Chapter 886: Dominating the World
Listening to the courtiers below scolding, Zhengde didn't care!
Even if he heard that these courtiers wanted to kill him more than twenty years ago, he was still unmoved!
If he had known about this before this, he would have been furious, and then there would be a big purge in the court, but now, there is no need!
Because, he never planned to let these courtiers in front of him live!
All of them have to give Daming and give him a funeral!
Therefore, Emperor Zhengde was not moved in the slightest, but just quietly looked at these ministers in front of him!
The guards had already brought the poisoned wine that had been prepared a long time ago, glass after glass, neatly placed on the plate!
At this time, some of the ministers were still yelling, some were trying to escape secretly, and some were shouting loudly, trying to let the soldiers outside come in to save them.
But all this is in vain, Emperor Zhengde has long been prepared for today, and all the arrangements are seamless!
If this battle is won, then everything is easy to say, and he should have never been prepared for the poisoned wine, but if the battle is lost, then this scene must happen today.
He, Zhengde, will never allow these courtiers to continue to live!
The Ming Dynasty is over, and he is about to become the king of the dead country, so these ministers, as ministers of the Ming Dynasty, must also be buried together!
Some people tried to escape, but they were stopped by the guards, and then, under the signal of Emperor Zhengde's eyes, the guards forcibly pried open the mouths of these ministers who tried to escape, and poured down a full double of poisonous wine.
And then the second, the third......
At this time, Xia Yan, the head of the cabinet, came out with a slightly trembling body, picked up a glass of poisonous wine from the plate in front of him, his hands were trembling, and his pale face told everyone that he was extremely afraid of the cup of poisonous wine in front of him, but he still picked up the poisonous wine, and tried to stabilize his hand to prevent the poisonous wine from spilling!
He looked up at Emperor Zhengde, and then said, "Thank you, Lord Longen!" ”
The rewards and punishments of the Son of Heaven are all gifts!
Even if it is to give death, they have to say thank you to the Lord Long!
After that, Xia Yan gritted his teeth and drank the poisonous wine in his hand directly!
The poisonous wine had already gone down his throat, Xia Yan looked up at Zhengde again, as if he had drunk at this time, and death was coming, so Xia Yan also let go, threw the wine glass in his hand, and immediately laughed loudly: "Haha, haha, I didn't expect that my Xia Yan would be in the court all my life, and in the end I would end up like this, regret it!" Hate also! ”
What is Xia Yan regretting? What is he hating?
No one knows, perhaps, he regrets why he entered the official career in the first place, maybe, he regrets that he did not do his best in the overboard incident decades ago, perhaps, he regrets that in the following years, he rejected the palace change plan proposed by others several times!
In other words, Xia Yan was poisoned, and then the whole person collapsed to the ground, foaming at the mouth!
Emperor Zhengde still looked unchanged, quietly looking at the remaining courtiers!
There is no need for Emperor Zhengde to speak, but everyone knows what he means, nothing more than the next one!
Immediately, many of the courtiers below were even more crazy, some people were full of grief and indignation, and when they were desperate, they followed Xia Yan and drank the poisonous wine directly, while some people were unwilling to die, they studied hard for decades before they could become officials, and they struggled for decades to become important ministers of the court, enjoying the glory and wealth, and they were unwilling to become a dead soul under the poisonous wine.
They want to run for their lives!
But the guards around him are the closest confidants of Emperor Zhengde, and it is so easy for these courtiers to escape!
So they were all stopped, and then they were forcibly poured poisoned wine one after another!
The cabinet ministers, the six ministers, the squires, and the dukes and counts, one after another, were poured poisoned wine on their own or by themselves, and then poured on the ground and foamed at the mouth!
In just a few minutes, in front of Zhengde, there was no longer any living courtiers!
At this time, Emperor Zhengde continued to look around, surrounded by his descendants' guards, although those guards were extremely loyal, but now seeing the Emperor of Zhengde falling on them, they couldn't help but feel fear.
However, Zhengde said: "You are all my humerus, many of you have grown up under my own watch, you regard me as your father, and I regard you as your son and nephew, go, take my edict to Sichuan to assist King Jing well!" ”
After listening to hundreds of guards, although many people were hesitant, they still gritted their teeth and went away, and the edict they brought was the edict of succession, announcing that the third prince King Jing was the edict of the new emperor.
As for the crown prince in the Jingshi, everyone knows that he has already been given up by Emperor Zhengde!
Seeing hundreds of guards leaving in the dust, Emperor Zhengde looked at the rest of the people around him, there was already only a group of eunuchs left, and as for the officials and generals here, they had all been poisoned by him!
At this time, Emperor Zhengde sat down again, and then gave his last military order: "Pass the order to the whole army, retreat, alas, how much can you escape!" ”
But Emperor Zhengde himself did not move, and several big eunuchs on the side came over and knelt down directly, and one of them cried:
"Long live, let's go, although we are defeated today, we can still go to Sichuan, go to the northwest, lie down and hide my courage for a few years, and we can make a comeback!"
Emperor Zhengde shook his head: "I'm old, I can't walk anymore!" ”
Then he held out his hand: "Wine!" ”
The eunuch next to him hesitated, you look at me, I look at you, and finally Emperor Zhengde snorted: "Is it difficult for you to want me to be captured alive?" ”
As he spoke, he pointed ahead, the Ming army in front of him had been completely defeated, and even the left flank, which had not fought directly before, had also ushered in the onslaught of the Tang army, and because of Zhengde's final retreat order, the whole army was now running backwards, and the rear was the Tang army that was chasing and killing!
This place is not far from the front line, it is only a few hundred meters, and if the Tang army really wants to kill it, it will only be a matter of a few minutes!
At this time, the eunuch began to pour wine, but not one glass, but more than ten glasses!
Zhengde directly picked up one of the cups, and then, those eunuchs also picked up a cup very consciously!
Zhengde didn't speak again, but drank it all directly, and said after drinking: "Good wine!" ”
After drinking this cup, he poured it twice as much and continued to drink, one glass, two glasses, three glasses......
He's still drinking!
When Zhengde was drinking, the big eunuch on the side said: "Long live drink slowly, the old slave is also here!" ”
Immediately, it was also a cup of poisonous wine, and the eunuchs behind him, although their faces were different, some sighed, and some panicked, but they did not refuse the poisonous wine in their hands like the ministers before them.
Now, they were not stopped, and Emperor Zhengde didn't even ask them to drink poisonous wine, but they knew very well that as eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, they relied more on the Zhu royal family of the Ming Dynasty than the nobles, or even more on the Zhengde Emperor in front of them.
Emperor Zhengde committed suicide, even if they were able to escape from the battlefield to survive, but the kind of fear and, more importantly, the loss of power, can they still live?
Watching the eunuchs around him drink the poisoned wine one after another, Emperor Zhengde showed a wry smile, and then said: "Compared to them, you are more like Ming courtiers, not just my royal slaves!" ”
After that, Emperor Zhengde's face showed a hint of pain, he tried not to let himself fall, he wanted to sit!
He is the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, even if he dies, he will sit on the dragon chair and die!
In the end, he sat down on the dragon chair and stopped breathing completely, but his eyes were wide open, as if he was looking at the corpse of Mingchen who had been poisoned by him in front of him, and he seemed to be looking at the army fleeing like the ebbing tide in front of him, and he seemed to be looking at the sky!
He doesn't blink an eye!
About ten minutes later, a cavalry team of the Guards Army, which was chasing the rout of the Ming army, arrived at this small hill, and then they saw the corpses of a mountain, and the clothes on these corpses knew at a glance that they were all civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty.
What's going on?
The cavalry team of the Guards in front of me didn't know what had happened here ten minutes ago!
But what happened is no longer important, the important thing is that they saw a large number of corpses of the ministers of the Ming army, and more importantly, he saw Emperor Zhengde who was still sitting on the dragon chair!
Emperor Zhengde was dressed in a yellow dragon robe, which could not be more recognizable, although the cavalry were a little worried that this might just be a stand-in, but they still came over quickly, and did not turn over, but just took a closer look, but they still couldn't be sure that this was the body of Zhengde himself.
Because they have never seen Zhengde himself, to tell whether this person is really Zhengde's corpse, they can only wait for someone to come later, but there are many former Ming officials in the Tang Dynasty, they have all seen Zhengde with their own eyes, enough to distinguish the true from the fake.
After Li Xuan learned that Emperor Zhengde and a group of ministers of the Ming Dynasty had committed suicide, he was still a little surprised, damn, don't the bones be so hard, and play collective suicide!
But later, he caught a few prisoners, and when he inquired, he learned that it was Emperor Zhengde who poisoned a group of ministers with wine and committed suicide, which surprised Li Xuan even more, Nima, this Emperor Zhengde is really perverted enough, he doesn't count if he dies, he has to kill all the ministers before committing suicide.
This reminded him of Cheng Hongan in the Battle of Hengyang, who also poisoned his subordinates first and then committed suicide!
Obviously, Emperor Zhengde is still learning from Cheng Hongan, otherwise even if he wants to kill the minister, he doesn't need to poison the wine.
But Li Xuan was only slightly surprised by the death of the Ming Dynasty's monarchs, and this matter was now insignificant to him!
The important thing is that no matter whether Zhengde dies or not, he won the battle of Anping Town, and it was won neatly!
Today, it is enough to declare that the Tang Dynasty has ruled the world and become the only central dynasty in China!
