Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 451 means that my status is higher than yours and I have more money than you (please subscribe!!)
now.

Whether it was the middle faction or the officials of the Huaixi Party, the way they looked at Ouyang Lun had changed in some way.

Ouyang Lun!
He is the emperor's consort of the Ming Dynasty, that is, a relative of the emperor. Then he is not only the clan official of the clan, but also the minister of the Ministry of household affairs. He is in charge of the royal family and the money bag of the Ming Dynasty with one hand. With such a status, it can be said that he is Power reigns supreme!
In addition, Ouyang Lun now leads the most important policy policy of the Ming Dynasty-the first five-year plan.

Through this plan, the Hubu's status in the Ming Dynasty far exceeded that of the other five ministries.

If it were just the above, everyone would just think that Ouyang Lun had greater control over him and was not a treacherous or powerful minister.

But just now, Ouyang Lun dealt with Li Dongyang ruthlessly, and now even the Jin Yiwei has to listen to Ouyang Lun. It seems that Ouyang Lun is really an excellent treacherous and powerful minister!

For a time, all the civil and military officials in the court had different views on Ouyang Lun. One was naturally wary of hostility and did not dare to look at Ouyang Lun and left in a hurry. The other was extremely flattering and surrounded him directly.

"Prince-in-law, what you did in the Tai Chi Palace just now was deafening! I must be supporting you!"

"Prince-in-law, things have reached this point, we must not give up easily, otherwise we will continue to retreat and compromise, and then the real big problem will be!"

"That's right, people like Li Dongyang are simply the cancer of our Ming Dynasty. Without them, our Ming Dynasty will definitely be better!"

When those ministers who regarded themselves as upright and good officials saw this scene, they shook their heads in sorrow and anger.

Ouyang Lun smiled again, and at the same time reached out and patted Zhu Biao on the shoulder, "My brother-in-law, the prince, you haven't seen it yet! Your father needs a treacherous minister right now!"

Zhu Biao asked.

"We were really careless. We originally thought that Ouyang Lun was a capable minister sent by God, but now he has finally revealed his true colors!"

"Are you labeling people anytime and anywhere? There are traitors and capable ministers. I just do what I think is right!"

"Shhh! Keep your voice down. Now that Ouyang Lun is in power, we can't compete with him at all. Let's go down and discuss it."

Soon, the civil and military ministers in Taiji Hall left one after another.

Who is Ouyang Lun! ?
This made Zhu Biao a little confused.

Zhu Biao continued: "But brother-in-law Ouyang, since you don't think you are a traitor, then why didn't you explain when my father said you were a traitor and a powerful official just now?"

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, wait!"

"Prince, uncle, if you don't say anything, I'll think you're fine, then I have to go!"

Now it seems that his understanding of Ouyang Lun is still too shallow.

The emperor's order is issued and the royal guards execute it.

"Any other questions?"

Zhu Biao didn't speak, just looked at Ouyang Lun blankly.

"Pfft -" Ouyang Lun laughed directly when he heard Zhu Biao asked this question, "Brother Prince, I don't have any special hobbies, why do I want to be a treacherous and powerful minister? What good does this do to me? "

After saying that, Ouyang Lun left with his hands behind his back.

Ouyang Lun was quite helpless as he looked at the officials who were constantly flattering him.

"Since you don't want to be a treacherous and powerful official, why do you insist on torturing Li Dongyang again and again? You also want to send all the students and Confucian scholars who gathered to protest to the northern Xinjiang construction site to work as coolies? Aren't these the actions of a treacherous official?!" Zhu Biao asked loudly.

"This matter, let's ride on a donkey and watch the show, we'll see!"

It seems that he will not be able to take off his label as a traitorous and powerful minister in a short time.

Ah!
Hearing Ouyang Lun's words, Zhu Biao was stunned.

Ouyang Lun said.

"But there are benefits to being a treacherous and powerful minister. If anyone messes with me, I will kill him!"

After saying that, when Ouyang Lun saw Zhu Biao still standing there in a daze, he stopped caring and turned around to leave.

"Brother Prince, if you have anything to say, just tell me."

Zhu Biao did not leave, but looked at Ouyang Lun with a complicated expression. Zhu Biao was very puzzled by what Ouyang Lun said and did in the hall today. In his mind, even though Ouyang Lun was not a virtuous person, he was He is definitely a virtuous person, definitely not so cruel, let alone a treacherous or powerful minister!
But what he saw was that Ouyang Lun was no different from a treacherous and powerful official. Even his father, Zhu Yuanzhang, nodded and confirmed that Ouyang Lun was a treacherous and powerful official.

"Brother-in-law Ouyang, do you really plan to become a treacherous and powerful minister?" Zhu Biao asked seriously.

"Hmph! Ouyang, the traitorous minister, deceived Your Majesty, controlled the affairs of the court, and harmed loyal and righteous people. Everyone can punish him!"

Ouyang Lun shook his head helplessly, "I'm really convinced. I've done so many good things before, and you praised me as a capable minister and a good official. But now I just used Chongdian, and you guys are calling me a traitor in troubled times." "

Ouyang Lun looked at Zhu Biao above and asked with a smile.

"This Ouyang Lunguo is really a traitor!"

"Brother Prince, if you don't leave, are you waiting for me?"

"Get out of here!"

"Okay, I have to answer what you have to answer. I have to go back and rest every day. Being an official is really tiring! Being a treacherous and powerful minister is even more tiring!"

"Then how will we deal with Li Dongyang and those students and scholars next? Is there really no room for maneuver at all? If we do this, I'm afraid there will be big trouble in the future!"

When Ouyang Lun was about to turn around and leave, Zhu Biao finally called out to Ouyang Lun.

Following Ouyang Lun's roar, the flattering officials surrounding him did not dare to delay at all and ran very fast one by one.

"The Prince Consort is domineering!"

"As expected of the prince-in-law, he is always so elegant when he is angry!"

Zhu Biao knew very well that letting the Jinyiwei forcefully suppress those students and Confucian scholars would most likely cause many tragedies, and would also trigger a new wave of protests and even resistance!
By that time, the situation will definitely become increasingly difficult to handle, and the impact on the future of Ming Dynasty will undoubtedly be far-reaching.

On that day, all the imperial guards in the capital were sent out. Since there was not enough manpower, the imperial guards, government officials, and criminal officials from the capital were also transferred. A large-scale arrest began in the capital.

All students and Confucian scholars who had something to do with Li Dongyang and participated in the protest rally, as well as other people related to this incident, were all arrested.

Tens of thousands of people were arrested.

Dozens of them, including Li Dongyang, were given poisoned wine, their limbs were broken, and they could no longer speak or write. After their identities were confirmed, the remaining Confucian scholars and students were all escorted to the construction site in northern Xinjiang. The escort team stretched for several miles. , these Confucian students were covered in blood, wearing single clothes, and tied together with a rope.
Snapped--

A whip struck down.

"Take your time, walk faster. At your speed, when will we reach Northern Xinjiang!" "You scholars, you don't cherish the opportunity to study, and you insist on running to make trouble. Now it's better, and you have a bright future." destroyed!"

“I don’t even think about it, what can you, the powerless scholars, do to overturn it?”

"There is an old saying that goes, it will take ten years for a scholar to rebel!"

"Consort Ouyang manages Daming so well, why do you have to have trouble with him?"

"You just have never experienced hardship. You all have thin skin and tender flesh. You have had too many good days and you don't even know what hard days are."

Li Dongyang and other great scholars of the time were publicly poisoned, their limbs were broken, and student Confucian students were sent to work in northern Xinjiang. All these were seen by the remaining students and Confucian scholars.

They did not dare to act immediately. On the one hand, the court's thunderous action really shocked them. On the other hand, these students and Confucian scholars also knew very well that if they wanted to make a comeback, they must have a more complete plan, otherwise Their fate will be like Li Dongyang's, either being poisoned to mute, having their limbs broken, or being sent to a construction site in northern Xinjiang.

Suddenly, the capital began to have an undercurrent.

After Zhu Yuanzhang went to court, he returned to the Hall of Supreme Harmony and kept thinking.

"Wang Zhong, do you think I was too impulsive this time?"

"If those great scholars of the world were directly mutilated and even had their limbs broken, how would the people of the world view me? Will they call me a tyrant?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry at all. Didn't you say that Ouyang Prince Consort is a truly treacherous and powerful official, and these plans were also proposed by Ouyang Prince Consort. Those who want to settle accounts will also blame Ouyang Prince Consort." Wang Zhong said slowly. .

Hearing Wang Zhong's words, Zhu Yuanzhang showed a proud smile, "Wang Zhong, you still understand me!"

"That Li Dongyang is so bold. He dared to call me a coward and tyrant. If this had happened in the past, I would have killed him long ago. Even if I didn't kill him in front of him, I would never let him get out of the prison alive!"

"But he said something right. He called Ouyang Lun a treacherous and powerful official. This is very good. From now on, Ouyang Lun will always take the blame, and it will be the same this time!"

"It's just that this time is a test of Ouyang Lun's ability. If he can't handle it well, I will have to come out to clean up the mess in the end. I hope Ouyang Lun won't let me down this time."

"Where's Ji Gang?"

"Your Majesty, Mr. Ji is arresting those scholars and students according to your order." Wang Zhong replied.

"What do you mean by following my orders? If you can't speak, you are clearly following Ouyang Lun's orders. Ouyang Lun is the one who is mainly responsible!" Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Yes, Jinyiwei followed Ouyang's orders to attack those great scholars." Wang Zhong nodded repeatedly.

"Send a message to Ji Gang and ask him to listen carefully to Ouyang Lun and implement things in place. In addition, he should keep an eye on Ouyang Lun and report any trouble to me as soon as possible!" Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly. .

"Yes, I will do it now." Wang Zhong bowed and quickly withdrew.

As soon as Ouyang Lun returned to the clan's mansion, Ji Gang ran over.

"Prince-in-law!"

"Commander Ji, why did you come to me if you didn't lead your men to arrest those guilty scholars and students?"

"Let me make it clear first, I am not harboring criminals here. If you don't believe me, you can do some searching."

Seeing Ji Gang, Ouyang Lun couldn't help but tease him.

"Prince-in-law, I have asked the people below to do the specific things. I came to the clan mansion to ask for advice." Ji Gang bowed respectfully to Ouyang Lun.

"Subordinate? Bye-bye, Commander Ji, although I have a higher rank and status than you, and of course I have more money than you, but we have never been in a superior-subordinate relationship. As you are called a subordinate, I It’s a bit too much!”

Ouyang Lun shook his head repeatedly.

"Prince-in-law, please don't be humble. When the court dismissed in the morning, His Majesty gave me an order, asking my subordinates to assist the prince-in-law in handling matters! The entire royal guards are at the disposal of the prince-in-law, and you are naturally my subordinate. boss!"

Ji Gang said.

"Ji Gang, you can do it! You are getting better and better at talking now." Ouyang Lun said with a smile: "Tell me, what happened to you, why did you come to me specifically? You don't just want to get closer to us, right? "

"Hehe, I really can't hide anything from my consort!" Ji Gang showed a hint of embarrassment. "My subordinate came to the Prince Consort because he wanted to ask: Do you really want to be so cruel to those great scholars and students?"

"Of course, this was decided in the Taiji Palace, and it was ordered by His Majesty the Emperor himself. What? Do you want to resist the order?" Ouyang Lun asked back, leaving Ji Gang stunned in place.

"The prince consort has misunderstood. Naturally, my subordinates and subordinates must strictly implement this!" Ji Gang said quickly, hugging his chest.

"That's right, you Jin Yiwei just need to arrest people honestly!" Ouyang Lun said calmly.

"Yes!" Hearing Ji Gang's firm words, he felt a little relieved.

"Now that you understand, why don't you hurry up and get to work? Do you still want to stay at my place for lunch?!" Ouyang Lun said angrily.

"Oh!" Ji Gang suddenly reacted, "My subordinates say goodbye."

"Wait!" Ouyang Lun called Ji Gang.

"Prince-in-law, do you have any other instructions?" Ji Gang quickly turned around and asked.

"Do you have any news about Azuna?"

"Mrs. Azuna?" Ji Gang slowly shook his head, "Back to the Prince Consort, my subordinates have sent out the most elite members of the Imperial Guard to look for her, but there is no news yet!"

"Damn it, what do you Jin Yiwei do for a living? You swore to me at the beginning that you were experts in finding people, but what happened? It has been several days and there is no news at all. How can you expect me to trust your abilities? "

Ouyang Lun scolded and rolled his eyes.

"Prince-in-law, please give me some more time, and I will definitely find Mrs. Azuna!" Ji Gang also looked embarrassed. It's not that he didn't pay attention to finding someone, but that he really arranged for the most elite men to find him. , but still couldn’t find it, and I was somewhat slapped in the face.

"Okay! I'll give you three more days. If we can't find Azuna, we won't cooperate in the future. The cooperation I'm talking about is commercial cooperation. I have already acquired most of the Royal Grilled Fish and Jinyi Fried Chicken. If you make me unhappy, I will let you Jinyiwei drink the northwest wind!"

Ouyang Lun said angrily.

This time he was really angry.

He was not so angry when Jiang Wei threatened him.

"No! Prince Consort, if you take away these two companies, how can we still live!" Ji Gang almost wailed.
