"Tian Ergeng, as the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was not strict with his subordinates and was demoted to the rank of commander. Xu Xianchun, who commanded the generals, neglected his duties and neglected his duties, and was demoted to the rank of governor!"
"In addition, there will be twenty imperial staffs and a year's salary as a fine."
"Wei Zhongxian, are you satisfied with this result?"
Wei Zhongxian was silent for a few moments and then kowtowed: "Thunder, rain and dew are all your kindness!"
"I thank Your Majesty for your grace!"
Kneeling Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun were overjoyed. They thought that the cause of this incident was probably beheading, but now it was just a demotion and twenty military sticks. The Jin Yiwei were all their own, and the twenty military sticks were just a formality.
It doesn't matter if the official position is demoted. The Jinyiwei and the others have many confidants. If the emperor dares to get a new commander, they have many ways to kill the new commander. Anyway, this position must belong to them.
As for a year's salary, it's just drizzle.
Before the two of them had finished celebrating, they heard the emperor say: "Fang Zhenghua, you fight it yourself!"
For a moment, both of them were stunned and their expressions were stiff.
Today, Fang Zhenghua fought alone in the Jingying camp with hundreds of soldiers, killing more than 60 people. His power has spread throughout the Jingying camp, the Jinyi guards, and the ministers of the DPRK.
He is a real martial artist. Even if they have been practicing martial arts for many years, they probably won't be able to get out of bed for a month even if they use twenty batons.
"Two adults, should the servants drag you down, or should you two take the initiative?"
Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun walked toward the back without saying anything. After a moment, they heard their screams.
Listening to the screams, Chongzhen looked at Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian again.
"Wang Tiqian, as the Chief of Ceremonies and the Eunuch in Charge, you supervise the entire twenty-four yamen. Is this how you supervise?"
"Wei Zhongxian, Chen Derun is the person you led. Is this how you train him on weekdays?"
"Aren't you two at fault for this incident?"
The expressions of the two changed. After all, Chen Derun was the one they trained, and they were also responsible.
"Your Majesty, minister..."
"Okay, I don't want to argue with you!"
Chongzhen interrupted the two of them impatiently and continued: "Tomorrow Chen Derun will be executed. You two will do it yourself. Each of you will chop Chen Derun fifty times. He missed one knife before he died. I will make up for it with one more knife on you. You can do whatever it takes." The two of them come out on their own!"
"Get down!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he went directly into Nuan Pavilion without giving the two of them a chance to refute.
The two looked at each other, kowtowed towards Nuange with gloomy expressions, stood up and left.
Chongzhen, who entered the Nuan Pavilion, took a long breath and felt a chill on his back.
If this matter is not handled properly, it may force Wei Zhongxian to rebel. The saying that it can easily lead to mutiny is no joke.
Wei Zhongxian was obviously interceding for Tian Ergen, but in fact he was testing him to see if he would give him face.
Wei Zhongxian was testing him, and he was testing Wei Zhongxian.
In particular, letting Wei Zhongxian and Wang Tiqian take action in person not only punished the two, but also shocked other people in the palace.
After making a cup of tea, Fang Zhenghua came in: "Your Majesty, I am very heavy-handed. These two people will not be able to get out of bed for at least a month. It will take at least three months for them to recover completely!"
"Well done!"
This is exactly what Chongzhen wants. In one month, he can do a lot of things without these two personally commanding the Jin Yiwei.
After this incident, it was now the Zizheng moment. Chongzhen no longer continued to sort out the plan for the sustainable development of the Ming Dynasty, and locked the plan in the golden cabinet in Nuan Pavilion.
This kind of golden cabinet is similar to the safe of later generations. There is no correct method and it is extremely difficult to open it silently.
"Arrange people to guard outside Nuan Pavilion. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
"Slave, you obey!"
Fang Zhenghua nodded towards an apprentice, and then followed Chongzhen towards Kunning Palace.
Half a quarter of an hour later, Chongzhen entered Kunning Palace and met Queen Zhou who had just returned from Ciqing Palace. Queen Zhou immediately saluted but was stopped by Chongzhen.
After Chongzhen sat down, Zhou Yufeng stood behind him and stretched out her jade hands to slowly rub Chongzhen's temples, which made Chongzhen feel comfortable.
"Feng'er, how is the emperor's sister-in-law doing?"
"Your Majesty, the emperor's wife was frightened. I just talked with you for a while. I arranged for internal guards when I left. She should be asleep now!"
"Thank you for your hard work, Feng'er. It's getting late, let's go to bed early!"
After Chongzhen finished speaking, he stood up and led Zhou Yufeng towards the phoenix couch.
The next morning, Chongzhen slept until midnight before getting up. After washing, he headed towards the Meridian Gate.
When he arrived at the Meridian Gate, all the six ministers and nine officials in the capital and officials above the fourth rank in the capital were present. The ministers who were talking to each other immediately became energetic when they saw the emperor coming.
After paying homage, Chongzhen said: "My dear friends, we are all tired today. I invite you to watch a show today!"
Amid the doubts of the ministers, two guards in golden robes escorted Chen Derun over.
"Wang Tiqian, Wei Zhongxian, let's get started!"
Seeing the emperor's roll call, the two men walked up with gloomy faces.
"Your Majesty, spare your life, spare your life!"
Looking at Wei Zhongxian and the two men walking over with knives, Chen Derun roared desperately.
"Emperor Dog, you must die a happy death!"
"Zhu Youjian, I'll wait for you below, you beast."
…
Chongzhen's face darkened and he said angrily: "Wei Zhongxian, why don't you take action?"
Wei Zhongxian was in control of the East Factory, and Ling Chi was naturally capable of stabbing him one after another. Chen Derun's miserable screams resounded throughout the Meridian Gate Square.
Everyone watching felt their scalps numb and their whole bodies trembling when they heard the screams.
After Wei Zhongxian's fifty blows, he ordered others to drink ginseng soup and medicinal soup. Wang Tiqian started. Half a quarter of an hour later, the two men finished their fifty blows.
Fang Zhenghua stepped forward, and everyone saw a flash of cold light, and Chen Derun's head flew out and fell into the ranks of the ministers.
"Okay, now that the show is over and you all feel relaxed, just do whatever you need to do!"
Chongzhen said something while holding back his discomfort, then turned and left, leaving behind a group of confused, frightened and angry ministers.
This is a warning to the eunuchs and maids in the palace, and it also tells the ministers that I will kill people.
Looking at the back of Chongzhen leaving, the ministers just wanted to curse: "Relax, sister!"
"I would like to remind you all, don't ask around, as this can easily lead to death!"
After Wei Zhongxian said something gloomily, he turned and left.
All the ministers left one after another.
A quarter of an hour later, Chongzhen arrived at Ciqing Palace. Queen Zhou and Queen Yi'an were already waiting at the door.
"My concubine Zhang Yan comes to see Your Majesty!"
"Royal sister-in-law, we are all part of the same family, so we don't need so many etiquettes."
Chongzhen immediately raised his hand, and Zhang Yan stood up after saluting.
Looking at Zhang Yan, Chongzhen was also amazed. She was really beautiful. In the later Internet era, he had seen many Asian ladies and first-line celebrities. Compared with Zhang Yan, he was simply a scumbag.
With a handsome face, a face like Guanyin, eyes like autumn waves, a mouth like cherry blossoms, a nose like hanging gallbladder, and white teeth, she is worthy of being one of the five great queens in history.
"Sister-in-law, what happened last night was due to my negligence, which shocked you. I have already punished the relevant personnel. This kind of thing will never happen again!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for making the decision for me!"
Chongzhen waved his hand and continued: "Sister-in-law, I want to talk to you today!"
