At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 501

"Your Majesty, please stay!"

Zhu Qizhen turned around slowly and asked, "What else do you need?"

Yang Dan suddenly smiled and said: "What I said is all old things 20 years ago. Many of the parties involved have already retired and returned home. Is the emperor really going to investigate to the end?"

"Why don't you check?"

"Your Majesty, I have one last word of advice. If this matter is investigated, it may shake the foundation of the country, and even cause chaos in the world!"

"Then mess it up!"

Zhu Qizhen left a word without expression, turned and left.

Yang Dan was stunned, and then smiled helplessly. Daming's storm is coming.

These incidents involve the entire gentry in the south of the Yangtze River. If the investigation continues, the consequences will be disastrous.

It can be seen that the emperor has made up his mind, and the conflict between the imperial power of the Ming Dynasty and the scholar-bureaucrats has reached an irreconcilable point...

With a bang, the door opened.

Yuan Bin walked in with a bowl of wine and put it in front of Yang Dan.

"Yang Shaoqing, the emperor has a decree, you can go on the road!"

Yang Dan looked at the poisoned wine in front of him, but felt extremely calm in his heart.

The torture he has suffered these days has already made his life worse than death, and he is finally about to be freed.

"The minister leads the decree to thank you!"

Without any hesitation, Yang Dan picked up the poisoned wine and drank it down in one gulp.

In a trance, I suddenly feel that my life is very tired.

It's over, it's over!

The mountain rain is about to come and the wind is all over the building, the emperor's murderous intentions have already started, and the next storm will sweep the entire Ming Dynasty.

It is conceivable that since Sanyang gained power, the foundation established by the Jiangnan gentry for decades will soon collapse.

Such an ending can be regarded as what they deserved. Including myself, what this huge interest group has to do every day is to form cliques and fight all kinds of open and secret battles. What will happen in the end?

Is Daming strong?

Is the life of the people better?
No, neither!
What was exchanged was a mountain of silver and countless properties under the account books.

However, if these things are not brought with us in life, or taken away in death, no matter how brilliant they were in life, they will be nothing but a handful of loess after death.

I think back to when I was young, Han Chuang studied hard for more than ten years, and he also had great ambitions.

Set up your mind for the heaven and earth, set up your life for the people, set your mind for the sages of the past, and create peace for the world!

As time goes by, these words become empty words, even jokes.

everything is over……
-
"Is he gone?"

"Going back to the emperor, Yang Shaoqing drank the poisoned wine and died."

Zhu Qizhen nodded and said, "Yuan Bin, I want to entrust you with an important task."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Bin immediately saluted and said, "Please order, Your Majesty!"

"kill!"

"Kill...who?"

"Killed a lot of people, and these people are either rich or noble, and even have deep roots in the court."

Yuan Bin was a little puzzled, and asked, "The emperor is talking about this case of treason?"

"not quite!"

Zhu Qizhen paused, and then said: "This is an old case, but it is ten times worse than the current treason case. I predict that most of the Jiangnan gentry will be inseparable."

Yuan Bin's expression changed drastically. If the entire Jiangnan gentry participated, it would not be as simple as killing a few people, it would be a war!
The Ming Dynasty ruled the world with scholars. Below the emperor are all officials, and below that are the common people.

Baiguan is the gentry, the hub between the emperor and the common people, if something goes wrong with these people, the entire Ming Dynasty will suffer a catastrophic blow.

At that time, the mountains and rivers will be turbulent, and the wind and rain will be precarious...

How could Zhu Qizhen not understand that once the war machine is turned on, it cannot be stopped until one of the parties completely disappears from this world.

However, he had no choice, nor did he want to choose!
Since the Hongwu period, the imperial court has been very favorable to scholars. Unexpectedly, these people's appetites have grown, and they were finally backlashed. When they thought that the emperor had blocked their way of making money, they even committed regicide!

Zhu Qizhen sighed secretly, now he finally understood why Zhu Yuanzhang would abolish Zhongshu Sheng!
This move is simply not too wise!

However, these people are all-pervasive, without the Ministry of Education, there will be a cabinet, there will be no prime minister, and there will be the chief assistant of the cabinet.

After all, it's all a game between imperial power and prime minister power.

As an emperor, he regards the world as his home, and thousands of people are his own subjects.

The prime minister is different. He is the head of all officials and is only responsible for them.

Therefore, no matter there is disaster or disaster, the officials can only say one thing, so they have to suffer for the people.

hateful!

Can kill!

"I will give you a decree. When you arrive in the south of the Yangtze River, you can use the imperial decree to mobilize troops from various guards. During the investigation process, anyone who disobeys will be killed without mercy!"

Yuan Bin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, and he asked, "Whoever it is... kill them all?"

"Yes, no matter who it is, kill them all, behead first and play later!"

"If the military officer is found, they have soldiers in their hands, I'm afraid it's..."

"You don't need to worry about this. The Nanhai Guard of King Tan is still in Nanjing. Even if there is a mutiny, don't be afraid. You can directly send troops to suppress it. If things get serious, the Three Thousand Battalion, the Fifth Army Battalion, the Shenji Battalion, and the guards everywhere superior!"

Yuan Bin could see that the emperor had made up his mind to carry out a thorough cleansing.

Do whatever it takes, regardless of the consequences, just do it!

He felt more and more that he had a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and at the same time, he also felt the emperor's trust in him.

"I have one last worry!"

Yuan Bin thought about it, but still expressed his doubts: "There are too many people involved in this matter. If they get together, cover each other, and cover each other, things will become very difficult."

Zhu Qizhen had a gloomy face, thought for a while, and then said: "When you arrive at the place, first post a notice in my name to encourage the people to report and expose. As long as they verify the facts, they will be given appropriate rewards, and then find a few typical ones to kill them." Flag, I don't believe it, I can't kill them!"

Yuan Bin's eyes lit up, mobilizing the mass line, wonderful!
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty, I will fulfill my mission!"

In the early morning of the next day, all the tens of thousands of Jinyiwei in the capital and surrounding areas were dispatched to the south of the Yangtze River.

The secret agents dormant in various places have been activated one after another, doing everything possible to collect information.

The gentry in the south of the Yangtze River had just experienced a turmoil. Those who had an accident thought they were unlucky, and those who had nothing happened secretly rejoiced. Unexpectedly, a bigger turmoil had quietly struck.

Yuan Bin's first stop was Yingtian Mansion. In one night, more than a dozen families of respectable elders were kidnapped and disappeared.

At the same time, notices were posted all over the city, rewarding those who report clues.

The local people were very astonished, because since Hong Xinnian, it has been a crime for people to sue officials.

Regardless of whether you are right or wrong, give me a good beating first.

When it came out suddenly, no one knew what happened, and most of them had a wait-and-see attitude.

In the eyes of everyone, a thin woman rushed into the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion holding a notice.
