In a hurry, the crown prince, escorted by Man Gui, finally arrived in Beijing City the day before Chinese New Year's Eve. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Chongzhen received the news of the queen prince's return to the palace in the study, and immediately asked Wang Chengen to prepare a sedan chair, planning to go to the palace gate in person to meet the queen and the prince as soon as possible, the queen is Chongzhen's first woman, and the prince is his first child, both of whom have an extraordinary status in Chongzhen's heart.

In front of the Chengtian Gate of the Imperial City, Chongzhen met the escort team of the queen and the prince back to Beijing, and the escort team knelt down and saluted after seeing that it was Chongzhen who was blocking the way, Chongzhen did not pay attention to the group of guards, but walked quickly to the queen's frame.

At this time, the queen, who heard the call, lifted the curtain and saw Chongzhen coming, full of surprise to the "emperor" Queen Zhou, but she never thought that as soon as she arrived at the palace gate, the emperor was waiting here, and she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed when she saw the emperor's eager eyes.

"Queen" Chongzhen originally thought that he would have a lot of things to say to the queen, but after meeting, all kinds of lovesickness only turned into a gentle call.

"It's good to come back, come to the prince and let me hug me" Chongzhen looked at the little prince sleeping in his arms, his heart was indescribably happy, and the depression of many days was swept away, holding the prince in one hand and holding the queen's hand in the other, "Go, I will take your mother and son home" The three of them went to Chongzhen's royal chariot when they came. Home, I also have a home in this world, and the palace in the future is no longer a palace, it is my home, and there is a queen waiting for me to go back, the prince.

In the New Year, Chongzhen, the queen, the crown prince, and the imperial sister-in-law, Empress Zhang, the four of them spent the New Year together in the imperial garden, and the two queens sat on the side and exchanged something. Chongzhen was alone holding the prince in the imperial garden, the breeze was blowing, and the prince's crisp laughter was heard from time to time in the imperial garden, and the new year was full of hope.

Happy time always runs fast, in the blink of an eye 2 months have passed, the ceremony is ready, all over the three products and above the three grades, the royal relatives gathered in Beijing.

Chongzhen's edict recalled the officials from all over the country, plus the last time the imperial relatives Chongzhen gathered in the capital did not put back, in addition to the messy personnel who rushed back later, this time the scale of the sacrifice ceremony was unprecedentedly huge, the number of participants was as high as 30,000, for which Chongzhen sent 50,000 recruits into the city to maintain order, protect security, each city gate sent heavy troops, in the days of the ceremony, the entire Beijing city implemented a curfew, Dongchang and Jinyi guards spies out, the new army garrison soldiers and horses began to patrol the city, and the city gates were taken over by a large number of troops.

"Isn't it just a ceremony to sacrifice to the heavens, and it needs so many people to protect it? You see at the gate of the city, there are so many soldiers stationed, I heard that the emperor not only mobilized a new army into the city, but also stationed tens of thousands of horses outside the city, what do you say this is for, isn't it going to fight again? An old man selling vegetables said to the old man selling fish next to him.

"What kind of battle are you fighting, the Jurchens have just been driven away, there are so many people stationed outside the city, who dares to come to Beijing to make trouble, don't die, if you want to say the Jurchens, that's it, I helped transport stones to the city wall, and I secretly threw stones down to smash a few", the old man began to brag to the people around him about how brave he was.

"I heard that there are people in Shaanxi who have rebelled, and they are making a lot of trouble, so they won't hit Beijing City" The old man who sold vegetables still thought that someone would hit Beijing City.

"Shhh

The two turned their heads to observe, and found that no one noticed their two old men, so they breathed a sigh of relief, and the fish seller continued, "Now that there are so many relatives of the emperor and officials who have returned from other places in the city, of course the emperor will send someone to protect them, don't think about it."

"Then ......." what else the vegetable seller wanted to say.

"Don't, it's been said this, those national events have nothing to do with us small people, what are you worrying about as a vegetable seller, it's another trouble to be heard by someone with a heart, I won't stay here, I'm going back to take my grandson" After saying that, the fish seller cleaned up his things, and his head ran away, and the other vegetable seller saw the performance of the old man selling fish, and suddenly felt bored, and then packed up his things and ran home.

It's just something that the two don't know, during the conversation between the two, a little beggar behind him quietly pricked up his ears and overheard the conversation between the two, and after the two left, the little beggar changed places and continued to beg.

On the day of the ceremony, Chongzhen dressed up and stood on the Temple of Heaven in the outer city, the outer city has slowly recovered a little bit of vitality after several months of reconstruction, this Chongzhen is going to be used to worship the Temple of Heaven, and it has also been urgently repaired by the Ministry of Industry.

The ministers under the altar, after seeing Chongzhen appear, knelt down neatly, and shouted loudly, "Long live my emperor, long live, long live" Tens of thousands of people knelt down at the same time to worship, shouting loudly, what a spectacular scene, Chongzhen dressed in a costume, standing in front of the stone fence of the altar, quietly watching the scene of 10,000 people worshipping.

After everyone paid homage, Chongzhen did not let many imperial relatives and ministers of civil and military affairs plan to get up, without Chongzhen's will, everyone kneeling on the ground, no one dared to get up, and they talked about what was going on.

At this time, a column of heavily armed soldiers appeared near the altar, lined up in a neat line, and quickly stood behind the ministers who knelt on the ground and formed a huge phalanx.

After controlling the civil and military ministers who lived there, a group of old ministers behind the altar led this large number of scholars to stand behind Chongzhen.

"Everyone is here, pass the decree" Chongzhen coldly instructed an old eunuch behind him.

A eunuch stepped forward with a holy decree, "Fengtian transported, the emperor edict said, today there are Zhou Yanru, Qian Qianyi, Wu Weiye, Gong Dingxi....... Thirty-seven other high-ranking officials of the DPRK and the Central Committee have failed to live up to the grace of God, bent the law for bribes, and engaged in favoritism, and are now dismissed from all official positions, confiscated their family property, and beheaded and sacrificed to heaven to set an example. With the eunuch's characteristic high-pitched voice, Chongzhen's holy decree was transmitted to the ears of everyone present.

The soldiers behind a few people, before everyone could reflect it, had already pulled the group of people named to the altar, and "beheaded" Chongzhen's head without returning the order, the executioner, holding high the long knife, one by one the heads flew up, these cabinet bigwigs, important ministers in the court, were sacrificed to the sky by Chongzhen in this way.

Seeing that the named person was really beheaded, the people kneeling below panicked, and some people wanted to get up and ask for an understanding, but before he could make any moves, the soldiers in the rear had already unsheathed their long knives and put a sharp blade on their necks, so they had to continue to kneel honestly.

Since ancient times, there has not been such an emperor as the emperor who killed ministers on a large scale, even if the dynasty is changed, his group of high-ranking officials has not changed his master and continued to be his own officials, what do you have to say, you are the emperor who still doesn't give you face, and now the world is still in chaos, but at this time, the emperor actually lifted the table and didn't play, which made many people who had a good relationship with the named group of people scared half to death, and everyone was in danger if it didn't matter.

(It's New Year's Day soon, I wish you all a happy holiday, thank you for your support)
