Zhu Youjian: Taizu has an order! kill!

"I heard it all!"

"A dignified formation envoy, a high-ranking official of the second rank."

"To be ignored to this extent overnight."

"No one in Shaanxi reported it."

"All the Confucian virtues you talk about have been eaten by dogs!"

Although Li Chen was already angry, he still couldn't help but get a little angry every time he heard this.

Even Shaanxi has been infiltrated like this.

He couldn't even imagine what the situation was like in the south.

"My lord is guilty!"

"Please, Your Majesty, punish me to reinvigorate the court!"

"But please, Your Majesty, for the sake of your hard work over the years, please leave a trace of my family's blood!"

When practicing state affairs, I knew that this time I would be punished by death.

He couldn't help but kowtow, praying for a glimmer of grace toward Zhu Youjian.

It would be fine if he died, but he wanted to save the life of his little girl.

"Oh, practice national affairs, practice national affairs..."

"Your ancestor Lian Zining was so strong-willed, how could he be like this now!"

"Back then, Chengzu tied up your ancestor Lian Zining and brought him to court. As a result, Lian Zining acted righteously and denounced Chengzu for usurping power and seeking the throne, which was a treasonous act."

"Even if 370 people were killed in the end and [-] people were exiled, I still don't have any regrets."

"In the end, when it comes to you, with just such a slight threat, you abandoned the entire people of Shaanxi."

"Tell me, if I spare you, what will the people who starve to death think of us?"

"Your children are human beings, aren't they the same as those of the common people?"

Li Chen's words were very cold.

After hearing this, everyone below even lowered their heads and wanted to hide it in their crotches.

Your Majesty is so angry!

Even the bad things that Grandpa Cheng did were mentioned.

Are you really not afraid of going down and getting slapped?

Zhu Youjian, who was quietly watching, felt helpless at this time.

What can he do?

Damn it, these younger generations shouldn’t be able to comment on Grandpa Cheng’s bad things.

Especially after listening to Taizu's words, Lian Zining is still standing...

In the eyes of hundreds of officials, this is probably treason!

But it was Taizu who opened his mouth now.

Don't even say a few words against Grandpa Cheng. Even if you scold Grandpa Cheng, you can only endure it.

"I... I am ashamed of your majesty! I am ashamed of my ancestors!"

"I...I am guilty!"

"Your Majesty please punish!"

Lian Guoshi's eyes turned red and he hit the ground again.

He knew that he really messed up the matter.

If the ancestor Lian Zining was present that day, he would probably have sprayed Kong Yanzhi until his head was bloody!

"You really deserve to die."

"But you are indeed a good official."

"Our people visited the countryside and the people in Shaanxi spoke highly of you."

"See for yourself, these are the fingerprints of people in more than a dozen counties in Shaanxi."

"I hope our emperor can be given a lighter sentence."

Li Chen took out a piece of Baijuan from his sleeve and threw it in front of Lian Guoshi.

Wei Zhongxian did not hide the fact that he was caught practicing state affairs.

Soon after the grain was released, many people came to Xi'an to intercede for state affairs.

"This..."

Lian Guoshi stared with disbelief on his face!

Looking at the countless bright red thumb prints on Bai Juan's face on the ground.

His whole body trembled slightly.

In the end, he left two lines of hot tears and cried bitterly.

"My fault..."

"It's my fault!"

Li Chen looked coldly at Lian Guoshi, who was crying bitterly, and finally made a verdict.

"Killing you is easy, just one blow."

"But we don't want to kill you today."

"Seeing that you have the intention to repent, then we will let you continue to be the chief envoy of Shaanxi."

"The people you gave up saved your life, and we want you to spend the rest of your life repaying this love!"

"As for your family, stay in the capital to avoid being arrested again."

"how?"

"Would you like to?"

Lian Guo Shi, who was already waiting for death, immediately raised his head when he heard these words!

His Majesty looked up at him in disbelief!

what's the situation?

I..

I don't have to die?

Behind the scenes, a friend of Lian Guoshi saw Lian Guoshi's delay in responding and couldn't help but push him in the face!

What are you doing?

Although I don’t know why this man let you go.

But why don’t you thank me for such a good thing!

"minister..."

"I thank the emperor for his kindness!"

After being pushed into state affairs like this, he finally came to his senses and quickly kowtowed to express gratitude.

He really didn't expect that he would still have a way to survive!

"Thank you for what?"

"If you want to thank me, go and thank the people of Shaanxi."

"They saved you."

"Otherwise, according to our temper, you would have gone to Zhongyi Temple to report."

Li Chen waved his hands unmoved.

He really wanted to kill Lian Guoshi.

But then I thought about it and decided to give him another chance.

This man is one of the rare honest officials in the court, and he is fair and loving to the people.

And these are all what the Ming Dynasty needs.

At this time, Shaanxi is facing a lot of waste. Instead of replacing him, it is better to let him take the blame and make meritorious service.

"Yes..."

"I know it."

"I will live in Shaanxi my whole life!"

"Even if you are a cow or a horse, you must repay their kindness!"

Lian Guoshi nodded fiercely, feeling lucky but also filled with overwhelming regret.

He really shouldn't have been like this that day!

"Okay, just kneel down first."

"When today's matter is over, go back and take charge of the overall situation of Shaanxi."

"If you do something like this again, we will kill all nine of your tribes!"

Shaking his head, Li Chen reminded him again and then turned his attention to Yuan Chonghuan.

It's understandable that he's practicing state affairs, after all, it's hard to have both loyalty and filial piety.

But you bastard really deserves to die!

"Yuan Chonghuan...it's your turn."

"Spit out everything you know."

"It just so happens that I also want to know why the meritorious generals of the imperial court sacrificed their lives for them."

Yuan Chonghuan, who was kneeling on the ground, sighed after hearing this.

Glancing at Zhang Weixian who was glaring at him next to him, he felt somewhat bitter in his heart.

He caused big trouble for the general this time.

"Your Majesty, this is what happened..."

Yuan Chonghuan was straightforward and quickly told the story in detail.

It turns out that the reason why he was able to continuously climb up the ranks in the army was because of the support of the Kong family and others.

They wanted to let Yuan Chonghuan take charge of Liaodong, and then open the door to smuggling grain and grass.

By the way, get rid of that Mao Wenlong.

In this way, Huang Taiji will definitely attack Ming Dynasty without any worries.

At that time, it was Yuan Chonghuan's opportunity to make contributions.

As long as he can continuously defeat Huang Taiji, Yuan Chonghuan's status will become higher and higher.

If Houjin can't take it for a long time, he will continue to plunder the surrounding areas and increase smuggling efforts.

At the same time, the imperial court will continue to distribute food and salary, all of which have room for manipulation.

Over and over again, Yuan Chonghuan received military honors, while those businessmen from aristocratic families made enough money.

The previous great victories achieved by Yuan Chonghuan also proved the feasibility of this method.

"If I had known earlier, I would have listened to the teacher."

"We really should put a stop to these people."

"In the end, I fell for the word greed."

"Greeting for merit and greed for power."

Yuan Chonghuan silently told everything he knew.

Finally, he smiled sadly and shook his head.

Greed is harmful!
