Prince of Chaos

Chapter 333 Overkill
As the saying goes, when a wall falls, everyone pushes it, and when a drum breaks, everyone beats it.

The same principle applies to humans.

Wang Bao, the former commander-in-chief of Ji Town, and others have been captured by the Ministry of War, and have now been handed over to the Ministry of Punishment.

From the moment Wang Bao and the others were officially taken down, the entire Nine Frontiers towns looked sideways at them.

Looking at Wang Bao's miserable end, they didn't think about their own future. Instead, they all complained to the court, condemning Wang Bao and others for their corrupt and lawless behavior.

His choice of words and sentences and the attitude of righteous speech confuse everyone.

After Zhu Changluo saw the memorials of these border generals, he didn't say anything, and directly ordered the cabinet and the Ministry of War to reply and praise the loyalty of the border town generals in Shangshu.

The civil servants were relatively quiet. They were not as excited as the general soldiers of the border town, but their silence made Zhu Changluo silent.

"That's not a good sign."

Zhu Changluo said to Wei Zhongxian who was waiting by his side.

After Wei Zhongxian heard Zhu Changluo's words, he quickly asked, "What's wrong, master?"

Zhu Changluo looked at Wei Zhongxian, who was a little restless, and said, "It's nothing. Go and find Zhong Huamin, and ask him if you have anything to say."

Wei Zhongxian replied with a low eyebrow, "Yes."

When Zhong Weimin arrived, Zhu Changluo had just finished reading a memorial in his hand.

"Sir, see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Changluo looked up at Zhong Huamin, smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong, please get up."

Then, Zhu Changluo bestowed a seat as usual.

After Zhong Huamin sat down, Zhu Changluo asked, "I have one question I would like to ask Mr. Zhong."

Zhong Huamin leaned slightly and said, "Please speak, Your Highness."

Zhu Changluo said, "What do you think about the situation in Jizhen?"

When Zhong Huamin heard that Zhu Changluo asked about Jizhen, he was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect Zhu Changluo to ask him this question.

Zhong Huamin suppressed the excitement in his heart and replied: "I am terrified, the matter of Ji Town is not something I can talk about."

Zhu Changluo was not angry when he heard Zhong Huamin's cautious answer. After all, this matter is indeed not Zhong Huamin's responsibility.

Zhu Changluo smiled and said: "It's okay, just chat casually. Gu also wants to hear outside opinions."

"Yes." At this time, Zhong Huamin began to answer Zhu Changluo's question.

Zhong Huamin said: "Your Highness, I think that the matter of Ji Town should be delayed rather than rushed."

After Zhu Changluo heard this answer, he was a little dissatisfied, but he didn't show it. Instead, he leaned back and asked lightly, "Why?"

Zhong Huamin said: "His Royal Highness, now the Korean front is fighting, and Ji Town is the last line of defense of the capital, and it is not too far away from the Korean battlefield. If Ji Town is dealt with too urgently and seriously, it may cause the military officers in the court to be different. Mind, this is not conducive to the stability of the war situation."

After Zhu Changluo heard Zhong Huamin's words, he nodded slightly, indicating that Zhong Huamin was right.

However, Zhu Changluo is not worried about this problem at the moment.

Zhu Changluo said, "Mr. Zhong, look at this."

Then, Zhu Changluo gave Zhong Huamin the memorial of the soldiers from the Nine Borders.

Zhu Changluo said: "Since the commander-in-chief of the Nine Frontiers of the Ming Dynasty learned about the case of Jizhen, they have also gone to the shuffle one after another, expressing their support for the court to handle the case of Jizhen seriously. At the same time, they also reprimanded Wang Bao, the former commander-in-chief of Jizhen. The emperor's grace, arrogant self-importance, killing the good and pretending to be meritorious, etc. What does Mr. Zhong think?"

Zhong Huamin listened to Zhu Changluo's words, and at the same time quickly flipped through the paperwork in his hand. He really didn't expect these generals to support the Jizhen case so unanimously.

This is something Zhong Huamin never expected.

Zhong Huamin asked puzzledly: "Your Highness, why is this?"

Zhu Changluo said: "This is all thanks to Li Shangshu."

"Li Shangshu? Li Chengliang?"

Zhong Huamin was puzzled, but he understood immediately.

He understood what was going on.

It may really be due to Li Chengliang that the general soldiers of the border town reacted like this.

Of course, the credit here is not what Li Chengliang did.Rather, it was because Li Chengliang became the reason why he was in charge of the Ministry of War, one of the six departments of the central government, from a general.

Li Chengliang's gorgeous turn gave all the generals an option that they had never imagined before.

Moreover, the Jizhen case can be seen from the news that it was Li Chengliang who led the case from the investigation to the outbreak.

Since it was Li Chengliang who detonated it, even though this case looks scary.

However, in the eyes of these generals, this is Li Chengliang's vote!
Since it is a nomination certificate, and the unlucky guy has already been selected, as the side guard guarding one side, he is eager to have the luck and progress of Li Chengliang.

They would naturally follow Li Chengliang's heavy hammer and hammer Wang Bao down to death.

Anyway, they see this as an excellent opportunity to draw a line with evil.Certainly not let it go in vain.

After Zhong Huamin came back to his senses, Zhu Changluo said, "I just want to ask you, or what the civil servants think."

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhong Huamin and said these words directly.

When Zhong Huamin heard Zhu Changluo's questioning, he paused.

Then he said: "Chen, I have no idea."

Zhu Changluo said: "Oh? Is that so? Since the Jizhen case broke out, both the father and the orphan have issued strict decrees requiring the cabinet to seriously investigate and deal with the case. Now under the leadership of the cabinet, the round trial is also going on simultaneously. According to the information sent by Dongchang today, 360 people have been arrested in the Jizhen case. Among them, 46 local officials and 18 Beijing officials were involved. In the courtyard, there is the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Households, and the highest rank is Shi Xing, the former Minister of the Ministry of War. What do you think about these people?"

After hearing such detailed data, Zhong Huamin's heart trembled.

The Ji Town case seemed bigger than he had imagined.

Now, how long have you been checking?Unexpectedly, officials outside Ji Town have already been involved.

Moreover, it can be known from Zhu Changluo's tone that the officials involved seem to be all civil officials, and there are also Beijing officials.

This is obviously beyond everyone's expectations.

This is the rhythm of setting off a big prison.

Zhong Huamin was nervous for a moment, and then replied: "I am worried that the involvement will be too big, which will affect the stability of the court."

Zhu Changluo said: "Too much involvement? Aren't all the corrupt officials involved? Does the investigation of these corrupt officials affect the court situation? Could it be that all the officials in the court have an affair with these corrupt officials?"

Zhong Huamin was frightened violently, and said: "I am terrified."

Zhu Changluo looked at Zhong Huamin, he was a little disappointed.How capable and upright Zhong Huamin was when he was in Henan.

When helping him deal with the issues of the clan and relatives, he was so orderly and thoughtful.

How did he lose his sense of propriety when it came to this question?
Is it because too many civil servants are involved in this case?Does it make him, a civil servant, feel a bit sad?

However, Zhu Changluo knew that since this case, Fang Shoushi, who was also a civil servant, and Xing Jie, who was in charge of the court, these two senior officials of the court have clearly expressed their attitudes. case.

It can be seen from this that Zhu Changluo couldn't help thinking, is it because Zhong Huamin lacks experience, doesn't get involved in side affairs, and doesn't take the lead?
Zhu Changluo sighed, and this sigh was like thunder to Zhong Huamin's ears!
Zhu Changluo was disappointed in him. Once he was disappointed, the chance of future improvement might be ruined.

Therefore, when he thought about the future, when he thought about the ambition in his heart, Zhong Huamin suddenly woke up.

He knew that his answer and the caution he shouldn't have disappointed the young and promising crown prince.

However, it is not too late to make up for it!

Zhong Huamin immediately knelt on the ground, and said firmly: "I'm a death penalty! I look forward and backward, don't understand His Highness's painstaking efforts, don't understand the emperor's holy will, excuse the offenders, and make false statements about the court situation. Your Highness, please punish!"

Hearing Zhong Huamin's words that changed his attitude so drastically, Zhu Changluo couldn't help but glance at him more.

Because, Zhu Changluo understood that after Zhong Huamin said this, it meant that he had settled his position.No longer divide the interests represented by the so-called civil servants or generals.

He was going to follow Zhu Changluo all the way to the dark.

Zhu Changluo listened to Zhong Huamin's words, and looked at this little man in the south who was now in his fifties, and he also made a secret decision in his heart.

He decided to take another risk and give Zhong Huamin another chance!After all, there are too few available people in his hands, especially too few senior court officials who are sincerely loyal to him.

This is unacceptable to Zhu Changluo who is already in prison!

Zhu Changluo said: "Get up. Mr. Zhong is so relieved that he can think about this. The errands in the clan's mansion are still of great use to the master. I just thought of a suitable errand and planned to recommend Mr. Zhong to do it."
