my brother-in-law is the prince

After a while, Zhang Anshi and Chen Li hurried into the hall.

Zhang Anshi saluted and said: "I have seen Your Majesty."

Zhu Di folded his hands behind his back, nodded to Zhang Anshi, and said, "Zhang Qing is out of breath, seems to have something important to do?"

"This……"

Zhu Di couldn't help showing a look of ridicule, he rarely saw Zhang Anshi panicked like this.

As for Yishiha, he also smiled awkwardly. Of course, he quickly restrained his smile.

After all, this time, Dongchang was indeed unkind, so it's better not to be complacent.

Zhang Anshi paused for a moment before saying: "Your Majesty... Your Majesty... came to inquire about the capture of the criminals."

"There is such a thing." Zhu Di nodded: "I didn't expect you Jinyiwei to get wind of it so soon! I also said that this Jinyiwei has always had a keen sense of smell, why is it much duller this time."

Chen Li blushed, it was a slap in the face!

Zhang Anshi smiled dryly: "I don't know about those criminals... how about those criminals...?"

Zhu Di glanced at Yi Shiha: "Yi Shiha, tell me."

Yi Shiha nodded, but still acted modestly, prudently and respectfully. Although the red light on his face still couldn't be concealed, he said: "Dongchang has been secretly investigating this case. Years ago, it was Secretly arrested a recorder of Honglu Temple, and has been following the clues since then. Only then did I know that there are quite a few people involved in this matter. Now all the criminals have been arrested, and the Dongji Incident Factory has begun The interrogation is over, I'm afraid it won't be long before there will be a confession."

Yi Shiha finished speaking, coughed, and then continued: "Because this matter is of great importance, although there were some eyebrows before, Dongchang was worried that some rumors would be leaked, so Dongchang's mouth was tighter, and His Highness used to be in charge. If you pass Jinyiwei, you must be able to understand."

Zhang Anshi said: "I don't understand."

Yi Shiha originally thought that Zhang Anshi would just go downhill, but he didn't expect to play cards completely out of routine.

So, for a while, he froze in place, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Okay, okay, the factory guards are a family, and they all serve me, regardless of each other, and there is no need to compete for merit. The most urgent task right now is this case..."

Just as he was talking, an eunuch came running quickly.

The eunuch saluted and said: "Your Majesty, here comes the confession. Those involved in this case are 17 principal offenders and 45 accomplices..."

Zhu Di cheered up and said, "Take me to have a look."

The eunuch is waiting to send the confession to the imperial court.

Zhang Anshi said: "I might as well make a guess, Your Majesty... the chief offenders are Chen Deng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites, Liu He, the Minister of Honglu Temple, Zhang Sanhe, a doctor of the Ministry of War, and..."

Zhang Anshi unexpectedly announced a large list of names in one breath.

Zhu Di has taken the confession, still smiling.

But Yi Shiha's expression changed slightly.

Zhu Di lowered his head and saw that it was the head of the confession, and it was the name of Chen Deng, the right servant of the Ministry of Rites.

Looking at the next copy, it turned out to be Liu He, Minister of the Honghe Temple.

These are all important ministers of the court.

Many of them are even Zhu Di's acquaintances.

While Zhu Di was angry, he couldn't help being surprised. He raised his head and looked at Zhang Anshi: "Zhang Qing also knows?"

Zhang Anshi said: "I...Of course I know."

Yi Shiha was a little embarrassed, and smiled apologetically: "Then Jin Yiwei...why didn't he say it before?"

Zhang Anshidao: "As you said, Eunuch Yishiha, the matter is of great importance. In order to prevent leakage, Jinyiwei has been keeping it airtight!"

Yi Shiha: "..."

Zhu Di frowned: "When will Jin Yiwei find out?"

Zhang Anshi said: "Five months ago."

Zhu Di: "..."

Yi Shiha said: "Since it was detected five months ago, why...why didn't you arrest it then?"

Zhang Anshi smiled wryly and said: "Hey... I came here in a hurry, just for this, Your Majesty, Dongchang... this time, I'm going to startle the snake, and this time... it's really... hey, it's hard to say."

Zhu Di saw the clue, and said, "You can say whatever you want."

Zhang Anshi said: "Your Majesty...these people... are beneficial to our Ming Dynasty, so although the ministers have detected them, they have not collected the net, just to let them... contribute to my Ming Dynasty. I originally thought about waiting for them. The value has been fully utilized, and then it will be taken down for investigation, but who knows, Dongchang didn't even say hello, but... directly took someone... Chen... Chen..."

"Favourable?" The smile on Yishiha's face disappeared, and his thick eyebrows frowned unconsciously.

After all, he began to recall that this Jinyiwei has been silent for so many days, dare you... is it because they are raising fish?

Zhu Di looked down at the confession, his face became more serious, and he said, "What are you doing with such thieves! Teach them to live one more day, it will be cheap for them."

While talking, Zhu Di's face became more and more gloomy.

Just as he was talking, another eunuch came and said, "Your Majesty, all officials are asking to see you."

Zhu Dizheng is angry!He glanced at the eunuch coldly: "Okay, everyone's eyes and ears are very good."

He said lightly: "Call them in."

Not long after, Yang Rong led the way, and the rest of Hu Guang, Jin Youzi, Xia Yuanji, Jin Zhongren and others entered the hall one after another.

All the ministers saluted, and Zhu Di said bluntly: "Your gentlemen, why are you here?"

Yang Rong took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the guards of the factory have arrested many ministers, so everyone is in danger. The ministers are here to implore Your Majesty to tell you what crimes did you commit?"

Yang Rong looked speechless, what a troubled time, so many important officials of the court were suddenly arrested, and now all the ministries, temples and prisons are jumping in panic.

If he, a scholar of the Wenyuan Pavilion, doesn't care about it, it really can't be justified.

But he also knew in his heart that there must be a reason for this.

Zhu Di didn't intend to hide it, and directly said bluntly: "These people... are all rebels!"

"I don't know... what did you do to anger people?" Jin Youzi couldn't help but speak at this moment. Although he was taciturn, he also knew that this matter was serious.

There are too many ministers involved, some of them are important ministers of the court, and there are quite a few, most of whom are protégés of certain ministers.

Once these people are captured, everyone is naturally in danger, and no one of them has the heart to be on duty.

Zhu Di said without hesitation: "Demonic words confuse the crowd!"

All of a sudden, the ministers couldn't hold back anymore.

Yang Rong sighed in his heart, but he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, what kind of demonic words are you talking about?"

Zhu Di looked up at Zhang Anshi and said, "Just ask Zhang Qing."

Zhang Anshi: "..."

Zhang Anshi thought for a while, and said: "I'm too embarrassed to say it out loud, so please ask Eunuch Yishiha to say it."

Yi Shiha: "..."

He doesn't want to say this, he doesn't want to say that, only he can't shirk it the hardest.

Yi Shiha said helplessly: "Mostly it is to slander the imperial court, make false statements about the palace, or use prophecy to confuse the people, especially among the prefectures and counties in the world, these nonsense words have caused turmoil in people's hearts..."

Speaking of this, all the officials were ashamed.

Because of this thing, how should it be defined?If you speak evil words, you can speak evil words. Who will dare to speak after that?
What's more, it is really unreasonable to use this as a crime.

Yang Rong pondered for a moment, then said: "I also miss Mr. Ha, is there any proof of rebellion?"

Yi Shiha said: "Such people... dare to take risks by themselves by fanning the flames?"

Yang Rong had no choice but to say: "Since this is the case, then, Your Majesty...whether you ask the San Judiciary to interrogate this case so that we can set the record straight."

Yang Rong's words are justified. After all, such things as slander, falsehood, and bewitchment are really difficult to define, and this time, too many ministers are involved. If there is really an attempt to usurp, it will be good to stop the mouths of people all over the world.

Zhu Di's face was cloudy and uncertain.

He obviously didn't want to do this, but it was Yang Rong who proposed it, which obviously...has become the consensus of all officials.

Seeing the panic-stricken looks of all the officials, they were like frightened birds, obviously frightened by this sudden and serious case.

But on the other hand, Zhu Di was unwilling to make the case public. The ghost knows what these people would say that violated the taboo, and he, Zhu Di, would be shamed.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhu Di said: "Decree, order Dongchang to take the principal culprit and others to the imperial court, and I will interrogate myself in front of all the officials."

Since you suspect that Dongchang has arrested the wrong person, then I will ask you in front of you, and there is no need to go to the three courts.

I don't know what to do, so I'm busy with the arrangement.

Yang Rong and the others seemed uneasy.

Especially the many people who were arrested, they may be the subordinates of a certain minister in this palace, or they are students, or they are old friends, and they are more and more uneasy at this time.

Any murder case may cause unwarranted disasters, and the devil knows when it will fall on his own head.

Moreover, there are quite a few ministers involved this time. As for important court officials such as Chen Deng, Liu He, and Zhang Sanhe, they don't know how much they have dealt with people on weekdays. It is really unacceptable that they suddenly become prisoners. .

Half an hour passed.

Finally someone came.

Chen Deng is the leader.

He was actually striding forward, even though he was shackled and wearing a wooden shackle, he looked fearless.

There are several people behind, some are trying to calm down, some are sad.

Zhu Di's eyes fell on them, and he snorted coldly.

Chen Deng stood still.

Yi Shiha shouted: "It's not polite yet."

Chen Deng said awe-inspiringly: "If the king treats his ministers like brothers and feet, then the ministers will treat him like his heart; if the king treats his ministers like dogs and horses, then his ministers will treat him like a countryman; Treating ministers like nothing, as ministers, at this point, what else is there to kneel down and beg for mercy?"

Chen Deng was very stubborn.

But after thinking about it carefully, it is actually understandable. Being arrested as a criminal and also the main criminal, Zhu Di's methods are too familiar to him.

Anyway, there is no burial place for death anyway, it is better at this time to seek a name of uprightness, at least according to the history of the Qing Dynasty, so that this life is not in vain!
Zhu Di looked at his words and deeds, his face became even more gloomy, and he said angrily: "But I heard that eating the king's salary is a matter of being loyal to the king. I have a lot of money for your salary, but today you want to pay for it." Bite me back?"

Chen Dengdao: "Then dare to ask Your Majesty, how much money and food will the court distribute to the ministers?"

This rhetorical question made Zhang Anshi on the side a little overwhelmed.

Baiguan: "..."

The hall fell into a deathly silence.

Zhu Di glared and became even more furious.

When Chen Deng asked such a question, it was actually quite taunting.After all... this salary was set by Emperor Taizu Gao, who was born in commoner and knew the sufferings of the people, so he directly used the food and clothing expenses of the common people for a year to calculate the money and food expenditure of the ministers.

For example, ordinary people can barely feed themselves with two hundred catties of grain per year. If you are an official, I will give you two thousand catties of grain, and one person can eat ten people's rations.

Therefore, the salary of the Ming Dynasty has always been the lowest. If someone was an official in the Yuan Dynasty and continued to be an official in the Ming Dynasty, the sharp drop in salary alone would be unbearable.

Zhu Di endured and endured, and then he calmed down a bit, and then said sullenly, "I'll just ask you, have you ever received my salary?"

Chen Deng calmly said: "Chen is an official, and it is difficult to survive on salary. It is only by the support of his father and brother at home that he can maintain so far. If there is no money and food from his father and brother at home, I am afraid that he will have starved to death."

Zhu Di sneered: "Sophistry!"

The officials were even more speechless at this time. Although Chen Deng's words contained sophistry, they felt the same way.

Of course...they admired Chen Deng's courage.

I saw Chen Deng said again: "It's nothing more than father and brother helping each other. After all, there is still some ancestral property in the family. But now, even these ancestral properties cannot be maintained. People are in danger, and their family fortune is in danger, dare to ask Your Majesty, where did you get the salary of eating the king, and how can you teach people how to be loyal to the king?"

After Chen Deng finished speaking, he said with emotion: "I know that your majesty kills without permission. Since your majesty entered Nanjing, I don't know how many people's heads have fallen, not to mention the distance. Just talking about last year, there are not many gentry in Henan and Guanzhong who killed all their heads. Get lost? I have reached this point today, and I have nothing to say. Your Majesty wants to be killed or cut, so please listen! But if the death of the minister, if it can attract the vigilance of the people in the world to the New Deal, it will make the government rampant. If the villain restrains himself a little, then he will have no regrets in this life."

Zhu Di was extremely angry. Although he was old, he found that after so many years, he had never been able to take advantage of his mouth in front of these ministers who were always plausible.

At that moment, So sneered grimly, his eyes glistening like swords.

Baiguan's figure trembled, and he felt a cold light on his back, and some people even broke out in cold sweat on their foreheads.

Of course, there are actually many people who silently agree with Chen Deng in their hearts.

On the other hand, Yishiha could no longer hold back and shouted: "Chen Deng, you are dying in front of your eyes, and you still want to speak hard... Let me ask you, do you plead guilty or not?"

Chen Deng glanced at Yi Shiha with disdain, and said sternly: "No crime, I, Chen Deng, said everything that came from the bottom of my heart, and it was a warning to the world. If you want to be guilty of the crime of words today, then you have nothing to say. It is nothing more than using my blood to complete the righteousness of Confucius and Mencius."

Yishiha gritted his teeth and said, "You won't be so stubborn by then."

He seemed a little impatient, and was eager to get Chen Deng to confess his guilt, but he didn't know... After saying these words, the situation was suddenly pulled down.

This made Chen Deng laugh out loud: "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a punishment. Although I'm weak, I want to learn from you. You and the factory guards, the eagle dogs, will use all means."

Zhang Anshi looked at Yi Shiha speechlessly. Although he knew that Yi Shiha was eager to make some contribution, it was too urgent.

When dealing with people like Chen Deng, you go talk about it with them. Isn't this teaching Chen Deng to become famous in one fell swoop?

Zhu Di was so angry that he couldn't speak, his face was as dark as ink.

If I had known this before, it would be better to just go to jail and kill him directly. Now it's better...

He held his breath and looked around, in fact, he still hoped that among the ministers, someone who was full of knowledge would stand up and argue with Chen Deng.

But all the officials lowered their heads, even Jin Zhong, the most confidant, was pretending to be dead.

There are no fools here.

This kind of thing... Whoever stands up is a clown. Anyway, I can't do it, so you can do it.

But what is surprising is that Zhang Anshi smiled slightly at this time and said: "Chen Gong's words actually have his reasons."

As soon as this remark came out, Zhu Di couldn't hold back anymore.

Which side are you Zhang Anshi on? Can you figure out where you stand?
Not to mention that Zhang Anshi still called Chen Deng his father, but now he still said that he was justified. This is obviously standing directly on Chen Deng's position, and He Yishiha is on the fence.

Chen Deng: "..."

Zhang Anshi smiled as if he couldn't see Zhu Di's angry eyes, and said, "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei had already detected the words and deeds of Mr. Chen and the others, but kept silent. They just monitored silently and did not issue driving stickers. This is also the reason."

Zhu Di sullenly said, "In this way, Zhang Qing also thinks that Chen Deng did the right thing?"

Zhang Anshidao: "The public says that the public is right, and the mother-in-law says that the mother-in-law is reasonable. We are all one family. In my opinion, if you want to save face, you don't have to..."

Zhu Di suddenly felt very bad, when did Zhang Anshi become so indiscriminate between right and wrong?

So he shouted: "This is treason, it is deceiving the emperor!"

Zhu Di only wished he could wake up Zhang Anshi with a loud shout.

But Zhang Anshi said earnestly: "But Mr. Chen...has done a lot for our Metropolitan Governor's Mansion. And His Royal Highness... Mr. Chen has broken his heart for His Royal Highness. Your Majesty sees it in the face of such contributions. On the other hand, you should also be able to understand Mr. Chen."

Zhu Di: "..."

The Metropolitan Governor's Mansion is a symbol of the New Deal.

The emperor's grandson... is Zhu Di's own grandson.

However, what Chen Deng did was clearly aimed at opposing the New Deal.

In any case, there is no way to hook it.

In fact, this is more than Zhu Di's discoloration.

Even Chen Deng suddenly became furious from his generous statement just now.

He, Chen Deng, had an affair with the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion?

The conscience of heaven and earth!This piece of Anshi is simply nonsense.

"Heh... the king of Wuhu County... isn't he afraid of retribution for turning right and wrong into black and white?" Chen Deng gave Zhang Anshi a disdainful look, with awe-inspiring righteousness.

All the officials looked at Zhang Anshi who was stealing chickens without losing money. This guy...you say he is smart, but he knows how to sow discord. Call him stupid. Do not understand?
Isn't it stupid to want to humiliate Chen Deng based on this?

…………

The update has been sent, hey, it suddenly exploded, so tired, but the tiger is still insisting, students, give Zhang a monthly ticket to encourage.
