"Zhisheng (Sun Chengzong), you and I were scholars of the same year and have known each other for many years. I swear to the heavens! This old man's entire family is willing to follow Gao Yang's Sun family as a model and go up to the city to kill the enemy! The day the city falls is the day my entire family dies for the country!”

"Wuwuwuwu! Boya (Sun Chuanting)! Jiandou (Lu Xiangsheng)! You and I have been courtiers in the same palace for many years, but this old man actually doesn't understand you. I've insulted you! This old man has let you down! I'm sorry!"

"Old Man! Back then, you were always more important than me, and I didn't want to admit defeat. Today, after hearing what Lord Wansui said, you are much more courageous than this father's generation of generals.

Without a doubt, tomorrow I will lead my servants to fight to the death with the raiders. If we die, we'll go to the King of Hell's place to drink!”

“……”

The other ministers also knelt down and wailed loudly!

The civil officials all swore that they were willing to donate their lives to defend the city.

Those generals who were born with great achievements would even bring their servants and descendants out of the city to fight the raiders!

Even Emperor Si Zong was secretly crying, feeling extremely remorseful.

Many of the ministers that Zhu Ci Xin had mentioned earlier had died because of his reckless command.

Emperor Si Zong had already decided that after defeating the raiders, he would shave his hair and become a monk to help those soldiers who had died in vain.

"I implore Your Majesty to punish these rebels to pay tribute to the souls of the heroes who sacrificed themselves in heaven!”

Li Banghua suddenly pointed at the traitors and said.

"I agree!"

"This lowly subject also agrees! I wish I could eat his flesh, drink his blood, and sleep on his skin!”

"Your Majesty, I still have a sword in my hand. Your Majesty, please allow me to execute the punishment personally!”

“……”

All the officials in the court changed their attitude of pleading for mercy and shouted to kill.

The civil officials and generals who were still standing in Taihe Palace were all loyal to Great Ming.

He had always looked down on those traitors from the bottom of his heart.

The reason why he pleaded for them just now was only a temporary measure.

After Zhu Ci Xin's reminder, they understood that these people had to be killed.

Not killing them was not enough to appease the people's anger!

Not killing them was not enough to comfort the souls of the heroes in heaven!

"Kill them? It was too easy for them. I'll leave these people to you. You can execute them here. Don't let them die. I'll still be useful when the raiders attack the city.”

Zhu Ci Xin said to the four cruel officials and the four commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

"Your humble subject receives the decree!"

The eight of them bowed and accepted the order.

"Ahhhhhh! Spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me!"

"Please, kill me! Kill me! Ah!"

"I deserve to die! My sin is unforgivable! Ah! Let me die! Let me die!"

“……”

Sizzle…

Puchi puchi puchi…

The entire Taihe Palace was filled with the smell of blood, the smell of burnt flesh, and the wails of the traitors.

In the hands of the Four Great Cruel Officials and the Four Great Commanders of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, these traitors could not live or die. Their only wish was to be killed!

Looking at the scene that was like a battlefield, even the most determined person could not help but feel fear. He was deeply afraid that he would fall into the hands of the four cruel officials and the Embroidered Uniform Guards.

Zhu Ci Xin, who stood high above, saw the expressions of all the officials.

This was his goal.

At the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, in order to warn the officials, every big shot had to go to the Human Skin Temple to visit the corrupt officials who had been skinned and filled with grass.

After all, those corrupt officials who had been skinned and filled with grass had long died. How could their deterrence be compared to his execution on the spot?

In times of chaos, kindness is not as good as power.

The civil officials of Donglin had been in charge of the government for many years, and the ministers had long ignored the sovereign's authority.

He wanted to establish his absolute authority in the shortest time possible.

He wanted to let the civil and military officials know that kindness came from above, and power came from above.

Their wealth, life, death, poverty, and poverty were all given to them by themselves.

He could make them rich for generations, but he could also make them notorious for thousands of years!

"Is there anything else, dear ministers?" Zhu Ci Xin asked the remaining officials.

After what had just happened in Taihe Palace, Zhu Ci Xin's prestige had reached its peak in the hearts of the civil and military palaces.

No one dared to answer the question.

The eunuchs repeated it three times before the Left Imperial Censor Li Banghua stepped forward and said,""Your Majesty, this old minister has another matter to report.”

"What's the matter?"

"Your Majesty, who should take over the positions vacated by the imprisoned traitors?”

Right?

If he couldn't fill in all these holes, it would definitely be a big problem in the future!

Everyone looked at Zhu Cixin.

Zhu Ci Xi swept his gaze across the ministers and said,""Now that the raiders are attacking, the most important thing is to defend the capital. All positions unrelated to defending the city will not be filled from today onwards.

In addition to this position, there were six departments, five temples (Dali Temple, Taichang Temple, Guanglu Temple, Taipu Temple, Honglu Temple), Ducha Yuan, Tongzheng Department, Hanlin Academy, Imperial College, Imperial Clan Court, and Imperial Hospital.

All the extra personnel would be transferred to the army to participate in the defense of the city.”

Hearing Zhu Ci Xin's words, the officials understood.

Not only did he not bury the traps of those big shots who had been killed, but His Majesty also wanted to remove some useless positions to participate in the defense of the city.

All the ministers nodded, feeling that this method was very good!

Looking at the officials in the court, Zhu Ci Xin knew that his absolute authority had been established.
