Chapter 2688 Terrified

"Who knows, I'm in the city anyway, go check it out!"

Everyone flocked to the street to watch the excitement.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

The people from the Military and Horse Division of the Five Cities were beating gongs and shouting: "When generals enter the city, and there are people waiting around, please avoid them quickly. If you startle the horses and cause trouble, you will bear the consequences!"

Da da da!

There was a sound of horse hooves, and a group of military generals galloped towards us on horseback in the distance. Although they had slowed down, hundreds of horses roared towards them, which still made the people in the city feel the pressure coming from the mountains, and they were so scared that they hid one after another. Under the eaves.

Behind the hundreds of cavalry were the generals' personal soldiers, who were more than ten times more numerous than the generals. At a glance, you couldn't see the head at all. You could only see the black armor, hear thunderous shouts, and sabers. The clang sound of the collision with the armor is truly majestic and extremely scary!

The people from the Wucheng Military and Horse Department knew that everyone was afraid, so they sent soldiers to explain to the people watching the excitement along the way: "There are too many generals, and they must be inspected one by one before they can enter the city, the imperial city, and then the palace. These three rounds The inspection took too long, so His Majesty gave the order to let the generals stay in the city for one night. After passing two more inspections tomorrow, they can enter the palace for a big banquet. Otherwise, let the generals come in tomorrow and the banquet is over. The inspection hasn’t been completed yet.”

And this is only one of the reasons, there is another more important reason... Ning Ji gave Wei Qi advice and asked Wei Qi to order the generals to lead troops into the city to scare the wealthy families. When they know how powerful they are, they will I vomited out my family property so happily.

Wei Qi thought this strategy was very good, so he ordered the generals to lead the troops into the city in advance.

The people from the Wucheng Bingma Division said again: "The generals and soldiers will go directly to the barracks of the Wucheng Bingma Division and will not stay outside. You don't have to worry!"

"That's good." After hearing this, the big guy felt relieved and began to praise the generals: "Look at the majesty of the generals. It would be great if I could have a general in my family!"

"Old Liu, your family is just a hard worker sweeping the streets, and you still want to be a general? If your family can produce a general, my family will be like a marquis!"

"Ah, Tan Liu, you're the one who knocked down Ye Xiang and you still have dreams about the Marquis. Are you crazy? Go home and catch up on your sleep. Otherwise, you'll be sleepy and take a nap at night. You won't be able to hold Ye Xiang's car. Be careful of the Ye Xiang. All of you!"

Because the military general led his soldiers into the city in advance, half of the capital became lively.

After the generals and soldiers entered the barracks of Wucheng Bingmasi, many people waited outside the Wucheng Bingmasi yamen for half an hour. After they didn't see them coming out, they went home relieved.

But the soldiers were so evil that many people in the capital could not sleep well that night, especially the wealthy families. They remembered what their elders said that when Emperor Jingwu led his troops into the city, he killed all the dead soldiers in the family. The nursing department was mobilized and guarded the mansion all night.

He also asked the girl at home to dress up as a servant's child, and spend the night in the servant's room, accompanied by her nanny.

However, one night passed and nothing happened.

The aristocratic families breathed a sigh of relief, and after this night, they also figured it out. They no longer felt sorry for the 50% of the property, and were no longer angry that the secret property was exposed... What's the use of being angry? Can he still defeat the Wei family army?

Therefore, they decided to sacrifice their lives according to what Ning Ji said.

Boom, boom, boom!

As soon as Chenshi arrived, the big drum in front of the imperial city gate was beaten. The military generals led their soldiers out of the barracks of the Wucheng Army and Horse Division, and began to line up for inspection and enter the imperial city.

There were too many people attending the banquet. In addition to generals and soldiers, there were also civil servants, aristocratic families and noble families, families of great merchants, as well as elders and good people from the capital. There was a large group of people cheering, more than a thousand people, and it was so long. The team lined up directly from the Imperial City Gate to a mile away.

After a thorough inspection and entering the imperial city, it was already noon.

Qin Sanlang and the others set out for the banquet after lunch. At half past noon, they also entered the imperial city and arrived at the imperial garden.

One hundred and twenty tables have been gathered here. Red silk has been tied on the trees and flowers in the garden, and large and small lanterns have been hung. Musicians played melodious music. On the high platform facing Zhengyang Lake, there are many people A group of dancers were dancing barefoot, and many ministers would stop near the high platform to watch the dancers dance.

Next to the high platform, there is a long platform for drinking wine, which leads the water from Zhengyang Lake into the platform, passes through the small rockery on the platform, and the lotus made of red silk winds down from, and then flows back and forth in the platform.

Beside the flowing wine table, there were already many civil servants and princes sitting on the floor, playing the game of meandering flowing wine cups... At a glance, it was a scene of joy and celebration.

At noon, the drums sounded loudly in the Imperial Garden, and the Imperial Forest Army escorted Wei Qi to the Imperial Garden.

The eunuch shouted: "Your Majesty has arrived, all the ministers will kneel down to greet you!"

Everyone immediately knelt down and shouted three times: "Greetings to Your Majesty, may your Majesty be blessed, may David live forever!"

The elders were all from ordinary families, and they had the advantage of longevity and were able to enter the palace for banquets. Although they had been taught etiquette by the eunuchs, they were very panicked now. They looked around and asked the eunuch: "Your Majesty, sir." Here we come, what should we do, what should we do?!"

There was also a man who rolled his eyes because he was so excited and almost fainted. The eunuch hurriedly supported him and called to the waiting doctors: "Quick, show Mr. Wang a quick look. You can't..." Die!

You are here to protect David's long-term blessings, and to use you to demonstrate His Majesty's benevolence. If you die in the palace, there may be rumors that His Majesty is unkind and David is about to die!

The imperial doctors rushed over to treat him and finally calmed down the excited elder.

The eunuch wiped his hands with cold sweat and begged: "Elders, don't be afraid. Your Majesty is a benevolent king. You just need to kneel down and worship with me."

After saying that, he started to kneel down, looked at the elders, and said like a child: "Follow the slaves, come here."

"Hey, hey, yes~" The elders were too old and were trembling. It took them a while to kneel down.

Two of them slipped on their feet and sat down on the ground with a thud.

The little eunuchs hurriedly helped them kneel down and asked them to shout the same words as the ministers.

However, an elder said in fear: "The ministers are officials, but we are not. If we call ourselves ministers, will our whole family be beheaded?"

As soon as these words came out, the other elders were frightened to death, and two of them rolled their eyes and almost fainted.

The eunuch who was responsible for taking care of them wanted to die, and said quickly: "No, no, today is the day when His Majesty is giving a banquet to the ministers. No one will be killed, but you can't say any bad words to hurt His Majesty. It’s a celebration... Caomin, just change your name to Caomin, come on, come on, shout quickly.”

If you keep grinding, there will be a banquet over there!

"Yes, yes, yes~" The elders shouted to meet His Majesty. By the time they finished shouting, the ministers had already taken their seats.

Wei Qi took the opportunity to announce three imperial edicts.

The first is: "Give pardon to the whole world, and let all people in the world rejoice with David!"

The second is: "In November, we will open the Ming Dynasty Department of Arithmetic Science, Ming Dynasty Classics Department, and Ming Ming Law Department to select talents for the six departments!"

The third is: "Open Enke next year and elect capable ministers for David!"

As soon as the three imperial edicts came out, the ministers knelt down again and shouted three times: "Your Majesty is wise!"

The Situ family, the Kan family, and the Ran family took the opportunity to say: "Your Majesty, I also want to do my part for David and the people of the world. I want to donate 70% of the family's property, both light and dark, to the national treasury!"

As soon as these words came out, all the wealthy families were furious... These three traitors gave up 70% of their property without even saying hello. They were not only treacherous and shameless, but also extremely stupid!

Wei Qi was very happy and praised them: "The three dear friends are really righteous. With the property contributed by the three of you, many people in the world can live a prosperous life. I thank you on their behalf."
