my days with tyrants

Chapter 29
However, the problem of Confucian scholars in Zhu Yuanzhang's time was not serious.

At this time, they were actually very cautious, carefully accumulating strength under the shadow of this tyrant.

There are even those who refuse to cooperate.

The great Confucian scholars in the south of the Yangtze River never forget their Hu and Yuan prosperity, the era when serfdom was possible, the era when they could do whatever they wanted with their tenants as long as the foreign rulers were well served, just like our Qing Dynasty Officials can't always forget their prosperous age where they can charge 80.00% of the fire consumption.So many of them are still not sober, and they still refuse to come out to serve this tyrant. In addition, they also want to avoid being accused of killing the whole family by him.

I'm not an official, so you can't catch me and peel the real grass, right?

But Zhu Yuanzhang cooperated very well and came up with a system in which scholars in the world are not used by the king.

To put it simply, if I recruit, you have to come and serve as an official for me. If you don't come, I will kill your whole family, but you have to bear with how I torment you after you come.

I'll hit you with a stick, you have to endure it.

I will kill your whole family on charges, but you still have to endure it.

Anyway...

My knife is very fast, so bear with me.

The golden cup will drink with you, and the white blade will not spare you.

This sentence is what he said to the civil servant Ru Taisu.

Therefore, the literati's evaluation of Zhu Yuanzhang later was that he took all of the Confucian scholars and used them like sand.

In fact, he did it on purpose. He knew the harm these guys did to the people, but if he didn't give them an official position, it would be difficult for him to find a reason to kill him. So he forcibly recruited them to be an official, and then killed them when he got the chance, even if he was just in a bad mood. I have to pull it out and beat him to death first.

For example, the unlucky Ru Taisu wrote Zhu Yuanzhang dizzy because of the quotations and allusions written in the memorial, which made Zhu Yuanzhang dizzy and didn't understand the meaning of more than 1 words.

Then he became angry from embarrassment, and dragged out the court staff!
Under his tyranny, Confucian scholars could only endure and wait in dormancy.

Fortunately, they are the best at this!
So there is no conflict between them and Yang Feng for the time being, not to mention that Yang Feng has no interest in them...

Now Yang Feng is only interested in teasing Zhu Yuanzhang.

Three mountain gates.

Accompanied by the joyful laughter of the children running, a carriage drove slowly on the stone-paved street.

This carriage is completely open, and there is a large seat at the back, which is completely wrapped in animal skin. It should be bear skin with long hair. Behind the seat is a place for luggage, with a camouflage rucksack.There are also wooden boards on both sides of the luggage compartment, with embassy vehicles on the left and diplomatic immunity on the right. On the top of the backrest of the seat is a wooden cage. Inside is an iron coupon, with densely carved small characters on the half-centimeter-thick wrought iron board. , all characters are filled with gold, shining brightly in the sun.

However, there was no coachman, so the two horses were driven by Ambassador Yang, who was leaning on the seat, but there was also a small chair between the two sides of the seat and the guardrail.

On the small chair on the left sits a maidservant.

"stop!"

The military officers who had been waiting in front of Sanshan Gate stopped in front of the horse.

Ambassador Yang stood up proudly.

Like Xerxes rising from his throne.

Xiaoyu silently pulled back a thing that looked like a door bolt beside her.

Then part of the guardrail immediately fell outwards, and at the same time, the two wooden boards on it were opened, so that two steps led directly to the car.

"Dai Gui, a hundred households left behind on the right, met Ambassador Yang."

The officer said, clasping his hands.

Yang Feng is a foreign envoy, but not an envoy of a vassal state, so the rank is not easy to determine. Zhu Yuanzhang did not mention this issue. Considering that Zhang Xianzong in Ming Dynasty was designated as the fifth rank, he was automatically regarded as the fifth rank Look at it, it's okay for a hundred households of the sixth rank to salute him first, and besides, he doesn't perform five prostrations and three kowtows when he sees the emperor. It's better for everyone to be confused on this issue.

"Someone wants to play outside the city, why do you stop him?"

Yang Feng said proudly with his chin upturned.

"Someone has not granted your order to leave the city, so you should stop at the city gate."

Dai Gui said very simply.

Yang Feng snorted coldly, then stretched out his hand, Xiaoyu quickly climbed onto the seat, held down the four-jin iron coupon for him, raised his hands above his head, knelt down on the carriage and handed it to him...

"Look what this is? This is your emperor's decree, look what is written on it? I enjoy freedom of action, freedom of speech, do you want me to explain to you what freedom is? And you see this Did you write these eight characters on the carriage? Embassy vehicles, diplomatic immunity, do you know what diplomatic immunity means? I don’t know, let me tell you, even if I committed a crime, you have no right to arrest me, and I think the same Wherever I go is also my freedom, and you have no right to stop it.

Remember, this is the imperial decree of your emperor!

What, you want to protest? "

Yang Feng exploded in an instant, grabbed the iron coupon with one hand and threw it at Dai Gui's face, spitting wildly like a foreign consul in the late Qing Dynasty.

Dai Gui wiped his face with a melancholy expression.

Then he stepped back quickly, not knowing whether it was to salute, or to avoid the guy's saliva attack.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has ordered you not to leave the city without permission, so without His Majesty's decree, you are not allowed to leave the city without permission."

He said indifferently.

Behind him were hundreds of soldiers waiting in full battle, and above his head were also countless soldiers. He didn't believe that this guy dared to charge forward.

"Did he say which city he left?"

Yang Feng said.

"this?"

Dai Gui was stunned for a moment.

"Why, I have nothing to say? Your emperor said that I am not allowed to go out of the city without his imperial decree, so tell me is it the inner city or the outer city? Isn't the outer city the capital? Since he didn't say whether it is the outer city or the inner city, That means the entire capital is counted by default. Since it is the entire capital, then of course I can go to the outer city. Don’t tell me you have more rights than a hundred households to exclude the outer city from the capital? Hurry up and get out of the way, don’t dodge again Be careful, I will hit you with an iron ticket!

I have the right of immunity, and killing you is at most deportation. "

As Yang Feng said, he boarded his carriage again, and urged the two horses without hesitation.

"In my great Ming land, how dare the barbarians be arrogant?"

Behind Dai Gui, there was an angry shout from inside the city gate.

Immediately afterwards, a horse rushed straight out, and he could see a large number of cavalry behind him, and a strong man in filial piety riding a horse in the middle.

The soldiers with their backs to the city gate quickly separated.

This person came straight.

Dai Gui took a quick step back and let him pass by. The man passed Yang Feng's two driving horses at the speed of Brother Dao grabbing the bag, and stretched out his hand amidst the two horses neighing in fright. He grabbed Yang Feng's clothes, trying to drag him out of the carriage.Xiaoyu screamed in horror and crouched down under his arms with her head in her arms, then Yang Feng smiled and avoided his hand, holding the iron coupon with both hands and slammed on his chest, the guy flew back with a muffled grunt, and followed The war horse galloped past under its crotch, and fell directly on the long street.

But his legs were still hung by the stirrups, so he continued to be dragged forward.

At the same time, a large number of cavalry appeared behind Yang Feng, led by Zhang Fu. Seeing this scene, he took off the small hammer beside the saddle and threw his hand at the horse.

The hammer hit the horse's head.

The war horse fell forward while galloping...

"You like killing horses so much? Last time we met you killed one horse, and today you met another one. People are also a life. We must cherish life. Humans are born by their mothers, and horses are born by their mothers." , you will make its mother very sad."

Yang Feng babbled like a Tang monk possessed.

Zhang Fu didn't bother to pay attention to him, so he quickly dismounted to look at the man, and quickly tested his breath, as if he could really test life and death, then got up and walked towards the filial piety...

"Having seen the Great King, Tan Qianhu just held his breath, thinking that his life is not in danger."

he saluted.

Na Xiaofu nodded, and then he looked at Yang Feng with great interest.

"Iron Coupon!"

Yang Feng said with a pure face while holding the iron coupon.

"Bold, this is His Royal Highness King Yan!"

Zhang Fu shouted.

"I do this when I see his father. Do you think I have to salute him? I do this to his father. If you salute him, what do you make his father think? General Zhang, are you trying to harm him? You This really confuses me!"

Yang Feng said in a daze.

Zhang Fu was so frightened that he quickly shut up.

"Your Excellency is sharp-tongued!"

Zhu Di snorted coldly.

This second-generation tyrant looks slightly darker than his father, and is also thicker, like a bloated Zhu Yuanzhang...

Zhu Yuanzhang has not gone out for many years, and now he is in his 60s, and he has been pampered for many years. He mainly uses his brain. His body shape is definitely incomparable with his youth, but Zhu Di is different. It can be said that it is basically a replica of his father at this age, with a strong back and a waist full of domineering.

He stopped talking nonsense with Yang Feng, and then walked towards that Tan Qianhu.

A general behind him quickly stepped forward, took out a water bag and poured water directly on Tan Qianhu's face, and pinched him in a serious manner, but the latter did not respond.

"I think you should lay him flat, tilt your head to one side, and press on his chest."

The culprit said later.

Zhang Fu and the others turned their heads and glared...

"A group of ignorant mortals, let go of that man and let me do it!"

Yang Feng said with contempt.

Then he got out of the carriage, took the iron ticket, pushed Zhang Fu aside, put the iron ticket on the ground, and under the suspicious eyes of Zhu Di and others, put Tan Qianhu's head on the iron ticket, kept leaning back, and then began to press , while pressing, he looked at Zhang Fu...

"Don't look at it, give him artificial respiration, just hold your breath, and then lie on his mouth and blow it in forcefully, so there can be no air leakage!"

"Uh?"

Zhang Fu was instantly dumbfounded.
