Important ministers were beheaded, usually at the East Fourth Archway.
Throughout the history of the Ming Dynasty, the emperor personally killed important ministers, and this was the only example in the entire Ming Dynasty.
The murderous Zhu Youjian looked at Luo Yangxing, but Luo Yangxing was paralyzed on the ground, his legs weak.
There was no need to search the house. Luo Yangxing knelt down on the ground and knelt down to the leader: "I am guilty of death, I am guilty of death! I am willing to donate 210,000 taels of silver to pay for the army. I hope your majesty will show mercy!"
"Two hundred and one thousand taels?!"
Zhu Youjian laughed again, with a hint of resentment in his eyes: "You are really... you are such loyal ministers and good generals, you are... all of you are richer than me!"
He took a deep breath.
The bloody killing just now gave him a strong impact. Although the last knife was struck by Zhu Houcong, his blade really got stuck in the bone marrow of Wei Zaode's neck. It really made Zhu Youjian feel like he was in another world. .
If you want to use one sentence to describe Zhu Youjian's current mood, it would be...
Chongzhen is dead, you picked him! Ministers, I have decided. Even Taizu and Emperor can’t stop me, I said so!
However, Zhu Youjian feels that he can still relax some standards for some officials who confess in a timely manner.
For example, the Luo Yangxing in front of him was also the commander of the Jinyi Guards after all. He could simply have his house confiscated and be demoted instead of beheading him in public.
"Wang Banban."
Zhu Youjian didn't even look at Luo Yangxing, who was kneeling on the ground, but spoke calmly.
Wang Chengen immediately came forward and stood beside Zhu Youjian. He lowered his eyebrows and said, "I'm here."
"Send me the list."
Zhu Youjian sneered and took a deep breath.
This list is naturally the list of Beijing officials who have not gone to court before.
Now, he wants to visit people one by one, door to door.
He wanted to tell these rebellious ministers who were hiding at home and preparing to serve the new emperor that death was coming!
When he looked around, the first person he saw was Fan Jingwen.
Seeing this name, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but feel sad.
Fan Jingwen, Minister of Industry and Cabinet Bachelor.
When Li Zicheng defeated the Xuanfu and the war was approaching the capital, all the ministers asked Zhu Youjian to Nanxing. Only Fan Jingwen persuaded Zhu Youjian to unite people's hearts and stand firm to wait for help. Therefore, Zhu Youjian trusted Fan Jingwen very much.
Now there is no trace of Mr. Fan Ge. Could it be that...
Zhu Youjian took a deep breath and angrily walked to Fan's house, leaving only Luo Yangxing still trembling and kowtow to thank him.
Zhu Houcong glanced at Zhu Youjian, who was furious and already wanted to kill him. Then he looked at Luo Yangxing and said calmly: "Get up."
Luo Yangxing was startled, then happy at first. Just when he was about to say something, he saw Zhu Houcong saying: "Luo An, these are your descendants. It's up to you to teach them a lesson."
After finishing speaking, behind Zhu Houcong, a strong man in uniform with a gloomy face stood up. Looking at Luo Yangxing who was kneeling on the ground crying, an unknown fire surged into his heart!
Luo An, the commander of the Jinyi Guards in the Jiajing Dynasty, had been guarding the Xingwang Mansion with his father since he was a child. Later, when Zhu Houcong ascended the throne as emperor, Luo An also made a contribution to the rescue and was awarded the title of commander of the Jinyi Guards. He was a direct descendant of Jiajing Emperor Zheng'er Bajing!
At the same time, he is also Luo Yangxing's cousin, the first generation of the Luo family to be famous in the capital!
He didn't expect that the family fortune he had saved up would be destroyed by his great-grandson. He was really angry!
Therefore, regardless of the disgrace before the king, Luo An did not hesitate, took out his riding crop, and whipped Luo Yangxing.
Luo Yangxing screamed, but he didn't dare to resist, so he could only let the beating happen.
When Zhu Houcong saw this situation, he no longer paid attention to the situation of the Luo family, but moved forward at the pace of a tiger and a dragon.
This Luo Yangxing surrendered first to Li Zicheng and then to Dorgon.
When he was in the Qing Dynasty, he served as the admiral of Tianjin and contributed many strategies to the Qing Dynasty to pacify the world.
Whether to kill or to stay depends on Luo An's choice.
Zhu Houcong believed that Luo An could make the right choice.
In Fan's house, Fan Jingwen was lying weakly on the bed, while Zhu Youjian looked at Fan Jingwen, silent in his heart, unable to calm down for a long time.
Almost mistakenly blamed Zhongliang!
Zhu Youjian never expected that the reason why Fan Jingwen did not go to court was because he had decided to go on a hunger strike at home three days ago!
In front of the table, there is a suicide note.
As a minister, I cannot exterminate the thieves to avenge my shame, and I will die with lingering regrets!
A line of blood words made Zhu Youjian sigh deeply. This is a loyal minister, a loyal minister!
"Mr. Fan Ge, don't commit suicide. I still need Mr. Fan Ge to advise me. Don't give up easily."
Zhu Youjian sighed, and then cheered to Fan Jingwen: "Emperors Taizu, Chengzu and Emperor Shizong of our dynasty have all appeared. One hundred thousand troops are on display in the capital. The intruders, Western thieves and Jiannu slaves are all wiped out in a snap!" "
Fan Jingwen, who was lying on the hospital bed, was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then his weak face was filled with disbelief and doubt.
Could it be that His Majesty went crazy because of too much pressure?
Emperor Taizong, Emperor Chengzu, Emperor Sejong?
For a moment, Fan Jingwen was at a loss.
After Zhu Youjian gave Fan Jingwen a few words of relief, he did not stay for long.
He has other things to do.
Continue to raid homes!
After bidding farewell to Fan Mansion, the list in Zhu Youjian's hand was like a book of life and death. Not even one out of ten people was left in it!
The entire capital was in terror of Zhu Youjian's house confiscation.
In just three or four hours, Zhu Youjian already had 10 million taels of silver in his hands!
One sentence to describe Zhu Youjian now.
Crazy, already crazy.
Zhu Houcong did not join in the fun, but came to the Beijing Camp immediately.
Zhu Houcong knew everything about the officials in the capital.
There were only five bachelors in Chongzhen's cabinet, namely Li Jiantai, Wei Zaode, Fan Jingwen, Qiu Yu and Fang Yuegong.
However, Zhu Houcong, who came from a later generation, knew that among the great scholars of the Chongzhen Dynasty, except for Li Jiantai and Wei Zaode, the other three were pretty good. When the city of Beijing was destroyed, they all died for their country and were unwilling to serve the leader of the thieves.
After the great scholar Qiu Yu died, Li Zicheng searched his home and found only two thousand gold.
It may seem like a lot, but in comparison, in the rotten officialdom of the late Ming Dynasty, the total wealth of this first-class bachelor was only two thousand gold. Compared with those with assets of hundreds of thousands or millions. For the noble ministers, this is considered to be honest and honest.
Therefore, these officials are still trustworthy.
After Zhu Houcong arrived at the military camp, Yu Dayou immediately came in armor. Unable to suppress the joy in his heart, he bowed to Zhu Houcong and said, "Your Majesty, the military camp has been controlled by our army. The firearms of later generations are somewhat useful and can fire several shots in succession... ...but the quality is a bit..."
"Take all these firearms away and go back to study and imitate them."
Zhu Houcong was not polite and directly collected all the firearms from the Chongzhen Chaojing camp.
"Now, there are three more things to do."
Zhu Houcong opened his mouth and said: "First, Guo Xun has controlled all the city gates in Beijing, but he still needs to gather the original army of Chongzhen Dynasty. Although they are vulnerable, they can also help repair the city walls and so on."
"Second, Fubo Camp and the remaining three battalions of cavalry are all out of the city and hiding outside the city. If necessary, I need you to give the invading enemy a fatal blow!"
"Third, go find a Westerner named 'Tang Ruowang'. This man is the supervisor of the Qintian Prison of the Chongzhen Dynasty. It should be easy to find!"
When Yu Dayou heard this, he immediately accepted the order: "Yes, the final general will live up to His Majesty's expectations!"
After Yu Dayou's sonorous and powerful response, the surrounding space suddenly changed, and then, an old veteran in battle armor appeared out of thin air in front of Zhu Houcong.
"Escort!"
The moment the old man appeared, the surrounding Jinyi guards and sergeants from the third battalion rushed up. In an instant, the old general was surrounded by swords, guns, swords and halberds, and Zhu Houcong was also protected behind him by Generals Yu Dayou and Lu Bing.
The old man felt such a weapon as soon as he arrived. He couldn't help but laugh. Instead of worrying, he jokingly said to Zhu Houcong: "Young boy Houcong, do you want to kill me?"
"How dare this junior?"
Zhu Houcong passed Yu Dayou and Lu Bing, and then raised his voice and said: "This is Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty. Generals must not be rude."
Hearing Zhu Houcong's words, the generals were stunned.
Immediately afterwards, Zhu Houcong turned to Zhu Di and said respectfully: "Junior Emperor Jiajing, Zhu Houcong, pays homage to Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty!"
Seeing Zhu Houcong like this, the generals around him no longer had any doubts and shouted: "I will see your majesty, long live your majesty Jiajing, long live your majesty Yongle!"
They have all arrived seventy years later, so it is not surprising that Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty appears here.
Soldiers from the Yongle Dynasty also began to appear on the school grounds one after another, and Zhu Di did not hesitate at all. He strode up to Zhu Houcong and asked Zhu Houcong seriously: "Boy Houcong, I am busy with military affairs and have lost some time." , what’s the current situation?”
Before Zhu Houcong could react, some spatial distortion occurred again around him.
The mighty, domineering and murderous Zhu Yuanzhang came to the Chongzhen Dynasty!
Seeing this, Zhu Di quickly retracted his neck and hid behind Zhu Houcong like an old child.
He was a little scared.
Not only because of Zhu Yuanzhang, he also saw a general behind Zhu Yuanzhang.
That general had extraordinary magnanimity and decisive attacks, and was a famous general throughout the ages.
Duke Wei of the Ming Dynasty, Xu Da.
He is also Zhu Di's father-in-law and military teacher and old superior.
Seeing these two elders, some horrific memories from his youth could not help but be vividly remembered, making Zhu Di subconsciously want to avoid their eyes.
But no matter how hard he tried to hide, it was useless. Zhu Yuanzhang still saw Zhu Di at a glance, and immediately smiled at Xu Da beside him:
"Tiande, look, our fourth son is just sitting there! Look, what I said is right, there is absolutely no problem in letting your daughter marry our fourth son, but you are still not happy..."
