Reborn as a tyrant in the Ming Dynasty

Zhang Weixian, Zhang Qingzhen, and Wei Shitai, who were standing outside the palace, showed different expressions when they heard what the emperor said in the palace.

Even Zhang Weixian, who has a calm temperament, feels a warm current in his heart at this moment. It turns out that the emperor has always trusted him, but he just didn't show it in the past.

"You two, such a big thing happened in Xiyuan, and someone dared to deliberately commit murder."

Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian changed his previous state, looked at Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai with firm eyes, and said in a sonorous and forceful tone, "Your Majesty trusts us, so we can't live up to your kindness and rectify the matter of the personal guards. We must do a good job and there must be no accidents."

"promise!"

Zhang Qingzhen and Wei Shitai immediately raised their hands in response. However, they felt a little sad in their hearts. The British father-in-law was back again!

"Let's go."

Zhang Weixian flicked his sleeves and walked forward with his head held high.

A wisp of breeze blows, fluttering the python robe worn by Zhang Weixian. He is the British Duke of the Ming Dynasty. Since the emperor has entrusted him with important tasks, he must do it well!

Under the bright sun, several figures were getting further and further away from Chengguang Hall.

In Chengguang Hall at that time.

"Even if His Majesty wants to kill me, I still want to give you advice!"

Gaudi, who was scolded, suppressed the fear in his heart. Under the gaze of countless eyes, he lifted his robe and knelt down to the emperor, "Patriarchal etiquette..."

"You really want to die!"

Zhu Youxiao was sitting on the throne, a cold light flashed across his eyes, and he said in a cold tone: "Okay, since you want to die, then I will help you, come on! Arrest the traitor Gao Di and send him to prison tomorrow. West City Execution!!”

It’s really killing! !

This is the Minister of the Ministry of War, how can he kill just as he says?

When the ministers gathered in the palace heard what the emperor said, they all showed surprise and looked at the emperor in disbelief.

"Your Majesty! Even if I die, I will..."

Gao Di, who was being held up by Jin Yiwei, was obviously panicking at this moment, but he still shouted, wanting to express his attitude, but Zhu Youxiao didn't even look at it.

Zhu Youxiao's deep eyes scanned the hall. Zhou Yingqiu, the Minister of the Ministry of Justice, Wang Shaohui, the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, and Gao Di, the Minister of the Ministry of War, were all captured by him on the pretext of falling into the water. The first two were members of the eunuch party, and the latter was a civil servant, and He has some friendship with the Donglin Party in private. Judging from the results, he got the political plan he wanted after getting rid of the mysterious drowning case itself.

"Why are you all silent?"

Zhu Youxiao gathered his thoughts, leaned forward, and looked at the ministers gathered in front of him, "If anyone else wants to question my decision, please stand up!"

Zhu Youxiao's voice echoed in the Chengguang Hall, but all the ministers gathered in the hall, whether they were civil servants in the court or dignitaries in the capital, all lowered their heads.

question?

Do they dare? !

Let’s not talk about the Royal Guards specially appointed by the emperor, but let’s talk about the drowning and assassination in Xiyuan. If the truth of this case cannot be found out, I am afraid that the emperor’s anger will not disappear.

The assassin who has been arrested now has confessed that the one who assigned him to do the job is among them. The one that everyone is most concerned about right now is who it will be.

If the emperor does not explain this matter clearly, then the suspicion on them will not be clear.

"It seems that none of you have anything to say to me?"

Zhu Youxiao raised his brows slightly. When he saw that no one stood up, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and said: "If that's the case, then you all should step down. I'm not in a hurry to announce the culprit now. When you go back, everyone will write to me." It’s up to you to decide what you want to write in a memorial, I will never give up on this matter!”

At this point, Zhu Youxiao stood up suddenly, without even looking at the crowd, hummed coldly and shook his sleeves, then walked quickly towards the back of the palace with his head held high.

This……

Zhu Youxiao's strange behavior made everyone present stunned. No one knew what the emperor meant, and some people's heartbeats couldn't help but speed up.

The inability to figure out the emperor's intentions made many people nervous.

"Wei Zhongxian!! Get here!!"

And in this atmosphere, the voice coming from the back of the palace made everyone nervous.

Some people raised their heads and saw Wei Zhongxian kneeling beside the throne. He stood up with a trembling body. Without any hesitation, he endured the pain and walked towards the back of the palace.

"Everyone, please!"

Seeing this, Tian Ergen glanced at Xu Xianchun, asking him to control the key criminal. He looked at everyone with a serious expression, "Please hold on tight to the memorials submitted to your Majesty."

In the current tense atmosphere, no one knows what the emperor is thinking, which makes many people feel uneasy, and this is exactly the effect Zhu Youxiao wants.

The enemy is in the dark, and we are in the light.

This feeling of not having any guarantee is what Zhu Youxiao doesn't want.

He wanted to muddy the water, mess up the situation, and investigate the drowning case to the end, but at the same time, he had to do other things, otherwise he would be in danger all the time.

"Everyone get out!!"

Zhu Youxiao, who was sitting on the brocade stool, saw Wei Zhongxian limping in and shouted with cold eyes: "No one is allowed to come near without my will. Anyone who dares to disobey is Lingchi!!"

The eunuchs and eunuchs serving here lowered their heads in fear and retreated outside without any hesitation.

"Please, Your Majesty, punish this slave to death!"

Wei Zhongxian, who was frightened in his heart, grabbed the ground with his head at this moment, knelt down in front of Zhu Youxiao, his body was like sieving chaff and said: "Slave..."

"Wei Banban."

Zhu Youxiao looked at the kneeling Wei Zhongxian with a calm expression, stood up from the brocade stool and walked towards Wei Zhongxian, "Did Wei Banban see clearly everything in the hall just now?"

Ok?

Wei Zhongxian was stunned. He didn't know what the emperor meant by this.

"No one cares whether you live or die."

Zhu Youxiao stopped, looked down at Wei Zhongxian and said: "In their eyes, even if you Wei Zhongxian is in power again, but you really want to be killed by me, then you are nothing. Am I right?"

"Slave~"

Wei Zhongxian's hands trembled slightly. He didn't know this truth. Even though he was now in power, there was a prerequisite for it, which was to win the emperor's favor.

Without this relationship, he is nothing.

"Of course no one cares about my life or death."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "In their eyes, if I really died in Xiyuan, they might cry a few times and shed tears during the funeral, but they are not really sad. After all, I am a foolish king. Well, he is an emperor who only knows carpentry and does not care about military affairs. Why not replace him with another emperor?"

Wei Zhongxian lay on the ground and did not dare to move.

The emperor can speak such remarks, but he cannot listen!

"I know that the fall into the water and the assassination in Xiyuan were not your fault. If you don't have the courage, you will never do these things."

When Wei Zhongxian was in fear, the emperor said something that made Wei Zhongxian excited. He was about to raise his head to show his loyalty, but was stepped on.

"but."

Zhu Youxiao raised his foot to step on Wei Zhongxian and said in a low voice: "Wei Banban has become a little arrogant recently. Do you feel that a large number of Donglin Party members were expelled from the court under your design? You feel that no one dares to go against you." Now, you dare to accept the title of Nine Thousand Years Old?"

"!!!"

Wei Zhongxian felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, trembling all over. He never thought that the emperor would know about this.

"I won't tell you the truth."

Zhu Youxiao continued: "You are a smart man. I hope you can remember one sentence. What I give you is yours. If I don't give it to you, you can't grab it. You can't even think about it, because without me, You Wei Zhongxian should have died long ago!"

"When you conspired with Liu Chao to kill Wang An in Nanhaizi, I didn't say anything. But just because I didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that I didn't know about it. Don't think that you are the smartest in the world."

Wei Zhongxian, who was trampled on the ground, did not dare to move at this moment. His eyes were rolling around and his breathing was somewhat rapid.

Wei Zhongxian was afraid, completely afraid.

For some reason, he felt that the current emperor was completely different from before!

Very strange!

Very cold!

fear.

panic.

Various complex emotions arose in Wei Zhongxian's heart at this moment.

“If the roots die, how can the tree survive?”

Zhu Youxiao looked at Wei Zhongxian, raised his feet, then lifted his robe and squatted down, stretched out his hand to pat Wei Zhongxian's face, and said with a half-smile: "In this world, except for me, who can trust you and reuse you, would anyone else dare to do it? Wei Ban." My friend, you'd better pray that I can live a long life, otherwise the Donglin Party that you drove away, and even the people behind them, if they really want to seize the opportunity, you will be the first one who won't let it go. Wei Zhongxian, including your entire Wei family."

"Your Majesty, you will be blessed with great blessings, and you will surely live a long life!!"

Wei Zhongxian, whose defense was completely broken, suddenly got up from the ground and kowtowed madly towards Zhu Youxiao, "Your Majesty, this slave gave me this life. I am absolutely loyal to your Majesty!"

This is considered a good knock.

Zhu Youxiao, who was squatting, slightly raised the corners of his mouth when he saw Wei Zhongxian like this. If he could intimidate Wei Zhongxian, the next thing would be easier to handle.

He wants to cleanse the inner court!

"Stop knocking."

Zhu Youxiao stood up slowly, looked down at Wei Zhongxian and said: "I will drive to Qianqing Palace to deliver my oral instructions. I will take Tian Ergeng with a guard in royal robes to accompany him, and I will take Xu Xianchun to stay in Xiyuan. I will strictly examine those who accompany me today. No one can be let go." Pass!"

"The slaves obey the order."

Wei Zhongxian didn't dare to hesitate, he immediately kowtowed in response.
