As a close confidant of Wang Zhen, Ma Shun was originally worried for fear of being implicated.
At this time, the officials in the court meeting were impeached, and the supervisor was silent, which made Ma Shun even more upset.
When people are drowning, they always have to desperately grab the last straw.
So when Zhu Qiyu looked at Ma Shun, Ma Shun understood that Zhu Qiyu wanted to stop the ministers. So Ma Shun came out of the class and said:
"I reported to Your Highness that Wang Hong had no evidence and wanted to trap a minor official. Your Highness is wise and would not be deceived by sycophants, so Wang Hong made loud noises, disrupted the court meeting, and intended to intimidate His Highness.
Wei Chen believes that Wang Hong should be expelled to maintain the order of the court, and please give His Majesty a clear warning. "
When Zhu Qiyu heard this, he immediately leaned back on his chair and looked at Ma Shun sympathetically.
Before Ma Shun could understand why the Supervisory Committee acted like this, Wang Hong had already rushed forward, punching and kicking Ma Shun.
Of course Wang Hong could not defeat Ma Shun alone, but a group of science and technology officials joined in immediately.
It was difficult for him to fight with four fists, and Ma Shun had a guilty conscience and did not dare to seriously fight back at the civil officials. He could only rush left and right and forcefully fight his way out from the encirclement of these officials.
Unfortunately, before Ma Shun could breathe a sigh of relief, other civil servants also joined in. The crowd was originally excited, coupled with the mentality that the law should not be punished, and the general contempt for King Yin in the hearts of civil and military officials, resulting in hundreds of officials at the scene joining in the siege of Ma Shun.
Only a few important ministers such as Chen Xun, Wang Zhi, and Yu Qian were concerned about their status, but they could still remain calm and did not end up personally involved.
Jin Ying, Xing'an and other internal guards, as well as other Jinyi guards, were frightened to death when they saw this scene.
Jin Ying turned to Xing'an and whispered: "Quick, go back to the palace and report to the Queen Mother Ming."
When Xing'an heard this, he turned around and ran to the inner palace as if he had been granted amnesty.
Unexpectedly, after only running a few steps, Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly: "Xing'an is back, what are you doing?"
Xing'an had no choice but to turn around and say: "I will report to the Empress Dowager Ming..."
Before Xing'an could finish speaking, Zhu Qiyu interrupted: "Who allowed you to run around? Even trivial matters are worth bothering the Queen Mother. This is a court meeting. No one is allowed to leave without my permission."
After that, Zhu Qiyu turned to Liu Chang and told Liu Chang: "Anyone who leaves without authorization will be captured directly."
Xing'an had no choice but to plead guilty and returned to Jin Ying's side.
The siege in the square continued. Ma Shun was gradually exhausted as hundreds of people chased him. He persisted for a cup of tea and was finally knocked to the ground.
Then all the officials rushed forward, using their fists and kicks. After a while, Ma Shun could only breathe in and had no breath left.
Zhu Qiyu looked at the people in front of him with a smile, but he was filled with emotion in his heart: What is happening in front of him is an unprecedented and unprecedented scene. It is really a grand event and a great honor.
Judging from Zhu Qiyu's limited knowledge, throughout the ages, the shooting of Wu Qi with random arrows by the group of cerebral palsy in Chu State was comparable to the scene today.
It was a revelation to witness such a grand event with my own eyes.
Thinking of this, Zhu Qiyu remembered that he had brought wine, so he quickly took out the leather bag pot from his pocket and drank three large gulps of the wine in the pot.
Chen Xun, Wang Zhi, Hu Hui and other ministers were amazed when they saw Zhu Qiyu's reaction. Only Yu Qian, looking at Zhu Qiyu's performance, felt his heart sink.
Among the ministers present, only Yu Qian and Zhu Qiyu had the most contact, and they also knew the Prince of Supervision the best: This was a prelude to a mass killing, and King Tan seemed to have made up his mind.
Thinking of this, Yu Qian hurriedly said to several important ministers beside him: "This is something serious. Let's all step forward to stop it."
Hearing this, Hu Hu complained: "The situation is so chaotic. How can we stop it? If we step forward, we may be accidentally injured. We'd better wait and see what happens."
Seeing that Hu Hui and others were still lucky and wanted to see Zhu Qiyu's joke, Yu Qian had no choice but to shake his head and step aside without saying a word.
After a while, without anyone's persuasion, the ministers stopped naturally. When the crowd dispersed, they saw that Ma Shun was already motionless, obviously not alive.
Unexpectedly, the ministers were still not relieved and rushed to Zhu Qiyu again, demanding that Wang Zhen's other two cronies, Mao Gui and Wang Changsui, be handed over.
Zhu Qiyu just looked at everyone coldly, smiling and saying nothing.
At this time, Jin Ying took it upon himself to kick Mao Gui and Wang Changsui out one by one.
Mao Gui and Wang Changsui were so frightened that they were about to be dragged into the crowd.
When Zhu Qiyu saw that Jin Ying had taken matters into his own hands and ignored his own existence again, he became furious and shouted sternly: "How outrageous! Liu Chang, save these two people and stop the chaos."
Liu Chang responded and sent out eighty personal guards to rescue Mao Gui and Wang Changsui and isolate the ministers.
Mao Gui and Wang Changsui escaped death and knelt on the ground, kowtowing and crying bitterly, expressing their gratitude to Zhu Qiyu.
The officials who were restrained became even more angry and rushed towards Zhu Qiyu together.
It was very difficult to deal with one hundred and twenty personal guards.
Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry and ordered Liu Chang: "Go to Zhao Xuan outside the Meridian Gate to convey the decree of the Supervisor of the State: There is a rebel party plotting to kill the Prince of the Supervisor of the State. The royal guards will immediately enter the Fengtian Gate to protect him."
Liu Chang immediately sent ten people to convey the order, avoiding the crowd.
Not long after, Zhao Xuan led a thousand personal guards and entered Fengtian Gate.
Zhao Xuan ordered his bodyguards to be divided into ten teams. They rushed in first to isolate the crowd into several parts, and then every two bodyguards controlled one minister.
The ministers were no match for the royal guards. At this time, they lost their numerical advantage, and the situation was brought under control in a short time.
Zhu Qiyu was not in a hurry to speak, and took out a pack of soy beef from his pocket, taking a leisurely bite of meat and a sip of wine, as if what happened at the scene had nothing to do with him.
After another stick of incense, the officials calmed down and finally began to feel scared. Seeing so many soldiers gathered in the entire square, he gradually became panicked.
The ministers who were least determined were the first to kneel down and apologize to Zhu Qiyu.
Zhu Qiyu didn't say anything. It wasn't until all the ministers involved in the siege figured it out and knelt on the ground that Zhu Qiyu smiled at Cheng Jing:
"Mr. Cheng, I heard that there is a well over there at Wenhua Hall. The water in that well is sweet and sweet. There seems to be some saying that the water in Yuquan Mountain is the best in the world, and the water in this well is the second in the world. I have been drinking water since I was a child. I haven’t lived in the palace much, so I don’t know if that’s correct or not.”
Cheng Jing hurriedly replied: "Your Highness, this well is called Da Pao Well. It is located in the Chuanxin Hall next to Wenhua Hall. There is indeed a saying that 'Yuquan is the first, Da Pao Well is the second'."
Zhu Qiyu laughed when he heard this and said: "It would be great to have this well. Zhao Xuan sent two hundred personal guards to follow Mr. Cheng to the well to fetch water. Then give each troublemaking minister a basin of well water on his head so that they can sober up. wide awake."
