Daming: The most ruthless tyrant in history

Chapter 91
"My lord~"

In the Dongnuan Pavilion, Wang Tiqian held a tea cup, lowered his head and walked to the Arhat's bed. He said with a respectful expression: "Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun of the North Town Fu Si want to see you."

When he reported the situation, Wang Tiqian carefully put down the tea cup.

"Xuan."

Zhu Youxiao was in a bad mood. He frowned and stared at the memorial in his hand. There were many memorials on the imperial court, involving Fu Fan's entry into the capital, request for internal funds, abolition of factory guards, suspension of the Beijing camp and other matters. Among them, the request to summon Ye Xianggao's joint memorial to Beijing alerted Zhu Youxiao.

It will come eventually.

Regarding the primary and secondary conflicts at this stage, Zhu Youxiao consciously moved from the court to Liaodong to prepare for next year's Liaozuo War. He did not want to pay too much attention to the outer court. He was just a group of civil servants in the court, but he did not know that Zhu Youxiao According to the ideas of the school, they must follow their rhythm and methods to strive for their own political leadership.

It must be shocking.

Zhu Youxiao joined the memorial, his eyes became sharp, blindly taking cold treatment will only make some people feel that they are weak and can be bullied!

"Your Majesty...Tian Ergeng, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty...Xu Xianchun, I would like to pay my respects to Your Majesty."

The two people who came to the imperial palace for the first time were inevitably nervous. As soon as they entered Dongnuan Pavilion, they knelt down and worshiped, trying to gain a good impression on the emperor.

"How are the interrogations of the internal officials, corrupt officials, evil gentry, and profiteers who were arrested and sent to the imperial edict?" Zhu Youxiao sat cross-legged on the Arhat bed, picked up the tea cup at hand, and glanced at the two of them, "Zheng Yangxing... How are the interrogations of the criminals Hui Shiyang, Zhang Wenda, and Zhang Po going?"

"Your Majesty... all the prisoners involved in the investigation of Huangzhuang Huangdian have been interrogated."

Tian Ergen knelt on the ground, held up a memorial and held it up high: "Those prisoners have all confessed truthfully. The eunuchs and eunuchs assigned by the inner court and outside the court have been collaborating with similar corrupt officials, evil gentry and profiteers in various places. The local government invaded Huangzhuang Huangdian, forced good girls into prostitution, and bullied and dominated the market..."

When Tian Ergeng reported it, Wang Tiqian walked forward with his head down, took the memorial, then turned around holding the memorial in both hands, walked to the front of the imperial court, and presented it to Zhu Youxiao.

"It's really good enough."

Zhu Youxiao became more and more angry when he read the memorandum submitted by Yulan Tian Ergeng, "There are as many as 79 local officials who were arrested and sent to the imperial prison. The magistrates of the county, as well as the magistrates and masters of the county, how dare they! Holding official salaries and eating imperial food, they are supposed to manage the place well for the court. If I don’t kill them, I will be furious!”

Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun knelt on the ground, not daring to say anything else at all. They just investigated the matter of Huangzhuang Huangdian. Arresting a group of people in a short time, this matter has long been boiling between the government and the opposition.

At present, there are more than a hundred memorials to impeach the factory guards every day. If they are all submitted to the imperial court, the pile of memorials on Zhu Youxiao's imperial case will be full.

"Your Majesty... Hui Shiyang has confessed."

Seeing that the emperor was silent, Xu Xianchun hesitated for a moment, picked up the memorial and reported: "He did break into the inner court without permission before, and he was under the cover of Wang An, the eunuch of Quan. In addition, Zhang Wenda, Zhang Po and his party were at the Meridian Gate before. The purpose of this remonstration is to intimidate His Majesty, and this is a delusional thought..."

Even though Zhu Youxiao didn't know much about how the two vicious dogs Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun used to interrogate him in the prison, he could imagine it. However, for Zhu Youxiao, the result was Just do it, the process is not important.

It would definitely not work if Luo Sigong was in charge of Jinyiwei alone. There must be internal checks and balances. The factory guard is Zhu Youxiao's eyes and ears. He needs to know more about the real situation, rather than deliberately screened information or information barriers. Zhu Youxiao will never allow this to happen.

The factory guard is a double-edged sword. If used well, it can intimidate Xiao Xiao and then defend the imperial power. If used improperly, it will intensify party strife and lead to political persecution. "Have the prison accepted any new prisoners in the past few days?" Zhu Youxiao pondered for a moment, without looking at Tian Ergen and the others, and said in an indifferent tone.

"Accepted...accepted."

Tian Ergeng said hurriedly: "Wei Governor and Commander Luo have arrived at the Hejian Prefecture. Eunuch Li is in charge of the three guards of Tianjin, and has transferred the arrested prisoners to Beijing in batches and sent them to prison..."

"In that case, let's kill him!"

Zhu Youxiao lifted up his robe and looked down at Tian Ergeng and Xu Xianchun, "Concisely transcribed the interrogation files and sent them to the Imperial College for a copy, and Xu Guangqi published the first issue of Huangming Times, which included Hui Shiyang and Zhang Wen. The crimes of Da, Zhang Po and others were announced, and the prisoners arrested in the investigation of Huangzhuang Huangdian were announced.

From tomorrow onwards, you two will personally lead the imperial guards in Beijing to escort the prisoners in the imperial prison in batches and go to the West City for execution. They will all be punished by me. Since they are lawless, I will punish them according to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!

Anyone who dares to attack the execution ground during this period will be arrested by me!

In addition, the group of corrupt officials, evil gentry and profiteers involved in the local area were handed over to Liu Ruoyu, who ordered him to lead a team to search their properties, arrest all three of them, and transport them to various palaces to atone for their sins. "

"Your Majesty...do you want to kill them all?"

Tian Ergen was horrified, sweat broke out on his forehead, and he knelt down and said: "There are hundreds of prisoners escorted in the imperial prison..."

"Didn't you hear what I said clearly?"

Zhu Youxiao interrupted indifferently, "Do you need me to reiterate it to you?"

"I dare not!"

Tian Ergeng didn't dare to speak too much, he grabbed his head and said: "The minister will definitely act according to the order, and all these lawless criminals will be sentenced to death."

As beings who parachuted into Jinyiwei, Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun did not have a strong foundation in Jinyiwei. Unless the emperor had given orders, they would not be able to stand firmly in Beizhen Fusi. This is because Luo Sigong did not stay in the capital. , how could they establish prestige in Jinyiwei without the emperor's trust and reliance.

"Go on errands."

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Later, the Supervisory Committee of the Ceremony will condemn people to Jinyiwei, and issue a decree to read out the matter. I will only give you one chance. If the errand can be done well, I will not be stingy with rewards, but If you fail in your errand, then you will never enter the capital again in this life."

"The minister waits for the order!"

The two immediately shouted.

Sometimes raising a few vicious dogs can also have corresponding effects.

Seeing the two people leaving, the corners of Zhu Youxiao's mouth turned up slightly. If people like Tian Ergen and Xu Xianchun who were keen on power could be driven well, they wouldn't have to deal with the civil servants themselves. They could rely on them to deal with them. Things have been done well, it's time for the civil servants of the foreign dynasty to use their brains and blood to wake them up.
