"Xu Youzhen."
"Exactly."
"It's Xu Youzhen who loves to look at the stars next to the little emperor and talks nonsense all day long. Why, that little emperor sent you to kill me." Zhu Mianpei half-sited up and said coldly.
Xu Youzhen endured it after hearing what Zhu Dianpei said.
"Zhu Dianpei, a common man from Ning, accepts the order."
Zhu Mianpei was sitting on the bed, just sneering constantly without making any move. He knew that he would definitely die and was completely ruined.
"Zhu Dianpei, a common man from Ning, accepts the order."
Zhu Mianpei looked at the group of people coldly, but still made no move.
"Come here, pull him up and kneel down to receive the order." Xu Youzhen said with a twitching brow.
The Jinyi guards outside the room received the order, and Zhao Cong from Baihu rushed in instantly.
Zhu Mianpei was not afraid when he saw the fierce Jin Yiwei. He lay on the bed and kicked Zhao Cong.
Zhao Cong was not careless and dodged the kick. Then, he grabbed Zhu Mianpei's feet with both hands and exerted force to pull Zhu Mianpei out of bed.
Four or five Jin Yiwei hurriedly stepped forward and fixed it firmly to the ground.
Zhu Dianpei yelled: "I am a relative of the emperor. How dare you insult me like this? My title was conferred by Emperor Taizu Gao. What right does a young emperor who has not yet come into power have the right to demote me?" As a common people, powerful ministers are in charge, and the country is not in a state, and the world is dominated by vassal kings, they will respect the emperor's instructions, raise troops to appease the emperor, clear the emperor's side, and kill the tyrant."
In fact, all the guards of the current vassal have been eliminated, and there is no strength to rebel at all. If someone really wants to stand up for Ning Wang and the vassal at this critical moment, it will just give the court an opportunity to accept the emperor and depose the vassal.
Xu Youzhen was very angry when he heard this. He glanced at Han Yong beside him and said slowly, "Governor Han, I really can't stand listening anymore. If you want to beat this commoner Ning, you can do it."
"Censor of Xudu, please help yourself, and don't worry, I haven't seen anything." Han Yong immediately replied.
"Thank you, Governor Han." After saying that, Xu Youzhen slowly walked into Zhu Mianpei, who was being pressed against the bed by the Jinyi guards and had his throat locked.
Although Zhu Mianpei was yelling all the time, he also heard clearly what Xu Youzhen and Han Yong said. At that moment, he shouted: "Xu Youzhen, what the hell are you? Aren't you that stupid little kid?" A dog beside the emperor? How dare you hit me? I am the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, the grandson of King Ning Xian, and I..."
Before he finished speaking, someone from Jinyiwei pulled his head up and asked him to look at Xu Youzhen.
And Xu Youzhen's fist also slammed down...
"You really fucking dare to fight..."
"oops……"
"stop……"
After Xu Youzhen punched down, he felt an inexplicable sense of relief. Along the way, he kept thinking about this moment, and then he couldn't stop and started hammering and kicking.
Let you use witchcraft to murder His Majesty, let you utter wild words to insult His Majesty, Your Majesty is the person close to my heart, how can I accept your insults at will?
Zhao Cong, who had his throat locked, watched helplessly as the large footprints covered his face.
"grown ups……"
He spoke a little slowly. Zhao Cong, a master of eye-catching, was hit in the face by a kick from Xu Youzhen. However, his professionalism allowed him to not let go of the struggling Zhu Mianpei even though he was hurt.
"My lord, look carefully..."
Xu Youzhen looked at the shoe prints on Zhao Cong's face and the blood flowing under his nose. She felt a little embarrassed and raised her feet...
He gave Zhao Cong an apologetic look and turned his attention back to Zhu Mianpei.
"If you dare to insult His Majesty again, I will make you unable to live or die." Xu Youzhen said coldly.
Zhu Mianpei gasped for air and cursed angrily in his heart: "It's like a tiger was kicked by a dog when it fell into the sun." Although his face was still unconvinced, he didn't say anything after all. A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences.
Xu Youzhen took two steps back and took the imperial edict from the eunuch's hand.
"The emperor's edict is carried out by heaven, saying that in the fifth year of Chenghua, Ning Wang Fan oppressed the people and occupied fertile land. Although I issued an edict to punish him, I still remember the feelings of the clan and give him a chance to make amends behind closed doors."
"Zhu Dianpei, King of Ning, did not want to repent, practiced witchcraft, and conspired to kill me. He committed a heinous crime. Heaven and man are indignant, and I feel pain in my heart. However, the laws of the country and the laws of the clan must be followed."
"I have been fasting for three days and hereby declare to the Imperial Ancestral Temple, Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Taizong Wen that I have committed a serious crime against Ning Wang and his vassal, and I will definitely revoke the title of King Zhu Dianpei Ning."
"Zhu Dianpei was granted the title of Prince Le'an, Prince of Shicheng, Prince of Geyang, Prince of Changrui, Prince Ningxian was granted the title of Prince of Linchuan, Prince of Yichun, Prince of Xinchang, Prince of Xinfeng and other clans, From now on, all of them will be expelled from their ancestral home, demoted to common people, and sent to Fengyang to protect their ancestral mausoleums."
"Zhu Dianpei is the leader of the evildoers. He gives a cup of poisonous wine and announces it to the world. The envoys will hear about it."
After reading the imperial edict, Xu Youzhen looked at Zhu Mianpei.
There was a little loneliness and panic on Zhu Mianpei's face, but when he saw the ridicule hidden on Xu Youzhen's face, he immediately hid his timidity.
How can the descendants of the old Zhu family be cowardly people? Isn't it just death? After death, when they see Taizu Emperor Gao, they will tell them carefully about the perverse behavior of Zhu Di's lineage.
"Ning Zhu Dianpei, a common man, can you tell whether he is guilty or not?"
"I am not guilty, so how can I know my guilt?" Zhu Mianpei said viciously. He was about to die, and he wanted me to plead guilty. His head was amusing.
"He has always been so tough-talking. In prison, he also said that the court framed him." Han Yong said at the side.
Xu Youzhen glanced at Han Yong, then chuckled and shook her head: "You really don't know the crime?"
"How can an innocent person plead guilty? The history books will seek justice for me." During the days when Zhu Mianpei was imprisoned, he thought a lot. He couldn't admit it, even if he did it. Even if you die, you can’t admit it.
If he admits it, his grandfather Ning Xian Wang Zhu Quan will be humiliated, and his father Ning Hui Wang Zhu Panxuan will be humiliated. But if he doesn't admit it, it will be an unsolved case.
The vassal king and the imperial court were a very sensitive topic in the Ming Dynasty. Even if the evidence was conclusive, future generations would have endless reveries. Maybe a hundred years later, someone would still vindicate themselves...
As for whether I regret doing such a thing, damn, I'm going to die soon, so how can I have time to regret it?
Xu Youzhen shook his head. Although he was demoted to a commoner, he was still a clan member of the Ming Dynasty. He had a lot of curses that he could not say out loud.
"The world will only know a King Ning who oppresses the people, but will not misunderstand a wise monarch."
"Ah, what do twelve- and thirteen-year-olds know? Isn't this just confusing you traitorous ministers? Don't deceive yourself."
"But you did do it. God is watching, and so is Taizu Taizong. Until now, don't you have any repentance in your heart?"
In fact, Zhu Mianpei knew that he had been so petty over the years that he had died many times, but he was just not convinced.
During the Battle of Jingnan, Zhu Di lied to his grandfather. He just wanted to get back what Zhu Di's lineage owed to Prince Ning's lineage.
He's not wrong...
What's wrong is this world...
"What are you repenting for? I am the great-grandson of Emperor Taizu Gao, the true son of the dragon. I refuse to accept it. I do not plead guilty."
Xu Youzhen's eyes narrowed.
"If you don't confess your sins and don't accept the decree, someone will confess it for you and receive it for you."
"What do you mean?" Zhu Mianpei's expression changed and he said with some horror.
Xu Youzhen turned around and took a glass of wine from the eunuch's hand.
"What do you mean, Ning Shuren doesn't know. There is a full pot of wine, you can't finish it yourself. Think about it before you speak."
Zhu Mianpei thought of his son Zhu Jinjun. This was a threat. This was a naked threat. Not only did they want to kill me, they also wanted to kill me.
"How dare you? All the vassal kings in the world are watching. Your little emperor's imperial edict also says that only I will be killed. If you dare to attack my child, you will definitely die without a burial place."
"I really don't dare. It's more than a thousand miles from here to Fengyang, the central capital. If someone gets cold on the way, it's hard for anyone to tell..."
"You, you actually dare to perform ghostly magic on the dragon son and grandson..."
"Prince Ning also practiced witchcraft on His Majesty." Xu Youzhen reprimanded loudly. The veins on his face stood out. For a fat man, veins appeared on his face, which proved that he was extremely angry.
"You were just hiding in a dark corner, picking on villains, but I saw the light of day. Afterwards, I was dismissed from office or killed without any regrets. Do you dare to bet? If you said you wouldn't let me The official is satisfied, and soon there will be more familiar faces from Ning Shu people on the Huangquan Road."
"Although I have been deposed as a king, I am not as good as before, but I can still live, and I can leave a direct bloodline for His Royal Highness Ning Xian. Alas, but if you are stubborn, huh, Fengyang It’s not a good place to stay.”
Looking at Xu Youzhen's ferocious face, Zhu Dianpei panicked. How could he let his children die because of him?
After a brief inner struggle, his eyes lost their sparkle.
He admitted it, he had to admit it, and at this moment, he regretted it.
He thought of Zhu Jinjun, Zhu Jinzhui's two children, and the wife who married him at the age of sixteen...
He hurt them himself.
Zhu Mianpei closed his eyes and paused for a long time.
"My king, no, common man Zhu Dianpei pleads guilty and accepts the decree."
"The sound is too low, I can't hear it."
"Zhu Mianpei pleads guilty and accepts the decree. Your Majesty is wise and wise. Long live your Majesty." This sound was almost shouted by Zhu Mianpei.
Xu Youzhen was very proud to see that she had broken through Zhu Dianpei's psychological defense. He glanced at Han Yong beside him and said softly: "Governor Han, you just scared Ning Shuren, don't worry about it."
Han Yong did not speak, but nodded slightly.
He didn't believe Xu Youzhen's words. If Zhu Mianpei didn't plead guilty, he would really dare to do this. However, firstly, he didn't like Zhu Mianpei. Secondly, if Zhu Mianpei didn't plead guilty, it would really appear that the officials in the court were evading the emperor, so When Xu Youzhen threatened Zhu Dianpei, he did not say anything.
But from this contact, Han Yong also made up his mind that he would not be able to deal with Xu Youzhen in the future. This guy was fat and sinister, and he could not have a close relationship with her.
After talking to Han Yong, Xu Youzhen squatted next to Zhu Mianpei while holding the poisoned wine.
"Ning Shuren, I will send you on your way." After saying that, he handed the poisoned wine to Zhu Dianpei's mouth.
Zhu Mianpei looked at Han Yong and others, and then at Xu Youzhen.
"No harm to your family. I hope you can keep your promise, Xu Youzhen."
"Of course, drink it, don't delay, I have to go to Prince Ning's Mansion to announce the decree."
Zhu Mianpei's heart was beating wildly. He closed his eyes, went to the wine glass, and drank it.
After watching Zhu Mianpei drink the poisonous wine, Xu Youzhen stood up, and the Jin Yiwei also let go of Zhu Mianpei at this time.
Only then did Zhao Cong have the chance to wipe the blood from his face.
Xu Youzhen was looking at Zhu Dianpei, while Zhao Cong was looking at Xu Youzhen, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "The censor of Xudu kicked me in the face, it couldn't be intentional."
Zhu Mianpei knelt on the ground, his head lowered, and the images of his whole life appeared in his mind. He was young, studious, and quick-thinking. He wanted to be a wise king, but he changed.
But how he changed was because of the civil engineering changes in the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Qizhen lost his teacher and humiliated the country, he met the down-and-out scholar who wanted to give him a white hat, and watched the two-year-old prince ascend the throne. It seemed that these things were all happening. One thing after another happened, he began to have ideas, which led him to where he is today...
There is some cramping in my abdomen, I am really going to die...
