Chapter 492: Sword aimed at the capital

(I sent the draft out in a daze last night. I saw the comments and found out that it had been uploaded again)

Juyong Pass has turned into ruins. Zhu Qizhen led a large army to march straight in, and the students of the Academy of Sciences led by Beilin came towards him.

"I welcome the emperor into the pass!"

Zhu Qizhen turned over and dismounted, looking at the scholars in front of him, Belin, Mei Chun, Tong Xuan, Xu Pu... they were all young talents from the Academy of Sciences. I really didn't expect that the indestructible Juyongguan could be conquered by just five hundred Jinyiwei and one hundred and fifty scholars.

"Please get up from your family!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Zhu Qizhen asked: "How did you get the news?"

Beilin leaned forward and lowered her voice, "Juesheng Guard received information and informed the Jinyi Guard that the assistant commander Wan Gui led the Han general to guard the palace gate, and Baihu Wantong and his ministers came to Juyongguan to welcome the sage!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded. Jueshengwei is the highest secret. He will never take the initiative to contact people other than him unless he has to.

These people have been hiding their names, spying on intelligence and making great achievements, but they cannot be publicized because their identities are the last amulet of the royal family, and they will continue to endure for a long time in the future.

Nowadays, only after returning to Beijing, can we vigorously respect his family and children and praise his merits.

However, these are all later stories. The most urgent task is to retake the capital and thoroughly clean up the court!

I don’t want to be happy about this group of dogs, right? Then don’t live!

At dawn, the battlefield was cleaned.

Li Zhen and Ha Ming came forward to report that more than 30,000 defenders in Juyongguan were killed yesterday and burned to death. More than 3,000 seriously injured. All the rest surrendered, and the right governor Yang Jun was captured.

Zhu Qizhen said: "All flag officials and above will be beheaded and displayed in public. If the others are released, there is only one person who will not be allowed to join the army for life!"

But Kuang Ye came forward and said, "The old minister dared to give advice. If he didn't ask, he would be a bit too harsh to behead all the banner officials and above?"

Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and asked, "What do you think is the right thing to do?"

Kuang Ye thought for a while and then said: "The grassroots officers and soldiers should be investigated immediately. If you find that you are deceived by your superiors, you should be exempted from your guilt."

Zhu Qizhen lowered his face and said, "I have no time to check if they were deceived. It is already a perfect end to kill them!"

Kuang Yen was still not selfish and said, "Since ancient times, the law has not blamed the public..."

"Is there a law in the Ming Dynasty that does not punish the masses?"

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him mercilessly and said sternly: "From now on, I don't want to hear the word "The law does not blame the public". One person breaks the law, and when one person is punished, tens of thousands of people breaks the law, tens of thousands of people will be punished!"

Kuang was choked back before he finished speaking. He wanted to continue fighting, but when he thought about what these people did, he would be the only one who committed his own sins. Today's affairs are purely for you to seek death, and I can't control it!

Besides, what the emperor said is fine.

During the Hongwu period, there was never a so-called law that did not blame the public.

For Emperor Taizu, as long as he commits a crime, no matter whether it is one or two, or one or eighty thousand, they will be treated equally. He will never be able to open his mind just because there are too many people.

Which of the four major cases in Hongwu that make people feel terrified is not implicated in tens of thousands of people!

After a burst of screams, dozens of officers of all sizes were executed on the spot.

As for the right governor Yang Jun, he was tied up and was personally interrogated by Yuan Bin.

Yuan Bin was too lazy to talk nonsense to him and said bluntly: "Say it, say what you know, I will make you go more happily!"

Yang Jun suddenly burst into laughter and said, "Do you think it's enough to break through Juyong Pass? Let me tell you, the emperor is already very good. If you know the truth, let me go as soon as possible. When the prince ascends the throne, my Yang family can continue to let you be the commander of the Jinyiwei!"

Yuan Bin chuckled and said, "The emperor is living well. As for whether I am a commander or not, it is not your Yang family's turn to worry about it!"

"The prince will ascend the throne soon. By then, it will be meaningless whether the emperor dies or lives. Don't you understand?"

Yuan Bin shook his head and said, "I don't understand, please make it clear!"

Yang Jun said: "The current emperor is cruel and unkind and competing with the people for profit has caused resentment from heaven and others. Why don't officials support an obedient emperor?"

Yuan Bin nodded and asked, "How do you know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will listen to you?"

"Commander Yuan, don't joke!"

Yang Jun shook his head and said, "Your Highness the Crown Prince is only nine years old. Can a nine-year-old child manage politics? Think about it again, when the emperor ascended the throne, he was less than eight years old. Who was the power at that time?"

Yuan Bin frowned and asked, "Is the death of the late emperor also related to you?"

Yang Jun shut up his mouth and kept sneering on his face.

Yuan Bin's face became extremely ugly and he said coldly: "I'll ask you again, will you say it?"

"Is Commander Yuan preparing to use torture?"

Yang Jun looked around and said, "Even if you want to use torture, at least you have to return to Zhaozhu, right?"

Seeing this, Yuan Bin knew that he didn't want to explain at all, so he stopped talking nonsense.

"Break his hands and feet!"

"yes!"

Two lieutenants walked up with sticks in hand.

Yang Jun was anxious and shouted: "Slow down, slow down, have you figured out, really want to be an enemy of my Yang family?"

Yuan Bin said impatiently: "Stop using sticks, go find a few stones and smash all his hands and feet!"

A lieutenant ran out and after a moment, he came back with a few broken wall bricks.

"Sir, can the bricks work?"

Yuan Bin looked at it and nodded, "Be careful when you start, don't kill someone!"

"yes!"

The two of them came to Yang Jun with bricks.

Fear appeared in Yang Jun's eyes and he hurriedly said, "You can't...ah!"

The severe pain made his whole face distorted.

A captain pressed his arm to the ground, and another man held the brick and reached out to smash it down, and another heart-wrenching scream.

The two of them slammed for half an hour. Yang Jun fainted in pain every time, and then woke up again, until his hands and feet were shattered and broken, and he was thrown in the corner of the room like a dead dog, moaning in a daze.

"I...I said..."

Soon, Yuan Bin came to Yang Jun again, saw his condition, and ordered people to dig half a bucket of well water, pouring them all on his head.

The well water was cold and Yang Jun woke up immediately.

Yuan Bin squatted down and said slowly: "Tell me!"

Yang Jun's face was filled with pain and said, "I don't know, it's not me, it's not me..."

"What did you say isn't you?"

"Last Emperor, Latest Emperor..."

"You mean that the death of the late emperor was murdered by someone. You are not the murderer. Is that what you mean?"

Yang Jun was in a daze and nodded hard.

Yuan Bin never dreamed that he could ask for unexpected gains!

"Not you, who is that?"

Yang Jun struggled and said, "Yang, Yang..."

"What Yang?"

"Yang Shiqi... the three Yangs in the cabinet led by Yang Shiqi, and... all civil and military officials..."

Yuan Bin looked shocked and acted very shocked.

Sanyang's cabinet has a very good reputation, how could it be that way?

Could it be that this guy is lying to himself?

But what benefits can he get by throwing the pot on Sanyang's head?

"You can explain it clearly, what's going on?"

Yang Jun said weakly: "I just know these things, they all sound like this, just these..."

After saying that, he fainted again.

Yuan Bin did not dare to hesitate and immediately reported the information to Zhu Qizhen.

Zhu Qizhen was also shocked and said to himself, was my cheap father murdered?

Thinking of myself again, I can indeed summarize a rule that ministers like young emperors who are not very useful in speaking.

If the emperor is already mature and full of wings, there will be no good results for the ministers.

For example, these new policies they have made are originally a strategy that benefits the country and the people, but these people firmly control the social labor and resources and just don’t let go.
