Reborn Ming Dynasty as Emperor

Chapter 391
Li Jiantai is not unaware of the fact that the imperial court has always been in a state of high pressure on the big gentry and big businessmen who control the vast majority of wealth.

But people always like to numb themselves, and habitually start to get used to comfort because of the relief of the crisis, and this is the case with Li Jiantai and others. Three indiscriminate means can frighten Zhu Youxiao and the officials trusted by Zhu Youxiao.

Of course, in this era, it is impossible for any outstanding official to pose such a strong challenge to the emperor Zhu Youxiao. After all, not everyone can become a figure like Yang Tinghe and Zhang Juzheng.

And Li Jiantai is naturally even more incapable. You must know that in the 17th year of Chongzhen in the original history, this naive guy asked Ying out of Beijing to defend against the enemy because he was full of confidence to return to Shanxi to help Emperor Chongzhen repel Li Zicheng.

Unexpectedly, this Li Jiantai realized Li Zicheng's strength not long after he left the capital, and was so frightened that he huddled in the Hejian Mansion and dared not move forward, and finally shamelessly asked to take the prince to flee to the south.

And now Li Jiantai is also so conceited and stupid, he poured the wine confidently, and proudly offered a glass of wine to Li Yongqing, Yong'anbo who was opposite him: "Please relax for the time being, Lord Li, the imperial court can't find us It came from the head, but Xiong Wencan and Shang Zhouzuo were really lucky, we arranged so carefully, they didn't die."

"That's why they should die. However, Li Jijiu, in my opinion, why don't we stop? This is really not fun. Now the whole capital is visited by people from Dongchang. It is said that from Baoding to Fengyang is also the same, the wind is a little tight, if there is a slight mistake, it will be bad."

Li Yongqing said.

Li Jiantai also had some guts to take advantage of the wine, and chuckled disdainfully: "The imperial court, hehe, what is the imperial court, the big deal is that this head fell to the ground, and they took away two-thirds of the wealth of the scholar-bureaucrats in the world." , What is the purpose of our ten years of poverty, isn't it for glory and wealth, but now we are talking about the great Ming Dynasty, the country is his Zhu family's business, what has it to do with us!"

After Li Jiantai complained, he began to compose poems again, but just when he was in high spirits, there was already a sound of commotion in the front yard.

Yong'an Bo Li Yongqing was the first to discover the abnormality, and said: "Li Jijiu, your front yard is on fire." Li Jiantai looked back, but the sky in the front yard was glowing red, and he couldn't help but pause god.

At this time, Dongchang fanzi wearing knives suddenly entered through the corner gate of the front yard, and the next batch of Dongchang fanzi immediately beheaded the people in Li's house when they saw them.

Immediately, a cloud of blood splashed in front of Li Jiantai, Li Jiantai also sobered up a lot because of this, and couldn't help but feel terrified, and hurriedly shouted: "You, what are you doing? Why did you break into my private house and kill me without authorization?" family!"

Liu Ruyu, who was wearing a boa robe and a red tasseled hat, stood up at this moment, put his hands into his sleeves, and shouted loudly: "According to the decree, it has been verified that Li Jiantai, the Guozijian sacrificial wine, conspired to frame the pillars of the court. , as an example to others!"

Li Jiantai was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but Yong'anbo Li Yongqing passed out first.

After being stunned for a moment, Li Jiantai burst into laughter instead. No one knew what he was laughing at, and he didn't wait for someone from the East Factory to come and kill him, so he slammed into the wooden pillar, but he didn't hit it. He stopped halfway, and then wept helplessly.

Seeing this, Liu Ruyu couldn't help but shook his head, thinking that what His Majesty said today is right, these civil servants are not as good as one generation after another, not to mention their abilities, and even their integrity is not as good as Chenghua Zhengde's years, and they don't even have the courage to commit suicide. Not a single pillar dared to hit it.

However, this is also good. For Liu Ruyu, this will save a lot of trouble, and he can just use Li Jiantai's clue to continue to explore.

"Li Jiantai's life will be saved for the time being, and none of the other family members will be kept. All documents and documents in his mansion will be sealed up, and those who come and go with him will be strictly inspected!"

After Liu Ruyu said that, he came to Li Jiantai, and suddenly found that Uncle Yongning Li Yongqing was also lying here, so he couldn't help asking in surprise: "Hey, why is Lord Li here, take him down, and the next morning Report to His Majesty!"

As soon as the Dongchang fan mentioned Yongning Bo Li Yongqing, this Yongning Bo Li Yongqing suddenly woke up, crying and howling: "I am wronged, I am wronged, Eunuch Liu, please tell your majesty, my minister is really wronged. Well, the Weichen listened to Li Jiantai's instigation, saying that as long as a few heads were lost, Southeast would remain the same and he could still make money, but the Zheng family was replaced by the Li family, but the Weichen really didn't dare to plan to murder The court ordered the officer!"

Liu Ruyu saw that Uncle Yong'an and Li Yongqing were crying so miserably, so he couldn't say anything harsher, so he could only persuade him: "Don't worry, I will convey your words to His Majesty as it is, but since you are here now, it is not One or two sentences can make it clear, you go back to our East Police Department for a few days, if it is really found that it has nothing to do with you, we will let you go back home."

Hearing what Liu Ruyu said, this Yong'an Bo Li Yongqing refused, and struggled to leave: "No, I can't go to the Dongji Incident Factory with you. If I go there, I won't come back alive. Let me go, let me go!" How about I, I can give you a lot of silver, I can give you a lot of silver!"

Seeing this, Liu Ruyu couldn't help feeling very annoyed, so he simply slapped Yong'an Bo unconscious, and ordered: "Press it down!"

Early in the morning of the second day, Zhu Youxiao learned that Li Jiantai was captured, his family members were killed in his mansion, and Yong Anbo also appeared in Li Jiantai's mansion and was escorted into Dongchang.

"Now is an extraordinary time. We should use extraordinary methods. You don't need to care about the status of these people. They will all be interrogated strictly. No matter how high their official position or power is, they will be arrested first and then tried. I want to see, How deep is the water here?"

Zhu Youxiao resolutely issued such an order, and then ordered Yang Sichang, the left servant of the Ministry of War, to say: "Pass down my will, mobilize the third army of the Imperial Guards to enter the capital and strengthen patrols in the city to prevent changes."

Yang Sichang had no choice but to take the order to go, and he also felt that His Majesty had murderous intentions and wanted to clean it up again so that he could reintegrate his forces and lay the foundation for the next extermination of the slaves in the north and the attack on the Raksha Kingdom. So as not to fall into a situation of internal and external troubles at that time.

The emperor was angry and laid down millions of corpses. Although Zhu Youxiao only talked about it, he decided the lives and deaths of countless people overnight. As soon as the violent state machine of Ming Dynasty started to operate, the entire capital city fell into a horrific atmosphere. In China, not only the capital city, but also Dongchang, which was originally dormant in other areas, has also become active.
