Nangong.

Zhu Qizhen became the leisurely emperor.

Although the power of the military and state is gone, the highest treatment of the royal family is retained.

At first, he was extremely grateful.

Being able to stop eating dirt on the grassland, return to the prosperous capital, and reunite with Queen Qian and others.

Zhu Qizhen was already very satisfied. After all, it was difficult to talk about the things he had done before.

It's just that, as time goes by.

Coupled with the temptation of people who entered the palace from time to time, Zhu Qizhen's mind gradually changed.

He is no longer satisfied with this rich man's life.

Of course, on the surface, Zhu Qizhen admired the new emperor in every possible way.

Li Shimin did not imprison him. Everything in Nangong was as usual, and he could receive visits from civil servants and military generals.

You can go out if you want, just take more guards and go through the main entrance.

There was so much harmony between the two brothers on the surface.

Everything seemed so perfect.

In the early years of Jingtai, it was the 29th New Year's Eve.

Many civil servants from Xiu Mu came to Nangong to pay their respects to Zhu Qizhen.

In private, what I say is very direct.

"Your Majesty, this is the treatment you deserve. Do you need to thank me?"

"Yes, your throne was determined by the late emperor and cannot be changed."

Zhu Qizhen sat on the main seat, and his thoughts slowly changed.

But he still said

"You can't say that. If it weren't for Your Majesty, I would still be suffering at the hands of you.

What's more, I cannot escape the blame for the defeat of Tumubao."

I never thought about the civil servant opposite and just said nonchalantly.

"Why should the Supreme Emperor blame himself? The fiasco of Tumubao was all caused by Wang Zhen.

What does it have to do with you? The official has heard about it.

At that time, the Minister of War and others asked to see you and wanted to return as soon as possible, but the traitor Wang Zhen stopped you.

Otherwise, why would there be such a big defeat?"

"Yeah, you're just implicated."

With all the talk, Zhu Qizhen was really convinced in his heart.

After a glass of wine, Tumu Fort is all Wang Zhen's fault, what does it have to do with me!

After three rounds of drinking, someone even said bluntly

"In fact, let me tell you, the battle to defend the capital was not that difficult.

Millions of Qin Wang’s teachers in the world are all rushing to the capital.

Ye Xian's Wala army only stayed for three or four days and then ran away?"

"Yes, I didn’t even touch the city wall first.

An army of hundreds of thousands sounds like a lot, but the walls of the capital are so high.

Give them a month and they won't be able to win."

With such rhetoric, Zhu Qizhen couldn't help but believe it.

In fact, the achievements of the new emperor are nothing. Didn't he get the throne for nothing? He became the emperor without doing anything.

He is the one who should be grateful. That's right! As soon as this idea appeared in his mind, it began to grow wantonly.

This throne should have been mine!

Zhu Qizhen's mentality quietly changed in the few months after returning.

In addition, others wanted to follow the dragon's merits, This thought became more and more intense.

However, before he could continue speaking, he heard the noise outside.

"Presumptuous, this is the residence of the Supreme Emperor!"

"Yes, this is it.

The emperor's order is on my side, so I hope you will give me convenience.

Hand over the prisoners inside and I will leave immediately!"

Lu Zhong, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, was confronting the Yulin Guards of the Nangong Guards.

As for the criminals he mentioned, they were naturally several civil servants who were chatting happily with the Supreme Emperor.

"I have met the Supreme Emperor."

Seeing Zhu Qizhen coming out with several civil servants, Lu Zhong first saluted.

Then he explained his purpose of coming.

"Maybe there is any misunderstanding?"

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment.

"Your Majesty, these people were issued driving notices by the Third Division."

The Third Division refers to the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple and the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The driving post is the document issued by the Third Division to arrest people. Only with this can the Jinyiwei arrest people.

Lu Zhong said with his hands in hand, without much respect on his face.

He After the battle to defend the capital, he had become a die-hard loyalist to Li Shimin.

In just a few months, he rose from the rank of Jin Yiwei to command the Qianshi, and was promoted four levels to the rank of commander!

"Your Majesty, help me!"

Those civil servants were so frightened that they were all drunk!

If they fall into the hands of Jin Yiwei, who can escape easily?

Even if they don't die, they will still have to shed their skin.

"You guys, just follow Mr. Lu for now.

I will go to see your Majesty and intercede for you."

Zhu Qizhen was a little confused. Arrested on the 29th of New Year's Eve?

Jin Yiwei knew how to count the days.

He thought that these corruption and bribery incidents had been discovered, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

He was not unaware of many unspoken rules in the officialdom.

Most of the time I just turn a blind eye

"Walk!"

Lu Zhong asked the Jinyi guards to escort several civil servants and left. Before leaving, he said something pretentious:

"The Supreme Emperor will finally retire."

When I left, the smile on my lips could hardly be suppressed.

"Your Majesty, help me!"

The few civil servants who were taken away were still begging for mercy.

Their political sense was very sensitive.

They knew what happened almost immediately.

As for Zhu Qizhen, he still didn't realize anything.

He just waved his hands. ,"Here come, prepare the car."

His current idea is to go to Li Shimin and say a few good words.

Let the other party be merciful and deal with these people leniently.

But unexpectedly, he was rejected in the Wenhua Hall.

Zhu Qizhen was blocked from outside.

It is said that the emperor is discussing military and state affairs with his courtiers. The Supreme Emperor should please come back. At this moment, no matter how slow the response is, it is time for the person to react.

After Zhu Qizhen's inquiring, the Jin Yiwei was dispatched on the 29th of New Year's Eve.

From early morning to Wan had been arresting people, and dozens of people were arrested.

Without exception, these people were all civil servants and generals who were approaching Nangong.

At this time, Zhu Qizhen panicked.

He used all his strength to go The Ministry of Punishment and the Metropolitan Procuratorate inquired about the news.

As for himself, he immediately left Nangong with Queen Qian and fled to the palace where the Empress Dowager Sun was.

"Queen Mother, Queen Mother!

Help!"

Zhu Qizhen ran in in a panic and immediately knelt in front of Sun.

The other party was startled and quickly asked someone to help him up.

"what happened?"

Sun said in confusion.

Zhu Qizhen was so frightened that he said,"Your Majesty arrests people."

I'm going to be liquidated!"

After talking for a long time, he finally explained the matter clearly.

Sun's face turned upside down and he frowned and said

"Don't worry, you and the Queen will live here in Cining Palace.

The Ai family still doesn’t believe it, His Majesty can directly send people over to arrest people!"

"well."

Zhu Qizhen finally let go of his panic.

New Year's Eve.

Jinyiwei arrested dozens of people, but it only took one day for the Third Division to be convicted.

Their crimes were of many kinds, including those of the eunuchs who were attached to Wang Zhen. There were even more. The generals who failed to defend the city were also corrupt and bribed.

The evidence was conclusive and they were sentenced to death!

They were taken directly to the Meridian Gate and beheaded.

Many people wailed and begged for mercy, but the executioner waved his knife mercilessly.

"Bang bang."

The blood-stained heads fell to the ground, and the blood dyed the front of the execution platform blood red.

After that, Li Shimin did not do anything.

The court seemed to be calm, and no one talked about it.

However, from Ci Ci Ning Gong returned to Zhu Qizhen in Nangong.

He was so frightened that he closed the palace door tightly and refused to accept the visit of any civil servants or generals from then on.

All his thoughts were frightened.

Only now did he understand that this was a treat for him. Warning.

Dozens of blood-stained heads made Zhu Qizhen realize that the current emperor was a ruthless person.

There were many ministers of the third grade in scarlet robes, but Li Shimin killed them all with just one sentence.

It was still on the 30th day of the New Year's Eve..Zhu Qizhen, who was worried about the New Year, only reacted belatedly.
