Du Yihong is completely afraid of the ruthless king in front of him, it is not an exaggeration to describe it by unscrupulous means, and it can be regarded as ingenious, he thought that the biggest thing was just a severe torture, and then sentenced to death, such as Yang Lian and other loyal martyrs, but where did he Du Yihong think that His Majesty would make him the prince of Taishi, and also arrested his wives and concubines.

"Where is Aiqing's fault, Aiqing is not wrong, Aiqing is just doing his duty as a minister, just writing a book to admonish, I didn't say that Aiqing committed a crime, I just want to tell Aiqing Chen Qing a fact, that is, whether I am a lustful and desolate king", Zhu Youxiao smiled and said a few words, and then ordered Wang Chengen to invite his concubines Zhang Yan and Hui Concubine, and then said to Du Yihong: "I now have a latter person, a concubine, Du Aiqing, where did you come to the conclusion that I am lustful." ”

Du Yihong wanted to cry without tears, he just said this, in order to make the content of the song more shocking, sometimes it is inevitable to exaggerate, but he didn't expect His Majesty to compare with himself, he had to prove to himself how many concubines he had, and he said that Zhu Youxiao was lustful just because he heard other people's rumors, why did he do a detailed investigation, after all, the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate ate the bowl of rice with rumors.

Zhu Youxiao saw that he didn't speak, and he looked very aggrieved, so he simply asked in person: "I don't know the answer, okay, okay, I will teach you how to do it, I will ask you first, how many wives and concubines you have, if you don't know, count them now, these wives and concubines in front of you, if you dare to deny one, I will kill one!" ”

Du Yihong raised his head in horror when he heard Zhu Youxiao's words, glanced at Zhu Youxiao, and also glanced at his wives and concubines, that is to say, he had to admit that these women were his own women, otherwise he would watch these women who had a relationship with him die because of himself.

At the same time, his wives and concubines also looked at Du Yihong, they naturally wanted to live well, and some people had already begun to call softly: "Master!" ”

Du Yihong didn't speak immediately, he was thinking about it secretly, and he knew that His Majesty wanted to let himself admit that he had countless wives and concubines, and now His Majesty is just a concubine, but if he admits it, it means that his reputation will be completely ruined.

But now if he admits that these are his wives and concubines, then His Majesty will definitely publicize this matter, and make a big splash in the Daming Daily, and make himself a pervert, so that what he played will become a deception, and even will not only not be famous in history, but will be notorious.

After thinking about it, Du Yihong resolutely made up his mind, and said: "Weichen only has the wife of the chaff, the He family, and has never accepted a concubine's room, please Your Majesty to investigate!" ”

"Du Aiqing is worthy of being a good minister who is clean and self-conscious, and his wife is deeply affectionate, which really amazes me and the queen, since this is the case, I will let his wife He go", Zhu Youxiao said and ordered: "Pass the decree, send Du He back, and the rest of the women will be directly dragged down and put on death row, including the pair of sisters named Xiangxue Xianghe." ”

"Sir!" All the concubines looked at Du Yihong with tears in their eyes, they didn't expect that the old man who had always loved him like a baby would be so ruthless, and he denied it, and one of the eldest women who still had charm cried even more: "Master, the concubine is the aunt you are marrying, you said that because the concubine gave birth to a son for you, you want to support the concubine to be a flat wife, but now why don't you recognize the concubine!" ”

Du Yihong was also dripping blood in his heart, where did he not want to admit that they all said that he was a woman, otherwise he would not have pleaded directly with Zhu Youxiao at the beginning, but His Majesty was obviously unwilling to forgive himself so much.

Du Yihong understands that His Majesty wants to stink himself, and by the way, stink the entire civil official group, and let himself slap himself in the mouth, so for the sake of his own reputation, he does not dare to ask His Majesty to forgive him for his bullying behavior, and he does not dare to admit that dozens of women in him are his own people.

The crying woman in front of her was extremely staggering under the bed, and the lovely twin sisters were even more pale and narrow-skinned, but he could only watch His Majesty put them on death row today. Between a woman and Qingyu, he chose the latter.

Zhu Youxiao hated this Du Yihong very much in his heart, he didn't expect Du Yihong to be so ruthless, he did not hesitate to disobey himself for the sake of the so-called clean reputation, and now he does not hesitate to abandon his own woman, and even according to the news reported to Zhu Youxiao by Dongchang, there are already many women who have become mothers and have given birth to children for Du Yihong.

Du He didn't speak, she didn't expect her husband to make such a decision, she glanced at her husband calmly, and left the palace under the escort of the chamberlain.

And after that, Zhu Youxiao walked in front of Du Yihong in a good time: "Well, I didn't expect you Du Yihong to be so decisive, I have a copy of the latest special issue of the Beijing Express and Daming Daily, which is a long story about the disclosure of various life details of your Du Yushi, you see, not only is it corrupt and lustful, but it is also light to slander the king, but the fact that you connived at your relatives to annex the fields of the township and neighbors is enough for the people of Daming to remember, for this reason I have ordered Zhang Dai, the chief writer of Daming Daily, to "Du Papi" In order to disclose the faces of these squires and landlords today, we have set out to root the image of Du Papi in thousands of households in the form of scripts, poems, songs, and dramas, so that hundreds of millions of people in the Ming Dynasty know that there is a person named Du Yihong, nicknamed "Du Papi", who is a real heinous person who embezzles the people's fat and ointment! What do you think of this, rest assured, I will not kill a loyal minister like you, but I can't control what newspapers and periodicals such as Daming Daily and Beijing Express do. ”

After Du Yihong listened, he couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, he naturally understood why His Majesty did this, this is obviously to grasp his own sore spots, and to completely stink himself, who doesn't know, Daming Daily and Beijing Express are the big killers of His Majesty's control of public opinion, once His Majesty does this, he will really leave a stench for 10,000 years.

Du Yihong can't guess His Majesty's mind now, at first he used the life of his wife and concubine as *** to admit that he was a cheap minister who loved romance and lived a poor life, but now he directly used Daming Daily as a weapon to coerce himself, and when he saw that he didn't take the initiative to admit it, he thought about using public opinion to stink himself.

"Please give your majesty the death penalty to the minister, the minister will not dare to hide anything from your majesty, as long as your majesty is willing to spare the minister's name, the minister will tell the minister who the main envoy is", after Du Yihong said, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said: "No need, you can do it yourself after you go down, I am no longer interested in knowing who is behind you, I just want to tell you that this world is still my world, you have damaged my reputation, and the king is unjust, and I can also make you unsound forever!" ”

Zhu Youxiao ordered Du Yihong to be carried down, and at this time, Zhu Youxiao instructed Wang Chengen: "Among the women to be executed in Dumen, except for the young and homeless who are temporarily left in the harem, the rest of the children will be exiled to Yunnan, Guichuan and other places to reclaim wasteland, and those who have no children will be married to the widowers of various armies." ”

"Your Majesty is really a benevolent and virtuous king", Wang Chengen couldn't help but flatter when he saw this, and Zhu Youxiao sighed: "Alas, I am always so kind", and as he spoke, he sent a decree to let the people of the Hanlin Academy truthfully record their forgiveness of Du's wives and concubines, but they were not allowed to mention that all the adult males of Dumen's immediate family were executed.

When Du Yihong was still recovering from his wounds after the palace sentence in the prison of the palace, and the four cabinet scholars were still waiting for Zhu Youxiao's interrogation in the edict prison of Jinyiwei, the official newspapers in the capital had begun to exert their efforts, and the image of Du Papi began to be published in the newspapers and periodicals.

These compilers who served in the newspaper were literati like Du Yihong, and they also liked exaggerated techniques, except that the name Du Yihong did not change, and Du Yihong's official position was artistically processed by the imperial history of the Metropolitan Procuratorate into the county magistrate more familiar to the people.

At the same time, Du Papi also secretly supported his relatives to annex the land, and harmed his neighbors to a certain magistrate named Du Yihong, who wantonly looted and expropriated violently, and led to several stories of Dou E's injustice, but was finally discovered by His Majesty who was privately interviewed by Weifu and returned with a heavy sentence.

In this way, the image of Du Pao Pi quickly became popular all over the Ming Dynasty, and hundreds of people remembered the classic image of Du Papi, and began to turn their attention to the basic officials of the imperial court with the characteristics of Du Papi, and at the same time, the story of His Majesty's southern tour to crack down on several corrupt officials such as Du Papi was also circulated by major newspapers and periodicals.

Ordinary people don't care whether they are true or not, they just care whether these stories are exciting enough, whether the sense of substitution is strong or not, just like the online articles of later generations, whether they are cool enough, and by the way, they can also have a sense of inspiration. As a result, the image of His Majesty the Emperor who was willing to turn into a pawn of a peddler to visit the livelihood of the people in order to understand the suffering of the people was established.

In the past, the image of cracking down on corrupt officials and rescuing the suffering of the people was in the hands of civil officials, and now it is the first time to take His Majesty the Emperor as the protagonist, and in an instant, it has enhanced Zhu Youxiao's prestige and credibility as His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty.

Qian Qianyi, a cabinet scholar who was detained in the imperial prison, and others were also brought to Zhu Youxiao at this time.

The four of them are now also monks of the second zhang - confused, Qian Qianyi doesn't know if Du Yihong has poured dirty water on himself, and Li Mingrui is worried that if Du Yihong really says that Qian Qianyi is the mastermind behind the scenes, His Majesty will think that he instructed it, or whether Du Yihong will directly blame himself.

And Zhou Yanru is also unpredictable and unpredictable of His Majesty's mind today, and arrested all four of them at once, and locked them in the edict, so that he Zhou Yanru can't get any news, and now seeing that the four people are fine, he guesses that Du Yanhong probably didn't say anything, but he is also a little lost in his heart, because with his speculation, no matter who Du Yihong says is the mastermind, His Majesty will not simply believe Du Yihong, but to protect the people pointed out by Du Yihong.

But now Du Yihong didn't say anything, which means that the four cabinet scholars are still safe and sound, and he, Zhou Yanru, has no way to follow further.

These are all confessions of Du Yihong, and they all have detailed records about the treacherous people behind the scenes who tried to slander me to achieve ulterior motives! I originally wanted to bring these people to justice and deal with them severely, but I thought that since you are important ministers in the court and have always been stable, why did you hurt the harmony between the monarchs and ministers because of such things, so I decided to learn from Cao Cao and burn Du Yihong's crimes! ”

"However, there are two of them who have something to do with Du Yihong, I have to deal with Zhou Daodeng and Zhou Yanru, you two put down Wusha Zhishi by yourself", although Zhu Youxiao's words were an understatement, but for Zhou Yanru it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, according to his thoughts, the result should be to remove Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui, the two ministers, but why did it become to let himself and Zhou Daodeng Zhishi.

Zhou Daodeng was still expressionless, he knew that at this time, the more he said, the more trouble he would cause, so he chose to remain silent.

Zhu Youxiao caught the expressions of these four people, and found that Qian Qianyi and Li Mingrui were relieved, but Zhou Yanru flashed a look of disappointment, and Zhou Daodeng even smiled slightly, it seemed to be very calm!

Seeing this, Zhu Youxiao also guessed who was doing something, and after the four of them thanked him for leaving, he instructed Wang Chengen: "Spread the edict to the East Factory, send additional people to supervise Zhou Yanru, especially his notes and narratives, and find a way to break into his mansion." ”

Zhu Youxiao knew that some historical figures would definitely not be willing to sink like this, but sometimes he couldn't use it, because these people would only use their intrigues and tricks for the interests of their own small group.

An ordinary imperial history note made two cabinet elders in the entire cabinet be dismissed, which made many ministers with a little selfishness have to weigh the means and abilities of His Majesty today, and so far, no one dares to say anything about His Majesty's shortcomings in this day.

Just when Li Mingrui and Qian Qianyi were relieved, and secretly sighed that there were still ministers in the court who were not willing to be lonely, the royalists ushered in a huge good news, that is, the current Shengshang Hui Concubine gave birth to a prince, which is indeed unexpected news for Zhu Youxiao, but it is the beginning of a new era for the ministers.

The royalists began to have more confidence to follow the current high-profile work of His Majesty, because His Majesty has an heir, and there is a possibility that the political system will continue for a hundred years, at least there is no need to worry that His Majesty will let King Xin be the emperor, resulting in a situation where the bamboo basket is empty.

And the diehards who oppose His Majesty's new policy have to secretly rejoice that they did not openly oppose His Majesty, and even began to slowly move closer to Zhu Youxiao, after all, His Majesty now has an heir, which also shows that Daming does have hope for Zhongxing, and they also have a chance to turn around.
