Zhu Qizhen, you can do it. As soon as this sentence was released, it gave Xu Youzhen and others great confidence. The next day, the settlement of the accounts began. A large number of imperial officials were arrested. Some were indeed close to Yu Qian, but most of them were still people with different political views from Xu Youzhen and Shiheng. They just took this opportunity to eliminate dissidents. Some were those who had done things that harmed Zhu Qizhen. The damage caused their own prisons at that time. In severe cases, they might be separated and killed. I don’t know if they regret it. For example, Lu Zhong in the Golden Knife case, and Gao Ping, who cut off the trees around Nangong, could not escape this disaster. Of course, there were many changes in cabinet members. Jiang Yuan, Shang Lu, Chen Xun and other cabinet ministers were replaced.
Xu Youzhen and Shi Heng helped Zhu Qizhen to seek a coup, just for his own glory and wealth. These restoration ministers did not treat him badly and recommended each other nominations. Zhu Qizhen and Lu Yunzhi also agreed to each other one by one, which made them particularly pleased. Xu Youzhen was the Minister of War and entered the cabinet, and Shi Heng was named Duke Zhongguo, which was also considered to be a prophecy that Shi Fang once said on the way to Timur that Shi Heng would definitely be appointed as a marquis in the future.
Zhang Fu has made a lot of contributions. He was named Marquis and was named Marquis of Taiping. Yang Shan and Yang Zhun and others were much lower-key, slightly better than half a level to express their commendation. Lu Yunzhi even refused Zhu Qizhen's idea of listing him as the Three Dukes. Lu Yunzhi held the power with great power and had a tendency to overtake imperial power. It would be useless to have these false names. Moreover, Yu Qian is dead, and the heroes of the world cannot compete with Lu Yunzhi, and there is no need to suppress others in government affairs. In this way, the promotion of Yang Shan and Yang Zhun is easy to understand. One is Lu Yunzhi's father-in-law and the other is Lu Yunzhi's father-in-law's uncle. These two identities are more useful than royal relatives, so it is optional to be promoted or not.
However, Cao Jixiang, who was also the Zhongzheng lineage, jumped up and received Lu Yunzhi's instruction. He took over the position of eunuch Sili, firmly controlled the inner palace, and supervised the three camps. In addition, the military power held by Lu Yunzhi was now supervised by his own people, guarding the capital. The three camps of the country's sword have become Lu Yunzhi's private soldiers.
In this change of gate-grabbing, the forces of the three camps of the capital played an important role in blocking the army outside Yu Qian. When Cheng Fangdong occupied the capital, Yu Qian was forced to negotiate peace with Lu Yunzhi. When the military power was settled, Lu Yunzhi and Yu Qian had an agreement that, first, never change the different surnames and make themselves kings, and the Zhu royal family still came to sit in the country. Second, once there is a frontier war, they will definitely resist foreign enemies and prevent foreign tribes from invading. Third, stabilize the country and stabilize the country and calm the turbulent situation, and relieve the people from the disaster of war.
With these three agreements, Yu Qian was relieved to hand over the troops to the Zhongzheng lineage. Yu Qian did not believe in the Zhongzheng lineage, but Yu Qian knew that the Zhongzheng lineage was still reliable in such a big deal. Lu Yunzhi did not violate the previous agreement this time and was a villain who did not speak trustlessly, because this agreement was originally very comprehensive.
First, Lu Yunzhi was restored, and did not establish himself as a king, nor did he innovate his surname as an emperor. It was still Zhu Qizhen, a surname named Zhu. Second, it did not exist at all. The frontier wars in recent years were not urgent, and there was no danger of mobilizing troops in the capital. Third, this coup was not only the garrisons who were loyal to Yu Qian who were killed by Wang Zhen in Nangong, but also had no casualties, and it was not involved in ordinary people and the turmoil of the situation. The confrontation between the army outside the city was just a deterrent, just like an exercise. The change of the gate was a failure of soldiers and was successful in one fell swoop.
After the power change in the capital, the most powerful cabinet was useless, but Xu Youzhen cared a lot about the composition of the cabinet. Four of the original five people were laid off, leaving only a ignorant Gao Gu. So Xu Youzhen promoted Xu Bin, a participant in the Sect Transformation, and his confidant Xue Xuan, to the cabinet. Even so, one was missing. Xu Youzhen took a fancy to Li Xian, so Li Xian also entered the cabinet. What Xu Youzhen did not expect was that his future failure was also closely related to Li Xian. If he knew in advance, he would definitely not make any move to promote Li Xian, and he would also throw Li Xian into a prison. At least the restoration of the party would be at its peak.
When Yu Qian died, he was taken to prison, he was no longer able to do it. Xu Youzhen meant that Yu Qian committed suicide fearlessly, while Lu Yunzhi and Zhu Qizhen did not allow it. Zhu Qizhen claimed that if Yu Qian died in prison, the people would have mistakenly believed that Yu Qian was tortured to death, and that he was concealed the truth, which was not conducive to the national prestige. Lu Yunzhi agreed to be too humiliated and let him die openly and be harmed by treacherous people. Just like Xu Youzhen, it is most suitable for people like Xu Youzhen. Of course, Lu Yunzhi did not say this clearly, and Xu Youzhen did not dare to ask too much. The emperor and the young master Lu said, who dared not to obey?
So Wang Yulu appeared in the prison. Half an hour later, Yu Qian's expression was as good as before, and his expression was still the same. He just closed his eyes tightly. If someone put his hands on his skin, he would find it cold. It turned out that he just looked like a living person.
The charges have been prepared, that is, the establishment of foreign vassals, in other words, the crime of treason,
On the 23rd day of the first lunar month, outside Chongwen Gate, Yu Qian was beheaded and executed. The weather was cold and Wang Yulu was indeed profound in medicine. Yu Qian made his last appearance in front of the people. As the head fell to the ground, blood was pouring in, and it was really hard to lively and vivid. For Wang Yulu, Xu Youzhen originally wanted to behead Yu Qian in half, but Lu Yunzhi glared at him and didn't dare to make any decisions. People like Xu Youzhen may never understand what it means to appreciate each other. He only knows the same smell as blood circulation.
With Yu Qian's beheading, his house was also confiscated, but every official who went to confiscated the house looked as if he was ashes. They were deeply shocked by the dead Yu Qian again, because this first-rank official in the court actually had a bare house, holding military power, a large amount of military equipment, and plucks that could be used to consume military pay, but he was still so honest. The only valuable thing in the family was the sword and python robe that Zhu Qiyu once gave to Yu Qian. Everyone understood what a clean official was called, what a loyal minister, and the wealth of the country was not taken away.
Yu Qian's son and daughter-in-law were all exiled to the frontier. Originally, the crime of treason should have been punished by nine clans, but they were escaped. It must have been Lu Yunzhi's credit.
Yu Qian's daughter-in-law Zhang was sent to Shanhaiguan, and his son Yu Mian was expelled to Longmen, Shanxi, where he received the care of Fang Qingze. Yu Mian happily accepted the help of the Zhongzheng lineage, because Yu Qian once said that Lu Yunzhi was a hero of the world and a person with broad mind. The dispute between his father had ended. Yu Mian only hoped to quell the wrongs of his father in the future, and Lu Yunzhi agreed to him firmly.
