Let's say that on the side of Guozijian, a team of brocade guards came here.

Zhu Xianming's will has been implemented, and the eunuchs have gone to the Ministry of Rites to announce the decree, and the Jinyi guards are here to beat people.

Under the leadership of 100 households, a group of school captains broke into the Guozi Prison, and took people in various study halls according to the roster, and all parts of the prison suddenly made a lot of noise.

Soon more than a dozen people were taken down, all of whom were pressed in the courtyard by the Jinyi guards, and the captain had already stood still with water and fire sticks, waiting for the decree to be announced before the execution began.

At this moment, a large number of students have gathered in the courtyard, and most of them are full of righteous indignation, thinking that it is the Jinyi guard who is fierce and powerful.

Looking at the unconvinced students in front of him, the hundred households leading the team read aloud: "...... order"

These two words alone made the inmates present bow down one after another, even the professor who stepped forward to inquire about the situation.

"Xu Baoxiang and other thirteen people, who do not learn the scriptures, collude with friends, and talk about the royal family in vain, it is really hateful......"

was characterized as a party for personal gain, and it was also a vain discussion of the royal family, and the prisoners present immediately understood what was going on.

In recent days, rumors about the inner house of King Xiang's Mansion have also spread widely in Guozijian, and many people have discussed it in private, including Feng Yuan.

Someone had also found him for this joint performance, but Feng Yuan wisely declined the matter, and he only felt extremely fortunate at this time.

"These thirteen people have misbehaved, and they will be punished with twenty rods each, expelled from the state prison, and their fame will never be used!"

Hearing this, the students present were surprised to let out a loud cry, it was really too harsh to punish it.

The cane can be beared, the expulsion from the country can also study, and the fame can be re-examined, but it will never be used...... It's to block all possibilities.

Although these people are still alive, they are already socially dead.

At present, it is not the former Ming, the scholars have been tamed to a deeper extent, and the atmosphere and environment of criticizing current affairs to invite direct names do not exist, and these thirteen people have really been beaten into the abyss.

"Students are wronged, students are wronged, ......"

"Students and others are for Kuang Zheng......"

"I beg the Holy God to forgive ...... sins"

In this courtyard, all kinds of life were suddenly staged.

There are those who shout grievances, those who remain unchanged, and those who retreat and ask for forgiveness......

However, none of these behaviors can change the final result.

"Strip them of their crowns!" The team leader was expressionless.

Without hesitation, the lieutenants immediately took off the robes of the arrested prisoners.

So that these people were left with only one garment, and they shivered in the cold wind.

"Wronged...... Wronged......"

Everyone seemed to realize that they were going to get real about it, so they begged for mercy.

"Execution!" Team leader Baihu said calmly.

No matter how these people shouted, the captains were unmoved, picked up the sticks and beckoned to the prisoners, and the scene immediately let out a wail.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Feng Yuan's heart was shocked again, no matter who he was in front of the royal family, he was just a discardable mustard.

As the old saying goes, you don't hear anything outside the window, and you only read the books of the sages with all your heart, this is the way to self-cultivation...... Feng Yuan thought secretly.

The prisoner's recital was conveyed by the General Administration Department, and it was the most formal procedure, so everyone in the court was staring at this matter.

While the executions were still going on, a large number of officials from various ministries and institutes had begun to contact each other privately to seek justice for the prisoners.

About half an hour later, more than 30 officials appeared outside the Qianqing Gate, kneeling in front of the door one by one to pray for the saint.

In fact, only a small number of these officials were arranged by King Rui, some of them were out of public interest, and the other part was the prince's people.

At this point, things are beyond the control of King Rui, and he is happy to see it happen.

Zhu Jinghong's strong rise, coupled with his previous actions in Gansu, inevitably attracted him enemies, and now these people just happened to be gathered together.

In the Qianqing Palace, the emperor already knew about the situation outside, and the crown prince Rui Wang was involved in this matter, which really made him feel extremely cold, even if this was what he expected.

But he did wronged the prince, and Zhu Jingyuan didn't know about what was going on outside the door today.

To be precise, there are many things he doesn't know.

On the dragon chair, Zhu Xianming was thinking about it, and a eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, the three scholars have arrived and are outside to persuade them to go back!" ”

Zhu Xianming didn't speak, he couldn't be sure what these three were thinking.

After a few breaths, Zhu Xianming said in a deep voice: "Spread the order to the Fusi of Beizhen, let them prepare!" ”

The so-called preparation, of course, is the preparation to arrest people, this kind of thing has happened many times in the past, especially in the first few years when Zhu Xianming took office.

was taken into prison by Jinyiwei, even if he can get out alive, the removal from his official position is basically a certainty.

"Yes!"

Immediately afterwards, Zhu Xianming picked up the newspaper again, telling about the Qingzhang of Jinling, and there were many incidents during this time.

After a while, a eunuch announced: "Your Majesty, King Rui has arrived at Qianqingmen and is admonishing the officials with the elders!" ”

The sixth man pretended to be a good person at this time, maybe he was the mastermind behind the scenes...... Zhu Xianming thought secretly.

But he wasn't stupid enough to do this, maybe he really came to show his kindness......

The heart of the monarch is unpredictable, which can be seen.

At this time, outside the Qianqing door, Zhu Jingyuan was panting and admonishing, he was really working hard at this moment.

Seeing that the prince and those people were also there, he was so happy in his heart that he only said that today was a double happiness.

The more hot these people will be, the more unstable the Xue family's concubine position will be, and the more difficult it will be for the old thirteen's inner house to be peaceful......

So now, whether these officials continue to stay or not doesn't matter to Zhu Jingyuan.

Then, if he can persuade these people to leave, it will be another credit for him.

The people he brought in by himself were naturally the first to be "influenced" by him, and they praised "what His Royal Highness King Rui said is extremely true", and then left the Qianqing Gate with interest.

But here in other people, Zhu Jingyuan touched his nose, especially the prince's people sarcastically said a few words to him, which made this guy suddenly murderous.

Of course, the three pavilion elders were not idle, and their words also played a role, and finally a few people left the scene.

But what's worse is that more people who have learned the news are gathering here in Qianqingmen one after another, which makes the number of people at the scene increase instead of decreasing.

However, with the arrival of a large number of brocade guards, the discussion on the scene gradually quieted down.

The lieutenants quickly closed the Qianqing Gate and stared at the nearly 100 officials at the scene with unkind eyes, and they were about to take people as soon as their superiors spoke.

At this moment, Li Qingxiang, the commander of the Beizhen Fusi, also arrived, and he had to come over in person on such an occasion to rest assured.

"Where are you gathered here and making a lot of noise?"

"If you still have half a conscience, you should disperse as soon as possible and return to their places, otherwise you will blame the official for not being merciful!"

Although Li Qingxiang's tone was stern, in fact, he hoped more than anyone else that these people would get out of the house as soon as they saw it.

If the person is arrested and brought back to be tried, it will be a matter of offending people when the time comes, and Li Qingxiang certainly does not want to make trouble.

Of course, he knows the identity of Jinyiwei very well, so he will do everything that needs to be done, otherwise he will have to fold it in first.

At this moment, the crown prince Zhu Jingyuan also arrived at the scene, and he was already out of breath when he was helped by the eunuch and ran over.

Originally, he was not in good health, but in the past two days, he learned that Gao Shuyan was killed, which made him suffer a heavy blow to his mental level, and even now he looks even more haggard.

"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Qianqing Palace, not a place for you to be presumptuous...... Let's go back quickly! ”

The prince's haggard appearance really shook the hearts of the officials present.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the ministers and others came this time out of public intentions, and did not make the saint unjustly punish the loyal ......and upright."

"Yes, Your Highness, the ministers are all sincere, and there is no intention of being presumptuous......"

Compared with Zhu Jingyuan, everyone present was more willing to complain to the prince, after all, this soft-hearted and kind-hearted person might be able to persuade him to join in.

Zhu Jingyuan would not have thought that these people would want to turn him against him.

"Fourth brother, I remember that Director Zhang, as well as that Chen Shaoqing, were both old people in your East Palace......"

Although Zhu Jingyuan was just a simple sentence, the meaning of Xiang Zhuang's sword dance was obvious, after all, even Zhu Jingyuan could see it.

"Sixth, don't stir up trouble here, today's disaster...... It's not all picked out! Zhu Jingyuan scolded angrily.

This is where the prince is stupid, bringing unclean things to the table, without taking into account the overall situation and impact.

Sure enough, today really kills two birds with one stone, can you be more cute, prince? Zhu Jingyuan laughed in his heart.

But at the same time, I saw him humbly say: "Fourth brother...... The little brother has offended you somewhere, and even summoned such an accusation! ”

"Could it be that the younger brother persuaded them to go back, and what big mistake did they make? Or did it disrupt the deployment of the fourth brother? ”

People who are too smart often hurt themselves because of their conceit.

The officials who stayed at the scene at the moment were not all speculators from the Rui Palace, and a large part of them were out of public interest to intercede on behalf of the punished prisoners.

So when they heard that King Rui framed the prince, how could these people accept it, especially the old people of the East Palace among them.

I only heard Chen Shaoqing, who was pointed out by Zhu Jingyuan, said angrily: "His Royal Highness King Rui, the officials present today are all my ministers of the Ming Dynasty, but what kind of old people are you talking about in the East Palace, is it possible that the East Palace and the Ming Dynasty are separated?" ”

As soon as these words fell, someone spoke up and said: "The prince is my Ming country, can His Royal Highness King Rui be the master of the saint and take out the prince of the country?" ”

The officials elected through the imperial examination are not weak in terms of lip service.

Zhu Jingyuan persuaded his own people away just now, so that there was not even a single person to support him, and he was extremely uncomfortable at this moment.

"I am close to the crown prince, and if you are so upside down black and white and slanderous, do you want to damage my brotherhood?" Zhu Jingyuan asked with a gloomy face.

As soon as these words came out, most of the people present had to sigh that His Royal Highness King Rui was really thick-skinned.

It's ridiculous to talk about brotherhood just for the things he did, and the face to talk about brotherhood.

Zhu Xianming had a real-time grasp of what was happening outside, and he couldn't bear the embarrassment of his two sons any longer, so Cheng Ying came to Qianqing.

"The Lord's Voice ......"

Hearing this, the officials present could only kneel down and kowtow honestly, regardless of whether they were convinced or not.

"If you are disobedient, I have endured it again and again, if you ignore the friendship of kings and ministers, I can only enforce the law of the country!"

Cheng Yingnian immediately reprimanded harshly; "Jin Yiwei!"

"Yes!"

Hundreds of lieutenants present shouted in unison, directly filling the deterrent power, as the emperor's pro-army and the first guard of the Ming Dynasty, they had a sense of pride and pride.

When the officials present heard the shouts, they all felt trembling and frightened, and only a few people with strong wills could barely maintain their "dignity" at the moment.

"Hurry up, don't you wait...... Do you really want to fall into the situation of disloyalty and unfilial piety? ”

"Your Majesty, everything will be judged, how can you wait for such a situation......"

Under the murderous deterrence of Jinyiwei, and under the persuasion of the three ministers and the two princes, someone finally wisely chose to leave.

But before everyone left, he listened to Cheng Ying's order: "Take down all these rebellious people who disobey the monarch's father!" ”

In the end, a dozen or so people were left, and a few of them wanted to get up and leave, but they didn't know that they would encounter such a scene.

Normally, since some people are leaving one after another, the people of Jinyiwei will not do it, and then this matter will be considered "everyone happy".

At this time, Li Qingxiang was also surprised, but Cheng Ying's words represented the emperor's will, so he could only order his subordinates to carry it out.

As a result, a total of twelve officials left behind were also taken down by the Jinyi Guard, and then they were escorted away from the scene.

Seeing this scene, the first assistant Zhao Yushan was thoughtful, and the second assistant Chen Jinyun was expressionless, but he was very sorry in his heart.

Only Sanfu Zheng Zhiqing couldn't help but sigh at the moment, and secretly said that these people who were arrested were messed up, so they were completely finished.

As for Zhu Jingyuan's brothers, they looked at each other unpleasantly.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's go and ask the Holy One for our sins!" Zhao Yushan opened his mouth to break the silence.

As auxiliary ministers of the cabinet, they did not appease the officials well, so that these incidents occurred, and it was also the right thing to ask for guilt.

However, Zhu Xianming didn't see them, and just asked them to go back to the council.

Of course, Zhu Jingyuan's request for a face saint was also rejected by Zhu Xianming, and he felt angry when he looked at these two people.

After everyone retreated, Zhu Xianming read a few more copies, and found that he really couldn't calm down, so he simply left the Qianqing Palace and went north.

can calm his heart, and the queen is the only one.

Walking to Kunning Palace, Zhu Xianming did not let people pass it on, and walked in quietly by himself.

At this time, the queen was idle, fiddling with flowers and plants in the back hall, and she already knew what was going on outside the door.

Looking at the emperor who walked in, Yang Qingyin did not get up to greet him, but pointed to the chair next to him.

Zhu Xianming sat down by himself, and then a palace maid brought tea, and then they each retreated.

"Go down too!" Yang Qingyin instructed the rest of the palace maids present.

"Yes!"

After everyone left, only the emperor and queen were left at the scene, and Zhu Xianming said angrily: "Those two embarrassing goods, I will be angry with them sooner or later!" ”

Yang Qingyin also knew that the two sons were making trouble in this matter, and they were also framing the thirteenth who had made great contributions, which made her feel very uncomfortable.

Yang Qingyin replied: "I am responsible, I didn't teach them well!" ”

She has always thought that the sixth child is insidious and the fourth child is upright, but now in her opinion, the fourth child can't be trusted.

In a sense, Zhu Jingyuan has indeed gained a lot today, at least the queen no longer trusts the prince.

"These two bastards ......"

Zhu Xianming wanted to scold a few words, but in the end he didn't want to say a word, and after sighing, he shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, he thought of his youngest son again, but found that the guy who was particularly annoying in the past was now so good and pleasing to the eye!

"These rumors in Beijing, I thought that the government would strictly rectify them, but I expected that they would intensify, and the soldiers and horses of Tianfu and Wucheng should be ...... There are also brocade guards, and those involved must be severely punished! Zhu Xianming said hatefully.

Turning around, Yang Qingyin said slowly: "They are sandwiched between the fourth and sixth children, and they also have a last resort......

juxtaposing the fourth and sixth children, it can be seen that in Yang Qingyin's eyes, he is indeed disappointed in the prince.

"But there's only a sky above them!" Zhu Xianming's eyes are not good.

Yang Qingyin wanted to defend the officials a few more words, but there was a sound of an announcement outside.

"Your Majesty, Niangniang...... The prince fainted just now, and the imperial doctors saw that it was no longer a big problem, saying that it was caused by excessive anger! ”
