Chapter 482: Don't Waste Food
"Jin Yiwei handles the case, and on the orders of the saint, arrest the criminal Chen Yanzuo, and those who resist will be killed!" Liang Ke, the official of the Jinyi Guard, looked at the Hou Mansion and showed his token, and said loudly.
Jinyiwei came at least one hundred households and all of them were fully armed, where did the Hou Mansion family see this formation, and they panicked for a moment and did not dare to step forward.
"Still stunned, enter the house and take people!" Liang Kewang gave an order, and Jinyiwei was about to rush in.
"Presumptuous! I am the Duke of Wei in the Ming Dynasty, who instructed you to dare to trespass into the Mansion of the Marquis of Taining? Taining waited for Chen Yanzuo before he squeaked, but Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, came out and shouted first.
He has this confidence, Wei Guogong inherited Xu Da, the king of Zhongshan, and was the top nobleman in the three hundred years of the Ming Dynasty.
"That's right, the province went to the Guogong Mansion for a trip and took it all!" Liang Kewang was unmoved, and his heart was still trouble-free, he saw the bloody battle of the border army outside the pass, and he had no good impression of these nobles who only knew pleasure.
"This lord, the imperial court should have an explanation for arresting the marquis of the dynasty, dare to ask me what Chen Yanzuo has done?" Chen Yanzuo stepped forward with a gloomy face.
"Let you die, Li Er, read it to him!" Liang Kewang turned around and said to a subordinate behind him.
"After investigation, in May of the eighth year of Chongzhen, Chen Yanzuo, Marquis of Taining, forcibly confiscated 28 hectares of fertile land in Huangcun, Changping, causing the people of Huangcun to be displaced!
In December of the tenth year of Chongzhen, Chen Yanzuo, the Marquis of Taining, rewarded Guo Youde, the owner of Guo Ji Grain Store in the capital, to be disabled, and robbed Guo's daughter, causing him to commit suicide by hanging from the beam!
In the spring of the fourteenth year of Chongzhen, the Marquis of Taining forced Liang to become a prostitute......
……”
The document that Li was holding in the second hand was a long time, and as he read it, Chen Yanzuo's face became worse and worse.
"Don't read it." Chen Yanzuo's voice trembled a little, he understood everything, this was a premeditated plan, and Chongzhen had already calculated it.
Now he doesn't care about those crimes anymore, if you talk about these pickled things, don't talk about the capital, how many nobles in Daming are clean under their hands?
"I am willing to give all my family property in exchange for the forgiveness of God." Chen Yanzuo bent down and saluted.
Since this matter was opened by the emperor, whether these crimes are true or false, whether they are true or false, his biggest mistake is to underestimate Chongzhen's courage.
And now the only way is to admit his mistake and pray that Chongzhen can remember the merits of his ancestors and open up to him.
"It's late! Take it and take it to prison! Liang Kewang has time to help him spread the word, and there are only a dozen lists in his hands today.
"You...... Licentious! The prince of the country wants to see the emperor! Xu Yunjue saw Chen Yanzuo surrendering his hand, he knew that something was wrong, and his face had already become hideous in a panic.
"The emperor doesn't have time to see you, take it!" Liang Kewang didn't even read out his crimes, and it is not an exaggeration to describe this pickled matter under Xu Yunjue's hands.
……
It is another day of wailing in the whole city, from last year to now, in more than a year, the civil and military forces in the capital have been repaired three times.
The first time it was a Wenchen, the second time it was a Wenchen, and this time it was all the nobles.
Chongzhen's appetite is not small, and in just one day, as many as one hundred and twenty-eight nobles were arrested in the capital, including those who served in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies.
The most unlucky is Xu Yunjue, the Duke of Wei, who originally just came to the capital from Nanjing to settle accounts, but accidentally bumped into the muzzle of the gun.
Dongchang and Jinyiwei jointly dispatched, the Jingying army waited for the day, and Liu Hong gradually worked in the Jinyiwei Yamen until dark, which was considered to have solved the chaos in the city.
"My lord, it's been a busy day, let's eat some food." Liang Yang beckoned and motioned for his subordinates to bring a few side dishes.
"Alas, I don't have time, Lao Liang, you eat first, and this king has to go to the palace." The uncle in the palace is still waiting for him to report to work, and he said that he has to go to the kitchen after a busy day.
"Oh, by the way, don't get used to the captured nobles, give these nobles whatever food they eat on weekdays in the edict, don't waste food." Walking to the door, Liu Honggradually turned around and said.
"Obedience!" The corners of Liang Yang's mouth and beard curled, and he didn't eat the food and dogs in the prison.
Qianqing Palace, Warm Pavilion.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the night was already cool, Chongzhen stood in front of the window in his regular clothes, looking at the sky for a round and a half moon, and didn't know what to think.
"Emperor, the food is going to be cold, it's time for you to eat." Wang Erxi was on duty beside Chongzhen, and Wen Yan said with concern.
"I'm not hungry, let's remove the imperial meal." Chongzhen didn't reply and said in a deep voice.
From the moment he decided to attack Xungui, Chongzhen knew that he, the emperor, would definitely be notorious.
Wenchen, military generals, and Xun Qi clan, he offended the foundation of the Ming Dynasty, and the reputation he had earned conscientiously and carefully in the past 18 years was gone, and this discomfort was only clear to Chongzhen himself.
"Why do you want to remove it, Zi once said, waste is the biggest crime!" A voice suddenly came from outside the hall, who else could it be if it wasn't Liu Hongji?
"Minister Liu Hong has gradually seen the emperor." As soon as he entered the door, Liu Hong gradually put away his jokes.
"Youming, what's going on outside the palace?" Chongzhen saw Liu Hong gradually coming, and immediately left the pain in his heart and waved his hand to signal Liu Hong to gradually avoid courtesy.
"It's good outside the palace, how dare those nobles be presumptuous in the capital, the emperor is too worried, you are not in good health, how can you not even eat." Liu Hong gradually walked to Chongzhen's side, and couldn't help but say, and helped Chongzhen to the table to eat.
He was also hungry, and while eating, he briefly told Chongzhen about the situation outside the palace.
The first battle in the capital was particularly beautiful, firstly, Liu Hongjian did not give the capital's lords time to react at all, and secondly, the capital was full of Jinyiwei and Dongchang's eyeliner, and the city defense army was all the original team that had participated in the Northern Expedition.
These people didn't say anything about their combat strength or loyalty, and no matter how bold those nobles were, they definitely didn't dare to resist arrest and resist in the capital.
"Why is the emperor still so sullen, do you know how many taels of silver have been filled for the treasury by these nobles arrested today?" Liu Hong gradually said while eating.
Chongzhen still didn't say anything.
"According to a rough estimate, we can get eight or nine million taels in the capital alone, not counting the acres of land, shops, mansions and other real estate in the homes of these nobles, and the specific number will take at least five days to be counted."
Xungui is not the same as Wenchen, Wenchen's main means is to embezzle, bribe and take silver, even if he buys family property, most of them are entrusted to the children of the family, and he does not dare to be too presumptuous.
But Xungui is different, this group of people rely on the emperor's grace, which family does not have hundreds of hectares of fertile land and more than ten shops are embarrassed to say it, but there is not so much money in the family, because it is all released for investment.
"Your Majesty, are you worried about infamy after a hundred years?" Seeing that Chongzhen was still depressed, Liu Hong gradually put down the chopsticks in his hand.
