Chapter 215: It is better to believe in the sky than to believe in me

"Long live my emperor!"

Hearing this sentence, the Cui family was confused, Mo Sheng was confused, and Liu Shiqing was confused.

Liu Shiqing was the first to react, and instantly knelt on the ground, shouting: "I don't know that Your Majesty has been to the far county in person. I have lost etiquette these days. I hope Your Majesty will punish you!"

"Get up!" Zhao Yan said lightly, his expression showed his emperor's demeanor.

At this moment, Mo Sheng was so regretful!

Originally, the Cui family's resistance to the new policy had nothing to do with him. He was involved later, but now he has become the main culprit of the county government. Not to mention that the official position is not guaranteed, his life may be lost!

The Cui family was even more shocked.

Tonight, they were committed to the murder of the emperor.

The century-old Cui family has been completely finished.

Cui He glared at his eyes and fainted on the ground. The other Cui family members were all looking dead and had no expectations.

Zhao Yan yawned and said, "Xiao Wencheng, I will leave the next thing to you. Everything will be done according to the Great Zhou law. You cannot be sentenced lightly, nor can you affect innocent people! Then, you must spread this matter and let those who resist the new policy see what the consequences will be if they maliciously resist the new policy!"

After saying that, Zhao Yan went back to the house to sleep.

"I obey the order!" Xiao Wencheng replied respectfully. He suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Mo Sheng just now. If he had not supported the new policy, he might have been imprisoned now.

Thinking of this, Xiao Wencheng couldn't help but take a breath and sighed that he had chosen the right direction.

Late at night, something extremely interesting happened in Xingyuan County.

The boss of the Cui family complained that Mo Sheng was greedy for Mo's money and beat him up.

Mo Sheng shouted for injustice and said that if it weren't for Cui Laosan's bad idea, he wouldn't have fallen to this level.

Cui Laosan became angry immediately and beat Mo Sheng up.

The patriarch Cui He was also very depressed and thought that this was Cui Laosan’s fault, but he thought it was inappropriate to beat his son, so with the help of his three sons, he beat Mo Sheng up again.

Liu Shiqing outside laughed so hard that he almost didn't make any noise when he heard this scene. When Mo Sheng was almost beaten to death, he quickly changed his cell.

...

The next day, in less than a day, Xiao Wencheng had investigated and dealt with all the crimes committed by Mo Sheng and others.

All the Cui family's property was confiscated.

The patriarch Cui He, the eldest son of the Cui family, and the third son of the Cui family, was the mastermind of the rebellion, and the Hou of Qiu asked for the execution.

The fifth brother of the Cui family was exiled to Qiongzhou and was a slave for life.

The prefect of Ganping Prefecture, Mo Sheng, was beheaded by corruption, bribery and other acts of corruption.

Fan Tianlong, a Fan family, was exiled to Qiongzhou after half of the Fan family's property was confiscated, and he was a slave for life.

...

As for Cui Mingzhi's family, under Zhao Yan's special care, they were left with a shop and a hundred acres of land, which was enough for the current Cui family to live for the rest of their lives.

In less than three days, the news that the Cui family, a century-old family, was personally destroyed by Emperor Zhao Yan of the Great Zhou Dynasty because they opposed the new policy, spread to other prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

This time, it can be said that it is a killing chicken to scare the monkey.

Many local officials who were lucky enough to say something and do something else, couldn't help but correct their attitude and began to seriously implement the new policy strategy.

Zhao Yan's identity has been leaked, so it is naturally impossible for him to stay in Xingyuan County anymore. He immediately returned to Changdan with his guards.

...

In a house, Cui Yanyan had already cried into tears.

Cui Mingzhi, who was standing beside him, comforted: "Yan'er, that's the emperor today. It's not something we can afford. Our family has not been implicated this time. It's already his great kindness to you. Let's think about how to live our future life!"

Cui Yanyan wiped her tears and said, "Yes...but I just like him!"

"Oh!" Cui Mingzhi sighed and said, "It's my fault for being a father. If I asked you to learn more piano, chess, calligraphy and painting when you were young, instead of riding a horse and shooting archery, according to your appearance, maybe Your Majesty would still like you."

Hearing this, Cui Yanyan cried even harder!

"Bang!"

Cui, who was standing beside him, patted Cui Mingzhi on the shoulder and rolled his eyes and said, "Is there anyone who comforted his daughter like this? Your Majesty failed to marry her, because Your Majesty did not have such a blessing!"

As soon as Cui finished speaking, Cui Yanyan burst into tears and laughed.

Then, the whole family laughed out loud.

Zhao Yangang left Xingyuan County and an expedited memorial came.

The author is Xiao Jingye.

Xiao Jingye said that someone rebelled in Xichengfu, Jinzhou, and within five days, he gathered a total of tens of thousands of people, with a huge momentum, calling himself Hongya Army, and now he has completely occupied Xichengfu, and all the officials of Xichengfu have become prisoners.

The leader of the Hongya Army, named Hong Cheng'an, was a landed scholar and fortune teller. He issued a statement that the Hongya Army would not oppose the court, but only oppose the new policy. If the court stopped the new policy, he would be willing to disband the Hongya Army immediately.

There is a reason why Zhao Yan thinks it is quite strange when this person opposes the new policy and is able to gather so many people in such a short time.

"It hasn't rained a drop of rain in Xichengfu for nearly half a year."

Since the New Year, there has never been raining again in Xicheng, which has caused a very drought in the area. It is now early June, and it should have been the happiest time for the people to live, because the wheat has just been harvested.

However, the people in Xicheng are now almost unable to recover due to drought.

At this time, fortune teller Hong Chengan came out to speak.

He told the people that it would not rain in Xicheng because the new court policy angered God, so God used drought to warn the court.

At this time, the people believed that God really existed, and Hong Chengan was very polite, and even studied the reason why the new policy angered God from Zhao Yan's birth date.

The only thing that can be solved is to attract the attention of the court by rebellion.

After Hong Chengan proposed this idea, responders gathered because these people were almost starving to death. If they rebel, they could steal wealthy families and officials. Therefore, under such a background, Hongya army gathered nearly 10,000 people and had occupied all of Xicheng.

Now Xicheng Mansion is in chaos, like a nest of thieves.

After receiving this news, Yang Hong had personally led 20,000 Shen Ce troops to suppress it.

Rebellion must be suppressed quickly, and once it reaches a scale, it will be difficult to deal with.

The ancients respected God particularly.

In their perception, if they go against the will of heaven, they will inevitably be punished by heaven, and now His Majesty the Emperor is going against the will of heaven.

In the past few years, there has never been a drought for nearly half a year. By this coincidence, the people have believed that this is the retribution of God.

Only by stopping the new policy and writing a self-criticism can the emperor calm down God's anger.

Zhao Yan suddenly felt his head wide.

He is fearless when fighting with people, and it will be a little trouble if he fights with heaven.

He felt that he should use this matter to spread some common sense to the people, proving that God is completely unreliable.
