Monument Yangmen

Chapter 862 Confucianism protects each other (tonight's update...)
"Corruption, bribery, bribery, abuse of power, public interest, and even disregard for human life, you are also involved. What's more, you have linked up with Buddhism and Taoism to disrupt our government orders.

It has been less than a year since I ascended the throne as a great treasure, and you dare to embezzle and do evil.

Colluding with outsiders to harm the common people.

If I allow you to continue to sit in the official positions, do you still dare to collude with outsiders and disturb my country together? "

Yang Qisheng was terrified and slammed loudly.

Every sound of his was like a sharp knife urging his life, piercing into the chests of the officials in the palace.

The officials were sweating coldly and trembling all over, as if they would collapse to the ground if they took a breath.

"Your Majesty, spare your life!"

Some officials were so frightened that they knelt down and prayed for their lives.

Yang Qi looked at him coldly, "I spared your life, who will forgive the lives of those prisoners who were killed by you? Who will forgive the lives of the people who were killed by you?
It seems that you wait for these rebellious officials and thieves, my court cannot tolerate you.

The crimes you have committed cannot be redeemed by ten thousand deaths.

There is no guilt in my court, otherwise I will definitely kill you and other nine clans. "

"Come here! Beginning with Li Qingming, I will be dragged out for me. I will make all the officials in the country of Yan remember that I will never tolerate corrupt officials. I will never tolerate drunk officials who carelessly take human life." .”

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty, spare your life! I know I was wrong! I know I was wrong!"

"..."

In the main hall, there were countless life-seekers, lying on the ground and shouting loudly.

Yang Qi was unmoved, his heart was like a stone.

The imperial guards set up Li Qingming, and walked directly to the outside of the hall. Li Qingming was swaying all over his body, staring in horror, feces and urine poured out.

Zamahe Aoki stared at Li Qingming with disdain, and said with disdain: "If I knew today, why should I be hacked to death?"

The imperial guards carried Li Qingming all the way out of the palace and went straight to the entrance of the largest vegetable market in Yanjing City.

In front of Caishikou, ten high platforms have been set up long ago.

Ten skilled executioners were already on standby on the high platform.

He escorted Li Qingming up to the high platform.

Zamahe Qingmu opened a volume of imperial decree, and he told the people who came to watch the punishment one by one about Li Qingming's crimes.

When the common people heard Li Qingming's disregard for human life, embezzlement and bribery, they all jumped angrily and cursed that they deserved to be killed.

"Execution!"

After reading the imperial decree, Zamahe Aoki let out a low growl.

The executioner picked up the machete, slumped in the wine for a while, raised the knife, and began to cut flesh on Li Qingming's body.

"Ah~"

The first knife fell on Li Qingming's body, and Li Qingming let out a hoarse scream.

A knife fell.

Li Qingming screamed and begged for his life incoherently.

Zamahe Aoki just smiled coldly, and then led the others back to the palace.

then.

Yang Qi counted the crimes committed by the officials one by one, and Zamahe Aoki escorted them to Caishikou one by one.

Hundreds of corrupt officials and those who disregarded human life were all sentenced to death.

Through this bloody massacre, Yang Qi wanted to tell all the Yan officials in the world how much he hated corrupt officials.

At the same time, he also used this to warn Dayan officials all over the world.

Don't be corrupt, or I won't be lenient.

The endless screams in the vegetable market lasted from the beginning of the month to the middle of the month.

Every day, people are taken to Xingtai.

People die on Xingtai every day.

Some of the criminal officials were frightened to death before going to Xingtai.

The people's applause at the beginning turned into silence, and finally they couldn't bear to look directly at it.

The entire Caishikou had already been stained red with blood.

Killed for half a month in a row.

The officials couldn't bear it anymore.

It's so cruel.

On the morning of June 23rd.

Wang Dan didn't wait for the other officials to perform, so he went out of the class first, bowed and said: "My minister, Wang Dan, see Your Majesty, I have a book to play."

Yang Qigao sat on the dragon chair and waved his hands.

"speak!"

Wang Dan straightened his waist and said neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, from the beginning of June to now, you have dealt with hundreds of criminal officials, all of whom have been sentenced to death. The executioners have also cut their flesh from the beginning of the month to now.

Your Majesty, as the saying goes, no one kills more than a nod.

Your Majesty wants to kill them, even if they kill them with a knife.

Why such torture?

The minister knew that His Majesty wanted to use their heads to warn all the officials in the world not to be corrupt and not to care about human life.

Now that he has been killed for half a month, His Majesty's goal has been achieved, so why not stop the torture. "

Yang Qi glanced at Wang Dan slightly, and said indifferently: "Why do you want to stop? Did they ever want to stop when they were sucking the bones from the common people? Did they ever want to stop when they disregarded human lives?"

Yang Qi stood up slowly, and shouted angrily: "When I sent people to investigate them, they were still accepting bribes and giving bribes, and they were still ignoring human lives. If it wasn't for my unwillingness to implicate innocent people, I would like to kill their whole family and give those who were killed by them The dead innocent people pay for their lives."

Seeing that Yang Qisheng was angry, Wang Dan was not afraid, he said with a straight face: "Your Majesty wants to punish those criminal officials and seek justice for the common people, it is only right.

Of course, His Majesty should not torture him.

His majesty's torture now is not only useless, but will also bring down the reputation of a tyrant.

It will also make many learned people in the world deter the imperial court.

Without the help of well-educated people in the world, how peaceful the world can be, and how long-term peace and stability can be achieved.

Therefore, I hereby beg Your Majesty to stop the torture.

To reassure the people. "

Yang Qi put away his anger, squinted his eyes, looked at Wang Dan, and said quietly: "What if I don't stop?"

Wang Dan was stunned, and said solemnly: "If Your Majesty continues to torture, I am afraid that all the educated people in the world will leave Your Majesty."

Yang Qi sat down slowly, and said calmly: "Then let them go. I torture corrupt officials, and they will be scared to leave. That only shows that they are not well-educated people at all. ...but a group of malicious people who want to emulate these corrupt officials.

I don't want to use such a person, and I don't want to use it. "

Wang Dan wanted to continue to open his mouth, but Yang Qi said again: "As for taking on the title of tyrant, I don't care. As long as the corrupt officials in the world can be wiped out, I don't care even if I am called a fool."

Wang Dan gritted his teeth, let out a long sigh, and returned to the train.

But he saw Lu Mengzheng stepping out, stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, my minister Lu Mengzheng, I have a book to play."

Yang Qi glanced at him and asked, "You want to persuade me to stop torture?"

Lu Mengzheng nodded, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, those criminal officials committed serious mistakes and punished them all, and they deserved their crimes. It's just that your Majesty is fond of torture, and it is inevitable that future generations will follow suit. If they are used by people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably lead to disaster." world.

Also, because His Majesty's great use of torture caused panic among the people in Yanjing City.

Nowadays, the people in the city cannot sleep day by day or sleep at night.

The sound of screams lingered in my ears all day long.

If this goes on like this, I'm afraid they will be frightened and move out of Yanjing City.

Therefore, I implore Your Majesty to stop the torture. "

Yang Qi smiled coldly, and asked in a low voice: "Lu Mengzheng, are you corrupt?"

Lu Mengzheng was stunned for a moment, and said with a dark face: "Since I served as the Yanjing Commander, I have been working hard and never dared to neglect. The salary that His Majesty distributed to me is enough to support my family.

How can the minister be corrupt?

The minister disdains it. "

Yang Qi nodded slowly, and said quietly: "Since you have never been corrupt, why do you want to persuade me to stop torture? Do you have a heart of kindness towards those corrupt officials, or do you think their crimes are not lethal?"

Lu Meng was frightened, "I dare not..."

Yang Qi stared at Lu Mengzheng, then at the other officials, and said coldly: "I have made up my mind, I must cut them into pieces. I advise you all, don't try to persuade me again.

The more you persuade me, the more guilty I will feel about you.

If it is not guaranteed, I will ask my subordinates to check you. "

"Sigh~"

Yang Qi's words were cruel enough.

All of a sudden pinched on the seven inches of Baiguan.

The mouths of a large number of officials were blocked.

However, there are still hard bones.

For example, Yushi.

I saw the new supervisory censor, took off the black gauze cap on his head, strode out of the train, and arrived in front of Yang Qi.

"Your Majesty wants to investigate, just investigate, I am not afraid."

"Your Majesty, since the beginning of the dynasty, only a benevolent king can be kind to the hearts of the people, and only a benevolent king can make the people live more peacefully. Like Chai Zhou and Tyrant Qin, they are both known for their cruelty.

Your Majesty should know what will happen to them.

I, Dayan Chuding, just needed to stabilize people's hearts.

Duan can't show others by torture, and the people who make trouble are panicked.

It also allows those with ulterior motives to take advantage of it.

For the sake of the people of the world, and for His Majesty's ten thousand year old society, I implore Your Majesty to stop the torture. "

The censor, who was only thirty years old, had a straight face, as if Wei Zheng was reincarnated, staring at Yang Qi solemnly, trying to persuade him.

Yang Qifei not only did not soften his heart under Yushi's persuasion, but became even harder than before.

"I've made up my mind! No need to say more! You step back!"

"His Majesty!"

"Get out!"

"If His Majesty does not agree to stop the torture, I will not back down even if I die."

Yang Qi got up slowly, and looked at him coldly, "I hate others threatening me the most, since you are willing to stand there, then stand there."

"From now on, stop for three days."

"Retreat!"

After leaving these two sentences, Yang Qi threw off his sleeves and left Qianyuan Hall.

All the officials were astonished.

Yang Qi ordered that the imperial censor stand still, and ordered that he stop court for three days.

This is to make it clear that the censor must die.

For a moment, the officials were in an uproar.

Some staunch officials immediately yelled, "Foolish King! Faint King!"

"..."

But Yang Qi had already left Qianyuan Hall, and he couldn't hear his scolding at all.

Chen Lin and Peng Pai followed behind Yang Qi.

The two looked at each other, stepped forward several times, but hesitated to speak.

When Yang Qi was about to reach the imperial study room, he suddenly stopped and said calmly: "Do you think that what I just did is very similar to a foolish king?"

When Chen Lin and Peng Pai heard the words, they hurriedly bowed and said, "I dare not."

Yang Qi glanced at them and said, "I know you think so, and you don't need to hide your thoughts from me."

Chen Lin hesitated and deliberated again and again, and said, "Returning to Your Majesty, His Majesty punished those corrupt officials and gave them severe punishments. The slaves don't think it's inappropriate.

As His Majesty said, they are not conscious when they take bribes and take people's lives lightly.

Being tortured now is justified.

only……"

Yang Qi curled his lips, "It's just that I'm going to hit hard when it comes to punishing the censor?"

Chen Lin nodded slowly.

Peng Pai also nodded in agreement.

The corner of Yang Qi's mouth twitched into a sneer, "That's because you don't understand that some people are always trying to harm you under the guise of doing your best."

Chen Lin and Peng Pai looked stunned.

Yang Qi walked to the imperial study room, and said calmly: "Let me be kind to everyone. If I am really kind to them, the people in the world will suffer.

Some people are corrupt today, and under their persuasion, I will punish them lightly.

Tomorrow, there will be one more corrupt person.

So back and forth, when corrupt officials are rampant.

Those who suffer are tens of millions of people in the world.

By that time, the smoke was everywhere.

If I punish them again, what's the use? "

While speaking, Yang Qi had already walked to the table in the imperial study.

He stopped in front of the table and said quietly: "More importantly, the attitude of the officials has strengthened my murderous intention. Just because my torture was too cruel, they all jumped out to intercede.

What is real cruelty, you should know better than them.

Compared with the battlefield, how cruel is it to hack a group of corrupt officials?
Not cruel at all.

I found out hundreds of corrupt officials at once.

All the officials didn't think about whether the local people would not be able to eat enough or wear warm clothes after those corrupt officials left their posts.

Instead, he interceded for a group of sinners.

You say, how can I not be angry? "

Chen Lin and Peng Pai froze on the spot when they heard the words.

They found that if Yang Qi didn't point out the matter, they would not have thought of this level.

Like those officials, they set their eyes on those criminal officials.

But he never thought about how the local people should live when hundreds of officials were investigated.

At this point, the two lowered their heads in shame.

In terms of status, there is no one more noble than Yang Qi in the world.

But it is such an indescribable person who always thinks about the people.

They feel ashamed.

Yang Qi saw through the thoughts of the two at a glance, but he didn't intend to teach them a lesson.

The idea that people are divided into ranks and ranks has been deeply ingrained in their minds, and they can't change it for a while.

Turned around and sat at the desk.

Yang Qi instructed Peng Pai and Chen Lin: "From now on, we, the monarchs and ministers, are going to fight the most difficult battle. You must send all the people in your hands, so that every village has one person stationed."

Peng Pai said in astonishment: "Your Majesty, now that the four enemies have bowed their heads, and the world respects my Great Swallow, how can there be any more battles?"

Chen Lin seemed to think of something. He frowned and said, "Your Majesty, Taoism has already been subdued, and Buddhism is hard to support. It will be a matter of time before we are subdued. What enemies do we have?"

Yang Qi didn't answer the questions of the two of them, but stared at them and asked, "What did you see in the court today?"

The two were stunned for a moment, and they were silent.

They didn't understand what Yang Qi meant.

Yang Qi said quietly: "I just dealt with Confucian people a little bit harder, and those officials who were born in Confucianism couldn't wait to jump out and intercede.

When I fought in all directions and the heads of the people I killed rolled around, why didn't they jump out and say, let me be merciful?

When I cleaned up the Buddhist and Taoist families, why didn't they jump out and say, let me be merciful?

Therefore, the kindness in their hearts is only for their own people.

Such people, how can I entrust the common people to them? "
