Chapter 104: Sympathy and Smell Together
Zhu Qizhen's you look at it As soon as this sentence came out, it gave Xu Youzhen and others great confidence, and on the second day, they began to settle accounts after the autumn, and a large number of court officials were arrested, some of them were indeed people who were closer to Yu Qian, but most of them were still people with political disagreements such as Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng, just taking this opportunity to eliminate dissent, and some were people who had done something detrimental to Zhu Qizhen. I don't know if they regret it, such as Lu Zhong in the Golden Knife case, and Gao Ping, who cut down the trees around Nangong, all of them could not escape this catastrophe, of course, at the same time, the cabinet members also changed a lot, Jiang Yuan, Shang Chen, Chen Xun and other cabinet ministers were replaced.
Xu Youzhen Shi Heng and others helped Zhu Qizhen to seek a coup d'état, just for their own glory and wealth, these restoration ministers did not treat themselves badly, and nominated each other, Zhu Qizhen and Lu Yunzhi also wrote one by one, which made them particularly pleased, Xu Youzhen was promoted to the secretary of the military department and entered the cabinet, and Shi Heng was named the Duke of Zhongguo, which was also considered to be in response to what Shi Fang had said on the way to Timur, Shi Heng would definitely worship the prophecy of the prince in the future,
Zhang Yun's contribution is also not small, he was named a marquis, named the Marquis of Taiping, and Yang Shan, Yang Zhun and others are a lot more low-key, slightly better than half a level in recognition, Lu Yunzhi even dismissed Zhu Qizhen's idea of listing him as the third duke, Lu Yunzhi's hands have a tendency to override the imperial power, and it is useless to have these false names, besides, Yu Qian is dead, and there is no one who can compete with Lu Yunzhi among the living heroes, let alone suppress others in government affairs, so that the promotion of Yang Shan and Yang Zhun is easy to understand, one is Lu Yunzhi's father-in-law, One is the uncle of Lu Yunzhi's father-in-law, these two identities are better than the emperor's relatives, so it is dispensable whether he is promoted or not.
But Cao Jixiang, who is also in the same vein of Zhongzheng, jumped up, got Lu Yunzhi's instructions, took over the position of the eunuch, firmly controlled the inner palace, and supervised the three major battalions at the same time, plus the military power held by Lu Yunzhi, and now he is the main force of his own people to supervise and garrison the capital, and the three battalions of the country's sword have become Lu Yunzhi's private soldiers.
Cheng Fangdong occupied the capital, Yu Qian was forced to negotiate peace with Lu Yunzhi, when the military power was handed over, Lu Yunzhi and Yu Qian had an agreement, one, never change the surname to establish himself as the king, there is still the Zhu royal family to sit in the country, two, once there is a frontier war, will resist foreign enemies, do not let foreign invasion, three, set the country and peace, let the turbulence calm, the people out of the scourge of war,
With these three agreements, Yu Qian relieved himself to hand over the soldiers and horses to Zhongzheng Yimai, Yu Qian did not believe in Zhongzheng Yimai, but Yu Qian knew that on this kind of major issue of right and wrong, Zhongzheng Yimai was still reliable, Lu Yunzhi did not violate the previous agreement this time, and was a villain who did not believe in his word, because this agreement was originally very comprehensive after thinking about it,
First, Lu Yunzhi is a restoration, he did not establish himself as a king, nor did he establish a different surname as the emperor, it is still Zhu Qizhen, whose surname is Zhu, and the second is not there at all, the border war in recent years is not urgent, and there is no need to mobilize the soldiers and horses in the capital. It was a success,
After the change of power in the capital, the most powerful cabinet has become a non-existent cabinet, but Xu Youzhen cares a lot about the composition of the cabinet, four of the original five people in the cabinet were laid off, leaving only a high valley that is not a good thing, so Xu Youzhen promoted Xu Bin, who was also a participant in the change of seizing the door, and his cronie Xue Xuan into the cabinet, even so, there is still one less, Xu Youzhen took a fancy to Li Xian, so Li Xian also entered the cabinet, what Xu Youzhen did not expect was that his failure in the future was also inextricably linked to Li Xian, If he could have known in advance that he would not have made a move to promote Li Xian, and would have sent Li Xian to prison, at least at this time, the restoration of the party was still in full swing.
Yu Qian died, and when he was imprisoned, he was already dead, Xu Youzhen meant to declare that Yu Qian committed suicide in fear of crime, but Lu Yunzhi and Zhu Qizhen did not allow it, Zhu Qizhen claimed that if Yu Qian died in prison, the people would mistakenly think that Yu Qian was tortured to death, and it was an act to conceal the truth, which was not conducive to the national prestige, and Lu Yunzhi promised to be too humble, and it was best to be victimized by traitors if he died brightly, just like Xu Youzhen, people like Xu Youzhen are the most suitable, of course, this reason Lu Yunzhi did not say clearly, Xu Youzhen did not dare to ask more, The emperor and Young Master Lu have spoken, who dares to disobey,
So Wang Yu appeared in the prison, half an hour later, Yu Qian's face was the same, his demeanor was still the same, but he closed his eyes tightly, if someone put his hand on his skin, he would find that it was cold, it turned out to be just a living person,
The crime has already been settled, that is, to set up a foreign domain, in other words, it is the crime of treason,
On the twenty-third day of the first month, outside the Chongwen Gate, Yu Qian was beheaded and executed, the weather was cold and Wang Yulu's medication was indeed profound, Yu Qian made his last appearance in front of the people, as the blood poured into the head, the vivid and realistic was really difficult for Wang Yulu, Xu Youzhen originally wanted to behead Yu Qian, but was glared at by Lu Yunzhi and no longer dared to assert himself, Xu Youzhen This kind of person may never understand what it means to sympathize with each other, and the living blood only knows the same smell.
With Yu Qian's beheading, his home was also raided, but every official who went to raid his home was like ashes, and they were all deeply shocked by the dead Yu Qian, because this first-class official in the court was actually surrounded by four walls, holding a large amount of ordnance, grain and grass, and military salaries could be corrupted, and he was still so incorruptible, the only valuable thing in the family was the sword and python robe that Zhu Qiyu had given Yu Qian, and everyone understood, what is called a clean official, what is a loyal minister, the wealth of the country, and not to take it,
Yu Qian's sons and daughters-in-law were assigned to the frontier one after another, and the nine clans should have been punished for treason, but they were escaped, and it must be Lu Yunzhi's credit.
Yu Qian's daughter-in-law Zhang was assigned to Shanhaiguan, and his son Yu Mian was expelled to Longmen, Shanxi, where he was taken care of by Fang Qingze, Yu Mian happily accepted the help of Zhongzheng Yimai, because Yu Qian once said that Lu Yunzhi is a hero in the world, and he is also a person with a broad mind, and the dispute between his fathers has ended.
