"Quasi-play!"

"Xuan!"

Apocalypse immediately agreed to Chen Zizhuang's performance.

Li Guopu, Shi Fenglai, Zhang Ruitu, Hu Maowen, Wang Qingye and other civil officials were taken aback.

As if being shocked, the pestle stays in place.

Yang Yuelin and Ye Mingchun, the great Confucians of Donglin, were not martyred?

It didn't take long.

Sakai Tadakatsu, the elder of the Tokugawa shogunate, appeared on the main hall with a group of people and honestly knelt in front of the apocalypse.

Apocalypse looked at these Japanese people and asked, "Can you be convicted of slaughtering the people of the kingdom by waiting for the Japanese slaves to slaughter the people?" ”

In this era, the Ming Dynasty was full of martial virtues, especially in the early years of the Apocalypse, Zhang Gui ordered the West Factory to proclaim power in Edo, so in order to better understand the powerful Ming Empire, Sakai Tadashi had already learned Chinese, so he could understand Zhu Youxiao's words, and replied: "Fanbang Xiaochen is guilty!" His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom of Begging for mercy! ”

Seeing these Japanese people kneeling in front of them so respectfully and wagging their tails and begging for mercy, and being looked down upon by themselves, Tianqi was very useful in his heart, so he continued to ask: "Shicai, my minister said, there are people of this dynasty who colluded with you and fled to the foreign kingdom of you, but is there such a thing?" ”

Sakai Tadakatsu replied: "This is true, but they are not colluding with the shogunate, but only with the Kashima Domain, a small feudal clan under their name. They have been taken out of the palace and handed over to His Majesty's palace guards. ”

After hearing this, Tianqi said, "Bring in!" ”

Not much, Yang Yuelin, Ye Mingchun, and Nabeshima Masao, the lord of the Kashima Domain, were all shackled and shackled, escorted to the front of the palace, and were pressed to their knees.

Yang Chengjun and other Donglin Confucians did not expect that after he escaped from Middle-earth, he would still be escorted back.

Of course, this idea is attributed to the fact that after the establishment of the West Factory, Zhang Gui let the West Factory promote the martial virtues of the Ming Dynasty overseas, which had already forced the foreign real power figures of the Wa Shogunate to grovel in front of the West Factory.

Therefore, it is basically impossible for people who commit crimes in Daming to get away with justice by running out.

"Sinner Yang Chengjun knocks on His Majesty the Emperor, and I hope His Majesty the Emperor will be gracious!"

Yang Chengjun can only obey reality now, and honestly kowtow to the apocalypse and beg for mercy.

Tianqi looked at Li Fan at this time: "Didn't you say that they have been martyred?" ”

"Minister!"

Li Fan was already sweating, and he hurriedly said: "The minister is just a rumor, according to Hu Siye's words, I believe it is true." ”

Hu Maowen stood up at this time and said: "The minister is just a rumor, but now I think about it, Yang Gong and others did not die, but went to the East." However, Your Majesty, the Xilin Rebellion Party did collude with Waiyi to wash the Donglin Academy and attempt to cause trouble in Jiangnan, not the collusion of the Donglin Academy as this Japanese person said! ”

Sakai Tadashi said: "The ministers of Fanbang dare not hide it from His Majesty the Emperor of the Kingdom!" The people who colluded with the Kashima Domain were not the people of the Shangguo Xilin Academy, but the people of the Donglin Academy. Nabeshima Masashige had already presented a letter from the Confucian, Gao Shitai, Gu Qiyuan, and others from the Ministry of Rites to the Ministry of Rites, regarding the bloody bath of the Xilin Academy and the division of the profits of the Ryukyus. ”

Therefore, the apocalypse asked Chen Zizhuang: "Is there such a thing?" ”

Chen Zizhuang took the letter out of his sleeve and held it in both hands: "But there is such a thing!" Yang Chengjun is also the mastermind and can be used as a witness. “

Yang Chengjun also knelt on the ground at this time, and replied truthfully: "It is indeed the mastermind of the people of Donglin such as sinners, originally because they did not want to see Xilin Academy harm the people of Jiangnan, so they had to make this decision!" Your Majesty didn't know that since the emergence of Xilin Academy, the number of people in Jiangnan has increased dramatically, forcing the gentry to reduce rent and waive rent at every turn, and even coercing the government to order all workshops and firms to increase salaries and reduce work! That's why we have to do it. Your Majesty, please be wise! ”

Tianqi had already got the letter at this time, and read it once, and then glared angrily, today in the court, Shi Fenglai, Hu Maowen and other civil officials who spoke for Donglin Academy first: "You dare to reverse black and white!" ”

Shi Fenglai, Hu Maowen and others hurriedly crawled on the ground.

Shi Fenglai said firstly: "Your Majesty! The minister only mistakenly believed the words of Hu Maowen and others, and didn't know that it was Donglin Academy that colluded with Waiyi and intended to wash Xilin Academy in blood! If you want to say that black and white are reversed, it can only be that Hu Maowen and other treacherous villains are reversing black and white and confusing right and wrong, so Hu has made a minister! ”

Shi Fenglai can also push the pot to Hu Maowen.

But Hu Maowen had no one to push, and he was at a loss for a while.

After calming down, Hu Maowen realized that these civil officials from the Jiangnan Shi clan were obviously losing because he thought that Yang Chengjun and others would not return from the East, but he didn't expect that the Wa Shogunate would be so cowardly, and directly took the initiative to escort back the Donglin people who fled to the East, and even handed over his own daimyo lord.

Hu Maowen didn't realize before this that the real opponent of these people, Uncle Zhang Guo, had actually been dealing with them in a larger pattern, instead of fighting them only in the circle of the Ming Empire, Xichang had already put pressure on the shogunate through his strong force overseas, and the smart shogunate could not oppose Xichang, so he had to directly lock up the lord of the Kashima domain and Yang Chengjun and others, and hand them over to the Ming Dynasty for disposal.

And now, Hu Maowen reluctantly woke up, knowing that since he and his people could collude with Waiyi to deal with Xilin Academy, and the Xichang behind Xilin Academy, why couldn't they coerce Waiyi to deal with the Donglin Party and the Jiangnan Shi clan whose interests were aligned with the Donglin Party.

"The minister has nothing to say!"

Therefore, Hu Maowen said at this time, and said: "But Your Majesty, Xichang is domineering overseas, bullying foreign countries, and even interfering in the politics of other countries, which is really detrimental to the national body of this dynasty!" It will also attract the resentment of the Gentiles! Isn't Your Majesty worried that if this goes on for a long time, if when the strength of my Ming Dynasty declines, other countries will retaliate and wantonly invade my Ming Dynasty?! ”

Hu Maowen knew that his people were certain to die if they reversed black and white, so he didn't bother to beg for mercy, and only shifted the topic of court discussion to the foreign policy of the Ming Dynasty.

Apocalypse stood up at this time and said with a calm face: "Since you have nothing to say, then don't say it." Now the truth is out. Those who complain for Donglin Academy are all confusing right and wrong, and bullying the king! ”

Then, Tianqi said: "Obviously, it was Donglin Academy that colluded with Waiyi, disregarded the laws of the Emperor Gang, and attempted to bloodied Xilin Academy first, but it was said that it was Xilin Academy that colluded with Waiyi and bloodied Donglin Academy. He also said unashamedly that Xilin Academy was instigating the people and bandits to cause trouble in Jiangnan. ”

As he spoke, the Apocalypse asked, "How do you make me believe you!" “

"Your Majesty! The minister really just misbelieved the words of Hu Maowen and others! Instead of really trying to deceive the king! ”

Shi Fenglai cried at this time, he now regretted that he shouldn't have been the first to stand up.

Zhang Ruitu also regretted that he shouldn't have stood up in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty! The minister was only dumbfounded for a while, and mistakenly believed Hu Maowen and other false words, and he didn't intend to deceive the king! May Your Majesty be gracious! ”

Tianqi snorted at this time, and then asked Li Fan, "What's the matter with the blood book you presented?" ”

Li Fan, who offered Yang Chengjun's blood book and said that he wrote before his martyrdom, had collapsed to the ground because of Yang Chengjun's real appearance, and at this time he had to crawl on the ground and truthfully replied: "It was forged by the minister!" ”

As he spoke, Li Fan cried and said, "Your Majesty spares your life!" The minister will not dare anymore! ”

Chen Zizhuang took this opportunity and immediately said again: "Your Majesty! Now the truth has been revealed, it is Donglin Academy who betrayed the country first, and murdered the people of his own country later! The so-called opposition to the party and the people in their mouths are nothing more than good people who have been cornered by them. As for the so-called liquidation, it is just a matter of the West Factory doing it for the sake of hoeing and raping. It's not that there is no purpose to follow, there is no purpose to follow! However, these traitorous party and rebel ministers in the DPRK and China brazenly gave these good people who took the initiative to resist the traitors and traitors a name for the chaotic party, and their hearts should be punished! Because they are simply deceiving the king! The intention is to disrupt the country and mislead my Daming Society, and want to make His Majesty a lawless and unscrupulous monarch who kills innocents indiscriminately! ”

"What Chen Qing said is very true!"

Tianqi nodded after hearing this, and then ordered in a cold voice: "In the court, the crime of reversing black and white and colluding with outsiders in Donglin Academy will be blamed on the head of Xilin Academy, and all the people who bully the monarch will be dragged out and cut down!" ”
