During the incident, Dou Ding was dragged out of the noon gate, and then pressed to the ground by Liang Ze and another sergeant.

Dou Ding's face was unwilling, and he struggled desperately: "This official doesn't want to die!" Whining! Your Majesty, the minister is wrong, and the minister knows that he is wrong! ”

Click!

And Guo Rong didn't hesitate at all, after the long knife in his hand was raised, it suddenly cut through the void like a meteor, and accurately cut a blood mark on the fat neck of the top of the sinus, which was fat in two circles, and cut it off in an instant, only gurgling blood spurted out, rushing straight into the blue sky!

In the middle of the incident, the lower half of Dou Ding's body was still squirming on the ground, rubbing the ground outside the white noon gate out of blood-red, and his head was only opened and closed twice with his mouth, and there still seemed to be a look of surprise in Mu Ran's eyes.

……

And here in Fengtianmen, when Zhu Houzhao directly ordered the criminal department to be dragged out and hacked to death by Dou Ding, all the officials present were horrified.

Because since Hongzhi, it has been a full eighteen years since a civil official has been punished in the court! Even in the Chenghua years, it was just a cane reproach!

For a while, the civil officials present were still a little unaccustomed to this atmosphere.

Just like that day in front of Cining Palace, Emperor Zhu Houzhao suddenly ordered to kill Like Du to Sun Meiling in the matter.

However, none of the three cabinet elders said anything at this time.

Although Liu Jian, the first assistant to the cabinet, also hoped that Zhu Houzhao would re-examine it as Dou Ding said, he also knew that there was very little hope, because His Majesty the new emperor was now in control of the inner court, and naturally wanted to regain his authority in the outer court.

Li Dongyang, the second assistant of the cabinet, narrowed his eyes even more, as if he was about to fall asleep, but in fact, he has now begun to pay attention to Zhu Houzhao again, hoping to find out Zhu Houzhao's true character.

Xie Qian, the third assistant of the cabinet, wanted to help his students, but he noticed Zhu Houzhao's eyes, and he also knew that Zhu Houzhao was going to stand up now, so he also coaxed and lowered his head.

Ma Wensheng, the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Xu Jin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, and Jiao Fang, the left servant of the Ministry of Officials, guessed that there would be no bloody storm in the court today, after all, His Majesty the Emperor had already controlled the inner court, and as a young emperor, there was no way to make these foreign officials jealous of the monarchy if he didn't take a few foreign officials.

But it is clear that Zhu Houzhao's behavior has indeed threatened the civilian clique and made them feel very uncomfortable.

Therefore, many civil officials are very resistant and even angry at Zhu Houzhao's behavior.

When Dou Ding was just dragged out of the noon gate by Zhu Houzhao's order and cut down by Zhu Houzhao, He Tianqu, the imperial historian who was not afraid of death, stood up again and played directly: "Your Majesty! Dou Ding is a speech official! If the official is convicted of his words, he may block the way of speech! Please spare his life and reward his loyalty! ”

"So, you don't think he's guilty, but I'm guilty?"

Zhu Houzhao asked, he was very familiar with this He Tianqu, and knew that he was the imperial history who advised him to return to the palace that day.

"Wechen doesn't dare to say that the monarch's father is wrong, but the monarch's father has, and Wechen, as the imperial historian, should naturally admonish him, His Majesty's move is undoubtedly with the tyrant!"

He Tianqu smiled coldly as he spoke, as if he had a very backbone, in his opinion, the Yanguan could not be killed, otherwise they, the civil officials, would not be able to accuse the emperor and high-ranking officials, and they would not be able to safeguard their own interests, so he would have nothing to fear.

At the same time, He Tianqu also naively thought that if he came out to give a few words of advice, he could also make the young emperor Zhu Houzhao change his mind.

Obviously, He Tianqu misunderstood Zhu Houzhao's intentions, and perhaps a large part of the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty still don't know what Zhu Houzhao was thinking.

Therefore, what He Tianqu didn't expect was that Zhu Houzhao ignored him and only sat back on the dragon chair after he spoke.

And at this time, Guo Rong had already returned to Fengtianmen: "Your Majesty, the criminal Dou Ding has been ambushed!" ”

The civil and military officials present were all surprised when they heard this, and they were also afraid of Zhu Houzhao in their hearts, thinking that now the emperor doesn't know whether he is young and fearless or doesn't care about his reputation, and he really dares to kill! I've already killed two officials in a row.

Yushi He Tianqu was also stunned, he didn't expect that Zhu Houzhao did not withdraw the resolution to kill the criminal department to Dou Ding because of his own advice, and at the same time, he was also a little scared, and his legs fell to the ground unconsciously.

And at this time, Zhu Houzhao also happened to raise his hand and pointed at He Tianqu: "Drag him down and cut him down!" Raid his home! ”

The scene was silent!

The three cabinet ministers and the six ministers and nine ministers looked at Zhu Houzhao in surprise, and at the same time retracted their heads in fear, they didn't expect that His Majesty the new emperor would kill without saying a word, and he had already killed two officials, and now he would kill another one.

Zhu Houzhao didn't plan to be polite to the civil officials today, because his purpose today was to establish his majesty, and he had to let these civil and military officials, especially the civil officials present, understand that the emperor is not just a bodhisattva, it doesn't mean that you can be blessed with grace and blessing if you ask for a few words of praise, the emperor is sometimes a butcher, don't forget the saying that the king is like a tiger.

Yushi He Tianqu heard that Zhu Houzhao asked Guo Rong to push himself out of the noon gate and behead him so frightened that he immediately got up and knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao on the spot:

"Your Majesty, spare your life! The minister has no other meaning, the minister just thinks that the official can't be killed casually, of course, if His Majesty really wants to kill, it can be, the king wants the minister to die, the minister has to die, the minister is just worried about hindering His Majesty's reputation in the future, the minister really has no other meaning, the minister is guilty, please forgive the minister! ”

Zhu Houzhao rolled his eyes helplessly, thinking that the EQ of this imperial history is really low, and he still doesn't understand why he killed him, don't you know that he killed him because his views are not consistent with his own, don't you know that at this time, it is a crime to say that His Majesty the Emperor's ministers had a wrong understanding at the beginning, and Dou Ding deserves it?

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand: "Drag it down!" ”

Yushi He Tianqu didn't expect that he would mess up, of course, he didn't expect Zhu Houzhao to be so ruthless, but now he only knew that he might die, so He Tianqu hurriedly took advantage of Guo Rong and other sergeants to climb directly to Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet:

"Teacher, save the students! Save the students! ”

Zhu Houzhao also looked at Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, at this time, and he actually wanted to see how Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, behaved when he saw this scene.

Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, was in a very bad mood at this time, but he also knew that the emperor Zhu Houzhao had already controlled the inner court, and it also showed that the army was also controlled by the emperor.

Therefore, Liu Jian knew that Zhu Houzhao wished that he was disobedient at this time and used the excuse to dispose of himself, and even Liu Jian felt that Zhu Houzhao deliberately killed two officials in a row today in order to force himself to comply.

Therefore, Liu Jian, the first assistant of the cabinet, just remained silent when he saw his student He Tianqu asking for help.
