At this time, Sun Chuanting had already arrived at the Qianqing Palace and sat opposite Zhu Cihong, who had a straight face and an expressionless face.

Sun Chuanting fell into the endgame between the two, and while speaking, he said: "Just now, Shangguan Lie has retaken over the guards, and the purge will be completed in an hour at most." Li Huazhen has returned to Dongchang, and the reason why Li Zhong can temporarily occupy it is not His Majesty's will, but the attitude of Dingguo Gong. The patrol battalion is the military department, and Zhang Shangshu has been in charge for many years, if he doesn't let it, Yang Ge Lao will not be so easy to snatch it away, and he will go back in half an hour at most. As for the Shuntian Mansion and the Criminal Department, send dozens of soldiers over, and they will be very obedient. Your Majesty should not know that there is no longer a threat from Horqin's side, and the Dingguo general Cao Bianjiao and Mangui's 20,000 cavalry have been transferred back, and they will arrive in Beijing in half an hour. ”

The corners of Zhu Cihong's face were very straight, he didn't know what was going on outside, but Sun Chuanting walked in without hindrance, and no one came to arrest him for so long, Zhu Cihong was already very frightened in his heart.

Sun Chuanting fell, looked outside, and said, "Dingguo Gong has already arranged a way for those people outside, and it is not a disadvantage." Now, it's Your Majesty. ”

Sun Chuanting's voice fell, and two inner supervisors came in with three plates.

Three plates were placed on the chessboard, and Sun Chuanting reached out to uncover the cloth on it.

The first is Li Zhong's bloody head.

Zhu Cihong sighed, and almost fell over from the chair in horror.

His eyes were wide open and his face was full of horror.

Accompanied day and night, the people I saw just now only have one head!

Sun Chuanting ignored Zhu Cihong's fright, lifted the second black cloth, and explained, "Yang Sichang and others conspired against him, imprisoned Yuan Fu and other ministers, and even poisoned His Majesty in an attempt to set up a new monarch. ”

Zhu Cihong shouted, ducked back frantically, and said, "No, no, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to drink ......"

Sun Chuanting untied the third one and said, "There are nine edicts here, whether it is poisonous wine or edicts, Your Majesty chooses for yourself." ”

Zhu Cihong was extremely frightened, it was not the first time he had seen that poisonous wine, but this time he was extremely strong, as long as he didn't agree, he would die today!

Zhu Cihong walked over with great anxiety, and trembled to pick up the nine-way notebook, and his eyes shrank in the first one.

This is his 'self-examination edict', which is mainly aimed at the 'emperor' of the Ming Dynasty and the restriction of the emperor's power.

In the edict, Zhu Cihong clearly gave up the right to appoint and dismiss courtiers, no longer interfered in the operation of the imperial court, and will exist as a symbol of the Ming Dynasty.

The corners of Zhu Cihong's face were straight, and his hands trembled.

In his opinion, how is this different from usurpation?

He shouldn't have listened to the words of Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing and others, he should have directly tricked Zhou Zhengyun into the palace and killed him, where are there so many things!

Sun Chuanting could guess what Zhu Cihong was thinking, and said, "Your Majesty agrees or not, this edict will be issued." In addition, if Your Majesty is really harmful to us, it will not be too difficult for us to change someone else as emperor. ”

Zhu Cihong looked at the pot of poisonous wine, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he picked up the second edict.

This is an edict that requires the cabinet to step up the sorting out of the Ming system, and the life of the first assistant has great power, and requires the practice of 'boat and water relations' and the expansion of the people's ability to participate in politics and discuss politics - the group recommends the political council.

Zhu Cihong didn't know what this council would be, so he picked up the third way.

This has some substance, agreed with Zhou Zheng, the Duke of Dingguo, Zhou Yanru Zhishi, and Qian Qianyi succeeded as the first assistant, accusing Li Heng of plotting rebellion and going to prison for the crime. Li Banghua was transferred to the post of president of the compilation department, and Yang Sichang, in order to rebel against the general military officer, also made great efforts to readjust the officials at all levels of the six ministries in order to recover Taiwan as soon as possible.

Seeing that Zhou Zheng's people were on the throne one after another, Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and continued to watch.

After reading it, he was silent for a while, looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "I want to see Zhou Zhengyun." ”

Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty will see you in the future, now copy a copy and stamp it." ”

Zhu Cihong was angry in his heart, but he was also worried and afraid.

He knew very well that he had no choice, stared at Sun Chuanting, his eyes were red, and said, "Don't you have the loyalty of Yang Ge Lao and the others?" Zhou Zhengyun bullied me so much, was he really so indifferent and acted for the tiger? ”

Sun Chuanting was stunned, and from Zhu Cihong's words, he vaguely understood. The root cause of Yang Sichang and others doing these things, in the final analysis, is that they still hope that the old Ming Dynasty can come back, they are comfortable with the past, and they are resistant to changing the law from the heart.

In short, they are all conservatives, and they are natural mortal enemies with Zhou Zheng and other reformers!

Sun Chuanting was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty misses the first emperor, if the first emperor is alive, what should I be like?" Will Yang Sichang, these loyal ministers, have a good end? ”

Zhu Cihong snorted coldly and said, "Father Emperor is wise and martial, Corporal Lixian, how can there be no good end!" And you people will definitely not end well! ”

Sun Chuanting didn't bother to say anything, and said, "Your Majesty, copy it, the minister still has a lot of things to do." ”

Zhu Cihong had no choice, glanced at Sun Chuanting fiercely, took these edicts, put them on the chair, and took the pen to transcribe.

Seeing this, Sun Chuanting got up and left.

Li Huazhen followed behind, and said in a low voice that was extremely respectful: "There is no problem with the East Factory." The forbidden army, the patrol battalion will soon be restored as if it were out. The Criminal Department, Shuntianfu, you have to keep an eye on it. ”

Sun Chuanting said: "You have the list, a total of two hundred and twenty-one people, there is no need for the three divisions to interrogate, dispose of it as soon as possible." ”

Li Huazhen responded and said, "Yes." Before Dingguo Gong returns to Beijing, everything will be taken care of. ”

Sun Chuanting snorted and walked towards the outside of the Daming Gate.

Cabinet Building.

There was still blood on the ground, some of the Praetorian guards dragged the corpses away, and hundreds of Praetorian guards cordoned off the place.

Shangguan Lie wiped the bloody knife, glanced at Sun Chuanting, and said: "I haven't killed anyone for some time, many people have forgotten, I followed Dingguo Gong to fight in the south and the north, and killed many people." ”

Sun Chuanting glanced at Zhou Zheng's brother-in-law and continued to walk forward.

Inside, Ding Qi walked out and said, "It's all inside." ”

Sun Chuanting nodded and walked inside.

In the conference hall, Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing, Li Banghua, and Qian Qianyi were all there, but now the expressions of the four people are different.

As soon as Qian Qianyi saw Sun Chuanting, he stood up excitedly and said, "Lord Sun, this matter has nothing to do with me, I was pushed up by them, you must help me explain it to Dingguo Gong......"

Sun Chuanting didn't look at him, but looked at Li Hengbing, Yang Sichang, and Li Banghua.

Li Banghua's expression moved, and he said: "I haven't done anything, if Dingguo Gong wants to ask for the crime, just come." ”

Sun Chuanting thought for a moment and turned his gaze to Yang Sichang.

Yang Sichang held two black and white chess pieces in his hand, and did not look at Sun Chuanting's gaze, and sighed: "Chess is not as good as others, admit to gambling and lose, I will go to Fujian." The condition is not to overdo it. ”

Sun Chuanting nodded, then turned around and did not look at Li Hengbing.

Li Hengbing's expression was indifferent, and his eyes were desperate.

He has been planning for so many years, but it was all in vain.
