Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 171 The Nightmare Town Case

The blood-red full moon rose to the top of Fengtian Hall, adding a bit of horror to this terrible banquet.

In front of the Golden Palace, when the emperor announced the cancellation of their privileges, the old folks who didn't know whether they were crying or not, suddenly knelt down and cried loudly as if they were mourning their wives.

"Your Majesty, we were wrong, give us another chance..."

"My Majesty, please, don't be so heartless, the seventh uncle of our second uncle and third uncle, but the third uncle of your sixth uncle..."

"Shut up." Zhu Yuanzhang turned his head away, not looking at them. "You guys let us down so much, we don't want to see you again! In the future, you don't have to go to the capital to pay New Year's greetings anymore, go back and be your ordinary people!"

"Your Majesty! You can't be so heartless..." The old folks still wanted to cry.But Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly:
"Whoever talks nonsense, we will cut off his tongue!"

The crying stopped abruptly...

"If it wasn't for the sake of the old folks, we would have chopped off your dog's head long ago, get out!" Zhu Yuanzhang swung his sleeve violently.

"Get out!" The sword bearers also yelled in unison.

The old folks had to get the shit out of here...

~~
After reprimanding the noble heroes and fellow villagers, there are still more difficult problems to deal with.

"Pour the wine and have another drink." Zhu Yuanzhang ordered.

The palace people hurriedly poured wine for the rest.

"There are no ordinary people here now." Zhu Yuanzhang held his wine glass and said with a gloomy expression: "We can have something more exciting."

As he spoke, he ordered in a deep voice: "Bring Ding Bin up!"

The Ouchi guards escorted Ding Bin, who was wearing a prison uniform, to Dan Bi.

"Ding Bin, intercept and privately deal with the person who sued the court, can you admit this crime?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"We admit it." Ding Bin nodded.

After Li You was roasted, he knew that he was bound to die.

Li You is just a wicked young man, his own crimes are far more and more serious than him.How could the emperor spare himself?
That being the case, he didn't need to beg for mercy any more, it was just a shame.

There was also no need to pull Li Qi out again.In this way, uncle will definitely appreciate it and take good care of his children...

The Korean man on the side heaved a sigh of relief.Although he knew that Ding Bin would not confess Li Qi, he had to confirm it himself before he could rest assured.

"What about the crime of killing innocent people indiscriminately and arresting civilian husbands by force?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"I didn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. What I killed were guilty people who deliberately delayed the progress and failed to meet the construction standards. It's like fighting a war. If you don't strictly enforce military discipline and kill decisively, how can you repair Zhongdu City quickly and well? Build this magnificent Forbidden City?" Ding Bin didn't recognize this, but instead he said proudly:

"I'm impatient. But I just want to quickly build the capital city for the emperor. I'm guilty of being stupid and loyal, and I'm guilty of wanting to share the emperor's worries too much!"

"You fart!" Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help being furious when he heard that he was still trying to quibble, and cursed: "You still keep saying it's for us? For us, are you building a Zhongdu city built on corpses and innocent souls? Is this your loyalty? ?!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the four guards lifted up the red carpet on the ground, revealing the bones and dozens of rotting corpses underneath...

The left and right guests changed their colors in horror, and they couldn't help getting up one after another, and many of the second generation turned their heads and vomited.

I drank a stomach full of bitter wine and ate a stomach full of bitter vegetables, and all I spit out was bitter water...

"These corpses were brought back from Fangqiu Lake. It's not a contingency. We have already let Wu Zuo examine them. They are all peasants and craftsmen from the mountains, south and seas! They were conscripted by us to build palaces for us. They are considered by you They were abused like cattle and horses, and finally died in a foreign land for no apparent reason, and there was no place to bury them!" Zhu Yuanzhang pointed at the remains with trembling fingers and said:
"They survived the former Yuan Dynasty, but died in my Ming Dynasty! They survived the construction of the Yellow River for the former Yuan Dynasty, but died in the construction of the Central Capital for us! We always think that no matter how poor we are, we are worse than those emperors of the Yuan Dynasty." It is much stronger; no matter how bad our Ming Dynasty is, it is still far stronger than Qianyuan! But looking at it now, it is hard to say. Maybe we are not as good as others..."

Speaking of the second half, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice was hoarse, his eyes were red, and he was crying.

"Is the eternal capital of my Ming Dynasty built on countless bones and innocent souls? Such a Ming Dynasty is worthy of being passed on forever? No! It will only perish in one life! Be the king of subjugation!"

The emperor yelled out the last sentence, shaking his body away.The courtiers could no longer sit still, and hurriedly knelt down and bowed down to plead guilty.

"Your Majesty, calm down, I deserve death for all my crimes, please take care of the dragon's body..."

"No, all of us monarchs and ministers are guilty, and I am the first one!" Zhu Yuanzhang said heartbrokenly, supporting the imperial case:
"It's because we are too inflated, too wishful thinking, disregarding the initial decision of the world and the hardship of people's livelihood, and refusing to listen to dissuasion, we insist on building a Chinese capital out of nothing! We want to plead guilty to these dead people, we have to plead guilty to God, and God sent thunder Kill us, we have no complaints!"

"Your Majesty..." Han Gong took the lead in crying and said: "Don't say any more. Hearing that the emperor has sinned against himself, all the ministers and others will be burned! There are thousands of mistakes, all of which are the fault of the ministers and others. It has nothing to do with the emperor, and it has nothing to do with this The capital city has nothing to do with it. In order to build this central capital city, hundreds of millions of people’s wealth has been spent—the national policy of moving the capital can’t afford any mistakes.”

"Let's not talk about this for now." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, pointing to those dead bodies and said, "Wu Zuo also said that the dozens of fresh ones all died half a month ago."

As he spoke, he fixedly looked at Li Shanchang and said, "What happened half a month ago? Or is it because we are going back to our hometown and we have to deal with a batch of hidden dangers quickly?"

"Your Majesty, there is something else hidden about this matter, please allow the old minister to report it alone later." Li Shanchang hurriedly cupped his hands.

"No need, you can report here!" Zhu Yuanzhang said decisively.

"Yes..." Li Shanchang could only sigh, and slowly explained:
"At the end of June, the Golden Palace was completed. However, soon after, I learned from the guards that when they were on duty at night, they often heard the sound of clashing iron objects on the roof of the palace, as well as shouting and screaming. It's like someone fighting with weapons.

"I personally guarded the palace at night. I really heard these weird voices. I ordered people to arrest the craftsmen. After torture and interrogation, I learned that they were bewitched by the Ming religion. When building the golden palace, they cast various spells and towns to curse The superior and future emperor, and our Ming Dynasty.

"Your Majesty was shocked, and quickly sent people to search carefully. Sure enough, many treasures and charms were found, which were sealed in the warehouse of the Ministry of Construction. Your Majesty can check them at any time. Of course, everything has been dealt with now. I also asked Longhushan Zhang Tianshi to perform it." Tianlei rectifies the law, and all evils will not invade. Your Majesty can stay at ease.

"But these evil thieves have ulterior motives and dare to curse the emperor, future emperors and the Ming Dynasty. According to the law, they should be executed everywhere!" Li Shanchang raised his head and said with a red face:

"But I consider that once this matter spreads, it may damage the reputation of the superior, and cast a shadow over the grand ceremony of moving the capital. This is the first-class prosperity since the founding of our Ming Dynasty! I will never allow a single flaw! So The minister used the power of doing things cheaply to secretly execute the civilian husbands and craftsmen involved in the incident.

"I'll be responsible for the eternal infamy, it has nothing to do with the superior!"
