Chapter 60 Daming Martyr's Shrine

Fan Zhong raised the knife and dropped it, another head fell to the ground.

Shi Heng was beating Xu Yu violently, when he saw his nephew's head fell to the ground, he couldn't help but collapsed on the ground, his face turned from white to green, and then from green to black, almost oozing ink.

At this point in the matter, Zhu Qiyu finally understood.

He was just young and frivolous, not stupid.

These people seem to have done other things besides supporting their own country.

Zhu Qizhen looked at Shi Heng, with a playful expression on his face, and said: "Shi Heng, it's your turn, if you have anything to say, hurry up!"

At this time, Shi Heng was full of frustration, sighed heavily, and said: "That's all, time is fate, the guilty minister has nothing to say, if you want to kill or cut, you can listen to it!"

Zhu Qizhen asked back: "Seeing what you mean, are you still not convinced?"

Shi Heng shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty is right. At the beginning, the criminal minister hurriedly withdrew from Datong, which caused Wala to break through Datong in advance. The criminal minister confessed! The emperor personally led [-] battalions into the desert and went straight to Huanglong. The criminal minister admired it from the bottom of his heart. , and now it is in the hands of the emperor, the guilty subject is convinced, and I only hope that the emperor can give me a good time!"

Zhu Qizhen was happy instead, and said: "You still look like a man, if you didn't commit the crime of treason, I really wouldn't be willing to kill you."

"Put your head out and draw a knife, and retract your head is also a knife. The guilty minister knows that his crime is unforgivable, and the matter has come to this point, there is nothing to say!"

At this time, Xu Yu, who was beaten up with a bruised nose and swollen face, knelt down in front of Zhu Qizhen, crying, "Don't be deceived by this man, your majesty, uncle and nephew Shi Heng are also one of the masterminds of the treason, I implore the emperor to punish you!" Kill this thief!"

"Pooh!"

Shi Heng spat thick phlegm on his face, and said angrily: "Today, I will die when I die, and you, a repeating villain, will not survive!"

After all, there was another violent beating when he rushed forward. Xu Yu was beaten repeatedly and begged for mercy, but no one paid attention.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear it any longer, stepped forward and said, "Brother Huang, what's going on?"

Zhu Qizhen ordered Fan Zhong to take out the stack of letters, Zhu Qiyu looked at it twice, his face turned pale and he was at a loss.

Even though he had already made a good guess, now that he saw these letters with his own eyes, he still couldn't help but feel chills all over his body, and immediately fell to his knees.

"Chendi... ten thousand deaths!"

Zhu Qizhen put away his smile and said: "I called you here alone, and I want to talk to you. During my brother's supervision of the country, such a big thing happened. Is there any responsibility for negligence?"

"My brother knows his mistake, please punish him!"

"Forget it!" Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "Your experience is still inexperienced, and what happened today is a lesson. I will tell all the officials that it was you who discovered the conspiracy of these people and then reported it to me. In this way, your achievements in supervising the country will not be obliterated."

Zhu Qiyu was covered in cold sweat, panicked and excited at the same time, speechless for a while.

On the other side, Xu Zhen was covered in blood and had already lost his breath.

Shi Heng finally breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Your Majesty, send the guilty minister on his way!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, hesitated for a moment, then put it down again.

"Go back first!"

Fan Zhong stepped forward to take Shi Heng away, tied him with a rope, and took him to the rear of the team.

Zhu Qizhen took Zhu Qiyu's hand and said, "Follow me into the city!"

Outside the Anding Gate, the officials had been waiting for a long time, not knowing what happened ahead.

Hu Wei is 75 years old, three years older than Zhang Fu, and his legs are numb from kneeling.

He wanted to move around, but then he thought about it, as the Minister of Rites, he had to lead by example at such an important moment, so he had to hold back and not move.

However, the emperor did not move for a long time, and he didn't know when he would have to wait.

Glancing around, seeing Yu Qian behind him, he asked, "Yu Qian, what's going on?"

Yu Qian was startled, and said blankly, "How would I know?"

Hu Yi sighed, shook his head and said, "Forget it, it's useless to ask you."

Yu Qian was in a hurry, and retorted: "Master Hu, please speak clearly, what do you mean by asking me, is it for nothing?"

"It's fine if you don't want to say it, the old man doesn't ask."

Yu Qian is going crazy, what does it have to do with me?Are all the pots put on my head?
Hu Yan said to himself again: "The emperor will not be against His Royal Highness King Yan... hey..."

"Stop talking!" Zhang Fu waved his hand to stop him, "The emperor is here!"

Finally, Zhu Qizhen took Zhu Qiyu to the front of the officials.

The officials immediately shouted long live, demonstrating the emperor's contribution to the conquest.

"My gentlemen, please stand up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen looked around and said, "Since all of you are here, I have something to say here!"

The officials once again looked at each other in blank dismay. Logically speaking, they should advance to the city at this time. Everyone has been waiting for you for so long. Do you have anything to say when you go back?

Hu Wei took a step forward with his already numb legs, and said, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager are still waiting in the palace, how about..."

"It's okay, just a few words!"

Zhu Qizhen waved his hand, and Hu Wei had no choice but to back down.

"I'm not here during this period of time. The king and all the nobles have worked together to manage the affairs of the court in an orderly manner. I am very pleased!"

After hearing this, the faces of all the ministers eased. It seems that the brothers turned against each other did not happen.

Since ancient times, being with a monarch is like accompanying a tiger, especially when the emperor cares most about the government and power, one must be extremely careful.

"King Yan is still young, and he has little experience in supervising the country for the first time. It is understandable that some things are not handled properly. However, your family has the backbone of the court and the pillars of the country. Why do you just watch the rebellion in the capital? Didn't you notice it?"

As soon as this remark came out, the officials were in an uproar, and they all knelt down on the ground, shouting long live.

Hu Wei looked blankly and said: "The old minister is dull, please make it clear to the emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen took out a stack of letters and threw them on the ground.

Hu Yi picked it up and looked at it twice, his face turned pale with fright, he lowered his head and stopped talking.

Zhu Qizhen glanced around, saw Yu Qian behind Hu Wei, and said, "Yu Qian, what did I say in the original edict? Now that there is a major treason case, what do you do?"

Yu Qian was stunned, what's the matter?
What does it have to do with me, I don't even know what happened...

He wanted to get the letter to read, but he couldn't reach it, and he didn't dare to move it, so he could only say: "I will die!"

Zhu Qizhen said bluntly: "Come and get it if you want to see it!"

"Yes!"

Yu Qian bowed and picked up the letter, the more he read it, the more frightened he became.

"Your Majesty, I have the guts to ask, is it possible to convict someone based on these letters alone?"

"It's quite rigorous!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded, and waved his hands behind him, Fan Zhong understood, and ordered Shi Heng, Chahantai, and Feng Yi to be escorted forward.

"Need I introduce you?"

Although Yu Qian didn't know Chahantai and Feng Yi, but he knew Shi Heng, and when he saw the expression on each other's face, he knew it in his heart.

"Your majesty is right. It is the ministers who neglected to observe and are willing to be punished!"

Zhu Qizhen raised his head, his face became extremely stern, and he said sharply: "If it wasn't for the thoughtfulness of the king who saw through the conspiracy of these people, I'm afraid that today, the Qing family would not come to meet you, but to collect the corpse for me!"

All the ministers kept silent, and Zhu Qiyu was even more ashamed, not knowing what to do.

Zhu Qizhen continued: "As for the treason case of Cao Jixiang and others, it will be thoroughly investigated by Jin Yiwei. The main culprit, Zhu Jiuzu, and all relevant people will be strictly investigated! Jin Yiwei commander Ma Shun is involved in the case. From today, Jin Yiwei will hand over Yuan Bin is in charge."

Yuan Bin immediately knelt down on one knee and saluted, "I obey the order!"

Zhu Qizhen looked around and continued: "Huailai guards Kangneng, abandoning the city first and fleeing first, killing the good and taking the meritorious service later, Yu Qian, this person is under the supervision of the Ministry of War, and you will lead the case. The chief criminal will punish the nine clans, the accessory criminals will be executed, and the family members will be exiled!"

Yu Qian didn't have time to think, so he hurriedly saluted and said: "I obey the order!"

"Also, there is someone collaborating with the enemy at Huangya Pass, and I will hand it over to you. Let's figure it out!"

Yu Qian felt that his brain was not enough, why did another one pop up...

"The minister obeys the order!"

After explaining these things, Zhu Qizhen's face softened a little, and now there is one most important thing to say.

"My Royal Conquest, although I repelled the Oirats' invading enemies, due to improper command in the early stage, hundreds of thousands of horses were lost. The soldiers fought bloody battles, but they died without hesitation. This is my negligence of duty!"

"Therefore, I decided to build a martyr's shrine to enshrine the soldiers who died fighting for the Ming Dynasty. From now on, all those who died fighting for the country will enter the shrine to enjoy the incense of the Ming Dynasty!"
