Tai Chi Palace!

The great eunuch Qiu Defu walked into the hall with small steps and bowed his waist, and quietly came to the side of the old emperor Taixing. Behind him were four small yellow gates, each carrying a basket filled with memorials from his ministers.

Emperor Taixing was over seventy years old and looked like he was in his fifties or sixties. At this moment, he was meditating and practicing Qi with a group of Taoist priests. This was something the old emperor had to do every day.

Qiu Defu held his breath and did not dare to make any noise for fear of disturbing the old emperor's homework. Just hunched over and waiting.

After about a stick of incense, the old emperor finally finished his homework for the day and slowly opened his eyes.

A palace maid had been waiting for him for a long time. Seeing him open his eyes, she silently came forward, changed his clothes, wiped his face, and kneaded his shoulders to relax his muscles. No one spoke during the whole process, it was like a mime.

After the old emperor finished changing his clothes and felt comfortable, he asked Qiu Defu beside him, "What's going on today?"

Qiu Defu stepped forward and said softly: "Your Majesty, I have received 301 memorials today, most of which are to impeach Mr. Jiang."

"It's endless." Emperor Taixing said with disgust, "Where are the Jiangtu people?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Mr. Jiang is outside the palace gate, waiting to be summoned."

"Tell him to get in."

"promise!"

Qiu Defu received the order and waved his hand. Immediately, a small yellow gate came out of the hall with his waist bowed and Xuanjiang Tu came to see him.

After a while, Jiang Tu walked into the main hall with his waist bent. Before he reached the center of the hall, he knelt down and walked step by step. Kneeling and crawling, he came to the old emperor and shouted in a tearful tone: "Your Majesty, please punish me for the death penalty!"

"You bastard." Emperor Taixing kicked Jiang Tu over, picked up a memorial and threw it on his head, "See for yourself, these two baskets of memorials are all for impeaching you. How can this be so? It's just that there will be more memorials tomorrow. Have you dug a hole in the sky? The whole court wants you to die."

The old emperor stretched out his foot and kicked, and Jiang Tu rolled half a circle on the ground, feeling as if he had been kicked with great force. Immediately afterwards, he knelt down to the old emperor again, knelt upright, picked up the memorandum thrown by the old emperor, quickly read a few sentences, and then cried and said: "Your Majesty! The guilty minister made many mistakes. But the loyalty to His Majesty can be seen from the sun and the moon. The courtiers are jealous. They are jealous that the guilty minister can be put into his Majesty's favor and have the opportunity to share His Majesty's worries.

They clearly wanted to ruin His Majesty's great cause of monasticism and prevent His Majesty from seeking immortality. They just refused to understand His Majesty's painstaking efforts and devoted themselves wholeheartedly to destroying Your Majesty's great cause of monasticism. If the guilty minister dies, he will die, and it doesn't matter if he dies. However, the guilty minister will never tolerate anyone destroying His Majesty's great cause of monasticism. The guilty officials must fight them to the end. "

Jiang Tu's expression was distorted, giving people the illusion that this man was a mad dog.

People who are familiar with Jiang Tu actually know that he is a mad dog, a mad dog that is both crazy and insane.

Qiu Defu looked down on Jiang Tu, a villain, but His Majesty valued him. He could only lower his head silently, his expression remained calm, and he could never show any emotion in front of the old emperor.

"I am the emperor, and I am rich all over the world. Who will be in the way of cultivating the Tao? Everyone will not stop. You too, can you be more cautious and gentle in your actions? There have been so many troubles. Just because of you, those courtiers You harass me every day and refuse to let me practice Taoism in peace. At this moment, I really want to kill you!"

Jiang Tu felt in a trance, first surprised, then happy. He kowtowed frequently and cried: "If your majesty can practice Taoism with peace of mind by beheading the guilty minister, please decree that the guilty minister should be punished with death. It's a pity that from now on, the guilty minister can no longer share your majesty's worries. Who will do it for your majesty in the future?" To build a palace garden, who collects rare and rare plants from all over the world for His Majesty, and contributes a small amount to His Majesty's great cause of Taoism? I will never rest in peace when I think of the lack of people around Your Majesty!"

He spoke sincerely and cried so much that it moved heaven and earth. The key is that he didn't know where he learned the ability to make a grown man cry without being ugly, and it doesn't damage his handsome appearance in the slightest.

Qiu Defu was very angry and made another mental note of Jiang Tu. What are you talking about? What does it mean that His Majesty is short of servants? Are these eunuchs all dead? It’s not just building palaces and gardens, it’s not just collecting money, who can’t do that? There are many people who can do it, and they can do it better than the person named Jiang.

A villain named Jiang, even at this time, he still doesn't forget to put gold on his face. This person really deserves to die!

If the old emperor wasn't still angry at this moment, Qiu Defu would have given Jiang Tu some eye drops no matter what, so that the other party would know something. Fishing over the line is a big no-no. Dare to yin and yang and other eunuchs, huh, be careful if you die one day without knowing the reason.

"You bitch, you're going to die, don't cry in front of me. If you're a grown man, why are you crying? Just keep your mouth shut."

Emperor Taixing was very disgusted.

Jiang Tu quickly closed his crying mouth, but occasionally he would sob twice, looking extremely sad.

Seeing his appearance, Emperor Taixing seemed to be moved, and his tone obviously softened a little, "I know you are loyal. But what you have done is not enough even if you die a hundred times. What are you holding under your hands? Jiangnan is resisting taxes, and Jinzhou is also suffering, so that more and more rebels are suppressed. What are you doing for a living? Since the people below are incapable of doing things well, they all deserve to die!"

"Your Majesty, they still do things..."

"You still dare to defend those incompetent people. Could it be that you want to die for them?"

"The guilty minister deserves death! We will do whatever your majesty says." Jiang Tu made a prompt decision and decided to abandon his lackeys to save himself. As long as he could stand firm, there would be plenty of lackeys, and they would come in an endless stream, as many as he wanted.

Emperor Taixing nodded with satisfaction, "Don't be reluctant. If you don't do your job well, you deserve to die. Qiu Defu, draft an edict, and let the Jinyiwei arrest all the people involved in the Jiangnan tax resistance case and the Jinzhou case, and kill them if they deserve to be killed. In addition, did they arrest a group of officials who did not know right from wrong before?"

Qiu Defu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, a group of officials were indeed arrested, and they jointly signed to impeach Lord Jiang."

Emperor Taixing pondered for a moment, as if he was still weighing the pros and cons. After a moment, he made a decision and said, "Chop them all off."

Ah?

Qiu Defu was obviously shocked, "Your Majesty, is this appropriate? Once this matter is spread, the public will be in turmoil."

It's not enough to just chop off Jiang Tu's arm, but the officials who were imprisoned before should also be chopped off. This is not letting both sides go! Your Majesty, if you do this, I'm afraid it will provoke more violent resistance. Qiu Defu is very worried.

Your Majesty's political tactics seem to be getting more and more crazy. Just like Jiang Tu, this mad dog.

"Just draft the decree. If any officials resist, just report it to me."

"Your Majesty, do you want to reconsider it?"

"I have made up my mind!"
