115 The Aftermath (4)
Zhu Youlang pointed to Jinbao and said sternly: "You are dirty in the temple, you have lost your etiquette in front of you, and you are betrayal by your friends, and you are a party, frame your ministers, and you are arbitrarily slandering them. If you are not punished severely, where is the monarch's power?! Come! Take it with me, and get rid of Jinbao Li Ke and give him a post as a minister, and then lead the palace gate to behead him!"
Jinbao knew that it was not good when he saw the emperor's posture, but he never expected that the emperor would kill him with a disagreement. He was shocked for a moment. It was not until the imperial guards raised him and dragged him out that he was shocked and shouted: "I am loyal to the Ming Dynasty! Your Majesty! You cannot kill me!"
Zhu Youlang waved his hand over his back, and the Golden Castle was dragged out in an instant.?
There was an uproar in the hall. Seeing the emperor so furious, the court officials felt a little scared in their hearts, but more of them were unbelievable and dissatisfied.
Liu Yuansheng, the Minister of Rites, came out of class and said angrily: "The ancestral system of the State Dynasty does not kill the swearing officials. Isn't your Majesty afraid of taking the eternal infamy?"
Zhu Youlang sneered slightly and said, "Jinbao used the reputation of hearing things to seek personal gain. He listened to people's instructions to reverse right and wrong and disrupted the country's affairs. If he was not severely punished, it would be a big harm!"
Liu Yuansheng bowed tremblingly to the emperor and said, "If the holy intention is like this, I can only beg for the return of the bones."
"Hmph!" Zhu Youlang didn't expect that Liu Yuansheng would threaten him with resignation. He was furious and stared at him with his eyes: "Do you think I dare not?"
"It is a minister who is incompetent and cannot lead to the king Yao and Shun." Faced with the emperor's anger, Liu Yuansheng realized that he had made a mistake, but he still refused to retreat. He believed that justice was in hand and the emperor did not dare to do anything to him.
Zhu Youlang laughed furiously: "Since this is the case, I will fulfill your wishes and fulfill your loyalty and honest name."
"My, my classmates, this..." This time, Liu Yuansheng was really a little panicked. He didn't expect that the emperor would really dare to take the risk of being insulted. He was anxious and hesitated and couldn't speak clearly. He stammered for a long time but couldn't say it out.
Zhu Youlang ignored the news and said to the ministers: "Who else wants to beg for bones? I'm sure all of them!"
The ministers were in an uproar again. Most of them impeached Chen Bangyan just for fame and fortune, and followed the trend, not really out of public intentions and concern for the country and the people. Seeing that the emperor was furious and serious, Tai half chose to shut up and dared not touch the rebellious scale again.
Only Feng Qinghua, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel, Cheng Yuan, the inspector of the Censor Cheng Lin, and other few humble rumors, who were in a low position, took the idea of becoming famous, regardless of their thirties or forties, defended their colleague Jinbao while begging for bones.
Looking at Feng Qinghua, a doctor of the Ministry of Personnel who looked pretentious, Zhu Youlang laughed and said, "Your name is Feng Qinghua, right? I am just looking for you. You have arrived at your door! Someone has a secret book and reported that you have taken bribes of more than 30,000 taels of gold and silver with no bribes. I have sent someone a few days ago to find out that there are both evidence and physical evidence. If you want to beg for bones, you may not have a chance. The rectification of the officials will begin today! The imperial guards obeyed the order!"
"Here!" Another thunderous roar was thunderous.
"Hold the greedy Feng Qinghua up and push out the palace gate to wait for the beheading with the Golden Castle!"
"Abide by the order!"
The imperial guard responded and entered the hall to erect Feng Qinghua, and the cold blade was placed on his fat and white neck. Feng Qinghua didn't expect that the emperor would find out his dark history quietly and sentence him to death. He was so scared that he was incontinent and urinated all over the floor.
Zhu Youlang smiled contemptuously and said, "I am not passionate about killing people, but this evil spirit has to punish one to warn a hundred! If the country has no laws, the country will be in chaos, and if the temple has no governance, the officials will be greedy. If you want to blame me, blame yourself for being greedy! Retreat the court!"
After saying that, he turned around and left with anger.
The remaining shocked ministers in the palace were really shocked by the emperor's few moves. The ministers in the palace were sweating coldly, and some of them fell to the ground and urinated.
After retreating from the court, Wu Zhenyu found Zhai Shizui on the way back to the yamen and whispered: "Feng Qinghua is corruption and bribery, and he is not willing to die; Jinbao is guilty, but he will not die, let alone a censor. The ancestral system of the State Court does not kill the censor. Your Majesty is angry. If you really kill it, you will definitely suffer a lot of reputation and a great disaster! We might as well go to meet the saint together. For the stability of the court, please give him a glimmer of life and forgive him!"
Zhai Shizu also felt that it was important and the emperor could not let the emperor take his temper. Although those rumors were temporarily shocked by the Lord's power, once the Golden Castle was killed, the movement would inevitably become chaotic again. At that time, rumors and the Lord's name would be affected, which would not be conducive to gathering people's hearts and the great cause of rejuvenation.
He thought about it and said, "No need to delay, let's go to the palace to meet you now!" After that, the two entered the palace together and met the emperor in the imperial study room.
After entering the imperial study room, he saw the emperor holding a tea bowl and savoring the tea. The emperor didn't seem very angry at this moment. After they knelt down and kowtowed three times, they were about to speak, but Zhu Youlang spoke first: "You are here to see me begging for the golden castle, right?"
Seeing that the emperor guessed it, Zhai Shizu and Wu Zhenyu simply said bluntly: "That's it."
Zhu Youlang chuckled and said, "I want to kill Feng Qinghua today because he is indeed unredeemable. Although Jinbao is also guilty, I am not confused yet. I know that he is not supposed to be killed. I just want him to accompany the court, kill him with his spirit, restrain his selfishness, let him see blood, and maybe know how to choose the following path."
Jinbao originally wanted to kill, but in the end, Zhu Youlang thought about it seriously and felt that he could not be beheaded. The reason was very simple. Killing a censor was a taboo in all dynasties and would leave a bad reputation in history. In addition, killing a censor is easy, but the harm caused by it is extremely great - if you kill those officials who dare to speak out for the blunt advice, then who would dare to stand up and say the truth and raise objections in the future? Since this is the case, Zhu Youlang had to suppress the anger in his heart and let himself calm down slowly. However, Jinbao could not just forget it, and it was necessary to let him suffer a little.
"My emperor is wise." Hearing the emperor say this, Zhai Shizu and Wu Zhenyu finally breathed a sigh of relief and completely relieved.
Outside the palace gate, Jinbao and Feng Qinghua were tied to the execution ground at the same time. It was found that behind him, the imperial guard drew his sword in his hand and raised his waist. A cold light flashed. Feng Qinghua immediately fell to the ground with his head, and blood spurted out of the high place, and the golden castle next to him shivered. Jinbao shivered and collapsed to the ground in fear. After all, he was just a political speculator, fearing death, and was extremely utilitarian. He did not have the courage and pride to face death. Just when he thought he was about to enter the underworld, the commander of the prison guard Lu Shiren patted his shoulder and laughed: "The emperor has an order that Jinbao will be exempted from death and will be a tyrant to serve as a labourer to atone for his sins!"
Seeing that Jinbao was sank on the ground and still motionless, Lu Shiren told him again without any help. Jinbao came back to his senses and asked in disbelief: "Your Majesty has he redeemed me?"
"It's true, Your Majesty will spare you."
