After the other officials left, Zhu Youzhen knew who Li Yan was, and saw Li Yan standing by the door in a black gauze scarlet official robe, and the placket seemed to be soaked for most of it.

Being so thin and sweating profusely in the heat, it could be seen that he had a deficiency disease, Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but think that maybe transferring him to Beijing would also seem to be good for his body.

However, Zhu Youzhen didn't pay attention to Li Yan at this time, and only looked at Fan Jingwen: "The matter of taxation is something I have been thinking about for a long time, if I don't do this, Daming will still die, Aiqing can stand up, I am really pleased, I stay, I just tell you, no matter what the result is in the future, I will not kill you, and this matter, I am your biggest backer, you don't have to be afraid, don't worry about it boldly, if anyone offends you, it is equivalent to offending me!" I'll get the Second Guard Army to assist you, and you'll know tomorrow. ”

"Your Majesty's understanding makes Wechen grateful, please rest assured, Wechen is by no means greedy for life and afraid of death! Although Weichen does not have the talent of Kuang Fu Sheji, but he also has the heart of Kuang Fu Sheji, thanks to His Majesty's simple pull, now he is in the position of the first assistant, if he does not do one or two big things, he will not have the face to see His Majesty and the people of the world! ”

Fan Jingwen said that he retired, and he had to be ready to gather the cabinet members and household officials and determine the specific matters of taxation.

As soon as Fan Jingwen left, in the entire main hall, only Zhu Youzhen and Li Yan were left.

Li Yan's breathing was a little faster, he didn't know what Zhu Youzhen was keeping him for, was it to cure himself for the crime of joining Li Zicheng?

Frankly speaking, Li Yan was psychologically prepared to be dealt with by Zhu Youzhen long before entering Beijing, after all, he was not a homeless person like Gao Yigong, even if he rebelled, it was forgivable, and he was the son of a gentry, and he was favored by the country, but he embarked on the road of rebelling against the imperial court, not to mention that Zhu Youzhen could not forgive him, and even he himself had always been obsessed with it.

"Tell me, how do I reward you?"

Zhu Youzhen said suddenly, he also felt a little tired after sitting for a long time, he couldn't help but stand up, stretched, walked over and patted Li Yan on the shoulder: "Wuchang is well guarded, and the army can be in danger, so I really didn't expect that Du Yinxi praised you like Wuhou Chengyi in the song, which made me a little unbelievable." ”

Li Yan was a little surprised, he couldn't help but shrink his shoulders, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, he didn't expect Chongzhen Emperor Zhu Youzhen to ask him like this in the first sentence, he thought that he was about to be punished for a capital crime, but he didn't expect to be asked what reward he wanted, which made Li Yan instinctively have a good impression of this emperor Zhu Youzhen in his heart.

"You seem to be a little scared of me, what are you laughing at now?"

Zhu Youzhen asked, there are very few descriptions of Li Yan in historical materials, so he doesn't know Li Yan very well, only knows that Li Yan is an important figure for Li Zicheng to change his rogue into a hero who wins the world, it can be said that it is because of Li Yan that Li Zicheng has a political program, and it is precisely because of this that Zhu Youzhen feels that Li Yanzhicai should be above Li Zicheng.

"Weichen is just, just the first time I saw the holy face, I was afraid, and now I heard that Your Majesty wants to reward Weichen, and Your Majesty said that the blocking platform is boasting about Weichen in the song, Weichen feels stupid, and he is afraid of disappointing His Majesty, so he laughs", Li Yan stammered back, he didn't know why, he was more nervous in front of Zhu Youzhen than in front of Li Zicheng.

"At least in the first battle of Huguang, you didn't disappoint me, you have the overall situation, the enemy is the first, but with the body of a scholar, you make a fierce general obey, I don't need you, isn't it my stupidity?"

Zhu Youzhen said and said: "Huguang, you don't have to go back, stay in this Daming School of Administration first, I have another important use for you, you are temporarily in the Generalissimo's Mansion as a scholar, this was originally an official position in the cabinet, but the Generalissimo's Mansion is the same as the Cabinet, after you enter the Generalissimo's Mansion, you can consult the copywriting at will, after you finish checking, I will study you!" ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youzhen glanced at him again: "From the governor of Huguang to the Zhongshushe, you won't think the Zhongshusheren is too young?" ”

"How dare Weichen, he can enter the center, Weichen is grateful!" Li Yan hurriedly replied.

Zhu Youzhen only smiled faintly and walked out: "Summoning all the ministers to Hongwumen!" ”

……

Hongwu Gate, formerly called Guangjing Gate, is the south gate of Nanjing, is the southernmost city gate on the central axis of the Forbidden City of Nanjing, there is a thousand-step corridor facing north-south behind the city gate, and after the thousand-step corridor is the location of the central important institutions of the Governor's Office of the Five Armies and the six departments except the Criminal Department.

Zhu Youzhen summoned his ministers to gather in Hongwumen, naturally not to inspect their office locations, but to deal with the Qing court Zhishun Wang Shang Kexi in Hongwumen.

For political needs, Zhu Youzhen did not plan to Ling Chi this time, this is naturally not because he is benevolent, but because Ling Chi is too time-consuming, and the governors and commanders of various places cannot delay too long in the capital, so Zhu Youzhen had to change the way he dealt with Shang Kexi in order to let these important officials who entered Beijing really witness the end of a traitorous minister.

Fan Jingwen and other civil officials, Huang Degong and other military attaches have all gathered in the thousand-step corridor at this time, while Zhu Youzhen is sitting on the chariot, wearing a wing crown, wearing a dark color gown, looking at the five brocade captains in the sunset flying fish costume who are riding step by step in front of him, riding a five-colored horse, holding an embroidered spring knife, facing His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen.

And behind these five brocade guards is the Qing court Zhishun King Shang Kexi, who is staggering, at this time Shang Kexi is dressed in cloth prison clothes, but also washed white, his face is as white as snow, and the money rat tail is particularly eye-catching under the sunset.

Shang Kexi raised his head and looked at Zhu Youzhen, just laughed stupidly, and then shook again, crying and crying.

The civil and military officials on both sides of the corridor can see it very clearly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, do you know who this person is?" As Zhu Youzhen spoke, he shouted again: "The Duke of Yasukuni told them." ”

"Yes!"

Huang Degong walked out: "Your Majesty, colleagues, this person is the king of Jiannu Zhishun, who abandoned the country and abandoned the king, slaughtered his fellow clans, and took refuge in Jiannu and was heinous!" ”

"It's still gratifying!"

The officials present all showed shocked expressions, and looked at Shang Kexi's eyes and couldn't help but become a little more serious.

"Shang Kexi, although you are heinous, but I also contributed to the Ming Dynasty with Mao Dudu in the past, so I changed Ling Chi to five horses and divided the corpse, you lie down yourself, let everyone present see the end of your traitorous minister, and wait for the traitor's life, just like this sunset, you can only enter the darkness!"

Zhu Youzhen shouted like this, and Shang Kexi also knew that this was the end, so he also lay down obediently.

Zhu Youzhen waved his hand, and the five brocade guards began to disperse, and the five iron chains on the limbs and neck of Shang Kexi began to disperse, and then the five brocade guards accelerated their horses, and the horse speed became faster and faster, and in a moment, only a stabbing sound was heard, Shang Kexi was torn into six pieces by the powerful horsepower, and his body was still trembling in the middle, and the head had already dragged out a blood stain on the ground, and the limbs flew up, spilling bright blood under the residual sun.
