Looking at Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the dragon chair and saying these words with a smile, Sun Chengzong and the three of them gasped, and those officials who were still loyal and unyielding just now were like mourners.

Nine and a half out of ten of these officials did not know exactly where Nanyang was, but they were sure that Nanyang was even farther away than Qiongzhou, which had always been regarded as a wild place by officials, where it was not only full of miasma and rampant poisonous snakes and beasts, but also the man-eating creatures, in the eyes of the officials, the horror of this kind of place was comparable to the eighteenth layer of hell.

After hearing Zhu Youxiao's words, these officials all looked like earth, and they could almost be described as scattered, only to see that they all became earth-colored, and even more many of them collapsed to the ground and cried, as if they were an apocalyptic scene.

"It's over, this life is over." This is the thought that wells up in the hearts of almost everyone.

The surrounding officials also felt a sense of concern when they saw the tragic situation of these people.

For the officials, although it was uncomfortable to be taken off by the emperor Lao Tzu and driven back to his hometown, it was not unacceptable. Even if they are not worthy of this official, they still have the status of Jinshi, and when they return to their hometown, they can still call friends, drink and have fun all day long, and their small lives are still flying.

But once they were sent to Nanyang, it was different, it was a poor and white place, and there was nothing at all except those natives and cannibals who could not take a bath once a year, and if they lived there, they would be forced to die in less than a month.

Seeing this, Zhu Guozhen, who was a little unbearable in his heart, couldn't help but stand up and arch his hand to Zhu Youxiao: "Your Majesty, although these people have rudely collided with Your Majesty, please read that these people are also loyal to Daming, and go around them this time." ”

The other ministers in the Wenhua Palace originally didn't dare to plead, but when they saw that Zhu Guozhen, the elder, had taken the lead, they also bowed down one after another: "Yes, Your Majesty, please ask Your Majesty to be extrajudicial and give them a favor." ”

Seeing this, Sun Chengzong on the side secretly said in his heart that it was not good, these people still know too little about His Majesty, if no one pleads, there may be some hope, but they are so begging, these people will never be able to return to Daming in this life.

Sure enough, seeing all the ministers kneeling on the ground, Zhu Youxiao's face slowly turned cold, and he slowly stood up: "Spread my will, these people must leave Beijing and rush to Nanyang within three days, if there is any disobedience, the whole family will go together, and everyone will not be allowed to return to Daming for thirty years." ”

"Gollum ......"

A twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young official was estimated to be too young to withstand this kind of pressure, and fainted to the ground, but the people around him hurriedly came over and pinched the person and massaged, which woke up this guy, and after this guy woke up, his eyes were straight and he looked lifeless.

Seeing the appearance of these people, Zhu Youxiao said coldly to Zhu Guozhen: "Zhu Aiqing, now that Nanyang has been occupied by the Jiangning Army, it will soon become the territory of my Ming Dynasty." And the people of Nanyang are about to become the people of my Ming Dynasty, although these people have no words, but I did not dismiss their officials, but continue to send them to Nanyang to educate my Ming people, why did it become a punishment in the mouth of Aiqing?

If you go to Nanyang to be an official, it is a punishment, where do you put those Jiangning Army officers and soldiers who threw their heads and spilled blood for the Ming Dynasty and fought on the battlefield? If this is the case, then please put on your armor and sword to expand the territory for the Ming Dynasty, and then let the soldiers of the Jiangning Army disarm and return to the field, and then let them go to those places to be officials after you have defeated the overseas territories, okay? ”

Zhu Guozhen, as a veteran of the Three Dynasties, has been very respectful to him since he entered the cabinet, and he has never said anything serious, but he didn't expect to be reprimanded by Zhu Youxiao today, which can't help but make him feel that his old face is extremely uncomfortable.

Zhu Youxiao's words were clearly telling him not to be satisfied. Let you go to Nanyang to be an official, you all feel so uncomfortable, what about those Ming soldiers who fought Nanyang for the birth and death of the Ming Dynasty, what are they?

Sun Chengzong looked at Zhu Youxiao, who was talking on the dragon chair, and looked decisive, in a trance, as if he saw the shadows of the founding Emperor Hongwu and the Yongle Emperor.

"Is Daming going back to the way it was at the beginning of the founding of the country?"

Thinking of this, Sun Chengzong's heart couldn't help but be shocked, and a feeling of joy and worry came to his heart.

Think about the old Comrade Zhu at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China and Comrade Zhu Di later, how decisive they were when these two people were in power, basically there were no ministers in the court who dared to blow up the thorns, and whoever dared to blow up the thorns would clean you up.

Let's just talk about Comrade Zhu, if you say that killing your whole family is killing your whole family, and it is not dozens or hundreds of killings, once you anger him, you will never stop if you don't kill him and bleed like a river. In the case of Hu Weiyong alone, Hu Weiyong's family was sentenced to nine clans, not to mention the nine clans, and more than 30,000 people were implicated.

The same is true of the Lantian case, Comrade Lao Zhu killed thousands of people, which also led to a joke, when the officials in the capital were worried that they would not be able to come back before the court, and many people wrote their wills in advance.

It was precisely because the officials were afraid of being killed, so the officials of the Ming Dynasty later learned to be smart. Because they also shoulder the responsibility of teaching the prince, almost every official who teaches the prince will take the trouble to instill to them the ideas of benevolence and repaying grievances with virtue, which also leads to the successors of the Ming Dynasty have been taught to change their taste, and there are no more heroes like Zhu Yuanzhang or Zhu Di.

But even so, the officials of the Ming Dynasty were still not at ease, they also tried every means to reduce the emperor's power, did everything possible to suppress the military general group, and they also preached the theory that a good man should not be a soldier and a good iron would not be nailed, which led to the extremely low social status of the soldiers.

What's more, these people even dared to attack the emperor.

If it weren't for this, the Ming Dynasty would not have had such a ridiculous thing as two emperors with "bad reputations" falling into the water and dying in a row, which shows how bold the civil officials were in the Ming Dynasty.

Sun Chengzong is a smart person, although he is the emperor, Zhu Youxiao also respects him, but he never abuses this influence, just like what happened today, although he knows that many people want him, the first assistant, to intercede, but he has never spoken, because he knows that those officials have touched Zhu Youxiao's backlash, and if he speaks, things may get worse.

At this time, Zhu Youxiao spoke: "Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't want to hold this court today. But I'm here anyway, do you know why? Because I want to see how many people in our court do things with their hearts, but the result makes me very disappointed, so I have decided that from today onwards, if there are officials who violate the law and discipline, they will be sent to Taiwan, Nanyang and other places as officials, and let them serve the Ming Dynasty there! ”
