The Wanli Emperor of the Ming Dynasty was extremely rebellious

Chapter 145 The End of Collaboration and Selling Out the Country

Wang Chonggu saw the chaos among the crowd on the street and thought he could escape.

Who would have thought that those young men who rushed up would be dealt with by the people on both sides.

The common people didn't know what was going on. Not only did they throw rotten vegetable leaves and rotten eggs, but some also threw stones at the youngsters.

That’s not all. There were actually many people in the crowd who stretched out their legs to kick those young men.

Those youngsters were caught off guard and were soon kicked to the ground, rolling like gourds.

That’s nothing.

The so-called masters he really counted on were knocked over by countless bricks before they even reached the Jinyiwei!
Now he understood.

The little emperor had already arranged everything, and they had no hope at all.

Perhaps, he had looked down on the little emperor from the very beginning.

The northern barbarians invaded, Haibai rebelled, the border troops assisted in the internal operation, and the northern barbarian cavalry robbed food supplies, etc.

The moves he prepared seemed to be of no use to the little emperor.

The little emperor seemed to be fighting randomly, but he miraculously regained Hetao!
He didn't even know how the young emperor put down the Haibai Rebellion.

This kid is obviously pretending to know nothing and nothing, so as to lure them into the trap!
There is a high possibility that the relatives hidden by their three powerful families will be lured out in this way!
At this time, he really wanted to tell those hidden relatives not to be fooled by this kid.

However, he was no longer able to speak.

He could only look towards the direction of the imperial city with horror on his face.

At this time, Wanli was also looking at Wang Chonggu through a telescope.

This guy Wang Chonggu seemed to have understood something.

However, this guy was no longer able to speak.

Wanli looked at Wang Chonggu's frightened expression and the smelly things all over his head and face, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly, and he smiled evilly to himself.

Old man, you wait and see if you can fight me.

This is just the beginning.

I will not stop until I have wiped out all nine generations of your clan!
None of the three powerful families in Puzhou can escape.

The eight imperial merchants can forget about popping out from under the rocks.

At this time, the commotion in the crowd had gradually subsided. Wang Chonggu, who was covered in dirty water, was washed with several buckets of water from the moat and then dragged onto the execution platform.

Then, the Dali Temple official stood on the execution platform, holding the charges and reading them aloud.

Wang Chonggu's crime is not just a traitor to the country.

This guy bought his way to his official position by bribing people!
Wang Chonggu was from the same class as Yan Maoqing and Gao Gong. In the beginning, he actually cooperated with Yan Maoqing to monopolize the salt business of Hedong Salt Field. Then he bought an official position from Yan Song through Yan Maoqing. Then he used his class relationship to bribe Gao Gong huge amounts of money to curry favor with him, so that Gao Gong accepted his nephew Zhang Siwei as his disciple and helped him become the Minister of War.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him, who was ranked third from the bottom in the second class, to rise so quickly to the position of Minister of War.

In addition, Wang Chonggu used his power to occupy the Hedong Salt Field for a long time, and he continued to occupy it even after Yan Song and his son fell.

He also colluded with Tongke Fang Fengshi, as well as Wu Dui, Zheng Luo and the governors, inspectors and generals of the northwestern border towns to withhold food and wages for the border troops.

Even when Altan Khan marched westward to invade Yilibali and Dogandusi, the chieftains who had surrendered to the Ming Dynasty desperately begged for help. Wang Chonggu not only refused to allow the border troops to rescue, he also strictly ordered the border troops not to harass Altan Khan's westward marching troops, saying that Altan Khan was going to pray to Buddha!
Many chieftains of Yilibali and Dogandusi became alienated from the Ming Dynasty, and Wang Chonggu was the culprit.

In addition, this guy killed innocent people and took credit for his promotion, placed his relatives in control of border towns with ulterior motives, controlled military supplies and passed off inferior goods as good ones, colluded with the northern barbarians to invade Liaodong, secretly supported the Jianzhou Jurchen rebellion, and brutally killed border army generals who dared to impeach him.

Pei Chengzu, the garrison commander of Fushun, was brutally murdered by Wang Gao by being disemboweled just because he had impeached him!

The evil deeds committed by this guy are simply too numerous to list. As the Dali Temple officials were reading, the people around them began to curse loudly. Rotten vegetable leaves, rotten eggs and other things rained down on the execution platform. Some people even picked up stones and clods of earth on the ground and threw them at it!

Seeing this, Wang Chonggu's face turned pale and his eyes lost their luster, just like a dead person.

All his actions were discovered by the little emperor!
The image of a hero that he had worked so hard to promote completely collapsed!

His ugly face was completely exposed to the world!
He wanted to be remembered forever for his good name, but the little emperor made him infamous forever!
After the Dali Temple officials finished reading out the charges, the execution platform was filled with foul-smelling things again.

The executioner couldn't help but pinch his nose.

Upon seeing this, the officials from the Ministry of Justice could only order someone to bring a few buckets of river water to flush the body before they went forward to verify the identity of the person.

Then, the censor of the Inspectorate signed the token, and the executioner struck with the sword. This unforgivable traitor finally ended his sinful life.

However, this is just the beginning.

The three great families of Puzhou collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country. All their descendants and in-laws who could be captured were executed!

It will take several days to kill all of them.

The people of the capital applauded and said that the killing was well done!
This is the fate of treasonous behavior, the whole family will be executed and the infamy will last forever!
After Wanli finished all this, he began to think about how to discipline the civil servants in the court.

These guys are clearly going against him as the emperor.

Many officials knew that the three powerful families in Puzhou were collaborating with the enemy and selling out the country.

But they pretend not to know.

Not only did they pretend not to know, they also encouraged those young people who really didn't know to submit petitions to the three major families in Puzhou to plead for mercy, and even went to the execution ground to cause trouble.

Do these guys really think that the law doesn't punish everyone?

He has already killed two rounds, but these civil servants are still not scared away. Why is that?

This issue must be clarified.

After he returned to the imperial study, he immediately ordered someone to call Luo Sigong over.

The secret guards did a really good job this time, and it's time to reward them.

After the emperor and his subjects exchanged greetings, he solemnly asked, "Si Gong, were there any casualties among the secret guards?"

He saw that the strong men in the crowd were all carrying short blades, and they had taken them out, and there seemed to be blood.

Luo Sigong said solemnly, "Your Majesty, they really invited a lot of experts this time, and many of the secret guards were able to react and dodge the attack.

In the fierce battle that followed, five secret guards were killed and more than ten were injured."

These guys were really powerful. The one he saw seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. When a brick suddenly hit him, the guy turned his head in an instant and slashed with a knife with his backhand!

Wanli nodded slowly and said, "They are all good. Each of those killed in action will receive a pension of 1,000 taels. Their descendants will be promoted to regular soldiers of the Jinyiwei, and at least be granted the rank of a small flag. Each of the injured will receive 100 taels."

Their sacrifice was worth it.

Hearing this, Luo Sigong couldn't help but be moved and said, "Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Wanli sighed slightly and then asked, "How is it going? Did you send anyone to keep an eye on those young troublemakers? What did they do after they returned?"

Luo Sigong nodded repeatedly and said, "I have sent people to keep an eye on them. Those guys seemed to think it was an honor to be injured. Many of them did not even treat their injuries and went straight back to their respective offices to show off."

Humph, you still think it’s an honor, right?

This trend must not be allowed to continue, this idiot must be dealt with.

It's not your fault that you have a problem with your brain, but it's wrong for you to take advantage of your problem to openly go against me.

Wanli snorted inwardly, then said decisively: "Order someone to write down all their names and make a detailed list for me."

Luo Sigong bowed repeatedly and said, "I obey your order."

Wanli said coldly, "Next time there are young people like this causing trouble, order your men to beat them up severely, break their arms and legs, and make them unable to even crawl. Then see how they can show off again."

Uh, officials who have not been dismissed are also beaten like this!

Luo Sigong was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed and said, "Your humble servant understands."

Wanli thought about it carefully again, then waved his hand and said, "Go down."

Luo Sigong quickly bowed and took his leave.

Wanli looked at the bright sunshine outside the window and already had an idea in his mind.

Not only did he want to kill, he also wanted to deal with those officials who dared to stand up against him.

No matter what the reason is, even if you are deceived, you must deal with it!

Humph, ignorance is fearless, right?
I make you ignorant and I make you fearless.
