In the Southern Song Dynasty, I competed with Mongolia for the world

Chapter 254

Xu Shilong suddenly yelled at the Hunjun, and everyone in the audience gasped. Even Zeng Conglong, who was kneeling on the spot, changed his expression greatly, because Zeng Conglong didn't participate in the matter of Dongxiao Temple, so he didn't know that Xu Shilong dared to insult officials.

Before everyone could react, Xu Shilong took out a dagger from his sleeve and raised it high.

"Protect Your Majesty." There were screams at the scene, and many soldiers quickly stopped in front of Zhao Yurui.

But there was a flash of cold light.

Puchi, blood splattered everywhere.

"Hiss..." Xu Shilong stared at Zhao Yurui and Niu Bao with disbelief all over his face.

His body was trembling in the cold wind, and he lowered his head slowly.

I saw a crossbow arrow in front of my chest went straight into my body, and I could hardly see the tail.

"Boldly rebelling against the thief, dare to assassinate Your Majesty." Niu Bao waved his hands and shouted: "Kill."

As soon as the words fell, two strong crossbows stretched out behind him at the same time.

Pu Chi Pu Chi, two consecutive arrows hit Xu Shilong again.

Xu Shilong wanted to open his mouth to say something, but his mouth was full of blood, and finally fell to the ground with a face full of unwillingness.

Everyone at the scene was dumbfounded.

Huang was naturally sluggish.

Because of the original plot, Xu Shilong took out a dagger, cut off the little finger of his left hand, and used blood to admonish the emperor.

This is something that did not happen in the history of the Song Dynasty, and Xu Shilong also made up his mind for a long time before deciding to do it.

But unexpectedly, he just raised the dagger and was shot dead on the spot.

The people of the Imperial City Department secretly hid the crossbow?

"Escort, escort." Niu Bao yelled frantically at this time.

A large number of soldiers from the Imperial City Division rushed straight into the crowd. Behind everyone who was kneeling on the ground, they were soon full of people. Many people wanted to raise their heads. The officers from the Imperial City Division held their necks with one hand and the knife with the other, with fierce expressions on their faces. .

Huang Ziran and others kneeling in front were searched one after another.

Naturally, Huang and the others were already stunned, the scene was obviously out of control, and everything deviated from their imagination.

"No, no, it's not like this." Huang naturally reacted, and immediately shouted: "Xu Shilong didn't want to assassinate His Majesty, he just wanted to remonstrate with blood -- ah --"

Ba, standing next to him was a commander of the Imperial City Commander, and when he was halfway through speaking, Ba's scabbard was drawn up directly.

"Shut up, did His Majesty let you speak?"

Huang Ziran's mouth was full of blood, and he was dizzy from being pumped.

"Okay, okay, okay, you guys actually intended to assassinate me, but you were bought by the Jinkou, and wanted to overthrow our Great Song Dynasty and harm my people—Zeng Conglong, I misunderstood you——" Zhao Yurui had a heartbroken expression.

Zeng Conglong was also stunned, his face was flushed, and he spoke in a hurry: "Chen, I don't know, it's not like this, I didn't—"

"Tell me, was it bought by the Jinkou?" Huang Chengsi sternly asked Huang Ziran and others.

There was a cry of grievances at the scene.

"Fun Lord." At this moment, some people in the crowd dared to scold the emperor.

Everyone looked up, but it was Liang Bing who was glaring.

"If you want to commit a crime, there is nothing to worry about. Can Your Majesty kill Xu Shilong and all the scholars in the world?" He said loudly: "The history books will record everything today, and His Majesty's actions can't be hidden from the world—"

Liang Bing obviously believed that the emperor deliberately killed people and wanted to frame him.

"Drag him out." Zhao Yurui said coldly.

The two soldiers dragged Liang Bing out of the crowd like wolves and tigers.

Liang Bing was a little scared, his face was ashen.

"Your Majesty." Wei Liaoweng, Li Zongmian and others all wanted to intercede.

Only Qiao Xingjian didn't snort. Back then, Huang Ziran and others gathered at Lizhengmen and asked Ning Zong to cut off his head. He was also quite upset. Today's scene, he watched with great joy.

Liang Bing was pressed and knelt in front of the emperor. He lowered his head at first, but soon raised his head again and looked at the emperor.

Even if I am punished by the emperor today, I will surely leave my name in history, Liang Bing thought secretly.

These civil servants in ancient times always wanted to leave history in history.

But seeing that Zhao Yurui didn't say a word, they turned around and stretched out their hands, and pulled out the waist knife from Niu Bao's waist.

Liang Bing wanted to raise his head and stare at the emperor, with an unbelievable expression on his face.

But before he could react, someone sternly shouted in his ear: "Low your head." Pressing down on his neck hard.

Zhao and Rui took three steps and two steps together, stepped forward and raised the saber.

With a puff, a head rolled to the ground, and blood splashed from the wound, all over Zhao and Rui's robes.

"Ah" Zeng Conglong, Wang Mai and others sat down on the ground in fright.

Everyone at the scene was stunned.

Among the emperors of the Song Dynasty, including the Taizu, no one personally held a knife and killed a minister outside the palace gate.

At this moment, Zhao Yurui looked like a murderer, holding a long knife, standing in the cold wind, his face was gloomy, and he looked at all the students and officials one by one.

The scene was extremely quiet, and no one dared to breathe.

But Zhao Yurui kicked Liang Bing's kneeling body down with another kick, and said sharply: "If you want to be famous and leave a legacy in history, I will help you."

"Come on."

"exist."

"Xu Shilong and Liang Bing insulted and intended to assassinate me, and punish their families."

"Here."

"Where the two families of Xu and Liang are related, the tax will be doubled, and they will not be able to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of their lives."

The last few words of the emperor shocked the surroundings, and all the kneeling people trembled when they heard it.

Especially the last sentence, Zhao Yurui learned it from Lao Zhu's family.

Because of Suzhou's support for Zhang Shicheng, Lao Zhu gave Suzhou a heavier tax in the Ming Dynasty, and the food tax of Suzhou was equivalent to the whole province of Zhejiang.

Zhu Di scolded him because of Gao Xiang, and doubled the tax for all people surnamed Gao in the world, so that everyone surnamed Gao in the world scolded Gao Xiang.

Zhao and Rui are following suit now.

You don't want me to kill the Nine Clans, do you?Okay, I will increase taxes for your nine clans, and you will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for the rest of your life.

Zhu Di is so cruel, he can become a famous emperor through the ages, how can Lao Tzu Zhao and Rui not be as good as Zhu Di?
As Zhao Yurui got angry, people shivered in the cold wind, and many students and officials at the scene began to regret their impulsiveness.

The emperor's cruelty was beyond everyone's expectations.

But Zhao Yurui said loudly: "Zhu Aiqing may think that I am very cruel, not a wise and benevolent monarch."

"but."

"If there is no land annexation in the Song Dynasty, all officials and gentry can pay taxes according to the law, and the people of the world can live a good life, even if they bear the name of a tyrant, I will not hesitate and have a clear conscience."

Boom, Zhao Yurui's voice was so loud and exciting that it shook people's hearts. Many upright ministers turned pale when they heard it.

At this moment, Qin Zhuo bumped Zhao Rushu on the right side with his shoulder and elbow without showing any signs.

Zhao Rushu understood, turned his head to look at Liang Chengda beside him, and at the same time bumped Liang Chengda with his shoulder and elbow.

Liang Chengda immediately strode forward and sang loudly: "Your Majesty is an eternal king who loves the people like a son. Your Majesty kills one person to save tens of thousands of people."

Zhao Rushu immediately made an exception and said loudly: "Tang Taizong Li Shimin also imprisoned his father, brother and nephew, and humiliated his sister-in-law."

There was an uproar all around.

Zhao Rushu didn't change his countenance, and talked freely: "From the point of view of theory and law, Emperor Taizong of Tang Dynasty was cruel, barren of money, unfilial and loyal, and what he did was outraged by both human beings and gods."

"So what? Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty is still known as the wise emperor through the ages. I think that as long as it benefits the people of the world, the people's hearts will be clear."

Liang Chengda said again: "These scholars and officials are fighting against the imperial court and opposing land measurement. Their selfishness is obvious. They just want to avoid taxes and evade taxes. Thanks to them reading so many sage books, they are shameless and shameless. I beg you Your Majesty, deprive these people of their official positions and fame."

Speaking of this, Liang Chengda also knelt on the ground with a big plop, and said loudly: "The people are water, and the king is a boat. Please, Your Majesty, for the people of the world, severely punish villains."

Zhao Rushu also quickly knelt down, and then there was a clatter, a lot of people knelt behind the emperor, Qin Zhuo and Qiao Xingjian also knelt down one after another.

All in unison, please Your Majesty, for the people of the world, severely punish the treacherous villains.

Come on, Zeng Conglong and the others really panicked.

Forcing the palace will fail, but will be punished with a serious crime.

The situation turned sharply.

Huang Ziran and the others were shocked, angry and frightened.

There were still some people on the scene who remained neutral. They neither participated in Tai students nor knelt down with Liang Chengda and others.

Liang Chengda and Zhao Rushu are well-known treacherous officials in the court, and some honest officials still despise them.

But at this moment, a person suddenly walked in the distance.

"My lord, please greet Your Majesty."

Everyone looked up, and it turned out that it was Shi Songzhi, the general judge of Xiangyang.

"Shi Songzhi, tell me, should these people be killed?" Zhao Yurui asked sharply.

"Returning to Your Majesty, most of these people don't know about it, they were just deceived, but there are some rebels who must be killed." Shi Songzhi said without hesitation.

There was another uproar at the scene.

Then Shi Songzhi said that a few days ago, ether student Huang Ziran and others, together with Xue Shao, Lin Jie, Zeng Shizhong, Zheng Sun, Xuan Zang, Xue Ji and others, discussed in Dongxiao Temple and said Each of them has a lot of grain fields in their homes, and they never had to pay taxes before. Now the emperor has re-measured the fields and has to collect taxes, which makes them extremely dissatisfied.

Everyone should encourage scholars all over the world to oppose together, so that the emperor can take back the order of his ministers, and when necessary, they can force the palace and make the emperor abdicate. The more taxes you pay, the better days will be gone.

Shi Songzhi said a lot, and everyone on the scene was dumbfounded.

Huang Ziran tremblingly said: "Shi Songzhi, you—"

Before he could say a few words, the conductor next to him immediately slapped him several times, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't speak.

Shi Songzhi turned his back on the water, and made something out of nothing, making things bigger, directly identifying them as rebels, and trying to force the emperor to abdicate.

Shi Songzhi went on to say, Xu Shilong was carrying a dagger, and he wanted to find a chance to kill His Majesty. Fortunately, His Majesty was far away from him and had guards by his side.

There was an uproar again at the scene. Many people didn't believe it, but they had to believe that Xu Shilong must have brought a weapon just now.

Shi Songzhi said again, Xue Ji and others also told him in private that the emperor will cancel and weaken the yin and yang compensation. In the future, it will be more difficult for the sons of high officials to become officials, and ordinary people will have more places in the imperial examination. This kind of emperor , will definitely turn against him.

If you look at this provincial examination, two-thirds of the people on the list are ordinary people. Let these country people occupy the official positions of our children and grandchildren, is that okay?This kind of emperor, can you not object?Therefore, we must encourage Tai students and scholars to overthrow the emperor as soon as possible.
