Chapter 96 This is the loss of the civilian group
The people of Yuyao County are angry!
They didn't expect Xie Qian to be such a person, and all of a sudden Xie Qian's monumental image in their minds collapsed!
Many people have begun to rush in with strong emotions to kill Xie Qian and destroy Xie Qian's home.
Deng Bing and his officers and soldiers drew their swords and shouted to stop the people.
At this time, Lu Ju's officers and soldiers unexpectedly found many gold and silver items from Liuxiang Cave.
Silver ingots as big as dustpans and gold bars as big as shoes were carried out in boxes.
Not only that, a Bodhisattva made of gold and a big bird made of silver were also carried out.
Moreover, it took many days to carry these gold and silver objects and they were not finished.
Deng Bing and Lu Ju were both nobles and had seen a lot of gold and silver, but they were shocked at this time.
Lu Ju couldn't help but ask Xie Qian: "Xie Qian, didn't you say that you were an honest official? Don't you have much gold and silver at home?"
Xie Qian did not answer Lu Ju's words. He knew that he could not hide it. He also knew that the gold and silver he had stored for many years could not be saved now that they were discovered, so he had no choice but to admit defeat.
At this time, the soldiers who announced the new decree of the imperial court also arrived here, and immediately informed Deng Bing to execute the vassals who were under the wings of Xie Qian's family and were the powerful slaves in Huixiang, as well as his disciples and Qingke.
After Deng Bing received the order, he immediately began to execute the Xie family's slaves and disciples Qingke.
"Come on!"
Deng Bing shouted loudly, and the first batch of Xie family slaves were escorted up.
"Kill!"
As soon as Deng Bing finished speaking, there was a click and dozens of heads rolled down!
Seeing this, Xie Qian couldn't help but close his eyes. These powerful slaves who had done many evil things for him were now being killed, and he couldn't bear it.
At this time, the people who had been deceived by Xie Qian, a hypocrite, were no longer in the mood to sympathize with these powerful slaves of the Xie family, and they only looked on indifferently.
Again, the indifference of the people is the greatest support for the officers and soldiers.
Deng Bing ordered another group of Xie family slaves to be captured.
Each of these powerful slaves still shouted to Xie Qian without giving up: "Master, please save us!"
Xie Qian naturally can't save them now.
These slaves were chopped to the ground again.
One batch after another, on the fifth day, in addition to Xie Qian's relatives and relatives, all the powerful slaves related to the Xie family were executed!
After the confiscation of the property was completed, Xie Qian, his clan members and relatives were escorted to Beijing along with all the confiscated property of the Xie family.
Xie Qian was obviously no longer popular with his neighbors. As soon as his prison van left Xie's yard, the people threw rotten vegetables, stones, and even filth.
Xie Qian was also used to enjoying good things. How could he bear such abuse? He had to cry and beg the officers and soldiers who escorted him: "My lord, please, please don't let them throw things at me. Xie Qian is really I can’t bear it. For the sake of me being a cabinet minister, will you allow me to be escorted to Beijing with dignity?”
Ever since they learned about Xie Qian's beastly and hypocritical side, the officers and soldiers escorting him had no favorable impression of him. They only glared at Xie Qian and ignored him. Xie Qian feels uncomfortable all over now, itchy below and smelly above, because he was rubbed so hard in the prison car that day, and now he still has some burning pain.
Today, Xie Qian is in a state of despair. He shouted: "Please, can you let Xie take a bath?"
No one paid attention to Xie Qian.
Xie Qian now felt the feeling of being despised and despised by everyone, and he would occasionally cry because of this on the road: "Why, why is this happening, why on earth is this, Li Dongyang, why do you want your Majesty to know about our regicide?" What happened! If you had listened to me and killed Zhang Yu and the others, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. ”
While Xie Qian was crying, he felt even more heartbroken when he looked at the relatives behind him who had become prisoners like himself and the property that his family had plundered for many years.
And Xie Qian's people now have no favorable impression of Xie Qian, and even hate him, not only because of Xie Qian's beastly behavior, but also because Xie Qian's regicide has affected them.
When the Xie clan members found out that Xie Qian was involved in the crime of regicide, they all wanted to ask why Xie Qian wanted to kill the late emperor, which even harmed themselves.
Not only Xie Qian's tribe, but also Li Dongyang and Liu Jian's tribe.
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, and Xie Qian now truly tasted the feeling of being abandoned by the whole world. Not only did the entire civil service group abandon them, but also the clans behind them, and even the clans behind them had to be buried with them.
This is what happens when regicide is discovered!
After all, the Ming Dynasty at this time was an ethical society. All the laws of the society were based on ethics, and the most important relationship in ethics was the relationship between monarch and minister!
Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others who violated this ethical relationship will naturally be punished by the most severe punishment in this society.
No matter how Zhu Houzhao punishes them, people of this era will take it for granted.
Of course, Liu Jian, Li Dongyang, Xie Qian and others also knew the consequences, but they did not expect that the regicide would be exposed. What they originally wanted was to keep the regicide a secret forever, so that they could use and Zhu Houzhao maintained the interests of his entire gentry group through this ethical relationship between teachers and students.
But now they have failed, and they have turned from the most respected cabinet ministers into regicide traitors!
At the same time, their actions also caused the civil service group to suffer huge losses and face a huge crisis of trust in the ruling empire.
Foreign relatives, eunuchs, and the military attache group are political groups that are not trusted because they have historically caused damage to the stability of the empire.
And now people are discovering that the civil service group doesn’t seem to be reliable either!
The power of the civil servant group undoubtedly suffered a great loss in the regicide case of Liu Jian and others.
At the same time, this was also a tragic failure for the civil service group. Since Tumubao, they had almost forgotten that they might face such a failure.
Zhu Houzhao has not stopped weakening the power of the civil service group. He will take advantage of this opportunity to avenge Emperor Hongzhi to defeat the civil service group that threatens the imperial power and establish his own imperial majesty!
Living people such as Liu Jian will not forgive, and people like Liu Daxia who participated in the regicide case but are already dead are equally unforgivable.
Zhu Houzhao approved the proposal of some officials to whip Liu Daxia to death and confiscate his family.
Liu Daxia probably didn't expect that he would face such an ending, just as he didn't expect that he would be fried with nitroglycerin by Zhu Houzhao.
Except for Lu Zhonghe and others who were involved in the massacre of the people, those who were involved in the regicide case were all arrested and brought to Beijing, and all those who should be confiscated were also confiscated.
Zhu Houzhao will now begin to execute the principal criminals involved in the regicide case.
Frankly speaking, because he has now inherited Zhu Houzhao's feelings, he also has a very strong desire in his heart to severely punish those who killed his father!
However, before executing these people, he had to meet these people in person. He wanted to see how these people were feeling now.
