Above the court meeting, the atmosphere was quiet and terrifying, silent, and the civil and military officials lowered their heads one by one as if they had taken dumb medicine.

They didn't dare to speak.

The turmoil outside is getting more and more intense, the rumors are spreading more and more, and it involves the crown prince and the prince, whoever wants to talk nonsense will suffer.

Zhu Houzhao sat on the throne, his momentum was not angry and arrogant, his tiger eyes were bloodthirsty and violent, full of murderous intent and anger.

Spread rumors that his son rebelled, those people were so bold, did they really think that he would not dare to kill?

In this special period, he doesn't want to make too much trouble, which doesn't mean that he can tolerate those people's unscrupulous trouble.

"It is rumored outside that the prince is plotting rebellion and wants to carry out the Xuanwu Gate change, don't you have anything to say about this?"

The tone was faint, and he couldn't hear the joy and anger, but it made the ministers even more frightened.

The hidden emperor is the most terrifying.

"A bunch of well-fed bastards who have nothing to do."

The ministers secretly cursed, and greeted the eighteenth generation of the ancestors of those who spread rumors and caused trouble over and over again.

It's just a matter of looking for death by yourself, and even they are frightened, which is simply not a son of man.

Cautiously raised his head and glanced at Zhu Houzhao, Yang Yiqing, the first assistant of the cabinet, stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is rumored that the prince is plotting rebellion outside, which is purely groundless and nonsense. ”

"What Lord Shoufu said is very true, spreading rumors and framing the prince, the people behind the scenes can be punished, and they must not be tolerated."

"Spreading rumors that the prince is plotting rebellion and disturbing the situation in our dynasty is a capital crime, and it is better to indulge in vain!"

The ministers followed and spoke for Zhu Qiyuan.

They followed Zhu Houzhao to destroy the other dynasties, so they naturally had a grudge against the remnants of each dynasty, and with the conflict of interests, they couldn't get together, and they hated each other.

If Zhu Qiyuan falls, it is not Zhu Houzhao's descendants who will inherit the throne in the future, but the remnants of other dynasties, then their fate will definitely not be much better!

Once a son of heaven and a courtier, is it a lie.

Therefore, no matter whether Zhu Qiyuan rebelled or not, they all had to protect Zhu Qiyuan, and to protect Zhu Qiyuan was to protect themselves.

The attitude of the ministers made Zhu Houzhao quite satisfied, at least his people did not go the wrong way, and they knew who was their master in their future.

looked at Zhu Qiyuan who was standing beside him, and the killing intent in his heart skyrocketed again, like the Yellow River flooding, out of control.

Don't kill or cleanse it, some people still think that he is old and can't lift a knife.

Rumors about Zhu Qiyuan's rebellion?

Whether Zhu Qiyuan rebelled or not, he doesn't know if he is a father.

If he wanted to rebel, during his retreat, Zhu Qiyuan would have already done it, so why wait until now.

Standing up slowly, he first patted Zhu Qiyuan on the shoulder, signaled Zhu Qiyuan not to make a sound, and left everything to him to deal with, and then faced the ministers, unable to suppress the anger in his heart anymore.

"Whether the prince has rebelled or not, I know better than anyone else, those rumors outside are pure fabrication and false accusations, his heart can be punished, and his deeds are unforgivable."

"If I catch the person who spreads rumors behind the scenes, I will break his body into thousands of pieces, and his bones will be scattered."

Cultivating to reach the pinnacle of Taiyi, he is already qualified to set foot in the long river of time, grasp the cause and effect of fate, everything in the world is clear at a glance, and the plans of King An and those remnants of various dynasties cannot be hidden from his eyes.

It is precisely because he knows everything that he is extremely angry, intending to bring down his son and covet his inheritance, well, none of the people who participated in the framing of Zhu Qiyuan have to live.

"Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Cai, Cao Zhengchun, Lin Pingzhi, Zhu Ignore"

"Ordered Er and others to thoroughly investigate the rumor-mongering and framing of the prince, catch the rumor-monger, and immediately punish the ten clans."

At one time, he showed all the commonly used knives in his hand, which shows how angry Zhu Houzhao was at this time.

The remnants of various dynasties are just fighting for power and profit, Zhu Houzhao may still play with them, the political struggle is not just you coming and going, but they dare to target his son, Zhu Houzhao can't bear it, and directly flips the table, not paying attention to the rules.

Zhu Houzhao wants to see if the necks of the remnants of various dynasties are hard, or his knives are sharper.

Looking at the civil and military officials murderously, Zhu Houzhao said angrily: "I only have one son, whoever tries to make me cut off my children and grandchildren, I will let his ten clans be wiped out." ”

"I'm not dead, and I'm not confused, just rumors, it's not enough, but this wind can't rise, I hope the public will take it as a warning."

The ministers were silent, and their hearts that had been relaxed by the unification of the Ming Dynasty became cautious again, and they all understood that the emperor was warning them.

Those who spread rumors and framed the prince for rebellion will definitely die, but after this incident, the emperor also became wary of them, after all, rumors do not need capital.

In case one day, they are not satisfied with Zhu Qiyuan, the crown prince, wouldn't they be able to get rid of Zhu Qiyuan by spreading rumors and framing them, and support another person who satisfies them.

Although Zhu Houzhao has only one son, he still has a grandson, and it is not impossible to directly bypass the prince and support a grandson, as long as the throne is still in Zhu Houzhao's lineage.

This kind of operation is not impossible to achieve, and its practical operability is very high, and Zhu Houzhao will take precautions against it before it happens, and prevent these ministers from following the same example.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the ministers coldly, he had already warned him, if the ministers dared to spread rumors and frame him at will in the future, he could not be blamed for being ruthless.

His gaze moved to Liu Jin, Gu Dayong and a few people, and stayed on Cao Zhengchun, Lin Pingzhi, and Zhu Wuzhi for a moment.

The reason why there are these three people is because these three people are Zhu Qiyuan's people, and they are the three knives he prepared for Zhu Qiyuan, and these three people's participation in the thorough investigation of rumors also shows his absolute trust in Zhu Qiyuan.

When the blade is unsheathed, blood will surely be seen.

He, the emperor's murder knife, shot at the same time as the knife of the future monarch Zhu Qiyuan, so that everyone should know that rumors are always rumors.

"I give you the right to cut first and then play, if anyone dares to obstruct you and others from thoroughly investigating the rumors and framing the prince, they can be killed on the spot, whether it is the royal family, or the civil and military ministers, I will not be guilty."

Zhu Houzhao is very aware of the seriousness of this matter, which not only involves the remnants of various dynasties, but also his cheap brother King An participates, and it will be difficult to investigate thoroughly.

The former ministers are suffering, how can Lao Zhu Zhu Di and others be indifferent, and the death of a self-righteous Li Shanchang may not affect anything, but if there is a large-scale purge, Lao Zhu Zhu Di and others will never stand idly by.

If Lao Zhu Zhu Di and others want to make a comeback in the future, the support and help of those remnants of various dynasties are indispensable, and these Zhu Houzhao are all clear.

The right to give Liu Jin and others the right to cut first and then play is to prevent Lao Zhu Zhudi and others from getting involved and hindering Liu Jin and others from doing things.

Those remnants of various dynasties who framed Zhu Qiyuan must die, and no one can stop them.

Zhu Houzhao said!

dared to frame his sons, and they all ate the bear's heart and leopard gall, and they were tired of living and didn't want to live.

Since he didn't want to live anymore, Zhu Houzhao didn't mind fulfilling them and sending them to the bliss of death.

"The slave obeys."

Liu Jin, Gu Dayong, Zhang Cai, Zhu Ignorance, Cao Zhengchun, and Lin Pingzhi responded respectfully and took over the task of thoroughly investigating the rumor-mongering.
