Chapter 419 Zhu Youxiao angrily denounces Qian Qianyi

??txv_?i??25fse?c?a?:?r????e@.?h??5??]0)?????? With his hands behind his back, his face was as deep as water. Because he had been reviewing memorials between desks for many years, he was a little myopic now and had to squint his eyes to see the mountains in the distance.\r

Qian Qianyi was hunched over at this time, standing next to Zhu Youxiao with fear, waiting for Zhu Youxiao's inquiry.\r

"Why did the young master of Java conceal the crime and not report it?" Zhu Youxiao asked.\r

Zhu Youxiao was very tired of this way of conducting equal etiquette and diplomacy for some unknown small countries. However, since ancient times, the civilization of China has been a hospitality country that reciprocates and exchanges. Therefore, Zhu Youxiao could not easily convince the entire Ming Dynasty to abandon the previous series of red tape that demonstrated the dignity of a great country but could not reflect the majesty of a great country. However, for Java, a barbarian country that owed the lives of countless people in the South China Sea, Zhu Youxiao had long reminded Qian Qianyi that there was no need to be too polite to such a country, and it would be best to be angry directly. The Ming Dynasty now needs a reason to start the war.\r

And now it happened that the young master of Java killed a peddler from the Ming Dynasty, which undoubtedly hit Zhu Youxiao's thoughts.\r

According to Zhu Youxiao's wishes, when encountering such an emergency, Qian Qianyi should immediately contact the people from the Wucheng Military and Ma Si to arrest the young master and submit it to himself immediately, instead of directly suppressing the matter now, it even led to a conflict between the government and the people.\r

With the emergence of new media such as newspapers and magazines and Zhu Youxiao's intentional promotion, the concept of nation and country has gradually been strengthened among the people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, at this moment, any incident that provoked the dignity of the Ming Dynasty will attract the attention of the people at the bottom and may even directly cause trouble.\r

This Java country was directly regarded as a typical negative propaganda by the Daming Daily, which had already made the Ming people hate this country so much that they gritted their teeth. Therefore, when they learned that the young master of this Java country killed the people of the Ming Dynasty, it caused a thousand waves, causing huge responses among the people in Beijing.\r

Some people gathered to cause trouble and even surrounded Shuntian Prefecture's yamen, including students from the Imperial College and candidates who went to Beijing in advance to prepare for the exam.\r

However, because Zhu Youxiao had previously punished members of the resumption of the society, the stupid officials of Shuntian Prefecture thought that they could still use violent means now, so they directly used soldiers to beat and drive away these troubled scholars and civilians, and even killed several people.\r

As a result, the situation further escalated, Zhu Youxiao was unable to let this group of officials continue to make trouble with his original intentions, and directly used the Dongchang to beat Shuntian Prefecture and expel the officials who made troubled people and brought them to the imperial prison, and asked Li Mingrui to immediately receive the troubled people and appease them.\r

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao directly ordered Yang Sichang to call the Imperial Guards stationed in Beijing with his own order and immediately surrounded the Siyiguan. The reason for directly using the army was not to say that these foreigners were not to be able to be arrested with the army, but to show them to the people of the capital, and the court took this seriously.\r

Qian Qianyi, the highest-level official who was responsible for receiving foreign messengers and directly caused the escalation of the situation, was also directly summoned by Zhu Youxiao to the palace.\r

Qian Qianyi wiped the sweat from his forehead, and didn't know how to explain it for a moment. He didn't expect this incident to cause such a situation, so he couldn't help but tell the truth: "This happened too suddenly. It is reported that the young master angered the vendor because he teased the vendor's wife. The vendor seemed to have beaten the young master first, and forced the young master to draw his sword and stab the vendor's sword. When the soldiers of the Five City Military and Ma Si arrived, the vendor had already died of excessive blood loss. I thought about the matter involving the foreign crown prince, but only an ordinary citizen died. In order to avoid unnecessary disputes between the two countries, I dared to take charge and suppress the matter first."\r

"Qian Qianyi!"\r

Zhu Youxiao suddenly turned around and angrily shouted Qian Qianyi. Qian Qianyi was so scared that he knelt on the ground: "Please give a reprimand to you!"\r

"I ask you, are you the chief minister of Java or the chief minister of my Ming Dynasty? The life of a small foreign crown prince is more important than the lives of my people! Who taught you this truth! Saint Kong or Saint Meng? I have already ordered the Ministry of Justice to add extraterritorial legal power to the Ming Dynasty. The governor of Guangdong and Guangxi Shang and Zhou Zuo can still kill the Count of Bolangji Turiya. You are the chief minister of the cabinet, who has not even had such courage?"\r

Seeing that Qian Qianyi was kneeling down, Zhu Youxiao saw that his attitude of admitting his mistake was too sincere, and his anger dropped by seven points, so he said, "Get up first, I should have thought of it long ago. How could a person like you have any blood? Well, I will give you a chance for now and immediately take my order to arrest the young master of Java at the Siyi Pavilion, and you will personally take him to Caishikou, and you will behead him in front of the scholars and people in the capital. If you can't do it, I will let Li Mingrui do it. Then you don't have to do it anymore."\r

After hearing what the Emperor Zhu Youxiao said, Qian Qianyi suddenly felt like a giori exploded on his head. He didn't expect that His Majesty would let him personally kill the young master of Java, and even threaten him with the position of the chief minister of the cabinet.\r

Just as he had to be forced to burn Donglin Academy by the Emperor Zhu Youxiao, Qian Qianyi, as a scholar and literati, would have to commit suicide to fulfill Zhu Youxiao's will.\r

This was a very difficult task for him, because he had never even killed a chicken in his life, let alone a human.\r

However, the reason why Zhu Youxiao forced Qian Qianyi, a sour literati who could only use his pen, to kill the crown prince of Java was not really necessary to practice Qian Qianyi's courage. However, Qian Qianyi, as the chief minister of the cabinet, asked him to personally take action to kill the crown prince of Java, undoubtedly had the greatest effect on appeaseing the scholars and causing shock in Java.\r

Qian Qianyi did not understand Zhu Youxiao's profound meaning. In his opinion, His Majesty asked him to do this just to make himself show a tough attitude.\r

In order to maintain his position as chief minister of the cabinet, Qian Qianyi gritted his teeth and replied: "I obey the order!"

The crown prince of Java was sitting in the Sierra Pavilion eating fruits at this time. He was not nervous about killing the Ming peddlers at this time. When he saw that the Sierra Pavilion was surrounded by people with noisy feelings, he said to Chen Yuting, Minister of the Honglu Temple, without any regard for it: "Mr. Chen, Xiao Wang, I came to your Ming Dynasty to meet your Emperor of the Ming Dynasty. What's going on now that I'm blocked by a group of inferior people? Is this how you treat foreign envoys?"

"It's all the little prince, don't blame me, it's because we want to do this, but the people outside are too good at making trouble and we can't suppress it," Chen Yuting, the Minister of the Honglu Temple, explained with a smile.

"What's the fear of this? If you ask your officers and soldiers to kill him, you won't believe that these naughty people are not following the rules!" The Crown Prince of Java stepped on the table with one foot, and said with one hand holding his teeth that had just eaten big fish and meat.\r
