Chapter 188 Even the Royal Family Can't Forgive

The prince-in-law Cai Zhen did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would come back alive, and he did not expect that before His Majesty the Emperor would return, he would not even be able to handle Xu Jin, but he still had confidence. After all, he was the emperor's uncle and an elder in the royal family. He believed that Emperor Zhu Houzhao would not do anything to him, so he explained like Liang Chu:

"I am also concerned about the chaos, for the sake of the country and country of the Ming Dynasty!"

"What a good person can abandon me for the country and country of Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile in her heart.

Immediately, Zhu Houzhao looked at Jiang Mian again and asked, "You are also for the country and country of Ming Dynasty?"

Jiang Mian's face did not flush and his heart was beating, "The same is true for me. I have done this unwise behavior because I accidentally heard the rumors. I have misled my fingers for a moment. Please punish Your Majesty."

"What a man for the country and country of Ming Dynasty. After all, you care more about the country and country of Ming Dynasty. He doesn't have me in his eyes, as a king and father, right? As long as I am really captured alive, you will definitely abandon me without hesitation and choose to be a new emperor! Isn't it?"

Zhu Houzhao asked the people in front of him with a hint of anger.

None of these people answered.

Zhu Houzhao knew that they had agreed. He realized the ruthlessness of these people and had to admit that even though these people were always loyal to him, they would still not hesitate when they should abandon him as a king.

"Since you don't regard me as your king and father, why should I regard you as your ministers? I will pass the imperial edict! I will punish Jiang Mian and Liang Chu for the crime of treason! I will be sentenced to death! I will be absent from the three clans as an official! His family members were sent to the outside world and served for ten years! Including Li Tianfu and He Tai, the family members, including the people of the three clans! Those who violate the violation will not be killed!"

Zhu Houzhao ordered coldly.

Immediately, Zhu Houzhao looked at the prince-in-law Cai Zhen, the royal relative!

When Zhu Houzhao thought of the fact that after Chongzhen committed suicide in history, his relative Zhou Kui did not hesitate to give his grandson a thief, he still made up his mind: "The prince-in-law Cai Zhen was also sentenced to the death for the crime of conspiracy!"

Although the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, Liang Chu, the son-in-law of the Prince Cai Zhen, and the secretary of the Zhanshen Jiang Mian knew that the emperor was cruel and ruthless, at this moment, when he heard that he was about to be executed, he was still a little difficult to face.

Liang Chu, the left assistant minister of the Ministry of Rites, fainted directly.

Secretary Jiang Mian kowtowed directly: "Your Majesty! I know my crime! I am wrong! I should not misinterpret the words of the saints and despise the king and father. I should not have the intention to abandon Your Majesty! Please forgive me and forgive my family, wuwu!"

"beg for mercy?"

“Is it useful to beg for mercy?”

"I believe that if I was really captured alive, no matter how much I beg for mercy, you will definitely not save me! Since that is the case, why do I need to pity you! I am not a ruthless person, otherwise you will not be given an official title; I am not a person who does not have the affection, otherwise you will not increase your salary and income; but you are impatient to abandon me! There is no right from the monarch and minister to me, how do you ask me to forgive you!"

Zhu Houzhao sneered and then shouted loudly.

The prince-in-law Cai Zhen looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise at this time: "Your Majesty, will I be sentenced to death by you? I am your uncle!"

"You still remember that you are my uncle, so you shouldn't be eager to abandon me when you hear that I might be defeated and captured, and think about establishing a new king! Have you ever had any sense of family affection? Princess Chun'an has passed away, so you just go down to be a companion!"

Zhu Houzhao waved her long sleeves and sighed: "No wonder the kings are all lonely and widowed. It's not unreasonable to think about it now!"

Cai Zhen didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao would execute him, and he suddenly shouted:

"Zhu Houzhao! Why are you so cruel? Do you know that your actions are incomplete and contrary to human ethics! It is precisely because of your excessive killing that you have no descendants! A tyrant like you, even if you kill all the people in the world! But your throne will end here! From the first year of Zhengde to the present, does the queen have a son, and does the imperial concubine have a son? It is not because you have caused the anger of heaven and people and were punished by God! Hahaha!"

Cai Zhen laughed and started laughing wildly.

...

And at this time.

An internal servant ran over hurriedly. Seeing this, Gu Dayong hurriedly left Zhu Houzhao and went to ask for it. Then he ran away with excitement:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! The Queen gave birth to a son!"

At this time, another civil servant ran hurriedly. Seeing this, Gu Dayong left Zhu Houzhao again, went to ask for a while, and then ran away with excitement:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Concubine Su gave birth to a son!"

Then, another Nei Guan ran hurriedly. Seeing this, Gu Dayong left Zhu Houzhao again, went to ask for a while, and then ran away with excitement:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! Concubine Liu gave birth to a son!"

Then, at this time, Liu Jin suddenly rushed into the hall in person:

"Congratulations to Your Majesty! The female official is happy for his wishes!"

Not long after leaving Beijing, Zhu Houzhao received a report about the pregnancy of the queen and the two noble concubines. However, in order not to be taken advantage of by villains, he ordered Xu Jin, Gu Dayong and others who stayed in Beijing to block the news and prevent too many people from knowing about the pregnancy of the queen and the two noble concubines too early.

It is precisely because of this that the prince-in-law Cai Zhen did not know that the empress and the two noble concubines were pregnant. Now he directly accused Zhu Houzhao of being cruel for his lack of children.

However, Zhu Houzhao did not expect that his queen and two concubines gave birth to a son at this time, but when the prince-in-law Cai Zhen said that there was no woman in his harem and there was no child, it might be because he was cruel and unruly.

Cai Zhen, the son-in-law of the prince-in-law, did not expect that when he just rebuked Zhu Houzhao for not forgiveing ​​him, he suddenly heard that the emperor had children! And there were three children, maybe even four!

Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but laugh and pointed at the prince-in-law Cai Zhen: "Didn't you say that I have a good relationship with Tianhe, which makes people angry and resentful, so I have no children? Listen! Listen!"

As he said that, Zhu Houzhao kicked the prince-in-law Cai Zhen with his feet and asked loudly.

Zhu Houzhao knew that people value destiny in this era, so he continued to scold the prince-in-law Cai Zhen and Liang Chu, and also asked other officials to listen to it: "I am the emperor! I am the emperor who destiny is the one who destiny is! Everything I do is right! It is correct! It is in line with the laws of nature! But you, you are all selfish treacherous ministers! You are traitors! That is why I have been favored by God! Didn't lose to the little prince! Didn't lose to you! I have children! And you treacherous ministers were defeated because of betrayal of me, and they were defeated in a terrible way!"

The prince-in-law Cai Zhen couldn't help crying at this time: "Oh my god! Why are you like this! Why are you like this!"

Zhu Houzhao asked someone to drag down the prince-in-law Cai Zhen and Liang Chu and other civil officials.

The civil servants present did not dare to speak anymore, and they had to start thinking, thinking, is there really a so-called destiny? Although these civil officials often use this to fool the people and the emperor, they never thought that the emperor would really be destiny.

But at least these civil servants now have some godly awe of Zhu Houzhao.

These officials began to understand that the emperor in front of him should not be easily provoked.

Zhu Houzhao announced the severance of the court, but did not leave Xu Jin to continue discussing matters. He only asked Xu Jin to go back to rest, while he was about to go and see the queen and the two noble concubines.

At the same time, Liu Jin came to report Ruyi's pregnancy, which naturally also means that Ruyi and the cabinet chief Jiao Fang and others have also entered Beijing. As for Ruyi's pregnancy, of course, it was also caused by his hard work along the way.

Zhu Houzhao also issued an order to give the chariot to Ruyi, and asked someone to lift him back to the palace.

Zhu Houzhao was still a little surprised at the sudden death of having three children, although he had already prepared mentally.

Especially when he looked at the three babies lying beside their mothers crying, he never thought that he would have his own blood in the Ming Dynasty.

And because of his possession, Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty actually had descendants in this era!

Zhu Houzhao knew that this not only meant that history might undergo tremendous changes, such as the historical emperors such as Jiajing, Longqing and Wanli might not appear again.

It also means that you will not be able to control the situation based on your understanding of the history of the Ming Dynasty, because the trajectory of history has changed greatly due to your own appearance.

Next, Zhu Houzhao didn't know how to deal with the gentry group that was still secretly resisting his reform of the Ming Dynasty, and could not even predict that they would use the means.

This is not like before. He could know in advance that Yang Tinghe was a loyal and treacherous person, so he could arrange his eyeliner in advance to deal with it.

However, Zhu Houzhao had to admit that after having children, he could enhance the confidence of the reformists. The emperor's queen showed that God would still favor the emperor, which meant that the country could continue.

For civil officials who are deeply influenced by Confucianism, this is a symbol of prosperity.

Therefore, Xu Jin smiled all the way after returning to the cabinet, which was happier than when he heard that the Ming Dynasty defeated the little prince or even captured the little prince alive.

The emperor had children and created extraordinary martial arts, which meant that the emperor's majesty was once again consolidated, and the hearts of the people of the world became more stable, and the behavior of Cai Zhen and Liang Chu became even more ridiculous.

Therefore, no one dared to sympathize with Cai Zhen, Liang Chu and others at this time.

Cai Zhen, Liang Chu and others were also successfully punished by the Ming Zhengdian, and all the officials applauded this and sought Zhu Houzhao's understanding and forgiveness.

Zhu Houzhao now knows the hypocrisy of these people, and is not easily confused by these people. He knows that as long as he has the opportunity, these gentry who do not want their interests to be deprived will still spare no effort to oppose him and prevent him from reforming the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, he is not careless because of the flattery of these officials.

However, after Zhu Houzhao returned to Beijing and killed a group of more jumpy civil officials, they were indeed much more honest. No one dared to stand up and accuse Xu Jin of what was wrong, let alone criticize Zhu Houzhao for his crimes.
