Chapter 117: Chongzhen, you are the faint-hearted prince!

From the dispute over the foundation of the country started in the Wanli Dynasty to the attack case, the Hongwan case, and the palace case, it declared the bright light under the sun, moon, mountains and rivers, and there were many ghosts and monsters hidden in secret.

In the eyes of Emperor Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty at this stage is like a ship with countless holes. If it weren't for the bigger ship, I'm afraid that the water coming in would be enough to make the ship sink!

Emperor Chongzhen did not expect that the ripples formed by his own decision would have such a great impact and trend under the promotion of the inherent trajectory.

‘This Ming Dynasty, those who are empty talk can make mistakes in the country, those who are exquisite and self-interested can make money. The complex interpersonal relationships behind it, coupled with the influence of party struggles over the years, have already been corrupted to the foundation.’

Emperor Chongzhen leaned on the dragon throne and looked ahead with a calm expression, and said in his heart: "This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is not taken advantage of this opportunity to eradicate a group of corrupt and degenerate relatives."

That's all sorry for the borers who gave them opportunities.

Since the Tumu Fort Incident, the group of honors and relatives in the Ming Dynasty were like mascots raised by civil servants, acting as the forerunner of a certain field of the Ming Dynasty.

These honored relatives in Beijing still don’t understand that they can only enjoy wealth and honor forever, and even regain some of their power and voice, except for being honest and loyal to themselves, the Emperor of Ming.

He was calculating me from behind, that was purely a short-sighted person!’

Thinking of the plans and arrangements that Wang Chengen, who represented him, had to complete, Emperor Chongzhen's deep eyes shone with glory.

Driven by the cruel reality, most of the strong army they rely on, even trustworthy generals and schoolmen, stay away from the capital and rushed to different regions to act as firefighters.

What Emperor Chongzhen did was undoubtedly a big gamble.

If it weren't for the fact that there were too many borers attached to the Ming Dynasty and many exquisite and self-interested people, Emperor Chongzhen would never have gambled like this, but the cruel reality must have made him make a choice.

"My...Zhu Chunchen, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"My memory... Tang Guozuo, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"My memory...Liu Wenbing, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"My memory... Wei Shitai, pay homage to Your Majesty!"

"minister……"

More than a dozen in-service honors and relatives from the Beijing Guard General's Office, without exception, were all specially summoned by Emperor Chongzhen and rushed to the Qianqing Palace to meet the saint.

Since the founding of the Beijing Guard Governor's Office, it is the first time that such a comprehensive summoning has been summoned. Zhu Chunchen, who even served as the left governor, has surprisingly discovered that there are so many honorary relatives in the Beijing Guard Governor's Office.

In the Ming Dynasty, where everyone is impatient, the most unobtrusive thing is to do things subtly.

Emperor Chongzhen understood this point and added a few loyal and reliable honorary relatives little by little.

For example, Liu Wenbing, the new Le Hou.

For example, Xuancheng Bowei Shitai.

"Don't give me a gift." Emperor Chongzhen looked calm, glanced at the group of honors in front of him, and said calmly: "Do you know why I summoned you?"

After Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo and other honorary relatives stood up, they either showed a confused expression or a puzzled expression on their faces, and they looked at each other.

However, many people are very clear in their hearts.

The emperor summoned them this time, probably because it was related to the farce that arose in the Jingji area.

But what can be done if it is related?

"Duke Cheng, I remember you came to pay homage to me before."

Looking at the group of honorary relatives in front of him, Emperor Chongzhen looked at Fang Zhenghua beside him, narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Talk the Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Linhuai Marquis Li Hongji, Dingxi Marquis Jiang Bingzhong and more than ten honorary relatives.

Secretly colluding with each other, ignoring the country of the Ming Dynasty, taking advantage of the disaster victims from Shanxi and Shaanxi to flee to Northern Zhili to raise the prices of grain, spread prices, etc., and take the opportunity to make a fortune in the national crisis?"

"Your Majesty! I have never said this."

Zhu Chunchen, who was shocked, was shocked. He looked at Tang Guozuo, whose face changed drastically, and then said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty!! I am wronged!"

Tang Guozuo, whose face changed drastically, stepped forward quickly, bowed and said, "I am a loyal minister of the Ming Dynasty. How could I do such a thing to destroy the Ming Dynasty's country?

Your Majesty, these are all villains who frame the ministers!”

It was a coincidence that the group of honors and relatives identified by the internal factory this time, except for Tang Guozuo, who was in the Beijing Guard Governor's Office, were either in the Shenji Camp and the Five Military Camp, or were idle in the palace.

However, for Emperor Chongzhen, the honorary relatives who were about to die on his list were in the Governor's Office of the Beijing Guard, but he didn't know that Tang Guozuo was alone.

‘Zhu Chunchen, you should feel fortunate that if it were not for the Xunqiu who was arrested this time, Li Ruzhen and the eight major thieves, and most of the arrested were marquises, then you, the Duke of the Kingdom, would not be able to escape death!

It’s a pity that several powerful troops I rely on have been sent to various places to put out fires. Otherwise, I will uproot all the Duke’s lineage and Ding Duke’s lineage!’

Whenever he thinks of the Jiashen national crisis, what Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen do, Emperor Chongzhen wants to execute them as soon as possible.

The shock and impact caused by rash execution of two dukes who were in the same state as the kingdom was not equal to the execution of more than a dozen marquises and counts who were in the same state as the kingdom.

A lean camel is bigger than a horse.

The Ming Dynasty today cannot withstand any major storms. If you are not careful, you will fall into a situation that will never be restored.

Even if we kill Zhu Chunchen and Xu Yunzhen and take away their hereditary duke, we will have to hold the righteousness in our hands and solve it in batches!

‘It’s okay, it’s still a long time. I have a lot of patience to kill you step by step.’

Looking at Zhu Chunchen and Tang Guozuo, Emperor Chongzhen looked cold and said, "One group can't be killed, then two groups will be killed, and three groups will be killed. This time, Tang Guozuo, Li Hongji, Jiang Bingzhong and others will be killed, and their hereditary titles will be taken away.

.

I want to see if I can shock the court and kill some guys' arrogance!’

"Fangzhenghua, take them down."

Emperor Chongzhen said indifferently.

"Come!"

When Fang Zhenghua heard this, he immediately roared. The eunuchs of the Xichang who were waiting outside the hall rushed into the East Warehouse with a knife. In the shock of the many honorary families, they actually slapped the Lingbi Marquis Tang Guozuo, Funing Marquis Zhu Guobi and seven others.

All the honors and relatives were taken down!

'It's also interesting. Zhu Guobi, who should have been guarding Nanjing and governor of the Beijing camp in the early years of Chongzhen, failed to do so under his own influence. This saved me from trying harder to capture the title!'

Looking at the captured Tang Guozuo, Zhu Guobi and his party, including the dumbfounded Zhu Chunchen, a smile appeared on the face of Emperor Chongzhen.

"Transfer these unfaithful and unfilial traitors to me to the Jinyiwei Imperial Guard, and issue an imperial edict to seize the title! Follow the traitor Li Ruzhen, the entire clan of the eight thieves, and execute him in Lingchi!"

Emperor Chongzhen's voice was not loud, but the many honors and relatives present were all dumbfounded.

How could this happen!

How could this happen!

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!" Zhu Guobi struggled hard, roaring with fear: "I have never betrayed the Ming Dynasty..."

"Chongzhen, you are the foolish monarch!" Tang Guozuo, who was taken away first, roared angrily at this moment: "If you believe in the villain's slander, the Ming Dynasty will perish sooner or later..."

"His Majesty……"

Outside the Dongnuan Pavilion with coldness, Tang Guozuo and Zhu Guobi, the arrested relatives, roared constantly, but their fate was judged by Emperor Chongzhen.
