Ming Dynasty: Regrets about the Jingnan Rebellion? I changed it in a dream!

Chapter 70: Ascends the throne! Burns the harem, officials fight with weapons
Zhu Gaoxu stood upright at the door with a slightly hunched figure.

His face is full of wrinkles, but they cannot hide his tiger-like temperament.

He walked in the Golden Palace with Prince of Zhao Zhu Gaosui.

His steps were steady and he didn't look like a man in his sixties at all.

When you see someone coming.

Sun Ruowei stood up suddenly. How could it be possible? Why was Zhu Gaoxu here?
The ministers were suddenly confused.

The thought in most officials’ minds was…Who is this person?
Among them, a small number of officials from the Yongle Dynasty recognized who this man was at a glance.

Yu Qian looked even more solemn.

"Prince Han, what do you mean by this? Leading troops into the Golden Palace!"

"Do you want to rebel?!"

Upon hearing this, the ministers discussed it.

"It's actually the King of Han?"

The prince led his troops into the palace, and they all knew very well what he wanted to do.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at these unfamiliar faces and felt indifferent.

Xia Yuanji, Jian Yi, Yang Shiqi, Yang Rong and others seem to be dead.

The only person he knew was the Empress Dowager Sun Ruowei.

Of course, on the way here, he got to know the current main officials of the court.

Zhu Gaoxu laughed out loud and said, "Rebellion? How can you say it in such a harsh way?"

"Today, the Tumu Incident occurred in the imperial court, which put the survival of the country in a critical moment."

"I, Zhu Gaoxu, the Prince of Han, follow the will of Emperor Taizu and Emperor Taizong and come here to clear the court and quell the national crisis."

As he spoke, Zhu Gaoxu came in front of Zhu Qiyu.

Under his powerful aura, Zhu Qiyu was somewhat afraid to look directly at Zhu Gaoxu in front of him.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu stared at Zhu Qiyu and said with a smile: "Boy, why don't you give up your seat to your uncle?"

Zhu Qiyu immediately stood up and gave up the throne.

It's interesting.

Zhu Gaoxu sat down on the dragon throne.

The throne is finally in hand!!!
He had been waiting for this day for sixteen years. According to the dream world, it should have been more than fifty years.

At this moment, he felt extremely satisfied.

The Dragon Throne is hot and fascinating.

At this time, when the ministers saw Zhu Gaoxu sitting on the dragon throne, some of them could no longer sit still.

"How dare you! You, a vassal king, dare to lay your hands on the throne!"

Following the direction of the voice, I saw that the person speaking was a bachelor from the Hanlin Academy.

Zhu Gaoxu looked at the man in front of him calmly.

Then, one of his personal guards stepped forward and killed the man with one sword.

Blood splattered on the spot.

The entire hall was in complete silence.

Zhu Gaoxu smiled with satisfaction and said, "Zhu Qiyu is temporarily in charge of state affairs, and he can sit on the throne, so why can't I?"

"Don't you think so, my dear niece."

Zhu Gaoxu looked at Sun Ruowei, who was ruling the country behind the scenes, with a murderous look in his eyes.

Faced with Zhu Gaoxu's pressure, Sun Ruowei wanted to say no, but was frightened by the scene just now.

She knew clearly that if she disobeyed Zhu Gaoxu in the slightest, she would be killed on the spot.

Zhu Gaosui said impatiently: "Brother, why are you talking so much nonsense with them?"

"One word."

"Those who are willing to surrender will not be killed."

"Those who refuse to surrender will be exterminated."

Zhu Gaosui's eyes flashed with coldness as he glanced at the ministers and officials present.

Suddenly, except for Yu Qian and Wang Zhi, the other officials all lowered their heads and dared not look directly.

The effect of killing the chicken just now has been achieved.

No one dared to disobey Zhu Gaoxu's wishes anymore.

Seeing this, Zhu Gaosui shouted loudly: "Since everyone has no objection, from now on, my second brother is the emperor!"

"Who is Xu Youzhen?" Hearing this, Xu Youzhen hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I am Xu Youzhen."

"Well, I remember you are from the Hanlin Academy, right?"

"Drafting the edict of accession to the throne, can you do this kind of thing?"

Xu Youzhen hurried forward and shouted loudly, "Welcome the new emperor to the throne! I will write the edict of enthronement now."

Looking at this group of sensible officials, Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui couldn't help but smile.

Then, Zhu Gaoxu said to Sun Ruowei indifferently.

"Empress Dowager Sun, I am in charge of the government, so I won't bother you to come behind the scenes to rule the country."

"Someone, send Queen Mother Sun back to the palace to have a good rest."

"It's dry, be careful with candles."

Zhu Gaosui instantly understood what Zhu Gaoxu meant.

His eyes turned towards Di Ping.

Having experienced previous experience, they are able to handle this kind of thing with ease.

The previous empress dowager was buried in a sea of fire.

It’s a good thing that this empress dowager follows the path of her “predecessors”.

After taking control of the government, he naturally began to eliminate the rebels and consolidate the morale of the ministers.

In fact, the ministers were not very opposed to Zhu Gaoxu's ascension to the throne.

Even some joy.

This is naturally due to Wang Zhen and his cronies, who have been oppressing officials for a long time, as well as the Jinyiwei.

Soon, someone stood up and shouted loudly.

"I, the humble servant of the Ministry of Revenue, Wang Hong, implore His Majesty the Prince of Han to issue an edict immediately to execute Wang Zhen and his followers."

"An explanation for the soldiers who died in Tumubao!"

As soon as Wang Hong said this.

All the ministers were immediately enraged and stood up one after another: "We, the ministers, beg the Prince of Han to issue an edict immediately to execute Wang Zhen and his followers, and give an explanation for the soldiers who died in Tumu Fort!"

The Minister of Personnel Wang Zhi and Yu Qian also stood up.

Immediately, Wang Zhen's followers, especially Ma Shun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, stood up and rebuked him.

"New Emperor! I am innocent!"

"They are the treacherous ministers. The Tumu Fort incident has nothing to do with us."

When listening to Ma Shun and others telling lies with open eyes, Wang Zhi, Wang Hong and other ministers were about to bite their teeth to pieces.

Since the death of Empress Dowager Zhang, Wang Zhen and his followers, together with the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, have made things difficult for them in every way.

If you don’t give money to meet the emperor, you won’t be allowed to see him.

Their salaries were not much to begin with, yet they still had to pay tribute to the eunuchs every day. Ma Shun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, also did everything to please Wang Zhen in order to please him.

However, Zhu Qizhen favored Wang Zhen, and their repeated admonitions were futile.

Even nearly got killed.

They could only endure it in silence.

Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui naturally knew all this. They had originally planned to kill Wang Zhen's followers and Ma Shun to stabilize the morale of the ministers and the army.

Basically, by killing these people, most of the officials in the court can sincerely submit to us.

After all, Ma Shun and Wang Zhen bullied these officials too harshly.

As a result, Zhu Gaoxu didn't even have time to speak.

Wang Hong stood up suddenly, sprinted a hundred steps, and kicked Ma Shun, who was kneeling on the ground, to the ground.

Then, the fist as big as a sandbag smashed directly towards Ma Shun.

"Damn it, I'll make you pay with your life even if it means everything!!!"

All of a sudden, all the officials were enraged and they rushed forward to beat up Wang Zhen's followers and Ma Shun.

This scene made both Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui laugh.

These civil servants can actually fight.

The ministers punched, kicked, and even elbowed Ma Shun.

Just beat them to death and don't hold back at all.

Ma Shun, commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, was beaten to death in the Golden Palace by all the officials.
