Zhu Zhen's face was as cold as ice, and he asked in a low voice: "You should have asked Huang Zheng, what did he say?"

"He said that Daning is so powerful that Liang is invincible and the only way to survive is to beg for mercy..."

Wang Yuan did not say anything wrong with Huang Zheng, but he knew what the last thing His Majesty wanted to hear was?

Begging for mercy and peace only boosts the morale of others and destroys your own prestige... Your Majesty simply cannot listen to such words.

"good!"

"This is my inner court official of the Liang Kingdom. He can actually say such things. I was really blind and appointed such a person."

Zhu Zhen said coldly: "With my imperial decree, Huang Zheng will be dismissed from his post immediately and thrown into prison!"

"Since he has such high regard for Emperor Yuanwu, he must have already yearned for him. We must not tolerate such a person!"

Zhu Zhen clenched his fist tightly.

He himself didn't even notice that he had reached the point of being extreme.

He would not be able to accept anyone who praised Emperor Yuanwu, even if he put Liang Guo first.

He had a preconceived notion that this person might have the idea of ​​​​committing himself to Daning.

This is completely opposite to Wei Junjichuan. They are two extremes, one is to imitate and the other is to resist.

Zhu Zhen's psychology has begun to become abnormal.

"Your Majesty, Huang Zheng wants to see you..."

"not see!"

Zhu Zhen said directly: "People like Huang Zheng are definitely not a minority. You must continue to investigate strictly. If you find that courtiers secretly accept Yuanwu's articles or his decrees, we will investigate and deal with them severely!"

"I accept the decree!"

Wang Yuan thought to himself, he really has great power!

As long as the private possession is related to Yuanwu or Daning, it is considered prohibited and will be strictly investigated. This coverage is too large!

Wang Yuan couldn't help but be shocked.

Your Majesty is really a little too crazy. If you continue to investigate like this, it will inevitably cause turmoil in the court.

Although he knows the disadvantages, he will not dissuade them.

This is his right!

Huang Zheng is finished. He can finish anyone he wants. All he needs to do is accuse him of having the intention to surrender to Daning.

A crime can be convicted without established facts, and the boundaries become extremely blurred. This can be a terrible thing.

But why would Your Majesty still do this?

This is not something he should consider.

Wang Yuan thought that he would soon become an important minister second only to Prime Minister Pang Shigu!

Leave with the order.

Wang Yuan was more confident. After returning, he threw Huang Zheng into a prison and then personally led people to ransack Huang's house.

After some searches and interrogations, more evidence was obtained.

In addition to abstracts and collections, Huang Zheng also collected other books and collections from Daning, most of which were books on Daning's National Conditions, Yuanwu's New Deal, etc.

Huang Zheng's original intention was to learn from each other's strong points and make up for his shortcomings, and to do what was right. There were not a few officials like him.

But this is the biggest mistake!

Zhu Zhen took it for granted that this was ironclad evidence of his intention to invest in Daning.

In just a few days, Huang Zheng, the imperial official, could not bear the torture and was imprisoned. Subsequently, the Huang family was also implicated, and the family was ruined.

His crime is that he is suspected of collaborating with the enemy, and the so-called evidence is the summary of the documents he recorded...

This incident caused a sensation, and this was just the beginning. In the past few days, courtiers were investigated for it. With the support of Zhu Zhen, Wang Yuan gathered officials and investigated and dealt with it severely!

In order to achieve results, he has reached the point of being picky. Even a small thing will be magnified by him infinitely. Once he is labeled as a collaborator, this person is finished!

For a time, the political situation was turbulent and people were panicked.

Prime Minister Pang Shigu was well aware of the seriousness of the situation and took pains to advise him. At first, Zhu Zhen could patiently listen to a few words, but later he was rejected directly.

"My dear, there is no need to say any more."

Zhu Zhen said coldly: "As the saying goes, to fight against external forces, you must first settle the internal affairs. But now my courtiers in Liang Dynasty are saying that Yuan Wu is brave and brave, but they are talking down our country of Liang. What is this?"

"When war breaks out again, these people will definitely follow Lu Zhengyuan's example and endanger Daliang. I will strangle these people in the cradle. I will not rub sand in my eyes and will never allow such people to exist!"

Zhu Zhen was too emotional and couldn't listen at all.

"Your Majesty, the most important thing for Liang State at present is to stabilize the government and develop people's livelihood. Now that the government is in turmoil and everyone is in danger, how can we accomplish this?"

Pang Shigu was almost sincere in his words.

"Your Majesty, Emperor Yuanwu is very powerful, but he is not invincible. Isn't it because of his guilty conscience to prohibit it like this..."

"Um?"

Zhu Zhen turned his eyes coldly.

"Pang Shigu, you are just the prime minister, and you should be responsible for your words. This time I will let it go, and I will not forgive you lightly next time!"

Pang Shigu was slightly startled.

Then he sighed inwardly and quietly left.

He has a stooped body and gray hair.

He can be regarded as having gone through three dynasties. Although the orthodox emperor reigned for a short time, he was also the emperor who entered the ancestral temple.

He thought that Emperor Tianshun would be the leader of the Liang Kingdom's resurgence, but now it seems that he is a little disappointed...

Emperor Tianshun's heart is not strong enough, and all his current performances show his guilty conscience and fear.

Can't we just be honest?

What is the difference between such strict investigation and literary inquisition?

This will not bring the courtiers back, it will only push these people further and further away.

Your Majesty, you are wrong!

Pang Shigu wanted to dissuade him, but he was powerless... He was also old, how long could he last?
