As soon as he finished speaking, the auditorium was completely silent. The ministers thought that he had secretly reported to the emperor all the matters concerning the division of wealth between officials in the court over the years, and even handed over small account books, so that would be a big deal.
As a result, Wu Jijue gasped again and said: "We will collect 300,000 taels of silver and bribe Yuan Fu 200,000 taels and Qi Jiguang 100,000 taels. I will be the first to report this matter!" After hearing this, all the ministers felt their hearts drop in their stomachs. Inside, he cursed secretly: "I'm scared to death. This guy can't speak. How disgusting!"
Zhao Zuzheng couldn't help it anymore and cursed loudly: "The old maid raises you, no wonder you are the son of a barbarian, and you have no faith at all!"
The Jinyi soldiers standing next to Zhao Zuzheng turned pale when he heard the harsh words he scolded, and quickly took out a piece of cloth and blocked his mouth.
Wu Jijue's ancestors were Mongolians, but he has been a naturalized man for many years, and the world has long regarded him as Chinese. Today I was insulted by my ancestors, and my face turned pale under the shame and humiliation.
Zhu Yijun sneered and said to the Jinyi soldier: "Don't block his mouth, let him scold me, I will learn a few words from you."
Zhao Zuzheng felt cold in his heart after hearing the emperor's sneer. He didn't have the courage to curse again, so he lowered his head and remained silent.
Zhang Juzheng interjected: "Your Majesty, I and Qi Jiguang have received bribes of 150,000 taels and 80,000 taels respectively, and they have been reported to the Emperor. This is not the amount Wu Jijue said." With Zhang Juzheng's high authority, this matter It must also be made clear.
Qi Jiguang had already calmed down from the excitement of being rewarded. After listening to Wu Jijue's words, he realized that he had already made a confession, and he was so frightened that his back was covered in cold sweat.
It turned out that Qi Jiguang had been in a state of excitement and excitement since the last emperor's meeting. After the New Year, Qi Jiguang went to Zhang Juzheng's home to pay New Year's greetings. When the two had a private conversation, Qi Jiguang informed Zhang Juzheng of the matter after a psychological struggle and asked him to help him come up with an idea.
Zhang Juzheng was very happy at the time and said to him with a smile: "If Yuan Jing doesn't come today, I will go find you. Yang Bing bribed me 150,000 taels for the capital camp, and I paid all the money. I guess you will do it." Yes, but I didn’t expect it to be as much as 80,000 taels.”
Zhang Juzheng said at that time: "I have a personality similar to that of Taizu, and I can't get rid of the sand in my eyes. If I don't explain the matter clearly today, if it happens in the future, I will regret it." After saying this, he said meaningfully: "Zhu Xixiao is an incompetent person, but Li Santai , Wang Tong and others were all held in the palm of the emperor's hand, and he was reminded every day, which is no longer what it used to be." Qi Jiguang was shocked when he heard this, and immediately wrote a secret memorial at Zhang Juzheng's house and asked him to submit it on his behalf.
Zhang Juzheng said: "You are a border general, and I want to avoid some suspicion. Is there anyone among the middle officers who is friendly with you?"
Qi Jiguang hesitated and said: "There is no such person." Zhang Juzheng did not expose it and just said calmly: "In this case, I will forward it to you."
When reporting the bribery, Zhang Juzheng saw the emperor's look as if he knew the details, and felt just as scared as Qi Jiguang at this moment. At this time, after listening to what Wu Jijue said, I felt a little suspicious of Jin Yiwei's intelligence capabilities. It turned out that Wu Jijue had sold these people!
As soon as Zhang Juzheng finished speaking, the auditorium was completely silent. Ge Shouli said in amusement to himself: "Haha, we've made a mistake. I wonder who is responsible for scraping the oil?"
All the ministers understood what the emperor meant when he said "there are ten thousand more", and they thought that it was actually a bribe handed over by Qi Jiguang. In this way, the unusual reward would have a different flavor and would not be shocking.
After listening to Zhang Juzheng's words, Li Huan, Zhao Zuzheng and Gu Huan looked at Zhang Juzheng suspiciously, then turned to look at Yang Bing. Yang Bing frightened the generals that day, but he never thought that he would be right today. At that time, I had the idea of taking advantage of the situation, otherwise why bother with everyone?
At this time, he was exposed to his face, and he thought to himself: "If it weren't for the money, I would have been miserable for eight lifetimes, just to spend money to do this job?!" With his mind shaken, his dark face turned red and white. Seeing Yang Bing's expression, everyone knew the answer.
Gu Huan and Yang Bing had a normal relationship, and he also had a hot temper. He was so angry at Wu Jijue that he almost exploded, and then he was stimulated by Yang Bing's tricks and completely exploded. Even though he was tied up, his legs bounced on the ground, and he bumped into Yang Bing. While talking obscenely, he bit him with his mouth. The Jinyi Guards quickly pulled him away and blocked his mouth.
When the ministers saw their ugly appearance, they shook their heads inwardly. Luo Wanhua, a scholar of Hanlin Academy, came out of the class and said: "Your Majesty, all the generals in the capital camp have personal relationships with the political and border generals, bribe them with large sums of money, and plot for personal gain. This is strictly forbidden by the ancestral family law. How can we enforce law and order without killing them? I invite you. Let’s kill these ferocious beasts as a warning to those who come after us!”
As soon as Luo Wanhua said these words, all the British ministers knew that these people could not be saved. According to the ancestral family law, it is extremely taboo for such a trusted general to be in power with a personal relationship. Only fools like Yang Bing who were blinded by money would make such a ridiculous mistake.
Zhang Juzheng and Qi Jiguang had a clear mind. They immediately handed over the bribe and explained the situation to the emperor. They were already in an invincible position. But Yang Bing and others were kept in the dark, and the general ledger was not calculated until today. It can be seen that the emperor and Zhang Juzheng had been planning for a long time to rectify the capital camp. If you criticize me again at this time, you are inevitably making fun of your own merits.
All the ministers knew that although the emperor was slapped in the face by the Beijing camp during the review today, killing these idiots was still worth it. Moreover, the emperor had long known about Yang Bing and others' bribery of Yuan Fu and Qi Jiguang, but he kept silent. After the British nobles had begged for mercy, Wu Jijue was induced to throw the big stuff in front of everyone. He slapped all the nobles in the face and blocked everyone's mouths.
Is there any person present whose IQ is below the standard? At this time, everyone understood what the emperor wanted. They were all frightened by Zhu Yijun's palace and no longer dared to treat him like a young monarch. Zhu Yijun had already achieved his goal of establishing authority before he could kill anyone.
Luo Wanhua said two sentences today, but none of the ministers said anything in reply, feeling secretly proud in their hearts. Just when he was about to pursue the victory, he saw Zhang Juzheng giving him a wink. He was a very thoughtful person, and he immediately knew that he was getting carried away today, so he shut up and retreated.
Zhu Yijun saw that all the ministers did not object to Luo Wanhua's proposal, so he made a final decision and said: "Take Wu Jijue's title away and demote him to a commoner! The rest of the leaders of the capital camp will be beheaded!" Lu Shusheng, the Minister of Rites, stepped forward to accept the order and retreated.
At this time, the British Duke and others knew that the emperor wanted to gain authority in the army and did not dare to say anything.
Unexpectedly, the emperor changed the topic and said: "Although Yang Bing and Wang Lin were guilty of serious crimes, they took over the important responsibilities when King Dingxiang was seriously ill. Although their thoughts were not in the right place, there was something pitiful about it - Yang Bing's eldest son was specially allowed to Assault on the nobility! Wang Lin, spare him the death penalty, take away his birthplace, and flee to Yunnan!" Lu Shusheng and Wang Han, the Minister of Civil Affairs, stepped forward to accept the order.
Yang Bing burst into tears and said loudly: "Thank you, Emperor, for your great kindness! I will die without regrets!" Wang Lin escaped with his life and thanked him loudly. Li Huan, Gu Huan and others were shaking in a heap, unable to make a sound.
Zhu Yijun said again: "For the sake of the dignity of the Cunxun family, the land for sacrifice by Li Huan and others will not be confiscated, and the children will not be sent to the Jiaofangsi. They are still asked to live in the fields." After hearing this, Li Huan and others knew that it was inevitable, but his wife and children Not living in a lowly position, everyone choked up and thanked him. When the British public servants saw the emperor's treatment, they capitalized on the word "submit".
Zhu Yijun said: "Everyone from the capital camp to the commander-in-chief will have their homes confiscated, dismissed from their posts, exiled to the side, and sent to serve in front of the army!" Tan Lun stepped forward to accept the order.
Zhu Yijun paused and said: "The Jin Yiwei has found out that Chen Yu accepted bribes during his inspection and made military and state affairs a trivial matter. He will be killed together with these ugly people and spread throughout the world!"
When Ge Shouli heard that the emperor wanted to kill Chen Hui, he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, you can't kill Yan Guan! I beg your Majesty to show mercy and spare Chen Hui's life to facilitate Yan Yan's career."
After hearing this, Zhu Yijun sneered and said, "Can such an ugly person still be called a remonstrance for forgetting the country and home, and being loyal but forgetting oneself?"
Ge Shouli took off his hat, kowtowed and said, "If the emperor still wants to kill me, please beg for the bones." Zhu Yijun thought to himself, you old fox, don't you just want to take the opportunity to run away? I want to blind your mind.
It turns out that Ge Shouli's pretentiousness was for the sake of a safe landing in the future. He felt like he had a mirror in his heart. The emperor's killing of Chen Hui was reasonable and legal, and it was useless for him to rely on his old age.
But at this time, he tried to protect the spokesman, which was equivalent to adding a strong shield to himself. When officials criticize him in the future, it is impossible for other officials not to think of his outburst. In the Ming Dynasty, as long as the officials did not attack in groups, other scumbags said they didn't care.
Zhu Yijun saw that he was being mean-spirited, so he suppressed his expression and said seriously: "I beg for mercy but I won't allow it. There is an old man in the court. If there is a treasure, Ge Zongxian still reluctantly gives it up. Chen Yu, take it and behead it together as a sacrifice!"
Regardless of Lao Ge kowtowing and crying next to him, the Jin Yiwei shouted to the emperor to show mercy, gagged the nobles and Chen Hu, and took them away.
A group of pro-army soldiers loosened the binding rope of the large banner and laid it sideways. After a little preparation, the decree came down. With the sound of the cannon, the ghost-headed sword fell, and the seven heads of Yang Bing, Li Huan, Gu Huan, Zhao Zuzheng, Li Yingchen, Guo Yingqian, and Chen Yu fell to the ground. The blood in their chests spurted out ten feet away, dyeing the silk ribbon on the big banner. flushed. ——Zhu Yijun didn’t know at this time that he had killed the Minister of the Ministry of Finance in the original time and space future.
When the people in the audience were preparing to kill people, Zhu Yijun called up the soldier who still insisted on marching with blood on his legs, and asked him: "What is your name? What is your position?"
The soldier was about twenty years old, with his legs wrapped in bandages. He kowtowed tremblingly and replied, "My name is Zhao Wanli, and he is a soldier of Uncle Zhangwu."
Zhu Yijun said: "What you did today is the only one who can be seen in the Beijing camp. Are you willing to continue to serve as a soldier? If you want, you can be imprisoned. If you don't want to, you can still protect Uncle Zhangwu's family. His eldest son will turn around and attack Lord."
Zhao Wanli never expected that the emperor was so easy to talk to. Hearing this, he said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness! My little wish is still with my uncle." Zhu Yijun didn't feel dissatisfied when he heard this, Wen Yan rewarded him with ten taels of silver. Let him return to camp. The ministers were impressed when they saw that the emperor was so light-hearted and used a personal soldier of Uncle Zhangwu to appease the morale of the soldiers at the bottom of the Beijing camp.
In this military parade, Zhu Yijun killed people and showed kindness, and he fully occupied the three aspects of emotion, reason and law. His skills are superb and his officials are terrified. This time, two marquises and four earls were killed, one person was punished, and one minister was exiled. In total, there were more than a hundred officers, plus people who stayed at these houses to eat, etc., affecting more than tens of thousands of people. There has never been such a major case in the hundred years since the Ming Dynasty.
When the news of this military parade spread all over the world along with the heads of people, officials and people all over the world knew that an era called "Wanli" had begun in blood!
