The first assistant of the poor family

Chapter 496
Zhu Chenhao showed an unbelievable look, he was sobbing desperately that the muscles on his face were almost twisted.

Xie Shen smiled and said: "You must really want to talk, don't you, then you have to promise not to swear."

Zhu Chenhao nodded desperately.

Xie Shen waved his hands at Lu Zhongtian and said, "Take off the socks for him."

I have to say that the socks are really stinky, I don't know how Zhu Chenhao endured it along the way
Lu Zhongtian tore off the socks from Zhu Chenhao's mouth, and Zhu Chenhao breathed desperately, as if breathing with his mouth was the happiest thing in the world.

Xie Shen looked at him indifferently, only feeling that this feudal lord was very pathetic.

"Okay, you have something to say. Just remember not to swear, or I'll put the socks back in and add another pair."

King Ning fell to his knees with a plop, kowtowing like garlic.

"Master Xiaoge, thank you, please let me go. I rebelled because I was delusional. You can intercede with His Majesty on my behalf and let me go."

Xie Shen took a step back and said, "I can't help you with this job, and I don't dare to do it. You're trying to usurp the throne, and heaven forbids it."

Zhu Chenhao still didn't accept his fate, he jumped forward, hugged Xie Shen's thigh and started crying loudly.

"Master Xie, I know I was wrong. Let me do whatever you want me to do. If there is anyone in this world who can persuade Your Majesty, you are the only one. If you don't help me, I will really It's a dead end."

Xie Shen was extremely disgusted in his heart, he knew why he had done it before today.

He kicked Zhu Chenhao away, and said coldly: "You should save some strength and cry to Your Majesty. Don't worry, your life will not be in danger before you are escorted to His Majesty. As for Your Majesty's decision, it is not I can control it."

Zhu Chenhao cried even more when he heard this, the voice was really sad.

"It seems that you have nothing to say. Come here, put the traitor in prison and keep it under strict supervision."

"Order!"

Lu Zhongtian accepted the order with his hands clasped, and he beckoned to the two soldiers to set up Zhu Chenhao and drag him out.

"Wait a minute, stuff the socks for him, he won't be dehydrated after crying like this."

Xie Shen reminded kindly.

"Uh, I will obey orders at the end."

Lu Zhongtian suppressed a smile and put on the socks for Zhu Chenhao.

Zhu Chenhao's shocking weeping of ghosts and gods immediately subsided, and only a low sob could be heard.

After King Ning was taken away, Wang Shouren finally couldn't help laughing and said, "I didn't expect this high distance to be so bad, I came up with such a way."

"To deal with a bitch, you have to use bad tactics."

Xie Shen shrugged his shoulders and said: "Otherwise, do you want to hear him making noise all the way? Well, let's not talk about it, I want to escort King Ning to Yingtian Mansion earlier to wait for His Majesty to deal with it."

Emperor Zhengde originally stayed in Hangzhou Mansion, but after such a big event as King Ning's rebellion, Emperor Zhengde still moved to Yingtian Mansion under the persuasion of his ministers.

Firstly, the city walls of Yingtianfu are stronger, and the army is more elite and sufficient (the guards in Zhejiang Province are almost dispatched by Xie Shen), and secondly, Nanjing is the political center second only to the capital after all, with six ministries and nine ministers. Bureaucracies can emerge.

Although Zhu Houzhao was quite reluctant, he had no choice but to order to drive to Yingtian Mansion.

Xie Shen decompressed King Ning to Yingtian Mansion, and it is estimated that a prisoner offering ceremony will be arranged later.

Zhu Houzhao likes excitement the most, and he will be very happy for such a big scene.

The most important thing is that this is completely reasonable, even the trickiest civil servants can't find a reason to object.

After all, King Ning conspired against him, so it would not be an exaggeration to say that if he was offered a prisoner, he would be executed with a thousand swords and ten thousand swords.

"Siming, what should the crown prince do with this concubine in the palace?"

"Naturally, they all go to Yingtian Mansion."

Xie Shen said without hesitation: "I know that Brother Shouren was moved with compassion. The family members of King Ning are indeed innocent. But King Ning committed the crime of treason, and Brother Shouren should know that it is an unforgivable crime. They have to blame Just blame King Ning for not knowing what is good or bad."

Wang Shouren just said it in passing, and he also knows that conspiracy is not something that can be commented on at will.

Historically, rebellious vassals have been dealt with very harshly, and the Ming Dynasty was no exception.

If there is no exception, Zhu Chenhao's family will undoubtedly die, and his feudal kingdom will also be removed.

"The matter of sealing up and ransacking the house will be handed over to Brother Shou."

After Xie Shen said this, he shook his head helplessly.

Wang Shouren is just too kind, which is both an advantage and a defect.

If he can't get rid of this, it will be difficult to go further in officialdom.

Wang Shouren nodded and said, "Brother Siming understands what Siming said. Don't worry, I won't show mercy."

"Then I will escort King Ning's family to Yingtian Mansion first, and leave it to Brother Shou."

Xie Shen nodded in satisfaction.

He originally thought that Wang Shouren would decline the matter, but unexpectedly, he agreed without hesitation, and he really made progress.

"Well, then we shall meet again in Tianfu!"

Searching Prince Ning's Mansion will not work in a while, Xie Shen naturally can't wait any longer, and he is relieved to hand it over to Wang Shouren.

On the third day of September, Emperor Zhengde held a prisoner offering ceremony in Yingtianfu.

The prisoner presenting ceremony was very grand. The emperor sat in the Fengtian Hall, and all the civil and military officials lined up on both sides, just like a grand court meeting.

Speaking of which, the civil and military officials in Nanjing may have to thank King Ning.

Had it not been for King Ning's rebellion, Zhu Houzhao would never have come to Yingtian Mansion.Naturally, these senior officials who are idle for the elderly will not have the opportunity to enjoy themselves.

Even though they are all high-level officials, Yingtian Mansion's Shangshu Shilang is incomparable to Shuntian Mansion's.

Those are the favorite ministers who serve the emperor every day, what about them?I'm afraid I can only eat and wait to die.

In addition to the civil and martial arts in Fengtian Hall, there are two rows of Jinyi guards standing under Majesty Dan.

They were wearing brand-new flying fish suits, with shiny embroidered spring knives on their waists, their heads raised high and proudly.

"Bring the traitor Zhu Chenhao!"

As the imperial supervisor and eunuch Zhang Yong chanted sharply, Zhu Chenhao, who was locked in shackles, was pushed all the way through the Meridian Gate, Fengtian Gate, and arrived at His Royal Highness Fengtian in the Forbidden City of Nanjing.

A soldier kicked his knee hard, and Zhu Chenhao immediately fell to his knees in pain.

"Let him go!"

With piercing eyes, Zhu Houzhao issued this astonishing decree.

All civil and military officials stared fixedly at the emperor, thinking what is His Majesty going to do with this?There was no such link in the original plan.

They didn't know that Zhu Houzhao wanted to capture Zhu Chenhao personally, so they wanted to release Zhu Chenhao in front of Fengtian Hall.

Poor Zhu Chenhao was removed from the wooden shackles, the shackles were removed, and the shackles were thrown away, and the girl wanted to escape, but after running a few steps, he was thrown to the ground by the swarming captain of Jin Yiwei, and the shackles were put on again.

After all this tossing, the credit for capturing King Ning is now the present.

Xie Shen couldn't help but sigh in his heart, today he really knows how to play
If it were an ordinary king, he would definitely deal with it seriously when encountering a rebellion by a vassal king, and he would never laugh and laugh, with a mentality of watching the excitement.

The most important thing is that Zhengde completely regarded the prisoner offering ceremony as a game, and even played the trick of releasing them and catching them again.

But at a time like this, it's really hard to persuade.

Zhu Houzhao was in high spirits, and persuading him at this time would be like slapping the emperor in the face.

Of course, Xie Shen would not do such a thing in the second grade, even if he wanted to remonstrate with the emperor, it would have to be done in private.With the relationship between the monarch and his ministers, it wouldn't be a problem to say something a little too much.

Fortunately, the farce ended soon, Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao was captured again by the hands of the Son of Heaven, and all the ministers called His Majesty Ruiming, and the ending was happy.

A grand meeting full of joy came to an end, and the Ministers of the Six Departments of Nanjing obviously felt that it was not enjoyable enough, and persuaded the emperor to continue to stay in Nanjing for a while.

Zhu Houzhao naturally didn't like this.

Although Nanjing also has such a beautiful place as the Qinhuai River, it is generally a place with a very strong political atmosphere.

After all, it is the place where Emperor Taizu established his capital, so it is impossible to completely remove the political atmosphere.

And Emperor Zhengde happened to be such an emperor who was extremely disgusted with politics.

He likes leading soldiers and fighting, likes women, likes to eat, drink and have fun, but he doesn't like politics.

Xie Shen sometimes thinks that it might be the most suitable for Zhengde to be an honorable person.

But there are no ifs in history, Zhu Houzhao is the Son of Heaven and the co-lord of the world.

Zhu Houzhao naturally understands this, so he tries to avoid these preaching civil servants as much as possible.

After finally escaping from the capital and going all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, how could he take the initiative to throw himself into this evil cave of Yingtian Mansion?
Although the Qinhuai River is well-known, it is just a place for fans to put it bluntly. Compared with the Qinhuai River, it is not a place where the fans of Suzhou, Hangzhou, and Yangzhou gather.

Of course, the first thing to deal with is Ning Wang's family.

Even if Zhu Houzhao's nerve is strong, it is impossible to ignore this problem.

Right now, there are two choices, one is to execute King Ning's family in Nanjing, and the other is to escort them to the capital for punishment.

In this regard, the ministers launched a heated debate.

Most of those who supported the escort of King Ning's family to the capital for execution were important ministers who accompanied him to the south. Their reason was that the capital was where Zhengshuo was, and such important matters as the execution of King Ning would naturally be done in the capital.

Most of the courtiers who supported the execution of King Ning in Yingtianfu were officials who stayed behind in Nanjing.

Their reason is simple - long nights and many dreams.

It is a long way from Yingtian Mansion back to the capital, if something happens on the way, and Ning Wang's family run away, what should I do?

Of course, both parties are selfish and don't want the other party to take the limelight.

Even though the fight was just about where to execute King Ning, it actually turned into a fight between the civil servants of Yingtianfu and Shuntianfu.

Emperor Zhengde didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he simply called Xie Shen to ask his opinion.

Xie Shen pondered for a moment, then said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I think that King Ning's family should be executed on the spot."

Zhu Houzhao was quite surprised by Xie Shen's answer.

He wondered, "Why did you say that, sir?"

Xie Shen smiled and said: "Your Majesty's literary and martial arts skills are admired by all people. This time defeating King Ning's rebellion and punishing him in the Yingtian Mansion will achieve the best results. After all, King Ning's influence is mainly in the south. The people of Jiangxi have been oppressed by him for a long time. If he is executed in Nanjing, His Majesty can send someone to Jiangxi to relieve the hatred of the people of Jiangxi."

Zhu Houzhao clapped his hands and praised: "What you said makes sense, so I can make an order."

Emperor Zhengde had a vigorous and resolute temperament, and he would do things immediately after he decided.

He summoned Zhang Yongchao and gave him some instructions, and Zhang Yong respectfully brought silk cloth, pen, ink and inkstone to wait on him.

"Sir, let's draw up an order."

"The minister obeys the order."

The drafting of the decree should be done by the cabinet members. Now that Xie Shen happens to be by Zhu Houzhao's side, it is naturally the most appropriate for him to draft the decree.

Ever since, Zhu Houzhao dictated, Zhang Yong grinded, and Xie Shen drafted the decree, and the three of them cooperated very tacitly.

For Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao, Xie Shen did not have the slightest sympathy.

The historians have a very low evaluation of this King Ning, probably belonging to the type of Zhi Dacai.

It is such a prince who still feels that he is wise and powerful, and it seems that if he does not rebel, he will be sorry for his blood of King Ning.

Coupled with the instigation of some idiots around him, Zhu Chenhao really rebelled.

He also didn't think about it, how many troops can Jiangxi province support, and how many troops are there in the entire Ming Dynasty?

Even if Zhu Houzhao only mobilized the guard troops in three or four provinces, the officers and soldiers would drown King Ning's rebels by spitting.

In order to rebel, King Ning levied violent taxes in Jiangxi and competed with the people for profit.The people in Jiangxi were miserable, and they cursed Zhu Chenhao many times in their hearts.

Even such an unpopular prince wanted to follow the example of Emperor Taizu in seizing the country from south to north, but naturally he could only be reduced to a laughing stock.

It's a pity for his children, brothers and women.

From the perspective of modern jurisprudence, they are innocent.But this is the Ming Dynasty, the era when feudal imperial power was supreme.

In this era, the emperor is the sky, and seeking to usurp the throne is the greatest crime, which is absolutely unforgivable.

The so-called weeding must be eradicated. If Zhu Houzhao only executed King Ning, he might not be able to sleep well.

Only by taking advantage of this opportunity to execute all the lineage of King Ning and remove his feudal state, can Zhu Houzhao return to the capital steadily.

This is human nature, and it is easy to understand if you think about it in another way.

According to Zhu Houzhao's intention, the imperial decree was written, and Xie Shen presented it to him.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at it, confirmed that it was what he wanted to express, and waved his hands and said: "Zhang Yong, you can go to the Ministry of Punishment to pass the decree."

It stands to reason that it is not appropriate to execute a vassal in public, after all, the royal face must be taken into account.

But this time the situation is different.

Zhu Houzhao has cut off King Ning's title of vassal king in advance and removed his feudal state.

Now there is only Zhu Chenhao, a commoner, and there is no King Ning anymore.

Therefore, what Zhu Houzhao meant was to publicly behead Zhu Chenhao's family and abandon the city in the city.

Zhang Yong led the decree to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice in Nanjing to deliver the decree.

Zhu Chenhao's family knew that their death was approaching, and they wept loudly.Poor Zhu Chenhao's youngest son is only 12 years old, and he has to follow his father to die.I just hope that he won't be reborn in the emperor's house in his next life.

After Zhang Yong delivered the decree, the jailers immediately tied up Zhu Chenhao's family, pulled up their messy hair, inserted the sign of "judgment", and pushed them onto the wooden cart to the execution ground.
