Since the founding of the Ming Dynasty, if the emperor had any news to spread to the world, he would usually use "imperial edicts". šIIn the past, it was rare to see such edicts to the world throughout the year. But recently, edicts like this have become very common, and one can be seen almost every three days. "Zhong Bin, the former commander of the Jinyi Guards, abused his power, killed Zhongliang, and embezzled as much as 800,000 taels of silver. He was a heinous crime and cannot be forgiven. After a joint review by the three departments, the emperor's cinnabar imperial pen approved it, and it was set for xx, xx, month xx, at noon "The former Minister of War, Wang Shouren, colluded with the rebels and plotted to usurp the throne. The crimes of this rebellious minister and traitor were so heinous that it was too many to list. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, it was decided to be executed at midnight outside the Meridian Gate on xx, xx, xx." , sinned against the nine tribes of barbarians." "Yan Luo, the former Minister of Rites" The content of several successive edicts was to kill the important officials in the court who Jiang Xia relied on when he was in power. It is obvious to everyone that the current emperor has secured his throne and is ready to settle the score for Jiang Xia's usurpation of the throne. For a time, all the Jiang clan people were in danger. Some wrote "Book of Sin" in capital letters, admitting their mistakes and surrendering to Zhu Zaijiang. Some took advantage of the darkness of night to escape with their families. Of course, there were also some proud people from the Jiang clan who signed a letter asking Zhu Zaijiang to spare Wang Shouren and Yan Luo from death. For these people, Zhu Zaijiang would naturally not be polite to them. The re-established Dongchang, as well as the Jinyiwei who were replaced by Zhu Zaijiang's close ministers, took people by name. The ministers who jointly submitted the letter were all spared and were thrown into the sky prison one after another. Whether it is a veteran who has been in the officialdom for many years or a person of insight among the people. Everyone thought this was a major purge that burned bridges, a wave of political turmoil in the past. But in fact, only a few people who know the inside story will understand that Zhu Zaijiang has only one real purpose in doing this. That is forcing Jiang Xia to show up to the capital. In the Qianqing Palace, after Zhu Zaijiang read the news from Dongchang, Jinyiwei, and the Dragon Guard clan, he was so angry that he swept all the memorials on the Dragon Case to the ground. "Waste! They are all waste! So many people surrounded Fujian but couldn't find a mere Jiangxia. What use do I need you for? What use!" Zhu Zaijiang looked from Li Bayi, Hua Burianhun, and Kongkongmen The current head of Sikong Yuning. Facing Zhu Zaijiang¡¯s anger, the three of them all lowered their heads and did not respond. The furious Zhu Zaijiang slapped the dragon case with a bang, stared at Sikong Yuning and said, "Yuning, go to Fujian yourself and be sure to find Jiangxia." "Yes!" Sikong Yuning responded. With a cry, he immediately took a step back and evacuated from Qianqing Palace. After watching Sikong Yuning exit the palace gate, Zhu Zaijiang sighed, waved his hand and said: "Okay, you guys should step back, I want to be alone." "Wei Chen, please leave." Li Bayi and Hua Buried Soul Let's salute together. With the withdrawal of the two men, Zhu Zaijiang was the only one left in the Qianqing Palace. He leaned his head on the dragon chair and closed his eyes and fell asleep for a while. Suddenly he jumped up, got up and walked out of Qianqing Palace. After leaving Qianqing Palace, Zhu Zaijiang walked directly to the harem. Originally, Zhu Zaijiang should be accompanied by a group of honor guards wherever he went, but Zhu Zaijiang stopped them from following him. Arriving at the entrance of Kunning Palace, the eunuch guarding the palace door immediately shouted: "The Emperor has arrived" Kunning Palace immediately became busy, and all the eunuchs and maids who were not personally serving the queen ran out of Kunning Palace. He hurriedly saluted Zhu Zaijiang. Zhu Zaijiang waved his hand and walked into Kunning Palace. Inside the palace, the wet nurse responsible for taking care of the prince was coaxing the prince to sleep. After Zhu Zaijiang entered the palace, a group of palace maids serving Cui Ziwei saluted Zhu Zaijiang and were about to shout long live. Zhu Zaijiang immediately waved his hand, put his right index finger on his lips, and made a silent gesture. Zhu Zaijiang walked in front of the nanny and looked at the little prince in the nanny's arms lovingly. The little prince slept peacefully. Zhu Zaijiang watched for a while and then motioned to the wet nurse to take the little prince out of Kunning Palace. After the nanny retreated, Zhu Zaijiang retreated from the eunuchs and maids in the palace. Cui Ziwei, who was sitting at the round table now, was trembling, looking at Zhu Zaijiang with trembling lips, and said incoherently: "You what do you want to do?" "What do I want to do? Don't you know?" Zhu Zaijiang said this coldly. In one word, he walked directly to the inner hall of Kunning Palace and took out a riding whip. When Cui Ziwei saw Zhu Zaijiang like this, she quickly stood up and wanted to run away. But Zhu Zaijiang waved his right hand, and the whip was whipped down hard. ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Ah snap! Ah Cui Ziwei cried and howled as the whip struck her. This nightmare-like sound lasted for a full stick of incense before it ended. After the beating, Zhu Zaijiang, who was sweating profusely, threw down the whip and walked out of Kunning Palace. A group of palace maids and eunuchsSeeing him was like seeing a devil coming out of the abyss. His legs softened and he knelt on the ground, shouting, "Best farewell to the emperor." Zhu Zaijiang walked a few steps, turned his back to everyone and said, "Ask the imperial doctor to come and treat the empress." The empress gives me the medicine, it¡¯s a good time to look at the empress. If she has any shortcomings, all of you will have to pay for it with your life!¡± After saying that, Zhu Zaijiang walked away. After leaving Kunning Palace, Zhu Zaijiang ordered flowers to accompany him and left the palace directly. Hua Zianhun drove a carriage and took Zhu Zaijiang to the gate of Xiaoyao Villa according to Zhu Zaijiang's wishes. Today, Xiaoyao Villa has been surrounded by Zhu Zaijiang¡¯s people. Anyone inside will be followed by a dozen people if they take a step outside. It is impossible for people outside to enter. To put it simply, the people in Xiaoyao Villa have been placed under house arrest. The carriage stopped at the entrance of Xiaoyao Villa. Zhu Zaijiang stared at the four words "Xiaoyao Villa" and didn't know what he was thinking. Hua Zhanhun couldn't help but whisper: "Your Majesty, we have already released plans to kill Wang Shouren and Zhong Bin, but there is still no movement in Jiang Xia. Could it be that he doesn't pay attention to them at all?" No let's drag out Jiang Xia's wives and kill a few more." Zhu Zaijiang rolled his eyes slightly, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Issuing another edict to tell the world that Jiang Xia does not care about divine grace and is plotting against us. The crime of seizing the throne is extremely heinous. I think that he has died outside the customs, so I will no longer implicate his family. However, the death penalty will be spared, and the living crime will be unforgivable. In ten days, all the female relatives of the Jiang family will be turned into prostitutes! I obey." Hua Zianhun's eyes suddenly lit up, and he almost drooled with excitement. He rubbed his hands together and tentatively asked Zhu Zaijiang: "Your Majesty, can you please find a few beauties from Xiaoyao Villa to have a good time these days?" Zhu Zaijiang glanced at Hua Zianhun coldly and uttered a sentence calmly. : "If you want to die, you can do this." Hua Zianhun shrank his neck and quickly fell silent. However, he added in his heart: "There has been no movement in Jiangxia until now, and the person must be in Fujian. From Fujian to the capital, I don't believe he can arrive in ten days. In ten days, I will first bring him to Xiaoyao Villa Play with all the beauties before sending them to the Jiaofang Division.¡± PS: The finale is coming, and Tiger will try his best to complete it.
