In history, Shi Heng shined in the defense of the capital, but now there is no defense of the capital and no meritorious service, but it is undeniable that he is a capable person. Of course, his shortcomings are also great.

To be honest, there were many famous generals in the Ming Dynasty, and the most in the early Ming Dynasty, but all the famous founding generals died. Now in the entire Ming Dynasty, there are really very few who can surpass Shi Heng in leading troops.

Pull out Shi Heng from the short man.

Before touching Zhu Qiyu's bottom line, he could still bear Shi Heng.

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "What Chen Yushi said is not aimless. I already knew what you said. As we all know, before this, the imperial court has dealt with a group of unscrupulous people, and I have sent Jinyiwei and Dongchang to investigate. No matter who it is, once found out, I will never forgive you lightly."

As for what Chen Yi said, "Chen begs to inspect the censor and inspectors in various places, verify and report again, and anyone who dares to deceive the author should be beheaded!" 'Zhu Qiyu passed by lightly.

The trap in this sentence is too big, if Zhu Qiyu agrees, then his brain will be kicked by a donkey.

According to Chen Yi, in the future, the Metropolitan Procuratorate will verify whether the army has killed the good and pretended to be meritorious, so it is not up to them to decide whether they have killed the good and pretended to be meritorious?

Once the Metropolitan Procuratorate has this kind of power, it means that their hands have reached into the army.

In fact, history also began after the Tumu Fortress Change, and the military power of the Ming Dynasty emperors fell.

Part of the reason is the decline of the Dudufu of the Five Armies, through which the emperor controlled the army.

After the Tumu Fortress Change, the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies declined, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate took the opportunity to control rewards and punishments and extended its hand into the army.

Why did those leading generals listen to the emperor?

Because the emperor has the power to reward, punish and promote officials, if the Metropolitan Procuratorate controls this power, how many of them will listen to the emperor?

This kind of temptation to seize power has been repeated throughout the dynasties. It is a trap set by officials for the emperor. Have you stepped into it?

I'm sorry (good Zhao) Si, it's not so easy to pull it out.

You didn't step in?

That's fine.

As an emperor, it is a taboo to lose military power.

How could Zhu Qiyu allow such a thing to happen.

Yu Qian slightly closed his eyes, deep in his eyes was inexplicable, a little disappointed, but also fortunate.

Although he is a loyal minister, capable of writing and martial arts, he is still a literati at heart, a member of the civil servant class. From his standpoint, if the imperial envoy controls the rewards and punishments of the army, it will undoubtedly be beneficial to him. This is disappointing.

He is a literati at heart, and he can hear the meaning behind his words, but he will not stand up to oppose it. Zhu Qiyu can see the trap, which is a great good for the country, which is fortunate.

Zhu Qiyu didn't know how many civil servants participated in "I begged to inspect the censor and inspectors in various places, verify and report again, and dare to deceive the author".

But he can be sure that Yu Qian is not involved in it.

Chapter 69 Calling the Emperor to Return to Beijing

After the Tumu Fortress Change in the Ming Dynasty, civil servants intervened in the army, and the emperor's military power fell to the side. Later generations blamed Yu Qian, and the civil official group represented by him took advantage of this opportunity to successfully seize power.

It's just that although Yu Qian is a civil servant, he is not a representative of civil servants. After the Tumu Fort change, he was impeached by Yushi and Liubu Lianzhang. If he was really a representative of civil servants, how could he be impeached again and again?

After Emperor Mingmen was restored, Yu Qian's home was ransacked, and he didn't even have 100 taels of silver. He was surprisingly similar to Yue Fei.

After a few courtiers came out to report a few small and big things, it came to the focus of today's court meeting, Zhu Qiyu said: "The army has arrived thirty miles outside the capital, Hu Shangshu, you are preparing for the etiquette of the emperor's return to Beijing. "

As soon as this remark came out, the faces of all the courtiers changed slightly.

Yu Qian's complexion changed drastically, all the people in the court, half of them were promoted by Zhu Qizhen, but now sitting on the throne is Zhu Qiyu, and he has initially established his prestige, once Zhu Qizhen returns, the two tigers will fight each other , There will also be distinct factions formed in the court.

Daming, which was originally stable, became precarious again.

"Your Majesty, this is a big matter. Throughout history, there has never been a return of a captured emperor." Hu Wei came out and said, he didn't know Zhu Qiyu's attitude, so he couldn't confirm Zhu Qizhen's return to Beijing 037 etiquette laughing out loud.

People are old and refined, this old fox, a veteran of five courts, rolled his eyes and brought the ball back.

Whether the etiquette system is light or heavy, you decide.

Zhu Qiyu said indifferently: "What is the etiquette system for my enthronement?"

Hu Ming immediately understood that the matter of ascension to the throne must be much more important than the matter of a captured emperor returning to Beijing, but Zhu Qiyu's ascension to the throne has no etiquette, what courtesy do you need for an uncaptured emperor returning to Beijing?

At this time, Hu Wei thought that he understood Zhu Qiyu's plan to treat Zhu Qizhen coldly, but he never thought that Zhu Qiyu didn't intend to coldly treat Zhu Qizhen, but interrupted and killed him!

"I understand, the army has already arrived thirty miles away, and there is not enough time to prepare, so keep everything simple." Hu Wei.

Zhu Qiyu got up slowly, with a smile that was not a smile: "Your Excellencies, each perform their own duties, come with me to pick up the Supreme Emperor back to Beijing?"

…………

The army was stationed five miles away from the capital. Yuan Zuozong led a hundred people to send Zhu Qizhen into the city from Andingmen. Zhu Qizhen was inside the carriage and outside the carriage. Absolutely no escape.

The carriage stopped outside the Anding Gate, Cao Zhengchun stood in front of the carriage and said loudly: "Please get off the carriage!"

"I don't want to get out of the car! I don't want to get out of the car!"

Zhu Qizhen curled up in the corner of the chariot and shouted in panic.

"Come on, please get off the empress!"

After waiting for a while, before Zhu Qizhen got out of the car, Cao Zhengchun said, "Come on, please get off the car, the Supreme Emperor!"

Two eunuchs got into the chariot, supported Zhu Qizhen on the left and right and got out of the chariot.

As for Xining, he was handed over to Jin Yiwei long after the Daxue Dragon Riders were stationed, and asked him to go around Beizhen Fusi first.

Zhu Qizhen was trembling, and looked at the capital with horror in his eyes. When he was dragged out, he saw Cao Zhengchun. In his eyes, he could no longer see any respect, only indifference.

"The Supreme Emperor, Your Majesty and the ministers have been waiting for a long time."

Cao Zhengchun said indifferently.

Zhu Qizhen couldn't even stand upright when he landed, his lips were trembling all the time, his face was twitching, and he could only barely stand still by leaning on the eunuch who was supporting him.

Looking from a distance, the etiquette of returning to Beijing was extremely simple.

Not to mention the Changyinge music that only the emperor can use, there is no music for the imperial envoys, the clan, and the royal family to return to Beijing.

No guards.

There are no nine dragon lanterns.

There are no nine dragon flags.

In ancient times, the compliance of ritual and music was a great event, such as the triumphant return of the army, a few flags, a few lights, and any music played represented political status, and there was nothing wrong with it.

If only the Daxue Dragon Rider returned triumphantly today, hundreds of people would play the "Order of Triumph" at this time.

According to the (cgcb) etiquette system, even if it is easy for the Supreme Emperor to return to Beijing, it cannot be so simple. Only Zhu Qizhen is walking alone, which even looks a bit bleak.

This also directly demonstrated Zhu Qiyu's attitude.

Not a bit of pretense.

he!

This so-called overlord is not welcome!

Empress Dowager Sun, Empress Qian, and Zhu Jianshen were also there. Seeing her son walking alone, Empress Dowager Sun was undoubtedly furious. She clenched her hands under her sleeves tightly, but at the same time she also felt a sense of powerlessness.

Now Zhu Qiyu has mastered the supreme power, Zhu Qiyu recognizes her, she is still the queen mother, Zhu Qiyu does not recognize her, she is just the old queen mother in the deep palace.

Zhu Qizhen finally managed to stand still, and staggered forward.

A few hundred meters away, Zhu Qiyu stood behind the officials, watching Zhu Qizhen approaching with a blank expression.

On both sides, thousands of people were watching, and the soldiers formed a human wall to prevent the people from breaking in.

Some people directly put on sackcloth and filial piety, and looked at Zhu Qizhen viciously. If the soldiers hadn't stopped them, the people might have rushed to tear Zhu Qiyu to pieces.

There are 20 elites and 30 civilian husbands. How many relatives do they have, let alone millions.

Their sons, husbands, and brothers were buried in the North, never to return.

After the change of Tumubao, there were plain carts and white horses all over the capital, and there were people wearing sackcloth and filial piety everywhere, dragging cloth and sackling, and people who were in pain.

The common people are simple, they don't know the inside story of the Civil War, they only know that the emperor personally conquered and wiped out the entire army, who is not to blame?

From the looks of fierce and real eyes, although no one yelled 'I'm going to kill you', the pressure on people was really astonishing.

Their entire spirits and auras seemed to be fused together in the meditation, and the killing intent on their bodies was fully expressed from their eyes.

They wanted to tear Zhu Qizhen apart!

Even a martial arts master would feel timid in the face of thousands of people looking at him like this, let alone a cowardly Emperor Mingmen.

Zhu Qizhen looked at the pair of blood-red eyes that were devouring others, and trembled more and more in fear. He just felt that the distance of several hundred meters was too long.

If it wasn't for the trembling of his legs, he really wanted to run away as fast as he could. He didn't want to face those people who wanted to tear him apart.

It's finally over.

He could clearly see everyone's eyes, none of the courtiers on both sides knelt down and looked at him with complicated eyes.

Many of them were promoted by Zhu Qizhen, and they have been loyal to him for many years, but on the one hand, they are also angry with him.

Chapter 70 Eight Questions and Eight Kills!Overlord, please die!

If Zhu Qizhen was just captured, you can clean him up, but you actually acted as a prisoner, how can you wash him off?I can't wash it off.

Zhu Qizhen avoided the eyes of his courtiers, and finally saw his younger brother, the current emperor Zhu Qiyu.

With his hands behind his back, Zhu Qiyu looked down at him condescendingly, his eyes were extremely indifferent, it was not the eyes of the living, but the eyes of the dead.

Zhu Qizhen shuddered, and quickly looked at Queen Mother Sun with a begging gaze.

Empress Dowager Sun was very sorry, he understood what Zhu Qizhen meant: Empress Mother, - save me.

Zhu Qiyu said lightly: "Cao Zhengchun, have you verified that you are upright?"

"Your Majesty, it has been verified that it is undoubtedly the Supreme Emperor." Cao Zhengchun said respectfully.

Empress Dowager Sun's eyes twitched. How do you say this is the same as beheading a death row prisoner?

"Stand up straight!"

Zhu Qiyu shouted loudly.

Cowardly, stooped, he doesn't look like an emperor, no wonder he can do such wasteful things as calling the door.

Zhu Qizhen stood up straight subconsciously.

In history, he came back not like this, but with all kinds of etiquette and rules, and he was treated according to the emperor.

"Ming Shilu" has a sentence: "The emperor greeted him at Dong'anmen, drove into Nangong, and all civil and military officials greeted him."

Zhu Qiyu greeted this good-for-nothing brother with all manners.

Zhu Qizhen was shocked and subconsciously stood up straight.

Empress Dowager Sun trembled with anger, Empress Qian hugged Zhu Jianshen and cried with her eyes, the two women and Taoists could do nothing now.

Zhu Qiyu asked calmly, "Did you see the dead souls of 20 troops and 30 civilian husbands along the way?"

"Have you seen the angry eyes of the people in the capital?"

"Answer me!"

Zhu Qizhen just stared with terrified eyes, following Zhu Qiyu's shout, he immediately urinated, and a smell of urine came from his crotch.

Yu Qian frowned slightly. In the past, Zhu Qizhen had the radiance of the emperor, but now he has lost the radiance of the emperor, so unbearable.

Zhu Qiyu took a deep breath, and said word by word: "Emperor Taizu started his army at the end of the century and conquered the vast territory of our Ming Dynasty. Emperor Chengzu made five expeditions to Mobei, forcing Meng Yuanshen to almost move. At that time, how great was my martial virtue? abundant!"

"And you disregarded the objections of the ministers, and you drove 20 troops! 30 civilians! Buried in the Tumu Fortress! What face do you have to face Taizu Chengzu! How do you explain to them when you meet them in the underworld!"

Zhu Qiyu emptied the cracked clouds word by word, and his voice shook the sky, not only the courtiers, but all the people could hear his words.

Zhu Qizhen trembled again, and collapsed directly on the ground: "Zhen...Zhen...I...I was deceived by a traitor...Yes...Yes, it was Wang Zhen. Yes, it's all...it's all his fault..."

"Wang Zhen! Anyway, he has no bones, and there is no proof of his death. You can put the blame on him!"

Zhu Qiyu sneered.

"I'll ask you again! Are you the emperor, or Wang Zhen is the emperor! Could it be that Wang Zhen can decide on the conquest?"

"I'll ask you again! The civil and military ministers who accompanied you have repeatedly advised you and ignored them. All major military affairs are decided by Wang Zhen, the eunuch who oversees the army. Was it Wang Zhen who deceived you?"
