Chapter 529: The Violent Emperor

Emperor Tianqi got off the imperial carriage and glanced at Tian Ergeng and others.

He was in great spirits at this time.

Mr. Lushan is the most important figure in the current imperial case. As long as he takes down this person, everything will be revealed.

Emperor Tianqi was at his age when he was the strongest curiosity. Now he heard that he had taken it and asked him to see him. Not only did he not feel offended, but he was excited and novel.

Therefore, he rushed over.

Emperor Tianqi said: "All the ministers, please be calm. This time, you have made great contributions, so why are you guilty?"

Tian Ergeng suddenly felt energetic, and he said with great energy: "Your Majesty... This mere contribution is nothing. It is all thanks to Your Majesty's blessing, and it is also thanks to Eunuch Wei, who is a planner. If he had not taught his ministers frequently, he would have been a factory guard or a ox, and he would have been a word of diligence... "

"Okay, okay, I now know that you have made contributions, you are diligent, and your godfather, Wei Baobao, taught you the principles of being a human being. You learned all this from Wei Baobao." Emperor Tianqi said impatiently: "Don't keep talking, where are you?"

Tian Ergeng suddenly seemed a little embarrassed.

Emperor Tianqi is a bit straightforward and sometimes he doesn't give anyone any kindness.

Tian Ergeng hurriedly opened his mouth.

Luo Yangxing, who was behind him, said: "Your Majesty, you are in prison."

Emperor Tianqi nodded, couldn't help but look at Luo Yangxing, and then said, "Is your father's health okay?"

Luo Yangxing was recognized by Emperor Tianqi.

Of course, his father, the former commander of the Jinyiwei who was asked to retire due to illness, was also deeply impressed by Emperor Aoki.

However, even though the Luo family was trusted by Emperor Jiajing and Emperor Wanli, they were even deeply trusted by Emperor Chongzhen in history, and they were called three commanders in one family.

But only with Emperor Tianqi, Emperor Tianqi was quite disliked the Luo family. There was no other reason. In fact, he had no horizons and did not like their tone.

The Luo family was too fond of making friends with fellow villagers and famous scholars, which was considered inappropriate in Emperor Tianqi.

Of course, the Luo family had a great influence in the Jinyiwei. Because of this... Although the Luo family could not take charge of the Jinyiwei, they were also forced to give Luo Yangxing a position as the commander of the Jinyiwei.

At this time, Luo Yangxing bowed and said, "Your Majesty, my father's body is OK."

Emperor Tianqi smiled faintly and then stepped into the hall.

Now the weather in the capital is getting colder. Emperor Tianqi is wearing a bulging dress and wearing a scarlet cloak on his face.

After entering the prison, he quickly passed through the corridor and entered the cell.

The guards of this cell are particularly strict.

When Emperor Tianqi went in, he saw a man hanging, covered in bruises.

He carefully identified the so-called Mr. Lushan in front of him, and then laughed and said, "Are you Mr. Lushan?"

Mr. Lushan said nothing.

Emperor Tianqi turned around and looked at the ministers behind him, Han Lin, and the commander of the Jinyiwei Tian Ergeng and Luo Yangxing.

Tian Ergeng immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, you have confirmed that this person is Mr. Lushan. Not only is he suspicious in his daily life, but he also... he has also found a large number of letters. These letters... are absolutely impossible to be faked."

Someone had already brought a chair to Emperor Aoki.

Emperor Tianqi did not sit down, but kept his hands behind his back and continued to stare at the person, saying, "Didn't you say you want to see me? Now that I'm here, why don't you say now?"

"Are you that boy Apocalypse?" Finally, Mr. Lushan spoke, and his voice was very weak.

Tian Ergeng and others on the side were immediately furious.

Emperor Tianqi was not angry at all, and still kept his hands behind his back, calmly saying: "Yes, I am that boy Tianqi."

"It's a pity..." Mr. Lushan said: "Although Emperor Taizu Gao was also violent, he was at least a person who was well-organized. Who knew that his children and grandchildren were inferior to the other."

“Bold.”

Emperor Tianqi suppressed his hands, but said with a smile: "It's better you just say that I'm a fool, I don't mind."

Mr. Lushan said: "Your Majesty now doesn't even want shame?"

"Shame is not to you, a traitor." Emperor Tianqi said: "I think you are a scholar. You scholars, aren't you a scholar teaching the king, the ministers all day long?"

Mr. Lushan said: "But you have heard that the king regards his ministers as brothers and sisters, then the minister regards the king as his confidant, the king regards his ministers as dogs and horses, then the minister regards the king as his countrymen. The king regards his ministers as grass, then the minister regards the king as enemies?"

Emperor Tianqi said at this time: "In this way, why do you think I regard you? But why do you have such a deep hatred towards me?"

"Your Majesty is expending heavy taxes..."

When Emperor Tianqi heard this, he couldn't help laughing: "I think you are a scholar. I'm expending heavy taxes? For more than two hundred years of the Ming Dynasty, the court has always given you officials. Even if you don't have officials, at least you will be given fame based on your academic performance. Not only that, the court has also targeted you, exempting corvee and taxes. Even in the countryside, the government asked you to fight for grain tax on behalf of the court."

"For the past two hundred years, you have been officials, and you can discuss national affairs. You have no taxes or corvee service. You even fight for taxes from the people on behalf of the court and make profits from it. Later, you lend money in the countryside, you mine, you squeeze oil and sell it, how much has your land grown from the beginning of the Ming Dynasty to the present? Do you dare to say? Don't tell me that your land is based on diligence and thrift? Ordinary people work hard and can't find food and clothing. As long as you have fame and fortune, countless people will join you as slaves and donate land to avoid taxes."

"Now, your wealth and land are increasing, and the grace and honor given by fame are getting bigger and bigger. Now... I collect mining taxes and commercial taxes, which has become a scattered tax. The Ming Dynasty was not raised by you. From beginning to end, you only got countless benefits from me and the court, but you never had any relationship. Even the heavy Liao tribute and heavy labor service have nothing to do with you... This is what you call me as a mustard? I regard you as dogs and horses? The country raises scholars, so you have raised these bunches of food? You are so embarrassed to say these words?"

Speaking of this, Emperor Tianqi no longer had the indifference he had just now and said furiously: "If I am really sorry, I am sorry to the poor military households and the poor people. They have never lived a good life for more than two hundred years. They are like grass and cattle and horses. You, a shameless old thief, as a scholar, say this, is really shameless."

Mr. Lushan was also furious: "Ha... quibbling is just quibbling. The people in the world are already unable to bear it."

"Of course I can't bear it anymore." Emperor Tianqi said coldly: "So I made up my mind to treat the people well from now on and change the harsh policies of my ancestors. But... the people want to lighten corvee and reduce taxes. Where does the treasury come from?"

Emperor Tianqi stared at Mr. Lushan and continued, "Don't you have money? Don't you have food? You said that I'm levying heavy taxes, which is not wrong. I really plan to levy heavy taxes. You are ready to bear it!"

"The foolish lord!" Mr. Lushan gritted his teeth and shouted.

Tian Ergeng can no longer calm down. If this guy continues to speak without restraint, how can he explain himself?

So he cursed: "Dog, now, the matter is coming to an end, and I don't know it!"

He scolded this.

The ministers behind Emperor Tianqi were all silent. From their standpoint, they thought that although Mr. Lushan’s words were questionable, they made sense. As for His Majesty...

When Tian Ergeng scolded like this, Mr. Lushan laughed: "Hahahaha... I'm about to die, hahaha... Who is about to die? The tyrant, Tian Ergeng's traitor, today... is your death!"

As soon as this statement comes out.

But at this moment, no one noticed that Luo Yangxing, who was behind him, also showed a strange smile on his face.

At the same time, a hundred households in the Nanzhen Fushi quietly walked behind Emperor Tianqi.

The cell is narrow, so everyone is crowded here.

The Jinyiwei is a personal army, and it will not be suspicious that he is with his entourage.

Emperor Tianqi brought not many guards when he came here this time. After all, the Jinyiwei itself was the guard of the emperor.

At this time, the hundred households had secretly stretched out a dagger from their sleeves. Then, he first crossed the back shoulder of Emperor Tianqi, looked at Mr. Lushan quickly, with a hint of respect in his eyes. Then his eyes were full of fierce light, as if he had used all his strength to penetrate the dagger towards Emperor Tianqi's back waist.

puff……

The dagger stabbed hard.

Suddenly, the people around him noticed it.

At this time, a Hanlin next to him said tremblingly: "What are you going to do?"

As soon as he said that, on the other side, another man in the Nanzhen Fushi Department, who looked like a captain, suddenly drew his sword and then directly gave the Hanlin a knife.

Hanlin uh... and then fell to the ground.

No one expected that such a major change would suddenly occur.

However... the hundreds of households who assassinated Emperor Apocalypse, with a dagger, were about to wait for Emperor Apocalypse to splatter blood.

But at this moment...

Dong...

The dagger seemed to stab the iron plate.

And the hundreds of households were suddenly shocked.

He was obviously incredible.

But at this time, Emperor Tianqi turned around and looked at him with a sarcastic look.

The next moment, Emperor Aoki raised his hand and suddenly... pulled the cloak outside and lifted it open.

Then he pulled the coat he was wearing...

Immediately afterwards, the gray coat inside was exposed.

The dagger had obviously pierced the gray coat, but... inside...

In the coat... a steel plate was also exposed.

Emperor Tianqi looked at him sarcastically and said, "Do you think I am a fool? You always think about me and want me to die, so annoyed!"

After saying that, he touched the four or five short guns inserted between his waist and said, "Today, let you guys know that even if I am alone, you are definitely not qualified to plan!"
