"Ah, you said that I am as old as your grandson? This old Emperor Yan is quite brave to say that!"
"It's a long article, useless, I won't read it anymore!"
The emperor read the letter from Beiyan.
Laughed.
The ministers below had known about the Northern Yan State Letter for a long time, and when they saw the emperor's careless attitude, they suddenly felt angry and welled up in their hearts.
"Your Majesty, the Beiyan Cavalry is about to cross the border! How can you still laugh?"
Duke Shi Guogong was an old man with a black face. He stood up and scolded him harshly.
"Off the edge?"
Zhu Youde laughed dumbly.
"I read this long speech, with all kinds of verbal threats but no actual actions. Between the piles of words, I only saw one word, coward!"
"I don't understand. Why do you think Beiyan has the confidence to attack me?"
"Last year, Northern Yan conquered Shu and Tang in the west. They lost troops and generals, and their vitality was severely damaged! If they go south again to fight against Daliang, when will Northern Yan's soldiers, horses, money and food become so rich?"
Duke Shi Guogong was filled with disappointment.
He shouted again: "Your Majesty, all this is just speculation!"
"What if? Your Majesty, won't you consider what if Beiyan calls regardless of everything?"
"If anything happens, I will take charge of the expedition myself!"
Zhu Youde was very impressive.
"My Daliang, the emperor will guard the gate of the country, and the king will die in the country!"
This was what Zhu Youde had already thought about when he ordered the execution of Beiyan Emperor Shang that day.
Although he is a layman.
But it's better than sitting on the battlefield with these bullies who even dare to steal military pay!
Duke Shi Guogong was shocked by the young emperor's bold words.
I was speechless for a moment!
The Minister of Honglu Temple waited for a while and saw that no one spoke.
He continued to report: "Your Majesty, even if it is lucky that there is no war. But at the end of the letter of credence, Beiyan said that it will send envoys to come to Daliang for exchanges."
"The person who comes here is not good and will definitely come to show off his power. I think we must prepare carefully!"
“Daliang’s face cannot be lost!
"Then Honglu Temple will come up with a detailed charter and show it to me."
The Minister of Honglu Temple accepted the order and retreated.
"Okay, if other matters are not urgent, please put them on hold for now."
"What will I say in court today? My dear friends, you can all guess it, right?"
The officials were silent.
If they are not deaf or blind, how could they not know that in the past few days, there have been a lot of killings in the harem.
But the harem is the home of the little emperor, and the most they can do is scold the emperor for being tyrannical.
Too lazy to take care of the rest.
"I really didn't expect that Jinling City would be so hidden!"
"Fifty! Fifty assassins! I don't know when they arrived at the palace! I don't know when they arrived at Jinling City!"
"Where is the commander of the Five Cities Military and Horse Division?"
A tall, middle-aged general with a bitter face knelt down in front of the emperor.
He knew he couldn't escape this pot!
"I leave the safety of the entire Jinling City in your hands. You bitch, is this how you protect Jinling City?"
"I will die!"
"You really deserve to die! You should kowtow to death in front of the dead guard's grave!"
Next.
The civil and military officials heard the emperor standing on top and lost their temper.
He scolded everyone until they couldn't hold their heads up.
Zhu Youde finally revealed his true purpose.
"I have decided to let the two factories in the east and west join forces with the Imperial Guard to thoroughly investigate the palace assassination case!"
"With such a thorough assassination plan, I don't believe these people are just civilian assassins. There must be important officials in the court!"
"I beg you to die for remonstrance!"
"Please tell me to pay back..."
As soon as the emperor said that he was going to release the three dogs, Dongxiuchang and Jinyiwei, all the officials below immediately knelt down without exception.
And many old officials are so excited that they want to resign from their posts!
In the early days when the late Emperor ascended the throne, he was extremely conniving with the East and West factories, leading to numerous unjust, false and wrong cases.
After being remonstrated by the officials, he repented and took back his rights.
In fact, more than ten years have passed, but all the older people still remember that horrible time!
Although many of the power of the Holy See today are controlled by three ministers who take care of life.
Without the strong support of the emperor, even if the three dogs were released, they would not be able to have the lawless arrogance they once had.
But the ministers don’t want to bet on this accident!
Zhu Youde took a deep breath and stayed calm.
Something that was already expected.
Although he really wanted to accept all the resignations and tell these dogs to get out!
But the reality is that developing talent takes time.
The beam, which has long been in danger due to internal and external troubles, cannot be messed up!
"If you are so opposed, then who will investigate this case so that I can rest assured?"
It depends on the emperor's attitude.
Many old ministers breathed a sigh of relief. If the emperor really messed up, they would have no choice but to resign and go home in order to protect themselves.
"Your Majesty can order the Ministry of Punishment, Dali Temple, Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the three departments to conduct a joint trial, and the truth will surely come to light!"
Zhang Shoufu came out to give advice.
His frank attitude of supporting the emperor's thorough investigation was as if he was not the mastermind behind the assassination at all.
"I'm not worried!"
"If the internal affairs are among the three divisions, how can we get to the bottom of it?"
All the ministers were questioned.
What the emperor just said was correct. Such a thorough assassination plan without the support of the court and the harem would be pure nonsense.
"Since you don't answer, then I and all your beloved ladies will each take a step back."
"Your Majesty, please make it clear."
"How about asking the West Factory to cooperate with the three divisions to jointly investigate the case and supervise each other?"
this……
"What? There are so many talented people in the three divisions who are the pillars of the country. You don't even have the confidence to supervise a few eunuchs?"
Although I know that the emperor is a provocateur.
But it’s true!
"I obey your decree!"
Bao Zhiyuan, Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, Shen Jiashi, Minister of Dali Temple, and Zhanyu, the censor of Zuodu of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, all came out to receive the emperor's orders.
Zhu Youde sneered.
Now that the dog has been released, do you think it can be locked back?
The time has just arrived.
Reminded by Wang Zhonghou, Zhu Youde once again resigned from the court on time.
The officials who were still concerned about Daliang shook their heads and sighed. They chanted the slogan "Hunjunjun" loudly, but this performance... is hopeless!
Down towards the back.
Zhu Youde came to Jinming Lake again. This time a huge stone tablet was erected by the lake, with names densely written on it.
"Wang Banban, have you given the list of donations from officials to Dongchang for copying?"
"Your Majesty, the East Factory has finished copying it and returned it to the West Factory."
"Okay. Do you know how to investigate this case?"
"The old slave is stupid."
Zhu Youde chuckled: "You are just trying to be clever with me, how can you be stupid? Just like your martial arts, when I think back to your vigorous movements in the past, I feel that I am stupid, but I never noticed it."
"Your Majesty is joking, this old slave just practiced in his spare time and accidentally became a master!"
"How about better than Wang Po?"
"It's not the old slave who is bragging, he can't do it!"
After finishing his little pride, Wang Zhonghou asked Zhu Youde flatteringly.
"Martial arts belongs to martial arts. How to investigate this case? I really need your Majesty's guidance."
"According to the name of the stone tablet from top to bottom, three or five of the core members of the Zhang Party and the most 'miserable' family members will be selected and slaughtered by me!"
"Why are you involved in the assassination case? I don't need to teach you, right?"
"Old slave, let's do it now!"
Wang Zhonghou took the order and left.
Zhu Youde looked at the stone tablet with fierce eyes.
Although the mastermind behind the scenes cannot be found, the assassination in the palace cannot be wasted.
Why not take this opportunity to pick a few fat pigs and slaughter them for the New Year! If you happen to meet the mastermind behind the scenes, it will be a double blessing!
It's a pity that we can't directly touch the treacherous and corrupt leader Zhang Shoufu, and his two sons who are leading troops abroad...
You can only boil the frog in warm water first.
then.
I went to court the next day.
Zhang Shoufu looked at his second assistant Fan Song:??
