Chapter 248 Those who are alive will be killed, and those who are dead will be shattered into ashes!

Bo Luohan quickly stood up, followed closely behind Zhu Youtang, and walked towards the Yangxin Hall.

Along the way, Boluohan kept thinking in his mind, guessing Zhu Youtang's purpose.

Soon, Zhu Youtang's dragon chariot stopped outside the Yangxin Hall.

Zhu Youtang walked into the Yangxin Hall, followed closely by Bo Luohan.

In the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, Mona had received the news in advance and was waiting at the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart early.

"I have met Your Majesty."

Seeing Zhu Youtang coming, Mona quickly saluted.

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Zhu Youtang walked past Mona and sat on the dragon chair.

At this time, Bo Luohan also entered the Yangxin Hall.

Mona was extremely happy after receiving the order from Zhu Youtang to summon her.

At this moment, seeing Bo Luohan behind Zhu Youtang again, he smiled even more.

"Brother, you are here too!"

Polo rarely saw Mona and was very happy.

Seeing that my sister was dressed luxuriously and her hands were full of pearls, I remembered the difference in status and hurriedly handed her over as a gift.

"Wei Chen, I have seen Choros choose his attendants."

Seeing her brother salute to her, Mona felt a little at a loss.

"What are you doing? You are so polite to me?"

Mona didn't understand and felt a little flustered.

Bo Luohan behaved seriously: "Choros chose the noble servant as my concubine. We are already different from monarchs and ministers. The royal family is an important place, and etiquette cannot be ignored."

Mona was at a loss and looked at Zhu Youtang as if asking for help.

Zhu Youtang sat on the dragon chair, took a sip of hot tea, and then said with a smile: "We are all members of our own family here, so we don't need to worry about so many false etiquettes. Feel free."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

The emperor may not care about etiquette, but ministers cannot.

Although Bo Luohan responded, he was still very respectful in his words.

Zhu Youtang gave the two of them some time to catch up with each other.

But soon, Zhu Youtang got to the point.

"Mona, I still have something to tell Bolohan. You should go back first."

"Oh...yes, Your Majesty."

After this separation, when Bo Luohan returns to the grassland, they will meet again, but they don't know that they will have to wait until the year of the monkey and the month of the horse.

It is not easy to see an old face from the grassland in this important place of the palace.

But no matter how reluctant Mona was to give up, she could only leave first.

When there were only Zhu Youtang and Bo Luohan in the room, Zhu Youtang stepped back and said, "I can give you an answer to what I agreed with you when we were in Xuanfu."

What was agreed upon in the Xuan Mansion... wasn't it that the Ming Dynasty would fund Wala, become bigger and stronger, and return to the Beiyuan grassland?

Thinking of this, Bolohan looked extremely excited, the muscles on his face were trembling uncontrollably, and he wanted to laugh wildly.

"From now on, I allow you to purchase the weapons, armor and firearms of the Ming Dynasty. You can purchase no more than 10,000 shi of food every year, and you can pay tribute every year and be listed as a non-conqueror of the Ming Dynasty."

"But at the same time, you must disturb the peace of the grassland and prevent the Tatar tribe from unifying the grassland!"

"For those small tribes that do not have descendants of the Golden Family, just force them to embrace the Ming Dynasty."

"And those descendants of the Golden Family, kill them all, leaving no one alive!"

Zhu Youtang's idea is actually to continue the cooperation model between Emperor Yingzong and Yexian during the Zhengtong period.

Go from Oara to attack the small tribes on the grassland, making them unable to live on the grassland, and forcing them to annex the Ming Dynasty.

And large tribes like the Tatars, who have descendants of the Golden Family, continue to consume their strength and prevent them from unifying the grassland.

During the Jingtai period, Yexian, who lost the support of Emperor Yingzong, soon died in the internal fighting of the Oara tribe. From then on, the Oara tribe fell into despair.

The Tatar tribe took the opportunity to rise up and unify the grasslands, and by the time of the Ming Dynasty, they completely lost control of the Beiyuan grasslands.

Last year, after the little Tatar prince invaded the Ming Dynasty and was completely wiped out by Zhu Youtang, the vitality of the Tatar tribe was severely damaged, and the small tribes attached to it were no longer so obedient.

Beiyuan Grassland returned to a state of chaos and remained quiet for a long time.

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. With the powerful cooperation of Manduhai and Huoshai, the civil strife was quickly eliminated, and the Tatar tribe once again had the power to unify the grasslands.

Zhu Youtang must not sit back and watch the Tatar tribe grow again, and the Oara tribe is a nail he buried in the grassland.

This is the continental balance of power that exploits both inside and outside. This technique is still used by lighthouse countries in the Middle East to this day.

Bo Luohan was extremely excited. In the face of real benefits, he didn't mind being annihilated.

Just like other traitors, for them, talking about nation in the face of interests is a very ridiculous thing.

"Weak minister, thank you for Your Majesty's grace!"

"After I return to the grassland, I will do my best to serve Your Majesty!"

"With me, Boluohan, in the Beiyuan Grassland for one day, there will be no peace in the Beiyuan Grassland!"

Zhu Youtang nodded with satisfaction, and discussed some details with Boluohan, pointing the finger at the Tatar Grand Master Huo Si.

At the end of the sentence, Zhu Youtang looked at Boluohan and said meaningfully: "Bolohan, if you can get rid of the Tatars, a serious problem for me."

"I can be extra gracious and allow you to seize the title of Grand Master Huai Wang from your grandfather."

King Huai is a single-character king, which is one level higher than his current King Shunning.

Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, there have been only a few people who can claim the title of king with a different surname.

And his grandfather was one of them.

Now, this great honor fell in front of him, how could this not make him excited?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will repay Your Majesty with all my heart and soul for Your Majesty..."

Just when he was about to express his loyalty, suddenly Wang Zhi, the director of the West Factory, walked out of the Yangxin Hall in a dusty state.

At the same time, Ji Sheng, the third gear head of the West Factory, also followed behind Wang Zhi.

"Wei Chen, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

After the two entered the door, they first greeted each other.

Zhu Youtang's eyes swept over the two of them, and then waved to Boluohan: "That's it. I have finished what I need to say."

"If you want weapons, give them weapons, if you want money and food, give money and food. You guys... don't let me down."

Boluohan quickly kowtowed and led the order: "It's Your Majesty! Wala will never disappoint His Majesty's expectations!"

"Wei Chen will retire first."

Bo Luohan knew that it was no longer convenient for him to hear the next words.

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Yu honestly exited the Yangxin Hall and left the palace.

Next, he would first take his tribe members to sell all the hundreds of thousands of rat skins in his hands, and then take the money to the Ministry of War to buy Ming Dynasty weapons and equipment.

Of course, the most important thing is to go to Huangzhuang to buy food. After doing this, we will set off to return to the grassland in Xianzhou, and then take the tribe back to the Beiyuan Grassland!

After Bo Luohan left, Zhu Youtang nodded to Wang Zhi and Ji Sheng: "Get up and talk."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After the two stood up, Wang Zhi immediately handed over his hands to report the situation.

"Your Majesty, what happened forty years ago, Xichang has already traced 372 people."

"Yang Hong's grave has also been found."

Zhu Youtang raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Where was Yang Hong's tomb finally moved?"

Wang Zhi glanced at Jisheng beside him, and Jisheng took a step forward in time.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered Yang Hong's grave in Sichi Castle, Wandu, North Zhili."

"The cemetery is very low-key. There is no Shinto monument, no sacrificial shrine, not even a tombstone. It is just a bare small mound."

"If Yang Hong's mother wasn't buried next to it, we might never be able to find where Yang Hong's tomb is until our death."

This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!

The Wandu Department was located in Xuanfu and had jurisdiction over the eleven guard posts including the front, left and right guards of Xuanfu.

That was the base camp of the Yang family. It was reasonable for Yang Jun to secretly steal Yang Hong's coffin from the official tomb in Xishan and bury it here in the seventh year of Jingtai.

Moreover, Yang Hong and his descendants can be considered tolerant.

In the second year of Jingtai, after Yang Hong died in the capital, Yu Qian buried Yang Hong with official rites. Even the epitaph was mentioned by Yu Qian himself.

There are two Shinto monuments at the front and back, each as tall as two people. The cemetery is luxurious and grand, showing the true character of a powerful official.

However, after the relocation, not only did the size of the tomb drop, from a national cemetery to an unnamed grave, but not a single Shinto monument or tombstone was left.

The reason is to avoid the liquidation after Emperor Yingzong's restoration and keep a complete body.

This is also true. After the Yingzong restoration, he immediately sent people to destroy Yang Hong's official tomb, but Yang Hong's bones were never found.

Until today, Zhu Youtang was finally found!

"Run?! Yang Hong, you can run in the first grade of junior high school, but you can't run in the fifteenth grade!"

Zhu Youtang showed a fierce look on his face and immediately ordered: "Destroy all the Yang family's ancestral tombs immediately, dig out all the bones, and Yang Hong will open the coffins and slaughter the corpses, crush the bones and scatter the ashes!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After Ji Sheng accepted the order, he retreated behind Wang Zhi.

Wang Zhi then continued to report: "In addition, Xichang has identified a total of 372 border generals who participated in the Tumubao Incident in the 14th year of Zhengtong."

"This is only the number who are alive. There are more than 800 generals who have died due to various reasons."

"The remaining generals who participated in the mutiny were liquidated by Emperor Yingzong himself during the Tianshun period."

Zhu Youtang nodded: "Those who are alive must be killed, and those who are dead must be killed for their descendants."

"Everyone who participated in the Tumubao Incident will be executed!"

"For those who are already dead, open the coffins and kill the corpses, exposing them to the wilderness!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhi accepted the order and was not surprised by Zhu Youtang's order to kill everyone.

In fact, after Emperor Taizu founded the country, although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty killed many officials, there was still a bottom line, that is, the harm would not harm their wives and children.

Rarely would there be any orders to kill the Nine Tribes, the Three Yi Tribes, or kill the whole family.

But the consequences of doing so are the endless descendants and descendants of these corrupt officials and traitorous ministers.

Although these officials died, they left behind descendants.

These descendants were promoted slightly by their corrupt father's colleagues and comrades, and they became new corrupt officials.

These officials themselves were hostile to the Ming Dynasty because their fathers were executed by the Ming Dynasty.

If they are allowed to serve as officials, can the political environment of the Ming Dynasty still be good?

There was no political review process in the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Youtang did not want to waste resources on those screenings.

Let's just cut it across the board and kill all the descendants of corrupt officials, so this problem won't happen again in the future.

Moreover, although the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had a bottom line, the officials of the Ming Dynasty did not have a bottom line.

After Yu Qian seized power, he issued an order to Ma Shun, the commander of Emperor Yingzong's royal guards, and Wang Zhen, the eunuch in charge of the ceremonial department: all members of the clan should be killed if there were no elders.

The Emperor of Ming Dynasty did not kill these officials, but after these officials came to power, they killed Ma Shun and Wang Zhenman's family.

Because they understand one thing deeply, if the root of the grass is not removed, it will grow again with the spring breeze!

Moreover, Zhu Youtang's philosophy has always been that the premise is that the misfortunes do not harm his wife and children, but the blessings do not harm them.

Can corrupt officials refuse to use the money they steal for their wives and children?

impossible!

Since the wives and children of corrupt officials used the dirty money stolen from the people, killing them would not be regarded as indiscriminate killing of innocent people.

Moreover, most of the money and benefits earned by corrupt officials are for their own descendants.

If the officials of the Ming Dynasty reach a consensus, as long as they are caught for corruption, not only will they die, but their wives and children will also die together.

The money they steal will not only fail to help their children, but will also kill their own children.

Then the number of corrupt officials in Ming Dynasty will definitely drop significantly.

Wang Zhi and Ji Sheng were about to retire when suddenly a young eunuch who was in charge of rituals came to inform them.

"Your Majesty, the Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Mou Bin, and the Commander of the Jinyi Guards have asked for an audience with Zhi Qinglong."

"Let them in."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Shortly after the young eunuch exited the Yangxin Hall, Mou Bin and Qinglong hurried into the Yangxin Hall to see the ceremony.

"Your Majesty is responsible for your humble duties."

"Get up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

After Mou Bin and Qinglong saw each other, Mou Bin spoke first: "Your Majesty, when Qinglong was killing the nine Yu clans in Qiantang County, he accidentally found out that the Yu clan was smuggling into the sea privately, and the amount involved was extremely huge."

"I suspect that the number of officials involved in this smuggling case is extremely large."

"The matter was so important at this time that I did not dare to hesitate, so I asked Qinglong and the minister to face the Holy Spirit together and report to His Majesty the situation in the south of the Yangtze River in person."

Zhu Youtang nodded expressionlessly: "Let's talk about it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

After Mou Bin finished speaking, he took a step back and revealed the green dragon behind him.

Seeing Zhu Youtang, Qinglong felt somewhat nervous.

Qinglong quickly handed over his hand and said: "Your Majesty, I am in the south of the Yangtze River and have discovered a major smuggling case of the Yu family!"

Afterwards, Qinglong reported everything he had seen and heard in Jiangnan to Zhu Youtang.

Including dismantling the statues of Yu Qian and Yu Shen in Qiantang, catching Yu Yunzhong in Nanjing Port, and seizing the Yu family's ships and smuggled goods.

"Yu Yunzhong and other members of the Yu clan have been imprisoned in the Jinyiwei Prison. Please deal with it, Your Majesty!"

Qinglong originally thought that this smuggling case involving high-ranking officials in Jiangnan would make Zhu Youtang Longyan furious.

But Zhu Youtang just sneered: "Humph, I already know about the Jiangnan smuggling case."

"And this matter was inscribed on me by the Minister of War in Nanjing!"

As Zhu Youtang spoke, he took out a book from a pile of official documents beside him and threw it to Qinglong.
