Xu Hongji smiled and said: "Your Highness, the ministers don't understand this, it has always been His Royal Highness the Crown Prince who wants to kill whoever he wants, and he can arrest whoever he wants, and it would be good if he could save his life as a courtier, how dare he have any ideas." ”

Zhu Cihong said: "Wei Guogong is really hidden! Do you think that by colluding with the Ministry of Industry and Shangshu, you can force the palace to submit to the palace by transferring troops to force the palace? ”

Seeing the helpless appearance of the prince, Xu Hongji was suddenly in a good mood, and said: "Don't dare to be, the ministers are also the ones done by His Royal Highness in Beijing, and the ministers are also doing this for the sake of the ancestors' Jiangshan Society!" ”

Zhao Zhilong even laughed and said: "Now tens of thousands of soldiers in Nanjing Jingying are also waiting with me to have the same thoughts, please Your Highness can learn from the advice of the ministers, don't add up the military punishment at every turn, let alone do things that violate the ancestral system, so as not to make mistakes!" ”

Dozens of noble ministers on the right class echoed one after another, and they were all in high spirits, which was particularly exciting.

Wu Weiye said: "The minister thinks what they said is very reasonable, please ask His Highness to issue an order to abolish the new policy and let everyone have a good year!" ”

Zhu Cihong refuted sharply: "Reasonable? What's the reason? What you have is a big landlord, a big gentry! Do you think this palace doesn't know that it was your uncle Wu Buju who was inciting businessmen to boycott the market? ”

Wu Weiye was taken aback, and saw that the contradiction could not be eased, so he had to say in a loud voice: "Are these new policies of Your Highness going to kill the rich and help the poor?" ”

"Hahahaha......" Zhu Cihong looked up to the sky and laughed, "Well said!" This palace is to eradicate the roots of chaos and create a generation of peaceful world! ”

The nobles and officials were stunned, thinking that the prince was mad, and felt a sadness in their hearts.

Suddenly, Zhu Cihong stopped laughing, stood up, walked back and forth in front of the throne, and seemed to say to others and to himself: "This palace is such a prince, such an iron blood!" Since God let me come down in this troubled world, I was born to be the prince of the Ming Dynasty, and this palace must govern these thousands of miles of mountains and rivers as solid as gold, and kill those who have brought disaster to the country and the people clearly! If anyone dares to stand in front of this palace, then let him die without a place to be buried! ”

After speaking, he turned to the side hall and shouted suddenly: "Someone! Take down all the rebellious ministers and thieves who forced the palace! ”

The nobles and civil and military officials were shocked, and they were surprised to find that more than a thousand guards of the Yongwei Battalion were holding guns, and murderous energy poured out from the east and west halls on both sides of the Fengtian Palace.

Not long after, there was a burst of gunfire outside the Fengtian Palace, and from time to time there was a huge explosion, which caused everyone in the hall to exclaim, moving knives and guns, will their lives be saved?

Wei Guogong pointed to the Yongwei Battalion that surrounded the entire hall, and said in a panic: "Didn't the Yongwei Battalion go out of the imperial city to fight the fire?" How did it end up here? ”

Zhu Cihong said coldly: "You dare to force the palace with such a good character?" Will you force the palace? ”

Zhu Guobi, Marquis of Funing, said loudly: "Don't get carried away, tens of thousands of soldiers in our Nanjing Jingying have already entered the city, and the victory or defeat is not yet known!" ”

"Really?" Zhu Cihong gradually recovered his mood, and said lukewarmly: "Xu Sheng, go and bring them up!" ”

"Yes!" Xu Sheng walked to the side hall and shouted outside the hall: "Bring them up!" ”

A team of Tianwu troops escorted several generals in armor and walked in, and scolded: "Kneel! ”

Wei Guogong saw that these generals were not the generals of the Beijing Camp and the Houjun Governor's Mansion in his charge?

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Jinglin, Xu Qingshan, Qi Guangyang and other generals of the Tianwu Army strode into the Fengtian Palace, saluted with a "whoosh", and said, "The last general has seen His Royal Highness the Prince!" ”

Zhao Jinglin said loudly: "The last general was ordered to transfer 20,000 Tianwu troops from Jiangning, and he has disarmed all the rebel rebel troops!" ”

Wei Guogong was horrified: "Impossible! My men only entered the city when they were young, how could you get the news in advance! ”

He suddenly looked at the nobles on the right class, gritted his teeth and said, "Who is informing?" ”

The noble officials standing on the right shift were all terrified, shaking their heads one after another to indicate that they had not informed, and at the same time staring at each other, trying to find out the informant who was eating inside and out.

Zhu Cihong said lightly: "Don't ask, it's not their secret." ”

He looked at Wei Guogong and said with a smile: "Capture the thief and capture the king first, first control the palace, then report to the court, and then reward the general of the Tianwu Army with the title, Wei Guogong's idea is really interesting!" ”

Zhu Cihong beckoned, and immediately a brocade guard walked out and took out a painting from his arms, which was painted with a scene where Xu Hongji turned over the candle flame last night, and a few lines of small characters were written on the right side of the painting, which were some important conversations of the nobles.

After all the nobles saw the contents of the painting, they were all terrified, you must know that it was a meeting in the Wei State Mansion, and there was not even a single person around the hall.

The crown prince's brocade guards not only kept spying on them secretly, but also drew the scene of everyone's planning with great interest, which was terrifying to think about.

Zhu Cihong looked at the expressions of the nobles with great interest, and said, "Continue to swell, continue to perform!" ”

Xiong Ming, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, knelt down on the gold brick with a snap, didn't care about the pain in his knees, and shouted again and again: "Your Highness, the minister is wrong, the minister was coerced by the Duke of Wei to do it......"

Seeing Xiong Mingyu dumping the pot, Xu Hongji looked at him with extremely contemptuous eyes, and said angrily: "You pus!" When it comes to the end, I still want to exonerate myself! ”

Zhu Cihong looked at the people in the right class, sighed, and said, "If you have any opinions, you can just say it, why do you have to do it?" Come on, take down all the people in the right class, put them in prison, and pick a day to chop them alive! ”

A large group of guards stepped on the gold bricks with iron boots under their feet, and they stepped forward to take people.

"Get out of here!" Xu Hongji, the Duke of Wei, pushed away a personal guard, took out a copy of "Emperor Ming Zu Xun" from his arms, and said: "Emperor Taizu once said: The emperor's relatives and relatives have committed crimes, and the light ones have a meeting with the relatives in Beijing, and the heavy ones have a meeting with the kings outside and the relatives in Beijing. ”

Xu Hongji shouted: "I, the Duke of Wei, am a family of relatives designated by Emperor Taizu, you can't kill me!" ”

Zhu Cihong smiled and said: "Coincidentally, this palace also studies the "Emperor Ming Ancestral Training", you read it carefully, what are the six words in the second sentence, don't miss it!" ”

Xu Hongji's face changed instantly, he didn't expect to meet an insider, the six words "except for rebellion and forgiveness......" are life talismans, how did he not dare to say those words in person.

Xu Sheng snorted coldly: "Take it away!" ”

Xu Hongji gritted his teeth and shouted: "I have an iron ticket to avoid death, but I can avoid death!" ”

Death-free iron coupons, also known as death-free gold medals, Hongwu three years, Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang Fenggong minister, Duke Li Shanchang and other six people, Marquis Tang He and other twenty-eight people, and gave death-free iron coupons.

The iron coupon for avoiding death is the highest reward given by Zhu Yuanzhang to meritorious nobles, if they break the law, they can be exempted from the death penalty with this iron coupon, and Xu Da has a hereditary iron coupon for avoiding death, which is kept in the line of Wei Guogong.

Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo hurriedly said: "My family also has an iron ticket to avoid death!" ”

Linhuai Marquis Li Zushu also said: "My family also has it!" ”

"I have it at home!"

“......”

Hearing that he was going to be arrested and chopped alive, all the nobles immediately panicked, although this death-free iron coupon was a life-saving talisman, and few of his families had a good end, such as Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others, but now it is urgent to save it!

Zhao Zhilong and some other nobles who did not have an iron coupon for avoiding death were suddenly dumbfounded, feeling that they had been pitted, and they were so dizzy that they went to play with other people's two lives to force the palace, and now the game is big......

Zhu Cihong was slightly startled, he didn't expect that even the death-free iron coupon came out, but he sneered in his heart, even if Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang is reincarnated, he can't save you!

He waved his hand and said, "All of them are sent to the edict and are waiting for execution!" ”
