Daming: After self-explosive time travel, Lao Zhu's mentality collapsed

The capital city was within sight, and Chu Ze led his iron-blooded army into the outskirts of the capital city.

On both sides of the street, people came out to greet them and lined the streets to see them off.

Although the situation in the capital was turbulent, the people were full of trust and awe for this iron-blooded emperor.

At this moment, Lin Ye arrived on a fast horse, looking nervous, and said with a folded hand: "Your Majesty, a secret report has come from the capital that Liu Zhen and several other powerful officials are secretly mobilizing troops and seem to be planning to launch a rebellion. I am worried that the situation has reached a critical juncture!"

Chu Ze's eyes flashed coldly, and he sneered, "Sure enough, they can't wait any longer.

I knew that these powerful officials would not give up easily. Since they dare to take action, I will give them a head-on blow! "

He waved his hand and ordered: "Lin Ye, immediately lead the iron-blooded elite to secretly enter the city and be on standby at any time.

I will personally enter the palace and act accordingly!"

Lin Ye immediately clasped his fists and said, "I obey your command! The Iron Blood Army will be ready to obey your majesty's orders at any time!"

Chu Ze's eyes were cold, and he spurred his horse and led the Iron Blood Army into two groups, heading straight for the capital.

The storm in the city is about to rise.

That evening, Chu Ze returned to Beijing.

The atmosphere in the capital became more tense than ever before. There was a solemn atmosphere inside and outside the palace. In the court where undercurrents were surging, the ministers began to secretly weigh the prospects for the upcoming storm.

The moment Chu Ze returned to the palace and entered the Forbidden City, the atmosphere in the capital suddenly changed.

That was the momentum of imperial power, like a huge iron curtain, suffocating those powerful officials with ulterior motives.

Sitting on the dragon throne, Chu Ze looked at the ministers with cold eyes.

He waved his hand gently and ordered the eunuch to announce the decree: "Liu Zhen, Yang Tianxiong, Zhou and others have colluded with foreign enemies and are planning a rebellion. I hereby order them to be arrested immediately and put in jail to await trial!"

A single stone caused a thousand ripples, and the court was instantly in uproar.

The faces of those powerful officials changed drastically, and some even fell to the ground, shaking all over.

"Your Majesty, this..." Someone wanted to speak to defend himself, but under Chu Ze's sharp gaze, his voice was immediately choked and he dared not speak anymore.

"Liu Zhen!" Chu Ze said coldly, his voice echoing in the hall like thunder: "How dare you collude with foreign enemies and mobilize private soldiers to intercept me? You are so bold and reckless, intending to rebel, you know what kind of crime this is!"

Liu Zhen had already knelt on the ground at this moment, his face was pale, cold sweat on his forehead, and his hands were shaking.

Although he held a high position, he could not hide the fear in his heart when facing Chu Ze's pressure.

He said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I have absolutely no intention of treason! Yang Tianxiong mobilized troops without authorization, and I was not aware of it! Please investigate clearly, Your Majesty!"

Chu Ze smiled coldly, his eyes filled with endless chill, "Don't you know? I have long known that you have been colluding with Xixia and Mongolia for a long time, secretly mobilizing troops, intending to launch a rebellion when I am away from Beijing.

Now that the evidence is irrefutable, you still dare to quibble! "

Liu Zhen's face turned pale as paper, and he kowtowed desperately to beg for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life! Your Majesty is wise, I have never colluded with foreign enemies, it was all Yang Tianxiong who did it, I am innocent!"

At this moment, Lin Ye strode into the hall, holding a secret letter in his hand, and said with a bow: "Your Majesty, I have searched Liu Zhen's mansion and found this secret letter, which is the evidence of Liu Zhen's conspiracy with Xixia!"

Chu Ze took the secret letter and unfolded it slowly. The content of the secret letter was clear. It was Liu Zhen and Xixia who were secretly colluding and agreed to attack from both inside and outside to jointly overthrow the Ming court.

"What a loyal minister!" Chu Ze sneered and threw the secret letter in front of Liu Zhen: "Is this your innocence? Liu Zhen, you have already committed an unforgivable crime!"

When Liu Zhen saw the secret letter was exposed, he collapsed to the ground with despair in his eyes.

He knew that there was no way back today.

"Come here, take Liu Zhen to jail!" Chu Ze gave an order, and the guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Liu Zhen out of the hall.

The powerful officials in the palace witnessed all this and were all silent. Chu Ze swept his eyes over everyone and said in a cold tone: "I have already found out that there are still many traitors in the court who are secretly colluding with foreign enemies and intending to rebel.

You all need to remember that anyone who participates in such treason will be punished by me with iron and blood!"

These words were like a bolt of thunder, shaking the entire court.

Those powerful officials who had different intentions were sweating profusely at this moment and dared not utter a word of objection.

Chu Ze's majesty was like an unshakable mountain, pressing them so hard that they couldn't breathe.

At this moment, an old official with silver hair stood up, bowed and said: "Your Majesty is wise, and it is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to investigate the traitors.

However, I dare to say that although the treacherous officials in the court have been brought to justice, the situation on the border is still unstable, and the threats from Western Xia and Mongolia still exist. I implore Your Majesty to rectify the government as soon as possible, further consolidate national defense, and bring peace to the world! "

After hearing this, Chu Ze's expression eased slightly and he nodded: "I have my own countermeasures against the threats from Western Xia and Mongolia.

The purge in the court should also be carried out to the end.

Once both the internal and external sides are stable, I will protect the Ming Dynasty as safe as Mount Tai!"

The old minister bowed and said, "Your Majesty is thoughtful and far-sighted. We are willing to serve you with all our hearts and souls!"

Chu Ze slowly stood up, looking down at the ministers, his voice full of unquestionable majesty: "I have made it clear today that the Ming Dynasty will never allow treacherous officials at home or abroad to interfere in the slightest.

Anyone who harbors evil intentions will be punished by me with iron-blooded justice.

If any of you still have ulterior motives, why not try my methods!"

As soon as these words came out, the powerful officials in the palace bowed their heads and shouted in unison: "Your Majesty is wise, long live the Ming Dynasty!"

Chu Ze said nothing more, turned around and strode out of the hall.

His figure is like a mountain, exuding an unshakable momentum.

The sunlight outside shone on him, seeming to reflect endless majesty and power.

After leaving the hall, Lin Ye followed closely behind him and asked with a bow, "Your Majesty, Liu Zhen has been taken to prison, and the list of other officials involved in the rebellion has been prepared. Should they be arrested immediately?"

Chu Ze said calmly: "Today is just the beginning, I will completely eliminate these traitors.

Go arrest the people on the list one by one. Anyone who colluded with the foreign enemy will be severely punished without mercy!"

Lin Ye clasped his fists and said, "I understand. I'll do it!"

Chu Ze looked outside the palace wall with a stern expression.

Soon after, news spread in the capital that Liu Zhen and others were colluding with foreign enemies and plotting rebellion.

Those powerful officials who were connected with Liu Zhen's party were arrested one after another. For a time, the whole capital was in a panic and everyone was in danger.

However, Chu Ze's iron-blooded methods also made the court and the people regain their respect for the imperial power.

Everyone inside and outside the Ming Dynasty court understood that the iron-blooded Emperor Chu Ze was not someone who could be easily shaken.

After a few days, peace finally returned to the capital.

Chu Ze stood on a high place in the Forbidden City, overlooking this magnificent imperial capital, but he did not feel relaxed at all.

"Yunyun!" He called the queen's name softly.

Qin Yunyun walked up to him and asked softly, "Your Majesty, the capital has been pacified. Should we take a break?" (End of this chapter)
