Zhu Cihong hesitated.

It was clear that he didn't fully understand what the old foxes were playing.

He was still too young after all.

Admitting that he led the collusion with Dolgon, even under the bewitchment of Moltger, his treason can still be convicted, and his status as a faint monarch is also confirmed. trusting traitors, suspicious of loyal ministers, and not hesitating to lure wolves into the house to collude with foreign enemies to deal with loyal ministers, this absolute faint monarch, even if the orthodox history books have to record him with a faint monarch, not to mention that he also added the cruelty of the clan.

In short, he was completely ruined.

Insisting was coerced by others, and he could at least save a little bit of his reputation......

"Your Majesty, you have thought clearly!

It was you, under the bewitchment of Mao Qiling, who suspected the Duke of Chu for no reason, and even colluded with Jiannu, wanting to make Jiannu go south to join forces with the two feudal domains of Qin and Gui and the Duke of Shu, and escort you back to Nanjing. Or did Mao Qiling and others coerce you to sign an alliance to collude with Jiannu, but they later got your understanding and consent, and with your permission, they designed to kill the Duke of Chu.

The former you are guilty of treason!

In the latter, you are also guilty of treason.

Moreover, the people's prosecutor is not only prosecuting you, but also the previous Japanese slaves and the dispatch of Zhu Zhiyu to visit the pseudo-university scholar Chen Mingxia privately, and the completion of my private meeting with the pseudo-university Shi Ning.

The latter, Zhu Zhiyu, has pleaded guilty.

In addition, Wang Yingxiong, a scholar hired by His Majesty, testified.

Jiang Xizhe, the main culprit in the case of Japanese slaves, has pleaded guilty, and accomplices Huang Zongxi and others have also pleaded guilty, and said that they are all His Majesty's orders, and they are in accordance with His Majesty's will, raise funds from the people, buy Japanese slaves from the Japanese state, hire Dutch merchant ships to smuggle them to Tianjin Military Grain City, and hand them over to Jiannu to receive and transfer to Yanmen Pass. Zhu Zhiyu also confessed that he received the Japanese slaves from Jiannu in Yanmen Pass at the behest of His Majesty, and Huang Zongxi and others also had letters written by His Majesty as evidence.

Does His Majesty admit this? ”

Zhu Dadian said.

Obviously, he wanted to help the emperor and make him understand the current situation, no matter what, he could not escape the treason, and the fornication and slavery in the back were enough to convict him.

But don't anger Yang Qing and the princess again.

If it's just treason, they'll read the family affection and let you go, but if you add the preparation to blow Yang Qing to pieces, then even this bit of family affection that can save your life is gone. Although you and the princess are siblings of the same mother, with the character of the first emperor, I am afraid that the two of them have rarely seen each other since they were ten years old, let alone seven years since they left Beijing. The princess is no longer the little girl she was back then, even if she thinks of your brother, I'm afraid she will have to be a grade lower than her lover, you want to kill her lover, do you think she really doesn't dare to kill you?

What's more, she is already ready to become an empress.

Your brother originally needed to clean up the stumbling block, and in such a matter as the throne, no one would take care of family affection, it was originally between killing and not killing, and it would be really difficult to protect it if he was provoked like this.

"Since the change of the northern capital, I have been separated from the first emperor, and I have been displaced for several years, although the name of the emperor is no different from that of a prisoner, and now I finally see the tomb of the first emperor with the help of the people, and I want to share this prosperous world with the ministers and the people, so why force it?"

Zhu Cihong said gloomily.

"Your Majesty, you have nothing to do in this prosperous world."

Zhu Dadian said very directly.

"The prosperity of the Ming Dynasty is the princess supervising the country, the Duke of Chu and the ministers of the Southern Capital govern affairs, the blood and sweat of the Ming army and the people are jointly built, and Your Majesty is also the Duke of Chu led the army and the people to welcome back, and everyone here has contributed to welcoming Your Majesty. But what is Your Majesty's return? His Majesty treats the Duke of Chu with suspicion, threatens the subjects with external enemies, destroys the prosperous world with war, the Duke of Chu and his subjects treat His Majesty with sincerity, His Majesty repays him like an enemy, His Majesty talks about An Ling, what face does Your Majesty have to face An Ling? If the covenant is indeed coerced by Mao Qiling to be signed by His Majesty, if His Majesty has no such intention in his heart, who can threaten him?

Is Huoqiu Palace big?

If it weren't for His Majesty's intention, he only needed to shout that someone would naturally capture the thief for His Majesty, and if it wasn't for His Majesty's intention, he would only need to summon a loyal minister to go out and bring the escort army into the palace to capture it.

And what did His Majesty do?

His Majesty acquiesced in the imprisonment of Lu Liuliang, who opposed the Covenant, and it was not until His Majesty was arrested that the escort rescued him, and Lu Liuliang was already dying of starvation. Does Your Majesty need me to call Lu Liuliang in to confront him, it is reported that His Majesty has a good relationship with him, I wonder if His Majesty can face him? ”

Zhu Dadian then said.

Lu Liuliang was indeed almost starved to death, since he opposed the covenant, of course Mao Qiling and others didn't want him to leak his secrets after he lived, after experiencing the affairs of Tang Wang, they already knew that they had to kill people and kill their mouths, otherwise it would be a bane to keep them after all. But Mao Qiling is also an old friend with him, Zhu Cihong has a good relationship with him, and he doesn't want to sign a holy decree to die, since this is the case, don't give him food to eat and starve to death. Poor Lu Liuliang, a rich man who grew up in fine clothes and fine food, was so hungry that he gnawed cotton in the hut where he was imprisoned, if it hadn't rained and received some rain to drink, it was estimated that he would have died of thirst without starvation, and he was already dying when he was rescued.

Zhu Cihong was silent.

Indeed, if he didn't think about it, no one could have really coerced him to sign it.

"Your Majesty, you don't have the qualifications to cry out for injustice!"

Zhu Dadian said.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have confessed, why should Your Majesty resist again, the matter has come to this point, and it is useless to resist."

Ding Kuichu said.

"Isn't it your credit that I have come to this point?"

Zhu Cihong sneered.

"The ministers dare not escape their responsibilities, but if Your Majesty does not have this intention, how can the ministers do it? If Your Majesty hadn't been suspicious of Duke Chu in his heart, and he would have regarded Duke Chu as an enemy, what was the use of being bewitched? Our monarchs and ministers just hit it off, Your Majesty needs the help of your ministers, your Majesty needs Your Majesty to bring down the Duke of Chu, and your Majesty and Your Majesty take what they need. ”

Ding Kuichu said.

"But the ministers overthrew the Duke of Chu, but it was just different from the law of the Duke of Chu to govern the country, and they used what they did to disrupt the country."

Qian Qianyi then said.

He quickly led the actions of his people into the scope of infighting, after all, one died in infighting, and the traitor killed the whole family, and now their real plan has been poked out by Mao Qiling, and they will have to bear the wrath of the empress next. Then what is Yang Qing doing by wiping his neck, isn't it just lighting a fire, he doesn't know that he can't die, but the scene of him wiping his neck and rushing blood can really make the empress crazy, a woman is more terrible than a man when she is crazy! No matter how merciful the princess is on weekdays, she has also experienced a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and if she loses her mind, she will not be soft at all when she says that she will kill the whole family.

So the most important thing now is to quickly get Zhu Cihong to confess and end this matter, and suppress the princess's anger before she goes crazy, maybe she can fight for a better result.

Zhu Cihong was still hesitating.

"Confession!"

"Confession!"

……

Countless shouts rang out all around.

The representatives of the four people kept patting the small table in front of them in their seats, and the banging sound was accompanied by shouts, and it was obvious that they were all impatient.

"I'm ......"

Zhu Cihong sighed and said.

"I confess that it was I who suspected the loyal ministers for no reason under the bewitchment of Mao Qiling, and contacted Jiannu according to his plan to make Jiannu invade the south, send my troops to Nanjing, and force Chu Bus to take power."

He went on to say.

There were shouts of satisfaction all around.

"Delegates, is Zhu Cihong's treason charge conclusive?"

Zhu Dadian said to the representatives of the four people who served as jurors.

"Conclusive!"

"Treason!"

……

The representatives of the four people shouted one after another.

Zhu Dadian was shocked.

"Now the verdict is pronounced, the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong betrayed the country, betrayed the people, and should be beheaded for treason according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but after he is Taizu, Taizu has the merit of expelling the Tartars to restore China, and his descendants will be reduced and sentenced to hanging!"

He said.

"Hanging!"

"Hang him!"

……

Cheers rang out all around.

Zhu Cihong looked at Zhu Dadian in amazement.

However, Qian Qianyi was looking at him, and he didn't say that he would be hanged immediately, and his sister had to have a routine amnesty when she ascended the throne! It's just a procedure that has to be followed.

"Delegates, Zhu Cihong was hanged for treason, and he is no longer worthy to continue to be the emperor, here, as a permanent representative of the Four People's Congress, I submit to the Standing Committee for a vote to depose him as emperor, do you agree?"

Wang Fuzhi shouted.

"Agreed!"

"Depose the Emperor!"

……

The shouts sounded again, and the representatives of the four people raised their hands one after another.

Immediately after that, the inventory began.

Soon the results came out, two hundred and ninety-nine permanent representatives, two hundred and five agreed to depose the emperor, and the final result should have been announced by Yang Qing, the prime minister, but the prime minister is still in a coma in his godsister's arms! Therefore, the final result was announced by the people's judge, and since it was the people's judge, he could naturally make this solemn decision on behalf of the people......

"According to the voting results of the Standing Committee of the Four People's Congress, in the name of the people's judge, I hereby officially announce the deposition of the Ming Emperor Zhu Cihong as a concubine!"

He stood up and said.

Cheers rang out immediately.

"The country cannot be without a king for a day, Zhu Shu people are deposed, and they should be inherited by the first emperor after another meritocracy, and the eldest princess of Kunxing, since the death of the first emperor, will act as a prisoner of the country. In the past six years, education has been promoted, hospitals have been built, and the poor have been helped, so that all the people regard them as loving mothers, and they can choose the talents, so that the country will be prosperous, and the sea will be prosperous, and the army will be strengthened, and the Ming Dynasty will be invincible, and all countries will be afraid of the power of heaven. And after the first emperor, the order is second only to Zhu Shuren, although there is still a third brother in Chang'an, but the southern invasion of Jiannu is imminent, and the current intention of the king of Qin is unknown, whether he participated in the rebellion is still unknown. In a hurry, I hereby formally propose, as a permanent representative of the Four People's Congress, that the eldest princess Kunxing inherit the throne! ”

Wang Fuzhi said again.

"Agreed!"

"Empress, we want Empress!"

……

Immediately after that, the votes were counted again, and the final result was 299 permanent representatives, but 250 supported the princess's succession, which shows that the princess is really supported.

"As a people's judge, I announce that according to the voting results of the Standing Committee of the Four People's Congress, Princess Kunxing will succeed to the throne!"

Zhu Dadian stood up and said.
