People in the Ming Dynasty are lawless

Chapter 425: Set fire to the imperial envoy! How brave! !
King Lu was also willing to take risks at this time. Anyway, it was just a knife to extend his head, and it was also a knife to shrink his head.

Although he talks about Chen Han, what can he do? I am a prince, I am the emperor's biological son, I am a prince, who dares to do anything to me.

But I was still worried.

Who is Chen Han?

Other princes may not have a deep understanding of it, but on the ground in Shandong, he could clearly remember what Chen Han did to the Kong family at that time.

Even though the Confucius family does not have the blood of an emperor like him, there is a saying among the people that the Confucius family is built with iron, and the dynasty is built with flowing water.

The Kong family has been able to take root in this place for so many years not only by kneeling on the ground and licking various dynasties, but also by praising whichever dynasty comes over.

It is because they are the foundation of scholars.

The reason why scholars have been able to have a prominent academic status since the Han Dynasty. From then on, reading a few books by sages can change their class, becoming a farmer in the morning, and ascending to the emperor's hall in the evening.

Just because Confucianism is now used in examinations and governance.

Those landowners who had accumulated large amounts of land from generation to generation and cultivated scholars to speak for themselves, thus gaining immunity, were treated badly by Chen Han.

Even the Kong family members who had been dead for many years and turned into bones were pulled out and whipped.

But even for such a family, they still cannot escape the fate of being abused by Chen Han.

Therefore, it further proves that Chen Han is extraordinary, and it also proves that if you want to deal with Chen Han at this time, you must complete the battle and give Chen Han a chance to escape, then they will be the ones who die.

Even if one of Chen Han's accomplices was indeed killed at the beginning, Chen Han's status was still not shaken.

As a result, he made great achievements and was awarded the title of Duke.

How many people were secretly trying to impeach him, and how many people also thought about assassinating Chen Han.

The old man is so harsh. If this really breaks out, I might have to lose my head before the lawsuit goes to the old man.

In the past two or three years, Chen Han's position has become more and more stable.

But isn’t Chen Han still standing?

So although King Lu seems to be careless now, in fact, it is all a sign of cowardice.

Even though Chen Han was disgusted by these pomps, as an imperial envoy and a prince, it was difficult for him to change this situation, so he could only allow these people to welcome him with great fanfare.

……

It can be seen from here that Chen Han is a person who does not follow the rules and does not bother to follow them. He is good at breaking the rules.

At this time, after Chen Han slowly set off from the south and entered Shandong, officials along the way greeted him for more than ten miles.

As a scholar, it is a great blessing to receive such military honors.

Mrs. Tang looked at her husband with some fear. What they had done over the years was not just eating more and taking more possessions, but also hurting dozens of children. If a lawsuit over these lives were to start, it would be very troublesome.

At the same time, Chen Han really didn't take this No. 4 seriously. Apart from using his authority to oppress the people around his mansion, what else could this King of Lu do?

Even Chen Han not only made great achievements in reform, but even the little Japanese devils in the east were captured by the troops led by Chen Han.

It can be seen that if we save the Kong family, we will save the millennium foundation of scholars like them.

The reform of spreading one person's share to one's own acres has caused many wealthy families in the world to suffer from poverty.

Therefore, Chen Han did not take them seriously, and this time he wanted to tell the whole of Shandong and even the whole world that even if the prince broke the law, in front of me, the minister of reform, he would have to pay the price with his life, and it would be absolutely impossible to escape.

Once this signal is released, will the vassal kings still dare to resist the tax?
Do they still dare to be so arrogant?

Absolutely not.

So even if he knew that they would be on guard with such a big fanfare, Chen Han didn't care. He just wanted to make a big fanfare and let everyone know that even if these princes were on guard, they would be destroyed in front of him.

Chen Han's departure this time was not like before, with just a few dozen followers.

This time, Chen Han brought a hundred masters of Jin Yiwei to guard him throughout the whole process.

And what everyone brought was an advanced gun.

Firearms are currently only popular in the military, and have not yet spread to all guards. Therefore, Chen Han is showing mercy to those young people in Shandong Province. If you can carry it, If you want to keep the musket, you can come.

He was at the post house at this time, and Chen Han, who was guarded by the Jinyi guards, was staying at the post house.

The officials of the post house were very familiar with Chen Han's name, and they were very cautious in serving him. However, when someone saw the look in their eyes, they would suddenly dodge.

This has to be said about doing bad things, and sometimes it is really difficult to escape your own heart.

Especially when faced with someone like Chen Han who held great power and could kill hundreds of people with just one order, they were even more frightened.

It doesn't matter if he dies, the most important thing is that he still has his wife, children and children. This is the reason why they can't let go.

So even at this time, they have done a good job and have restrained themselves very well without showing any flaws.

But their eyes still didn't completely cover them up. As for their purpose, even if Chen Han knew it, he didn't say much.

He poured the tea brought from the post house onto the ground and asked Jin Yiwei to pour out the tea he brought from the capital and take a sip. It was a bit cold.

Yes, after more than ten days along the way, there is no way it is not cold.

Chen Han looked out the window. Outside the window, it was raining lightly, washing away the dust on the leaves bit by bit. At this time, the birds were chirping on the trees.

If you feel a little irritable, you will feel noisy and uncomfortable.

But Chen Han felt very peaceful listening to the sound of rain and the chirping of birds.

The Jin Yiwei next to him was a little apologetic: "My lord, when you get to this place, you don't even have a mouthful of hot water. It's really hard on you. You have a high and powerful position, but you have to endure such difficulties. It's really helpless."

Chen Han waved his hand and said, "It's already starting to rain. What else do we have to complain about?" Jin Yiwei was puzzled.

Chen Han said to himself, "The reason why this day is gloomy is because there are dark clouds gathering in the sky. Once an opportunity comes, it will rain. But you have to understand that once it stops raining, the clouds will clear and the fog will clear." , the earth will be bright again. It will be bright after it rains."

Jin Yiwei listened to Chen Han's words like a riddle, and then suddenly realized.

I thought to myself: Yes, in Shandong, isn't King Lu just the dark cloud? It has been suppressing the common people, and now Chen Han and the others are here. Although it will rain, the ground will be muddy, and the river will flood, but after these things pass, the sky will clear up after the rain, and the sun will eventually shine on the earth. .

Jin Yiwei was even murmuring in his heart: Do the big shots nowadays speak in such a cloudy and foggy way? You have to guess what it means?

The reason why Chen Han speaks like this is not to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf, but to truly feel that after you have a high position and power, every word you say may be overly misinterpreted, so you must be careful with your words and deeds, and consider every word. Keep talking, otherwise you might be caught.

Although he holds great power now, as the saying goes, one emperor and one courtier, how many veterans who have contributed to the previous dynasty cooperated quite well when they were alive, or when the emperor who supported his reforms and supported his actions was alive. Okay, but once the emperor gives up, that may not be the case after the new emperor ascends the throne.

So this is the reason why many new emperors in this world like to get rid of the elders of the three dynasties after they come up.

Therefore, Chen Han sometimes felt like walking on thin ice, especially when he was a minister under an emperor like Zhu Yuanzhang, which was even more difficult.

Chen Han didn't want to be Zhu Yuanzhang's dog. He just wanted to use what he had at his disposal to try his best to change the family, country and world created by Zhu Yuanzhang. This was going against Zhu Yuanzhang.

For example, asking him to establish the prime minister was a huge risk.

Chen Han respected the old man in his heart. He was the emperor of the ages, but he was very disgusted with his policies and his treatment of his descendants, so he had to take drastic measures.

Whether the Jin Yiwei around him would record what he said and what he did, and then store it in files so that he could settle accounts later, he couldn't figure it out one by one, so he could only be cautious.

After hearing what Chen Han said, Jin Yiwei whispered in Chen Han's ear, "There seems to be something wrong with the Cheng of the post, Duke Guo."

In fact, Chen Han noticed something was wrong with the Yi Cheng from the moment he entered the hotel. His eyes were averted. This was just a small problem.

After all, he is an imperial envoy from the capital, and in Shandong area, he can be said to be famous or vicious, so it is normal to be afraid of himself.

But what's abnormal is that everyone is like this, as if they have finalized something big.

The only thing he could think of was that King Lu sent them to kill him.

Killing imperial envoys has always been a serious crime in the past dynasties, but killing imperial envoys is not uncommon.

After all, the death of the imperial envoy will bring a bit of shock, but in any era, evidence must be paid attention to. Local snakes still have some power in the local area, and they will never let you easily break through their confinement.

Therefore, as long as the risk and reward of killing the imperial envoy can be directly proportional, it will be feasible. King Lu probably thought in his heart that it was a desperate move anyway. If you want me to die, I will not make it easy for you.

Chen Han lit the table and looked at the drizzle outside the window: "Then be cautious and tell the brothers not to eat or drink the food they brought."

"Ok!"

Jin Yiwei said again: "My lord, would you like to move to another room? Those guys are not good people."

Chen Han shook his head: "We are in the light and they are in the dark. If we change rooms, doesn't that mean we directly tell them that we have discovered what they are going to do? Then will they still do it? Then we can dig them out?"

"Are you going to risk your life?" Jin Yiwei was very disappointed.

"This doesn't mean risking one's life, this means catching them in action. Okay, go to sleep. I'm tired too and need to rest."

Jin Yiwei was stunned for a moment, and then saw a note handed over by Chen Han. After reading it, Jin Yiwei's frown immediately relaxed, and then he bowed and left the room.

That night, I don’t know who shouted.

"Fire!"

"Go away!"

"Get up quickly, you're in trouble!"

It turned out that the entire hotel suddenly burst into flames.

The fire shot into the sky and burned the entire post to the ground in an instant. Yi Cheng and his postmen stood outside the post, looking at the raging fire, he sighed, "I don't know. How long can we hide the burning of the imperial envoy?"

The postmaster sighed, "Everything that needs to be explained has been explained. His Highness clearly told us that if we do such a thing, we will have to flee to the end of the world. However, each of our family members will receive a settlement allowance of one thousand two hundred silver." , our children will also have a good future under the protection of His Highness."

"Brothers, as I said before, we are useless, and our children will still be useless if they follow us. Why not follow His Highness and work hard for our children and our family? That is the responsibility we should fulfill as men."

After these words came out, the postmen below felt a little calmer.

"Okay, let's go. We have tied the horses in the grove, fed them with enough fodder, and drank enough water. There are two horses per person. We will leave Shandong tonight. I am going to Liaodong. , I wonder what your plans are, brothers?"

The other postmen looked at each other and said, "Since you appreciate us so much and we can do something like this together, I am willing to follow you to Liaodong."

"I heard that the land is vast and sparsely populated. Scattering a handful of us on that land is the same as throwing a handful of sand into the sea. I don't expect them to find us."

Another postman said, "Are they all dead?"

A postman replied, "Both the food and the drinks are filled with Mongolian sweat medicine. The Mongolian sweat medicine is about the size of a fingernail and can be placed on four or five big men. Although those people are practitioners, they can't withstand these Mongolian sweat medicines. Don't worry. It must be so burned that you can’t even scream if you don’t hear it? When the officials come the next day, they will only see the piles of charred corpses.”

Yi Cheng waved his hand: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's set off."

The seven people walked directly from the fire to the woods to the east.

That was the place where they parked their horses. However, when they got there, they found something strange. Apparently a postman had put a handful of fodder before setting the fire. The horses were parked there, but now they were gone.

Seeing this scene, Yi Cheng secretly said: It's broken!

Just when he was about to shout and run away, there was a bang, bang, bang, and the sound of musketry coming from the woods.

Then a ghostly voice came from the dark woods: "I don't believe it, you guys can run faster than muskets."

These words are like the coldness coming from hell, and they carry an irresistible force...
