Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 187
The official addiction of Ara Zhiyuan has just been satisfied, and he is in high spirits, eager to execute the imperial edict of the Ming emperor to show his loyalty.

Yu Qian was the complete opposite. Although he did not dare to openly disobey the emperor's edict, he carried it out with some reluctance, because these traitors were not just Yang Hong's old subordinates.

So Yu Qian replied to the Ara Zhiyuan: "King Cheng, don't worry, the emperor's edict clearly stated that all civil and military officials of the seventh rank and above in the Xuanfu must be present. So the lower officials have to check the roster to make sure Everyone has already gone to the top of the city to watch their sentence."

Ah La smiled and said: "Okay, don't worry, anyway, these people must die today. The emperor also said that Yang Jun will be sentenced to death in a short time. Please tell Yang Hong in Shangshu to let him prepare the coffin early." .”

Hearing this, Yu Qian frowned even tighter.

From the bottom of his heart, Yu Qian already had some admiration for Zhu Qiyu. The emperor's executive ability was really good, and he was really merciless when he said that he wanted to attack the officialdom in Shanxi.Only three months after he ascended the throne, the emperor has already begun to wield the butcher's knife against Shanxi.

But admiration is admiration, after all, everyone has a different position.At the very beginning, Hu Wei, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian were all somewhat intimidated by Xinjun.But now, these important ministers of the Xuande Dynasty have gradually come to their senses: what the emperor wants to do is not only to suppress the lineage of the orthodox emperor, so as to secure his throne.

These are nothing, and they are still within the range accepted by the ministers.But now everyone is becoming more and more aware that the emperor still wants to completely liquidate the Xuande Dynasty.

This matter is weird, and it is the first time that the ministers have seen their son insist on liquidating Lao Tzu.

Moreover, the new monarch's hatred for the Xuande courtiers is far greater than the hatred for the orthodox courtiers.

Regarding Zhu Qizhen's direct descendants, Wang Ji, Chen Mao, Liu Pu and others, the new monarch will either add officials and promote them, or put them aside and ignore them. From the beginning to the end, there has been no excessive behavior.On the contrary, for Sanyang, he was completely caught and held on.

Although Sanyang died, his cronies still spread all over the court.

Unfortunately, Yang Hong on the head of Xuanfu city and Yu Qian himself outside the gate of Xuanfu city are all Sanyang's cronies.Moreover, during the Xuande Dynasty, the relationship between Yu Qian and Sanyang was so obvious that it is difficult to get rid of it now.

After repeated weighing, Yu Qian finally made a final decision, refusing to follow Xinjun's strategy of liquidating Sanyang.

Yu Qian can accept the liquidation of Yang Hong, but he really can't accept the liquidation of San Yang.

Soon, Yu Qian checked the civil and military officials of the Xuanfu, and there were quite a few of them. Even Yang Hong stood on the tower to watch the execution.

Arazhiyuan asked with a smile: "Yu Shangshu, are you alright now?"

"All right."

Yu Qian was so preoccupied that he didn't think much about it, so he replied subconsciously.Unexpectedly, as soon as the words fell, Ara Zhiyuan waved his hand.

Dozens of personal soldiers immediately pushed more than a dozen rebels to the city of Xuanfu, their heads rolled down with their knives in their hands.

After finishing the work, the guards threw the traitor's body on the spot, kicked it a few times, and signaled Yang Hong on the top of the wall to come down to collect the body.

As for the traitor's head, the guards picked it up again and pinned it to his waist as a trophy.

Not only the soldiers on the top of the city began to yell, but even Yu Qian under the city couldn't stand it any longer, and asked Ara Zhiyuan, "King Cheng, what do you mean by this? Cut it off, why do you want to humiliate the corpse?"

Ara Zhiyuan disagreed and retorted: "Yu Shangshu's words are wrong, even according to the rules of Ming Dynasty, the heinous people have to show their heads to the public after beheading them.

Besides, I was ordered by the Emperor of Heaven to send the heads of these traitors back to Beijing.How about I show Yu Shangshu the emperor's edict? "

Yu Qian glanced coldly at Ara Zhiyuan, stopped entanglement, turned back to the city, and ended this weird and embarrassing scene: In this execution ceremony, Ara Zhiyuan looked like Zhu Qiyu's loyal minister, Yang Hong looked like a traitor who rebelled against the new king.

And Yu Qian was caught in the middle, neither loyal to the orthodox emperor nor Jingtai Emperor, but loyal to the late Xuande Emperor, which seemed particularly redundant and embarrassing.

Fortunately, the execution was over, and after returning to the city, there were complaints and curses among the civil and military officials of the Xuan Mansion.

The smartest people, like Cui Wenxiu, see that the situation is not right, and run away first without looking back.The rest are also very smart, that is, those who reacted a little slower, after seeing the dozens of human heads rolling on the ground, they came back to their memories, and started writing notes one after another, drawing a clear line with Yang Hong, and looking forward to the new life. You show your loyalty.

Soon the memorial was written, and the special envoy sent by Zhu Qiyu was surrounded by civil and military officials from Xuanfu just as he was about to leave the city.

The special envoy was taken aback, and saw that these officials each held up the notebooks in their hands, while stuffing the notebooks into their own hands, they kept shouting long live the Holy Spirit.

The special envoy followed Zhu Qiyu's style of conduct, and told everyone directly: "You don't need to publish your memorials, it's useless. If you were honest and honest when you were in office, the emperor wouldn't do anything to you if you didn't show your loyalty by presenting your memorials.

If you do corrupt things and break the law, even if you shout long live and break your throat, it will not help.

Yu Shangshu was sent by the emperor to investigate you.Check one by one, no one can escape.That's it, spread out, I'm going back to report to the emperor. "

After speaking, the special envoy separated from the crowd and left in a hurry.

While people in the Xuan Mansion were panicking, Zhu Qiyu was lying on the bed, begging for rain leisurely.

This begging for rain was really begging for rain. Several concubines just stared blankly like this, feeling inconceivable at the emperor's behavior.

Zhu Qiyu couldn't stand the sympathetic and caring eyes of the concubines, so he had to explain solemnly: "Although I am not the Dragon King, I am the Emperor of the Real Dragon. The Emperor of the Real Dragon is also a dragon. If it rains, it will rain." .”

When Mu Yu heard this, she also asked solemnly: "Husband, the inner court just sent a bunch of things over today. What ginseng, deer antler, sealwort, etc., are said to be for the emperor and the noble concubine.

Why don't I cook some ginseng chicken soup for you, two bowls would be much better. "

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand vigorously: "Tell them not to send any more. We can't eat a bite of what the inner court sends. These people wish that our family will die early, and you still want to use the ginseng stew they sent."

Mu Yu quickly agreed, and asked again: "Then what should I do with the things that have already been delivered? For the guards to eat?"

"No, no, don't give it to the guard. Our life is our life, but the life of the guard is not life? What if we are poisoned?
Especially the chronic poison is the most terrible. What if you can't give birth to a child after taking it?Isn't that ruining a life?

How about this, you let the princess use a warehouse alone to put these things away.In the future, weddings, weddings, weddings, and welcomes will be taken as accompanying gifts and sent to the homes of nobles, relatives, and ministers sent by the emperor. "

Mu Yu was afraid that Zhu Qiyu would get angry again, so she quickly agreed, and immediately turned around and went out to make arrangements.

Zhu Qiyu still hadn't finished telling the other favorite concubines: "You must keep in mind that those people in the palace must be guarded against as sworn enemies."
