Ming Dynasty: The Rampant Crown Prince

Feng Ying took the booklet, showed a hint of embarrassment, and said: "Back to Your Highness, this weather is somehow cold, and today's ministers are wearing a little thinner. "

Alright, you go down first."

"The minister will retire first."

Zhu Cihong leaned back on the chair tiredly, looked at Li Ruolian out of the corner of his eyes, and said, "Send another team of people to count the property of Zhou Kui Mansion and Zuodu Governor's Mansion." "

Decree."

Li Ruolian retreated cautiously, it seems that he has no leisure for a while, his feet are shaking when he has to copy his house, and his hands are cramping when he has to count the money.

"Back to the palace, it can be regarded as a net."

Zhu Cihong got up.

Qianqing Palace.

As soon as Zhu Cihong entered the gate of the palace, he was called to the Qianqing Palace.

"The son of the emperor greets his father."

Emperor Chongzhen's face was not very good, and he was still drinking soothing soup, and after listening to the words of the eighth child that day, he was directly fainted.

The foreign ministers dared to poison the prince together with the palace people, a total of more than 800 people, from the palm print eunuchs to the ordinary palace people!!

How can this make him not angry, but fortunately, the prince has the means, otherwise he really can't imagine what the end will be.

Then Chongzhen asked a bunch of questions, such as why those foreign ministers wanted to poison the prince, and Zhu Cihong had to explain them one by one.

"Father, the Guozhang Mansion and the Zuodu Governor's Mansion were destroyed last night, and it was done by a gang in Beicheng, which meant to kill for money."

Zhu Cihong explained everything, and then threw out a bombshell, which was indeed heavy news for Chongzhen.

"What!!"

Chongzhen's hands holding the bowl suddenly stopped, his face suddenly stiffened, and the whole person was stunned and at a loss.

After a long while, he slowly put it down, as if he had no strength to be angry, and he had already been full of anger in the past two days.

"Father, in fact, you don't have to be so sad, the national ruler Zhou Kui annexed 30,000 hectares of good land, colluded with the military bureau to sell arms privately, and was corrupt, and all he committed was a capital crime, which is good, at least he doesn't have to let his son personally convict him, and it can be regarded as retaining the royal face."

Zhu Cihong said slowly.

Chongzhen sighed, and then after greeting Zhu Cihong with warmth, he said that he was sick and rested.

Zhu Cihong could see that his father was indeed in a bad mood and his mental state was not right.

After leaving the Qianqing Palace, he was called by the queen again, and it was inevitable that there would be another shouting and asking for warmth, and when Zhu Cihong said that the Guozhang Mansion was not destroyed, the queen almost fainted on the spot.

If the queen knew that Zhou Kui and outsiders wanted to poison his son, I am afraid that he would be stunned on the spot.

......

The Mansion of the Duke of Wei.

A group of people gathered here, terrified.

"What!"

Xu Wenjue looked at the housekeeper who came to report the news in shock, and asked again in disbelief: "The Jiading Bo Mansion and the Zuodu Governor's Mansion have been destroyed?"

"It's true, I heard that the criminal has been found, it's a gang called the White Lotus Gang in Beicheng."

"Alright, you go down."

Xu Wenjue waved his hand, then looked at everyone again, and said, "What do you think about this matter?" He

was really panicked, the plan to poison the prince failed, but there was Qian Shisheng, Zhang Zhifa was arrested, he originally thought that as a prince and noble, there were royal relatives there, even if the prince knew that they did it together, it shouldn't be anything, after all, this matter was exposed, and the royal family's face was gloomy.

But unexpectedly, the two imperial relatives were actually wiped out, which made him a little scared in his heart.

"How can a gang of rivers and lakes have the courage to ransack the mansions of two royal relatives in the city?"

Although Li Guorui is timid, he is not stupid, this matter is obviously not so simple.

"Yes, and besides, it's a coincidence."

Li Hongji was also worried.

They are really afraid, they have done more bad things than this, the prince has such a method, if he really wants to get them, there are many reasons.

At this time, the housekeeper who had just gone out walked over quickly and said, "Grandpa, the people from the Criminal Department and Jinyiwei are here."

"What are they doing here?"

Xu Wenjue was stunned for a moment, feeling a little bad in his heart.

Before he could ask the butler to open the door, he saw a group of people approaching.

"Xiaguan, Feng Ying, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Ruolian, the acting commander of Jinyi Wei, has met the Duke of Guo and several marquis."

Although Feng Ying and Li Ruolian are here to get people, the etiquette is still thoughtful, no matter what, after all, they are both princes, and before announcing the edict, the etiquette still has to be there.

"What's the matter with you?"

Xu Wenjue always felt a bad premonition, since the last time Jinyiwei, he arrested Qian and Zhang, and today he came with the Criminal Department, that...

"On the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Duke Xu Wenjue of Wei, Marquis Deng Wenming of Dingyuan, Marquis Li Hongji of Linhuai, Marquis Li Guorui of Wuqing, receive the order of the East Palace!"

Feng Ying took out the prince's edict in his hand, and directly opened it and said loudly.

"The ministers take the order."

"Xu Wenjue, Duke of Wei, Deng Wenming, Marquis of Dingyuan, Li Hongji, Marquis of Linhuai, and Li Guorui, Marquis of Wuqing, colluded with the War Bureau, together with the White Lotus Gang to sell arms privately, instructed the head of the household department, and passed the judgment of the Tianfu, collected taxes in the name of the imperial court, and wantonly looted people's wealth, which is a heinous crime."

"Now the ironclad evidence is now, the special order of the Criminal Department, Jinyi Wei is arrested by the Criminal Department, and the crime is full of beheading, and the house is investigated!"

"Take them all!"

As soon as Feng Ying finished reading the will, Li Ruolian immediately changed his face, he was a prince before he was convicted, and after he was convicted, these people were criminals, so he naturally had nothing to be polite about.

"Ahh

As soon as Xu Wenjue and the four of them heard this will, they immediately felt dizzy, and instantly felt that the sky had fallen.

"I want to enter the palace to face the saint!!"

Xu Wenjue suddenly shouted.

"Guogong, don't say anything else, just colluding with the military bureau to sell arms, this is a big crime to exterminate the nine clans, His Royal Highness is also tolerant of you, in the end, the duke, the marquis, don't make too ugly and lose your face."

Li Ruolian said with a smile: "Dare to do it, everything has been done, since it was discovered by His Royal Highness, then it is generous, why do you need to be that clown." "

Yes, we have done all these things, not to mention, even the rumors in the palace a few days ago were done by us, do you know that the prince knew that we did it, but he didn't add this crime to it, because he was afraid of losing the face of the royal family, hahahaha..."

Deng Wenming suddenly laughed wildly, and shouted wildly: "Prince, Huangkou Xiaoer, you are so ruthless, much more ruthless than your father Chongzhen, and much more shameless than your father Chongzhen, hahaha...!"

"Shut up and drag it out!"

Li Ruolian walked up and slapped out, and then looked at Feng Ying again.

"Feng Butang, take all of your criminal departments away, and our Jinyi Wei will raid the house immediately."

......

"I've heard about it, this time Jinyiwei has arrested a lot of high-ranking officials, such as the Duke of the Kingdom, the Hou Ye, the University Scholar, and the Ministry of Rites, all of them."

"Tsk, I just killed a group of officials a few days ago, and it's only been a long time, and I want to kill a group of officials, this prince is really happy to kill people."

"It is rumored that the prince is extremely murderous today, and the scholars outside say that the prince is misleading the country and the people."

"The prince already has a nickname, and when he hears it, his voice changes, and the child stops crying."

For these people, killing officials is, of course, to eliminate harm for the people, but the killing is too frequent, coupled with the deliberate spread of some scholars, they can't help but feel that the prince of the current prison country is really so murderous.

Most of the magistrates have a bad image for the people, even if they are officials in the capital, they are happy to kill a few occasionally, but from time to time they will drag out and kill a batch, which feels a little terrible.

The people gradually felt that whether the officials killed by the prince were all corrupt officials, whether they were killing people for fun, and even good officials were killed, then who else would deal with the major affairs of the people's livelihood in the world.

"Daming has produced such a tyrant prince, the Ming country is dead, and some of the people of Daming have suffered."

"The prince is so tyrannical, and the current saint doesn't care about it, and he is not afraid of leaving a reputation for eternity."

Scholar in the teahouse, make friends and talk about the world.

Day 2.

Zhu Cihong looked at the music sent by Jinyiwei, and didn't feel anything in his heart about what he said above, saying that he was a tyrant, tyranny, and murderous infamy.

He is not an ancient, and he does not have the kind of idea of controlling people's words, whether he does it well or badly, the results will prove everything.

"After reading a little bit of books and listening to a little bit of public opinion, I thought I understood the things of the world."

Zhu Cihong put down the booklet and said: "On the surface, what they see is that the palace has killed a lot of ministers, so these scholars feel that the palace is a tyrant, the Ming Dynasty is coming to an end, and if they are used by people with good intentions, their blood will be resisted, and they will not be able to distinguish between good and bad, they will all oppose it, and even march on the streets."

"Once this opening is opened, in the future, if the imperial court has any policies that are not as good as they want, they will march through the streets to resist."

"Then why didn't Your Highness arrest these people?"

Qiu Zhizhong was a little puzzled, he was also busy in the past two days, and he wanted to take the eunuch who knew arithmetic to go to the Jinyi Wei Yamen to count the property of the Qian and Zhang families.

"As long as you still talk about it and don't take practical action, this palace won't do anything to them."

"Go to the execution ground."

Zhu Cihong changed his clothes and walked towards the outside of the palace.
