Zhu Qiyu took the confession, glanced at it casually, and laughed.

Sure enough, the officials protected each other, and the confessions recorded by the three divisions avoided the important and trivialized, and the crimes of the ten people were stuck to the point where they were just enough to carry out the death penalty.

The third division also knew that the death penalty was inevitable, but he resolutely refused to carry out Zhu Qiyu's request to destroy his family.

Surprisingly, Zhu Qiyu did not raise any questions, and directly ordered the cabinet and the celebrant to complete all the procedures, and then immediately execute the death sentence.

Seeing this, the civil and military officials were all relieved.

The rebellious crime of raiding the house and destroying the door was finally reduced to an ordinary homicide case where ten lives are worth one life, which is already a blessing.

After this half-day toss, no one wanted to further stimulate Zhu Qiyu.

Therefore, whether it was the hundred officials who participated in the siege, or Chen Xun and other important ministers, they no longer argued and acquiesced to this result.

After Wang Hong and others wrote a suicide note, ate a broken meal, drank a severed head wine, and cried goodbye to the ministers, they were pressed on the bench by the guards.

Liu Chang asked Zhu Qiyu for instructions: "Your Highness, everything is ready, do you want to execute immediately?" ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Liu Chang, your ability to manage the army is really good, in just one day, these guards under your command can order and prohibit it, and they will not be chaotic in the face of danger."

Work hard, and your future will be limitless. Now, you can personally give Wang Hong a ride, which can be regarded as my respect for him. ”

Oh, this time Liu Chang was also framed, and he could only follow Zhu Qiyu all the way to the black, and there was no turning back.

Cheng Jing and Liu Chang glanced at each other, everyone is really a difficult brother.

As soon as Zhu Qiyu waved his hand, the execution began immediately.

In the square, the sound of screams suddenly rose one after another, making every minister present who was watching the execution tremble in horror and turn pale.

There were dozens of ministers, who were already cold, and when they were frightened again, they fainted one after another.

Fortunately, Liu Chang had already ordered his subordinates to be more vigorous when they were executed, and try to give these ministers a good time.

So in a short time, the cane was over, and the ten ministers were silent.

Zhu Qiyu stood up and ordered: "Let's take the head, hang the head on the city wall to show the public, to set an example." ”

As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials were anxious, and they knelt on the ground to admonish.

Zhu Qiyu scolded the minister who knelt on the ground: "500,000 elites were lost in one day, and now I am in danger, not only do you not want to defend the capital and save the imperial brother."

On the contrary, relying on the young age of the emperor's eldest son, he acted arbitrarily, and even went to the court to kill the chief official of the Jinyi Guard, and gathered a crowd to coerce the prince of the prison country. This is to ignore the emperor, despise the queen mother, and blatantly trample on the dignity of the royal family.

If it is strictly dealt with according to the law, all of you should be punished. The widow thought that in the face of the national crisis, he was in a hurry to obey the power, so he spared his life for the time being.

Now all of you accomplices have one major demerit and are not allowed to be promoted for three years. After welcoming back the royal brother, the widow will tell the story of this incident as it is, and ask the imperial brother to continue to pursue your sins. ”

The hundred officials were stunned when they heard this: Wait for His Majesty to come back and continue to investigate? Ma Shun is Wang Zhen's cronie, and Wang Zhen is His Majesty's cronie, so can it be traced down at that time?

Zhu Qiyu ignored these and continued: "From now on, Yu Qian will take over as the secretary of the military department and the governor of the capital. The military department quickly dispatched the king's army to Beijing, and immediately began to reorganize the army for war. ”

At this time, Wang Zhi hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, according to the regular procedure, the appointment of Shangshu must be recommended by the court. ”

Zhu Qiyu replied with a serious face: "There is no court push, from now on, all major military affairs will be decided by the widow."

In the future, you will be responsible to the widow, and the widow will be responsible to Your Majesty.

After welcoming back to His Majesty, if His Majesty thinks that the widow has mishandled things and delayed the affairs of the country, the widow will be killed by prostrating himself on the ground and pleading his neck.

If the capital is not protected, the widow will also die for the country and live and die with the capital. ”

Wang Zhi wanted to say more, so Zhu Qiyu preemptively said: "If you don't accept it, it's okay, come and come, the position of the prison is here, and whoever of you is not convinced will come and sit."

You sit down, you have the final say on major military affairs, and you are responsible for all the responsibilities.

Whoever wants to sit in this position, just come forward, I will definitely not stop you. ”

As soon as these words came out, Wang Zhi couldn't say anything more.

Zhu Qiyu saw that the ministers no longer spoke, so he smiled and said: "Ge Lao, Shang Shu, as well as Dali Siqing and Zuodu Yushi, follow me to Cining Palace to meet the Queen Mother." Let the others disperse, and allow you to take a day off and start tomorrow with all your might, and prepare for the great war. ”

A group of ministers hurriedly agreed, and hurriedly saluted and retired.

Suddenly, Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly again: "Oh no, there is something I forgot." ”

The bluffing ministers panicked, and they thought that Zhu Qiyu remembered what he was going to show to the public just now.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "Before the imperial brother comes back, there is no need to go to court." Everyone is in their own way, and if there is anything, just write a notebook. ”

After saying that, Zhu Qiyu turned around and walked towards Cining Palace, and Jin Ying, Xing'an and others hurriedly followed.

When he arrived at Cining Palace, Zhu Qiyu took Chen Xun and others to stand outside the palace and ordered Jin Ying and Xing'an to report first.

However, after Jin Ying and Xing'an went in, they didn't come out again for a long time.

Zhu Qiyu didn't care, pulled too modest, and asked with a smile: "Yu Shangshu, where has the Qin Wangjun gone?" ”

Yu Qian felt this bitterness in his heart, just now in Fengtianmen, everyone suffered a loss, and only one person was promoted, which is simply standing out from the crowd. Even if you have to be promoted, you can change the time. King Yu, the ridiculous prince, properly pulled a great hatred for himself, and he was really lacking in virtue and smoking.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was still waiting for his reply, Yu Qian had no choice but to bite the bullet and roughly explain the deployment of King Qin.

When the two of them had almost finished talking, it happened that Xing'an came out of Cining Palace and invited everyone in.

Zhu Qiyu tidied up his appearance and brewed his feelings, and then took the ministers into Cining Palace.

As soon as he arrived at the main hall and saw the Empress Dowager Sun from a distance, Zhu Qiyu ran to the Empress Dowager in a panic, brushed the ground and knelt on the ground, kowtowing while crying bitterly.

Empress Dowager Sun had already listened to Jin Ying talk about the process of the court meeting in detail, and at this time, she saw Zhu Qiyu crying and making trouble, and she was even more impatient. Then he scolded softly: "What are you crying about, what are you crying about, how old are you, how can you still be like a child, if you have anything to say, get up and say." ”

Zhu Qiyu knelt on the ground and said mournfully: "The Queen Mother Mingjian, the ministers are reversed." Without going through any legal procedures, they commanded Ma Shun in Jinyi, which was without the authority of the Queen Mother in their eyes, and wantonly trampled on the royal dignity.

They felt that the 500,000 elites of the Ming Dynasty had been lost, and the 200,000 Warat Iron Cavalry would soon arrive in Beijing. Therefore, in the eyes of the ministers, there is no Ming Dynasty and no Queen Mother.

Queen Mother, people's hearts are scattered, and the general trend has gone. The minister asked the queen mother to take the three princes to Nanjing immediately, and then called on the southern vassal kings and ministers to enter the king of Jingqin.

The ministers are willing to lead the civil and military nobles to defend Beijing and live and die with the city. If Beijing is not guaranteed, the minister should die to thank the world, please ask the Queen Mother to know clearly. ”
