Chapter 277: Thousands of people worship the emperor

King Gui Zhu Changying was escorted outside Shuiyue Pavilion. He threw away the Nanjing Public Security Bureau, which was holding his arms, and was still looking up at the sky with a proud look.

Outside the Shuiyue Pavilion, countless men and women had gathered, and they all looked at the escorted vassal king with hatred.

Everyone present saw with their own eyes that the prince who claimed to be King Gui killed a few women just now. Although Feng Yue people have a low life, they are also citizens of the Ming Dynasty. However, this prince regards human life as a mustard of grass, and anyone who sees it will get bored.

But this man was a noble man of heaven and no one dared to touch them. However, the noble man who had just entered seemed a little majestic, and actually let the prince stop and was taken outside the house, which seemed to have been escorted out.

Just as the onlookers and the police in charge of the alert were guessing what the murderous vassal king would end, Zhu Youxiao also walked out and shouted, "What are you still standing there? Don't let him kneel down! Kill him!"

The word "death" shouted by Zhu Youxiao was not loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone present.

Dead!

Everyone couldn't help but exclaim. It was taken for granted by the people that the vassal king had always been wronged but could escape the law. Even if he was unwilling, he could only endure it. Who could make him a noble man? But who knew that as soon as the man came out, he directly ordered someone to kill the King of Gui.

The public security officials in Nanjing were already dissatisfied with the nobles who destroyed public order in Jinling City, so they quickly kicked Zhu Changying in the knee. Zhu Changying screamed and knelt down, staring at the person who kicked him viciously.

"cut!"

A public security officer raised his knife but couldn't do anything. He had an instinctive fear of such royal relatives.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't stand it, so he grabbed the knife and slashed at Zhu Changying. The blade was very fast. Before Zhu Changying could scream, his head rolled to the ground. Everyone present was shocked, but at the same time he felt a special feeling in his heart.

In the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were beheaded directly when they killed people. This was the first time, but it seemed to calm the resentment accumulated by the people towards the vassal kings for hundreds of years. In an instant, people seemed to realize that the Zhu royal relatives were not able to escape the law, and there was still justice in the Ming Dynasty!

Everyone present glanced at Zhu Youxiao's awesome glance. In their opinion, the person who could directly kill the vassal king immediately because of the murder of the vassal king must be a great official like Bao Zheng, and some people have already started to applaud.

But at this moment, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "I recognize who he is, he is my Emperor Ming! That day, when His Majesty sacrificed to Taizu, I was also on duty there. I happened to see him, His Majesty the Emperor Ming who was exempted from our corvee!"

Before this, due to the slander and destruction of civil servants and gentry, and the intensification of social class contradictions, the people did not have much affection for the emperor Zhu Youxiao, but now, because Zhu Youxiao was exempted from corvee, it gave the people of the world a real benefit.

In addition, the publicity rights have been transferred to Daming Daily, so under the publicity of Daming Daily, the people's gratitude to Zhu Youxiao is now unprecedentedly improved.

After all, for thousands of years, even Emperor Tang and Song Zu had never directly exempted the world from labor service, or permanently exempted it. This move can be regarded as an unprecedented act of a wise ruler.

As a result, the people also had a great sense of identity with the Ming Emperor. When they heard people say that the person in front of them, and more people pointed out it out, the people around Shuiyue Pavilion knelt down and kowtowed to the ground consciously, shouting: "Long live!"

More and more people came to kneel down upon hearing the news, thinking about whether they could see the sky; even the people on the boat knelt down and looked up at their heads, wanting to see what the emperor looked like, and accidentally fell into the river.

The sound of shouting long live echoed like a huge bell and drums throughout the Qinhuai River. Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile. He didn't expect that so many people would love and respect him. But while smiling, Zhu Youxiao also felt a little embarrassed. After all, this is a place of fireworks. If someone mistakenly thought that coming to this place of fireworks, it would probably have a bad impact. After returning, Zhang Dai, the chief editor of Daming Daily, would immediately publish the tonight's incident overnight to explain the truth so as not to be misinterpreted.

However, the people from Dongchang are around like facing a great enemy. Although His Majesty the Emperor can travel around everywhere at will every day, the risks they face behind their backs are not the same. It can be said that they are facing the danger of being assassinated every day. When there are many people in this kind of crowd, it is easier for ill-behaved people to do evil things.

Carefulness and caution are the business of Dongchang, but as an emperor, Zhu Youxiao had to be calm, especially when he was praised by many people and could win political reputation, he had to be more calm and friendly as a leader.

"Please come up! My Ming Dynasty ruled the world with filial piety. Since I am the king and father, you are all my people. Today I am respected so much. I am really happy that as long as my Ming Dynasty is harmonious with the king and the people of my Ming Dynasty and the father and son are united, I will not have any hope of revival!"

Zhu Youxiao left and said a few words, and personally helped an old man up. Dongchang Fanzi hurriedly followed him and leaned forward, ready to act as a shield for Zhu Youxiao, blocking hidden weapons and swords and guns.

However, it was a false alarm after all, Zhu Youxiao was still waving to these people with a spring breeze on his face, and some people were so excited that they started to cry.

But when Zhu Youxiao was about to leave, it was found that the entire Jinling City was already empty, while millions of people had gathered around the Qinhuai River, and all the roads were blocked. Looking around, people were beckoning Zhu Youxiao on the windows, alleys, ships, and even on the roofs, treetops and masts, there were people waving to Zhu Youxiao or shouting the word "Emperor".

Zhu Youxiao did not feel depressed because of this. On the contrary, he gained an unprecedented sense of satisfaction and excitement. At this moment, he understood what justice means to be in the hearts of the people. In the court and among the gentry, he saw their dissatisfaction and hatred, and in front of these simple people, he saw affirmation of himself.

However, King Zhu Huakui of Chu felt quite uncomfortable. King Gui Zhu Changying was a close royal relative of Zhu Youxiao, and like himself, he agreed to all the unreasonable requests from Zhu Youxiao, but he was directly executed for killing several firework women, even in front of so many people.

It was just to prove to the people that he was a good emperor who enforced the law fairly, but he directly killed his uncle for this. He was really a cruel person!

This was Zhu Huakui's most sincere feeling at this time. He couldn't help but remember what Ruan Dacheng said to him, that is, these vassal kings were obstacles that the emperors must eradicate, so no matter whether they are obedient or disobedient, they would not end well.

When he saw so many people kneeling down to Zhu Youxiao in this way, King Zhu Huakui of Chu was also more envious while fearing and disgusting Zhu Youxiao. He couldn't help but secretly fantasize about whether he would be the emperor in one dynasty, would he be like this?
