Chapter 522

As soon as the edict was read out, the people present shouted loudly and were angry.

Because in the past, they heard rumors that the imperial court wanted to apportion, and many people had fantasies that the imperial court could not and would not do so. It was killing the chicken to get the egg. It was just a man-made rumor with ulterior motives. After this incident, they died.

Chen Tongwen was so angry at Liu Yuanqiao and lost his face. He wanted to see if he could laugh when the edict came out? He waited to see Liu Yuanqiao make a fool of himself. Whether it was the other party's pale face, loss of soul, or angry scolding, his tone was out of order.

Who knows Liu Yuanqiao? After hearing the edict, he said: "God has the virtue of living well. Saints should rule the people with benevolence and forgiveness. Now the imperial court is fishing for the people. What is the livelihood of the people in the three Naifu? It's life disorder? I can't accept the edict."

According to the formal process, after the edict is read out, the minister must say: "the Minister receives the edict!"

If you refuse to accept, you must also explain the reasons. It takes a lot of courage and strength to return the imperial edict in the Ming Dynasty. You should know that the imperial edict represents the dual orders of the royal family and the imperial court, as well as their authority.

If you refuse to implement it, they will certainly punish you and kill you. Generally speaking, only those clean officials who are pure civil servants dare to refuse and return the imperial edict. Like Li Sancai, governor of Fengyang in those years, he has the reputation of the world and the full support of the Donglin Party, he dare to return the imperial edict and dare to satirize the emperor, But Li Sancai was a civil servant. The whole Donglin Party waved the flag for him, supported him behind his back, and looked at the generals of the Ming court, but no one dared to do so. Even if they were really unwilling to hand over so much silver, they might be able to follow the imperial edict first, and then a soft confrontation.

It is not unusual for a local governor like Liu Yuanqiao to return the imperial edict. However, Liu Yuanqiao is different from many governors. He is not an orthodox civil servant. He was born in Yinjian and unorthodox. Although he is the son-in-law of Yan Shenggong, he lacks the support of official Lin.

How confident must he be that he returned the imperial edict in public? You know, only those high-ranking literary officials dare to do so. They have backstage, reputation and singles. They are not afraid of the emperor. People like the Liu family should not dare to do so? Even the emperor thought that although Liu Yuanqiao would be very angry and angry, they would eventually hand in the silver, because their arms could not carry their thighs.

But he refused in public, not privately or secretly, but publicly and without hesitation.

Chen Tongwen was angry. He said loudly, "you are disobeying the imperial edict, but you know the end of disobeying the imperial edict."

Liu Yuanqiao said to him, "this is a disorderly life. I dare not obey orders!"

Chen Tongwen was very angry with him. He said, "reverse! Reverse! Somebody? Take down this madman who disobeys the imperial edict."

At the command of Chen Tongwen, all the royal guards in the same trade set out to take Liu Yuanqiao. You know, they have long been unhappy with Liu Yuanqiao. They are the soldiers of the royal guards and the son of heaven. Who knows that Liu Yuanqiao is not the same thing as them at all. Seeing that the other party is so arrogant and domineering, they have long been unhappy and just want to deal with him, Now he dares to openly disobey the edict in public, which is a capital crime.

These royal guards took out Xiuchun sabres together and prepared to jump on Liu Yuanqiao. Liu Yuanqiao remained motionless and didn't look afraid at all. This kind of bearing has the potential of Mount Tai collapsing in front of him without changing color.

At this time, an old man stood up and said loudly, "the governor carries the edict for my people in Dengzhou. We and other people should also stand up and protect the governor!"

The old man should be a local elder. At his command, countless people stood up in front of Liu Yuanqiao and protected him from royal guards.

Shao Junwen was very angry. He said, "it's against! It's against! You know, it's against the imperial edict, but it's a great crime to kill the nine families. Do you want to kill the nine families?"

After all, the current imperial court has great authority. With the authority of the imperial court, they can scare these people and make them dare not mess around. Often, with the prestige of the imperial court, they can scare these villains. Who knows that these people are not afraid after listening to it, but look back and move forward.

Especially the leading old man, he said, "I'm not afraid!"

The old man said so firmly, which made Shao Junwen curious. He asked, "why?" who gave you courage.

The old man strode forward and said to Shao Junwen, "because there are thousands of me and only one governor."

The old man strode forward and forced to the royal guards, and the people behind him followed him and strode forward without fear. These were more than a dozen royal guards with Xiuchun sabres, but they were scared back and forth. Although they were holding sabres, they had thousands of people.

Now even if Chen Tongwen is stubborn, he knows that Liu Yuanqiao openly disobeys the orders of the imperial court, and he has the backing of these tricksters. He doesn't have to be afraid of anything. He said loudly, "Liu Yuanqiao, you are coerced into tricksters against the imperial court."

Liu Yuanqiao said loudly, "there are no tricksters. Under my rule, there are only the people, not the tricksters. As long as you give them a bite, they are the people. If you don't give them a bite, they are roving bandits.

Liu Yuanqiao said what he said, which was completely dead. Chen Tongwen also knew that the other party was a local snake, with soldiers and power, and the support of these villains. If you didn't bird the imperial court, there was really no way to take him, so he had to say loudly: "what a Liu Yuanqiao, you are deeply favored by the emperor and the shepherd, and now you have done such a great evil."

After Chen Tongwen said these words fiercely, he waved his big hand and asked his men to leave quickly. He knew that if they wanted to forcibly take Liu Yuanqiao, which disobeyed the imperial edict, with dozens of people, it was impossible. These people alone could not win, let alone Liu Jiajun.

Chen Tongwen believed that although Liu Jiajun did not come out, they must be hiding in the dark. Once they dare to catch people, these people will rush out and kill them all.

The gentleman doesn't stand under the dangerous wall. Chen Tongwen knows this, so since the other party openly refuses to implement the imperial edict regardless of the face of the court, he will leave immediately. If he doesn't leave, will he wait for the other party to kill his flag?

When Chen Tongwen and his entourage came, they were like lost dogs, because countless people rushed over one after another. If they can't be kind today, maybe these angry people will kill them in public. Although it's like this now, these people look bad and take out stones and throw them at them, as if they were bad Like people.

Chen Tongwen was very angry. He thought, "I didn't expect Liu Yuanqiao to be deeply favored by the emperor and the son-in-law of Yan Shenggong, but he is so domineering and has no eyes for the court. If we sue the court, he will only die."

What will happen to the whereabouts of Liu Yuanqiao? Chen Tongwen will not think of it for a moment and a half, but there is one thing he thought of, that is, the emperor ordered him to make a decree. He actually screwed up the job. What should we do?

You know, the current emperor is a very powerful and ruthless character. He kills people who do not do well. Like those governors and ministers, he says he kills them, not to mention his eunuchs and slaves. He has not completed the proclamation. He gets back the silver from Liu Yuanqiao and makes people openly contradict the edict. If it is returned to the capital, it will lose the prestige of the imperial court, He can't get rid of it.

When Chen Tongwen left the gate of Dengzhou, he happened to see Lu Jiude returning from an inspection outside. If he saw the Savior, he quickly knelt down and said, "ancestor Lu, save me!"

Lu Jiude bowed when he saw the other party's head, but he didn't dare to accept it calmly. He even dodged aside. He said, "how dare you be the gift of father-in-law Chen?"

In fact, in terms of his real identity, Lu Jiude is more prominent than Chen Tongwen both inside and outside the palace. You know, after all, he is a person trusted by the emperor. He is also sent out by the emperor to supervise the army. He has done a lot of beautiful things and made a lot of money.

His contacts in the palace are also very good. No matter what the ranking is, he is higher than Chen Tongwen. Of course, he can afford the courtesy of Chen Tongwen. He doesn't dare to accept the courtesy of the other party. He knows that after receiving the courtesy of the other party, he will make a beam for the other party to deal with the Liu family.

Although Lu Jiude is a eunuch in the palace and a military envoy sent by the emperor, he cooperates with the Liu family. He knows that he is nothing when he leaves the Liu family. He is sent to Liu family. He can't control each other, and he has to live by the breath of the other party. If the other party doesn't bird him, he is nothing.

Now Chen Tongwen is here to make a shit stirring stick. He will only drag himself down by following each other.

Chen Tongwen burst into tears. He said, "if you don't save me, no one can save me."

Lu Jiude hurriedly said, "father-in-law Chen is serious. You should know that there are many people who can save you. It must not be Lu. Lu has official business, so I'll leave."

He Lu Jiude was also treated courteously here in the Liu family. He ate well, lived well and was very happy. He was unwilling to fight against the Liu family, especially offending the Liu family for a rich and powerless fool. It was not cost-effective in any way.

Lu Jiude knows all the calculations of the imperial court and the emperor, but he understands that this is the daydream emperor. The east third house is rich, but there are few places where Daming has money. Why doesn't the imperial court go to other places to make money and come to the east third house? Is it easy to bully the east third house? If the imperial court can do so, he should go to other places to collect taxes immediately , are you afraid that you can't collect money and food from those officials?

Others will think that Liu Jiajun is easy to bully. Only Lu Jiude knows that Liu Jiajun is a fierce tiger. You'd better not provoke him. If you provoke it, you'd better hide far away. Now someone provokes them and leans on himself. Naturally, he doesn't want to.
