Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 140
"Have you, gentlemen, thought about it?"

Zhu Youxiao stood up slowly, looked at the ministers gathered in front of him, and said in a sonorous tone: "First there were the two cases of Hongwan moving to the palace, and then there was the case of the Battle of Saarhu. They also attracted much attention and were equally controversial. Why did they do so later?" The latter can find out and finalize the case, but it is the former... but there is still no news?
Do you really think that Hong Chengchou is a loser?
I don’t know since when, the affairs of the palace have been interfered with by some people with ulterior motives, under the banner of the country, the country, and etiquette, and can be interfered by foreign courts at will. How ridiculous this is!

When you are seeking your position, that official robe and official hat you wear, who really has the world in mind?Hong Chengchou! ! ! "

"Chen is here!"

Hong Chengchou's voice sounded outside the hall.

Everything that happened in the Shicai Hall was heard by Hong Chengchou who was waiting outside. Some things had to be faced after all. Hong Chengchou was no longer worried and walked towards the hall with his head lowered. Wherever he looked with the corner of his eye, he stood in the courtroom. All the ministers lowered their heads and showed complicated expressions.

The atmosphere in the Wenhua Hall has changed.

Regret arose in the hearts of some people. Perhaps at the beginning, they should not have paid attention to the two cases of Hongwan's transfer to the palace. The emperor's attitude was enough to prove what Hong Chengchou had found out. The reason why he had not stated anything before was that There are many things to explore patiently.

"I... Hong Chengchou, a doctor in the Qing Dynasty Department of the Ministry of Punishment, pays homage to Your Majesty!"

Under various speculations, Hong Chengchou walked to the emperor, knelt down and worshiped the emperor with a serious expression, and said loudly.

"Excuse me."

Zhu Youxiao stood up with his hands behind his back, then glanced at the ministers in the palace and said in a cold tone: "If there is no conclusion on the two cases of Hongwan's moving to the palace, the government and the public will not be stable. Hong Qing, please give me the ironclad evidence of the two cases one by one. If anyone has any doubts, provide facts and evidence so that they can know the truth."

"The minister obeys the order."

Hong Chengchou kowtowed and worshiped again.

Hong Chengchou knows better than anyone that the moment of decision has come. Today's performance in the Wenhua Hall will not only affect his future career, but also the fate of the Hong family.

When it comes to political parties, half-heartedness is the most taboo. Whoever wants to be a walleye and jump left and right to grab benefits will die the worst!
"Brother Jian."

"The younger brother is here."

When Hong Chengchou lifted up his robe and stood up, and when the gathered ministers were thinking in different ways, Zhu Youxiao stepped down on Danbi, and Zhu Youjian, who was called, bowed respectfully.

"Come out with me for a walk."

Zhu Youxiao walked forward with his hands behind his back, looking at the hall in front of him, half-smiling but not smiling: "It's not dark outside yet, why do I think it's so dark inside the hall? Haha~"

"My brother obeys the order."

The emperor's pointed words made many people feel uneasy, which made some people firmly believe that the truth found out in the two cases of Hongwan's transfer to the palace, I'm afraid...

"The two cases that His Majesty designated as the Red Case and moved to the palace involve the Hongwan case. It has been found that it is a long-planned murder..."

And just when everyone was thinking, Hong Chengchou's sonorous voice suddenly sounded, and just this word made the faces of everyone present change drastically.

Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, Han Xu, Zhang Weixian, Sun Ruyou, all looked at Hong Chengchou in disbelief. Although in their hearts, they more or less guessed something, the more they guessed, the more they understood. The more they prayed in their hearts, hoping that this was not true.

Premeditated regicide!

This is such an exciting thing.

When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he did not stop and continued walking outside the hall. However, he felt approval in his heart. Hong Chengchou pointed out the key points so straightforwardly to show his attitude and tear apart some hypocrisy. , this is exactly what Zhu Youxiao wants to see.

Those who can deal with civil servants will always be civil servants!

The worst thing about the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is that it is ambiguous on some things out of certain taboos. Although this kind of deception is said to be an attempt to avoid the important and minimize the so-called influence, it has also been exploited by some people with ulterior motives. Then it affects the atmosphere.

It is this status quo that Zhu Youxiao wants to break!
How ridiculous is it to act and stand at the same time?
The cold wind was howling. When Zhu Youxiao walked out of the hall, he felt a chill coming over him. He looked up at the blue sky and felt very relaxed.

"Hong Chengchou!! Do you know what impact what I just said will have on the country if it is really spread? What impact will it have on the Tian family?"

"Mr. Liu Ge, of course I know this. I am trusted by His Majesty and personally tried the two cases of Hong Wan's transfer to the palace. I am trembling day and night for fear of betraying His grace..."

Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to the sound coming from behind. Instead, it was Zhu Youjian who was standing next to him, but his mood was a little wrong at the moment.

"Brother Emperor, was Huang Kao really murdered?"

Zhu Youjian's eyes were red, and he looked up at his royal brother. Although he had not felt much care since he was a child, he was his father after all. Knowing such cruel truth, Zhu Youjian would inevitably lose his temper.

"You should have guessed something when I led you to find the Zheng family." Zhu Youxiao said in a cold tone as he walked forward with his feet up, expressionless.

Yes.

Zhu Youjian followed behind him absently, thinking of all the previous events and Concubine Zheng's performance, Zhu Youjian still can't forget it.

"I'll tell you the truth."

Looking at the absent-minded Zhu Youjian, Zhu Youxiao said calmly: "Why are those outsiders jumping so much about Huang Kao's murder? Do they really care about this case? The most sad thing in the world is I, it’s you, but why do some people throw dirty water on me?”

"They are all damned people!!"

Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth and said: "Foreign ministers should not interfere or interfere with the affairs of the royal palace. However, since the emperor's imperial examination, the inner court has no rules, and everyone intervenes at every turn. They all have dirty minds. If you want to make profits from it, then the bad guys have an opportunity to take advantage of it!"

Still somewhat smart.

Zhu Youxiao remained unchanged on the surface, but he felt deep down in his heart that the death of Emperor Guangzong was the inevitable result of multiple coincidences and hidden conspiracies.

A person who has been in a state of tension all year round, especially at the psychological level, suddenly relaxes and gains status and power that ordinary people cannot imagine, will inevitably have an impact on the body. In the Ming Dynasty, when people's hearts were unstable during this period, it would also If some people are allowed to have thoughts they shouldn't have, then tragedy is bound to happen.

"Brother Jian, you have to keep one thing in mind."

Zhu Youxiao said with a sad expression: "Only the human heart in this world is the least able to withstand temptation. Everything in the world is prosperous because of profit. When there are more people, thoughts will become complicated. If you don't have a tough heart and a heart that can distinguish right from wrong. , then you will be affected.”

"My dear brother, I will keep this in mind."

Zhu Youjian stopped, lifted his robe and bowed to his royal brother, "Brother Huang's love and care for my brother, I will never forget it in this life!"

"Stand up for me."

Zhu Youxiao frowned slightly and looked down at Zhu Youjian, "My Zhu family man's knees have not softened to this point yet. This world was passed down by the ancestors of the Huangming Dynasty. I want to govern it well, but you... Whether you can help me or not depends on you."

"My brother understands."

Zhu Youjian stood up stubbornly and said.

"This is how a son of the Zhu family should behave."

Zhu Youxiao praised happily, then turned around and looked at Wang Tiqian and others who were following closely. At this moment, they all lowered their heads in fear.

Before leaving the Wenhua Hall, they heard what Hong Chengchou said word for word. As eunuchs and eunuchs of the inner court, how could they not be afraid of such shocking things.

"Wang Tigan."

"The servant is here."

Wang Tiqian, who was named by the emperor, knelt down with his head on the ground.

"Go to the Meridian Gate to pass on my oral instructions. Along with the personal guards who are on duty at the Meridian Gate, Yang Lian, Zuo Guangdou and his entourage will be arrested and moved to the imperial edict."

"The slaves obey the order."

"Royal brother, you also go to the Meridian Gate."

Ignoring Wang Tiqian, Zhu Youxiao turned around and said to Zhu Youjian: "Give Yang Lian a hard slap on his face and ask him if he is worthy of Huang Kao's trust."

"Your brother obeys the order!"

Zhu Youjian said with firm eyes.

Since it is a political farce, none of the guys jumping in front can even think of running away. With the two cases of Hongwan moving to the palace confirmed, even if Zhu Youxiao kills Yang Lian and the others, no one will dare to jump out and say more. Any sentence.

But Zhu Youxiao didn't plan to kill them all.

At least Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou couldn't be killed.

One is a fighter and the other is proficient in water conservancy. These are two knives. If he can control their lives and ask them to inspect the river administration, Zhu Youxiao can catch a group of rats and take advantage of the rotten river administration. Their corrupt money is used to restructure the fragile river government!
If the smelly stones in the latrines like Yang Lian were used in the right place, they could kill a group of people. They hate evil as much as they hate it, right?Then hate evil as much as you hate it! !
