Ning Zexun is not very old, but along the way, his hair has turned white.

The escort journey was so long, Ning Zexun was tormented in a state of fear and regret, he was once the supreme king, but he lost it himself. If he had been quiet, he might have been able to live a smooth life, but he didn't. One cannot be without self-knowledge.

The majestic and prosperous northern capital made him very envious, if... Without ifs, Ning Zexun had long known that as long as someone expelled the Tartars, the final outcome of the Ning Dynasty would be to be replaced, which was what his father told him before his death.

Ning Zexun still had an expectation in his heart, he knew that Lin Jianyue was more benevolent, didn't his ancestors take good care of the royal family of the previous dynasty? Ning Zexun did have this opportunity, but unfortunately he gave it up himself.

Ning Zexun arrived, Lin Jianyue held a court meeting at a time that was not the Great Dynasty, and he wanted to tell everyone that not everything he could tolerate.

Wang Gui came, Li Boyu also came, they looked at Ning Zexun who was trembling and walking on the main hall, and sighed in their hearts.

The ministers in the palace held their breath, their eyes moved with Ning Zexun's figure, no one dared to say anything, and even their expressions were the same, that is, there was no expression.

At the beginning of the empire, the power has not been completely balanced and stable, and there are also disputes between the north and the south, civil and military, and between the central and local governments.

Lin Jianyue looked at the old Ning Zexun, and he didn't feel good in his heart. He didn't let Ning Zexun kneel, let alone get up to greet him and make a gesture or anything, but asked someone to move a big chair for him and sit in the middle of the hall, the scene was very weird.

Lin Jianyue was afraid that Ning Zexun would collapse to the ground for a while, and the feces and urine would flow together, which would not look good.

Who was the one who read the indictment? Zhou Zhengtao, who Lin Jianyue specially selected, is a great talent! Among the criminals, this is the only person Lin Jianyue doesn't want to kill, because he is not young, he is even less courageous, and he only likes poetry, songs, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Lin Jianyue also wants to tell the world that no matter how dissatisfied he is, it's okay, but only people like Zhou Zhengtao can live.

Du Ming rebelled, and there was nothing to say about the crime, at the beginning Zhou Zhengtao's voice was excited, righteous words, but slowly his voice lowered, because the long list of guilty ministers had begun to read the people standing in the court, and in the end, Zhou Zhengtao knelt down, just kept kowtowing, couldn't say anything, and more than ten people had fallen in the ranks of the courtiers.

Ma Yanchu listed the crown and knelt down: "Your Majesty, the Weichen Imperial Majesty is not strict, let them do such a disrespectful and rebellious thing, the crime is unforgivable, and they should be exiled without a crown to deter the world." ”

Without waiting for Wang Gui and them to speak, Lin Jianyue waved his hand and said: "You can't blame you just because Aiqing is the leader of the scholars in Jiangnan, who did something wrong, I know in my heart, you get up, go back!" Ma Yan did not dare to disobey.

Lin Jianyue didn't care about Zhou Zhengtao, who was kneeling on the ground, but stepped down from the throne, came to Ning Zexun, who was basically lying on the chair, and said, "Shun Minghou, it seems that you don't understand the meaning of your title's name!" Your ancestors did a good job back then, and I also wanted to learn and not make the change of dynasty bloody, so I gave you a chance to retire, and even when the rebellion occurred, you listened to Qi Ziyan's words, and today you are still obedient, and you can still enjoy the glory and wealth. But you didn't, why didn't you have such courage when you were in the position? ”

The ministers were awe-inspiring in their hearts, and even what Ning Zexun said when he rebelled was clear, what does this mean? His Majesty didn't even move a finger, he didn't have a will, the rebellion was put down, those who disagreed were killed, and even the inner Ying in the court had been jumping around there. Well, there is not even a chance to accuse.

Everyone secretly looked at Lin Jianyue standing in the center of the main hall, and the majesty and domineering of the emperor were undoubtedly revealed.

"Wang Xian, give a glass of wine to the obedient marquis!"

Immediately, two chamberlains stepped forward and poured a glass of wine into Ning Zexun, who thought it was poisonous wine and struggled desperately, but it was useless, and everyone was silent.

Lin Jianyue sighed: "I know that after today, the history books will say that I am consolidating the imperial power and cutting the grass and eradicating the roots. Alas! I would have turned my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch! ”

That glass of wine was not poisonous wine, but Lin Jianyue didn't want to hear Ning Zexun's words begging for mercy, just let him be silent for the time being, let him retain the last trace of dignity of Ning Dynasty!

"If I want to kill him, how can I use any poisonous wine? That would seem empty-hearted. Wang Xian, you were once an old minister of the Ning Dynasty, so it's up to you to send him on his last journey! Give the obedient Hou Bai Aya! ”

"Obey the Divine Commandment!"

Wang Xian and another chamberlain did not hesitate, and put Bai Aya into Ning Zexun's neck on top of the main hall and strangled him to death.

And Lin Jianyue stood in front of Ning Zexun and watched Ning Zexun being strangled to death, without evasion, his face did not change, and his heart was calm.

However, many people in the main hall were almost unsteady, and the faces that had the bottom of their hearts did not change, and the vests that had other thoughts in their hearts were wet.

This is deterrence, this is a warning, this is the power of the founding emperor, this is the fate of the rebels, this is the companion of the king like a tiger.

"Ning Zexun showed the courage of the former royal family at the last moment, carry it out! Buried with princely rites. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming!" The crowd had to speak.

Lin Jianyue returned to the throne, stopped in front of Zhou Zhengtao, and then asked Wang Xian to help him up, Wang Xian's hand had just strangled an emperor, and put it on Zhou Zhengtao's body to make him goosebumps rise, and his legs trembled.

"Master Zhou, you, you are really not suitable to be an official, but it's a pity that you are talented. I know what you want, that is, I want to write a few more poems, and you record it first-hand, and it is best for me to stamp it or something, so that it can be passed on to future generations. ”

Zhou Zhengtao was old, and tears came down.

"But your proud disciple doesn't think so, so he has to drag you into the water. As for you, I heard that it was not a real rebellion, but just a means to regain power, so you agreed in a daze, but in fact you didn't know anything, and passed on a few less important pieces of news to him. Master Zhou, you don't have a big heart and are not sparse, but your disciple is the opposite, he seems to be shrewd, he can't avoid his eyes and ears when he does this, and he doesn't know how to do it, and he doesn't even know if his own guards can believe it, such a person is bent on power and ability, what's the use of me coming? Useless to the empire, useless to the people, then only let him play the final role. Spread my will, since Dai Nianshu and below the six grades of officials, there is no need to wait until the autumn, I don't have enough food for the people and soldiers, how can it be wasted on them? Kill the three clans! ”

Chrysostom said that the blood flowed like a river, and the ministers were terrified. This is no longer the kind and kind Majesty in the impression, and everyone's hearts tremble.

"Master Zhou, you don't want to be a big official, it's easy to be cheated. I'm going to set up a Guozijian, you can teach you to write history! Cultivate some real backbone, capable and dedicated scholars for the people! ”

Lin Jianyue's every sentence has a deep meaning, and everyone thinks about it in their hearts.

From the time he was assassinated by Deng Chan to the end at this time, he was far-sighted, one release and one kill, one pull and one dozen, with ease and relaxation, this is the way of the emperor.
