Chapter 8 Taizu
Under Lulong City.
"Master, Caomin will ask you one thing."
Yang Feng said to the prefect Ma Chongqian on the top of the city.
While speaking, he raised the imperial edict in his hand and pressed it directly on his head, just like God was also crazy about scaring the child of a hyena with bark.
"Is Emperor Taizu Gao's imperial edict still effective now? Is this book by Emperor Taizu Gao already used as toilet paper?
Please answer.”
He said.
"Master, please give me a clear word, brothers will listen to you."
"Yes, when you went to North Korea, you were the prefect, brothers will listen to you."
...
The soldiers behind were cheering.
Of course, the cannon behind them still pointed at the city wall.
Poor Yongping Prefect Ma Chongqian looked at the little villain with sad eyes.
"You are highly respected, brothers believe you. If you say that this thing has long been waste paper and you can take it to the toilet to wipe your butt, the brothers said nothing, and immediately put Wang Bao and Fan Dongmo on their own, and then wait for the court to deal with it. You give me an accurate statement and we will listen to you, you have the final say."
Yang Feng shouted.
Ma Chongqian glanced at him deeply...
He is not stupid.
He is a native of Henan, and at most he works with Fan Dongmo, and he is not a good relationship on weekdays. As for Wang Bao, he has only met several times. The latter has just been transferred to the General of Jizhen, and he, the prefect of Yongping, cannot make a fuss about a military general. He wants to make a clear statement that the imperial edict is invalid? I am afraid that Emperor Wanli himself would have to think carefully before, what is the law of ancestors? The law of ancestors is obviously already turned into waste paper, and everyone agrees that it is waste paper, but it must not be said publicly that it is waste paper.
Because the legitimacy of the rule of Emperor Ming Dynasty originated from Emperor Taizu.
When the ministers accused the emperor, they pointed at him and said that this is not your country, but Emperor Taizu's country...
The emperor must also say, you are right!
To deny Taizu, it is to deny the legitimacy of rule.
So even more than a hundred years ago, this thing was already waste paper. By the Jiajing Dynasty, the censors who hated this thing the most had to submit a memorial to the emperor for printing more and hand it over to the officials and schools in various places to organize their studies.
One of his ministers publicly said that this was waste paper?
When the censor turned around, he immediately impeached him. If one impeached him, he would be deposed at the least. At the worst, he would be deposed by his political opponents and even if he was bitten by his political opponents, he would be deprived of his skin.
real.
Any crime of treason can be deducted.
"Yang Zhuangshi, this matter has been reported to the Ming court, but there has not been a saint yet. Therefore, I am not sure whether Emperor Taizu Gao's imperial edict will be implemented. Everything needs to be waited for the saint to be cut off. However, you and others hold the general, hold the troops hostage, kill the official army, and threaten the city. These are wrong."
He said slowly.
"Master, then that is to say, before the Holy Tribunal arrives, the imperial edict is effective. What I am right?"
Yang Feng said.
"This, I said..."
"Please answer the magistrate, is it effective or not?"
"this……"
“It works or not?”
Yang Feng said.
The soldiers behind were clamoring.
"It works, of course it works. Can Taizu's words not work?"
A place next to him was obviously a local gentry and went forward without hesitation and said.
Yang Feng looked at Ma Chongqian.
"Since I have never heard of the previous imperial edict, then this imperial edict is still effective."
Ma Chongqian had no choice but to say.
"So what is wrong with Cao people? Cao people witnessed Wang Bao, the general of Ji Town, killing innocent soldiers and instigating subordinates to loot the people. Cao people was infuriated and tied them to Beijing. What is wrong with Cao people? Fan Dongmo used Yongping troops to prepare for the law, and did not want to enforce the law impartially. When the evidence was conclusive, he used his duties to impeach Wang Bao, but instead deceived us to relax our guards. Then he secretly mobilized the army to attack us. If it weren't for Taizu's appearance, we would all be buried in the wilderness. Then Cao people and these soldiers suspected that he colluded with Wang Bao's cliques and intended to kill people to silence him, and also aroused righteous indignation and tied them to Beijing. So what is wrong with Cao people?
If you admit that the imperial edict is still valid, then I will not be guilty.
Not only can you not stop us, but you also have to provide us with convenience. Don’t forget that those who dared to obstruct the people from tying and sending guilty officials back then made Emperor Taizu Gao furious and issued an order to search the house.
You won't want to search your house, do you?
If you insist that we are guilty, it is equivalent to denying Emperor Taizu Gao's imperial edict.
As a minister of the Ming Dynasty, it would be too much to openly deny Taizu, right?
Yang Feng said.
"I just talk nonsense, I just talk about the facts and tell the truth about it. What's more, I never said that you are guilty, but what's the point of fiddling with guns and cannons in front of the city gate?"
Magistrate Ma said angrily.
"Master, we want to go in too, but you don't open the door. As for fiddling with guns and cannons, these brothers, as soldiers, do they fiddle with embroidery needles? These guns and cannons are like their bodies, and they naturally have to carry them with them. Is there any problem with carrying guns and cannons as soldiers?"
Yang Feng said with a smile.
"There are thieves leaving the city today, and the city gates are not open. You can stay outside the city, as for the food and food you need..."
Prefect Ma looked at the gentry.
"My brothers have been stationed in the Great Wall for twenty years to ensure peace in our place. They have also gone to North Korea to kill the enemy for the country. Now that they have returned from triumphant, I am justified and should welcome my brothers."
The gentry said with a smile.
Well, Yang Feng and others were stationed outside Funing City, but just in case, they were on the chariot city directly. After experiencing Fan Dongmo's deception, they really no longer believed in officials. Even honest people like Hu Huaide were already full of vigilance for officials. Then the city sent out wine and meat. At this time, the Wanli Dynasty was at its peak, and the prices were actually very low. In places like Yongping, where Luanhe shipping was shipping, the rice price was only three or four cents of silver.
It really doesn't cost much money to welcome the air.
"In the past, all the civil servants were arrogant and we didn't even look at each other. Even though Marshal Qi had to smile in front of them, he had to give gifts when he asked them for business. Even the aristocratic families in these places could show him their faces, but now he is so reasonable."
Li Wuyi sighed while drinking.
"Hmph, you still don't know that you have caused a great disaster. You think you dare to be arrogant if you have the imperial edict. However, you don't know that the court has its own rules. If you dare to break the rules of the court, it is necessary to confiscate the family."
Fan Dongmo, who was tied next to him, sneered.
Then he looked at the meat in their hands with a little desire...
"rule?"
Yang Feng smiled and leaned over.
He held the chicken legs of a gentry in the city to reward the army and swayed in front of him.
Fan Bingbei subconsciously swallowed.
"Rules? When we recognize these rules, these rules are the rules. When we do not recognize these rules, we are the rules."
