Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Thinking that after Emperor Chongzhen committed suicide, their whole family committed suicide, Zhu Youjian couldn't bear them to continue kneeling below, and said in a deep voice:

"Ni Yuanlu, Minister of the Household Department, Fan Jingwen, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, Li Banghua, the Yushi of the Zuodu, Shi Bangyao, the Deputy Shi of the Zuodu, Ling Yiqu, the Minister of Dali Temple, Wu Linzheng, the Minister of the Taichang Temple...you all died together"

Li Banghua was the oldest, and his legs were numb for a long time. Hearing Zhu Youjian told them to flatten, they were relieved at that time, and everyone hurriedly thanked them:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, long live long live long live"

After thanking Li Banghua and others for their gratitude, they stood up and looked back at the chief assistant Wei Zaode and others still kneeling there.

The emperor didn't seem to see them, Li Banghua and others didn't dare to speak, they could only stand obediently aside.

But how did these loyalists know that the officials kneeling there now are all those who surrendered and donated a lot of money.

Li Zicheng confiscated more than 7000 million taels of silver from their home, which was equivalent to the tax burden of the Ming Dynasty for more than ten years.

Just as Li Banghua stood still tremblingly, Zhu Youjian suddenly slapped the Long Shuan and yelled loudly:

"Clap clap..."

"The army of bandits besieged the city, and even the court ladies and eunuchs knew to help defend the city. As my Ming cabinet, where are you, Wei Zaode and Chen Yan?"

Luo Yangxing, my Jin Yiwei commander pointed out, where are you?Also, where are you honorable ministers? Are you worthy to be my subjects of Ming Dynasty?

Talking about slander all day long, framing Zhongliang, being greedy for food and wages, fish and meat of the common people, colluding with bandits, you are all there, and when I am in trouble, no one is missing..."

The more Zhu Youjian spoke, the more angry he became, the loud hall was buzzing, and the Long Shu case was torn apart by him.

When he showed such power, not only Wei Zaode and the others were afraid, but even Li Banghua and others knelt on the ground again and kowtowed again and again.

"I ask the emperor to punish you. The ministers deserve death for their crimes. The ministers are incompetent. The ministers are willing to resign from office and return to the land, so as not to add burden to Daming."

"Disarmed and returned to the fields?"

Hearing what Li Banghua and others said, Wei Zaode, Chen Yan and others rolled their eyes. Their good days are not over yet, and of course they will not be so stupid as to be dismissed and returned to the fields.

Wei Zaode and Chen Yan kowtowed repeatedly with their heads on the ground, their attitude was much more modest than that of Li Banghua and others, and their words were much nicer:

"The emperor calm down, I know my mistake, I am confused, I am willing to give 10 taels of silver to help Ming rebuild the army..."

It was good that Wei Zaode and Chen Yan didn't speak, but Zhu Youjian was so angry that he almost spurted blood after saying these few words.

Emperor Chongzhen called for silver donations for military pay. You all cried poorly. You were the first to donate silver when the rogues entered the city. They were all as much as 10,000+ taels, but you still couldn’t escape your death in the end.

Now that Lao Tzu has wiped out the bandits, it's too late for you to think about taking money just to keep the officials.

Zhu Youjian looked at them coldly:

"Wei Zaode and Chen Yan, now I want to take money. I tell you, it's too late. Is your money yours? It's all people's fat and people's blood and sweat.

"Are you convicted?"

Seeing that Zhu Youjian became more and more angry with his words, and then became furious, these people knew that they had slipped up and revealed their wealth.

However, there are so many officials in Ming Dynasty, which one is not corrupt, they feel that the law does not blame the public, as long as they do not admit the collusion with bandits, they should not be dismissed from office.first launch.. ..

By this time, they had lost their wealth and lives, and they were still thinking about keeping Wu Shamao.

Wei Zaode, who has always been the most adaptable to the wind, is also in a mess today. He couldn't see the emperor's mind for a while, so he kowtowed tremblingly:

"Your majesty, ministers and others are loyal and never corrupt. I don't know what the crime is."

Greed for money?Of course not, Zhu Youjian had no intention of arguing with them about money at all, they were not greedy, where would Zhu Youjian find money to help the people.

Not to mention dismissing their officials, he wants the lives of these soft bones.

Turning back to Yuhuatian, he shouted:

"Yuhuatian, hand over the evidence you collected to them and let them take a good look."

"According to the purpose"

Yu Huatian, after bowing to salute, took out some letters from his arms, walked up to Wei Zaode, Chen Yan and others, threw the letter writers on the floor, and said in a cold tone:

"Adults, please appreciate your handwritten letter."

Chapter 45

"What handwritten letter?" Everyone stepped forward to pick up the letter with their names written on it, opened it, and many of them fainted on the spot.

These letters are letters of guarantee they wrote to the rogues, and there is also the amount of money donated on it. This matter is top secret. How did the emperor get it?

How did they know that if they wanted to collect their criminal evidence, it would not be difficult for Jinyiwei and Dongxichang.

"Your Majesty, my humble servant has been wronged. We have never done such a thing. Please be aware of the details. Jin Yiwei must have wronged us."

Wei Zaode and Chen Yan saw that there were about 40 to [-] ministers related to the rogues. If these people were all removed from their posts and beheaded, there would be no one available in the court.

So they were sure that Zhu Youjian would not kill them, and immediately gave those people secret winks, and they all shouted in unison.Recommended reading ../../

But Zhu Youjian, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, would they need to plead guilty if they killed someone?

The emperor can make you live or die, he can make your name last forever, and he can also make you notorious for thousands of years.

People like Wei Zaode and Chen Yan should be nailed to the pillar of shame of Ming Dynasty forever.

"Come here, let Wei Zaode act like these people, all withdraw and beheaded to show the public. In addition, the whole family will be beheaded, and the three clans will be wiped out, and all family properties will be confiscated."

When Zhu Youjian said a word, a group of guards in Jinyi quickly walked into the Hall of Supreme Harmony, ready to withdraw Wei Zaode and others and kill them.

Some of these people were frightened and incontinent in an instant, kowtow like chickens pecking at rice, and many of them began to bleed from their foreheads

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. We know we are wrong. It is all caused by the White Lotus Sect. We have no other choice."

Zhu Youjian ignored them at all, just waved to Jin Yiwei, and the Jin Yiwei who came in stepped forward to grab them, ready to take them away and behead them.

Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu and others saw that so many ministers had been killed, Daming was going to be paralyzed, they knelt down hastily, and began to intercede for Wei Zaode and others.

"Your Majesty, it is impossible to kill so many people. It is better to let them commit crimes and perform meritorious service. It will not be too late to deal with them when newcomers fill in. If you kill them now, Ming Dynasty will have no one to use. Please forgive me."

Seeing that there are still many honest ministers who are pleading for Wei Zaode and other shameless people, Zhu Youjian knows that they are worrying about the fact that Daming has no one to use, and they are not protecting these traitors.

In the past, these gossip officials of the Qing Dynasty absolutely compared Chongzhen with death for their own memorials, and they seemed to not care about life and death.

It seems that they started to force the palace again, Zhu Youjian stared:

"Li Banghua, Ni Yuanlu, are you foolish enough to let them commit crimes and make meritorious service? What can they do, can they lead the army to fight, or continue to slander and frame Zhongliang?

In the second year of Chongzhen's reign, the Eastern Captives robbed and abused the capital, and the commander-in-chief Man Gui personally led his headquarters to stop the Eastern Captives.
