Emperor Chongzhen discussed with several important ministers again, and then Lu Daqi, a scholar in the cabinet who was on duty, and Niu Juming, a member of the military aircraft house, wrote the content agreed upon by the emperor and the ministers into a series of holy decrees.

These scholars who were on duty in the Wenhua Hall or the Wuying Palace, as long as the emperor summoned the ministers, they had to follow them, but whatever the emperor said to the courtiers, they had to record it as it was.

One of them, called the Notes on Living, is even more detailed, and when and where the emperor met whom, what he did or what he said, including his joys, sorrows, and sorrows, will be carefully recorded.

So it's not so easy to be the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, it's not that you can do whatever you want, you can say whatever you want, unless you don't care about the reputation and image behind you at all, and the admonitions of the ministers like a tide, such as Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong.

After the people of the Zhongshu House drafted the holy decree, they first handed it over to several ministers present for viewing, and then presented it to the emperor for inspection, and after the emperor approved it, they could go to the celebrant to use the seal with the seal, and after the cabinet countersigned, it became the decision of the imperial court.

This time, almost all the contents of the decree were dictated by the emperor, and the scholars were just polishing the text, so in the hands of the ministers, there were no changes, and it soon reached the emperor's eyes.

This time, there were three copies of the decree, the first one was for the cabinet, the second was for the Beijing camp, and the other was for the military department and the Governor's Office of the Five Armies.

The holy decree to the cabinet is to the effect that during the period when Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, was in charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Left Army and the five military camps of the Governor's Jingshi, he falsely reported the salaries of the army and annexed and occupied the military tun and other serious crimes, and now Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, committed suicide in fear of the crime, and the Duke of Chengguo was deprived of his title, and the people of the original Chengguo Mansion were handed over to the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Three Law Divisions of the Inspectorate with reference to the precedent, and the trial was completed within three days in accordance with the laws of the Ming Dynasty.

Along with the three law divisions, there are also some oral evidence of true or false, real or false obtained by the military attaches Liu Tingjie, He Zan and others in Juyong Pass, which were obtained from the guards of the pass, and almost all of them are about the annexation and occupation of some nobles in Beijing.

The holy decree to the Beijing camp was to the effect that Zhu Chunchen, the former Duke of Chengguo, committed suicide in fear of sin, and has now been removed from the title of commander of the five military camps of the Beijing Division, and the post of commander of the five military camps was taken over by Xuancheng Bowei Shitai.

At the same time, he was dismissed from the post of commander of the 3,000 battalion of the Jingshi division of Xiangcheng Bo Li Guozhen, and the post was taken over by Zhang Qingzhen, a bo.

The reason why among the dozens of Hou Boxun nobles in Beijing, chose this Wei Shitai and Zhang Qingzhen is entirely because now Emperor Chongzhen knows the personalities of these two people.

As the so-called poor season is present, Bandang sees loyal ministers. When Li Zicheng's army invaded Beijing, the vast majority of the princes, marquis and other nobles in the capital chose to surrender and surrender, and only a few people spontaneously organized resistance, and committed suicide after learning that Emperor Chongzhen was martyred.

In the middle of the night of March 19, the seventeenth year of Chongzhen, there were not many nobles who chose to commit suicide and martyrdom, but among them were Xuancheng Bowei Shitai, who was in his fifties, and Zhang Qingzhen, Hui'anbo, who was nearly sixty years old at the time.

At that time, Wei Shitai's Xuancheng Bofu was the master of the Xuancheng Mansion, and the family hanged themselves to the end, and there was no one left behind.

And Zhang Qingzhen's Hui'an Bo Mansion is a self-immolation martyrdom of the family, and there is no one left behind.

Such people, not to mention their ability, at least have no problem in terms of loyalty to the liver, righteousness, gallbladder and blood integrity.

In addition to these two holy decrees, the remaining one was given to the military department and the five military governors, to the effect that the former Chengguo Duke Zhu Chunchen was dismissed from the post of the left military governor of the left military governor's office, and the post was taken over by Xinjian Bowang Xiantong; Li Guozhen, the former governor of Xiangcheng, was dismissed from the post of Zuo Governor of the former Military Governor's Office, and the post was taken over by Ning Yuanbo Li Zunzu.

Needless to say, after Wang Yangming, the first person of the inner and outer kings, Li Zicheng led the army into the city, and the other nobles surrendered one after another, and the new Bowang Xiantong swore not to surrender, and was finally killed by the army to sacrifice the flag.

As for Ning Yuanbo Li Zunzu, after the famous general Li Chengliang, he was also killed after he insisted on not surrendering after breaking into the city.

Because these two people had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty because their ancestors had made great contributions to the Ming Dynasty, and they were quite prestigious among the scholars and soldiers, they could also clean up the hearts of the army and the people by putting them in this position.

These decrees were soon issued publicly.

And with the public issuance of these holy decrees, the undercurrent surging in the circle of Jingshi Xun and Gui instantly calmed down a lot.

Emperor Chongzhen deprived the Chengguo Mansion of the title, exempted the Chengguo Mansion from the secular position, and at the same time handed over the Chengguo Mansion to the Three Law Divisions for trial and conviction, although it was unexpectedly severe, but at this time, the reason why the Chengguo Duke committed suicide in fear of crime has also been privately spread in the Jingshi Xungui circle.

They all knew the "real insider" of Cheng Guogong's suicide in fear of crime, so many people were relieved for a while.

Another thing that reassured them was that the Duke of Chengguo, who had been bitten out by the attack, was dead, but Li Guozhen, the uncle of Xiangcheng, was still imprisoned in a dignified manner, but he was removed from his position, and even the lord of the uncle of Xiangcheng was still retained.

This makes many people think that the emperor is in a big attack on the Chengguo Mansion, mainly because Zhu Chunchen, the Duke of Chengguo, is really deserving of his own unabashed mouth and criticism of the lord, and they, the noble families, are just implicated by the Chengguo Mansion.

Therefore, for a while, Jingshi calmed down.

However, these nobles and military ministers were wrong, and several of them, in particular, soon paid the price for this mistake.

Emperor Chongzhen's holy decrees were unremarkable, but they successfully divided the circle of nobles in Jingshi, and at the same time temporarily calmed the hearts of some nobles.

Taking advantage of the short interlude, Emperor Chongzhen summoned Xuancheng Bowei Shitai, Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen, Xinjian Bowang Xiantong and Ningyuan Bo Li Zunzu respectively, and explained to them the precautions after taking office.

Although these people are all meritorious heroes, they are a few of the noble families of Jingshi who have not been very valued.

Because he was not valued by the emperor, he did not have an actual assignment position, so for a long time before, his status in the circle of honors and nobles in Beijing had not been high, and he belonged to the periphery and marginal personnel.

For example, today's pie dropped, such a good thing suddenly fell on their heads, all of them were full of joy and confidence, and wanted to do something to live up to the emperor's unexpected trust in them.

After Emperor Chongzhen received the meeting, he quickly arranged for the Military Aircraft Department and the Military Department to send people, and led these people to take office with the holy decree.

At this point, the five military battalions and three thousand battalions of the three major battalions of the Beijing Division, like the Shenji Battalion, also fell into the hands of people trusted by the emperor.

Some people are happy and some are worried, the noble family that was suddenly reused by the emperor is, of course, happy as the New Year, and other noble families are about to usher in an unforgettable lesson.

Two days later, Sun Chengzong, the Minister of Military Aircraft, returned to Beijing from Jizhen and met the emperor for the first time.

After that, several holy decrees were issued, and the circle of Jingshi Xun and nobles suddenly boiled again.

Li Guozhen, the former Xiangcheng Bo, took the title and died, the family property was confiscated, and the family and more than 1,000 servants filled the three towers of the army, and served in the front of the army.

Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, was dismissed from the post of Governor of the Left Capital of the Chinese Army, and at the same time was arrested by Jinyi Wei and imprisoned, and the position was taken over by Wu Zunzhou, the Bo of Qingping.

Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, was dismissed from the post of Governor of the Left Capital of the Right Army, and at the same time was arrested by Jinyiwei, seized the title and sent to prison, and the position was taken over by Yang Chongyou, the commander of the army.

Li Zushu, Marquis of Linhuai, was dismissed from the post of Governor of the Left Capital of the Later Military Governor's Office, and at the same time was arrested by Jinyi Wei, seized the title and imprisoned, and the position was taken over by Liu Sien, the Bo of Guangning.

In addition, there were more than a dozen Jingshi nobles such as Jiang Bingzhong, Marquis of Dingxi, Marquis Sun Weifan, Marquis of Huaining, Marquis Liu Zuochang, Marquis of Anyuan, and Guo Zuoyong, who were dismissed from their posts and imprisoned.

These people were either attacked and bitten out by Li Guozhen, the Bo of Xiangcheng, or they were detected by the Jinyi guards to have the facts of illegal acts, or they were impeached by the imperial historians of the Inspectorate, or they were accused of being guilty by their own servants, and so on.

In short, all of a sudden, the situation in Beijing suddenly changed, and the Jinyiwei under Gong Yonggu and the Dongchang personnel under Fang Zhenghua rode out in all directions and arrested criminals all over the city, just like a year ago, that is, when the eunuchs were killed in November of the seventh year of the Apocalypse.

At the same time as the Jinyi Wei Ti rode out, the three law divisions also made a conclusion on the trial of the former Chengguo Mansion, and after reporting to the emperor, it was quickly implemented.

The Duke of Chengguo, which had been hereditary for nearly 200 years, was deprived and revoked, and all the property, land, and mansions of the Chengguo Mansion were confiscated, and nearly 2,000 of his brothers, wives, concubines, children, servants, and domestic slaves were all handed over to Jinyiwei and the Fujian and Zhejiang Governor's Mansion to send people to send them and exile them to Dongfanwei.

And those noble families who have been named and arrested and imprisoned, but those who have been obtained by Jinyiwei and Dongchang have conclusive evidence to prove that they or their families have violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty, will be punished for several crimes, dismissed from their posts, and exiled from their homes.

Among them, those nobles who were extremely angry in history, or who had voluntarily surrendered to the Shun army, and later took the initiative to surrender to the Manchu Dynasty, such as Xue Lian, Marquis of Yangwu, Liu Zuochang, Marquis of Anyuan, Li Guozhen, Marquis of Xiangcheng, Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, etc., were quickly executed by the emperor, and then beheaded and abandoned the city.

In this era, as long as Jinyiwei and Dongchang are willing to investigate deeply, there is no one who has not violated the law of Daming.

For one, these people are indeed bold. Second, the law of the Ming Dynasty is very detailed and comprehensive, and the punishment is very harsh.

If they lived completely according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, these noble families would not have fallen to the appearance of the anger of people and gods at the end of the Ming Dynasty.
