Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

a few days later.

Following Lu Xiangsheng and Wei Zhongxian returned to Beijing.

The capital city, which was already filled with gloomy clouds, felt as if dark clouds were looming over the city.

All the officials who received the news were frightened and looked in the direction of the imperial city to wait for the notification.

The people from Shaanxi are back, and this matter will eventually come to an end.

Sure enough, they received the notice on the same day.

He said it would be tomorrow morning and asked all officials to be there.

Anyone who has a good breath has to crawl to the main hall and wait!

This made Wen Tiren and others who were about to claim their illness very uncomfortable.

have to...

Your Majesty's words are very obvious. Anyone who dares to pretend to be sick will be in trouble.

Day two.

Before dawn, there was already a long queue outside the palace.

All the officials were neatly dressed and looked as if they were ready to die.

"Go up!"

After waiting for a short while, the eunuch who delivered the order shouted.

The main entrance into the hall slowly opened.

The slightly white morning breeze brought chills to the backs of everyone's necks.

Wen Tiren, who was standing at the front, took a deep breath, closed his eyes, raised his legs and walked towards the main hall.

The officials followed one after another and carefully stepped into the hall.

As soon as he entered, Wen Tiren saw Zhu Youjian sitting quietly on the steps holding the Emperor's Sword.

"Come on and see Your Majesty!"

"Long live my emperor! Long live!"

Something was obviously wrong with Zhu Youjian's state, and Wen Tiren immediately knelt down and shouted long live.

Wait until all the officials say long live for three times.

The hall suddenly fell into silence.

Zhu Youjian just sat on the steps, saying nothing and not letting anyone level him down.

Ruoyouruowu's killing intent was so overwhelming that no one dared to breathe.

"Um..."

"Long live?"

"We are quite curious as to how many of you who shout long live sincerely."

After a long time, Zhu Youjian's faint voice came from above.

Wang Chengen, who was next to him, heard the emperor speak and immediately gestured around.

Suddenly, dozens of knife-wielding eunuchs walked out of the darkness, staring at everyone present as if they were looking at dead people.

West Factory!

Looking at this costume, Wen Tiren immediately recognized his identity.

Your Majesty, doesn’t even Jin Yiwei believe it?

He actually let people from Xichang go to the palace with knives!

"Your Majesty! We, the scholars, are loyal and have absolutely no second thoughts."

"What Kong Yanzhi did was his personal behavior and has nothing to do with all of us!"

"I can guarantee that if I have any dealings with that Kong Yanzhi, Your Majesty will chop off my head!"

I don't dare to let the atmosphere be so stiff anymore.

Wen Tiren quickly cupped his hands and spoke in defense.

"is it?"

"Is Kong Yanzhi a descendant of Confucius?"

"Are you reading the same book?"

"Are you the ones who said that Kong Yanzhi is the leading figure in contemporary Confucianism?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard His Majesty ask several questions in one breath.

The sentences are heartbreaking and leave people speechless.

After all, it doesn’t matter whether it’s the Donglin Party or Confucian students like them.

I like to brag in groups on weekdays.

The purpose is to better gather under the Confucian banner and seek benefits for themselves.

And now...

Their previous actions have all served as reminders.

When Kong Yanzhi made trouble, all those who had previously praised Confucianism were in trouble!

"What, nothing to say?"

"You Confucians don't like to act in groups the most."

"In that case, why are you and others still staying here in the court after all the leaders have gone to vote for Hou Jin?"

"Are you trying to be guilty?"

Looking at the officials below who lowered their heads and didn't know how to answer.

Li Chen, who was speaking through Zhu Youjian's mouth, continued with a sneer.

Don’t everyone like to use the name of Confucianism to face the royal family?

Come on, keep talking.

Today I’m talking openly!

"Your Majesty... Even though we read the same Four Books and Five Classics, it doesn't mean that we are all the same as that bastard."

"Kong Yanzhi's actions were done by him alone."

"Please also ask Your Majesty not to vent your anger on all the scholars in the Ming Dynasty."

"They are all loyal to His Majesty!"

Huang Jin, the Minister of Rites, knelt down and spoke in a very sincere tone.

As the Minister of Rites, he was naturally a serious Confucian student.

But when it comes to Kong Yanzhi's behavior, he can only say three words: "Fuck a dog!"

Seeing that His Majesty cannot kill Kong Yanzhi and shows signs of venting his anger on the world's Confucian scholars, how can he still sit still.

"We have trusted you many times."

"The result is that we are disappointed again and again."

"After Zhou Yanru's incident happened, we will ignore the past grudges."

"I will improve your treatment and set up a pension association. At the same time, I will open Lingyan Pavilion to everyone as a reward for your hard work."

"In the end, this is how you scholars repay us?"

"In Shaanxi, there are hordes of hungry people."

"The money and food distributed by the imperial court have not been lost at all."

"Our eyes have really been opened, and we finally understand why Zhou Yanru said that this world belongs to you scholars."

"It's true."

"In the entire Shaanxi Province, [-]% of the officials, most of the soldiers, and the imperial guards have all been bribed by you."

"For a whole month, we didn't know anything."

"If General Lu hadn't happened to pass by and uncover this matter, we would probably still be kept in the dark until now."

"As expected of the best Confucian in the world, it's really a good idea."

"Why don't we just blow up our old Zhu's stall and let Kong Yanzhi take charge?"

When Huang Jin heard this, the cold sweat on his forehead dripped down like a waterfall.

I kept wondering in my mind what on earth this man wanted to do?

Do we really want to kill all the Confucian scholars in the world?

For a while, Huang Jin didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

If it offends His Majesty, it will cut off Confucianism's way of survival.

Then he is a sinner.

"What? You're not talking again?"

"Okay, if you don't say it, I'll let someone else say it for you."

"Come here, bring us Yuan Chonghuan and Guo Yunhou who practice state affairs!"

After waiting for a while, the person below could not speak.

Li Chen raised his brows slightly and gave the order.

Not long after, the three people who were tied up were brought to the main hall.

Seeing His Majesty sitting on the steps holding a sword, the three of them immediately panicked!

He quickly knelt down and kowtowed.

"The guilty minister has met His Majesty!"

Li Chen looked at the three people who were brought up with a somewhat emotional expression.

Not to mention Yuan Chonghuan, this man himself has problems.

The evaluation of practicing state affairs in history is quite good.

In the Southern Ming Dynasty, he was appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War and the Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Hubu.

It can be regarded as a lifelong loyalty to the Ming Dynasty.

"You also know that you are guilty?"

"When practicing state affairs, let's talk about it from beginning to end."

"One, five, ten, don't hide anything!"

Lian Guoshi looked at Zhu Youjian in front of him with a slightly bitter look on his face.

He shook his head and then opened his mouth to tell what happened to him from the beginning.

About ten minutes.

By the time he finished speaking, Wen Tiren and others' faces were as black as the bottom of a pot, and they were very angry!

Awesome!

Really awesome!

TMD, what a good plan!
