After Zhu Youxiao finished speaking, Lu Xiangsheng and Wen Tiren listened.
The two could not help but be in awe of their Emperor.
The two of them also understood why their emperor had always dared to do so many things that even emperors would not dare to do.
And now.
There is an answer.
I dare to love my emperor because he does not want to cause the country's subjugation in the future to lead to the subjugation of the world.
As a result, after the overthrow of the country and the country, even civilization also fell.
Liu Hongjie still didn't understand after hearing this.
As an egoist.
Liu Hongjie couldn't figure it out. He couldn't understand why His Majesty the Emperor was willing to continue to fight the whole world with all his strength so that the people of the world would not be so ugly when the Ming Dynasty fell.
Just like he couldn't figure out why his brother would force his family to die and disintegrate early for the sake of the Ming Dynasty.
"There is a word called mission. Maybe you have never thought about what your mission is. Maybe you don't care about this, but I tell you, I care, and there are many people who care! For these people, although death is irreversible, Mission is the value of still living, otherwise, all the time we have is meaningless!"
Zhu Youxiao warned Liu Hong earnestly and said: "Drag him down and temporarily hold him in Changshan County Yamen Prison until someone from Dongchang comes to pick him up."
As a result, Liu Hongjie was dragged down.
"Where is Tang Changbin, the magistrate of Changshan County?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
"Already waiting outside."
"Xuan!"
Not long after, Tang Changbin walked in: "I have met your Majesty."
"How did you investigate the evil done by the Liu family?"
Zhu Youxiao asked.
Tang Changbin replied: "Your Majesty, as far as I know from my inquiries, the Liu family has done a lot of evil things in recent years. They bully men and dominate women, commit all kinds of evil, and mergers are common. Embezzling official funds is also common. With the help of the chief minister, Powerful, widely bribed, and manipulating government agencies, he is just like the King of Shandong..."
Tang Changbin said everything in detail, and he said it with righteousness.
For a moment, he was moved by himself and felt that he was really an upright person now, and he dared to expose all the evil done by the Liu family.
After Zhu Youxiao heard this, he only asked: "Do you think this matter has anything to do with the chief minister?"
Tang Changbin didn't know that this was a trap, and besides, he didn't know the emperor's attitude towards Liu Hongxun. He also remembered what Lu Zesi told him that telling the truth in front of the emperor was the best response, so he replied truthfully:
"I think it is related to the chief minister. If the Liu family is not the chief minister's family, then officials everywhere will not tolerate the Liu family and give face to the Liu family."
"Does it have anything to do with you, the magistrate of Changshan?"
Zhu Youxiao asked in a cold tone at this time.
Tang Changbin's answer really disappointed him.
"minister……"
Tang Changbin was naturally stunned at this time.
He didn't understand why he got involved while talking?
Now, should I continue to follow the method taught by Lu Zesi and speak directly?
But to be honest, as the magistrate of Changshan County, the Liu family is a powerful force in Changshan County, and the Liu family's evil deeds must have something to do with me, the magistrate, turning a blind eye and letting things go.
Tang Changbin was extremely panicked at this time.
The beads of sweat on his forehead fell to the ground one by one.
He looked at Lu Xiangsheng and Wen Tiren as if asking for help.
Hope these two can help him.
However, neither Lu Xiangsheng nor Wen Tiren took a stand.
Because for them, at this time, they can only tell the truth.
boom!
Zhu Youxiao slapped the table and suddenly shouted: "Speak!"
Tang Changbin trembled with fright on the spot: "I am guilty, I have neglected my duty!"
"As the magistrate of Changshan County, but you sit back and watch the rich people in this county commit evil acts without noticing for a long time. You are not a stupid official, but also a person who is greedy for life and afraid of death. As the chief official of a county! I can do it because you have investigated the murder of the people who complained about injustice. , I will forgive you for your inability to take charge, but I will definitely not forgive you for your negligence of duty!"
As Zhu Youxiao spoke, he ordered: "Pass an order to put Tang Zhibin, the magistrate of Changshan County, in jail, and order the accompanying Dongchang staff to investigate whether he is guilty of corruption, bribery, harboring a wealthy family, or bending the law for personal gain!"
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Your Majesty, please spare your life!"
Tang Changbin cried.
He didn't understand how His Majesty the Emperor could fall out so easily.
When something happened that disturbed the Holy Emperor, His Majesty the Emperor did not kill him immediately, but instead punished him with meritorious deeds. Later, he was relatively gentle towards him, but now he became strict again, as if he wanted to punish him to death.
Wen Tiren couldn't help but feel sorry for Tang Changbin, thinking that if he was the magistrate of Tang County, he would have saved the day, and maybe he would get a chance to be in the emperor's heart. That is to say, the magistrate of Tang could not figure out the holy will, and he didn't know what he was doing. The staff were fooled, and they didn't even understand the holy intention.
"Your Majesty, I believe that Magistrate Tang is still suspected of deliberately condoning the Liu family's misdeeds!"
After Wen Tiren thought this, he suddenly had an idea and stood up decisively to say something to Zhu Youxiao.
Tang Changbin glanced at Wen Tiren in shock. He was carefully recalling whether there was any grudge between him and Wen Tiren.
After Zhu Youxiao heard this, he glanced at Wen Tiren and said, "Speak!"
"yes!"
Wen Tiren replied: "I believe that as the chief official of a county, it is impossible for him to be unaware of the evil done by the Liu family. If he can report the matter in time, with my understanding of Yuan Fu, Yuan Fu will He will definitely strictly control his own people, at least let your majesty know, but the ministers and other assistant ministers have never received reports of Liu's evil deeds, which shows that Tang Zhixian, like other officials who sheltered the Liu family, deliberately indulged the Liu family A clan!”
"As the saying goes, if you want to defeat someone, you must first make them proud. Magistrate Tang and others must have wanted to make the Liu family more and more arrogant and domineering until they were suspected of being involved in a major case like rebellion, so that Yuan Fu could be implicated. , and then forced Yuan Fu to step down. It can be said that Tang Zhixian and others have ulterior motives and are forming cliques for personal gain! The old minister suggested that Tang Zhixian should be severely investigated. Now that Yan Shoufu is related to this case, who instigated it? "
Wen Tiren said that these were naturally based on the holy will and made up a seemingly logical reason.
After Zhu Youxiao listened, he had to admit that Wen Tiren was the person who served as the chief assistant for the longest time in the Chongzhen period in history. His ability to figure out other people's intentions was really unmatched by ordinary people, so he took advantage of the situation and ordered: "Go to the East Factory to investigate carefully." , who ordered Tang Changbin to do so!"
After hearing this, Tang Changbin became anxious: "Your Majesty! I, I was not ordered by anyone. I did not deliberately indulge the Liu family, and I did not dare to harm Yuan Fu! I did not dare to deceive Your Majesty. I am really just lazy. Ah, I don’t really like to be an official. I prefer to use the new telescope made by the imperial court to look at the stars. Therefore, I don’t bother to ask more questions about the affairs of the Liu family and other wealthy families. I would like to ask the emperor for a clear warning! Ugh!”
But it was useless for Tang Changbin to shout now. Soon, he was dragged down by the emperor's guards.
Tang Changbin became agitated for a moment and shouted at Wen Tiren: "Wen, you treacherous minister, I have no enmity or grudge against you, why did you harm me!"
Wen Tiren pretended not to hear.
As long as he could find an opportunity to make the emperor take him more seriously, he didn't care who he stepped on.
