Qian Qianyi didn't understand why Emperor Zhu Youzhen suddenly asked him such a thing in front of his ministers.

The ministers in front of him didn't ask, but asked themselves about the old minister who had been dismissed.

No matter how stupid Qian Qianyi is, he can hear that His Majesty is deliberately investigating himself, and it may even be related to the incident in which he murdered Zhu Youzhen.

But Qian Qianyi couldn't be sure how much His Majesty the Emperor knew, whether he was testing himself.

Therefore, Qian Qianyi covered his ears and stole the bell: "The criminal did not dare to forget the grace of his father for a day. ”

"Very good, what a Qian Qianyi who has not dared to forget the grace of his father for a day!"

Zhu Youzhen stepped down from the throne and patted Qian Qianyi's arm.

Qian Qianyi smiled awkwardly, he couldn't guess what the emperor Zhu Youzhen was thinking and how much he knew.

Wang Duo, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, and Qian Qianyi have always had a deep relationship, and they are also members of the Donglin Party.

Now, when Wang Duo saw that His Majesty the Emperor Zhu Youzhen did not ask the ministers to ask Qian Qianyi alone, he thought that His Majesty intended to restore Qian Qianyi, and he himself wanted to enhance the power of the Donglin Party in the court, so he stood up:

"Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi is loyal to the king, has the world in mind, is honest and honest, and now that the state affairs are difficult, the ministers have the courage to use Qian Qianyi."

Chen Zhilan, a scholar at the Hanlin Academy, was a protégé of Qian Qianyi, and when he saw that Wang Duo, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, had already started, he also came out to ask Zhu Youzhen to reactivate Qian Qianyi.

Immediately afterwards, Li Youlong, the right attendant of the Criminal Department, also stood up: "Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi is famous, and he has the talent to help the world and the country, and he can use it to determine the world." ”

Zhu Youzhen shook his head, he wanted to laugh in his heart, this group of Donglin Party members was really more than empty talk, and their eyesight was insufficient, so they couldn't detect their true intentions.

"Do you all think that Qian Qianyi is a capable minister who is loyal to the king?" Zhu Youzhen turned around and asked the civil and military officials in the hall.

Except for some who remained silent, most of the civil and military officials replied in unison.

Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but cool down.

In the Manchu Dynasty, there were so many ministers who only knew how to go with the flow or were mediocre in intelligence or catered to the holy will, Zhu Youzhen could hardly imagine how far such a minister could let the future Ming go and how he could resist the southern invasion of the Tartars.

Qian Qianyi breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he was a little proud to see that so many ministers were helping him speak.

He could see that there were still quite a few officials in his Donglin Party, and they could all stand up and say good things for themselves at this time.

Qian Qianyi thought to himself that even if His Majesty knew what he was doing, he was afraid that he would be afraid of so many ministers of the DPRK and China who supported him.

What's more, he has just arrived in Nanjing now, and his foothold is still unstable.

It is not unreasonable for Qian Qianyi to lose to Wen Tiren in the previous court struggle, he did not realize at this moment that the more the hundred officials threatened the emperor Zhu Youzhen, the more Zhu Youzhen had to establish his authority and severely punish the perpetrators, so as to have the effect of killing chickens and monkeys.

On the contrary, Qian Qianyi thought that this would threaten Zhu Youzhen and make him afraid to kill him.

But what Qian Qianyi would not have thought of was that Emperor Zhu Youzhen of the Ming Dynasty was not the Hongguang Emperor in the original history, as Chongzhen, he had his own military power.

"Bring Wu Weiye, Gong Dingyu, Tan Chuanzhu, Hou Fangyu, and Dong Zuyuan up!"

Zhu Youzhen didn't plan to be subtle anymore, he let out a loud shout and sat back on the throne.

As soon as Qian Qianyi heard the names of these five people, his face turned pale.

The ministers were also puzzled why His Majesty suddenly brought these people up, and the Nanjing officials in the court all looked at each other.

Except for Wu Weiye and Gong Dingyu, many of the other three have never heard of it, so they can't guess what His Majesty is going to do.

And at this time, it just so happened that the Nanzhili patrol according to the imperial history had also been beheaded outside the palace by the guards and soldiers.

His head was brought in: "Your Majesty, Nanzhili Patrol Imperial Shi Gu Lianggong has been executed!" ”

"Hanging in the lobby of the Imperial Procuratorate, take a good look at the imperial historians, this is the fate of Mu Wujun!"

After Zhu Youzhen said this, he glared at the ministers angrily.

The ministers didn't dare to speak anymore when they saw the bloody head and Zhu Youzhen's cold and terrible face.

At this moment, they realized that His Majesty was killing people.

And Qian Qianyi was like falling into an ice cellar at this time, especially when he saw Gu Lianggong's head, he seemed to see himself, and his hands trembled and trembled.

Wu Weiye, Gong Dingyu, Tan Chuanzhu, Hou Fangyu, and Dong Zuyuan were escorted over, and they all knelt in front of Zhu Youzhen.

"Let them face them Mr. Qian Muzhai!"

As soon as Zhu Youzhen said this, the guards asked the five people to turn around.

At this time, Qian Qianyi had already knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, Weichen is guilty!" ”

"You are guilty, what are your crimes, most of the civil and military officials in the court just now said that you are loyal to the monarch and love the people, and even with you yourself said that you did not dare to forget your father, how can a great loyal minister like you be guilty."

Zhu Youzhen laughed, but then his face turned cold again, and the killing intent was revealed.

Qian Qianyi wanted to slap himself so that His Majesty could relieve his anger and spare himself, but when he thought that the slap was too painful, he had to kowtow:,

"The criminal minister should not be obsessed, for the selfish interests of one party, plot to kill His Majesty, and commit the heinous crime of disloyalty and filial piety, and the sinking of the Dantu Imperial Boat is indeed committed by the criminal minister."

"What!" The officials couldn't help but be shocked.

Wang Duo, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Rites, was also eager to slap himself a few times now, because he only now knew that Qian Qianyi was called to the court by His Majesty today, not because His Majesty wanted to use Qian Qianyi to win over the Donglin Party, but to kill Qian Qianyi in front of the ministers and suppress the Donglin Party.

And he was the first to stand up and ask Zhu Youzhen to use Qian Qianyi just now.

Gao Hongtu, the secretary of the Nanjing Ministry of Officials, also suddenly stood up: "No wonder Qian Muzhai, you told me that day that you would not be in a hurry to go out of the city to meet the holy driver, saying that you would know the reason in a few days, and now it seems that this is the case?" ”

Qian Qianyi nodded, prostrate on the ground, he was not feeling good in his heart, where did he think that the foolproof plan would fail.

"Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi, intended to murder the monarch's father, shameless, heinous crimes, almost put my Ming into a crisis of destruction, please Your Majesty Ling Chi this person!"

Jin Xuan, the left attendant of the bachelor's department of the Hanlin Academy, stood up and glared at Qian Qianyi angrily.

As an official who retreated south, his respect and dependence on Zhu Youzhen were naturally incomparable to those of officials in Nanjing, so now that he knew that the culprit was Qian Qianyi, Jin Xuan, even if he was also an official from the south, did not hesitate to stand up and ask Zhu Youzhen to severely punish Qian Qianyi.

"Yes, Your Majesty, Qian Qianyi is not sentenced to death, it is not enough to be a righteous dynasty, and the intention of killing the monarch is like rebellion, not only Ling Chi, but also the nine clans!"

Shen Jiayun, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, also stood up.
