Rule over Ming Dynasty

Chapter 285

"I'm the emperor's relative, are you crazy?" Zhou Jing asked in a panic as his pants were wet.

Wang Yue knew that what he had done could not be understood by these people, just like when he beheaded Li Guangming because of Hu Daniu at the beginning, many people thought that his starting point was not for a grassroots.

It's just that he knew in his heart that he had seen too much suffering in the world in Border Pass and Anlu, and he was insulated from sharing the blessing of peace.

Now that the emperor is rectifying the finances to save the common people, he knows that if he wants to quickly quell the rebellion caused by the powerful, the only way to quickly quell it is to use thunderous means.

Whether it was for the common people to get rid of this great harm, or for the court to smoothly rectify the finances, he had a reason to use Shang Fang's sword to kill the son-in-law.

Wang Yue knew that the person in front of him had a special status, but he also knew what he needed to do: "I'm not crazy! Since you have no law of the king and disregard the emperor's order, you are the one I want to kill today!"

Huh?
The people around felt Wang Yue's pride, and couldn't help but look at this tall old man seriously, as if they were reacquainted with the famous king who beheaded him.

"My son-in-law is the emperor's uncle. You abused Shang Fang's sword and beheaded me. You... how will you explain to His Majesty?" Zhou Jing seemed even more flustered, and threatened again.

This……

The people around heard Zhou Jing's threat, but they knew that they would not dare to kill him.

Although it has always been preached that princes break the law and the common people are the same crime, but since ancient times, they have ruled the people but not the power, not to mention that the son-in-law in front of him is indeed the uncle of the current emperor.

Wang Yue actually thought about this, but he quickly said firmly: "Since you are the emperor's uncle, you should support the emperor's decision! Today you take the lead in opposing His Majesty's administration, and you are disloyal and unrighteous. It is to eliminate harm for His Majesty!"

After speaking, he stopped talking nonsense with Zhou Jing, and waved his hand directly to ask Lu Song to put Zhou Jing on the execution platform, and he wanted to use Shang Fang's sword to kill the current court son-in-law.

It is not my intention to be named Marquis, but it makes the world peaceful.

If these dignitaries are unwilling to make such a concession, for the sake of avoiding the bondage of usury for the entire Chinese nation, he doesn't mind killing them all.

"No, no, you can't do this!" Zhou Jing felt the murderous intent on Wang Yue's body, and he collapsed to the ground in horror.

At this moment, the news that Zhou Jing was arrested by Wang Yue had already been sent back to the son-in-law's mansion, and the princess of Chongqing who heard the news was rushing here.

The spring sun hangs high in the sky, and the surrounding area of ​​the execution platform looks like a sea of ​​people.

Since the Hongzhi Dynasty, the imperial court had beheaded the most corrupt official of Ming Dynasty, Li Min, former Minister of the Household Department, and then beheaded Zhou Shou, Qingyunhou, the first foreign relative of Ming Dynasty, and now Zhou Jing, the first son-in-law of the dynasty.

Judging from these actions alone, the emperor certainly showed his iron side, but it also showed the world his determination to change the Ming Dynasty.

It has been more than 120 years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Although it is still the most powerful country in the world, many internal problems have actually been exposed.

It's just that when the ninth emperor was ushered in, the new emperor never preached any new policies, but the country was thriving, and it was for the development of thousands of compatriots.

"Hurry up, the king will behead his son-in-law!"

"Which king beheaded? And which son-in-law?"

"Ah? Wang Yue wants to kill Zhou Jing, did you hear wrong?"

……

As the news spread here, it quickly attracted a large group of onlookers, and soon surrounded the execution ground again.

Zhou Jing had already been escorted to the execution platform, and was kneeling towards the east.

God seemed to have played a big joke with him, he was still a high-ranking son-in-law just now, but now he has become a prisoner.

Even if this kind of thing was put into a dream, I would never imagine that my majestic son-in-law would be beheaded, but everything in front of me seemed so real.

"Do you really want to kill the son-in-law?"

"Can it be fake?"

"The name of the king's beheading is true!"

……

The onlookers had already surrounded the execution platform three times inside and three times outside. Now that Zhou Jing was about to be executed, they couldn't help talking about it.

In fact, until now, many onlookers couldn't believe that this matter was true, but Zhou Jing, the son-in-law, was indeed put on the execution platform.

Xu Hong and a group of Xinke Scholars were in a nearby shop to assist the officials of the household department to check the accounts. When they heard the news, they rushed over to watch. At this time, they swallowed in secret surprise.

In this spring, Wang Yue walked onto the execution platform holding Shang Fang's sword.

In fact, Wang Yue's age is not young, and he is already considered an old man. Just looking at his figure, there is something just like what his poem said: "There are many people with white heads who are not idle, and they only want to cut off the evil spirits with their bodies."

This……

Xu Hong looked at the teacher who rejected a large group of himself, and suddenly felt the blood rushing up, and this stalwart body was firmly burned in his mind.

Wang Yue's killing intent is now fully revealed, he has seen too much life and death at the border, and seen too much poverty among the people, and now he wants to create a bright world for this dynasty with his own hands.

Just at this moment, a voice sounded from outside the crowd: "The princess is here!"

Princess Chongqing finally arrived, and she saw Zhou Jing on the execution platform from a distance in the sedan chair.

Although she knew that Zhou Jing didn't really love her, but it was a couple after all, not to mention it was for her own business, so she naturally didn't want anything to happen to Zhou Jing.

When Zhou Jing saw Princess Chongqing appear, his eyes flashed with joy and he said, "Save me!"

The princess of Chongqing had a look of anger on her face, and she stopped Wang Yue on the execution platform, "Bold! Stop me!"

She is a veritable proud daughter of heaven, she has been doted on by her father and emperor since she was a child, and even her husband has been greatly honored.

In the Chenghua Dynasty, as Zhu Jianshen's sister, he naturally became the emperor's guest, and even the demon queen would sell herself a little bit.

Although the relationship with this emperor's nephew has become estranged in recent years, when I was a child, I often went to Qingning Palace, and Zhu Youtang's aunt's name was sweet.

The princess of Chongqing never expected that a small censor from Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate would dare to push her husband to the guillotine, which is simply a joke in the world.

"Hey, one step too late!"

Seeing the imposing princess of the empire arriving, the onlookers couldn't help sighing secretly.

After Wang Yue heard the princess's arrival, he was still unmoved, he didn't even look at the princess, and signaled Lu Song to hold her down.

Princess Chongqing's pupils contracted, as if seeing Wang Yue's insistence, she said angrily, "Bold rebel, are you going to rebel?"

Wang Yue never forgot that he was holding Shang Fang's sword, so he raised Shang Fang's horse-killing sword high, and then swung it fiercely at Zhou Jing's neck.

For a moment, the audience suddenly became silent.

puff!
As the Shangfang Zhanma Sword in Wang Yue's hand drew a beautiful arc in the air, a stream of blood splashed high, and Zhou Jing's head rolled to the ground.

"Ah! Really beheaded?"

"Is this how the dignified son-in-law beheaded?"

"Wang's beheading, it's really... really well-deserved reputation!"

……

The onlookers saw that Zhou Jing's head was cut off neatly by Wang Yue, and they were extremely shocked, but they couldn't help but secretly marvel at Wang Yue.

Although there was a precedent in this dynasty that the prince's son-in-law was bestowed to death as early as the Taizu period, but now that the emperor's family and relatives have grown stronger, the emperor usually backs down.

It's just that who would have imagined that the majestic son-in-law would die at the hands of a minister of this dynasty, a sinner who was restored only after the new emperor ascended the throne.

This……

Seeing Wang Yue's feat with their own eyes, Xu Hong and a group of Xinke Scholars felt as if they wanted to get to know the old man again, silently feeling his indomitable spirit in doing things.

"Ah...wait, I want to kill your whole family!"

Princess Chongqing was about to go berserk, but a mass of rage welled up in her heart, and she passed out after spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Wang Yue saw that Zhou Jing's head was cut off by himself, but he didn't feel much.

Even if he is a high-ranking son-in-law, in his heart, he is no different from Li Zhiqing in the tormented place, even more hateful than Li Zhiqing.

That day in the imperial study, he saw Yu Ming who was forced to look like a ghost by loan sharks, but he knew that there were not a few people who had the same experience as Yu Ming, but no one cared about them all the time.

Now that the emperor has discovered this problem and is determined to solve this problem, he has given himself such great trust that he is willing to be the sword of such a wise king.

Wang Yue looked around the crowd, and said slowly, "I am the Censor of the Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and I am ordered to investigate the finances to eliminate the harm of usury! Anyone who dares to obstruct the court's law will be executed without pardon!"

"Caomin pay respects to Wang Qingtian!"

"If there are monarchs and ministers like this, the Ming Dynasty will prosper!"

"Eliminating the harm of usury is good governance, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

……

The tens of thousands of people present reacted one after another. After seeing Wang Yue's firm stance on financial management, they also knelt down and worshiped the tunnel.

Xu Hong and other Xinke Scholars saw that Wang Yue, who was not afraid of the powerful, was also deeply impressed by this master, so they bowed deeply to Wang Yue on the execution platform.

Maybe they don't have the name of teachers and students, but they have received this kind of spiritual inheritance, and they are willing to create a better tomorrow for this dynasty regardless of the consequences like Wang Yue.

Zhou Jing's upper body was still gushing blood, and the bright red blood dripped continuously from the execution platform, at the same time kicking off a massacre in the capital today.

"What did you bring me here for?"

"After the meritorious deeds of this son, who would dare to kill me?"

"Woooo...I was wrong, please forgive my life!"

……

Although it is true that there are not enough manpower to guard one hundred stores, when they learned that a certain store was attacked, the Metropolitan Procuratorate also summoned manpower to arrest them.

The gang of rich and powerful people is the gang of debt collectors who are actually a group of hooligans. These gangs really dare to beat ordinary people to death, but they still lack confidence in the face of the officials from the search department of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

If ordinary people are killed, the benefactors behind them can easily settle the matter.It's just that the Metropolitan Procuratorate is the highest second-rank yamen, not to mention that there are thousands of households in it, so they dare not kill them no matter what.

On the other hand, the Metropolitan Procuratorate was ordered to guard the store, and with the order of Zuodu Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they naturally arrested all these "rebels", and directly killed the gangsters who resisted.

Wang Yue was unmoved by the begging for mercy of these sons and brothers. Once such a person finds an opportunity, he will continue to do evil, so it is better to solve it now.

"Do you still want to kill?"

The people in the capital watched the four young masters being led to the execution platform, and couldn't help but secretly swallowed.

puff!
puff!
puff!
……

Under the witness of the people in the capital, Wang Yue used Shang Fang's sword to behead the four troublemakers, and used blood to pave the way for the court to clean up the finances.

"I am the Jinyi guard of Beizhen Fusi, the emperor's personal guard, you have no right to kill me!" Qian Chengzong said clearly when facing death threats.

After Wang Yue beheaded the leaders of several troublemakers, he only let go of Qian Chengzong, a Jinyi guard with a special status.

Naturally, it wasn't because of Qian Chengzong's status as a relative of the state, the Jinyiwei was mainly used as the emperor's personal guard, and Wang Yue knew very well that only the innate ability could be executed.

In fact, this arrogant Beizhen Fusi Jinyi guard was only one night longer than the others.

Taking advantage of the emperor's departure from the capital to make trouble suddenly this time is undoubtedly an act of provoking imperial power.If Zhu Youtang hadn't left behind, and Wang Yue was indeed a rare and capable minister, I don't know which direction the matter will develop.

Wang Yue beheaded the troublemaker with Shangfang's sword, and the news soon spread to the streets and alleys of Beijing.

In the south of the city, in a hidden house.

Ma Wensheng knew that Zhu Youtang's Spring Festival would definitely not turn back, so he took advantage of this "good opportunity" to plan this "riot".

It's just that after thousands of calculations, it never occurred to Wang Yue to pull out the Shangfang sword.

Not to mention the sons and relatives they encouraged, even the first son-in-law was beheaded by Wang Yue, and everyone else was undoubtedly cannon fodder.

"We have underestimated the emperor!" The red-nosed old man couldn't help but sigh bitterly when he learned the whole story

The oldest old man knew that Wang Yue was the biggest accomplice, so he expressed his opinion bitterly: "Wang Yue is simply more hateful than Wang Zhi, and he shouldn't have been given a life back then!"

"What should we do now?" The old man who had been silent all this time seemed very sober, but he asked the most urgent question at the moment.

Originally, they thought that while the emperor was going to the spring festival, they would incite the powerful and powerful in the capital to fight against the imperial power, so that they could mess up the imperial court's financial rectification.

It's just that all of them underestimated the current Holy Majesty.Since all the important ministers have restrained their relatives to accept the imperial court's financial rectification, now Wang Yue is simply the emperor's number one general, so their plan has actually failed.

Ma Wensheng knew that things could no longer be forced, and it seemed that Zhizhu was holding his hand: "The current situation may not be a bad thing!"

"Brother Ma, what do you say?" The oldest man's eyes lit up slightly.

Ma Wensheng met everyone's gaze, and expressed his opinion: "The emperor wants to rectify the finance this time, why should we stop it, let him offend all the nobles first!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone present immediately understood, and silently exchanged a smug look.

Ma Wensheng's complacency didn't last long. When he returned home from the secret meeting, he received a sad news: his precious son participated in it, but Wang Yue beheaded him.

puff!
Ma Wensheng knew very well that his son was lawless, otherwise his son would not have killed people in the street, but he did not expect that he would die at the hands of Wang Yue now, and he spurted out a mouthful of blood.
