Dong Jiuqi saw Tan Yunsong's death, and his face showed an expression of disbelief.

You must know that Tan Yunsong is the person with the highest official position in the court today. After Shoufu Wang Duo was demoted to a concubine by the Son of Heaven for supporting the Jiangbei Army, Tan Yunsong actually managed the cabinet. Although the Ming Dynasty did not have a prime minister, whoever held the cabinet and voting power could have the power no less than the prime minister.

In other words, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army stabbed Tan Yunsong to death several times, which can be said to be the "prime minister" of the Ming Dynasty in public.

Dong Jiuqi began to regret it, regretting that he was convinced that Li Zhi was going to unite with civil officials, and regretting that he actually self-righteously called on all civil officials to come to Li Zhi's sacrifice.

If he hadn't summoned more than 1,000 civil officials in the capital inside and outside the court in the name of the Ministry of Rites, how could Li Zhi gather the civil officials at one time? How could this massacre be so efficient?

It was really too clever to calculate the agency, and it cost Qingqing's life.

Dong Jiuqi looked at Tan Yunsong's corpse, looked at the corpses of civil officials all over the place, couldn't help it anymore, and cried loudly.

Behind Dong Jiuqi, the soldiers of the Tiger Ben Army had already surrounded the last more than seventy civilian officials who were still alive.

These seventy civil officials are all important members of the imperial court, either Shangshu or Jiuqing or Shilang and Yushi. However, at this time, the officials did not have a trace of their former majesty, and trembled in front of the bayonets of the Tiger Ben Army.

Some of them were so frightened that they couldn't stand up straight and collapsed on the vegetable patch. The black black gauze hat fell to the ground, and no one picked it up.

Chen Wenyue took a step back helplessly.

Because of fear, his legs were already a little uncontrollable, and every step back felt like a thousand pounds.

Chen Wenyue looked at Dong Jiuqi who was kneeling on the ground, and suddenly pointed at Li Zhi and said, "Li Zhi, you have no eyes on the king, and you bloody slaughter of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces." The list of such atrocities is too numerous to mention. You won't end well, the gentry in Jiangnan, and even the Son of Heaven in the Forbidden City won't let you go! ”

"If you do your own thing, and everyone in the world is the enemy, your fate must be a thousand cuts!"

Li Zhi looked coldly at Chen Wenyue, who was scolding, and his eyebrows didn't move.

Jiang Chong bowed to the sky and said loudly: "You and the traitors are called Jingguan courtiers, but they are actually thieves and rats. Nine times out of ten, the anointing sorghum in the world has been swallowed by treacherous whales. Sitting on the high lord Houlu, eating inside and outside to contact the rebels. His Royal Highness King Qi killed you for this country and for the common people in the world. ”

"Kill all of you, and everyone else in the world will rejoice, except for the gentry and civil officials. What the people of the world think of His Royal Highness King Qi, you don't need to worry about a dying traitor. ”

Chen Wenyue was scolded by Jiang Chong and trembled. He pointed at Jiang Chong and wanted to scold, but he was bullied in front of him by a tiger soldier. The soldier raised his bayonet forward and plunged the knife into Chen Wenyue's throat.

Chen Wenyue couldn't make a sound again, and desperately grabbed the bayonet on his throat with both hands, but he couldn't pull out the deadly steel blade.

As soon as the soldier put away the bayonet, a large blood mist erupted from the throat of the soldier's Shangshu, spraying the soldier's body and face.

Chen Wenyue grabbed the wound on his throat with both hands, let out a silent scream, and knelt on the vegetable field little by little. Soon he lost oxygen due to a cut in his throat and collapsed to the ground, twitching and shaking from time to time.

Gradually died.

The massacre of the Tiger Ben Army soldiers continued, and in the blink of an eye, there were only a dozen civilian officials left in the vegetable field.

The vegetable patch was littered with corpses, and the corpses were stacked on top of each other, looking very bloody and cruel.

Dong Jiuqi suddenly realized that there were no more living people behind him, stopped crying, and turned to look behind him.

He saw a GI approaching with a handcuff in hand.

Dong Jiuqi opened his mouth wide and was stunned for a while, and then he jumped up from the ground suddenly, trying to escape.

However, there were blood-covered tiger armies on all sides, and there was nowhere to escape.

Dong Jiuqi was in and out of place in the vegetable field, and after running for more than a dozen steps, he stopped, shaking violently.

The soldier with the handcuff pointed at Dong Jiuqi and shot him.

Dong Jiuqi was shot in the stomach, covered his stomach with a scream, and fell to the ground with a thud, rolling non-stop.

Another Tiger Ben soldier walked up, stepped on the Ministry of Rites Shangshu, who had lost his mind in severe pain, and shot Dong Jiuqi in the left chest.

Dong Jiuqi let out another weak scream, and he was completely dead.

On the side of the Grand Canal, all 1,159 collaborators in Beijing have been killed, and only corpses remain.

Zheng Kaicheng looked at the corpses stacked on the vegetable field and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

However, the smell of blood in the air made Zheng Kaicheng a little unbearable, he couldn't help the smell and coughed.

Looking at the corpse on the ground, Li Zhi said: "With so much blood irrigated, the greens in this vegetable field will definitely grow well in the coming year." ”

He took the three pillars of incense from his guard, lit the red candle in front of the altar, and respectfully inserted it into the censer.

"Heaven is above, today Li Zhi killed 1,159 traitors, so that there are fewer parasites in my Han nation! The emperor has eyes, and he will bless me with the prosperity of China's martial arts, the prosperity of people, and the prosperity of the four seas. ”

The Tianjin officials behind Li Zhi knelt on the ground and shouted, "Wuyun is prosperous!" Prosperous! Weiga is all over the world! ”

Zhu Youzhen, the Son of Heaven, stood in the study of the Qianqing Palace, pacing back and forth in the room with some anxiety.

Zhu Youzhen was waiting for news from the Grand Canal.

Until now, although all signs point to a massacre, although Zhu Youzhen understands that this must be a massacre, but until the last moment, he can't believe that Li Zhi will really kill the officials of the entire imperial court.

Even in the entire history of China, such massacres have never occurred since the Eastern and Western Wei Dynasty. And Li Zhi wants to be the first person in this thousand years?

All the ministers have been killed, what is Li Zhi's next move? Will Li Zhi rise up and do something further to try to control the imperial court?

Zhu Youzhen took a breath and looked out the window.

On the road outside the window, Wang Dehua, the eunuch of Dongchang, was trotting towards the Qianqing Palace with his clothes in his hand. This eunuch of Dongchang seemed to be greatly shocked, his feet were a little flustered, and he stumbled a little when he walked on the bricks of the White Jade Palace.

He finally ran into the study, bowed to the Son of Heaven, and said, "Holy Lord, Li Zhi really killed!" ”

Zhu Youzhen's face turned white and asked, "Quan... Kill them all? ”

Wang Dehua kowtowed on the ground with a bang, and said in a trembling voice: "Kill them all!" ”

Zhu Youzhen sat weakly on the chair for a long time before asking, "Yao Mingling, who gave me a lecture?" ”

Wang Dehua replied: "Kill! ”

Zhu Youzhen asked again: "Cabinet Deputy Assistant Tan Yunsong?" ”

"Kill! The slave saw clearly in the binoculars, stabbed to death with a bayonet. ”

"Yu Xianhe, the old minister of the Xinwang Mansion?"

"Shot indiscriminately and killed in the ranks."

Hearing Wang Dehua's words, Zhu Youzhen's face became a little pale. Sitting in his chair, he was speechless for a long time.

The shock brought by the massacre was so amazing that Zhu Youzhen subconsciously asked, "What is King Qi going to do next?" ”

Wang Dehua raised his head and whispered, "King Qi is collecting the corpses of civil officials, it seems... It seems to be going to enter the capital. ”
