Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 680 Rebellion?That's right!It is my rebellion!
Early the next morning,
Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu were woken up by the noise.

There was a lot of noise outside the shack, as if someone was yelling and cursing.

This made Zhu Youxiao very puzzled. Everyone worked together to survive the flood and build the embankment together. This is a fateful friendship. Why did someone quarrel?
As a result, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu went out to have a look, and found that a group of yamen servants and policemen who did not know where they came from were looking for people to arrest people in shacks, and there was a sedan chair standing beside them.

What's happening here? !

Seeing that someone was arresting people, the surrounding people gathered around one after another: "What are you doing?"

"Why arrest people?"

"What happened to them?"

These yamen servants quickly drove the crowd with their scabbards, and Huang Liqing could hear the noise.

Hearing that someone was coming to arrest people, Huang Liqing rushed over immediately, seeing these unknown yamen servants arresting them, he immediately shouted: "Stop!"

A policeman stepped forward and looked at the muddy middle-aged man: "Who are you?"

"This county is Huang Liqing, magistrate of Xingyang County!" Huang Liqing's words stunned the arresters.

He never expected that the majestic county magistrate turned out to be like this.

Hearing that the county magistrate of Xingyang was here, Huang Maosong came out of the sedan chair and looked at Huang Liqing, who was covered in mud and muddy legs. Huang Maosong covered his mouth and nose in disgust: "Magistrate Huang, why are you like this? Where is the dignity?"

Huang Liqing held his head high: "This county and the people of this county share weal and woe together. Rescuing and fighting disasters is the majesty and dignity of the imperial court. Why do you distinguish people by their clothes?"

Huang Maosong sneered: "Magistrate Huang, you are the magistrate Huang of Xingyang, and I am magistrate Huang of Macheng. Both you and I are surnamed Huang, so let's count them as our family."

"The county is not afraid to tell you that the county is here for a big deal!"

"These mud legs are the mobs of Macheng Goose Town!"

"They broke up their homes in this county, beat their elder brothers and nephews to death, and finally swept away their wealth and food and fled all the way to Henan, trying to hide the truth. Do you think this county should arrest these mobs?"

Huang Liqing frowned slightly: "These people are all kind people. They worked hard and helped Xingyang fight the disaster. They never complained of suffering or tiredness."

"Now you Macheng county magistrate says that you want to take people from this county, and you want to take people from across provinces. Do you think it's feasible?"

Huang Maosong said disdainfully: "Magistrate Huang, you really don't know the seriousness of the matter, some untouchables, do you know what serious crime they have committed?"

"This county tells you that they are related to the emperor's disappearance!"

"These untouchables have to be taken back to be tortured, otherwise can you afford it?!"

When Huang Liqing heard that it was related to the disappearance of the emperor, he was a little confused: "Is the emperor missing?"

Huang Maosong said: "That's right! The emperor and Yuanfu are missing. These people are the relevant people!"

Huang Liqing frowned and asked, "What does the emperor's disappearance have to do with the people?"

Huang Maosong became impatient: "It's not that some rebels led these mobs to break into my Huang's house and killed my brother and nephew. How could the emperor and Yuanfu, who were watching a play at my Huang's house, disappear?"

"I don't have time to talk to you so much today, magistrate Huang, don't make mistakes!"

"Go!"

As he said that, the arresting officials brought by Huang Maosong drew their knives and prepared to take people by force.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help it when he saw it, and he immediately shouted: "Stop!"

Huang Maosong watched another person come out to stop him from taking revenge, and couldn't help but angrily said, "Who are you?"

Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly: "The people in Goose Town are all good people. It is purely Huang Maoqing who disregarded the laws of the country, ignored the court's new policy, oppressed the people, oppressed the good, and acted tyrannically, which attracted the people's backlash. This is Huang Maoqing's own fault. What are you doing with the people?"

Huang Maosong's eyes lit up when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words: "Good guy, you are the gang of rebels who brought mobs to attack my Huang's house, right?!"

"Come on, take down this traitor first!"

Seeing that the yamen servants were about to make a move, the people of Goose Town quit and stepped forward to stop them one after another: "You want to catch King Mu, don't even think about it!"

When Huang Maosong heard this, he shouted to Huang Liqing who was at the side: "Magistrate Huang, did you hear that? These mobs call this King Renmu! He is a traitor!"

"Don't you hurry up and send someone to take down this traitor with me, and torture him!"

Zhang Haogu snorted coldly: "Every mouth is a pariah mob, every mouth is a rebel, Huang Maoqing of Goose Town regards the court's laws as nothing, distorts the New Deal, and harms the people. He deserves to die! Keep your mouth shut and rebel, whether you have someone to testify or wire to report news, regardless of the reasons for black and white, you cover Huang Maoqing and let him wantonly break the law in Goose Town, and now you dare to go rampant again, you have great authority!"

As soon as these words came out, Huang Maosong was a little surprised. Who is this person in front of him?

No wonder Huang Maosong couldn't recognize him, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu were now covered in mud and stains, no one could recognize that this was the Emperor of Ming Dynasty and Yuanfu.

Huang Maosong couldn't help asking, "Who are you?"

Zhang Haogu sneered: "Gu Haozhang."

Huang Maosong smiled: "Gu Haozhang? Never heard of it!"

"Where does the kid dare to stop the county from doing things?"

"Be careful that the county has taken you as a traitor!"

Zhang Haogu said: "Take me as a traitor too? Why do you take me? Where is the law of the court?"

Huang Maosong sneered: "Just because you speak to the rebels, this county will think you are also a rebel!"

"As for the law? The law is also something that the untouchables can say?"

"The words of this county are the law!"

There was a mob of untouchables here, and the people around them tightly grasped the hoes, picks, and poles in their hands.

Since the implementation of the New Deal in Henan, where have such rampant officials existed?

People also have dignity and self-respect. Everyone has worked hard to fight floods and rescue disasters. Now, in exchange for Huang Maosong, a pariah and a mud leg, how can the people feel so bad?
They are all officials of the imperial court, why is there such a big gap?
"Come on, take down these rebels for me!" Huang Maosong shouted, he couldn't wait to take down these mud legs to avenge his brother's family!

Dare to break into Huang's house, kill his brother and nephew, and take away all the food, these untouchables, damn it!
Yamen servants came forward with knives, and the people of Goose Town held up sticks and poles to fight. Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu looked at each other, and Zhang Haogu stepped forward suddenly: "I see who dares! Zhang An do it!"

Zhang An quickly knocked down the knives of these yamen servants with a shoulder pole.

Seeing such a ruthless person rushing out suddenly, Huang Maosong was frightened. He immediately hid behind several yamen servants, stretched out his head and shouted: "Rebellion! Rebellion! These rebels dare to attack court officials!"

"Why are you still standing there? Take down these traitors, no matter if they live or die!"

"Take a break!"

"Who dares to mess around?"

Huang Zongxi and Eunuch Wei came out to stand in front of Zhu Youxiao.

Zhang An stepped forward alone and repelled the yamen guards and arresters brought by Huang Maosong. The angry Huang Maosong gritted his teeth: "Wait, these rebels are really rebellious, rebellious!"

"Magistrate Huang, you have such a group of rebels in Xingyang, why don't you take action?"

In the stalemate, there was a large number of people in the distance, and Huang Maosong laughed when he saw it: "Haha, my soldiers from Huangzhou Mansion have arrived!"

"Magistrate Huang, have the rebels taken it?" Qianhu, who led the army, shouted.

Huang Maosong shouted: "These rebels are resisting arrest, take them down quickly!"

Qianhu of Huangzhou Prefecture arrived with guard soldiers, surrounded Zhu Youxiao and others, pointed their spears at Zhu Youxiao and others, and the situation reversed again.

Huang Maosong stepped forward triumphantly: "You rebels, do you still dare to be rampant now?"

"Qianhu, these rebels and these mobs are all captured!"

Huang Liqing shouted: "No!"

"This is my territory in Henan. Your soldiers from Hubei have no right to arrest people in Henan!"

Huang Maosong said disdainfully: "Magistrate Huang, my soldiers and horses from Hubei are here now, and I want to arrest people. What can you do to me?"

Huang Liqing looked at the extremely arrogant Huang Maosong, and knew that if these people fell into Huang Maosong's hands, their lives would be worse than death. How could Huang Liqing, who had shared joys and sorrows and died together with these people, turn a blind eye to them? He immediately stepped forward and stood in the way of Zhu Youxiao. In front of Zhang Haogu and others: "If you dare to make a move, just step over me. I, Huang Liqing, am the magistrate of Xingyang County, and I will protect the safety of the people in this county!"

Huang Maosong's eyes became dangerous: "Huang Liqing, magistrate Huang, don't make mistakes, swords have no eyes!"

Huang Liqing hung his neck: "You have to produce evidence to prove that these people are traitors, or you can't take these people away from my territory in Xingyang. It's better for you to leave now, magistrate Huang, or don't blame me for participating in your book!"

Huang Maosong said: "Qianhu, do it."

Qianhu was a little hesitant: "County magistrate, this is the county magistrate of Xingyang, we go to the province to arrest people."

Huang Maosong said impatiently: "Why do you care so much? These mobs are related to the disappearance of the emperor. This is a major matter of the imperial court. Why can't a small county magistrate sacrifice?"

"Hurry up!"

Qian Hu gritted his teeth and said cruelly, "Tie up County Magistrate Huang, and then capture these mobs!"

A few soldiers from the guard rushed forward to grab Huang Liqing and was about to tie him up. The surrounding people saw that their parents and officials were about to be arrested by the soldiers from Hubei, and they all stepped forward to stop them. The guard on the side took a firecracker in his hand and shot it at the sky.

boom!
There was a gunshot, the smoke filled the air, and the chaotic scene suddenly fell silent.

Be it Qianhu, Huang Maosong, or Huang Maoqing, seeing the firecrackers popping up suddenly, people were stunned, and the common people were even more at a loss. Today, this day is more magical than what they have experienced in the past ten years.

Qianhu quietly came to Huang Maosong's side: "County magistrate, these people are not ordinary. Their firecrackers are of excellent workmanship, with a crisp sound and less smoke. Obviously they are high-quality gunpowder and projectiles. The workmanship is not like folk products. "

Not like a folk product?

Huang Maosong also hesitated: "Who are you waiting for?! You actually hold such a firecracker?"

Zhang Haogu sneered, "Magistrate Huang won't arrest us anymore?"

Huang Maosong shouted sharply: "Don't change the subject!"

"You untouchables, breaking the Huang family, killing my elder brother's family, and looting all the food and grass is a major crime of rebellion. Now you are still resisting arrest, it is a crime that cannot be punished!"

"Who is your last name, where do you live, and what is your identity? I have not recruited them from the truth!"

Zhang Haogu looked at Zhu Youxiao: "Master?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded: "Up to now, I'm not in the mood to continue."

Eunuch Wei immediately took a step forward, looked at the tense guard soldiers and the skeptical people around him, and ignored them, and said directly to Huang Maosong: "I am Wei Zhongxian, the eunuch of Bingbi and the governor of the East Factory. Tomorrow, the chief assistant is here, and you are not welcome!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked!

"What?! He said he was Wei Zhongxian? He also said that the emperor and the chief assistant are here?"

"The emperor and the first assistant? Could it be Mr. Mu and Mr. Gu? But they don't look alike either?"

"How is this possible? The emperor and Shoufu are fighting the disaster together with us? How is this possible?"

"The emperor and the chief assistant are by our side? Is it true?"

The common people were chattering, and Huang Maosong's face had changed, but he still had a glimmer of hope: "Heh, heh."

"How could the emperor and the chief assistant appear in such a place?!"

"Don't talk tricks, don't tell the truth!"

Just as he was talking, a large number of people arrived, wearing second-rank golden pheasant official robes, followed by a large number of civil and military officials and soldiers.

Seeing the guard soldiers appearing on the construction site, the visitor directly shouted: "Left and right, capture these people for me!"

Immediately, heavily armed soldiers stepped forward and surrounded the guards, and now it was the turn of the guards to be afraid.

Huang Maosong looked at the person who came, saw the red golden pheasant official robe, the rhinoceros jade belt around the waist, and the cloud and phoenix ribbon seal, and immediately understood the identity of the person who came, and said immediately: "Governor Zhou, we are here to capture the rebels and Mob!"

As a result, Zhou Jinyong ignored Huang Maosong at all. He hurriedly walked up to Zhang Haogu and Zhu Youxiao, and then knelt down directly: "My lord, Zhou Jinyong, governor of Henan Province, is visiting the emperor. Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Immediately afterwards, the civil and military officials who followed Zhou Jinyong knelt down one by one: "My lord, please refer to the emperor, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

Huang Maosong was dumbfounded, Huang Liqing was dumbfounded, thousands of households were dumbfounded, and the common people were even more dumbfounded!

Eunuch Wei looked proudly at Huang Maosong who was beyond shock, and shouted: "Macheng County Magistrate Huang Maosong, don't kneel down yet!"

Huang Maosong was so frightened that he immediately knelt on the ground: "Chen, Chen"

And Huang Liqing just realized it, it turned out that the emperor and the chief assistant were really here!

The people also realized at this time that the Emperor and Chief Assistant of the Ming Dynasty were actually eating and living with them, fighting disasters and providing relief. Thinking of the scene of Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu jumping into the flood with sandbags in their arms, Thinking about these days, Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu have been working all the time, and they don’t dislike eating, even being muddy and dirty, the common people are stunned, how can there be such an emperor and chief assistant in the world?
For a moment, the people knelt on the ground one after another: "My emperor, long live, long live, long live, long live."

Zhou Jinyong said: "Your Majesty, the chief minister and minister brought clean water and clothes, please the emperor and chief minister to take a bath and change clothes."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, raised his hand and said, "Let's all be flat."

"I'm going to take a shower and change clothes first, and calculate the time, someone should arrive again in a while."

After Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Haogu and others took a bath and changed their clothes, Zhu Youxiao took off his dirty robe and put on clean clothes. He wore the bright yellow five-claw dragon robe and the coiled dragon jade belt At the waist, the hair is tied up in a bun, covered with a net cover, and a silver hairpin with a gold silk dragon head is inserted, and finally, wearing the Yishan crown, the Great Ming Emperor Zhu Youxiao appeared again.

When Chu Xingyu arrived with officials of all sizes from Hubei, what he saw was a large number of officers and soldiers as well as civil and military officials from Henan. Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu were sitting on chairs, while Huang Maosong was kneeling on the ground with shackles, His face was as pale as death.

"The guilty minister is late, please make amends." Chu Xingyu quickly got off his horse and knelt down.

Zhu Youxiao looked at these Hubei officials who came in a hurry, and sighed softly: "Zhen, I have a lot of emotions in the past few days of private visits in Weifu."

"Macheng is dead, Chu Aiqing, do you know?"

Chu Xingyu kowtowed regardless of the mud on the ground and said: "The guilty minister asks the emperor to forgive me."

Zhu Youxiao said, "Macheng is rotten."

"My heart is also broken."

"In this Macheng area, the county magistrate acted recklessly, allowing the people to be bullied and squeezed by unscrupulous gentry, and turned the good government's new government into an evil government. Whose responsibility is this?"

"The people in Macheng are diligent and conscientious, they are all good people of Ming Dynasty, but they were oppressed by a small gentry, forced to sell their children and daughters, and their families were ruined."

"If one day, the common people are forced to raise their banners to rebel and want to overthrow Daming just like overthrowing the Yuan Dynasty, I will not be surprised at all, this is all forced by you!"

"I have advised you before, reflect on yourself, reflect on yourself, reflect on yourself!"

"Let you take out your heart, lungs and intestines one by one, wash them, dry them in the sun, and pick them up! See if your hearts are clean and your intestines are benevolent!"

"But what about you?!"

"Neglect of duty! Corruption and perverting the law! Oppressing the common people! Bullying the superior and the inferior!"

"I'm already here, and I'm still trying to deceive me!"

"I will give you a chance. You want the gentry to govern themselves. You want Hubei to be governed like Henan. If you want money, food, and things, I will give you everything you can."

"But in the end, is this how you repay me?"

"The people in Macheng are oppressed to the point of numbness, what about other places?"

"Aren't the people in the prefectures and counties in Hubei all oppressed by the gentry like Macheng?"

Chu Xingyu was paralyzed on the ground, with his head firmly pressed against the ground: "Criminal, death penalty!"

Zhu Youxiao seemed very calm: "The imperial court implemented the new policy to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, but you caused anger and resentment in Hubei, which made the imperial court lose the hearts of the people in Hubei."

"Once the hearts of the people are scattered, how long will it take for the court to reunite?"

"The people are disappointed with the court, how much effort will the court have to spend to restore the people's confidence in the court?"

"Capital crime? You are a capital crime. Even if you have ten thousand heads, it is not enough for me to chop off!"

Huang Liji was already pale and sweating profusely when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, but Zhu Youxiao just glanced at him and continued: "The things in Hubei were not done by one person, but colluded with each other! "

"You want to hide it from me and make me blind, but I tell you, my eyes can see everything clearly! There is nothing that can be hidden from me!"

"Jin Yiwei takes someone."
