Chapter 137

The long-term future of the Ming Dynasty drawn by Zhao Peng made Zhu Cilang very excited. He never thought that the world was incredible. The huge Ming Dynasty was just a small piece in the world, and there was a vast world besides the Ming Dynasty. If Zhao Peng said, then the vast world became the territory of the Ming Dynasty, then wouldn’t the Ming Dynasty be far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties?

If a country is in a chaotic world, if the emperor can support it, then he will be the lord of revival; if he can't support it, he will be the lord of the country that is destroyed. Therefore, the lord of revival and the lord of the country that is destroyed is a difference of one thought.

Zhu Cilang naturally wanted to be a revival, rather than a king of a devastated country.

Zhao Peng asked, "Your Majesty really wants to kill the nine tribes of Duke of Wei?"

"You have no jokes. Xu Hongji planned to rebel and led his army to besiege the palace. According to the Ming Dynasty, he should destroy the nine clans!" Zhu Cixuan said.

The original owner of Zhao Peng told himself that the Ming Dynasty's nine clans were actually much more humane than the previous dynasties. The Ming Dynasty's nine clans were not killed by all the families, but the basic principle was to kill men and women. Moreover, killing men and women was not to kill all the men indiscriminately. In principle, only adult men over 16 years old were killed, those under 16 were sold as slaves, or castrated into the palace to be low-level eunuchs. As for women, young and beautiful people were sent to the Jiaofangsi, girls were sold as slaves, and old women with old and weak sex were arranged to go to the Huanhuang Bureau to serve as female slaves.

Killing men and keeping women sounds quite humane, but it is actually a great insult to those surviving women. The woman sent to the Jiaofangsi was actually a rooster, with thousands of people riding on it. The old woman who went to the washing bureau had a hard time living. She had a lot of clothes that she had to wash all day long at the age of age. She was accidentally whipped by the eunuch, and she was beaten to death and died in vain. After she died, she didn't even have a coffin and directly burned her bones and raised ashes.

Since Zhu Cixuan has decided to kill the nine clans of Duke of Wei, Zhao Peng will no longer object. The Duke of Wei has enjoyed the preferential treatment of the Ming Dynasty for nearly three hundred years and enjoyed all his wealth and glory. It is time to vomit it out. However, Zhao Peng still made up: "Your Majesty, please leave the men in the Xu family side of the Xu family to live, and send them to the iron ore as slaves. I want to build a strong army, which requires a lot of steel. Isn't it a pity that those men have killed in vain? It's better to send them to the mine as slaves. And the old wife of the Xu family, sending them to the washing and washing bureau will not have any effect. It's better to send them to the mine to cook for the mine slaves."

Zhu Cilang nodded and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law is kind and kind, I promise it! Also, if there is a young and beautiful woman in the Duke of Wei's family, if there is a young and beautiful woman, the brother-in-law can't bear to send her to the Jiafangsi, he can be taken to the family as a maid."

"Thank you for your kindness! Your Majesty, it's getting late, so go back early to rest." Zhao Peng said.

Zhu Cixuan looked at the bright sky outside and laughed: "My brother-in-law is joking. It's already dawn, and he said it's too late? I'm tired, I'll take a rest first when I go back. I have to go to the cabinet in the afternoon to discuss the throne ceremony with the cabinet masters. By the way, the property of Xu Hongji, Zhao Zhilong, Zhu Guobi and others is confiscated without delay. Today, we will take action so that there will be more nights and dreams. If we get to the court, we will have to review the three departments. My imperial edict will be drafted by the cabinet, which will cause trouble."

Zhao Peng understood that Zhu Cilang did not intend to give the Wei Duke a chance. He planned to take this opportunity to uproot the Xu family, which was deeply rooted and lush. At this time, Zhu Cilang was no longer the young and cowardly boy half a year ago, but grew into a decisive emperor, and he already had the majesty of an emperor.

"I obey the order!" Zhao Peng bowed and saluted, "I immediately led the Jinyiwei to confiscate the three thieves Xu Hongji, Zhu Guobi and Zhao Zhilong!"

Zhu Cilang nodded with satisfaction. He knew that he had seen with his own eyes how his father was poor and was so poor that rats could run away in the treasury. The thief army approached the capital, and the father asked the ministers to donate wages, but he only collected tens of thousands of taels of silver. However, Li Zicheng was just a gift, Chen Yan, who had only been the chief minister of the cabinet for one year, was actually a gift of five million taels of silver by Li Zicheng! Just imagine, Chen Yan, who had only been the chief minister of the cabinet for one year, had five million taels of silver. Such a deep-rooted family of Wei, who had enjoyed nearly three hundred years of preferential treatment, how much silver could he get out of this house search? I could even wake up in my dreams.

Zhao Peng did not dare to delay. After leaving the imperial study, he immediately led the Jinyiwei to take action.

The first one to search the house was naturally the Duke of Wei. A group of Jinyiwei, who was like a fierce god, arrived at the gate of the Duke's mansion, and saw that the gate of Zhu Hong's mansion was closed. Zhao Peng did not give face to the people in the mansion and directly ordered to open the door.

More than a dozen Jinyiwei worked together to carry a large piece of wood and hit the mansion door with force, and opened it in a few strokes.

"Brothers, rush into the mansion, and the women in the mansion are arrested casually. They are arrested and imprisoned. They are rewarded for meritorious brothers as their daughters-in-laws! But gold, silver and treasures cannot be embezzled! If someone finds that they are privately hiding property, don't blame our army for being ruthless!" Zhao Peng ordered. Since Zhu Cilang has agreed to exempt those women from being in the Jiaofangsi, he agreed to leave them to Zhao Peng as his maids. Then these women have become his personal property, and Zhao Peng has the right to dominate. Instead of turning them into his own maids, it is better to reward them as their daughters-in-laws.

Hearing that he could steal his wife at will, the Jinyiwei's eyes were lit and shouting and pouring into the magnificent Duke's Mansion. For a moment, the Duke's Mansion was in chaos, the women screamed, the children cried, the old man lamented, and the young man kneeled down and begged for mercy mixed with the excited shouts of the Jinyiwei's Mansion.

The Jinyiwei chased the young ladies and maids who were screaming and fleeing everywhere. They grabbed one and immediately tied it up with a rope to pull it away. They grabbed the adult man and immediately pressed down the five flowers and tied them up like rice dumplings.

Mrs. Xu held the iron coupon of the alchemy book in fear and walked out with the help of two close maids. Seeing Zhao Peng, Mrs. Xu knelt on the ground and raised the iron coupon of the alchemy book with both hands: "This official, the iron coupon of the alchemy book is here."

Zhao Peng walked forward and sneered, "Mrs. Xu, although the iron certificate of the alchemy can be avoided from death, except for the serious crime of treason! Your Majesty has already made his mercy, so the old lady naturally does not need to die. Even the generals will not send the old lady to the washing and washing bureau. In the future, the old lady can also be with her family, but the final result will be decided by the emperor, and perhaps the three departments will be tried."

"Thank you for your kindness!" Old Mrs. Xu kowtowed a few times in the direction of the Forbidden City, and was then taken away by the Jinyiwei.

After taking away all the men, women, young and old in the Duke's Mansion, Zhao Peng and Jinyiwei began to search for property in the mansion. Soon, boxes of gold, silver, treasures, antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and store deeds were searched. Boxes filled with silver and gold were piled up in the courtyard and piled up into a hill.

Zhao Peng ordered: "Send all the proceeds from the house search into the inner treasury of the imperial city! Let's go and continue to search the house at Zhu Guobi!"

One thousand two hundred Jinyiwei and one thousand infantrymen rushed towards the Forbidden City in a large cart filled with gold, silver and treasures. Zhao Peng himself took eight hundred Jinyiwei to the mansion of Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi.

The word "houfu" is written on the door of Baoguo Duke's Mansion. It turns out that Baoguo Duke Zhu Guobi was originally the Marquis of Funing. Because King Fu of Yongli was a great success in ascending the throne, he was ordered to be named Baoguo Duke not long ago by King Fu. However, the door plaque on the mansion still had no time to be replaced.

Zhao Peng ordered the Jinyiwei to break open the door of the mansion, and a large group of Jinyiwei rushed into the mansion.

Just like when he was arresting people first when he was in the Duke of Wei's mansion, Zhao Peng ordered that all men, women, young and old be arrested first.

The Jinyiwei excitedly chased the young lady and maid running around excitedly, grabbed one, tied it up and prepared to take it away. However, when he was arresting the person, he encountered a little trouble.

"Don't come over! Come over again, the little woman will die in front of you!" A beautiful woman in her early twenties held a sword and crossed her neck.
