Pei Lun's hand reversed black and white, which directly angered the ministers, and the few officials who were lucky enough to escape came out and knelt in front at this time, crying bitterly at Lao Zhu:

"Your Majesty, the ministers have no thoughts that are unfavorable to Your Majesty."

"These two people killed directly in front of you, and now they are still reversing black and white, and I hope that Your Majesty will make decisions for us!!"

These people cried with tears, they originally rushed out with the current, and they didn't have any opinions, otherwise they wouldn't have fallen behind.

The indiscriminate killing of Pei Lun and Ding Xiu just now really scared their liver and gallbladder, and when they came back to their senses at this time, they thought that they almost died just now, and their legs were a little weak.

"Now you want to find us? Why didn't you remember that we were still here when you did it to Jinyiwei just now? ”

Lao Zhu didn't care about Pei Lun's cleverness, he slowly walked down the steps, and said to the crying people: "You want to get rid of the evil spirits, and you want to kill people directly in front of us, we give you a chance, but you yourself are useless." ”

"Why, I can't fight now, I was killed by someone and remembered us, what did I do earlier."

Lao Zhu walked in front of Pei Lun, directly reached out and picked up the embroidered spring knife that Pei Lun threw on the ground, which had been soaked in blood, looked at it carefully, and then took the knife and slowly moved forward.

"As an official of the imperial court, you actually want to kill people in front of us, do you still have our emperor in your eyes?"

"What is evil spirit? Do you say who is who? ”

When he said the last sentence, Lao Zhu was already faintly roaring.

The few people who were originally frightened by Pei Lun couldn't even speak at this time, but just kowtowed in place, wanting to ask for Lao Zhu's forgiveness.

Wu Fu on the side couldn't bear it, so he wanted to ask for a few words of affection for them, "Your Majesty, they ......"

Wu Fu didn't finish speaking, Lao Zhu, who had already walked in front of those people, directly made a brazen move.

A few knives flashed, and the heads of the people kneeling on the ground rolled to the ground almost instantly.

"No father, no king, no courage and no scheming, what's the use of raising you in the Ming Dynasty!"

Looking at Lao Zhu who made the move himself, feeling the blood splashing on his face, the nearest cabinet ministers, everyone was a little stupid.

After a while, the ministers who came back to their senses did not hesitate at all, and knelt down in an instant.

"Your Majesty is angry, and the ministers are waiting for death!"

These ministers didn't understand why Lao Zhu was so angry, and they didn't know why he directly killed the officials, but looking at the murderous Lao Zhu, even if he was an official who usually dared to do something against the emperor, he didn't even dare to let out a fart at this time.

The emperor personally killed the minister, which has not happened a few times in the entire history of the Ming Dynasty, Lao Zhu did this, no matter what it is, he will definitely not be able to escape the name of the tyrant.

And in the face of a tyrant, especially one who is still bleeding in his hands, no one dares to come out and raise any objections.

After all, speaking out and daring to admonish does not mean that you are looking for death, and admonishment is also about timing.

"Ten thousand deaths, you are indeed sins that deserve ten thousand deaths!"

Lao Zhu, who had killed a few people, did not have the slightest relief in his heart.

Ever since he came to this era, he has seen the empire he built single-handedly fall into this situation, and there has always been a nameless fire burning in his heart.

During the Hongwu period when he established his regime, officials who were greedy for sixty taels could be sentenced to death, but now, sixty taels is not enough for these corrupt officials to eat a meal!

Although he has to take into account the overall situation and cannot directly overthrow these corrupt groups that only know about corruption and bribery, and looting the people's fat and cream, this does not mean that he cannot kill people.

As long as he doesn't change the law and doesn't directly dig up the roots of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials, even if he kills dozens of officials who are dragging his feet, who dares to say a word because of this?

Lao Zhu, who was still angry, directly pointed a knife at Shoufu Zhou Yanru, and said coldly: "You come with us, we have something to ask you." ”

After saying this, Lao Zhu didn't explain much, let alone let these kneeling officials get up, so he turned around and left.

After Lao Zhu left, Zhou Yanru's legs were a little weak.

When Lao Zhu pointed at him with a knife just now, he thought that Lao Zhu was going to slash him with a knife, and he almost didn't scare him to death.

Zhou Yanru, who was kneeling in place, slowed down for a while before he reluctantly stood up, and slowly walked in the direction of Qianqing Palace under the worried eyes of the ministers.

And the ministers who were left behind knelt on the ground and looked at the corpses all over the ground under Cao Huachun's gaze, and they didn't even dare to get up and hide from the blood-soaked official robes.

……

In the Qianqing Palace, Lao Zhu looked at Zhou Yanru who came in, picked up a piece of folding on the table, and smashed it directly at him.

"Let's let you be the first assistant, that's how you be?"

Zhou Yanru didn't know what Lao Zhu said, looking at the folds that fell to the ground, he quickly picked it up and looked at it quickly.

As a result, just a few glances, his face changed suddenly.

Because of the impeachment of Jin Yiwei for embezzlement and bribery, forming a party for personal gain, the impeachment on this is extremely detailed, and even Dong Tingxian, a staff member who works for him, has been written, which obviously shows that he knows him very well.

But this matter, he obviously can't admit it no matter what, he personally brought down Chongzhen of the eunuch party, what he hates the most is to form a party for personal gain, if he endures these things, then "Chongzhen" will not kill him on the spot.

Therefore, he knelt directly on the ground and opened his mouth to defend: "Your Majesty, the old minister has been wronged." ”

"The old minister is dedicated to the public, and he has never embezzled half a point, let alone formed a party for personal gain, and the impeachment above is purely rumor-mongering and slander."

"I still hope that Your Majesty will be aware and return the old minister's innocence."

"Rumors and slander?"

Lao Zhu looked at the hard-mouthed Zhou Yanru and said, "Jin Yiwei has investigated the matter to this point, and you dare to say that someone is slandering you." ”

"Okay, since we leave you a way to live, you don't go, then don't worry about our ruthlessness."

Speaking of this, Lao Zhu directly opened his mouth and said outside: "Wang Chengen, it is rumored that the brocade guards took Dong Ting and sent him to the edict to be tortured. ”

"Let's see if it's the hard bones of Zhou Ge Lao's staff, or the strong punishment of Jinyiwei."

Lao Zhu looked at Zhou Yanru and said coldly: "Didn't Zhou Ge want to be innocent? How about we give you back your innocence? ”

"I just don't know, Zhou Ge Lao is really as innocent as you say."

Hearing Lao Zhu's unsympathetic words, Zhou Yanru's face instantly turned extremely pale, Dong Tingxian knew all his things, if he was caught in the edict, how could he definitely not be able to keep his secret in Jinyiwei's punishment.

So Zhou Yanru stood in place for a long time, and finally knelt directly on the ground, kowtowed and pleaded:

"I hope Your Majesty will forgive your sins, your ...... Guilty. ”
