When the emperor comes to modern times, history collapses!

The three Han emperors went to court with great interest.

As a result, after waiting for a whole morning, there was no sign of a minister.

They were all thrown into jail by Lao Zhu.

The three emperors looked at each other.

Emperor Jing of Han shook his head helplessly and sighed, "What can we do? In this case, let's go. This empty hall is really a bit deserted and cold."

Emperor Xian of Han, Liu Xie, who was standing by, rolled his eyes and suddenly suggested, "Grandfather, why don't we just go to the prison to hold court? Maybe those ministers have something to say to us right now."

Upon hearing this proposal, Emperor Wu of Han replied unhappily: "If you want to go, then go by yourself. Anyway, I don't want to go to that kind of place.

If you go, please pass on a few words for me.

Ask them what they have done wrong, and it is best to tell the truth.

So as to avoid suffering physical pain again.

Rites are not given to common people, and punishments are not given to officials.

It did not exist in later dynasties.

The Jinyiwei brought by Zhu Yuanzhang are no pushovers. They are talents selected from more than 20 dynasties. They have professional training and practical experience, and each of them is a powerful figure.

No matter who you are, don't try to hide anything from them.

Confession is lenient, resistance is strict.

Otherwise, Old Zhu will kill all nine generations of their clan."

Liu Xie asked in surprise, "Ancestor, is it true that someone was exterminated along with his entire clan?"

Emperor Jing of Han laughed and replied, "Humph, more than nine clans! In the Ming Dynasty, if you commit a crime, even ten clans can be executed! By then, not only will the egg yolk fall apart, but the ground at home will also have to be turned over and sprinkled with lime to kill insects."

Liu Xie couldn't help but take a deep breath after hearing this, and muttered to himself: "This... This is too cruel, isn't it?"

Emperor Jing of Han gently patted Liu Xie on the shoulder and said earnestly: "Don't say such nonsense! Old Zhu is obviously a very amiable and kind person."

"Kind?"

Liu Xie looked at the ancestor in surprise, wondering if the history books he was reading were beautified.

In fact, our ancestor was also a ruthless person in history.

Emperor Jing of Han ignored Liu Xie's eyes and said, "The reason why you think he is cruel is because you have never thought about the problem from his perspective. Think about it, the common people who are living in dire straits are suffering from the ruthless oppression and exploitation of corrupt officials. How many people's land is forcibly occupied, how many people are sick but have no money to treat, and how many people are starved to death because they don't have enough food.

For these corrupt officials, they may think that the money they have embezzled or accepted in bribes is not much, but this tiny amount of money may very well be the lifeline for several or even dozens of poor families.

If the punishment for corruption is not severe enough and just a few years in prison is enough, corrupt officials will become fearless and there will be more and more of them.

Therefore, severe punishment must be used.”

After hearing this, Liu Xie stood there in a daze as if he had been struck by lightning.

Ever since he became a puppet emperor in name only, he had not handled government affairs personally for a long time, and naturally had never thought deeply about the intricate interests involved.

Liu Xie felt that the punishment was too severe for embezzling dozens of taels of silver and executing him.

Even Liu Xie felt that adding the "wan" at the end was a bit heavy.

Emperor Jing of Han spoke again and said, "In my place, if someone is found guilty of corruption, he will be severely punished. If the corruption exceeds half a year's salary, he can report to the King of Hell.

When you go there this time, you must learn from your uncle Zhu with an open mind."

Liu Xie nodded slightly and walked towards the prison with brisk steps.

I was curious all the way.

What is kind Uncle Zhu doing?

When we arrived at the prison gate, a pungent stench hit us in the face.

Liu Xie couldn't help but frown, but he still walked in.

As soon as he entered the cell area, his attention was attracted - he saw his brother-in-law being interrogated by Lao Zhu.

My brother-in-law hung his head, looked listless, and his clothes were tattered, making him look extremely miserable.

On the table in front of him were sheets of paper listing the charges, each one of which was shocking and horrifying.

"Occupied hundreds of acres of good farmland!" "Occupied dozens of houses!" "Bullying women and occupying good girls!"

These charges were like thunder exploding in Liu Xie's ears, leaving him so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth.

"Uncle Zhu, is this true?" Liu Xie asked tremblingly.

Old Zhu snorted coldly: "Why, do you still think that I tortured you into confessing on purpose?"

"Don't dare!"

"Hmph, I have no grudge against Tuta and we are not from the same era, so I don't have the time to frame him. The above are just a small part of it. I heard that you have accepted a lot of money from him. I advise you to hand it all over. Otherwise, I will beat you every time I see you." Lao Zhu said with a sneer.

Liu Xie could never have imagined that his brother-in-law, who seemed so righteous and caring towards him on weekdays, would have committed so many crimes.

Once upon a time, Liu Xie always thought that his brother-in-law was a kind-hearted person.

He often helps me secretly and gives me some money from time to time.

But now it seems that all this is just a hypocritical appearance.

Those so-called good-willed helps were probably obtained with ill-gotten gains.

Maybe some of the money was life-saving money that was forcibly snatched from some poor old man.

Thinking of this, Liu Xie felt dizzy and the beliefs and values ​​in his heart collapsed in an instant.

Originally, Liu Xie wanted to plead with Zhu Yuanzhang on behalf of his brother-in-law, hoping that he would be given a lighter sentence.

However, after seeing these irrefutable evidences of guilt, he found himself unable to open his mouth.

Even if he reluctantly opened his mouth to beg for mercy, he would surely be ruthlessly rejected, or even kicked out of the prison by Lao Zhu without mercy.

Time passed minute by minute, and under the guidance of Mao Xiang, they toured the prison.

The constant wails of pain seemed particularly depressing.

Liu Xie's face had turned as pale as paper.

He could no longer endure the torture and staggered out of the prison.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he suddenly squatted down as if he had lost his support, and his stomach felt churning.

Immediately afterwards, there was a violent vomiting, and filth sprayed all over the ground.

"Emperor Xian, after you've finished vomiting, let's go to Caishikou for a walk."

From afar, Caishikou was crowded and extremely noisy.

Many people gathered here like a tide, whispering and talking, as if they were all expecting something.

It turned out that there had been rumors that a group of corrupt officials would be executed here today, which attracted countless people to watch.

Soon, a criminal walked slowly onto the execution platform under the escort of the officers.

Liu Yue took a closer look and found that the man was a minor official in the city whom he had met several times.

At this time, bursts of noise began to be heard in the crowd. Many people recognized the minor official at a glance, and they were immediately outraged.

Some people shouted with their eyes wide open and teeth gnashing, "You dog official, you finally got yourself into this kind of trouble!"

Some people put their hands together and looked up to the sky, shouting: "God has eyes, and finally let us witness this dog official being beheaded in public!" Some even cursed at the official directly: "Dad, it was this damn dog official who persecuted you to death, and now he is finally going to lose his head!"

For a moment, shouting and cursing resounded through the sky.

As the emotions became more and more excited, some people even picked up stones and dirt at their feet and threw them at the official.

There was a loud "crackling" sound, and stones and dirt rained down on the official, who kept shouting, "Smash this bastard official to death!"

Liu Xie, who was standing by, was slightly stunned when he saw this. He couldn't help but say, "According to common sense, shouldn't this be eggs and rotten vegetable leaves? How did it turn into pebbles and mud..."

Mao Xiang raised his mouth slightly and sneered contemptuously: "Emperor Xian, you must have been fooled by those TV dramas. In reality, ordinary people can't even fill their stomachs, so how can they be willing to throw away vegetable leaves, let alone eggs.

Even during the Chinese New Year, being able to eat an egg is a luxury for many people.

I guess that among the ordinary people present here, there are probably not many who have eggs in their homes.

As for the TV series in Tudouwang’s mobile phone, just watch them for fun and don’t take them too seriously!
Haven’t you noticed that it’s clearly written at the beginning of every TV series – This story is purely fictional!”

At this time, there was a lot of people outside Caishikou.

A group of corrupt officials waiting to be executed lined up in a long, winding queue.

In order to ensure that these scum receive the punishment they deserve as soon as possible, Lao Zhu recruited two executioners overnight.

Even so, the continuous executions of corrupt officials made the two executioners so tired that they were out of breath, their hands and feet were weak, and they could hardly lift the swords in their hands.

Liu Xie, standing in the crowd, looked around and was surprised to find that the people around him did not show any fear on their faces. Instead, they applauded and cheered.

Looking at this scene, Liu Xie thought to himself: It seems that these people have long hated these corrupt officials, but have just had no place to vent their hatred.

Now the day has finally come. Even if the surroundings are filled with blood, he is determined to see the corrupt officials who bullied him in the past beheaded.

Liu Xie took a deep breath and stepped into the prison again.

I need to ask Mr. Zhu how to govern the country.

Old Zhu is very busy.

Soon, Zhu Di also started to get busy.

"According to the time, most of the maps around here should have been run. Xiao Zhu, why don't you go take a look?"

Zhu Ming nodded: "Okay, I'll go and observe the situation first."

Open the channel.

Zhu Ming came to a scout thousands of miles away.

"Shan Xiongxin, 38nd Battalion, 2th Reconnaissance Regiment, has met the Potato King!"

"Hey, the five tigers of Wagang in history."

Shan Xiongxin smiled awkwardly: "Potato King is too modest. At that time, he was ignorant and occupied the mountain as a king. Fortunately, Potato King guaranteed us brothers' lives. Otherwise, we don't know where he is buried."

"I can't blame you. Old Yang was a bit cruel back then. How's the situation on your side?"

"King Potato, this is Hanzhong, Zhang Lu's territory."

Zhu Ming scratched his head: "Who is Zhang Lu?"

Shan Xiongxin explained the intelligence he had obtained in detail.

"If they are not familiar with me, I don't think they are that powerful. Now find a suitable place nearby and I will bring them over."

"As ordered!"

After opening the passage, Zhu Ming returned to the villa first.

He took out his cell phone and searched for news about Zhang Lu.

A warlord who ruled Hanzhong area in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. He was said to be the tenth-generation grandson of Zhang Liang, Marquis of Liu in the Western Han Dynasty and the grandson of Zhang Daoling, the founder of Tianshi Taoism.

Zhang Lu was the third generation Heavenly Master of the Five Pecks of Rice Sect. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, he successively assassinated Hanzhong Prefect Su Gu and Sima Zhang Xiu, and then established his own regime in Hanzhong. He spread the Five Pecks of Rice Sect and called himself "Master".

He occupied Hanzhong for nearly thirty years, and later surrendered to Cao Cao. He was appointed General Zhennan, granted the title of Marquis of Langzhong, and was given a fief of 10,000 households.

Zhu Ming was a little surprised.

I didn’t expect Zhang Lu to be related to Taoism.

He is also a heavenly master.

"I don't think he knows any magic. After all, this isn't some high-level martial arts history."

A few minutes later, Zhu Ming disappeared from the villa.

Appeared next to Wan Chao Zhu Di.

"Xiao Zhu, what's going on? Where should we fight?"

Zhu Ming took out his mobile phone and opened the data he had saved a few minutes ago.

"I just went to Shan Xiongxin's place. It was occupied by Zhang Lu. Here is some information about Zhang Lu."

Wan Chao Zhu Di took the phone and looked at it.

"So it was him, but there isn't much information on your phone, much less than what's on Li Shimin's side."

"Li Shimin?" Zhu Ming was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Li Shimin of the Zhenguan period still had a lot of information about Zhang Lu.

Zhu Di explained: "It's not the Li Shimin of the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty, but the Tiance Li Shimin, the one who replaced the Jin Dynasty."

"So it was him. No wonder. I guess many people there have seen Zhang Lu himself."

Tian Ce Li Shimin is very close to the Three Kingdoms period.

It is normal to have a lot of information stored.

During the Five Barbarians' Invasion of China, Han people were killed and a lot of information was lost in the turmoil.

Wan Chao Zhu Di said slowly: "If it is him, he may be able to regain control without fighting."

Determine the target.

Zhu Ming opened the passage.

Not long after, an army of one hundred thousand appeared in Henning County.

Previously, Cao Cao controlled the Eastern Han regime and had no time to take care of Hanzhong, so he appointed Zhang Lu as the General of the Central Army to garrison the people and made him the governor of Hanning County.

Prefect's Mansion.

Zhang Lu was shocked and could not believe the news he had just heard: "What? A hundred thousand troops suddenly appeared in Hanning County. Where did they come from? Why didn't we receive any news before?"

"General, the other side claims to be the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Dynasties, and the rest is still unclear. As for how they appeared outside the city, I heard from some people that it seemed like they fell from the sky and appeared outside the city without any warning."

Zhang Lu sneered, he was the Heavenly Master.

Naturally, I would not believe in the heavenly soldiers and generals.

Guessing that the other party used some sleight of hand: "Falling from the sky? Impossible.

It should be Cao Cao's army coming from underground."

Think tank Yan Pu was stunned for a moment: "Come from underground?"

Zhang Lu nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "I heard that Cao Cao has formed an army specifically for the distribution of underground treasures, with professional generals of the Diggin Army and lieutenants of the Mojin Army. There are also some ancient tombs in Hanning County. It is not impossible to use the ancient tombs to directly appear outside the city from other places." (End of this chapter)
