Chapter 240: Strict Interrogation, Great Punishment Waiting!
Xie Sheng, Zuo Yuqing and other ministers looked at Ye Chengxue with incredulous expressions.
Didn't you Ye Chengxue already promise to support us and invite the prince to come out of the pavilion to study?
Why do you take us this day according to the will of this tyrant?
Tianqi also glanced at Ye Chengxue in surprise.
Now he doesn't quite understand which end of Ye Chengxue is.
Apocalypse only nodded: "What I just said is naturally true!" ”
"The minister obeys!"
After Ye Chengxue spoke, he pulled out his sword, pointed at Xie Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and other ministers, and shouted to the guards outside the palace: "Take them down!" ”
As a result, the guards detained Xie Sheng and the others.
After Xie Sheng was detained, he came back to his senses and scolded Ye Chengxue: "The surname Ye, how can you suddenly turn back!" By doing this, you are harming loyalty! ”
Zuo Yuqing also scolded: "Ye Chengxue! How dare you toy us! Why are you so despicable and shameless! ”
Xie Sheng had already shouted towards the apocalypse at this time: "Your Majesty, the ministers are also loyal to you because they suggested that the prince go out of the pavilion to study!" Your Majesty, please be wise! ”
Zuo Yuqing didn't have time to scold Ye Chengxue anymore, and shouted to the apocalypse: "Your Majesty forgives your sins!" The ministers are just for the sake of the temple and the society, and they don't really want to bully the king and rebel, ask Your Majesty for mercy! ”
The reason why the apocalypse suddenly dared to do this was because they had already brought Ye Chengxue, who was in charge of the Praetorian Guard, and then there were more than 100,000 Tartars outside to threaten Yuan Chonghuan and Guan Ningbing behind him and more than 100,000 Tartars outside, so that these courtiers dared to force themselves.
But on the contrary, Ye Chengxue suddenly had no intention of following the side of these courtiers at this time, and absolutely obeyed the will of his own emperor.
Therefore, Tianqi suddenly had a lot of confidence, and said to Xie Sheng and the others: "If you just ask the prince to go out of the pavilion to study, I may only think that you are thinking about the temple and society, and not blame you." But you shouldn't have threatened me after I had already refused, and directly said that Ye Aiqing was already your person to threaten me! Do you think I'll believe you at this point? ”
As he spoke, the apocalypse shouted, "Drag it down!" Strict interrogation, heavy punishment waiting! When Yuan Chonghuan's people arrived, in front of him, they all beheaded these people! ”
"Yes!"
Xie Sheng was even more desperate after hearing this, and couldn't help but yell Ye Chengxue again: "The surname Ye, I will your ancestors!" Why do you want to harm us like this, his Uncle Zhang Guo has already been killed, why are you still so loyal, what are you afraid of! ”
At this time, the apocalypse replied angrily for Ye Chengxue: "Xie Sheng! You have to talk nonsense! Is there something wrong with loyalty?! ”
Xie Sheng: "......"
Zuo Yuqing also shouted: "Your Majesty! Loyalty is true, but he has agreed to ask His Majesty to let the prince out of the pavilion to study, but now that he has reversed himself, doesn't Your Majesty think that he is a treacherous villain? ! ”
At this time, Ye Chengxue defended: "Your Majesty! The minister agreed to join them in persuading you to let the prince go out of the cabinet to study, but the minister didn't say anything, and agreed to ask His Majesty to let someone teach the prince to read, nor did he say that if His Majesty didn't agree to let the prince go out of the cabinet to study, what should the minister do. The minister knows that the king's order is as big as the sky, even if the minister has different opinions, the minister must strictly implement the king's order! ”
After hearing this, Tianqi nodded and said, "You are not wrong! I don't blame you! You are a discerning person. ”
Saying that, Tianqi looked at Xie Sheng and the others: "On the contrary, it's them, which one is not full of poetry and books, and which one is not familiar with scriptures, but they have never taken me, the son of heaven, into account, and have always wanted to control me!" Since they want to control me so much, why do they have to say that a country cannot be without a king, it is better to simply let the Ming Dynasty have no emperor! ”
"Your Majesty is angry!"
Ye Chengxue hurriedly said.
Apocalypse naturally said nothing more than angry words.
After all, in this era, no one thinks that a country can do without an emperor.
Xie Sheng was also being dragged down at this time, and continued to shout: "Your Majesty, since ancient times, the Son of Heaven should not be too smart, if you rule by hanging the arch, why should the ministers be like this, why should they be like this!" ”
Tianqi ignored Xie Sheng's shouting, and only asked Wei Zhongxian: "Uncle Guo, was you really killed in Qingjiangpu?" ”
Wei Zhongxian replied: "Dongchang has not received any definite news. ”
After hearing this, Tianqi said: "Your Dongchang has a mole!" Otherwise, you can't get the news. ”
Wei Zhongxian was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "It's all slaves and maids who are incompetent!" ”
Tianqi said to Ye Chengxue: "You go to investigate this matter, find out and hand it over to Wei Zhongxian to deal with by himself." ”
"Yes!"
Ye Chengxue responded.
Apocalypse couldn't help but murmur, "My brother-in-law is gone, what should I do now?" Many things, many people, only he understands how to do it and how to use it. ”
Ye Chengxue opened his mouth to speak, but he still endured it.
Wei Zhongxian felt a little chill in his back, thinking that if Uncle Guo really had something to do this time, he was afraid that he would not be able to escape being blamed by the emperor.
And Tianqi quickly suppressed his frustration, and instructed: "Reply to Yuan Chonghuan's recital and tell him that the prince's study out of the pavilion is not something he should worry about." What should be worried about is why he, a governor of Liaodong, saw so many Tartars entering the customs, and even Jiannu! What does he, the governor of Liaodong, eat, for, even if Jiannu spared the Mongols, doesn't he have eyeliner among the Mongols?! In addition, let him explain why he appeared at the pass shortly after King Qin's edict was issued. ”
"Yes!"
It didn't take long for Yuan Chonghuan to receive a reply from the apocalypse.
Peng!
Yuan Chonghuan slapped the transcript of the reply on the eucalyptus, with a calm face, and was silent for a long time.
Zu Dashou asked on the side: "Zhongcheng, what did the court say?" ”
Yuan Chonghuan said: "Today's son is really too smart to despise! The reply is like a knife! Now I just don't know if he's hard-mouthed. Ye Chengxue and Dazong Bo Xie Shangshu should also start to advise on this matter. ”
After hearing this, Zu Dashou said: "Anyway, in the name of King Qin, go down to the walled city on the outskirts of Beijing, and threaten him Zhu Youxiao, as long as he doesn't hand over the prince to the Confucian ministers, we won't go out of the walled city to meet the enemy!" ”
Zu Dashou, the Liao generals who had made their roots firmly rooted by the rise of Nurhachi, no longer took the great tomorrow seriously in private, so they dared to call the apocalypse in private.
Yuan Chonghuan nodded: "You send someone to inform Yu Jiannu's side, so that they and the Mongols don't go too fast!" Let's arrive at Jingshi first, and then everyone will cooperate with the singing to show the Son of Heaven. ”
"Good!"
Zu Dashou agreed.
Not long after, tens of thousands of Guan Ning soldiers led by Yuan Chonghuan went to the capital Desheng Gate to set up camp, and also sent people to contact the imperial court, and once again put on a playbook asking the apocalypse to let the crown prince out of the pavilion to study.
As a governor of Liaodong, it seems funny to pay attention to the fact that the prince is out of the cabinet and does not leave the cabinet, but in fact, it is an important purpose for Yuan Chonghuan and others to stop the new policy of the Ming Dynasty.
"I Have a Catalogue of Ghosts and Gods"
But before his second recital arrived in front of the emperor, the first section of the guard battalion of the city guards took the initiative to go out of the city under the leadership of Ye Chengxue.
And Yuan Chonghuan was very happy when he first learned that Ye Chengxue led the guards out, so he walked over directly and asked Ye Chengxue: "How is it, have they succeeded in admonishing Gong Xie, and do they need Guanning soldiers to admonish?" ”
Ye Chengxue glanced at him, directly pulled out his knife, and pointed at Yuan Chonghuan: "Yuan Zhongcheng, if you say such things again, this official will treat you as a thief!" ”
Yuan Chonghuan was shocked, looked at Ye Chengxue, and said in his heart: "What's going on, aren't you all conspiring together to force His Majesty the Emperor to agree to the prince's study in the pavilion?" ”
