Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

"Is there any change in the capital?"

After Tianqi asked Zhou Yuji to get up, he asked.

Zhou Yuji understood the meaning of Tianqi's question, and knew that now was the critical moment to prove his innocence, so he replied: "Return to Your Majesty, I have something to say, and Hanlin Zhou Yanru wants to persuade my ministers to support King Xin's ascension to the throne and supervise the country, saying that His Majesty's life and death are uncertain. To establish slaves and soldiers to oppress the border, it is necessary to establish a lord as soon as possible to secure the country, and to give the minister 300,000 taels of silver. He also said that after the matter is completed, he will ask the minister to be a prince, but the minister did not agree, and now he is telling His Majesty the truth!"

Tian Qi turned around and looked at Zhou Yuji, staring at him for a long time.

Suddenly, Tian Qi said to Zhang Gui: "You take the enlisted corps and follow me to Xiyuan!"

With that said, Tian Qi rode away first.

Zhang Gui also followed with Sun Chuanting and other enlisted students from the Armed Forces Academy.

"I ask the empress to put the Daming Sheji as the most important thing, establish the Changjun, and secure the Sheji!"

When Zhang Gui came with the apocalypse, he saw many civil servants kneeling in front of Xiyuan.

These civil servants are still shouting loudly.

However, Zhang Yan still did not compromise. Although she is now forced to know what to say by these civil servants with "the country should establish a long monarch" and "the harem cannot interfere in politics, you should follow the words of loyalty and goodness", she still believes that it is better to establish a prince and establish a prince. Long shouldn't be broken like this.

You must know that although Zhang Yan in history was a queen, she was also a martyr who resolutely died on the eve of the Ming Dynasty's demise.

After all, as Chongzhen's emperor's wife, Chongzhen was not qualified to force her to die, but she still chose to die instead of being supported by the Qing court like the concubine Li Kangfei, which shows her chastity.

"It's just a village woman, but she really regards herself as the mother of the world? Now she is invited by all the officials, isn't she afraid that the history books will not contain a good word about her in the future?!"

Zhou Yanru muttered.

After hearing this, Chen Yan simply shouted: "Empress, don't you want to lose your virtue to the world because you don't accept the words of loyalty and goodness today, and scold the world for future generations?!"

Zhang Yan bit her red lips: "It's a rule set by a sage! It's also the ancestral system of my Ming Dynasty!"

After hearing this, Zhou Yanru couldn't directly refute Zhang Yan, so he turned to think of other ways, and wanted to draw more people to his side to force the queen, so he said: "She is so stubborn, she must be with many ministers. If the ministers have not come forward, we will first force the six ministers of the cabinet and other ministers to express their views as well!"

Chen Yan and others nodded.

In fact, when Chen Yan, Zhou Yanru and other civil officials came to Xiyuan to petition, except for the first assistant Han Yu who had been hiding in the Xiyuan cabinet on duty for fear of being beaten to death by the Donglin party members who hated him, the second assistant Zhu Guozuo He Zongyan, Sanfu He Zongyan, Minister of Officials Zhao Nanxing, Minister of Rites Wei Guangwei, Minister of Housekeeping Wang Yingjiao, Minister of Military Affairs Sun Chengzong and other important ministers also heard about this and all came to Xiyuan.

It's just that they didn't rush to petition, but stood on both sides, waiting for the opportunity.

After all, they are already in high positions, so there is no need to gamble on the success of the dragon. Naturally, they should be more cautious. Of course, this kind of thing does not require them to do it themselves.

"All the elders, all the ministers, are you going to watch my Daming Sheji in such a critical situation?!"

At this time, Zhou Yanru said that Zhu Guozuo and others came here, and said, he cupped his hands and said: "Please express your opinion! Speak for the world, and persuade the Zhonggong to follow the words of loyalty and goodness!"

"State your opinion!"

Other civil servants also pointed at Zhu Guozuo and other ministers and ministers and shouted.

Zhu Guozuo glanced at the other ministers and ministers, and then he just said: "Be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient!"

But these civil servants who petitioned were very reluctant to see these ministers and ministers being so wise and protective. Some simply scolded these ministers and ministers, and even directly pushed and pulled these ministers and ministers to express their views.

"Don't you gentlemen not want to establish a long ruler in the country, get rid of the external troubles as soon as possible, withdraw the western factory and the policy department, and sweep away the bad government, rebuild the national ritual system, and reappear the benevolent government?!"

Chen Yan also questioned at this time.

And shortly after Chen Yan questioned, Sun Chuanting and other enlisted soldiers appeared on both sides with firearms, the emperor's banner also began to appear, and Zhang Gui was also walking here with Tianqi.

Zhu Guozuo first saw this scene, surprised, and immediately expressed his opinion: "Your Majesty is not dead yet, you are in a hurry to change the emperor, you are staging a coup, rebellion!"

Chen Yan hadn't noticed that Tianqi had appeared, and now he was only furious at Zhu Guozuo's sudden statement, and couldn't help pointing at him: "Zhu Xiushui! You are talking nonsense, we are speaking for the world, for the community!"

"Ge Lao is not wrong, you are messing around, you are forcing the palace!"

Sun Chengzong, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also stood up and said something.

"Sun Zhisheng, why are you saying such things! Could it be that you have also become Wei Xie's accomplice?!"

Zhou Yanru was also very angry, because Sun Chengzong had always been very close to their Donglin Party, but he didn't expect Sun Chengzong to directly say that they were forcing the palace.

"It's really too much for you to do this!"

Zhao Nanxing, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, also said something against his will.

Chen Yan and Zhou Yanru glanced at each other: "..."

They didn't expect that Zhao Nanxing, the authentic Donglin Party, would not support people like themselves.

"His Majesty is here!"

At this time, Tian Qi signaled to the accompanying officials to call out.

Zhu Guozuo and other cabinet ministers Jiuqing hurriedly bowed to the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is welcome!"

Chen Yan, Zhou Yanru and other petitioning officials were dumbfounded, their faces seemed to be covered with question marks.

Zhang Gui had to admit that these civil servants were too anxious to remove the Xichang, to control the emperor, to stop the reform, and to take away everything he had in Xishan!

As a result, before the news of Xishan being massacred by Jiannu came, a coup was staged first.

Do you just want to replicate the event of supporting Zhu Qiyu that happened after the Tumubao Incident in history?

But it turns out that the emperor was really captured!

Can it be the same?

In Zhang Gui's view, some scholar-bureaucrats seem to never learn the awareness of rules, or even the awareness of investigating first and then acting. Thought!

Remember the rules made by the Confucian sages. Regardless of whether these rules are good or bad, the key is that you never strictly abide by them. You only ask others to abide by the rules set by the sages.

Obviously according to the Confucian rules, even if you are worried that the emperor has been captured or killed by Jiannu, and you can't leave the country without a master, you should follow the rules to establish a descendant and establish an elder, but there is another one who should establish an elder and believe in the king, and take the lead in breaking the rules! It is the same as in history that in the early days of the Southern Ming Dynasty, Ming Ming Fu Wang's family had the closest kinship with Chongzhen, but they had to say that Li Xian is not as good as Li Xian.

Although strictly following the establishment of a heir and elder will cause the young master to ascend the throne and lose power, at least the procedure is in compliance with the rules, and if the procedures are not in compliance with the rules, what rules can others be expected to follow? Undoubtedly, it will only cause everyone to be unruly, and only talk about who has the toughest fist.

Zhang Gui was speechless looking at these petitioning officials who looked like gamblers.

However, Chen Yan and other civil officials did not have time to reflect on themselves at this time, they only felt astonished and surprised now.

Chen Yan glanced at Zhou Yanru, and thought: "Isn't it the captive Tu Xishan, the universe changed hands, why did His Majesty come back intact?"

Zhou Yanru didn't know what to say, he was on his back now, and said, "What's the matter, this tyrant has come back, didn't Jiannu go to Xishan?"

"Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment!"

Tianqi called out at this time.

Qiao Yunsheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishments, stood up: "The minister is here."

"According to the law of the Ming Dynasty, how should those who conspire against us be dealt with?"

Apocalypse asked.

Qiao Yunsheng hesitated for a moment.

Apocalypse let out a "hmm".

Only then did Qiao Yunsheng reply: "Your Majesty, according to the "Law of the Ming Dynasty", all rebels, regardless of master or accomplice, will be killed. Grandfather, son, grandson, brother, and cohabiting clans will all be executed if they are over sixteen years old! Nine clans will be imprisoned. "

"Then deal with it according to the law!"

"These petitioning civil servants are all suspected of treason, and they will all be sent to prison first, and the people behind the scenes will be tried, and then they will be dealt with according to the law!"

Therefore, Tian Qi ordered in a deep voice.

Chen Yan fainted immediately after hearing this.

And Zhou Yanru couldn't help crying out in pain: "Your Majesty!"
