I am not Song Qinzong

After a moment of silence, the victims bowed down at the same time and shouted, "Your Highness is wise!"

"It is the duty of the royal family to be the master of the people, so you don't need to be polite."

After comforting the common people, Zhao Huan looked at Meng Fang and said with a sneer, "If the people's hearts are like this, don't you deserve your death? Today, if there is a commoner interceding for you, I will personally remove the shackles for you!"

Meng Fang shouted: "Aren't you afraid that His Majesty will deprive Your Highness of the crown prince's position if you violate the court's order and abuse your power beyond your duty?"

"If you go to the position of crown prince because of killing a cruel official like you who harmed the people, the crown prince will not do it!" With a sneer, Zhao Huan said again: "Today, I will let you die in peace."

"Kong Gui, take this group of cruel officials to the corpse pit to see the plight of the unjustly killed people, and let them understand!" Zhao Huan said again.

"Here~" Kong Gui responded.

He pretended to be a wealthy passing businessman and stayed in Benniu Town for ten days, wanting to see everything and keep it in his heart, so he would naturally know where the dead people were buried.

Not a moment later, the brigade arrived in a field.

"Here, dig!"

With an order, more than a hundred soldiers each held hoes and shovels and began to dig the soil.

So what if one hundred and nine kills a person's head?

woohoo~

Faint crying, continuous.

The prince sent a fast rider to spread the word to the people around Benniu Town, and punished all the officials in Wujin and many officials in Changzhou to avenge the people who died.

Sure enough, many people came to see.

When it was discovered that the soldiers had dug the soil for autopsy and that relatives were buried here, they couldn't help crying.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and there was a stench in the air.

"Your Highness, the corpse is about to float to the ground. If you continue to dig it, there will be damage, and it will be severely rotted. There is a fear that the epidemic will spread. Please order to stop the digging." Hu Rong remonstrated.

"Suspend excavation." Zhao Huan ordered.

Seeing many heartbroken people, Zhao Huan walked up to an old man, bowed and said, "Dare to ask my father, who died here?"

The old man wiped his eyes and said: "The only son of the little old man was forced to come here, and he was burning bricks day and night. He was beaten to death just because he fell and damaged more than ten bricks."

"Is the old man willing to take back the body for burial?" Zhao Huan asked again.

"Hey~" The old man sighed: "Forget it, the corpse is rotten, how can you identify it clearly? Just bury it here!"

"Even if you take it back, you can't afford a coffin, so let's bury it here."

"It's not beautiful to ruin a corpse, don't bother."

"The crown prince avenged his slave, and he died with peace in his eyes, so don't disturb him."

People around said one after another.

Zhao Huan bowed and said in a loud voice: "The imperial court's improper selection and appointment of people has caused the ruin of your families, and you cannot shirk your responsibility.

This king is here to apologize to all the folks and elders! "

"Don't dare, cruel officials harm people, how can you blame His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"To kill a villain, all you need is revenge. How can you ask His Highness to make amends?"

"Your Highness is benevolent."

"Fortunately, Your Highness is the master, and we can avoid suffering in the future."

The common people either avoided to get out of the way, or bowed in return, saying that they did not blame the imperial court, but that the cruel officials did evil.

How simple and honest!

They wishfully believe that the emperor is good, and the bad ones are all the officials below.

Naive!

When it was Taizu Taizong, no, don't say these two are powerful, just say that when the old and new parties of Shenzong and Zhezong were fiercely fighting, such bad things would not happen.

Gein, which emperors really loved the people, would never allow such evil things to happen.

Even if an official dares to risk the world's shame and harm the people, he can't hide it, and he will definitely be liquidated.

It happened in this dynasty, what does it mean?

It's not that Zhao Ji is greedy for his own enjoyment, ignores the hardships of the people's livelihood, and at the same time favors traitors, which makes the officials at all levels cruelly abuse the people so recklessly.

The officials felt that the emperor was so foolish, so they were naturally very courageous.

To tell the truth, if Zhao Huan didn't play cards according to common sense, he might have been concealed by them.

The flood recorded in the history books of later generations is just a reference to the selection of Lianfang envoys and inspectors to relieve the disaster.

That is to say, the severity of the disaster was not mentioned, nor did it mention the suffering of the people.

Obviously, it was the political affairs hall of the current government that suppressed the matter.

The minister of the Zhengshitang can suppress this matter, without Zhao Ji's connivance?

Certainly not possible!

To his father, Zhao Huan was also very helpless.

After apologizing to the people, Zhao Huan looked at Meng Fang and asked, "The people's grievances are boiling, and you can't calm them down without your head. Do you have anything to say?"

"Zhao's purpose is to rule the world with the scholar-bureaucrats, not with the common people. Today, His Highness did not kill me through the judicial system, but cut himself off from the world's officials. Sooner or later, the reserve position will not be guaranteed!" Meng Fang said bitterly.

"Heh!" With a sneer, Zhao Huan patted his face and said, "A mere cruel official, can An Neng represent the world's scholars?"

After saying that, Zhao Huan moved closer to Meng Fang's ear and whispered: "If all the officials in the world are like you, so what if I kill him?"

"You... crazy!" Meng Fang was horrified.

He really didn't expect Zhao Huan to be so insane that he would do something to massacre Shilin.

Regardless of what he thought, Zhao Huan stepped back and waved his hands, shouting, "Come on, all of you will withdraw and beheaded!"

"Here."

With the order, the brigade soldiers came out.
