Ming: I am fake, walking on thin ice

Chapter 70: In front of Fengtian Gate, all officials were beaten with sticks!
Zhu Qiyu entered the hall and felt that the atmosphere was a bit strange. The way several people in the hall looked at him was like a brothel madam seeing a wealthy customer. It was so damn awkward.

The reason why he came was because Wu Xingdao asked him to come. Wu Dao said that at this time, we must stand firmly on the side of His Majesty and not let the Queen Mother's party win.

Otherwise, the Empress Dowager Sun would still have the final say in the Ming Dynasty. Empress Dowager Sun's brother, Marquis Huichang, was already in charge of the army. Was the Ming Dynasty going to repeat the mistakes of the Han Dynasty, when foreign relatives held absolute power?

According to Tung's estimation, the King of Qing will suffer some grievances this time, but he will gain the trust of His Majesty. The grievances are only temporary, and in the long run, the gains will be huge.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you." Zhu Qiyu bowed.

"Please stand up quickly." Zhu Qizhen raised his hand, "Second brother, why are you here? I am in trouble now."

"I am here to help you solve the problem." Zhu Qiyu said seriously, "I know very well what those ministers kneeling in front of Fengtian Gate want to do. If you can't do it, let me do it. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, I will risk everything."

Zhu Qizhen held his forehead and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Zhu Qiyu's eyes were blazing with fire: "I will personally lead the Jinyiwei to arrest those who should be arrested and expel those who should be expelled! All consequences will be borne by me."

Yang Guifang on the side was overjoyed.

The person of importance he wanted actually showed up on his own initiative. When King Qing took action, the officials did not dare to resist. The timid ones would naturally flee, and the stubborn ones would be captured.

When this storm is over, Your Majesty only needs to give King Qing a symbolic reprimand and punishment. After all, he is King Qing, what else do the ministers want?

"No!" Zhu Qizhen shook his head. "Second brother, don't be impulsive. This matter has nothing to do with you. How can I bear to drag you into this and make you unable to escape?"

"Brother Emperor, I am doing this for the Ming Dynasty." Zhu Qiyu shouted.

Xu Youzhen stepped forward at the right time and bowed to Zhu Qiyu: "It is a blessing for the Ming Dynasty to have a vassal king like the King of Qing. May God bless the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, the King of Qing's plan is feasible, but the King of Qing will suffer some grievances temporarily. When the storm is over, Your Majesty, you can reward the King of Qing."

Zhu Qizhen pretended to be very embarrassed. Zhu Qiyu knelt down and said, "Brother, I can't hesitate any longer."

"Okay!" Zhu Qizhen nodded, "Second brother, I won't say too much between brothers. I will remember it."

Zhu Qiyu bowed, turned around and strode away.

……

In front of Fengtian Gate.

Zhu Qiyu led hundreds of Jinyiwei and came aggressively. The officials who were kneeling and crying were very surprised to see him. Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Justice, who was in the lead, shouted: "Your Highness, Prince of Qing, what do you want to do?"

"Hit me!" Zhu Qiyu raised his arm and smashed down.

The hundreds of Jinyiwei behind him did not use swords, but rushed forward with sticks raised, beating the officials. When these civil officials saw that they were really going to be beaten, they immediately got confused.

Some people couldn't run fast enough and were hit by a stick, screaming miserably. The scene became even more chaotic, and most people ran away under the sticks. Yu Shiyue wanted to continue organizing, but with a slap, he was hit by a board and fainted.

King Qing captured a dozen of them, and the rest ran away after being beaten by him. The palace finally returned to peace, without the ugly cries of the men.

At this time, Kunning Palace.

The Queen Mother was still waiting for good news, preparing to make her own grand appearance, first scolding the Emperor and then dealing with the ministers, to establish her own prestige again. At this time, Shuangxi hurried in to report: "Queen Mother, all the officials in front of Fengtian Gate have dispersed."

"What?" The Queen Mother and Marquis Huichang were both shocked.

"His Royal Highness Prince Qing led the Embroidered Uniform Guards to beat all the officials with sticks. He also arrested more than a dozen of them and put them in prison." Shuangxi said.

The Queen Mother's eyes suddenly turned cold: "Prince of Qing? It turned out that he jumped out. How could it be him?" Huichang Hou gnashed his teeth in anger. He had carefully planned and it was flawless, but it was actually messed up by Prince of Qing. He was so angry that he jumped up and down: "Prince of Qing? I want to report him and make him pay the price."

……

The next day, morning.

After the court session, Yu Shiyue, the Minister of Justice with a swollen face, took the lead in impeaching Zhu Qiyu, the Prince of Qin. Wang Wen, the Minister of Personnel and others followed suit and criticized the Prince of Qin.

Zhu Qizhen's eyes were cold, and he asked coldly: "Prince Qing, so many ministers have accused you, don't you want to defend yourself?"

"That day, Yang Guifang cursed them in the Cao family's mourning hall, which is what I want to say." Prince Qing snorted coldly, "You all talk about righteousness and read the books of saints, but in fact, you are despicable and shameless for your own interests. The most hypocritical people in the world are none other than you civil officials."

With this swing of his pole, he killed a whole boat of people.

Zhu Qizhen was furious and shouted, "How dare you! You want to piss me off to death? You still don't repent, right? From today on, go to Fahai Temple and reflect on your mistakes, and copy ten volumes of scriptures every day."

"I obey your command." King Qing bowed.

"Your Majesty, are we just going to let this go?" Yu Shiyue asked.

Wang Wen, the Minister of Personnel, bowed behind the curtain and said, "Empress Dowager, this matter..."

Zhu Qizhen stood up suddenly, interrupted him, and said coldly: "What? Do you think I handled it unfairly? Did the Prince of Qing kill someone or set a fire? You want to force me to execute my brother immediately? If you insist on doing so, I'm afraid all the red robes in this court will die."

The emperor's power is like prison!

The whole hall seemed to be frozen in an instant, and the ministers were enveloped by an invisible pressure. Yu Qian stood up and bowed: "Queen Dowager, Your Majesty, I have a report to report that Deng Maoqi, the leader of the rebel army in Guangdong and Guangxi, has fled to eastern Fujian and joined forces with Luo Ruxian, the leader of the local rebel army, and has taken control of the eight provinces of Fujian."

All the ministers were horrified.

Some time ago, Ningyang Marquis Chen Mao had won many victories and defeated the rebels? Why did he mess up the situation in eastern Fujian? Was he going to cause chaos in the country?
"Everyone, I have only one thing to say. If you continue like this, the Central Plains will be in flames." Yu Qian said coldly, "By then, let alone the land, it's not certain whether you can still live. The military report says that the rebels will kill officials first wherever they pass!"

The ministers took a deep breath and fell silent.

After a while, the Queen Mother's cold voice came: "I support Your Majesty to continue the land annexation case. Yu Qian, you must pay attention to the suppression of the rebellion."

"I obey your order!" Yu Qian bowed.

Zhu Qizhen sneered, "What are you waiting for? Let's get out of court and get to work!"

He stood up and walked down from the right side without bowing to the Queen Mother. During this period, he did not ask the Queen Mother for any decision he made in the court.

When he returned to the Qianqing Palace, he summoned Zhu Qiyu, who greeted him warmly: "Second brother, I'm sorry to ask you to stay at Fahai Temple for a while. When the storm is over, I will call you back. The court situation is complicated, and I need you as my brother."

"I obey your order." Zhu Qiyu smiled, "I have nothing to complain about. I just want to take some time off. By the way, I will bring a teacher with me so that I can learn more during my free time."

"Sir?" Zhu Qizhen was curious.

"Oh, he's a teacher in my brother's house. I usually ask him to tell me about history and other things." Zhu Qiyu smiled.

It's the end of the month, and I still have extra monthly tickets. Give them to me.
