Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Page 544



"Your Majesty Shengming, this decision of yours will greatly relieve Daming's burden, but it may be very difficult to implement!"

Zhu Youjian's eyes were firm and resolute, and he said decisively:

"My dearest relatives, I have my own way, so it shouldn't be a big problem."

After getting up, Sun Chuanting looked at the stunned British Duke, and stepped forward to comfort him:

"Prince England, don't be sad. Although the Holy Majesty has canceled your hereditary replacements and loosened many restrictions, it can be said that you are more free. To put it bluntly, if the Ming Dynasty dies, the nobles are nothing. We it's the same……"

Qi Jiguang, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzhong and others all made great contributions to the Pingliu bandits and extermination of the Eastern captivity. They are all dukes at present, and their titles cannot be hereditary.

But they were all summoned by Zhu Youjian, and they would not have any opinion on Zhu Youjian's decision. Even if Zhu Youjian asked them to commit suicide, they would immediately draw their swords and kill themselves without the slightest hesitation.

Zhang Shize saw that Sun Chuanting and others were also banned from hereditary inheritance, but they were still talking and laughing without any discomfort, and his mood quickly returned to normal.

Zhu Youjian could understand Zhang Shize's mood, and after they calmed down, Zhu Youjian announced the punishment of Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue and He Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong:

"Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue and Xincheng Bo Zhao Zhilong have no law, they openly smashed the pawnshop to resist the reform of the imperial court, they should have killed everyone, I think your ancestors have made great achievements for the Ming Dynasty, and I will spare your life for the time being.

Decided to revoke Xu Jiujue's Wei Guogong and Zhao Zhilong's Xinchengbo titles, exile in Monan Mongolia, all family members were reduced to civilians, and no longer enjoyed the imperial salary. "

Chapter 433

Zhu Youjian's decision surprised and surprised several ministers present.

Compared with Zhu Youjian's previous punishment of those corrupt officials and rebellious parties, the punishment of Wei Guogong and Xin Chengbo this time is obviously lighter, at least not one person was beheaded.

Sun Chuanting and the others were relieved to think that it might be because of these two people that the emperor directly killed the hereditary princes of Xungui vassals.

They all stood up and saluted:

"Your Majesty is holy, long live my emperor!"

Zhu Youjian waved his hand:

"Don't think that I'm partial to them, I'm just looking at their ancestors fighting bloody battles for Daming, and it's said that Cao Zhengchun was ordered to go to Nanjing to carry out my will, and if anyone resists the order, he will be executed on the spot.

In addition, a decree was issued to the Ministry of Household Affairs to change the name of all Daming pawnshops across the country to Daming Bank, and immediately start the exchange of dragon coins. After three months, the whole country will use dragon coins uniformly, and silver will no longer be used as currency in circulation.

No one is allowed to boycott the exchange of dragon coins, and those who violate it will be punished immediately. All bank staff cannot add obstacles to the exchange of dragon coins for the common people for any reason.

If you find that there is an opportunity to exchange dragon coins for personal gain, you will be killed if you find that someone has taken the opportunity to sell and hype dragon coins, if you find that the bank has increased the exchange value of dragon coins, you will be killed if you find someone deliberately damaged dragon coins. "

Zhu Youjian's decree is tantamount to directly cutting off those black hands who want to exchange dragon coins for huge profits, and also protects the normal circulation of dragon coins.

"According to the purpose"

One after another imperial edicts were spread to various government offices in Daming, and they were quickly printed and distributed to various places. At the same time, the Daming Daily also stepped up its propaganda power so that the people could learn the details in a timely manner.

The feudal lords and nobles' mansions also received imperial edicts to cut feudal vassals and nobles one after another, like a thunderclap, which made all the feudal lords and nobles dumbfounded.

There was no sign beforehand, why did the emperor suddenly attack the feudal king and Xungui, and the feudal king Xungui who reacted sent people to inquire about the specific reason.

Soon the situation became clear, and it turned out that it was Wei Guogong and Xin Chengbo who did the crimes. The feudal lords and nobles hated Wei Guogong and Xin Chengbo to death, and hoped that they would die on the road to exile.

The number of people Zhu Youjian offended this time can be said to be unprecedented. Many feudal kings and nobles hated him deeply, and some even thought of rebelling.

But I thought that the rogue bandits, who claimed to be besieged by a million troops, were actually killed by the emperor, and the Eastern captive cavalry, who claimed that the Eight Banners were less than [-] and invincible, were also destroyed by the emperor.

They weighed their own strength, and felt that as long as Zhu Youjian was willing, he could just stretch out his hand and crush them to death. This made some thoughtful vassal king Xungui instantly discouraged and lose the courage to resist.

So they all looked at Duke Ying and Zhou Wang and other vassal nobles, wanting to see what they would do. If someone took the lead in resisting, these people would immediately follow and support them.

However, King Zhou of the United Kingdom did not make any movement at all, as if he had completely acquiesced in being cut down, which also made those nobles who still had some small expectations give up their resistance completely.

The prefect of Nanjing was also dismissed from his post because of his poor handling of affairs and his failure to report.

Zhu Yinxi, the governor of Jiangsu, was named and criticized by the emperor. If similar things happen again, Zhu Yinxi will be dismissed and investigated, and will never be hired.

Two days later

Duke Wei's mansion in Nanjing has long been in chaos. He thought he could resist the imperial court's opening of pawnshops in Nanjing and take over Daming's dragon coin exchange business in Nanjing.

But then there were rumors that Wei Guogong was not only deprived of his title, but his family members were also deposed as civilians, and Xu Jiujue was going to be exiled to Monan Mongolia.

This is undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the entire Duke of Wei's mansion, knocking them from heaven to hell in an instant. No one in the Duke of Wei's mansion can accept this result calmly.

Xu Jiujue was furious and smashed several valuable antique treasures one after another. His son Xu Hu was originally the future heir to the state.

This time not only Xu Jiujue will be exiled, but those who are usually high-ranking people in the Duke's Mansion will have to fend for themselves in the future, otherwise they will starve to death.

A high-ranking father-in-law suddenly became an ordinary citizen. The huge gap in his heart made Xu Hu more wronged and angry when he thought about it. He yelled at Xu Jiujue:

"Father, it would be better to die than to be tossed about by them like this, why don't we directly rebel..." Recommended reading ../../

Although Xu Jiujue was very angry, he still didn't dare to think about the rebellion. He was very clear about the emperor's methods now.

Hearing his son's rebellious words, Xu Jiujue suddenly glared fiercely:

"Ignorant boy, shut up for me. Can you say anything about rebellion? What do you rely on to rebel? Are you saying this to let the Xu family be wiped out?"

Xu Hu was still not convinced by his father's words:

"Father, I really can't stand the stately Duke suddenly becoming like this, I might as well die."

"Unfilial son, if you want to die, don't implicate the whole family."

Xu Jiujue was trembling with anger, even if he became a commoner, at least the family was still there, if he did something rebellious, once the emperor got angry, the Xu family would definitely not stay behind.

Xu Hu is a standard second-generation ancestor. He has almost walked sideways in Nanjing for so many years. Although he no longer speaks, he is still extremely unconvinced in his heart.

At this moment, a spy's voice suddenly came:

"The imperial decree has arrived, Wei Guogong Xu Jiujue has received the decree."

Following the words, a group of people entered Wei Guogong's mansion. The head eunuch held the imperial decree in his hand and looked at Xu Jiujue coldly.

After Xu Jiujue knew it, this imperial decree was definitely to exile him and Uncle Xin Cheng, although he was extremely reluctant, but for the sake of his family, he still knelt down to accept the decree.

"Minister Xu Jiujue accepts the order."

"Fengtian Chengyun Emperor, Zhao said: Cut off Xu Jiujue's Wei Guogong title and reduce him to a commoner, and he will be exiled in Monan Mongolia immediately. All members of the Xu family will be demoted to the people, and their ancestral property will be confiscated. They will be moved out of the Duke's mansion within three days. Here..."

Although he had been prepared in his heart, when the imperial edict came, Xu Jiujue still sat on the ground with weak legs and his buttocks. After years of painstaking efforts, he returned to before liberation overnight.

Cao Zhengchun looked coldly at Xu Jiujue who was in a daze, and said after a while:

"Xu Jiujue received the order"
