Chapter 2325

Everyone is remembering Huo Yan's loyalty and grief over his ending. Guo Hou's laughter is particularly abrupt and harsh at the moment.

"What if he doesn't obey? Smash him to death, and then drive wild dogs to eat. Those wild dogs have a round stomach, ha ha!"

Guo Hou looked crazy. Someone in the crowd retched. He became even more crazy when he heard it.

He opened his mouth and laughed silently. His body trembled with the rhythm of laughter, looking extremely happy.

He looked up at the sky, narrowed his eyes and shouted, "old thief Huo Yan, damn it, wild dogs don't count. Do you remember the meat I asked you to give? Ha ha!"

Lin Qun'an's throat surged, and the people had awakened. Some squatted on the ground and vomited, others were crying

"You must die!"

"Sir, cut him!"

Those people gradually slowed down, and everyone was furious.

"A good Anxiang county is now in ruins by this rebel. It's time to dig his family's ancestral grave!"

"Dig what ancestral grave! Kill him, the three families of the Guo family!"

"Yes, kill the three families of the Guo family!"

"Kill him!"

In the excitement of the crowd, someone threw a stone. The stone fell on Guo Hou's side, bounced a few times, and finally stopped at his feet.

Guo Hou seemed to be startled. He shouted angrily over there: "die!"

Lin Qun'an shook his head, and the sergeants shouted, "don't throw anything, or you'll catch the board!"

The crowd was restless. Someone shouted, "Sir, the rebel asked someone to kill Lord Huo at that time. Why don't we kill him?"

Lin Qun'an said, "uncle wants him to go back alive."

"Xinghebo?"

Even Guo Hou trembled at the mention of the name.

He was ready to be cut, and he felt he could bear the pain. But when Lin Qun'an mentioned Fang Xing, Fang Xing's cruel experience gradually came to mind.

Killing without blinking is just one thing. It is said that Fang Xing buried prisoners alive and ate human flesh.

Lin Qun'an came to him. When Guo Hou looked up at himself, he said, "there are many rebellions after cleaning up the offering, but you are the only one. Guo Hou, you are lucky."

……

News from all over the country snowed to the capital, and the situation in the South seemed to face directly, which surprised all civil and military officials and people in the capital.

Hundreds of rebellions, more than any dynasty, make people think they are in the end of the Dynasty and in troubled times.

Fang Xing's sitting in Jinling is a reassurance. Both officials and people believe that he can suppress the situation in the south.

But everyone is worried about another point. They are worried that Fang Xing will kill and kill the leading figures of Confucianism.

Therefore, some of the courtiers wrote to Jinling, and some stammered to Zhu Zhanji to express their concerns in this regard. Then Zhu Zhanji said frankly that the list would be sent to Peiping in time.

Zhang Fu inevitably worried about these. He talked to Meng Ying in the governor's office of the five armies and also mentioned the matter.

"Dehua seems funny, smiling and talkative, but the man is the most stubborn in his bones. If he is angered, no matter what gentry and Confucianism you are, you can't even beg the king."

Meng Ying said reluctantly, "Your Majesty also sent Yang Wuhou. Yang Wuhou is stable and wants to surround him."

When they said this, they were not worried that Fang Xing would be angered, but that he would take risks and use this opportunity to clean up the south to clean up Confucianism.

Zhang Fu felt that there were some groundless worries, so he smiled and said, "these innovations will not be a temporary idea. They have appeared since Emperor Wen. Dehua has worked hard for many years and will not destroy the Great Wall."

Meng Ying was a little jealous. He bowed his head and thought that Fang Xing had been involved in the royal family since Fang's weak crown, and then came to this day step by step. During this period, he made many plans. Now it seems that most of them are planning for the future of Daming.

No one doesn't want to be an important minister in charge of the country, but the limitations of their ability and their different experiences make them only have their own positions.

For Meng Ying, what he cares most in the world is Baoding Houfu, followed by his future.

Zhang Fu and he were almost the same. They were relatively silent until a burst of footsteps came.

"The messenger from the south is coming!"

They got up quickly, and then hurried into the palace to ask for an audience.

When I arrived outside the palace, I saw many important officials waiting, and the atmosphere was tense.

A waiter will come and take them in later.

In the Qianqing palace, Zhu Zhanji was looking at the papers. The ministers came in and saluted. He just nodded slightly and continued to look.

His eyebrows were slightly wrinkled, the corners of his mouth were slightly down, with a little cold meaning, and he looked very unhappy.

Later, after reading it, he looked up and said, "more than three hundred cases, the whole south, more than three hundred cases of rebellion, the biggest one... Broke down the county seat of Anxiang County, the county magistrate Huo Yan died for the country, and the gentry took the lead!"

Zhu Zhanji held the paper roll in his hand and said angrily, "someone estimated that I would be too mean. The gentry are the foundation of Daming. Why don't you give me some land."

Wait!

Some civil servants really think so. They immediately look at the emperor with bright eyes and guess whether he wants to change his course.

If the clean-up is over, there is still room for maneuver. The relationship between Confucianism and the emperor will be repaired slowly, and then there will be no difference from previous dynasties.

This is everyone's wish!

But the emperor on the throne snorted coldly and said, "today, it seems that there are many greedy gentry. Will I give the land today and give it back tomorrow? If I give this, will I give it back to a group of scholars in the next few years?"

His voice grew dark: "give it today and tomorrow. When will Daming pack it for them?! HMM!"

"Your Majesty, calm down..."

"Calm down?"

It's spectacular that all the ministers bow down together.

But Zhu Zhanji was not happy. He got up and walked down to the gate of the hall. Looking at the dazzling sunshine outside, he said, "some people said that this world is my world and the world of the Zhu family. I thought so and wanted to take charge of the world."

Uh

Even the eunuch knew that it was not easy for the emperor to talk about the world of the Zhu family. What's the difference between it and the wooden fetal statue in the temple.

Zhu Zhanji turned back slowly, looked at the ministers from behind, and then looked at the throne.

"The experience of emperor Ren let me know that the world is not mine or the Zhu family. If I can't figure this out, the Zhu family will be in great trouble and become a lamb slaughtered by rebels."

"Your majesty!"

A civil servant knelt down. He untied his hat and bowed deeply.

The ministers knelt down bareheaded in front of Zhu Zhanji. Only Zhu Zhanji was standing in the hall.

He walked slowly through the kneeling rows.

He was like a God, looking at these great Ming dignitaries who bowed their heads.

"The former Song Dynasty was the world of scholar officials. Whose world was Daming?"

Zhu Zhanji raised this question, but he was not looking for an answer.

He went to the throne again, faced the throne, reached out and touched the armrest, and said, "the chair is just a chair. Everyone has a chair. Only when you sit firmly can you get a good end."

The emperor's words revealed the murderous opportunity, and so did the ministers below.

The ministers who opposed the clean-up and offering would hate Guo Hou because he showed the emperor the other side of the southern gentry.

The ministers who agreed to clean up and offer also hated Guo Hou.

As a gentry, I don't want to rebel and break through the county. This signal is really frightening.

In the past, most of those rebels rebelled for a while, that is, there was a collapse of the county in Shandong, but it was an internal riot in the county.

But Guo Hou was different. He gathered his farmers to attack the county.

Attack the county!

This is a dangerous signal, a signal that the emperor can't sleep well.

If we attack the county today, will we attack Peiping tomorrow?

"Gentlemen, please rise."

Zhu Zhanji quickly cleared up his mood, turned back and sat down and said, "I think the gentry are domineering, but as for daring to rebel, in the final analysis, they are spoiled!"

Spoil?

"Yes, just spoil."

Zhu Zhanji said, "Daming is getting better and better at the gentry, and they are becoming more and more dissatisfied, so the time to clean up the investment is actually too late!"
