Chapter 5 Hammering Luo Yangxing to Death
The commander of the Jin Yiwei bowed his head and said nothing. He did not believe that the seven-year-old prince dared to kill the civil servant who contradicted him.
Luo Yangxing did not express his position, and the Jin Yiwei and the Han generals did not move.
Zhu Cixi saw everything clearly, and these people didn't take him seriously at all.
If it weren't for the system, he wouldn't be able to kill anyone, and he would have to be killed quietly by others.
Seeing that the Jin Yiwei and the Han generals did not move, the civil servants were secretly happy. The little prince had no prestige at all and could kill no one.
Guang Siheng also had a look of disdain in his eyes, and he even blinked proudly at the British publicity.
Zhang Zhiji almost exploded with anger and really regretted not strangling this bastard just now.
Zhu Cixiang looked at the Jinyiwei commander coldly and said:
"Luo Yangxing, do you want to resist the order and disobey it?"
"Your Highness, please forgive me. I dare not resist the decree, but I am good at killing imperial officials and I dare not accept the decree!"
Luo Yangxing seemed to be in a dilemma. He didn't know what to do for a moment, but he would definitely not help the seven-year-old prince kill all Shi Heng. He knew very well how powerful the civil service group was, unless there was an imperial edict from the emperor.
"Luo Yangxing, don't forget your identity. You are a royal dog. You have to do whatever I want you to do. Kill Guang Shiheng immediately!"
Zhu Cihong repeated it again. Luo Yangxing felt very unhappy when he heard the prince scolding him, but he did not dare to refute, so he could only bow and salute:
"Your Highness, it's better to wait until His Majesty recovers before considering killing them all!"
It's embarrassing. As the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Cihong, the superintendent of the country, couldn't kill a seventh-grade sesame officer.
Both Hu Bao and Yuan Gui opened their eyes with anger. The two young eunuchs pulled the bolts of their guns and were about to go up and shoot Guang Shiheng, but Zhu Cixiang reached out to stop him:
"No need, if the tiger doesn't show off its power, you will treat me as a sick cat!"
After Zhu Cihong said this, he stood up and walked down the imperial steps.
"Let go, didn't you hear the Crown Prince's order..."
Suddenly, there was a noise in front of the main hall, and a group of Jinyi guards were seen struggling to stop several Jinyi guards who were about to rush into the Huangji Palace.
Zhu Cixiang ignored the outside and walked slowly to Guang Shiheng:
"Guang Shiheng, do you think I can't kill you?"
Guang Shiheng cupped his hands and said:
"Your Highness, I am not guilty..."
"Bang..."
Before Guang Shiheng finished speaking, a sledgehammer hit his head instantly. There was a sound of broken bones, and Guang Shiheng's head was smashed into pieces.
"ah……"
The ministers suddenly let out a cry of surprise, but before they could react, there was another sound of bones breaking, and the head of Luo Yangxing, commander of the Jin Yiwei, was also smashed to pieces.
Luo Yangxing, the dignified commander of the Ming Dynasty's Jinyi Guards, a first-grade military attache, died unexpectedly without even making a sound.
The officials were completely stunned. Even the British Duke and others were stunned for a moment. The few guards who had escaped outside rushed in and saw their boss being beaten to death by the crown prince.
"Oh my God!"
Several people exclaimed and stood stunned on the spot.
Hu Bao and Yuan Gui immediately stood beside the Crown Prince with guns drawn. If anyone dared to harm the young master, they would immediately turn him into a hornet's nest.
Zhu Cixi snorted coldly:
"A commander of the Imperial Guard with zero loyalty, what use does this palace want from you, and what use does my father want from you!"
When the capital fell, Luo Yangxing did nothing as the commander of the Jinyi Guards. Instead, he surrendered and tortured the ministers on behalf of the bandits. They were the ministers Zhu Cihong wanted to kill in the future, so he simply killed them together today.
Putting away the drum, urn and golden hammer, Zhu Cixiang turned around and sat down on the dragon chair. He looked at the five imperial guards who rushed in. The person in the official uniform should be Qian Hu.
"Who are you, and why did you break into the Emperor's Palace without permission?"
Zhu Cixiang's voice woke up the five people, and they immediately knelt down and kowtowed:
"Reporting to Your Highness, my subordinate Li Ruolian is highly talented in literature and did not dare to break into the court without permission. He just wanted to carry out His Highness's orders, but they stopped him!"
"Oh, Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai are free of charge!"
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
When he heard that they were Li Ruolian and Gao Wencai, Zhu Cixiang immediately smiled.
These two heroes died fighting for the Ming Dynasty in history. As expected, their performance was different from other imperial guards. Zhu Cixi admired their courage:
"Why did you take the risk and go against the commanding officer? Aren't you afraid of the revenge of the civil servants and Luo Yangxing?"
Seeing that the Crown Prince was smiling broadly, just like Ruo Jing when he went on a killing spree, several people hurriedly handed over their hands and reported back:
"Your Highness, the Jin Yiwei will not obey the royal orders, so what is the use of the Jin Yiwei? I know my identity and mission very well, and I am willing to go through fire and water for the Ming Dynasty!"
They appeared in time. Zhu Cixiang was short of people, so he immediately tested their loyalty. If their loyalty is low, no matter how good their words are, they will not work.
After testing, the loyalty level of several people was around 80. Although they were not die-hard loyalists, it didn't matter. Zhu Cixiang estimated that the other 20 degrees of loyalty among them might be with Emperor Chongzhen.
Zhu Cixiang's miraculous maneuvers took the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty a long time to recover from their confusion. Even Zhang Zhiji and others did not expect that the crown prince would kill so decisively.
Where did that sledgehammer come from? How could the prince have so much strength at such a young age? Why did the prince want to kill the commander of the Jin Yiwei? He was in big trouble...
Zhang Zhiji and the others nodded and shook their heads, not knowing what to do at all.
They only knew that the Crown Prince went on a killing spree in the court and caused great trouble, and the civil servants would not give in easily.
As expected, the civil servants who reacted forgot where the crown prince's sledgehammer came from and immediately began to denounce Zhu Cihong:
Censor Li Jian:
"Your Highness, how could you kill the official in the court? It's too absurd. You will definitely be a tyrant in the future..."
Wang Aoyong, Minister of Household Affairs:
"His Royal Highness is too murderous. His future succession to the throne will be no different from that of the tyrannical Yang Guang..."
…
More than a dozen civil servants accused Zhu Cihong of being tyrannical, but Wen Tiren still hid behind him and did not express his position. Although he hated Zhu Cihong in his heart, he did not let others see his thoughts at all.
Seeing the performance of the elite civil servants, Zhu Cixi suddenly wanted to laugh. He even compared him with King Zhou of Yin and Yang Guang. Are they really not afraid of death?
Are there really any civil servants in the Ming Dynasty who are not afraid of death?
Of course, there were civil servants in the Ming Dynasty who were not afraid of death, but they were patriotic civil servants, such as Li Banghua, Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, Liu Lishun, Meng Zhaoxiang, etc.
Of course, it also includes those commanders who led their armies on the battlefield, such as Lu Xiangsheng, Sun Chuanting, Sun Chengzong, etc. They can all live and die with the Ming Dynasty.
However, these corrupt officials are not really afraid of death. When the Japanese army entered Beijing and marched south, they were killed by the wind. They could even tell that the water was too cold. At that time, they did not have the courage to fight against the Japanese soldiers.
The reason why the Qing gossip officials dared to slander people in the court without restraint was because they knew that Chongzhen would not kill them and would only fight for a while. If Emperor Chongzhen had been decisive in killing them, there would not have been so many traitors.
But this time they really misjudged the person. Zhu Cixiang was a time traveler, and he knew the nature of these people very well. They were a group of corrupt officials with zero loyalty. How could they not kill him if they had the chance?
"Come here, push the corrupt officials who slandered me out of the Meridian Gate and behead them, destroying the three clans!"
"As you command!"
Seeing Luo Yangxing being beaten to death by Zhu Cixiang with their own eyes, how dare the Jinyi guards dare to neglect him.
Li Ruolian waved his hand, and the Jin Yiwei rushed to the civil servants like wolves and tigers. Without hesitation, they dragged the leaders Wang Aoyong and Li Jian out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded them.
Seeing that the young prince had killed two more third-rank officials, the legs of the Qingliu censors who had been fussing just now began to tremble. No one dared to come out to intercede for Wang Aoyong and the others anymore. The loudmouths were afraid of being killed.
Zhu Cixiang showed a sneer on his lips:
"Have you sprayed enough? If you haven't sprayed enough, please continue spraying, otherwise I will start to perform."
The elite civil servants bowed their heads and remained silent. They could only criticize Zhu Cihong in their hearts. No one dared to stand up and speak out.
Seeing that no one spoke, Zhu Cixi waved his hand:
"Come here, drag out all the officials who are angry with me, beat them with twenty imperial sticks and take them to Zhao Prison." I like the Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age started from the prince's prison, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) The Ming Dynasty, the prosperous age
