Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1570 Dogs and dogs don't stay

   Fortunately, Xiao Jing had sharp eyesight and quick hands, so he managed to support Emperor Hongzhi.

  Then supported Emperor Hongzhi to sit on the imperial chair, took a cup of tea, and fed Emperor Hongzhi a sip.

  Emperor Hongzhi's face was still miserable, and he looked extremely depressed.

  Xiao Jing took advantage of the time to glance at the memorabilia that started the figurines. He only saw a few words on it, and saw words such as "Big Fire", "Duke Qi", "No bones left" and so on.

  Xiao Jing's complexion...was instantly miserable.

   Duke Qi is... dead?

   Although this guy is annoying.

  But when Xiao Jing first heard the news, he was still shocked, even trembling with fright, not to mention that he and Fang Jifan had no deep hatred after all, not to mention that he knew very well what it would mean if Duke Qi was assassinated.

Without hesitation, Xiao Jing immediately bowed at the feet of Emperor Hongzhi, kowtowed his head like pounding garlic, and immediately broke his head and bled: "Slaves... slaves will die... slaves are useless, your majesty... slaves are in charge of the factory guards, and cannot serve your majesty." To build an inch of power, but... instead..."

  Xiao Jing's head bumped against the copper brick, at this moment, it was particularly ear-piercing.

  Emperor Hongzhi stared blankly at the bright red blood on the copper brick, but a thought came to his mind, even the copper brick was given to him by Fang Jifan as a filial piety.

More than copper bricks, his son-in-law also built this majestic palace for him, so that his internal funds are sufficient, and he is determined to reform the country...Even Emperor Hongzhi remembered that some days ago, Fang Jifan said to him aggrievedly , he just hoped for a great order in the world, but he unexpectedly aroused the hatred of others.

   hate…

  Like an electric current, Emperor Hongzhi immediately shuddered like a conditioned reflex.

  At this time...the one with the hatred on his face is Emperor Hongzhi.

  He is a nice guy.

  People always say that he is a good man and a good emperor.

   This is rare in history.

  But now... what he is showing now is ferocious and incomparable hatred.

   "Have these thieves become so rampant?" Emperor Hongzhi clenched his fists, his eyes widened, and he gritted his teeth.

...

  Xiao Jing felt a cold feeling of fear all over his body. He had been with Emperor Hongzhi for a long time, but no matter how angry His Majesty was, he had never seen His Majesty like this.

  He saw the blue veins on His Majesty's forehead bursting out, grinning like a grin, and he no longer had the grace and appearance of an emperor.

  Xiao Jing was terrified, and immediately said: "Please... Your Majesty... make an order, servant girl... willing to go through fire and water!"

  In truth, he was at fault. The factory guards didn't detect this assassination in advance, which is a death penalty.

  Xiao Jing understands His Majesty's thoughts very well. At this moment...the only thing he can do is to follow His Majesty's wishes. Next...he, this worthless servant, should make up for it.

Emperor Hongzhi's face was cold, his eyes were full of grief, but he suddenly laughed: "It's very good, it's very good, they lied to me for decades, they lied to me for decades, decades ago , They told me about etiquette, justice, honesty, and I firmly believe in it, but now, this etiquette, righteousness, and shame are still on their lips, but I can't see it anymore, I can't see it."

Speaking of this, the laugh suddenly stopped, and the old tears burst out immediately. Emperor Hongzhi stood, his body seemed unable to hold on, so he had to bend down, put his hands on the imperial chair, and cried loudly: "I ...How should I explain to Xiurong, how should I explain to the people of the world, if... I... If I do nothing, how can I explain to my ancestors and ancestors. Ninety-five lords, heavenly nobles, my son-in-law... unexpectedly Died, died in the fire, there is no bones left, relatives hate deeply, enemies are happy, but...do they still want to have fun? They must want to laugh, want to celebrate..."

Emperor Hongzhi's face was full of murderous intentions, and hatred flashed across the depths of his eyes, and he said through gritted teeth: "An ancient saying: Governing a big country is like cooking a small fish, so don't rush it. But...it's over, everything is over. Pass the decree, you can abolish the stereotyped selection of scholars, and cancel the fame. All kinds of benefits for those with meritorious reputations will be cancelled. No matter. The factory guard immediately went to Nantong Prefecture to investigate for me. No matter who is involved, no matter who it is, I will follow the example of Emperor Wen's punishment of Fang Xiaoru, and wipe out all three of his clans, leaving no one behind."

   "The servant obeys the order." Xiao Jing responded decisively without any hesitation, without the slightest procrastination.

I saw Emperor Hongzhi said again: "Decree to the British Duke to immediately restrain the Beijing camp and wait for changes, and the palace guards will all be handed over to the Warriors' Camp. Order the Dukes of Qianguo and Chengguo who are guarding outside to inspect and inspect the three armies. The commander-in-chief and supervisors of all towns and border towns are on call at any time, and they must be prepared for any danger. The envoys stationed in Beijing are temporarily under strict control, and they are not allowed to have adulterous affairs at any time. Tianjin Wei Tang Yin was ordered to lead the guarding of Tianjin Weishui Lu Bingma, take strict precautions against defending Tianjin, which is a crucial place. Ouyang Zhizhi is in the Ministry of Officials, and has the right to collude with the appointment and dismissal of officials below the third rank. Anyone who has complaints against the imperial court should be dismissed immediately. The people in the capital, After midnight, you are not allowed to enter or leave at will. Then order Shuntian Mansion to come out in full force and guard the pass at various stations."

Xiao Jing knelt silently listening to Emperor Hongzhi's decision, but he was sweating profusely. If he remembers correctly such a series of decrees, the Ming Dynasty would only be so nervous after the Tumu Fortress Change. situation.

  He immediately kowtowed and said, "Your maid obeys the order!"

  Emperor Hongzhi waved his sleeves with coldness all over his body: "Do it now!"

"yes."

  …

  The capital.

   It was also a bulletin, and it arrived at a mansion in a new city quickly.

  The study in this mansion occupies a huge area, and there are usually cars and horses here like dragons.

  The owner here is a very famous person in Beijing, and has a high position in the court, so the scholars who are willing to come here to curry favor and visit are like crucian carp crossing the river.

  It's just today, the study is extremely cold, only a few Hanlins of the current dynasty are sitting here.

  The owner of the study, already very old, was leaning on the chair, coughing desperately.

  The maidservants brought him a spittoon, or beat his back lightly. He let out a heart-piercing cough, and his body was covered by the imperial bullfight suit, shaking constantly.

   Just then, there was a rush of footsteps outside.

   After hearing this, several Hanlin stood up nervously.

   Immediately afterwards, a commoner came in, and Natou bowed: "Mr. Liu, there is news from Nantong Prefecture."

  The old man in the bullfight uniform slowly stretched out his hand and shook it.

   Immediately, the maidservants all left.

Only then did the old man raise his head, sighed, and said: "Why is this, why is this... old man... cough cough... After several dynasties, even if it was the change of the civil castle, it is not as dangerous as it is today. Extremely extreme. Hey..."

   After finishing speaking, he let out another long sigh.

   It seems that he is not very concerned about the results of Nantong Prefecture.

  A Hanlin at the side couldn't wait to ask: "How?"

   "Duke Qi... is supposed to be dead, the mansion has been burned down, no one can escape, and dozens of corpses have been found since then..."

  Na Hanlin hurriedly said: "Have you found the body of Duke Qi?"

  The clothed man had a troubled expression on his face, and said, "This...most of the corpses are hard to distinguish..."

   Hanlin was in a hurry, and said anxiously: "If you are not sure, how dare you report, Liu Zhenzhi's affairs are too unreliable."

"Nine times out of ten." The man said: "In order to prevent it from happening, when the fire was set, people were left outside, and indeed no one came out. Not only that, but also people asked along the way, and they never heard any news about the Duke of Qi. "

That Hanlin breathed a sigh of relief just now, and then looked at the old man, beaming his brows and said: "Teacher, God has eyes, God has eyes, Fang Jifan's traitor is perverted, and he wants to cut off the holy learning. Today... the teacher has laid a net." , this time he deserves to die. This kind of villain, everyone can punish him, our good days... come!"

The old man recovered a lot, nodded his head and nodded: "Finally... the worry in my heart is gone, this old man's action is not for selfishness, but for justice, God has eyes... This is a good statement, it is God has eyes, This thief deserves to die, the way of heaven is reincarnation."

  The other Hanlins nodded their heads, wept with joy, and some even hugged each other.

  The traitor... finally eradicated.

"The stereotype reform is thanks to this villain who thought it out. This person is really insane, and he has reached such a point. Now that the villain dies, he will be relieved of his serious troubles. I am afraid that it will not be long. Let's rejoice." A young Confucian scholar said with a smile on his face.

"Wait, don't say anything about this." The old man let out a breath, coughed violently, and then continued: "After the matter is done, let's enjoy it secretly. Since the news has come, I want to come... At this time, the report has already flown into the palace. Your Majesty will call all the officials to meet with him at this time and ask about this matter. When that time comes, I will advise Your Majesty together with the princes, and we will abolish the evil of stereotypes. Your Majesty will definitely not be willing. , but now, he has lost the wings of Fang Jifan, and Xishan Academy is without a leader, even if His Majesty refuses to compromise, in the end, his arms will definitely not be able to twist his thighs, come here, undress this old man, this old man is ready... to enter the court..."

  But at this time, a porter came in a hurry, and hurriedly said loudly: "Master, master... There is news outside... There is news coming... Say yes... Say yes... His Majesty has a will..."

   will…

  Many people showed surprise.

   This has not yet called all the officials, how come the decree?

  The old man's face was still calm, and he said lightly: "What is the purpose?"

   "Abolish stereotyped writing!"
