Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Amidst the warm cheers of the people, the army entered the Beijing camp. Qi Jiguang and other generals immediately took a shower and changed clothes, and rushed to Fengtianmen to court without stopping.

The Fengtian Sect of the Ming Dynasty was full of people. Not only were there civil and military officials from the Manchu Dynasty, but also three hundred candidates for the imperial examination. Today is bound to be a big event.

Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian, accompanied by Ah Qingqinglong Cao Zhengchun Yuhuatian, slowly stepped into Fengtian Gate.

He sat down on the dragon chair, Ah Qing stood behind him, Yuhuatian Cao Zhengchun stood on both sides, and the eunuch standing in front of him on the right.

This was the first time that Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty had brought three bodyguards to the court since he ascended the throne. The emperor was not angry at first, so all the officials suddenly felt shuddering.

As soon as Zhu Youjian sat down on the dragon chair, the officials immediately stepped forward to bow down:

"See Your Majesty."

Zhu Youjian said with a smile:

"All my dear ones are free from courtesy!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live my emperor, long live, long live!"

After the officials were divided into two classes, Zhu Youjian took a look at his civil and military ministers.

Wenban is headed by the six ministers of the cabinet and nine ministers, and the generals are Qi Jiguang, Li Cunxiao, Yan Yingyuan, Li Dingguo, Huang Degong, and even Sun Chuanting are among the generals.

Zhu Youjian couldn't help sighing secretly:

"Da Ming civil servants and military generals have finally gathered together, look at these talents and pillars, who in the world would dare to provoke Daming!"

Glancing at the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Zhu Youjian spoke slowly. He has played the role of the emperor so well. Although his voice is not loud, he is very majestic.

"Three hundred people, I personally interviewed you today, and from now on you will be disciples of the Son of Heaven. I hope you will not disappoint my expectations. No matter what happens, you must be loyal to Daming!"

All three hundred people knelt down on the main hall, weeping with gratitude.

Being able to become disciples of the Son of Heaven is a blessing from their ancestors and cultivated in several lifetimes, which is enough for them to boast for a lifetime.

The disciples immediately expressed their loyalty:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, I will definitely live up to your expectations. I am willing to be loyal to Da Ming, and I am willing to die for Da Ming. If anyone dares to betray Da Ming, I will drink his blood and eat his flesh..."

What Zhu Youjian wants is their loyalty, whether it is true or not will be known immediately.

He laughed loudly:

"Hahaha, okay, come here, bring the prisoner here!"

Chapter 309 Trial of Kong Yinzhi

"Take the prisoner? Did we hear correctly?"

Zhu Youjian's words not only confused the three hundred people, but also puzzled the civil and military officials of the whole court.

Isn't today the day of the imperial examination?What do you do with the prisoner?

How could they know that the purpose of Zhu Youjian's imperial examination reform was to target those corrupt Confucians.

The corruption of the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty, even though there is a relationship between the emperor and the system, the struggle between factions is the root.

The Donglin Party and the civil servant group control the government, but they do nothing to the country and the people, and they are all seeking their own interests.

Zhu Youjian personally tested three hundred candidates in order to thoroughly rectify these corrupt Confucians.

Soon a group of people were brought to the Hall of Supreme Harmony by Jin Yiwei, and they knelt down in the hall after going up to the hall.

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty focused their attention on them, and many ministers found a problem.

Many of these people have similar faces, as if they belong to the same family.

Full of doubts, they once again looked at Zhu Youjian, Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty.

Suddenly the servant of the Ministry of Rites exclaimed:

"My God, isn't this the Great Ming Yan Sheng Gong Kong Yinzhi? How could he kneel here..."

"What? Yan Shenggong Kong Yinzhi is actually here. Could it be that these people are all from the Kong family? This... is impossible!"

"Impossible, the servant of the Ministry of Rites must have identified the wrong person. How could the Holy Majesty arrest Kong's family? They are gods in the hearts of literati..."

The civil servants, civil and military, immediately talked about it, and even the three hundred people stared wide-eyed in surprise.

They didn't know Kong Yinzhi, and they thought those people were the Kong family. Given the status of the Kong family in their hearts, they took it for granted that it was impossible for the emperor to punish the Kong family.

What they want to know most now is what it means for the emperor to let these people go to the palace during the palace examination!

Zhu Youjian looked at the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty coldly, except for the two insiders, Sun Chengzong and Fan Jingwen.

Everyone else was stupefied, including Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting.

The only difference between them and those civil servants is that although Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting were very confused, they did not speak.

As a loyal fan of Zhu Youjian, even if Zhu Youjian killed the emperor, Qi Jiguang and Sun Chuanting would not object.

Zhu Youjian did not go to appreciate the performances of the civil servants, but said to those juren:

"Yes, they are members of the Confucius family in Qufu. They are a group of shameless people who betray the country and seek glory and oppress the people. Now I hope you can do what you say and kill Kong Yinzhi with your own hands. Come and bring a knife!"

"According to the purpose"

Before Zhu Youjian finished speaking, the little eunuch walked to Kong Yinzhi with a tray.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me..."

Kong Yinzhi was so frightened that he almost fainted and burst into tears.

With disgust on his face, Zhu Youjian waved at Cao Zhengchun:

"Tie your hands and feet, gag your mouth, it's too noisy!"

"According to the purpose"

Cao Zhengchun stepped up to Kong Yinzhi's side, and tied Kong Yinzhi tightly.

Kong Yinzhi was still begging for mercy, but Cao Zhengchun gagged him again.

"Your majesty... this... how to do this..."

After hearing that it was really Kong Yinzhi and Kong's family who were arrested, the entire civil official group and the three hundred people were shocked, they felt it was incredible.

Now the emperor asked them to kill the gods in the hearts of scholars with their own hands, and the three hundred people almost fainted to death.
