Chapter 543 Ming Dynasty: The Emperor Guards the National Gate (32)
It took two hours for the rebellion outside to be quelled.
In front of Taihe Gate, Zhiyu, dressed in a dragon robe, looked at the group of people who were being suppressed by the guards with a sense of oppression.
"You guys are quite courageous."
"You are not afraid that your nine clans will accompany you to suffer down there."
Seeing Zhiyu appear before them when he should have been on the battlefield, the Donglin Party members had no idea what was going on. They had fallen into someone else's trap.
And the person who came down from the circle was the empress they looked down upon.
When the rebellious members of the royal family saw Zhiyu's stern face, they turned pale with fright.
Your Majesty, aren’t you fighting outside? Why did you suddenly appear here?
Had the news of their rebellion been leaked?
They were clearly acting in secret, how did His Majesty know about it...
Seeing that the people being held down were silent, Zhiyu waved his hand calmly and ordered, "Take them away."
After saying this, Zhiyu looked at Wei Zhongxian who was standing in front of all the officials and said, "Nine thousand nine hundred years old, these people are plotting treason. According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, how should we deal with them?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhongxian stood up. He glanced at the suppressed Donglin Party members indifferently, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
The Donglin Party has caused him a lot of trouble over the years. Now that these people are seeking their own death, he will not let them go easily.
"Your Majesty, according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, anyone who intends to rebel shall have their entire family executed."
Zhiyu nodded calmly upon hearing this, "For those in the royal family, three clans will be executed, and for the rest, we will deal with them according to the law."
Wei Zhongxian nodded, "Yes."
After saying that, he waved his hand and the guards immediately escorted these people away.
Hearing about Zhiyu's execution, the rebel who had been silent just now became anxious, "Your Majesty, you can't do this."
"We are also the descendants of Emperor Taizu. If you kill us, how will you face our ancestors in the future?"
Hearing this, Zhiyu raised his hand and asked the guards to stop.
She slowly stood up, walked to the person who had just spoken, raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Why am I too embarrassed to face my ancestors?"
"You rebelled, and I killed you. It is only natural."
Hearing this, the man uttered a "Pooh" sound and looked at Zhiyu with extreme contempt, "How can a woman like you be the emperor?"
"Emperor Taizu said that the harem cannot interfere in government affairs."
"We are not rebelling now, we are just restoring order."
Hearing this, Zhiyu seemed to have heard something funny, "Set things right?"
"A bunch of clowns like you are worthy enough to talk about restoring order?"
"If you want to restore order, you need strength. You look down on me because I'm a woman."
"But you guys can't even defeat a woman like me."
"Tell me, are you a bunch of losers?"
"Even trash like you dare to go before our ancestors, so why shouldn't I dare?"
As he spoke, Zhiyu looked at these people, clicked his tongue a few times, shook his head and sighed in disgust: "Delete them all from the family tree before killing them. There is no such waste in the royal family of the Ming Dynasty."
"Yes."
After the rebels were suppressed, Zhiyu walked up the steps and said to the officials standing below with a smile: "My lords, now that you have followed me to visit the people, I think you all know how difficult life is."
"Officials should protect the people and defend the country."
"Knowing that people's lives are difficult, I hope you will devote more attention to the people in the future, truly establish your hearts for heaven and earth, and your lives for the people...
