The ruthless emperor in the late Ming Dynasty forced Chongzhen to abdicate at the beginning

Chapter 4
"Chen Jinyiwei Commander Luo Yangxing, kowtow to the Holy One!"

"Chen Jinyiwei commanded the same acquaintance Liu Yingxi, Qi Guochang, kowtow to the Holy One!"

"Chen Jinyiwei is in charge of the matter, Li Ruolian, Huang Fu, kowtow to the Holy Majesty!"

Qianqing Palace, East Nuan Pavilion, under the leadership of Jinyiwei Commander Luo Yangxing, the officials of Jinyiwei Hall paid homage one after another.

Outside, there were more than a dozen Jinyiwei Qianhu who were not qualified to come in to face the king. This time, the entire Jinyiwei, big and small, were summoned.

"Luo Yangxing, if I remember correctly, your grandfather Luo An and father Luo Sigong both once took charge of Jinyiwei, right?

And you yourself have been in charge of Jinyiwei since the beginning of your father's ascension to the throne. It has been more than ten years, right? "

Zhu Cilang sat behind the dragon case, and did not let the five people fall flat, but stared at Luo Yangxing with burning eyes.

At this moment, the five of them were a little nervous.

Seeing that the former His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, although young and immature, his tone and demeanor showed the majesty of the emperor, Luo Yangxing couldn't guess what he meant by his words for a moment.

But when the imperial power alternates, it is never wrong to express your loyalty first, so he worshiped: "The emperor's grace is great, and my family's family has been affected. I am grateful, and I am willing to die for your majesty!"

"Oh, really?"

"So you still know that the Luo family has been favored by the emperor, so why have you been in charge of Jinyiwei for more than ten years, but you only know how to corrupt the law, collude with insiders and outsiders, deceive the superior and the inferior, and confuse the saints?

Now that the enemy is in front of him, he does not hesitate to collude with the intruder, just to respond to the insider. Do you think that the Luo family can continue to enjoy the glory, wealth, and high salary when the intruder enters the capital? "

Zhu Cihong talked about the last dragon case.

I sneered in my heart.

Even if this Luo Yangxing used a little bit of care, the situation in Daming would not have fallen to this point.

Of course, this has a lot to do with Chongzhen's own meanness, ungratefulness, and suspicious personality, but Luo Yangxing later took refuge in the Qing Dynasty, and he still deserves death.

"Your Majesty, I am wronged. I am so loyal to Your Majesty and Daming. The sun and the moon can learn from each other. How dare you collude with the rebels and do such a rebellious thing?"

Luo Yang was frightened and frightened.

Originally, he thought that the little emperor summoned them to win people's hearts and stabilize the throne, but this posture was actually trying to move him.

It's fine for him to be corrupt and pervert the law, to collude with insiders and outsiders, and to lie to others, but he's not stupid, how could he collude with traitors?
The other four people were also shocked, knowing that today's matter might not be easy, they knelt on the ground and did not dare to move.

"Hmph! This is your autographed letter to Li Chuang. When we agreed to open the Xizhi Gate and bring the intruders into the city, the evidence is overwhelming. You still dare to quibble. Do you really think that I was easily fooled by you like the former emperor?"

Zhu Cilang picked up a letter on the side, and slapped it heavily on the dragon case.

"Your Majesty, I really didn't collude with that traitor Li Chuang. Someone must have slandered and framed me. I hope your Majesty will learn from you..."

Luo Yangxing saw that Zhu Cihong had a good nose and eyes, looked at the letter and sweated profusely, kowtowed desperately while defending.

I just thought who was planting the frame on him.

Zhu Cihong didn't have time to chatter with him, nor did he want to chatter.

With a cold snort, he said directly: "Come here, take the traitor Luo Yangxing, and his henchmen Liu Yingxi, Qi Guochang, Huang Fu, out to show the public!"

After speaking, eight Jinyiwei big Han generals rushed in immediately.

"Your Majesty, I have been wronged, it's none of my business..."

"Your Majesty, the minister is loyal to Daming and His Majesty..."

The other three looked innocent, they never expected that His Majesty would suddenly beat them into Luo Yangxing's henchmen, and shouted anxiously.

"Your Majesty, even if the minister is guilty, he should be handed over to the Ministry of Punishment for trial first..."

Luo Yangxing also did not expect that the little emperor would kill him on the spot without giving him a chance to defend himself.

It also did not expect that the little emperor would dare to cleanse the senior officials of Jinyiwei directly and wantonly in this critical situation just after he came to the throne.

The four of them had handed over their swords when they entered the palace. Even if they wanted to resist at this moment, they were powerless, and they were directly dragged out by the big Han generals.

Poor Luo Yangxing has been in charge of Jinyiwei for many years, and his connections and influences are all over the court and the public. Who would want to meet an emperor who doesn't follow the routine at all.

After directly declaring the crime, the killer was killed without a trial.

Wang Chengen on the side was also stunned by Zhu Cihong's decisiveness.

Li Ruolian, who was still kneeling on the ground, didn't dare to breathe, and was drenched in cold sweat.

Seeing the Commander and the three superiors being dragged out and directly beheaded, the more than ten Jinyiwei Qianhu who were waiting outside looked at each other with fear.

They all speculated, could it be that the Commander wanted to kill the king with three superiors just now?

This caused His Majesty to be furious and directly ordered someone to behead him.

But how is this possible?

"Li Aiqing, this matter has nothing to do with you, let's get back together!"

"Thank... Thank you, Your Majesty."

Li Ruolian got up tremblingly, and finally heaved a sigh of relief, he was really scared just now.

After all, even Emperor Taizu directly killed the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs without being in the harem.

"Now that the country is facing a crisis, the whole court is full of incompetent ministers. Even in the emperor's army, there are such chaotic ministers and thieves collaborating with rebels. It makes me feel heartbroken!"

"Fortunately, Li Aiqing has always been loyal, brave and honest. I am relieved. At this time of crisis, is Aiqing willing to die for me and Daming?"

"The minister will never give up!"

Li Ruolian knelt down and prayed, how dare he hesitate for a moment?
"it is good!"

Zhu Cihong left the dragon case, came to the front and helped him up personally.

If he remembered correctly, this Li Ruolian was the only high-ranking member of Jinyiwei who died in the battle after the intruders entered the city in history, so there is no need to doubt his loyalty.

This is the time to employ people.

So it was decided early in the morning to let him take charge of Jinyiwei.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to clean up all the senior officials of Jinyiwei, just to let him take control of Jinyiwei as soon as possible.

Li Ruolian was a little flattered to see His Majesty personally help him up.

The impact just now has been greatly reduced.

After all, he doesn't know whether the commanders have colluded with the rebels or not.

But being corrupt and breaking the law, and deceiving the superior and the inferior are real, and there is no wrongdoing or wrongdoing.

What's more, the king wants the minister to die, and the minister has to die!

"Li Aiqing, I will now make you the Zuo Dudu of the Dudu Mansion, the Crown Prince Shaobao, give Shang Fang the sword, and take charge of the Jinyiwei!"

"Your Majesty... I am terrified, how can I be able to..."

Li Ruolian was stunned. Although he guessed that His Majesty might want to reuse him, he didn't expect to use him so much.

"Hey! Aiqing don't need to underestimate yourself, isn't Aiqing unwilling to share my worries?" Zhu Cihong waved his hand.

"Your Majesty dare not, Li Ruolian, I wish to be crushed to pieces to repay Your Majesty's grace!"

Li Ruolian is just a small official of the fifth grade of Jinyiwei. It is a great kindness and trust to be in charge of Jinyiwei. What's more, he has also been named Zuo Dudu, Prince Shaobao, and given Shang Fang a sword. He was moved to kneel on the ground for a moment. Weep bitterly.

"Okay! You will not fail me, and I will not fail you!"

Zhu Cihong helped him up again, and said quite emotionally.

Still very satisfied with his reaction.

His biggest advantage is the identity of the Ming emperor.

It's a pity that his father's political level is really bad.

They only know how to argue with civil servants, but ignore the middle and lower classes who are really loyal to Daming, especially in this period.

Immediately, Zhu Cihong asked someone to call in those Jinyiwei Qianhu.

First, Wang Chengen was asked to read the crimes of Luo Yangxing and the other four, then Li Ruolian was appointed and sealed, and finally they were rewarded.

None of the more than a dozen Jinyiwei Qianhu households was left behind, and their grades were all raised by one or two levels, and they all gave their children the status of hereditary Jinyiwei Hundred Huhu.

Everyone is naturally grateful, even if many of them are Luo Yangxing's confidantes, they feel at ease at the moment.

This is also why Zhu Cihong chose to kill the four people directly.

Because once the four people are locked up for trial first and then sentenced according to the procedures, it will inevitably cause panic in the entire Jinyiwei, and everyone will be in danger and afraid of being implicated.

Coupled with the current situation, people are already panicked, which is likely to cause even greater turmoil.

When Li Ruolian left the palace, he took the three hundred Jinyiwei Dahan Generals and ransacked the four mansions.
