Chapter 11 The three Yi tribes were executed by Ling Chi!
"What's going on? How did Mou Bin become the commander of the Jinyiwei?"
"The person the Jinyiwei arrested seems to be a member of the Zhou family. The one who was detained at the front Two, they seem to be Qingyun Bohe Uncle Chang Ning..."
"Ah? That's your Majesty's uncle. Is this your Majesty's will?"
"How dare you do this?"
"Those two are the biological brothers of Empress Dowager Zhou. If Your Majesty dares to attack the Zhou family, aren't you afraid of being held accountable by Empress Dowager Zhou?"
"..."
Mo Bin Long Xing With tiger steps, he passed through the civil and military officials on both sides and came to Zhu Youtang. He raised something above his head and knelt down to salute.
“Your Majesty, I have honored my mission, and the seventy-six members of the Zhou family are all here!”
“This is the genealogy of the Zhou family, your Majesty, please take a look!”
Wow!
The entire civil and military dynasty was in an uproar!
Seventy-six members of the Zhou family...
Your Majesty is going to confiscate the family and exterminate the clan!
Zhang Yuan's eyes widened in horror, unable to believe what he was seeing.
"Your Majesty! Everyone in the Zhou family has worked hard for the Ming Dynasty. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. Even if there is any fault, it is not the crime!"
Some self-righteous officials came forward to intercede for the Zhou family.
"Your Majesty, is there any misunderstanding in this? As the emperor, your Majesty should know right from wrong and never listen to slander!"
"Your Majesty, please think twice and never act hastily!"< br>
A large number of officials in the court were sure that with the Empress Dowager Zhou around, the Zhou family would not fall.
So they all went to court to plead for the Zhou family, hoping to leave a good impression in front of brothers Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu.
Not only the civil and military officials in the court, but also the two Zhou brothers who have become prisoners, are calm and confident.
With their sister Zhou here, they concluded that Zhu Youtang did not dare to do anything to them.
Zhu Youtang ignored these people who interceded for the Zhou family. Instead, he took the Zhou family genealogy and read it with interest.
The old ministers at the front on the left looked at each other with hesitation.
Ye Qi, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, looked at Wan An, the first assistant: "Wan first assistant, this..."
Wan An had a calm face and did not express his position, as if an old monk had entered meditation.
Ye Qi looked at the other two ministers in the cabinet. Liu Jue and Liu Ji also looked at their noses and their hearts, looking like they were staying out of the matter.
Paper-paste Sange Lao is indeed called wrong!
After Ye Qi secretly cursed the three old foxes, he stood back again without taking a trip into the muddy water.
At this time, at the back of the civil service queue, two officials in their forties were whispering to each other.
Li Dongyang, who was a lecturer at the Hanlin Academy at the time, looked at his colleague Xie Qian, who was also a compiler at the Hanlin Academy.
"Brother Yu Qiao, what do you think about this matter?"
Xie Qian quietly raised his head and glanced at Zhu Youtang, then immediately lowered his head: "Brother Bin, I think this is Most of the time it will not end well."
"Oh? Why?" Li Dongyang raised his eyebrows.
Both of them were lecturers in the East Palace, and both had given lessons to Zhu Youtang, who was still the prince, and were very familiar with Zhu Youtang.
Xie Qian frowned and thought carefully: "Your Majesty is too quiet today, and he gives me the feeling that everything in the world is under control."
"This I have only experienced this feeling from Emperor Xianzong before.”
“Your Majesty, I’m afraid you won’t give up easily this time.”
Li Dongyang nodded: “I have this feeling too. Feeling.”
"I hope your Majesty will really be ruthless this time and will not allow the cabinet, harem and relatives to be so unscrupulous again."
"Be careful what you say!"
Before the two of them , Liu Jian, who was the right minister of the Ministry of Rites at that time, was even more brilliant. As the former Young Master of the Prince's Palace, Liu Jian was Zhu Youtang's official official since Zhu Youtang officially left the cabinet to study.
Liu Jian knew Zhu Youtang very well, he was kind and filial, but his character was very weak.
Such a person may be a good person, but he is definitely not a good emperor.
With his weak character and filial character, he had no right to speak in front of the powerful Empress Dowager Zhou.
The master's young mother is strong, this is a proper harem interference in politics, the development of the exclusive power of relatives.
The facts were just as Liu Jian expected, within a few months after the new emperor ascended the throne.
The Empress Dowager Zhou, together with the Cabinet Secretary and Supervisor of Ceremonies, sidelined Zhu Youtang.
Liu Jian originally had to wait at least a few more years before Zhu Youtang would take back the imperial power.
But I didn’t expect that today the Jin Yiwei would detain all the Zhou family, old and young, to the court meeting!
What does this mean?
Liu Jian’s heart was beating loudly.
A large group of people were kneeling at the foot of Zhu Youtang's steps, the number of whom would not be less than thirty.
Zhu Youtang sat high on the dragon chair, flipping through the genealogy in his hand and ignoring the ministers below him.
The people who were originally excited saw Zhu Youtang still looking calm and calm, but they themselves panicked first.
The voices pleading for Zhou's mercy became smaller and smaller, and finally the silence in front of Fengtian Gate could be heard again.
“Are you done?”
“Is there anyone else who can plead for Zhou, please come forward together.”
After waiting for a while and seeing no one interceding for the Zhou family, Zhu Youtang put down the family tree and looked at Mou Bin.
"Mo Bin, please tell my dear friends about the crimes of the Zhou family."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
This is when Mou Bin He turned around and faced the civil and military officials with a murderous tone in his words.
“The Empress Dowager and the Zhou family colluded with foreign and internal officials to arbitrarily place cronies into Jinyiwei, Dongchang, and the Fifth Army Governor’s Mansion in an attempt to steal the imperial power and commit treason!”
"Anyone who conspires to commit great treason, but who is complicit in the conspiracy, regardless of leader or subordinate, will be of the three tribes of barbarians, will be put to death in Lingchi!"
After Mou Bin finished speaking, all the civil and military officials fell silent.
Everyone's eyes widened and they couldn't believe everything they heard.
The Empress Dowager Zhou actually committed the crime of treason!
This... is a serious crime for the Yi tribe!
Among the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, the first to react were Uncle Qingyun and Uncle Changning who were being held at the foot of the stairs.
After Zhou Shou heard that his sister had been convicted, his whole body seemed to have been taken away, and he fell down softly.
Zhou Yu's face, originally full of pride, instantly turned pale, and his whole body began to tremble with fear.
"Your Majesty! This is definitely Mu Bin's slander! Our Zhou family is loyal to Your Majesty, how can we possibly rebel!"
"Your Majesty! I am your uncle. Your Majesty! We, the Zhou family, have absolutely no two intentions!”
"Your Majesty, this must be framed by someone. Please understand, Your Majesty! Please understand clearly!"
Zhou Shou and Zhou Yu finally felt fear at this time.
The conspiracy must not be confirmed, otherwise even if their sister Zhou is here, their heads will never be saved.
What's more, judging from what Mu Bin said just now, I am afraid that my sister Zhou herself cannot protect herself.
Such a big blow was unacceptable to them.
Why did the Zhou family fall? !
How could she fail? !
Without the protection of the Zhou family, His Majesty is really planning to kill them when he looks like this!
