"Haha, okay, you take these books back and take a good look at them yourself. I will give you a month to read these books and then tell me your answer.&*."".com is the fastest
Update ＊＊" Zhu Qizhen chuckled, and waved his hand to Cao Jixiang, beckoning him to retreat. "By the way, I transferred seven eunuchs from Nanjing, all of whom had traveled to Nanyang with Eunuch Sanbao and Wang Jinghong.
Old man, if you have any questions, just ask."
"I thank you for your kindness. I will definitely understand your painstaking efforts." Cao Jixiang bowed deeply and kowtowed three times in the hall. Then he held the wooden box and carefully exited.
Chongzhi Hall.
Just after leaving the Chongzhi Palace, Cao Jixiang saw seven elderly eunuchs waiting outside the palace and bowed respectfully to them. Seeing these people, Cao Jixiang immediately understood that these people were Zhu Qizhen
Those eunuchs transferred from Nanjing who had sailed to the West.
After Cao Jixiang returned the salute, he turned his head, looked into the hall, and once again bowed towards the main hall with a solemn expression. It was Cao Jixiang who could obtain such an important task, and he would never dare to think about it in his life.
The feeling of being able to follow the path of his most admired idol can really make him burst into tears with excitement and happiness. This is definitely an honor that will be remembered for a lifetime and will be remembered for eternity.
While Zhu Qizhen was making these arrangements, the process of the Three Law Division's interrogation of many remaining members of the Taoist kings had quietly begun, and the fate of Wang Wen and others began to be decided. Under Zhu Qizhen's instructions, Wang Zhi and others strictly
These people were interrogated according to the rules and regulations of the Ming Dynasty.
Among the eunuchs around King Tan, except for Zhang Yong and Shu Liang who did not have any excessive misdeeds, several eunuchs headed by Wang Qin were executed for corruption, and the Northern Lord sought glory.
At Desheng Gate, Wang Cheng, who wounded Zhu Qizhen's trusted guard with a crossbow, also met the same fate.
As for Lu Zhong's crime, which was even more serious. He was accused of plotting to kill the Queen Mother, so Lu Zhong's head was chopped off directly. As for Na Xing'an, Zhu Qizhen retained him and continued to serve as the eunuch and eunuch.
.
As for Wang Wen and other civil and military ministers, after the final trial, except for four people who were executed for corruption and various crimes, most of them were acquitted, and many people were declared innocent at the end of the trial.
After that, he directly received the order to restore the official to his post.
The governor, Mao Sheng, not only was not punished, but also became the leader of the 3,000 Battalion, one of the three major battalions of the Beijing Army. The 3,000 Battalion was originally the three thousand cavalry surrendered outside the Great Wall.
An elite cavalry composed of backbones.&*.

com fastest update ＊＊The Three Thousand Battalion is different from the Fifth Army Battalion and the Shenji Battalion. All its subordinates are cavalry. Although this cavalry unit is not large in number, it is the most powerful cavalry force under Zhu Di. They mainly serve in the war.
Assault role.

And now, the warriors from all the tribes outside the Great Wall have come to the capital, and they have all been incorporated into the Three Thousand Battalion. It can be said that among the three major battalions of the Beijing Army, the Three Thousand Battalion is the strongest.
For those remnants of King Tao, when they heard the result of their fate, many people even shed tears of joy and even praised the emperor's grace. In short, they completely conquered these King Tao's people.
Die-hard subordinates, after all, Zhu Qizhen is now the emperor of the Ming Dynasty. He is extremely benevolent and righteous to them. How can they not be grateful that they survived and can continue to govern as an official?
One case was interrogated every day, and one person was judged every day. Every day, the detailed interrogation process would be written down in a report, which would be circulated in various places in the capital city and even sent to various states in the Ming Dynasty. And there were special officers all over the streets and alleys to report to the Ming Dynasty.
The common people pointed to the announcement and interpreted the results of the trial of the remaining members of King Tan.
And Zhu Qizhen's reputation for benevolence and righteousness has reached a new level in the hearts of the common people, scholars, all strata and officials. It can be said that all officials, large and small, in the capital of the Ming Dynasty finally
It's a relief.
Although Wang Zhi and others judged based on this, in the eyes of the civil and military officials, they all thought that all this was due to the instructions of Zhu Qizhen, the benevolent emperor, which enabled them to survive.
My gratitude can be described as being in awe.
Today, in the lobby of Dali Temple, Wang Wen, dressed in blue and plain clothes, listened with a bit of disbelief, a bit of joy, and a bit of confusion as the old Wang announced the result of his trial.
Finally, when he heard that he was acquitted and released in court, Wang Wen almost couldn't stand and staggered. If the guard next to him hadn't seen the opportunity and quickly supported him, he would have fallen seriously.
.
"Not guilty? I'm not guilty?..." After struggling to stand firm, Wang Wen couldn't help but burst into tears and murmured to himself non-stop. The inner torture he had suffered for more than a month, and
All those worries and burdens that were weighing on my heart finally turned into smoke at this moment.
"Yes, in addition, His Majesty also has a message for you, Mr. Wang." Seeing that Wang Wen, who has always been quiet and ungrateful, could behave in such a gaffe, Old Wang couldn't help but shook his head.
, shouted in a low voice towards Wang Wen, who was wiping the tears on his face and laughing and crying.
After hearing Lao Wang's straight words, Wang Wen, who already felt like a heavy burden had been lifted off his heart, took a deep breath and bowed to the ground respectfully. "The guilty minister Wang Wen accepts the order."
Wang Zhi opened the edict in his hand and read it out. After hearing the contents of the edict, not only Wang Wen, but also many of the officials who were listening showed surprise.
"...transferred to the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate as Zuodu Yushi?" It was really surprising to hear the final result.
As the companion capital, Nanjing moved its capital to Beijing since Ming Dynasty. Nanjing is the same as the capital and has the same officials in various ministries. However, most of the institutions in Nanjing are for the elderly. Only a few institutions such as the Nanjing Ministry of War are functional. The Nanjing Ministry of War is responsible for Nanjing.
They are responsible for the defense of the subordinate areas, while Nanjing's Minister of Civil Affairs is responsible for the household registration. Although they still have to listen to Beijing, relatively speaking, they can be regarded as the most powerful among the officials in Nanjing.
As for the other ministries and courts, they were completely regarded as places to house idle, retired or excluded officials, and most of them had no authority. But the problem was that he, Wang Wen, also served as the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
What does this mean? In other words, although he went to Nanjing to take up his post, his official position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate in Beijing still remained, which made these officials dizzy.
As for Wang Wen, a die-hard minister of King Tan, his final fate was that he was transferred out of the capital and became the censor of Zuodu of the Nanjing Metropolitan Procuratorate, while still retaining his position in the capital. It can almost be said to be a light punishment.
This puzzled many people, but no one stood up to object. After all, such an appointment must have been made by Zhu Qizhen, the great emperor who made everyone tremble.
For Wang Wen himself, this ending was really beyond his expectations. Originally, the worst plan was that he would let Zhu Qizhen be killed, and the best plan was that he would be killed.
Being demoted, exiled to the army, etc.

"Master Wang, please accept the decree." Lao Wang walked up to Wang Wen holding the read out imperial decree. Wang Wen, whose brain was temporarily in a state of panic, stretched out his hand to take the decree stiffly. After a long while,
Only then did he come back to his senses, and raised his head to look at Lao Wang Zhi, who was looking at him with a smile and stroking his beard.
"Sir, what do you mean by this, Your Majesty?" This time, Wang Wen's tone seemed much more respectful.
"I don't know what your Majesty's intentions are. Your Majesty has not told me. However, your Majesty has orally told me to tell you that tomorrow, your Majesty will personally see you. If you have any questions, you can directly ask your Majesty." Old Wang
With a look of helplessness on his face, Nao smiled and explained in a low voice.
"Your Majesty wants to order me to enter the palace?" This time, the look of shock on Wang Wen's face became even more intense. Seeing Lao Wang nodding his head affirmatively, Wang Wen couldn't help but feel a little confused. He really couldn't figure out what Zhu Qizhen actually wanted.
What tricks are you playing?
Wang Wen left Dali Temple with a look of doubt and confusion. At this point, the so-called trial of King Tan's remnant party had ended. Of course, the Minister of War, Yu Qian, had also been found not guilty a few days earlier.
He was released and his powers as Minister of War were restored.
In this battle for the throne, except for the bloodshed of the palace ban battle that day, there was no bloodshed. The officials who were beheaded were all because they had enough evidence to prove that they were guilty.
Damn it.
Regardless of whether it was Southern Zhili or Northern Zhili, or even the entire Ming Dynasty's scholar-peasant, industrial and commercial class, there was no strong reaction to this change of imperial power. In fact, many people were dissatisfied with Zhu Qi.
He was highly praised for his superiority in the town.
Those who hold this attitude are led by Xuanfu and the common people in Zhubian Town are also similar. After all, Zhu Qizhen led the army and pacified the grassland, so that the Ming Dynasty's borders have no military disasters for at least decades. How not to
Make the common people burst into tears of gratitude?
At this moment, Zhu Qizhen had quietly left Xiyuan incognito. Surrounded by dozens of guards, he rode straight towards the Fucheng Gate in the west of the capital with a look of joy and expectation on his face.
, just half an hour ago, Zhu Qizhen received a report from a fast horse. Empress Qian and other concubines were driving, and they were already only twenty miles away from the capital. After hearing the news, Zhu Qizhen hurriedly dropped the things he was doing.
As a matter of fact, I went to pick up my mother-in-law in person.
At this time, nearly a thousand elite cavalry were surrounding several carriages, slowly heading towards the capital. The curtain of the carriage at the front was lifted by a slender hand, and a pair of bright and smart eyes,
Looking at the majestic capital city wall in the distance...
