Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 415 Zhu Youxiao Angrily Rebukes Qian Qianyi

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Youxiao's face was as sinking as water. He was a little nearsighted now because he had been reviewing memorials between the copybooks all the year round, and he had to squint slightly to see the distant mountains clearly.

At this time, Qian Qianyi was hunched over, standing beside Zhu Youxiao tremblingly, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's question.

"Why did the Young Lord of Java conceal and not report the murder?" Zhu Youxiao asked.

Zhu Youxiao is very tired of this way of conducting equal etiquette diplomacy to some unknown small countries, but the civilization of China has been a hospitable country since ancient times, so Zhu Youxiao can't easily persuade the entire Ming Dynasty to abandon the previous series of demonstrations The grandeur of a big country cannot reflect the majesty and red tape of a big country, but for a barbaric country like Java, which owes the lives of countless Nanyang people in Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao has long reminded Qian Qianyi that there is no need to be too polite to this kind of country. Fortunately, it is directly provoking, and today's Daming needs a reason to start a war.

But now it just so happened that the young master of the Java country killed a peddler in Ming Dynasty, which undoubtedly fell into Zhu Youxiao's arms.

According to Zhu Youxiao's wishes, when encountering such an emergency, Qian Qianyi should immediately contact the people from Wucheng Bingma Division to arrest the young master and report to himself immediately, instead of directly suppressing the matter now , It even led to conflicts between the government and the people.

With the emergence of new media such as newspapers and periodicals and Zhu Youxiao's deliberate promotion, the concept of nation and country has gradually been strengthened among the common people of Ming Dynasty. Therefore, at this moment, any incident that provokes the dignity of Ming Dynasty will attract the attention of the common people at the bottom, and even cause the directly cause trouble.

And this country of Java was directly regarded by the Da Ming Daily as a model of negative propaganda, which has already made the people of the Ming Dynasty gnash their teeth against this country, so now when they learn that the young master of the country of Java has killed the people of the Ming Dynasty, it is even more of a stone. It stirred up a thousand waves and aroused great repercussions among the people in Beijing.

A crowd of rioters surrounded the Yamen of Shuntian Mansion, and many of them were supervisors from the Imperial Academy and candidates who had come to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam.

But because of Zhu Youxiao's previous example of punishing Fushe members, the stupid officials of Shuntian Prefecture thought that violence could still be used today, so they directly used soldiers to beat and drive away these troublemakers, and even killed several people.

In this way, the situation was further escalated, and in the end, Zhu Youxiao could no longer allow this group of officials to go on messing around with their original intentions behind their backs, and directly used Dongchang to arrest the officials who beat up and expelled the troublemakers in Shuntian Prefecture and sent them to prison , and asked Li Mingrui to immediately meet the troublemakers and appease the people.

And at the same time, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered Yang Sichang to bring his will to call the imperial guards stationed in Beijing to immediately surround the Siyi Pavilion. The reason why he directly used the army did not mean that these foreigners were going to be arrested by the army, but It is for the people of the capital to see, and the imperial court takes this very seriously.

And Qian Qianyi, the highest-level official who was responsible for receiving foreign envoys and directly caused the escalation of the situation, was also directly called into the palace by Zhu Youxiao.

Qian Qianyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, he didn't know how to explain it for a while, and he didn't expect that this incident would cause such a situation, so he couldn't help but said truthfully: "This incident happened too suddenly, it is reported that The young lord angered the peddler because he molested his wife, the peddler seemed to beat the young lord first, and then forced the young lord to draw his sword and stab the peddler with his sword. When the soldiers arrived, the peddler had already died due to excessive blood loss. The minister thought that the foreign crown prince was involved, and the person who died was just an ordinary citizen. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes between the two countries, the minister decided to Take the initiative to suppress this matter first."

"Qian Qianyi!"

Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned around and yelled at Qian Qianyi angrily. Qian Qianyi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground directly: "Please punish me, Your Majesty!"

"Let me ask you, are you the chief minister of Java or my Ming Dynasty? The life of a little foreign crown prince is more important than the lives of my people! Who taught you this truth! Confucius or Meng Shengren? I have already ordered the Ministry of Punishments to add extraterritoriality to the Daming Law, and Shang Zhouzuo, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, can still kill Turia, Earl of Flangji, and you, the chief minister of the cabinet, don’t even have the courage to do so?"

Seeing Qian Qianyi, Zhu Youxiao knelt down directly, and his attitude of admitting his mistakes was too sincere, and his anger was reduced by seven points, and he said: "Get up first, I should have thought of it a long time ago, how can a person like you There may be a little bit of blood, anyway, I will give you a chance for the time being, and immediately take my order to the Siyi Pavilion to arrest the young master of the Java Kingdom, and you will personally bring him to Caishikou, in front of the people of the capital Beheading him is nothing to you, I will let Li Mingrui do it, and then you don't have to do it anymore as the chief minister of the cabinet."

Hearing what His Majesty Zhu Youxiao said, Qian Qianyi felt as if a Jiao Lei had exploded above his head. He didn't expect that His Majesty would let him kill the young master of Java himself, and even threatened him as the chief assistant of the cabinet.

Just as he had to be forced to burn down Donglin Academy by His Majesty Zhu Youxiao back then, Qian Qianyi, as a scholar and literati at this time, would have to kill himself to fulfill Zhu Youxiao's will.

This is a very difficult task for him, because he has never killed a chicken, let alone a human, in most of his life.

However, the reason why Zhu Youxiao wanted to force Qian Qianyi, a sour literati who could only use a pen, to personally kill the crown prince of Java was not because he really wanted to practice Qian Qianyi's courage, but because Qian Qianyi was now the head of the cabinet. Auxiliary, letting him personally behead the crown prince of Java is undoubtedly the greatest effect on appeasing the scholars and people in the capital and causing domestic shock in Java.

Qian Qianyi didn't understand Zhu Youxiao's deep meaning. In his opinion, His Majesty asked him to do this just to show himself a tough attitude.

In order to keep his position as the chief assistant of the cabinet, Qian Qianyi still gritted his teeth and said: "My minister obeys the order!"

The Crown Prince of Java, Duding, was sitting in the Siyi Pavilion and eating fruit at this time. He was not the slightest bit nervous about killing the Ming hawker. When he was a commoner, he even said to Chen Yuting, the minister of Honghe Temple, without taking it seriously: "Master Chen, Xiao Wang, I came to your Daming to meet your Majesty the Emperor, and now I am blocked by a group of low-ranking people. What's going on, is this how you treat foreign envoys?"

"Don't blame me, my little prince. It's not because we want to do this, but because the people outside are too troublesome, and we can't suppress it," Honglu Temple Minister Chen Yuting explained with a smile.

"What's there to be afraid of? If you let your officers and soldiers kill a few of them, you won't believe that these unruly people don't obey the rules!" Teeth said something.

But at this moment, Qian Qianyi walked in with a dark face.

　The exemption starts today, and it will explode after the exemption ends! ! ! ! !
