The ministers trembled in their hearts, the three major halls were set on fire, as long as the head is normal, you know how fierce this reckoning will be.

Predictably how violent the storm will be this time.

The hundred officials suppressed the fear in their hearts, shouted long live, and performed the great courtesy of the monarch and the ministers.

Unexpectedly, this time, he did not get the emperor's 'peace of mind'.

Zhu Di just stood like that, his cold eyes swept over everyone, and he didn't say a word.

On weekdays, the emperor sits, and the hundred officials stand, and today the emperor stands, and the hundred officials kneel.

Today's Fengtian Hall was exceptionally quiet, and everyone lowered their heads, not daring to raise their heads to face the emperor.

After a long time, Zhu Di said coldly: "Take the prisoner!" ”

In a short time, a brocade guard was escorted in by the general of the Standing Palace, this person was caught by Zhu Zhanji in the Jinshen Palace, as for the arsonist of the Fengtian Hall and the Huagai Palace, because the arrest was not timely enough, he committed suicide on the spot.

"The emperor spares his life, spares his life, ......!"

Baihu kowtowed like pounding garlic, and soon his forehead was bloody, and he couldn't see his true face clearly, but he didn't dare to stop for a while.

"Who's behind it?" Zhu Di said lightly, "Tell me honestly, you can suffer less." ”

"The guilty minister confesses, and the guilty minister fully confesses." Baihu confessed on the spot, "It was Xiao Yi, the head of the household department, who instructed the criminal to do this, and the criminal accepted his bribes, and received a total of ......."

"You don't need to report the account, just say the person's name." Zhu Di didn't bother to listen to his nonsense, "What else?" ”

"No, no." Baihu trembled and continued to kowtow, "The minister only came into contact with him, and he didn't know anything else." ”

"Take the head of the household department to Xiao Yi." Zhu Di's tone is extremely cold, and the head of the household department is a six-grade official, which is by no means the final source.

The general of the station hall gave his hand and walked out of the main hall, and after a while, he escorted the head of the household who was standing outside the hall in.

"The emperor spares his life, and the minister is wronged, ......!" Xiao Yi knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, her head banged, but she refused to admit it.

As soon as he begged for mercy, the hundred households quit, and confronted him on the spot: "Obviously you asked me to do it, and I still have the silver taels you gave me at home;

Your Majesty, if you don't believe it, you can let people check it, and the stolen money is hidden under the bed in the minister's house. ”

When the eunuch on the station saw the emperor's eyes, he immediately arched his hand and went to do it cleverly.

Zhu Di sneered: "Xiao Yi, what else do you have to say?" ”

"Minister... The guilty man is guilty. Seeing that the matter was revealed, Xiao Yi immediately changed his words, "Your Majesty, the ministers were also coerced and tempted, and for a while, the lard was blinded ......"

"Who instructed you?"

"Fang Bin, the right attendant of the military department." Xiao Yi said busily.

From the hundred households to the principal, and then to the waiter, and then to the Shangshu...... Zhu Di's killing intent became stronger and stronger.

"Fang Bin ——!"

Like a thunderclap, the sound echoed in the Fengtian Temple, lingering for a long time, breathtaking.

After not responding for a long time, Zhu Di raised his eyes to look, but he didn't see Fang Bin.

"Li Qing."

"The minister is here."

"Where's Fang Bin?"

How do I know, he didn't ask me for leave, hiss...... Li Qing hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I'm afraid this person didn't abscond in fear of crime, right?" ”

"Run?" Zhu Di smiled, "I want to see where he can escape." ”

"Someone!"

……

Even the squire fell off his horse, and the ministers were frightened, for fear of implicating themselves, and secretly prayed.

At this time, Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, spoke, "Your Majesty, the right attendant of the Ministry of War is seriously suspected, and the Secretary of the Ministry of War is to blame." ”

He pouted his ass and looked at Li Qing, "Li Shangshu, your subordinates have done such a crazy thing, don't you have anything to say?" ”

Li Qing glanced at him deeply, and arched his hand: "Your Majesty, the ministers are not strict, and the ministers are guilty, please punish the emperor." ”

"You are guilty." Zhu Di's face was gloomy, "Punished for half a year!" ”

He didn't suspect Li Qing, who Li Qing was, he couldn't be clearer, and the eldest grandson had already told the details, the reason why he was able to catch the arsonist was because Li Qing said hello.

But the squire of the military department is involved, Li Qing, the secretary of the military department, is to blame, and it is also a crime for the emperor to be not strict, especially the burning of the three major halls, such a big crime, the punishment for half a year is light.

Lu Zhen saw that the calamity could not be diverted eastward, and he felt a little regretful in his heart, but he didn't dare to say anything more.

At this time, it is not good to say too much, and it is easy to arouse the suspicion of the emperor.

But Li Qing is not the one who suffers losses, in a word, his salary will be gone for more than half a year, will he give up?

Damn, don't let me get better, don't think about it...... Li Qing arched his hand and said, "Your Majesty, as far as the minister knows, Fang Bin and Lu Shangshu have always been good friends. ”

Zhu Di looked at Lu Zhen, and Lu Zhen's face turned white at that time.

"Your Majesty, he spews blood." Lu Zhen's voice was raised, with a frightened trill, as if crying, "The minister is wronged, above the officialdom, between colleagues, what does the scene of courtesy mean?"

If you usually say hello and say hello, then all the officials in this hall are good friends with Fang Bin. ”

There is nothing wrong with what he says, officialdom is about personal sophistication, but the bad thing is that he is too emotional.

The trembling tone and pale face made Zhu Di have to have a trace of suspicion about him.

However, in the end, it is a book, and Zhu Di cannot question it without evidence.

"Don't be impatient, when the guests come, everything will fall into place."

Soon, the time of the early dynasty passed, but Zhu Di didn't say anything about the dispersal of the dynasty, and no one dared to say anything among the ministers, kneeling down one by one with a sore back and numb legs, and the pain was unspeakable.

After another quarter of an hour, he went to arrest Fang Bin Jinyi and returned to Qianhu, but he was empty-handed.

"What about people?"

"Back to the emperor, Fang Bin is ......"

"Ran away?"

"No......" replied to Qianhu in Jinyi, "he hanged himself, and when the minister arrived, everyone was cold." ”

He's dead...... Zhu Di's eyes narrowed, and he said murderously: "What about the corpse?" ”

"Outside the temple."

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said lightly: "Zhongqing is flat, come with me." ”

After a while, the hundred officials in the hall came to the outside of the hall and saw Fang Bin, who had a long tongue and a miserable death.

Zhu Di reached out and touched it, and sure enough, it was already cold.

"Suicide in fear of sin?" Zhu Di smiled, "Do you really think that if you die, you will be a hundred?" How can there be such a good thing? ”

"Someone, hang him up and whip him!" Zhu Di glanced at the ministers coldly, "Look at it carefully." ”

In a short time, the dead Fang Bin was hanged, the body was severely whipped with iron spikes, and the Ouchi guards took turns to fight, and they lost their human form in only half an hour.

In the end, the body was cut into two pieces, and the ministers looked colorless.

Zhu Di's tone was cold: "Message: Fang Bin, the right attendant of the military department, rebelled, and punished the nine clans!"

The head of the subordinate household department, Xiao Yi Ling Chi, the three clans!

Accomplice Jinyi hundred households Wang Qiang, Yi three clans!

Accomplices in brocade clothes hundred households Liu Gang, Li Hai, whip corpses, Yi three clans! ”

Finally, another sentence was added: "Ming canonical punishment, invite the people to come and see." ”

……

After issuing the holy message, Zhu Di glanced at the silent ministers, and said lightly: "In order to put an end to things such as rebellion and fallacy, great treachery, etc., the foreign ministers show favoritism; I decided that, from now on, I will set up the Dongji Factory, and set up a minister and a governor;

The commander of the Jinyi Guard, the commander of the East Factory, controls each other, and controls each other inside and outside......"

This time, in addition to the brocade guard, the hundred officials have another surveillance.

The ministers were bitter in their hearts, but the ministers didn't dare to say it.

At this juncture, no one dares to touch the emperor's moldy head.

Zhu Di set up the Dongji Factory because Jinyiwei can no longer let him trust him, Jinyiwei can't be trusted, who else can be trusted?

The answer is eunuchs!

The eunuchs were the emperor's domestic slaves, and everything about them was given by the emperor and they could only be loyal to the emperor.

No matter how powerful they are, they can't leave the emperor.

"Scatter!" Zhu Di flicked the sleeves of his robe, ignored what the ministers thought, and left angrily.

The ministers were full of sorrow, but they were helpless.

……

Li Qing sighed, history played out again, and the institution of the East Factory was still set up.

The famous eunuchs of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Zhen, Liu Jin, and Wei Zhongxian, were all Dongchang factory dukes, and this institution can be described as notorious.

However, for the time being, it is understandable for Zhu Di to set up the East Factory.

A series of measures such as moving the capital, going to the West, and spreading the land into the mu have seriously hurt the interests of the officials and gentry, and even the three major halls of the palace dare to burn down, and if they are not suppressed, they are afraid that there will be even greater chaos.

It's just that once interest groups are formed, it is difficult to remove them.
