King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 116 Question: Why is this happening?
  There was silence in the main hall.

After listening to Zhu Gaoxu's words, Zhu Di was immediately dumbfounded. He looked at him in disbelief, then looked at the generals kneeling behind him, and was stunned on the spot.

play?

What's going on?

How about playing house as a child?

What about rebellion and rebellion as promised?

Even if you don't rebel or plot rebellion, you still have to force the palace, right?
  As a result, what these bastards did to him was beyond his imagination.

The problem is, you don’t want to rebel, you don’t rebel, and you don’t force me to marry you.

Why are you bastards wearing military uniforms?

What do you want to do?
  How can anyone in military uniform admit their mistake?
  Judging from the way you people are dressed, it doesn't look like you are admitting your mistake! !
  My dear mother!
  As a result, he worked intensively to mobilize this and that, arranging backup plans to prevent unexpected events, and it made him feel lonely?

After receiving the order, Zhu Gaoxu stood up, came to each military general, gathered all the memorials together, and then placed them on Zhu Di's desk.

"I hope they can understand their mistakes and take the initiative to confess them."

If it hadn't been for him, Zhu Gaoxu, who started to strictly investigate corruption, it wouldn't have been for the Crown Prince to slash at his own people with his own hands.

"Human beings have seven emotions and six desires. If you are in a high position and have more contact with them, there will naturally be more temptations."

Wow.
  In an instant, there was a sound of shaking armor and chaotic footsteps inside the door...
  After a while, the room became quiet, and Zhu Di turned to look at the people still kneeling below, raised the memorial in his hand, and said coldly:
  "Are all the things recorded here true?"

'call'

Time passed minute by minute. I don’t know how long it took. Zhu Di roughly read through the memorials piled on the desk, raised his head and looked out the door, and shouted coldly:
  "Someone is coming."

"It is true that all ministers have merit, and it is true that they are guilty."

They are all people who have shed their blood on the battlefield, and their military exploits are all real.

"You have done so many things in just the past few years??"

"The military generals were upright and courageous by nature and did not disappoint me. Later, each one of them honestly explained what they had done and accepted bribes over the years."

"Your Majesty, please take a look and punish me."

Having said this, he paused, his eyes became deeper, and he continued:
  "So this morning I urgently summoned all the military generals to go to the mansion to discuss matters, and use reason to move people's emotions."

But let alone him at this time, the Imperial Guards who were deployed outside the door and the Crown Prince and Prince Zhao who were hiding behind the hall were also stunned by the current behavior and did not know what to say. .

"Ever since our father and son talked about issues in the court yesterday."

Not that they are like that.

After reading the memorial and reading the words above, Zhu Di's face darkened visibly, and the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.

"Second brother, please collect them together and present them to me together."

"Why do you want to apologize?"

"What's wrong?"

After a while, Zhu Di recovered from his daze, exhaled a long breath, shrank his eyes and stared directly at the people below, with a trace of curiosity flashing on his face, and slowly said:

Zhu Gaoxu took a few deep breaths and simply calmed down the restless emotions in his heart. He stopped pretending and said directly:
  "Dad!"

"We are all human beings, and we all have emotions and desires. No one is exempt from vulgarities."

"As for what the crime is, you will know just by looking at the self-motivation memorials that all the generals have prepared."

The air in the entire hall turned cold in vain and fell into a terrifying silence. The sound of everyone's heavy breathing lingered in the ears. The atmosphere seemed particularly oppressive and cold, like a time bomb that was about to explode at any time, making people frightened and terrified.

Many military generals felt a sense of depression, with cold sweat covering their foreheads unknowingly. From time to time, they looked cautiously and quietly at Zhu Di on the desk.

After listening to the question, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and looked directly into Zhu Laosi's eyes. He could not help but look solemn and said in a deep voice:
  "Dad, I have repeatedly verified the things recorded in the memorial, and everything is true."

"I have been thinking that since they are all officials in the court, corruption cannot only affect civil servants but not military officers."

He thought about many possibilities, but he never thought that it would be like this.

In an instant, Zhu Di could not help but squint his eyes as he looked at the memorials being held high above his head. His face was full of curiosity, he sat up straight and ordered:

"I, my ministers, bear responsibility for past crimes."

After hearing this, the generals kneeling behind reached out and took out the memorial that had been prepared. With a slightly solemn expression, they raised the memorial above their heads and kowtowed:

yes! !
  Everyone in the audience is a meritorious official in the court.

From the time he received the news that Zhu Gaoxu and the generals might rebel until now, everything that happened made Zhu Di extremely surprised and shocked.

"Civil officials are the foundation of governing a country, and military generals are the foundation of a country."

"Second brother, you and the many generals are all my humerus ministers. They have been following me to conquer the world since the Battle of Jingnan. They have made great achievements in bringing order to the court and stabilizing the situation of the court."

"Why don't you take out the memorial that records what you have done over the years?"

The problem is that there is nothing wrong with military exploits, but after these years of stability in the court, people's minds have changed and have been dazzled by interests.

As he spoke, he waved to the people behind him and said in a deep voice:
  "What are you doing standing still?"

Nothing happened?

"Let everyone get out of here. No one can come within fifteen steps of the imperial study without my order."

"I gave them one day to compile their guilt into a memorial and sort out their belongings."

"It was only then that I brought them here to apologize to my father."

"My son has an old relationship with me, and he has the responsibility of supervision. If he failed to detect it in time, he has an unshirkable responsibility. I sincerely ask my father to take responsibility."

"I also ask my father to give them a chance to change their ways because they all sacrificed their lives for the Ming Dynasty."

After saying that, Zhu Gaoxu kowtowed again.

The generals at the rear couldn't help but feel a little moved when they heard Zhu Gaoxu's words.

This man really means what he says, and this matter has nothing to do with him.

But he not only pleads for them, but also accuses himself of having an old relationship with them.

In this way, we try to reduce their guilt as much as possible and share their guilt.

At this moment, many people's sense of Zhu Gaoxu has risen by more than one level, and their gratitude is even greater than before.

Support and support him even more wholeheartedly.

After that, a group of generals followed closely behind, without any hesitation, they kowtowed again and said loudly:

"I have betrayed the divine grace and let His Majesty down."

"I beg your Majesty to punish me."

"I will admit my guilt and accept my punishment without any complaints."

Having said this, the generals couldn't help but look at the figure of Zhu Gaoxu kneeling in front, with a hint of determination on their faces, and continued:
  "The King of Han is kind and remembers his old friendship. However, this matter was all done by the ministers themselves and has nothing to do with the King of Han."

"I beg you, Your Majesty, just punish us. Don't involve the King of Han, otherwise I will feel uneasy."

After saying this, everyone touched their heads to the ground, waiting for the emperor's judgment.

But time passed by, but no response was heard from Zhu Di, not even a scolding sound.

In the main hall, the silence was terrifying.

However, Zhu Gaoxu, who was kneeling at the front, could hear Zhu Di's breathing coming and going, obviously he was very angry.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was originally full of confidence, now felt more and more frightened and unsure.

There is no other reason.

Mainly because of the superfluous words the generals just said to exonerate him.

At first glance, this statement is nothing...

Upon closer inspection, the problem becomes bigger!

These bastards!     Don't you know this is in front of the emperor?
  How could he show his love for his concubine? I don't know that others almost labeled them as rebels and rebels because of what happened today.

It’s really not a big deal.

Aren't you just disgusting old men for doing this?

Thinking of this, Zhu Gaoxu could not stop whining and cursing in his heart:
  "grass!"

"You are a bastard, a brainless bastard."

"Do any of you talk like that?"

"A bastard who fails to achieve anything but fails more than he deserves."

If the occasion hadn't been inappropriate, Zhu Gaoxu couldn't help but want to stand up and kick each of these bastards a few times.

But in the current situation, he could only feel anxious and had no choice.

At this moment, Zhu Gaoxu felt deeply how helpless, speechless and uncomfortable the prince felt when Yang Shiqi said those words in front of the emperor when he checked Liu Guan.

He secretly warned himself that when this incident passes, he must sound the alarm to these guys!

Just like that, I don't know how long passed, but Zhu Di suddenly burst into laughter. The laughter was filled with endless coldness, and he shouted in vain:

"Yeah!"

"All these bastards, raise their heads to me."

After hearing this, the people who kowtowed felt uneasy and raised their heads cautiously. However, after meeting Zhu Di's cold and stern gaze, they involuntarily lowered their heads.

"hehe."

Seeing the appearance of the generals, Zhu Di sneered and shouted:
  "What?"

"Now that I know I'm embarrassed, I don't dare to look at us."

"When you did those things before, why didn't you think about whether you were worthy of my trust in you?"

"Why didn't you think about whether you had the face to see me?"

"What have you been doing so far?"

"Ok?"

That's what I said.

Even though all military generals have a bad temper and are thick-skinned, after hearing these words, they couldn't help but feel their cheeks getting slightly hot, and they turned red in embarrassment.

If they had thought so much, they wouldn't have done these things.

That was what almost everyone was thinking about at that time.

He worked hard, stuck his head on his waistband, and started to rebel.

Now that it is successful, these people are all meritorious officials.

The court is stable. After fighting for so many years, can't we still enjoy it?
  I never thought that just enjoying it would have such serious consequences.
  "Your Majesty, calm down!"

"I wait. I know I'm wrong."

"We are all samurai warriors with straight minds and a stubborn mind."

“I really didn’t think too much about it”

"All the bribes I received have been cleared out."

"I beg your Majesty to punish..."

"I plead guilty and accept punishment."

His attitude is simply not ordinary.

It gave him a huge headache for a while.

Don't know what to do.

no way..
  Just like civil servants, there are too many people involved.

But these people are different from civil servants, because these people took the initiative to confess and plead guilty, and honestly sorted out everything into memorials and submitted them. They even wrote down the bribes they had collected over the years, how they were collected, and how much they had collected. Every word is missed.

Even if the money collected from bribes is used, it will be replenished by selling iron.

They all followed them and were pulled to the palace gate.

Zhou Zheng's service attitude is not ordinary. He doesn't need to worry about it at all. He doesn't need to spend any manpower and material resources. He can just send someone to receive and count it.

Zhu Di had planned before, waiting for the prince to take care of the civil servants, and then let Zhu Gaoxu take care of the generals.

At the same time, I took the opportunity to bang my dick.

The relationship is good!

Now...it's no longer useful at all.

Others don't need you to take action, just surrender yourself to the trap.

Such behavior made Zhu Di feel a little suffocated. The feeling of punching cotton made him really unhappy and almost caused him internal injuries.

Hey!
  If Zhu Di hadn't been careful about his image, he would have almost refrained from swearing.

What can he do about this?
  The law does not blame the public!
  It's impossible to arrest everyone and kill them all, right?

When the time comes, who will go to the battlefield to kill the enemy on his behalf? Will he personally fight all the border conflicts, large and small?
  Then don’t exhaust yourself to death!

After a short silence, Zhu Di stared coldly at the people below, with anger on his face, and shouted angrily:
  "A bastard who fails to achieve anything but fails more than he deserves."

"I hope you have sacrificed your lives and blood for the Ming Dynasty over the years. I have taken the initiative to admit my mistake and have a good attitude in pleading guilty."

"All corruption and bribery will be handed over to the Ministry of Household Affairs."

"Everyone, please stay at home and stay home for a month to reflect and reflect."

"Forfeiture of salary for half a year."

"If you have nothing else to do, just get out of here. I get upset just looking at you bastards."

This statement came out.

The general, who lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief. His nervous inner mood finally calmed down, and he hurriedly saluted:

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness!"

"Thank you for your mercy, Your Majesty!!"

As if they had received an amnesty, everyone bowed their bodies and lowered their heads, fearing that Zhu Di would regret it and be called back, so they trotted away in a hurry, only hating their parents for giving them fewer legs.

After everyone left, Zhu Di stood on the high platform, with half-closed eyes and a gloomy old face, staring straight at the King of Han kneeling on the ground, giving him a thumbs up, and said solemnly:

"Second brother! Second child!"

"Your methods are really getting better and better!"

After hearing these words and feeling the gaze falling on him, Zhu Gaoxu raised his head and looked at him, his expression unabashed as usual, and he responded:

"Resolving father's problems is what a son should do."

"But."

At this point, Zhu Gaoxu suddenly changed the topic, his face became extremely gloomy, his eyes narrowed involuntarily, and his voice was extremely low, and he said:

"Today I am busy solving problems for my father and eliminating hidden dangers in the court. I have dedicated myself to the Ming Dynasty and died."

“But I accidentally discovered something particularly interesting.”

"My heart is towards the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch."

"I wonder if dad can tell me why he did this to me???"
