Zhu Biao nodded casually after hearing this, this kind of thing broke out, naturally it was a shock, not only a matter of Song Yaozu, since the first year of Wu, Lao Zhu has been sorting out the rule of officials, and since the founding of the country, he has ruled the world with heavy regulations, and there are three or four thousand prisoners sentenced to death in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs, including many high-ranking officials and nobles.

Have these people been stolen and replaced? This is not a trivial matter, like Song Yaozu, who escaped from the sky and the sea, is like that, at most, he will do evil in a remote corner of the Ming Dynasty, and those high-ranking officials and nobles are different, they are all heroes who were killed in troubled times, and they are likely to lurk in the shadows, waiting for one day to make waves.

Lao Zhu naturally can't bear this kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder, it can be expected that in the next few days, there will be many people who will be destroyed and exterminated, Zhu Biao is just worried about killing too much, and the six yamen can't work.

After a while, the prison guards of the Criminal Department also confessed, except for the two who wanted to commit suicide, the rest were all guilty of extortion and extortion.

If you don't get some oil and water yourself, it will be difficult for the family to eat enough, but their insatiable family members are ruined, it is really difficult to sort out, not to mention that the prisoners who can enter the prison of the Ministry of Punishment are not a good thing, and finally Zhu Biao ordered people to be whipped fifty, and life and death are up to life.

Yan Donglai said on the side: "There are still problems in the prison of the Criminal Department, and the ministers will thoroughly investigate them as soon as possible, as for the ........."

Zhu Biao interrupted him and said: "The ministers are powerful, and those who are not strong are tricks, and now the general trend of purging the rule of officials has been achieved, and the power and scheming are not enough to rely on, you do your duty, don't let the palace down." ”

Yan Donglai bowed down and promised, this is the difference between a courtier and a king, no matter how strong the official is, he only relies on power, while the emperor is pressed by the general trend of the world, and the mantis arm is the only one who is broken.

After Zhu Biao finished speaking, he left to return to the palace, Zhao Yong led the troops to escort him, Guo Xing stayed in the criminal department, Zhu Biao closed his eyes after getting into the car and recuperated, and there was still trouble in a while.

Because Zhu Biao had ordered martial law in the capital just now, the road was quite smooth, and the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven could predict the wind and rain in advance, and they all knew that something was going to happen.

After entering the palace gate, I got off the car and walked to the Fengtian Palace, and from a distance, I saw a large number of people kneeling in front of the main hall in a regular manner, and saw Zhu Biao coming and hurriedly kowtowed: "The ministers and others see His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness Qianqiu!" ”

Zhu Biao's face was no longer as gentle as usual, and he walked in front of them with a calm face, while Zhao Yong followed triumphantly, raising his eyebrows towards Xungui, making Liu Anhou, Wang Zhi and others grit their teeth, and the Xungui were all angry, knowing that this matter had little to do with them, so they didn't worry too much.

Zhu Biao saw that a few important people were missing, so he asked, "What about Wang Xiang and Xu Shuai?" ”

Hubu Shangshu opened his mouth and replied: "Returning to Your Highness, after the ministers knelt for half an hour, Wang Xiang, Hu Xiang, Han Zhongcheng, Xu Shuai, Cao Guogong and others were announced. ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu opened his mouth again: "Since Your Highness is here, go in and persuade the saint, no matter what, you should focus on the dragon body, and you can't get angry." ”

The rest of the civil officials also looked like they were loyal and patriotic, and they all opened their mouths to hope that the prince would go in to test the water, hoping that the saint would see his favorite prince, His Royal Highness, be able to extinguish the fire.

Before Zhu Biao could speak, Deng Yu, the Duke of Weiguo on Xungui's side, scolded: "You black-hearted people, now that the incident happened, you thought of the holy dragon body, what did you think about earlier!" ”

Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song Guo, who had just returned to Beijing from the west to report, also answered: "As the saying goes, why bother with today? You guys really opened the eyes of our gang of bigwigs, and the Son of Heaven dared to play the means of stealing beams and changing pillars, and a certain family was really ashamed of himself. “

Yan'an Hou Tang Shengzong said with a smile: "Before you go to the guillotine on the other day, we will personally send the guillotine wine, so as to see if your tricks are good this time." ”

Zheng Yuchun, the Marquis of Xingyang, shouted and said: "If it's okay, then Lao Tzu, the Marquis of Xingyang, is not appropriate, go back and lead the horse to you, and learn to learn, hahahahaha!" ”

Zhu Biao looked at the smiling nobles speechlessly, these guys were obviously kneeling on the ground, how could they still have such a strong sense of superiority, is it really good to be so gloating

The civil officials all had black faces, although many people didn't know about it, but it was obvious that there was a problem with the six departments, so they would inevitably be implicated, after all, no one was very clean when they looked deeper.

The officials of the six ministries and the Zhongshu Province are not easy to talk to, but the imperial historians of the Imperial History Observatory are not accustomed to the nobles, their daily routine is to eat and sleep on the top of the emperor and scold the nobles, and a royal historian at the end of the civil official scolded: "How can the front of the Fengtian Palace be so formless!" This official will be impeached later! ”

The nobles are not afraid of him, it is fun for so many people to be boarded together, after the founding of the country, they have not been less angry with these bird officials, and they have to take care of big things, but now they have pulled their pants, and this opportunity to laugh at them naturally cannot be let go.

Zhu Biao saw that he was about to scold them, Li Wenzhong suddenly walked out, and helplessly looked at the nobles and said: "Spread the holy word, everyone who laughed loudly just now went to get twenty court rods and beat us hard!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the nobles knelt obediently and did not say a word, as if it was not them who were wantonly mocking just now, and the civil officials looked at it and gritted their teeth, but now they can't protect themselves and don't have the heart to stagnate with a group of fools.

Li Wenzhong said helplessly: "You are laughing too loudly, you can hear it clearly, don't let me name it, let alone His Royal Highness the Crown Prince watching it." ”

"Your mother, Lao Li, are you a donkey's voice? Why are you laughing so loudly, now it's okay to go get the stick, be careful of your big fat ass. ”

"Phew, your laughing back molars are exposed, and your mother is embarrassed to say let's, let's go, let's talk about it back then, we have the blessings and the hardships together, and there is no shortage of people to lead the board, and Old Tang, what kind of little girl is your son pretending to be, hurry up!"

Feng Sheng, Duke of Song Guo, and Deng Yue, Duke of Weiguo, were decent people, and they simply got up neatly and bowed to the prince, and then took the court staff.

Zhu Biao looked at their backs thoughtfully, Li Wenzhong walked up to him and saluted and said softly: "Your Highness forgives your sins, they are all rough and casual, but they are loyal to the Holy Lord and His Highness." ”

Zhu Biao shook his head: "Rough people and elegant people are not worrying about this palace. ”

After finishing speaking, Zhu Biao glanced at the sluggish and panicked civil officials, and then walked into the Fengtian Palace, and when he crossed the threshold, he felt the cold and serious atmosphere.
