Wei Zaode reacted in shock first, fell to his knees, and played angrily.

"Please ask the emperor to issue an order immediately, arrest Zhu Jie and return to Beijing, and severely punish him!"

With Wei Zaode taking away, the ministers in the hall fell to their knees at once, and impeached Zhu Jie again towards Chongzhen, this time, it was more ferocious than the attack just now, and Chongzhen's situation was even more difficult!

Chongzhen sat on the dragon chair in a daze, just now he still had a reason to prevaricate in the past, what about now, but how is it good?

Chongzhen looked at Fang Yuegong and Sun Chuanting, and asked the two of them for advice.

The two of them are also sweating profusely now, and just now there were at least a few people supporting the emperor and supporting the two of themselves, but now, there is no one! Killing so many court generals and arresting so many court generals in one go, is this Zhu Jie crazy? Don't talk about Zhu Jie, even if it is the emperor, he will never dare to act so unscrupulously, even if the emperor decrees, the six ministries and the cabinet will definitely dismiss him!

However, even if you don't want to come forward, you must stand up at this time, otherwise, the emperor will really become a loner!

"Your Majesty, although the mutiny is something that no one wants to see, both Zhenguo Gong and Shi Kefa have unshirkable responsibilities, however, after all, there is a reason for the incident, and it has been written in the chapter that someone secretly instigated the mutiny, and the mutiny occurred, not because of the improper rectification of military affairs by the Zhenguo Gong, the minister thought that the emperor would just warn the Zhenguo Gong and Shi Kefa, there is no need to make a big fight, on the contrary, the mastermind behind the instigation of the mutiny is the one who will be severely punished by the imperial court!"

Fang Yuegong bowed and played.

"Fang Yuegong! What do you mean? Even if the mutiny was instigated by someone in secret, Zhu Jie also started the incident, and if it weren't for his ineffective rectification of military affairs, how could the contradictions in the army be intensified? The mutiny of 5,000 people, if it were placed somewhere else, 5,000 people would be enough to occupy a prefecture city! It is related to the Ming Dynasty for thousands of generations, how can you scold a few words? ”

Wei Zaode shouted.

Li Banghua on the side echoed: "Lord Wei is right, Lord Fang, although Zhenguo Gong has made great achievements and has outstanding ability, however, meritorious service is rewarded, and there have been punishments, this is undoubted, the mutiny of 5,000 people has never happened since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, not to mention, Zhenguo Gong directly killed 37 generals in the army without asking for an order, and it is even more unscrupulous, is there still an emperor in his eyes?" If it is not severely punished, the governors of various places will follow suit in the future, how can it be done? Your Majesty, the minister thinks that he must be severely punished! ”

Li Banghua has always been solemn and square, there is no room for sand in his eyes, he really hates Zhu Jie's behavior, thirty-seven lives, kill if you say kill, so harsh, do you want to force Nanjing Wei to rebel?

Fang Yuegong only said a few words, which aroused the rebuttal of more than a dozen ministers in the court, and the words were fierce, even Fang Yuegong was involved, Fang Yuegong was about to cry, what a thing, this is really not a human job......

Chongzhen's face was pale, look, look! Zhu Jie, this kid, where is there anyone waiting to see him in the court? It's just a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats, and the crowd is angry, but how is it good? Moreover, where can it be done in such a killing spree in Nanjing? There is Nanjing, not Beijing, the emperor is far away, and there is no emperor himself, and he takes such drastic measures, isn't that forcing the lords of Nanjing to rebel? Someone instigated? That's thinking about it with your ass, you know that it's the lords who are making trouble behind their backs, but these lords, one of them has a Danshu iron coupon by their side, and they can dispose of one of them, and then it's okay, all of them are disposed of, how to deal with them? The country of the Ming Dynasty was helped by the ancestors of the people to help Emperor Taizu and Emperor Chengzu, and now these lords and ministers have been cleaned up, don't the people under that day have to scold the people of the Zhu Ming family for being ungrateful and unkind?

"Do you really want me to severely punish Zhu Jie and recall him back to the Jingshi?"

Chongzhen said slowly.

"Your Majesty, do we have any other way to go?"

Du Chan, the deputy imperial envoy of the capital, said angrily, "As soon as I arrived in Nanjing, Yongxing Bank collected money and forced dozens of money banks in Nanjing to close down or relocate. broke into Wenyuan Pavilion and made a mess of the "Yongle Canon" treasury in Wenyuan Pavilion, which is also a second crime; As soon as he arrived in Nanjing, he killed Liwei and killed seven people including Duan Ke, the commander of the command, brutal and unkind, and the third crime was also committed; Without an invitation, he beheaded Han Zanzhou, the eunuch of the Nanjing garrison, and Zuo Xiaoqing, the squire of the military department, for four crimes; 5,000 soldiers mutinied, and this crime is also five; Without an invitation, Xu Hongji, the former Weiguo Gong of Nanjing, and others were arrested, and this crime was six; Without an order, he beheaded 37 generals under the command of the army, seven crimes, seven serious crimes, not killing is not enough to anger the people, not enough to calm the hearts of the subjects of the world! The minister asked the emperor to arrest Zhu Jie and return him to Beijing, hand him over to the three legal divisions for joint trial, and sentence him to death! ”

Chongzhen's face turned completely dark, this was the most brutal impeachment he had ever heard.

"Capital punishment? Du Chan, you asked me to execute Zhu Jie? Once the Manchurian Tatars invaded, did you lead your troops to defend against a strong enemy? ”

Chongzhen was furious, slapped the book case fiercely, stood up and roared.

"Your Majesty!"

Du Chan stiffened his neck and replied: "The Tartar invasion is naturally resisted by generals, and the ministers are civil ministers, who are not familiar with military affairs, but they can't be punished severely because of this. Don't punish Zhu Jie, how to appease the people of the world! ”

Sun Chuanting stood up and shouted, "Lord Du, this is a bad word! First, you said that Zhu Jie took the opportunity to make money, but Yongxing Bank never bought and sold in Nanjing, and other money banks could not compete, so who is to blame? When the lower officials arrived, they heard that Yanzhou Hou Wu Yuchang and others almost demolished the plaques given by the emperor himself. Second, you said that you broke into Wenyuan Pavilion privately? Wenyuan Pavilion was attacked by thugs, and the officials of Wenyuan Pavilion were not well guarded, and the Tianwei military took action to protect it in time, how can it be destroyed? Third, Duan Ke and the others, as generals in the army, did not arrive at the point, but ran to the Qinglou for a hangover, shouldn't they be killed? If you don't cut it, why should you be strict with military discipline? Fourth! As a garrison in Nanjing, Han Zanzhou and others conspired to drop the rank of Jinyi Guard to raid the Bao Shipyard, and even the fire burning factory, Zuo Xiaoqing violated the military order, shouldn't he be beheaded? As for the mutiny in the army, although it should not be, it was also instigated by someone, and it was not the culprit behind the scenes, but it was blamed on Zhu Jie and Shi Kefa, what is the reason? These arrested generals instigated the soldiers to make trouble and mutiny, which is equivalent to rebellion, and if they don't punish the nine clans, they are already cheap, how can you confuse right and wrong and reverse black and white? ”

Fang Yuegong is just a weak scholar, and he abides by the way of Confucius and Mencius, so he is naturally not the opponent of these people, but Sun Chuanting is different, except for the way of Confucius and Mencius, he is from the battlefield, what scene has he not encountered? In addition, he is talented, and he has a good understanding of the situation in the court, and as soon as he comes out, he points directly at the key points of these people, and Du Chan is dumbfounded!

"Retreat!"

Chongzhen didn't decide how to deal with it after all, and directly ordered to retreat from the dynasty with a black face!
