Ming Dynasty: My Brother-in-law is Zhu Youxiao

Tian Qi stood up immediately after hearing this, glanced at Wei Zhongxian, and then excitedly said: "Immediately declare!"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Xu Xianchun, and blamed him in his heart: "Can you give our family some credit!"

Xu Xianchun also opened his mouth halfway at this time, his face full of disbelief.

How did West Factory do it?

At that time, didn't Li Sancai escape by boat after the raging fire appeared?

"His Majesty!"

Zhang Gui had already walked in at this time.

As soon as Tianqi saw Zhang Gui, he asked, "You Xichang really caught Li Sancai?"

Zhang Gui replied: "Yes, Your Majesty! He Li Sancai smuggled golden nanmu, and the evidence is convincing! So I sent people from Xichang to arrest him, and now I have prepared a memorial to join him."

"How did you catch it?"

Apocalypse asked.

Zhang Guidao: "It all depends on the subordinates to use their lives!"

Wei Zhongxian glanced at Xu Xianchun again.

Xu Xianchun: "..."

I'm also working hard, okay?

Tian Qi patted his knees and said: "No matter how you say it, your West Factory has made great contributions this time. The East Factory didn't catch Li Sancai, but your West Factory managed to catch him! It can be seen that the West Factory did better than the East Factory this time." The key point is that you arrested him at the West Factory because he was smuggled, and at the East Factory because he committed a major treason case, and the East Factory was not fully prepared than the West Factory.”

Apocalypse seems to be a master of PUA.

When he said this, both Wei Zhongxian and Xu Xianchun couldn't help but feel that they had lost face in front of the imperial court this time.

Tian Qi then ordered: "Bring Li Sancai here, I want to meet him in person."

"yes!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Not long after, Huang Degong of Xichang was ordered to bring Li Sancai to Tianqi.

As soon as Tianqi saw Li Sancai, he asked: "Li Sancai, the court treats you well, why did you harm me?!"

Li Sancai said: "The guilty minister has nothing to say!"

"You have to say it today!"

Tian Qi shouted loudly.

Li Sancai glanced at Zhang Gui, then suddenly laughed, looked at Tian Qi and said, "Your Majesty, that's right, you won this time, and you won thoroughly! But, without Uncle Zhang Gui, you wouldn't have won." of!"

Then, Li Sancai looked at Zhang Gui again: "Uncle Zhang Guo, I don't know how you did it, but the first general you recommended was a loyal minister who was loyal to the emperor, and dared to kill an encyclopedic Taoist official for the emperor! The first house copied after the West Factory turned out to be Shanxi merchants, and all the wealth we had temporarily stored in these merchants last year was copied! After the military equipment school was established, the enlisted students in the school could defeat Jiannu for the first time in battle! The old man racked his brains and didn't understand it, can you tell me so that I can die without regret."

Zhang Gui glanced at Tian Qi.

Tian Qi ordered: "Answer him."

Zhang Gui nodded and asked, "Is it difficult?"

Then, Zhang Gui said again: "Isn't it just doing things for the country sincerely?"

"I recommend Man Gui because he is really worthy of recommendation, not because I took his money;"

"I copied Shanxi Merchants because he really should, not because they didn't bring me to make money together;"

"The teachings I chose in the Armament School are also really worth using, and it's not because I took their money;"

"In a word, serve the country with sincerity!"

"So, is it hard to do this?"

After Zhang Gui asked, he reported to Tianqi: "Your Majesty, I think that if he, Li Xiuwu, is sincere in serving the country, he will do better than a foreign relative!"

"That's right!"

Tian Qi nodded, then looked at Li Sancai and said, "If you, Li Sancai, are sincere for the country, you will be fine!"

As he said that, Tian Qi said with emotion: "Da Ming has reached this stage, but there are too few people who are sincerely serving the country. Even these literati and bureaucrats who have read the books of sages only think about making profits, regardless of the safety of the people of the country!"

After hearing this, Li Sancai sneered: "Since that's the case, the guilty minister has nothing to say! Your Majesty doesn't need to let the factory guards judge the criminal minister's accomplices. Except for Zhou Yanru and others who have been arrested by His Majesty, those who have correspondence with criminal officials and whose evidence can be checked are Qian Longxi, Liu Yuru, and Wang Wanchun. They are all the sons of Jiangnan officials and gentry. Be careful, the criminals believe that they are not so easy to be arrested."

After speaking, Li Sancai said again: "Actually, if Uncle Guo hadn't cooperated with the Ye family to bribe the people around the criminal minister, the criminal minister would not have been caught by you!"

Tian Qi's face darkened after hearing this.

He had to admit that what Li Sancai said was right, the factory guards of the imperial court might not be able to successfully arrest these land snakes.

At this time, Zhang Gui stood up and said: "Your Majesty, it is not difficult to see the views of ministers. The traitors in these places are nothing more than good at coercing public opinion to fight against the court! But the public opinion here can only represent the public opinion of the gentry and gentry. They cannot represent most of the public opinion, such as tenants, urban employees, small traders, and self-cultivating farmers.”

"In fact, the gentry and gentry cannot do without the imperial court, because without the privileges granted to them by the imperial court, they cannot fight against the local government and oppress the common people."

"So, if they don't know how to promote and want to resist the imperial court's will, then the imperial court will not take them to play, and simply decree that all the state capitals that resist the order and even kill the imperial envoys will not be allowed to participate in the imperial examination for ten years! If ten years later, you still have to fight against the imperial court, then add another ten years, and you will not be allowed to take the imperial examination until you know that you are loyal to the imperial court!"

When Li Sancai heard what Zhang Gui said, he became excited first, and shouted at Zhang Gui: "Uncle Zhang Guo! You! How can you provoke Your Majesty like this? By doing this, don't you want the nobles in the world to be trampled by the king? This is for you what is the benefit?!"

"Nature has benefits!"

Zhang Gui replied, and then said: "The advantage is that my Ming Dynasty can truly realize that there is only one emperor, instead of tens of thousands of local emperors, and the world will prohibit it from now on."

Li Sancai: "..."

Immediately, Li Sancai hurriedly looked at Tianqi and said, "Your Majesty! The imperial examination is a grand ceremony for talents, and it cannot be used as a trick to manipulate scholars in the world!"

Tianqi had to admit that Zhang Gui's proposal hit the pain points of Li Sancai and other scholar-bureaucrats.

Therefore, Tianqi said: "This time the Suzhou scholars killed Wei Tiqi of the imperial court factory, which obviously violated my will. The Ministry of Rites passed the decree. Starting from Enke this year, plus the next ten years, the scholars from Suzhou Prefecture No one is allowed to take the college examination, the township examination, or the general examination! During this period of time, the scholars of Suzhou Prefecture must carefully study the book of loyalty and filial piety! This purpose is to use the "Dibao" to declare to all the governments of the world that if there are disobedient people like Suzhou scholars , are all like this!"

"Your Majesty! How can there be any reason to teach your subjects like this!"

Li Sancai cried out.

Tianqi ignored it, and only ordered: "Send Li Sancai to the Imperial Prison and wait for execution together with other treasonous criminals! In addition, send someone to immediately arrest the accomplices Li Sancai confessed to."

"Follow the order!"

Wei Zhongxian agreed, and ordered people to detain Li Sancai.

"His Majesty!"

"His Majesty!"

When Li Sancai was being dragged down, he was still yelling loudly, and he yelled to Zhang Gui: "Uncle Guo, you instigated His Majesty to do such a thing, what do you want to do, what do you want to do!"

Zhang Gui smiled lightly and glanced at Tian Qi.

After Wei Zhongxian escorted Li Sancai away, Tianqi suddenly asked Zhang Gui: "Do you think they will give in after the decree that the scholars of the Suzhou Mansion are not allowed to take the imperial examination for ten years?"

"It's best to be soft, if you don't, you can only ask your majesty to let your own people force them to be soft."

Zhang Gui replied.

Apocalypse nodded.

Soon, the decree that the scholars of the Suzhou government were not allowed to take the imperial examination within ten years reached the ears of the officials and gentlemen of Suzhou.

"This, this, this..."

"Why is the imperial court like this!"
