The ceremony to worship Confucius was grand and complicated, so there is no need to go into details, and everyone knew that Zhu Youxiao's sacrifice to Confucius was just a formality. The most important thing today was that the emperor Zhu Youxiao had to have a final confrontation with the Donglin princes. !
This confrontation can be regarded as a matter of life and death for the Donglin Party, so the Donglin princes who were invited to come all looked like they were sinking and worried!
After the ceremony to commemorate Confucius, Lu Qingping came to deliver the message!
"According to His Majesty's instructions, all the Dukes of Donglin are invited to come to the Wenhua Hall for an audience!"
The Dukes of Donglin knew that the real drama was about to begin, so they respectfully accepted the order and headed to the palace together!
The Donglin Party has a large number of people in Jiangnan. There are seventy or eighty important figures carefully selected this time. Among them, Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and Gu Dazhang are the leaders, and the others follow!
Originally, this group of people planned to take advantage of the home court and teach the emperor Zhu Youxiao a lesson, but a few days ago Zuo Guangdou told him about Zhu Youxiao's anger. This group of people are extremely talented and knowledgeable. The great talents also held back their eggplants one by one!
Who made those disciples and disciples look embarrassed and were caught by the emperor? This made them feel very guilty when they wanted to talk to the emperor!
When they arrived at the Wenhua Hall, everyone came in as they were called. They saw Zhu Youxiao, the young emperor, sitting high behind the dragon writing desk. A pair of sharp eyes like a falcon swept over them, which immediately made the group of people feel excited. A chill!
Everyone had finished paying homage, and Zhu Youxiao also offered to sit down. However, after everyone sat down, Zhu Youxiao remained silent!
At this time, the emperor Zhu Youxiao did not speak, and it was difficult for others to say anything. The Wenhua Palace was completely silent, and the scene was extremely embarrassing!
Zhu Youxiao looked at the group of old men sitting below and sneered secretly in his heart: "Today I will let you know what the power of silence is!"
After a long time, just when the Donglin bosses were about to lose their patience, Zhu Youxiao said quietly: "I really want to know what you want?"
Everyone was already worried, but when Zhu Youxiao suddenly asked this question, they became even more confused. They all looked at each other but didn't know how to answer!
Zhu Youxiao didn't wait for these people to answer, so he said to himself: "You want power? I am the co-owner of the world and can give you enough power, but you have to go against me when you get the power. What do you want? Want wealth? I expanded my territory and conquered thousands of miles of mountains and rivers, which contained mountains and seas of wealth, but you turned a blind eye and always thought of competing with the people of Ming Dynasty for petty profits. Do you want fame? I will let you have it. Shuli said, you are free to use your talents, but you ignore it and focus on power and money, making the world a mess. So I am very confused, what do you want?"
Zhu Youxiao said these words in a leisurely manner, but his tone was filled with chill and disdain, which made everyone present feel cold in their hearts and sweat on their backs!
After Zhu Youxiao's words fell, all the Donglin bosses could not pretend not to hear, but they were unwilling to accept the words, so the leaders Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and Gu Dazhang looked at me. Look at you, Wenhua Palace fell into silence again for a while!
After a while, the eldest Ye Xianggao stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, we are dedicated to the people, the Ming Dynasty, and even more to Your Majesty. We really don't have so many selfish thoughts, and we dare not take such a heavy responsibility from Your Majesty!" "
"Haha!" Zhu Youxiao sneered twice and said: "It's a plan for the people, a plan for the Ming Dynasty, and even more for me. So I ask you, you guys plan for the people, why are the people of the Ming Dynasty displaced and unable to eat? The princes plan for the great Ming Dynasty, why do the eastern captives become more prosperous, and the Mongols invade the borders? The princes plan for me, why do I work hard to govern, and when I block the east and kill the west, the world is full of princes who criticize me for being stupid and ignorant? What kind of loyalty do you keep saying? I am patriotic, but I have put the people in trouble time and time again, and put the Ming Dynasty into crisis. I dare to ask you, how should I treat you?"
"This" Ye Xianggao was speechless when asked, and could only look to the other three for help!
But those three people were also well versed in the art of self-protection. Naturally, it was impossible for them to help Ye Xianggao at this time, so they all turned their heads without even looking at Ye Xianggao!
Seeing this scene, Zhu Youxiao was even more contemptuous of this group of people. He tapped the dragon book table lightly, making a rhythmic sound, and said: "I won't make any more detours with you. No matter what you want, I won't give it to you." You, because I have seen that you are weak and incompetent, I feel that even if I don¡¯t give you anything, or even take back everything you have now, you can only endure it!¡±
Say it!
Zhu Youxiao got up and was about to leave. Seeing that things had reached this point, a group of DonglinThe old man no longer dared to protect himself wisely. Ye Xianggao, Zhao Nanxing, Gao Panlong, and Gu Dazhang stood up quickly and said in unison: "Your Majesty, please stay!"
Zhu Youxiao turned to look at them and asked, "What else do you have to say?"
Ye Xianggao said with a sudden heart: "Your Majesty has too much misunderstanding about Donglin. Although there are unscrupulous people in Donglin, most of them are people with high moral integrity and lofty ideals. If your Majesty really abandons Donglin like worn shoes, sooner or later You will regret it!¡±
Zhu Youxiao looked at the distressed Ye Xianggao and sneered: "What I fear most are those high-minded people with lofty ideals in Donglin. These people know all day long that they are of no use to the country or the people by digging into old papers. When the people are in danger and the country is in crisis, it would be good to die to repay the king's kindness. What's more, I'm afraid that before the sword and ax are applied, I have already thought about how to please the new master!"
Zhu Youxiao¡¯s words were extremely serious and did not leave any face to these Donglin bosses. This group of people all blushed with anger, but they did not dare to be presumptuous in front of Zhu Youxiao!
Ye Xianggao Lao Lao said with tears: "Come on! Come on! Come on! Since your Majesty looks down on me, Donglin, so much, you will use this despicable life to prove that there are people in Donglin who are not afraid of death!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Xianggao had already tossed his head and hit the pillar in the hall!
Zhu Youxiao knew very well the urinal nature of Donglin and his gang, so he had already told Lu Qingping that he must not let these old guys die in the palace!
So Lu Qingping had already arranged for strong eunuchs in the Wenhua Palace. Ye Xianggao didn't even take two steps when he was stopped by two eunuchs!
Seeing that he was unsuccessful in seeking death, Ye Xianggao cried out: "Your Majesty has misunderstood me, Dong Lin, so I will let this old man prove with his life that Dong Lin is loyal to the Ming Dynasty and to your Majesty!"
As soon as Ye Xianggao cried, the other Donglin bosses also started crying, and some even shouted and bumped against the pillars, but these people were all stopped by the eunuchs without exception. !
Zhu Youxiao looked at the chaotic Wenhua Palace and felt a little headache. Although this group of people was of no use, they couldn't just kill them all. If that was the case, Jiangnan Shilin would lose its leader and become a different person. It will become even more messy, which is also extremely detrimental to Zhu Youxiao's next plan!
"That's enough!" Zhu Youxiao could only yell in the end: "If you continue to make trouble, I will send your whole family to Nanhua Continent and let you tell the natives of Nanhua Continent about your integrity. !¡±
Not to mention, Zhu Youxiao's roar made all the crying old men quiet down. They actually saw that Zhu Youxiao would not let them die, so they hit the pillars one after another, but they were not sure Will Zhu Youxiao really send his family to that South China continent?
Who knows where that place is, if you really go there, you may not even think about setting foot in the Central Plains again in this life, or even for future generations! (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
