Daming.

Orthodoxy at the beginning of the fifteenth year.

The Son of Heaven returned to Beijing, and the king of the prison led hundreds of civil and military officials to pay respects.

The Son of Heaven announced that the Mongols were exterminated, the people shouted, and the ministers wept joyfully.

"Brother Huang, you're back, and your brother can finally unload the burden!"

King Yu took a few steps forward, and his eyes were red.

"The emperor's younger brother is in charge of the capital and is in charge of the overall situation, and I am very relieved!"

Gu Cheng bowed his head, neither close nor alienated, looked at the ministers, raised his hand and said, "No courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

The ministers bowed and bowed, and stood up one after another.

"This person really doesn't look like an imperial brother, could it be Xu Youzhen's words......"

King Yu watched Gu Chenglong walk and sit down on the dragon chair, his demeanor was supreme and majestic.

The vast and condensed temperament that dominates all directions is far inferior to Zhu Zhanji of Ming Xuanzong who has been on the expedition with Zhu Di since he was a child, and he is even more like the incompetent emperor who was manipulated by eunuchs since he was a child.

The head of the servant king was lowered, and his eyes shone with a glint of essence.

He didn't believe what Xu Youzhen said, can the emperor pretend to be casually?

Not to mention what kind of thieves and thieves in the rivers and lakes, looking for someone to disguise themselves and pretend, in a vain attempt to cause chaos in the court, it is simply a fantasy.

But deep down, he had a glimmer of hope.

If the returned Son of Heaven was fake, and he really died in the chaos of Tumu Fort, then he would have another chance to sit on the throne.

However, at the next moment, Gu Cheng looked down on the ministers: "I patrol and hunt outside the fortress, thanks to Zhu Aiqing's assistance to the emperor's brother in governing the country, I am very relieved!"

The same heart was very comforting, but it made the ministers change color together.

Because of the four words in the mouth of the Son of Heaven - patrol outside the plug.

Lost in battle, missing, and patrolling outside the fortress, are two different concepts.

The former is the sins of the emperor, and it should be recorded in history, and in such a country in danger, the ministers are in charge of their own affairs, and they are for the country and the people.

But the latter is very different, the Son of Heaven is in danger, going north to patrol and hunt, but the ministers have their own calculations, do not obey the holy decree, do not rescue, plus welcome the king of Yu to the throne, isn't it a chaotic minister and thief?

But they couldn't argue with it, because the Son of Heaven did destroy Mongolia.

Crash!

At this moment, Baiguan knelt down again, his face frightened.

"The ministers are guilty!"

The king was stunned, and knelt down slightly stiffly, with a sense of awe and even greater doubt in his heart.

Is this his royal brother?

Yes, this is the son of heaven of the Ming Dynasty!

Gu Cheng looked at each courtier quietly, and after a period of oppressive silence, he slowly spoke: "Dongying is a small country, and you dare to violate the prestige of my dynasty, the British Duke, can there be a way to destroy the enemy?"

The British Duke Zhang Fu got up tremblingly, he hadn't seen him for a few months, his hair was gray, his shape was skeletal, and he tried to raise his voice: "Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that Dongying has poor resources, low national strength, and many hungry people.

Gu Cheng looked at Zhang Fu: "Guogong take care of your body, I also hope that you will show the majestic and grand calculation of the three ploughs in the past." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhang Fu's face was flushed with excitement, his spirit was really better, and he straightened his waist slightly.

He was taken back to Beijing, and soon fell ill, until he heard that the Son of Heaven had returned to Beijing, and he stiffened his body and came to the court.

Not only him, but also the civil and military who survived the Tumubao Incident had similar experiences, especially the military generals' exploits, although they survived, they were squeezed out by the civilian group and lost power.

"What do you think?"

"Pingxiang Uncle Chen Huai, you once received the position of Pingwei, do you have any opinions?"

Now the other courtiers are all kneeling, and the civil and military officials who survived the change of Tumubao have to be named by the world and reply together.

The signal emitted by this is already extremely obvious.

There is no doubt that the returning Son of Heaven will be reused by the courtiers who followed him in his conquest of Warat.

It's also interesting to say, in fact, if it weren't for Yingzong's blind command, the Tumubao change would not have happened at all, but Gu Cheng first preserved his vitality and then destroyed Mongolia, in the eyes of civil and military, His Majesty was far-sighted, and even the defeat was to show the enemy to be weak, in order to completely cut down the grass and eradicate the roots......

In fact, if you think about it too much, defeat is defeat, and if you change it to Gu Cheng's command, there are too many ways to destroy Mongolia in the sunset, where do you need to bury the elite of the Ming Dynasty?

But in any case, these civil and military feats are dead set on the Son of Heaven.

After the civil and military questions of the change of the civil and military forts, Gu Cheng's eyes turned and fell on one person: "Xu Youzhen?"

Xu Youzhen's pupils shrank, and he didn't dare to get up, so he replied directly: "Your ......"

As soon as he opened his mouth to say a word, Gu Cheng said coldly: "The astrological signs, the calendar, the destiny of heaven has gone, but moving south can alleviate the difficulties, but you said this?"

Xu Youzhen's body was shocked: "...... minister"

"Under the pretense of celestial phenomena, the devil confuses the public, disturbs the morale of the army, and violates the ancestral system. ”

Gu Cheng didn't give him a chance to speak at all, looked at King Yu, and said lightly: "What kind of crime does the imperial brother think this is?"

"Brother Huang, Xu Youzhen ......"

King Yu's face changed drastically, he looked up at Gu Cheng, met the unfathomable gaze, and finally changed his words: "According to the law, you should be killed!"

As soon as these words came out, many courtiers couldn't hold back and changed their faces.

Because everyone knows that among the officials who supported King Yu's accession to the throne, Xu Youzhen was the hardest-working.

Now the new imperial party has been abandoned by the first one as an outcast.

"Your Highness?"

Xu Youzhen also looked at King Yu in disbelief.

Last night, the two also conspired to expose the identity of the puppet emperor, how to immediately ascend the throne, take power, destroy the gangsters who support the puppet emperor, and then poison the 70,000 Tianxia Hui disciples stationed outside the city......

Overnight, it became a law?

King Yu didn't dare to look at Xu Youzhen, his hands trembled slightly, but there was no regret in his eyes.

If you want to achieve great things, your relatives can also be killed, not to mention the courtiers!

In the eyes of King Yu, Xu Youzhen's plan for him was just for Conglong, who would be a very human minister in the future, and now he was caught by the Son of Heaven, who is to blame?

Now that the Son of Heaven is named, if there is a wrong answer in one word, and we will settle it together, there will be no chance.

"What the emperor's brother said is very heartfelt!"

Gu Cheng waved his hand, and when Xu Youzhen was dragged down, he looked at the next one again: "Du Du Tongzhi Shi Heng, you and Xining Marquis Song Ying, Wu Jinbo Zhu Mian fought Yanghe, Song Zhu Er General was killed, you escaped on a single horse, demoted officials and recruited troops, this was a meritorious atonement, but in the tent of the king of Wara, the correspondence between you and Yexian was found, what is the explanation?"

Shi Heng shouted: "Your Majesty! This is a thief who framed him, and the minister is loyal to the Ming Dynasty, how can he collude with the barbarians?"

"I also believe you, in order to repay your innocence, I will temporarily resign, enter the Jinyi Guard's edict prison, and be investigated!"

dragged down another one, and Gu Cheng continued to name him: "Like gave Li Shi ...... in the matter"

When the clear voice of the Son of Heaven echoed in the main hall, the ministers trembled, for fear of hearing their names.

Although it is said that the companion is like a tiger, this reckoning came too quickly.

The key is that the candidates for the Son of Heaven are very strange, not all of them support King Yu's accession to the throne, and all of them have grandiose reasons, either killing or degrading, so that people can't find fault.

After the preliminary cleaning was completed, Gu Cheng ordered the ministers to get up and said loudly: "Command the righteous to dominate the court!"

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

When Xiongba wore a strong suit and walked up to the main hall with his head held high to bow down, the ministers were stunned, and one of them let out a resentful roar from the bottom of his heart: "No wonder the puppet emperor killed and degraded, all the courtiers that my lord spent his hard work to win over! Xiongba, you must not die well!"
