People gathered outside the Forbidden City.
The emperor's court meeting was held at the south gate of the Forbidden City.
All the officials were stunned.
Everyone heard that a group of merchants from Shanxi had been invited to Northern Zhili.
Even if the emperor valued him, there was no need to treat him like a scholar, right?
In front of the Forbidden City, all the officials shouted long live, followed by the people outside.
Although they could only see Zhu Youtang's back from afar.
However, this could be considered as meeting the emperor. After this, he would leave it for his descendants to brag about.
Zhu Youtang sat on the dragon chair with neither sadness nor joy. Beside him, the Jinyiwei held a yellow umbrella canopy, and the East Chamber barbarians heavily guarded Zhu Youtang.
After all, they were not in the palace. If the emperor was threatened, the Brocade Guard and the East Chamber would not be able to survive.
Zhu Youtang looked at the three people kneeling in front of him and narrowed his eyes."Let me introduce you to three commoners.”
Liu Jian hurriedly stepped forward and pointed at the three kneeling in front of him."Your Majesty, this is the Fan family of the Xuan Mansion, the Huang family of Shanxi, and the Wang family of Zhili.”
Zhu Youtang nodded and said," Tell me, what are your names?"”
The three of them hurriedly kowtowed and said in fear,"I dare not." I'm afraid my humble name will disgrace the emperor's hearing."
Although he looked terrified, he was happy in his heart.
The emperor personally asked for his name, he would have a lot to sigh about in the future. In the past hundred years, who else could it be other than Shen Wansan? Other than a few men, there was no one else!
Zhu Youtang took you to nod: " Yes, I dare not. What are you afraid of? You sell weapons, grain, and Tartars to kill the people of Ming. What do you all not dare to do?"
At the end of the speech, Zhu Youtang's voice and tone were clear.
When the three of them heard that, they were so scared that they peed and shit on the spot.
Now that the Emperor had suddenly given this order, even if there were people in the Imperial Court, no one would come out to seek death.
"Your Majesty," cried Madam Fan,"I've been wronged, Your Majesty!"”
"Wronged?" Zhu Youtang said indifferently. You are selling supplies and smuggling iron and grain. Have I wronged you?”
"Your Majesty, we are all honest businessmen!" Madam Wang immediately cried out miserably. We're all doing business according to the rules! If you kill us, who else will be willing to carry out the Kai Fa in the future, Your Majesty!？”
Zhu Youtang said angrily,"Open the law?!" Did Kai Fa ask you to sell border intelligence to the barbarians? Even gunpowder and firearms are smuggled, right?
If I don't punish you, how can I face the millions of soldiers and civilians who died because of you?!”
After saying that.
Zhu Youtang said to his side,"Mou Bin, post the evidence of the three's crimes outside the Forbidden City, when they came out of the pass, and who they met!"”
"Men!"
"Go to Shanxi and seal up the three families 'homes. All personnel are not allowed to leave!”
After giving out all the instructions, Zhu Youtang looked up at the three people who were kneeling on the ground and said with a sneer,""I will give you all a chance. If you can walk out of the Forbidden City now, I will not ask about your life or death.”
"Let them out of the city!"
When the three clans heard this, their faces twitched and they almost fainted.
They couldn't admit to this crime, and they couldn't go down to the Forbidden City.
Lady Fan hurriedly shouted at the top of her lungs,"Your Majesty, this commoner is wronged, wronged!”
He still wanted to quibble even when he was about to die.
Wynne held the evidence of the three people's treason and read out each word.
Every time he read a sentence, someone from the East Wing would repeat it with a sharp voice.
The commoners heard it clearly.
A commotion began below the city.
Someone cried out,"You damned things, you can't deceive the Emperor!" My poor son died in the hands of Slave Jian! Why are you people so inhumane!”
When the commoners heard this, there was an uproar. Many of them shouted,"Kill these traitors!"
"Wouldn't it be too easy for them if we kill them in one strike?" someone else said. You should be cut into pieces!"
The three of them were ashen. In the end, they quibbled,"Your Majesty, doing business with the Great Ming is also doing business with the Tartars and the Wala, what's the difference? What Great Ming and Tartar?"
Zhu Youtang was expressionless." Yes, business has no borders. Do you businessmen have borders?" Are you Tartars or citizens of Ming?
You were born and raised in the Ming Dynasty! Are you protected by the Great Ming soldiers or the Tartar soldiers? But now, they were earning money from Great Ming to let the Tartars slaughter the people of Great Ming! Is this what you call having no borders?”
Zhu Youtang's every word was powerful.
The people below the stage were extremely quiet. When Zhu Youtang finished speaking, thunderous applause suddenly sounded.
Some of them had tears in their eyes.
For the sake of those young faces who guarded the territory. Those children and grandchildren that he would never see again.
Zhu Youtang didn't waste his breath." Take him away!”
The three of them looked extremely terrified, and their bodies began to tremble.
They knew what would happen to them once they left the Forbidden City.
" Your Majesty, please spare my life! Spare my life!"
The voices grew weaker and weaker as they were slowly pushed out of the Forbidden City. Then, the people surrounded them.
The commoners 'faces were ferocious, as if they were eating people.
Immediately after.
Someone stepped forward and kicked him.
Immediately after.
Someone took out a dagger and cut off a piece of meat, immediately eating it.
All kinds of strange faces appeared.
Shrill screams rose into the sky outside the Forbidden City.
All the officials were silent as they looked at Zhu Youtang in silence.
The Third Cabinet Elder was ecstatic!
His Majesty boiled the frogs in warm water and subdued the three of them without any violence.
He didn't even use his own knife to kill people. He used the hands of the people to punish the three great evils in a righteous manner.
Tian Zi's method caused the inner cabinet to gasp.
This way, the new law in the north would be implemented again without any obstruction.
Zhu Youtang had already returned to the palace.
The bloody aura outside the Forbidden City had not subsided yet.
All the officials were in awe of Zhu Youtang.
The commoners of Great Ming respected this young emperor to the bone.
As for the families of these people, the East Chamber and the Jinyiwei would take care of them.
The cabinet would not let them off.
The families of those who were raided were raided, and the families of those who were exterminated were exterminated.
Under the intimidation of this violence, the One Whip Technique gradually spread throughout the north and south, and the resistance became smaller and smaller.
