Ming Dynasty: The army is forcing the palace, you say that Lao Zhu faked his death

To be honest, when the people first heard that they could watch the punishment of corrupt officials, they were skeptical.

Aren't these corrupt officials all officials protecting each other?

How could the court find them out?

It would be better to say that those who can be caught are usually petty greed, and those who are truly huge greed cannot be caught.

Otherwise, why have there been so many corrupt officials over the years?

Isn't it because those huge corruptions are still hidden inside?

However, despite their skepticism, the people came anyway.

Because they still have hope for the imperial court.

What if the court makes any changes?

After all, the recent Yingtian Mansion is different from the past.

It was His Highness Prince Ning who led the troops to settle in.

Although King Ning's army was large in strength, after entering the city, it neither disturbed the people nor infringed on their property.

This gave them great trust in King Ning's army.

It is precisely because of this trust that a relatively large number of people came out to watch the execution today.

They gathered near the high platform that had been set up, staring at the corrupt officials under the stage who were tied up, whispering to each other, and trying to find out the origins of these corrupt officials.

After asking around, they discovered that many of the people tied up here were high-ranking officials who could attend court meetings every day!

When the people interacted with each other, they became excited.

According to the scale of these prisoners, almost half of the officials in the imperial court have been dealt with!

The new Prince Ning actually has such courage?!

Amid the noisy noise of everyone, finally, there was movement on the high platform.

Many people dressed like guards were lined up on the high platform, and they looked awe-inspiring. You could tell at a glance that the person coming was definitely of high status.

Everyone craned their necks and looked up at the high platform, hoping to see some big shot.

Under the spotlight, Zhu Quan appeared.

He was wearing a robe embroidered with dark gold threads. He had a tall and straight figure and walked with the strides of a dragon and a tiger. His whole person looked like a scholar's elegance, but also had the decisiveness of a warrior.

Where have the common people seen such magnificent figures?

For a moment, they all stared at Zhu Quan, dumbfounded.

At this moment, the eunuch following Zhu Quan shouted loudly:"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is here! Bow!"

After the sharp voice reached their minds, the people suddenly woke up and knelt down to salute.

They didn't expect that Prince Ning would be so young!

He clearly looks like a young man who is not even twenty years old.

However, the temperament of King Ning Tongshen is clearly majestic and majestic that can only be found in the Tian family!

The people were thinking a lot, and their good impression of King Ning only increased.

Zhu Quan sat down on the seat set up on the high platform.

He looked down at the densely packed heads and spines in the audience, frowned, and said in a deep voice:"Let the people get up."

As soon as he said this, the eunuch standing next to King Ning immediately reminded in a low voice:"Your Highness , this is not in line with the rules. You represent the Heavenly Family, and kneeling down represents their respect for the Heavenly Family."

Zhu Quan said solemnly:"I am asking the people to come to watch the ceremony, not to kneel down. They all stood up and watched."

The eunuch heard Zhu Quan's words and was speechless for a moment:"This......"

He was about to say that this was against the rules when Zhu Quan cast a sidelong glance at the eunuch.

Just one glance made the eunuch feel even more stressed!

Although he didn't say a word, he gave people a feeling of breathless oppression.

The eunuch suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. He opened his mouth but couldn't say anything in opposition.

Immediately following Zhu Quan's instructions, he shouted loudly:"After the ceremony, everyone, get up!"

When the people heard this command, although they were full of doubts, they still obeyed it obediently.

When they stood there and saw Zhu Quan sitting high up, they realized that it was King Ning who had exempted them from kneeling down.

At this time, the people's good impression of King Ning increased.

Zhu Quan looked at the people standing below and felt a little satisfied.

Immediately afterwards, he stopped going into those useless long speeches and started getting straight to the point.

"Zhu Can!"

"The end will be here!"

"Let's get started. Read out everything you've prepared."

"yes!"

Zhu Can took out the evidence he had collected and organized, faced the people, and announced it loudly.

"Liu Xia, the Minister of Rites, accepted bribes of three million taels and more than 30,000 pieces of silk and satin......."

"Zhou Yan, the Minister of Civil Affairs, accepted a bribe of 10 million taels and 510,000 acres of land......."

"Chief Secretary Wei Xiang made a fortune of 8 million taels and seized 1.1 million acres of land......."

Zhu Can's voice was high-pitched, and the names, positions, and crimes committed by the prisoners below were clearly listed.

The people in the audience couldn't believe their ears when they heard those huge, astronomical numbers that were countless!

So much money!

That’s money they can’t earn in a lifetime, no, ten lifetimes!

And those officials actually committed so much corruption in just a few years of their tenure!

The expressions on the people's faces, from disbelief at the beginning, gradually turned into anger, and in the end, turned into deep resentment!

No wonder their lives are so difficult. It’s because there are so many corrupt officials and the country’s worms are lying on them to suck their blood. As a result, they are still living in poverty!

When they thought of this, the people couldn't bear it anymore.

Their eyes were red, and their angry gazes wanted to burn a big hole in the bodies of those hateful corrupt officials.

At the same time, they waved their fists and the crowd said excitedly:"Kill them! Kill these scum!"

At this moment, this is the biggest appeal deep in their hearts.

Zhu Quan came here for this purpose, of course.

He waved his hand in the air and ordered:"Start the execution!"

As soon as Zhu Quan's voice fell, the executioner, who had been waiting for a long time, raised his sword and slashed at the corrupt official's neck.

For a moment, blood spattered, blood flowed into a river, and dozens or hundreds of heads fell to the ground.

That scene was simply spectacular!

When those honest officials saw this scene, they couldn't help but fall to the ground and shouted loudly:"Your Highness is wise in eliminating harm for the country!"

With those honest officials taking the lead, the people also knelt down in unison. , shouted loudly:"Your Highness is wise!"

At this moment, their faces were so pious.

The gaze he looked at Zhu Quan was as fanatical as a loyal believer looking at his god! (To read Baoshuang novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

The atmosphere here is just right.

At this time, Zhu Quan stood up and publicly announced Zhu Yunwen's crimes:"The emperor's grandson Zhu Yunwen favored traitors and did not distinguish between loyal and traitors. He killed royal family members indiscriminately, allowed his subordinates to take corruption and bribes, and committed many evil acts."

"In public affairs, I have failed my family and country, in private affairs, I have failed the people of the world, and now I am depriving myself of the position of grandson of the emperor!"

After that, Zhu Quan took out the imperial seal at the right time and showed it to the people and officials.

This was to show that he was qualified to judge Zhu Yunwen's actions.[]

After all, the imperial seal represents the emperor's own feelings.

Now that Lao Zhu is away, mastering the imperial seal can almost be regarded as a representative of the emperor's will.

All the officials were shocked when they saw that Zhu Quan was holding the imperial seal in his hand!

That is the real imperial seal!

How could it be in the hands of Prince Ning?

Could it be said that everything that happened before was the result of an agreement between His Majesty and Prince Ning?

The more the officials thought about it, the more they felt they had guessed the truth.

If His Majesty hadn't personally granted the imperial seal, who would know where it was?

When they thought about it, they suddenly understood.

No wonder King Ning acted so boldly!

It turns out that I got His Majesty’s support secretly!

Thinking about it, how could Prince Ning do all kinds of deviant things without His Majesty's permission?

Now that Your Majesty has handed over the Imperial Seal to King Ning, it means that His Majesty has chosen King Ning as the successor to the next generation!

The ministers exchanged glances, and they all felt that they had understood His Majesty's intentions.

They knelt down in unison and shouted:"His Royal Highness Prince Ning is the chosen one! Please ascend the throne and take charge of the overall situation!""

"Please ask His Highness Prince Ning to ascend the throne and take charge of the overall situation!"

When the common people saw the officials in official uniforms, they all knelt down. Naturally, Master Yuan hurriedly knelt down.

Although they didn't understand the truth, they could still listen to the officials pushing for King Ning to ascend the throne. Understood.

After today's hearty killing of corrupt officials, their trust in Zhu Quan has reached its peak!

They believe from the bottom of their hearts that Prince Ning will not let them down after he ascends the throne. The anticipation!

At this moment, a scout suddenly came from the direction of the city gate.

The scout squeezed through the crowd and hurried to Zhu Quan's side.

His expression was very solemn, like���Something big happened.

Sure enough, the scout arrived at King Ning and reported:"Your Highness, King Yan's army has arrived near Yingtian Mansion! They even shouted the slogan of King Qin!" At first glance, this slogan was directed at Zhu Quan.

When the people heard that King Yan was coming, they looked at Zhu Quan with a somewhat uneasy look on their faces.

They have already determined in their hearts that Zhu Quan is the next emperor.

What's going on with the arrival of King Yan at this time?

Could it be that King Yan also wanted to be the emperor, so he came here in a hurry to have a showdown with King Ning?

Some people feel that they have seen the truth. 677

If it were in the past, when they faced this battle for the throne, they would just think that whoever could succeed would be fine.

But it's different now.

Compared with other princes who don't know what they look like, they hope that Prince Ning will inherit the throne!

Prince Ning not only has a friendly attitude, but he is also the one who owns the imperial seal.

This shows that in His Majesty’s heart, Prince Ning is already the definite successor!

In this case, who cares about King Yan, it’s business to fight him back!

Zhu Quan, standing at the top, had a panoramic view of everyone's expressions.

He calmly glanced at the officials and people in the audience, and said:"The matter of ascending the throne will not be raised until King Yan and I decide the outcome."

Hearing what King Ning said, the officials and people relaxed. Take a breath.

It seems that King Ning has no intention of avoiding the battle.

For this reason, he was even willing to postpone his accession to the throne.

Prince Ning really cares about his people!

Moreover, King Ning's performance made them feel very at ease.

Because they were also afraid that King Ning would be defeated as soon as he ascended the throne.

That would be embarrassing.

At that time, Ming Dynasty will have to change another heir.

But now, they don't have to worry about this problem.

When the officials heard that King Ning was going to war with King Yan, they immediately became excited.

Isn't this a good opportunity to make meritorious deeds right before our eyes?

How could you not put on a good show?

So, an official said diligently:"Your Highness, don't worry, we will immediately organize manpower here to repair the city wall and help defend the city.""

"Make sure not to let a mosquito fly in!"

This person has not forgotten that the city wall of Yingtian Mansion has been in a dilapidated state since Zhu Quan opened it with cannon. If you want to withstand the attack of King Yan's army, you must repair the city gate.

Unexpectedly, Zhu Quan listened. Hearing this man's words, he said without hesitation,"Just King Yan, why do you need to defend the city?"

The words were so confident!

It was as if he didn't take King Yan seriously at all.

In fact, Zhu Quan really thought this way.

The current King of Yan is no longer his opponent.

" Then, Zhu Quan blew a whistle, and a white horse galloped out and stopped in front of Zhu Quan.

Of course, not only the white horse came, but also Zhu Quan's generals led their troops, and the big snow dragons rode like snow waves, and more They are directly clustering behind Zhu Quan.

They will follow Zhu Quan out of the city to meet the enemy!.
