Jingtai Fenghua

Chapter 273 Let me see if you die

Zhu Qiyu sat there and read the memorial, and Cheng Jing reported every hour on the situation in the hall!

In addition, Cheng Jing also needs to report on the situation outside!
"Your Majesty, they haven't discussed it yet. The generals have all dozed off, and some are sleeping on the floor!" Cheng Jing came over to report and said to Zhu Qiyu.

"Send some mats over!" Zhu Qiyu said lightly, still looking at the memorial.

"Yes!" Cheng Jing immediately raised his hand and continued: "Your Majesty, what if they still can't think of a countermeasure?"

Zhu Qiyu waved his hand and said: "If you can't think of anything, keep it closed. If you still can't think of it by this time tomorrow, each civil servant will be whipped five times. If you still can't think of it by tomorrow night, you'll be whipped ten more times!"

Cheng Jing was stunned when he heard this. Zhu Qiyu had never whipped a minister before. If he whipped so many ministers at once, his reputation might be affected! So he said to Zhu Qiyu: "Your Majesty, this is inappropriate! What if those ministers spread rumors outside that your Majesty is a tyrant?"

"Are we going to let the people call me a coward? I would rather be a tyrant than a coward! They forced me, and I don't want to treat them like this. But what about them, do they think I'm weak or that I don't dare to hit them? The capital of the Ming Dynasty Now that they are still pretending to be ignorant, are they worthy of the status and power I have given them? Just tell them that there is no countermeasure, and the whipping will continue until they are killed!" Zhu Qiyu stared angrily! Zhu Chengjing shouted.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Cheng Jing did not dare to refute at this moment, he immediately handed over and went to Fengtian Palace!
After opening the door and going in, the civil servants were still thinking, Cheng Jing cleared his throat, and everyone looked at Cheng Jing.

"Your Majesty ordered that if there is no countermeasure at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon, all civil servants present will be whipped five times. If there is no countermeasure by the end of the hour tomorrow, they will be whipped five more times. At noon the day after tomorrow, if there is no countermeasure, they will be whipped five more times. , Either come up with a countermeasure, or be whipped to death!" Cheng Jing stood there and said to the ministers.

"What?" When the ministers heard this, they all stood up!

"How could your Majesty insult us like this? I will crash to death in this hall right now!" An old minister felt that he had been insulted and shouted loudly.

"Shibo, when he hits the pillar later, you go and watch. If he doesn't hit him to death, let him continue to hit him until he hits him to death!" Lin Cunde immediately said to Wang Ying!

"Ah!" Upon hearing this, Wang Ying looked at Lin Cunde in a daze.

"You guys are all going to see him hit to death!" Lin Cunde said with a dark face.

"Cunde, you, you can't do this!" Shi Heng also looked at Lin Cunde in surprise and said!
"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it!" Wang Ying didn't care whether it was okay or not. Anyway, just follow what Lin Cunde said!
Cheng Jing ignored him. At this moment, his father-in-law came in with bamboo mats and handed them to the generals!

"I want to see His Majesty!" the old minister shouted loudly.

But Cheng Jing ignored him!

"If you don't see me, I will crash and die here!" The old minister was about to rush to the pillar next to him.

Lin Cunde saw it, stood up, and walked over there. Wang Ying followed immediately!
Guo Sheng, Zheng Hong, Shi Heng, Gu Jing and the generals all followed!
The civil servants were also surprised when they saw the generals coming. What are they doing here?

Lin Cunde pulled away from Chen Xun, who was originally pulling away from the minister!
"Come on, get out of the way, get out of the way, all of you, get out of the way! Mr. Li, you hit me, not just once, but a few times!" Lin Cunde pulled Chen Xun at this moment, pointed at the pillar in front of the official, and said Said the minister.

"You, you, what do you mean?" The minister looked at Lin Cunde in surprise, and the other ministers also looked at Lin Cunde in surprise.

"Excuse me? Is it wrong to ask you to think of countermeasures? Corruption is happening in Zhejiang and Jiangxi. Why don't you civil servants think of a solution? You are taking your court salary for nothing? Are you going to kill me? Who are you trying to scare? Do you dare to kill me today? , I will ruin your reputation tomorrow, send your men into the army, castrate your children and send them to the palace, send your women to the Jiaofang Department, and send the older ones to the military camp!" Lin Cunde stared at the minister with a cold face and said!

"You, you!" The minister felt his legs were weak at this moment, pointed at Lin Cunde, and did not dare to speak! Because Lin Cunde can really ruin his reputation!

"What am I, I asked you to think of countermeasures, what's wrong, you are still seeking death? Do you have the shame to die? Isn't this your responsibility? You made a mistake, we are here to accompany you, you are still seeking death, who are you scaring? I have seen it before Corpses, have you seen tens of thousands of corpses lying there on the battlefield? You said that we used to face each other normally, but now we are here with you. Who should we talk to? I don’t want to think of a solution! Stay here for the night!" Lin Cunde pointed at the minister and said. "That's right, you've been sitting here for most of the day. Is it so difficult? Aren't you smart? Write quickly. What are you waiting for?" Guo Sheng was also standing there at the moment, shouting at the civil servants.

At this moment, Shi Heng also looked at the minister with contempt and said: "You are still seeking death, who are you trying to scare? Come on, come and find one. You are seeking death. When your granddaughter goes to the Jiaofang Division, I will buy it back!"

"You, you guys!" The veteran looked at these generals dumbfounded!

"That, that, Marquis of Luling, gentlemen, this is not what Mr. Li meant just now. Everyone go back and have a rest. We are going to think of countermeasures now!" Chen Xun said quickly to Lin Cunde and the others!
"Hurry up, don't bother you, let us sit here and wait for you to do things! Is it so difficult?" Lin Cunde said to Chen Xun. After finishing speaking, he turned around and went back. The other generals heard this and also expressed their gratitude to those Wenchen urged to hurry up!

Lin Cunde and the others returned to their positions and sat down. At this moment, those generals admired Lin Cunde!

It seems that he is preventing the minister from committing suicide, but in fact he is protecting Zhu Qiyu's reputation. It cannot be said that Zhu Qiyu forced the minister to death in the court. It would not sound good to spread such news!
Lin Cunde ignored them and started making tea for them!
At the same time, several military generals began to lay mats. Lin Cunde and the others were tired and went to the ground. Anyway, the weather is still very hot and autumn has not yet come. They can't wait until autumn does!

Before he knew it, it was getting dark. Lin Cunde lay there and slept for a while. When he woke up, he found that it was dark outside and candles were lit in the hall!
"Have you not written it yet?" Lin Cunde asked with a frown. He also stood up and stretched, looking at the ministers with contempt.

"I wrote a lot, sent it up, and was beaten back, asking them to continue writing!" Gu Jing said with a smile to Lin Cunde. He woke up earlier, so he knew those things!
"Are we really going to spend the night?" Lin Cunde was so worried at the moment. Could he really spend the night here?

"I guess I can't run away. I'll be here for dinner later. Are you going to spend the night here? It's not bad. It would be nice to chat with us!" Wang Ying said to Lin Cunde with a smile!

"Yeah!" Lin Cunde nodded, stopped talking, and continued to make tea!
And those civil servants were also worried. Wang Zhi had not spoken. He was also treacherous. He believed that those ministers had long thought of the imperial investigation and the big plan, but no one dared to say anything!

He didn't want to say that he had finally canceled it for fear of becoming the target of public criticism. Now if he mentioned it again, those ministers would definitely object. Therefore, if he didn't say it, he wouldn't be the only one suffering anyway!

Moreover, I had already mentioned it to Zhu Qiyu, so there was no need to mention it again, just wait!

Therefore, Wang Zhi kept doing that, pretending to be deep in thought. Ever since he read the memorial, Wang Zhi has been like this!

Dinner was delivered soon. After Lin Cunde and the others finished eating, they went to the ground again. It was boring. We couldn't talk about things in the army here, so everyone just talked about some interesting experiences outside. Lin Cunde also listened. Yes, it’s quite interesting!
But those civil servants were troubled. Chen Xun had already submitted two copies, but they had not been approved yet!

In other words, Zhu Qiyu was dissatisfied with the way they proposed to deal with it!
Yu Qian didn't want to stay with those civil servants at this moment, so he walked to Lin Cunde and found a place to sit down.

Everyone is not that disgusted with Yu Qian!
So I didn’t say anything!
Wang Ying looked at Yu Qian and asked: "Is it that difficult? It's just a countermeasure. You have read so many poems and books, can you still think of it? Is it necessary for us all to lie down here?"

"That's right! Can't you remind them?" Shi Heng also looked at Yu Qian and said.

"I am the Minister of the Ministry of War, not the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel. Besides, if there is a problem with the local officials, what does it have to do with me, the Minister of the Ministry of War? In addition, what Your Majesty wants is not a plan to deal with the officials of these two provinces, but to prevent such a large-scale A corrupt plan! How can such a strategy be so simple?" Yu Qian said helplessly as he looked at the general.

In fact, Yu Qian also knew that he had read the memorial written by Lin Cunde, but he could not say that these officials still needed to find their own solutions!
"Okay, let me sleep here and let them think of a way. Aren't they going to be whipped five times tomorrow? It's not like I've never been whipped before!" Yu Qian sat there and waved his hands, and then went back, regardless of those civil servants. matter!
Yu Qian knew that those civil servants were pretending to be stupid, and the Minister of Civil Affairs was also pretending to be stupid. Of course, he didn't know that Wang Zhi had already proposed a response strategy!

Those civil servants are pretending to be stupid. They all know how to solve these problems, but they just don't want to solve them. After all, Jingcha and Daji will cause their disciples and old subordinates to lose many opportunities!
Therefore, those civil servants all knew it, but they just didn’t say it!
If you don't say that Zhu Qiyu did the right thing, if you don't force them, they won't say anything. No one is better at pretending to be stupid than those civil servants!
And Chen Xun was troubled. Chen Xun wanted to solve these problems, especially after seeing so many disciples' accidents, he knew that he had been deceived and deceived by the superficial skills of those officials!
Therefore, Chen Xun was also very angry, but if he really wanted to propose a solution now, he would not dare to do so. He could only waste it with those ministers!

When those ministers have no other choice, they will naturally agree!

Civil servants are like this, pretending to be confused while pretending to understand, and they will only take action when their interests are involved!
