    But now that the emperor has spoken, no matter how dissatisfied the ministers are, they can't stand up to the emperor like this. Fang Congzhe, as the chief assistant, can only walk out of the courtroom, salute and say: "Your Majesty, Jin Yiwei sent a batch to Dali Temple this morning  The prisoner also handed over the files on Liu Qi's case, and also passed on His Majesty's oral instructions, saying that all officials in Shuntian Prefecture who had accepted Liu Qi's bribes since Liu Qi's rise would be arrested and brought to justice, and they would be sentenced to death.  I feel that this matter is quite inappropriate, and I hope Your Majesty will take it back!"

    Zhu Youxiao straightened up, placed his right hand on the dragon table, and lightly tapped the dragon table with his index finger, making a subtle but very rhythmic sound. When the civil and military officials in the court heard this sound, their hearts trembled slightly!

    "Does Mr. Fang Ge mean that if this matter is handled according to my wishes, it will involve too many things and cause turmoil in the court?" Zhu Youxiao asked with a smile.

    "Your Majesty, your Majesty!" Fang Congzhe answered carefully, but he already knew in his heart that Zhu Youxiao would not change his mind on this matter, and all those who objected would be miserable, but as the chief assistant, he was not helpless.  Speak bravely

    !

    "How many officials are involved in Luo Aiqing's Liu Qiyi case this time?" Zhu Youxiao glanced at Luo Sigong and asked.

    "Your Majesty, I have interrogated and verified all night, and found that there are fifty-three officials involved in Liu Qiyi's case, seven of whom are in Beijing, and the rest are either high-ranking officials, transferred from outside, or promoted.  Two more are dead. The one who is in Beijing has been escorted to Dali Temple, and the one who is not in Beijing is about to request an order to arrest him!" Luo Sigong went out to report, which was very detailed!

    "There are only more than fifty people, so they won't cause turmoil in the court, right?" Zhu Youxiao turned his eyes to Fang Congzhe and asked with a smile.

    "Your Majesty, I thought that just one Liu Qi case resulted in the death of more than fifty officials. Isn't it a bit of a fuss?" Although Fang Congzhe knew that there was absolutely no room for maneuver in this matter, he still said it bravely.

    "Luo Aiqing, how many people has Liu Qi killed over the years?" Zhu Youxiao looked at Luo Sigong again and asked.

    "Your Majesty, I have led people to interrogate overnight. Liu Qi and his group of thieves have been in the capital for more than 20 years. They have done countless things that are harmful to nature and justice. The number of deceased people who have been documented has now reached more than 370.  People, others were forcibly kidnapped and sold to other places, or forced into prostitution, or used as concubines, whose life and death are difficult to verify. In addition, people were lured into gambling, or good people were persecuted by other means, to the point where  There are so many dead people that even Liu Qi and his gang members can¡¯t explain clearly. I estimate that there are always hundreds more lives!¡± Luo Sigong still answered meticulously!

    "Mr. Fang Ge, don't you still think those officials shouldn't die?" Zhu Youxiao's eyes fell on Fang Congzhe, and his tone was particularly cold!

    "I know I made a mistake, and I hope your majesty will forgive me!" Fang Congzhe was not ambiguous and immediately admitted his mistake.

    "If any of you think what I did is wrong, you can explain it to me face to face. As long as any of you can convince me, if I don't seek justice for those hundreds of lives, I will issue an imperial edict to punish myself in front of all the civil and military officials.  Everyone in the world pleads guilty!" Zhu Youxiao glanced at the civil and military officials of the court and said in a solemn tone.

    However, the civil and military officials who are already familiar with Zhu Youxiao's tactics know that with hundreds of lives on the line, whoever dares to intercede for those officials will easily be nailed to the pillar of shame. Dong Lin  The Party has learned a lesson from this, and now no one dares to touch this bad luck!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the silent civil and military officials and said loudly: "Since you don't want to say it, then I have something to say. Mencius said: the people are the most valuable, the country is the second most important, and the king is the least important. I deeply understand these words.  I think so. Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty also said that the people are the water and the king is the boat. The water carries the boat and the water overturns the boat. I dare not forget this for a moment, but whether it is Yasheng or Mingjun, they have forgotten it.  , in this world, besides the people and the king, there are officials, and you are these officials. You are supposed to assist the king at the top and manage the people at the bottom, but you despise the king at the top and bully the people at the bottom. The king does not listen to you.  The king is incompetent, and the people suffer because of his incompetence. Even if there are natural disasters such as floods and earthquakes, you can throw me, the emperor, out of the tank. But I want to ask you, if the emperor is allowed to do everything in the world, what is good and bad?  Let the emperor take the responsibility, so what do you officials want to do? Is it just to harm the people?"

    At the end of the sentence, Zhu Youxiao stood up suddenly and slapped the dragon table with his hand, making a loud noise. The emperor was furious. How could the civil and military officials dare to stand? Except for the generals who were in uniform, they could not kneel down and could only bow.  After saluting, all the civil servants knelt down, and the cry of apology resounded throughout the court!

    Zhu Youxiao looked at the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty with cold eyes and continued: "I only go out once in a while and encounter a case like this. What does this mean?This shows that the world of the Ming Dynasty is in a state of rottenness, and has even reached the point of cannibalism. However, you adults sit high in the court and turn a blind eye, singing to the wind and admiring the moon every day, drinking and drinking, trampling all the people, the country, and the king under your feet.  I would like to advise you here today to go back and read the words of Confucius and Mencius carefully. I don¡¯t need you to examine yourself three times every day, but you must be more vigilant from time to time!  "

    "I obey the decree!" All civil and military officials agreed in unison, but their voices were extremely dull!

    "Okay, let's all get up!" Zhu Youxiao said with a little impatient tone: "Liu Qi's case has been settled like this. The officials involved should not feel that they were wronged. After all, hundreds of lives were at stake? No.  The officials involved should not be happy, go back and wipe your butts clean, your butts must be clean before your head is safe!"

    "I understand!" The officials responded dullly again.

    Liu Qiyi's case was settled, and more than fifty officials were killed, which once again brought an earthquake to the officialdom of the Ming Dynasty. The civil and military officials once again had a deep understanding of the young emperor's decisive and murderous temperament.  Experience, it feels like when Taizu was alive, all the officials were wearing shackles at night!

    Zhu Youxiao didn't care about what the officials in the DPRK and the Central Government were thinking. He knew very well that these officials were all penmen. When it came to conspiracy and internal strife, they were all experts, but they met  The unreasonable knife handlers are actually just a bunch of cowards!

    ?????????????? Otherwise, Zhu Youxiao committed such deviant behavior as killing people in court the day before yesterday and exempting soldiers from kneeling and saluting. How could these civil servants, who always like to focus on the emperor's mistakes and then attack them in groups, be so quiet?

    "Compared with a slap in the face or a knife, which case has more serious consequences, these civil servants still know in their hearts!"

    So in the morning court, several matters of court affairs were discussed at a speed that had never been seen before. Zhu Youxiao directly announced his withdrawal from the court, and sent an order to Fang Congzhe, Liu Yishui, Yang Lian, and Luo Sigong to visit the Qianqing Palace. These four people were in the Baiguan Palace.  With envious eyes, he followed the chamberlain to Qianqing Palace.

    It was already noon when the four arrived at Qianqing Palace. When they met, they saw that Zhu Youxiao had changed into casual clothes and arranged lunch. It was obvious that Zhu Youxiao wanted to give Yan a lunch with the four of them.  , but the little emperor¡¯s gift is a bit crude!

    White flour steamed buns, a bowl of soup, and three vegetables, two meat and one vegetarian. It is more like a full meal than a feast. However, not everyone can eat such a meal. These four people can  After eating this meal, one can be said to be Zhu Youxiao's confidant!
