Daming: At the start of the showdown, Lao Zhu was stunned

Chapter 488
"Mao Xiang." Zhu Su did not ask Mao Xiang to get up with a grim look on his face, and said bluntly, "This king wants to pick up those criminal officials."

"..." Mao Xiang's expression moved slightly, but his kneeling body showed no intention of moving at all, and he replied in a respectful tone: "... Please forgive me, Your Majesty the Fifth Highness. The date set in your majesty's decree is today. Now within one day, I, Jin Yiwei, still have the right to interrogate..."

"...You can think clearly, if you really want to do this, continue to take advantage of the imperial decree?" Zhu Su's voice became colder. "Mao Xiang, I know your intention."

"The reason why an eagle dog is an eagle dog is naturally to hunt more prey first."

"But have you ever thought that the heart of heaven is unpredictable. If the emperor wants to let them go, it is naturally because of his old man's consideration. If you are beaten into a trick, Jin Yiwei will have a lot of credit, but it is not a violation of the emperor's layout by acting on his behalf? "

"Fourth brother was ordered to set up a public trial on South Street, and managed to restore some reputation for Jin Yiwei. As the commander, you tortured and tortured to expand the results of the battle...Is this the original intention of the father?"

"A knife with a mind of its own...will you still take advantage of it?"

After saying these words, Mao Xiang was sweating profusely and trembling. "Jin...Jin Yiwei is the emperor's personal army, so naturally we don't dare to misinterpret His Majesty's intentions."

"It's just that among the criminals, there may be people whose crimes have not been dug out..."

At this point, he secretly glanced at Zhu Su, only to see Zhu Su staring at him coldly, as if he was glaring at a dead person. He felt a sudden shock in his heart, and finally did not dare to continue to quibble. "But His Highness has an order, and I dare not refuse it."

"And please wait a moment, my servant will hand over those offenders who have committed minor crimes to His Highness."

Zhu Su snorted coldly, and didn't bother to care about the wit in Mao Xiang's last words.The self-appointed guards of the royal palace followed the Jinyi guards to take over the mediocre officials who committed crimes.After a while, dozens of bloody and bloody officials were escorted out. Seeing Zhu Su in royal robes, many of them wept with joy, feeling as if they saw the sun again.

"The guilty minister is innocent, thank you for your life-saving grace!" The prisoners burst into tears of gratitude and reluctantly paid homage to Zhu Su with their support.

Zhu Su frowned. He didn't have much affection for these mediocre officials, so naturally he didn't have the heart to be courteous and corporal to them.I was just shocked by Mao Xiang's ruthless attack. Looking at their appearance, I am afraid that they have suffered a lot of torture in one night.He stared at Mao Xiang, who was hanging his hands beside him, and said to the prisoners: "You don't have to thank me, if you want to thank me, you can thank the father, the emperor, for the greatness of heaven, so that you will be spared the death penalty."

"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped. You are a mediocre official and sit back and watch the empty seal cause harm. You are still responsible for not knowing things and being the accomplices of the tiger."

"You and your family members will make arrangements in the palace in a few days. Maybe Yunnan or Liaodong, let's do it for Ming Dynasty."

"Being diligent and conscientious, being a good citizen, might not be a good way out."

Hearing what Zhu Su said, the faces of the prisoners were full of sadness, and even if there were one or two people who wanted to defend themselves, they were persuaded by others.

Zhu Su nodded. These people can generally understand the general situation.

Anyone who is an official is related to the people of one side, and incompetence is a crime.It is not impossible for them to go through suffering at this time, break through the shackles, and be reborn in Nirvana.

If so, those prisoners who successfully emerged from Liaodong, Yunnan, would have passed the test and could be relocated outside the region to educate the barbarians.

At that time, the sky will be high and the sea will be wide, let it roam.In the future, he may be able to gain a position as a highly respected minister outside the region, be granted the title of a marquis and become a prime minister, and establish a great cause that will be admired by future generations.

Fang Xiaoru's father, Fang Keqin, was also among them. As a civil servant with a strong official voice, Fang Keqin obviously had twice as many scars as the others. Brought out.Fang Xiaoru hurried forward to check on her biological father, and was relieved when she found that he was indeed unconscious.But the resentment towards Jin Yiwei was already superficial.

"Let's go. The king will place you in Huangzhuang outside the city first. At that time, officials from the Ministry of Punishment will come to hand over to the king." Zhu Su frowned and did not speak. After explaining to the prisoners, he himself Gu Zi left.No longer pay attention to Mao Xiang's "respectful" voice behind him.

……

In Huangzhuang, Fang Xiaoru settled his father and came to Zhu Su.The scars on his father's body made him burst into tears of distress. "Your Highness, Jin Yiwei abused lynching in an attempt to torture him into a trick."

"This is against the norms of heaven and earth! Mao Xiang, the commander of Jinyiwei, looks loyal and treacherous, and has the appearance that eagles watch wolves!"

"Students want to report to His Majesty, and participate in Jinyiwei! Please allow me, Master!" As he said, he knelt down and kowtowed several times to Zhu Su.

This guy really has no political intelligence.Zhu Su rubbed his eyebrows with a headache. "Zheng Shili went to the Shu, which caused an uproar in the court. Now that it's finally resolved, you want to go to the Shu again?"

"What? You scholars are going to the university one by one, is it because you want to teach your father how to be an emperor?"

"Or do you want to be like Zheng Shili, trying to coerce me, the Emperor of Ming, with the opinions of the people?"

"But Jin Yiwei is really domineering! Your majesty is a wise and wise king, and he will surely accept advice and faithful advice..." Fang Xiaoru still insisted on his own opinion.

Zhu Su sighed deeply. "The king of sages... what is the king of sages?"

"Like the emperor of the Song Dynasty, you listen to all your literati. If you are a puppet for literati, you are a sage king? If the emperor doesn't want to punish Jin Yiwei, will you, Fang Xiaoru, still stir up public opinion in the scholastic community, saying Is the father a faint king?"

"Fang Xizhi, times have changed. If you dare to go to court, not only will you die, but you may also implicate your respected father who finally saved his life. You will also have to pay for it with his life!"

"In the future, please don't talk about this matter again. Do your best to do what you are doing. You must not get involved in the political affairs of the DPRK and China."

"...Yes." Fang Xiaoru looked disappointed and retreated.Zhu Su also felt that there was a feeling of anger in his chest that could not be released. What Mao Xiang did had indeed trampled on a certain bottom line of the law.I think it was because Zhu Di led a part of the Jinyiwei to achieve great achievements, so he, the commander of the Jinyiwei, was not willing to lag behind, and he held back his thoughts and wanted to make a big move.

Although he also disliked Mao Xiang, Zhu Su didn't think he could persuade Lao Zhu to depose Mao Xiang.Mao Xiang is now an unparalleled sharp sword in the hands of Lao Zhu. He persuades the emperor to throw away the sharp sword, even if he is a parent and son, he still has a grudge.If someone else tried to persuade him, he would probably be beheaded by Lao Zhu if he turned around.

Emperor Hongwu was not Emperor Chongzhen, and he would never do such things as self-defeating martial arts.

"Forget it. Let's see him build a tall building. There will be a day when the building collapses in the future."

Zhu Su comforted himself, then put Mao Xiang's matter behind him, summoned chariots and horses from the palace, and returned to Tianfu.
