Rule the Ming Dynasty Alone

After all, someone needs to take the blame for the solar eclipse and give the world an explanation. Now Zhu Youtang has taken the initiative to stand up and admit his mistake.

It's just that this fault cannot be borne by him, the emperor, but must be borne by others. As for the consequences, it is natural that the person will be killed.

It goes against the teachings of our ancestors and the way of heaven, so we must forgive him for his death.

Xiu Zheng's sword is aimed at the information channel of officials and eunuchs, but Liu Wentai and his likes and those eunuchs who miss the eyes of the civil servant group naturally do not deserve sympathy.

These people were originally the informants who arranged to enter the palace with ulterior motives, or they had been successfully instigated by people outside the palace. Whether they provided intelligence or peeked into the palace, it was a capital crime.

What Zhu Youtang is doing now is just to take out the ancestral system and refresh the sense of presence. At the same time, he can take this opportunity to clean up the inner court in a drastic way.

Although Huai'en was already dead, Zhu Youtang had asked Liang Fang to clean it up earlier, but the three feet of ice did not freeze overnight. Now if you want to completely master this palace, you need to clean it several times, and you must take the opportunity to connect the inside and outside.

As for the number one character Liu Wentai, he has actually already been on Zhu Youtang's must-kill list.

A good prescription was administered, which led to the death of Xianzong.

This is recorded in history books. From the time Liu Wentai prescribed the medicine to Zhu Jianshen's death, it took less than 10 days. As for the next unlucky emperor, he is naturally Ming Xiaozong, the current protagonist Zhu Youtang.

What is recorded in the history books is that Zhu Youtang caught a cold, and Liu Wentai and Gao Tinghe prescribed medicine. After taking the medicine, Zhu Youtang suffered from nosebleeds and dry mouth, and died after suffering for eight days.

Zhu Youtang didn't want to die young, let alone die from a cold at the hands of quack doctors, so he had already asked Liang Fang to keep an eye on Liu Wentai.

The reason why Liu Wentai was able to escape unscathed after getting into a big disaster was not because of his excellent medical skills, but because he was good at managing connections and was an important informant of the civil service group.

Imperial doctors can often enter and leave the palace, and they can also openly contact the people in the harem. After all, everyone will get sick and ask for medical treatment.

Liu Wentai relied on this special identity to collect some useful information from the palace, and thus became the guest of many important ministers.

But what he met after all was not the confused Mingjun Hongzhi, but Zhu Youtang, the Hongzhi Emperor who had already seen through the world.

Now that Zhu Youtang has taken control of the court and has evidence that Liu Wentai is acting as an intelligence officer for the civil service group, he must quickly eliminate this quack doctor who will harm his life in the future.

Huh? There is a conspiracy between inside and outside?

Is this... is this going to kill someone again?

According to the ancestral system, of course he will be killed!

But... this is just the beginning of the Yuan Dynasty!

…

After everyone heard the imperial edict distributed by Zhu Youtang, they couldn't help but stare. Especially when they learned that Liu Wentai and others were to be executed, many officials felt a sense of fear in their hearts.

Last year, a group of officials were punished in the Autumn Jue, and they were sent to the Western Paradise along with Qingyun Marquis Zhou Shoudu. Now, at the beginning of the first year of Hongzhi, a group of people were killed due to a solar eclipse.

But who can be blamed for this?

If Liu Jian and Xu Pu hadn't insisted that the solar eclipse last for more than three points and planned to prevent His Majesty from implementing the five military policies, the emperor probably would not have used such bloody methods to resolve the incident caused by the solar eclipse.

Not to mention whether Hongzhi was a murderous king, many of their officials were indeed not good ministers.

this……

Xu Pu, Liu Jian and other Qingliu couldn't help but look at each other. Although they could use solar eclipses to talk things, the aloof emperor in front of them could also use solar eclipses to kill people.

Not to mention stopping His Majesty from suspending the five military and political policies, they now want to draw fire and slash at the information communication channel between officials and eunuchs.

Zhu Youtang kept the secrets of internal and external affairs to the letter. Who would dare to take the risk of passing on the news from the palace easily in the future? It would be even harder for them to know what Zhu Youtang was up to.

The eighteen-year-old emperor was so cunning and calculated that he could only explain it if his soul traveled back in time three hundred years later, right?

Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Facing this holy will, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could only salute respectfully.

Today, Hongzhi holds the military power of the capital camp, is a wise and strategic monarch, and even knows how to calculate. The only way for them now is to surrender.

What's more, the cabinet and the six ministries are now almost in the hands of the emperor. If you can't borrow the power of heaven or etiquette, there is only a dead end to contend with this emperor.

The decree is issued, and the God of Death descends.

Since all the officials involved in the incident were present today, Jin Yiwei immediately came down to arrest the people who had offended God's will.

Your Majesty, please forgive me!

Your Majesty, I...I have no intention of spying!

Your Majesty, I don't dare to do it anymore, please spare my life!

…

Several officials involved learned that it was revealed that they had spied on the palace through eunuchs, and were condemned by the emperor. They also hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.

take away!

Prime Minister Wang already had a list of officials who needed to be apprehended. He led his royal guards to the officials on the list and dealt with them with great skill.

Faced with these officials who wanted to ask for mercy, not to mention that he did not have the power, and he did not think that these ministers who dared to peek at the emperor deserved forgiveness.

Now that the evidence is conclusive, it is natural to capture Beizhen Fusi, and then directly interrogate him.

When Wang Xiang noticed Liu Wentai kneeling on the ground, he couldn't help but smile and said: Haha... Doctor Liu is actually so cooperative?

Originally, officials like Liu Wentai usually did not come to attend the morning court, but he did not expect that he would take the initiative to join in the fun, which saved Wang Xiang a lot of effort.

Liu Wentai's face was uglier than crying at this time. He just came to join in the fun and eat the melons of the imperial struggle. He didn't expect that he was the biggest melon, but he still held on to the last glimmer of hope and said: Wang Qianhu, you are by His Majesty's side. You are a popular person, please give me a few kind words for me, and I will be rewarded generously!

It's not His Majesty who wants to kill you, but God who wants to kill you. Just wait and die! Take him away! Wang Xiang already disliked this fawning imperial doctor and said with a smile.

Others may not know it, but he knows that this is just a charlatanism. Earlier, he was only serving in the General Affairs Department, but in the end, Yinzi opened his joints and went to the Taiyuan Hospital. The death of the late emperor was inseparable from this person.

Two Jinyi guards stepped forward, picked up Liu Wentai and took him away!

Liu Wentai's face was pale, but he knew that he was doomed this time and couldn't help crying.

There were other officials crying with Liu Wentai. They really didn't want to die, especially because many of them were just pawns in the hands of big shots.

Guo Yong saw the reactions of the civil and military officials in his eyes, and said loudly with some pride: Retreat from the court!.

Your Majesty, long live my emperor! The civil and military officials present felt more and more terrible about their young emperor, so they knelt down and said respectfully.

This early court meeting was originally thought to be a wonderful counterattack by Qingliu, but Li Quan's death remonstrance turned out to be anticlimactic, giving Zhu Youtang a reason to go on a killing spree.

As for the emperor's subsequent interpretation of the solar eclipse, he directly included all civil servants and eunuchs. He used the solar eclipse to cut off the channels for officials to obtain palace intelligence through eunuchs, and even wanted to kill a group of people.

Zhu Youtang had already left the dragon chair, but the dragon chair was weighing on all of their hearts.

Xu Pu looked at Cheng Minzheng with complicated eyes, and then turned to look at Zhu Youtang who had left. In fact, he did not blame Cheng Minzheng in his heart. Even if Cheng Minzheng had just chosen to step out and stop the five military and political policies, with the young emperor's skills, Cheng Minzheng would probably have to die.

Hongzhi wants to strengthen his army, and I am afraid that no one can stop him, and no one dares to stop him.

The morning sun has risen high, indicating that Zhu Youtang's imperial power is at its peak.

In the next few days, the five military and political policies and other measures were implemented without any obstacles at all.

As Liu Wentai and other people who had touched the wrath of the sky were executed in the Western Market, all the officials in the court shut up, but there was no memorial that used the solar eclipse as an excuse.

For a time, the Ming Dynasty's court could be described as a sea of ​​chaos.

It's just that the water in the capital is temporarily calm, but the waves in Yangzhou, thousands of miles away, are already turbulent.
