"Then the factory is still there and is still building weapons, which means the line is not broken. Who is in charge?"
Zhu Qiyu is thinking.
Should we investigate further?
Now the investigation of private soldiers has shocked the capital.
If he were to investigate the source of privately manufactured weapons, would it be overkill? Acting aggressively? Touching the interests of too many people?
The important thing is, what benefits does he get?
What's the use of digging out some bedbugs?
Just like Shi Pu and Hu Hui, dog bites dog. He does not get any benefit, so he naturally has to lift it up high and put it down gently.
Everyone in the court is a bedbug.
Those with mysophobia, perfectionism, and conscience should not stand in the court, it is too dirty.
As for being loyal, just listen to it, don't take it seriously.
If you want people to be loyal, you have to constantly tie them up with benefits.
Zhu Qiyu paced back and forth, investigating the ordnance subcontracting case. What could he get?
Moreover, will the impact be too great?
Shooting yourself in the foot?
"Who is investigating this matter?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Your Majesty, the patrol camp and Dongchang are all investigating." Chen Shao heard it, and the emperor didn't want to investigate further.
"Let Fan Qing continue to investigate, while others continue to investigate the private soldiers."
Zhu Qiyu made a decision.
To investigate, first dig out the ghost in Xun Chen.
At least we must seize Xun Chen's handle and make Xun Chen obedient. If he doesn't obey, we will take the opportunity to kill him!
Leaving Fan Qing to investigate alone is actually narrowing the attack surface.
The key point is that the capital city gate cannot be closed for a long time, as it will cause instability in the world and cause the center to operate normally.
The gates of the capital must be opened for one day and one night at most.
The center resumes operation.
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
The emperor's decision surprised Chen Shao.
The emperor wants to investigate.
Nowadays, the capital is in chaos, with the private soldier case caused by Ding Quan, the rebellion case caused by Du Ying, and the ordnance subcontracting case caused by the basement.
Every case is a shocking one.
The emperor wanted to eat a fat man in one bite and investigate together.
The difficulty can be imagined.
"Your Majesty, how far is the investigation?" Chen Shao asked cautiously.
"Find Haiyan Heqing!"
Zhu Qiyu wanted to see what else was hidden among Xun Chen!
"Tell Tiqi to help Fan Qing, and you will continue to investigate the private soldiers. The private soldiers are the top priority."
Chen Shao was shocked and immediately kowtowed: "Wei Chen understands!"
"Go ahead."
Zhu Qiyu returned to Fengtianmen.
Outside Fengtian Gate, the fire lit up the sky, like daylight.
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the clan: "Where is the King of Jingzhou?"
"Wei Chen is here!" King Jingzhou trembled.
He didn't know yet what was going on.
"Are you dissatisfied with being demoted from King of Liao to King of Jingzhou?" Zhu Qiyu said in a faint tone.
He stood on Fengtian Gate.
There are eunuchs around and guards outside to ensure safety.
There are too many clans.
Every time the emperor said something, eunuchs would pass it on to the back one after another to ensure that all the clan members could hear it.
"Wei Chen doesn't dare!"
The King of Jingzhou kowtows: "It is the minor minister who is guilty, and your Majesty is just punishing the minor minister. Your Majesty has already raised your noble hand. The minor minister is deeply moved by this and does not dare to have the slightest resentment."
"It's better spoken than sung!"
Zhu Qiyu sneered: "Since you are not dissatisfied with me, why did you instruct Du Ying of your Yue family to secretly build ordnance and raise a private army in his garden in order to plot rebellion?"
"ah?"
The king of Jingzhou was surprised.
He quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, it is clear that Wei Chen knows nothing! Wei Chen is wronged!"
"How is it unjust? How dare you say it is unjust when the evidence is solid?"
Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly: "Are you waiting for you to attack Fengtian Palace and sit on the throne before you can admit it openly?"
"Since ancient times, which rebel would admit it to himself?"
"Somebody come!"
"Arrest the King of Jingzhou!"
"Hang up and whip!"
Zhu Qiyu's face was ferocious: "And you guys, who is raising private soldiers in the capital? Surrender yourself voluntarily, and I will keep you alive!"
Kings, you look at me and I look at you, they are all confused.
"I don't know!" All the kings bowed to the ground.
"Of course you won't say it!"
"Dongchang found five hundred private soldiers at Ding Quan's house!"
"You don't know who Ding Quan is, do you?"
"Ask the King of Jingzhou!"
"He knows better than anyone else!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "A large-scale ordnance manufacturing factory was found in Du Ying's mansion again. Who is Du Ying? The King of Jingzhou knows it very well, right?"
"Hmph, it's all based on evidence. You, the King of Jingzhou, still dare to complain to me?"
"Do you treat everyone in the world as a fool?"
"Crack him! Beat him to death!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly: "Pass the decree to take back the throne of Jingzhou King Zhu Guixuan. I and my whole family will be rid of the jade plate and change their surname to Pig!"
"He himself will be whipped to death!"
"The family members were brought into the Central Capital and imprisoned, never to be released!"
ah?
All the kings were shocked.
Even Emperor Jianwen never treated the vassal king like this!
But the emperor, with just one word, would have a county king whipped to death, his jade plate removed, his surname changed, and his family euphemistically called it confinement, but in fact, he was thrown into Zhongdu and starved to death!
The emperor's heart is clearly revealed!
He is not cutting off the feudal clan!
But let the feudal king die!
Now he is the King of Jingzhou, what’s next?
Don’t forget, a few months ago, the King of Jingzhou was the King of Liao!
He was demoted from prince to county king and directly took the lives of his entire family.
The rabbit dies and the fox is sad.
When the emperor forced the kings to enter the capital, the kings did not dare to delay.
After entering the capital, he was beaten and beheaded by the emperor, his fiefdom was lost, and his whole family was detained in the capital.
Then the clan generals were forced into the capital.
Then all the close relatives of the clan were forcibly conscripted into the capital.
Step by step.
Boil crabs over high heat.
Until now, the clan has become a fat pig and has no power at all.
The emperor began to kill people.
Just accuse him casually and start killing without substantial evidence.
The clan members looked at the older feudal king eagerly.
If we don't unite, we will be killed next!
King Zhou gritted his teeth and stepped forward: "Your Majesty, you must at least have evidence to punish King Jingzhou."
The King of Jingzhou who was hung up cast a grateful look at King Zhou.
His mouth was blocked and nothing could come out.
"What do you mean, King Zhou?" Zhu Qiyu looked over.
King Zhou was stabbed and asked a trauma doctor to treat him. However, the scar on his back was still in severe pain.
Now my body is hunched over, and even if I bend over and kowtow, if the wound is touched, it will cause severe pain.
"Your Majesty is the head of the royal family, and it is natural for him to punish the King of Jingzhou. However, please let the King of Jingzhou die clearly!"
King Zhou said respectfully.
"Why don't you understand?" Zhu Qiyu looked at him with a gloomy face.
King Zhou gritted his teeth and said: "Evidence, I want to see the evidence!"
"I have the Constitution of Heaven in my mouth, and my words follow the law. Isn't what I say evidence evidence?"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "What evidence do you want me to produce? Huh? King Zhou?"
"Does it take waiting until the King of Jingzhou leads his private troops to invade the Fengtian Palace and sits on the Dragon Throne before it can be considered as evidence?"
"It's still said that the King of Jingzhou rebelled, and you, the King of Zhou, are responsible for it!"
"You've had enough of being a vassal king, and you also want to be an emperor, right?"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Dream!"
"smoke!"
"I want to see who dares to rebel!"
Snapped!
The eunuch swung his long whip and struck the King of Jingzhou.
King Jingzhou's mouth was gagged, but he still let out a shrill scream from his throat.
"Your Majesty, I don't dare to question Your Majesty." King Zhou looked horrified and deliberately brought all the kings with him.
"Don't you dare?"
Zhu Qiyu snorted: "Then are you farting?"
"The dignified prince of the clan does not regulate himself or control the clan, but instead questions my words!"
"Why do you want to be a vassal king? Just go back and raise pigs!"
Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up from the chair: "You want evidence."
"Okay, I'll give you the evidence!"
Feng Xiao came down from the door and handed the secret report of the factory guard to the King of Zhou.
"Dongchang's secret report, does it count as evidence?" Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly.
King Zhou didn’t dare to look!
Secret performance, only the emperor can read it!
He is the vassal king, and if he dares to read the secret memorial, he will admit to himself that his treasonous intention is clearly exposed!
Especially the muffled sound of King Jingzhou was heard.
His mouth was gagged, the whip fell on his body, and inhuman screams came from his throat.
"Wei Chen is guilty!"
King Zhou prostrated on the ground: "I just don't want the clan members to kill each other, so I have offended Your Majesty!"
King Ning, King Shu and others gritted their teeth and said, "Your Majesty, as the head of the clan, King Zhou is justified in protecting the clan."
King Qin and King Qing also stood up to speak for King Zhou.
King Zhou was relieved.
Other kings also chimed in.
Killing a Jingzhou king would unite all the kings.
Zhu Qiyu's face remained unchanged.
"Kings, don't be impatient."
"I am not an emperor who cannot listen to advice."
Zhu Qiyu smiled and said: "If the King of Jingzhou had not had the intention to rebel, I would not have punished him so severely."
"The King of Zhou spoke for the clan because he had family honor and disgrace in his heart."
"I'm very pleased."
King Zhou was stunned, was the emperor praising him?
"But for the clan to flourish, the most important thing is harmony. Only when the hearts are together and the energy is used together can the clan prosper."
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "The king of Jingzhou rebelled and destroyed the harmony of the clan."
"King Zhou, you are the head of the clan. It is up to you to whip the King of Jingzhou yourself until he is killed!"
Here you go again?
King Zhou's expression changed, he was speaking for King Jingzhou.
How could he become the emperor's accomplice?
The eunuch who was whipping stopped, came over and handed the whip to King Zhou.
"Your Majesty..." King Zhou didn't want to accept the whip.
"King Zhou, for the sake of peace among the royal family, I have troubled you." Zhu Qiyu said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, wait!"
King Qing took a few steps and knelt in front of him: "The King of Zhou is the elder of the clan, how can he bear to kill his own flesh and blood? What's more, the King of Zhou is injured and should not work."
Zhu Qiyu didn't expect that Prince Qing would be so bold and dare to stand up.
"Then please ask Prince Qing to do it for you."
King Qing quickly kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Wei Chen is not in good health. The doctor told Wei Chen not to overwork himself."
"Then you point to a person and let him do it."
Zhu Qiyu was not going to let him go.
Prince Qing was roasted on the fire. Looking around, everyone lowered their heads, not wanting to be the one who stood out.
He pointed to Zhu Haolei, a auxiliary general of the Liao vassal and the concubine of Mayang King Zhu Guili.
King Mayang died during the Zhengtong Dynasty. Although Zhu Haolei was a general of the Liao vassal, he had no backer. Now that the King of Jingzhou committed a crime, it was very reasonable for him to let the people of the Liao vassal personally enforce the family law.
Zhu Haolei was kneeling very far away.
When he was brought up, he was stunned when he heard that King Qing suggested that his majesty should carry out the flogging himself.
The King of Jingzhou was the original King of Liao and the leader of his branch.
In the past, Zhu Haolei was also a general who controlled the country. In anger, the emperor cut his title and demoted him to the rank of general supporting the country.
Standing in front of the King of Jingzhou, Zhu Haolei was heartbroken.
The hanging King of Jingzhou has not been beaten to death.
He turned his head and saw the trembling Zhu Haolei. His eyelids twitched. The emperor was so cruel. He used his vassal general to whip him to death.
Murder and heart-wrenching!
Snapped!
Zhu Haolei played with his eyes closed.
His whip was light, and the unlucky one was the King of Jingzhou.
The eunuch might be able to whip the King of Jingzhou to death with seventy or eighty strokes, but if Zhu Haolei were to whip him, it would probably take several hours.
"The King of Zhou dares to speak out for the clan, and he is worthy of being a role model for the clan."
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "There is a rebellion in that clan. May I ask King Zhou how to deal with it?"
King Zhou was stunned, haven't you already dealt with it?
Is anyone else involved?
"As long as the evidence is conclusive, I will definitely support your majesty!" King Zhou was playing a trick.
"The patrol battalion was at Yu Xiang's house and found a crossbow machine!"
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "Whose relative is Yu Xiang? Stand up for yourself!"
Prince Ning trembled all over while watching the play.
He slowly crawled out and said tremblingly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, Yu Xiang is Wei Chen's mother-in-law."
"Are you sure he's your uncle? I didn't accuse you wrongly!"
"He has a crossbow hidden in his house, what is he doing?"
"Will you support Prince Ning to ascend the throne?"
"Why don't all the good kings want to be kings, so they have to worry about me as the dragon chair?"
"What do you think I am?"
"Sima Dezong? Or Sima Zhong?"
"This is the Ming Dynasty, not the stupid dynasty of the Jin Dynasty!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Come here, hang Prince Ning up and beat him!"
The kings were horrified.
"Wei Chen is wronged! Wei Chen is wronged!"
Prince Ning kept kowtowing: "Although Yu Xiang is Wei Chen's uncle, Wei Chen has very little contact with his family. Many people can vouch for Wei Chen!"
The kings did not dare to help rashly.
King Zhou glanced at the emperor secretly.
How much evidence does the emperor have?
Could it be that the sudden closure of the nine gates of the capital was related to the King of Jingzhou's conspiracy to rebel?
The problem is that the King of Jingzhou is just a useless snack. Can he rebel?
No one believes it either.
Could it be that the real rebel was King Ning?
"Your Majesty, what if Yu Xiang just hid a few crossbows for hunting!" King Qing spoke for King Ning.
King Qing was helpless because his silly son Zhu Suokan hung out with King Ning every day.
King Ning's rebellion was confirmed, and his foolish son could not escape.
When his son goes in, can Prince Qing keep his father?
"Do you have more than a hundred crossbows in your possession to hunt your King Qing?"
"When did the Great Ming Law write that crossbows can be used for hunting?"
"Um?"
Zhu Qiyu asked back: "Or are you, Prince Qing, also involved in the conspiracy?"
King Qing was shocked. There were more than a hundred crossbows, were they used to attack the city?
"We are loyal to Your Majesty, as can be seen from the sun and the moon!" King Qing exclaimed.
"The sun and moon can be seen, but I can't see them. What's the use?"
Zhu Qiyu snorted: "Yu Xiang has more than a hundred crossbows in his private possession, Ding Quan's house has five hundred dead soldiers, and Du Ying's house has an underground arsenal."
"What are they going to do?"
"Can a person named Yu, a person named Ding, or a person named Du be able to ascend to the throne? Can they ascend the throne and proclaim themselves emperor?"
"I think it was you who ordered him to secretly recruit soldiers and privately manufacture ordnance!"
"Some of you are plotting a rebellion!"
"Arrest Prince Ning first!"
"Whip!"
Zhu Qiyu roared: "Kings, please open your eyes wide and take a look, I'm not dead yet!"
"A few months ago, I reminded you in Qianqing Palace!"
"This country belongs to me!"
"It's not what you're waiting for!"
"How can you, a bunch of trash, try to disgrace your position?"
"Can I agree?"
"Can Tian Wenwu agree?"
"I reminded you back then, stop all the thoughts you shouldn't have!"
"The results of it?"
"He secretly hid crossbows, secretly recruited dead soldiers, and privately manufactured ordnance. Okay, I want to see who is so brave!"
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were serious: "Prince Qing, don't you want to prove your loyalty to me?"
"I'll give you a chance."
"You come to execute me!"
King Qing trembled all over.
Prince Ning had been caught by two eunuchs, tied with thick ropes, and hung to the Fengtian Gate.
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
Prince Ning kept shaking his head: "Your Majesty, although Yu Xiang is Wei Chen's uncle, after the death of his mother-in-law, Wei Chen has no contact with him anymore. Please give me your Majesty's advice!"
King Qing held a whip and stood in front of King Ning.
Reluctant to take action.
"I know how to quibble!"
Zhu Qiyu snorted coldly: "Take out the secret memorial from the patrol camp and read it!"
The patrol battalion just sent a secret report.
Tang Xu arrested Princess Ning's Xiao family and found two kilograms of saltpeter and more than a hundred kilograms of pig iron from the Xiao family's house.
"It's unfair, it's unfair!"
King Ning argued: "Wei Chen pursues immortality and seeks Taoism, and wants to refine alchemy elixirs and become immortals in conjunction with Taoism. The saltpeter is used to refine elixirs, and the pig iron is used to cast elixir furnaces. Wei ministers have registered it with Shuntian Mansion! Everything is there. It’s well documented!”
This slippery guy!
Cao Jixiang does things sloppily.
Why don't you just get a few hundred kilograms of saltpeter from Xiao's house, hide some more crossbows and armor, and that's it?
Zhu Qiyu could tell at a glance that something was wrong with Cao Jixiang's tricks.
But his purpose was to kill King Ning.
It's a good use of the topic.
Zhu Qiyu smiled suddenly: "If I say one thing, you have a hundred words waiting for me!"
"Okay, as you said, saltpeter is used to make elixirs, and pig iron is used to make elixir furnaces."
"You want to become an immortal!"
"I will help you!"
"Come here, get two pounds of saltpeter!"
"I will see with my own eyes how Prince Ning makes elixirs!"
Zhu Qiyu looked at Prince Qing who was reluctant to take action: "Prince Qing, why don't you take action?"
The king of Jingzhou was gagged.
However, King Ning was protected by King Qing and his mouth was not blocked.
Snapped!
King Qing whipped down.
"Didn't you eat?"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Go to the eunuch and stand behind King Qing. If he doesn't use force, beat him!"
King Qing trembled and dropped the whip in his hand to the ground.
Snapped!
The eunuchs at the back don't care about that.
A whip struck King Qing.
King Qing fell to the ground and twitched in pain. The whip was so painful!
When he beat King Ning, the thunder was loud and the raindrops were light, so no one could be hurt.
But the eunuch whipped him, King Qing, and his skin and flesh were torn with one whip, and he could be whipped to death!
But Zhu Haolei, who was drawing the King of Jingzhou, trembled and quickly increased his efforts to draw the King of Jingzhou.
The King of Jingzhou had already fainted from the pain. He was whipped by Zhu Haolei a few times and woke up again. He whined and screamed so hard that Zhu Haolei couldn't stand it anymore.
Snapped!
King Qing received another whip.
It hurts my heart.
"S-stop slapping him, I-I'll hit him!" Prince Qing's whole face was distorted.
He slowly got up, gripped the whip handle tightly, and whipped hard.
"ah!"
Prince Ning screamed heartbreakingly.
A diagonal whip mark pulled the prince's crown robe away, and the whip mark was clearly visible.
The emperor is so cruel.
Let King Qing whip him, and let the eunuch whip King Qing.
"Wei Chen is wronged!" Prince Ning screamed in agony.
At this time, a eunuch brought saltpeter from the weapons bureau.
Two pounds of saltpeter, wrapped in paper bags.
"Feed to Prince Ning!"
Zhu Qiyu said lightly.
"Your Majesty, you can't eat this!" Prince Ning shook his head.
Saltpeter is the main raw material for making gunpowder.
Moreover, the saltpeter was dug out from the walls of the toilets.
"Isn't alchemy also for eating? What's the point of eating it dry?"
"I am helping you become an immortal and go to see Emperor Taizong."
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Hey!"
The eunuch lowered the rope, held down King Ning, opened his mouth, and stuffed the food into his mouth.
Prince Ning kept shaking his head.
Saltpeter fell to the ground.
The eunuch could only fix Prince Ning's head and stuff it inside.
"Rare..."
King Ning's mouth was filled with saltpeter.
Eunuch He Zhien held his mouth to prevent him from spitting out.
He Zhien was an imperial eunuch who was originally a rough eunuch. He was promoted by the emperor because of his loyalty.
When King Qing saw that the situation was not good, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "Your Majesty, if you take too much saltpeter, you will die!"
"You're quite worried about him."
"He used so much saltpeter to make elixir, why didn't he consider that he would die?"
"Why are you so worried about him?"
Zhu Qiyu asked him: "Prince Qing?"
How many times is it used?
King Qing didn’t dare to say anything.
"Your Majesty, after all, Prince Ning's crime is not worthy of death. Please have mercy, Your Majesty!" Prince Qing prostrated on the ground.
It seems that Prince Qing is determined to wear a pair of trousers with Prince Ning.
“Does sin not lead to death?”
"He deserves to die just for these two pounds of saltpeter!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Why does he need saltpeter? Isn't it just to make a fire gun?"
"Don't think that I am a fool! Don't think that Lord Gonggun is a fool!"
"Don't mention the alchemy. You need two pounds of saltpeter to make the elixir!"
"Made into a firearm, what is he going to do?"
"Don't you understand?"
"Fill!"
"I want to see if he will die if he eats two pounds of saltpeter!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "Since King Qing helped to plead for mercy, let King Qing feed him!"
"He Zhien, give it to Prince Qing to feed!"
Prince Qing really wanted to beat himself to death.
But he wanted to beat his stupid son to death even more, so why did he want to get involved with Prince Ning!
It’s over!
After King Ning dies, he will be next!
He Zhien handed the spoon to King Qing.
King Qing trembled.
Seeing King Ning's extremely painful expression, King Qing became even more frightened. His hand shook and a spoonful of saltpeter fell to the ground.
"If it falls on the ground, let King Qing eat it!"
The emperor's cold voice came.
King Qing sniffed and burst into tears.
"Who else wants to intercede for Prince Ning?"
Zhu Qiyu glanced at the clan: "In order to build a palace for you, I have exhausted all the financial resources in the world and recruited millions of people!"
"This is to make your stay in Beijing more comfortable!"
"I'm worried about you being lonely!"
"I will send all your relatives to the capital!"
"For the generals in the clan, I allow them to take imperial examinations and serve as officials and butlers."
"I ask myself, I have done my utmost to be kind and righteous to you!"
"But you dare to be disloyal to me!"
"What? Just because your surname is Zhu, can you have thoughts that you shouldn't have?"
"ah?"
Zhu Qiyu said slowly: "The decree is that King Ning will rebel, seize the throne, banish the jade plate, take back the surname Zhu, and take back all rewards."
"He himself was beaten to death, his children were imprisoned in Fengyang, the central capital, his wife and concubines were killed, and his servants were sent to Rehe and demoted to military households."
"If his daughter marries someone else, the princess will kill her, her children will die, and her mother-in-law will be exiled to Rehe."
"Those involved will be thrown into Rehe and demoted to military households!"
Having said this, Zhu Qiyu glanced at the kings: "Do you regret it this time?"
"I originally didn't want to care about you bastards."
"Let you enjoy wealth and honor in the capital!"
"But if you insist on plotting a rebellion, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
The clan trembled.
King Ning was poured in two pounds of saltpeter, but he was still alive.
"Water!" Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense.
He Zhien immediately asked someone to get water from the tank, and then poured it on Prince Ning.
There was a crash!
Prince Ning began to emit white gas.
There is more and more white gas.
His person quickly became rigid.
He Zhien began to pour it into his mouth.
The ice crystals first formed in the belly and then spread outward.
Almost instantly, King Ning froze into an ice sculpture, lifelike.
"Your Majesty, it's frozen!" He Zhien knelt on the ground, feeling terrified.
Prince Ning has been frozen into an ice sculpture, and the expression on his face before his death is still clearly visible.
The clan's internal organs are all frightened.
This scene can simply scare someone to death.
King Qing saw with his own eyes that King Ning turned into an ice sculpture. If he himself ate saltpeter, would he also become an ice sculpture?
King Ning died so tragically!
Wow!
The ice cubes on King Ning's body broke into pieces and shattered on the ground.
The weather was hot and the ice melted quickly.
Blood began to flow out.
The dark red blood showed that Prince Ning was completely dead.
Prince Ning's four sons collapsed when they saw their father freezing to death.
Several Ning Fan princes, including those who had a bad relationship with Prince Ning, were all frightened at this moment and felt compassion.
The emperor is too vicious.
This is the prince!
If you say kill, kill!
Not only killing, but also killing cruelly and violently!
The kings died tragically, will the people of the world still respect the royal family?
Aren't you afraid that your descendants will also be killed like this?
The clan members were lying on the ground, secretly crying.
"Where is King Yiyang?"
"Reporting to your majesty, King Yiyang was deprived of the throne by your majesty because of his bad behavior." King Zheng reminded.
"Is there any evidence?" Zhu Qiyu didn't even want to mention this scum.
"Your Majesty, I don't know!" How could Prince Zheng know?
Zhu Qiyu looked at Feng Xiao. Jinyiwei didn't check at all. Feng Xiao shook his head.
"Let's put them to death together."
"You are a scumbag who violates human ethics, and his mother killed the nine tribes!"
"The reputation of the royal family has been ruined by these bastards!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted sharply: "Zhu Diexu takes back the surname Zhu. He is not worthy of the surname Zhu. I will be quartered on five horses. His children will all be sent to the central capital and imprisoned. His daughter will also die."
"There is no such scum in Lao Zhu's family!"
"If this person is removed from the clan records, King Ning Xian cannot afford to lose this person!"
"Let's simply kill all his descendants!"
"Erase this person completely. No future generations will be allowed to record or review it!"
"Any objection?"
Everyone in the clan was shocked.
The royal family will not kill anyone unless they rebel and commit rebellion.
This is also the last authority of the clan and the highest immunity.
The emperor wanted to take it back.
The royal family can be killed even if they don't rebel!
Everything depends on the emperor's will.
How will the clan live in the future?
"Your Majesty, Zhu Diansi's heirs are not guilty after all."
"It's Taizu's bloodline again."
"How can we be like ordinary people and kill at will?"
The king of Zhou spoke for the clan.
All the clan members looked at him gratefully.
The power in the clan is getting smaller and smaller, and this immunity must not be lost, otherwise the emperor can kill the clan according to his will.
"King Zhou is right."
"The clan members cannot be killed casually."
"But is Zhu Dianshan still the Zhu family?"
Zhu Qiyu asked: "Since Zhu Diansu's surname was taken back, can his descendants still be surnamed Zhu?"
"Your Majesty, it can't be calculated like this..." King Zhou defended.
"Since the King of Zhou cares so much about his clan brothers, why don't he kill Zhu Diansu and put him in your home and live in your inner house? Would the King of Zhou be willing to do so?"
Zhu Qiyu asked.
King Zhou felt like he had eaten shit.
That guy didn't even let his mother go. How could he let his wives and concubines go?
"Your Majesty is joking." Of course King Zhou was not willing.
"You have no joke!"
Zhu Qiyu said coldly: "Let Zhu Duanxi live in your inner house. Let me see if in a few years, the Prince of Zhou's Mansion will add a new entrance?"
King Zhou was dumbfounded.
How old is he and he has a son?
Some also belong to others.
"The humble minister made a mistake, please forgive me!" King Zhou was frightened.
"Do unto others, do not impose on others!"
Zhu Qiyu shouted: "You force me to do something you don't even want to do?"
"how?"
"You are the only one who is afraid of embarrassment. Aren't the old Zhu family afraid of embarrassment?"
"I think you are an old fool!"
"Get off!"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly shouted.
King Zhou shrank his head, kowtowed, took a few steps back, and knelt down.
"King Le'an and King Shicheng, do you two have any objections?" Zhu Qiyu looked at the two remaining princes of Ning Fan.
In the huge Ning Fan, there were only four princes left to support the lintel.
"I have no objection!" The two of them dared to say anything.
"King Yichun, King Xinyi, where are you two?"
Zhu Qiyu looked at the other two princes of Ning Fan.
"I will only obey your Majesty's orders!" The two of them are the kings of the distant branch of Ning Fan, and Zhu Dianpei's branch is the direct descendant of the recent branch.
"Are all Zhu Dianxi's heirs here?"
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "You four, each of you will be divided into one and killed!"
He likes to use his relatives to kill his relatives.
The four princes of Ning Fan trembled all over.
With the blood of their loved ones on them, can they still enjoy their wealth?
"how?"
"Have a grudge?"
Zhu Qiyu said calmly: "Don't worry, Zhu Diansu and his family not only want to get rid of the clan, they are not even allowed to record it in historical materials. The Ming Dynasty cannot afford to lose this person!"
"So you kill people with merit and no fault."
"Do it!"
A eunuch sent four waist knives.
King Le'an and the other four kings tremblingly picked up the knife and attacked their nephew.
There was a burst of crying in the clan.
Brothers hate each other.
The emperor has completely taken the initiative, and from now on he can kill the kings as he wants.
After killing the people, the four kings knelt on the ground: "I have completed your Majesty's mission!"
Zhu Qiyu smiled: "King Le'an, your Yue family is not very honest either."
King Le'an trembled all over.
What does it have to do with me?
"Du Ying secretly manufactured ordnance, and your wife's uncle Song Qian was also an accomplice."
Zhu Qiyu smiled: "In fact, this Du Ying was confessed by Song Qian."
Plop!
King Le'an was all over his body and lay directly on the ground.
Song family!
Damn bitches, why are you hurting me?
"Your Majesty clearly knows that the minister has stopped interacting with Song Qian for a long time." King Le'an explained.
"But he is your uncle-in-law after all." How could Zhu Qiyu let him go?
King Le'an broke down and cried: "Song Qian committed a crime, please handle it according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, but the minor ministers will not interfere in the slightest, please tell your Majesty clearly!"
"In terms of closeness, you and him are closer than me and you."
"He was involved in stealing ordnance from the military."
"It's hard for me not to doubt that you were also involved."
Zhu Qiyu sighed: "But you are the county king after all. I will not kill you without conclusive evidence."
"Just go to the patrol camp first and let the patrol camp find out."
"If you are not guilty, I will naturally reward you."
"If you also participated, Prince Ning would be your best example!"
King Le'an trembled all over.
In the patrol camp's prison, are there any who have gone in and come out?
Known as the most terrifying prison in the capital!
There are many innocent souls of enlightened monks inside.
If King Le'an goes in, he will definitely die.
"I thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!" King Le'an also wanted to thank you.
It wasn't him who was really frightened.
But Zhu Jinxiang, he is Song Qian's nephew. His uncle is guilty. Can he inherit the throne of the county?
"Kings!"
"It took just one day to check, just the tip of the iceberg."
"The situation found out shocked me."
Zhu Qiyu said quietly: "I found that the imperial court was too lenient and too harsh towards the clan."
"The so-called leniency means that you are enjoying wealth and honor in vain."
"It's strict, and you are not allowed to serve as officials or generals, so you have nowhere to display your ambitions."
"You can only be a piglet throughout your life, being raised, fattened, and raised to death."
Zhu Qiyu let out a long breath: "I am also a vassal king who succeeded to the throne, and I know the hardships of the vassal king."
"The feudal prince has an eighth-level title."
"But the beauty of a gentleman will be cut off in five lifetimes."
"I have decided to reform the sect!"
"There are no longer titles under the generals of the auxiliary state. Although their surname is Zhu, they are no longer affiliated with the clan."
"You can take part in the imperial examination, you can become a general at the border, and there are no restrictions in the court."
One word!
It cut off 90% of the clan’s livelihood!
"His Majesty!"
King Zhou lamented: "The clan has been raised by the dynasty for hundreds of years, and they no longer know how to work!"
"Now that you are expelling them from the clan, how will they live?"
"I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and allow the clan to survive!"
All the kings kowtowed.
This can benefit everyone.
The grandson of the county king will assist the general of the country, and the next son will leave the clan.
How are your days?
Not all clans want to rebel and become emperor.
More often than not, they just want to wait for death and enjoy wealth in vain!
But the emperor did not want the country to support them.
"Your Majesty, please have mercy. Taizu established the eighth-level title for the sake of the descendants of the clan!" King Zheng also knelt on the ground and shouted to dissuade him.
All the existing princes were against it.
The county king followed suit and objected.
Sad cries came from the clan behind.
Zhu Qiyu looked down coldly and said slowly: "When you are planning a rebellion, you have nothing to fear from heaven and earth!"
"Now that you have asked for me, are you afraid of this or that?"
"snort!"
"I just abolished a few useless titles."
"The response was thunderous and everyone was against me?"
Zhu Qiyu looked down at the kings with a strange tone.
"I dare not oppose His Majesty!"
King Zheng immediately said: "King Ning and King Jingzhou rebelled, and they deserve what they deserve! I support your majesty in punishing the lawless clan!"
"However, if Your Majesty cancels the title in a hurry, the clan will be released to serve the people."
"They don't know how to make a living. Going out is like waiting to die."
"Do you have the heart to let your clan brothers starve to death outside your home?"
King Zheng cried.
He was very smart. He first identified King Ning and King Jingzhou to prove that the emperor was correct in judging the case and that the emperor was wise and powerful.
Everyone is dead anyway.
There is no benefit in overturning the verdict for them.
It's better to use them as a stepping stone and ask the emperor to take back his orders.
"Can I have the heart to let the people of the world support these wastes?"
Zhu Qiyu asked back: "I am the head of the royal family, but I am also the king and father of all the people in the world. The palms of my hands and the backs of my hands are all flesh. How do you want me to choose?"
King Qing wailed: "The vassalage was decided by Taizu, your majesty, please think twice!"
"Take Emperor Taizu to suppress me?" Zhu Qiyu sneered.
"Your Majesty, I would never dare to use Emperor Taizu to suppress Your Majesty."
"Wei Chen just wants to say that Emperor Taizu formulated the vassal system because he cared about his descendants."
"In the final analysis, it is for the Zhu family to thrive!"
King Qing said immediately.
Are you stupid?
The current vassal system was established by Emperor Taizong.
Taizu will not bear this responsibility.
"Since the kings are against it."
Zhu Qiyu's tone softened: "Then it will not be abolished for the time being, but its descendants will no longer take over the title."
The kings were stunned, the emperor actually compromised?
"but!"
Zhu Qiyu changed the topic: "These clans will no longer be recorded in the jade disc!"
"Aren't you worried that they don't have the skills to make a living?"
"The Ming Dynasty established a huge territory in Mobei, but there happened to be no one to look after it."
"Let these people go to Hanzhou Dusi, Jilin Dusi, and Yuerhai Dusi, and continue to be masters there."
boom!
The clan that was kneeling on the ground immediately exploded.
The emperor is sending the clan directly to death!
The clan members kneeling behind burst into tears.
In the hearts of the Han people, Mobei is not a place for people to live. Living there is not as good as digging a hole in the Central Plains.
Even if you die!
Many clans have made up their minds.
"Wei Chen is willing to leave the clan!"
There was a clan member who crawled out, walked far away, near Fengtian Gate, and said loudly.
"What's your name?" Zhu Qiyu asked.
"Wei Chen Zhu Biaochen!"
When Zhu Qiyu heard the name, he knew he was from the Jin Dynasty.
At this time, Ninghua King Zhu Meirang climbed out and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. This is Zhu Biaochun, the direct grandson of a humble minister. He is talking nonsense!"
King Ninghua was very respectful. In the third year of Jingtai, after his father died and he ascended the throne, he wanted to go to the capital to pay homage, but Zhu Qiyu refused.
"Wei Chen is willing to leave the clan and make a living on his own!" Zhu Biaomin said loudly.
"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense!" King Ning Hua became anxious.
Zhu Biaoqian wanted to be the king of the county, but this fool didn't even want the throne.
Why are you going to be a bastard? Are you sick?
Zhu Qiyu narrowed his eyes and asked with great interest: "Why do you want to leave the clan?"
Zhu Biaofan kowtowed and said seriously: "It's really uncomfortable when the prince is really restrained, suspected by your majesty, and stared at by the censor."
"Moreover, Wei Chen has great ambitions."
"I want to kill for the officials!"
"Your Majesty, please grant me your permission!"
Zhu Qiyu slowly stood up and waved: "Come closer and say it again."
Zhu Biaocheng walked a few steps on his knees, approached Fengtian Gate, and said loudly: "I want to serve as an official but not a cowardly prince!"
"Hahaha!"
"Who said there is no one in Lao Zhu's family!"
Zhu Qiyu laughed: "Zhu Biaofan, you are very ambitious!"
"I ask you, do you dare to take part in the imperial examination?"
"Weichen has been studying since he was a child and didn't dare to waste a day. Now he is twenty-four and has long wanted to enter the examination room to compete!" Zhu Biaofan kowtowed.
"Okay, next year I will give you Enke, and you can directly take part in the examination."
"If you become a Jinshi in high school, I will allow you to leave the clan."
"If you want to serve as an official, you can!"
Zhu Qiyu looked around the clan: "You guys, if you want to be successful, learn from Zhu Biaochun!"
"I let you leave the clan."
"This is to give you a broader stage!"
"Let you stand on the Fengtian Palace, let you gallop outside the territory!"
"Think it over when you get back."
"Those who want to enjoy the title of Mobei should leave as soon as the city gate opens."
"If you want to serve as an official, you should learn from Zhu Biaocheng."
Zhu Qiyu was determined to get rid of most of the clan.
There were too many people in the clan, and he couldn't guard against them.
The original intention was to release a batch of them to Mobei.
But these people are smart and unwilling to go to Mobei to endure hardship.
Everyone wants to enjoy in the colorful world of the Central Plains.
"Your Majesty, not everyone is Zhu Biaochen!" King Zheng said quickly.
He was extremely dissatisfied with the emperor.
The entire clan was extremely dissatisfied with the emperor.
Emperor Gein is irresponsible.
First, he used the financial power of the commercial bank in exchange for the power of the local prince's palace.
Now after reducing the military power and local power of the palace.
Even immunity has been cut in half.
Now that I think there are too many people in the clan, I might as well fire some of them out.
Why are you, Zhu Qiyu, taking advantage of all the good things in the world?
Why!
