Chapter 39 Liu Yixiu was chopped off and his head rolled

"Uncle Zhang Guo! You first used the cinnabar to be poisonous and harmed the inner court, so that Wang An was killed by the **** Wei Zhongxian! Then you proposed to set up Xiyuan as a value house, harmed the cabinet, and made Han Yu a flatterer! Then, you used the frontier army The matter of the fat jacket has caused a large number of speech officials to be punished, and the world's speech channels have been cut off! Now, you have borrowed coal from the Western Mountains and resorted to the vicious method of distributing coal to the refugees, which caused a split among our civil servants, and made us suffer from the strife of the nine clans. What the **** are you going to do to my Ming Dynasty?!"

  Liu Yixuan yelled at Zhang Gui while struggling, and then cried up to the sky: "God, you are really blind, why did His Majesty choose the Zhang family and make Zhang Gui the royal family!"

   Zhang Gui sneered rather speechlessly at this.

  In fact, he did not expect that he would intensify the intensity of the court struggle in the Tianqi Dynasty.

  In fact, his original intention was just to transform Daming, let Daming industrialize as soon as possible, and then get rid of the periodic collapse brought about by the traditional natural economy.

   Moreover, he is actually very cautious in doing these things.

  He didn't mention any steam engines when he came, but first brought out important industrial products before the industrial revolution, such as bearing carriages, flying shuttles and spinning jenny machines, which would soon appear in the next century.

  He wanted to take it step by step.

  In the end, he didn't expect that even if he took steps one step at a time and carefully changed Daming's production method, it would still cause huge fluctuations in the court.

  First, a speech official was killed, and then Wang An, the chief inspector of ceremonies, was killed.

   This is not a big deal, it also happened in the Tianqi Dynasty in the original history.

  But then a large number of speech officials were **** suppressed because of Fu Que's threat to the emperor, and the chief assistant Ye Xianggao was given to hang himself.

   Immediately afterwards, Liu Yixiu and a large number of powerful bureaucrats were punished by the nine clans for collaborating with the enemy and traitorous country.

   "Perhaps the reason why China in history suffered such a catastrophe at the end of the Ming Dynasty was because the reactionaries within it were not wiped out more intensely before its demise."

   Zhang Gui thought so at this time.

   "Pass the decree, Liu Yixiu will add a thousand knives! And give him his tongue first! Let him still slander the royal family like this! It seems that my brother-in-law should not serve the country sincerely!"

   Seeing Liu Yixiu saying this, Tianqi was very upset with Zhang Gui, so he simply ordered Liu Yixiu to be punished further.

Liu Yixiu was shocked after hearing this: "Your Majesty, don't! Don't be like this! Your Majesty, I'm the second assistant after all. I promise not to say anything. I take back what I just said. Your Majesty, I'm wrong. I shouldn't slander the royal family." !"

   "Your Majesty!"

   "Your Majesty!"

   "Your Majesty!"

  …

"ah!"

  Liu Yixuan screamed after not shouting for long.

  While Liu Yixiu was cut, Liu Guojin, Zhang Heming, Guo Xing, etc. were also executed.

   Click!

   Click!

   Click!

  Following one after another, the Yanling knives fell, and after a few knives, human heads rolled down from the platform, like soup-like dumplings, rolling down in front of the refugees below.

  Blood sprayed from the broken neck, like red fireworks blooming.

   "Good kill!"

   "Good kill!"

   "Good kill!"

  …

  The people cheered.

   Some couldn't help but shed tears because of this, rubbing their eyes, it seemed that the hatred that had been suppressed in their hearts for a long time was resolved at this moment.

   "Look what these people have done!"

   "In the past, you always said that the people of the Ming Dynasty are prosperous, and the cabinet ministers and ministers are all clean and caring for the people. As a result, now that I have killed so many ministers, none of the people thinks that they should not be killed. They are all applauding loudly like New Year's Eve!"

  Apocalypse said something upon seeing this.

  Han Yan, Huang Kezuan and other civil officials smiled awkwardly for a while.

  Next, Tianqi returned to Xiyuan

   It is natural for Wei Zhongxian to do things such as ransacking the house and arresting other people.

  And Zhang Gui returned to Xiyuan with Tianqi according to the order.

On the way back to Xiyuan, Tian Qi said to Zhang Gui: "I will not let you lose money for nothing. Since you said to the public that I gave you subsidies to buy cheap coal, I will let the inner court really give it to you. Subsidy, according to the current coal price, how much you sell at a par price, I will compensate you as much."

   "Thank you, Your Majesty."

  Zhang Gui did not refuse, he knew that Tianqi wanted to make the subsidy from the inner court a reality.

   "What do you think about what happened today?"

   Tianqi suddenly asked again.

  Zhang Gui glanced at Tian Qi in surprise.

   Tian Qi said: "But it's okay to say, I know that you are truly loyal to me, so I ask you this."

"yes!"

   Zhang Gui agreed and said: "What I think is that next, His Majesty will definitely steal a large sum of money from his home. His Majesty should rely on this money to train soldiers!"

   "Training?"

  Zhang Gui continued to reply: "Yes, Your Majesty, Liu Yixiu and the others should indeed be killed, but the fact that many rich and powerful bureaucrats have been cut off after their execution still exists."

   "Besides, as long as His Majesty still wants to treat the people as human beings, the conflict with these powerful bureaucrats will still exist!"

   "It is doomed that His Majesty will continue to fight with them in the future, and His Majesty should not hesitate to speculate on the powerful and bureaucrats with the greatest malice, because they may do all kinds of outrageous things for their own benefit."

   Speaking of this, Zhang Gui said: "If the interests are large enough, they can even sell the rope to hang themselves, so your Majesty cannot treat them lightly."

   "The rope with which you hang yourself can be sold."

   After hearing this, Tian Qi murmured a sentence, then nodded and said: "You are right, there are many people in this world who cannot fill their desires."

   "So Your Majesty must hurry up to train his troops, and he must train his soldiers and horses a lot, because it is not ruled out that there will be generals in charge of soldiers and horses, and I don't want His Majesty to treat the people too much as human beings."

After Zhang Gui returned, he said again: "Your Majesty, you have also noticed today that I just gave food to some of the refugees in Xishan, so that they would no longer freeze to death and starve to death, but they were stopped by powerful bureaucrats like cabinet ministers and ministers. He even did not hesitate to use troops to kill the servants of his ministers! He also did not care about his status as a royal family member! Therefore, it is conceivable that once the ministers really manufacture many industrial products in Xishan and let more people get benefits, I am afraid that there will be Bigger and more forces come to stop the minister from stopping His Majesty, and also stop Daming Zhongxing."

  "Why don't they let the people get benefits, and they don't want the country to be strong, and the country's prosperity is really not good for them?"

   Tian Qi couldn't help asking.

"Because in the eyes of these dignitaries and bureaucrats, these people are valuable items that can be sold and squeezed, and if His Majesty doesn't think so, and thinks that the Ming Dynasty is rich in the country, it means that they won't let them squeeze the people too much. So, they have to prevent people from living better."

   "However, most of the imperial court's taxes come from the people. If the people are not rich, how can the country be rich? If your Majesty wants to produce a large number of industrial products that benefit the country and the people, he will inevitably be hindered by many rich and powerful bureaucrats who are only interested in profit, and even rebel and cooperate with the enemy."

   Zhang Gui explained.

   After hearing this, Tian Qi took it for granted. After pondering for a moment, he said solemnly: "That's right! We must hurry up and train!"

   "In addition to training soldiers, in my opinion, Zhang Jiangling must be restored as soon as possible!"

   "After all, ransacking the house is not a long-term solution to ensure that the national treasury is full. Reforms are still needed, and taxation policies need to be rectified!"

"And this is inseparable from civil servants. More civil servants are needed to choose to be ministers of the country. Not only must Jiangling be rehabilitated, but also his reputation must be enhanced. After all, the forces opposing the prosperity of Ming Dynasty are more stubborn and powerful than those in the temple. Let more civil servants dare to stand up and be ministers who seek the country!"'

   Zhang Gui replied.

   Tian Qi said: "Don't I know that it is important to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation? It's just that there is no civil servant to request an order. If I directly issue an order, it seems that I am the only one who has this intention, and it is not what scholars want."

  Zhang Gui nodded after hearing this. He knew that Tianqi hoped that he was not the only one who wanted to reform the Ming Dynasty, but that some civil officials who were themselves scholars and bureaucrats were willing to restore Zhang Juzheng’s reputation, and then showed that he was not the only emperor who tried to reform the government.

  After Zhang Gui came back, he told Xu Guangqi about Tianqi's idea.

  Xu Guangqi therefore said: "Please rest assured, Uncle Guo, the disciple is willing to request an order for Duke Jiangling to restore his reputation!"

   "Are you really willing, not afraid of causing trouble?"

   Zhang Gui asked.

   "Speaking for the country and the people, the disciples are not afraid! Besides, after the trip to Xishan, the disciples also discovered that the Ming Dynasty has reached the time when it has to innovate!"

  Xu Guangqi replied.

   "Very good! You did not disappoint me!"

  Zhang Gui nodded.

   Now that he has his own party members, it is much easier to realize some political intentions.

   Not long after, Xu Guangqi went to Shu to ask for an order to restore Zhang Juzheng's reputation.

Tianqi was overjoyed after receiving Xu Guangqi's decree: "What a Xu Guangqi! Immediately, the vote will be approved, and his performance will be approved, and the posthumous posthumous title that Zhang Juzheng deprived of in the past will be restored, and the posthumous posthumous posthumous name Wenzheng will be changed. In order to make the country strong and the people rich, they can also be granted titles and posthumous posthumous titles! This will be inherited by their descendants from generation to generation! And the Ministry of Rites will push ministers and ministers to go to Jiangling to proclaim the decree and worship on my behalf, and let the Hanlin officials write a letter of worship to Jiangling, the inner court When the time comes, we will send a ceremonial inspector to accompany us with a pen."

   Soon, Zhang Juzheng's reputation was restored, and the imperial decree to send officials to pay homage to Jiangling Bo came to the Ministry of Rites.

   For a moment, the court was in an uproar.

   "Who said it! What's the intention to restore Zhang Jiangling's reputation?!"

   Soon, Yu Shi Fang Kezhuang also learned about this from the member of the Ministry of Rites, Wailang Guan Yunwei.

  Guan Operation and Maintenance replied: "Xu Zixian!"

   Qian Qianyi, who was also here, couldn't help saying after hearing this: "It turned out to be him!"

As he said that, Qian Qianyi looked at Fang Kezhuang and the others: "Masters, since he, Xu Guangqi, said this, it means that there is no one person behind this idea. From Qian's point of view, it is necessary to let this Xu Zi first understand what a soldier's wish cannot be violated."

   "Why don't you just send the dead to assassinate him!"

  Fang Kezhuang suggested.

  Qian Qianyi waved his hand: "That's not right, no matter how you say he is a fourth-rank official, he is easy to kill and cause big trouble, just scaring him is enough to deter other people."

"Too!"

  Fang Kezhuang and others nodded.

  On this day, Xu Guangqi was on his way back home not long after he came down to court, when he suddenly saw seven masked men coming out of four private houses.

  The seven masked men pulled out their knives and killed three of Xu Guangqi's followers on the spot.

  Xu Guangqi was shocked when he saw this, and couldn't help asking in a deep voice: "Who are you? How dare you kill the followers of the court officials? Who gave you the courage?!"

A masked man dropped a letter in front of Xu Guangqi, and said: "Xu Qianxian, our master asked me to bring you a sentence. If you really want to restore the Jiangling government, not only will you die next time." Followers. In addition, please don't forget that Zhang Jiangling's more than ten family members were starved to death, think more about your own relatives."

  The masked man cupped his hands and said, "Farewell!"

  Then, the masked man turned around and left.

   "Stop!"

  At this time, a voice suddenly came from the opposite side of the alleyway where Xu Guangqi and others were located. He only heard the person shout, and said again: "How dare you attack officials in the capital, it is too disrespectful to our factory guards!"
