"Your humble servant will obey!"
At Azure Dragon's command, the Embroidered Uniform Guards immediately brought up the letters they had seized last night.
Looking at the box full of letters, Chong Zhen was stunned.
So many letters!
Could it be that all the officials in the court had been colluded with?
"Wang Chongen, read it for me. I want to see what kind of person is heartless and shameless!”Zhu Ci said to Wang Chong 'en.
"This old servant obeys the decree!"
Wang Chongen jogged to the wooden box and read,""Chief of the Cabinet, Wei Zaode. The cabinet was followed by Chen Yan. Minister of Civil Affairs Wei Dayou. Song Min, Minister of War. The six departments are all in the matter…"
As the names of the officials who had collaborated with the enemy were continuously read out, the expressions of the traitors gradually calmed down.
The law does not punish the masses!
They understood this principle.
Chongzhen, who was sitting next to him, looked more and more upset.
He didn't expect that the important minister he had placed his hopes on was actually like this!
On the surface, he was completely loyal to the imperial court, but he did not expect that he had long since colluded with the raiders and was prepared to sell him for a good price!
Fortunately, he only thought that they were greedy for money, but his integrity was not damaged.
He deserved to be killed!
They all deserved to be killed!
"Humph! He didn't expect this! My Ming Dynasty raised scholars for three hundred years, but in the end, we actually raised so many treacherous villains! So many books of sages, have they all been read into your dog's stomach?”
In Taihe Palace, Zhu Cihe's roars were endless!
The Ming Dynasty had always treated scholars well.
Not only did he not have to pay taxes, but he also had the privilege of using the relay station to travel through the state and county.
A scholar could make the whole family well-off; if a scholar was a juren, he would immediately become rich and noble.
Which of these ministers in the imperial court wasn't a Jinshi?
Which one of them didn't live a luxurious life under the protection of the Ming Dynasty?
"Men, capture all these traitors!”
Zhu Ci Xin shouted and immediately, a group of fierce Embroidered Uniform Guards came over to capture him.
"Your Majesty, you must not!" A white-haired official stepped forward to stop him.
Zhu Ci took a look. It was Li Banghua, the Imperial Censor of the Left.
Li Banghua, also known as Meng An, was loyal to the Ming Dynasty and once suggested that the prince go south to supervise the country. He was also one of the few important officials of the imperial court who committed suicide after the raiders broke through the city.
"Your Majesty, the raiders are imminent. If we start a prison at this time, it will affect too many people and make them unstable. Secondly, if all these people were killed, the imperial court would probably have no one to use!”
Li Banghua said in a bitter tone.
As a gentleman, Li Banghua naturally hated these traitors!
However, he knew very well that if he killed all these people, the central control of the imperial court would immediately be paralyzed.
This was also the reason why the traitors were fearless.
"Then what suggestions do you have?" Zhu Ci asked.
Li Banghua: " Your Majesty, you might as well imitate Cao Cao and order them to atone for their sins. After defeating the raiders, they would be punished.”
"I, second the motion!"
"I, second the motion!"
"I, second the motion!"
“……”
The other incorruptible officials also agreed with Li Banghua's opinion.
"Emperor, what Meng An said is the words of an old man who plans for the country. I think it's feasible."
Chongzhen also felt that Li Banghua's suggestion was the best solution now.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty! I'm willing to redeem myself with meritorious service!”
"Long live! I'm willing to donate all my wealth to wash away my sins!”
"Your Majesty! There are hundreds of servants in my family. My son can lead them to defend the city! I only hope that you can alleviate my sins!”
“……”
Li Banghua and the other important officials of the imperial court knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Even Chong Zhen couldn't help but advise Zhu Ci to not be rash.
Seeing this, the traitors could not help but shout loudly.
Since ancient times, the law has not punished the masses!
As long as he could avoid this calamity, he would have plenty of chances to live in the future!
Boom!
There was a loud bang.
The heavy imperial table in front of Zhu Ciao was flipped over by him.
"How dare you bark at me? Embroidered Uniform Guards, slap Zhen!"
"Your humble servant accepts the order!"
The four commanders immediately brought the Embroidered Uniform Guards to the front of those howling traitors and smashed their mouths with the back of their sabers!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Pa, pa, pa!
"Ah! Puff!"
"My nose is broken!"
"My teeth! My teeth!"
“……”
Many sinners were beaten until their faces were swollen and their teeth fell out. They covered their cheeks and knelt there, moaning continuously. Yin.
"You rebels. It's already a great kindness for me to let you take a breath. You dare to shout at the court? Who dared to make another sound? Jinyiwei. Pull out their tongues!"
"Your humble servant accepts the order!"
The four commanders accepted the order and stared at these traitors without blinking.
Those rebels immediately endured the pain and did not dare to make a sound.
"Hiss…"
The remaining ministers also sucked in a breath of cold air. Even Chongzhen could not bear to look at it!
The two emperors of the Ming Dynasty, Hongwu and Yongle, were both strong-willed rulers. They would kill people if they disagreed.
In front of them, civil officials and generals were as obedient as quails.
However, even the violent Emperor Hongwu and Emperor Yongle were not as decisive as the current Emperor.
Long live the present. If it wasn't the Qin Emperor and Han Wu, then it would definitely be the tyrants Jie, Zhou, and Sui Yang!
"Long live! Think twice! Now that the capital is in danger, please allow them to atone for their crimes."
"Your Majesty, you must be careful! Give them a chance to turn over a new leaf!”
"Emperor, governing a large country is like cooking a small fish. Everything must be treated with caution!”
Li Banghua and the other ministers were still begging, hoping that Zhu Ciao would change his mind.
"Redemption?
I-
No!"
