Zhu Hao heard Zhao Nanxing's words just now behind the screen, and almost rushed out without holding back, but in the end, Zhu Hao still endured it, and could only scold in his heart: "Zhao Nanxing, you old gangster, you still want to be shameless, and let my father be arbitrary, did you TNND give Lao Tzu's father a second choice?" This old gang dish is really worse than Zou Yuanbiao's old gang dish! ”

Just when Zhu Hao was behind the screen, secretly venting the dissatisfaction in his heart, Zhu Changluo's face was also very bad and glanced at Zhao Nanxing, but he didn't say anything, after all, what Zhao Nanxing said just now was not leaky, not only expressed his own meaning, but also did not directly say the words of asking Zhu Changluo to kill Zhu Hao, Zhu Changluo had no excuse to be angry, so he could only take a deep breath, forcibly suppress the anger in his heart, and then looked at Guo Zixuan, Marquis of Pingnan, and said: "Zixuan, you are the queen's brother and my relative, This matter involves the royal family, how do you think I should deal with this matter? ”

When Guo Zixuan, Marquis of Pingnan, heard this, he hurriedly bowed down and said: "The minister is not above the court, but since His Majesty said that the minister is a relative, ask for the minister's opinion, and the minister will say a word, everything can be done in accordance with my Ming law, how to deal with it, and ask Your Majesty to make his own holy judgment!" The minister's words are finished! After saying that, Guo Zixuan stood aside and stopped talking.

This Zhu Changluo named Guo Zixuan, in fact, he couldn't bear the pressure, and looked for foreign aid to help, hoping that Guo Zixuan could say something different from the two, but unfortunately Zhu Changluo didn't think at all that how much he could pull hatred as the fifth prince, besides, in this palace fire case, Zhu Changluo had already offended the Guo family by putting the queen under house arrest, how could the people of the Guo family speak according to his will at this moment?

This matter can only be blamed on Zhu Changluo when he chose people, he only thought about choosing the influential Guo family, and did not take into account the relationship between him and the Guo family at the moment.

The three of them let their father execute themselves, Zhu Hao, who was hiding behind the screen, was already indifferent, no longer angry, but calm, for Guo Zixuan's words just now, Zhu Hao only had one sentence in his heart, that is: "This guy should be the brother or younger brother of the old demon woman, and it is really the same as the old demon woman, this real TNND surnamed Guo does not have a good person!" ”

Just this sentence: "There is no good person surnamed Guo!" Zhu Hao will be on his lips for a long time in the future, until one day after Zhu Hao will stop talking about it, of course, this is a later story.

Zhu Changluo obviously didn't expect that this Guo Zixuan would be so ignorant of current affairs, and when he said such a thing, he snorted coldly and shouted angrily: "Do you mean to let me order my son to be executed?" Do you really want me to do that? ”

The three people who had already expressed their opinions obviously didn't expect Zhu Changluo to suddenly get angry, and their faces were a little pale with trembling, but for Zhu Changluo's threatening words, the three of them didn't say anything to change their opinions, they just stood there quietly, as if they were all "defenders".

Seeing this, the first assistant of the cabinet hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty is angry, in the opinion of the minister, the five princes cannot be blamed for this matter, the cause of this matter, after all, Cui Shangshu disobeyed the order in the front, and the five princes were shot in the back according to the law, in the opinion of the minister, the five princes should be meritorious, even if the minister was present at the time, the minister would deal with it like this!" Moreover, according to the law of this dynasty, after the relatives and nobles break the law, they can still pay the finances, or reduce the title, so as to avoid the crime, not to mention that the five princes are the blood of His Majesty's relatives, His Majesty has sent the five princes to the edict of Jinyiwei at the first time of the incident, which can be regarded as an explanation to Cui Shangshu, this matter according to the minister's opinion, no matter what, the five princes can no longer be punished! ”

After Fang Congzhe's words were finished, Zhu Changluo, who was still angry just now, sat down slowly, his face returned to normal, and then nodded slowly and said: "Fang Shoufu's words are polite and courteous, affectionate and righteous, which is not only in line with the norm, but also takes into account ethics, and is very in line with my heart, I will do it according to Fang Shoufu's words, no longer punish the inspection, and at the same time order someone to bury Cui Shangshu with a national funeral ceremony!" ”

After Zhu Changluo's words were finished, Guo Zixuan just glanced at Fang Congzhe deeply and didn't say anything more, but his eyes were full of doubt, obviously he didn't know why Fang Congzhe said this.

This is not only Guo Zixuan, but also Zhu Hao behind the screen, Zhu Hao knows deeply that this Fang Congzhe, who seems to be a good person, is actually the hardcore loyal minister of the old demon woman of Concubine Zheng, and is completely the mouthpiece of Concubine Zheng in the court, and everything she says is about things that represent the interests of Concubine Zheng.

Just when Zhu Hao behind the screen and Guo Zixuan in front of the hall were in doubt and puzzlement, the other two main figures of the Donglin Party, Zhao Nanxing and Zou Yuanbiao, couldn't stay any longer, they glanced at each other, and then bowed down in unison and said: "Your Majesty, you must not!" ”

Zhu Changluo, who was still happy just now, listened to the words of the two, his expression instantly became cold, and he glanced at the two of them, although the two knew that doing so was equivalent to being an enemy of the emperor, but for the sake of their reputation as a member of the Donglin Party, they had to do it at the moment.

After Zhu Changluo's cold eyes swept over, Zhao Nanxing took the lead in speaking: "Master Cui was originally a veteran of the Three Dynasties, thanks to Sheji, no more than the imperial court, and now the innocent was killed, if Your Majesty does not severely punish the murderer, it will chill the hearts of the world's scholars, and trap me in a place where there is no return!" ”

When Zhao Nanxing's words came this, Zhu Changluo snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and said, "Zhao Nanxing, you are really bold to talk to me like this!" ”

Zhao Nanxing was not afraid of Zhu Changluo's deterrence, but continued: "The minister knows that today's words will collide with Your Majesty, and it is not a pity for the minister to die, but even if the minister dies, he does not want to see my Ming Dynasty's foundation of more than 200 years ruined!" Please think again, Your Majesty! ”

As soon as Zhao Nanxing's words were finished, Zou Yuanbiao also spoke: "The minister and Lord Zhao have the same opinion, if Your Majesty ignores the emotions of the world's scholars and insists on going his own way, please ask Your Majesty to behead the two of us first, and the two of us are willing to die in the Ming Dynasty first, and I don't want to see the Ming Dynasty fall apart!" Please Your Majesty's permission!"

If Zhao Nanxing's words are aggressive, then Zou Yuanbiao's words are forced to die, these two people, as the leaders of the Donglin Party, have a lofty position in the world, and even the lawless Wei Zhongxian, when the two were alive, did not dare to attack the Donglin Party, but after the two died, they began to purge the Donglin Party.

Zhu Changluo naturally knew that these two people really couldn't be killed, but Zhu Changluo didn't plan to let the two of them go like this, Zhu Changluo snorted coldly and said: "The sage Confucius once said in the Analects, 'The gentleman is reserved but not fighting, and the group is not the party', what the sage said in the testament, the gentleman is not the party, let you forget it completely!" You still have the face to puff your tongue in front of me, it's really shameless, and you are a person who reads! I know that your Donglin Party has a great influence among the government and the opposition! I also know that you can influence the hearts of the world's scholars, I will not fall for you, I will not kill you! ”

Zhu Changluo's sentence "gentlemen are not parties" came out, even if they tore their faces with the Donglin Party and pierced the last layer of window paper, Zhao Nanxing and Zou Yuanbiao heard such words, and their faces instantly turned pale, but they remembered that when Emperor Taizu killed the "Hu Weiyong Party", he was still a person who made great contributions to the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and he was in a high position as the prime minister, and because of the party dispute, he was stripped of the skin and stuffed grass, and the two of them did not have the same merits as Hu Weiyong at the beginning. At this moment, Zhu Changluo broke the fact that they formed a party, how could they not be afraid. Fortunately, the two of them are not Hu Weiyong, and Zhu Changluo is not Zhu Yuanzhang, and they did not kill them, but the next words of Zhu Changluo made these two people feel that life is worse than death.

Zhu Changluo paused for a moment after saying that he would not kill Zou Yuanbiao and Zhao Nanxing, and then continued: "I heard that the merchants on Penghu Island have been very dishonest recently, and there have been illegal robberies from time to time. ”

Zhu Hao hid behind the screen, listening to his father's words and almost didn't laugh out loud, because Zhu Hao clearly remembered that it was clearly recorded in the history books that in August of the 32nd year of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty (1604), the Dutch general Wei Malang led two warships to attack Penghu, cut down wood for housing, and planned to occupy it for a long time. Shen Yourong, the chief soldier of the Ming Dynasty, led his troops to face the responsibility, and the Dutch side was resigned and withdrew from Penghu in November. The Penghu Islands changed hands several times between the Ming Dynasty and the Netherlands at this time, although it still belongs to the territory of the Ming Dynasty at this moment, but in May of the second year of the Apocalypse (1622), the Dutch fleet invaded Penghu again. Although they were still expelled by the Ming Fujian Navy Division later, as long as there is a war there, these two people will definitely die and live there! Zhu Hao couldn't help but secretly said: "Dad's murder with a knife is really wonderful!" ”

Both of them are cabinet ministers, so they can naturally see the military reports that come and go, and they know in their hearts that the Penghu Islands at this moment are the land of tigers and wolves, if the two of them don't know how to retreat, I'm afraid they will really be sent to this land of tigers and wolves, but now these words have been spoken, and if they want to go back on their promises, they don't have any chance, just when the two of them looked at each other with a look of despair, they looked at Guo Zixuan, the Marquis of Pingnan, who was still united with them just now, but Guo Zixuan was like an old monk at the moment, completely treating the two of them as air, and directly ignored them.

Seeing this, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and sighed secretly.
