Zhu Youtang put a circle of death on all the officials in the list of officials who he considered to be traitors. These traitorous officials were killed when they could be killed and exiled into the army when they could. The Ming Dynasty has a population of 50 million, so many people who want to be officials are overwhelmed. I am not a kind and generous emperor. Anyone who dares to confront me will lose their head! How many people did Zhu Chongba and Zhu Laosi kill during their period? With the intensity of killing officials, there are people who will take it for granted. What should I be afraid of if I kill a few people?
Zhu Jianshen left me such a mess. If I want to revive the Ming Dynasty, I have to start over. First clean up the internal staff and keep a few loyal losers.
Just when Zhu Youtang was thinking about his grand imperial career, He Ding walked in with a stack of memorials.
"Your Majesty, the imperial censors Xu Bin, Jiang Hong, the concubine Zou Zhi, and Qu Shen have jointly reported twelve major crimes against Li Zi, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites."
Zhu Youtang took the memorial and glanced at it, and found out that he was making friends with eunuchs, promoting witchcraft, harming the imperial court, and flouting laws, etc. The civil servants of the Ming Dynasty were still very powerful. In modern times, they were all top-notch trolls. There was not a single curse word in the memorials, but they could still scold Li Zisheng as bloody as he could. And the efficiency was amazing. I just asked He Ding to give them a hint, but I didn't expect that the memorial would be presented immediately.
Zhu Youtang pretended to be furious, threw the memorial on the ground and cursed: "Treacherous and sycophantic people are harming the country! I hate these treacherous ministers the most in my life. Who is the commander of Jin Yiwei's palm seal? Summon him to see him."
Zhu Youtang suddenly became furious, and He Ding was also startled. These eunuchs were all the emperor's domestic slaves. When Long Live Lord was happy, they could also be happy. When Long Live Lord was angry, they were also very frightened. . As the saying goes, when a man is angry, his blood will be splashed five steps ahead. When the emperor was angry, he laid down millions of corpses.
He Ding knelt down to pick up the memorials on the ground and said tremblingly: "The current commander of the palm seal is Wantong."
"Wantong, is this the younger brother of Concubine Xian?" He really likes history in modern times, and he has heard of Concubine Wan Gui. This is an unusual young woman! Her younger brother Wantong is the commander of Jinyiwei's Palm Seal, and her distant relative Wan'an is still the chief minister of the current cabinet.
"Back to the emperor, Wantong is Concubine Wan Guifei's younger brother."
Zhu Youtang waved his hand: "Ask me to tell you what to do, and summon the commanding officer Wan Tong to come to Qianqing Palace to see me."
"My slave obeys the order."
………
Ever since Zhu Youtang ascended the throne, Lao Wan's family has been in fear and panic all day long. His sister tortured his mother to death, and the hatred for killing his mother was irreconcilable. It's better for my sister to drive west, leaving me to take the blame. You said that since you tortured his mother to death, why didn't you get rid of Zhu Youtang as well? You can mess with anyone, but you can't mess with the emperor. Accompanying the emperor is like accompanying a tiger. Wantong believes that Zhu Youtang is definitely not a good man and a believer. He has already written a suicide note and arranged his funeral, and is waiting for Zhu Youtang to deal with him. These days, Wantong had no intention of clocking in at work and sent his men outside the government office every day to see when the emperor's personal entourage would arrive.
On this day, Wantong was eating in the Yamen. Suddenly, his subordinates hurried in and shouted: "No, no, sir, someone is coming from the palace!"
When Wantong heard this, he fell to his knees in fright, sweating profusely, and murmured: "My life is at stake, my life is at stake!"
He Ding followed the captain on duty into the inner hall and was dumbfounded. Is Mr. Wan crazy? "
Wantong hesitated for a while, left the suicide note to his subordinates and handed it over to his family, and then followed He Ding into the palace.
"Eunuch He, why is Your Majesty looking for me?"
"I don't know." He Ding answered neatly.
"How is your Majesty feeling?"
"very bad"
It's over. I, Wantong, will die today. I just hope that your majesty can give me a happy ending soon, and don't want to do anything about Lingchi's three thousand swords.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Wantong is here." He Ding called softly at the door.
"Okay, please wait at the door for a while and let Wantong come in."
After receiving Zhu Youtang's order, Wantong walked into the house cautiously and saw Zhu Youtang holding a book called "The Three Kingdoms" in his hand, and Liang Fang, the eunuch and eunuch who was sweating profusely, kneeling on the ground.
Wantong naturally knows what kind of thing Liang Fang is, this is not a good bird! I have also colluded with him. Could it be that His Majesty already knows about this?
"Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Commander Wantong, respectfully greets you!"
"I'm in peace." Zhu Youtang replied lightly, and then continued to pretend to look at the Three Kingdoms, ignoring the two of them.
Wantong and Liang Fang, who were kneeling below, exchanged glances. Both of them had served as ministers of the Dragon for many years, and they could not guess the thoughts of the 18-year-old emperor at this moment. Of course, the little actions and thoughts of the following two people were all seen through by Zhu Youtang using his mind-reading skills. None of this escaped Zhu Youtang's eyes.
As time went by, Wantong was so frightened that he was sweating profusely. At this moment, life was worse than death, and his heart was even more uneasy.
"Wantong, look at these memorials." Zhu Youtang threw the memorials on Long's case in front of Wantong.
"You must know that Li Zi Province has framed Zhongliang and harmed the country for so many years, right?" Zhu Youtang asked after reading The Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Liang Fang was so frightened that she peed her pants when she heard that it was Li Zisheng's business. Why Li Zisheng was able to use the Five Thunder Techniques and Fangzhong Technique to please Ming Xianzong back then was because he did not use them himself.
Wantong finished reading the memorials one by one, and immediately the hand holding the memorials began to tremble involuntarily. He also accepted money from Li Zisheng!
"My lord, this is a capital crime! I am ashamed of Your Majesty!"
When she saw Wantong bowing her head and pleading guilty, Liang Fang quickly fell to the ground and kowtowed "bang bang". "A slave is also punished by death, a slave is punished by death!"
Zhu Youtang stood up, kicked Liang Fang over, and cursed angrily: "You eunuch! The late emperor treated you badly, why did you collude with Li Zisheng and other demons to offer demonic methods?" Wantong saw Zhu Youtang taking action, and stood by He was trembling even more.
"Wantong, I'll give you a chance to make a difference, do you want it?" Zhu Youtang stepped on Liang Fang's head and looked at Wantong and asked.
Wantong was already filled with fear, and now he kowtowed and begged for mercy: "I want it, I definitely want it!"
Although Wantong is not a good bird, if he were to be killed at this moment, Zhu Youtang would not be able to think of anyone to replace him for a while, so it would be better to keep him for now and let him be his sword wielder so that he can take care of those people. The traitor has been chopped down.
"I order you to immediately send Li Zi to prison and investigate the officials who colluded with him. Anyone who colludes with him must not be let go! We must strictly investigate and the demon monk Jixiao will be punished on the spot! "
"I obey the order and go do it immediately." What Ling Wantong didn't expect was that Zhu Youtang didn't find any trouble with him today and asked him to continue doing this job. Then he would dig deep to save Li Zi. Plow up all the roots and branches so that Zhu Youtang can see that I, Wantong, can be your bitch!
At this time, Liang Fang's head was also broken, and he kept begging for mercy. Zhu Youtang snorted coldly, kicked Liang Fang over again, and said coldly: "You should retreat first. And this eunuch will be sent to prison and executed in Lingchi!"
Wantong resigned to Zhu Youtang, and before leaving, he grabbed Liang Fang's hair and dragged away Liang Fang, the eunuch who had done many evil things and brought disaster to Chenghua...
