I, Zhu Youjian: the first prodigal son of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 250 Bring out the mud

"Being an official can't make decisions for the people. What's the use of being an official? Could it be that the people supported by the imperial salary are just a bunch of waste, silverfish, and stinky dog ​​shit?"

Li Zicheng asked in a deep voice.

No one responded.

Nearly a hundred officials were all angry, and they had no choice but to be tied to a wooden stake. As soon as someone yelled and cursed, they were beaten up by Li Zicheng's personal soldiers, and their mouths were full of sour water.

The common people looked at each other in blank dismay.

This... the city lord has lost his mind?
Why did officials from the Ming Dynasty suddenly start fighting each other?
Could it be that it is because of the uneven distribution of the spoils, and stepping on other people's heads to gain profits?Isn't this way too wild?By the way, I heard that the city lord came to pay homage to the brothers of the current emperor, could it be...

……

Li Zicheng sighed secretly.

How could he not understand the thoughts of common people.

In this rotten Ming Dynasty, the common people have already become a group of lambs at the mercy of others. Even if the officials pushed their heads against the knife edge, it is estimated that many people just looked up to the sky and sighed a few times:

Oh my god, just send down the five-color divine thunder and kill me quickly.

In this world, the common people can't survive...

……

"Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty dedicated himself to the people and the world. How many heads of corrupt officials were cut off as night pots? In the past, once an official was greedy for money or swallowed a bucket or two of relief food, he would beheaded and skinned , stuffed with hay and made into a mummy, and stood on the side of the gate of the yamen, so that the successor and the common people can see with their own eyes, the fate of those silverfish!
I, Li Zicheng, dare not follow the example of Emperor Taizu, but I am willing to cut off a batch of dog heads.

Everyone see clearly?
These people are all officials of the city lord's mansion, some are third-rank, some are from third-rank, some are fourth-rank and fifth-rank, and some are no-rank and no-rank. Perjury in the female case.

This is one of them.

Second, after careful investigation by the owner of the city, the least greedy of these people is also three to five hundred gold coins; what's more, they even started staking land on Pengbao Island in Taiwan, occupying more than 9000 acres of land..."

Li Zicheng's voice was low and bitter, with a hint of hoarseness.

If Zhu Youjian, the idiot emperor, was here, he would definitely yell "wocao" a few times. Li Zicheng is so sensational, he is simply the best candidate to rebel and take over the world...

……

"My name is Li Zicheng. Thanks to my third brother, oh yes, my third brother, the emperor, I have entrusted me with managing Taiwan Pengbao Island and wanting to turn it into a treasure land full of gold;

Before leaving, my third younger brother held my hand with deep affection and loyalty, reluctant to part;
His Majesty the Emperor told me, Li Zicheng, that we must build Taiwan Pengbao Island into an impregnable sea fortress, and let the people on the island live and work in peace and contentment, be happy, and live a feng shui treasure land where there is no need to worry about food and drink, and no one will bully us at will;
However, some people refused.

They colluded with the dog officials of the imperial court, colluded with the rich families in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, wantonly bullied and trampled on our common people, and did not take the lives of our little common people seriously.

You said, can you bear this matter? "

Sparsely, some bold common people responded: "I can't bear it..."

Although the city lord stands on the top to speak for the common people, the common people of the Ming Dynasty have long seen too many "painting big cakes" by various officials, wealthy families, and scholars. Everyone thought that Li Zicheng was just standing on the top and saying Empty words, big words, and lies.

Li Zicheng's old face darkened.

Immediately he laughed loudly, waved his hand, and roared, "Can you bear it?"

"I can't bear it."

This time, it finally made sense.

Therefore, Li Zicheng simply assumed the posture of being the village chief, took a few big steps forward, came to a 'criminal officer', and drew out the sword at his waist.

"Kill corrupt officials and pay back the sky!"

growl.

With a 'crack', the sword fell from the hand, and a huge human head was chopped off, rolling down the steps of the theater.

Blood splattered everywhere, bright red dazzling.

The official whose head was beheaded probably didn't figure it out until his death. Where did Li Zicheng come from to kill the court official in public? Therefore, even if the head rolled over a hundred steps and fell on the stone steps One was bloody and bloody, but his eyes were always open.

In the helpless and angry eyes, there seemed to be a touch of bewilderment and helplessness...

……

"Wu Yongliang, a dog official, has no courage and no conscience. He was in vain as a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, a fish and meat common people, and acted in vain. He wantonly occupied more than 1 mu of farmland on the island. It is really hateful!"

Li Zicheng held a white heavy iron sword, and he paused every step, as if walking very hard.

After a few breaths, he came to No.2 official.

"Li Zicheng, you are so... ah!"

With the sword in hand, another human head fell to the ground and rolled down the steps.

The thousands of people who watched were exclaimed.

Nearly a hundred officials who had been tied up by five flowers were ashen-faced and gasped. Some of them had even started a two-pronged fight, their calves were throbbing, and their crotches were covered with feces.

"Li Zicheng, you are bold!"

"My lord, please forgive me, the next official made a mistake, the next official made a mistake."

"My lord, please... ah!"

Another dog official was beheaded on the spot, two streams of hot blood spurted out three or four feet high from the headless neck, and under the blowing of the sea breeze, it seemed that there were still wisps of heat.

He watched the third head roll down.

The onlookers exclaimed again, like a hurricane sweeping past.

Everyone, when looking at Li Zicheng, who is high above him, seems to see a god of death descending on the world, holding a four-foot iron sword in his hand, eliminating harm for the people and advocating for the people.

Be the master for the people!

"If you have grudges, you have revenge, if you have grievances, you have grudges. Today, I, Li Zi, become the master of the people of the whole island!"

"Come here, take care of me with pen and ink!"

"No matter how big or small, everything is recorded in the record. All the officials involved in the people's complaints are true, no matter how big or small, they will all be executed!"

Li Zicheng turned around and wanted to walk up to the high platform.

Suddenly, an official tied to a wooden stake hissed and roared: "Li Zicheng, my godfather is Wei Zhongxian, Eunuch Wei. If you touch a hair of my hair today, my godfather will crush you and destroy the ten clans!"

"The surname is Li, you just wait to die, my godfather is... ah!"

"Ah!"

After two screams in succession, two more huge human heads rolled down, eyes full of unwillingness and confusion, and they lost their breath.

They really couldn't figure it out, this Li Zicheng had obviously become an official of the imperial court, a dignified third-rank official, and relying on his background of being married to Jinlan with the idiot emperor, it was no problem to be named a king and a marquis.

We should all be together...

Damn, are you crazy?

Sure enough, Li Zicheng was crazy.

He is a mad dog. At this moment, he has a ferocious face, gnashing his teeth, thinking of all the dog officials and rich local rich men he has seen in Daming over the years, this fat man can't wait to chop a few swords in the sky.

Huang Tian is dead, the heavens should stand!
He suddenly remembered the two lines sung in the play. When the emperor of the Han Dynasty was in Xianyang, officials everywhere were greedy for money and ravaged like jackals.

"Continue to interrogate, then kill."

Li Zicheng returned to the top of the high platform, looked up to the sky, took a deep breath, held seven or eight breaths, and then exhaled slowly.

Just a casual sentence, and it taught Taiwan Pengbao Island to change the sky...

……

"Li Zicheng killed all the officials on the island, leaving only the five hundred brocade guards left by me?"

When he received the flying report, the idiot emperor was patrolling a small royal courtyard, full of joy, preparing to be the groom every night.

Holding a roll of silk, he only glanced at it and was stunned.

This brother... is very reliable.

If I want to kill a few corrupt officials, I still need to put my mind to it. First, I will pretend to seize a case, follow the vines, and investigate vigorously all the way. Let Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Ministry of Justice go hand in hand. Only then did I catch a hundred and eighty Ming officials. silverfish.

Li Zicheng is a good guy, first arrest all the officials on the island, and then try them slowly, killing dozens of them a day...

"Your Majesty, I heard that Taiwan, Pengbao and Baodao are all in chaos now." The chief eunuch Wang Chengen said harshly.

"Uh, what kind of mess?" Zhu Youjian frowned and asked, "Did Li Zicheng rebel? Has Zheng Zhilong's armored warship sailed past? Can you suppress my second brother Li?"

Wang Chengen: "..."

He's all over the place, but you still recognize him as an older brother?
"Your Majesty Qizuo, Li Zicheng... didn't rebel, but hundreds of thousands of people on the island thought that Li Zicheng had rebelled and established himself as king. Therefore, nearly [-] young and middle-aged men defected to his command, and they were about to rebel. !"

Wang Chengen's head and face were covered with cold sweat, and the back of the crimson python robe was also wet a lot.

Look at what's going on.

Those godsons who don't live up to expectations are easy to provoke. Why provoke Li Zicheng? That Mizhi refugee is clearly a mad dog. life.

"Isn't it that the army has not rebelled yet?"

The idiot emperor Zhu Youjian chuckled, and said, "Second brother Li is okay, no, he is still polite to my Jin Yiwei, right? What does this mean? It can only mean that those dog officials who are greedy for money They, one by one, really damn it!
Cheng En, I heard that seven or eight godsons of yours were accidentally injured by Li Zicheng?

How about this, I will ask Wei Zhongxian to compensate you with some gold coins, and you can buy a few catties of good tea, so be careful, how about it? "

Wang Chengen knelt down with a plop.

Amomum pig heart.

This idiot emperor is simply not a human being. Li Zicheng, who had beheaded the court officials indiscriminately, ignored Wang Chengen's army without pursuing responsibility.

If things go on like this, where is the dignity of the Ming court?

"Your Majesty, slaves, slaves deserve death!" Wang Chengen had nothing to say, so he could only beat his forehead against the blue brick floor with his head.

In a blink of an eye, his forehead was stained with blood.

With a cold face, Zhu Youjian stared at Wang Chengen gloomyly, and said, "If you were not under the crooked neck tree in Meishan from now on, you Wang Chengen would be the last one to accompany me to hang on the southeast branch. Today, I will kill you!"

Wang Chengen: "Your Majesty, Long Live..."

Zhu Youjian: "There are more than 900 cadres under your name, and 570 grandsons. Among them, there are two first-rank officials of the imperial court, three second-rank military officers, and countless third-rank and below. Each of them is our Ming dynasty. The pillar of the dynasty;

Each one is my servant.

Cheng En, you are doing very well. "

These are the real murderous words. Every sentence is based on real evidence, without any embellishments or fabricated facts.

Some words, when contained in the stomach, are handles, secrets, and the emperor's understanding of his courtiers.

However, once the emperor reveals these bad things, what will it mean?Wang Chengen's heart sank quickly, and his body became extremely stiff, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

For the first time, he felt, what kind of despair.

"Long Live God..." Wang Chengen wailed.

Continue to hit the ground with your head.

"Forget it, Cheng En, I promise I won't kill you," Zhu Youjian sighed, and turned around to order a Jinyi guard: "Come on, go to Qianqing Palace quickly to get the evidence of Wang Chengen and Wei Zhongxian's crimes.

Let them investigate the case themselves.

I'm about to get married right now, and I'll be the groom's official, so don't bother me with these bad things.

By the way, Wang Chengen, do you want to investigate your godson and grandson by yourself, or do you switch with Wei Zhongxian, you go to investigate him, and he will investigate you?
Don't worry, once it is found out that there are any messy things such as corruption of ink, favoritism and fraud, occupation of people's land, fish and meat, rampage in the countryside, etc., they will all be executed.

I will not implicate you and Wei Zhongxian.

As for what you two have done these years, how can I not know?Daming is currently suffering from internal and external troubles, and I still need a group of loyal and iron-blooded soldiers to accompany me to fight in all directions and wipe out this shitty world.

Could it be that you and Wei Zhongxian are unwilling to walk with me? "

After speaking, Wang Chengen's heart was beating wildly, and the sweat all over his head and face was gushing out like syrup.

At the same time, inexplicably, his heart was full of fighting spirit.

Isn't that sworn allegiance to the death?

Isn't it just to follow the Long Live Lord to conquer the Quartet and sweep the world?In a word, isn't it just to let him, a useless useless person, die for the emperor and the country of Ming Dynasty?

"Long live, servant girl, I am willing to follow the town of Long Live to kill the world!"

The idiot emperor nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Then go and handle the case."

"Oh, by the way, on the island of Taiwan, Penghu, you and Wei Zhongxian try to help cover up one or two things. If possible, you can even make a decree to reward Li Zicheng for killing relatives righteously, beheading first and playing later, making decisions for the people, and being strong first... "

Finally, the idiot emperor's lack of culture was fully exposed.

However, the great eunuch Wang Chengen, who was kneeling on the ground, did not realize this at all...

……

Waved away Wang Chengen.

Zhu Youjian walked slowly to another garden. Under a sycamore tree, the accompanying eunuch had already set up a table of seasonal fruits and court preserves, and Wei Zhongxian made a pot of good tea himself.

"Long Live Lord, drink some tea first, moisten your throat, and then scold your slaves..."

Wei Zhongxian smiled obediently, poured a bowl of tea with familiar skills, and offered it with both hands: "Long live, don't be angry, those dog officials who committed crimes, the slaves promise to catch them all..."

Zhu Youjian took the tea bowl, took a sip, and sighed: "Your Wei Zhongxian's tea is better, it is neither warm nor hot, refreshing and pleasant, and you can take the initiative to remove the residual flowers and willows in the tea.

Of course, if the water is clear, there will be no fish.

Zhongxian, I have a saying, I don't know if I should say it or not? "

The idiot emperor stared at Wei Zhongxian with piercing eyes.

Wei Zhongxian was taken aback, and hurriedly bowed and said: "Long Live Lord, the real dragon emperor, with a golden mouth and jade teeth, there is nothing that should be said or not. Long Live Lord, if you have any orders, please let me know.

Even if the servant girl goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, she will fulfill her mission! "

Zhu Youjian chuckled and said, "Then, I'll make it clear."

"Zhongxian, can you think of a way to make the wealthy families in the south of the Yangtze River rebel?"
