And Zhu Youzhen simply asked Ruan Dayue: "Ruan Aiqing, you are the secretary of the military department, tell me how to deal with this matter." ”

Ruan Dayue guessed Zhu Youzhen's thoughts through Zhu Youzhen's expression, and replied: "Rebellious ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, if you want to blackmail Your Majesty to kill the soldiers of the pro-army at this moment, you will blackmail the courtiers to kill Your Majesty tomorrow!" ”

"Well said!"

Zhu Youzhen shot at the sky, and Gu Lin and the other members of the Duan Literature Club stopped shouting, and they all looked at Zhu Youzhen and didn't know what to say.

"As a student, you don't join the army to defend the country, you don't study in the study, and as a son of man and you don't do your filial piety at home, now you are gathered here, what do you want!"

Zhu Youzhen asked in a cold voice again.

"Your Majesty, student Gu Lin, I brought all the students here today for only one thing, that is, I ask Your Majesty and the first assistant to remove the traitor Ruan Dayue, and return the Ming Dynasty to Lang Lang!"

Gu Lin has become more and more emboldened since he left the edict in Dongchang, and he doesn't think that the Ming Emperor Zhu Youzhen will let the army execute them, the pillars of the country, not to mention that Chen Butang is also in it.

Therefore, this Gu Lin also stood up first, directly expressed his opinion, and seemed not to be afraid of Zhu Youzhen's methods with his head held high.

Seeing this, Zhu Youzhen persuaded him again: "This place is not a place to stay for a long time, whether Ruan Dayue is virtuous or not, I and the cabinet have their own public opinion, I now issue an order to let you all go back, otherwise you will be dealt with on the grounds of disobedience to the decree!" ”

Some members of the Duan Literature Club hesitated a little: "Otherwise, let's withdraw, after all, it is His Majesty's will, and we can't help but obey it." ”

"No, we can't compromise, if we can't impeach Ruan Dayue, won't what we did be in vain?"

Gu Lin gritted his teeth and said, but he didn't scold Zhu Youzhen, the dog emperor, for trying their best.

At this moment, Chu Guozuo shouted again: "Please Your Majesty kill Dong Zhining and remove Ruan Dayue!" ”

"Please Your Majesty kill Dong Zhining and depose Ruan Dayue!"

"Please Your Majesty kill Dong Zhining and depose Ruan Dayue!"

……

Zhu Youzhen lowered his face, and raised his long sword: "Rebel ministers and thieves, everyone will be punished, Xia Yunyi, Dong Zhining and others listen to my orders, these are not your brothers, but the thieves who are trying to harm my Ming Dynasty, raise their guns, kill them all, don't leave any of them, dare to force me to kill my son, like a rebellion!" ”

"Yes!"

In a moment, all 6,000 officers and men of the Guards raised their Chongzhen 19-style flintlock pistols and crackled bullets.

Chu Guozuo and other scholars threatened to kill him, Dong Zhining and other guards, and when Zhu Youzhen's order was obtained, Dong Zhining and other guards naturally would no longer be polite to these soldiers.

Suddenly, these extremely arrogant members of the Duan Literature Club fell directly to a large area, and their flesh and blood blurred the ground.

And Gu Lin, Chu Guozuo and the others were all shocked, they never expected that His Majesty would really do something to them.

Almost instantly, many members of the Duan Literature Club suddenly lost their courage and fled.

"Stop them, not a single one! Solve it quickly, since you want to kill, kill it cleanly, leave no trouble, and don't expand the impact! ”

Zhu Youzhen is too lazy to be compassionate now, these literati in front of him have been raised by Da Ming En for two hundred years, and they have long been arrogant to the point of ignoring their own imperial dignity, maybe it really takes a few more killings like this to make these people realize what the emperor's anger is.

"Yes!"

Since Wang Chengen was threatened by the civil officials to kill Zhu Youzhen, he was no longer as generous as before, and after nodding, he took the five hundred Dongchang soldiers to draw their knives and slaughtered into the smoke-filled place where the members of the Duanwen Society were concentrated, and the sharp knife pierced the chests of some members who were lucky not to die without hesitation.

The screams came and went, and almost all the surviving members of the Duanwen Society were already frightened at this moment, and they were busy prostrate on the ground and kowtowed to the direction where Zhu Youzhen was and even to the people and guards of the Dongchang Factory: "Spare your life, spare your life, we know it's wrong!" ”

"Spare your life, spare your life!"

Gu Lin was also retreating, and he could only say these two words with a trembling mouth.

And Chu Guozuo lay directly on the ground and drilled into the pile of dead people.

These scholars, who were quite complacent at first, realized the majesty of the emperor at this moment.

In the crackling gunshots, most of these stubborn members of the Duan Literature Club fell in a pool of blood.

……

At this time, Gao Hongtu and Chen Shiding in the mansion also heard the gunshots and screams outside, and hurriedly ran out.

When Gao Hongtu and Chen Shiding came out, they saw the bloody scene in front of them, and some of the students were still kneeling on the ground and killing like leeks, and they were all shocked at once.

"Oh my God, how could this be!"

Gao Hongtu ran out completely disregardively, but he also happened to see Zhu Youzhen's face, and hurriedly knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen:

"Your Majesty, this, this, why is this, Your Majesty, they are all my Ming scholars, they besiege the Weichen Mansion, although they are guilty, but they are not guilty of this, I beg Your Majesty to spare them, spare them!"

"Spare them, they tried to overthrow me and support the crown prince to ascend the throne, and they also wanted to give my country to Jiannu, why should I spare them! If you don't kill them, how can you calm the anger of our guards officers and soldiers! How to stabilize the morale of the army! The matter has risen to the military level, you don't have to worry about it anymore! ”

Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly, and continued to issue an order to kill all these chaotic parties! Leave no trouble!

At this time, Chen Shiding saw that he was in the formation, and his face was already pale with fright, knowing that things had changed a lot, and he didn't dare to come again, so he hurriedly retreated to Gaofu, looking for the courtyard wall in Gaofu Mansion and preparing to climb out.

Only Gao Hongtu is still here desperately persuading Zhu Youzhen.

But Zhu Youzhen naturally didn't listen, he already hated the arrogance of these literati to the bone marrow.

Now these soldiers even disrespect the Guards, and even to ensure the Guards' loyalty to him, he has to let the Guards slaughter this group of members of the Duanwen Society.

Only in this way can the Guards be completely opposed to the civilian clique, and they can completely control the military power of the Guards without being controlled by the civilian clique.

"Since Your Majesty insists on strict military law, the old minister has no shame to persuade again, please Your Majesty also depose the old minister's position of first assistant, the minister will not dare to accept it again, I am afraid that no one will dare to accept the position again in the future!"

Gao Hongtu took off the black gauze hat in grief and inexplicably, and at this time, Gu Lin crawled towards Gao Hongtu:

"Shoufu, Shoufu, help me, I'm Gu Lin, the grandson of Duke Gu Duanwen! Help me, I don't want to die! ”

At this time, Ruan Dayue directly dismounted and asked for a long sword from Zhu Youzhen's hand, walked to Gu Lin's side coldly, and directly stabbed Gu Lin's throat with a sword.

Gu Lin was killed on the spot!

At the same time, Ruan Dayue also knelt directly in front of Zhu Youzhen: "Your Majesty, the words of the first assistant are also false, what you killed today is just a chaotic minister and thief, and in the future, your majesty can drive the literati to have a lot of them, and the ministers are willing to lead the position of the chief assistant and revitalize the dynasty for your majesty!" ”

After Ruan Dayue said this, he glanced at Gao Hongtu provocatively, Gao Hongtu's eyes widened, he didn't expect Ruan Dayue to do this, not only killed Donglin like Gu Lin, but also directly expressed his support for His Majesty to slaughter the scholar like this.

"You! Shame on you! ”

Gao Hongtu shouted.

"No, the minister is not shameless, the minister is just loyal to His Majesty, not to the scholar!" Ruan Dayue responded loudly to Gao Hongtu.
