Daming Jingtai: I am the eternal benevolent king Chapter 78: Chop first and ask questions later! Do you really use imperial edicts to govern the country? Interfering with the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
Chapter 78: Chop first and ask questions later! Do you really use imperial edicts to govern the country? Interfering with the Metropolitan Procuratorate!
Chen Ding saw the master lying on the ground with something stuffed in his mouth, and his body couldn't stop trembling.
Glancing at Chen Ding, Zhu Qiyu lowered his head and glanced at his dragon robe. His eyes flashed and he saw that Chen Ding was wearing fine silk woven clothes, wrist ornaments and jade talons on his hands, which was dazzling. Look at his dragon robe again.
I have been wearing this robe for more than a year and I don’t want to change it for a new one!
"Chen Ding, do you know him?" Zhu Qiyu was too lazy to talk nonsense and pointed at Zhang Min and asked.
Chen Ding knelt down after saluting. As the housekeeper of the first assistant's family, he had a high level of vision and intelligence. He glanced at Zhang Min and shook his head.
"You don't know him either?" Zhu Qiyu asked Zhang Min again.
"Return to Your Majesty, I don't know you." Zhang Min shook his head.
"You don't even know me? Haha!"
Zhu Qiyu slowly walked down the steps, Fan Guang followed him closely, and said quietly: "It seems that Xiang Sibao is lying?"
"Ah!"
Before he finished speaking, Zhang Min suddenly screamed!
There was a blood mark as wide as a sword blade on his face, and blood flowed from his mouth.
Zhu Qiyu slapped his face with the blade of his sword! Fast and hard!
"Say it again!"
Zhang Min's mouth hurt terribly, and she trembled: "I really haven't seen you..."
Snap!
Zhu Qiyu slapped his sword again, just on the left cheek, this time on the right cheek, symmetrically!
Zhang Min was so painful that she touched her face, and her face was in burning pain. When she touched it again, a tooth actually fell out.
"Your Majesty, don't give in and give in!" Ma Ang, the right deputy governor of the capital, stood up and remonstrated.
"I am teaching my slave, do you need to interrupt me?"
Zhu Qiyu raised his sword and glanced at Ma Ang, then looked at Zhu Jianshen: "Prince, can I control your slaves for you?"
Zhu Jianshen's body trembled and he cried: "I have no objection."
Snap!
Zhu Qiyu turned back and struck Zhang Min in the face with his sword, and then asked Ma Ang: "Ma Ang, is this a trick of subjugation?"
Ma Ang curled his lips: "This..."
He is Party Chen, and he stands up to give regular advice. If the emperor doesn't listen, forget it.
Unexpectedly, the emperor took advantage of the situation and pointed the finger at him.
"What is this? You want to protect your master, Chen Xun, don't you?"
Zhu Qiyu stared at him: "I remember, you were recommended by Chen Xun in the first place!"
"No wonder you are so loyal to protect the Lord! You treat me like nothing!"
"But you are the censor appointed by me! I am the leader of the world! Not Chen Xun!"
"Ma Ang, I ask you, your leader is suspected of murdering me. What crime are you guilty of?"
"Huh?"
"Humph, I didn't ask you to settle a score. You should just hide it, but you dare to show your debt!"
"It's just that I was too kind and spoiled you!"
"Come here! Take off his official uniform!"
"Bring me here!"
"Trial with them!"
Zhu Qiyu is about to liquidate Chen Dang.
Ma Ang came out on his own, which was equivalent to handing the knife handle to the emperor.
"Your Majesty, there is no precedent for anyone being punished for speaking out. I am just admonishing Your Majesty. Why is Your Majesty humiliating me? There is no need for the eunuch to strip me of my official robe. I will do it myself!"
Ma Ang looked upright, took off his official robe, folded it respectfully, placed it on the ground, and kowtowed to the official robe.
Then he straightened up and glared at the emperor: "Your Majesty, Taizu ruled the country by law, and you were convicted for your words. I am dissatisfied! If your Majesty has evidence that I participated in the murder, I will die without complaint!"
As a censor, he was not afraid of being punished by the emperor.
"According to Deputy Ambassador Ma, the country should be governed by imperial edicts?" Zhu Qiyu said coldly and quietly.
Ma Ang's momentum weakened.
Bang!
Zhu Qiyu kicked Ma Ang over and roared:
"You still have the nerve to mention Taizu?"
"If I really rule the country with great imperial edicts!"
"You all deserve to be killed!"
"Humph!"
"The ancestral system! If the ancestral system is really moved out, who of you can save your head? Who can save the nine tribes!"
"It's just that I am lenient and don't care about you guys!"
"You still dare to use Taizu to oppress me from time to time!"
"If Taizu had opened his eyes, he would have killed all nine of your tribes long ago!"
"Let me ask, who of you dares to bargain with Taizu? Who dares to yell at Taizong?"
"Only I am a weak persimmon in your eyes!"
“Even if I teach a domestic slave, I’m being criticized!”
The courtiers lowered their heads, isn't it just to prevent the emergence of emperors like Taizu and Taizong? We are trying our best to put you in a cage.
But no one dared to touch the emperor’s brow.
"Ma Ang! The Metropolitan Procuratorate! I ask you! I asked you to investigate the family members of the criminals! The proceeds from the confiscation of the house! What did you find? How long did it take? Nothing was found!"
"Start at me every day and step on me to become famous!"
"Take my kindness as your capital to gain fame and reputation!"
"I see that you are so idle every day!"
"Starting from now on! Each censor in the capital will write three memorials every day, one about me, one about the officials in the capital, and one about the common people in the capital!"
"Three books a day, and no one is allowed to miss one. No one is allowed to plagiarize or learn from each other. What is said must be meaningful and sustained."
"Each book has more than a thousand words. I have to read it every day. Those who are missing, missing, or poorly written will be sent back by me. I will write double the next day, four times the third day, and so on. Delay
For more than half a month, you will be dismissed from your post, canceled Yinzi, imperial examination and other opportunities!"
With a bang, the Metropolitan Procuratorate officials immediately exploded.
The emperor wants to silence their mouths and let them die from exhaustion in the report.
"Cabinet, do you have any opinions?" Zhu Qiyu asked in a pretentious manner.
"The ministers have no objections, and they are dedicated to correcting and impeaching hundreds of officials, clarifying the injustice, supervising the various departments, and serving the emperor's ears, eyes, and morals. This is exactly what a censor should do."
"So I believe that your Majesty's move will be of great benefit to the country and the court!"
"On behalf of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, I would like to thank Your Majesty for your kindness!"
Lin Cong immediately came out to flatter the emperor. If he wanted to be the chief minister, he had to follow the emperor's footsteps.
Wang Wen and He Wenyuan came out to echo.
The Metropolitan Procuratorate is feeling uncomfortable. The problem is that neither the left censor nor the right censor are in the capital. Ma Ang, the right deputy censor, is being held accountable by the emperor, and no one speaks for them at all.
Wang Hong tried his best to wink at Wang Zhi and Li Xian, but the two of them wanted to find dirt to bury themselves.
Didn't you see that the emperor was going to deal with Chen Xun? It's better not to hit the gun at this time.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Your Majesty!"
Wang Hong really had no choice but to do it himself.
But before he finished speaking, Zhu Qiyu waved his hand: "Ma Ang, the right deputy capital censor, is very selfish, has entanglements with Chen Xun, and is involved in conspiracy. I want to promote you, Wang Yushi, to the left deputy capital censor to fill the vacancy; Yang Xuan, Wei
Han and Zhang Peng are quite talented, so they should be promoted to the right deputy censor of the capital."
Wang Hong suddenly lost his temper. The emperor gave him a big pie, and Yang Xuan, Wei Han, and Zhang Peng were all bribed with their official positions.
The emperor used his official position in exchange for the support of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
As for the three memorials, they are just representatives of the imperial power. Whether to hand them over or not depends solely on the emperor's wishes.
Got it.
"Your Majesty, I am waiting for your kindness!" Wang Hong dared to speak, but he was not stupid.
He is not one of Chen Xun's people, and he doesn't care whether Chen Xun dies or not. The key is that the chips offered by the emperor are big enough, and he would be a bastard if he doesn't take advantage.
Yang Xuan, Wei Han, and Zhang Peng were promoted to several levels in a row, so they naturally knelt down to thank them.
Ma Ang's mouth was full of bitterness. He should have known better than to get involved. This time, there was really no one to speak for him.
"Zhang Min, you are very popular, even the censors speak for you!"
After dealing with the censor, Zhu Qiyu looked at Zhang Min again: "You still said that he has no personal relationships with the court officials?"
Snap!
Zhu Qiyu drew his sword, but failed.
"How dare you hide? How dare you hide when I hit you?" Zhu Qiyu was furious.
What Zhang Min avoided unconsciously was completely subconscious.
The next moment, he screamed: "Ah!"
Zhu Qiyu struck him on the shoulder with his sword, then pulled the sword away, leaving a bloody gash. Zhang Min screamed in agony.
"Shut up!" Zhu Qiyu raised his sword and stared at him.
Zhang Min shivered and closed her mouth, her expression twisted, it was really painful.
"I ask you, why did you hide just now?" Zhu Qiyu's chest heaved with anger. Is this damn house slave trying to make me look embarrassed?
It's completely subconscious.
Zhang Min did not dare to speak and kowtowed desperately, begging the emperor for forgiveness.
"Tell me, do you know him?" Zhu Qiyu raised his sword again and pointed it at Chen Ding.
The blood on the sword was blown to his face by the wind.
The cold blood drops came from his body!
Zhang Min cried bitterly. He had imagined countless times before how brave he would be after being caught by the emperor, because he was not afraid of death.
But he was really about to die, and when the sword came upon him, he realized how scared he was.
"I know you, this slave!" Zhang Min spat.
Zhu Jianshen's eyes widened suddenly!
Damn Zhang Min, why are you so weak-minded! Why don’t you sell me! I know that eunuchs are the most untrustworthy!
Chen Ding glanced at Chen Xun in horror, what should I do!
"We really know each other? I didn't force you!" Zhu Qiyu hadn't had enough fun, why did Zhang Min spit out.
More importantly, if you don’t kill people, how can you establish your authority?
"We really know each other, we really know each other! It has nothing to do with His Majesty!" Zhang Min shivered in fear when he saw the bright sword edge about to cut down again.
So he decided to say whatever he asked as long as it didn't hurt.
He is afraid of pain.
"Then when I asked you just now, why did you say you didn't know me? How dare you lie to me?"
Zhu Qiyu was furious, and his sword fell down.
Click!
Zhang Min was hit by a sword on his other shoulder. He was lying on the ground, his hands hanging down, and blood was constantly flowing from his shoulder.
Your Majesty, my servant has admitted it, why do you still want to kill me?
The black lines on the foreheads of Hu Xi and other courtiers were beating.
The emperor just wanted to vent his anger and wanted to chop him. Forget it, just chop the eunuchs instead of the courtiers.
He closed his eyes and pretended he saw nothing.
"Tell me, why do we know each other? How do we know each other? And why do we know each other?" Zhu Qiyu exhaled a turbid breath. He felt uncomfortable and his obsessive-compulsive disorder couldn't bear this.
"Slave..."
Zhang Min glanced at Zhu Jianshen in horror, gritted his teeth and said, "I am ordered to contact him."
"Whose order?" Zhu Qiyu asked him, holding his sword.
Zhang Min hesitated again and again, and finally said with despair on his face: "Prince!"
"Why did you contact him?" Zhu Qiyu asked again.
"My slave doesn't know either. Every time there is an exchange of letters, my slave is responsible for delivering them to the palace gate, and Chen Ding is responsible for taking them away." Zhang Min told everything he knew.
The courtiers all looked at Chen Xun. They didn’t say whether they were going to kill His Majesty. They only said that it was a capital crime for a courtier to have a personal relationship with the prince!
Chen Xun struggled hard to explain, but his mouth was stuffed with cloth and he was watched by two eunuchs. His eyes were full of longing, hoping that the courtiers would help him speak and give him a chance to explain.
"If Chen Ding still refuses to say anything, someone will chop off his feet first!" Zhu Qiyu said coldly.
"I will obey the order!"
Pu Zhang strode over, respectfully asked for the emperor's sword, and took it to chop Chen Ding.
"No! No, I say, I say!" Chen Ding sat on the ground and backed away, with a look of horror on his face.
Click!
Pu Zhangcai didn't listen to his nonsense and struck down with his sword.
But the force of the sword is too weak and it can't break the leg bones.
Blood spurted out, causing Chen Ding to urinate in pain. He wanted to explain, why did the emperor still kill him?
Click! Click! Click!
Amid Chen Ding's screams, Pu Zhang kept swinging his sword, finally breaking the leg bone and cutting off the foot bit by bit!
Chen Ding looked at the leg without a foot in horror and screamed miserably.
The scene was bloody and terrifying, and the courtiers looked horrified. They all lowered their heads, not daring to look or plead for him.
"Tell him to shut up!" Zhu Qiyu said coldly.
Snap!
Pu Zhang struck Chen Ding in the face with his sword.
He was so powerful that he knocked out all of Chen Ding's teeth with one sword stroke.
Chen Ding couldn't even scream anymore.
Fengtian Square is finally quiet.
Zhang Min was panicked. Compared with Chen Ding, he was really lucky. He was only chopped twice and his arms and legs were still there.
"Slave, your blood has stained His Majesty's sword!" Pu Zhang spat in his face, feeling very distressed when he saw several gaps on the Emperor's sword.
"I'm asking you!"
Zhu Qiyu stared at Chen Ding: "Have you received the letter sent by Zhang Min from the palace?"
Chen Ding just cried but didn't reply.
Pu Zhang suddenly stepped on his other leg, intending to chop him.
"Take it! Take it!" Chen Ding shouted in fear.
"When was the last time you received a letter?" Zhu Qiyu asked Pu Zhang to let go of him.
Chen Ding hugged the intact leg and cried non-stop: "Yesterday, last night!"
Wow!
There was an uproar in Fengtian Square, and the officials were talking a lot.
Did Chen Xun really try to assassinate the emperor?
Hu Xi opened her eyes suddenly and glared at Chen Xun.
"Your Majesty, the chief assistant participated in the murder of your Majesty. There is complete evidence. Please punish Chen Xun!" Wang Hong was the first to kneel on the ground and reciprocate the favor.
When the emperor rewarded him with an official position, he moved closer to the emperor.
Yang Xuan waited for the censor to catch up and scolded Chen Xun bloody.
The corners of Zhu Qiyu's lips curled up. This is the beauty of imperial power. He can appoint officials, and only then will the officials be obedient. There will be fights, but at least they are obedient.
In the past, he had nothing. Which official would be willing to speak for him?
But today is different from the past. Anyone with a discerning eye can see clearly that Chen Xun's downfall is inevitable. The position of chief assistant will be vacant, and Wang Wen and Lin Cong will definitely be the ones to take the top spot.
These two people are both the emperor's dogs. The imperial power is expanding in the cabinet, and Wang Zhi and Li Xian are in decline.
When the Chen Party collapses, the emperor will definitely take the opportunity to win over many people.
Looking at the emperor's failure to deal with Ma Ang, we know that the emperor wants to win over Chen Dang for his own use. It depends on whether Chen Dang is willing to get closer to the emperor.
"Chen Xun, what else do you have to say?" Zhu Qiyu stared at Chen Xun with burning eyes.
As for Zhu Jianshen, he has always held it in his hand, and he can deal with it at any time. The top priority is to strike while the iron is hot, kill Chen Xun, and dismantle the Chen Party!
Chen Xun shed tears, whining and wanting to speak, but his mouth was blocked and he couldn't.
He got up with difficulty, knelt down in the middle, and kept kowtowing.
Zhu Qiyu just wanted to stab him to death and be done with it.
But Hu Xi said: "Your Majesty, there may be something hidden inside. Please give Chen Shoufu a chance to defend himself!"
Where do you stand?
Zhu Qiyu's face showed a fierce look: "What else can I explain? Drag him out and chop him!"
Xu Gan called on the eunuchs of Du Zhijian to take action.
"Your Majesty, please wait!"
When Hu Hu saw Chen Xun struggling, she knew there must be something hidden inside.
The emperor no longer made a hole, but opened a corner of the cage, and the sword in his hand was already stretched out.
If Chen Xun dies and the Chen Party collapses, I’m afraid Hu Ming won’t be able to contain the emperor!
So Hu Hu tried his best to stop it. If Chen Xun really killed His Majesty, his death would be excusable. The problem is that this assassination was obviously directed and staged by the emperor, and Chen Xun was forced to be included.
Hu Hui always believed that when the Beijing camp went out to fight, the emperor would be in an absolutely weak position.
So he turned to the emperor to balance the power between the emperor and Chen Xun and make the court stable.
But he never expected that the departure of the capital camp would provide the emperor with an opportunity. He took the opportunity to take control of the palace and locked up the courtiers in Fengtian Palace, trying to unjustly kill Chen Xun, disintegrate Chen's party, and take the opportunity to take back the imperial power.
This is something Hu Xi will never allow!
The balance between the emperor and Chen Xun must be maintained until Yu Qian comes back!
"Your Majesty, Chen Shoufu has worked hard and achieved great results. Even if he wants to kill, the evidence must be conclusive. He must not kill just because he wants to. If the court is in turmoil and the subjects are dissatisfied, the veteran is worried about the country!"
Hu Xi’s words are very serious.
Even threatening the emperor.
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold, Hu Hui, Hu Hui, in order to keep Chen Xun, you are threatening me!
It’s nothing more than a handle on me!
Use this to threaten me, right?
What if I kill you? Even the evidence disappears?
Hu Hui looked at him without fear, as if telling the emperor, without veterans, no one can prove your legitimacy!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes flashed: "That's all, these are all things with solid evidence. Let's give Chen Xun a chance to defend himself, so that the people in the world will not think that I killed Chen Xun unjustly! Let him say it!"
His fists clenched loudly!
When I eradicate Chen Xun, you, Hu Hu, will be next!
Hu Hui sat still like an old monk, not caring what the emperor thought. He had gone through five dynasties, what kind of situation had he never encountered?
The cloth from Chen Xun's mouth was taken off. There was blood in his mouth. He crawled over and knelt on the ground, crying like rain:
"Your Majesty, I have been wronged!"
"I've killed my old minister unjustly!"
"The old minister did communicate with the prince privately, but how could your majesty not ask about the content of the letter? Then accuse the old minister of treason?"
"Your Majesty scolded the old minister, but the old minister did not dare to argue."
"But if I have never done anything, I will never bear the infamy!"
I kept shouting about grievances without saying a single useful word!
Zhu Qiyu's eyes were cold: "Just tell me if you have any grievances! I don't have time to play riddles with you!"
"Chen Xun, my patience is limited!"
"Come here, bring Chen Ying and Chen Shan!"
"Chen Xun, if you keep talking nonsense, I will cut off their parts!"
