Chapter 1643 Change the evil and return to the righteous and loyal
Zhu Youjian had returned to the Wenhua Hall. As soon as he entered the door, he saw three women, Zhou, Tian, and Yuan, who had not yet been formally crowned queens and concubines, coming out of the hall to greet Zhu Youjian and congratulating him.
It is indeed gratifying to become emperor and to kill the traitor Wei Zhongxian!
Because it is still the mourning period, these three little beauties are all naked and wearing white mourning clothes, which has a different feeling.
They had just come from Prince Xin's Mansion - because Zhu Youjian had long been preparing to start a war in the Forbidden City, for the safety of the three women, they were not allowed to enter the palace immediately after the enthronement ceremony. Instead, they were asked to reply to Prince Xin's Mansion first.
After a while, waiting for Zhu Youjian's call.
After the overall situation in the Forbidden City was settled, Zhu Youjian sent several old people from Xindi to Prince Xin's Mansion to summon his three wives and concubines into the Forbidden City.
Seeing these three women, Zhu Youjian couldn't help but smile. He waved and said to them: "Pingshen, Pingshen... let's go into the house and talk!"
In the main hall of Wenhua Hall, a banquet, several cold dishes, and drinks have been placed.
Princess Zhou said to Zhu Youjian: "Your Majesty, I and my two sisters brought these from Prince Xin's Mansion."
"You are still thoughtful. From now on, all the cooks who cook for us will have to be old people from the Prince's Palace... If we have a chance, we should renovate the Imperial Hospital! We can't let those quack doctors come to see us again."
To be honest, there are still a lot of things that need to be rectified! Not only the eunuchs need to be rectified, but also the Royal Horse Imprisonment Army needs to be rectified, the Huangzhuang Huangdian needs to be rectified...even the Imperial Hospital needs to be rectified!
Compared with the Taiyuan Hospital established by the traitor in Nanjing, the current Beijing Taiyuan Hospital is simply a yamen designed to murder kings!
If you point at these quack doctors, Zhu Youjian has no confidence that he will live to be 90 years old...
What a myriad of things!
As he spoke, Zhu Youjian waved and called a young eunuch to come over and remove his armor. Tian and Yuan also came to help, and the three of them removed the heavy long body armor from Zhu Youjian's body.
Come down.
Without his armor, Zhu Youjian felt a lot more relaxed, and his stomach was growling. He hadn't eaten anything since last night, and he was really hungry, so he called the three of them.
Wives and concubines eat together.
Seeing Zhu Youjian's face looking a little tired, Princess Zhou said distressedly: "Your Majesty, you have been working really hard these past few days. You have lost weight due to fatigue."
Tian Xuan, who looks more lovable than Princess Zhou, also blinked his big watery eyes, "Yes, the prince, no, even the long live Lord didn't accompany us!"
Princess Zhou and Tian Xuan had always been at odds with each other. When they heard this, they immediately grimaced and said, "Sister, the emperor and the prince are different. The emperor has everything to do and has to take care of the whole world. How can he stay with us sisters all day long?"
Tian Xuan didn't dare to talk back to the princess, but he wasn't convinced either. He just pouted his mouth and sulked, looking very cute.
Yuan Xuanshi is the most unattractive among Zhu Youjian's three wives, but she is still a rare beauty. She has a good temper and gets along well with Princess Zhou and Tian Xuanshi. Now she hastily smoothed things over and said: "I'll wait until Long Live Master is busy."
After a while, I should be able to have some free time...Long live Lord, what do you think?"
Zhu Youjian nodded and said: "Of course...The emperor is not an errand who works hard to make up for his shortcomings. If you don't find the trick, all your hard work will be in vain! If you find the trick, it will be much easier!"
"Have you found the trick yet?" Princess Zhou asked, blinking her eyes.
"Of course!" Zhu Youjian laughed, "If I hadn't found the trick, how could I have used thunderous means to deal with Wei Zhongxian?"
Empress Zhou nodded and said with a smile: "Long live my sage, eradicate the traitors and appoint loyal and good people, and the world will naturally be stable. Long live my Lord, I can rule from the top!"
Zhu Youjian waved his hand and said with a smile: "Whether it is a traitor or a loyal person, the key depends on how the master uses it! The holy king must use the traitor to become a loyal person!"
Is there any other usage of this?
Not to mention Mrs. Zhou didn't believe it, even Mrs. Tian and Mrs. Yuan showed doubtful expressions when they heard this.
At this moment, a eunuch came in and reported: "Long live my Lord, Wang Tiqian wants to see you."
Zhu Youjian smiled and said to the three women: "The traitor is here...he is here to correct his evil ways!" He waved his hand and said, "Tell him to wait and see him again after I finish my meal."
While Zhu Youjian was having dinner with the three women, Wang Tiqian was waiting outside the gate of Wenhua Hall with his heart in his hands, and a memorial of confession in his arms... He is guilty! He is Wei Zhongxian His accomplice, Wei Zhongxian, is illiterate and cannot read or write. In the past few years, he, Li Wenzhong and Liu Ruoyu have relied on him to help him.
Wei Zhongxian has been beheaded! And the Hakka family has fallen into the hands of Queen Zhang, and I heard that he will be chopped off!
How could Wang Ti, who was an accomplice, have a good ending? Will he lose his life once he hands over the confessional memorial?
When he was feeling uneasy, a young eunuch who had come to the palace came out and led Wang Tiqian into the Wenhua Palace, which had almost become the Palace of the King of Hell.
"Long live my Lord, I'm guilty, I deserve to die..."
Hearing Wang Tigan's plea and receiving a confession of guilt, Zhu Youjian looked at the nominal leader of the Bureau of Ceremonies and asked with a smile: "Wang Tigan, what crime are you guilty of? Did you collude with Wei Zhongxian to conspire against you?"
"No, no! The old slave was wronged..." Wang Tigan was so frightened that he could not speak coherently.
Zhu Youjian laughed and said: "Are you here to confess your guilt, or are you here to cry out for injustice?"
"Of course I'm here to plead guilty...but the old slave really didn't commit any treason!"
"Oh, what crime are you pleading guilty to?"
"The old slave helped Wei Zhongxian frame Zhongliang!"
"Zhongliang?" Zhu You asked, "Who is it?"
"Zuo Guangdou, Yang Lian, Gu Dazhang, Wei Dazhong, Yuan Huazhong, Zhou Chaorui and others are all loyal and good..."
Zhu You asked: "Who are the six gentlemen of Donglin loyal to?"
"Zhong...Zhong Daming?"
Zhu Youjian snorted and laughed: "The emperor of the six gentlemen of Donglin is Emperor Daxing! Are they really loyal to Emperor Daxing? They think they are loyal, but in fact they want Emperor Daxing to listen to them... ...If they want to be truly loyal, they should make great efforts to exterminate the Donglu. Their opposition to Wei Zhongxian is just a party struggle, and there is no such thing as loyalty or traitor!
Wang Tiqian, you are not guilty of framing Zhongliang!"
If it is not established, you have to continue to find your own fault! Wang Tigan, who was kneeling on the ground, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and stammered: "Old slave, I still know this but don't report it..."
"Know what?"
"I know, I know about Wei Zhongxian and the Hakka family who kidnapped pregnant women and brought them into the palace..."
Zhu Youjian nodded, his tone already serious: "This is indeed a serious crime! It's nothing for you to help Wei Zhongxian fight with the Donglin Party... It's an official struggle! It doesn't matter who is right or wrong! But a pregnant woman entering the palace is suspected of usurping the country! Wang Tiqian, you are the chief minister of rites and found out about the crime of usurping the country, but you didn't report it to the emperor, what do you want to do?"
The old man quickly kowtowed, "I am guilty, I am afraid of Wei Ni..."
"Afraid?" Zhu Youjian snorted, "Is it just fear? With your seniority in the palace, not agreeing with Wei Zhongxian is just retiring... Why don't you retire?"
"Old, old slave..."
Zhu Youjian snorted again: "You agree with Wei Zhongxian for two possible purposes. One is to overthrow our Ming Dynasty; the other is that you want to embezzle! Wang Tigan, do you want to rebel or embezzle?"
Corruption? How does treason turn into corruption?
"Of course it's corruption..." Wang Tiqian is not stupid, so how can he admit to the crime of treason?
"So...how much greed?"
"Yeah, it's not much...all of them together, it's only a few hundred thousand taels..."
Zhu Youjian's face darkened, "Only a hundred thousand taels? Is it gold or silver?"
"Silver, of course it is silver!" How dare Wang Tigan say it is gold? The more greed, the greater the crime!
"That's all?" Zhu Youjian was very dissatisfied, "You have been in office for so many years, and you have only corrupted so much?"
Corruption without working hard!
Wang Tigan said with a trembling voice: "Long live my Lord, I am old and I really don't remember the specific number..."
"I'm so greedy that I forgot to count..." Zhu Youjian snorted, "You are really capable! Go back and think about it carefully, then count and list your family property, and then come back and plead guilty!" "
