At this time, Sun Chuanting had arrived at the Palace of the Qing Dynasty and sat opposite Zhu Cihong, who was straight and expressionless.
Sun Chuanting settled on the endgame between the two, while speaking, "Just now, Shangguan Lie has taken over the guard again, and the purge will be completed in at most an hour. Li Huazhen has returned to the East Factory, so Li Zhong was able to temporarily occupy it, and It was not your majesty’s will, but the attitude of Dingguo Duke. The patrol battalion was in the Ministry of War, and Zhang Shangshu had been in charge of it for many years. If he did not let him, Yang Ge would not be so easy to take away. He would return in half an hour at most. As for the Shuntian Mansion, The Ministry of Justice sends dozens of soldiers over, and they will be very obedient. Your Majesty should not know that Horqin is no longer a threat. Duke Dingguo has transferred Cao Bianjiao, and the 20,000 cavalry soldiers have been transferred back in half an hour. To Beijing."
Zhu Cihong's face was stretched straight. He didn't know what was going on outside, but Sun Chuanting walked in without hindrance. No one came to catch him for such a long time, Zhu Cihong was already very frightened.
Sun Chuanting lost his son, looked outside, and said: "Duke Dingguo has arranged the way for those outside, and it is not a bad treatment. Now, it's your Majesty."
Sun Chuanting's voice fell, and two inner monitors came in with three plates.
Three plates were placed on the chessboard, and Sun Chuanting reached out and uncovered the cloth on them.
The first one is Li Zhong's bloody head.
With a cry of Zhu Cihong, he almost fell from his chair in horror.
His eyes opened in anger, and his face was full of horror.
Accompanied day and night, the person whom I have just met, now has only one human head!
Ignoring Zhu Cihong’s panic, Sun Chuanting opened the second black cloth, and explained, “Yang Sichang and others conspired to imprison Yuan Fu and other cabinet ministers, and even poisoned their majesty and tried to establish a new ruler.”
Zhu Cihong yelled, hiding backwards frantically, saying: "No, no, I don't want to die, I don't want to drink..."
Sun Chuanting unlocked the third one again, saying: "Here are nine edicts. Whether it is poisoned wine or edict, your Majesty chooses himself."
Zhu Cihong was terrified. It was not the first time he saw the poisoned wine, but this time he was extremely strong. If he doesn't agree to one, he will die today!
Zhu Cihong walked over very uneasy, and tremblingly picked up the Nine Dao memorial, his eyes shrinking on the first one.
This is his'introspection edict', which is mainly to reflect on the'emperor' of the Ming Dynasty and restrict the emperor's power.
In the edict, Zhu Cihong clearly gave up the power to appoint and remove courtiers, no longer interfere with the operation of the court, and will serve as a symbol of Daming.
Zhu Cihong's face was straightened, and his hands trembled.
In his opinion, how is this different from usurping the throne
He shouldn't have listened to Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing and others. He should have deceived Zhou Zhengyun into the palace and killed him, where there are so many things!
Sun Chuanting could guess what Zhu Cihong was thinking, and said: "Your Majesty agrees or disagrees, and this edict will be issued. In addition, if your Majesty is really harmful to us, changing someone to be the emperor will not be too difficult for us. ."
Zhu Cihong looked at the pot of poisoned wine, his mouth twitched, and picked up the second edict.
This is an edict that requires the cabinet to step up its efforts to sort out the Daming system. The life-span leader has great powers, and it requires the practice of the'zhou-water relationship' to expand the people's ability to participate in politics and discuss politics-the group recommends political meetings.
Zhu Cihong didn't know what this council was, so he picked up the third way.
This is something substantive, agreed with Dingguo Gong Zhou Zheng, Zhou Yanru to be an official, Qian Qianyi succeeded as the first assistant, accusing Li Hengbing of conspiracy and disorder, imprisonment. Li Banghua was transferred to be the editor-in-chief, and Yang Sichang was appointed as the chief military officer to overcome Taiwan as soon as possible. The officials at all levels of the six ministries were also vigorously adjusted.
Seeing that Zhou Zheng's people came to the top one after another, Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth and continued to watch.
Then almost all of the content I saw was about the reform. These Zhu Cihong didn't care. After reading it, he silently looked at Sun Chuanting and said, "I want to see Zhou Zhengyun."
Sun Chuanting said: "Your Majesty will see it in the future. Now make a copy and stamp it."
Zhu Cihong's inner anger was raging, but he was apprehensive and frightened.
He knew very well that he had no choice, staring at Sun Chuanting, with red eyes, and said, "Don't you have the loyalty of Yang Ge and others? Zhou Zhengyun is so insulting me, is he really so indifferent and acting for the tiger?"
Sun Chuanting was startled, he vaguely understood from Zhu Cihang's words. The reason why Yang Sichang and others did these things, in the final analysis, still hoped that the old Ming Dynasty could return. They were comfortable with the past and resisted the reform from their hearts.
In short, they are all conservatives, and they are natural enemies with the reformists like Zhou Zheng!
Sun Chuanting silently said: "Your Majesty misses the first emperor. If the first emperor is alive, what should I be like? Will Yang Sichang, these loyal ministers, have a good end?"
Zhu Cihong snorted coldly, and said, "Father, a wise martial artist, a corporal courteous, how can you not end well! And you people, surely you will not end well!"
Sun Chuanting was too lazy to say something, and said: "Your Majesty, copy it, the minister still has a lot to do."
Zhu Cihong had no choice. He glanced hard at Sun Chuanting, took these edicts, put them on a chair, and took a pen to make a copy.
Seeing this, Sun Chuanting got up and left.
Li Huazhen followed behind, and said in a very respectful low voice: "There is no problem with the East Factory. The Forbidden Army, the patrol camp will soon resume like going out. The Ministry of Justice, Shuntian Mansion, you have to stare.
Sun Chuanting said: "You have the list, a total of 221 people, there is no need for the Trial of the Three Divisions, and it will be dealt with as soon as possible."
Li Huazhen answered, "Yes. Before Dingguo returns to Beijing, everything will be handled properly."
With a hum, Sun Chuanting walked toward the Daming Gate.
Cabinet building.
There was still blood on the ground, some guards dragged the corpse away, and hundreds of guards blocked the place.
Shangguan Lie wiped the bloody knife, glanced at Sun Chuanting, and said, "I haven't killed people for some time. Many people have forgotten. I followed Dingguo to fight in the north and south and killed many people."
Sun Chuanting glanced at the brother-in-law of Zhou Zheng and continued to move forward.
Ding Qi came out from inside and said, "It's all inside."
Sun Chuanting nodded and walked inside.
In the conference hall, Yang Sichang, Li Hengbing, Li Banghua, and Qian Qianyi are all present, but now they have different expressions.
When Qian Qianyi saw Sun Chuanting, a spirit stood up, and said, "Master Sun, Master Sun, this matter has nothing to do with me. I was the one who pushed it up. You must help me explain to Dingguo..."
Sun Chuanting did not look at him, but looked at Li Hengbing, Yang Sichang, and Li Banghua.
Li Banghua's expression moved, and he said, "I didn't do anything. If Duke Dingguo wants to inquire, just come."
Sun Chuanting thought for a moment, then turned his eyes to Yang Sichang.
Holding two black and white chess pieces in his hand, Yang Sichang did not look at Sun Chuanting's gaze, and sighed: "Chess is not as good as humans. If you accept your gambling, I will go to Fujian. The condition is that you don't punish you.
Sun Chuanting nodded, then turned around, not looking at Li Hengbing.
Li Hengbing looked indifferent, his eyes desperate.
He had planned for so many years, but it was nothing after all. (End of this chapter)
