I, Zhu Houzhao, join the US imperialist chat group

Chapter 79: Submit your name! All civil and military officials want to execute Wang Shouren collectively!

what is this?
Giving both kindness and power?

Just now, you were tempted by a huge benefit, and now you are trying this trick?
The complex and shocked eyes of Jinling's civil and military officials all looked at Zhu Houzhao again, and the enthusiasm and enthusiasm just now were forced to cool down.

How could such a coincidence happen!

"This is actually happening!?"

"Tell me carefully what's going on!"

Zhu Houzhao immediately looked furious and looked at the censor.

"Yes, Your Majesty..."

"The thing is like this, yesterday..."

"..."

The censor immediately told what happened yesterday in front of all the civil and military officials.

As soon as these words came out, Zheng Ji, Zhu Fu, Liu Zhong and others in the front row subconsciously glanced at the two censors on the left and right of the Inspectorate. Although they did not speak, their eyes were already asking, "Did you arrange this?"

The first and second leaders of the Inspectorate immediately shook their heads calmly. It was obvious that they were unaware of this subordinate's actions.

The matter seems serious, even serious.

Normally, this kind of thing would pass by turning a blind eye, but if you really want to make a fuss out of this matter, you won't be able to stop it even if you weigh two thousand pounds.

Now is this a special moment, you have both ability and political integrity and you are going to give gifts? Are you still licking it and sending it to the pawns of the former cabinet?
"Your Majesty, they have pleaded guilty. Moreover, this is the list of officials who gave gifts and bribed yesterday..."

Sure enough, the trump card came out.

As soon as the censor said this, the expressions of all the officials present, including King Ning and King Anhua, changed.

"I regret that I shouldn't have been tempted..."

Zhu Fu felt regretful and panicked. The reason why they behaved like this was actually to test Zhu Houzhao. Unexpectedly, it seemed to be self-defeating now.

"Send it up!"

Zhu Houzhao spoke calmly.

So everyone's eyes were fixed on the list.

At this moment, Wang Hua and Han Ding neither struggled nor spoke. Instead, they felt a strange atmosphere in the court. They always felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Especially since they knew that Zhu Houzhao held a court meeting in such a formal manner, it stands to reason that all the civil and military officials in Jinling should be happy and excited. However, since the two of them came in, the atmosphere in the court was not what they expected. On the contrary -

They felt that some of their Jinling colleagues who had been harmonious yesterday were looking at them with resentful eyes.

What happened in the end?
Wang Shouren was even less qualified to speak. He had already buried his head low...feeling a huge social death.

At the same time, images of relatives and friends of their Wang family appeared in his mind, and he felt guilty. Mother, grandmother, second uncle, third uncle, all in neat order...two thousand seven hundred heads?
"Have both ability and political integrity..."

"You are highly respected..."

On the dragon chair, Zhu Houzhao pretended to glance at the list, and then looked at everyone in the court with a mocking gaze. Everyone he glanced at bowed their head.

They were afraid, but they were not afraid. It was at this juncture that this stain was grasped by the emperor.

They just regretted why they had to be there in person... regretted that they sat on the fence and did not dare to offend both sides.

"Han Ding, Wang Hua, Wang Shouren!"

"Can you three plead guilty? Do you have any objection to the above amount?"

Zhu Houzhao let them go for the time being and looked directly at the three of them, his eyes staying on Wang Shouren for a moment longer.

Is this the official who said he owed the imperial court more than two thousand heads? It's quite interesting.

"The guilty minister knows his guilt."

"The guilty minister knows his guilt."

Han Ding and Wang Hua were completely drooping, but they were not worried about their lives.

It just feels like a discredit to the cabinet.

In the face of such irrefutable evidence, they were destined to lose face for the cabinet, and their career was completely over.

Naturally, they don't know that what's the end of their career, the cabinet will also be finished.

Zhu Houzhao was very satisfied with the two people's guilty pleas, and soon found that Wang Shouren seemed to be wandering in the world, and couldn't help but be curious.

"Wang Shouren, what about you! Don't you plead guilty?"

He couldn't help but wonder what opinions this Wang Shouren could express.

"minister……"

Wang Shouren came back to his senses and looked face to face with Zhu Houzhao for the first time. He found that the emperor was just like this, young and immature, but he could control his life and death, and the life and death of their entire family.

"I only ask that when your majesty executes me, please don't behead me first. Let the executioner do it quickly. Take out my heart and have a look. I heard that the human heart is still conscious when it is separated from the body. I want to see what is going on in my heart at that time." Things are still thinking about things in my mind.”

Perhaps he already knew that death was imminent, so Wang Shouren said this by accident, making a big show of his face. As soon as these words came out, all the civil and military officials in the audience and Wang Hua all focused their astonished eyes on him.

What?
There was a strange silence in Fengtian Temple.

amount……

The corners of Zhu Houzhao's mouth twitched and he suppressed his smile.

Don't laugh, otherwise your dignity will fade away.

Unless you can't help it.

"Hahaha, your attitude towards confessing is good!"

He finally couldn't help laughing. The three thousand heads and the discussion of his heart and brain completely made Zhu Houzhao remember this special guy.

"However, it is not up to me to decide your guilt. We still have to look at the opinions of the ministers of the DPRK!"

"My dear friends, please tell me how to deal with these three people now!"

After laughing, Zhu Houzhao left the authority of how to deal with the three people to the courtiers.

Your Majesty wants them to completely break with the cabinet!

As soon as these words came out, Zhu Fu, Liu Zhong and others realized Zhu Houzhao's sinister intentions.

This is forcing them to take sides.

It can also be said to be a certificate of submission.

Let’s look at the list in Zhu Houzhao’s hand.

They had to admit that the hole they dug for themselves was now completely controlled by Zhu Houzhao.

"Your Majesty, I believe that the laws of the Ming Dynasty should be followed! The bribes of more than 100,000 taels are simply the most shocking amount since the founding of the Ming Dynasty! We should be punished severely! As for those who give bribes, they should also be punished according to the laws and regulations. Those who should be exempted should be exempted, and those who should be exempted should be exempted. Exile of exile!”

Zhu Fu immediately stood up and spoke righteously. He was reluctant to let the child catch the wolf. He really wanted to show his sincerity!
It doesn't matter if there is a stain in the emperor's hands, then he is considered one of his own.

"Yes! Duke Cheng Guo is right, and I also think that the law should be dealt with! Exile to exile, behead to behead!" Liu Zhong also quickly expressed his opinion.

"Yes, yes, yes! Your Majesty, behead him! According to the Ming Dynasty law, he embezzled sixty-two peeled day lilies! With such a huge amount, the nine tribes should be exterminated to serve as a warning to others!"

King Ning, King Anhua, etc. all added insult to injury.

"For such a heinous crime, it is not an exaggeration to punish him with death!"

And not only them, looking at the list in Zhu Houzhao's hand, others also quickly expressed their determination.

It's time to take sides!

It no longer matters what the sin is; what matters is showing loyalty.

Especially the officials who gave gifts yesterday were all afraid of being implicated, especially those in various criminal laws.

They couldn't be better at beating up their teammates!
No one has the wisdom to suggest that the death penalty for corruption has been abolished.

Now, it’s about taking a stand and taking sides.

At the same time, I also hope that Zhu Houzhao will be raised high and lowered gently to eliminate only the first culprit.

"This……"

"This... Mr. Liu..."

"Dong Chengguo..."

Amidst the shouts of death, Wang Hua was stunned and turned pale with fright.

Han Ding was also confused. He was confused again and again. He was confused three times in a row.

I said hello to you and me yesterday, but in the blink of an eye, everyone turned against each other so quickly.

Not only were they quick, but each one of them was so mean and vicious to them, as if they had really done something heinous.

Looking around, not only did no one speak to them, but they even deliberately avoided their sight.

What's going on here? Why don't we just have a formal court meeting? That's not enough, right?
Wang Shouren once again felt the sinister intentions of the officialdom, especially when he glanced at the familiar and unfamiliar officials who had enthusiastically called him Mr. Wang, "nephew and nephew" yesterday, and he was confused...

How can people's hearts be like this? He felt like he didn't know the world anymore.

Zhu Houzhao looked at this situation with satisfaction. This was the scene he wanted.

No more fence-sitters are allowed in Jinling!

At least for now! Their interests are the same as those of their enemies!

After this move, let’s see how they face the cabinet.

"Okay, stop! Where is the Censor of the Inspectorate?"

He decisively stopped his hand and looked at the Inspectorate.

　I wish you all a Happy New Year! Good luck in the Year of the Dragon! May you be happy and prosperous!
