Back to the Ming Dynasty to be a tyrant

Listening to Zhou Yanru's sudden revelation of so much inside information, Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng, and Cao Huachun were intimidated and looked at each other in blank dismay.Although it was almost winter, the three of them were covered in cold sweat.

After a final discussion, the three decided to enter the palace together and hand over Zhou Yanru's confession to Emperor Chongzhen without changing it.

Chapter 49 Killing Intent

Chongzhen, who was rewarded by the three of Xu Xianchun, felt stupid and naive.

Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud is not enough to describe the current situation. This is simply pulling out the radish and bringing out a sinkhole.

What has been revealed so far is just the tip of the iceberg on the big network of interests, right?

What should I do myself?

Originally thought that the factory guards were reused, and under the high pressure of surveillance, Chaotang would not be like a lolita and let himself be posed in the pose he likes?

Now it seems that I am still too young. Look at these people on the list, the cabinet minister Zhou Yanru, the former cabinet minister Ye Xianggao, the military minister Hou Xun, the former Ritual Fu Ying Qian Yiqian, and even Jin Yiwei Zuo Dadu Luo Yangxing, as well as some low-level eunuchs and maids in the palace were also implicated.

Since you can't figure it out, just don't think about it.Gritting his teeth fiercely, Emperor Chongzhen made a decision very simply - since I have factories, guards, common people and soldiers returning to my heart, you scumbags just let me die!Kill him with his head rolling, blood flowing like a river, I see if these scumbags dare to jump!

After Wei Zhongxian also came to report the results of the examination of the palace guards and eunuchs, the furious Emperor Chongzhen happily ordered: "Wang Chengen, draw up an imperial edict.

Zhou Yanru, a cabinet assistant, had an affair with the palace ban, conspired to rebel, and wore Jin Yiwei Ling Chi.The nine clans will be exterminated as one!

Hou Xun, the servant of the Ministry of War, sent people to assassinate the emperor. He was accomplices in rebellion. He wore Jinyi and guarded Ling Chi, and the nine clans were all exterminated!

Luo Yangxing, the left governor of Jinyiwei, secretly communicated outside the palace with the intention of rebelling against him. With Jinyiwei Lingchi, the nine clans will be exterminated!

The Imperial Physician Chen Renzhong of the imperial hospital conspired to poison the emperor, dressed in Jin Yiwei Ling Chi, and killed all the nine clans.

Qian Yiqian, the former minister of the Ministry of Rites, secretly colluded with many officials with the intention of rebelling against him. Under the command of Jin Yiwei Ling Chi, the nine clans were exterminated as a whole.

Ye Xianggao, a former minister of the cabinet, retired from his old age and returned to his hometown, but he still secretly communicated with the cabinet ministers and conspired against him.Even though he was dead, he broke graves, flogged corpses, and scattered ashes.The nine clans will be exterminated as one!

Wang, the supervisor of the Guozijian, assassinated the emperor, the crime is unforgivable, the barbarians!

In addition, the martial law in the capital was lifted, and the guards at the city gates were handed over to the five city soldiers and horses to take over, and they patrolled the capital with the Jinyiwei Tian Ergeng Department to maintain the stability of the capital.The Beijing camp immediately returns to the garrison, and the place must not be surprised, and those who violate it will be cut off!

According to the edict, Zhang Weixian, the British public, was loyal to state affairs, added the crown prince and Taifu, and ordered him to rectify the Beijing camp.

According to the imperial edict, Jinyiwei was split into three parts, one was the original palace guards, honor guards and other duties, Jin Wei Liangqing was the admiral of Jinyiwei, and the admiral supervised the department.

The second department supervises all officials and vassal kings, and Xu Xianchun is the admiral of the department.

The third department supervises the people's livelihood all over the world, abolishes the right to arrest and torture, and appoints Tian Ergeng to supervise the department.

In addition, the East Jiji Factory no longer supervises all officials and other posts, and is only responsible for supervising duties other than Daming, and is supervised by Cao Huachun, the eunuch of the Rites.

The West Detective Factory secretly investigated the illegal activities of Jinyiwei and Dongchang, and abolished their right to arrest and torture them, and they were not allowed to act in private without an order.Admiral Wei Zhongxian, the supervisor of ceremonies. "

A series of edicts came down, or they would kill even the nine clans.It was so angry that it was either splitting up the factory guards to strengthen or weaken the functions, so that people couldn't figure out what the emperor wanted to do.

But for Chongzhen, since he has decided to target the disobedient, he might as well do all these bullshit things together!In the future, the responsibilities of each yamen will be clarified, and if there is something to do, it will be necessary to directly investigate the person in charge.

It's just that Chongzhen's edict had just been finished, and Empress Zhou, who came back from the harem to look down on Chongzhen, was secretly anxious, and said to Wei Zhongxian and the others: "You go down first, I have something to say to the emperor. I will call you in later. .”

Seeing this, Wang Chengen, Wei Zhongxian and others all bowed their heads and backed out of the door, staying far away to ensure that they could not hear the voice inside the door.

Seeing that several people had retreated, Chongzhen said to Empress Zhou: "What does the Empress want to tell me?"

Empress Zhou knelt down on the ground, and said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, all my concubines have heard your order today. I want to ask Your Majesty to take back your order and postpone the action."

Chongzhen walked over and pulled Queen Zhou up, but said: "No way. This matter must not be delayed."

When Empress Zhou heard the words, she said to Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, the courtiers and concubines should not intervene in this matter, and the courtiers also know the ancestral precept that the harem should not interfere in politics.

Just killing so many people at once, wouldn't the subjects of the world regard His Majesty as a gang of Jie and Zhou?What if the world is in turmoil?Your Majesty, why don't you take it easy, first punish the chief culprit, and then ask others? "

After Chongzhen heard the words, he knew that Empress Zhou was worried about him, so he thought about it, why should he not be involved in politics in the harem?I am not the genuine hapless Chongzhen.

Chongzhen then said to Empress Zhou: "Empress, don't think too much. These people secretly peeped at the palace. They first poisoned the emperor, and now they poisoned me. If they are not excluded, I don't know how many people will follow this generation.

These people can't do anything except talk loudly and play tricks behind their backs.

As Emperor Taizong of the former Tang Dynasty said, the king is a boat, and the people are water.Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it.

I have the hearts and minds of the people and the army in my hands, this generation is like a mouse in the dark, why should I be afraid?

As for the evaluation of future generations, if Daming is destroyed by people like them, you and I, husband and wife, will be King Zhou Daji.If the Ming Dynasty stretches, I will naturally be a generation of Mingjun, and the queen will also be a generation of worthy queens. "

When Queen Zhou heard the words, she knew that Chongzhen's mind had been made up, and seeing that Chongzhen was confident, she stopped admonishing him, greeted Chongzhen's body, and went back first.

Chongzhenfu also called Wei Zhongxian and others to come in, and ordered Wang Chengen to draw up an order according to the strategy set just now, and use the seal.

A series of imperial decrees were sent out from the palace, and the capital was full of wind and rain.

Cabinet minister Zhou Yanru had already been ordered to jail, and then no one thought that Luo Yangxing, the governor of Jinyiwei, and his family, and Hou Xun, the servant of the Ministry of War, were all arrested and sent to prison.

Immediately after, Wang, a student of the Imperial College, entered the Imperial Prison together with his classmates and teachers.Since the relatives of Wang Sheng's nine clans are out of town, Jin Yiwei has already sent people to lock them up.

Former cabinet minister Ye Xianggao and former Minister of Rites Qian Yiqian's nine clans also went to lock them up.The worst thing was Ye Xianggao, even if he had already died, he would have his corpse opened up and his bones rasped to ashes.

As for the merchants in the capital city, they are like frightened birds. More than a dozen wealthy merchants have already been captured by Jinyiwei, and the rest are all scared and honestly staying at home or in the inn, even if they go out to inquire about news. dare.Even the business in Fireworks and Willow Lane seems to have slumped overnight, and there is no coquettishness and elegance of drinking and having fun among officials and literati on weekdays.

Who among the people living in Forty-Nine City is an idiot?Even the green skins on the street hid at home one after another.Overnight, the entire capital seemed to have become a ghost town.

Chapter 50 Reversal

After the night passed, the courtiers found out that Zhou Yanru, the old cabinet minister, Hou Xun, the servant of the Ministry of war, and the governor of Jinyiwei were all gone when they went to court the next day.

Only then did Baiguan realize that the turmoil yesterday was probably because of these few people.What the courtiers couldn't figure out was that Luo Yangxing was an old man in Chongzhen's hidden residence. Although he had been used as a human-shaped background wall on the platform in recent months, how could he be arrested?

At the court meeting, after the ministers had finished seeing the ceremony, Chongzhen did not wait for the ministers to report, and said directly: "What happened yesterday was that someone had a private relationship with the palace and tried to assassinate. Now the mastermind and accomplices have all been sent to prison."

After Chongzhen's voice fell, the expected buzzing scene did not come, instead it was dead silent, and all the officials looked at Chongzhen with questioning eyes.

To put it bluntly, since Chongzhen's assassination happened outside Donghua Gate, one day is enough to spread throughout the capital.If the city gate hadn't been blocked before the incident, it is estimated that it would have spread to Tianjin Wei by now.

Chongzhen looked at the ministers below, feeling deeply moved.Look, it's these people, all the sanctimonious beasts in clothes, a huge empire that had no rivals in the world at that time, let this group of people forcefully destroy the country!Since then, Shenzhou Lu Shen has failed to return to the position of the world's number one empire for hundreds of years.

Chongzhen, who hated these honest gentlemen more and more in his heart, simply said: "Wang Chengen, let's announce the edict."

After Wang Chengen took out the imperial decree and read it out, the courtiers under the imperial steps were all stunned as if they had been hit on the head with a sledgehammer.

A series of names, Ge Lao, Jin Yiwei Dudu, Military Minister, a series of Ling Chi, and a series of family raids, finally let the court officials clearly understand that the man sitting on the dragon chair in the hall is the current emperor. , instead of being the King of Xin who let them fool around.

When Wang Cheng'en read it: "Wang, the son of the Imperial College, publicly assassinated him in broad daylight. There is no pardon for the crime. The guards in Jinyi killed the student, and the barbarian clan. I think the latecomers are admonished."

When all the officials in the court heard this, they discussed one after another, and immediately a censor came out of the class and knelt down and said: "Your Majesty Qi Zuo, except for the ten clans of Confucianism who were punished by Emperor Chengzu, there has never been a ten clan of barbarians since ancient times. It’s too late, I ask you to punish the Nine Clans instead.”
