In the evening of the same day, Empress Dowager Zhang reconvened all the old ministers to discuss how to deal with Jiang Bin's affairs. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThis time, the deliberations of the senior members are still-for-tat, and the faction led by Wang Qiong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, strongly advocates the punishment of the nine clans. They believed that the punishment of the Zhu Shi clan was too cruel, and that it had only appeared once during the Yongle period of this dynasty, and had never appeared in other historical periods. This incomparably cruel punishment should be forbidden.

The faction led by Lu Wan, the secretary of the Ministry of War, strongly advocated that Jiang Bin should be punished by the Ten Clans. In their opinion, Jiang Bin deliberately rebelled and was arrogant, if it weren't for Jiang Bin's presence, maybe Emperor Zhengde wouldn't be so playful. Indirectly, Jiang Bin has a serious persecution effect on the entire Ming court, and even punishing his ten clans is not enough to relieve his hatred. It is to punish the ten clans to set an example to the world, so that everyone in the world knows the end of the rebellion. So that everyone in Daming is at ease and obedient to the people.

The forces of the two parties were almost balanced, and they were arguing inextricably, until they seemed to be tired of arguing and the arguments were exhausted, and the Empress Dowager Zhang made a final decision.

"This palace thinks that Jiang Bin's rebellion is a big crime, but it is not appropriate to kill innocents indiscriminately, so this palace has decided to impose the punishment of lighting a sky lantern on Jiang Bin tomorrow." The Queen Mother said softly.

Boom! Light the sky lantern, this woman is still ruthless and ruthless. You must know how much pain it takes for a prisoner to light a sky lantern. The taste burned out slowly, and the most important thing was that the prisoner would not swallow easily. Until the body is scorched and the internal organs are mutilated, it may not die completely. lit the sky lantern on Jiang Bin, which shows how much the Queen Mother hates Jiang Bin.

Yes, it is necessary to deal with Jiang Bin strictly. It is to let the people of the world know that rebellion is a great crime, and the crime cannot be punished.

Jiang Bin is dealt with like this, so I think the Queen Mother will definitely punish Jiang Bin for the Nine Clans or the Ten Clans. The old ministers all watched the Queen Mother and waited for the Queen Mother's next words. You must know that it is not just a matter of the severity of Jiang Bin's punishment now. It involves the status of the two forces in the heart of the Queen Mother. Whichever side the queen mother prefers, then the position of which side in the court will be more consolidated in the future, and the right to speak in the court will be greater.

Hehe! No matter what the era, the struggle between people will always come first.

But then the Queen Mother's words made everyone present stunned.

The Queen Mother coughed lightly before she said, "Jiang Bin's three sons were beheaded, and his thirty-seven concubines were also beheaded. Tomorrow, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, will be appointed as the supervisor and beheaded, and he will be beheaded on time at three o'clock in the afternoon! ”

After saying that, the Queen Mother didn't give everyone a chance at all, so she waved her hand at them lightly and said, "This palace is tired, let's get here today!" ”

All the courtiers were a little confused for a while, and this is the end? What about the others? For example, Jiang Bin's relatives and Jiang Bin's protégés. But the Queen Mother didn't say anything. She didn't say that she didn't agree to kill Jiang Bin's Nine Clans or Ten Clans.

Obviously, the Queen Mother's personal punishment of Jiang Bin was severe and ruthless enough. But it's a little soft on other people, it's a little light.

Alas! A woman is always a woman, and in the final analysis, she is still a soft-hearted person. Rao is Empress Dowager Zhang is already a very amazing woman, but she still doesn't have great courage.

But judging from the performance of the Queen Mother today, it is obvious that she has been carefully considered. But why did Empress Dowager Zhang do this? Is it really because of her feminine nature?

All the courtiers came out of Kunning Palace, you look at me, I look at you, and they can't help but sigh. I don't know who said softly, "Humph! It's all the reason for Qin Li, the Queen Mother really listened to Qin Li's words. This official is really unconvinced, uncomfortable, a seventeen-year-old child actually controls the decision of the Queen Mother, to put it deeply, it is affecting the politics of my Ming Dynasty.

No way! It's time to find someone to be the emperor. ”

That's right, just this morning, the Queen Mother said that she would consult Qin Li's opinion, and she came to a conclusion this evening, it seems that it should be Qin Li's idea to deal with Jiang Bin like this. What's going on? Why did Qin Li have such thoughts, could it be that the hatred between him and Jiang Bin was not deep enough? Or did Qin Li have other ideas?

Searching hard for Qin Li's past, many people came to the conclusion that there was a bitter hatred between Qin Li and Jiang Bin. There were several times when Jiang Bin wanted to kill Jiang Bin. But why did he instigate the Queen Mother to deal with Jiang Bin like this? Could it be that he didn't know the opinions of the courtiers?

No, with Qin Li's intelligence and observation, he must have known. He clearly wanted to be the enemy of the courtiers. Hum! What a Qin Li, he actually had such great courage that he did not hesitate to offend the officials of the Manchu Dynasty. This Qin Li really can't see the level of his eyebrows, and he definitely can't let him take charge of the government. I'm afraid that this kid will take the order as soon as he has the power in his hands. I'm afraid that when he really gets the power, we old ministers will be unlucky. It is necessary to prevent the Queen Mother from being promoted to his official position, and this kid should be suppressed as much as possible.

This is what most courtiers think.

Of course, there are many people who understand. For example, Yang Tinghe, the first assistant of the cabinet, and Xia Yan, the second assistant. They are all very clear about Qin Li's thoughts, Qin Li is making it clear not to make things bigger, and to stabilize the world. He is completely looking at the overall situation, if Qin Li really has power one day, there will inevitably be a new atmosphere in this court. Although he was only seventeen years old, he was a young man and an old man, and he was quite thoughtful.

The afterlife is terrible, it's really terrifying!

Especially Yang Tinghe, he once again sighed that he had such a good son-in-law as Qin Li. Once again, he admired his daughter Yang Qimeng's vision. Hehe! My daughter is naturally different, and it makes sense to marry Qin Li at the expense of being a concubine. It seems that there is no grievance for her daughter to be a concubine with Qin Li.

Thinking like this, the corners of Yang Tinghe's mouth couldn't help but show a faint smile.

Coincidentally, his expression was just seen by Xia Yan, Xia Yan smiled at him, and said with envy, "Old Yang, you really have you." We're old, we're old. Your son-in-law is much more powerful than you and me in front of the Queen Mother! ”

is just such a simple sentence, but it shocked Yang Tinghe's heart. By the way, the most important content reflected in this incident is Xiao Li's status in front of the Queen Mother.

Once upon a time, the Queen Mother and I had such a tacit understanding, and we had to consult my Yang Tinghe's opinion on any major matter. But this time, the Queen Mother rarely asked me, but only consulted Xiao Li's opinion, and made a decision immediately.

The back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, and the new generation of the court replaces the old ones!

It's old, it's really old, it seems that it's time for the rapids to retreat. (To be continued.) )
