Sun Jinding, a bachelor of Jianji Palace, and Zheng Feng, a bachelor of Wenhua Palace, came to the capital with the imperial edict. Lin Jiading, the commander-in-chief of Xiaoqi Town who was originally loyal to the prince, and Hou Mabao of Pucheng, the commander-in-chief of Huben Town who was loyal to the prince, were at the Zhengyang Gate of the capital.

There was a fierce fighting nearby. Fan Youxian, the Duke of Shu, and the Duke of E strictly obeyed their orders and refused to listen. Later, they learned that the emperor's illness was cured, and the two towns just stopped fighting, but they refused to abandon their weapons and return to camp.

"Pucheng Hou, the Holy One has decreed that Hu Ben and Xiaoqi Town should immediately abandon their weapons and return to camp. Anyone who resists the decree will be punished as treason. What are you waiting for?" Sun Jinding shouted at Ma Bao. He was Conglong Laochen, the emperor.

The most popular person around me has always had prestige.

"Mr. Sun, has your Majesty said what to do with us?" Ma Bao scratched his head. He was gifted with a very big head, and he liked to scratch his head whenever he was in trouble.

"The Holy One has never told you to abandon your weapons and return to the camp, so why don't you still dare to resist the order?" Sun Jinding said angrily.

Ma Bao remained silent, staring at his toes, looking lost.

Zheng Feng sneered, "How come the Marquis of Pucheng hasn't understood the Holy Will? The Holy One said that those who resist the edict will be punished as treason. If you obey the edict, it will naturally not be treason."

"Oh, thank you Mr. Zheng for reminding me." Ma Bao felt relieved after hearing this.

"If you follow the order and abandon your weapons and return to camp, I and Mr. Zheng Ge will intercede for you in front of the Holy One," Sun Jinding said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Ma Bao felt relieved, thanked him profusely, and led his army to abandon their weapons and return to the camp.

Hearing that Huben Town abandoned their weapons and returned to the camp, Lin Jiading did not dare to resist the order, but obediently led Xiaoqi Town to abandon their weapons and return to the camp.

Wu Chuanhou Bai Wenxuan, the capital garrison governor appointed by the crown prince, and deputy governor Zhao Yinxuan knew that the situation was over, so they returned the seals to Fan Youxian, Duke of Shu, and Yan Zungao, Duke of E, and submitted a form of apology to await processing.

The affairs in the outer country are more troublesome. The King of Ji's confidants Xingye Hou Yang Fuchen, Yuan'an Bo Chen Youlong, and the prince's subordinates Guangchang Bo Li Yuanyin, Xuanping Bo Dong Fangce, and the general Zhao Desheng are not willing to abandon their weapons first, and there is a stalemate.<

/p>

Su Guansheng became anxious and said to Yang Fuchen: "Your father did not dare to disobey the holy will when he was alive, let alone your son?"

After all, he was an old emperor for many years, and he still had dragon power. Thinking of the old emperor's ruthlessness, Yang Fuchen shuddered, and together with Chen Youlong, he took the discarded weapons from Longhu Town back to the camp; as soon as Longhu Town withdrew, the government army

The town had no choice but to abandon its weapons and return to camp.

On the surface, Nanjing, the imperial capital, has returned to peace, but it is devastated. Tens of thousands of people died in vain, and more than 100,000 people had their houses damaged and became homeless.

In order to stabilize the people's hearts in the capital, the old emperor ordered the five-city army to patrol the streets to hunt down thieves; the imperial army patrolled the streets to maintain order and helped people repair their houses; Yingtianfu set up a porridge to provide porridge to the victims; the imperial hospital donated medicine to prevent epidemics; the Ming Dynasty Bank provided money to the people of the capital.

Distributed disaster relief loans; and with a stroke of a pen, the people of the capital were exempted from taxes, money and food for a year.

After a series of combination punches, the people of the imperial capital were finally stabilized.

The rest is to deal with the guilty persons in the incident of seizing the door.

The impact of this incident was so bad that even the emperor himself was placed under house arrest in the Qianqing Palace. Without severe punishment, the people will not be angry; without severe punishment, the chair under my butt will be unstable! But if it is really strict, the most responsible person is the prince. and King Ji, one imprisoned his father, the other killed the queen, and forced his brother to death, both of which are considered treason. But if they are convicted of treason, not only will the implications be too wide, but a lot of officials will be implicated. Even my four little grandchildren have become rebels and want to eliminate their clan status. No, absolutely not, the grandchildren have lost their father and must not be harmed again!

The old emperor hesitated and asked Zheng Feng about important matters, so he summoned his Zheng Zifang.

"Zheng Qing, what do you think should be done to deal with this matter? I want to deal with it strictly to revitalize the emperor; but I am afraid that several of the emperor's grandsons will be implicated. Furthermore, too many officials will be investigated, which may harm the country."

When Zheng Feng heard "I fear it will harm the country", he understood that the emperor said that he would deal with it strictly, but in fact he did not want to deal with it too harshly. The reason why he consulted with him was just to hope that he would agree to a lighter punishment. Think about it, this is also Inevitably, most of the people involved in this case are Conglong heroes, and the Holy One is not a direct descendant of Taizu. The reason why he can inherit the unification depends on the support of these Conglong heroes. If the punishment is too harsh, I am afraid it will chill the heroes. Their hearts were shaken and the foundation of Guangwu Dynasty's rule was shaken. This is the true meaning of the words "fear of harming the country's foundation".

"What your Majesty said is that when the foundation of a country is injured, it will inevitably shake the mountains. During the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Emperor Taizong, although he killed Jiancheng and Yuanji, did not kill all their subordinates. This is the reason why." ,Zheng Feng spoke.

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Zhu Hengjia Longyan was delighted and said to him with a smile: "Zheng Qing, I want you and Yu Chao to lead the three law divisions to review the case. I can rest assured that you will handle the matter."

Nowadays, in addition to Zheng Feng and Yu Chaoxiang, there are three remaining cabinet ministers. Gu Yi is involved in the case and is pending trial; Sun Jinding and Guan Shouzhen, Gu Yi has always had conflicts and is not big-minded. The old emperor is afraid that he will take the opportunity to retaliate; Su Guansheng is too upright, If he takes charge of this matter, I am afraid that most of the officials involved in the case will be in trouble. Zhu Hengjia sent Zheng Feng and Yu Chaoxiang to preside over the case, and they have really good intentions!

Zheng Feng and Yu Chaoxiang led the Minister of Punishment Guo Zhiqi, Zuodu Yushi Cai Yingchang, and Dali Temple Minister Zhang Tiaoding to try the officials involved in the incident. The trial court was set up in Dali Temple. Every day, people involved in the case were summoned for questioning and even arrested. , pretending to be serious and strict, vowing to give an explanation to the victims of the capital city.

Soon, Mrs. Yu and Han Ruyan, who had offended the emperor, and Chen Biao and Zhebu, who killed Queen Shi, were beheaded and exposed for seven days. All the adult men over the age of twelve in the family were beheaded, and the rest of the family members were exiled to the fields in Chengdu Prefecture, Sichuan. .Also captured nearly a hundred rebels who took advantage of the chaos to burn, kill, loot and rob people's property, and all of them showed their heads to the public.

Then, it was time to characterize the coup. Both the prince and King Ji were deceived and instigated by treacherous officials. One thought that his younger brother was going to attack the palace, and the other thought that his brother had put his father under house arrest. The misunderstanding triggered the coup, so

Neither of them are treasonous, they are also victims.

As for the treacherous ministers, those who deceived and instigated the prince were Guan Shouzhen, the chief assistant of the Grand Scholar of Jianji Palace, and Gu Yi, the Grand Scholar of Wuying Palace; those who deceived and instigated the Prince of Ji were Chen Bangyan, the Grand Scholar of Dongge Palace. Guan Shouzhen and Chen Bangyan were already dead.

After being deprived of all official titles, there will be no further prosecution; Gu Yi is still alive, and after being deprived of all official titles, he was exiled to New Beihai Province.

Other guilty persons who have died, such as Duke Yan Xiaoyong of Fujian, Bohe Jiuyi of Ninghai, Xiao Qi, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, Zhang Cheng, the left minister of the Ministry of Industry, and Zhang Hu, the commander-in-chief of the army, etc., will not be prosecuted after being dismissed from their titles; those who are still alive will not be prosecuted.

For example, Yang Fuchen, the Marquis of Xingye, Bai Wenxuan, the Marquis of Wuchuan, Ma Bao, the Marquis of Pucheng, Chen Youlong, the Yuan'an Bo, Li Yuanyin, the Guangchang Bo, Dong Fangce, the Xuanping Bo, Zhao Desheng, Zhao Yinxuan, Lin Jiading, Chen Shou, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and the Royal Army Academy Association

Yang Wei, a bachelor of management, and others were exiled to Fuzhou after being dismissed from their ranks.
