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

Chapter 455: Appearing with a big loudspeaker (please subscribe!!)
Outside the palace.

The leading Confucian scholar said: "Master Song, you are also an old minister of the Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty is stupid and reuses the treacherous minister Ouyang Lun, and harms Li Dongyang and other loyal people. We are here to protest today. I hope your Majesty can wake up and eradicate the treacherous minister Ouyang Lun, and do it for us." The Confucian scholar’s ​​name will be rectified, and the Ming Dynasty will be restored to a bright future!”

Then another Confucian scholar stood up and said, "My lords, you are all well-read poems and sages. After all, you are also Confucian scholars. Our Confucian culture is broad and profound, and Confucianism is a good way to govern the country!"

"I believe you can understand how we feel at this moment!"

"Please, my lords, join us in protesting!"

Swish--

As these words fell, the protesting Confucian scholars moved closer to the gate of the palace.

This shocked all the ministers, including Song Lian, and also frightened the imperial guards guarding the imperial palace to quickly close the palace gate.

"Come on, hurry up and tell His Majesty!"

Song Lian and other officials quickly headed towards Tai Chi Hall.

Many officials advised.

"Your Majesty, please give me and other Confucian scholars justice!"

"Your Majesty is here!"

After saying that, Zhu Yuanzhang stood up from the dragon chair and walked out of the Tai Chi Hall first.

After hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words, no one dared to dissuade him. They could only follow Zhu Yuanzhang to the outside of the palace.

As Wang Zhong's voice sounded, Zhu Yuanzhang also appeared in everyone's sight.

"I pay my respects to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty! Long live Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, please wake up!"

"Your Majesty, Li Dongyang and other gentlemen are unjustly accused. They are not criminals, but loyal people!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "If you are afraid, you can stay here and there is no need to follow!"

"My dear friends, please come with me and have a look!"

"Nonsense. When I faced the Yuan army, I was not afraid at all. How can I be afraid of some Confucian scholars who have no power to restrain a chicken?"

"Your Majesty, please slow down. Those protesting Confucian scholars are very agitated now. You have to stay away from them!"

All civil and military officials saluted.

Tai Chi Hall.

As the officials lined up, Zhu Yuanzhang slowly walked out.

"Your Majesty, the consort Ouyang Lun has monopolized the affairs of the court and framed loyal people. He should be punished!"

"His Majesty is here!"

"Your Majesty, let's just go to the palace tower. It's too dangerous to go out directly!"

When all the civil and military officials saw that the emperor had left, of course they immediately followed him.

After listening to the descriptions of Song Lian and other officials, Zhu Yuanzhang made a decision.

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang coming out, the protesting Confucian scholars became more excited and shouted one after another.

Hearing these shouts and words, Zhu Yuanzhang's face was quite ugly.

"Shut up, everyone!"

"Li Dongyang and others made arrogant comments about the government and insulted me in front of all the civil and military officials! Cursing the Ming Dynasty to destroy them is a crime worthy of death and genocide! Just punishing them is already a mercy!"

"Hmph! It seems that I am too kind to Li Dongyang and the others, so I let you be so unscrupulous and lawless!"

Although Zhu Yuanzhang was over sixty years old, his body was still strong and his voice was quite loud. He could overwhelm these protesting Confucian scholars with just a few words.

The protesting Confucian scholars fell into a brief silence, and the civil and military officials did not dare to speak. The originally noisy palace suddenly became quiet.

At this time, a louder voice sounded from the city wall.

"Your Majesty, my son-in-law has something to say!"

The loud voice resounded like thunder.

Swish--

Everyone looked in the direction from which the sound came, and saw a large loudspeaker appearing on the wall of the palace, and behind the loudspeaker stood a figure. This person was none other than the consort Ouyang Lun!
Civil and military officials: "It's Ouyang's consort!!"

Protested against the Confucian scholar: "He is the treacherous minister Ouyang Lun!!"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "What does Ouyang Lun want to do?"

"Say it!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said unhappily.

In fact, Zhu Yuanzhang had been guessing in what way Ouyang Lun would appear. He never expected that it would be in this way. Although he was very unhappy with Ouyang Lun showing up in such a pretentious manner, he had to say that the speaker was really loud. The effect is also very good.

After waiting, Ouyang Lun will have to make one for him. Then it will be very easy to speak to the army.

Just when Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking freely, Ouyang Lun had already spoken to the speaker.

"If you want to survive, I have a way!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone from Zhu Yuanzhang to the protesting Confucian scholars looked at Ouyang Lun with expectant and curious eyes.

"What method will this boy use to deal with these Confucian scholars?" Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Idiots, you are just looking for trouble! Do you think it is just to do this? Do you think you are very powerful? In fact, in my opinion, you are just stupid, very stupid!" Ouyang Lun continued: "This man You just can’t be idle, you have to do things when you are idle, except for people like me who are beyond the Three Realms and are no longer among the Five Elements!”

"So the solution to your problem is very simple, that is to find something for you to do!"

"Next, the imperial court will build many new schools, so you can become teachers!"

(Extra by Zhou Zhen, Minister of the Ministry of Justice)
dark night.

The moonlight shines down.

A cold wind blew.

Zhou Zhen trembled and woke up from his drowsiness, but he did not dare to sit up because there was someone sitting next to him.

It's the kidnappers who took me away!
Not only that, there were several people like him lying next to Zhou Zhen, who seemed to be in a coma and had their hands and feet tied.

At this time, a voice came.

"Brother, this business of arresting people is really getting harder and harder now!"

"Isn't that right? The security in Beizhili is getting better and better, and it is easy for the government to find out if someone is kidnapped."

"In the past, even if the government knew about it, they would not send too many people to investigate. They would just report a missing person. Now if the government officials in Beizhili discover that someone is missing, they will investigate like crazy. I really don't know what they are thinking. , It’s just a job to support the family, is it so hard?”

"Hey, I heard that of the four or five families who entered North Zhili to kidnap people this time, only one or two of us were able to successfully escape back to the grassland."

"I seem to have inquired about this matter. The Beizhili government officials have also implemented a merit system. They are first-class merit, second-class merit, third-class merit, etc. As long as we are caught, we can get third-class merit."

"Credit? What's the point? It's nothing more than a reward of some money, and it will be deducted layer by layer. There won't be much left in the hands of the government servants who handle the work."

"You are wrong. I heard that this third-class merit is very precious. The bonus alone is thousands of taels. It is distributed by the chief official of the state personally. No one dares to deduct it. And with this third-class merit You can directly obtain the status of a civil servant. It is said that this civil servant status is similar to that of a court official, and you can also be promoted. In the future, it is not a bad idea to become a first-class official in the court! "

"Damn it! You can get so many benefits if you get third-class merit! I really want to surrender myself!"

"Goodbye. Ouyang Lun, the man in charge of Peking, is a living hell. If we fall into his hands, our lives will be over. But I heard that if we surrender, the sentence will be lighter."

"Brother, should we surrender?"

"You're stupid! We all escaped and you ran back to surrender?"

"Yes Yes."

Listening to the discussion of these kidnappers, Zhou Zhen sneered at these words.

Ouyang Lun is clearly a corrupt official, and he is also trying to become a traitor to the King of Peking. How could such a despicable person do such good things?

Zhou Zhen thought for a moment, then looked at the people around him who had their hands and feet bound like him, and made a decision in his heart.

Based on the words of these kidnappers, they are now on the grassland. It is estimated that the next step is to sell these people to the tribes on the grassland as slaves.

Do not!
I would never let such a thing happen.

He still wants to bring Ouyang Lun to justice, and His Majesty is still waiting for him to return to the capital to return to his life.

As a result, Zhou Zhen struggled to stand up, but because his hands and feet were tied, Zhou Zhen failed the first time, but succeeded in standing up the second time.

Of course, this naturally attracted the attention of the kidnappers.

"You guys, please listen to me. I am Zhou Zhen, the Minister of Punishment of the Ming Dynasty. I came to Beizhili to investigate Ouyang Lun on the order of the emperor!"

"If you release me and escort me back to the Ming Dynasty, you will definitely accomplish a great feat!"

"If you persist in your persistence, you will only sink deeper and deeper into trouble, and you will never be able to look back."

"Untie me immediately!"

Snapped--!
As soon as Zhou Zhen finished speaking, one of the kidnappers came up to him and gave him a slap in the face.

He hit Zhou Zhen so hard that he couldn't stand anymore and fell to the ground.

"Damn it, are you still the Minister of the Ministry of Justice? I'm still the Prime Minister!"

"Be honest with me, otherwise I won't mind selling you like a two-legged mutton!"

Zhou Zhen covered his slapped cheek and endured the burning pain and asked, "May I ask what a mutton with two legs is?"

Hearing Zhou Zhen's question, the kidnappers burst into laughter.

Then one of them pointed at the sizzling barbecue on the fire rack and said, "Open your eyes and see clearly, that is the two-legged mutton!"

Um! ?

Zhou Zhen looked intently at the barbecue, and the fear in his eyes deepened. At first glance, the curled outline of the barbecue was similar to that of an ordinary roast lamb, with the head removed. But if you look carefully, you can see that
That is
Well.
After confirming his suspicion, Zhou Zhen couldn't help but vomit.

Seeing Zhou Zhen's appearance, the kidnappers laughed even more crazily. Coupled with the ferocious faces of several of them, they were human beings here and there, clearly demons from hell!

Zhou Zhen was so frightened that he became incontinent, his whole body was shaking, and he no longer had the same momentum as before.

The kidnapper knelt down and patted Zhou Zhen on the head, "Don't worry, you are a bit old. Being a two-legged mutton is not the best choice. As long as you are obedient, we will not eat you."

"Yeah." Zhou Zhen nodded repeatedly, not daring to resist at all.

At this time, the kidnapper leader also came over, "Actually, I liked the way you were standing and talking just now. For a moment, I really thought I had captured the Minister of Justice of the Ming Dynasty. He was a first-rank official! I didn't know this What should the double-legged mutton taste like when it is roasted by a high-ranking official?"

"No, no, I am not the Minister of Justice, nor am I an official!" Zhou Zhen shook his head repeatedly.

"Ouyang Lun, I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost!"
