After hearing the apocalypse, he was silent for a long time.

Han Yi took the initiative to say: "Your Majesty, from the perspective of the old minister, this ancestor is tempting and threatening the court in the name of intercession for Li Ruzhen. If the imperial court really executed Li Ruzhen, they would also believe that the imperial court could no longer tolerate them as a military town in Liaodi, and might raise an army to rebel on their own, or they might directly defect to Jiannu. ”

Tianqi looked at Zhang Gui, who was also here, and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Zhang Gui replied: "Your Majesty, what is the difference between the current Liaoxi Jiangmen and self-establishment as a king or defection to Jiannu?" The imperial court took millions of salaries to support them every year, but they did not listen to the dispatch of the imperial court, and secretly delivered iron and grain to Jiannu. If it is really as Yuanfu said, Zu Dashou is threatening the imperial court, then in fact, he has already done it before threatening the imperial court! ”

"Therefore, there is no need for the imperial court to care about him as a threat at all. As for the temptation of the court to do this. Obviously, these military towns that have turned away from the imperial court, does the imperial court still need appeasement? If the appeasement continues, it will only make the affairs of the court worse and worse! It will even increase the burden on the people in the interior because the cost of appeasement of these people is getting higher and higher. ”

"To tell the truth, the people of the world have been suffering for a long time! If the Liao salary paid by the people over the years can destroy the Jiannu, it will also lead to more and more thieves, and now the court might as well take a step to rip off this rotten meat, so as not to rot the whole body of the Ming Dynasty. ”

"In addition, as far as the Liao people are concerned, because the Liaoxi generals are very heavy in oppressing and exploiting the people, a large number of displaced people are not increased by war, but because the Liao landlords are too oppressed, and these people are not convenient to enter the customs, because these Liao generals will not let them enter the customs easily. Therefore, many displaced people will only go to Jiannu, so as to grow the strength of Jiannu. Therefore, it can be said that the existence of Liaodi Jiangmen for a day will also make the population of Jiannu grow for a day! ”

After hearing this, Apocalypse nodded.

But at this time, Wei Zhongxian came over and said: "Your Majesty, Huo Weihua, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Pan Shiliang of Dali Temple, and others are waiting to see Your Majesty outside. ”

Zhang Gui therefore said: "Presumably it is also for Li Ruzhen!" This Li Ruzhen's prestige in the DPRK is really high, and even his popularity among Wenchen is so good! ”

As soon as Zhang Gui's words came out, a cold light couldn't help flashing in Tianqi's eyes.

"Humph!"

After pondering for a moment, the apocalypse said, "Xuan! ”

"Yes!"

After a while, Huo Weihua, Pan Shiliang and other ministers came to the front of the palace.

Tianqi turned around and asked these ministers: "Why did you come here when you wait for Fu Que to see?" What's the matter, can't you go straight to the book?! ”

"Your Majesty! This matter can't be put on the book, after all, the ministers didn't intend to break the national law for a traitor, but only for the sake of the Zongmiao Society, and came to ask Your Majesty to treat Li Ruzhen and his people cautiously! ”

Huo Weihua said a word, and said: "And the ministers and others have heard that there are border generals who have pleaded for Li Ruzhen, and please ask the court not to execute Li Ruzhen!" Now it seems that if the imperial court really wants to execute Li Ruzhen, it may lead to the aggravation of border troubles! ”

Pan Shiliang also followed: "Your Majesty, you should be patient in everything, and as a monarch, you must not act arbitrarily." Even if he Li Ruzhen deserves to die, he can only let Li Ruzhen commit suicide, not be executed by the imperial court, and sentenced to the crime of rebellion! ”

After hearing this, Tianqi smiled and said, "I know, you go down first." ”

"Your Majesty!"

Huo Weihua shouted again at this time.

Seeing this, Tianqi lowered his face and asked, "Why do you have to agree to you now before you are willing to leave?!" ”

"Don't dare!"

Huo Weihua hurriedly replied, and then left here in disgrace.

And after these ministers left, Tianqicai looked at Zhang Gui this time and said, "This Liaodong Li clan really has a not simple foundation. ”

Zhang Gui asked directly: "What does Your Majesty mean is that you really want to execute him Li Ruzhen, or even deal with him for treason?" ”

After Zhang Gui asked, he thought to himself: "Isn't this Guogong Mansion threatened in vain?" You must know that this Li Ruzhen planned to destroy his own clan at the beginning, how could he let such a force exist! Now that they have torn their faces apart, they can only keep dying! ”

Apocalypse said: "You can say what you think again." ”

Zhang Gui thought about it and simply took out a stack of letters in his sleeve: "Your Majesty's meaning, the minister understands." It is nothing more than worrying that the foundation of the Li clan in Liaodong is really too big, and rashly disposing of it will really damage the foundation of the imperial court. But Your Majesty, you can look at these letters, and you will know that the foundation of the imperial court is not at all these powerful gentry who collude with interests, but them! ”

When Tianqi took the letter, he suddenly saw that the first letter was the suicide note left by Cui Zhijun.

"The slave Cui Zhijun kowtowed to the emperor under the Jiuquan, and on the orders of the uncle of the country, he wrote a suicide note to the emperor, and the emperor forgave the sin, the slave and maid were originally Li's private, and they had always had dealings with the Li family, and they committed the taboo of the eunuch and the foreign minister! However, the slave and maid later learned that the emperor was a good emperor, because of the emperor, the slave's parents and younger brothers survived, and now they have a share of the land, and even better, the emperor also admitted that the slave's parents and younger brothers own these fields that were shared by Xilin Academy! ”

"The slave also knows that the emperor is doing this for the sake of the Ming Dynasty. But now, there are still people who want to take away all this, the great cause of the bad emperor, and there is Li Sanye in it! ”

"The slave and maid can't abandon the emperor's kindness and righteousness because they have inherited his personal feelings, so the slave and maid are willing to die for the emperor! I only hope that the emperor can achieve great things as soon as possible, and it would be good if he was exempted from Liao pay one day, because the slave and maid had to sell the slave and maid because of the levy on Liao and the family could not pay the money. ”

Then, Apocalypse looked at the second one.

"Feng Boyan, the instructor of the Chenshenshu Battalion, was ordered to join the death squad today, carry the coffin and bomb Haizhou City, and leave a suicide note as usual. I heard that the reason why Haizhou was difficult to fight was because of the enemy of Liaodong Zu Dashou, and the enemy of Haizhou was replenished with food. Therefore, today's suicide note of the minister is not what he wishes in his life, the horse leather shroud is the best destination for the soldiers, only impeaching the Liaodi generals such as the ancestor of the family and the ancestors of the country and betraying the country, so that the ministers and others gave their lives in vain, and also made everyone only think that His Majesty has the benevolence of a woman, indecisive, and would rather damage his own soldiers than cut off the thieves who are lying on the couch and raising the cowards! If this continues, the Guards will be alienated from Your Majesty, please destroy this enemy as soon as possible! ”

"Since Your Majesty set up a military academy in Xishan, so that the ministers and scholars can go out for the country, the ministers have hoped that the Ming Dynasty can repeat the glorious day of the Han and Tang Dynasties as soon as possible, but now, the land is uneven, and the ministers are afraid that Your Majesty's great cause will not be successful!"

……

After the end of the apocalypse, Zhang Gui said: "Your Majesty, Cui Zhijun and Feng Boyan are all people who died when Li Ruzhen launched a coup d'état, among which Cui Zhijun was killed by Li Ruzhen because he revealed Li Ruzhen's whereabouts, and Feng Boyan survived the bloody battle in Haizhou and was promoted to the Shenshu Battalion as the general guard officer academy, and was later killed by Li Ruzhen's old party in the Guards, which can be regarded as dying for the imperial court. ”

As he spoke, Zhang Gui said: "The minister has long wanted to give the testament that these people once left to His Majesty, and let His Majesty know what is the foundation of the imperial court?" And who are the people who really have their hearts set on the court, and are even willing to give their lives for the court? And what they want to see! ”

"I can't bear them!"

Apocalypse sighed, said a word, and then tears rained down.

Suddenly, Apocalypse looked serious again, and shouted: "Spread the decree!" Immediately sentenced Li Ruzhen to death! His protégés and the people of the Nine Clans were all put to death! And then there are those who dissuade, and those who are complicit in it, are all condemned! ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhang Gui gave up his hand and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

And Tianqi continued to look at these suicide notes again, and at this time, through the words of these suicide notes, he seemed to have discovered more profoundly that there would be so many people who were paying for his Daming, sacrificing themselves for him, and they were even stronger than his earnest hope for Daming.
