Chapter 108 Zhu Qiyu faces it alone

Gao Gu stood up and said that was wrong. Zhu Qiyu stared at him, wanting to know what else he could say.The Metropolitan Procuratorate said that the crimes committed by the two of them were too numerous to describe, and they still had trouble arguing.

Gao Gu stood up and said: "I am not denying the innocence of the two of them, but I am just saying that it is not appropriate to arrest them now. After all, the Supreme Emperor is still in Mobei, and the Empress Dowager Sun lives deep in the palace. If they are arrested at this time, what will happen to them?" This is an unfilial misconception among the world, your Majesty, please think twice before you act!”

"Oh, so you also think they are guilty?" Zhu Qiyu sat there, staring at them and asked.

Those ministers looked at me and I looked at you, but no one said anything.

"What do you mean by not telling? Not guilty?" Zhu Qiyu continued to question them.

Chen Xun, Wang Zhi and Yu Qian below all understood that His Majesty was determined to deal with the Sun family. Otherwise, it would be impossible to be so hostile to these ministers who wanted to release them.

Zhu Qiyu sat on it and pondered for a moment, then continued: "You said that I was unfilial by arresting them. I don't agree with it. How can I let them ruin the reputation of the Queen Mother outside, let them do whatever they want, dare not ignore it, and let the people secretly scold them? Queen Mother, is it filial piety?

I didn't arrest anyone else, just the first culprit!You are all scholars. When the emperor breaks the law, he is as guilty as the people. Are they nobler than me?
Filial piety?Does filial piety mean watching the Queen Mother's family and constantly ruining the Queen Mother's reputation without caring?What kind of truth is this?

You are all ministers of the court, the so-called parents and officials. This is how you make decisions for the people and help me govern the world. No wonder the rebellion continues in the south. It is because of you that you condone those people below who commit crimes and violate laws, and you force the people to do so. rebel! "

When Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, he stood up very excitedly.

When the ministers heard what Zhu Qiyu said, they immediately knelt down and said they did not dare.

"Don't you dare? Don't you dare? Half of the ministers in the dynasty interceded for them. Just one act of filial piety was worth more than that Sun Hongyuan raped and killed more than ten innocent women. You all have wives, daughters, and granddaughters. If this happened to you, Well, ask yourself this question!" Zhu Qiyu stood there, pointing at the ministers and cursing happily.

"I'm so stupid!" the ministers continued to kneel down and replied.

"The Metropolitan Procuratorate, hand over those impeachment memorials and reporting evidence to the Jin Yiwei. Since you all the Procuratorate don't dare to handle it, then let the Jin Yiwei handle it? Next court!" Zhu Qiyu finished speaking, and with a flick of his sleeves, he left the dragon chair and went to Come down below.

Wang Wen also sighed: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qiyu was very happy. He had gone to court so many times, but this time he was the most happy. He did not expect that the Metropolitan Procuratorate would be useful. At least it had collected evidence, which would be of great help in cleaning up the Sun family.

After Zhu Qiyu left for a while, Chen Xun and Wang Zhi looked at each other, knowing in their hearts that Zhu Qiyu was the one leading this matter.

However, they never found Zhang Yong in the Sun family.
Zhang Yong deliberately did not go back yesterday. He knew that if he went back, someone would come looking for him. Moreover, he had to collect evidence. Since he had arrested Sun Hongyuan, he needed to prove the matter. The credit was in front of him. If he couldn't catch it, If you stay, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

In the afternoon, the people from the Sun family were already sitting together. News from the court had reached their home, and they knew that Zhu Qiyu was going to operate on them both.

The people of the Sun family were very angry, even Sun Zhong, who had always been gentle and gentle, was so angry. His Majesty was determined to put their family to death.

This matter cannot be left alone.

"You go to the palace now and go with the second child!" Sun Zhong said to Sun Jizong.

"Okay, I'll go now!" Sun Jizong nodded, and soon he and Sun Xianzong went out and went straight to the palace.

When they arrived at the palace, Zhu Qiyu soon knew that Zhu Qiyu could not let them in. Cheng Jing stood there, waiting for Zhu Qiyu's order.

Zhu Qiyu sat in front of the tea table, making tea quietly, as if he had not heard the matter, but Cheng Jing knew that Zhu Qiyu was still thinking about it.

After a while, Zhu Qiyu said: "Let them in! I am not an unfilial person. I won't even let the Queen Mother's family see me!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After hearing this, Cheng Jing withdrew.

Zhu Qiyu smiled contemptuously, picked up the teacup, and thought about this.

The two brothers Sun Jizong arrived at Kangshou Palace soon. The Empress Dowager Sun was a little surprised when she learned that the two brothers were coming. At the same time, she had some expectations, but she knew in her heart that the matter would not be completed so quickly. With all the money gathered, , it will take several days.

When the two saw Queen Mother Sun, they immediately knelt down and worshiped. Then Sun Xianzong cried and shouted: "Empress Dowager, please save your fourth brother and your nephew Hongyuan!"

"What, what's wrong? What happened?" Queen Mother Sun heard Sun Xianzong crying. She was stunned for a moment, then started to cry, and stared at Sun Xianzong and asked.

"The Queen Mother, Xu Zong was arrested a few days ago. Yesterday afternoon, Hongyuan's nephew was also arrested, and they were all sent to Beizhen Fusi!" Sun Jizong knelt there and answered with cupped hands.

"What, they were caught, who has the courage!" Empress Dowager Sun took the crutch and stamped on the ground hard, extremely angry.

"Get up and tell me clearly! Who dares to arrest my natal family!" Queen Mother Sun was a little bit out of her mind at this moment. After all, when she suddenly heard that her own brother and nephew were arrested, she became so angry that she dared to say anything. .Brothers Sun Jizong and Sun Xianzong stood up and began to narrate the whole story of the incident. However, they did not mention a word about the crimes they had committed. They only said that they arrested people without warning, and that court officials Half of them objected, but it was still useless.

Empress Dowager Sun has slowly calmed down now. She knows that His Majesty is behind this incident. The purpose is to suppress her and the Emperor's supporters. If the Sun family is defeated, other supporters will be frightened and stay away. There will be no more in the future. People support the Supreme Emperor.

"I have repeatedly given in and accommodated myself. I never expected that this would be the result!" Queen Mother Sun closed her eyes and said resentfully.

In her heart, she was very regretful. She just didn't expect that Wang Meilin could control the palace so quickly. The key was that she never thought that one day she would lose power in the palace.

All of this was caused by my own negligence.

Queen Mother Sun stood up at this moment and walked outside.

Sun Jizong and Sun Xianzong also stood up and wanted to follow.

"You all go back and do your job. This palace will handle this matter. You go back so that father doesn't have to worry too much!" Queen Mother Sun looked at the two brothers coldly and said.

"Yes!" When the two saw Queen Mother Sun being so determined, they immediately raised their hands and said.

Empress Dowager Sun said to the maid beside her: "Go to Qianqing Palace!"

"Yes!" The father-in-law and the maid immediately went to prepare.
Although the maids were monitoring Queen Mother Sun, they did not dare to restrict Queen Mother Sun's freedom. However, the news that Queen Mother Sun was going to Qianqing Palace soon reached Kunning Palace.

Kunning Palace is very close to Qianqing Palace, but Kangshou Palace is a bit far away, so Wang Meilin arrived at Qianqing Palace first.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is coming here again!" Wang Meilin said anxiously to Zhu Qiyu who was sitting there drinking tea.

When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he turned to look at Wang Meilin, then stood up and said: "That's it? You too, with a big belly, why are you running here? Go back, I can handle it here. If something goes wrong later, But what should we do, Cheng Jing, let someone help the queen back to the palace!"

"Yes!" Cheng Jing came over immediately.

"You know everything?" Wang Meilin looked at Zhu Qiyu in surprise.

"The Sun brothers have entered the palace. What good things can happen to them? They are just here to cry. Today in the court, all the ministers objected, but I took it all in. Are you afraid of the crying of these two brothers?" Zhu Qiyu said confidently He looked at Wang Meilin and smiled.

Seeing that Zhu Qiyu was so confident, Wang Meilin felt confident in his heart, so he smiled and said: "It would be good if your Majesty knew in advance. I am worried that your Majesty is unprepared!"

"Well, go ahead. We may have something else to do later, so stay out of the way for now!" Zhu Qiyu helped Wang Meilin to the study door with concern, and then watched Wang Meilin leave.

Zhu Qiyu was still sitting in front of the tea seat, taking a deep breath. At this moment, his heart was not so peaceful, which could be seen from the trembling hand holding the teacup.

The fear in my heart towards Queen Mother Sun comes from my childhood, from what I saw and heard when I was a child, and also from my mother’s teachings.

The reason why Zhu Qiyu wanted to face the Queen Mother Sun alone here was because he wanted to face this inner fear alone.

Zhu Qiyu knew deep in his heart that if he could not overcome this fear, he would not be able to truly become an emperor with sole power.

Therefore, when Zhu Qiyu learned that the two brothers were coming, he convinced himself that he must face them alone.

But the arrival of the queen just now made Zhu Qiyu very touched. Although Wang Meilin didn't say anything, he just came for a visit. But this time, Zhu Qiyu found comfort in his heart. He saw Wang Meilin holding out his belly. Inside the belly, it might be him. His eldest son, the future successor to his throne, made Zhu Qiyu even more determined.

Since he ascended the throne, Zhu Qiyu has never dared to face the Queen Mother Sun alone, let alone face the Queen Mother Sun's questioning.

But now, he is the emperor, and he will have more sons. This Ming Dynasty belongs to him and his son. No one can rob it. Whoever robs him will die!

Zhu Qiyu held the tea cup and drank it in one gulp. He pursed his lips and stared straight ahead.

Then he put down the teacup, picked up a memorial next to him, and started reading.

Soon, Cheng Jing came in again and said to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother is here!"

"Oh, the Queen Mother is here? I should go and greet you!" Upon hearing this, Zhu Qiyu put down the memorial with a smile and stood up.

Cheng Jing looked at Zhu Qiyu with great surprise. At this moment, although Zhu Qiyu was still a little thinner and had no flesh on his cheeks, he looked extremely tall.
