In the past few days, Zhu Qizhen has sent people to ask everyone about the relevant situation, such as whether they can read and write, whether they can do arithmetic, what they have done, in short, there are some strange and confusing questions.

A few days ago, Zhu Qizhen met with them for the first time, but Zhu Qizhen did not let them stay to perform their duties, but only comforted them gently, saying that there would be other important tasks at that time, and after entrusting them, he sent them back to the place where they were under house arrest.

After that, he sent people to bring a large number of account books, so that they could settle all kinds of real estate, fields, gold and jade antiques, fortunately, until the beginning of Xuanzong, the eunuchs in the inner court must be literate, and these eunuchs are mostly working at the grassroots level, running errands and working hard, such things, although they are not good at doing it, but practice makes perfect, and after a few days of hard work, they can also do it well.

However, until now, all people still can't figure out what the Emperor means by entrusting him with a heavy responsibility. Just this morning, the emperor sent people to edict Ruan Lang and several other eunuch leaders to leave the house arrest, but did not go to the palace to meet the emperor, but directly led them to the barracks where the public trial was about to be held.

Let themselves and others participate in this public trial, which made them even more confused, but they didn't dare to ask the emperor, so they could only hold back the doubts in their hearts and slowly look at the development of things, what the situation was. As for the five eunuchs, as well as the henchmen and henchmen of those eunuchs, they were all guarded by the brocade guards and messengers not far behind the school platform, and there were at least a hundred people tied up densely.

Wang Jinchang watched the originally empty back camp gradually being crowded by the crowd, and couldn't help but say with some concern: "Your Majesty, it seems that there are really no people who come today, at least there must be twenty or thirty thousand people, and there are still a lot of people outside who want to pour in, if there are too many people, I am afraid that it will be ...... for a while."

"Well, tell the soldiers at the camp gate, don't let people in, anyway, this barracks has no walls, just some fences, they can see and hear outside." Zhu Qizhen looked at some of the surging crowds, and was also afraid that if there were too many people, in case of any stampede, the perfect public trial meeting that he had originally prepared might become a stain on the dirt, so he decided to agree with Wang Jinchang's suggestion, and commanded.

-------------------- not a lot of effort, under the combined force of more than 100 border soldiers at the gate of the camp, they finally cut the crowd into two, and used the wooden deer to block the position of the camp gate solidly, although there are still many people who want to pour in and are turned away from the door and scold their mothers, but in the face of those fierce and incomparable, cold as iron as the border soldiers, they can only watch from the outside of the barracks fence.

At this time, the cowhide drums in the barracks began to beat at the shouts of the officers, and the earth-shattering drums completely covered up the noise of the noisy crowd, and shook the branches and leaves of the broad-leaved trees that stood outside the barracks. Everyone quickly fell silent, and they knew that the big drama was finally about to begin.

The noisy sound of war drums was enough to beat nearly half a cup of tea before it stopped, and at this moment, inside and outside the back camp, whether it was the people and gentry who were responsible for maintaining order or those who came to watch the public trial and judgment meeting, they were all silent at this moment, and they all looked at Zhu Qizhen, who slowly stood up from the school platform and walked to the front of the school platform, wearing a bright yellow dragon robe.

Zhu Qizhen looked down at the face full of curiosity and eagerness on the first line, and his heart couldn't help but become more and more agitated, not only to establish his complete prestige among the civil and military ministers of Xuanfu, but also to leave a perfect and wise imperial posture among these people and gentry.

"All the people and gentry, presumably you and others, should know that since last year, the border town of Xuanfu has suffered bad luck and military disasters one after another, causing the parents and elders of Xuanfu to have to suffer from the pain of leaving their hometowns, and the difficulty of separating their wives ...... such things."

His hands were tied behind his back, and two fierce border sergeants were escorted to Yan Shun, who was standing on the side of the school platform, and he was extremely haggard at the moment, he who already looked thin and thin, was almost in the sun-dried straw body at this moment, and even the originally shrewd and cunning eyes looked so shriveled and sluggish at this moment.

Looking at the Emperor Zhu Qizhen, who was standing on the platform of the school, standing with his hands in his hands, and facing tens of thousands of military and civilian gentry, Yan Shun found for the first time that the original Emperor Taishang, who was gentle and elegant, rarely angry, and kind to others, had changed.

He became extremely confident and decisive, becoming more heroic and upright, and between his every move, he no longer paid attention to elegance and demeanor like that weak scholar, and every time he waved his arms, every time he raised his eyebrows or raised his head, there was an indescribable pride and majesty.

Yan Shun couldn't help but suddenly think of the fact that when he first entered the Forbidden City, he had seen the ancestor Zhu Di, who had the style of a king who ruled the world when facing the ministers. "Unexpectedly, after this calamity, the Emperor Taishang has become what he is now......" Yan Shun couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth slightly, and muttered to himself in a low voice.

“…… These ministers, since they are ordered by the Son of Heaven, should fulfill their duties and share the worries of the court. However, the ministers enjoy honor and do not care about the feudal territory. It poisons the people, and when it changes, it has hope......"

“…… Deducting military salaries and serving in soldiers is their daily routine. Each brings a participant, occupies the army companion in his service, and pays monthly rations. As a result, the officers and men of the border army were resentful and many of them fled. It's all the fault of the ministers. ”

"The sergeants on all sides are not refined and unarmed, so they should be full of strong things and repair more weapons, so as to be a defense against foreign enemies. However, instead of urging the hard work, the ministers of the town guard went around to collect henchmen, and entrusted them with strong and solid households, serving as leaders and companions, and other items as their minions......"

What's more, they take extra money for famous service, pay monthly money, embezzle military salaries, delay military opportunities, and even ask for rewards for meritorious service, and do not hesitate to kill good people...... There are many disadvantages and it is difficult to enumerate. The sheer number of his sins shocked me. ”

Zhu Qizhen's loud and excited voice echoed in the silent barracks, and the people all looked hateful and hateful eyes, all staring at the eunuchs and their minions who were bound and detained on the side of the school platform.

"Today, my Xuanfu guards and guards the ministers, and they are tyrannical and invade. If there is a policeman, they will have elite soldiers to defend themselves, and if they defeat the enemy, they will make efforts in their subordinates. Wu Ben used it to make a fate, and the Xian Si did not dare to ask. The leader of the family he brought with him was a scoundrel. Devouring and strife, the momentum is the same as that of wolves and tigers, causing the three armies to be discouraged and discouraged. ”

-------------------- "My heart is very painful, and I regret it very much, if I had known that the ministers had done all the bad things when they had not shared the worries of the court, how could I allow such things to happen again?!" Zhu Qizhen took a deep breath: "Today, I propose to hold this public trial and public judgment conference, just to let the people of Xuanfu Border Town know that the court will not ignore these scourges that harm the people, let them be arrogant and wanton, and let the people of the world know that as long as there are such things again, I will punish them, and the Ming Dynasty cannot be corrupted in the hands of these thieves, whether he is a minister or a foreign minister, don't think that he does things secretly, you know, the sky is watching, people are watching, I, I'm watching you guys, too! ”

With the last shout of Zhu Qizhen, it was like a thunderclap in the clear sky, blasting into the hearts of those eunuchs and their minions who were already bound aside. The hearts of those civil and military ministers behind Zhu Qizhen exploded, causing their hearts to sway, and cold sweat flowed.

Tens of thousands of military and civilian gentry inside and outside the camp bowed to the ground, and the voice of the emperor was like a mountain torrent, and even like a storm, swept over the entire barracks, and even drifted into the Xuanfu City outside Lixu, for a long time...... Luo Hengxin had already heard that he couldn't help himself, wiped the muddy tears in the corners of his eyes, led the ministers of civil and military affairs, and bowed solemnly and solemnly to Zhu Qizhen, who was standing in front of the school platform, as if he was facing the gods he believed in.

Yuan Bin and the others also felt that their throats were blocked and they couldn't say a word, but their eyes full of fanaticism and worship were enough to show that in their minds, the image of the Emperor Taishang, who was full of countless legends, was so tall and majestic, worthy of their sweat and blood, and even their lives.

"Bring the prisoners up, the public trial conference, start now!" With the gesture of that Zhu Qizhen. Wearing a shining general's iron armor, Yang Neng, who was quite tall, stood up and shouted loudly.

Twenty prisoners who had been tied up by five flowers were escorted to the school platform by forty fierce border town soldiers to kneel down in front of the school platform, and then, Xuanfu Town, according to the prosecutor Zhao Zifu, stood up and ordered his subordinates to start reading out the various crimes committed by these twenty prisoners in various parts of Xuanfu border town in the barracks.

In order to achieve better results, Zhu Qizhen specially ordered Zhao to say that from the more than 1,000 case files, he specially selected the case files with great public anger and serious charges to read out, which not only saved time, but also shocked the hearts of the military and civilian gentry even more.

So much so that every crime that was read out seemed so shocking. It aroused the resentment and scolding of the common people and gentry, but they were soon forced to hold themselves down, and they were all eager to know how many things these guys had done and how many bad things they had done.

“…… When the decision is made, to follow the example! With the shouting of the last sentence of Na Zhao's self-proclaimed drama and flowery tone, the forty murderous border sergeants quickly lowered the figure of the twenty prisoners who knelt on the ground, and stepped up with twenty executioners holding ghost head knives in their hands, ** the executioners on the upper body, with Yang Neng's loud shout, the twenty martial arts snow shone so brightly that the eyes of everyone present were dazzling, and after that, it was the crimson ......
