Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The sun has not yet risen, but the bells and drums are already ringing at the entrance of the palace, and the ministers waiting to go to court have already arrived.  As an official in Nanjing, there are not many days when he goes to court, and it is probably even more rare to go to court in the palace in Nanjing.  The arrival of Emperor Tianqi in Nanjing was a doomsday for those who rebelled, but for many ministers, it was an opportunity.  As long as you can perform well in front of the emperor, you will definitely be reused.  Many people are crestfallen, while many are complacent.  There was a group of people surrounding Wang Lun at this time, and it could be said that it was very lively. Although he was very bored in his heart, he still had a gentle smile on his face.  Since the last incident, Wang Lun has been in Qingliu for a while.  I would rather die for my country than join the rebels.  Those who are thieves want to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.  "Go to court!" A eunuch in the palace shouted loudly, and then the guards standing in the palace also shouted loudly.  Suddenly the sound of going to court resounded throughout the palace.  The officials all arranged their disguises carefully before walking towards the palace.  When Emperor Tianqi appeared in the main hall, the ministers were already standing there. The foreman of the civil servants was Guan Yingzhen, who had just returned from Yangzhou.  Even after a night's rest, his face still looked a little tired.  The fact that Guan Yingzhen can appear here is enough to show that the disaster relief matters in Yangzhou have been properly arranged.  The number one military commander is naturally Wei Guogong. No one has the courage to compete with him yet.  Not only was he the Duke of Wei, he was also the Minister of Military and Aircraft, holding a high and powerful position.  "If you have something to do, please tell me early. If nothing happens, leave the court!" As soon as Emperor Tianqi sat down, Chen Hong opened his mouth and shouted loudly.  All the ministers below were silent.  No one stood up. Such a big thing happened in Nanjing, and no one knew what to say at this time.  "I have this report!" Seeing that there was some embarrassment in the court, Guan Yingzhen stood up quickly. Although his face was tired, his overall spirit seemed to be very good.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi looked at Guan Yingzhen with a smile and said softly: "Guan loves you. If you have something to say, it's okay to say it!" Emperor Tianqi can be said to be very considerate of Guan Yingzhen's disaster relief work.  satisfy.  There was no trouble, and not too many people died. At this time, it was already very difficult.  "Your Majesty, the disaster relief work in Yangzhou has almost been completed. I specially conveyed the order to the Emperor. I have written down all the specific matters in the memorial. Please read it to your Majesty!" As he said this, Guan Yingzhen took it from his arms.  He came out with a memorial, raised his hands above his head, and said respectfully.  Chen Hong walked down quickly, picked up Guan Yingzhen's memorial, and respectfully held it in front of Emperor Tianqi.  He reached out and picked up the memorial.  Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "This is a big event. I am deeply gratified that Ai Qing has done the most great work. I will hand over Ai Qing's contribution to the cabinet for discussion. Ai Qing has been quite tired after so many days. You should have a good rest."  "Just a moment!" "These are the duties of a minister. I dare not bow!" Guan Yingzhen said a few words modestly and then retreated.  His face was more relaxed than ever before, and his tiredness seemed to be relieved a lot.  It seems that I can complete the errand, and a burden has been lifted from my heart.  "My dear friends, who else has this memorial?" Emperor Tianqi put Guan Yingzhen's memorial aside and looked at the ministers below with a smile.  After a moment of silence, Luo Sigong strode out, saluted respectfully, and said, "Your Majesty, the rebels who rebelled this time have been arrested. Please issue an edict to punish them." Emperor Tianqi only allowed himself to arrest and interrogate the people.  Luo Sigong knew very well that he had not told himself about the case, so he had to grasp the right balance.  Nodding slowly, Emperor Tianqi glanced at Luo Sigong with satisfaction, saying that he was getting better and better at doing things.  After taking a look at the ministers, Emperor Tianqi said with a smile: "My dear friends, there are people in Nanjing who are recklessly launching wars and plotting evil. I wonder what your dear friends think, can you tell me?" "I and others deserve to be punished.  Die!" Everyone knelt down and said in fear.  These are all officials in Nanjing. If such a big thing happens in Nanjing, no one can escape the responsibility.  However, everyone was not too worried. They did not participate in the rebellion, so there was really nothing to be afraid of.  Moreover, if the law does not punish everyone, the emperor will not issue a decree to punish him.  He waved his hand and asked everyone to get up. Emperor Tianqi really couldn't punish everyone.  His eyes swept over everyone's faces, and Emperor Tianqi said in a deep voice: "This case will be handed over to Guan Aiqing as the presiding judge, with Luo Sigong and Wei Guogong as co-trials. In addition, Nanjing's Third Law Department sent people to hear the trial. I want everyone to know.  What is the crime of treason?" "Yes, Your Majesty!" Everyone understood that Emperor Tianqi's trial was just a formality.  This process must still be carried out, firstly for deterrence, and secondly for propaganda.  Emperor Tianqi looked at everyone and thought:?I can't help but feel a little uninterested, my mind is not on this.  The rebellion is in the past tense, what I have to do is to look forward.  "Your Majesty, I have this to say!" After everyone finished speaking, Wei Guogong stood up. It was time to speak for himself. If he didn't come out, he wouldn't know how long it would be until he spoke.  "Ai Qing, I have this memorial for you!" Emperor Tianqi looked at Wei Guogong expressionlessly, and there was not much emotion in his voice. No one knew what Emperor Tianqi was thinking at this time.  Wei Guogong did not speak directly, he gently lifted up his clothes, slowly knelt down on the ground, and said: "I am guilty and have betrayed the emperor's trust. Please allow me to resign from the post of governor of the Nanjing Fifth Army Governor's Mansion!" Emperor Tianqi suddenly frowned.  He frowned, looked at Wei Guogong in confusion, and said in a deep voice: "Why do you say this, my dear?" "The emperor ordered his ministers to guard Nanjing. Now there is a rebellion in Nanjing. At this time, I have neglected my duty and it is a crime.  ! The emperor ordered his ministers to preside over the reform of the military system in Nanjing. Instead of carrying out the reform, he provoked a rebellion. This was the second crime. Mr. Zhou was an imperial envoy and was assassinated in Nanjing. This was actually a crime of protecting his ministers.  Three. When the rebellion broke out in Nanjing, I failed to deal with it in time, which was the official's fault. This was improper handling. The fourth crime was that I failed to detect the rebels on the way.  "With these five major crimes, I cannot trust the emperor. I have no face to serve as the governor of the Central Military Command. I ask the emperor to allow me to beg for the bones." The Duke of Wei raised the Zhezi high and knelt on the ground waiting for Emperor Tianqi's reply.  Looking at the Duke of Wei who was kneeling on the ground, Emperor Tianqi had a complicated look in his eyes, and he shook his hands involuntarily.
