596 The crown prince left Beijing to serve King Yi, and hundreds of loyal ministers were forced to follow

Until Zhu Qizhen's chariot turned to the east and completely disappeared from everyone's sight.

Zhu Qiyu slowly got up under Ruan Xi's support, and then sighed heavily: It's finally over, in the future, I will be the only one between heaven and earth, and I will no longer have to kneel for a living man.

At this time, in the eyes of the military generals and the people of Beijing, today's son is white-clothed and jade-crowned, cold and resolute, and has the feeling of being independent and proud of heaven and earth.

At this point, everyone has to face up to today.

Such a decisive abolition of the emperor means that the emperor has reached the verge of an outbreak, and a small matter or a remark against the ear may trigger a purge at any time.

Zhu Qiyu didn't even look back, let alone go to see the military generals and the people of Beijing, he got into the chariot and returned to the palace along the Qiguo Avenue that cost millions of taels.

As soon as the emperor left, the pro-army withdrew, everyone was free, and a heated discussion began.

There are also some people who are interested, such as Wei Ji, Xue Xuan and others, who are masters of science, and they all went home with sighs. Zhou Chen and other technocrats also went back to work.

Wang Wen, Jiang Yuan, He Wenyuan and others were in high spirits, and the Jingtai Dynasty finally became the real Jingtai Dynasty.

The days of paradox and ambiguity are finally over.

Ruan Xi and Shu Liang took their subordinates and couldn't wait to go back to clean.

Soon, Shu Liang came to Jinyiwei Prison and first entered the cell where Liao Zhuang was held.

When Liao Zhuang saw Shu Liang coming in, he asked with an eager look in his eyes.

Shu Liang smiled very kindly: "Yuan Gong has abolished the title of emperor and demoted him to King Yi, and he has set off immediately to Nanjing to guard the tomb of Taizu."

Yiwang voluntarily closed his door and thought about it, and repented of his past mistakes. From then on, no one could approach Yiwang.

However, Liao Shilang, please rest assured, Yiwang's food and clothing will be thicker than before, and he will not be offended. ”

After that, Shu Liang clapped his hands, and several little eunuchs walked in with food boxes.

Shu Liang said with a smile: "This is all specially ordered by the emperor, please take the chef of Tianlou to make it for you." Liao Shilang, you enjoy it slowly, don't hurry. ”

Liao Zhuang sighed: "Can I see my family again?" ”

Shu Liang shook his head: "The emperor has already left you enough dignity, so why bother to implicate your family again." If you say something to your family that you shouldn't say, do you say that the emperor will kill them or not? I don't think it's better to embarrass the emperor. ”

After that, Shu Liang took out three feet of white silk from his sleeve, gently placed it on the side of the bed, and slowly retreated.

Then came to Ruan Lang and Wang Yao's cells. It was still the meal that the chef had just cooked, and a large table was filled.

Ruan Lang is a native of Annam, and has no relatives in Beijing, only a righteous son. Wang Yao is a native of Hejian Province and has relatives.

The two of them had the opportunity to see their families, and the little eunuch gently placed a tray on the bed.

Shu Liang added: "White silk and dove wine, you can choose for yourself." According to the agreement, after you commit suicide, the Xu family will collect the body for burial. There will be no more repercussions, and when the matter comes to you, it will be over.

Eat slowly, don't rush, and cut yourself before the sun rises tomorrow. ”

Although it was a suicide, Ruan Lang and Wang Yao still knelt down and sincerely thanked the emperor. When today's son really speaks, what he promised before, what he has fulfilled now, without the slightest drag.

Walking out of the edict, Shu Liang instructed Lu Gao: "Keep an eye on the entire Jingshi, if there is a slight change in Xuanmiao and the remnants of King Yi, arrest immediately."

There is no need to urge those people inside, I will come back tomorrow morning to verify the identity and completely close the case. ”

After giving the order, Shu Liang returned to the East Factory.

In the evening, Zhu Qiyu finally returned home.

As soon as they entered the Qingliang Palace, the five concubines knelt on the ground in a proper manner, and shouted in unison: "The slave and maid welcome the great son back to the palace." ”

Zhu Qiyu said with a smile: "Get up, now I have finally become a real tomorrow." ”

Lin Xiangyu got up and said with a smile while changing Zhu Qiyu's clothes: "After that, will the Great Tomorrow Son Holy Saint no longer be able to kneel and lick the slave family?" ”

Zhu Qiyu stroked the beauty's hair dotingly: "That can't, you have to stay true to your original intention." Besides, whether it is the two saints standing side by side or being self-respecting, the widow will not be lost by power.

In the final analysis, I still prefer to be a free-spirited Jade Daojun.

The biggest selfish interest I have sought with imperial power is to monopolize the entire Yuquan Mountain. ”

When Qianxue heard this, she asked: "The building boat in Kunming Lake has been built, when will the husband accompany us to the lake to enjoy the lotus flowers." ”

Zhu Qiyu nodded: "Yes, no problem." When all these people in the capital are dealt with, let's go.

Tomorrow, let the prince write a book and invite himself to Nanjing to serve King Yi.

Then I asked the ministers who were willing to be princely subordinate officials to sign up for themselves. I want to clear up a few hundred ministers to go to Nanjing, so that Beijing will be completely deprived of the opposition. ”

Qianxue asked curiously: "Those who are loyal to Xuanmiao, King Yi, and the crown prince don't have hundreds of people together, right?" ”

"It doesn't matter, in the past four years, I have remembered all the people who have disobeyed me. Send them all away, the next reforms will be too difficult, and I will establish the supremacy of the emperor.

Otherwise, everyone will come to raise the bar with me, how can I reform it, how can I change the law?

In addition, the Ministry of Rites immediately conveyed the news of Emperor Gongrang's deposition to the vassal kings and local officials, and then ordered them to submit a letter to express their position.

Forget about those who support it, and if you don't support it, especially the vassal king, then kill it quickly. ”

By the next morning, when Liu Dingzhi and others arrived at Ciqing Palace, the crown prince's request to go to Nanjing to serve King Yi had already been sent to the cabinet.

The crown prince will not be on such a book, and Liu Dingzhi and others will not be on such a book for the crown prince, but they will become the imperial concubine, and as the raiser of the crown prince, they are very tough and resolute.

By the time Liu Dingzhi and the others found out, it was already too late.

It was only after noon that the cabinet received the emperor's approval: 'The crown prince's filial piety is commendable, and he is allowed to do what he wants.

The crown prince can choose any palace as a residence in the Nanjing Imperial Palace, and the imperial concubine will be renamed the concubine of King Yi, and all the etiquette treatment will be the same as the imperial concubine, and she will be fully responsible for the upbringing and upbringing of the crown prince.

The subordinate officials of the East Palace, all of whom went to Nanjing with the crown prince.

Officials in Beijing, who are willing to follow the crown prince, can register at the Ministry of Officials on their own. The imperial court transferred him to Nanjing. ’

If the emperor doesn't make a move, once he does, it will be a thunderbolt, since he has already torn his face, then he will be quick and cut off the troubles.

Just three days later, on the morning of June 21, Princess Yi left Beijing with the crown prince.

The group of people was mighty, just the treasures of Chonghua Palace and Ciqing Palace, plus the gold, silver and jewelry sent by the Qi Palace, were enough to load hundreds of carts.

Forty or fifty of the most loyal prince's subordinates left Beijing together.

In the next few days, more than 300 officials who were "active" and willing to follow the crown prince were "gifted" out of Beijing one after another.

On the first day of July, the turmoil finally ended as the official adjustment was completed.

Beijing City has finally become the Beijing City of Jingtai Emperor's loyalty.
