Emperor Zhengde of Ming Dynasty

Chapter 10 Emperor Sword

"Qizou Your Majesty, I suggest that the sealed treasury silver be carried to Qianqing Palace, so that I can see how much a million taels of silver are?"

Li Liangcheng, the governor of the south of the Yangtze River, likes to be quick for a while, which shows his importance in the court.

Zhu Hou took a look at him, but his face never changed.

"Yu Aiqing."

"Chen is here!"

"I order you to quickly transport the confiscated millions of treasury silver to Qianqing Palace without any mistakes!"

"According to the order!"

Boxes of silver were carried into the Forbidden City and into the Xuanzheng Hall by the Imperial Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
Outside the Forbidden City, Cao Zhengchun, dressed in brocade robes, folded his arms, his face showing a bit of coldness: "Do you really think that His Majesty will clean up the servants according to your wishes?"

"If His Majesty knew that you have more wealth than Liu Jin, if you were questioned at that time, would you still be filled with righteous indignation? Will you be as eloquent as you are now?"

In Cao Zhengchun's view, the greater the determination of His Majesty to punish the servants, the greater the determination of His Majesty to eliminate moths in the court on behalf of His Majesty.

Now His Majesty has punished the servants according to the wishes of you ministers. How will you justify it when the Son of Heaven Sword kills you in a short time?
Forbidden City, Jinshui Bridge.

Jin Yiwei, holding Qiushui Yanling knife, dragged boxes of sealed silver into Baiyu Square in a carriage.

26 sealed boxes, more than 100 million taels of silver.

Yu Maosheng, Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment, walked into the main hall, holding an ivory arc, bowed his hands and said, "Qizou Your Majesty, all the property of Liu Jin's family that was seized by the Ministry of Punishment will be transported outside the hall!"

"Bring it in, I want to see how huge this million silver is?"

"According to the order!"

Yu Maosheng walked out of the palace and ordered people to carry 26 boxes of silver into the palace.

Soon, Jin Yiwei neatly stacked millions of taels of silver in the main hall, which was magnificent.

Zhu Houzhao stood up, walked into the main hall, and walked around the silver mountain several times.

"Until today, I didn't know that there are so many million taels of silver!"

Zhu Houzhao walked in the hall, talking while walking, his face became more and more murderous!
"It's really eye-opening for a small eunuch with palm prints to be able to embezzle so much money from the Mo court."

"If I don't use codes, how can I restore peace to the world?"

Above the court hall, all civil and military officials agreed in unison: "Please, Your Majesty, thoroughly investigate the servants and restore peace to the world!"

"Your Majesty, please investigate this case thoroughly!"

Zhu Houzhao turned around suddenly, striding back to the dragon chair, his face was ashen, with a strong killing intent.

"Xuanyu Huatian enters the palace!"

"According to the order!"

The eunuch who served closely went out of the Forbidden City to adjust the rain and transform the fields into the palace.

When the incense burned, Yuhuatian entered the hall.

"Chen Yuhuatian, kowtow to His Majesty!"

"Rain Field"

Yuhuatian clasped his hands and cupped his fists: "The minister is here!"

"Immediately mobilize Xichang to capture Jinyiwei's commander Mou Bin and deputy Zhang Cai! If there is any resistance, the nine clans will be killed!"

"Immediately capture the eunuch Zhang Yong, Ma Yongcheng, Luo Xiang, and Gao Feng! Thoroughly investigate their mansions. If they have more than 1000 taels of ink, they will be cut in half immediately. If they have more than 10 taels of ink, they will be executed. If they have more than a million taels of ink, remove the three clans!" "

Zhu Houzhao was furious!

The emperor was furious, and millions of corpses flowed into rivers!
Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao's voice echoed in the hall, breathtaking!

In the court hall, all civil and military officials were trembling!

Yuhuatian's voice sounded like Hong Zhong's voice: "I obey the order!"

Zhu Houzhao got up suddenly, and waved his sleeves: "Liu Jin's greed for money and misuse of the country is a heinous crime. Let him move his three clans to serve as an example to others!"

Above the court hall, all civil servants and generals were scared pale.

This major purge will involve tens of thousands of people.

"Retreat!"

Zhu Houzhao was so angry that he waved his sleeves and left the court, leaving all the civil and military officials looking at each other in blank dismay.

It took a long time for the officials of the court to leave the Xuanzheng Hall. Many officials had been friends with Liu Jin, and their upper legs were already stumbling when they walked, and they obviously couldn't stand still.

Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao ruled the servants, but they were scared to fidget.

In particular, the words of copying and beheading all the families, removing and destroying the three clans, appeared in their minds from time to time.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Yuhuatian stood in front of Zhu Houzhao.

Although Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao's anger had subsided somewhat, his complexion was always dark.

The emperor can't bear it. If a person can bear it, his father, Emperor Hongzhi, is an example.

His civil servants can basically contradict him in the court, and even reprimand the emperor face to face.

In the past, a minister named Wei Zheng reprimanded Emperor Taizong face to face, and later generations said that it was the emperor's vain acceptance of remonstrance.

In fact, that person named Wei Zheng is a real jerk, and has always regarded the emperor's forbearance as a concession.

If an emperor has no dignity, does not make people fearful, does not make people fearful, and does not dare to kill, then how to maintain the dignity of the emperor?How to defend imperial power?

A cowardly emperor is destined to be unstable.

Ever since Zhu Houzhao ascended the throne, deep down in his heart he never intended to be a weak emperor.

Inside the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

Zhu Houzhao wiped the Emperor's Sword with silk and satin.

Standing in front of the emperor, Yuhuatian felt the emperor's murderous intent!
After wiping the last paragraph, Zhu Houzhao sheathed the Son of Heaven sword.

Keng!
He pulled out the Son of Heaven Sword again, and began to wipe the blade with satisfaction.

While wiping the edge of his sword, he asked Yuhuatian, "Yuhuatian, how many years have you been in Xichang?"

"Return to Your Majesty, I have been in Xichang for fourteen years."

"Well, it's about the same age as me. Let me ask you, how much money have you been greedy for over ten years?"

Zhu Houzhao asked casually, but never looked at Yuhuatian, as if two good friends were chatting.

However, Yuhuatian's heart was already in turmoil.

"Your Majesty Qizuo, although I am in charge of Xichang, I have always reported to the public to enforce the law. I have never thought of gaining personal benefits. It is my nature to serve the public wholeheartedly. I have never been greedy for money."

Zhu Houzhao squinted his eyes and looked up at Yuhuatian, before continuing with the matter at hand.

"I let you look at something, which was given to me by the Ouchi guards, you can look at it yourself!"

Zhu Houzhao threw a list in front of Yuhuatian, and Yuhuatian squatted down to pick it up, his face turned pale.

Dongchang Cao Zhengchun donated 40 taels of silver, five Hetian jade glass bottles, and hundreds of jade wares.
"Some people are my right-hand man. I am reluctant to cut them off unless it is absolutely necessary. But if it is a cancer on my body, don't blame me for being merciless."

Keng!
The emperor's sword is in its sheath!
"Yuhuatian, today is the last time I will ask you, and it is also the last chance I will give you, but I completely believe in you, you can keep yourself clean, and I hope you will keep it up."

"Go, Shangfang sword is used up, exchange it with me as soon as possible, this Tianzi sword will have many uses in the future!"

Zhu Houzhao condescendingly handed the Son of Heaven Sword to Yu Huatian, Yu Huatian caught the Sword of Son of Heaven with both hands, knelt on both knees and said:
"Chen Yuhuatian swears allegiance to His Majesty to the death, and is willing to lay waste to His Majesty, no matter what!"

Yu Huatian took the Tianzi sword and held the sword above the head of the whole country with both hands.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

After kowtowing, Yuhuatian left the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

What he is going to do is enough to shake the entire Ming Dynasty. The commander of Jinyiwei, Shenji Battalion, and Imperial Guards
Which of these institutions is not an institution with great power?None of them are easy to deal with.

If all these people were captured in one day, wouldn't it be a huge earthquake in the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty?

This method is powerful, it is equivalent to replacing all the ministers left behind by the previous dynasty.

This is called one emperor and one courtier.

Yu Huatian held Shangfang's sword in his hand, and his heart was also full of killing intent.
