Domineering Daming

"Show me, what is Niannian, what kind of stupid king, what kind of sycophant, what kind of country will not be a country? What have I done to become the king of subjugation!"

Zhang Woxu knelt down and shivered, sweating profusely on his head. He was so terrified that he didn't dare to breathe.

Yang Lian was able to go to court only when he was enlarged. Seeing that Zhu Xu was extremely angry, he hesitated in his heart, wondering if he should stand up.

While he was hesitating, Chen Liangxun strode out, raised his hand and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, all scholars in the world are dedicated to the country, and the 'Nine Articles' issued by the imperial court are indeed suppressing scholars..."

"Bastard!"

Zhu Xu didn't wait for him to finish, and shouted sharply: "When did the imperial court suppress the scholars in the world? If you don't play prostitutes, you can't serve the country wholeheartedly? If you don't form associations or cliques, you can't serve the country wholeheartedly? If you are not a party, is it because I do not read enough, or are you delusional?"

It's not that Chen Liangxun has never argued with the emperor in court, but the little emperor in front of him seems a little unreasonable no matter how he looks at it, he is not afraid, and continues to say neither humble nor overbearing: "Your Majesty, forming an association is not forming a clique, and forming a clique is not for personal gain. ..."

Zhu Xu didn't finish talking to him, waved his hand, and said coldly: "Come here, pull him out, get rid of all merits, and put him in the prison for punishment!"

When Ye Xianggao saw it, he stood up quickly and said, "Your Majesty, even though Mr. Chen's words are fierce, they are still out of public interest. I hope the Emperor will consider him..."

"enough!"

Zhu Xu's gaze was like a sword, and he shouted with his hands behind his back: "Anyone else who wants to intercede for him, stand up. I will see if the prison in the Ministry of Punishment is enough. If it is not enough, I will pay for the expansion!"

The ministers of the Ming Dynasty, who were threatened by the emperor, were imprisoned after contradicting the emperor, and the imperial staff was the capital for promotion, which was the great reputation of Shilin.

Huang Zunsu came out and said: "I plead for Master Chen, Master Chen is upright..."

"Count you in!" Zhu Xu said.

Zhu Xu's words seemed to anger the Donglin Party, and then Zhou Zongjian joined the ranks. Before he could speak, Zhu Xu said, "You alone!"

Wei Dazhong, Zhou Chaorui, Mao Shilong, Ding Yuanjian, Liu Mao, and even Yang Lian, Han Huang and others stood up one after another.

Almost all the members of the Donglin Party who went to court this time came out!

Except for one Ruan Dacheng!

Zhu Xu glanced coldly, and there were some people who walked closer to the Donglin Party and stared intently at them, but these people all shrunk their heads, and they didn't seem to want to talk about "loyalty" at all.

Now that the number of people is almost the same, Zhu Xu waved his hand and said: "Suppress them all, order the three divisions to interrogate them, and judge the crimes. The court will never use them!"

Teams of imperial guards rushed in from outside the door, and went straight to the people standing out.

Chapter 406

The Donglin Party members are not afraid of court staff, removal from office, or even garrison, because these may become "seniority" and "capital" for advancement after a while.

But this "never use it" is different. Not only is it a crime, but it also means that there is no chance to stand up again!

Just after taking a step, someone begged for mercy and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I'm guilty, I'm guilty..."

There was an opening, and immediately there were sounds one after another.

"Your Majesty, I know the crime, I shouldn't disobey the court law and slander the Emperor..."

"Your Majesty, I am willing to take the blame and make meritorious service, and I repent..."

Zhu Xu stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, dressed in a dragon robe, with an indifferent expression and sharp eyes.

Without Zhu Xu's "Jinkou", the imperial army would not delay, Ye Xianggao, Han Huang, Yang Lian and others were all dragged out.

There were more than 20 people missing in the hall, and it suddenly seemed empty, as if a cold wind passed through the hall, everyone felt their necks were cold, and they bowed even more, not daring to move rashly.

Zhu Xu's eyes fell on Zhang Woxu who was kneeling again, and he said coldly: "Zhang Shangshu, have you thought of a way to deal with it?"

Zhang Woxu raised his head tremblingly, but he didn't raise his head, the ground was wet with sweat, and he said in a trembling voice: "Back to the emperor, there are still some people who understand righteousness and support the court..."

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Zhu Xu interrupted coldly: "Why didn't I see it?"

Zhang Woxu twitched his old face and said, "It's all because of the Donglin Party..."

Zhu Xu immediately yelled: "Don't shirk your responsibility! From today, the Ministry of Rites will set up court newspapers in all provinces, prefectures and counties to convey the imperial court's message to the people all over the world and explain the imperial court's laws and policies. What happened today happened again, did you hear me!"

Zhang Woxu listened to Zhu Xu's words, his heart moved, and immediately he said in awe: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Xu looked at him coldly, and reprimanded him coldly: "You are better than the Donglin Party. The Donglin Party is against me and against the court. You don't do anything, you don't know how to do anything, and you let me Let me figure out a way for you, whether the Minister of Rites can still sit, if not, you can go home and die!"

Zhang Woxu still went to curry favor with Wei Zhongxian in his 80s, because he didn't want to go home for the elderly.Hearing Zhu Xu's words, he put his head on the ground and said anxiously: "Don't worry, your majesty, I will do my best to be loyal to your majesty and fulfill your responsibilities for the imperial court. The impact of this matter will be eliminated as soon as possible. I hope your majesty can rest assured!"

Zhu Xu raised his head and glanced at the others, including King Xin and King Jing. They all lowered their heads. There was no other voice in the huge Jinluan Hall. They didn't care about Zhang Woxu's words at all. He sneered and said, "Tell me, what are you going to do?" ?”

Zhang Woxuan knew that he had already been labeled "incompetent" in the emperor's heart, and if he didn't do something, he would really go home to retire.

His eyes rolled sharply, and he couldn't control the sweat soaked, and suddenly said: "Back to the emperor, I think that the imperial examination should be abolished and the academy system should be implemented. From now on, the imperial court can only select talents from the royal military and political institutes. As for Fushe , people from Donglin are forbidden to enter, and the imperial court will never use it!"

This was planned by Zhu Xu a long time ago, but it has not been officially implemented because of too much opposition. I will continue to see the timing of this one.

Zhu Xu laughed out of breath, and said with a snort, "You're going to see each other, I don't care about this matter with you, you just do it."

Zhang Woxu stood up tremblingly as if he had been pardoned, and said: "I thank the emperor for his kindness."

When Zhang Woxu returned to the imperial court, Zhu Xu's eyes searched for King Xin and King Jing again. After a long time, he settled on Zhu Youjian, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Emperor, you are the Prime Minister, so there is such a big criticism." Voice, aren't you going to say something?"

Zhu Youjian has not yet recovered from Zhu Xu's forceful elimination of the Donglin Party. Seeing Zhu Xu's spear pointing at him, his heart immediately froze, his face sullen, and he came out and said: "Return to the emperor, my minister... ...The minister has ordered the chief envoys of the southern provinces to appease, and it should be effective."

Zhu Xu's complexion sank again, and he took two steps forward, and said angrily, "Leave it to them to appease? There are thousands of people in Fushe, all of whom are sons and grandsons of officials and eunuchs, including the sons and grandsons of Jiang Yihong, Chen Yingyuan, Wang Xiangjin and others." Among them, doesn’t Brother Huang know about it? If it wasn’t for their overstaffing, how could it become more and more violent and shock the world?”

Zhu Youjian's scalp became tense and he no longer had the ability to think. He was afraid that Zhu Xu, in a rage, would dismiss him as a prime minister and abolish Wen Zhao Pavilion.

Zhu Xu saw that Zhu Youjian couldn't speak out because of his annoyance, and it wasn't too much. He snorted coldly, turned to King Jing again, and said, "The Supervisory Council immediately sent people to Zhejiang and other southern provincial governors. Check, with the consent of the governor, you can appoint first, and then report! Then the restoration of the society, I will not allow it to exist!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Jing stepped out and said loudly, "Observe the order!"

Before Prince Jing finished speaking, Zhu Xu said again, "Wei Zhongxian!"

Wei Zhongxian trotted out from the side door, stood under the steps, bowed and said: "The servant is here."

With his hands behind his back and his eyes cold, Zhu Xu glanced at the ministers and said, "Get up and go to the south of the Yangtze River immediately, and implement the 'nine regulations'. If there is any obstacle, you can kill it first and then play it with the approval of the governor and the governor!"

"Abiding by the order!" Wei Zhongxian's face was calm and his tone was extremely indifferent, as if he saw something trivial.

All the officials in the court heard Zhu Xu even read the decree, and their minds tensed up. Those who didn't know were okay. Those who knew Zhu Xu's plans all understood that the emperor was taking this opportunity to justify and punish him severely. Jiangnan officialdom.

Zhu Xu cleaned up the Donglin Party, reprimanded Zhang Woxu, and beat Zhu Youjian. At this moment, he stood on the steps with his hands behind his back, looked outside the hall, turned around and waved his hands: "Let's retreat."

Only then did the officials wake up like a dream, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Respectfully send the emperor off."

Zhu Xu came out from the back door of the Golden Luan Hall, straightened his waist, looked up to the sky and let out a long sigh of relief, then grinned and rubbed his face, only to realize that there was fine sweat on his forehead and his back was soaked.

After the performance, Zhu Xu felt much more comfortable physically and mentally. As he walked, he said, "Cao Huachun, prepare hot water. I want to take a bath. By the way, how much do you think I can score for my performance just now?"
