Zhan Hui was waiting for those who were marching and making trouble.
After waiting and waiting, no one came. He thought that His Highness had made a mistake?
Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's words at this time, he was almost frightened to death. He knelt down on the spot, and his forehead was instantly covered with beads of sweat. Now that the New Year had just passed, the weather was still cold, but Zhan Hui could feel that the clothes on his body were instantly covered with sweat. Beaten until soaked.
He was so scared that he didn't know how to describe it.
Your Majesty seems not to care about anything and leaves everything to Jin Yiwei, but in fact, His Majesty knows everything. As the emperor's eyes and ears, Jin Yiwei is still very easy to find out about Zhan Hui.
The reason why he didn't say or do anything before the trial of the three divisions was that Lao Zhu wanted to capture Zhan Hui in the court of the Ministry of Justice.
To rectify the name of the good grandson.
In fact, if Zhan Hui didn't kneel down immediately and firmly deny it to the end, other officials could help refute it.
But he knelt down directly, which showed that he had a guilty conscience and that this person really had a problem. The other officials around him were also stunned.
None of them knew what Zhan Hui did. They only followed Zhan Hui, followed the orders Zhan Hui received from the emperor's grandson, and impeached the little emperor's grandson. From now on, there seems to be something behind this incident. There are other insider stories.
"Zhan Hui, why are you kneeling?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said curiously: "We just asked you and you knelt down. Are you really waiting for someone?"
Zhan Hui understood that everything was over, and the emperor's eldest grandson was also completely over.
But he didn't want to die. He crawled to Zhu Yuanzhang on his hands and knees, kowtowed vigorously and said: "Your Majesty, I am confused. This is my fault. I beg your Majesty to let me go. I will never dare to do it again!"
"Let it go? Don't you dare?"
Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, looking at Zhan Hui with an even colder look.
After doing such a thing, he still wanted to let himself go. It seemed that after not killing anyone for a long time, the officials were unsure of his position.
Zhu Song felt his whole body tremble when he met his father's eyes.
Usually, such a look indicates that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to kill someone, and Zhan Hui probably did this.
Zhu Xuan looked at Zhan Hui with interest, feeling that the story behind this matter was not that simple.
However, Yan Guan did not tell Zhu Xuan and others about the deeper results of Jin Yiwei's investigation, and could only wait for Grandpa Huang to announce it. However, Zhu Xuan could probably guess that Jin Yiwei must have found out about the White Lotus Sect, which is why Grandpa Huang would be so angry.
"Please let me go, Your Majesty!"
Zhan Hui's forehead hit the floor hard.
After a while, his head was broken and blood flowed.
"Jiang Wei, bring the people up."
"We need to know what qualifications you have to let us go."
"Did you collude with the White Lotus Sect and get the most out of your hard work?"
"Or did you frame the emperor's grandson and think you did the right thing, so you let us let you go?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said coldly.
White Lotus Sect?
Zhan Hui was stunned.
How could the emperor's eldest grandson be related to the White Lotus Sect?
Could it be that the person behind the emperor's eldest grandson is the White Lotus Sect?
This possibility seems very high.
As soon as the other officials heard the words "White Lotus Sect", they immediately realized that something was wrong and quickly distanced themselves from Zhan Hui.
Hou Tai and Lian Zining were numb, feeling that they were going to be killed by Zhan Hui, and were trying to figure out how to distance themselves from Zhan Hui.
The White Lotus Sect is the most intolerable group in the Ming Dynasty.
The smallpox at the beginning of last year was brought by the White Lotus Sect.
Even without Zhu Yuanzhang's ban on the White Lotus Sect, they still hated the White Lotus Sect.
"Your Majesty, I don't know the White Lotus Sect. I really don't know anything. I..."
Zhan Hui was also numb and hurriedly explained to himself.
But Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't listen. He looked coldly at all the trembling officials in the court and let out a cold laugh.
Not long after, Jiang Wei brought people in.
It was the beggar who picked up the jade pot, and all the people from the White Lotus Sect who dug it up in Yingtian.
The court hall of the Ministry of Justice was once again crowded with people.
"Master Zhan, can you still recognize this thing?"
Jiang Wei picked up the jade pot and placed it in front of Zhan Hui.
There was a note written by Zhu Yunwen on it, which he also opened.
Zhan Hui once again felt how terrifying Jin Yiwei was. He collapsed on the ground and gave no more explanation.
Faced with this situation, no amount of explanation is in vain.
Dead!
Jiang Wei then took off the clothes of the beggar and others and showed the tattoos of the White Lotus Sect on them to everyone.
The tattoo is not new, and Jin Yiwei is not framed.
"Your Majesty, I request the arrest of Zhan Hui, the Minister of Civil Service."
Hou Tai rolled his eyes and could only say sorry to Zhan Hui.
In this case, the only way to protect yourself is to let Zhan Hui die.
"I second the proposal."
Lian Zining said quickly.
"I second the proposal."
Other ministers agreed one after another.
They were eager to clear up the relationship and did not want to be implicated by the White Lotus Sect.
"Jiang Yu, catch people."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes turned cold and he said sternly: "Catch them all and take them back for interrogation. None of the officials present will be left alive."
"His Majesty!"
When Hou Tai and the others heard this, they couldn't avoid it.
But they all knelt down, kowtowed hard, and begged.
If you are taken away by Jin Yiwei, even if you are not guilty, you will still be convicted.
Furthermore, judging from Zhu Yuanzhang's intention, he really wanted to convict them.
Seeing this scene, Qi Tai and Huang Zicheng snickered secretly in their hearts. How dare they collude with the White Lotus Sect and frame His Royal Highness the Little Emperor?
This is not a proper courting of death!
"Grandpa Huang!"
Seeing this, Zhu Xuan thought that the opportunity had come to conquer the ministers of the dynasty, so he stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Grandpa Huang, my grandson wants to plead for them!"
"My dear grandson, what did you say?"
Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to have heard wrongly.
Other ministers also wondered whether they heard something wrong.
They framed the little emperor's grandson like this, but the little emperor's grandson still wants to plead for them?
Their eyes looked at Zhu Xuan with a strange color.
"My grandson wants to plead for mercy for the adults."
Zhu Xuan said sincerely: "It's Zhan Hui's fault, not everyone else's. They just listened to Zhan Hui's fooling, went astray, and were anxious to help their eldest brother get the upper hand. That's why they did this. They are guilty, but not guilty. As for entering the imperial prison, it will not lead to death. Sun'er thinks that Zhan Hui should be severely punished."
After saying this, he bowed.
Zhan Hui's people were all stunned, and no one cared about him anymore.
But those kneeling ministers finally felt that Zhu Xuan was also a very good grandson of the emperor.
"My dear grandson begged for mercy for them, don't you regret it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang asked calmly: "Even if your good grandson saves them, they may not be willing to help you. In their view, your good grandson is not qualified to be the emperor's grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "My grandson doesn't care about this. My grandson only thinks about Ming Dynasty."
Killing so many ministers at once was not something Zhu Yuanzhang had never done before. When he killed Hu Weiyong, he killed more people, but doing so could easily affect the government.
Those who can appear in the court of the Ministry of Punishment are all high officials of the imperial court.
It took a lot of effort to cultivate a batch, and it will take time and energy to cultivate another batch in the future.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted his eyes, and finally understood the little idea of the good grandson. He wanted to take this opportunity to subdue the high officials in the court. Perhaps by doing so, he could ignore the low status of the concubine, the concubine, and the embarrassment of having an illegitimate child.
In the future, if the good grandson is appointed as the grandson of the emperor, the ministers kneeling in front of them will not dare to object, or even feel embarrassed to object.
According to Jin Yiwei's investigation, the Ministry of Punishment and others committed malfeasance in their duties, but they were not involved with the White Lotus Sect. It was indeed Zhan Hui who was behind it.
"My dear grandson is still thoughtful and knows how to seize the opportunity."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed secretly.
As expected of Biao'er's child, he is as smart as Biao'er.
