On the huge Dharma field, the surroundings were firmly blocked by the soldiers of the Beijing camp, and on the high platform, several figures sat on the prison platform.

Chu Yi sat firmly in the center in a python suit, and on his left was Jiao Fang, who was the first assistant of the cabinet, but the person on the right was an unusual identity, and he was the contemporary Yan Shenggong, Kong Wenshao.

Chu Yi was talking to Kong Wenshao in a low voice at this moment: "This time, I am tired of the Holy Father Yan who has traveled thousands of miles to come to Beijing......

Hearing this, Kong Wenshao hurriedly said: "Where is the overseer, Your Majesty beckons, and we should act as courtiers." ”

Chu Yi bowed slightly, and looked at the people of the Zhu clan who were slowly walking out of the prisoner car, and with Chu Yi's gaze, Kong Wenshao naturally saw the patriarch and clan elder of the Zhu clan.

The Zhu family has flourished with Zhu Zi to this day, and even faintly suppressed the limelight of the Confucian family within Confucianism for a period of time.

If you want to say that the relationship between the Kong and Zhu families is very good, I am afraid that no one will believe it.

At this moment, seeing the Zhu family end up like this, Kong Wenshao was full of emotion in his heart.

That is, the unscrupulous Chu chief in front of him, otherwise, if he were someone else, he would definitely not have the courage to be so ruthless to the Zhu family.

Even this time, the Son of Heaven issued an edict to summon him to Beijing, as a member of the prison and beheading officials, Kong Wenshao had no doubt that this suggestion was from Chu Yi nine times out of ten.

Regardless of whether the Zhu family is guilty of this or not, it is undeniable that the Zhu family has considerable influence among the people in the world.

If this were not the case, it would not have been possible for so many officials to write letters to the Son of Heaven to pardon the Zhu family.

You must know that a few cabinet elders have tried their best to suppress the influence of hundreds of officials in the DPRK and the central government and dilute the influence of the Zhu family, but Confucianism is prevalent, how can a few cabinet elders easily suppress it.

It just so happened that the Confucian family was very knowledgeable, so Chu Yi suggested that the Son of Heaven summon Kong Wenshao, the contemporary Yan Shenggong, into Beijing, and let Kong Wenshao personally supervise the beheading of the Zhu family, which could at least reduce the overreaction of the people in the world to a certain extent.

Chu Yi's gaze was withdrawn from the people of the Zhu clan, and he looked at Kong Wenshao with a smile on his face and said: "The Zhu clan is really a scholar in vain, even the Son of Heaven dares to assassinate, in their eyes, I am afraid that there is no loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, and righteousness of the Confucian saints, such scum among the literati, Yan Shenggong thinks that they should not be killed!" ”

Kong Wenshao bowed to Chu Yi with a look on his face and said: "What the chief manager said is very true, according to Kong's opinion, the Zhu family is not worthy of being a scholar of my generation at all, and the old man decided to write a text afterwards to denounce the Zhu family for being disloyal, unfilial, and unkind, so as to inform the world's scholars." ”

Chu Yi couldn't help but chuckle and nodded when he heard this: "Yan Shenggong has a heart, if His Majesty knows, he will definitely be very happy." ”

Just as Chu Yi and Kong Wenshao were talking in a low voice, an official stepped forward and whispered, "Chief Manager, the time has come!" ”

Chu Yi raised his head, looked at the sky, nodded slightly, and slowly got up, while Kong Wenshao and Jiao Fang also got up.

Standing on the high platform, Chu Yi's gaze swept over the group of criminals below, led by Jiang Mian, many criminals were present, and many people couldn't help but scold on the spot when they saw Kong Wenshao, Chu Yi, and Jiao Fang.

Especially the elders of the Zhu clan scolded Kong Wenshao.

Chu Yi sighed slightly, stretched out his hand to take the token, threw it out casually, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and shouted in a deep voice: "The hour has come, execution!" ”

From noon to evening, thousands of criminals were beheaded, and the executioners changed wave after wave, and the bloody atmosphere was soaring, and many people who came to join in the fun and watch from afar may have been very excited at first, but in the end, they were all looking at the blood-stained Dharma field in horror.

After this day, among the Jingshi, Ti Chu's color changed.

Yan Shenggong Kong Wenshao fell ill, but he still dragged the sick body and wrote a letter by hand the next day, denouncing the crimes of the Zhu family.

In the secluded hall, Zhu Houzhao sat in it, the civil and military officials below were lined up on both sides, and Chu Yi stood on the left side of Zhu Houzhao in a python suit, living below the Son of Heaven and above the hundred officials.

I only heard Gu Da say in a sharp voice: "Something to start, nothing to retreat!" ”

I have to say that after some rectification, the civil and military officials no longer dare to underestimate the Son of Heaven, especially Zhu Houzhao has enabled a large number of newly promoted officials.

These new officials can be described as super-appointed, and they are still a little in awe of the Son of Heaven, plus not long ago, they watched Zhu Houzhao wave his imperial pen and kill hundreds of court officials, even those old ministers who held their own identities in the past no longer dared to underestimate the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Houzhao's gaze swept over the group of civil and military officials below.

At this moment, an official stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the Qianqing Palace was destroyed by fire, so that Your Majesty's bedroom was destroyed, and the minister implores Your Majesty to order the rebuilding of the Qianqing Palace......"

A fire razed the Qianqing Palace to the ground, and the situation between the DPRK and China has not been stabilized, but now that the overall situation of the capital has been decided, the natural reconstruction of the Qianqing Palace has raised the agenda.

Zhu Houzhao bowed slightly, his eyes fell on the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and said: "Wang Shangshu, for the rebuilding of the Qianqing Palace, I will allocate 100,000 taels of silver from the internal treasury, and the Ministry of Industry will come up with a plan to rebuild the Qianqing Palace as soon as possible!" ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu issued a list of respectful orders and said: "The minister will live up to His Majesty's expectations!" ”

Suddenly, outside the Fengtian Palace, an attendant screamed: "Report, eight hundred miles south of the Yangtze River urgently!" ”

Zhu Houzhao's expression moved, and he said in a deep voice: "Xuan! ”

A group of civil and military officers in the court and the central government looked towards the entrance of the main hall one after another, and generally speaking, the things that can be used for 800 miles to report are important matters related to the safety of the country.

For Daming, even if something happens, it is generally an urgent report from the border towns in the north, and Jiangnan has always been stable, but now there is an emergency report of 800 miles, and many people are naturally very puzzled.

Soon a messenger was carried into the main hall by two golden guards, and fell to the ground, and the messenger took out a letter from his bosom with trembling hands.

Gu Dayong personally stepped forward to take the letter, checked it, and then presented it to the Son of Heaven.

Zhu Houzhao opened the letter, his eyes swept and his expression suddenly changed, and he slapped on the table and said angrily: "Okay, what a King Ning, he actually killed the court officials and rebelled!" ”

When the officials of the DPRK and China heard this, their expressions couldn't help but change, and an official couldn't help but say to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, at this time, when it comes to the rebellion of the vassal king, you must not take it lightly, I don't know who sent this 800-mile urgent report!" ”

Zhu Houzhao handed the letter to Chu Yi and said: "Jiangxi envoy Wang Yangming and Jiangxi governor Chen Tai jointly played. ”

Soon the letter was circulated in the hands of several cabinet veterans.

As the first and auxiliary minister of the cabinet, Jiao Fang took a deep breath and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Tai and Wang Yangming are in a hurry, from Jiangxi to the capital, I am afraid that nearly three days have passed until now, if it is really as urgent as the two of them said in their letters, I am afraid that King Ning may have ...... at this time."

Zhu Houzhao nodded slightly, in fact, even if Jiao Fang didn't say it, Zhu Houzhao could guess that at this time, King Ning must have already left Nanchang City.

After all, according to Wang Yangming and Chen Tai, King Ning actually held a banquet in the palace three days ago, booby-trapped and killed more than a dozen Jiangxi officials such as the Nanchang prefect, the Nanchang garrison, and the Jiangxi general soldier.

Many officials were shocked to learn of the contents of the letter.

After all, what King Ning did was really a big rebellion, and as for the so-called banner on the side of the Qing monarch, everyone knew it.

All of a sudden, the eyes of all the officials were on Zhu Houzhao.

Although Zhu Houzhao said that he was very angry, his reaction was not as fierce as the officials thought, and he only heard Zhu Houzhao say in a deep voice: "A few cabinet elders stayed to discuss with me, and hundreds of officials retreated!" ”

In the imperial study, Zhu Houzhao had already changed into his regular clothes at this time, and sat there, looking at several pavilion elders and several governors of the Five Armies Governor's Mansion who were recruited by the Son of Heaven by order.

These dozen or so people can be said to be the heads of the Ming Dynasty and the martial arts, gathered here at this time, everyone looked at Zhu Houzhao, and then looked at Chu Yi who was sitting there.

I thought that Chu Yi, who had always been Zhu Houzhao's arm, would react very fiercely in the face of King Ning's rebellion, but to their surprise, Chu Yi was sitting there and drinking tea leisurely, as if he had not heard the news of King Ning's rebellion at all.

Chen Ding was old-fashioned and upright, seeing the reaction of the Son of Heaven and Chu Yi, he couldn't help coughing lightly, and said with a bit of urgency: "Your Majesty, the chief manager, King Ning's rebellion should not be underestimated, and the court must come up with a countermeasure as soon as possible." ”

Li Wenchang, the former military governor's mansion, stroked his beard and said: "Your Majesty, the chief manager, the minister thinks that King Ning is not enough to worry about, and the king of a feudal domain dares to rebel, don't you see Zhu Ningjiao raise troops, and he was not even able to get out of Ningxia to be pacified, and the minister expected that King Ning was also like Zhu Ningyao, with loud thunder and small raindrops, and he couldn't turn up any wind and waves!" ”

Wang Hua coughed lightly, glanced at Li Wenchang and said: "Li Dudu, the land of Ningxia border towns, how can it be compared with Jiangnan, you must know that King Ning has always had a good name in Jiangnan, and this time he raised troops, he must have a perfect plan, the most important thing is that from Nanchang down the river, only hundreds of miles away from Nanjing City, if King Ning occupies Nanjing City, it will become a prairie fire, this disaster is a big disaster, Your Majesty Wanwang and the Metropolitan Governor cannot wait to ignore it!" ”

Chu Yi glanced at several governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, the Governor's Mansion of the Chinese Army has always been in charge of the British Duke Zhang Mao, it can be said that the Governors of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, except for Zhang Mao and a few people, are still a little capable, the others are not Chu Yi who looks down on them, and they are all corpses and vegetarians.
