Chapter 370 Capture the rebels

"And this is also to scare the monkeys, in order to scare the officials and tell them that if there is anyone who colludes with the gentry or has hidden land at home, don't think about hiding it and report it honestly and truthfully. Otherwise, Liu Yushi's family will learn from the past.

.”

"Your Majesty, for the present plan, we can only deal with it this way, otherwise it will only cause unnecessary twists and turns."

After hearing the last word, Xiao Jing raised her eyes to look at him. The word "trouble" was mentioned again, but it was completely different from what Emperor Hongzhi meant, and even completely contradicted it. One said that dealing with Liu Xiyao would cause twists and turns.

The other one said that failure to deal with Liu Xiyao would lead to setbacks.

Zhu Youtang was silent for a while and asked: "Do you think this is the only way to deal with it?"

"This is the only way to handle it. At least it won't cause any sequelae."

Zhu Youtang was speechless, and seemed to be persuaded, so he could only say: "You allow me to think about it."

The two of them see things from different angles, or in other words, this is a different view caused by their personalities.

Emperor Hongzhi had a stable character and always wanted to seek and maintain stability; in comparison, Xia Yuan's character was much more radical.

He felt that even at this time, he still wanted to seek stability, which was really indecisive.

Nowadays, when it comes to thinking, it is more like thinking without hesitation.

Always thinking about this, thinking about that, but still unable to make a decision. The more I think, the more scruples I have, and the less I can make a decision.

This is the weakness of Emperor Hongzhi, or the weakness of a man with far-reaching ideas. People often say that like father, like son, but Zhu Houzhao is not the two extremes. He will never look forward or backward, nor will he think about these things.

.

This guy's approach to things can be described in one word: reckless.

His thoughts drifted a little further, and Xia Yuan pulled him back again, interrupting Zhu Youtang's thinking, "Your Majesty, now is not the time to think. If you want to make a decision, you must do it quickly. Send someone out now to ensure that

Liu Yushi was charged with treason, so we took a preemptive strike. If we wait for the news to come, it will be too late."

"."

Emperor Hongzhi was startled at first. He didn't quite understand what this meant. Take someone as you please. What's the difference between early and late? What does it mean to be late?

It took a moment before I realized what lateness he was talking about.

Catch the person before the news reaches the capital, catching everyone off guard.

When the news comes, everyone will know the whole story, and then combined with the previous arrests, they will naturally know the emperor's attitude towards this matter.

To put it bluntly, we are still trying to establish authority for the reform and this matter.

If you wait for the news to come before you go to arrest people, the effect of establishing authority will be greatly reduced.

Zhu Youtang didn't know whether his guess was correct, but that was generally what it meant.

only

Do you really want to deal with it this way?

He began to hesitate again, looked at Xia Yuan, then at Xiao Jing, and asked, "What do Xiao Banban think?"

I was not sure and wanted to add more weights, but at this time, Xiao Jing was very cautious and said, "All slaves obey the emperor's orders."

"Didn't you just say that Liu Xiyao should be given the title of rebel?"

"My slave has said that, but I still obey the emperor's orders."

Emperor Hongzhi hummed, but was silent again. After a long time, he looked at Xiao Jing: "Why are you still standing there?"

"?"

Xiao Jing was confused, but he quickly understood what it meant, composed himself, knelt down and kowtowed: "I accept this decree!"

By this time, the sky had darkened, the curfew had begun to be implemented, and the streets around the capital were deserted.

The homes of ordinary people are basically dark and ready for sleep, but the homes of dignitaries are still brightly lit.

The sound of horse hooves and the sound of people running in boots were particularly obvious on this deserted street.

When they came to a mansion in Dongcheng, these people all stopped. This was the residence of Liu Xiyao, the left deputy censor of the Central Procuratorate.

The whole house doesn't look big, it's probably just a two-entry house. Two lanterns hang high under the eaves of the gate, and the vermilion door is closed.

The sound of banging on the door only rang a few times before the door was opened and a head poked out, followed by shouts: "Who doesn't have eyes is banging on the door! I don't know where this is."

"Liu Yushi's"

Just saying this, the shouting suddenly stopped. The door saw the people outside. Outside the door were a few people wearing green and brocade clothes. Behind them, there were a large number of people, holding open fires, riding tall horses, each with waist.

There is a sword hanging in the middle.

Those who came were either Fanzi from Dongjishi Factory or Tiqi from Fusi in Beizhen.

When they saw the door being opened, the few guards standing outside the door rushed in, and everyone behind them followed suit.

"Hey, you guys."

"Go away!"

There was a loud shout, and a hand was stretched out at the same time. The door was pushed directly to the ground. A pair of feet wearing hobnail boots were like iron hooves. They stepped in through the open door of Liu Mansion. The small front door

The whole courtyard seemed to be shaken by these footsteps.

After everyone rushed into the courtyard, they ran straight into the inner courtyard. When the servants of the Liu Mansion saw such a ferocious uninvited guest breaking into the house, they were all shocked, frightened, and at a loss. No one dared to step forward to stop them.

Or ask these people why they are here.

There were only one or two shrill female screams from the crowd, but they stopped abruptly and were covered by the companions around them.

When they arrived at the inner courtyard, the factory guards divided into three groups, running all the way to the east wing and the west wing. Mou Bin, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, led a group of Jinyi guards straight to the main room in the north.

Before he reached the main room, Mou Bin's steps suddenly stopped.

The Jin Yiwei who was following him also stopped suddenly.

The door of the main room was opened, and Liu Xiyao walked out of the door angrily. When he saw the leader, the anger on his face suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but be stunned. The commander of the Jin Yiwei ordered Mou Bin to lead his people in.

What is home for?

After being stunned, anger surged up again. How about Jin Yiwei, who broke into his home for no reason? Is there any law of the king? Is there any justice of heaven?

But before he had time to attack, Mou Bin stared at him and asked: "Is this Liu Xiyao, deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

Hearing this, Liu Xiyao almost laughed angrily. He was an official in the same dynasty, wouldn't this bitch not recognize him?

"Mo Bin, Mr. Liu doesn't know what kind of medicine you are selling in this gourd. I don't care whether you are pretending not to know him or you really don't know Mr. Liu. I just want to ask you, what are you trying to do by bringing someone into my house?"

Mou Bin did not answer, but repeated with a sullen face, "I will ask again, are you Liu Xiyao, deputy imperial envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"

"It's Liu."

This was what Mou Bin was waiting for. After hearing this, he immediately pressed his palm forward and said, "Take down the rebels!"

"?"

Liu Xiyao was stunned as expected.

The Jinyi guards behind Mou Bin swarmed up, and several of them pushed Liu Xiyao to the ground. The remaining Jinyi guards holding shackles locked Liu Xiyao firmly with a few clicks.
