Chapter 180 Wu Dinghou’s death penalty! Wu Dinghou’s lineage was deposed!
Wenyuan Pavilion!
"What!"
Ye Xianggao was stunned and couldn't believe his ears. He looked at Zhu Guozhen and said, "Zhao Tiejun took Duke Wei, Duke Ding, and Duke Ying into prison?"
Zhu Guozhen smiled bitterly: "Exactly!"
Ye Xianggao felt his teeth sore.
During this period of time, Zhang Haogu did not bother the Donglin Party. He turned his gun and pointed directly at the Xungui Group.
Now the meritorious group is really being thrown around.
"Zhang Haogu, I'm afraid he won't end well!" Ye Xianggao murmured to himself.
Zhu Guozhen also nodded: "This man has offended too many people. He has offended all the gentry in the world. In addition, among the officials, big and small, who has not been severely offended by him?
"
"This person is easy to break if he is too strong!"
Ye Xianggao slowly opened his mouth and said: "Now, it is nothing more than having a holy favor. As time goes by, the arrogance becomes stronger and stronger. Now I don't know how high the sky is and how high it is. Let him toss it around. Think about Liu Jin during the Wuzong period.
When Shenzong became emperor, which one of Zhang Taiyue did not hold great power, so what was the final result?"
No happy ending!
While the two were chatting, Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Punishment, quickly came to them: "Yuan Fu, Mr. Zhu Ge, the emperor just summoned me!"
"What's the matter?" Ye Xianggao asked.
Qiao Yunsheng said quickly: "The emperor wants to publicly interrogate Guo Peimin, and he must interrogate him in person. Let Zhao Tiejun, the commander of the Jinyi Guards, and I come to assist!"
Ye Xianggao took a deep breath: "This Zhang Haogu is really good at bewitching the emperor!"
Qiao Yunsheng couldn't help but said: "Mr. Ge, what should we do?"
"No problem!"
Ye Xianggao said coldly: "We just need to watch from the side. If Zhang Haogu wants to make a fuss, then let him make a fuss and let him continue to make trouble. At that time, we will speak out and hope that the emperor can let Wu Dinghou go."
!”
"If the emperor insists on killing, Zhang Haogu will have completely offended the meritorious service. If the emperor does not kill us, we can still make good use of the meritorious service. No matter what, Zhang Haogu's life will not be easy in the future!"
after fifteen days
Lobby of the Ministry of Justice
Zhu Youxiao was sitting in the main hall, Zhang Haogu, Han Lin, Zhao Tiejun, and Zhang Ruitu were sitting on the left side of the emperor. Qiao Yunsheng, the Minister of Punishment, Ye Xianggao, the first assistant of the cabinet, Han Xu, the second assistant, and Zhu Guozhen, the third assistant
Sit on the right side.
Guessing that all the people were here, Zhu Youxiao said slowly: "Okay, bring everyone here!"
Afterwards, a group of nobles were also brought up.
The faces of these nobles all turned pale. Although Zhang Haogu was strictly prohibited from abusing punishment, living in the imperial prison would obviously not lead a comfortable life.
At first, a group of people overturned the food very arrogantly, saying that even if I starve to death, I will never eat anything from you even if I jump from here.
Then, after a few hungry meals, I couldn’t stand it anymore.
Everyone felt that the food in the prison was actually sweet and delicious.
At this moment, when a group of people saw Zhu Youxiao, they immediately knelt down with a common voice: "Your Majesty, Zhang Haogu deceived you and ignored him. His crime deserves death. Please punish him severely!"
"Your Majesty, Zhang Haogu has insulted us, why do you ask Your Majesty to make the decision for us?"
"Your Majesty, when will this royal guard be able to arrest us at will? I have never been so humiliated!"
"I ask the emperor to kill Zhao Tiejun to calm the people!"
boom!
Zhu Youxiao clapped the gavel in his hand, and then said coldly: "It was me. I asked them to arrest you. I asked Zhao Tiejun to send you to prison. If you feel aggrieved, come and find you."
My trouble is over!"
The nobles were stunned.
There is something good about Zhu Youxiao.
Have the courage to take responsibility.
Seeing the chattering of the nobles, Zhu Youxiao was not polite at all and said coldly: "Look at you, your ancestors also galloped on the battlefield and were wrapped in horse leather. How come they are here with you?
Not as good as the previous generation? Everyone is crying like a mourner. If you don’t think it’s embarrassing, I still think it’s embarrassing!”
Zhu Youxiao's anger immediately made the group of people shut up obediently.
Everyone just looked at Zhang Haogu and was filled with hatred.
He didn't dare to vent his anger on the Dog Emperor, but he dared to vent his anger on Zhang Haogu. The next one was Zhao Tiejun.
"Today, I will judge Wu Dinghou!" Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "You are just waiting and watching. If you dare to disturb the court, you will go to jail for a year and a half!"
Afterwards, Wuding Marquis Guo Peimin, who was handcuffed and shackled, was brought to the court.
"Guilty minister, Guo Peimin comes to see the emperor!"
Guo Peimin knelt on the ground. In the past half month, he had indeed been tempered by the imprisonment, and he had long lost his unruliness.
Without the strength of your ancestor Guo Ying, how dare you be so arrogant?
"Guo Peimin!" Zhu Youxiao said coldly: "Today you are being interrogated. You have to give an honest explanation. I will give you a chance to defend yourself!"
Later, Zhu Youxiao opened the thick file.
The emperor personally interrogated.
Although Wu Dinghou Guo Peimin was not tortured, there were some crimes that Guo Peimin simply could not get away with.
Those who set fire to the granary were all Guo Peimin's servants, and Guo An had done countless immoral things for Guo Peimin.
This interrogation was not just about interrogating Wuding Marquis Guo Peimin for his crimes of reselling grain, driving up grain prices, and even setting fire to granaries. There were other crimes as well.
Seeking profit and abandoning justice, he occupied people's fields and raped women. In addition, he opened a casino and let his thugs come to collect debts and even force people to gamble.
All kinds of crimes, a series of crimes were openly displayed in front of everyone.
It was not until the evening that Zhu Youxiao calmed down, but the murderous intent in his eyes became more and more intense: "Guo Peimin, please plead guilty!"
Guo Peimin trembled and knelt in front of Zhu Youxiao: "Guilty minister, plead guilty!"
"Okay, okay!" Zhu Youxiao laughed, looked at Guo Peimin and said: "You should confess your sins properly. Your sins are too numerous to describe. The achievements of the Ming Dynasty and the virtues of your ancestors, how did it end up on you? It's all like this
Are you waiting for something embarrassing?"
Guo Peimin just trembled: "Your Majesty, I, I, deserve to die, I will die, I, I..."
"Okay, you said you were dead!"
Zhu Youxiao smiled. Although he was smiling, his eyes were radiating cold murderous intent: "For your sins, if I don't kill you, God will also destroy you. It is decreed that Wuding Hou Guo Peimin will be punished with death. Wuding Hou's lineage,
Deposed Lord!"
"What?" Guo Peimin suddenly felt his head banging, and his whole body fell to the ground with a plop.
