The next day.

Fengtian Temple.

Morning.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

............

The ministers saluted and shouted.

Zhu Qiying was wearing a red dragon robe, sitting on the dragon chair, and said with a smile: "Zhong Aiqing, let's be flat!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The civil and military officials quickly stood up.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!"

The eunuch walked to the front and shouted.

"Your Majesty, the old minister has a performance. ”

I saw that Zhu Changming was wearing a brocade python robe, stood up from the throne on the high platform, walked to the center of the main hall, bowed down and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this time the Beijing division was besieged, and the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River refused to send troops to the king, and it was disrespectful to resist the decree and violated the holy will. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Changming took out a book from his sleeve, put his hands on his forehead, and said loudly: "This is the old minister's notebook, and there are officials at all levels in the eight provinces of Jiangnan who secretly colluded with the Jiangshui League, cholera people, etc., the ten major sins, please learn from Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Changming's loud voice resounded throughout the hall, making the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty stunned, and their faces instantly turned as white as paper.

Is the old prince going to do something to the eight mansions in the south of the Yangtze River?

A thought immediately rose in the minds of the ministers.

Half a month ago, the Beijing division was besieged, and the eight prefectures in Jiangnan refused to send troops, which they all knew in their hearts, but no one stood up and said something, not that they were disloyal, but it was useless to say it.

The eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have gradually escaped the control of the imperial court since the rebellion of a hundred years ago, and then with the rise of the Jiangshui Alliance, this change has been even greater.

Although it is still under the jurisdiction of the Ming Dynasty on the surface, it is not once or twice that the decrees of the imperial court are regarded as deaf ears, and the kings of all dynasties have a headache about it, and there is nothing they can do.

But fortunately, the eight mansions in the south of the Yangtze River have not completely escaped the control of the Ming Dynasty, and all kinds of taxes should be given, although it is a little less but better than nothing, and in the long run, the court will let it indulge, until now.

But what they never expected now was that the old prince actually raised this question in person today.

Now that the five northern provinces have been decided, they have not fully recovered, and they have to make a move against the eight provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, in case of counterproduction, I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm, but what strength does the current imperial court have to support the next big war.

It is impossible for the old prince not to see such a situation!

The ministers were a little worried in their hearts, and they couldn't understand what was wrong with Zhu Changming.

Dragon chair.

The corners of Zhu Qiying's mouth raised slightly, and she said seriously: "Present it." ”

When the eunuch heard this, he trotted down and brought up the fold.

After Zhu Qiying took the notebook, he opened it and read it, and when he finished reading it, he suddenly slapped the dragon case in front of him, which immediately startled the officials present.

"Dereliction of duty ......!"

"Abuse of power ......!"

"Corruption and bribery ......!"

"Fill your pocket......!"

"Cholera people ......!"

............

"What a Jiangnan Bafu, what a Jiangshui Alliance!"

Zhu Qiying directly threw the fold down, and then roared angrily: "You all look at what the governors, state pastors, and city lords and county commanders have done, I don't know if it's okay to be the master of the people, but I still act for the tiger, brutalize the people, and oppress the people, it's a bastard!"

"Your Majesty is angry!"

The ministers immediately knelt down in horror, trembling all over.

The anger of the Son of Heaven is not something that ordinary people can bear.

"The Jiangshui Alliance must be extinguished. ”

"Officials in the eight prefectures of Jiangnan who are corrupt and pervert the law must also be investigated. ”

"The soldiers of all prefectures will be summoned back to Beijing immediately!"

Zhu Qiying sat on the dragon chair with a cold expression, and the murderous aura between his eyebrows was rolling and he directly ordered: "Immediately send an order to Xichang and Jinyiwei to thoroughly investigate the eight families of the Jiangshui Alliance and the officials at all levels of the eight prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River, but anyone who violates rules and disciplines will be arrested immediately, and if there is resistance, it will be killed." ”

"Honor!"

The eunuch responded and quickly ran out to give the order.

"Lu Bu!"

"Zhu Qichen!"

Zhu Qiying opened her mouth and shouted.

"The minister is here!"

Lu Bu and Zhu Qichen walked to the center of the hall and knelt down on one knee.

"Order the two of you to lead 100,000 horses and horses respectively, Suzhou Mansion, Songjiang Mansion, Luzhou Mansion, Jianghuai Mansion, summon the soldiers of the four prefectures to return to Beijing to receive the crime, if there is resistance, they will be punished as treason, not to mention?"

"Follow the parables!"

Zhu Qichen and Lu Bu quickly received the order and walked down.

"The Emperor is the sky. ”

"Yang Yan!"

"Jungwoo!"

Zhu Qiying shouted again.

"The minister is here!"

Among the ministers, three figures walked out, it was Huangfu Zhengtian, Yang Yan and Zheng You, the three of them walked to the center of the hall, knelt down on one knee, and their faces were resolute.

"Order the three of you to lead an army of 150,000 to Jiangning Mansion and Lin'an Mansion to summon the soldiers of the two prefectures, and return to Beijing to receive the crime.

"Follow the parables!"

Huangfu Zhengtian and the three of them also received the order and quickly retreated.

"Retreat!"

After Zhu Qiying finished speaking, she waved her hand, stood up and left without looking back.

In the Fengtian Palace, the ministers knelt on the ground tremblingly, and did not react for a long time, and when they woke up, the dragon chair on the royal platform was already empty.

The ministers wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads, stood up and swallowed, each of them glanced at each other, and they all showed bitter smiles.

If they still don't understand what's going on, then they really don't deserve to be ministers for a while.

This is clearly a good show performed by King Wu'an and His Majesty.

King Wu'an was convicted.

His Majesty ordered the arrest.

And they are witnesses.

The rest of the ministers smiled helplessly, now that the holy order has been issued, what else can they do, they can really go home and wait for the result, I hope everything goes smoothly and arrests without any mistakes.

Jin Yiwei.

North Town Fuji.

The main hall and the main hall.

Yu Huatian sat on a bench, looked at the five Jinyi Guard commanders in front of him, and said coldly: "The holy order has come down, and everything is carried out according to the original plan." ”

"The Zhang clan of Beihu and the Zhao clan of Han Wu were led by Li Ping, commanded by Jinyi Weiwu. ”

"The Jianghuai Su clan and the Luzhou Xie clan were led by the White Leopard under the command of Jinyi Weisi. ”

"The Jiangning Li clan and the Songjiang Lu clan were led by Han Ming, commanded by Jinyi Weisan. ”

"As for the Lin'an Kong clan and the Suzhou Wang clan, Huang Long, Shen You, and this seat personally led the team to arrest them. ”

"Each team led 3,000 Jinyi guards, and cooperated with the Jinyi guards in various places to capture them. ”

"Credit, we only have three days, all according to the list of our respective investigations, one by one, not to let go of one. ”

"Your Majesty has ordered that anyone who resists can be executed at any time. ”

Yuhuatian's face was cold, and he shouted: "Did you hear clearly!"

"Hear me clearly. ”

The five brocade guards shook their bodies and immediately replied in a loud voice.
