Chapter 80: The Death of Sun Jizong

Yufu.

Yu Qian quietly listened to the noise outside the wall, and in the past half an hour, he didn't know how many footsteps had come and gone.

In fact, as early as noon today, Yu Qian sensed that something was wrong.

But until now, he has not chosen to intervene.

Because Yu Qian didn't know what reason he wanted to intervene, this time the emperor made the first move, dealing with neither the cabinet nor the civil officials, but the harem.

No matter which of them wins, the final emperor of the Ming Dynasty will still be the Zhu family.

Da Ming, or that Da Ming.

Yu Qian's heart struggled, but he still chose to be indifferent.

Emperor Jingtai's goal this time was very clear, and he did not harm the innocent, only the slogan of the Sun family, and there were already officers and soldiers shouting at the door for half a night.

So until now, I haven't seen a single civilian official come forward.

The matter of swords and soldiers is not something that they can stop as dancers and writers, not to mention that it is not them that Emperor Jingtai wants to deal with this time.

Even Yang Shan, the hardcore queen mother's left attendant of the Party Rites Department, did not make any movement.

In the face of Zhu Di's thunderous coup d'état, Sun Jizong still has no ability to resist, what can he do as a civil servant?

What's more, an hour before the move, the generals loyal to the emperor had already led people to occupy the armory and forage yard in the capital.

The nine gates of the capital division are all occupied by the emperor's people at this moment.

Liu Ju, Fan Guang, Chen Mao, Wang Quan......

These people were extremely loyal to the emperor, and they did not hesitate to launch a coup d'état to help Emperor Jingtai seize power, gambling their own lives and the net worth of the nine clans.

The current situation can be described in one sentence, who will kill whom.

But anyone who dares to come out and stop it, no matter what your official rank is, no matter how much prestige you have in Shilin, it is directly a knife, and the so-called reputation is worthless in front of these generals who lick blood with their knives.

The people inside can't get out, the people outside can't get in, and in a few hours, everything will be settled.

Therefore, many people would rather sleep at home, as if they didn't know it at all, and wait until tomorrow when they go to court, and then pretend to know that they just knew, and reluctantly accept it.

Yu Qian sighed: "The general trend has been decided. ”

Subsequently, Yu Qian ordered someone to take pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and began to write.

He wrote two well-written notes, one was to support the crown prince Zhu Jianshen to ascend the throne and succeed to the throne, and the other was to ask Zhu Qiyu's biological mother, Empress Dowager Wu, to move to Renshou Palace.

If Emperor Jingtai wins this time, Yu Qian will choose the second part of the above table to appease the ministers and help Emperor Jingtai win the hearts of the people after the coup.

Because at that time, it was impossible for Sun Ruowei to continue to live in Renshou Palace no matter what.

If Sun Ruowei and the Sun family behind her win this time, Yu Qian will be the first to make a statement, and quickly set the position to stabilize people's hearts.

Yu Qian didn't think this was opportunistic, he was loyal to neither Emperor Jingtai nor Sun Ruowei, the queen mother, but Daming.

As long as Daming is safe and sound, Yu Qian will choose to stand still.

In terms of peeking at the holy will and flattery, Yu Qian is not as good as Shi Heng, who was born in a martial arts.

......

Outside the Chengtian Gate.

Sun Jizong looked at Shi Heng and was shocked.

"Shi Heng, I was looking for you."

"As the chief military officer of Beijing, do you want to turn a blind eye to the fact that Liu Ju, Fan Guang and others killed the generals and seized the city gate?"

Since Shi Heng has stood up, he has already heard the good news.

After his observation for half a night, he found that although the Sun family seemed to be powerful, the people were scattered, and they were not as cohesive as the Jingtai Party, which was small in number and fine.

Liu Ju, Fan Guang, Chen Mao, Wang Quan and others, with their respective subordinates and families, first purposefully seized the major important places in the capital and the imperial city.

Then at night, he suddenly attacked and killed the guards of the Nine Gates and closed the entire capital.

And most of the people who joined were the new nobles who were awarded the title in the first year of Jingtai last time, and these nobles already had subordinates who served in Jiumen, and it was as easy as drinking water to launch a mutiny.

The funniest thing is that even Wang Ji, a controversial veteran who was almost liquidated last year for flattering Wang Zhen, is over 60 years old, and tonight not only personally put on his armor and got on the horse, but also took his son and grandson with him, and rushed to the front line of seizing the Nine Gates.

By that time, things will be clear.

Sun's unpopularity, but the madness before death, this is a good time to stand in line and compete for merit, Shi Heng immediately decided to do it.

After all, given the rapid development of events, if you don't do anything, you are afraid that you will not even be able to drink the soup.

Now in the face of Sun Jizong's threatening and intimidating remarks, Shi Heng naturally will not have any hesitation, in his opinion, this is just a good opportunity to show loyalty in public.

So he said: "Liu Ju and Fan Guang are my subordinates, how can I not know that they are doing it?" ”

"Your Sun family has done a lot of evil, I was faster than the eradication, and I can't live for my own evil, and now Your Majesty is Shengming, and I have issued an order to get rid of the thief, how can I not obey it?"

The remarks were high-sounding, and Sun Jizong laughed when he heard it.

He was already crazy, and in the face of Shi Heng, Wang Quan and others, Sun Jizong's heart was greatly reduced by these improvised patchwork of people.

They may not know Wang Quan, but Shi Heng, the military general who was the first in the defense of Beijing, they are afraid.

Shi Heng suddenly shouted again: "Put down your weapons, kill the violators!" ”

"Your Majesty's holy decree to eliminate the thief, the Sun family should be punished, the thief will be liquidated afterwards, the whole family will be guilty, immediately put down the weapon, and you can avoid death!"

These were originally people who were temporarily recruited from the Five Cities Soldiers and Horses Division and the Beizhen Fu Division, and there were not many descendants of the Sun family, Shi Heng threatened him, and the sound of swords and guns falling to the ground was endless.

"Hahahaha!"

"Zhu Qiyu, you are so ruthless!"

"I'll be waiting for you underground!"

Sun Jizong knew that the general trend was gone, looked up to the sky and laughed, and issued a vicious curse.

It's the last thing he can do right now.

Sun Jizong didn't expect that it was so difficult to be in a high position, even if he was so careful, he still inadvertently fell in love with Emperor Jingtai's way.

Not only was he set aside, but he also involved his Sun family, and he would be punished if he offended.

History is written by the victors, and there will be no good words in the history books about his grandson.

Sun Jizong slowly picked up the knife and watched silently.

Seeing his appearance, Wang Quan and Shi Heng immediately became nervous, thinking that they were going to do the final fight, and they both wanted to be the one who killed Sun Jizong and won the first credit.

But unexpectedly, Sun Jizong suddenly swung towards his neck.

The next moment, a rush of blood burst out!

Sun Jizong swung his knife and killed himself, fell to the ground on all fours, and there was a deep blood mark between his neck, and the gurgling blood flowed out and merged into a pool.

In the last moments before he died, his face was full of remorse, helplessness and worry.

This extremely powerful uncle of the dynasty was still showing off his power a few days ago, but he died on the streets overnight, falling from the peak to the bottom, and it only took a short night.

Wang Quan was shocked: "I didn't expect him to have such courage." ”

Shi Heng didn't feel anything, and while walking over, he skillfully cut off Sun Jizong's head, and sighed: "It's a pity, it should have been a great achievement." ”

"It's a pity, it's a pity."
