Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 30

Zhu Qiyu took the confession, glanced at it casually, and then laughed.

Sure enough, the officials and officials protected each other, and the confessions recorded by the third division avoided the most serious and trivial, and the crimes of the ten people were stuck to the point where they were just enough to execute the death penalty.

The third division also knew that the death penalty was inevitable, but he was resolutely unwilling to carry out Zhu Qiyu's request to ransack his family and exterminate his family.

Surprisingly, Zhu Qiyu did not raise any doubts, and directly ordered the cabinet and the supervisor of rituals to go through all the procedures, and then immediately executed the death sentence.

Seeing this, all civil and military officials breathed a sigh of relief.

The crime of treason, which was ransacking the family and exterminating the family, was finally reduced to an ordinary murder case where ten lives were replaced by one life.

After half a day of tossing, no one wanted to provoke Zhu Qiyu any further.

Therefore, no matter whether it was the officials involved in the siege, or Chen Xun and other important officials, they stopped arguing and acquiesced to the result.

After Wang Hong and others finished writing the suicide note, ate the meal, drank the wine, and cried goodbye to the officials, they were pressed on the bench by the guards.

Liu Chang asked Zhu Qiyu for instructions: "Your Highness, everything is ready, do you want to execute the sentence immediately?"

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Liu Chang, your military management ability is really good, in just one day, your personal guards can order and stop, and you will not mess up when you are in danger.

Work hard, your future will be limitless.Now, you can personally give Wang Hong a ride, which can be regarded as my respect for him. "

Heh, this time Liu Chang was held back, so he could only follow Zhu Qiyu all the way to Hei, and he couldn't turn back from then on.

Cheng Jing and Liu Chang looked at each other, they were really brothers and sisters.

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, and the execution began immediately.

In the square, the sound of screams suddenly came and went, making every minister who was watching the execution startled and turned pale.

Dozens of ministers had already suffered from the cold, but at this moment they were frightened again and passed out one after another.

Fortunately, Liu Chang had already ordered his subordinates to use more force during the execution in advance, so as to give these ministers a good time as much as possible.

So not long after, the rod punishment was over, and the ten ministers were silent.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and ordered: "Xiaoshou, hang the head on the city wall to show the public, as a warning to others."

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials were anxious, and they all knelt on the ground to persuade them.

Zhu Qiyu turned to the minister who was kneeling on the ground, and shouted angrily: "The 50 elites were wiped out once, and now my Ming Dynasty is in danger, not only do you not want to defend the capital and save the emperor brother.

On the contrary, relying on the fact that the eldest son of the emperor was young, he acted willfully and recklessly, and went so far as to kill the chief official of Jinyiwei at the court, and gathered a crowd to threaten the Prince Jianguo.This is ignoring the emperor, despising the queen mother, and blatantly trampling on the dignity of the royal family.

If you deal with it strictly in accordance with the law, all of you will be punished.The widow thinks that the national crisis is at the head of the line, and the matter is in a hurry to follow the power, so I will spare your life for the time being.

Now all of you accomplices will be demerited once, and you will not be promoted for three years.After welcoming back the emperor brother, the widow will explain exactly what happened, please continue to pursue your crimes. "

All the officials were stunned when they heard the words: Wait for His Majesty to come back and continue to investigate?Ma Shun is Wang Zhen's confidant, and Wang Zhen is His Majesty's confidant, so when the time comes, will there be any traces?

Zhu Qiyu ignored these and continued: "From now on, Yu Qian will take over as Minister of the Ministry of War and Governor of the capital's soldiers and horses. The Ministry of War will quickly transfer King Qin's army to Beijing, and start preparing for war immediately."

At this time, Wang Zhi, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, hurriedly replied: "His Royal Highness, according to the formal procedure, the appointment of a minister must be recommended by the court."

Zhu Qiyu replied with a serious face: "There is no court push, from now on, all major military affairs will be decided by the widow.

From now on, you are responsible to the widow, and the widow is responsible to Your Majesty.

After welcoming His Majesty back, if His Majesty thinks that the widow has acted improperly and caused harm to the state affairs, then the widow should plead guilty on the ground and be executed.

If the capital is not protected, the widows will also die for the country and live and die with the capital. "

Wang Zhi wanted to say more, Zhu Qiyu said first: "If you are not convinced, you can come, come here, the seat of Jian Guo is here, whoever you are not convinced, come and sit.

You sit on it, you have the final say on military affairs, and you are responsible for all the responsibilities.

Whoever wants to sit in this seat, just step forward, and I will definitely not stop you. "

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhi couldn't say anything more.

Zhu Qiyu saw that the ministers stopped talking, so he smiled and said: "Gelao, Shangshu, Dali Temple Minister, Zuodu Yushi, follow me to the Compassionate Ning Palace to meet the Queen Mother. Let the others leave, and you are allowed to take a rest for a day , from tomorrow onwards, we will run at full capacity and prepare for the big battle."

A group of ministers hurriedly agreed, and hastily saluted and left.

Suddenly Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly again: "Oh no, I forgot something."

The ministers panicked and thought it was Zhu Qiyu who remembered the incident of wanting to show his head to the public just now.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Until the emperor's brother comes back, there is no need to go to court. Everyone should keep their own jobs, and if there is anything to do, just write the memorial."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Qiyu turned around and walked towards the Compassionate Ning Palace, Jin Ying, Xing'an and others hurriedly followed.

Arriving at the Palace of Compassion, Zhu Qiyu took Chen Xun and others to stand outside the palace, ordering Jin Ying and Xing'an to report first.

But after Jinying and Xing'an went in, they didn't come out for a while.

Zhu Qiyu didn't take it seriously, pulled too modestly, and asked with a smile: "Yu Shangshu, where are King Qin's troops?"

The bitterness in Yu Qian's heart, just now at Fengtianmen, everyone suffered a disadvantage, and only himself was promoted to an official position, which is simply outstanding.Even if you have to be promoted, you can change the time.The absurd prince, Prince Yi, has properly instilled a huge hatred for himself, and he is so wicked that he is smoking.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was still waiting impatiently for his reply, Yu Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and briefly explained King Qin's deployment.

When the two of them were almost finished talking, it happened that Xing'an came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace and invited everyone in.

Zhu Qiyu tidied up his appearance, brewed his feelings, and then led all his ministers into the Palace of Compassion and Ning.

As soon as he arrived at the main hall and saw the Queen Mother Sun from a distance, Zhu Qiyu ran to the Queen Mother in a panic, knelt down on the ground, kowtowed and cried bitterly.

Empress Dowager Sun had already heard Jin Ying explain the process of the court meeting in detail, and now she saw Zhu Qiyu crying and fussing, and she became even more impatient.Then he scolded softly: "Why are you crying, why are you crying, King Tan, you are so grown up, why are you still acting like a child, if you have anything to say, get up and say it."

Zhu Qiyu knelt on the ground and mourned: "The empress dowager has learned that the ministers have turned their backs. They ordered Ma Shun under Ou Sijinyi without any legal procedures. This is because they have no authority in the eyes of the empress dowager and wantonly trampled on the dignity of the royal family.

They felt that the 50 elites of the Ming Dynasty had already been exhausted, and that the 20 Wala iron cavalry would arrive in the capital in the near future. By then, the capital would not be guaranteed, and the collapse of the Ming Dynasty would be imminent.So the ministers no longer have Daming in their hearts, nor the Empress Dowager.

Queen Mother, the hearts of the people are scattered, and the situation is gone.The minister asked the queen mother to take the three princes to Nanjing immediately, and then called on the southern vassals and ministers to enter Jingqin.

The minister is willing to lead civil and military heroes to defend Beijing to the death, and live and die with the city.If Beijing is not protected, the minister should die to thank the world, please learn from the Queen Mother. "
