"Da Ming Zhengde Emperor Novels ( Find the latest chapter!

Zhu Houzhao looked at the civil and military officials who were kneeling down with a livid face. The reform of this cabinet was obviously promoted and supported by himself. Do they even want their lives for the sake of a clear reputation?

Besides, the bandits made trouble this time, to put it bluntly, they slapped themselves in the face. This face, as the king of a country, is to be fought back. Even if there are internal thieves in the court, this time, it must not be taken lightly.

This is a matter of principle, but Liu Jian et al. are not without problems.

Zhu Houzhao felt that this Ming Dynasty was originally their world, and it was a big deal to kill a group of officials and bring another group up. Anyway, this principle issue should not be touched.

Coincidentally, the imperial examinations that will start soon will use this as the subject to recruit scholars from all over the world.

Zhu Houzhao thought so, but he did not say so.

The minister of the household, Liang Chu, who was kneeling below, was already dripping with cold sweat. He was worried that it was not the officials who impeached him. He was in such a high position, and he had already put his life and death aside. Doing something for the common people is worthy of this country.

On the contrary, what he was worried about was that Zhu Houzhao couldn't withstand the pressure of those censors. If this was the case, then the reforms they implemented would fall short.

In this way, not only the hard work of more than half a year is wasted, but more importantly, Daming's treasury should be temporarily empty. If the country needs money urgently, I am afraid that it will not be able to come up with so much money. This is a mistake in his job!

"Where is Jinyiwei?" Zhu Houzhao suddenly called out Jinyiwei, a right he rarely used in the DPRK.

Hearing this, Shen Lian hurried out of the queue, walked over, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, my minister, Shen Lian, listen to His Majesty's orders!"

"Well, you are reciting the situation you have seen in the past few days on this hall, let everyone listen, and we will deal with it one by one!"

"According to the order!"

After Shen Lian finished speaking, he took out an account from his sleeve and recited it in the center of the hall: "Three days ago, at Zi Shi, the left censor Zhang Tianqing of the censor station quietly came to the back door to take a black package with 30,000 taels of silver in it. , 2,000 taels of silver, all hidden in the stove in his home."

"Two days ago, Wang Jie, the servant of Zhan Shifu of the Censor's Office, sent 30,000 taels of silver in a filthy car, under the guise of pumping feces, and sent it to Rufu's house. Now it is hidden in the backyard."

"..."

As Shen Lian reported the accounts one by one, the officials of the Censor Terrace all turned pale, and they knelt there tremblingly.

The arrogance filled with righteous indignation at the time of the impeachment just now has long since vanished.

What they didn't expect one by one was that on the surface, it seemed to be seamless, but they didn't expect to be closely watched by Jin Yiwei.

At the same time, some of the high-ranking ministers in the court were also angry.

They did not expect that the dignified censor's office would dare to do these shameful deeds.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, spare your life!"

"When the ministers are convicted, it is because the ministers are greedy for profit, and they are fascinated by the money. Your Majesty, please give the ministers a chance to wait..."

The three officials at the Censor's Office kneeled down on the ground in fear, kowtowing like pounding garlic.

At this moment, they are really afraid.

Before, they relied on the censor's desk, and they were sure that His Majesty would not do anything to them. They were not afraid in their hearts until the **** head was presented.

However, everyone has a fluke mentality, and they are lucky at this time.

The Ming court has always kept the habit of not killing the civil servants who speak up in justice. If there is a censor who speaks up in justice and is ordered to be killed by the emperor, the emperor will bear the name of a foolish monarch.

Therefore, they have no scruples, but it is this, they can take this opportunity to make a name for themselves, and their name will last forever.

However, this corruption and bribery matter, I am afraid that it will not be clear for a while.

Even if they can say it again, even if they say a hole in the sky, they will not be blamed.

"Humph!" Zhu Houzhao sneered.

"Aiqings, do you know who gave them the money?"

Zhu Houzhao looked around the ministers and saw that they were all kneeling there, no one raised their heads, and the entire Golden Palace was extremely quiet.

"I tell you, it's the merchants who drive up prices who give them money!"

"I asked you to do business in a serious manner, but you use it to do these stupid things."

"Come on!"

"Drag them all out and kill them with a stick!"

Soon, several guards who were holding the door came in and dragged the three civil servants from the Imperial Palace out of the Golden Palace.

When many censors saw it, they instantly collapsed on the ground.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Your Majesty!"

"Your Majesty, for the sake of serving you for many years, bypass us!"

"His Majesty!..."

No matter how they called, Zhu Houzhao never changed his words.

From time to time, screams came from outside the hall...

On the Golden Palace, all the civil and military officials knelt there tremblingly, and could not even hear the loud voice.

In the hall, the censors' screams resounded for a long time, and with each shout, the bodies of the ministers were shaking.

This time, Zhu Houzhao made up his mind. He knew that some ministers in the court were dissatisfied with him, because he was an only son and had not experienced the struggle for the throne, so he did not know what the emperor should do.

In fact, the emperor's career looks infinitely beautiful, but in fact the inner pressure is much higher than that of ordinary people. It is no wonder that so many emperors are short-lived people and have a certain relationship with the pressure of survival.

Especially for these emperors of the Ming Dynasty, in Zhu Houzhao's view, one of the reasons why they moved into the Hall of Mental Cultivation after ascending the throne was due to the issue of feng shui.

Just when all the ministers were kneeling and waiting for Zhu Houzhao's lectures, they heard Zhu Houzhao's **** standing in the Golden Palace and shouting loudly, "Xuan Cao Zhengchun enters the temple!"

Soon, a few voices passed out, and a slightly vicissitudes figure appeared at the door of the Golden Palace.

The ministers knew that Zhu Houzhao's use of the people from the West Factory would definitely not do anything good.

Not long after, Cao Zhengchun walked into the main hall, and after bowing to Zhu Houzhao, he stood aside.

"Cao Zhengchun, I asked you to secretly investigate the matter of price gouging merchants. How is the progress?"

Cao Zhengchun hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I have already investigated it clearly." After speaking, he took out a memorial from his sleeve, bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said, "Your Majesty, this time, a total of 250 merchants who were driving prices were arrested. All four of them have been arrested and brought to justice, and they are being held in Xichang prison."

After Cao Zhengchun finished speaking, some of the courtiers who were kneeling began to be unable to kneel again, but now is the time to test their will.

However, cold sweat was seeping out of some people's backs, soaking their clothes.

After listening to it, Zhu Houzhao nodded with satisfaction and said, "Record all their confessions in the book, and then send them all to Caishikou for questioning."

"Where is Liang Chu, Minister of Works?"

Liang Chu was already kneeling there~www.novelbuddy.com~ his legs were a little numb. Most of the affairs in today's government are related to him. I don't know if His Majesty called him at this time.

I saw him tremblingly crawled over, cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, the minister Liang Chu is waiting for His Majesty's orders!"

"I ordered you to be executed for this crime, and when the West Factory has dealt with it, you can go to prison for beheading!"

When Liang Chu heard this, his scalp was a little numb. He had been a civil official all his life. Although he had ordered people to be killed, he had never executed a prisoner. This was really embarrassing himself.

But this is His Majesty's order, can it be different?

"The minister obeys the order!"

After speaking, Liang Chu returned to the court class.
