Chapter 472 Really cannonball!(1/2)
"Your Majesty, the old minister can finally see the beauty of heaven again."
Lin Feng, who was so tired that he was almost paralyzed, howled and fell in front of His Emperor as if he had seen his closest relative.
Then the elders following him fell to the ground one by one...
Of course, it may also be tired.
After all, with their physique, it is not easy to walk six or seven miles in one go, and several older people are lying there directly.
"Is this the ritual of your monarch and minister?"
Wanli said in a Senran.
Lin Feng and others who were lying on the ground lowered their heads and were depressed.
When the ministers of the Ming Dynasty saw that although the emperor was not as humble as our Qing Dynasty, they had to bow five times and bow three times for regular visits.
Formal and polite occasions, of course there is no need to be such trouble on weekdays.
But now...
Nothing but.
Of course it is a very formal occasion now.
Then a group of old guys struggled to get up and began to bow to His Majesty five times and three times. However, their condition was obviously impossible to complete. As soon as they completed the three times, an elder had already laid down, lying on the stone slab of the dock as if he was dying. He was gasping for breath and even cold sweat came out, but it might be hot, after all, it was already summer now.
"If you drag it down, you will be disrespectful. You will be killed and raid his house!"
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly.
Liu Xin, who had been reused next to him, immediately brought a guard forward.
Xu Xinsu has been appointed as the navy admiral by the emperor. He has been locked in the cabin by Yu Zigao before. Although Xu Xinsu is Li Dan's brother, he is still loyal to the emperor. Yu Zigao knew that he could not be with him, but the two of them were always in love after all. In history, they were all together with Zheng Zhilong, so they locked him and the captured guards in the cabin, but they almost died below.
After being released, he happened to take Yu Zigao's navy admiral to command the navy.
However, Liu Xin was favored by His Majesty the Emperor because of his previous performance in Penghu, and now he is His Majesty the Emperor's Majesty's guard.
He and another guard quickly grabbed the elder.
The latter are all stupid...
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I can still bow, I can still bow..."
He screamed in horror.
But at this time he no longer needs to bow.
He was dragged aside and then was stuffed into a guillotine. Lin Feng and others were so scared that they continued their bowing. At this time, even if they were exhausted, they had to burst out their potential. Just as they finished bowing, the elder's scream came to an abrupt end. As the guillotine fell from Liu Xin's hand, his head also rolled on the dock.
Lin Feng and others knelt on the ground, lowering their heads tremblingly.
"Are I a little cruel?"
His Majesty the Emperor said.
"Your Majesty is kind, kind, respectful and frugal, and virtuous are enough to set an example for all ages, and wise and wise are enough to shine through the ages. How can there be cruelty?"
Lin Qing said tremblingly.
"But I remember that when you resigned from office in anger, you didn't say that in the memorial to me. I remember saying that I favor eunuchs, are extremely lustful, and are abandoning the government."
"Well, I was deceived by monsters at that time and was talking nonsense. After I came back, I asked the monk to do the trick before I could recover my mind."
Lin Qiang said quickly.
I knew at that time that you would not kill me, but now you really can search your house and destroy your family!
He shouted in his heart.
Wanli suddenly smiled, and Lin Feng quickly smiled awkwardly.
Then the other elders quickly lay on the ground and searched their hearts to compliment the emperor. Fortunately, they were all well-educated scholars, so they did not lack this ability. For a moment, the entire dock was full of praises, just like when I, the Qing officials, looked at Ma Ge. And amid their praises, His Majesty the Emperor laughed even happier. When they saw him like this, the elders understood the holy intention more and continued to look for more words to praise him from their own vocabulary.
The scene was quite lively.
Suddenly, His Majesty the Emperor stopped laughing.
The elders stopped one after another, and then looked at His Majesty the Emperor with obvious ease.
"Look at them, look at the great masters, they all have served as officials for me. This is my former Minister of Works. I resigned because I was dissatisfied with me. Who is this? Is it familiar?"
The emperor pointed at one of them and said.
"Master Qingyangzhuang has been a minister."
Some people shouted behind.
"Ah, the Left Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you have a son who is also a Jinshi, and you have also been my concubine. You have also been the deputy chief envoy, and you have scolded me a lot!"
The emperor said.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the old ministers are ignorant and cannot understand Your Majesty's deep meaning. After years of returning home to think about it, he suddenly realized that all the previous plans were far-sighted, which was enough to be a law for all times. He was stupid and could not understand Your Majesty's great wisdom, and even delayed national affairs. Now that he thinks about it, he deserves to die!"
Zhuang Guozhen, the former left assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, kowtowed and said.
"You know yourself, then you can die, die!"
The emperor shouted.
"Well?"
Mr. Zhuang was stunned.
Executioner Liu Xin walked over with a grin, pulled out the short gun and pushed it on his head. Before he could wake up, he pulled the trigger.
The gunshot suddenly broke the tranquility of the dock.
Nearly one or two bullets of the short gun instantly hit Mr. Zhuang's head, and then flew out of his face with the sprayed blood. Several elders who were still kneeling beside him were scared and screaming in fear. They just watched Mr. Zhuang's corpse fall down beside them. An elder was obviously too frightened and turned his eyes and fainted...
"It's so disrespectful, it's dead!"
His Majesty the Emperor said calmly.
Liu Xin drew out another short gun and simply shot the unconscious elder.
The remaining elders were lying there tremblingly, and the people behind were shocked. It was obvious that His Majesty's painting style was completely unexpected.
"When you were officials, you were all proud of calling me accusing me of being accused of being famous, saying that I am addicted to wine and sex, who will not drink alcohol? Who are you not a group of wives and concubines? Who are you greedy for money? Who are you not rich? Who are you loyal to me? Since I went south to this day, there have been those who betrayed me and established a new king, and some have led an army to besiege me. What is the blood splattering the imperial clothes? Those who use big cannons are already commonplace.
Do you still dare to imprison me in Penghu?
Still want to force me to be a puppet for you?
I have even tasted the cannon shooting. Do you think imprisonment can make me surrender?
Now that I have started to kill people, I am no longer bound by you, and I have begun to kill you like Emperor Taizu Gao, like a pig or a dog. You have begun to praise me.
What about your courage to scold me back then?"
His Majesty the Emperor shouted.
Lin Que and others were lying on the ground, trembling and no one dared to answer. They actually regretted it now. They had known that they would have just run away before. They did know that the emperor was different, but they really didn't think that the emperor would be so cruel. Is this the blood of the old Zhu family awakened? This cruel style is still the one in the past who was scolded by Luo Yuren and wanted to deal with it. They had to discuss it with Shen Shixing in the end, but they didn't dare to dismiss it. Is it still the emperor who made Luo Yuren resign himself?
What has he experienced over the years to become like this?
But the problem now is that even if you want to run, you can no longer run away. Several elders were lying there and crying.
"I will do another reasoning to you today, bring Liu Tinghui here, and bring his whole family here!"
The emperor shouted.
Liu Tinghui behind was stunned for a moment, then looked at his whole family who was escorted out of the boat next to him.
The emperor had already gone to search his house first. His house was from Du Xun, Zhangpu, just by the sea and along the way. After raiding his house, the emperor led the fleet to the north, while the imperial camp occupied Zhangpu. This season, he went north by sea. Unless he was on the post station relay, he would not be able to catch up with the fleet's speed.
So the news of the emperor chasing his house was not delivered until the emperor logged in Quanzhou.
Then he was taken to the emperor.
"It's not difficult for you. Your family is here. We confront these elders and fellow villagers one by one. If you have participated in the conspiracy to imprison me, as long as you point it out and testify, I will spare you one descendant. But if you cover up your crimes and are pointed out and testified by others, then kill you one descendant. If you think you can protect them with your own descendants' lives, then you can do whatever you want. There are about a dozen descendants in your family, and I will kill them one by one.
Now I start asking, is he involved?"
The emperor pointed at one of the elders and said.
“Assed!”
Liu Tinghui said without hesitation.
"Liu Yunsong, don't slander people's innocence out of thin air!"
The latter screamed in horror.
"Your Majesty, this is Li Dalan, the former governor of Taicang, and Li family in Fengchi is a sea merchant family. His great-grandfather has been a sea merchant for generations and is also a shareholder of Nanyang Company. He has participated in the entire rebellion."
Liu Tinghui said.
He doesn't care about anything else now, and can save his descendants and count them one. As for whether these guys are raiding their families and slaughtering them, if their descendants are not arrested, they might have a fantasy. Now there are no fantasies, just try to calculate them one by one.
"Your Majesty, he, he is a slander. The old minister has never participated. The old minister knows nothing. Your Majesty will tell you clearly!"
Li Dalan cried and shouted.
