The Nine Princes still looked arrogant, standing at the bottom and looking at the emperor proudly. This kind of look made the emperor very uncomfortable, and for a moment he had an urge to cut people with a knife, and he tried hard to suppress his anger and bravely meet these challenging eyes.

The emperor spoke slowly, he almost gritted his teeth, and said word by word: "Who is down there?" Why don't you kneel when you see me? ”

The Ninth Prince sneered and didn't answer, but just snorted coldly in his nose. At this time, Wu Sangui stepped forward, stepped on the leg of the Nine Princes, and trampled him to the ground, the Nine Princes struggled to get up, turned around and saw that it was Wu Sangui, and couldn't help shouting: "It turned out that you are a beast, you are really an immature wild dog, you should have ended your dog life a long time ago, and I only hated me for being too soft-hearted." Wu Sangui didn't pay attention to him, just stomped him tightly on the ground.

The emperor said angrily: "I have always valued you and entrusted you with all major matters, but you didn't think about rewarding me, forced me out of the capital, and encircled and suppressed along the way. ”

The Nine Princes laughed: "Explanation? You deserve to hear what I explain to you? What kind of thing are you, what have you done to satisfy everyone since you got lucky enough to win the throne? What else would you do but frolic in the deep palace with the woman you love? How much do you know about the sufferings of the people in the world? How much have you been in charge of affairs inside and outside the court? Do you still have the face to do this position? ”

The emperor was furious and said: "I wanted to let you live for the sake of you being my imperial brother, but you dare to slander me like this, it is really unbearable, if I spare you, heaven will not tolerate it." The emperor trembled with anger, and shouted loudly: "Pull it down, pull it down and cut it down." ”

Wu Sangui stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty, the emperor should eradicate all his comrades and those who participated in this rebellion to prevent future troubles." The sin of the Nine Princes is enough to punish his whole family, please think twice. ”

Everyone saw that Wu Sangui was so insidious and vicious, and they gritted their teeth with hatred in their hearts. At this time, several people stood up and pleaded. Liu Tinghui, the squire of the military department, said: "Your Majesty, the Nine Princes were confused for a while to do this, thinking that he had made a lot of contributions to the emperor before, for the sake of him being the emperor's half-brother, I begged the emperor to go around his whole family for the sake of his half-brother." ”

The rest of the ministers also knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. The emperor thought that so many people pleaded for mercy, and it was always not good to make a hasty decision, so he asked the ninth prince: "Brother Huang, then you tell me who your accomplice is, and also, those people who participated in this matter, you write me a list." If you write, I can let your whole family go, otherwise, don't blame me. ”

The ninth prince hesitated, he knew that the emperor had made up his mind to die at this time, but the lovely little daughter and the son under the moon, as well as his wife, were all the flesh of his heart. Besides, there are three unfilial pieties, and no queen is the greatest, if there is no son to inherit the lineage, wouldn't it be a big unfilial piety? Then what face do you have to meet the ancestors under the Nine Springs? But the person who rebelled with him, thinking of this, the Nine Princes looked around and found that he was still not there, otherwise, just grit his teeth and say it.

Just as the ninth prince was thinking and hesitating in his mind, a person ran in from outside the hall, and as soon as he came in, he knelt on the mat and shouted: "Long live the emperor, long live long live, the old minister is late, the emperor is frightened, and the old minister deserves death." ”

The emperor said in his heart: You deserve to die because you are late now, but because you haven't moved at all after I have been drifting out for a few months, could it be that you and the Nine Princes are also in the same group? I have to make a mess today.

Prince Jian saw the emperor's expression, thinking that he must be suspicious of him, so he choked up and said: "The old minister was seriously ill in bed for a few months, and he almost couldn't see the emperor, I heard that the emperor was also seriously ill, and the old minister also struggled to enter the palace, but he didn't see the emperor, and the queen said that the emperor was seriously ill and couldn't see anyone." The old minister thinks about the emperor day and night, and today I heard that there are people in the palace who are rebellious, and they are against the sky, and the old minister must protect the emperor's integrity when he opens up this old body, so the old minister entered the palace. Ahem......"

At this time, Liu Tinghui, the squire of the military department, also stepped forward to report: "Your Majesty, the prince is indeed seriously ill and lying down, and I have visited him countless times. ”

The emperor sneered: "Then I am also seriously ill and lying down, why do all Aiqing not visit me in the future?" ”

Everyone below was dumbfounded, not knowing what to do. Prince Jian took over and said: "Your Majesty, you can't doubt everyone's sincerity to you, we can learn ......from the sun and the moon at the emperor's center."

The emperor interrupted him: "Okay, okay, now that I understand everything, it's up to me to see how to punish this traitor." Uncle Huang, in your opinion, how should you punish him? ”

Prince Jian looked around at the ministers in the main hall, looked up and down at the nine princes who were tied up, and said to the emperor: "Your Majesty, Zhu Youquan harbors evil intentions and attempts to rebel, and his heart can be punished!" He knew that the Ninth Prince was going to die this time, so even his honorific title was changed to his name.

An imperceptible hint of murderous intent flashed on the emperor's face, and he asked, "If it is according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how should it be handled?" ”

Prince Jane said without changing his face: "All over the house." ”

As soon as Prince Jian's words came out, all the princes and ministers below were boiling, because the ninth prince Zhu Youquan was a member of the royal family, and he had an inextricable relationship with other princes and ministers. can know that when Zhu Di was the emperor, there was a precedent of punishing the ten clans, and the Nine Princes also used this to disturb the people's hearts at that time.

The Nine Princes glared angrily at Prince Jane, he didn't expect that his alliance would betray him at this time. He fell into the well, wishing that he would die sooner.

The emperor vaguely felt that there was a big problem with this Prince Jane, but there was no evidence, and no one came to testify against him. Moreover, he is also a person with real power, and he also has many protΓ©gΓ©s and former officials in the court, and he also has many friends in the rivers and lakes.

The emperor walked down the hall, stood opposite the Nine Princes, and said, "Tell me quickly, how many of your comrades are there." If you say so, I can also consider letting your family go. ”

The Nine Princes looked at the emperor intently, and then turned to look at the Nine Princes, his heart was very contradictory: one was the emperor who he wanted to kill, but he was never able to kill. Will he really let my family go? If I die, will my family still be able to hold their heads up? The other used to be my staunch ally, but he was too cunning to do anything, but to direct him behind the scenes. Now that everything is over, he kicked me away to save himself. Shall I confess him?

Seeing that the Ninth Prince ignored him for a long time, the emperor said angrily: "I'll give you one last chance, no matter who that person is, no matter how much power he has, as long as you tell me, I will protect your family." ”

At this time, Prince Jian stood up and walked straight to the Nine Princes, and said word by word: "Back to the emperor, when I came just now, the guards guarding the city caught a team of thieves who fled outside the city, because they were unwilling to subdue to the law, and they were still stubbornly resisting there, so they had been corrected on the spot, and the whole family had a total of 72 people, as far as the old minister knew, in addition to the anti-thieves here, there were three people who escaped by luck, but the old minister will take them back in the starry night, please rest assured." ”

The Nine Princes looked at Prince Jane, he understood that the three people he was talking about were his wife and a pair of beloved children, if he said that Prince Jian was complicit with him at this time, he might have killed them in anger, and if he didn't say it, maybe he could save their lives.

Thinking of this, the Nine Princes laughed and said, "Zhu Youzhen, did you hear it?" God won't let me go extinct! This is providence! As long as I have a son, he will definitely avenge me! Vengeance! Zhu Youzhen! Listen to me, one day, you will not die well, hahahaha......"

The emperor gave him a slap with his backhand, and the Nine Princes finally stopped laughing. The emperor grabbed him by the neck and said, "Listen! I am a true son, and no one can be disrespectful to me! I was ordered by heaven, how could you tiger and wolf people be able to overthrow me? I hope that after you go to hell, you can reflect on it, and if you are still a human being in the next life, you must keep your mind clear! ”

The Ninth Prince laughed and said: "Zhu Youzhen, if you kill my whole family, you will not die a good death, one day you will die more pitifully than I am, don't you want to find an accomplice?" Tell you, don't look for it, don't use any accomplices, it's all done by Lao Tzu alone, the so-called hero and loser Kou, seeing that it fell into your hands, I had already made up my mind to die, so you can kill me with confidence and be your nest emperor. Hahaha......"

The emperor's face turned pale with anger, and he shouted: "Pull down, pull this madman down." ”

Everyone pulled the Nine Princes down, and he laughed and scolded loudly as he walked: "Zhu Youzhen, you don't have to die well, you are not even as good as a beast ......"

The emperor looked at the back of the ninth prince being pulled down, and said to Prince Jian: "Uncle Huang, you are really timely, and you have corrected all the thieves." ”

Prince Jian said: "It's all the emperor's blessing, and it's just the duty of the subordinates to destroy the rebellious ministers and thieves." ”

"Really?" The emperor snorted and said, "Then how did you let the three powerless rebels run away?" ”

Prince Jian immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Weichen deserves to die, but the situation was very chaotic at that time. Wechen promised to arrest them back. ”

"That's fine, if you can't catch them, replace your own wife and children!" The emperor said viciously.

Prince Jane reluctantly stepped aside.

The emperor looked at the ministers present and trembled with fright, and when he looked around, he forgot that there was another person who was crushed in that place. He is the biological brother of the Ninth Prince, the Tenth Prince, Zhu Youzhang.

The emperor asked, "What a pair of brothers!" ”

When the tenth prince saw the emperor talking to him, he said, "Your Majesty, I am also your brother, Your Majesty." ”

The emperor snorted coldly and shouted, "You shut up for me!" In your eyes, only Zhu Youquan is your brother, right? ”

"The emperor spares his life, the emperor, I know it's wrong, the emperor." The Ten Princes cried on the spot.

The emperor glanced at him disdainfully and said, "It's okay to spare your life, but you have to list your brother's crimes one by one, can you do it?" ”

When the tenth prince heard that his life could be saved, he hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, I actually don't know anything, it was all Zhu Youquan who instructed me to do it, I really don't know, Your Majesty." ”

"This is the last chance, I ask you to do it or not?" The emperor was obviously impatient, and what he wanted to see most now was their own brothers killing each other.

The Ten Princes said without hesitation: "Okay, I'll write, I'll write!" ”

"Pen and ink waiting."

After a while, a eunuch brought a pen and paper for the royal family and handed it to the ten princes. The Ten Princes thought for a moment and began to write.

Soon he wrote it, and the eunuch just wanted to show it to the emperor. The emperor waved his hand and said, "Since you wrote it, it's up to you to read out Zhu Youquan's crime." ”

The Ten Princes wanted to say something, but immediately swallowed it alive. He read aloud with tears in his eyes: "The sinner Zhu Youquan is guilty of ten crimes, defrauding the king and abusing power, and committing one crime. Citing the traitorous party, sin two. Forming a party to discuss politics is the third crime. Gathering goods to raise adultery, the fourth crime. Clever confession, sin five. Obscene Inner Palace, sin six. Disrespectful to the king of Zhenxi and other old ministers, crime seven. Unauthorized murder of the emperor's confidant minister, crime eight. Lying about the emperor's death is the ninth crime. Attempted usurpation of the throne, sin ten. ”

The emperor sat down on the dragon chair and said, "There are so many crimes! handed over his charges against Zhu Youquan to the Ministry of Rites and announced to the world. ”

The emperor suddenly thought of another thing, and said: "Cut off the princes and Yulu of the ten princes, and you will not be hired for life." ”

"Thank you for your grace!" Cold sweat broke out on the head of the ten princes.

Wu Sangui said at this time: "Your Majesty, now that there are many people in the court involved in this matter, I hope that the emperor can occasionally investigate thoroughly, otherwise there will be another trouble in the future." ”

The emperor said lightly: "This matter will be handled by you and Chu Aiqing." ”

"Yes!" A wicked smile rose at the corner of Wu Sangui's mouth.

The emperor trembled because he was too excited just now, and said in a loud voice: "Retreat from the dynasty, retreat from the dynasty." ”

Wu Sangui immediately helped him back to the harem. At this time, the emperor suddenly remembered and asked in surprise: "What about Yuanyuan?" Where did you get Yuanyuan? ”

Wu Sangui said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Concubine Yi and Miss Fei'er are both in Weichen's Mansion, and Weichen will bring you back." So saying, he sent someone to pick him up. At this time, Chu Tianzhao walked in, and when the emperor saw Chu Tianzhao, he smiled sourly: "Thanks to you and Miss Fei'er these days, otherwise I would have died." I will reward you well, as well as General Wu. ”

Wu Sangui said with a smile: "It is the duty of the ministers to protect the emperor, and what rewards dare to be greedy there, Weichen only hopes that the emperor will be healthy and safe, and will be loved by all the people and supported by the world." ”

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, I will reuse you well in the future, as well as Mrs. Chu." ”

Chu Tianzhao just kowtowed lightly and said, "Thank you Emperor Longen." ”

The development of things was beyond Yang Fei'er's expectations, she didn't expect to bring down the Nine Princes so quickly, she expected that she would definitely have to go through a fight or bloody battle to have a final victory. But it's okay to save time wasting a lot of her brain cells.

The emperor was very happy to see that Fei'er and Yuanyuan were safe and sound, and ordered the imperial kitchen to set up a palace banquet for them to eat and drink.

Yang Fei'er suddenly remembered something and asked the emperor: "Your Majesty, what did you do with the Nine Princes?" ”

The emperor said: "His whole family has been rectified on the spot, and if he is left alone, Ling Chi will be executed." and his mother's younger brother Shi Wangye, I will let him go for the time being. I have just regained the throne, and it is not easy to kill too much, otherwise it will cause instability in people's hearts. But I'm definitely not going to enable these thieves anymore. ”

Yang Fei'er let out an "oh" and asked again: "Then the emperor found out who is the mastermind and who is the accomplice?" ”

The emperor said: "No, the ninth prince would rather die than say it, he is angry, and this matter will be handed over to the Criminal Department to handle." As he spoke, he told him about the things in the court, and Yang Fei'er sighed: "Hey, the Nine Princes won't survive tonight." ”

The emperor exclaimed: "Why? ”

Yang Fei'er shook her head: "I'm afraid I'm no longer alive at this time." ”

In fact, as Yang Fei'er expected, as soon as the Nine Princes were imprisoned in the prison, someone fed him poisonous wine, and now he has been dead for a long time, the emperor sighed and said: "I must find out the mastermind behind the scenes this time, and the people I trust now are Taifu Chu and General Wu, so I want you to help me investigate." ”

The two knelt down at the same time and said: "If you don't give up, please ask the emperor for instructions." ”
