my brother-in-law is the prince

Chapter 519 Thorough Liquidation

The minister of Honglu Temple showed a look of shock.

Daxing Emperor!

Even in the minds of many people, Zhu Di had already passed away, but these four words, uttered from Zhang Anshi's mouth, were enough to shock people.

After all, what Emperor Daxing represents is blood and slaughter.

The minister of Honglu Temple thought even more horribly, could it be... Could it be...Emperor Daxing still had a will before his death?

It's not impossible.

If so, an accurate will is enough to overturn all the current controversies.

And this also means that all the previous efforts have now... all failed.

Honglu Siqing thought this way, and many people also thought this way.

Therefore, thinking of this point, one can't help but feel anxious in one's heart.

This variable is not small.

The scary thing is that for many people now, there is actually no turning back.

Yes, for this sake, where is there any way to go back?

So Honglu Siqing gathered his mind, kept a calm face, and barely suppressed the panic in his heart.

He said: "As far as I know, the imperial edict drafted by Emperor Daxing was witnessed by His Royal Highness and the princes of Wenyuan Pavilion. They all witnessed it with their own eyes. Therefore, it is kept here as a record. Old man... old man has never heard of it. Well, the Emperor Daxing has another edict, if someone really comes up with it, then it must be... and it must be a traitor who forged the edict!"

"His Royal Highness Song claimed that what he did today was ordered by Emperor Daxing. Dare I ask, when was the order? Is there an edict? If there is no edict, or forged edict, Your Highness should think about it. This is a death sentence. The crime of treason deserves ten thousand deaths!"

After saying these words, he gradually felt that his courage had been regained, so he paused, and said again: "But if you can't produce the edict, then...you can see that His Highness's words and deeds today are even more treasonous! Leading troops Entering the palace and beating the minister is also a crime worthy of death!"

When he said this, many people among the officials immediately began to think about it.

This gentleman deserves to be one of the Nine Ministers, with meticulous logic and punitive sentences.

If you, Zhang Anshi, dare to say the will of Emperor Daxing, but as long as everyone does not recognize it, then this will cannot be established!

Since it is not established, then it is a forgery of the will, which is of course a serious crime.

But if he can't get it out, what Zhang Anshi is doing now is enough to make Zhang Anshi die a hundred times.

Then one after another righteous and awe-inspiring voices came and went in the hall again.

"Yes, what Mr. Zhu said is true."

"His Royal Highness, where is the imperial edict?"

"Entering the palace to beat the ministers, even carrying a sword, and leading the army, you can be convicted!"

For a moment, the momentum in the hall was like a rainbow.

Yang Rong watched all this calmly, and he gradually began to recall the memory at this time. After only a trace of suspicion flashed in his eyes, he gradually felt a sense of transparency. At this moment, his eyes became even more meaningful.

Hu Guang also wanted to follow up and say something.

At this time, Yang Rong was holding his arm tightly. Yang Rong was so hard that Hu Guang was in pain and wanted to call out, but he was afraid of being disrespectful in front of the palace, so he glanced at Yang Rong annoyed.

Jin Youzi's expression was surprisingly calm, he just pursed his lips, noncommittal.

Zhang Anshi just laughed: "The will...of course there is no such thing."

"There is no edict... How can you act on the orders of the Emperor Daxing!" The corner of Honglu Siqing's mouth twitched into a sneer.

In fact, his guess is that Zhang Anshi should have a false edict on him, but he dare not show it after some words.

So at this time, the expression of the Minister of Honglu Temple became much more relaxed. He even looked around, and then smiled and teased: "Could it be that Emperor Daxing came back from the dead and gave His Royal Highness Song the will?"

"You really deserve to be the minister of my humerus..."

At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.

This sound like a bell, followed by a burly figure, walked into the hall, but all of a sudden... it gave people a feeling of suffocation.

Suddenly, the hall was extremely quiet.

Quiet enough to hear the needle drop.

Everyone subconsciously looked towards the palace door. If they looked carefully, it was not difficult to find that many people's faces were visibly frozen.

Then, when they raised their eyes, they saw an extremely familiar figure.

So after a short moment of astonishment, suddenly, many people's faces became extremely ugly.

The voice continued: "I really didn't expect that this could be guessed by Zhu Qing's family. Zhu Qing's family can be regarded as a talented person, and it is Zhuge Kongming of my Ming Dynasty. Zhang Qing, I have never discovered such a talent before." ?”

The Minister of Honglu Temple: "..."

He is obviously not Zhuge Liang.

At this time, he only looked at everything in front of him in shock, and suddenly felt powerless and limp.

Zhu Di walked forward with a stride like a dragon and a tiger, his eyes were full of hope.

Zhang Anshi smiled, and responded: "Your Majesty, I have always admired Zhu Siqing's eloquence. Such a person...a single mouthful is worth as much as a guard's soldiers."

Zhu Di seemed to be amused by this remark, he laughed loudly and said: "I heard that since ancient times, there have been such debaters who can turn the world upside down just by waving their three-inch tongues, and today, it is indeed true. "

As he said that, Zhu Di suddenly sighed and said: "Fortunately, I didn't really die. If I really died, under the tongues of these people, there would be no proof of death. My intentions are at the mercy of these people. Such tongues, The loss caused, not to mention a single guard, even the entire five-army governor's mansion is completely wiped out, it's not enough."

The two sang together and in between.

But all the officials in the palace are still in shock.

At this time, everyone had mixed feelings, and no one cared about what His Majesty said.

Finally... someone shouted: "Long live my emperor... Welcome... Welcome..."

The person who spoke was none other than Chen Ji, the military doctor who talked so eloquently before.

Not only Chen Ji, but Zhang Jing, the Minister of Rites, Deng Hairen, the imperial censor, etc. also wanted to bow their heads.

At this time, whoever is more guilty, who is more fearful, whoever is most fearful, will be more submissive.

Zhu Di was just calm and calm, his eyes fell on Chen Ji, the military officer, and said: "The Chen Qing family seemed to say that the chief ministers have no intention of suppressing the bandits, and let the bandits run rampant, right?"

Chen Ji was frightened out of his wits, Qi Qi said: "This... this... this is just a rumor..."

"There is no groundless reasoning in the world." Zhu Di said, "What's more, you are a doctor in the Ministry of War, how could you... use rumors to make things happen? This court is not Caishikou, it seems...it should be true. Fortunately, Chen Qing's family reminded me, if it wasn't for the reminder from Chen Qing's family, I really don't know that my frontier officials have reached such a point, they actually make trouble for the thieves, ignore them, and there are even some... Dare to raise Kou to respect himself!"

Following Zhu Di's words, his gaze became more and more severe, and at this moment he became murderous.

This pressing gaze made Chen Ji feel numb.

Zhu Di continued: "They are self-respecting bandits. How many thieves and brigands will they breed, and how many good people will die under the thieves? Why are they so indulgent?"

"I gave them salaries and entrusted them with heavy responsibilities. With such kindness, I don't ask them all to be great talents like Guan Zhong and Le Yi. I only ask them to be responsible for guarding the land and to be loyal to their duties. Now even these, They can't even do it, but they are harboring evil intentions, why... are they planning to rebel?"

After all, Zhu Di looked at Chen Ji with a smile, but with this smile, Chen Ji felt like a mang on his back.

It turned out that these were tools to blackmail the court.

But now, it has become an excuse for a bloody storm.

It's ridiculous to say that it was Chen Ji who killed these comrades.

Zhu Di said: "Chen Qing is a doctor in the Ministry of War, so he should know what kind of crime this is. Then according to Chen Qing... how should I deal with it?"

Chen Ji was completely panicked, he said eagerly: "This... this... Your Majesty, I... I think... maybe... there is something wrong here..."

Zhu Di looked at him firmly: "There is no inside story? It was the Qing family who just invited these people to commit crimes. Now it is the Qing family who want to protect them. The Chen Qing family..."

Hearing this... Chen Ji already knew that the matter was irreversible, he clenched his fists and said immediately: "Your Majesty...I implore Your Majesty, dismiss them immediately and dismiss them from their official positions..."

Zhu Di laughed loudly, and then said: "Dismissed from office... um... such a person, of course, is not qualified to eat Junlu anymore. But..."

Having said that, Zhu Di paused, and Chen Ji felt his heart beating in his throat.

But Zhu Di said casually: "Everyone is punished, and one is counted as one. All the chief envoys, procuratorial envoys, and all commanders who are involved in this petition, who dare to speak falsely, order Jin Yiwei to take down and kill immediately. All the members of his clan were exiled for thousands of miles. People like this... let’s not say anything about their corpses, but just relying on a kidnapper to be self-respecting, I have not killed their three clans, it is already extraordinarily merciful..."

After Zhu Di said it lightly, the expressions of all the officials changed.

Chen Ji, in particular, was already paralyzed all over, and his fear reached an unbearable level.

Only these people... are dealt with so harshly, so... what about the others...

like myself...

At this moment, his psychological defense line suddenly collapsed at this moment, as if a dike had burst, and he could no longer support it. His feet were weak, and he lay down all of a sudden, with a pale face and trembling: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I will die... I will be guilty of death..."

Zhu Di condescendingly looked at Chen Ji, who was prostrate on the ground, and said with a half-smile: "Oh? The Qing family has made meritorious service in the prosecution, so why are you pleading guilty? If it wasn't for Chen Qing's performance, I still don't know that there are people who do this in the world. Kou Zizhong's eunuch, what crime did the Qing family commit?"

Zhu Di's few words made it impossible for everyone to guess his intentions.

At this time, Zhu Di's words not only did not calm Chen Ji, but made Chen Ji even more afraid.

This kind of fear permeates the whole body, like a pore, and one can't help but tremble.

He seemed to have realized something, and immediately kowtowed like garlic, saying: "I...the reason...the reason for this is because...because... I want to use the chief envoys and capitals...to blackmail His Highness the Crown Prince... Minister... this is ignorant of conscience, minister deserves to die!"

Seeing this, Zhang Anshi secretly applauded Chen Ji.

Chen Ji was definitely not stupid, he was simply brilliant.

At this time, for this sake, he immediately realized that the situation was out of his control, and trying to justify himself with a few other reasons was already a sophistry.

So if you confess your guilt decisively now, you might... risk a happy death.

Zhu Di curled his lips into a sneer, looked at Chen Ji and said, "Blackmail the court? Why... You learned to blackmail the court before I died?"

Chen Ji didn't think Zhu Di's words were humorous at all.

But when Zhang Anshi heard this, he couldn't help laughing, but he suddenly realized where he was, and quickly restrained his expression.

Chen Ji continued to knelt on the ground, lost his mind and said: "It's really... Really... It's because I ate lard and was deceived, and I was instigated by others!"

"who?"

Chen Ji said without hesitation: "The minister is the same year, Wang Suo, Shen Jianxing..."

In the hall, there were already two people who prostrated themselves on the ground with a thud, their faces were full of despair, and they cried out for death.

Zhu Di smiled and said, "What are they instigating you for?"

Chen Jidao: "Say this is a great opportunity, only in this way... can we..."

Before he finished speaking, Shen Jianxing rushed to say: "It's my minister who died, I really... so provoked, intending... intending... to use your majesty's great efforts... to facilitate King Song... no, His Royal Highness Wuhu County King As for the matter of the vassal...just...it's just that this is also the minister and the head of the Ministry of Punishment, Zhou Chang..."

Obviously... at this time, instead of asking Chen Ji to confess himself, it is better to confess others.

Seeing the ugly appearance of these people, Zhu Di couldn't help feeling disgusted.

And at this time, everyone knows that everyone who gets involved in this... I'm afraid that none of them will be spared.

For this sake, what did you say, what did you do in private, and what did you do with him? In fact, there is no need for Jin Yiwei to search for clues. I'm afraid...someone has already confessed.

At the beginning, I thought that Zhu Di had already achieved great success, so I couldn't help being quite courageous, but who knew...it would come to such a point.

At this moment, that Chen Ji exclaimed in surprise: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... the ministers are all dead... but this... all of this... is all because of... that edict is from Duke Jin..."

After hearing this, Zhu Di narrowed his eyes, with a half-smile on his face.

At this time, many people's eyes have begun to look at Jin Youzi.

That's right, if it wasn't for Jin Youzi...how could it be possible...to let everyone see the opportunity?

If you don't see this opportunity...then...

At this time, Jin Youzi finally bowed down and said, "My minister is dead..."

Yes, this is the culprit.

Zhu Di was expressionless, but ignored Jin Youzi, and continued to lower his head to look at Chen Ji, saying, "What's wrong with Jin Youzi?"

Chen Ji hurriedly said: "It's Duke Jin's Jiaozhao...it's him..."

Zhu Di said: "Really, how did he pretend?"

Chen Jidao: "He said... His Majesty's last words... No, no, no, in His Majesty's oral instructions, he once said: Zhang Anshi canonize the king of Song Dynasty, and he will conquer Xinzhou!"

Jin Youzi kowtowed silently to the ground without saying a word or defending himself.

At this time, Hu Guang... couldn't help letting out a sigh of relief, and felt a little relieved.

He really never expected that His Majesty would be able to jump again.

This naturally exceeded his expectations, but he couldn't help but think, Your Majesty...it's so sinister and disgusting, such a thing can be done.

Of course, he was quite proud of himself, Jin Youzi's fox tail was finally about to be exposed.

It's just... This feeling didn't last long.He looked at Jin Youzi who was silently kneeling in the hall, and unconsciously felt a little sympathy in his heart.

After all, this Jin Youzi is still confused for a while, but when you think about it carefully... a lifetime of studying, finally being named on the gold list, making it to the top, but finally being blinded by his own greed, and falling into today's end, it's really... a pity... a pity...

At this time, Zhu Di said, "Is this a coquettish edict? But how do I remember that at the beginning... I really said these words?"

As soon as these words came out, it was like a thunderbolt suddenly descending...the whole hall was shocked.

Everyone subconsciously opened their eyes slightly, and looked at Zhu Di in horror.

Zhu Di continued calmly, "However, I remember that when I was terminally ill, I really had no energy, so my breath was weak, and some people didn't hear it. It's understandable."

"..."

The hall fell into deathly silence again.

Jin Youzi still bowed to the ground, silent.

But the amount of information in Zhu Di's mouth is really too big, it has exceeded the cognition of many people.

Part of it has begun to wake up.

They suddenly understood...maybe all of this was...a conspiracy.

And the purpose of this conspiracy...

Many people just feel like a light is on their backs, and their bodies can't help shaking.

Zhu Di glanced at the crowd, seemed satisfied with their reactions, and said with a smile, "Misters, what else can I say? Come on... Let's talk together, raise the bandits to respect themselves, threaten the court, what else is there? I'm free today, let's take care of each one."

"..."

Seeing that the ministers were silent, Zhu Di continued leisurely as if strolling in the courtyard, "There are still some things... I'm afraid I didn't explain it... Why, are you all dumb?"

At this moment, Jin Youzi suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I have something to play."

Zhu Di looked at Jin Youzi, and only uttered one word: "Say!"

Jin Youzi said: "Liu Jin, the minister's wife and younger brother, in the name of the minister, discussed state affairs arbitrarily, colluded with many people, and was suspected of giving and receiving official positions privately, and even sold official positions at high prices. The gold and silver transactions involved are countless. The ministers involved...officials, gentry...are not in the minority."

"According to my preliminary estimate... From top to bottom, there are more than a thousand families involved in this matter. As for the money and food involved, there are countless! Such unhealthy trends have shaken the foundation of our Ming Dynasty. I implore Your Majesty to completely check."

"..."

Zhu Di turned his gaze, but looked at Zhang Anshi.

Zhang Anshi said at this time: "Your Majesty... the minister has already started to make arrangements early in the morning. All the people involved in the case mentioned by Duke Jin... should have started to be arrested one after another. Within twelve hours, I dare to guarantee that they will all be brought to justice."

"Okay!" Zhu Di was overjoyed, his face blushed, his whole body was full of energy and high spirits.
