Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

"Brother Ergou, what are you doing in a daze, catch the king of Shu quickly!"

Behind Wang Ergou, a rebel man shouted anxiously.

"The King of Shu is not inside!" Wang Ergou's voice was a little confused.

"What?!" Several rebel men were stunned, and they hurriedly went up to take a look. Sure enough, there were incense burners, cushions, screens and other objects in the empty carriage, but Zhu Zhishu, king of Shu, was missing!

"That damned Zhu Zhishu ran away early!" a rebel man gritted his teeth and said.

When this happened, these rebel men still don't know what happened?
It must be Zhu Zhishu, that stern and cowardly guy who took advantage of the bad situation and ran away just now!
"Boss! Zhu Zhishu has run away, hurry up!" Wang Ergou shouted.

Shouting out this sentence, both the rebel soldiers who were fighting desperately with the palace defenders and the defenders who were struggling to resist were stunned.

Zhu Zhishu ran away?
He actually ran away? !

So what is the reason why so many of my own people are fighting bloody battles here, and my brothers and sisters have suffered heavy casualties? !

The leaders of the rebel army looked at me and I looked at you. One of them, dressed as a scholar, immediately shouted: "Why are you still standing there? Where can Zhu Zhishu go even if he runs? Light up a torch and look around, who is now?" Whoever finds Zhu Zhishu first wins!"

When everyone came back to their senses, they immediately ordered their brothers to scatter around to find Zhu Zhishu's traces. They didn't bother to fight desperately with the guards of the palace, and the guards of the palace didn't care about the people in front of them at this time, so they hurried to look for Zhu Zhishu. .

After all, on the battlefield just now, both sides were coming and going, shotguns were fired, and bows and arrows continued. Under such dense and chaotic blows, no one can guarantee that any place is safe.

Zhu Zhishu did run away early. When he found himself surrounded by those rebel mud legs, he wanted to run away. Obviously, he knew very well that the more people there were, the more danger he would be exposed, so Zhu Zhishu took advantage of it. When the guards and those mud-legged people were fighting for their lives, they took off their outer dragon robes, hurriedly changed into a coarse cloth outfit that they had prepared long ago, slipped out of the carriage and ran away.

Wearing this coarse cloth dress and the cover of the night did escape the attention of many people. At first Zhu Zhishu thought he could run away, but who would have imagined that his eyes were red from the fights on both sides, and the firecracker shotguns kept firing Lead, and the bamboo bow hunting bow even sprinkled arrows in pieces.

Under the blow of such a rain of arrows, Zhu Zhishu's obese body was shot by a cluster of arrows within a short time.

In fact, a cluster of arrows can't do much harm to a fat man like Zhu Zhishu. What's more, although Zhu Zhishu is dressed in coarse cloth, he is covered with soft silk armor. It's just Zhu Zhishu's body.

But being shot by the cluster of arrows, Zhu Zhishu's tense nerves completely collapsed. He was frightened all the way, thought he would be able to escape, but he met the mob again!
Zhu Zhishu never expected that there would be the possibility of dying here. Zhu Zhishu, who was so frightened by the arrow clusters that he lost his mind, ran away desperately, but Zhu Zhishu, who was blinded by the lights, couldn't tell the direction at all.

He is a majestic King of Shu who travels in a carriage and has a full set of guards of honor, so he still needs to walk to distinguish the direction?
What's more, it's night now, and there are people fighting all around. Wherever there are lights, there must be shouts of killing and wailing. Running, Zhu Zhishu himself didn't know where he ran to in the end.

The lights were dark, and there were swords and soldiers everywhere. Zhu Zhishu ran without thinking and stepped on the air, and disappeared into the night.

At this time, the rebel army and the official army were still fighting, and the two sides fought each other desperately, and each sent out their hands to find traces of Zhu Zhishu, but the two sides stalemate for a whole night, and did not find Zhu Zhishu's trace at dawn trace.

Let alone the rebel army now, the prefect of Chengdu is already stupid.

He couldn't hide such a major event as the disappearance of the king of Shu. Now he can only write a letter immediately and send a knight to report to the court.

At the beginning of the weather year 14, along with the uprising of the people in Sichuan and Shu, the disappearance of Zhu Zhishu, king of Shu, kicked off the curtain.

When the eunuch from Shuntian Mansion brought Jin Yiwei all the way to Sichuan and Shu, the news he got was that the people in Sichuan and Shu rebelled, and Zhu Zhishu, king of Shu, disappeared!

After hearing the news, the eunuch Wang Baoren, who is an angel, was dumbfounded.

"What, what?!"

"The king of Shu is missing?!"

"Hundreds of thousands of people in Sichuan and Sichuan rebelled?!"

Looking at Wang Bao who was in a daze, the Jin Yiwei also looked helpless. Wang Bao couldn't help being dazed, and they were also dazed. What else can they do in this situation?
The Baihu who led the team said: "Inspector Wang, the matter is serious here, how should we make a decision? Let's hurry back and report to His Majesty!"

Wang Bao came back to his senses: "Yes, yes, return to the capital, hurry back to the capital!"

At this time, there are hundreds of thousands of people rebelling in the land of Sichuan and Shu. Isn't it courting death to go at this time?
So Wang Bao immediately took Jin Yiwei to the capital and ran to the capital. As for the land of Sichuan and Shu, he would not go to the land of life or death.

At this time, in Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Youjiao was proudly reviewing the army.

In the capital camp at this time, the soldiers of the new army who had completed the latest formation in the two towns were being inspected by the emperor.

Zhu Youxiao is now wearing a dragon-patterned battle armor representing the identity of the Son of Heaven, a six-petal dragon-patterned Mingwang helmet, and a bright red combat robe. He is riding a black and elegant horse that looks like a dragon from the grassland. Inspecting the army.

Now it is the beginning of the new year, the new army in the two towns, more than [-] soldiers in full armor are lined up neatly, with dragon and tiger flags, sun and moon flags, four elephant flags and other flags waving, the soldiers are brightly armored and have long spears.

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

"The Ming army is mighty!"

The shouts of the soldiers were like thunder, and combined with the sound of metal and iron, a sense of killing came to the face.

Looking at the elite of all battles in front of him, Zhu Youxiao only felt that the blood in his whole body was boiling!
For the battle in the second half of this year, in order to completely unify the country and destroy Liaodong, Zhu Youxiao has paid a lot during this period, but now Zhu Youxiao feels that everything is worth it!

Riding on a war horse, Zhu Youxiao said with emotion to the officials and officials behind him: "Since I inherited the great cause, in order to follow the ambitions of my ancestors, uphold the destiny, obey the hearts of the people, I have reserved my career for thirteen years, and I have governed with all your loves." Tomorrow, the country will be prosperous and the people will be peaceful. Now the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the four seas are united, the people live and work in peace, and all nations come to court.”

"I pacified Monan, destroyed Jiaozhi, established Nanyang, and suppressed the eastern barbarians, but there are still Tartars threatening Liaodong!"

"Now, dear friends, we must unite with sincerity and work together. This year, I will definitely sweep the court and sweep the holes, and completely unify the world!"

All the officials and ministers bowed together: "Long live my emperor, long live, long live."

Zhu Youxiao drew his sword and pointed it straight at the sky: "Soldiers and soldiers, raise troops for a thousand days and use them for a while. Now you are training hard. In autumn, you will ride with my horses in Liaodong and sweep the Tartars. You will leave your name in history!"

More than [-] soldiers also shouted in unison at this time: "Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

"Your Majesty is mighty!"

When Zhu Youjiao was proud of himself, an internal eunuch ran over quickly: "Your Majesty, the Southwest Emergency Report!"

Zhu Youxiao glanced at the inner eunuch, saw that he was in a hurry, and knew something had happened in the Southwest, and immediately shouted: "Reward the three armies. At the beginning of the new year, give wine and meat to the soldiers to eat and drink!"

The three generals Zhou Yuji, Wang Dashan, and Han Yaowei immediately bowed down: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Leaving the barracks, Zhu Youxiao immediately shouted: "What happened to Southwest?!"

"Chengdu mansion is eight hundred miles away, the mob rebelled, and the King of Shu is missing!" the inner eunuch said tremblingly.

"What?!" Zhu Youxiao's face turned dark all of a sudden, he let out a cold snort and rode away, and the guards immediately followed behind, escorting the emperor towards the palace.

The little inner eunuch turned pale with fright, knelt on the ground and trembled, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, he had passed this level.

After riding back to the imperial city, Zhu Youxiao got off his horse and threw the whip to the eunuch beside him: "Decide my will, and call all the elders in the cabinet to come to the Hall of Martial Arts to meet me!"

The inner eunuch nodded immediately, and hurried to deliver the decree.

Soon, Zhang Haogu, Zhang Ruitu, Lu Xiangsheng, Huang Liji, and Qiao Yunsheng came to the cabinet together, and they saw Zhu Youxiao wearing an iron armor, a big horse and a golden sword, sitting on a dragon chair.

"My ministers, see your Majesty."

"You love yourselves."

Zhu Youxiao was still able to hold back his anger at this time, he pointed to the booklet on the table: "Wang Tiqian, I will remind you all of you."

Wang Tiqian picked up the excerpt and read aloud: "My minister Liu Liangyong, the magistrate of Chengdu, kowtowed to His Majesty. At the beginning of the 14th year of the Great Tomorrow, there were more than 50 mobs in three prefectures and three prefectures including Chengdu, Tongchuan, and Jiading. They openly rebelled and besieged Chengdu Mansion. The mob is huge, but in just a few days, it has already gathered more than [-] people!"

"The mob attacked Chengdu outrageously. Zhu Zhishu, the king of Shu, went out of the city at night to avoid disaster and was besieged by the mob. He disappeared at night."

After Wang Tiqian finished reading, he hurriedly stepped aside. Zhu Youxiao panted heavily, his eyes were a little red: "The mob rebelled, and the mob gathered more than 50 people in just a few days! What do you think?"

Huang Liji and Qiao Yunsheng looked at their noses and mouths, pretending to be clay sculptures and wooden statues.

But Zhang Ruitu and Lu Xiangsheng looked at me and I looked at you. Lu Xiangsheng stood up and said, "Your Majesty, since the new policy was promulgated, the great edict has been widely spread, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the world is peaceful. There must be something hidden about why the people suddenly rebelled. "

Zhu Youxiao looked at Lu Xiangsheng: "Elder Lu Ge means that there is a problem in Sichuan and Sichuan?"

Lu Xiangsheng nodded, but did not speak.

Zhu Youxiao suppressed his anger and nodded. It is impossible for the Chengdu government to believe that the mob rebelled. Will not take any chances.

50 people!

"Wei Banban." Zhu Youxiao regained his composure.

Wei Zhongxian hurried forward: "The servant is here."

"Go, go and check for me, and check the affairs of Sichuan and Shu for me. It's clear and clear. I want to know why the people rebelled and what happened in Sichuan and Shu." Zhu Youxiao's tone was very clear. Calm, but the killing intent in it made Wei Zhongxian shudder.

Wei Zhongxian quickly ran down to do some work. No one is more professional than their East Factory in terms of investigation information.

The court meeting was held the next day, Zhu Youxiao went to the court, and all civil and military officials knew about the major events that happened yesterday.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao came to the court, officials came out immediately: "Your Majesty, I have this report."

"50 mobs in Sichuan and Sichuan rebelled, shaking the southwest! Once the news spreads, the world will be in an uproar. I implore Your Majesty to deal with it with thunder!"

Immediately after the official finished speaking, the censor came out again: "Your Majesty, I agree with Lord Sun's opinion."

"The mob rebelled, what is the majesty of the court? In the southwest, there are troublesome people in the poor mountains and rivers. The chieftain and Shengmiao have been at odds with my Ming Dynasty. Now that there is a mob rebellion, it is inevitable that these chieftains and Shengmiao will move with the times. If the court cannot Putting down the chaos will cause chaos everywhere in the world!"

Listening to these people's words, Zhu Youxiao agreed with them in his heart.

Yes, 50 people rebelled, no matter what the reason, they have already rebelled!
To rebel is to slap Zhu Youxiao in the face, and to slap the court in the face!
I just said that the Ming Dynasty is peaceful and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but now there are 50 people rebelling. Does this mean that Zhu Youxiao is not good at governing the world, and that his apocalyptic prosperity is a joke?

With so many people rebelling, if it is not suppressed quickly, the entire Southwest will definitely be in chaos!
As an emperor, Zhu Youxiao's most important thing is the stability of the country. He can't just sit back and watch the chaos in the southwestern part of the Ming Dynasty, and he can't allow this to affect his Daming country and his plan to conquer the Liao Dynasty.

The rebellion of the people in the land of Sichuan and Shu, dispatched troops from Yunnan and Huguang, should be able to calm down in a month or so

After making up his mind, Zhu Youxiao asked, "What do you love dears think?"

Soon, many censors, civil and military officials came out to express their approval to send troops to suppress the rebellion. Obviously, they didn't care why the 50 people in the southwest rebelled. They only wanted to suppress these people who dared to rebel.

Seeing that the general trend is about to come true, Zhu Youxiao is ready to follow the trend, Lu Xiangsheng came out: "I disagree!"

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly: "What did Mr. Lu Ge say?"

Lu Xiangsheng saluted: "Return to Your Majesty, such remarks asking His Majesty to send troops quickly are really nonsense!"

"There is chaos in the southwest, and the people rebelled. Why did the people rebel? What is the reason? You don't care about it, you only want to suppress it. Is this the way to be a courtier?"

"What are 50 people in your eyes?"

"Your Majesty, it is easy to send troops to quell the chaos, but once the army is out, the land of Sichuan and Shu will be bleeding. How will the people of the world treat Your Majesty?"

Soon another person came out: "President Lu's humble position does not agree with this statement!"

"If the chaos in Sichuan and Shu is not settled quickly, all the people in the world will despise the court. Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, the father of all the people, and thunder, rain and dew are the grace of the king. Now the people in the southwest are rebelling, which is an act of disloyalty and filial piety. Your Majesty sends troops to quell the chaos, and all the people in the world will only worship him even more."

"If you just sit back and watch the mob become a disaster, and the whole southwest is in chaos, how will His Majesty deal with it? How will the people of the world view the imperial court? And how will all the nations of the world maintain awe of me, Daming?!"

"Your Majesty, the chaos in the Southwest must be quelled quickly, otherwise doubts will arise!"

Soon, the court was divided into two factions. One faction supported the rapid dispatch of troops to quell the chaos and eliminate the disaster in the southwest; , if it is said to be killed, it will be killed, and the whole Southwest will be relieved.

Those who support the rapid suppression of the rebellion are mainly based on the old party, while those who support investigating the reasons first are mainly based on the new party.

Zhu Youxiao keenly discovered that the ideas between the old party and the new party are completely opposite.

The old party supports the protection of the rights and interests of the existing dignitaries and gentry, and at the same time it also protects the imperial power. On this basis, there is nothing that cannot be sacrificed. 50 mobs rebelled?Just kill them. Anyway, if you kill 50 and there are so many more, killing a batch can make the world peaceful.

But the New Party believes that the people are the most important, the society is the second, and the king is the least. , The culprit should be found out to quell public anger.

The difference in ideas between the two sides made Zhu Youxiao feel vigilant. He looked at the officials of the new party who were fighting for reason, and then looked at the cabinet ministers standing in the forefront, the six ministers, Zhu Youxiao suddenly had a terrible idea : Now that 50 people are rebelling, these new parties can ignore the majesty of the royal family and the safety of the court for the sake of the people.

If there are millions of people rebelling, will these new parties really think that the emperor is not good enough, and they want to change the emperor to calm the anger of the people?

As soon as this idea came out, Zhu Youxiao suddenly shuddered. Looking at the officials of the two parties who were arguing endlessly, he suddenly felt a little tired: "That's it for today, I'm tired, and I'm leaving the court."

All the way back to the Hall of Martial Arts with a gloomy face, Zhu Youxiao didn't eat a few bites of the meal, obviously in a bad mood.

At the subsequent court meeting, the new party and the old party quarreled more fiercely over how to deal with the rebellious people in Sichuan and Shu, and some news about why the people in Sichuan and Shu rebelled also came out.

Among them are all kinds of news that Zhu Zhishu extorted violently, abused people's power, oppressed the people, and wantonly killed people, leading to the destruction of the people's families.

When the news came and some solid evidence was found, the officials of the New Party immediately stiffened:

"Your Majesty, the facts have been ascertained. It is not the people who want to rebel, but the king of Shu is blind and the people are desperate and forced to rebel. Your Majesty should implement a benevolent government to appease the people, so the people will definitely disperse."

The old party officials immediately retorted: "Why did the people rebel instead of suing the officials? Isn't it because they have rebelled? Your Majesty tolerated them this time, and next time if something goes against the wishes of these mobs, they will Won’t they continue to rebel?”

"If something doesn't go according to the wishes of these mobs, they can do whatever they want. How can the imperial court govern the world, and how can the local government graze one side?"

"Your Majesty, such acts of mobs are absolutely unforgivable, and must be severely punished to set the record straight and demonstrate the majesty of the court!"

New party officials immediately refuted:

"What can the common people do if they have nowhere to appeal and are desperate?"

"The bureaucrats of the Shu land were corrupt and broke the law. They oppressed the people together with the King of Shu. They extorted violent taxes. All kinds of exorbitant taxes are shocking. Looking at the Shu land, what is the original state of abundance like now? This is the government forcing the people to rebel. What is it to do with the people?"

"Your Majesty, how can you use the blood of the people to show the majesty of the court? The corrupt officials in Shu should be severely punished to correct the hearts of the world. This is the way to show the majesty of the court and your Majesty's benevolent government. Return to your heart."
