Ming Dynasty: Tanks blocked the door and you said to me, "Long live Ming Dynasty"

"Min Aiqing is thoughtful, so please don't be polite."

But what surprised him even more was that after hearing this, Min Hongxue not only did not get up, but instead said with a look of regret on his face.

"Your Majesty, I failed to discipline my children properly. My servant Min Yiqi dared to stay overnight at a brothel in my name, which tarnished the reputation of the court."

"My lord, you are guilty!"

"Your Majesty, please punish me!"

Zhu Youxiao was stunned when he heard this. What on earth was this guy up to?

Just when the investigation came to Min Yiqi, Min Hongxue jumped out on his own?

Moreover, he revealed Min Yiqi's secrets before I could even ask?

Looking at Min Hongxue's serious expression, he was a little confused, so he said with a playful look on his face.

"Min Aiqing, what are you talking about? How can a servant like him tarnish the reputation of the imperial court?"

"Where is Min Yiqi? I just happen to have something to ask him."

Min Hongxue looked stunned when he heard this, as if he was very surprised.

"Your Majesty, I, I just beat that old dog to death..."

"Ming dynasty law strictly prohibits officials and their families from visiting prostitutes. Although Min Yiqi is a servant, he is also a family member of my ministers. If he violates the law, I will punish him severely."

"Your Majesty, I wonder what you want to ask him. I know most of his affairs, so it's the same if you ask me."

As soon as he said this, the smile on Zhu Youxiao's face froze.

His first reaction was not that the maintenance method was no longer available, but to silence the witness!

The news from southern Fujian was spread by Ruhua, who was instigated by Min Yiqi.

Now Ruhua and Min Yiqi are both dead...

There is no doubt that Min Yiqi was definitely instructed by Min Hongxue!

But Min Hongxue was the Left Deputy Censor-in-Chief, a third-rank official, and the head of the court censors!

If it were taken directly without any evidence, it would only lead to countless criticisms!

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao finally understood something.

That is, even if he is the emperor, he cannot do whatever he wants!

Before he could figure out how to respond, he saw a Jinyiwei standing at the door reporting.

"Your Majesty, there are hundreds of students kneeling outside the palace gates to make remonstrations!"

Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao's expression became even gloomier.

Looking at Min Hongxue who was kneeling not far away, he understood everything!

Perhaps for Min Hongxue, he doesn't care about the life or death of Min Yiqi and Ruhua at all.

All he wants is an introduction!

The introduction to revealing southern Fujian to the world!

Under normal circumstances, it would take at least three to five months for news of what Zhu Youxiao did in southern Fujian to reach Nanjing.

After all, it is freezing cold and it is the New Year, and even businessmen don’t want to go out. Who would be the carrier of this news?

Only those whose interests are closely related to southern Fujian will know those things in advance!

And Min Hongxue is such a person.

But he couldn't tell the story of Minnan himself, not without reason, but doing so would put himself in the spotlight!

Now Min Yiqi, who spread the news, is dead, and Ruhua is also dead!

If Zhu Youxiao asked him now, Min Hongxue could easily shirk the responsibility and pretend that he knew nothing!

Horse riding!

The more Zhu Youxiao thought about it, the angrier he became, and he shouted at the small flag.

"What do those scholars want to do!"

Xiaoqi shuddered at his tone and replied quickly.

"Your Majesty, they said that the scholar Liu Youyuan was convicted for his words, which is unreasonable. Please order his release immediately."

"In addition, they also said that since Your Majesty wants to ban the sea, he should act like it. He should immediately issue an order to disband the South China Sea Navy! Otherwise... Otherwise, they will kneel down forever!"

Damn it?

Who gave them the courage?

Zhu Youxiao felt a surge of anger rising to his head, and his right hand, which was holding the walnut, tightened unconsciously.

"Crack!"

A crisp sound was heard, and the shell of a walnut in the palm of my hand was squeezed through, and the broken edges pricked my palm painfully.

He glanced down and smiled.

"Sun Kangwang, take some people out to hold umbrellas for those scholars!"

"This is such a horrible weather, it might rain soon. They are the future pillars of our Ming Dynasty, it would be bad if they get cold!"

After saying this, without waiting for Sun Kangwang to answer, he pointed to the porcelain jar filled with walnuts on the table and continued.

"I don't like these walnuts from the Western Regions, so I give them to you as a reward. Remember to use your brain more when doing things!"

"Oh, by the way, I remember that Concubine Rong and Concubine Cheng also have this thing, take it as well."

Sun Kangwang didn't understand what he meant for a moment and scratched his head in embarrassment.

However, Yu Tong, who was standing by, saw the puncture wound on Zhu Youxiao's palm, kicked Sun Kangwang from behind, and then signaled him with his eyes to go out and talk.

Upon seeing this, Sun Kangwang quickly picked up the walnut jar and left the hall.

Yutong followed him out and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing this, Sun Kangwang couldn't help but slap his forehead.

"Damn it, it seems like I really need to improve my brain. Thanks for the advice, Lieutenant You!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply to Chong Yutong, and then went out to do his work.

Inside the hall, Zhu Youyou was sitting behind the imperial desk. Looking at Min Hongxue who was still kneeling there, he waved his hand at him unhappily.

"Min Yiqi is your own servant. I have no reason to ask about it. Beat him to death if you want. You can leave now!"

Min Hongxue kowtowed in a pretentious manner to express his gratitude, then stood up and walked out of the hall.

But at this moment, another Jinyiwei came in to report.

"Your Majesty, the six gentlemen, Wang Zaijin, the Minister of Personnel, Zhang Pu, the Minister of Revenue, Han Rizhuan, the Minister of Rites, Liu Tingyuan, the Minister of War, Pan Jun, the Minister of Punishment, and Shang Zhouzuo, the Minister of Works, have come together to request an audience!"

Zhu Youxiao stared at Min Hongxue who was about to step over the threshold and sneered.

"Okay!"

"It's the first day of the Chinese New Year, so you guys aren't going to be at home for the New Year, right?"

"Are they all running to the palace?"

"Why, are you all here to wish me a happy new year?"

"Since you are all here, then Lord Min, please don't be in such a hurry to leave."

"Youtong, give the order to prepare a banquet!"

"I want to have a good chat with you, my dear ministers!"

Chapter 186: This Governor is good in every way, except that his brain is a little bit insufficient

When Sun Kangwang and his men walked out of the palace gate, they saw a large crowd of scholars kneeling outside, about two hundred people in total.

It was very cold and the bluestone slabs at the palace gate were very icy. You could easily slip if you were not careful.

But these scholars all knelt upright, looking in the direction of the Qianqing Palace with solemn expressions.

Seeing Sun Kangwang coming out with a group of Jinyiwei, and with small flags carrying two baskets, some of the scholars raised their lips slightly and a hint of pride flashed in their eyes.

It seems that the emperor is also afraid of offending the world!

Yes, we are all future officials, and one of us might become a cabinet minister or something like that, so even if he is the emperor, he has to be cautious!

Look at what's in that basket. It must be the hot meals and dishes sent by the emperor.

Someone thought so and said to Sun Kangwang with his head raised.

"We thank Your Majesty for the reward, but if you don't release Brother Liu, we will kneel down forever!"

"reward?"

Sun Kangwang looked at Zhen Beiwang beside him with some doubt: "Did His Majesty reward them with anything?"

Zhen Beiwang was also somewhat stunned, but he looked down at the basket in his hand and smiled: "Sir, if these also count, then they are!"

Sun Kangwang also laughed when he heard this: "Look at my memory, your majesty really gave them a reward!"

As he spoke, he took out two walnuts from the basket, held one in each hand, and slammed them together.

"Snapped!"

The walnut cracked with a sound. He picked out the walnut kernel and threw it into his mouth, chewing it and sighing.

"I am good in every way, but I always feel that my brain is not enough when I am with Your Majesty."

"Perhaps this is why your majesty asked me to supplement my brain?"

Having said this, he walked up to the scholar who had just spoken, scattered the walnut shells in his hand, and said with a smile.

"You are all scholars, your brains don't need to be supplemented."

"But I can't carry anything on my shoulders or lift anything with my hands. My body is not strong enough."

"It's cold, the ground is cold, come on, move forward, I'll have someone clear the ice off the ground, don't freeze your knees."

"His Majesty has said that you are all the future pillars of the Ming Dynasty. It would be bad if you got frozen!"

Before he finished speaking, he grabbed the scholar's shoulders with both hands and lifted him up from the ground.

Then press down hard again.

"Snapped!"

This time, the scholar's knees landed squarely on the walnut shells he had scattered.

"what!"

Although it was cold and he was wearing thick clothes, the scholar still felt the pain and screamed subconsciously.

The scholar wanted to say something, but Sun Kangwang covered his mouth.

"Don't be so excited. Kneel down and don't stand up. Otherwise, if it gets out, all the scholars in the world will laugh at you for being spineless..."

The scholar's eyes were as big as cow's and his face was flushed red.

Ma mai batch!

If you have the guts, kneel down and try it!

It hurts!

When the scholars nearby saw this scene, they couldn't help but tremble.

Someone shouted bravely.

"Hawk dog, aren't you afraid of retribution for doing this?"

If someone starts, someone will join in.

"You bastard, how dare you mistreat a scholar? Believe it or not, we will all sign a joint report against you!"

"That's right! Today's emperor is wise and wise. Even the lawless Wei Yan has had his power taken back. How can a Jinyiwei like you have the guts to act like this!"

"........."

These people shouted very loudly, but Sun Kangwang could see that they were just timid and wanted to gain fame for themselves.
