After making up his mind to clean up, the whole process was carried out quite simply - after Mu Chen's Zhubi made the decision, the emperor, who had become a puppet, obediently wrote down the edict, bell and seal, and then the eunuch sent it to Wang Yan Wang Shizhong's mansion, so that The early bird who disturbed the wind and rain went to the imperial prison to plead guilty.

Obviously, since Wuma crossed the river, the Langya Wang family has occupied Jiangdong for hundreds of years, but such a small edict can never be intimidated.Wang Shizhong received the edict with a solemn salute, and picked out serious flaws in the procedure just by raising his eyes—there was only the emperor's handwriting and seal on this edict, and there was no signature of the prime minister, not to mention the signatures of various ministries.How can it be an edict without being under the door of Zhongshu?At best, it's just a matter of purpose!

How could such a prominent official as the servant be killed with a mere letter from Zhongzhi?

The young eunuch who passed the decree had little knowledge and experience in the world, and was stunned by Wang Daming. After hesitating for a while, he finally timidly spoke out the warning of the adults in the palace: If Wang Yan refused to submit, the consequences might be unimaginable.

Wang Yan chuckled: "My lord compares himself to Jie and Zhou, but I'm not the material for Bigan. The way of the monarch is not righteous, so I can only ride on the mayfly in the sea. It's just that there are so many madmen in the world. If the court is so unscrupulous and humiliates the scholars, I'm afraid There will be soldiers from Jinyang!"

With the little eunuch's level of education, he can barely remember this sentence and repeat it later.But there are many talents in the time-traveling team. Advisor Wang Zhiwang immediately understood what the other party meant when he heard it for a while.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhao Yang once promoted the Jia of Jinyang, in the name of the Qing emperor, and expelled Xun Yin and Shiji She." He smiled slightly: "So you use this to threaten us?"

The in-laws and disciples of Langya Wang's family are all over the world, if the imperial court took action in Jiankang, there would definitely be more than just one or two commotions.But the traversers looked indifferent, and just asked the little eunuch to investigate again.After a while, the eunuch came to report again, saying that the Wang family had already prepared an ox cart, and rumors had spread in Taicheng that they were going out of the city to escape for a while.

This is a common method used by aristocratic families and imperial power for hundreds of years.Although the emperor had an absolute military advantage in the city, the noble families had been operating outside Jiankang City for a long time, and prepared to build the impregnable Wubao Manor.If the emperor were to attack violently, as long as the scholars could escape outside the city and hide in the manor, they would deal with the imperial army for several days.The in-laws and old relatives all over the imperial court will lobby for him, and they may even dismiss the government collectively to paralyze the government affairs, so as to force the imperial power to submit.

On weekdays, this big move is not easy to use (after all, few emperors are so brain-dead enough to offend most of the family), but it is basically tried and tested.But this time Wang Shizhong made a huge mistake—not only did everyone in the court hear the news, they were not worried.For those who travel through, Wubao Manor is a free snack, but the biggest worry is Wang's family biography - Wang Yan and Wang Xizhi live in the same house, and there might be an authentic book sage in the house.It would be an unbearable historical responsibility if it was fired in one shot.

In other words, the boxes of antiques in Wang Shizhong's house are much better than his Wubao Manor in terms of defense effect...

In view of this, the crossing team showed extraordinary patience.Mu Chen first ordered Wang Yan's house and his family to be sealed up and kept under surveillance, waiting for an opportunity to check carefully; guessing that Wang Shizhong had fled to the suburban manor, he leisurely gathered the troops and set off from the palace on a pony, taking a leisurely pace Follow the official road to the outside of the city.Although he has practiced equestrianism hard since the time travel, he has never actually practiced it on weekdays. This time he set foot on the long street slowly and tried his best to adjust his speed.

In this way, when Mu Chen and his party strolled out of the palace gate, the news had been spread wildly in Jiankang City, and everyone knew that the imperial court had torn their skins and issued an edict to clean up the servant Wang Yan. grown ups.The strange political tide is so fierce that the high-ranking officials in the city are all behind closed doors to spy on the situation secretly, only the civilians who know nothing dare to be interested, discussing and gradually gathering outside the gate of Taicheng.When Mu Chen's Yi pilot came out of Taicheng, there was a burst of buzzing around, and people gradually surrounded him.

In the past few days, the special forces have been ordered to distribute food, and they are fair, stable, considerate and considerate in their work, and have already built an excellent reputation inside and outside Jiankang City.Even though they are marching out now, the common people are not panicked when they see them, and some brave ones even venture to follow, hiding behind the horse team and watching quietly.Mu Chen sat on the horse and had a panoramic view, but he signaled to all the soldiers not to stop him.So everyone followed up one after another, and gradually formed a long winding dragon behind the horse team.

When they walked out of the city gate, it looked like they were leading a team on a spring outing.

With such a large crowd, it took more than an hour to slowly reach the Wubao on the outskirts of the Wang family.The Wang family has been operating outside Jiankang City for a long time, and the Wubao they built has high walls and thick walls, surrounded by water on all sides.There were many figures coming and going on the gate tower, and all the guards were neatly dressed and holding swords.

These guards are the trump card for the Wang family to gain a foothold in Jiankang. Each of them is a carefully selected servant of the family.Even if the emperors of the Southern Dynasties drove here, they would bend their bows and shoot arrows without any hesitation.But even such a loyal and reliable guard felt a little weird and frightened when he saw the thousands of people crowding around and watching.

But since the imperial court driver came here, the Wang family naturally couldn't do nothing.Soon, a man with the appearance of a housekeeper came down from the gate and was led to Mu Chen's horse.This person had also prepared a full stomach of aggressive rhetoric, but when he saw the crowds around him, full of chattering and curious onlookers, his aura immediately withered by three points.

He bit the bullet and saluted forward, and then opened his mouth to argue for Wang Shizhong, saying that his master is just retiring to the countryside, why should the court persecute him so hard?To bully celebrities like this is to imitate the disaster of Emperor Huan and Lingdi?

The scourge of the party's imprisonment is the biggest political correctness that has restrained the emperor since the Eastern Han Dynasty. When Wang said such words, he was obviously very irritated and did not intend to save any face.

Mu Chen didn't care, but motioned to the King of Fuling who was beside him to step forward and ask, "Your Majesty has issued an edict, and the ministers should obey it. Is it possible that the king's servant wants to resist the order and refuse to obey it, and resist to the end in this Wubao?"

The housekeeper was also stubborn, and when King Fuling came to pay his respects, his tone was extremely strong: "My master has already said that if King Cheng loses power, Guan and Cai Bingzheng, no matter what the edict is, it will be nothing more than disorderly orders! "

This sentence was astonishing, and after the butler finished speaking in one breath, he prostrated himself on the ground, closed his eyes, and waited for death.But the soldiers around did not move. On the contrary, King Fuling's face was pale, and he retreated subconsciously, turning his head to look at his precious nephew, King Hengyang. Under the rage of this nephew with a heavy soldier in his hand, he might bring disaster to Chi Yu and himself!

But to his surprise, King Hengyang clearly heard the roar of the steward before, but there was no wave on his face.He clamped the horse's back with his legs, raised his head and pondered for a while, and finally spoke to the people around him with a smile.

"Confucius said that people from far away are not convinced, so they cultivate literature and virtue." He said slowly: "Wang Shizhong is near the capital, and I can't convince him. It seems that my virtue is not enough."

This sentence took a turn for the worse, and the face of the king of Fuling who was beside him turned paler in shock. Hearing such a high-sounding speech, he might have thought that he was surrounded by a generous king who was dedicated to Confucianism; I am very familiar with this nephew, and I know that this man is definitely not a generous and kind master who repays evil with virtue!

- so what is this going to do?

Thinking of this, the King of Fuling in fox jacket shuddered a few times.

Mu Chen's words seemed to be talking to himself, only a few people around him could hear clearly.The housekeeper Wang who was lying on the ground was confused and dared not speak. Only Dr. Wang Zhiwang cheered:

"Cultivate virtue and make it far away, sages and sages appreciate it. How does Your Highness plan to cultivate virtue?"

Mu Chen shook his head, and there seemed to be a hint of sadness in his tone:

"Wang Shizhong—and even the ministers—are obsessed with obsession because they are always ignorant of the righteousness and the truth of the world. If you don't teach, you call it abuse. If I want to cultivate virtue, I will naturally insist on persuading others with the truth..."

What he said was so sincere and sincere that even the housekeeper of the palace was full of doubts. He couldn't help looking up at the handsome young man who immediately described it. What convinces people with virtue.Only Wang Zhi remained motionless, but the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

Mu Chen pondered for a moment, beckoned someone to bring the housekeeper to the horse, smiled and said:

"I want to teach you a few truths, are you willing to learn?"

The housekeeper of the palace was already so shocked that his mind was numb and unable to function, so of course he could only nod stiffly under everyone's gaze.

Mu Chen's smile became more and more real.He looked around for a moment, then spoke slowly:

"The first truth I taught you is that science and technology are primary productive forces..."

Before the words fell, there was a dull and violent shaking on the ground, and then there was a strong ups and downs, as if standing on a station with rough waves.Everyone stood unsteadily and staggered, staggered and fell amidst the screams, many people struggled to get up, and they had already started to yell that the earth dragon turned over, turned around and was about to run away——

But soon, the screams and noise were all covered up by the bang.Everyone looked up unconsciously, and saw the dust and rubble rolling on the ground dozens of meters ago, and the high wall of Wubao—the five or six feet high wall, had disappeared out of thin air and collapsed abruptly. half!

Long before the cavalry set off, Mu Chen had ordered the engineers to place precision explosives under the corner of the wall, and now they detonate at regular intervals, and the effect is really extraordinary.

Mu Chen smiled slightly, covered his mouth and nose with his hands, and finally waited for the flying dust to clear up a little. He let go of his sleeves, and turned to look at the steward of the palace, who was as stiff as a stone beside the horse.

"Okay. Next is the second truth I will teach you." He said calmly: "—the people, or organized people, their power is infinite."

He raised his head and knocked on the earphones, and the soldiers who received the signal dispersed immediately, took out their tin horns and yelled loudly, deterring thousands of people who were already panicked and at a loss.These soldiers walked around in the crowd, loudly conveying the order of King Hengyang: His Highness has found out Wang Yan's bad deeds, knowing that he used the famine to hoard and forcibly bought and sold many civilians as slaves.After entering Wubao a while later, His Highness promised to distribute the food in Wubao to the poor in the city, and destroy the slave status of all the servants of the royal family, so that everyone can survive.Everyone can go inside and find their relatives...

Just after these few words came out, thousands of people on the field were still stunned and even looked up, as if they couldn't believe such a strange thing beyond imagination.However, the soldiers repeated these words several times, and loudly guaranteed the credibility of the multi-day bulk food.Gradually, there were faint discussions among the confused and terrified crowd.After the soldiers repeatedly made guarantees, the discussion gradually became louder and louder, and finally someone jumped up from the crowd and shouted loudly:

"Longevity, Your Highness, Longevity, Your Highness!"

·

Mu Chen sat on the horse and scanned the mighty crowd around him—after the first person jumped out and shouted "Wan Shou", the voices of Wan Shou in the crowd continued one after another.Thousands of people shouted in one go, the sound was really deafening.

Seeing these ragged people lined up neatly, they cheered like a tide and poured into the big hole in the damaged wall of Wubao.Mu Chen couldn't help feeling slightly emotional.This time they spent a lot of time, all they wanted was to publicly execute the family in front of the people of Jiankang.After this wave of rampant catharsis, I am afraid that these people will never have any awe of Jinling's dignitaries again.

So far, they have taken the first step in cleaning up the Southern Dynasties system.

Thinking of the success this time, Mu Chen was a little relieved, and looked down at the butler of the palace, who was as limp as a dead dog under his horse's legs.

It is strange to say that when the precision explosives thundered, although this man was ashen and unable to move, he still had the strength to stand up. When the soldiers organized civilians to rush into the dock, this man became completely A dead dog with weak legs, he could only shrink under Mu Chenma's belly.

... But looking at the eyes of the common people around him, Mu Chen didn't feel any surprise at all—everyone in the palace looked at Jiankang for being extravagant and domineering, and I'm afraid this person's notoriety is also like thunder.

Of course, if it is like thunder and thunder, after all, there must be a public trial to clarify the canonical punishment, and the masses cannot tear him up now.Mu Chen snorted, and whipped the horsewhip casually.The housekeeper trembled all over his body, and finally raised a face that was dripping with sweat and looked like a dead body.

Mu Chen's tone was soft, as if there had never been any shocking blow just now, and there were a lot of responses. He even laughed at Yan Yan:

"Butler Wang, now I want to tell you the third truth—you see, the two truths I just said have been proved by my own practice. Therefore, this third truth is called——"

Speaking of this, Mu Chen couldn't help but frown: To be honest, what he wanted to do on a whim to convince others with virtue, apart from using the housekeeper to gain prestige, at most he was pretending to be coercive.Now that the majesty has been fully established, he pretends to be coercive and content.It would be a bit...

Seeing King Hengyang hesitate for a moment, it was Dr. Wang Zhiwang who was highly skilled, and coughed to resolve the dilemma:

"This is called." Dr. Wang whispered: "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth."
