Chapter 507: The Reckoning of the New Emperor's Ascension to the Throne (I)

Lu Qing said it was okay. Zhu Qiyu nodded hurriedly and said, and the other officials immediately pricked up their ears, wanting to hear what other insightful views this young man could put forward.

At this time, Lu Jin's face became extremely serious, and he saluted again before he said: "Your Majesty, if you want to gather people's hearts, let the soldiers, and let the subjects of the world be used by my court, you must make people feel convinced." And the distinction between rewards and punishments is the most effective means of uniting people's hearts, so ......"

"That's my intention to enclose the vassals this time." Zhu Qiyu nodded in response, and Lu Zhen immediately nodded in agreement, but he continued: "Your Majesty has indeed done it, but it still needs to be punished, and those who are guilty need to be severely punished." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Qiyu had already guessed something, and his face became extremely solemn, and the other officials also understood, and many people's faces changed, this Lu Zhen was really a little bold, and he acted in disregard of the rules of officialdom!

Sure enough, I only heard Lu Zhen continue: "The minister thinks that the reason why my Ming Dynasty has encountered such a crisis this time is also due to the mistakes made when sending the troops, as well as the successive mistakes made by the army in the north. Among them, of course, there is the responsibility of the Son of Heaven, but he has always instigated the emperor to use troops against the Mongols, and constantly intervened in the military during the Northern Expedition, causing the army to run back and forth, and the fault of Wang Zhenzhi, who was in a desperate situation, cannot be ignored! ”

Did he really directly target Wang Zhen? Everyone, including Yu Qian, was stunned. Although everyone knows this, and many people are ready to liquidate the culprit, everyone still hasn't made up their minds about when to act.

Because Zhu Qiyu has just ascended the throne now, and Wang Zhen is not only unpredictable in life and death, but also a confidant of the old emperor, if the new emperor initiates a liquidation as soon as he takes the throne, I am afraid that others will have different ideas, and I feel that this is Zhu Qiyu eradicating the old man in order to consolidate his position.

Therefore, in the officialdom, when encountering such a situation, he always talks about it step by step, and he has never launched a liquidation against the cronies and subordinates of the previous emperor in such a hurry. But Lu Jin, a young man, actually broke this rule and didn't play cards according to the routine at all.

"Your Majesty, Wang Zhen not only bewitched the king in this matter, causing hundreds of thousands of Ming elites to be lost, so that the world fell into such a dangerous situation, but also relied on the faith of the Son of Heaven and did many injustices, wantonly amassed wealth, and brutalized courtiers. I also hope that Your Majesty will set things right as soon as possible, return the people of the world, and give justice to those who have been wronged! After Lu Zhen said all this loudly, he immediately turned over and knelt down, and bowed to the ground.

This is a posture to completely pull Wang Zhen and his henchmen off the horse! Many of the ministers were in good spirits, as if they had seen some hope. And the rest are worried in their hearts, because they have already been labeled as Wang Zhen's henchmen, and if they are really liquidated, they will inevitably suffer a lot.

This made everyone's mood tense, and hundreds of eyes fell on the new emperor on the throne to see what decision he would make.

"This kind of thinking has some means. With just these two strategies, the Manchurian officials have become uneasy. Yu Qian smiled bitterly in his heart, but he didn't stand up to stop it.

Regarding Lu Jin's two advances, Yu Qian couldn't tell whether they were out of public or selfish intentions. But one thing is certain, this is of great benefit to the current emperor, because the former is buying people's hearts, and the latter seems to be liquidating Wang Zhen's sins, but once he is convicted, isn't Zhu Qizhen, the former son of heaven who connived at his series of crimes, also a big mistake?

Some officials in the DPRK and China quickly understood this, so they were a little more frightened of Lu Jin, a young man, who killed two birds with one stone, not only avenged himself, but also made a name for the Son of Heaven!

Zhu Qiyu tasted it after pondering, he couldn't help but glance at Lu Jin, and began to weigh it in his heart.

In fact, for Wang Zhenyi's party, he naturally has the intention to eradicate it. Whether it is from their own interests or from the situation of the imperial court, these people cannot stay. It's just, do you really want to attack these people so quickly?

You must know that there are still a large number of Wang Zhen's godsons and grandsons in the palace, and it is not easy to clean them all. And Jinyiwei and Dongchang are still in the hands of these people, will it cause any bad consequences?

"Your Majesty, when there is a new atmosphere in the new dynasty, it is time to let the world know your determination!" Lu Zhen spoke again to persuade.

That's right, it's all at this time, how can you achieve great things, how can you make the people of the world believe that you have the ability to sit on the throne, so as to help you resist foreign enemies who may invade the Central Plains?

Suddenly, a sense of pride arose from Zhu Qiyu's heart, and he nodded: "What Lu Qing said is extremely true, that Wang Zhen brought disaster to the country and the people, harmed the innocent, and caused today's disaster, it is really a crime that cannot be punished!" The criminal department listens to the order! ”

At this time, it was the squire of the Criminal Department who was squiring to the sea, and when he heard this greeting, his body was shocked, because he himself was Wang Zhenyi's party, although he was not a core member, but he couldn't get rid of it if he really wanted to investigate it. But now, I can only step forward to receive the order: "The servant of the Ministry of Punishment succumbs to the sea to receive the order!" ”

"Immediately lead someone to guard Wang Zhen's house to me, and no one will be allowed to leave." Zhu Qiyu immediately ordered.

Qu Conghai agreed with a tangled face, he could not show favoritism in this matter, and could only act according to the order, because many colleagues knew his identity, and as long as there was a little mistake, the crime of harboring people would be directly deducted from his head.

"Where is the Forbidden Army?" The emperor suddenly spoke again, but many people were taken aback, what is this going to do? Do you want to directly arrest Wang Zhen's henchmen who were present?

Just when everyone was panicking, more than a dozen tall and strong forbidden soldiers in armor had already strode out. And the Son of Heaven also pointed to the eunuchs who were still stunned not far from him and said: "Take them all down to me and send them to Yousi Faluo!" ”

The group of eunuchs he was referring to were all people with certain functions among the celebrants, and the first of them was Cao Rui's father-in-law. And after hearing this, everyone's bodies softened, hula knelt on the ground, and screamed: "Your Majesty, the slave and maid have never done anything to be sorry for you, and the slave and maid have been wronged." ”

Only Cao Rui didn't say a word at this time, bowed his head with a pale face and was silent. When Zhu Qiyu replaced his brother as emperor, he knew that his situation was already quite dangerous. He really regretted the decision he had made in the first two months, how could he have a ghost in conflict with this royal child?

At that time, didn't he just want to know more about government affairs, just let him do it, anyway, the real decision-making power is still in his own hands, right? After that, you shouldn't think about the other party, so you are completely hated by this new emperor. But things have come to this point, and regret is completely useless, so I can only accept my fate.

Those forbidden soldiers may have paid homage to these positions in the past, but now they have a completely different mind. For these eunuchs who were disgusted by the Son of Heaven, they no longer regarded them as human beings at all. So he immediately strode forward, lifted them up from the ground like chicks, tore off their clothes and gagged them, and quickly took them down.

It wasn't until these annoying guys were taken away that the look on Zhu Qiyu's face looked a little better, and even brought a hint of a smile: "Don't panic, you Aiqing, I won't wronged an innocent person." ”

"Your Majesty is wise!" Lu Zhen took the lead in shouting, and then the others came back to their senses and praised a few words. It's just that many people are still beating drums in their hearts, although they are only attacking those eunuchs in the palace now, but it is difficult to guarantee that the Son of Heaven will not launch a liquidation of other Wang Zhen's henchmen in the future.

But at least there will be no problems in this regard now, because Zhu Qiyu quickly waved his hand and said: "It's not too early, now that the affairs of the DPRK and China are complicated, I hope that Zhuqing and I will work together to overcome the difficulties." Let's all go back to the yamen on errands! ”

The ministers breathed a sigh of relief, and after saluting again, they slowly retreated. And after Zhu Qiyu glanced at Lu Zhen and found the tired look on his face, he finally dispelled the meaning of leaving him to say a few more words.

Lu Zhen was indeed tired, and his life in the prison was not easy, and today he hurried into the palace in a hurry, and once again helped the emperor gather people's hearts and deal with the enemy.

But even though he was tired and walked with his head down, the officials around him didn't dare to underestimate this young soldier. This is not only because he has won the favor of the new emperor, but also because of the decisiveness of his actions, if he changed anyone, he would not dare to mention these two items to the Son of Heaven today, and he actually said them all, and he actually did it all!

"Good thinking ......" A voice sounded beside him, which made Lu Zhen lift his spirit slightly, and turned his head to look: "Lord Yu......" What he looked at was Yu Qian's gentle and concerned gaze.

"I've wronged you these days." Yu Qian said this first, and then said: "But what you said today is too risky for Meng Lang." Once you don't grasp it well, I'm afraid you will be counterattacked. ”

"Now, I can't take care of it too much. If Wang Zhen's party is allowed to steal a high position, it will be difficult for me to regain his strength, and I will not even be able to get over this difficulty. Long pain is better than short pain, a strong man must break his wrist! Lu Zhen said disapprerovingly. In fact, these statements were prepared as early as when he was in the prison and knew that Zhu Qizhen was defeated.

"You're still so fond of taking risks!" Yu Qian sighed helplessly.

And just as the two of them were talking and walked to the gate of the imperial city, they saw a large group of people running towards this side with a roar - Jinyi Guard!
