King of Han Dynasty of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 94 Zhu Gaosui: Are you sure you want to play such a big game? (Please subscribe)

The next day.

In the palace of the King of Han.

Under the blue sky, a light breeze blew through the newly sprouted branches from time to time.

The morning sun shines down, covering the earth with a layer of golden uniform, and from time to time, the melodious chirping of birds can be heard around the courtyard.

Zhu Gaosui's figure strode in.

Zhu Gaoxu, who was leaning in the courtyard and looking at the unknown book in his hand with half-squinted eyes, slowly put down the book in his hand after seeing the visitor, pointed to the chair and hot tea that had been prepared for him, and smiled. Said:
  "Third brother, sit down."

Zhu Gaosui, who was coming, saw the leisurely look of the person in front of him and couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said:

"Second brother, do you still have the leisure time to drink tea and read here?"

"I heard that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has started an internal investigation."

"I can tell you, we are different."

"We are all not fools, we have a clear mind."

"What should come can't run away, and what should run can't be caught."

"With the boss's bastard skills, if I give them some advice, I'm afraid this matter won't be that simple or easy to detect."

After hearing this, Zhu Gaosui shook his head in embarrassment and couldn't help but smile.

"Is it possible that you just want me to drink tea and chat with you?"

Too busy!
  If this matter hadn't been through his hands, he would have almost believed this bastard's lies.

He killed all those corrupt officials one by one when they were in the weapons workshop.

"Don't tell me your idea. Just these people who can't wait to see the prince are enough for him to drink. They need to explain to the old man."

"I am responsible for the self-examination and supervision of the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

Did something go wrong?
  You are only responsible for supervision, not for investigating cases and arresting people!

"You still come up with ideas, are you really a brainless boss?"

Zhu Gaojiu turned to look at Zhu Gaosui, smiled noncommittally, and said:
  "No rush, no rush."

Simply, he didn't bother to dwell too much on this matter, and instead asked aloud:
  "hehe."

I know that the guy in front of me is not so easy to fool or encourage since the incident of becoming king.

"So stop being alarmist here."

"Second brother, what's going on with you?"

Are you busy at the weapons shop?
  Where are you, this liar?

"Aren't you afraid that their officials will protect each other and cover up each other?"

What on earth is going on?
  Could it be that the second brother has found something, or has some evidence?
  Thinking of this, Zhu Gaosui half-closed his eyes, looked at him with some surprise, and asked aloud:
  "Second brother, who do you want to arrest or whose house do you want to ransack?"

"Does the old man think he dares to interfere in this matter?"

What the hell?
  Arrest someone and ransack their home?
  As soon as these words came out, Zhu Gaosui was stunned on the spot, a little speechless.

Knowing that this bastard was just talking, he didn't waste any time and told him the reasons why he came to him.

"More haste less speed."

"Hahaha"

Can you find something a little more normal when making excuses?

"I'm afraid he won't have time to hide away at this time. As for those people who went to the Prince's Mansion, Third Brother, based on your intelligence network, has the Prince met those people?"

And you, a person who doesn't even go out the door, didn't check anything and just said you were going to arrest someone and ransack their home.

There was nothing left and the case was closed at that time.

"You have to give me a thorough explanation first."

"The left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate: Liu Guan."

"Don't you go and take a look?"

After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him meaningfully, looked at him with a half-smile, and replied:

"Why did you summon me here so early in the morning?"

Zhu Gaoxu: "????"

Is there any evidence?

"I came here today because I need you to cooperate with me. Come with me to catch someone and ransack their home."

"I heard that after the court yesterday, Chen Ying, Wuzhong, Liu Guan and other officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate went directly to visit the Prince's Mansion without even returning home."

"My Jin Yiwei has not been idle at all during this period due to matters at the weapon shop."

Having said this, he paused, with a playful smile on his face, and asked:
  "Boss?"

"If you don't do it well, you might end up with no success."

"The imperial court is a third-rank official."

"Do you dare to go?"

Hey!
  Hearing the name, Zhu Gaosui's expression changed instantly, and he stood up suddenly. The tea cup in his hand seemed to have been moved too violently, and the hot tea splashed on his fingers. He couldn't help but let out a soft cry in pain.

He subconsciously threw the teacup in his hand out, and a crisp shattering sound sounded.

Immediately, he ignored the burns on his hands, looked at Zhu Gaoxu in disbelief, and exclaimed loudly:
  "Boy, are you sick?"

"Are you crazy?"

"What do you want to do?"

"The left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate!"

"That old boy Liu Guan is a third-rank official in the imperial court. He can be said to be a very important figure in the imperial court."

"You touch him, arrest him, and ransack his home?"

"Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"Although the old man said to clean up the Metropolitan Procuratorate, it doesn't mean that you can let your temper run wild and do whatever you want."

While speaking, Zhu Gaosui subconsciously reached out to touch Zhu Gaoxu's forehead, trying to see if this guy had a fever and was not clear-headed, so he would say such arrogant words.

No wonder Zhu Gaosui had such a big reaction.

The main reason is that Zhu Gaoxu's words are too shocking and shocking.

It was completely beyond his expectation.

I never dreamed that he would say such things.

He would think about taking action against Liu Guan, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Even though Zhu Gaosui was not afraid of the sky or the earth, he was at a loss and frightened at this moment.

"Second brother, let's discuss it."

"Let's switch to another person. No matter who it is, I will accompany you to make trouble. You can arrest people and confiscate homes."

"You can't do anything to Liu Guan."

"You really can't take action. Big problems will occur and the sky will be broken."

"When the time comes, not only will we not be able to get off stage, but the old man will definitely deal with us."

"Those public prosecutors from the Metropolitan Procuratorate will drown us if they spit out foam."

"The impeachment memorials and words against the two of us will definitely flood onto the old man's desk."

"The gains outweigh the losses, the gains outweigh the losses!"

After hearing these words and looking at the nervous and concerned look on the face of the person in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu rarely made any ridicule or ridicule, knowing that the person in front of him said this for his own good.

After a brief moment of pondering, a trace of determination flashed across Zhu Gaoxu's face and he asked:

"What if I have to do something to him?"

In an instant, the two people's eyes met. Zhu Gaosui half-squinted his eyes. He couldn't help but think of Zhu Di's unexplainable behavior during the previous court meeting. A trace of speculation could not help but arise in his heart, and he asked in surprise:

"Second brother, did the old man instruct you to do this?"

"The old man is unhappy with Liu Guan and wants to use his power to persuade him?" "What if I say no?"

Regarding the speculation of the person in front of him, Zhu Gaoxu half-closed his eyes and did not answer directly. Instead, he glanced at him meaningfully and replied.

"Just tell me whether you want to go or not!"

Say it.

He stared at him blankly.

Zhu Gaosui fell silent for a moment, not knowing what to say.

In his heart, he felt a little unsure for a moment, not knowing what kind of medicine Zhu Gaoxu was selling in his gourd.

Although Zhu Gaoxu in front of him said that it was not the old man who ordered it, the question is, does it mean it is not the old man's order?
  If there really was no instruction from Zhu Di behind his back, would Zhu Gaoxu really be so courageous that he dared to run towards a third-rank official in the imperial court with a knife?

Moreover, this third-rank official is not just an ordinary third-rank official, he is also the left deputy censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate! !

Each and every one of them spoke to the officials.
  But someone who even the emperor dares to fight against.

Zhu Gaoxu is not a fool, he is a shrewd and shameless person.

Logically speaking, it was impossible to stab Liu Guan without any reason.

It is true that even if Liu Guan really has a problem, how big of a problem can it be?

When you reach this level as an official, even if you are found guilty of some corruption, at most you will be scolded, fined and confiscated of all corrupt money, and then your salary will be forfeited for several years.

Unless it involves an unknown number of people and an unknown size of corruption case.

Otherwise, it is rare to be able to really pull him down, deprive him of his official position and put him in jail.

Under such circumstances, there is no meaning at all. At most, it will disgust others, and at the same time, it will be hated by others. After this incident, with Liu Guan's status, he will stumble and disgust you.

It's not something that ordinary people can compare to.

He was impeached every now and then, and again when he went out of his way a little bit.

It makes you miserable and makes you feel uncomfortable.

Based on Liu Guan's position, if he couldn't be beaten to death so that he could never stand up, there was no need to touch him.

After a brief moment of silence, Zhu Gaosui's expression became extremely solemn, and he couldn't help but remind him, saying:

"Second brother, are you sure you must touch Liu Guan?"

"Are you sure that the evidence in your hand can kill Liu Guan and make him unable to stand up for the rest of his life?"

"If you can't, I advise you to save the matter."

"Don't steal the chicken but lose the rice when the time comes and shoot yourself in the foot. It makes no sense."

Hear this.

Zhu Gaoxu laughed incredulously.

Liu Guan passed the imperial examination in the 18th year of Hongwu's reign, and was awarded the title of Cheng of Taigu County. He was recommended to be promoted to the position of Supervisory Censor.

In the 30th year of Hongwu, he was promoted to acting censor of Zuo Qiandu.

In the first year of Yongle, Liu Guan was promoted to Yunnan's envoy. Before he left for his post, he paid homage to the right minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

In the second year of Yongle's reign, he was transferred to the position of Zuo Fudu Censor.

Finally, in the third year of Xuanzong's reign, he was found guilty of corruption.

Not only did Liu Guan accept bribes in private, but the censors were also corrupt and indulgent without any scruples.

Combined with the censor who was pushed out as a gun before, he later ordered someone to investigate carefully to find out who belonged to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and found that this person was familiar with Liu Guan.

And according to the evidence collected by the people below, Liu Guan is not only connected with the censor who was abandoned as an outcast, but also with many people.

Freezing three feet is not a day's cold.

Combining the above-mentioned circumstances, Zhu Gaoxu had serious doubts about Liu Guan's corruption, probably for more than a day or two.

Maybe it started during the Hongwu period.

It's just that it was done quite obscurely, and the court has been turbulent and unstable over the years, and no one has delved into it, so it has never been discovered.

If his guess is true, as long as Liu Guan's past is strictly investigated and his family assets are rigorously reviewed, what is discovered will definitely shock the court. The iron-clad facts are before us. Such a big, long-lasting, and involving many people corruption case.

I believe that with Zhu Laosi's character, let alone Liu Guan, who is just a third-grade official, even if he were a few levels higher than him, he might not be able to escape the fate of being imprisoned, having his family confiscated and exterminated.

Under such circumstances, can Liu Guan stand up?

Is there still a chance to cause trouble for him later?

What about dreaming?
  is it possible?
  And just above the court, Emperor Yongle's ambiguous attitude.

I originally wanted to use his hand to rectify the civil servants in the court, but I was afraid that I might have received or heard some rumors.

In this case, it is mutually beneficial.

When the time comes to take action, as long as he gets substantial evidence, Zhu Di may be more aggressive than him and more ruthless than he expected.

So, what else does he have to worry about?
  Even if no problem was found in the end, given his status as the Prince of Han, Liu Guan would at best order someone to impeach him and disgust him.

It won't have any real impact on him.

As for reputation?

Since the Battle of Jingnan, have the civil servants ever treated him favorably?

Did you give him a good reputation?
  Everyone behind his back scolded him for being stinky, brave, and useless. Do you really think he didn't know these words?
  And he took action to rectify the civil servants. The original intention of killing the civil servants was to plan for the implementation of a big plan in the future. How could he back down?

If he really wants to retreat, how can he implement his subsequent plans?

Are these princelings who support the prince allowed to live peacefully?

In the end, he slowly sidelined the generals, plotted against him, gathered military power, and even let the generals who supported him disappear unknowingly?
  How could he let something like this happen again?
  Wouldn't it be true that in the end, let alone rebelling, I am afraid that I will be 'rebelled'. I will end up with a miserable end of death and death, and I will be slapped with an unwarranted stigma.

For Zhu Gaoxu now, let’s not talk about whether he will rebel in the later period or whether he will compete for that position.

But you must have that strength and that ability.

Otherwise, it’s just fish on the chopping board.

In the end, you don’t even have the ability to resist. How sad is it to be ‘rebelled’?

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Gaoxu nodded heavily, with a look of determination on his face, and said in a deep voice:
  "The problems with Liu Guan were enough to cause shock to the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty."

"Don't talk about turning over, confiscating the family and exterminating the clan is an easy task."

"Do you dare to do it, the third child?"

"If you don't dare, just pretend that I didn't say anything about what happened today, and I will find someone else."

"I think that with my ability, I can order the generals to mobilize troops. Although I have gone overboard, it is not a bad thing. At worst, I will be criticized."

As soon as he said this, Zhu Gaosui felt the determination in his words and asked in a deep voice:

"Really?"

"you sure?"

"Not with the intention of deceiving others?"

Asked three times in a row.

Zhu Gaoxu nodded with great confidence and said:

"It's true."

"Believe me, if this operation is successful, your participation in it must be a great achievement."

"I'm afraid your Jinyiwei prison will be overcrowded."

After thinking for a long time, he stared at Zhu Gaoxu for a long time and said:
  "Row!"

"It's a shame that the child won't be able to trap the wolf."

"This time, we will go out of our way to go crazy with you."

"but"

Having said this, he paused, glanced at Zhu Gaoxu coldly with deep meaning, and said coldly:
  "Second brother, if you dare to cheat me on this matter."

"Now that this has happened, don't blame me for not caring about brotherhood and being cruel to you."

　Four thousand chapters, "Time" really tried its best.
