Juyongguan has been reduced to ruins. Zhu Qizhen led his army and marched straight in. Oncoming were students from the Academy of Sciences led by Bei Lin.

"I respectfully welcome the emperor to enter the customs!"

Zhu Qizhen got off his horse and looked at the scholars in front of him. Bei Lin, Mei Chun, Tong Xuan, Xu Pu... all were young talents from the Academy of Sciences. He never expected that the indestructible Juyongguan could only rely on five hundred imperial guards and one

One hundred and fifty scholars conquered it.

"The Qing family please get up!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

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

Beilin leaned forward and lowered her voice: "The Juesheng Guards received the information and notified the Jinyi Guards. Qian Shiwangui will lead the Han general to guard the palace gate. Baihu Wantong and his ministers will come to Juyongguan to welcome the Holy Emperor!"

Zhu Qizhen nodded. The Juesheng Guards were classified as top secret. Unless absolutely necessary, they would never take the initiative to contact anyone other than themselves.

These people have been anonymous all year round, spying on intelligence, and have made great military exploits, but they cannot publicize it, because their identity is the last talisman of the royal family, and they will have to continue to hide it for a long time to come.

Now he can only return to Beijing and show great kindness to his family and children to praise his achievements.

However, these are all things for later, the top priority is to recapture the capital and thoroughly cleanse the court!

If you don't want this bunch of bitches to do well, then don't live anymore!

At dawn, the battlefield was cleaned up.

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

Zhu Qizhen said: "Everyone above the flag officer level will be beheaded in public, and the others will be let go. They can go wherever they like. There is only one who will not be allowed to join the army for life!"

But Kuang Ye came forward and said: "I dare to advise you, if you don't ask the truth, beheading everyone above the flag officer, isn't it a bit... too harsh?"

Zhu Qizhen glanced at him and asked, "What do you think is appropriate?"

Kuang Ye thought for a moment, and then said: "The grassroots officers and soldiers should be investigated immediately. If it is found that they were deceived by the superiors, they should be exempted from responsibility."

Zhu Qizhen lowered his face and said, "How could I have the time to check whether they were deceived? I would have done my best not to kill them!"

Kuang Ye was still not selfish and said: "Since ancient times, the law has not punished everyone..."

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

Zhu Qizhen interrupted him mercilessly and said sternly: "From now on, I don't want to hear the words that the law does not punish everyone. If one person breaks the law, one person will be punished; if ten thousand people break the law, ten thousand people will be punished!"

Kuang Ye was choked back before he could finish the second half of his sentence. He wanted to continue the fight, but when he thought about what these people had done, he said, you will not survive because of your own sins. What happened today is purely your own death.

I can't control it!

Besides, what the emperor said is fine.

During the Hongwu period, there was no such thing as the law not punishing everyone.

As far as Emperor Taizu was concerned, as long as someone committed a crime, no matter if it was one or two people or one hundred or eighty thousand, they would all be treated equally, and he would never be lax just because there were so many people.

Among the four major Hongwu cases that made people change their minds, tens of thousands of people were not involved!

After bursts of screams, dozens of officers, large and small, were executed on the spot.

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

Yuan Bin was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said straightforwardly: "Go ahead, tell me what you know, and I will make it easier for you to leave!"

Yang Jun suddenly burst out laughing and said: "Do you think it's enough to break through Juyong Pass? I tell you, the emperor has already done great things. If you are sensible, let me go as soon as possible. When the prince ascends the throne, my Yang family can continue to let you be a royal guard.

Commander!"

Yuan Bin chuckled and said: "The Emperor is living a good life. As for whether I can be 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 is dead or alive. Don't you understand?"

Yuan Bin shook his head and said: "I don't understand, please clarify!"

Yang Jun said: "Today's emperor is cruel and unkind and competes with the people for profit, which has made the world angry and resentful. Why don't all the officials support an obedient emperor?"

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

"Commander Yuan, don't be ridiculous!"

Yang Jun shook his head and said: "His Royal Highness is only nine years old, how can a nine-year-old child manage politics? Think about it again, when the current emperor ascended the throne, he was less than eight years old. Who had the power at that time?

"

Yuan Bin frowned and asked: "Could it be that the death of the late emperor was also related to you?"

Yang Jun shut his mouth and couldn't help but sneer on his face.

Yuan Bin's face became extremely ugly, and he said coldly: "I'll ask you again, do you want to tell me?"

"Is Commander Yuan planning to use torture?"

Yang Jun looked around and said, "Even if you want to be tortured, you should at least go back to Zhao Prison, right?"

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

"Break his arms and legs!"

"yes!"

Two captains came forward with sticks in hand.

Yang Jun was anxious and shouted quickly: "Wait a minute, wait a minute, have you thought about it, do you really want to be an enemy of my Yang family?"

Yuan Bin said impatiently: "Stop using the stick, find some rocks and smash all his hands and feet!"

A school captain trotted out and came back a moment later carrying a few broken wall bricks.

"Sir, can bricks be used?"

Yuan Bin looked at it, nodded and said: "Be careful when you strike, don't kill people!"

"yes!"

The two men came to Yang Jun holding bricks.

There was fear in Yang Jun's eyes, and he hurriedly said: "You can't...ah!"

The severe pain caused his entire face to become distorted.

One of the school lieutenants pinned his arm to the ground, and another man held the brick and smashed it down, causing another heart-rending scream.

The two of them banged and banged for half an hour. Yang Jun fainted from the pain every time, and then woke up again from the pain, until his hands and feet were all shattered, 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. Seeing his condition, he ordered someone to fetch half a bucket of well water and pour it all on his head.

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

Yuan Bin knelt down and said slowly: "Say it!"

Yang Jun's face was full of pain and he said: "I don't know, it's not me, it's not me..."

"What do you mean it's not you?"

"First Emperor, First Emperor..."

"You are saying that the late emperor's death was the result of a conspiracy, and you were not the murderer. Is that what you mean?"

Yang Jun was in a daze and nodded hard.

Yuan Bin never dreamed that he would get an unexpected reward!

"If it's not you, then who is it?"

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

"Yang what?"

"Yang Shiqi...the cabinet headed by San Yang, and...all the civil and military officials..."

Yuan Bin looked stern and looked very shocked.

The Sanyang Cabinet has an excellent reputation, how could it do such a thing?

Could it be that this guy is lying to himself?

However, what benefit can he get from throwing the pot on Sanyang's head?

"Please tell me more clearly, what exactly is going on?"

Yang Jun said feebly: "That's all I know, I heard it all, that's all..."

After saying that, he fainted again.

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

Zhu Qizhen was also shocked, and thought to himself, could it be that my cheap dad was murdered?

Thinking about it again, one can indeed conclude a rule: ministers all like young emperors who are ineffective in speaking.

If the emperor is mature and has full wings, there will be no good fruit for the ministers.
