Chapter 163: The Great Purge, a River of Blood!

Reform officials such as Jiao Fang and Xu Jin are really scared now!

Because they found out through this incident that if His Majesty the Emperor died, he, the reformist officials, would really be put to death by those opponents, and would not have the slightest mercy to his own people!

Even, now these reformist officials are not only intolerant of their political ideas by these gentry, but also deprived of the benefits that their own family has obtained through cooperation with the royal family.

Reformist officials such as Jiao Fang and Xu Jin now realize that they cannot tolerate these political opponents, even if they are in the interests of their own families! Otherwise, the shares of the Royal Bank will also be taken away! I am afraid that more benefits will be taken away in the future.

These reformist officials not only knew that these political enemies could not be tolerated, but they also became more convinced of the importance of the emperor to their own people, not only the emperor, but also the future crown prince!

Not only did Jiao Fang and others feel that they should severely punish their opponents, but even Ma Wensheng, who has always paid attention to moderate political struggle, expressed his support with silence.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao also took advantage of this incident to give these reformist officials a way to deal with a sudden crisis.

And the civil officials and gentry who opposed the reform no longer thought that if they solved the emperor, they could easily stop the reform process of the Ming Empire.

Of course, Zhu Houzhao still has to teach these civil officials who have committed crimes a harsh lesson, and he has to give them another lesson, so that they can see the fate of killing the monarch and trying to obstruct the reform again!

Zhu Houzhao put Jiao Fang in charge of the trial of Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhu Feng, the Duke of Chengguo.

"Zhang Sheng! You falsely claimed that His Majesty had died, and colluded with Zhu Feng, the prince of Chengguo, Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the imperial horse, and Zeng Jian, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, to rebel, and you can admit your guilt! ”

Jiao Fang began to interrogate Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, at this time!

"The minister pleads not guilty! There is no rebellion! The minister is deceived by a traitor! If it weren't for the Ministry of Industry Shangshu Zeng Jian's false rumor that His Majesty had been blown up, Zhang Sheng would never have done such a thing! ”

And Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, still argued.

"Presumptuous! Your intention to rebel has long been revealed, and even Zeng Jian himself has admitted that he is your mastermind, intending to kill the king and seize the throne, and dare to quibble! ”

After Jiao Fang drank the order, he asked Zeng Jian again: "Zeng Jian, you say it again, is the mastermind of this rebellion case Zhang Sheng!" ”

"Back to Jisuke! It was Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, who colluded with his ministers and others to blow up His Majesty, and then seize the throne, otherwise he would not have murdered the queen, causing the queen mother to be injured, and the queen mother was frightened! ”

Zeng Jian now knew that only by cooperating with the imperial court to confirm the crime of rebellion against Zhang Sheng and others could he destroy the clan and reduce the punishment, so he honestly admitted it.

"Zeng Jian has already admitted it, Zhang Yong and others have also admitted that you are the mastermind, and the evidence has long been conclusive! Zhang Sheng, whether you admit your guilt or not, you have a rebellion! Come on, drag it down, this official is ready to ask Your Majesty Ling Chi for 5,200 knives for such anti-thieves as you, and punish the ten clans! ”

Jiao Fang said and said:

"In addition, Zhang Yong, Zhu Feng, Du Long and others also punished the ten clans, Ling Chi 3,600 knives! Raid your home together!

Especially Zhang Yong, as a minister, but plotted against His Majesty, he should be severely punished, and his meat should be ordered to be eaten by the minister! Its Royal Bank and Royal Industries have taken back their shares!

In addition, Chengguo Gong disregarded the emperor's grace! Cut its hereditary lord! ”

Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, now knows that he can't change the outcome of the matter, and he only hates Zeng Jian now!

He hates Zeng Jian to death now! Because if it weren't for Zeng Jian! He didn't need to be in such a hurry to show his feet, he would have been dormant for a long time, at least after entering the cabinet.

But now, because Zeng Jian lied about the news that Zhu Houzhao had been blown up, he exposed his feet in advance, and also caused his two heavyweight allies, namely Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the imperial horse eunuch, and Zhu Feng, the prince of Chengguo, to also lose it!

Therefore, Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, was now eager to eat Zeng Jian alive, and rushed directly towards Zeng Jian: "Zeng Jian! You're so cheap! You slut! Phew! You hurt the old man! It was you who framed the old man, it was you who ruined the future of the old man's life, it was you who caused the old man to be punished by the ten clans, and I can't spare you in the underworld! Can't spare you! ”

Seeing this, Jiao Fang asked the official to use a chain to pull Zhang Sheng, the angry secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

"Your Majesty spares your life! Your Majesty spares your life! The old slave really didn't expect them to fake the news of your death! The old slave really doesn't want to murder you, the old slave is loyal, the old slave just can't get used to Liu Jin, he just wants to be the palm print of the celebrant supervisor! ”

At this time, Zhang Yong also begged bitterly, and suddenly pounced on Zeng Jian:

"It's you! You hurt me! You are the one who has caused me to lose all my wealth in my life! I'm going to eat you! ”

This Zhang Yongjian bit off one of Zeng Jian's ears alive, and Zeng Jian screamed in pain.

At this time, Cheng Guogong was also begging for mercy, and he was furious to come over and kill Zeng Jian, but fortunately, an official was dragging him to death, otherwise Zeng Jian would have died on the spot.

Jiao Fang saw that the scene was a little quieter and said: "And Zeng Jian's report is meritorious, and he actively cooperates with the imperial court, he can reduce the punishment, but his crime of killing the monarch cannot be forgiven, and this official is ready to sentence you to 1,500 knives!" Destroy the Nine Clans! ”

"Ahh O Lord! Your Majesty said that it was light, can you change Ling Chi to a halving! Zeng Jian said.

"Hugh has to argue! Your Majesty said that you will spare you! But this official still can't wait to eat the flesh of anti-thieves like you and drink the blood of anti-thieves like you, and if he doesn't punish your ten clans, he will be spared! ”

Jiao Fang announced his retirement as he spoke, and then handed the verdict to Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao immediately asked the celebrant to approve it.

Thereupon.

A purge began again.

A few days later, on the execution ground in the capital, a group of civil officials were escorted up and pressed directly on the stake, but one by one they still shook and shouted: "Wronged! Wronged! We really didn't expect His Majesty to die! We're just being coerced! We really don't mean to force the palace! ”

Jiao Fang, the prison officer, showed no mercy, no matter how these civil officials complained, he directly waved his hand: "Behead!" ”

Click!

Suddenly, human heads fell to the ground!

A river of blood!

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

"Slash!"

Jiao Fang fell, and the heads of civil officials and gentry fell to the ground!

And Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, saw that his relatives and friends were cut to the ground one after another in front of him, and he was also very painful, and couldn't help but scold Jiao Fang:

"Jiao Fang! You are also a civil official, why are you so cruel! ”

Jiao Fang replied loudly: "Because if you change to me today, I change to you, you will not spare me!" Moreover, this official will use your blood to deter other officials who oppose the New Deal! Everyone is a civil official, and that day in the palace, when you were aggressive, you didn't say anything about it!

Anti-thief! This is your deserved sin, isn't it very angry, very helpless! Hahaha! But you can't do anything with this official now, because you are a thief, and after thousands of generations, you will still be a thief, and this official will help Your Majesty to make you stink for 10,000 years! Let the kings of future generations only remember that you are a thief! ”

Zhang Sheng and the others were very angry, and they were very angry to see Jiao Fang rampant in front of him, but there was nothing he could do, so he had to shout: "God! Why is this happening, how did we become thieves! Could it be that Your Majesty is really a god and can't be blasphemed and deceitful?! ”

Jiao Fang had already shouted loudly at this time: "Cut, cut for this official, don't tolerate it!" Unforgiving! ”

Click!

Click!

Click!

One by one, Jiao Fang expressed the anger of these reformist officials with the strongest attitude.

And Zhang Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, Zhu Feng, the Duke of Chengguo, and Zhang Yong, the eunuch of the Imperial Horse, could only look helplessly: "Don't! Don't! ”

Immediately afterwards, these main culprits were also executed by Ling Chi one after another, and their families were naturally confiscated!

The Ming Dynasty has lost a group of big officials and nobles who can only suck the people's fat and people's ointment, and the power of the gentry class has been weakened a little!

……

Many days later, Jiao Fang came to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, all the executions have been completed, and none of them have been appeased!" ”

"Excellent! Sure enough, it is worthy of Jiao Aiqing, who has iron-fisted means! Zhu Houzhao nodded.
