wenyuan, and the Suzhou prefect Kou Shen, and I will take them to the capital for execution."

"Da Ming has been an official for more than two hundred years, how did he raise such a Zhongshan wolf?"

Chapter 716 The world is always unfair

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected in the Wenhua Hall. Under the dim sunlight, Zhu Youzheng practiced calligraphy at his desk, when he heard the sound of footsteps outside the door.

After a while, he said lightly:

"come in."

"Your Majesty, I have something important to report..."

Wen Tiren came to the Wenhua Palace on tiptoe, and saw that Emperor Tianqi was still practicing calligraphy by himself, so he continued:

"The matter in Suzhou, I think, will not be brought about overnight. The Yan family is only one of them, and the other two big families in Suzhou, Zhao and Li, are involved."

"If you want to deal with it according to His Majesty's imperial decree yesterday, if you make a big move, at least tens of thousands of people will be involved. This will not be good for Your Majesty's holy voice."

Zhu Youxiao glanced lightly, paused in his hands, and then continued to write intently:

"Then according to Wen Ge's old meaning, should I be punished lightly?"

Wen Tiren thought for a while and said:

"There's no need to be punished lightly. This matter started when Dongchang caught Zhou Shunchang, and the troublemakers were probably led by dissatisfied scholars after the imperial court reformed the provincial admission system."

"Your Majesty can pardon those people who have been deceived, and only punish Yan, Zhao, and Li's families and those who are behind the scenes, punish the officials, and reassure the people."

Zhu Youxiao didn't speak for a while, and after counting breaths, he finished writing, smiled and beckoned Wen Tiren to come over, and said:

"Old Wen Ge, tell me, how do you write the word Zhan?"

"Weifer moves down, tame to the point of chaos..."

Wen Tiren took a few steps forward, seeing these eight characters, his heart was shocked, his face moved slightly, and he said with a sneer:

"The word Your Majesty has the characteristics of "Yan Qinli Stele". It is full of muscles, thick and powerful, magnificent and majestic!"

Zhu Youxiao smiled slightly, threw down the brush, and said calmly:

"People in the world often say that Yan Jin Liugu is the master of calligraphy. I feel ashamed to be so praised by Mr. Ge."

After the words fell, the Wenhua Palace fell into a brief silence.

Wen Tiren naturally understood the meaning of the word Emperor Tianqi.

"Does Mr. Wen Ge know where these words come from?"

No matter what Wen Tiren said, he was also an important minister of the cabinet step by step. He was born as a Jinshi, so he naturally read these scriptures well.

The eight characters "Weifu moves down, tame to chaos" are not out of ingenuity, but are one of the 32 great edicts written by Zhu Yuanzhang.

"The horoscope comes from the two articles of No. 30 of the Emperor Taizu's Great Edict, 'Move the power down, tame it to chaos...in troubled times, use heavy codes...'."

When Zhu Youxiao heard it, he chuckled:

"This great edict is still standing in the palace, and the civil and military officials of the whole dynasty have read and recited it like this master, but how many people in the world really take it to heart?"

With that said, Zhu Youxiao turned around with his hands behind his back, leaving behind a shadow.

"I've made up my mind on this matter. Elder Ge doesn't need to persuade me anymore. When I go back, I will let those ministers who are still thinking about persuading me die as soon as possible."

"Emperor Taizu started at the end of the century. In troubled times, human life is like grass. He often said that in troubled times, heavy codes should be used. I also deeply agree."

"After the civil uprising, after the investigation, although Suzhou may be bloody, the seven provinces in the south of the Yangtze River will all be peaceful."

"Do you understand my thoughts?"

As he said that, Zhu Youxiao looked sideways slightly and squinted over.

Wen Tiren hurriedly lowered his eyes, not daring to meet the emperor's gaze, and said in a trembling voice: "What your Majesty said is really..."

"The minister is confused, and the minister is indecisive."

"However, what Elder Ge said is not completely unreasonable. How about it, tell Fu Yingxing, Yan, Zhao, and Li, and the officials and scholars on the list will be caught."

"The people who have been deceived and bewitched are also hard-working people. Let those who have families and homes go to other places and don't get involved too much."

Only then did Wen Tiren feel relieved, and Natou bowed:

"Your Majesty is benevolent, and the people of the world will be grateful to His Majesty and sing praises to God!"

"Okay, you go down." Zhu Youxiao waved his hand, and when Wen Tiren left, he said to Wang Chaofu who was waiting on the side:

"Copy this copybook a hundred times, and send a copy to everyone who is an official in the court, and say that I asked them to read it carefully."

"The world is always unfair, damn it, don't deserve it, day and night, many people die, how can I take care of it..."

"Afraid of the head and the tail, what can you do?"

Talking to himself, Zhu Youxiao laughed at himself, turned around and said:

"Show me, Kunning Palace."

……

By the third day, the matter of Suzhou had been completely clarified.

At least, this is the news released by the government. Whether there are other inside stories in the dark is beyond the knowledge of ordinary people.

On the morning of the third day after Huang Degong quelled the civil uprising, the Suzhou government issued notices all over the city.

This announcement marks that the chaos in Suzhou has finally come to an end.

Hearing that the officers and soldiers have regained control of Suzhou City, the chaos has been declared, and many people who hid outside the city have returned one after another.

In order to expose the transactions of those Donglin scholars and chaebols to the public's view, not only the official notice, but also the "Beijing News" published the matter in detail.

According to the announcement, the civil uprising in Suzhou was not simply caused by scholars complaining about their grievances. The truth of the incident announced by the government sent chills down the spine of many people.

Kou Shen, the prefect of Suzhou, a so-called upright official loved by the people of Suzhou, was discovered by Dongchang in the mansion with nearly 30 taels of cash.

In addition, there are many gardens and farms in the suburbs of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Nanjing under the name of Kou Shen.

This upright official is not as "clean" as the common people think.

Regarding this matter, the current emperor's attitude is as tough as ever. Huang Degong, the governor of the Jiangnan Daying camp who inspected the Yan family without authorization, did nothing, but was praised instead.

Emperor Tianqi's actions in the court, to a certain extent, stabilized the local situation in Suzhou, and made Dongchang dare to let go of the liquidation.

After three days of turmoil, the factory servants who were supposed to go to arrest Zhou Shunchang knocked on the door of Zhou Mansion again.

Fu Yingxing came here in person, and until now, he is still thankful that the supervisory department was not breached by the rioters the day before yesterday.

No matter what situation the East Factory is in where everyone is screaming and beating, there is one thing that is the basis for the factory workers to feel at ease, and that is the current emperor.

Emperor Tianqi's mind has never changed.

The emperor's trust is better than a thousand words of slander.

This also made the employees of the East Factory, who were said to be "famous for their viciousness", more determined in their hearts that they were doing the right thing.

"Tuk Tuk Tuk..."

Fu Yingxing clenched his fists and knocked on the door again. He was about to order the door to be knocked down impatiently, but he realized that the door opened slowly.

So Fu Yingxing raised one hand, ready to deal with the dying counterattack of the people in the Zhou family at any time.

However, an unexpected scene appeared. Zhou Shunchang tied himself in front of the door, stepped out of the door, and said in a firm voice in the eyes of the onlookers:

"I, Zhou Shunchang, follow Quan Yu's instructions to catch me and kill me. Don't disturb the people and harm the people!"

Chapter 717 Let's Be the Bad Guy

"It seems that you guys are still undecided."

Fu Yingxing laughed strangely, stepped forward and said, "Zhou Shunchang, do you really think that you can make trouble in Suzhou now?"

"This bad guy, I, Fu Yingxing, will be sure!"

"Little ones, take them away!"

"The entire Zhou Mansion was searched, not a single living creature was left behind!"

As soon as the order was issued, the fans kicked in the door one after another, and immediately there was another burst of chaos in the Zhou mansion.

A fan went straight to Zhou Shunchang's father, pressed the old devil under his feet in public, and stomped hard on his forehead.

I stepped on the old guy until he didn't even have the strength to scream or groan, so he cut off his head together and handed it over here.

And Zhou Shunchang obviously didn't expect that the fans would be so unscrupulous after going through this incident.

He looked at his father who died with regret, and scolded sharply:

"Grand dog, do you only deal with my unarmed family members and teachers and friends?"

Fu Yingxing smiled shamelessly: "You're right, I know all these things. This time, I will not only arrest your family members and teachers and friends."

"I'll even arrest their family members and teachers and friends."

"Why, is it possible that you can still instigate tens of thousands of people to rebel? Let me tell you, Zhou, tens of thousands of people are currently living in the town of Suzhou in the Jiangnan camp, and you can't turn the sky!"

"Bring them to the square, I will kill his whole family one by one with my own hands later!"

"Gag his mouth, I want him to watch, how I cut off his whole family one by one."

"Since he's already a bad person, let's make it even more bad."

Hearing this, the fans also laughed.

That's a good point, anyway, no matter what, in the eyes of the world, people like myself have done all kinds of bad things.

It would be better to break the pot and smash it, and it will be "broken" to the end!

It is still up to our Dongchang to do the work of liquidating after the incident, setting off a big case, and offending people!

Fu Yingxing looked at Zhou Shunchang's painful expression, walked to his side, sneered in a low voice:

"Just wait and see, and see if any of your behind-the-scenes masters dare to jump out and seek death."

……

"Investigate the case in Dongchang, open the door!" In a certain alley in Suzhou City, a fan hammered the door of a seemingly inconspicuous commoner.

There was a panic inside the door, and there was the sound of porcelain being accidentally dropped and smashed.

After a while, a trembling inquiry came out: "Masters of Dongchang, we didn't participate in the riot...!"

Fanzi said: "Whether you participate or not, you will know when you open the door."

"If you don't open the door, we will be smashed!"

"Don't, I'll open it!" There was a quarrel inside the door, but soon, a middle-aged man with a flustered expression opened the door.

Fanzi looked into the house and found that it was just an ordinary family.

A man and a woman, a child.

"Well, you're all right." Just as Fanzi was about to leave, before the door was closed, a slight cough came from the inner room.

In an instant, Fanzi's knife was caught between the cracks in the door.

"what sound?"
