Chapter 045 Hit the knife edge by yourself, kill!
In Gu Xuanhui's original speculation, he always believed that the household department was the most important place in the country, and even His Majesty the Emperor had to give three points of courtesy and balance with him in the court.
A stunned prince of the prison country should be trying to find a way to envelop the six Shangshu.
Especially a book like him.
Now if the disaster is coming today, disaster relief is the top priority, at this juncture, where did the prince of the prison country get the courage to dare to challenge the God of Wealth of the Empire?
This is what Cao Qichang said at the wine table last night.
"Prince, you look like this, do you dare to kill the minister?"
The cowardice on Gu Xuanhui's face just flashed, and he immediately returned with courage.
I saw that he was not afraid to reply to the prince with his eyes, thinking that Yuan Zhi could not have the courage to move him.
At present, the empire is in need of money, and matters such as the details of the treasury and scheduling are indispensable to him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has to think about it carefully, you have moved a second-grade minister in charge of the treasury and finances, which is an indiscriminate killing of innocents, which makes the civil and military officials in the court cold, but no one dares to run an errand for the prince."
Gu Xuanhui obviously made a mistake in judgment, overestimated his own value, and underestimated the courage and courage of the prince in front of him.
Such a naked threat, like adding fuel to the fire, is not this the rhythm of death?
Originally, Yuan Zhi was still hesitating.
The last time he killed Chen Huaiyuan in the Xuanzheng Palace, it was this old man who didn't know the current affairs, and he was aggressive twice, and he hit the knife by himself.
Under the passion, Yuan Zhi pulled out the knife to kill the person.
Thinking about it in hindsight, it can be regarded as the beginning of the prison country, killing people to establish authority, killing chickens and making an example of monkeys, it is somewhat meaningful.
The purpose of imprisoning Wang Baoquan was to dismantle the traitorous party group headed by Cao Qichang, smash their conspiracy to collectively boycott the dynasty, and obtain the secrets of the traitorous party from it.
Yin Guang, who was a man in two lifetimes, knew very well in his heart that tyrant or tyranny was a precursor to losing the support of the people and heading towards self-destruction.
Therefore, he will never allow himself to be labeled as a tyrant.
The Wangchun Pavilion incident this afternoon, why he made a fire and punished Ding Jiu and Jiang Wulang was because his image was damaged.
But Gu Xuanhui in front of him is arrogant, confident, and extremely stupid.
He didn't learn the bloody lessons from Chen Huaiyuan and Wang Baoquan at all, and he was nakedly provoking the imperial power and despising the crown prince's imprisonment.
If this arrogance cannot be forcefully suppressed, in the future, the crown prince will completely lose its authority.
This is the bottom line of Prince Yuanzhi.
"Come on, push this disobedient sinner to the door and cut him down!"
"Yes!"
A few wolf-like Qianniuwei stepped forward, and Gu Xuanhui was about to be dragged out with Gu Xuanhui left and right.
This time, Gu Xuanhui was really frightened, panicked, and almost peed his crotch.
Suddenly, he found that his reliance and determination were not farts in front of the prince of the prison country.
It's all a rhythm of death.
From the moment Yuan Zhi made up his mind to fight back, he didn't intend to play his cards according to common sense, and he was completely acting according to the rules of his game.
"Prince! You are so brutal, how can you convince the court officials? Gu Xuanhui still wanted to die and struggle.
But there is one thing, he will not kneel and beg for mercy.
Soldiers can be killed, but not humiliated!
Gu Xuanhui still has this bit of style.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Zhi snorted and roared:
"A subordinate provincial servant, disobedient in public, was killed on the spot by Lone, and another second-class Zuo Squire of the Political Affairs Hall was dismissed from his post and imprisoned, is this not enough for you to wake up? You have to force the lonely to add your head, hmph, what's the matter? ”
"Lone wants to see, is it that all the officials of the imperial court and the state government dare not follow the orders of the prince of the prison country, so that it is okay, Lone will kill all the disobedient people and let the empire be reborn, why not?"
The prince's passionate words made Gu Xuanhui completely awake.
Even Cao Qichang and Yang Du, the court bigwigs, thought that the prince of the prison country would definitely compromise and balance with the courtiers and strive to slowly regain power.
But the realistic prince doesn't care about it at all, he prefers to cut through the mess with a quick knife, break the kettle, and take the sword sideways.
He is a second-grade scholar, and he does not have the military and political strength of Cao Xiang, and now he is involved in the struggle for the throne.
It's too late to regret.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, please listen to Weichen's explanation..."
But at this time, the crown prince was already angry, and his mind had been decided, so how could he have the leisure to listen to the ramblings.
Seeing that his sleeves were swinging, Qian Niuwei didn't say a word, and dragged Gu Xuanhui, who was struggling and shouting frantically, to leave.
The screams came to an abrupt end when they reached the gate.
Immediately, Jiang Wulang returned to the crown prince, holding a tray with both hands, on which was a bloody human head.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the criminal minister Gu Xuanhui has been subdued."
"Hang this head on the flagpole outside the gate of the East Palace and show it to the public for three days." Yuan Zhi said indifferently.
"Yes."
Jiang Wulang left in response.
Yuan Zhi was stunned for a moment, called Zhan Shiwei Changjin, who was standing with his hands down, gritted his teeth and said:
"Reissue a prince's fatwa, the head of the household is still the book Gu Xuanhui, disobedient, disrespectful to the prince of the prison country in court, in accordance with the national law and dynasty system, has launched the Yuanmen beheading, ordered Qianniuwei to confiscate his family property, handed over to the treasury, Gu Xuanhui and the three tribes are all demoted to commoners, expelled from the capital, and will never be allowed to enter Beijing."
"Yes."
Wei Changjin was about to leave, but was stopped by Yuan Zhi, "Wait, and then summon the left and right servants of the household department, and enter the hall one by one to see the lonely, this prince wants to see how seriously this household has been fooled by Cao Qichang, and he has to cut off a few heads today before someone agrees to do an errand for Lonely." ”
The prince gritted his teeth, his face was pale, and he was aggressive and scared to death.
"Wechen obeys."
When Wei Changjin saw such a bloody scene for the first time, his face turned pale with fright, his legs and stomach couldn't help but tremble, and he couldn't help but leave the hall and go outside to catch his breath and calm his emotions.
Hubu Shangshu is a second-grade official of the imperial court, and leads a large ministry, and is definitely the core figure of the imperial administration.
But with a wave of the prince's hand, he said that he would cut it, and he would confiscate his family, and more than 100 people from the three clans would be expelled from Beijing.
Today's prince exerts the power of thunder, which is intimidating.
If he hadn't seen it, but just heard it, he would have thought that the prince was crazy.
After a cup of tea, the left waiter of the household department was summoned to the Qinzheng Hall first.
"Wechen... Shi Shenyi, the left servant of the household department, was ordered to come to meet the prince of the prison state. ”
Shi Shenyi, who was out of breath and had not yet calmed down, knelt down on his knees, stretched his hands forward, and respectfully kowtowed to the monarch and minister.
As soon as he entered the East Palace, he was frightened half to death by the bloody head hanging outside the gate, and his whole body trembled.
No need to ask, he understood whose head it was.
"Get up, Shi Aiqing." Yuan Zhi raised his right hand slightly and said very calmly.
At first glance, who would believe that the prince had just gone crazy and killed people.
"His Royal Highness Prince Xie."
Shi Shenyi stood sideways after getting up, lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the prince's dignity, his legs and stomach were still trembling slightly.
