Jingtai Fengyun: The First Absurd Emperor of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 475 The ten princes removed the feudal queen Qian and abolished her as a concubine
When everyone heard this, they all raised their heads in surprise.

The atmosphere is set in place, and the emperor quit?

Especially Zhu Qizhen looked at his younger brother like a monster.Originally thought that this time the throne would definitely be lost, even whether he could live for a long time was a problem, but my brother unexpectedly changed his face on the spot?

Zhu Qiyu glanced at Hao Yi.

Hao Yi hurriedly led a few young eunuchs, moved Zhu Qizhen's dragon chair to the bottom of the steps, and placed it facing east.

Zhu Qiyu gave way with a smile: "Brother, please take a seat."

Zhu Qizhen bowed to thank him, and sat back on the dragon chair.

As a result, Zhu Qiyu sat on the steps facing south with his concubine in his arms, Taifei Wu sat behind Zhu Qiyu on the left, and Zhu Qizhen sat at the front right under the steps, facing east.

Zhu Qiyu nodded in satisfaction, his elder brother, who has no eyesight, really had to be whipped before he was willing to turn around twice.

It has been Jingtai for two years, and he has only realized the real south-faced supremacy, and he is really good-tempered.

After sitting down, Zhu Qiyu would not really explain anything to Zhu Qizhen, but announced a decree to everyone:
"Shi Heng led the Beijing army to rebel and entered the city to besiege the emperor's own army. The crime was so heinous that the whole family, young and old, all abandoned the city. Shi Heng himself executed Ling Chi and executed it immediately.

The sons of the Sun family in the Marquis of Huichang's mansion instigated Gong Gong to conspire against the emperor. They should have been executed by the whole family, but because of their meritorious service in Sun Zhong's prosecution, their great-grandson, Sun Ming, would not die.Sun Zhong had three concubines and one concubine's daughter who reported meritorious service, and were also spared the death penalty.

These five people lived in houses given to them in Fengyang, and they were not allowed to leave the city without an edict.

Dingxiangbo Guo Deng assisted the Xuanmiao concubine to steal the son and confuse the concubine, which caused the empress Shangsheng to suffer.His son, Guo Song, stayed in Weinan Palace and conspired in rebellion. The whole family should have been executed.

But read Guo Deng's meritorious service, and he was able to wake up in time and report the truth.Now Guo Deng's family has been seized to seize the title, and the whole family has moved to Fengyang Zhongduci House to live in, and they are not allowed to leave the city without an edict. "

Guo Deng was overjoyed when he heard the words, at least the lives of the whole family were saved, so he quickly knelt down to thank him.

On behalf of the Sanfa Department, Wang Wen submitted the lists of Sun and Shi, and Zhu Qiyu made a decision, which was immediately executed outside the Meridian Gate.

The Fengtian Gate and the Meridian Gate were wide open, and outside the Meridian Gate there were ghosts crying and wolves howling. The executioner raised his knife and fell, and the heads of the sinners of Sun and Shi fell to the ground one by one.

Twenty years after the death of the King of Han, this was the first time that such a decisive murder scene appeared in Ming Dynasty.

The ministers in Fengtian Square were all terrified, and they were all glad that they did not participate in the mutiny that day, otherwise, with the emperor's decisive decision, everyone would have to go on the road.

The vassal kings broke out in cold sweat, but the emperor hadn't said to pardon the vassal kings' sins yet.If you do the math, it's not a big problem to kill all the vassal kings.

Sure enough, when everyone was stupefied, they heard Zhu Qiyu sternly order: "The seven kings of Chu, Liao, Ning, Yi, Zheng, Dai, and Jing led their guards to rebel, but they died on the spot instead.

These seven kings seized the king's title, abolished the feudal domain, confiscated their family property, and moved their clan to Changsha.

King Jin, King Han, and King Xiang were reduced to county kings, and all their patriarchs were expelled from the ranks, their properties were confiscated, and they moved to Changsha.

For the rest of the princes, the widow will arrange them one by one, and you can just wait for the imperial edict. "

Of the 21 princes, ten were abolished and eleven remained.

Of the ten abolished families, their princes and county kings have almost died in this mutiny. If there are still children in their feudal kingdoms who rebel, Zhu Qiyu is sure to suppress them quickly.

Since the seven kings of Chu, Liao, Ning, Yi, Zheng, Dai, and Jing were dead, the three kings of Jin, Han, and Xiang were seriously injured in bed.Most of the remaining eleven kings got the promise of the emperor, so no one stood up to object.

Zhu Qiyu was already very satisfied to be able to abolish the ten kings in one go.

If all the vassal kings were abolished, he would become Qin Shihuang.

Zhu Qiyu felt speechless after thinking about it: After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, the Taizu established the Emperor Temple in Nanjing to enshrine seventeen emperors, and Qin Shihuang had no share.

After the founding of the Qing Dynasty, the threshold of the Emperor Temple was lowered, and more than 100 emperors were enshrined, but Qin Shihuang was still refused to enter.

That is to say, until the Qing Dynasty, Qin Shihuang was despised among the emperors of all dynasties.

According to Zhu Qiyu's own thinking, in addition to Qin Shihuang being too cruel, it is also because he did not have any love for his sons, which caused all future emperors to bother him.

Especially Ming Taizu, who loves his descendants so much that he loves his descendants madly, he probably looks down on this kind of person even more: Qin Shihuang's actions were so extreme that he did not have a single capable and powerful vassal in Daqin.As soon as Qin Shihuang died, his ministers killed whoever they wanted to kill, and killed all Qin Shihuang's sons.

Anyway, for Zhu Qiyu, before his sons grow up, he still needs to have a few capable vassal kings, so as not to lose balance in the court.When the day comes when the ministers have no scruples, it will be too late to regret.

But the rest of the feudal lords were also eager to change the subject, so under the auspices of King Qin, the relatives discussed the disposal of Empress Qian, Empress Zhou, and Concubine Wanhuang.

Everyone quickly reached a consensus, demanding that Empress Qian, Empress Zhou, and Concubine Wanhuang be all abolished.

No serious emperor has a queen, but the respectful emperor has two queens, which is indeed very disharmonious.

This time, even Lin Cong, Ye Sheng and others refused to speak out.

Instead, it was Zhu Qiyu who talked about the love for the three sisters-in-law: "Although the three sister-in-laws knew that the eldest brother was rebelling, they did not report the knowledge and did not stop it.

But Empress Zhou is the biological mother of the crown prince. For the sake of the crown prince, the widow made an exception and ordered the Zhou family to continue to be the empress Gongrang, in charge of the Chonghua Palace, and not to leave the palace without an edict.

The Wan family lost their two sons one after another, and their feelings were sympathetic, so they were demoted to Concubine Chen, confinement in the Chonghua Palace, and they were not allowed to leave the palace without an edict.

Although Empress Qian is the eldest brother's first wife, she doesn't want to persuade her to correct the rules, but instead helps her elder brother to rebel. The crime should be executed.The widow deeply remembers the friendship of relatives, so she lowered Qian's family to be a concubine, and she was confinement in Chonghua Palace, and she was not allowed to leave the palace without an edict. "

No one expected that the emperor would choose to pick it up heavily and put it down gently, and all knelt down to praise the emperor's benevolence.

Zhu Qiyu blushed from being praised by everyone. In fact, he was not benevolent, but arranged a situation of fierce internal strife for the elder brother's harem.

The Qian family was downgraded from the first concubine to the ordinary concubine, so she must not accept it.Moreover, outsiders could not understand the meaning of the title of Concubine Ling.

In the eyes of outsiders, this is at most an allusion to the posthumous title of Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. If he is chaotic but not harmful, he is called Ling.

This is to satirize Queen Qian's incompetence, manage the harem in a mess, and still believe in Buddhism, talking about gods and gods all day long.

However, Empress Qian was so angry that her face turned green. Others don't know, but Empress Qian herself knows what the emperor means: Gong asked the emperor's favorite woman to be called Ling'er, but the emperor named herself a concubine. disgusting person?

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, Xue Huan suddenly stood up and said: "My lord, the emperor is no longer the son of Xuanmiao, and the crown prince is just the son of the emperor.

The Holy Majesty has his own eldest son, how can the bastard occupy the position of the crown prince, so I ask the Holy Majesty to depose the crown prince and make the eldest son the crown prince. "

He Wenyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, immediately stood up and echoed: "Reporting to the Holy Majesty, I believe that God blesses the people as a king, and the real legacy is in the world; the father has a son passed down by the world, and the Sigu is born in ten thousand years.

The sage Mo of these three generations is the model of a hundred kings.The eldest son of the Holy One is in Lunxian, and he should be in the East Palace, so as to follow the Ming Dynasty.

I ask the sage to give me your permission, and don't shake the hope of the world. "

After He Wenyuan finished speaking, another large group of people knelt down on the square.

Zhu Qiyu watched the crowd quietly, and in less than a cup of tea, at least [-]% of the people knelt down.

Zhu Qiyu was quite satisfied with this result.These people kneeling down, no matter whether they are speculating or submitting, at least they have an attitude.

But Zhu Qiyu would definitely not depose the prince hastily.

The crown prince must ask himself to abdicate when the situation is ripe, so that his children and grandchildren will sit on the throne without hidden dangers.

Zhu Qiyu's principle has always been the same, he must never follow Xuanzong's example and blame the mess on his children and grandchildren, and then let his children and grandchildren be tortured to death by the mess in front of the so-called wise king.

This is also the reason for not killing Sun and Zhu Qizhen immediately. No matter what the reason is, whether it is illness or depression, as long as Sun and Zhu Qizhen are dead now, they will definitely be blamed on themselves. Public opinion has left hidden dangers that are difficult to eliminate.

In addition, Zhu Qiyu also hoped that the Sun family and Zhu Qizhen could make some troubles again, so as to give him a reason to kill another batch of people.

On this issue, Zhu Qiyu really can't invent something new, or should he learn from Jingtai in history and concoct a golden knife case?
