Hu Ming stepped forward, and Zhu Houzhao took a step back almost subconsciously. Looking at Hu Ming with an excited face, and then looking at Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji and others with stern expressions, Zhu Houzhao felt a rage burning in his heart.
Under the sleeves of his robe, Zhu Houzhao clenched his fists and stood there. For a while, Zhu Houzhao let out a long sigh, his eyes fell on Liu Jin and said in a hoarse voice: "Liu Jin caused chaos in the imperial court, causing Zhu Chixiu and others in the border town to rebel, with evil intentions. People All the stolen goods have been harvested, it is really a heinous crime, special order..."
At this moment, Hu Ming and others were listening to Zhu Houzhao's words, and their faces showed excitement. Hu Ming even stroked his beard and looked at Zhu Houzhao and said: "Your Majesty, Liu Jin should be cut into pieces with a thousand swords as a warning to those who come after him!"
Zhu Houzhao was interrupted and couldn't help but change his expression: "Hu Yushi, do you know the etiquette?"
Hu Ming was slightly startled, and when he saw Zhu Houzhao's livid face, he couldn't help but said stubbornly: "Your Majesty, I'm just admonishing Your Majesty. As a censor, you should be honest about the emperor's words and deeds. I'm afraid that Your Majesty will miss his old feelings and refuse to do so." Punish Liu Jin, the eunuch!"
Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji and others glanced at the gray-haired Hu Ming, but remained silent.
Zhu Houzhao smiled coldly and said: "Do you mean to say that my words and deeds are not correct, my actions are unfair, and I am inconsistent with the way of the emperor?"
Hu Ming made a puff and said in a sob: "Your Majesty, I am so loyal and loyal to the sun and the moon. How can you say that to me?"
Looking at Hu Ming's tearful look, Zhu Houzhao showed a bit of disgust and disgust in his eyes, but the other party was a veteran of several dynasties. As a censor, he had great influence in the court.
Zhu Houzhao suppressed the anger in his heart and said without looking at Hu Ming: "Take Liu Jin to the prison, search his house, and let him be tried by the Ministry of Punishments!"
Liu Jin was dragged away in despair. Zhu Houzhao watched Liu Jin's figure disappear into the distance, and when he opened his mouth, it turned into a sigh.
At this moment, Mao Ji said: "Your Majesty, now that Mr. Li Dongyang has taken office, the cabinet is leaderless, and Liu Jin is involved in the serious crime of rebellion, the inner court is also indispensable for a general manager. I also ask your Majesty to decide as soon as possible who will be the chief minister of the cabinet and the chief minister of rituals and eunuchs." people to avoid chaos in the court."
Zhu Houzhao waved his hand as if he had consumed a lot of energy and energy and said: "You guys, please step back, I understand!"
Yang Tinghe, Mao Ji, Hu Ming and others bowed to Zhu Houzhao and said: "I retire, your majesty is safe!"
This time Zhu Houzhao did not get angry, but walked into the hall with an extremely calm expression. Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others wanted to follow them in to serve, but Zhu Houzhao said: "You guys wait outside, I want to be alone for a while." !”
Zhang Yong and Gu Dayong were stunned for a moment and looked at each other. They stopped and watched Zhu Houzhao's figure walking into the hall. At that moment, Zhu Houzhao's figure seemed a little stooped and lonely.
Zhu Houzhao walked into the main hall. This is where Zhu Houzhao usually spends his free time studying. To be precise, this is where Chu Yi stayed in the Leopard Room.
Because when Chu Yi was accompanying Zhu Houzhao, he spent most of the time urging Zhu Houzhao to study. Although Zhu Houzhao did not like reading very much, when he was with Chu Yi, Zhu Houzhao was not impatient at all, because Chu Yi always I will accompany him to read some articles and materials about Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang and Chengzu Zhu Di, etc.
Therefore, this place is not so much a palace as a spacious study room, where many unique classics are collected.
I don't know why Zhu Houzhao subconsciously came to this palace. At this moment, Zhu Houzhao was sitting on a Taishi chair. There were several neat volumes of books on the table. Zhu Houzhao took them and flipped through them, but he found that
These are the art of war and the methods of leading and running an army.
Looking at these scrolls, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but think of the time when Chu Yi was by his side. Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, and Liu Jin all found all kinds of ingenious things to please him, but Chu Yi was the only one who persuaded him to practice martial arts.
,read.
Caressing the volumes of books, Zhu Houzhao sighed softly: "Chu Daban, you once said that the best thing to do in the world is the emperor, and the hardest thing to do is the emperor. I didn't understand it at the time, but now I understand it a little bit!
"
Walking to the palace, Zhu Houzhao saw several wooden swords hanging on the wall. These wooden swords were the same wooden swords that Fang Xiaoyu used to practice with him when Fang Xiaoyu urged him to practice martial arts and strengthen his body.
He reached out and took off a wooden sword and held it in his hand. He stabbed forward lightly and heard Zhu Houzhao murmur: "Chu Daban, you once said that you are the sword in my hand. I was bullied. Okay."
Want to kill someone..."
Zhu Houzhao, who was quick-tempered yet honest, had never been so helpless and angry as at this moment. The scenes of being forced by ministers before appeared in his mind, especially those who relied on seniority and did not even take him to heart.
Veteran ministers Hu Ming and Zhu Houzhao wanted to kill him.
But he couldn't do it. He was the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and he controlled the great rivers and mountains of thousands of miles. However, in the civil and military affairs of the dynasty, he could not find many people who could be his assistants.
It is easy to kill Hu Ming, but so what if he kills Hu Ming? Can he still kill all the civil and military officials of the dynasty?
While Zhu Houzhao was quietly alone in the Leopard Room, Chu Yi was talking to Xu Wentai, one of the six departments in Nanjing.
Xu Wentai sat half-assed on the chair, not even daring to look directly at Chu Yi. Even though Chu Yi looked calm, he was not that scary at all.
However, Xu Wentai felt chills all over just thinking about Chu Yi's murderous reputation in Jiangnan. He dared not look directly at Chu Yi.
Chu Yi glanced at Xu Wentai and said calmly: "Master Xu, I have no other reason for inviting you here this time. I just want Master Xu to put the case files of Wu Jingbo, the Hu family and others into a clear process.
The Japanese governor is preparing to take him to the execution ground and personally supervise his execution!"
Xu Wentai couldn't help being shocked when he heard this. Although he had known for a long time that Wu Jingbo and others fell into the hands of Dongchang, and there would be no good end for offending the governor of Dongchang, he did not expect Chu Yi to be so decisive.
He was told to put the judicial process out of the way and be executed on the same day.
Cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. They had previously thought about whether they could delay it for a while. When the emperor issued an order to recall Chu Yi, they would have many ways to help some people escape the crime.
Now it seems that Chu Yi has made up his mind to kill Wu Jingbo and others.
Chu Yi looked at Xu Wentai with a half-smile and said, "Why, Mr. Xu, is there something wrong?"
Xu Wentai glanced at Chu Yi and quickly lowered his head, trembling all over and shaking his head: "There is no problem, there is no problem with everything. I will immediately order the Punishment Department to file all the files."
Chu Yi nodded with satisfaction and said: "Master Xu has indeed fulfilled his duties faithfully. When he returns to the capital, Chu will definitely say a few nice words to His Majesty for Master Xu!"
A somewhat ugly smile appeared on Xu Wentai's face and he said: "I would like to thank you, Lord Governor."
Waving his hand, Chu Yi said: "Okay, Mr. Xu is busy, so I won't keep you here!"
As Chu Yi picked up the tea cup, Xu Wentai looked as if he had received an amnesty. He immediately stood up and saluted Chu Yi: "In this case, I will resign now."
Watching Xu Wentai leave, Cao Shaoqin said: "Master Governor, no matter how rushed you are, you are not in a hurry for just one or two days."
Chu Yi glanced at Cao Shaoqin and said: "At this moment, Xu Yan and even many civil and military memorials in Nanjing have probably arrived in front of His Majesty's case. In three days at most, His Majesty's decree to summon this governor back to Beijing will be sent. If not,
If I personally supervise the execution, I'm afraid that after we leave, I don't know who will be sent to the execution ground!"
"How dare they do something against the key criminal designated by the governor?"
Cao Shaoqin couldn't help but said angrily after hearing the meaning of Chu Yi's words.
Chu Yi sneered and said: "This is Jiangnan. Even our Dongchang stronghold has been bribed. What's more, they only rescued some people. With their ability, just finding a few substitutes is enough."
The Criminal Department went through the case procedures as quickly as possible, and the entire city of Nanjing immediately knew that Chu Yi was going to execute Wu Jingbo and others at the execution ground.
The previous killing of the Zhou family, General Zhaowu and others had caused a sensation in the entire Nanjing city. This time, hundreds of people were killed at once, making people feel Chu Yi's ruthlessness again.
On the second day, Shi Kui led his soldiers and horses early to seal the execution ground, and naturally there were many people in the city who came to the execution ground early to watch Chu Yi kill people.
Because the news came out in advance, many people who missed the scene where Chu Yi killed the Zhou family came early this time.
There were even many literati who appeared outside the execution ground and mingled with the crowd.
You must know that among the people Chu Yi wanted to kill this time, there was a special group, the Zhulin Book Club. In addition to the dozen or so people who attacked the military formation and were beheaded, there were also more than ten or twenty literati who were arrested.
These intellectuals have close ties with each other and travel together on weekdays.
Now more than a dozen literati were about to be killed by Chu Yi, which naturally caused a great sensation among the literati community.
If this had been the case in the past, someone would have raised a voice and gathered hundreds of people to block the gate of the government office. But this time, no one dared to take the lead.
Chu Yi's several bloody killings made people clearly realize that Chu Yi really dared to kill people. Chu Butcher's reputation was not earned in vain, but the heads and heads of every noble and wealthy family.
The result is a broken family.
However, although they did not dare to gather in crowds, they did not prevent them from mixing in the crowd.
I saw a scholar and several hunters who came from outside Nanjing to watch the excitement and said, "Everyone has seen it, the man in the execution ground is Chu Yi, the great traitor who killed many people and his hands were stained with blood!"
Several traders were listening to a scholar in the crowd saying: "As you know, these eunuchs Liu Jin and Chu Yi encouraged the emperor to deceive His Majesty into imposing an additional tax on our Jiangnan business. Everyone thinks that Chu Yi is a heinous person.
The crime is extremely heinous.”
