The emperor's words determined that dozens of people involved in this incident, as well as no less than ten thousand people implicated, would disappear from the vast history of the Central Plains.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Gao Yangzhi appreciatively: "I'll leave this matter to you and keep an eye on it personally."

Gao Yangzhi nodded silently and took the order.

The court's punishments and severe punishments were always intended to frighten Xiao Xiao.

And what he proposed today, to expel **, ** and other people from their six ethnic groups, was not to set an example for future generations, so that future generations could remember this matter and not dare to do so.

Perverting the law.

There will naturally be events in future generations that can shock future generations.

What he has to do is to completely shock the people at the moment.

After Gao Yangzhi accepted the order, he slowly retreated to the team belonging to the cabinet ministers, and his eyes swept over the surrounding civil and military ministers.

I am afraid that no one here would like to be like ** and ** and become an existence abandoned by history and words.

No one wants to be like this.

Even a person like Cao Mengde would only shout: I would rather teach me to betray the world than teach the world to betray me.

But if you tell this thief Cao, from now on, no one will know his name, existence, or deeds in his life.

I'm afraid he would never dare to say something like "I would rather teach the world not to recognize me."

All fights are nothing more than fame and wealth.

The reputation is gone, so there’s nothing left to argue about.

In the eyes of future generations, it may be a small punishment, but to these people now, it is far more terrifying than beheading, confiscating the family, and annihilating the entire clan.

After Gao Yangzhi returned to the group of cabinet ministers, he heard the gentleman beside him, Xie Jin, speak in a low voice.

"You also want to imitate Tie Xuan and renounce yourself in the court?"

Gao Yangzhi glanced at the civil and military officials present again.

At this moment, no one dared to look directly at him, not even secretly looking at him.

Gao Yangzhi chuckled in a low voice.

"Students are in the cabinet and are in charge of the three law departments. Why do they need to be liked? If one day...then these people will naturally come to visit you with smiles on their faces."

Xie Jin was stunned for a moment.

I have to nod my head in agreement with this student's point of view.

But he shook his head again: "You are becoming more and more knowledgeable about being an official."

Gao Yangzhi clasped his hands together and chuckled.

When Xie Jin saw this, he said no more.

Even though they are their own students, students have grown up now and have their own opinions on things.

As long as it doesn't develop in a bad direction, Xie Jin has always advocated that his students can develop in a variety of ways.

This end.

With the traitors such as the ** and the ** being dealt with, the abdication ceremony has also entered the process again.

First of all, it was naturally Sun Gouer who read the abdication edict of Emperor Hongwu in public.

This abdication edict is naturally different from the original historical edict.

They generally affirmed the political measures of the Hongwu Dynasty and then praised the prince's outstanding abilities.

Finally, he placed high hopes on the prince who was about to become the new emperor. He hoped that the new emperor could continue to implement the policies of the Hongwu Dynasty, not shy away from the so-called ancestral laws, and adapt to the changing policies of the times.

The core point of the entire abdication edict is actually about the determination and changes of the ancestral laws that have been spoken by countless civil and military ministers since ancient times.

With the issuance of Zhu Yuanzhang's abdication edict.

Later emperors of the Ming Dynasty no longer had to worry about the so-called ancestral laws.

Once the Ming Dynasty needs to update its national policy, it can correct it according to the national conditions at that time without having to worry about the obstruction of the civil and military officials above the court.

Anyone who blocks it is really fighting against the ancestral method.

Then, it was the same old routine of three invitations and three resignations.

The princes and ministers in the court invited the prince three times to ascend the throne. Zhu Biao resigned from the throne three times, and only nodded in agreement at the last time.

Even if it is abdication, the rules that kings should abide by still need to be implemented and observed.

How could the position of emperor be given up just by saying so?

Even if it’s a scene-based process, it must be done.

It doesn't matter who they are, they all have the surname Sima.

Not every dynasty is as capable of treachery as the Jin Dynasty of the Sima family, and killed the emperor in the street. Afterwards, he even wanted to silence the minister, but he didn't want the minister to strip naked and climb to the roof in front of the entire city.

Exposed the dirty things that Sima's family did.

Since then, no matter whether the Sima family has done well or badly, it can be regarded as a solid achievement that will leave its name in history.

Moreover, the Sima family did not do very well either.

In the end, it also resulted in the death of the entire clan, but it was a beginning and an end, and the retribution was unpleasant.

After three invitations and three resignations.

Zhu Biao finally accepted the position of the new king of the Ming Dynasty with the support of the civil and military officials. Under the service of the etiquette officials and the eunuchs of the inner court, he put on the last dragon dress sewn by Empress Ma herself fifteen years ago in Hongwu.

robe.

now.

All attention.

Zhu Biao held his wide sleeves in one hand and held them horizontally in front of him. With the other hand, he held the sleeves and held them behind his back. His eyes were brightly red.

"Xuan."

"All officials kowtow."

Sun Gou'er also had tears in his eyes, but he was filled with endless joy.

He had served the Tian family for many years and knew very well how much the Queen loved and cared for these children.

If the queen is still here...

Sun Gou'er couldn't help but turn around and look at Zhongshan to the north of the Temple of Heaven.

As for the clan's meritorious deeds, the princes and ministers came forward one after another, waved their robes, and knelt on the ground.

Sun Gouer held back his surging emotions and tears and shouted again: "Xing."

All the officials stood up.

"kneel."

Hundreds of officials kowtowed.

"prosper."

The officials stood up again.

Sun Gouer finally shouted: "Kneel down again."

All the officials knelt down and waited for the last word "Xing" from Sun Gou'er's mouth.

Inside and outside the Temple of Heaven, the merits of the princes, civil and military ministers, officers and soldiers, and the common people all started to shout loudly.

"Long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

So far.

At this abdication ceremony, Zhu Biao accepted the abdication and all the procedures for becoming the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty were completed.

From this moment on, Zhu Biao was the supreme power of the Ming Empire.

Zhu Biao looked at the civil and military officials and thousands of people in front of him, slowly turned around, and bowed respectfully to the old man sitting on the throne on the left.

Then he gently picked up his steps and sat on the throne on the right.

He waved his sleeves.

Sun Gou'er immediately took out a prepared decree from the side and sent it to Ren Hengtai's hands.

Ren Hengtai took over the imperial edict.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, he stood in front of the throne, faced everyone, and began to read out the first imperial edict of the second emperor of the Ming Dynasty after he ascended the throne.

"... All Hongwu national policies should be followed at present, and all departments will continue to work as usual."

The emperor's first decree was also full of formulas and rules.

First of all, it is natural to acknowledge all the political strategies of the Hongwu Dynasty, then there are words of self-effacement, and finally there is the outlook for the new dynasty, confirming that next year it will be the Yuan Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous.

Other than that, there is no particularly eye-catching content presented in this will.
