The official addiction of the Arazhiyuan has just been satisfied, and he is on the rise, eager to carry out the edict of the Ming Emperor to show his loyalty.

Yu Qian was the complete opposite, although he did not dare to openly disobey the emperor's edict, but he was also a little reluctant to carry it out, because these rebel generals were not just Yang Hong's old subordinates.

So Yu Qian replied to the Elder Governor's Court: "King Cheng, don't worry, the emperor's edict clearly stated that all civil and military officials of the Xuanfu Seventh rank and above must be present. Therefore, the lower officials have to check the roster to make sure that everyone has gone to the city to watch the punishment. ”

Ah Ra smiled: "Okay, then don't worry, anyway, these people have to die today." The emperor also said that it would not be long before Yang Jun would be sentenced to death, please Yu Shangshu tell Yang Hong and let him prepare the coffin as soon as possible. ”

When Yu Qian heard this, his brows furrowed even tighter.

From the bottom of his heart, Yu Qian already admires Zhu Qiyu a little, this emperor's execution is really good, and he is really ruthless when he says that he wants to attack Shanxi officialdom. Only three months after ascending the throne, the emperor had already begun to wield a butcher's knife against Shanxi.

But admiration is admiration, and in the end, everyone has a different position. At the beginning, Hu Hui, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian were all a little frightened by Xinjun. But now, these important ministers of the Xuande Dynasty are gradually coming back to their senses: what the emperor wants to do is not only to suppress the orthodox emperor's line, in order to secure his own throne.

These are nothing, and they are still within the scope of acceptance by the important ministers. But now everyone is becoming more and more aware that the emperor still wants to completely liquidate the Xuande Dynasty.

This thing is weird, and it is the first time that the ministers have seen their son insist on liquidating Lao Tzu.

Moreover, the new monarch's hatred for the Xuande courtiers was far greater than his hatred for the orthodox courtiers.

For Zhu Qizhen's descendants, Wang Ji, Chen Mao, Liu Pu and others, the new monarch either gave him an official promotion or put it aside and ignored it, and there was no excesses from beginning to end. On the contrary, for Sanyang, it can be regarded as a complete grasp.

Although Sanyang is dead, his cronies are still all over the court.

Unfortunately, Yang Hong at the head of Xuanfu City and Yu Qian himself outside the gate of Xuanfu City are all cronies of Sanyang. Moreover, during the Xuande Dynasty, the relationship between Yu Qian and Sanyang was so obvious that it was impossible to skim it now.

After repeated considerations, Yu Qian finally made the final decision and refused to follow Xinjun's strategy of liquidating Sanyang.

Yu Qian can accept the liquidation of Yang Hong, but he really can't accept the liquidation of Sanyang.

Soon, Yu Qian finished checking the civil and military officials of the Xuan Mansion, and there were many of them, and even Yang Hong stood on the city tower to watch the execution.

Ah Ra Zhiyuan asked with a smile: "Yu Shangshu, are you okay now?" ”

"Alright."

Yu Qian was preoccupied, and he didn't think much about it, so he subconsciously replied. Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Ah Ra Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Dozens of personal soldiers immediately pushed more than a dozen rebel generals to the city of Xuanfu, their hands falling with knives, and their heads rolling.

After the incident, the soldiers threw the body of the rebel general in place, kicked it a few times, and motioned to Yang Hong at the head of the city to come down and collect the body.

As for the head of the rebel general, the soldiers picked it up again and pinned it to their waists as trophies.

Not only did the soldiers at the head of the city begin to shout, but even Yu Qian under the city couldn't stand it anymore, and asked the Arazhiyuan: "King Cheng, what do you mean by this?" As the saying goes, people die and complain, and the cut has already been cut, so why humiliate the body? ”

Ah Ra Zhiyuan retorted disapprovingly: "Yu Shangshu's words are not right, even according to the rules of the Ming Dynasty, those who have committed the most heinous crimes will have to show the public after cutting off their heads."

Besides, I am under the edict of the great emperor to send the heads of these rebel generals back to Beijing. Why don't I bring the emperor's edict to Yu Shangshu to see? ”

Yu Qian glanced at Aro Zhiyuan coldly, no longer entangled, turned around and returned to the city, ending this strange and embarrassing scene: at this execution ceremony, Aro Zhiyuan looked like Zhu Qiyu's loyal minister, and Yang Hong looked like a traitor who rebelled against the new monarch.

And Yu Qian is caught in the middle, neither loyal to the orthodox emperor nor to the Jingtai Emperor, but loyal to the late Xuande Emperor, which is particularly redundant and embarrassing.

Fortunately, the execution was over, and after returning to the city, there was mutual complaining and cursing among the civil and military officials of the Xuan Mansion.

The smartest type of people, such as Cui Wenxiu, saw that the situation was wrong, so they took the lead and ran away without looking back. The rest are also very smart, that is, those who react a little slower, and when they saw the dozen or so human heads rolling on the ground, they came back to their senses, and began to write a recital, drawing a clear line with Yang Hong, and showing their loyalty to Xinjun.

Soon the book was written, and as soon as the envoy sent by Zhu Qiyu was about to leave the city, he was surrounded by these civil and military officials of the Xuanfu.

The envoy was taken aback, and saw that the officials were each holding a notebook in their hands, stuffing it into their own hands, and chanting long live the saint.

The envoy adhered to Zhu Qiyu's style of acting, and directly told everyone: "Your recital doesn't have to be on, it's useless." If you are honest and honest when you are in office, and you do not show your loyalty, the emperor will not do anything to you.

If you do something corrupt and pervert the law, even if you shout long live and shout to break your throat, it will not help.

Yu Shangshu was sent by the emperor to check on you. Check them one by one, and no one can run away. That's it, let's all disperse, I'm going back to report to the emperor. ”

With that, the envoy parted the crowd and left in a hurry.

While the people in Xuanfu were panicking, Zhu Qiyu was lying on the bed, begging for rain leisurely.

This begging for rain is really asking for rain, and several favorite concubines looked at it in a daze, feeling incredible at the emperor's behavior.

Zhu Qiyu really couldn't stand the sympathetic and caring eyes of several favorite concubines, so he had to explain seriously: "Although I am not the Dragon King, I am the true Dragon Emperor. The true dragon is also a dragon, and if it rains, it will rain. ”

When Twilight heard this, she also asked seriously, "Husband, the inner court just sent a bunch of things over today." What ginseng, deer antler, yellow essence and the like, it is said that it is the share of the emperor and the concubine.

Why don't you stew some ginseng chicken soup for you to drink, and it would be much better to drink two bowls. ”

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand vigorously: "Let them stop sending it, we can't eat a bite of the things sent by the inner court." These people wish our family would die early and be overborn, and you even want to stew the ginseng soup they sent. ”

Twilight hurriedly agreed, and asked, "What about these things that have already been sent?" For the guards? ”

"No, no, no, don't give it to the guards. Our lives are our lives, but the lives of our guards are not? What if you get poisoned?

Especially chronic poisons are the most terrible, what if you can't have a child after eating? Isn't that a lifetime of ruin?

In this case, you let the princess use a separate treasury and put these things away. In the future, those who are sent to the red and white ceremonies and usherings will be taken as gifts and sent to the homes of the nobles, relatives, and ministers of the emperor's faction. ”

Dusk Yu was afraid that Zhu Qiyu would be in a hurry again, so she hurriedly agreed, and immediately turned around and went out to arrange.

Zhu Qiyu also instructed the other favorite concubines: "You must keep in mind that you must guard those people in the palace as enemies who do not share the sky." ”
