(Thank you for the 2,500 Zongheng coins of "Unknown Enlightenment", your support is the motivation for my writing!) )
The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were stunned when they saw Zhu Hongsan so crazy, they didn't expect this emperor to be so violent. In fact, Zhu Hongsan used to be like this, or he couldn't be wiped out when he spoke, but when he arrived in Guangzhou, he became a prisoner, and later became an emperor, so he had to pay attention to his image, so he restrained a lot.
The chair quickly shattered, and Zhu Hongsan was still angry, and kicked Li Chengen a few times before stopping. Zhu Hongsan looked at Chen Zizhuang with blood-red eyes, and said word by word: "Come on, arrest Chen Zizhuang, Yi San, no!" Nine Clans! ”
The emperor's order was a holy decree, and a group of wolf-like brocade guards immediately rushed in outside the door, knocked off Chen Zizhuang's official hat, stripped off his official uniform, and took him down.
It's like this, Zhu Hongsan is not in the mood to care about the others, he flicked his sleeves and went back to the apse, and the prince and the king of Chu hurriedly followed back to the apse. The ministers of civil and military affairs who were full of people in the house couldn't help it when they saw this ending, and the court meeting ended in a hurry.
After returning to the apse, Zhu Hongsan sat on the dragon chair to calm down, today this Chen Zizhuang is really too deceitful, and he dares to keep such a big rebellious letter?
At this time, the crown prince and the king of Chu also followed, the prince Zhu Hai saw that the emperor was angry today, and he was very happy in his heart, Chen Zizhuang committed the anger of the public, then the next step to ascend the throne should be his uncle Ma Mingyuan, which is very beneficial to himself!
But Zhu Huai, the king of Chu, didn't think so, although Chen Zizhuang also supported the crown prince, but Chen Zizhuang and Ma Mingyuan did not have a good relationship, if Ma Mingyuan replaced the first assistant, it would be very unfavorable to his cheap grandfather Tong Yangjia. So on the road just now, Zhu Huai thought that he must persuade his father not to deal with Chen Zizhuang.
After entering the house, Zhu Huai rushed to speak in front of the prince: "Father, Chen Zizhuang's letter is very suspicious, isn't it... ”
Before Zhu Huai finished speaking, Zhu Hongsan waved his hand and said, "You guys go down first!" I'm going to take a break! ”
Zhu Huai still had to open his mouth, but he didn't know that Zhu Hai glared and said, "Third brother, don't disturb your father's rest, go out with your eldest brother!" ”
Zhu Hai took out the prince's posture to press Zhu Huai, but Zhu Hai couldn't help it, so he sighed and walked out of the apse.
Zhu Hongsan was really exhausted today, and it took a lot of effort to beat Li Chengen just now, and he fell asleep after his two sons left.
Zhu Hongsan slept until the afternoon, woke up when it was almost dark, and got up to see Li Chengen standing by the bed with a blue nose and swollen face.
Seeing Li Chengen and Zhu Hongsan, he was also a little unhappy, Lao Li was completely wronged, and this matter had nothing to do with him. But Zhu Hongsan will not apologize, he is the emperor and the master, and what he does is right!
Li Chengen saw that the emperor woke up and quickly knelt down and cried: "Emperor, it's all the fault of the slaves, it was the slaves who made the emperor angry, please punish the slaves!" ”
Zhu Hongsan waved his hand to let Li Chengen stand up, and did not say anything else, but asked, "Lao Li, is your nephew in Nanjing?" ”
Li Chengen heard the emperor ask about his nephew, and his heart trembled, could it be that the emperor beat himself and was angry and wanted to beat his nephew? You must know that you are such a nephew, and you must keep it for yourself after you die.
Li Chengen was really scared when he heard the emperor ask this, and quickly kowtowed: "Emperor, the slave is at fault, please ask the emperor to punish him, let go of the slave's nephew!" ”
Seeing that Li Chengen would be mistaken Zhu Hongsan smiled and scolded: "You old Li, I asked your nephew for your own good!" Your nephew is an adult! Reward him with a hereditary brocade guard! ”
Li Chengen was overjoyed when he heard the emperor say this, and the wound he was beaten just now no longer hurt, so he quickly knelt down and kowtowed for his nephew. You must know that Jinyi Wei is the fourth grade, although the grade is not very good, the key official position is hereditary, so that his children and grandchildren will also have an iron rice bowl, this is really a great grace!
Zhu Hongsan slept and cleared his mind a lot, and felt that he had beaten Li Chengen a little too much in the morning, but the emperor couldn't admit his mistake, he could only give his nephew benefits!
Zhu Hongsan asked, "What time is it?" ”
Li Chengen got up from the ground and said: "Emperor, it's already three quarters of the hour, is the emperor hungry, and the slave will let the food be passed down!" ”
Zhu Hongsan didn't say that he wanted to eat, but asked, "It seems that I have slept long enough, who has asked to see me?" ”
"Elder Ma Ge came once in the afternoon, and the King of Chu came once! That's right, Chen Meiren came here just now! "Chen Meiren is Chen Zizhuang's widow Chen, because she was married and was still a widow, she was only named a beauty.
mentioned Chen Meiren Zhu Hongsan remembered Chen Zizhuang, now Zhu Hongsan's head is clear, and he feels that the letter in the morning is a little strange, it is normal for Lu Daqi and Chen Zizhuang to have correspondence, but Lu Daqi is an intellectual, even if he said in the letter that he was not in the right position, he would never attack his mother, is there a problem on that letter? But there are all human and material evidence, and it doesn't look like a forgery!
Thinking of this, Zhu Hongsan suddenly remembered the official who came out of the head: "Lao Li, what is the name of the head official Lin?" ”
"The emperor, his name is Lin Fengchun, and he is the head of the personnel department!"
"Yes, you take someone to his house, find him, I have something to ask him!"
Li Chengen hurriedly agreed, and then led someone to find Lin Fengchun. But not long after he went out, Li Chengen came back by himself.
"Emperor, that Lin Fengchun is dead?"
Zhu Hongsan was stunned for a moment, dead? This timing is too strange, Chen Zizhuang, who just came out in the morning, is now dead?
"Say, what the hell is going on!"
"Emperor, the slave took Dongchang Fanzi to Lin Fengchun's house, and saw the door of the house open, and the house was crying, Gu Lin Fengchun's son said that his father was fine when he left home in the morning, and when he went home at noon, he didn't know what was going on and locked himself in the study, and told his family not to disturb him, isn't it getting dark, his family went to call him to eat, only to find that Lin Fengchun had hanged himself, and his body was already cold!"
Zhu Hongsan listened in detail, and after listening to Li Chengen, he asked: "Did he still leave a letter, explaining that he couldn't bear to betray Chen Zizhuang, and his conscience was hurt, so he hanged himself!" ”
Li Chengen hurriedly took out a letter and presented it to Zhu Hongsan, saying: "What the emperor said is so right, the letter is here, please watch it!" ”
Zhu Hongsan used to do a lot of this kind of thing, grabbing a person's pigtails, and then forcing him to do things for himself as required. Zhu Hongsan didn't answer the letter, but just waved his hand to let Li Chengen go down.
Zhu Hongsan sat alone in the room, thinking about the morning, and through Lin Fengchun's suicide, Zhu Hongsan found that he had fallen into a trap. The person who was blackmailing Lin Fengchun behind his back was either Ma Mingyuan or Tong Yangjia, and Chen Zizhuang was wronged in this way.
But there is no way to be wronged, this person behind the scenes has a very accurate time, and seized the matter when Zhu Hongsan had just occupied Nanjing and fought with Zhu Youlang for orthodoxy, forcing Zhu Hongsan to kill Chen Zizhuang.
At that time, Lin Fengchun was the first Chen Zizhuang in front of hundreds of people in the Manchu Dynasty, and he really searched for a letter in Chen Zizhuang's house, and hundreds of pairs of eyes looked at it, even if the gods came, they couldn't turn over the case. In addition, Lin Fengchun is dead, which makes Zhu Hongsan want to reduce his responsibility for Chen Zizhuang.
Zhu Hongsan thought about it, this case has become an iron case, regardless of the truth or falsity of the letter, this letter has touched the legitimacy of Emperor Zhu Hongsan, and if he is not severely punished, he will endanger his own ruling foundation, and only by strictly investigating and handling it can he stabilize his throne. It's not that Zhu Hongsan pities Chen Zizhuang, he has nothing to do with Zhu Hongsan whether Chen Zizhuang is dead or not, it's just that Zhu Hongsan doesn't want to be used.
Since Chen Zizhuang is going to die, Zhu Hongsan's character is to do it or not, and if you want to ensure the legitimacy of your throne, then you Chen Zizhuang will be wronged!
Zhu Hongsan made up his mind and called Li Chengen at the door: "Lao Li, you go to pass the decree, Chen Ziqiang is rebellious, and he should have been cut in half, but Nian has been serving as the first assistant for many years, and he is specially given death!" Chen Zizhuang punished the nine clans, and the family property was confiscated! ”
After Zhu Hongsan finished speaking, he paused for a moment, and then said: "The harem beauty Chen, who was born from a low background, should have been given death, but he was thinking of giving birth to a prince for me, and now he is demoted to a concubine, and he is assigned to the Huanyi Bureau to monitor the labor!" ”
Li Chengen was frightened by Zhu Hongsan's ruthlessness, just now the emperor asked him to find Lin Fengchun, originally Li Chengen felt that the emperor could pardon Chen Zizhuang, who thought that Chen Zizhuang would destroy the nine clans in less than a quarter of an hour, you must know that the Chen family is also a big family in Guangzhou, and I don't know how many people have died under this holy decree.
But Li Chengen sighed with emotion, Chen Zizhuang died or not and he has nothing to do with it, after listening to the emperor's holy decree, Li Chengen went out and took the fans of Dongchang to start searching for Chen Zizhuang's family in Nanjing, as for the family in Guangdong, there are thousands of households in Guangzhou Jinyi Wei to arrest, and then escorted to Nanjing to be beheaded together!
The next day was the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, but the entire city of Nanjing was full of bloody storms, but at this time Ma Mingyuan was proud. In the morning, a decree came from the palace, and Ma Mingyuan took over Chen Zizhuang, who had an accident, as the new first assistant. As soon as the news came out, all the officials in the city immediately came to Ma Mingyuan's mansion to pat their feet and pat their stinky feet.
But Ma Mingyuan was not at home, he still had to go into the imperial city to meet Emperor Zhu Hongsan, and thank the emperor for letting him take on such a heavy responsibility.
Ma Mingyuan walked on the street of Nanjing with a sedan chair, although it was December and the weather was cold, but Ma Mingyuan was hot. I have been waiting for this moment for more than ten years, and I should have been the first assistant. As early as Wuchang, he was the emperor's chief adviser, and when he arrived in Guangdong, he was more than 10,000 people under one person. But with the arrival of Feng Ruoshu, Ma Mingyuan retreated to second place. That can't be helped, Feng Ruoshu is much stronger than Ma Mingyuan regardless of experience and qualifications, plus he just arrived in Guangdong at that time, and he needs an old bureaucrat like Feng Ruoshu to grasp the direction.
But Chen Zizhuang, who succeeded Feng Ruoshu, was different, Chen Zizhuang had only served as the right attendant of the Ministry of Rites before, just because the emperor wanted to unite the Cantonese people, he had to give him the first assistant, and Ma Mingyuan was really sleepless at that time!
Now it's finally good, Chen Zizhuang was finally overthrown by himself, and he is still dead, and now he has finally become the coveted first assistant, this position should have belonged to him a long time ago!
