Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 484 Don't Waste Food
"Jin Yiwei handles the case, and is ordered by the Holy Majesty to arrest the criminal Chen Yanzuo, and those who resist will be killed without mercy!" Liang Kewang, an officer of Jin Yiwei's thousand households, flashed his token to Ding of the Hou Mansion and said loudly.

At least one hundred households of Jin Yiwei came and all of them were fully armed. The servants of the Hou's mansion had never seen such a battle, and they panicked and hesitated to go forward.

"Why are you still standing there, enter the mansion to take people!" Liang Kewang gave an order, and Jin Yiwei rushed in.

"Presumptuous! I am Wei Guogong of the Ming Dynasty, who are you waiting for instigation, dare to break into Taining Hou's mansion?" Taining Marquis Chen Yanzuo hadn't said anything, but Wei Guogong Xu Yunjue stepped out and shouted.

He has the confidence, Wei Guogong is descended from the Zhongshan King Xu Da, who is the top nobleman in the past 300 years of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention a small Jinyiwei Qianhu, even the commander has to pay respects to him.

"That's just right, save me a trip to the Duke's Mansion, and take them all!" Liang Kewang was unmoved, and thought that it would be easier. He saw the bloody battle of the frontier army outside the customs, and he was very happy with these nobles who only knew how to enjoy themselves. Not impressed.

"My lord, the imperial court should have an explanation for arresting the current Marquis. Dare to ask me what happened to Chen Yanzuo?" Chen Yanzuo came forward with a gloomy expression.

"I'll make you understand, Li Er, read it to him!" Liang Kewang turned his head and said to a subordinate behind him.

"After investigation, in May of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Taining Marquis Chen Yanzuo forcibly confiscated 28 hectares of fertile land in Huangcun, Changping, causing the people in Huangcun to be displaced!

In December of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Yanzuo, the Marquis of Taining, rewarded Guo Youde, the owner of Guoji Grain Shop in Beijing, to disable him, and forcibly robbed Guo's daughter, causing him to hang himself!

In the spring of the 14th year of Chongzhen, the Marquis of Taining forced Liang to be a prostitute...

......"

The document in Li's second hand was quite long, and as he read it, Chen Yanzuo's complexion became worse and worse.

"Don't read it." Chen Yanzuo's voice trembled a little, he understood everything, this was a premeditated plan, and it was planned by Chongzhen long ago.

Now he doesn't care about those crimes anymore. If you talk about these dirty things, let alone the capital, how many nobles in Ming Dynasty have clean hands?

"I would like to donate all my family property in exchange for forgiveness from the Holy One." Chen Yanzuo bowed and saluted.

Since the emperor said this, no matter whether these crimes are true or not, they are also true. His biggest mistake was to underestimate Chongzhen's courage.

But the only way now is to admit his mistake, pray that Chongzhen can remember the merits of his ancestors, and forgive him.

"It's too late! Take it and take it to prison!" Liang Kewang helped him spread the word when he had time, and there were more than a dozen lists in his hands today.

"You...presumptuous! The Duke of this country wants to see the emperor!" Xu Yunjue saw that Chen Yanzuo surrendered his hands, and knew that something was wrong, and his face had already turned ferocious while panicking.

"The emperor doesn't have time to see you, take it down!" Liang Kewang didn't even ask anyone to read his crimes. It's no exaggeration to describe the dirty things under Xu Yunjue's hands.

……

It was another day when the whole city was wailing. From last year to now, in more than a year, the civil and military affairs of the capital city have been repaired three times.

The first time it was a civil servant, the second time it was a civil servant, and this time it was all the nobles.

Chongzhen's appetite is not insignificant. In just one day, as many as 120 or eight nobles were arrested in the capital, including those who served in the five-army governor's mansion.

The most unlucky one was Wei Guogong Xu Yunjue, who originally just came from Nanjing to the capital to settle the accounts, but by coincidence he bumped into the muzzle of a gun.

Dongchang and Jinyiwei jointly mobilized, and the Jingying army stood by. Liu Hongjian worked in Jinyiwei's yamen until dark, and finally settled the chaos in the city.

"My lord, it's been a busy day, let's have some food." Liang Yang waved his hand, signaling for his servants to bring some side dishes.

"Oh, I don't have time. You eat first, Lao Liang, and I have to go to the palace." The uncle in the palace was still waiting for him to report on his work, and he thought that he had to go to eat after a busy day.

"Oh, by the way, don't get used to the nobles who are being arrested. Just feed these nobles what they usually eat in the prison. Don't waste food." Walking to the door, Liu Hongjian turned around and said.

"I obey the orders!" Liang Yang's beard curled up at the corner of his mouth, and he thought that dogs would not eat the food in the prison.

Qianqing Palace, Nuan Pavilion.

It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night was already chilly. Chongzhen stood in front of the window in his uniform, looking at the sky for a round and a half, not knowing what to think.

"My lord, the food is getting cold, it's time for you to eat." Wang Erxi, who was on duty by Chongzhen's side, said warmly and concernedly.

"I'm not hungry, let's remove the imperial meal." Chongzhen said in a deep voice without turning his head.

From the moment he decided to attack Xungui, Chongzhen knew that his emperor would definitely become notorious.

Civil servants, military generals, and the clan of honored relatives, he offended the foundation of Ming Dynasty all over the place. The reputation earned by hard work and careful work in the past 18 years was gone. Only Chongzhen himself knew this pain.

"Why do you have to withdraw it? The Master once said that waste is the greatest crime!" A voice suddenly came from outside the hall, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Hongjian?
"My subject, Liu Hongjian, has seen the emperor." Liu Hongjian stopped joking as soon as he entered the door.

"Youming, what's going on outside the palace?" Seeing Liu Hongjian coming, Chongzhen immediately let go of the pain in his heart, and waved Liu Hongjian to excuse him.

"It's all right outside the palace. How dare those nobles dare to act presumptuously in the capital? Your Majesty is worrying too much. You are not in good health. How can you not even eat?" Liu Hongjian walked to Chongzhen and couldn't help but help Chongzhen to the table for dinner. .

He was also hungry, and while eating, he briefly told Chongzhen about the situation outside the palace.

The first battle in the capital was extremely beautiful. Firstly, Liu Hongjian didn’t give the nobles in the capital any time to react. Second, the capital was full of eyeliners of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and the city defense forces were all former troops who had participated in the Northern Expedition. .

These people have nothing to say about their combat strength or loyalty. No matter how bold those nobles are, they definitely dare not resist arrest in the capital.

"Why is your majesty still so unhappy? Do you know how much silver taels these nobles captured today have filled the treasury?" Liu Hongjian said while eating.

Chongzhen remained silent.

"A rough estimate is that we can get 900 or [-] million taels in the capital alone. This does not include the land, shops, mansions and other real estate of these noble families. The specific figures will take at least five days to be calculated."

The nobles are not the same as civil servants. The main method of civil servants is to embezzle and accept bribes to get money. Even if they buy family property, they are mostly entrusted to the children of the family, and they dare not be too presumptuous.

But Xungui is different. This group of people is relying on the emperor's grace. No family has several hundred hectares of fertile land or more than ten shops. .

"Your Majesty, are you worried about being infamous after a hundred years?" Seeing that Chongzhen was still depressed, Liu Hongjian put down the chopsticks in his hand.
