I am the king of the dead

Chapter 39
The six ministers sat around the long table, whispering in a low voice, discussing what to do.

"Yu Shangshu, I have asked Lu Zhong to put the fourteen members of the Fengyang Poetry Society in the prison, and let the people of the Wucheng Soldiers and Horses be responsible for confiscating this article. He will enter the Great Ming capital from Zijingguan Pass."

"Scholar Chen Xun thinks it's better to pretend that this editorial has never appeared." Zhu Qiyu said loudly, "The emperor's decree was coerced by the Wataru people and it is not true. What do you think?"

Xu Youzhen shivered a few times, then immediately bowed her head and said, "It's not true, it must have been written by the emperor under duress. This minister... thinks that it is still the right to refute it, so it's better to refute it."

Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes, nodded and asked, "Oh, does Xu Yushi mean to let the Sixth Division give the Bank of China the right to refute?"

"Let the emperor's decree be seen by the six subjects, let the court civil and military know it, and let the people all over the world discuss this matter in the streets and alleys?"

"My emperor of Daming, let Daming measure the breadth of China, give it to the Western captives, and cede Datong and Xuanfu."

"Are you planning to welcome back the emperor, and let the emperor be scolded in the spine, so embarrassed and angry?"

"I dare not!" Xu Youzhen shuddered and knelt on the ground.

Closing and refuting matters is the power given by the six subjects in the matter. Xu Youzhen's meaning is to let the emperor's edict continue to go through the process, until it is stuck in the six subjects' refusal.

Zhu Qiyu meant that it was directly stuck in their hands, when what Zhu Qizhen said was nonsense.

In fact, there is still a debate about the right to speak.

How could Zhu Qiyu tolerate Zhu Qizhen's edict and still be effective in Daming?

Xu Youzhen's words were the last resistance, but unfortunately, all his resistance was based on maintaining Zhu Qizhen's imperial power.

However, what Zhu Qizhen has done has left the world alone.

No matter how much Xu Youzhen can save, he can't stop his master from going to Zhu Qizhen and destroying his own foundation bit by bit.

"Your Majesty, Guangning Bo Liu An, what should be done?" Yu Qian talked about Liu An, the commander-in-chief of Datong, who personally sent Zhu Qizhen an edict.

The Minister of Rites, Hu Xun, immediately said: "Your Majesty, Liu An of Guangning has left the important town without any tact, and it is difficult to save the Bang family.

Wang Zhi, the minister of officials, looked at the article and seemed to be full of indignation, but he didn't pay attention to Liu An's affairs.

"Your Majesty, Liu An is the chief officer of Datong and the commander of a township. He leaves the city-state to the outside of the city without permission, flatters thieves, loses the dignity of Daming, and humiliates Daming's face. The minister thinks that he should be executed!" shout.

"Your Majesty, escape from the battle. If you don't punish it, I'm afraid the military will be in turmoil. Please make a decision early!"

"Your Majesty, this person has never been self-involved. It is all due to the kindness of his ancestor Liu Rong, who dares to enter the dynasty without an announcement! If you don't kill him, it will be a warning, and it will be too late to make a big disaster."

"Your Majesty, this minister thinks that death should be regarded as escaping from battle."

……

Several senior scholars also expressed their positions, and Chen Xun said with a complicated expression: "Please, Your Majesty, make a decision early."

"Please, Your Majesty, make a decision early."

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Lu Zhong, bring Liu An to the imperial prison and imprison him temporarily, until the Dali Temple Minister, the Supreme Court and the Ministry of Punishment have agreed on the charges and then dealt with them."

"Yu Shangshu stay for a while, let's go back to Wenyuan Pavilion and all the yamen." Zhu Qiyu waved lazily.

Yu Qian just stood up and had to sit down again.

"Yu Shangshu, should Liu An die?" Zhu Qiyu turned the teacup in his hand and asked thoughtfully.

From Zhu Qiyu's point of view, Liu An put down the hanging basket from the Datong city wall, went out of the city to deliver gold and silver to the Wata people, and asked to see Zhu Qizhen. After he didn't see it, he burst into tears.

But this one is damn good.

But he instinctively felt that this matter was not so simple.

Liu An was named a marquis in Zhu Qizhen's edict. If he really craved the honor of this marquis, he should be in Datong at this time, not in the capital.

The ability to raise bandits with self-respect is a skill that must be mastered by all generals in this era.

The same is true for Liu An. If he really intends to add a marquis, he should stay in Datong Mansion.

Spread the edict all over the world, let the eunuchs know it, and let the eunuchs bring the edict back.

rather than sending it back in person.

How dangerous is this trip, Liu An is so old, can he not know?Why should sheep enter the tiger's mouth?

A general who has lost his army is like a tiger who has lost its fangs and claws. Does Liu An really think that with the edict of the Supreme Emperor, he can get the marquis's reward from the court?

Especially after Zhu Qiyu met Liu An, he felt that Liu An was not such a stupid person.

Liu An is more like taking the blame and asking for guilt, not for the honor of the Marquis.

So he planned to ask Yu Qian.

Of course Yu Qian saw Zhu Qiyu's hesitation, he thought for a long time before saying: "Your Majesty, now is the time to hire people, although Liu An left his post without permission, he also ordered Guo Deng to take the post of chief military officer and control all military power. Hand it over to Guo Deng."

"The most urgent task now is for the imperial court to order the official appointment of Guo Deng to hang the seal of the general in front of the west and serve as the chief military officer of Datong to prevent the disaster from recurring."

Zhu Qiyu thought about it seriously, the acting commander and the former general of the expedition appointed by the imperial court, the Datong commander, is indeed necessary for his work to be rectified.

Zhu Qiyu nodded and said, "Okay, Cheng Jing, you have ordered the supervisor of ceremonies to prepare an edict and send it to Datong Mansion quickly."

Although Guo Deng was entrusted by Liu An, he was still a deputy chief of staff.

Yu Qian continued: "If you say that you are beheading a general, the minister also thinks it is a bit inappropriate."

"Your Majesty, Liu An's lineage is the third son of Guangning Bo Liu Rong. The name of Liu Rong's loyalty and martial arts is famous all over the world. If this knife goes down, I am afraid that the soldiers all over the world will be frightened."

Zhu Qiyu took the meaning of Yu Qian seriously, Liu An's military power was handed over, and for the generals, it would lose the biggest support and the biggest umbrella.

Yu Qian's words confirmed Zhu Qiyu's thoughts before.

Liu An sent the imperial edict to Beijing, not for the honor of the marquis at all.

Killing a general in front of a battle is a big taboo in the military family. Although it is not a defensive zone, because your old Zhu family brothers are fighting against the wall, killing a general who is guarding the border for the country will always have some thoughts in their hearts.

Liu An was the third son of Liu Rong. Liu Rong was a good warrior in the years of Hongwu, Jianwen and Yongle.

Loyalty, Wen, Wu, Zheng, these are the best posthumous titles.

Liu An represented Xunqi, and at this time, slashing at Xunqi was indeed a stupid thing for relatives to hurt their enemies.

Zhu Qiyu made up his mind and asked in a low voice, "Since Liu An is here, why not let him guard Dongzhimen?"

"Yu Shangshu said a few days ago that there are not enough manpower, so I have to transfer Fan Guang back from Liaodong."

Yu Qian breathed a long sigh of relief, and then said after a long bow, "The minister leads the order."

After Yu Qian left, Zhu Qiyu had been thinking about one thing, why did the courtiers kill Liu An?

What he can understand, do the courtiers understand?
Do not!
They understand everything!

Zhu Qiyu immediately had a flash of inspiration, stood up and said, "Xing'an, go to the prison, I want to see Liu An."

The reason why Liu An deserved to die is because Liu An disarmed his military power and ran to the capital!

This is not to maintain Zhu Qizhen, but Liu An has been completely disappointed in Zhu Qizhen!
After Zhu Qiyu wanted to understand this, he decided to meet Liu An when he decided it was necessary to win over Liu An.

What is the true meaning of struggle?
The teacher once said that to find out who is the enemy and who is the friend, make few enemies and make many friends.

Zhu Qiyu came to the prison and saw Liu An who had woken up.

Zhu Qiyu looked at Liu An, who was still calm, and asked with a smile, "Have you come here on a fast horse from Datong Mansion, have you already thought of living in this prison?"
