246. Execution

After the twelfth month of the 34th year of Qinglong Di, the next year is spring, and it is already ten thousand years.

Emperor Qinglong left in a hurry, and Zhu Yanjun, the Emperor Liwan, who was only twelve years old, forced himself to ascend the throne early before he was young, and the crown prince ascended the high ground to become the emperor.

Although Emperor Li Wan was far more intelligent than ordinary people, he was still young and had no time to worry about it. He said that he immediately took power and followed the government. As well as Emperor Qinglong's will, Empress Dowager Xiaoci and the cabinet chief Gao Gong, discussed it and took it down. What's wrong with this little emperor?

Empress Dowager Xiaoci believed in Buddhism and ate vegetarianism all day long, but she had no power and was gentle and kind, but she was like a Bodhisattva's heart. To put it bluntly, she was cowardly, weak, indecisive, and was not an idea-worthy person.

On the contrary, Gao Gong had a tough temper, took his own interests in everything, and was extremely decisive and arbitrary. He only said that Emperor Qinglong ascended the throne, and as the imperial teacher, he was respected by Emperor Qinglong, so he quickly settled into the position of chief minister of the cabinet, and was above ten thousand people, and was at the highest position. However, after he was later a lazy emperor, he trusted him very much, and all the matters of the court were handed over to him. His power was no different from that of the emperor, so he became known as the "Zheng Emperor".

One is weak and the other is strong, so the "Last Emperor's will" is said to be the decision of the two. In fact, the ten words mentioned in this will come from Gao Gong's mouth. You can imagine that the world of the Zhu family's great underworld dynasty has now made Gao Gong, a civil servant, reach its peak.

Especially after the current situation, after Emperor Qinglong died suddenly, Gao Gong was even more afraid. Through the words of this will, he wrote, "My emperor is still young and can only take power according to the ancestral teachings. However, the last emperor's will entrust his old ministers to the old ministers, and I should assist in the school and learn about the government affairs, and devote all my efforts to the death." The implication was that he wanted to control the government affairs and let the little emperor Zhu Yanjun be a signboard, so that he could control the country with a high sound.

Gao Gong brought out the "Last Emperor's will" and the Daming Ancestor's teachings to talk about it, and then blocked the lingering mouths in the court. Even though Zhu Yanjun was unwilling to do so, he could only grit his teeth and endure Gao Gong's anger as "evil servant bullying the master" and obediently became the young emperor who "rules the government" in the court.

To put it more beautifully, it is called "listening to politics" and is a good idea. It is said that he is young and has no ability to handle the government. Therefore, in the past four years before the 16th century, Zhu Yanjun could only be a student in the court and learn the ability of political theory in the court.

In fact, this completely stripped away his power as an emperor, and he could only listen to the learning without any inquiries and seized the power. Gao Gong, the minister who was the assistant to the country who "the late emperor entrusts his orphans", was really a famous minister and a true king. Although he was a minister, he took the emperor's power into his hands.

If it weren't for the fear of leaving a bad reputation in history, Gao Gong, who is still today, would have been unable to resist the temptation, and even the title of the emperor had been changed to his own family.

Looking at the historical books of the Daming Dynasty, the civil officials are so powerful that they are unprecedented.

With this great opportunity, Gao Gong, who was a little restrained when Emperor Qinglong was still in power, finally let go of his hands and feet. He was able to display his ambitions in his heart. He really ignored Zhu Yanjun and tidied up the general, clamped his political power into his own hands, and then he made drastic moves to promulgate the "New Policy of Li Wan".

It is said that Gao Gong has a great economic and technological force for governing the country. This new policy is the right medicine. Most of the reforms to the many disadvantages and hidden dangers of the Daming Dynasty are truly insightful. If he really follows his plan and can fully implement it, the declining Daming Dynasty may also be completely renewed.

However, the Daming Dynasty has been suffering for a long time, and it can be said that it is a serious illness. According to the medical principles, serious illness still needs to be cured and it is cured slowly before it can be cured. Unfortunately, Gao Gong realized that he had not had much time and was in a hurry to act. This move to promulgate the new policy seemed impatient, as if he was seriously ill but he applied harsh medicine, and he was doing bad things with kindness.

When his new policy was to reform the tax system, he originally collected the local taxes and now all the taxes were returned to the national treasury. He started from the overall situation and unified allocation was the way to enrich the country and strengthen the people. However, local tax collection had already become a prerequisite, and today the officials were already greedy. He took off the fat meat at the beginning, and naturally offended officials all over the world in one fell swoop.

Second, I explained the land of the vassals, and secretly wanted to weaken the vassal kings and save money. The original intention was to serve the country and the people, but I offended all the royal relatives and families of the world in one fell swoop.

The other new policies are roughly the same. Even though Gao Gong is now in power, facing the royal family's opposing conflicts, they feel anxious and weak in their clones.

But Gao Gong has a tough temper and decided to meet this great opportunity that is rare in the ages. He even realized that this was a great responsibility given to him, and he would not compromise. He still fought with the officials and royal families in the world.

But it should be that the Great Ming Dynasty had many disasters and difficulties. Hu Yan, the surrendered gangster who was sitting on the twelve cities, was ready to go. At this great opportunity for the young emperor to take office, Gao Gong was like this and "treat against the enemy". If he gave him a great reason, he would raise the banner of "clearing the king's side" and lead 100,000 troops to rush to the army, and openly launch a rebellion.

When a hundred thousand troops entered the pass, they were like evil wolves and tigers attacking. They had conquered the three provinces in one month, and the momentum was even more huge, with the spear aiming directly at the capital!

For a moment, the Daming Dynasty was worried about internal and external troubles, and suddenly showed the appearance of a national destruction. Gao Gong was still strong. While using the national crisis to issue an edict to intimidate officials and royal families, he was engaged in military power and sent troops to gather 200,000 troops to go to the front line to fight against the rebels.

However, the Great Ming Dynasty has been in peace for a long time, and the army is inevitably decayed. Most of the generals have military positions, but they have never fought or seen blood. They are actually a group of wine bags. These generals are brave at the banquet, and they always drink and have fun. They are also very capable of boasting and praising themselves. Now they are really sent to the battlefield. They say that they are wearing armor and are difficult to fight, and even on the back of the horse are two wars. They are trembling and frightened.

Even if the generals are like this, the soldiers under his command can be imagined. Those who heard that they were either sick and avoided the battle, or had to roll up the bed and escape overnight. When they were about to go to the battlefield, less than 100,000 people came to the battlefield, and the elderly, weak and disabled, and thin as firewood were the ones. When they saw this scene, Gao Gong could only sigh that he was not lucky.

There is nothing to do, the rebels will always fight, and these declining soldiers and timid generals will eventually go to the front line.

Gao Gong didn't ask them to defeat the enemy, but just waited for them to delay and asked God to worship Buddha. He just had to delay him for a while and sort out the internal troubles, and then he could pull out his hands and dispatch elite soldiers and generals to destroy the traitor army.

All of this was seen by Emperor Li Wan, who ascended the throne at a young age but was unable to manage the government. He was indignant in the court, but he was dealt with by Gao Gong's cold and perfunctory response. He never took it seriously. The contempt between his eyebrows and eyes was undoubtedly revealed.

So Zhu Yanjun, the Emperor Li Wan who had been in court, still felt angry and had a great evil fire in his bedroom. Suddenly, he remembered the eunuch Hu Yan, who had been remanded in prison and had not dealt with it. Finally, he found a place to vent for the fire relief.

"Come here! Follow my order and take the ruthless traitor, Huyan, out of prison, and be punished with lingchi at noon in front of the Wumen Gate!"

In the outer court, Gao Gong had the powerful chief minister, but in the inner court, no one had the right to seize the authority of Emperor Li Wan. The young Emperor Li Wan had the same kindness and power as he had given the priest of the emperor in less than half a month. Therefore, the eunuch who accompanied him to study was sent respectfully and hurriedly issued an imperial edict.

"Slowly! Prepare a sedan chair for me and go to the Meridian Gate. I want to see this traitor who killed his father and was punished!"

It was noon, and Hu Yan, who had been imprisoned for more than half a month but had not seen the sun, was dragging heavy chains and leaning against the shackles. His face was withered and dark, and his body was emitting a foul smell. He appeared in front of the Meridian Gate.

Seeing this scene, Emperor Li Wan Zhu Yanjun felt very happy. He didn't care about the stinky smell. He suddenly jumped off the golden throne, jumped to Hu Yan with the corner of his dragon robe, and kicked Hu Yan near the back. However, Hu Yan was successful in martial arts and was extremely powerful in flesh and blood. This young Zhu Yanjun was young and had a little strength. After kicking him hard, Hu Yan remained motionless. However, Zhu Yanjun sprained his toes by the recoil force, and immediately hugged his toes tightly and jumped and screamed.

This scene is extremely funny. Whether it is the eunuchs, palace maids or even imperial guards, they can't help but turn their heads and laugh.

When Zhu Yanjun looked up and saw Hu Yan's cold and sarcastic expression, he felt that his face was lost. He was so angry that he shouted: "Come here! Beat me! Beat me hard! Get rid of this dog slave who is indifferent to the emperor!"

The entourage of the Imperial Guard shouted, and a gust of wind surrounded more than ten people and punched and kicked Hu Yan. However, Hu Yan's body had already been refined and had a full vein. It was only one step before the qi was growing into a rainbow and ascended in the sun. Such an amazing cultivation level was so hard. With these more than ten Imperial Guards, they could smash it hard for three days and three nights, and they were afraid that they would have itched with Hu Yan.

The imperial guards in the Central Plains did not dare to speak out, so they pretended to do their best to deal with the matter. However, Zhu Yanjun was so happy that he could see it and let the imperial doctor treat the sprained to him, and he still clapped his hands and applauded.

"Dog slave! Have you pleaded guilty?"

Hu Yan did not move or shake like a wooden stake, allowing the surrounding imperial guards to smash and beat him hard without saying a word. When he heard the little emperor ask, he was silent for a moment before sighing: "Hu Yan avenged the late emperor, but he was framed and slandered. I really don't know what the crime is?"

The eunuch holding the seal and the eunuch wearing the pen had already instructed him in prison. He knew that he had not been exposed, so he had a desire to live a life of greed, and wanted to completely push it.

"Ha! I am the king of a country and the supreme emperor of the world. I say you are guilty, how can you be innocent?"

If it is to be honest, if there are two eunuchs who have to investigate the case, Zhu Yanjun has no evidence of Hu Yan killing the monarch. However, when he was five years old, the scene where Hu Yan was a bad thing still fresh in memory. Every time he thought about it, Zhu Yanjun became more disgusted with Hu Yan, and now he can ascend the throne and become emperor. Hu Yanjun is suspicious, and Zhu Yanjun is naturally happy to take revenge.

Only in this inner court, Zhu Yanjun, who was deprived of the power of the monarchy, could enjoy the joy brought by his supreme emperor's authority through this power to determine life and death.

"Is it time to noon? I will execute the execution quickly! I want to see this dog slave who is better than death by slashing his sword. He screams for three days and three nights. Let's see when he can be stubborn?"
