The Holy Emperor of Ming

Chapter 108 Immortality Tablet
Suddenly, Liu Tong's whole body twisted, and a look of pain distorted his face in an instant.

"Ah~!"

The shrill screams sounded as if he was enduring the most severe punishment in the world.

His body rolled on the ground in extreme pain.

"Eunuch Liu!" Zhang Fengfu was slightly surprised.

"Don't worry, Commander Zhang. He won't die. We will just give him the punishment he deserves." Liu Jin said with a smile.

With a wave of his hand, he sealed Liu Tong's mute point again, making it impossible for him to make any sound from his throat.

Zhang Fengfu was silent for a moment, but still didn't say much.

People like Liu Tong are not worth saying anything more about.

As long as you survive, you can be beheaded in front of the people.

Liu Jin smiled and looked at Liu Tong, who was currently in a dilemma of neither being able to live nor die. His smile became even colder and more vicious.

"Do you know why I come here to treat you like this?" Liu Jin spoke to Liu Tong, claiming that he had also changed.

Liu Tong rolled over in agony and couldn't even kowtow and beg for mercy.

Liu Jin didn't expect Liu Tong to answer, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said softly: "Since your Majesty was born, even the late emperor was reluctant to let your Majesty suffer any grievances.

There is no need to say more about our family and those who were slaves such as Cao Youxiang and Cao Zhengchun.

Your Majesty, even if you want the stars in the sky, we will find a way to make it happen.

I dare not and am unwilling to make Your Majesty unhappy."

His tone was gentle, with a hint of tenderness and warmth, but suddenly, his eyes became icy cold as if he wanted to cut Liu Tong into pieces.

“But you, a bastard, made His Majesty sad and guilty, and even apologized to the people.

I really wish you could neither live nor die.

You should be thankful that His Majesty is too merciful to behead you in public."

Liu Jin's voice was like a cold wind blowing from hell, and even Zhang Fengfu felt a chill.

"So I'm here. If I don't punish you a little bit, how can I dispel even a ten-thousandth of the hatred in my heart?

You are really lucky." Liu Jin said coldly.

Without staying any longer, Liu Jin said a few polite words to Zhang Fengfu and left.

Zhang Fengfu frowned slightly as he watched Liu Jin's receding back, feeling alert and vigilant.

As for Liu Jin's feelings towards Your Majesty, he believes it.

As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, he knew a lot of secrets. Since His Majesty was born, he grew up under the protection of Liu Jin and the other two.

It is impossible to say that there is no emotion.

But Liu Jin came here not only because of his feelings for Your Majesty, but also because he hated Liu Tong in his heart.

After all, Liu Tong caused Liu Jin to be greatly disappointed in the eyes of His Majesty.

Liu Jin's action shows that he is vindictive and cruel, and he will not even let a dying person go.

It is definitely not a good thing for such a person to be the eunuch who holds the seal of the Imperial Household Department.

Fortunately, your Majesty is powerful enough to suppress everything and does not tolerate any injustice, so Liu Jin cannot cause any major trouble.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Fengfu stopped thinking about it and got busy in high spirits.

He knew that once this was done, hundreds of thousands of people would benefit directly, and even more people would benefit to varying degrees.

It is also a deterrent to the many corrupt officials.

Your Majesty even dealt with his own slaves and eunuchs without hesitation, let alone others?
Also, this matter must be spread throughout the world as soon as possible so that all people in the world know that Your Majesty loves the people like your own children.

As for the possible loss of some dragon power, he felt that His Majesty was right.

Prestige is earned through fighting, and it is determined by the quality of life of the people of the Ming Dynasty.

Of course, in the propaganda, it is necessary to truthfully and emphatically state that His Majesty has done nothing wrong, and it is all the fault of the eunuchs who made mistakes.

Your Majesty is great, wise, brave, and dedicated to the people...

Let’s discuss this later and see how to promote it better?
In the capital city.

That night, the Jinyiwei made a big fuss, which naturally attracted the attention of countless people, and many people were frightened.

With so much attention, many people naturally got the news.

It should be that His Majesty took action against the eunuchs in the imperial farm.

This made many people feel relieved, which is good for them.

Then just watched silently.

During these two days, the people in the imperial farms felt numb, but also felt a sense of anticipation and fear.

The hope is that the eunuchs who managed and oppressed them, and their accomplices, were all arrested.

Fear is the worry that things will be worse in the future.

It was not until the third day after those people were captured that the eunuchs and accomplices whom they had feared in the past were taken to their village.

Along with them, there were donkey carts and horse carts that seemed to be filled with food.

The Jinyiwei, who looked very impressive at first glance, asked all the people in their village to gather together. Then a Jinyiwei man stood at the top and shouted:

"The Emperor, by the Mandate of Heaven, proclaims: The eunuchs in charge of the imperial farm and their hangers-on have killed and oppressed the people at will, killing 286 people and injuring many others.

I sentence them all to immediate execution.

From now on, all the people in the imperial farms only need to pay one-tenth of the grain produced from their land every year.

You don’t have to pay anything else. Anyone who makes you pay more should die.

In addition, every household in the imperial farm could receive ten shi of grain as compensation.

The families of the common people who were harmed by the eunuchs and hangers-on of the imperial farms would be exempted from paying grain for five years and would receive two hundred taels of silver as compensation.

I will pay for all medical expenses of the injured people, and compensate them with an additional 20 taels of silver for minor injuries and 50 taels of silver for serious injuries.

His Majesty also said to all the people in the imperial farm: I am sorry for making you suffer. I apologize to you and promise you that I will never let such a thing happen again and will never let anyone bully you again.

Admire this. "

After the imperial edict was read, all the imperial estates were completely silent.

The people's faces were filled with confusion and disbelief.

"Dad, is this really the emperor's decree? We only have to pay one-tenth of the grain every year, and we will be compensated with ten stone of grain?"

"Shut up, don't talk, how is that possible? You heard it wrong."

"Are all those eunuchs and evil people going to be killed?"

"The emperor apologizes to us. Did I hear it wrong?"

·····
After the silence, there were whispers of numbness, fear, and disbelief.

The Jinyiwei who watched smiled bitterly, but they could understand.

If they hadn't experienced it themselves, it would be hard for them to imagine it.

These most ordinary people, who were as lowly as mud, were actually apologized to and compensated by the wise and powerful emperor, who was unparalleled in the world, and the grain payment was required to be so low.

However, considering that it was their own Majesty, they felt that it was not so hard to believe.

Your Majesty is the best emperor ever!

"Identify his identity and behead him in public." The Jinyiwei ordered.

Until they saw with their own eyes the eunuchs and accomplices who had oppressed them in the past being beheaded.

Most of the people were dumbfounded before they dared to believe what they heard.

"Baby's father, the eunuch who beat you to death is dead, dead!"

"Fuck, the emperor finally gave us justice, woo woo..."

····
Some people burst into tears immediately, and the rest were equally happy. A glimmer of hope that they had never dared to hope for before rose on their numb faces.

"Sir, do we really only need to pay one-tenth of the grain from now on?"

People in many places were afraid and couldn't help but ask.

"It's all true. The imperial edict issued by His Majesty the Emperor is all true.

From now on, all families only need to pay one-tenth of the grain produced from the land they cultivate.

You don’t need to pay any other food.

Now, I will call out the names, and those whose names are called will come up to receive compensation, starting with those whose family members have been persecuted.

Wangjia Village, Li Dagou’s family, father Li Sanlu, mother Wang Hua...”

Then, the families of the persecuted people went up to receive the real compensation money and the food they had received.

Only then did all the people completely believe that what they heard was true.

Those numb faces seemed to come back to life.

Most people burst into tears on the spot.

"She can survive. She can survive. Baby's mother, we won't sell Erwa or Dani anymore. We won't sell them anymore."

"The emperor is a good man, he is the emperor! We will redeem Sanya when we return."

"There really is food! The emperor is a living Buddha!"

"Ten shi of grain! Ten shi of grain. I have never seen so much grain before."

"Mom, we have food. We will have food in the future. You don't have to go to the mountains anymore."

"Let's go back and set up a longevity tablet for the emperor, and wish him eternal life."

"it is good."

····
Hundreds of thousands of people were crying and the noise was chaotic.

The thousands of Jinyiwei and some soldiers who followed them did not find it noisy or irritating, which was unusual.

Except for a very few, everyone felt a sense of pride and stood up straighter.

I haven't felt tired at all in these two busy days.

"Brother, I think it's great to be a Jinyiwei." A young Jinyiwei said with a proud smile.

"Yes." The Jinyiwei, who was a few years older and more mature, wearing Feiyu uniform, smiled and looked at the crying people, and said with emotion: "They are very lucky, because they met an unprecedented good emperor.

So do we. ”

"Yes." The young Jinyiwei nodded heavily.

"Deputy Captain Qinglong, the commander has ordered that all Jinyiwei in various places pay attention.

The people of the imperial farm have just gained a fortune, which may arouse covetousness. "At this time, a Jinyiwei came running and whispered.

The deputy captain named Qinglong looked slightly serious and nodded.

"Brother, this is the imperial farm, and it was granted by His Majesty himself. Who would dare to be so bold as to have any evil intentions?" The young Jinyiwei who heard the words said in disbelief.

"It's always better to be careful. After we leave, we will leave one brother to watch over each village in turn."

"clear."

····
On that day, hundreds of thousands of people and more than 100,000 families in the imperial farm were crying and laughing.

It's like being reborn.

The suppressed and numb expression was gone, replaced by genuine joy.

Overnight, almost every household offered the emperor's longevity tablet.

Almost the entire northern Zhili was caught up in all kinds of envy, jealousy and complicated emotions.
