"Zhou Ji rumored that Wu King Zhu Yunxi defeated his mother, his father, and his ancestors..."
Zhou Dexing's hands, which had killed countless people in his life, began to tremble violently.
Foreign ministers befriending people in the palace and having illicit affairs with palace maids is already a serious crime of confiscating the family and exterminating the family, not to mention that it also involves the privacy of the royal family and mixes it with the emperor's grandson.
Zhou Dexing couldn't read any more and shouted sternly, "This is a trap, I'm going to the emperor to get a copy of your book!" After saying that, he turned around and shouted to the servant in the distance, "We're going to the palace to meet the emperor and wait for him to change his clothes!
"
"Master Marquis, the Emperor will not see you!" He Guangyi said.
"Nonsense! We are the emperor's fellow villagers, old friends who have been through life and death together. We don't even need to kneel before you!" Zhou Dexing said angrily, "Da Ming will be torn apart by you treacherous officials sooner or later! I want to face you Shengshen."
After saying that, he roared again, "You've bullied us, don't you see who we are?"
Whenever people are in panic, they will use cruelty to cover up their inner panic. Although Zhou Dexing had a status in the Ming Dynasty, no matter how high he was, he could not be higher than Li Shanchang.
At this time, he was already panicking.
"Your Majesty's Oral Order!" He Guangyi stood upright and said solemnly.
The angry Zhou Dexing was stunned at first, then bowed slightly and stood with his hands lowered, "My lord, Zhou Dexing is listening!"
The emperor's oral instructions mentioned by He Guangyi were what Zhu Yuanzhang told him and asked him to say.
"Let me ask you, do you know that your son was instigated by Crown Princess Lu to spread rumors in the palace that his father and mother were killed?"
Zhou Dexing's teeth chattered, "Chen, I don't know!"
"In July, your daughter-in-law went to the palace to meet the Crown Princess and brought back a letter. Did you read it?"
Zhou Dexing's hands and feet suddenly felt cold, "I read it, but it's just a common occurrence..." He couldn't continue. The princess wrote privately to the generals' in-laws, which had already violated the emperor's taboo.
Moreover, in that letter, every line contained the Crown Princess's efforts to win over the Zhou family, as well as various promises for the future.
He did not know that Zhou Ji had an affair with a palace maid and spread rumors, but his son sided with Zhu Yunwen, the Lu family, with his tacit approval. Even in his heart, he had thought that if Zhu Yunwen came to power, his Zhou family could continue to be rich.
But the letter had been burned and nothing was left. How did the emperor know? Could it be?
Thinking of this, Zhou Dexing raised his head in horror.
He Guangyi showed no expression and said slowly, "Master Marquis, your eldest son has been imprisoned in prison!"
Zhou Dexing's eyes instantly fell on the opponent's hand, which still had blood on it. That should be the blood of his son. His son was tortured in prison and tortured.
He knew very well what kind of place the prison was. Not to mention that there was such a thing, even if it wasn't, under the torture of those Jinyi guards, they could make up anything.
The two cases of Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong involved tens of thousands of people. This is how it came about.
"Impossible!" Zhou Dexing muttered, feeling a little unwilling in his heart.
He Guangyi took a step forward and whispered, "Last night, the princess died!" (meaning to die)
Oops, Zhou Dexing could no longer stand steadily, his legs gave way and he fell down, and his arms knocked down the porcelain on the table.
"Woof!" The poodle was frightened and yelled at He Guangyi.
"We want to see the Emperor, and we have something to say to the Emperor!" Zhou Dexing muttered with dull eyes.
The princess was dead, which showed how furious the emperor was. He had known the emperor all his life, so he felt that there should still be hope for life.
"Your Majesty said, I won't see you!" He Guangyi said calmly, "However, Your Majesty still has something to tell you!"
"What are you talking about?" Zhou Dexing grabbed the life-saving straw.
"You have known us all your life and fought with us all your life. You don't know our temper. We can tolerate other things. Over the years, you have allowed your domestic slaves to sell smuggled salt and iron, tortured miners and farmers, and embezzled
You have received more than a dozen memorials from your landowners, but we have tolerated you."
"But in this matter, you are stabbing our hearts. Inciting our grandchildren to fight among themselves? You also have children and grandchildren. Are you wondering if this is the truth?"
"You are our old friend, but we are not dead yet, and we are looking for a new master. Are you worthy of us? You are unkind, unfaithful and disrespectful both in public and private matters."
"If it were anyone else, I wouldn't have said this and just kill everyone in the family. But we would like to remember our friendship back then and give you some dignity. You can settle it yourself and have some dignity. I'll leave a seed for your Zhou family and make you a rich man."
!”
He Guangyi finished speaking in one breath, and Zhou Dexing was as soft as mud.
"Old Marquis!" He Guangyi took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and slowly poured the powder inside into the wine cup on the table. "I will send you on your way. Pure Heding Red, you will suffer even if you are older."
Not!"
The warrior who was killed in the sea of blood and corpses looked at the blue and white porcelain wine cup with fear in his eyes. His old head kept shaking and his whole body trembled.
"We, we want to see the emperor, we are from the same hometown!"
"Master Marquis, your Majesty also told me a few words!" He Guangyi squatted down with a wine cup, "Your Majesty said, you were also very good back then. You were a fierce general with one man, one horse and one sword, who entered and exited the army seven times.
.For those men who didn’t say anything even if their heads fell off when they were young, don’t embarrass yourself in front of your juniors when you get older.”
As he spoke, he raised his glass and said, "Master Marquis, please go with dignity!"
If you want your minister to die, you must die. The images of swords and swords flashing in your mind, but you can't catch any freeze.
Zhou Dexing stretched out his hand tremblingly, but he couldn't grasp the wine cup.
"Master Hou, this junior is offended!" After He Guangyi finished speaking, he poured the wine directly into Zhou Dexing's mouth.
"Master!" The servants of the Zhou family exclaimed and were about to step forward.
However, suddenly there were sonorous footsteps behind him, and teams of uniformed guards rushed in.
"The Jin Yiwei are on their knees when they are on an errand!" He Guangyi stood up, frowned and shouted.
"Master!" the Zhou family cried, kneeling on the ground tremblingly.
Zhou Dexing's body leaned against the table and began to twitch. His eyes were full of wolf-like and tiger-like guards in uniform and his crying family members.
Someone broke into the study, and his children and grandchildren were roughly dragged out of the room. An object fell from the hands of Jin Yiwei who was carrying things. It was the crown he wore when he became a marquis.
Suddenly, a stream of blood flowed from his nose, and Zhou Dexing's body remained motionless. He was born with nothing in his life, and he still had nothing when he died.
"Check carefully to see if there are any prohibited items, and don't touch the Zhou family's belongings."
He Guangyi stood in the courtyard and shouted coldly, "According to the imperial edict, Zhou Ji, Zhou Dexing's son, Zhou Chi, and their family members will be arrested immediately."
In a panic, with the woman crying, most of the Zhou family members were taken away. The luxurious Marquis Mansion of Nuo Da was now in a mess.
He Guangyi looked at Zhou Dexing's youngest son, who was still sixteen and unmarried, kneeling on the ground and said.
"You will live a good life from now on, and the Emperor will have a decree for you tomorrow!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and said, "Take them all away!"
All the adult members of the Zhou family were taken away, leaving only Zhou Dexing's youngest son, crying silently.
"Woof woof!" Unexpectedly, a poodle surrounding Zhou Dexing suddenly started to bite He Guangyi angrily.
"Woo!" A whimpering scream.
He Guangyi flicked off the dust from his trousers, looked at the kicked poodle, and sneered, "It's just a dog!"

According to "Records of Taizu", in August of the 20th year of Hongwu, the Crown Princess Lü and the Marquis of Jiangxia plotted against the King of Wu, and the Emperor was furious.
The two sons of Zhou Dexing, Marquis of Jiangxia, together with their wives, were killed and expelled. The things given by the emperor over the years were recovered, and the farmsteads, mines and forests were recovered.
The Crown Princess Lu died in fear of the crime, and all eighty-two members of the Lu family were killed.
There were more than 1,300 maids, eunuchs, and servants involved in the palace, and they were all sentenced to death.
