Zhu Cikai couldn't help shouting loudly at this time, looking at him with eyes like fire: "How could you do this! You are my husband!"
Xu Zhijue lowered his head and replied: "How can the love between teachers and students be greater than the love between the country and the nation?"
"You bastard!"
Zhu Cikai roared and said, "It's a shame that I keep thinking about entrusting you with important responsibilities in the future! It's a shame that I trust you so much!"
"Ah! I'm going to kill you!"
Zhu Cikai became furious and groped around on his body, as if he wanted to draw a gun.
But he handed over the gun long before he came in.
And at this time, Jin Yiwei also grabbed him.
He really didn't expect such a result.
"Xu Zhijue! You hide it so deeply!"
Fan Guangwen said calmly to Xu Zhijue, and then suddenly he rushed towards Xu Zhijue, grinning and saying: "You villain! I want to eat your flesh and drink your blood!"
Fortunately, Fan Guangwen and other felons were wearing heavy shackles and shackles, and were being escorted by Jinyi guards at all times, so they did not pounce on them.
Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "If you want to avoid getting stabbed a few times, just answer the question honestly!"
Fang Zhengyue was the first to answer at this time, but now he had given up completely and said: "We did make false confessions before, and everything Mr. Xu said is true."
"Fan Guangwen, what about you?"
Zhu Youxiao asked coldly.
Fan Guangwen smiled sadly and looked at Zhu Youxiao: "Yes, we did deliberately frame the fifth prince! I thought it was possible, but I didn't expect that you would find out. It's not a surprise. In this world It is inevitable that there are scholars who believe in your Zhu Youxiao theory of putting workers and peasants first, so there are talented people like Xu Zhijue who are willing to risk their lives to be your spy!"
"You are wrong, he is not my spy, he is the spy of the Han people in the world!"
Zhu Youxiao said and looked at Zhu Youji: "What about you."
Zhu Youji had been silent. Seeing Zhu Youxiao asking him, he suddenly shouted: "Your Majesty, spare your life!"
Zhu Youxiao was too lazy to pay attention anymore, and just looked at Zhu Cizhuo: "It seems that I have wronged you."
With that said, Zhu Youxiao looked at Zhu Cikai again: "Can you plead guilty?"
Zhu Cikai looked at Zhu Youxiao with rapid breathing and laughed: "I'm afraid you already knew the truth and did this deliberately to trick me back to the capital. Why are you so vicious! You even plot against your son!"
"Who made you choose a different belief from me! It's not that you don't understand the truth that I explained so painstakingly in the past, but you still chose another path! Unfortunately, I thought that you were true after you were transferred to Huangzhuang Farm. changed."
Zhu Youxiao said: "I have made up my mind. Since the truth is now known, Zhu Cikai will be dismissed from his official title. His original intention was to be sentenced to death for treason. However, considering his military merits, the merits and demerits were balanced, so he was immediately sentenced to death and executed by injection. , Keep the whole body! Execute it now, and immediately call the people from the Punishment Department to execute it!"
Zhu Cikai was shocked after hearing this.
The emperor's heirs and vassal kings couldn't help but hurriedly stood up to plead for mercy.
But Zhu Youxiao didn't listen, and only said: "The national law is ruthless! If we don't kill Zhu Cikai today, the national constitution will not be able to establish its majesty!"
Zhu Cikai cursed because of this: "Zhu Youxiao, you tyrant! You are more cruel than Grandfather Taizu, why did you even kill your son!"
"You know now that he is my son? When you committed these crimes, did you take my words to heart?!"
Zhu Youxiao asked loudly.
Suddenly, law enforcers from the Criminal Department rushed over.
Zhu Youxiao shouted: "Inject immediately and execute immediately!"
He was afraid that he would regret it after a while.
Only then did Zhu Cikai feel frightened, his breathing became more rapid, he started sweating profusely, and he couldn't help but shake his head like a rattle: "No, I don't want it, I am a noble man from Tianhuang, I don't want to die! Father!"
But the law enforcers from the Ministry of Punishment seemed afraid to execute it immediately.
Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao shouted: "Execute immediately!"
Only then did the law enforcers from the Ministry of Punishment inject poison into Zhu Cikai's body.
Zhu Cikai was still struggling and began to cry. Finally, his pupils dilated and he stopped moving.
Zhu Youxiao watched all this with tears, but his face was still serious, like a dragon roaring: "No matter who dares to harm the great people who unify the Han family, or dare to harm the great people of the nation, they will all end up like this! "
Zhu Youjian seemed to understand his imperial brother's psychology very well. He stood up first and replied: "My brother, please remember the emperor's teachings!"
"Please keep this in mind!"
Others also followed the instructions and responded.
Zhu Cizhuo and Zhu Ciwei watched this scene silently.
This scene shocked them too much.
Zhu Cizhuo naturally felt like he was surviving a disaster.
Zhu Ciwei, on the other hand, did not expect the reversal to come so quickly.
"The rest of the criminals will be sentenced to death! In addition, all the staff and scribes around Zhu Cikai will be shot for the crime of knowing and not reporting!"
Zhu Youxiao clenched his fists and staggered away from here, but as he was walking, he suddenly fainted and fell to the ground.
"His Majesty!"
"Brother Royal!"
"Father!"
Everyone shouted loudly.
…
"How is your father doing now?"
Zhu Youxiao fainted and fell to the ground before he could release Zhu Cizhuo, so Zhu Cizhuo was still detained where he was.
On this day, Wuya met him as usual.
Zhu Cizhuo asked about Wu Ya.
At present, the emperor's heir was originally killed for violating national laws, which was considered a major event in the Ming Dynasty that was enough to shock Yu Nei.
After all, this means that the criminal law is really majestic in safeguarding the interests of the Han family. No one can go unpunished, and it also makes everyone respect Zhu Youxiao even more.
However, because Zhu Youxiao suddenly fainted and fell to the ground, this hot spot was overshadowed by the emperor's sudden illness and serious illness.
It didn't make the headlines in major newspapers.
"I heard from Dr. Ye that he can't get out of bed now. Whether he can be saved or not depends on God's will."
Wu Ya replied.
Zhu Cizhuo said nothing after hearing this.
"Your Highness?"
"Why am I crying? That old guy hurt me so badly! I should hate him."
Zhu Cizhuo thought to himself and said, "You should go back first. I want to be quiet."
"I'll see you again tomorrow."
Wu Ya suddenly said one more thing.
"Um."
Then, the next day, Wu Ya came to see him again, but the two did not speak.
It wasn't until the end, when Wuya was about to leave, that she said: "I'm leaving."
"etc."
Zhu Cizhuo called out hurriedly.
Wuya stopped.
Zhu Cizhuo said: "I think I should not just be someone else's chess piece, but I should also resist the person who is playing chess. Can you, for me and for your foster father, go and meet a man named Zhang Dai? He will help You contact my big brother!"
Wu Ya asked: "Is it because of my current status?"
Zhu Cizhuo said: "We need you very much now! This may be what he meant."
"good!"
Wuya pondered for a moment and then replied.
…
"His Majesty is seriously ill now, and it will be a matter of time before he dies. We must take action before the eldest son and other princes take action!"
Huang Xigun said to Zhu Cican.
Since Zhu Youxiao became seriously ill, they no longer cared about the execution of the seventh son of the emperor, nor the execution of the staff and scribes around the seventh son of the emperor.
Even Zhu Youyi blatantly switched to Zhu Cican, because the emperor Zhu Youxiao was seriously ill and he no longer had any fear.
"That's right, there's no further delay! Your Highness!"
Zhu Youyi was still instigating Zhu Cican at this time.
"Your Highness, this is our last chance! At first, Duke An Guo gave you all the two thousand Miao slaves he had raised privately, so that you could place them in the army for your use. Now there happens to be one person serving as the commander-in-chief of the patrol battalion in Beijing. Bing, as long as you write a warrant, he will bring troops to assist you!"
Huang Xigun continued.
Zhu Cican said: "Then take action immediately and break into the palace, but you must remember that if you still meet my eldest brother and other clan members, don't let me bear the sin of killing my brothers and destroying the clan children! Therefore, for everyone in the clan, People can only be captured alive, not killed!"
"this……"
Huang Xigan was speechless.
The same goes for Zhu Youyi. He didn't expect that Zhu Cican would suddenly make such a request.
But the two of them thought that it was because Zhu Cican was such a kind person that people like them supported him, so they both nodded and said: "Yes!"
So, Zhu Youtong and Huang Xigan immediately left Zhu Cican's place.
…
"General Wu Ya means that when the time comes, she will only let you go in to see His Majesty first."
Zhang Dai was telling Zhu Ciwei what he knew from Wu Ya.
"This is great! Your Highness, this will give us a lot of room for maneuver."
Zhu Yougang, who supported Zhu Ciwei, said to Zhu Ciwei.
Zhu Ciwei said extremely calmly: "We can't just wait! After watching my father's rule for so many years, I finally understand that if you want to achieve anything in this world, you must rely on heaven, rely on Bodhisattvas, rely on ancestors, rely on wise men, and rely on parents. It’s useless, you still have to rely on yourself, you can’t just wait for others. Call all the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion who have fallen towards us, and my highness will personally take them to escort them!”
"good!"
Zhang Dai replied.
Therefore, Zhu Ciwei first brought thousands of officers and soldiers to the outside of the palace city.
Unfortunately, as soon as Zhu Ciwei led his troops outside the palace city, he saw Zhu Youtong and Huang Xigun also arriving with a general guard Qian Headquarters.
Zhu Youyi thought of Zhu Cican's words, telling him not to kill the royal family members and the emperor's heirs, so as not to expose Zhu Cican to injustice, so he shouted first: "Don't shoot yet! Prepare to capture the emperor's eldest son and the general who governs the country alive!"
Then, Zhu Youdi asked Zhu Ciwei loudly: "Emperor's eldest son, why are you leading so many officers and soldiers? Are you planning to rebel?"
boom!
However, Zhu Ciwei fired directly at Zhu Youyi, and the shot focused on Zhu Youyi's abdomen on the spot.
Zhu Youyi was shocked.
Zhu Ciwei was not worried about the sin of killing the clan, and because he thought that others would have doubts about Zhu Youyi's action, and would be worried about his own trouble in the future, he felt that it was better to do it himself.
Therefore, Zhu Ciwei fired a shot at Zhu Youdi first, and immediately hid behind a row of human walls, shouting: "These people want to rebel! Kill them all, leaving no one behind!"
Then, the people on Zhu Ciwei's side immediately started shooting.
Because Zhu Ciwei struck first, Zhu Youdi and Huang Xigun were caught off guard, and most of them were wiped out immediately, while the rest immediately threw their guns to the ground and knelt down to surrender.
Zhu Youyi covered his bloody abdomen and looked at Zhu Ciwei in shock: "Okay, you Zhu Ciwei, you really dare to be cruel!"
But Zhu Ciwei came over and put a gun on Zhu Youdi's head.
"You, I am your imperial uncle!"
boom!
Zhu Ciwei fired again.
Zhu Youyi had a hole in his head on the spot.
"Kill them all! Kill those who surrender too!"
Zhu Ciwei then ordered in a cold voice.
As a result, those who surrendered were also killed.
Zhu Ciwei did this to prevent anyone from telling anyone in the future what he had prepared for coming here today.
then.
Zhu Ciwei then walked towards the palace with Zhang Dai's men with guns in hand, and said: "Except for Zhang Dai and Zhu Yougang's Imperial Army Guard Qian Headquarters, the rest are guarding outside the palace!"
As soon as Zhu Ciwei arrived, the palace door opened automatically.
He knew this was because Wu Ya fell to him under Zhu Cizhuo's instruction.
Zhu Ciwei walked in, and he knew that from this moment on, it meant that he had won.
Next, it doesn't matter whether his name is written in the imperial edict or not.
If not.
It can be changed.
But at this time, Zhu Ciwei found that the palace door suddenly closed again.
And the lights suddenly brightened all around, like daylight.
Many officers and soldiers of the Imperial Guard Battalion came towards him with Mingzao Charge, and surrounded him, Zhu Yougun and others.
"How is this going?!"
Zhu Youguan couldn't help being shocked.
Zhang Daize said: "We should have been fooled. Why didn't we think that His Majesty might have recovered a long time ago and was pretending to be ill. It seems that we are still too eager to control that position in our own hands. "
Zhu Ciwei also gradually felt uneasy.
At this time, Wu Ya accompanied Zhu Youxiao and walked out.
As soon as Zhu Ciwei saw his father Zhu Youxiao, and then took a look at the people who surrounded him three levels inside and three outside, he understood instantly. He knelt down and said, "I heard that Zhu Youji colluded with the officers and soldiers of the patrol battalion to rebel. , I persuaded Zuo Zongzheng (Zhu Yougang) to lead his troops to escort him! Now that the rebels have been destroyed, please rest assured, father."
Zhu Ciwei hurriedly made up a reason, thinking to himself that he had no mercy just now and silenced everyone.
Otherwise, his lie will be easily exposed now.
"You're very kind!"
Zhu Youxiao said something and then said: "If you want to achieve something in this world, relying on heaven, relying on Bodhisattva, relying on ancestors, relying on wise men, relying on parents, it is useless, you still have to rely on yourself! You have done it, Better than the second child, you took the initiative to stand up and grab this position. If I hadn't pretended to be sick, you would have actually won."
Then, Zhu Youxiao threw the edict towards Zhu Ciwei: "Write your name on it yourself."
Zhu Ciwei was shocked. He was happy and moved when he saw the imperial edict that fell on the red wall.
Zhu Ciwei did not rush to get it, but kowtowed first and said: "Thank you, Father!"
Zhu Youxiao then said to Wu Ya: "Go and release Lao Wu."
"According to the order!"
Wu Ya replied.
Zhu Youxiao then said: "Wang Cheng'en, inform the ministers that tomorrow we will hold a rally and I will announce a big event. I am tired and don't want to worry about the world anymore. In addition, I should take advantage of the fact that I still have some time to let you... Practice your hands.”
"According to the order!"
Zhu Ciwei did not refuse, and then he asked Zhang Dai to write his name on the imperial edict.
Next, Zhu Cizhuo was also released.
Zhou Yuji was also released.
All were restored to official rank.
At the court meeting the next day, Zhu Youxiao announced the news that Zhu Ciwei would be crown prince and that he would abdicate the throne to Zhu Ciwei. He also ordered the Ministry of Rites to select an auspicious day to hold the abdication ceremony.
The second prince Zhu Cican soon learned that Zhu Youyi and others had failed, and that Zhu Ciwei had become the crown prince and was about to ascend the throne. He was greatly disappointed and said: "We still lost! Why did I still lose?!"
In the end, Zhu Cican chose to commit suicide.
Other criminals, Zhu Youji, Fan Guangwen, Fang Zhengyue, etc. will also receive the punishment they deserve next.
"pain!"
"It hurts!"
"Your Majesty, we were wrong. We should not have neglected our conscience and ignored the feelings of our compatriots. Please spare us! Woohoo!"
Zhu Youji, Fan Guangwen, Fang Zhengyue and others cried and shouted until the moment they died.
Soon after, Zhu Youxiao gave the Zen position to Zhu Ciwei.
The first decree issued by Zhu Ciwei was to enshrine Zhu Youxiao as the Supreme Emperor and Zhang Yan as the Empress Dowager.
And the two of them still live in Damingyuan.
And he himself changed to rule in Qianqing Palace.
"Your Majesty, please entrust me as soon as possible. I like Moscow."
Zhu Cizhuo immediately proposed the idea of enfeoffing the emperor after Zhu Ciwei ascended the throne.
Zhu Ciwei said: "I plan to make you an auxiliary minister to assist in governing. I don't want to think about leaving anymore."
"Why is this? You know that I don't like to stay in the capital. Why do you want to use me as a pawn?"
Zhu Cizhuo replied.
"Who told you to use it? There's no way."
Zhu Ciwei laughed as he spoke and comforted: "Okay! I really need you to help me with many big things now. After a trip to Europe, I finally understand that there will be many things in the future that require an international government agency. to handle many international affairs, such as health, economy, and peacekeeping. I intend to take advantage of the fact that the princes have not left Beijing to discuss the establishment of international health and environmental protection, international economic cooperation, international peacekeeping and other official offices. You My prestige among the vassal states is very high, so I naturally need your support."
Zhu Ciwei continued: "More importantly, I plan to let Wu Ya continue to serve as the staff general of the Imperial Guard Battalion. There is currently no one more suitable than her."
"But she's pregnant."
Zhu Cizhuo replied.
"Then we can't leave anymore."
…
Here, Zhu Youxiao met Zhu Youjian, Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yujian, Zhu Youlang, and Zhu Yihai behind the Zen throne. He smiled and said: "It's rare that you are still on my side."
Zhu Youxiao was really impressed by this, because these people were all famous in the original history.
"Have someone take a picture of us together."
Therefore, Zhu Youxiao gave an instruction with great interest: "Let the distinguished ministers Zhou Yuji and Lu Xiangsheng accompany you and take the photo together."
"Okay!"
Zhu Youjian and others replied.
Zhu Youxiao ordered: "Du Yinxi, you several ministers who have become ministers are also joining us! Go and invite the Queen, no, the Queen Mother is also here."
Du Yinxi therefore complied.
Therefore, the moment the Ming Dynasty camera clicked, Zhu Youxiao, Zhang Yan, Zhu Youjian, Zhu Yousong, Zhu Yujian, Zhu Youlang, Zhu Yihai, Lu Xiangsheng, Zhou Yuji, Zhang Tongchang, Du Yinxi and others were recorded group photo.
This group photo will undoubtedly be a very meaningful group photo for the Ming Dynasty for a long time to come.
After taking pictures, these people all staggered away from Zhu Youxiao's place.
Because Zhu Youxiao is indeed old and cannot be tired for too long.
After these people left, the snowflakes fell down like wisps of flakes.
"Your Majesty, it's snowing."
Zhang Yan supported Zhu Youxiao, raised her head, and said with a smile.
Zhu Youxiao touched her silver hair and said, "Go back to the house, we have been together until old age, and we no longer need to be exposed to the snow together in this life!"
"Why!"
Zhang Yan then smiled and Zhu Youxiao supported each other and walked towards the end of the red wall with red tiles on their backs.
