Mixing ancient times with Taobao

Chapter 502
To put it bluntly, the matter has been revealed.

Strange to say, the officials who planned to find fault with this incident fell silent collectively after hearing what the emperor said.

He Zeming and Li Chang glanced at each other at the same time, and then at Zuo Dayou, with a hint of complexity in their eyes.

Zhou's death...

Suddenly, I wanted to laugh.

After going on for a long time, whether it's Zuo Dayou or them, are they all just pawns in His Majesty's hands?Using literature to suppress martial arts, no, borrowing literature to suppress the left, and then borrowing the left to suppress literature, who else has the great ability to make the Zhou family commit suicide?And can sneak into Ying Tian Mansion quietly to talk?

Ji Wen's body was trembling non-stop at the moment, and he suddenly remembered that his second officers could get in touch with the Zhou family, and the new murder suspect had nothing to do with this matter at all, it was just a coincidence!
And who can make his second official do such a thing, except the emperor? !After all, the Zhou family and their sons pretending to be the blood of the Zuo family and stabbing Duke Yasukuni were a major case, and the government and the public were concerned. Who would dare to tamper with this?

Although he was wary of someone doing it before, he really didn't think anyone would dare to do it on this joint.Those officials are not pigs, if they dare to attack at this time, what will greet them will be the wrath of the whole honorable group!
After all, the rise of the Zuo family gave the honorable nobles hope, and they became a little harder to speak in. If the Zuo family fell, they would be suppressed by civil officials again, which was not what they wanted to see.

So from the beginning, no one should attack the Zhou family, unless they are really prepared to die!

And why did the emperor want Zhou to commit suicide?

Very simple.

He is showing his ability to the officials, he is not a mediocre master.

Regardless of civil or martial arts, as long as he wants, he can play with everyone in his hands. If you want you to live, you will live, and if you want you to die, you will die. Not only can he do it, but he can also make up his mind to do it!
Not only has the means of Chengzu, but also the ruthlessness of Taizu!
This is him Zhu Cihong!
After trying to understand the node, the ministers fell silent collectively.

They are not afraid of the capable emperor, but they are afraid of the cruel emperor.

Compared with their predecessors, the literati have lost their strength of character at this moment, and even their reputation is not as open as their predecessors.

Seeing that the officials were speechless, Zhu Cihong smiled, but it was not warm.

"However, if a person dies in Yingtian Mansion, there must be an explanation."

Ji Wen trembled and his face turned pale.

It's finally here...

He bit the bullet and came out and said: "Your Majesty, I have committed a crime and neglected my duty. Please punish me."

"When the Zhou family's accident happened, you were leading the yamen servants to maintain the law and order in Beijing. What is your crime?"

Ji Wen was stunned for a moment, and before he had time to ponder the meaning of the emperor's words, the emperor said again, "At that time, the Tongzhi and Tongju were the ones staying in the yamen. Go to Jiashan County to hone and hone."

With a light sentence, he directly demoted Ying Tianfu's co-prefect and general judge.The Tongzhi Tongsan in Kyoto is more beautiful than the Zhizhou in ordinary places. This is good. Going directly to Jiashan County to become a county magistrate, even demoted several ranks, is bad enough!

Shay was stunned!
Was it one of the two of them? !
The two were demoted together, but it was impossible for two people to do such a thing, so it could only be one of them.

So who will it be?

Ji Wen didn't dare to think about it, and hurriedly knelt down to thank him.

After returning to his seat, he gradually had a plan in his mind.

In the future, if anyone can make a steady rise in the sky, he will be the one who assists the emperor.

But that's good too, at last I don't have to be unlucky, and I can still hold on to the position of Ying Tian Fu Yin.But after this incident, Ji Wen suddenly lost the idea of ​​climbing up.

How old is the emperor? A person in his 20s has such powerful methods and ambitions. I dare not think about how he will grow up in ten years.
Working for such a powerful and ruthless emperor, there is no credit for being a good one, and you will lose your family's life if you are not good...

Thinking of this, he subconsciously glanced at Zhou Shichang.

Zhou Shichang has made great achievements in support, but apart from adding a glorious name, he has not gained any real power.And this false name was earned by resisting the Qing army in Jingkou for several years.Compared to the Zuo family, Mr. Zhou is nothing to mention.

And it's strange to say that this old man is like a person who has nothing to do, with a surprisingly good attitude.Let him go wherever he goes, even more silent in the hall, could it be...

Ji Wen was shocked!
Has he already noticed what kind of person the Son of Heaven is?

Sensing Ji Wen's gaze, Zhou Shichang sighed slightly in his heart.

The first emperor died in Meishan, and the emperor was turned away when he went to find his grandfather. He was only a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, how could he withstand this blow?Traveling all the way to Nanjing, suffering all kinds of pains and fears, how can a young man's mentality be normal after all these tortures when he is an adult?
Especially after witnessing all the money that the intruders took out from the minister's house, this person's heart might be even more unbalanced, right?
After all, when the first emperor borrowed money from the ministers, they all said that there was no money.But later King Chuang got out so much money, if they were willing to give a little money back then, the first emperor would not have died so badly.

If there is a cause, there must be an effect.

For nearly 300 years, Daming did not treat scholars poorly, but scholars owed Daming, and whoever was responsible for this matter would have resentment.

Since he supported the emperor, but the emperor didn't reward him much, he sensed that the emperor had a thorn in his heart.Therefore, he tried to keep a low profile later on, not seeking meritorious deeds, but seeking no faults, and only hoped that based on this support, he would be able to return to his hometown in the future and live the rest of his life in peace and stability.

It's just that the emperor's fickleness is beyond his imagination.

The Zuo family's treatment of Daming can be said to be a rebirth of kindness. Although this statement is a bit outrageous, it is the truth.

Without Zuo Dayou to take him in, he might not have survived the day when Da Ming fought back; without Zuo Fu's outlandish methods, Da Ming might have perished.

In order to prevent the Zuo family from growing stronger, Zuo Fu has not married yet.

Zuo Fu is no longer an ordinary person. If she wants to marry someone, she will naturally not marry an ordinary person. No matter if she marries with a certain family, it will form a huge force in the court. Therefore, when she puts on the official uniform that represents glory, she is like Doomed to die alone.

But just like that, the emperor was still worried. Zhou's entry into the Zuo family with kindness gave him hope that he could divide the forces of the Zuo family.So, why did Uncle Zuo go all the way to Qiongzhou so smoothly?There may be the emperor's handwriting in it.

He remembered Zuo's family's kindness, and he read Zuo Fu's well, but compared to Daming's country, he cared more about the country.

What an excellent emperor!
A trace of complexity flashed across Zhou Shichang's eyes.

It is a blessing for the subjects to have such an emperor in this world, but for his old friend Zuo Dayou...

Is it a blessing or a curse?
