On behalf of the king, King Xiang lowered his head and did not speak, obviously acquiescing.

Zhu Cihong gritted his teeth, his eyes were red, and said, "You conspired to assassinate me, involving so many people, is it true?" ”

King Lu lowered his head, hesitated, and said, "It's true." ”

Zhu Cihong was still incredulous, and directly threw the confession into it, and said angrily: "Pick it up for me to see!" ”

King Lu and the three of them trembled and hurriedly picked them up.

Li Zhong looked a little frightened, and quietly glanced at Li Hengbing, Chen Zhao and others.

Chen Zhaozhong was still a little worried, but now he is much calmer.

And Li Hengbing was calm as usual from beginning to end.

Kou Huaiyi and Ma Shiying glanced at each other and did not speak. What the Criminal Department said about this made them frightened.

King Lu and the others hurriedly glanced at it, knelt on the ground again, and said, "It's the confession of the criminal minister." ”

Zhu Cihong's face was pale, his eyes were red, and his fists were clenched tightly.

He didn't believe it at first, he felt that something was wrong, someone had framed him, but now that he was confronted, these people actually admitted it!

There was no torture to extract a confession, there was no torture into confessions, it was all true, these people wanted to kill him!

Zhu Cihong was speechless angrily, and most of the people behind him secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If King Lu and others retract their confessions, it will be to roast Zhou Zheng on the fire, and the monarchs and ministers will fight each other, and the consequences will be unpredictable.

Li Zhong was also in this mood, glanced at the others, stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, go back to the palace." ”

Zhu Cihong was unwilling, he hated these so-called clans, his blood-related clans, and at the same time he was unspeakably unwilling, and he didn't want to stop there.

Li Hengbing and the others didn't speak, and almost everyone present knew what was going on, and they were simply lying to the little emperor alone.

Of course, the little emperor should also be skeptical.

King Lu and the others knelt on the ground and did not say much to shout injustice.

They knew very well in their hearts that even if the little emperor did not pursue them, the courtiers would not let them go. No one can suppress such a big thing as the assassination of the Jinluan Palace.

In addition to the shouts of injustice from other cells, the cells of the three kings were very quiet, and the smell of wine overflowed, and the scene was a little embarrassing.

At this time, Zhou Yanru finally rushed over, and everyone saluted sideways.

Zhou Yanru didn't know the situation yet, but when he got closer, he looked solemn, raised his hand and said, "Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Cihong still had a tense face, staring at the juniors of the three kings, gritting his teeth for a while, and turned around violently to leave.

Li Hengbing turned sideways and said, "Your Majesty, what should you do with the other people in the confession?" ”

Zhu Cihong paused, and then remembered that the three kings had also confessed dozens of 'accomplices', most of whom were also clan vassal kings!

Without the emperor's will, the outer court could not take the vassal king.

Zhu Cihong was so angry about this matter that he couldn't think too much about it, and at the same time, he didn't want too much of the clan to be involved, so he didn't say anything and strode away.

Li Hengbing bowed, just asked, and did not continue to chase.

A large group of people immediately followed Zhu Cihong and swarmed towards the outside of the prison.

Zhou Yanru frowned, stopped in front of Li Hengbing, and said indifferently: "Confirmed?" ”

Li Hengbing's face was expressionless, and he said, "It's verified." ”

Zhou Yanru's old face moved, he glanced at him deeply, and quickly chased after Zhu Cihong.

Zhu Cihong didn't stop at all, and when he got out of the punishment department, he sat on the dragon and went straight back to the palace.

A group of people stood in front of the gate of the criminal department, sending them off.

Zhou Yanru watched Zhu Cihong leave, and looked back at the person in charge of the Three Law Divisions: Kou Huaiyi, the secretary of the Dali Temple, Li Hengbing, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and the Imperial Shi Ma Shiying.

Although the three of them looked down on this Yuanfu in their hearts, they did not lose their courtesy, and bowed their heads.

Zhou Yanru had thoughts surging in his heart, suppressing his anger.

Zhou Zheng asked for the Three Law Divisions at the beginning, and then secretly controlled Jinyiwei, and took these violent institutions in his hands, and he had been planning this day for a long time! It's ridiculous that he thought that he had forced Zhou Zheng to retreat, and he got the household department and the official department, and he was proud!

Zhou Yanru's old face was pale, knowing that whether it was Zhu Cihong tearing his face or Zhou Zhengyun doing this matter, it would be a disastrous consequence for the court situation, he forcibly suppressed his anger and said lightly: "What are you going to do next?" ”

Ma Shiying said: "Back to Yuanfu, the Metropolitan Procuratorate is inspecting itself, and then it will be ordered to supervise the imperial court." ”

Kou Huaiyi said: "Dali Temple is also self-examining, and then it will accept many cases and concentrate on trial." ”

Li Hengbing was silent for a moment and said: "Your Majesty has no will, and the Criminal Department can't take people, so you can only continue the interrogation and wait for Your Majesty's will." ”

This time, the clan, the noble ministers, the ministers from all walks of life, and the criminal department did not have much to take, and they had to be ordered by Zhu Cihong and ordered by His Excellency.

Zhou Yanru listened, immediately wrinkled his eyebrows, and said coldly: "What are you going to do?" ”

In Zhou Yanru's mind, Zhou Zheng is nothing more than to seize power, why do you need to continue to persecute the emperor like this, the two sides are ugly.

Li Hengbing's face was expressionless, and he said, "Yuanfu's words are not understood. The lower officials and others do things according to the rules, I don't know what's wrong? ”

The corners of Zhou Yanru's face twitched, and he said coldly: "Tell Zhou Zhengyun to do it yourself, don't want everyone in the world to be so easy to bully!" ”

After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and left.

He followed Fan Wenjing, who seemed to come one after the other, and when he left, he still walked one after the other.

Two people.

Ma Shiying, Kou Huaiyi and the others glanced at each other, they all smiled and said nothing, arched their hands, and turned to leave.

Zhu Cihong returned to the palace, immediately smashed the dishes and bowls, and cursed loudly.

Li Zhong stood outside, watching Zhu Cihong's movements, as if he had seen the first emperor Chongzhen, and his expression was full of worry.

The original Emperor Chongzhen has gradually lost control of the court situation, but he can still control it, and now the new emperor is too young, and the situation has changed greatly, if he has the same personality as the first emperor, he may break into a big disaster!

Zhou Zheng really didn't take care of the affairs of the Criminal Department, and took people to the Household Department.

Chen Yan's willingness to resign is now more obvious, perhaps because he is afraid of the turmoil at this time, and he can no longer claim to be sick at this time.

Gao Hongtu accompanied Zhou Zheng and walked around the household.

The rest of the household department was hiding and did not dare to show their faces.

Gao Hongtu was beside Zhou Zheng and introduced: "My lord, the summer grain is currently being harvested, but it is expected to be reduced by half, I am afraid that it will be less than two million, plus the destruction of the thieves, it is really stretched." ”

Zhou Zheng came to the place where the original mint was located, but now it was empty and in a mess.

Gao Hongtu glanced at it and said, "My lord, this mint bureau has long existed in name only, and it is basically useless except for minting some large ingots of official silver." ”

Zhou Zheng glanced at him and said, "I plan to hand over the mint to the Zhou ticket number, and the Zhou ticket number will mint new currency and rectify the chaotic transactions." ”

Gao Hongtu was stunned, and some couldn't react, and said: "My lord, do you mean that the new currency is minted by the Zhou ticket number?" ”

Gao Hongtu has two key points here: 'Zhou's ticket number', 'new currency'.
