Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 667 Ming's law, beheading foreign kings!
Mu Jianbo, Mrs. Chen and others huddled in the prison car,

Seeing the expressions of the people on both sides wishing to eat them raw, they finally felt a sense of fear.

They were afraid, and what they were afraid of was not the anger of the people, but what came after the anger of the people, the power that would make them beyond redemption.

Jin Yiwei escorted the prison van into Beijing, while Zhang Haogu had already returned to Zhu Youxiao.

After describing the situation of the Battle of Yunnan and the Battle of Annan in detail, Zhang Haogu bowed slightly to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, the land of Annan now belongs to our Great Ming territory."

Zhu Youxiao looked excitedly at the household registration, account books, and maps presented by Zhang Haogu. These are the symbols that represent Annan's surrender to Ming Dynasty. With these, Annan will not be able to escape from Daming's grasp. heart!

Eunuch Wei smiled and said: "Master Zhang, slaves and others really didn't expect that you could pacify Yunnan and Annan in such a short period of time. When the news spread to the capital, all the officials were stunned. Foreign envoys don't believe it at all, a bunch of frogs in a well."

Zhu Youxiao also said proudly: "How can a group of small countries know how powerful the imperial court is? Now that they have seen it, don't they all kneel in front of me to express their respect?"

Eunuch Wei quickly said, "That's why they are in awe of you."

Zhu Youxiao was very sober: "That's because they are in awe of Daming, and the master Wang of Daming."

Then, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Master, what is the effect of this flying ball? If it is used in Liaodong, is it feasible?"

Zhang Haogu said slowly: "Your Majesty, although this flying ball can be used now, there are still many problems."

"First, the flight of the flying ball depends entirely on the wind. If there is no wind, it cannot move."

"Secondly, the flying ball can only be regarded as a simple product now. Whether it is good quality or personnel safety, there is no guarantee. No one in the sky can guarantee that there will be no accidents."

"I think this flying ball still needs to be improved."

"Before in Yunnan, Chen also waited for a long time to come to the southeast wind, and the training of the flying team lasted for more than a month before the magic soldier descended from the sky."

"It can be said that the success of Shenglong is just a coincidence. Originally, the minister's plan was to let them burn Shenglong and bring them back to the Annan royal family. It is a surprise."

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "It seems that the Liaodong issue cannot be rushed for a while."

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, wait patiently for a while."

"Let the Academy of Engineering improve the flying ball, and at the same time let the Shenbing Battalion train a group of soldiers who can manipulate the flying ball."

"Above this high altitude, the airflow is unpredictable. If you are not familiar with the high altitude and the flying ball, it is difficult to control the flying ball to move forward as you like. If you are not careful, the direction will be deviated by a thousand miles."

"Besides, there are a lot of flying birds in the sky, and it is difficult to guarantee that the flying ball will not be affected by the flying birds."

As he said that, Zhang Haogu smiled: "In the battle of Shenglong, five hundred flying balls went forward, and all the way to Annan was safe, but when they came back, there were only about four hundred flying balls left. There are so many things in control.”

"At present, the people in the Shenbing Battalion are the only soldiers in the Ming Dynasty who have actual combat experience. I feel that instead of letting them go to the battlefield, it is better to let them train more new recruits, so that the sky of the Ming Dynasty can be guaranteed."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slowly, and pondered: "It makes sense, but I am impatient."

Zhang Haogu said again: "Your Majesty, the strength of Ming Dynasty is far stronger than that of Liaodong. Regardless of population, troops, money, grain or supplies, Ming's national power will crush Liaodong."

"So why should the emperor be anxious? Even if there is no flying ball, if I, Da Ming, take time to attack from the two fronts of Monan and Liaonan, he will not be able to support Liaodong."

"Left and right are nothing more than the past two years. The most important thing for me at the moment is internal strength."

Taking a deep breath, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "I am impatient. This Liaodong is, after all, a serious problem before the imperial court. I am thinking about how to calm down Liaodong day and night."

"Liaodong is only suffering from scabies now. It is easy to pacify Liaodong, but after pacifying Liaodong, those scholars will have no place to settle." Zhang Haogu laughed.

Zhu Youxiao was stunned for a moment, but couldn't help laughing: "That's right, I heard that there are still many scholars and scholars in the south who oppose the New Deal and the imperial court. I really want to send them all to Liaodong. Let them harm Huang Taiji to their heart's content."

"Without these people, Daming would be neat and tidy."

Saying that, both Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu laughed.

After chatting with each other for a while, Zhu Youxiao said, "As for the disposal of the Mu family and the Annan royal family, I am in a difficult situation right now."

"Oh?" Zhang Haogu was a little surprised, Zhu Youxiao hasn't made up his mind yet?
"Kill, you must kill. Not killing is not enough to deter the world, and it is not enough to comfort the soldiers who died in battle," Zhu Youxiao paused for a moment, a flash of killing intent flashed in his eyes but he calmed down again, "but How to kill, I am still hesitating."

Zhang Haogu asked: "But because of the Mu family?"

Zhu Youxiao said: "After all, the Zhu family has guarded Yunnan for generations, guarded the frontiers for generations, and kept the southwest of Ming Dynasty stable. Since the founding of the country, most of these princes have become gnats. , is indeed creditable."

"It's okay to kill them all, I just don't want people in the world to think that I'm bloodthirsty."

"There is also King Annan. Logically speaking, the captured lord should be given the title of prince and let him live in peace, but I don't want to let him go!"

Zhang Haogu understood that when the time is different, so are the people.

At the beginning, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor’s position was not safe, and this Ming Dynasty was also in danger. In troubled times, heavy codes were used. In order to stabilize the north in the shortest time, at least let the court have a certain amount of power to protect itself. Zhu Youxiao did not hesitate to kill people. That's a neat one.

But time has passed, and now Daming is rich and powerful, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the army is extremely brave. It can be said that Daming is already a prosperous age.

The emperor naturally changed accordingly and began to pay attention to his reputation.

The people's hearts are very complicated. On the one hand, they hope that the imperial court will be a tough court that can protect them, but on the other hand, they don't want the imperial court to be particularly tough and can accommodate people.

They hope that the emperor is kind and loving, but they also hope that the emperor is tough and will not be soft-hearted.

Zhu Youxiao is not an emperor who has been growing up in the deep palace and has never seen the real folk appearance. He naturally knows the complicated thoughts of the people.

Take Emperor Xiaowen in the Western Han Dynasty as an example. Didn't he also have the idea of ​​not wanting to make his brother king, but a nursery rhyme among the people made Emperor Xiaowen change his mind.

Because the nursery rhyme expressed the most simple emotions of the people. The people hoped to see the scene of harmony between brothers and sisters, and hoped that their emperor would be a benevolent emperor who missed the past; The expected appearance of brothers and sisters, this is Emperor Taizong Wen who has been missed by the people for 400 years.

Zhu Youxiao, who pays attention to his reputation now, naturally cannot ignore folk rumors. These rumors are usually useless, but sometimes they can become a knife for someone with a heart.

Zhang Haogu knew Zhu Youxiao's thoughts, so he said with a smile: "If that's the case, why does the emperor have to judge the Mu family himself? You might as well hand over the Mu family and the Annan king to the people for trial."

"Set up a public trial in the capital, let the people judge their crimes, and see if they deserve to die in the hearts of the people. If everyone thinks they deserve to die, they can't blame the emperor."

Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "What Master thinks is exactly the same as what I think."

Zhang Haogu was stunned for a moment, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the emperor has already made up his mind."

Zhu Youxiao said: "I not only want them to die, but also want them to leave a bad reputation forever."

Let the Mu family go?

How can it be!

Betrayers must die!
Soon, the news that the imperial court decided to hold a public trial spread in the capital, and the people came to join in the fun.

On the day when the public trial started, it was empty for thousands of people, and the public trial site was crowded with people. This is a public trial of a country's ruler and a founding duke. Who can miss this scene.

The one who presides over the public trial is naturally the elder of the cabinet, Qiao Yunsheng, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment.

The first to be interrogated was the Mu family!

Qiao Yunsheng slapped the gavel: "Lead someone into prison!"

Soon, everyone in the Mu family was brought up one by one, with Mrs. Song, Mrs. Chen and Mu Jianbo at the front.

Qiao Yunsheng asked: "Can you be convicted?"

Seeing that no one responded, Qiao Yunsheng asked again: "You colluded with Annan, sent troops to cause disaster, and intended to support the troops to respect ourselves and establish ourselves as kings! Disrespecting the court, deceiving the upper and lower, and causing countless innocent people in Yunnan to die tragically, you can see crime?"

Chen suddenly said: "What crime am I waiting for? It's the injustice of the court!"

"My Mu family has guarded Yunnan and the southwest for the imperial court for generations, but now it has ended up like this. It is the court's injustice and the emperor's ruthlessness!"

Qiao Yunsheng sneered and said, "Oh?"

"So your Mu family is right? If that's the case, then go to court with the common people!"

Chen was stunned for a moment, and went to court with the common people?
Seeing common people being brought up one by one, Mrs. Chen looked at these common people very puzzled, why had she never seen these people before?

Is this a gentleman from Yunnan?

It can't be those mud legs in Yunnan, right?

These common people were really Lishu in Yunnan who the Chen family didn't care about at all. They were all brought to the court to testify.

The common people began to cry for grievances as soon as they came to power, counting the sins of the Mu family over the years.

Including raising the bandits to be self-respecting, deliberately letting the bandits and robbers in Yunnan plunder the people to show the importance of the Mu family, and the so-called barbarians who have been detained all the time. own status.

Moreover, self-directing and self-acting are not counted. They also wantonly killed the people, killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, robbed the people's property, forced the people into slavery, and so on.

Even if the imperial government's new policy was implemented in Yunnan, the Mu family still didn't restrain themselves much. Even if they had a caravan, they would not let go of the wealth in the hands of the people.

In the end, they even directly colluded with Annan to enter the customs. The Mu family insisted on defending Kunming, and even colluded with merchants to raise the price of grain, forcing the people to go bankrupt to buy food, and even sold their children and daughters, so that the people became slaves to the Mu family again.

After all the criminal evidence was exposed by the people in Yunnan, the people in the capital knew what the Zhongliang Mu family, which seemed to guard the southwest for the imperial court, looked like.

On the surface, he is loyal and loyal to the court, but in fact he is harming the people, ignoring the court's laws, acting recklessly, deceiving the upper and lower, and intending to cede the land and become the king!

What is wolf ambition?
This is wolf ambition!
After learning the truth about the Mu family, the people were outraged.

They can tolerate being oppressed and bullied, but they can't be ignored like this and treated as consumables.

And it's okay if you keep these things hidden, but they still have to be revealed.

Originally, some people felt that the Mu family might also be a poor generation, because they were forced to do so by the court.

This is not surprising, after all, some people are just too kind and have a great life, they don't sympathize with ordinary people, they only sympathize with how hard and difficult it is for the great people who are high above them, as for whether he can be looked down upon by the big people Well, don't care at all.

Right now, the true face of the Mu family has been revealed. Those who sympathize with the Mu family are speechless at the moment. What the court forced, what is the last resort, the Mu family is like this!

All of a sudden, the common people became angry. They felt that the Mu family was a bit pitiful when they were driven by folk rumors, but now they see that the Mu family is not worthy of pity at all!
Damn the Mu family!

After all, most people sympathize with the innocent Lishu in Yunnan more than the superior Mu family.

We are all common people, and we have had a hard time living a good life. Now because of the ambition of the Mu family, many families in Yunnan have been destroyed, and how many wives and children have been separated. A military disaster has caused more than half of Yunnan to bleed in three months. people died in the turmoil.

How can ordinary people who want to live a peaceful life tolerate the Mu family?
The angry people shouted that the Mu family should pay for their lives and that the Mu family should die.

The crowd is turbulent, this is public opinion.

Chen looked at the turbulent public opinion in horror, the people shouting "scum", "traitor" and "go to death", Chen was really afraid, she realized that she might die, but she still wanted to struggle.

"Where is the emperor? I want to see the emperor, I want to see the emperor!"

"Your Majesty! My Mu family has guarded the southwest for your Zhu family in the past. It's not just hard work. How many members of my Mu family have died in battle? Now the emperor really wants to let my Mu family die? Does the Mu family have a gift from the emperor Taizu?" The death-free coupon!"

Chen's shout brought Zhu Youxiao to the front desk.

Seeing Zhu Youxiao coming out wearing the five-claw dragon robe, the people knelt down and shouted long live.

Zhu Youxiao looked at Mrs. Chen and asked, "Is it possible to avoid treason by avoiding death?"

The Chen family avoided talking about it, and just shouted: "Your Majesty, my Mu family has worked hard without merit, how can the Zhu family be so heartless?"

Zhu Youxiao asked the people to stand up one after another. He even personally helped an old man who came from Yunnan to help the old man dust off his body. Looking at the excited old man, Zhu Youxiao sighed softly: "Mu family, Really hard work.”

"But you are not guarding Yunnan for the Zhu family, you are guarding Yunnan for the people of Yunnan. You are relying on the people of the world for your rich clothes and food, prosperity and wealth!"

"I want to let you go, my heart is made of flesh, but how innocent are the people in Yunnan?!"

"You can count, because of your selfishness, how many families in Yunnan have been ruined, and their wives and children have been separated? How many families have lost their children and grandchildren?"

Zhu Youxiao sighed deeply: "I will remember all the achievements of the Mu family."

"But you shouldn't, you shouldn't bet the lives of millions of people in Yunnan on your prosperity and wealth, and the people deserve to pave the way for you?"

"I miss the old love of the Mu family, but I will not ignore the common people in the world, hundreds of millions of people, just because of the old love of the Mu family."

"Don't say I can't tolerate you, it means that I can tolerate you, the sky can tolerate you? Can the common people tolerate you?"

With that said, Zhu Youxiao sighed again: "Let's judge according to the law."

Qiao Yunsheng immediately said: "The Mu family in Yunnan colluded with the thieves to split our Ming territory, sent troops to harm Yunnan, disrespected the holy order, and caused the people in Yunnan to be displaced, fined and confiscated their property, and ransacked all families!"

Hearing that the whole family was copying and beheading, the people knelt down and shouted long live.

Hearing the people's shouts of long live, Zhu Youxiao sighed again, looked at the Mu family and others who had been limp on the ground like mud, and then looked at Mrs. Song, Zhu Youxiao said: "Don't say I don't Nostalgic for old love, I will not let the Mu family become extinct, Mu Tianbo has never participated in the rebellion, I will not touch him, the blood of the Mu family, I will protect it for you."

Hearing this, Mrs. Song couldn't help being moved, and slowly leaned over: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

The people saw that the emperor was nostalgic, and the emperor would soften his heart, but the emperor was always on the side of the people. Knowing this, the people were satisfied.

Haven't you seen that the emperor gave up even the Mu family who worked so hard to guard Yunnan for the court for the sake of the people?

This is the real Son of Heaven.

"Long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor, long live my emperor!"

In Shan Hu Long Live, Zhu Youxiao left the public trial stand.

After Qiao Yunsheng's sentencing, everyone in the Mu family was taken directly to the opposite execution ground, and then their heads fell to the ground with a big knife.

The execution efficiency of the imperial court is so fast. If you say that the whole family will be copied and executed, it will be copied and executed everywhere. It will be solved on the spot without delay.

As the heads of the Mu family fell to the ground, the people cheered and cheered one after another.

When the Mu family was settled, the Yunnan chieftains were brought up.

The reason for the lifting was that the chieftains in Yunnan had been so frightened by the beheading scene that their legs were weak.

If the knife doesn't fall on me, I don't know it hurts, but if I lose my head, it will never be a big deal. Now that it's really my turn to lose my head, how can these chieftains not be afraid?
It was everyone crying bitterly and pouring out feces and urine, which undoubtedly exposed the ugly scene in front of the eyes of the people.

Compared with the Mu family before, these chieftains are now even more disgusting to the common people, and Qiao Yunsheng is still going on trial, still confiscating his family property and beheading all his families.

One by one, the chieftains were dragged to the execution platform, their heads were pressed, their swords were held high, and their heads fell to the ground.

On this day, the chieftain of the Mu family, Yunnan, had hundreds of heads falling to the ground, and the heads were rolling, making many caring people shudder.
