Zhu Qiyu walked forward quickly and saw Zhu Qizhen riding a horse from a distance, looking at him.
At this moment, he felt his nose was sore and tears could not stop pouring out.
Although the two are similar in age, Zhu Qizhen has been like an older brother since he was a child. In the first year after he ascended the throne, he crowned Zhu Qiyu the king. In the second year, the nine-year-old brother personally crowned his eight-year-old brother. Zhu Qiyu is now twenty years old and has already reached the age to join the vassal state. However, Zhu Qizhen was reluctant to let him go, so he stayed in the capital.
Now, when the two brothers meet again, it feels like they have been separated from each other.
"Your Majesty Zhu Qiyu comes to see the Emperor!"
"My brother, please get up!"
Zhu Qizhen got off his horse and helped Zhu Qiyu up.
Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear it any longer and sobbed: "Emperor, brother emperor..."
Zhu Qizhen still looked like a big brother. He touched Zhu Qiyu's head and said softly: "You are not young anymore, why are you still crying?"
"Brother Emperor, you have lost weight and become darker. You must have suffered a lot these days..."
Zhu Qiyu wiped away his tears with his sleeves, tried to control his emotions, and knelt down again.
"Now that the emperor has returned in triumph, my brother has returned the power of supervising the country and welcomes the emperor back to the palace!"
"No hurry, no rush," Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said, "I still have some things to deal with, so don't rush into the city yet!"
Zhu Qiyu said with some surprise: "Brother, you'd better go to the city first. If you have any orders, it's not too late to go back to the palace!"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said, "I dare not enter."
"Why?"
Zhu Qiyu suddenly froze, with a look of confusion on his face.
Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "I'm worried that when I enter this city gate, someone will be waiting for me with a knife!"
Zhu Qiyu broke out in a cold sweat and asked cautiously: "Brother Emperor... why did you say this?"
While the two were talking, Cao Jixiang, Shi Heng and others followed Li Zhen and came closer.
"I bow to the emperor, long live my emperor!"
"Come, let me open your eyes!"
Zhu Qizhen took Zhu Qizhen's hand, came to Cao Jixiang and others, and said, "Does my brother know these people?"
"Recognize... recognize!"
Zhu Qiyu was a little confused and could only nodded.
Suddenly, his heart trembled, these people in front of him were not the same people who persuaded him to supervise the country...
This clearly shows that we are settling scores in the future and killing the chicken to scare the monkey.
I am that monkey!
Thinking of this, a chill surged through his heart. Just now, he was still deeply affectionate as a brother, but he was about to turn into an enemy.
Wuqing is the emperor's family. I thought that this kind of thing would never happen to me, but I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it...
At that moment, he was disheartened and said: "These are all important officials. I wonder why the emperor is asking this question?"
"A great minister?" Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "Cao Jixiang, King Tan thinks very highly of you!"
Cao Jixiang knelt on the ground, his face turned pale, and he said tremblingly: "I am scared..."
"Are you still scared?" Zhu Qizhen's expression suddenly changed, and his tone became cold, "When doing important things, I never see you scared!"
Fan Zhong immediately stepped forward: "The general is here!"
"Cut it off!"
"Yes!"
Cao Jixiang felt a stream of heat flowing out from between his buttocks. He wanted to beg for mercy, but his mouth was trembling uncontrollably. No matter how hard he tried, he could not speak.
Fan Zhong drew out his waist knife and chopped it off without hesitation.
A stream of blood spurted out, and Zhu Qiyu couldn't help but stretched out his hand to block it, but it still splashed on his face.
Shi Heng and others who were kneeling on the ground were shocked. This is serious!
It's okay to kill someone, but at least you have to give a clear reason for it, and then hand it over to the three departments for trial, and finally decide on the execution date.
It's better now, I don't even bother to run the program and just cut it off.
Is this still the orthodox emperor I know?
Zhu Qizhen turned to Cao Qin and asked: "Cao Qing's family, I killed your godfather, don't you have nothing to say?"
"I, I..." Cao Qin stammered, "I am guilty... I will die!"
"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen looked at him playfully and asked, "What's the crime?"
"Chen, I shouldn't...shouldn't..."
At this time, Zhu Qiyu couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward and said: "Please have mercy, Your Majesty. They are innocent. If you have any problem, just come to my brother!"
Zhu Qizhen gave him a meaningful look and said, "It's not your turn to intervene before I do anything, so step aside!"
After finishing speaking, he winked at Fan Zhong.
Fan Zhong understood this, raised his sword and dropped it, while Cao Qin's head fell to the ground.
Zhu Qiyu was dumbfounded and stood blankly in the single field, not knowing what to do.
At this moment, there was only one thought left in his mind: why did the emperor's temperament change drastically when he came back from the war and became so murderous?
Although these people have some evil intentions, they have done nothing wrong after all. They just supported themselves to supervise the country, and now they die in front of them one by one. This ending is really difficult to accept.
Zhu Qizhen turned to the next target: "Ma Shun, do you have anything to say?"
Ma Shun was so frightened that he peed his pants. When the news came that Wang Zhen was killed on the front line, he knew that his life was in danger, so he turned to support King Yin. However, after King Yin took over the country, he treated several of them
As he became increasingly estranged, he thought that he would not be able to escape death until the emperor came back, so he might as well break his heart and follow Cao Jixiang and his son in rebellion!
Who would have thought that before I even took action, the emperor suddenly came back!
This completely disrupted their plan. They only wanted to welcome the emperor back before making any plans. However, they did not expect that they could not wait to enter the city and started killing indiscriminately outside the city.
At this point, he was still thinking about which link had gone wrong and why the emperor showed his sword when they met without saying anything.
"Don't say anything, Fan Zhong!"
Fan Zhong stepped forward and beheaded Ma Shun with one strike. The whole action was as simple as squeezing an ant to death without even blinking.
Zhu Qizhen looked at Xu Jue and asked, "Does Xu Qing's family have anything to say?"
Xu Jue watched helplessly as the three people in front of him were beheaded. Now it was his turn. He was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. He hurriedly said: "I am guilty, please forgive me!"

"Oh?" Zhu Qizhen repeated his old trick and asked, "What's the crime?"
"I learned about the rebellion of Cao Jixiang and his son, but failed to report it in time. This is... this is... the crime of deceiving the emperor!"
Zhu Qizhen nodded, or he is a good scholar. He pinned the label of rebellion on the dead man, but he himself failed to report the knowledge. Do you think it is irritating?
"Tell me, when did you know that Cao Jixiang was rebelling?"
Xu Jue rolled his eyes and said: "Last night!"
"How to know?"
"This..." Xu Jue's mind was racing and he said, "They want to recruit me to join the gang. If I don't agree, my life will be at stake. I don't care about life and death matters. I'm just worried that no one will come out to send news, so I pretend to be false."
I promised that when the time comes, I will report it to the court as soon as possible!"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly fell silent. This guy is so good at deceiving, even good people can be deceived!
At the same time, Zhu Qiyu was confused, his eyes were blank, and he had no idea what was happening.
Fan Zhong was already impatient and said: "Your Majesty, if you have anything to say to such a traitor, let's just kill him with a single blow!"
Zhu Qizhen curled his lips and said: "I am a reasonable person. Even if I want to chop him down, I have to make him convinced!"
Xu Jue hurriedly said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers are really being held hostage. Cao Jixiang and his son, Shi Heng's uncle and nephew are all the main conspirators, and there is also Ma Shun, he is Wang Zhen's godson. Wang Zhen has done many evil things, and he is separated from Ma Shun."
Regardless of the relationship, I am willing to tell everything I know. I just want the emperor to show mercy and not to punish me!"
"Xu Jue, you son of a bitch!"
At this time, Shi Heng on the side started scolding directly.
"Wang Zhen, that eunuch is nothing. You are worse than a eunuch. When we first planned the plan, you came up with the most ideas. Now that the incident has come to light, you have completely ignored yourself. I will kill you!"
After saying that, he pounced on Xu Jue like a hungry wolf, raised his fist and struck him.
Shi Biao did not have the courage, so he knelt down and prayed: "Wei Chen is confused, please forgive me. The idea came from Cao Jixiang, his son, and Xu Jue. Wei Chen's uncle and nephew are just accomplices. Please remember Wei Chen's uncle and nephew."
For the sake of guarding the border for many years, please spare me this time!"
"Speaking of guarding the border, I haven't settled the score with your uncles and nephews yet!"
Zhu Qizhen suddenly got angry, pointed at Shi Biao and cursed: "When Wala invaded Datong, your uncle and nephew ran faster than rabbits, disrupting all my plans, and they were almost trapped to death in the building."
Fort, damn it, the more I think about it, the angrier it becomes, Fan Zhong, what are you doing standing still, do it!"
