Chapter 41: King Ning Returns to Beijing

"Humph......"

Seeing that most of the officials didn't take his warning seriously, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly in his heart, extremely displeased, give them a chance, they don't want it, they have to go to death, so it's no wonder that he is ruthless and cold-hearted!

When the reform continues, none of these people will be able to escape.

"Retreat."

......

In the past, the officials of the three divisions had to go through the process for more than half a month or even longer to do things, but this time the efficiency of the work was unprecedentedly rapid and fast.

In just three days, from the preliminary trial, evidence collection, to the verdict, it was all done in one go, so fast that the officials of other departments of the imperial court outside the three divisions of Dali Temple, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Criminal Department couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Thirty-eight officials, headed by Zhang Wenjie, a member of the Ministry of Literature, were convicted of accepting bribes, raping and killing people's daughters, tampering with fish scale books, and other crimes.

This time, in order to keep more colleagues, the officials of the Third Division were also ruthless, and sent Zhang Wenjie and other officials to Liaodong.

And the reason why Zhang Wenjie and others honestly confessed their guilt and did not confess to more people was also because some officials assured them that as long as they kept their mouths shut, their families would be protected by the civilian clique, and after a few years, they would change their son's name, change their nationality information, participate in the scientific examination as well, and still be able to enter the office, which calmed down the matter.

It is also enough to give Zhang Wenjie and others benefits, otherwise I don't know how many people will be confessed, the six ministries and three courts, officials protect each other, collude with each other, and the number of people who are corrupt and pervert the law will be an extremely terrifying number.

"Little trick!"

Zhu Houzhao of the Third Division did not go over to watch, but on the surface, secretly, Dongchang had already reported to him, he just smiled disdainfully, and some small movements wanted to escape from the palm of his hand, and the ministers couldn't help but underestimate him!

After the three battalions of the Beijing Division, it was their turn, they thought they had escaped, but they didn't know that the real storm had just begun.

Zhu Houzhao didn't believe that they would watch their land being confiscated and their wealth looted, and the good show was still to come.

When his mind was flying, Zhu Houzhao suddenly remembered that he had asked Liu Jin to summon Zhang Yong in Liaodong not long ago, and asked him to escort King Ning back to Beijing, but he didn't know if he had arrived.

Immediately turned to Liu Jin and asked, "Where is King Ning?" ”

"Emperor Qiqi, King Ning arrived yesterday, and the slave arranged him in a deserted mansion in the south of the city."

"Let's go, let's see, I haven't seen this imperial uncle for a long time, I don't know what his current state is."

Changing into a regular clothes, Zhu Houzhao took Liu Jin to see King Ning, the imperial uncle who had a lot of favors to him.

......

A deserted mansion in the south of the city, overgrown with weeds, a mess, only a few houses are still intact, barely able to shelter from the wind and rain, and there is a team of Dongchang fans patrolling back and forth outside the house, which shows how extraordinary the people living in it are.

Zhu Houzhao strode in with Liu Jin, and when the team saw it, they quickly knelt down and saluted.

"See Your Majesty."

As Zhu Houzhao's royal murderous knife, Dongchang's fans can not know Liu Jin, but they can't help but know Zhu Houzhao, the emperor.

"No courtesy."

Zhu Houzhao stepped forward and pushed open the door, and walked in alone, Liu Jin and a team of Dongchang fans could only wait outside honestly.

In the room, there is only a bed, a table, and nothing else, and the furnishings are extremely simple.

On the top of the bed, a man with a withered face and gray hair lay down, and he looked at the roof quietly, as if there was something on the roof that attracted him.

He is Zhu Chenhao, the king of Ning, who was ambitious in the past, and wanted to learn from Zhu Di to engage in Fengtianjing, and actively competed for the upper position, but was easily defeated by Wang Yangming, and was thrown away by Zhu Houzhao to cultivate land in Liaodong and open up the wasteland.

creak

The sound of the door activating made King Ning come back to his senses in an instant, and when he looked up, he saw a nightmare that he never wanted to face again in his life, that handsome face, in his eyes, was no different from the devil.

"Uncle Huang, you seem to be surprised when you see me."

Zhu Houzhao said with a smile, without any hostility, just like an ordinary nephew greeting an elder.

But this kind of greeting, King Ning didn't dare to ask for it, and he couldn't afford it, he got up from the bed tremblingly, and respectfully saluted Zhu Houzhao: "The guilty minister didn't know that His Majesty was coming, and he lost his temper for a while, please forgive Your Majesty." ”

After many years, he finally learned to bow his head in front of Zhu Houzhao, and the harsh living environment in Liaodong had completely crushed all his pride.

Once he thought that Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne at a young age, at best, he was the second Jianwen Emperor, and he could replace him, but the facts proved that he was not the Yongle Emperor, and Zhu Houzhao was not the Jianwen Emperor Zhu Yunwen, all his ambitions were vulnerable in front of Zhu Houzhao, and now he was bent his backbone, and he could no longer afford to go against Zhu Houzhao.

"Why is Uncle Huang so polite, please get up!"

There is a request for others, Zhu Houzhao doesn't mind lowering his posture a little, and personally stepped forward to help King Ning up.

The two uncles and nephews sat facing each other, looking at King Ning no longer having the domineering and arrogant of the past, like a withered and old body, Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but sigh: "Time has passed, and the imperial uncle is also old!" ”

How did King Ning become what he is today, of course, it was because of him, and he wouldn't care, anyway, it was just a scene.

King Ning didn't take it seriously, but asked cautiously: "I don't know what Your Majesty has to do when he summons the guilty ministers back to Beijing!" ”

For this ruthless nephew, King Ning doesn't know much, but he understands the truth that no profit can not be early, he raised the flag and rebelled back then, and was sent to Liaodong to farm land and open up wasteland afterwards, and now he is called back, if there is nothing at all, it will be strange!

"Uncle Huang and I are both surnamed Zhu, they have the same origin, the same root and the same stream, they are all family, can't I talk to Uncle Huang if it's okay!"

Zhu Houzhao was still smiling, saying unnutritious words, while carefully observing the changes in King Ning's expression.

The same origin, the same root, the same family?

King Ning was stunned, if he really regarded him as a family, he could be sent to the ghost place in Liaodong to be punished, and he also specially sent Zhang Yong's dead eunuch to keep an eye on him, this is what a family does?

Moreover, since Emperor Taizu divided many vassal kings, although the Ming Zhu family is nominally a family, they have actually established their own family business, the so-called family is just a good thing, if it is really a family, how can there be Zhu Yunwen to cut the domain, how can there be Zhu Di Fengtianjing, how can there be a vassal king lying on Daming to suck blood.
