Emperor Zongwu: Choose the fetters of treacherous ministers at the beginning

Finally, the revision of "Sword of Cihang" was successful.

Zhao Kai is holding this brand new Cihang Sword Code, which can be handed over to Ning Daoqi and Palace Master Lian Xing for review.

Speaking of which, "Cihang Sword Code" is also very suitable for Lian Xing, as it can improve her cultivation to a level closer to that of her sister Yaoyue.

However, if Yaoyue recovers from the coffin of the mausoleum, her strength will be greatly strengthened.

After three days, the little fairy doctor has cultivated Cangshan Xiaogu, and this "Sword of Mercy Hang" can be read by Ning Daoqi.

Zhao Kai left Yaoxian Valley.

At this moment, it is already morning.

It's time to go to court.

The morning of this day was very unusual.

More than a dozen officials who could have appeared in the court hall disappeared and did not show up.

Including Cai Jing and Tong Guan.

Above the court hall, hundreds of officials are present.

Congratulate each other, this time His Majesty's big cleansing, neither of them is on the wrong team, so it can be regarded as dodging a catastrophe.

If he followed Cai Jing, there must be no way out.

After that, Zhao Kai sat on the dragon chair, the court meeting began, and all the officials bowed down.

"Long live my emperor!"

Zhao Kai sat on the dragon chair, and said loudly: "Everyone loves you, stay flat."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

When the officials stood up, Zhao Kai began to issue edicts.

Above are the serious crimes committed by Cai Jing and Tong Guan over the years discovered by the watchmen.

Forming cliques for private interests, amassing money, and attacking political opponents are all things that Cai Jing has done for decades in power.

It is even recorded that Cai Jing committed crimes before Zhao Kai was born.

These alone are enough for him to die.

Next, colluding with the traitor Fang La, colluding with the Dajin Dynasty, colluding with Tongguan to launch a mutiny, and other outrageous crimes were all made public.

Including Cai Jing's mansion, united with the three powerful men, the God of Nine Nethers, and 637 An's father and son, they also did a lot of evil.

And last night, six masters were sent to besiege and kill Wei Yuan and so on.

All kinds of serious crimes made the civil and military officials below take a breath of cold air.

They all felt that this Cai Jing was too courageous.

"Cai Jing, damn it!"

"Cai Jing has committed a heinous crime. I hope His Majesty will execute him Ling Chi and exterminate the nine clans!"

"Your Majesty is wise, kill Cai Jing, and the revival of the Great Song Dynasty is expected!"

"Your Majesty is wise!"

The ministers were excited.

Zhao Kai nodded, and said: "Decree, Cai Jing will be executed today! Exterminate Cai Jing's nine clans!"

Including, many of his sons are officials in the court, such as Cai Jun, the prefect of Hangzhou, and his son-in-law, Liang Zhongshu, the prefect of the famous prefect.

These are all in it.

They all want to kill and ransack their homes.

After confiscating all the treacherous ministers' homes, the military expenses for the Dajin Dynasty will be collected this time.

When the edict was made public, the people in the imperial city rejoiced.

They even set off firecrackers and danced lions on the street.

As if celebrating the new year, the common people met together to see Cai Jing's execution.

For example, there is a young man from a rich family on the street who is dating a certain lady: "My lady, you are free today. Why don't we go to Caishikou together and see Cai Jing be sentenced to death?"

The people excitedly celebrated that the treacherous ministers Cai Jing and Tong Guan were executed by Ling Chi.

They have been looking forward to this day for too long.

Unexpectedly, after half a year since his Majesty ascended the throne, he would kill Cai Jing and Tong Guan, two big traitors.

Even, the streets have already sung songs: "Break the bucket (Tong Guan) and throw the vegetables (Cai Jing) and it will be a good world!"

……

At the same time, the surrounding dynasties also quickly got the news.

(*)

Ming Dynasty.

Inside the Imperial City Forbidden City.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy.

"Very good, taking the phoenix blood this time will save my son's life! Great Ming Dynasty, hopeful!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was very satisfied with the news that he had taken the phoenix blood crystal from the unnamed island in the southern part of the Sea of ​​Kyushu from the Qin Dynasty.

In his opinion, phoenix blood is the best solution to his son's short life.

"Your Majesty, it is said that a phoenix blood can be divided into two halves and used by two people. Although you can't get absolute longevity, you can save the crown prince and Duke E at the same time!"

Li Shanchang said.

"Save Duke E? Then my son, Zhu Biao, won't he live forever?"

Zhu Yuanzhang showed displeasure.

"Duke E, is he still alive?"

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang showed doubts on his face.

"Alive, receive treatment in a mysterious place within the territory of the Great Song Dynasty."

Li Shanchang replied.

Zhu Yuanzhang asked Liu Bowen and Li Shanchang to set off to the Song Dynasty twice, saying that they would bring Chang Yuchun's body back to Daming after his death.

But both of them replied that Chang Yuchun was not dead and was receiving treatment in Song Dynasty, so naturally his body could not be brought back.

Moreover, instead of bringing back Chang Yuchun's body, Liu Bowen stayed in the Song Dynasty and became a courtier of the Song Dynasty.

These two points made Zhu Yuanzhang a little unhappy.

It's just that the good mood of getting Fengxue has diluted the displeasure.

He was also wondering, why did Da Song ask a famous doctor to save Chang Yuchun who was no longer alive?

"That Zhao Kai from Song Dynasty, what kind of tricks is he playing?"

At this time, another new news came.

"Your Majesty, the latest news from the Great Song Dynasty, Prime Minister Cai Jing and Privy Envoy Tong Guan were executed by the Great Song Emperor!"

"Tong Guan raised his troops and fled, but was beheaded and killed by a female general of Song Dynasty."

"Cai Jing conspired to besiege and beat the guard Wei Yuan, but Wei Yuan led many masters to surround the mansion."

"In the battle of the Cai Mansion, Zhao Kai's masters from the imperial palace beheaded Ouyang Feng, the famous master of the Celestial Realm in the Jianghu, Xidu Ouyang Feng, Lord Jiuyou, as well as An Yunshan and An Shigeng's father and son from the An family. The thirteen murderers and his disciples, as well as my masters in the black list, Hongxuanfo, Tan Yingshou, Mo Yixian, and Gan Yuyi! All were killed overnight!"

Hearing this secret report, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression also changed slightly.

"Good method, good method! It has only been half a year since he ascended the throne, and at such a young age, he has wiped out Cai Jing, the head of civil servants, and Tong Guan, the head of military officials. This Zhao Kai is not easy!"

"Biao'er, study hard!"

Zhu Yuanzhang told Zhu Biao to learn from the thunderous methods of the emperor next door, the Song Dynasty.

After Zhu Biao heard it, he just bowed and didn't respond.

He thought that if he encountered such a thing, he might not be able to kill such two high-ranking ministers.

However, he looked at his father Zhu Yuanzhang again.

Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely be able to do this kind of thing, and he was probably more ruthless than the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

No wonder, Zhu Yuanzhang admired the emperor of Song Dynasty so much.

The same news also spread to Huining Mansion, the imperial city of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Aguda's face was gloomy.

"This time, the plan to join forces with Cai Jing to induce civil strife in the Song Dynasty has failed!"

"Both Cai Jing and Tong Guan were killed, the new emperor of the Song Dynasty, the method is not simple!"

Wanyan Aguda also showed a sad face at this moment.

He is not very firm about his plan to attack the Song Dynasty in the south.

On the side, the fourth prince, Jin Wushu, immediately stood up and said: "Father, it is not so easy to fail. The Song Dynasty is in chaos at the moment! The soldiers and horses of my ministers are ready to go, and this is the opportunity to invade the south!"

"My son has also contacted Fang La, the leader of the Ming religion in the Great Song Dynasty. He also plans to rebel in the near future! Our Great Jin Dynasty attacked the eastern part of the Great Song Dynasty, and Fang La rebelled in the south, disturbing the southern part of the Great Song Dynasty. And the Great Song Dynasty fought successively this year. , just when we are tired and the supply of food and grass is insufficient."

Wanyan Aguda's complexion changed, and he looked at Jin Wushu with some dissatisfaction, and said, "Zongbi, do you know that Ning Daoqi, who was sent by our Jin Dynasty this time, eventually rebelled and became a member of the Song Dynasty? This Ning Daoqi Dodge was invited by the Holy Maiden of Cihang Jingzhai from the Eastern Continent, right? You said you supported Cihang Jingzhai, what is the situation? How much can that so-called Holy Maiden really help you?"

"You said that the Song Dynasty has no food for the successive battles? Then do you know why the Emperor of the Song Dynasty took over all the assets of the An family? Confiscated Cai Jing's family property, as well as the family property of his sons and sons-in-law who are officials, how much can it be exchanged for?" Military spending?"

Wanyan Agu's words made Jin Wushu look embarrassed.

"Ning Daoqi is not a member of Cihang Jingzhai in the Eastern Continent. He is unreliable. You can't blame the saint of Cihang Jingzhai for this matter!"

Jin Wushu said.

"Then what did Ouyang Feng say? My Great Jin Dynasty invited him to come out of the mountain, and it cost a lot of money. In the end, he was killed directly."

"The King of the Red Sun is dead, and Ouyang Feng is also dead. If we, the Great Jin Dynasty, lose more masters because of this battle, the foundation of the dynasty may not be stable!"

Wanyan Agu said.

"Father! Don't worry, I will definitely return victorious! Please let me send troops immediately. I have also invited many masters in the rivers and lakes, and I have gathered many powerful generals from the Jin Dynasty! This battle will at least occupy the entire Great Song Dynasty Eastern Territory!"

Jin Wushu expressed his willingness to issue a military order.

Be sure to make contributions!

Now, among the other princes and princes and ministers, there are more fighters among them.

They all expressed their support for the fourth prince.

In the end, after discussions between Wanyan Aguda and many courtiers and royal children, it was decided to send troops immediately to surprise the Song Dynasty.

Although Wanyan Aguda was worried, he also admitted that in this battle, the Jin Dynasty still had a great chance of winning.

If this battle is won, the Great Jin Dynasty will be among the top of many powerful dynasties in Kyushu.

This is a battle that brings together national fortunes.

……

Regarding the changes in the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Ming Dynasty naturally paid the most attention.

In addition to these two dynasties, the Western Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty and the Wu Zhou Dynasty all received news.

Judging from the recent news about the Great Song Dynasty, they all know that the Great Song Dynasty is on the rise.

And next, there will be a battle between the Great Jin Dynasty and the Great Song Dynasty.

Whoever wins this battle will officially become a top powerful dynasty, comparable to powerful dynasties such as Great Qin, Great Tang, Western Han, and Great Ming.

Wu Zhou Dynasty.

Inside the Imperial City Ziwei City.

Empress Wu Zhao looked at the map of Kyushu in front of her.

Beside her is her most trusted Shangguan Wan'er.
