Zhang Cai, the Jinyi guard, went to the Jingjiang Palace, Guangxi to arrest Zhu Youqi, the king of Jingjiang, and Gao Feng, one of the Eight Tigers, went to arrest Qi Kangping, the governor of Yingtian.

Both of them are Zhu Houzhao's henchmen, and their ability to do things is not to be said, and soon King Jingjiang and Qi Kangping were escorted to the capital.

Zhu Houzhao didn't want to deal with King Jingjiang for the time being, but took the lead in meeting Qi Kangping, and he still had extremely high expectations for this noble son.

"The guilty minister Qi Kangping sees Your Majesty."

Dressed in a vermilion purple official robe, no more than twenty-seven or eighteen years old, with a serious and square face, Qi Kangping, who was quite dignified, saluted respectfully, his head was dead on the ground, and he didn't dare to face Zhu Houzhao directly.

From the time Gao Feng led people to arrest him, he knew that he was finished, and he was shameless in the face of the Holy Grace, worthy of the emperor's trust.

"Aren't you going to explain to yourself?"

Zhu Houzhao's tone was gloomy, full of disappointment, from that sentence of "criminal minister", he was completely dead.

Qi Kangping lived up to his expectations, and indeed became a super corrupt official, the kind that is heinous and deserves death.

"The guilty minister is ashamed of my emperor!"

Qi Kangping's face was about to be attached to the ground.

"You weren't like that before."

"I remember when I first met you, you were still a scholar with a heart for the world, dreaming of doing more practical things for the people!"

"How did you become the way you are now?"

Zhu Houzhao said with emotion, and his voice became more and more angry: "Corruption and bribery, buying murder, colluding with profiteers, making money and enclosing land, what else have you not done." ”

betrayal, deception, made Zhu Houzhao almost lose his mind, and he couldn't wait to immediately pull out a knife and cut this bastard thing.

"The guilty minister has the emperor's grace, and the crime deserves death."

Qi Kangping didn't make much excuses, and only wanted to die quickly.

Only when he dies will everything he did be buried, and the people he wants to protect will be safe.

Zhu Houzhao didn't misunderstand him, at the beginning, he really wanted to be a good official wholeheartedly, and benefit the party with his talents, but the world is unpredictable, in the big dye vat in Jiangnan, no matter how innocent he is, he will eventually be pulled into the water.

"Sin deserves ten thousand deaths, why don't you stop sin deserve ten thousand deaths, it is not enough for you to die ten thousand times."

Zhu Houzhao hated that iron could not become steel, and he had great expectations for Qi Kangping, hoping that one day Qi Kangping could rely on his ability to rise to the court step by step and become his right-hand man.

It's a pity that Qi Kangping's actions disappointed him completely.

Qi Kangping is a real humble scholar, born in a small village in Shanxi, since he was a child, his family was poor, his parents died early, and he grew up eating hundreds of family meals.

But he was gifted and studious, and left his hometown to study everywhere when he was a teenager, although he was despised and despised because of his background, he continued to improve on the road to study.

In the second year of Zhengde, Qi Kangping participated in the first imperial examination since Zhu Houzhao took the throne, originally with his background and some unspoken rules of the scientific examination, it was impossible for Qi Kangping to be admitted.

But sometimes people are lucky, and they can't stop it, when he met Zhu Houzhao who went out of the palace to relax, the two talked, Zhu Houzhao felt that he was the pearl of countless scholars, so he vigorously promoted him.

He was appointed to explore the flowers of that imperial examination, entered the Hanlin Academy, gave him Jishi, and then quickly climbed to the position of the governor of Yingtian, which can be described as a grand holy scroll, the grace of heaven, and the prosperity of official fortune.

But Qi Kangping, who was so optimistic about Zhu Houzhao and repeatedly promoted and reused, has now become a super corrupt official, and is also used as a tool to fight with Zhu Houzhao by the civil official group, which makes Zhu Houzhao not angry and angry.

Qi Kangping, who was once passionate, dedicated to the country, the world, and the people, has died, and the rest is Qi Kangping, a super corrupt official who was carried away by power and desire.

In the face of Zhu Houzhao's anger, Qi Kangping has always been tight-lipped, without saying a word, quietly waiting for Zhu Houzhao's verdict on him, he has committed several major crimes, it is impossible to live!

Zhu Houzhao knows him very well, and he also knows Zhu Houzhao very well.

Zhu Houzhao is very unruly, but if it is not in line with his wishes, even if it is the Emperor Ming Zu Xun left by Emperor Taizu, he dares to change it.

At the same time, Zhu Houzhao is also a very well-behaved person, he likes others to abide by his rules, because the rules he sets represent his will to a certain extent, which will make Zhu Houzhao, who has a strong desire to control, very happy.

Qi Kangping is guilty of several major crimes, and is suspected of deceiving and betraying Zhu Houzhao, he has seriously violated Zhu Houzhao's rules, no matter what, he must die.

No matter how much Zhu Houzhao admires him, there is no room for reversal, rules are rules, once the rules are broken and not punished, who will take the rules seriously.

Zhu Houzhao glanced at Qi Kangping coldly, and said: "I asked Gao Feng to check your family, there are only twenty taels of broken silver in your home, and your clothes, furniture, etc. are all old things, so it can be seen that your usual expenses are not large." ”

"I don't understand why you have committed so many great sins, you have lived so poorly."

When Qi Kangping heard this, Tong Kong shrank when he boarded, and reacted instantly, he still underestimated the emperor and Dongchang.

"Since Your Majesty knows everything, why bother asking!"

Smiling slightly, he understood that everything he had done could not be hidden, not only would he die, but the people he sheltered would also die with him.

"All sins are in the minister, I beg your majesty not to harm the innocent."

"Innocent, what is innocent."

Zhu Houzhao's face was extremely indifferent, "Since ancient times, Shenzhou has put human feelings and sophistication first, and it pays attention to one person's enlightenment, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven." ”

"You have become an official, you are developed, and you have to take care of your neighbors and villagers, I don't understand it."

"I also know your past, I grew up eating hundreds of family meals, and I was taken care of a lot by my neighbors, you are developed, and you want to repay your kindness, which is understandable, but is this the way you repay your kindness!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Houzhao was already furious, and threw all the various incriminating evidence about Qi Kangping collected by Gao Feng in his face.

"In order to arrange the neighbors and villagers in Shanxi's hometown to the south of the Yangtze River, you found someone to pretend to be bandits and slaughtered a strategically located village in Suzhou, so that your neighbors could live in it."

"The son of the neighbor relied on your prestige to rob the people's girls on the street, so that people died, and you suppressed it."

"By virtue of his position, he arranged everything that could be arranged, except for the elderly, children, and women, most of your neighbors and villagers have become the people who eat imperial food in the Suzhou Yamen, and if you give you a few more years, do you want to arrange the dogs in your village into the Yamen and eat a piece of the imperial court."

"The Jiang family, a big family in Suzhou, bribed you with 100,000 taels of silver, and you turned around and gave it to your neighbors and villagers to help them build houses, a village is now comparable to a small town."

.......

"Qi Kangping, you are indeed very good to your neighbors, so good that I have nothing to say."

"But, are you worthy of my trust in you?"

"I asked you to serve as the governor of Yingtian, so that you can sit on one side, serve the country and the people, and do your best, not to let you take advantage of your position to satisfy your own selfish desires."

Zhu Houzhao roared angrily, and the anger that had been accumulated for a long time completely exploded.
