Chapter 99: Great Purge! Kill the civil servants one by one! Tianqi’s method, Zhang Gui’s ultimate move!

Tianqi understood Zhang Gui's words and knew that Yang Lian was doing this now because he did not become emperor according to his requirements.

In other words, Yang Lian is not loyal to himself, but is loyal to his own beliefs. Strictly speaking, he is not considered his own loyal minister, but only a loyal minister of Confucianism.

The annoyance in Tianqi's heart was swept away, and he nodded and looked at Zhang Gui and said: "That's right! You are all loyal to me. Even if you have a party, it is an imperial party! If you are loyal to me, you are not considered a traitor, and the imperial party is not

It’s not a traitor! Unless the world is not my world!”

When Tianqi said this last sentence, his tone was particularly cold and stern.

At this moment, Zhang Guize thought of how to deal with Yang Lian and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Immediately, Zhang Gui said again: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Mr. Yang whether he has a party and who are his party members?"

"Yang Lian, reply."

At this time, Tianqi gave instructions to Yang Lian.

Naturally, Yang Lian would not admit that he had a party and ruin his reputation, so he said without hesitation: "I have no party! I do all this for your majesty and for my Ming Dynasty!"

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Gui said at this time: "I believe that Mr. Yang has a party and has many comrades!"

"His accomplices are all over the world at all times and in modern times! Even in this court, there are many of his accomplices."

"Their party is the traitorous party that has been thinking about removing His Majesty's power and turning the Han world into theirs!"

After Zhang Gui made a pun, he cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty may not kill Yang Lian, but you must not destroy his party!"

Zhang Gui's meaning is very clear. Rather than letting Yang Lian die, it is better to suppress the class behind him.

It is equivalent to flipping the table. It is meaningless to only deal with Yang Lian. It is better to use Yang Lian to kill all those who oppose the New Deal.

Tianqi also immediately understood the sharpness in Zhang Gui's words, so he looked at Yang Lian and said with a pun: "Yang Lian, I ask you again, do you have any accomplices?"

"I don't! Even if Your Majesty asked Beizhen Fusi to torture you, I would still say this, I have no comrades!"

Yang Lian replied.

Tianqi smiled: "You said you have no wings, right?"

After saying that, Tianqi ordered: "Wei Zhongxian, go and get all the memorials that have been left unpublished during this period! We will be in this hall later, in front of the civil and military officials of the court, and the votes will be approved!"

"According to the order!"

Wei Zhongxian said and hurriedly retreated.

Shen Yongmao and others were immediately shocked.

They did not expect that His Majesty the Emperor would suddenly say that he would deal with all the memorials that had not yet been issued, and that he would approve the petition in front of hundreds of officials, following the most formal procedures.

What is the emperor doing? Public execution?

Huang Liji was even more regretful and said in his heart: "It's over! You underestimated our Majesty! He is not Song Shenzong! He was not intimidated by the mountains and seas of his memorials against the New Deal, and the reason why he stayed in the center was not

It was not because I wanted to observe the situation secretly, but because I asked you to stay in the urn and wait for those who opposed the New Deal to jump in and catch them all! I miscalculated! It would be better for me to wait until Yang Lian impeaches Wei Zhongxian before standing up! Alas!

, I am also too eager to prevent the New Deal from being implemented in the north one day, too eager to not want my family and land to be cleared away. I am so stupid!"

After thinking this, Huang Liji looked at Yang Lian.

At this time, Wei Zhongxian and other eunuchs had already walked in quickly, carrying a large number of memorials.

Wei Zhongxian took the lead, kneeling like Chen Hong, and quickly slid in front of Tianqi. He held up a stack of the most important memorials that had been sorted out and said in front of Tianqi: "Your Majesty! I have brought them all."

Tianqi glanced at Wei Zhongxian approvingly, and then ordered: "Go and get the memorial in Shen Yongmao's hand first."

"yes!"

Wei Zhongxian stood up in a hurry, and then quickly snatched the memorial from Shen Yongmao's hand with a cleft hand. Then he turned around and appeared in front of Tianqi: "Your Majesty, the memorial."

Tianqi took the memorial, looked at Yang Lian, and said: "Yang Lian, as long as you admit that you have comrades and admit that you are criticizing Uncle Guo and Yuan Qing's family now because you are dissatisfied with the New Deal and want to slander the New Deal, is that right?

If you don’t want to make the Ming Dynasty rich and prosperous, as long as you admit it, I won’t kill you or them!”

"Your Majesty! I was indeed ordered by Yang Lian! I am indeed Yang Lian's accomplice. What I did today was all based on Yang Lian's instigation. He asked me to oppose the New Deal. Your Majesty clearly understands this!"

Shen Yongmao was afraid of death, so he took the initiative to admit it.

At this time, Yang Lian resolutely said: "Your Majesty! I have never formed a party, I have no partisans, and I will not instruct anyone. I do all this by myself! I am only for Your Majesty!"

"good!"

Tianqi responded, and then threw Shen Yongmao's memorial in front of Wei Zhongxian: "Immediately vote for approval, drag Shen Yongmao out and behead him! Let the cabinet ministers write down the crime."

"clear!"

Wei Zhongxian agreed, immediately picked up the memorial, came to Han Xu, and handed over the pen and paper used for voting.

"His Majesty!"

Yang Lian shouted again.

Naturally, he didn't want to see Shen Yongmao and others killed because of him.

In this case, his death will be meaningless! And no one will complain about his death!

Those who oppose the New Deal will only hate him for being pedantic and irresponsible, because no one will like the existence of a person who is unwilling to sacrifice for his own group.

Therefore, Yang Lian had to admit that his uncle Zhang Gui was so vicious that he actually encouraged the emperor not to kill him but to kill Shen Yongmao and others in the name of his comrades.

The pattern was completely unexpected!

He had to admit that Zhang Guojiu no longer paid attention to Yang Lian himself, but kept staring at the entire scholar-bureaucrat behind him!

But Yang Lian would rather die than admit that he was a party member and was not loyal to the emperor, so he just begged: "Please show your kindness and implement benevolent government!"

"I still say what I said. I want you to show mercy and forgive them. You, Yang Aiqing, the minister who was left by the late emperor to take care of your life, must dare to admit that you have accomplices and that you are their chief envoy!"

Tianqi said.

"I really have no allies!"

Han Xu was an obedient chief minister, so he quickly completed the draft and handed it over to Wei Zhongxian.

Wei Zhongxian immediately gave Bingbi Liu Ruoyu, the Superintendent of Ceremonies.

Liu Ruoyu also approved it.

Immediately, Wei Zhongxian ordered: "Drag Shen Yongmao out and chop him down immediately!"

"yes!"

Two royal guards came in and dragged Shen Yongmao away.

Shen Yongmao was so anxious that he shouted: "Your Majesty! I am really an accomplice of Yang Lian. He is really the mastermind behind the scenes, Your Majesty!"

Then, Shen Yongmao shouted to Yang Lian again: "Yang Lian! You are just asking for fame, why don't you admit it? Are you trying to kill us?! What good will this do to you?

"

Not long after, Shen Yongmao was dragged out and put under the guillotine.

There was a click.

A human head fell to the ground.

Shen Yong sprayed blood on the spot.

"Your Majesty, Shen Yongmao has been executed!"

A guard in brocade clothes came in and started playing.

Tianqi nodded, then picked up another memorial, and then looked at Yang Lian: "Yang Lian, do you admit that you have accomplices?"

Yang Lian shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty's impeachment of treacherous relatives and traitors is all for the purpose of rectifying His Majesty's gains and losses. No party members are involved. I never form a party, and I never instigate anyone! Your Majesty wants to kill or cut into pieces.

This is all due to the kindness of the king, why should they be called unkind because their ministers are angry with them?"

Tianqi didn't say anything, he only glanced at the memorial and said: "Drag Gao Panlong out and chop him down too!"

"His Majesty!"

Gao Panlong was shocked, shouted hurriedly, and said: "I and Yang Lian are the same party, they are the same party! Your Majesty, Your Majesty does not need to ask him Yang Lian anymore, I am willing to confess everything!"

Tianqi ignored Gao Panlong.

Gao Panlong immediately shouted to Yang Lian: "Mr. Yang, why don't you admit that your intention to impeach Yuan Keli was decided by us in secret, and it was the memorial written by Miao Changqi for you! We are all your accomplices, why should you bully me?

Jun!"

Yang Lian was still unwilling to admit that he was affiliated with the Party. He did not want the history books to record in the future that he admitted that he was a crooked minister involved in the factional struggle, rather than a truly loyal and upright minister like Hai Rui.

Therefore, Yang Lian just cried and said: "Your Majesty, please kill the ministers! Show mercy to them!"

Tianqi only told Wei Zhongxian here: "Take out Miao Changqi's memorial first."

At the same time, Gao Panlong was also dragged down.

There was a click.

Soon, Gao Panlong also lost his head.
