Zhu Yijun looked at the Queen Mother Li who appeared with a cold face, but he was not afraid. He had even guessed that the Queen Mother Li would definitely appear.
After all, the new policies such as clearing the father-in-law's land and acres harmed not only the interests of the bureaucrats, but also the interests of the royal relatives and other powerful people. Therefore, it was impossible for the royal relatives, such as the princess and the consort, not to report the news to the Queen Mother.
Zhu Yijun then asked calmly: "Why did the Queen Mother suddenly come to the front court on such a cold and snowy day?"
Empress Dowager Li ignored Zhu Yijun and only looked at Zhang Juzheng and Tan Lun: "Mr. Zhang, Tan Qing's family, since you two are in front of the emperor, are you just watching His Majesty do what you want?! Especially you, Mr. Zhang, the late emperor appointed you to take care of his life. Minister, I asked you to assist and teach His Majesty. Is this how you taught him? You actually asked him to issue an order to kill the ministers in Fuque outside and do what Zuo Shunmen did when he was unethical?!"
"Why do you have to say that, Queen Mother? This matter has nothing to do with you, sir, and it has nothing to do with Tan Qing. It is something I have to do for the New Deal!"
After Zhu Yijun said this, he cupped his hands to Empress Dowager Li and said, "I also ask your mother not to get involved in the previous government's affairs!"
After Zhu Yijun said so confidently, Queen Mother Li was stunned.
Then, Queen Mother Li actually laughed: "Okay, you have to take responsibility. Mr. Zhang didn't teach you for nothing!"
Immediately, Queen Mother Li looked at Zhu Yijun and said: "I am not involved in politics. I am just asking you, why do you want to kill them? Do you know that the ministers outside you want to kill are not necessarily traitorous ministers, but also loyal ministers, and yours Like sir?!"
"I can answer your mother's questions."
After Zhu Yijun said this, he replied: "They may be loyal ministers individually, but it does not mean that the entire party behind them is loyal to the court! It does not mean that they are as loyal ministers as Mr. Sir! And they as a whole are now preventing me from using Mr. Yong, Stop my restructuring and stop Ming Dynasty from getting out of trouble! Therefore, they as a whole must be severely punished. There will be no eggs left intact after overturning the nest. For them personally, the only fate they can accept is to be killed!"
"Moreover, if the blood of dozens of them is not shed for the reform now, in the future the people will rebel, dynasties will change, and the Hua barbarians will change their thrones, tens of millions of people will die! The streets will even be filled with the bones of officials, and it will be difficult to get rid of the evil smell in a hundred years. taste!"
"In short, it is better for these people to die than for the whole world to die in the future!"
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Li sneered: "You can kill them as you like. People in the world will not think that you, a young emperor who has not personally ruled the country, can be so cruel! But they will blame your mother and me for this sin! And you On Mr. Zhong!"
"And your aunt!"
Queen Mother Li suddenly shouted.
Then, Empress Dowager Li said again: "The virtues of benevolence and saintliness she gained in the outer court because she dared to remonstrate with the late emperor's debauchery will now be destroyed because of your willfulness, Zhu Yijun! Do you know that because she learned that you are now like this? Damn it, your aunt is so angry that she's already sick!"
"You are being unfilial!"
After Queen Mother Li finished speaking, she pointed at Zhu Yijun and started to shout.
Zhu Yijun's face remained unchanged, he looked forward and said: "Since ancient times, it has been difficult to have both loyalty and filial piety. Although I am a king, I still have my loyalty. What I am loyal to is the foundation of the ancestral temple of my ancestors and the country of the world!"
"Now, my husband and I are reorganizing the system for the sake of the ancestral temple's foundation and the common people of the country, and it has achieved results. We cannot give up halfway, so we can only ask my mothers and queens for your forgiveness first!"
Zhu Yijun said and added: "If the queens and mothers don't want to be implicated by me, they can just declare that they are not good at getting involved in politics because they follow the ancestral system, so they cannot stop it, and let the world know about it!"
"you!"
When Queen Mother Li heard what Zhu Yijun said, her lips and teeth trembled for a moment.
Zhu Yijun turned his back to Empress Dowager Li and said, "Please come back, Queen Mother! The former dynasty is not a place where Mother can stay for a long time, not to mention that there are still courtiers from other dynasties here!"
"Zhu Yijun! You are so unvirtuous and unfilial, are you going to force us to go to the Ancestral Temple to declare your death in front of our ancestors?!"
Queen Mother Li suddenly asked with tears in her eyes.
"If the Queen Mother really feels that I am unvirtuous and unfilial, and does not abide by the ancestral system, and wants to depose me, she can declare it herself, but this is not the place for the Queen Mother to stand now!"
Zhu Yijun said and looked at Qi Changguo, Li Rusong and others: "What are you doing standing still! Do you also want to disobey?!"
It turned out that because of the appearance of Empress Dowager Li, Qi Changguo and others, who were originally ordered to kill the civil servants outside, temporarily stopped where they were.
"Don't dare!"
Ma Guiwai replied.
"Let's see who dares!"
Queen Mother Li asked loudly.
Uh-huh!
A cold light suddenly appeared.
At this time, Ma Gui first pulled out the Xiuchun knife, strode out first, and shouted: "I obey your Majesty's order!"
At this time, Zhang Jing also glanced at the fans in the East Factory outside the door.
So, two rows of fans ran out with torches, like two fire dragons passing through the snowflakes that had been blowing all day, and then lingered on both sides of the Fuque civil servants outside the door.
At the same time, Ma Gui had already walked out quickly.
The main reason is that he doesn't want to slow down any more.
The censor Hu Wei who was kneeling at the front was shocked when he saw Ma Gui's sudden appearance. He immediately stood up and said, "Who are you and why did you leave the palace with a sword!"
At this time, Ma Gui directly lifted Hu Yushi up like a chicken.
Hu Wei was furious and wanted to slap Ma Gui: "How dare you! Even Wu Bian dares to attack me."
Before Hu Wei finished speaking, Ma Gui stabbed his chest with a knife and twisted it violently.
Hu Wei suddenly felt choked and bleeding due to the hole in his lungs, and he immediately softened.
Ma Gui threw him to the ground and shouted: "According to the decree, I will give you and other rebellious officials and traitors a happy life!"
"I obey His Majesty's decree!"
At this time, Qi Changguo, Li Rusong, Liu Wei, and Chen Lin also rushed out with knives.
Qi Changguo also mentioned the censor Jingsong and immediately stabbed him in the chest.
Jing Song also vomited blood on the spot.
Li Rusong even stabbed Han Bixian, the censor, into the neck, killing him immediately. Blood spurted out on the snow like plum blossoms blooming.
Liu Wei also stabbed and killed several censors and officials in the imperial court.
Not long after, the jade-white palace platform turned into a piece of blood porridge due to the snow.
"Although I came to the throne at a young age, I should know how to rely on my veterans. What's more, your husband was originally my teacher, and he was appointed by the late emperor to take care of his life. He is even more favored by the emperor and is said to be a good example to his descendants."
"But why are you driving a wedge between me and my husband?!"
"You don't know the virtue of being loyal to the emperor, you protect the ministers who are slanderous and disrespectful to the emperor and father, and you defend the ministers who are disorderly. You can really be said to bully me when I am young. You regard the emperor's principles and national laws as nothing, and you force me to expel my husband, so that I have violated my father's wishes. How can you be called ruthless?!"
"What is your motive for being such a minister?! I let you leave because I don't want to show my power to you and make your parents sad. However, you insist on coercing me to become an unscrupulous king... Today, since you If you don’t give up, I won’t give up either!”
"Although you have no virtue as ministers, I must not forget the benevolence of the emperor, so I will not humiliate you with the imperial staff and make you take off your trousers in public and accept the punishment of the imperial staff. Therefore, I have to order Qi Changguo, Li Rusong, Ma Gui, Liu Wei and Chen Lin will kill you and other rebellious ministers on my behalf, so as to rectify the authority of the monarch and revive the imperial court!"
"If you are dissatisfied, you can slander and slander me in front of your ancestors after you meet them... Thank you!"
At this time, Zhang Jing also came out with Zhang Juzheng's improvised edict, and faced the mountain of corpses and sea of blood, with tears streaming down his fat round face, he read out the edict.
The civil servant who was kneeling behind and hurriedly running towards Donghua Gate didn't stop to listen. He just regretted that he didn't have two more legs and couldn't escape here as soon as possible.
Inside the Huiji Gate when Ma Gui and others rushed out to kill the civil servants in Fuchou outside.
Queen Mother Li looked shocked, then turned around and left.
Zhu Yijun's face was as sinking as water.
Zhang Juzheng did not leave, but said nothing.
Ahem!
Tan Lun didn't leave either, he just kept coughing and wheezing.
"Pass the message! Immediately give Tan Aiqing a bowl of pear soup! From now on, Mr. Yuan Fu, Mr. Zhang, and Tan Aiqing will both be given the right to enter the palace on a shoulder!"
Zhu Yijun suddenly said something at this time.
