Although Zhou Yanru felt that Lao Zhu's decision-making was very problematic, he didn't dare to say anything, because Lao Zhu was informing him, not discussing with him, and he had no room to refuse at all.

"I understand."

Zhou Yanru silently agreed, at this time he finally realized how difficult it was to be an official in the Hongwu period, this one said yes, after he made a decision, he didn't hold the belief that he would die, who would dare to go up and advise.

Anyway, Zhou Yanru asked himself if he didn't have the courage, especially since the blood that Lao Zhu splashed on his body when he killed just now hadn't dried up, so he didn't dare to do it.

Seeing that Lao Zhu had no other instructions, Zhou Yanru, who felt that he had escaped by luck, retreated tremblingly, and then left the Qianqing Palace directly.

Da Ming's sky has changed, and he has to think carefully about how he should be this first assistant in the future.

There are also a few things that Lao Zhu told him before, if nothing else, he will definitely be able to make him a wave of fame among the people, but there will be gains and losses, after gaining a good name, he will definitely offend a large number of people, and they are all powerful and powerful.

In addition, his top priority is to go back and calculate how much family property he will donate tomorrow.

Since Lao Zhu has spoken, if he dares to be stingy, it will undoubtedly be a dead end, so the money must be donated.

It's just that thinking of the family business he worked so hard to get and now he has to donate it, Zhou Yanru can't help but feel a little heartache in his heart, so he wants to go back and calculate it to see what property can be preserved that others can't find.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yanru sighed deeply, from now on, I'm afraid that I, the first assistant, will completely become the emperor's puppet.

said that he should let him do things with his heart, but no matter what he does in the future, it must be something that the emperor nods and agrees to, especially when he has a handle in the emperor's hands, the emperor does not nod, he can't do anything, if he dares to do it forcibly, I'm afraid he may not even be able to keep his head.

This is the sadness of a strong emperor on the Shoufu stall, either die or obey, he has no choice.

When Zhou Yanru walked out with staggering steps, all the officials immediately looked up with some connections, and when they saw that Zhou Yanru was safe and sound, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Regardless of whether these officials were hostile to Zhou Yanru or not, at least in this case, they didn't want to see Zhou Yanru, the first assistant, unlucky.

And Wang Chengen, who was following Zhou Yanru, walked a few steps quickly, came to the front of the ministers, and said: "Today's matter, this is the end, I hope that you can abide by your duties as courtiers in the future, and think about what you can do and what you can't do." ”

"Long live Lord said that he was tired, so he wouldn't come to see your lords, please go back."

Hearing Wang Chengen say this, the ministers who had been holding their hearts back finally put their hearts back.

Although I don't know why the emperor is suddenly so irritable today, it is obviously not a good time to discuss it now, even if you want to persuade without your life, you have to wait until you find out what happened, and then talk about it in the court tomorrow.

The ministers who had been kneeling for a while supported each other and stood up, and among them, Wu Fu and several cabinet ministers ignored Zhou Yanru's somewhat lonely expression, and walked a few steps quickly and came to him.

"Elder Zhou Ge, what did Your Majesty tell you?"

Wu Fu was a little impatient in his heart, and couldn't help but ask directly: "Why did Your Majesty suddenly make such a move today, did something happen?" ”

"Also, Jinyi Wei killed officials without permission, didn't Your Majesty say anything? Has Your Majesty been deceived by someone? ”

The change in "Chongzhen" is too big, so big that Wu Xian immediately felt that something happened that he didn't know, and the emperor was also bewitched by someone, otherwise he would not let Jinyi Wei kill the officials, it was really to the point of doing it himself.

"Don't worry, nothing happened, and Your Majesty was not bewitched."

When Zhou Yanru said this, he showed a self-deprecating smile, the emperor has become the one, who can bewitch him.

"As for Dongchang and Jinyiwei, I just talked to Your Majesty, Your Majesty intends to completely abolish the tax superintendent, if you have the heart, you can jointly fold it with the old man tomorrow, Your Majesty should promise."

"As for the other ......"

Zhou Yanru shook his head, and then said: "Don't ask, the old man has nothing to say, you can do it yourself in the future." ”

After saying this, Zhou Yanru didn't care about a few people's questions, and left directly.

After they all left, Wang Chengen picked up the knife on the ground and handed it to Ding Xiu and Pei Lun with his own hands.

"As a Jinyi Guard, you don't have to be responsible for anyone except Banzai."

Wang Chengen looked at the two who were a little at a loss, and said: "Long live the Lord said, with him, it is not enough to let the people who do things come out to take responsibility, you can go back with confidence." ”

Hearing Wang Chengen say this, Ding Xiu was a little dazed in his heart.

When arresting people, he directly beheaded those officials, although he did it with an almost mortal mentality, but at that time, he felt that if the emperor had the courage to take over the matter, then he could still live.

But when he followed Pei Lun here today, he killed dozens of officials in the palace at once, and almost killed more than one-fifth of the people who were qualified to go to the court, he felt that even if he said that he would break the sky, he and Pei Lun would have to die here today.

As a result, now Wang Chengen actually told them that they were okay and let them go back? Ding Xiu almost thought he was living in a dream.

And although Pei Lun had already vaguely guessed something in his heart, after hearing this at this moment, a burst of ecstasy still rose in his heart uncontrollably.

He hurriedly pulled Ding Xiu to kneel down in the direction of the Qianqing Palace and thanked him, "Wait, thank you, Your Majesty." ”

After they thanked him, Wang Chengen looked at Ding Xiu, and didn't forget to tell him again, "Act in the future, try not to be so reckless, this time you are lucky, Long Live Lord is willing to protect you, but if you are still so messy next time, I am afraid that there may not be anyone to protect you again." ”

"Xia Guan understands."

Ding Xiu knew that what Wang Chengen said was that he directly killed Wang Cong and others, so he nodded decisively, indicating that he had listened.

However, when they retired and left, Wang Chengen could hear Ding Xiu's excited voice faintly coming from far away.

"I'll have to give this knife when I get back."

"Why? It killed the blood of dozens of court ministers today, where can you find a knife with this experience, if you don't offer it, is it worthy of those ministers who were killed by it? ”

“……”

Watching the two of them leave, Wang Chengen couldn't help but smile and shook his head, but when he turned his head to look at Cao Huachun and the others, he put away the smile on his face again, and said with a serious face:

"Long live the Lord has a will, the murder in the palace, its crime should be punished, the Ming Dynasty has no law that does not blame the public, all the officials who participated in the action today will be held accountable."

"However, remembering that the participants have died, Long Live Lord is extrajudicial and allows him not to pursue his family, but only to raid all his homes."

The meaning of Lao Zhu's words is already obvious, that is, the crime can not be investigated, the family must be copied, and not a penny is missing.

Cao Huachun and the others, who understood it, immediately bowed and saluted, and said:

"The ministers obey."
