4800 Taimiao Storm
The more I can’t ask anything, the more I feel uneasy the hearts become. The door of the Taimiao is open, and the tablets of the Emperors of the Qing Dynasty can be seen in the gloomy hall.
At this moment, it was as if all the dead kings of the Qing Dynasty were staring at these people, and all the high nobles present were as if they were on their backs!
At this moment, the eunuch's voice suddenly sounded in the hall, "Your Majesty is here... kneel!"
Emperor Tongzhi, who had just knelt down in the Taimiao and pondered and prayed, walked out, looking at the more than 60 top nobles inside the Eight Banners with a pale face.
The chair was placed on the edge of the white marble steps and swept down the three-story high platform. A group of royal nobles knelt on the ground and did not dare to move!
Zai Chun sneered and wrapped the cloak wrapped around his body. He stared at them without saying a word. Time passed by minute by minute, and the people below were breathless. There were ghosts in his heart and even sweat beads crackled.
For a full quarter of an hour, Emperor Tongzhi pressed them for a full quarter of an hour, and their knees were numb and they didn't let them get up!
At this moment, a group of new imperial guards came over carrying several huge wooden boxes, and a pungent smell of blood came over the box.
With a clang, the box was on the ground, and after opening the lid, it was full of fresh heads inside!
The soldiers overturned the box, and the heads rolled around the princes and nobles, which scared them to death. When the timid man saw a head rolling in front of him, he almost kissed him!
With a oh, the grandson fainted!
"Spray cold water... to make him sober... and then show it to me! You all know each other, are these heads very familiar?"
"All of you are the slaves who give birth to children, and you will put them in front of whom!"
Zaichun ordered that the new army of the Imperial Forest will implement it. They started looking for people with their heads, and they identified their identities in advance. Tong Jia's head was placed directly in front of Prince Lao Li.
In the Thirteenth Warehouse of the Capital, all the corrupt warehouses, the books and the trusted soldiers were killed, and those who survived were ordinary soldiers with no way.
There were hundreds of heads. Last night, the Royal New Army killed more than fifty in the city, and Xishan Camp also killed more than sixty outside the city, with more than one hundred heads. On average, two were placed in front of each person!
Big eyes stare, but only a life and a death!
By this time everyone knew what was going on. Prince Li's body was shaking like a sieve. When he looked at Tong Jia's head, he knew that everything in the granary had been leaked.
People looked at each other. Last night, Baoyan checked the library. Everyone thought it was a walk, but who knew it would come true? This is a real one!
Zai Chun suddenly shouted, "You see clearly? Do you need to say what you do yourself?... In front of the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, you swear that you have never done anything?"
"Swear! Everyone swears... I'm going to figure out why the capital lost three million stones of food at once!"
"What a big appetite, what a big rat! You are so loyal!"
"Slaves are guilty of death..." Everyone turned their heads and dared not look up. At this time, they could no longer tell lies. All the things were lifted, and quibbling was useless.
Their only hope at this moment is that Emperor Tongzhi can remember the affection of his relatives. Fortunately, there are no foreign ministers present today, and there are no Han scholars.
Maybe this is the chance to survive!
"Speak! I'm mute? Speak...Prince Li, your slave Tong Jia is the first mouse to be exposed. Tell me what's going on?"
Prince Lao Li looked at the bayonets around him, the cavalry formations in the distance, and there was no courage to argue, so he could only plead guilty.
"Your Majesty... I'm a death sentence for me, I'm confused... I let this slave fool me..."
"Wuwuwu... I'm greedy... I told me that the price of grain in the capital is getting more and more expensive, and this is a good opportunity to get rich!"
"Stolen the grain in the granary and sell it. Anyway, the court doesn't need so much for the time being... Then, when the summer grain is collected, we will buy it back at a low price and save it, and eat the difference in the price here one by one!"
"Please beg your Majesty... Woo beg your Majesty... Woo beg your Majesty..."
Prince Lao Li is worthy of being experienced. Although he is afraid, he can find a life-saving prescription at critical moments. At this time, you say that you steal the warehouse and stock grain, it is really a death sentence, and no one can save you.
But if you say it another way, you are greedy for the difference, and this sin is nothing!
If I really steal food, I will not pay it back. I will keep the money in my pocket after buying it. How to top up the warehouse in the future will not care about my business.
Generally, such things are delayed by time and are compensated little by little with losses.
If it was really stealing, then Zaichun would not be able to spare them. He stole three million stones of food in one breath, or when the disaster was at its worst?
At this time, you have to change the statement: I am not stealing food, I have to pay it back!
I just make a difference. When the grain price is high, I "borrow" grain to sell it. When the grain price is low, I will buy the grain and go to the warehouse. In this way, the total amount of grain in the warehouse remains unchanged.
It's so magical. If the same thing is said in different ways, it will have different results.
If you borrow food and return it, this sin is much smaller!
Prince Lao Li set the tone so to set the standard, and the other nobles of the palace suddenly realized it and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me, I just want to make a difference, I don't want to steal food..."
"The slave originally thought that he would return it to Curry after collecting the summer grain, but he didn't expect that the situation would turn out like this..."
There were crying everywhere in the square in front of the Taimiao. If someone had just come in at this time and saw them crying at the chopped head, they would have thought that something was going to be funeral!
What can Zaichun do when facing this group of braised candy? Even though they know they are lying, they really can't take any serious measures. They really killed more than 60 people?
That would be to slaughter a spoonful of the Eight Banners and slaughter them all, so how many people are left in the court?
"Enough! I don't want to listen to your quibbling... Whether you want to steal or borrow, they all violate the national law!"
"Don't think I'm easy to bully, don't think I'm easy to cheat... I spit it out after eating my things, and exchange it for me!"
"Chengzhi! Get out of here!"
Prince Zheng was so scared that he quickly rolled out and kowtowed. Zai Chun pointed at him and sneered, "You are very smart! Yesterday you said you donated 500,000 taels, but in the end you were careless in front of Fu Qing?"
"You don't let Fuqing get the money, thinking you can get away with it? Tell you, you're dreaming!"
"Come here! I'll pass on my will and go directly to Chengzhi's palace to pay the silver! The 500,000 yuan of silver you promised to donate yesterday, and the value of your stole food, 500,000 yuan!"
"Correate one million taels of silver for me, otherwise you Chengzhi will wait to lose your head!"
"The rest of these bastards, according to the amount donated by Le yesterday, I will copy out the same amount of money for me!"
"Damn it! I see you are relatives, so I don't want your life! If you give you a face, you have to know and continue!"
"You have to let the Qing Dynasty sink? You smashed the pot. Without the Qing Dynasty, how can you live? You don't understand such a simple truth?"
