eldest son of Ming dynasty

Chapter 563 Killing Two Kings
Yan Song left the palace full of doubts. If it wasn't for Emperor Zhengde's usual wisdom, he would have been suspicious.

But now, I can only think carefully about Qingtun, the feudal king and Li Mengyang after I go back.

That is, the second day after the emperor summoned Yan Song, Qiu Yue finally entered Beijing.

When King Anhua rebelled, Qiu Yue was the first to lead the army to attack the town, and he was also the first to enter the Palace of Prince Anhua besides Jin Yiwei.

Reward him for meritorious deeds and go straight to the general army, guarding a town alone.Finally, he went directly from a guard commander to an independent general.

Military exploits are worth a thousand gold in any era.

Originally, the Ministry of Rites wanted to hold a prisoner offering ceremony, but it was rejected by Zhu Houzhao. A Tatar can be surrendered, and a rebellion can be suppressed. It only takes a few days before and after, but there is still a lot of noise, as if it has never been won.

But basic rituals are still required.

The emperor opened an early court for Qiu Yue.

In autumn, the capital is cloudless and the blue sky is as clear as washing. The Forbidden City is majestic and majestic. Among the Shangzhi personal guards, Jin Wu’s left and right guards are ordered to guard the imperial city. The armored guards stand in two rows from behind the Meridian Gate, all the way to Fengtian Hall. The marble steps of Fengtian Temple look crystal clear in the sun, which is dazzling.

The weather was so fine, the emperor was not in Fengtian Hall, but summoned his officials at Fengtian Gate.

He is wearing a bright yellow dragon robe, a jade belt hanging around his waist, and a black gauze winged crown on his head. His young figure is as tall and straight as a pine, with majestic imperial power next to him, invisible and irresistible.

Qiu Yue brought two personal guards into the palace to meet His Majesty, this was his second time, but after two times, he still didn't dare to raise his head to take a closer look at the emperor.

"Your servant, you are all in charge of the matter, and you will act as the general officer of Ningxia, Qiu Yue, to put down the rebellion under the order, and come back victorious. Now, I will send you the head of the anti-king Anni!"

"reward!"

"I thank your Majesty Long En!"

"Where is An Ni? Bring him here, and I will kill him with my own hands!"

"Your Majesty!" Wang Hua, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, came out, "Anyone who does not know loyalty and filial piety is not a human being. If you allow animals to roar in the palace, it will inevitably hurt your sanctity! I think you should be imprisoned according to the law, and choose a day to be executed to honor the heavens. Wei!"

Wang Bing, a scholar in the cabinet, had a different opinion, "It is an unforgivable crime to rebel against an army, and it is because your Majesty punishes it in front of the officials. This is doing justice for the heavens. How can it harm the holiness?"

Zhu Houzhao also wanted to meet this historical King Anhua.

So he turned to look at You Zhi, and this guy understood.

"Bring Anni!" Even though he was an eunuch, he shouted with a sense of righteousness.

Zhu Houzhao looked up.I saw two heroic guards pinching a downcast man wrapped in white linen. His hair was disheveled, his beard was extremely dirty, and he stumbled and lost his mind.

At this moment, he understood why Wang Hua stopped him.

Bringing this kind of person to this kind of place is indeed a bit 'disrespectful'.

Zhu Houzhao didn't have any extra interest, he just asked, "An Ni, as a descendant of my Zhu family, you gathered a crowd to plot rebellion, killed my people, and ruined the foundation of my country. Are you guilty?!"

This King Anhua planned for many years and made a ruthless uprising, but in an instant everything was wiped out, and he had to take his own life, and was brutally taken from Ningxia to the capital. Not only his mind collapsed, but his body also collapsed.

When the emperor asked, he was also in a daze.

"Crazy rebellion against the king! How dare you not answer your Majesty's question?" Zhang Fuhua, the censor of Zuodu, scolded.

"Your majesty..." King Anhua muttered, then looked up at Zhu Houzhao on the dragon chair in a daze, and then he smiled, "This is the emperor, haha, this is the emperor, this is what this king wants to be The majestic emperor!"

! !
The veteran who was still calm knew that this person had gone crazy.

The younger ones were frightened to death by his words. This is outside the Fengtian Gate, in front of the emperor, how can they say such words.

Zhu Houzhao also frowned,

In fact, I have another thought in my heart, just to let the ministers take a look, shouldn't such a prince be killed?
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please kill this beast!" Wang Hua was in a hurry, because he was worried that such a scene would happen.

But the emperor was not in a hurry, he got up and left the dragon chair, and walked down slowly.

As he approached, King Anhua struggled even harder, causing the iron chains on his hands and feet to rattle. His eyes did not avoid the emperor, and he looked straight at him.

"Your Majesty." You Zhi caught up two steps, he was a little worried that the emperor would continue to approach.

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand, "No problem."

This is not the time for women's benevolence.

"Your Majesty, kill the anti-king!" Some of the courtiers were more anxious than the emperor.

"I will carry on my father's last wish and shoulder the responsibility of my ancestors. If I don't kill you today, I will have no face to face Taizong Taizong in a hundred years." Zhu Houzhao cupped his hands to the sky, "Ancestors of the Ming Dynasty, the descendants of Zhu's Houzhao will kill you today in accordance with the will of heaven and the law of the country. Unworthy children and grandchildren, one is for the ancestors' foundation, and the other is to clean up the family, the sincerity of this heart, the gods of heaven and earth, are all witnesses."

The second half of the sentence was not loud, but the main officials standing beside Zhu Houzhao could hear it.Therefore, they also knelt down because of this, and then knelt down a large area one after another.

After the play was done enough, the emperor turned around and pointed at King Anhua, "Push this rebel out of the Meridian Gate and behead him! And pass on the family mansion, destroy the jade certificate, and get rid of the vassal. From then on, there will be no Anhua County King in Ming Dynasty! king,"

The emperor's words paused slightly here,

All the ministers listened carefully, for fear of missing a word.

"Prince Qing, did you call An Ni the emperor?"

Only Qiu Yue, who came back from Ningxia, knew about this matter. He only entered the palace for the second time, and he personally felt the power of the emperor. Everyone knows."

Zhu Houzhao suddenly laughed, "The Zhu family has been around for a hundred years since the Taizu, and it has been handed down for ten generations. I really don't know where the virtues and government are not cultivated, but there are two shameless things in this dynasty! If King Qing calls him For Your Majesty, what is I? Needless to say, King Qing and An Ni are guilty of the same crime, and the punishment is the same! This is not only a state matter, but also a family matter, I hope you all know it."

Zhang Fuhua, the imperial censor of Zuodu, asked for an order, "I have the courage to report that although King Qing joined the thief, it was because of coercion, and his original intention was not to rebel. If he is guilty of the same crime, it seems to be too serious. I hope His Majesty will clearly investigate."

Zhu Houzhao tilted his head, "Then, in Zhang Aiqing's opinion, what should King Qing be guilty of?"

"It's better to take away his title, detain him at home, and make him look back and think about his mistakes."

"Zhang Aiqing thinks that as a courtier of the Ming Dynasty, it is enough to tell others about the emperor, just think about it?"

Zhang Fuhua was at a loss for words for a moment, he didn't say that, it's not because he is King Qing, and he is not an ordinary person.

After Zhu Houzhao asked a rhetorical question, he took a cold look, and the Sacred Heart still changed, "I have already said that this is not only a state matter, but also a family matter. If the national law detains him, then the law of my family is to destroy the jade. A vassal. People do something, and they don’t. Don’t Confucian sages often say that benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and filial piety are more important than life? If loyalty and filial piety are ignored for the sake of survival, I, Zhu, will not recognize such a person!”

It's not easy for the ministers to talk about it, but they actually have some ideas. Outsiders help you spare your family members, but the emperor himself wants to be ruthless.It can only be said that Lao Zhu's family has a personality.

Zhang Fuhua bowed his head dejectedly and backed away, as if he knew how many people thought of His Majesty, so he actually wanted to save the Emperor from some kind of moral dilemma, but if the Holy Will insisted on this, there was no way around it.

King Anhua is a partial branch of King Qing, and only King Anhua is dealt with. In fact, Qing Fan still retains it.

But if it is King Qing, it is also the same crime, and this same crime includes the removal of the feudal clan, which means that the Qing feudal clan has been removed since then, and the main branch is gone, making it even more difficult for other partial branches to survive.

Most of the main vassals handed down from Zhu Yuanzhang's era are like big trees 'fruitful'.The relatively large Zhou Fan and Han Fan have thousands of clan members, large and small.

For Zhu Houzhao, it would be hard to find an excuse if he hadn't encountered such a thing as rebellion and treason.That's why he clung to it, even if he paid some public opinion price, he was willing.

Besides, he still has 'Traitor Yan Song'.

Killing the two kings this time just happened to stir up discussions in Beijing.
