I've said it all, and I'm not afraid to write it. Besides, with the national battle in front of me, what can the prince do to himself?
Even when the emperor was on the throne, he had to make concessions to the nobles. The prince was a young man who had just ascended the throne and had an unstable foundation. He still needed the support of the nobles.
The three princes hesitated for a moment, then wrote down their recipes smoothly on the paper, and then signed their names after Zhou Kui on another piece of paper.
The noble gang insisted that the prince did not dare to operate on him, so they were even more confident and shameless when they fooled the second saint at the court meeting.
Wang Chengen didn't know how the prince would deal with this matter, but he always felt that these nobles would suffer. Even if Long Yan was offended, they deserved it.
After one of the national soldiers and the three dukes signed their names one after another, the marquis and earl in the palace had no worries and also signed as souvenirs.
Yaoji took a brief look at this large "treasure" held by Wang Chengen, raised his head and asked: "Where is Founder?"
The "Director of the East Factory" immediately walked out from the side and knelt down in front of the steps of the platform to salute.
Okay, the game is over. Yaoji gave Fang Zhenghua an order in public: "Go to the family members of these people to verify the situation. I want to hear their feedback! By the way, no one is allowed in or out first. Anyone who doesn't follow the recipe will Search the house on the spot! The Marquis and Earl's mansion will be inspected. If the money exceeds 10,000 taels of silver, the house will be searched. You don't have to come back to ask for instructions from me. If you can't find the silver, dig three feet into the ground. There may be hidden compartments and cellars!"
Originally, as long as you cooperate, I will just borrow some money from you. Even if it is calculated as a ten-year Zijin bond with 25% interest, the ten million taels of silver can be returned in full with interest.
But seeing how uncooperative you bunch of stingy people are, pretending to be poor like me in the main hall, and even dare to show off your tricks like frying soybeans. Since you are so shameless, then don’t blame me for being so disrespectful. You're welcome.
Xu Yunzhen was horrified when he heard this. Once the Dongchang vassal came to confront his family members and failed to breathe beforehand, the secret would definitely be exposed. His crime was a certainty. He immediately stopped him and said: "I'd like to report this matter to Your Highness the Crown Prince." It's absolutely impossible. Since the beginning of my reign, there has never been any precedent of raiding a minister's house because of a menu. If this is the first of its kind, wouldn't it be disregarding the ancestral system and breaking the trust of the ministers? It is not etiquette for the admiral of Dongchang to attend the meeting in court, and it should be Only when you exit the hall can you return to the right path!"
First of all, Fang Zhenghua must not be allowed to ransack his home.
Secondly, we must drive Founder out of here.
After that, together with all the nobles, I slowly launched an attack on the prince's bad behavior. I think even if the prince had the queen to rely on, he would not be able to resist.
Hearing such ridiculous words, Yaoji chuckled disdainfully, and then asked Fang Zhenghua coldly: "What are you waiting for? Waiting for him to treat you to fried soybeans? Get it done right away, no mistakes!"
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
Fang Zhenghua did not dare to neglect at all, he hurriedly bowed his head and saluted, then turned to leave. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time, otherwise he would have other agendas and openly disobey orders.
A chamberlain can be called a slave in the back palace, or a minister in the front hall in front of outsiders. But he is just a chamberlain, which is still a minister. It is better than the nickname of a eunuch, a slave.
"Wait a minute, come here!"
Yaoji stretched out his hand, and Fang Zhenghua hurriedly came closer and listened attentively. The prince whispered a few important words to his confidant in a low voice. Everyone could only see the favored Governor of Dongchang frowning and his expression solemn. I don’t know the specific content of what the little prince added to it.
Zhu Chunchen, Duke of Chengguo, saw that after the secret discussion between the monarch and his ministers, Fang Zhenghua was about to walk out of the hall. In desperation, he thought of a move that might be able to turn things around, so he pointed at a tall pillar not far away and shouted loudly: "If His Highness the Prince Ignoring the loyal words of the ministers and insisting on going my own way, the humble minister bumped his head against this pillar and died!"
In order to save his family property and his own head, Duke Cheng Guo risked his life. The prince was young and ignorant, and the queen was not familiar with government affairs. If she was threatened with life and death, she would surely be able to compromise.
All the distinguished nobles also began to help the tyrants, and they went out to salute with great righteousness, and said in unison: "Please take back your life, Your Majesty the Prince!"
The huge voice of disobedience lingered under the dome of the Huangji Hall and was difficult to dissipate for a long time. Among them was the voice of Queen Zhou's biological father and Yaoji's cheap grandfather Zhou Kui. The old man also wanted to take advantage of the situation to save his own face.
Looking at the large group of beasts that openly dared to confront him, Yao Ji narrowed his eyes, smiled evilly, and said sternly: "A group of evil-doing and unrepentant people, I want to see who dares to cause trouble today!"
Originally, I could have let you go at my own discretion, and at least spared the dog's life. Now even the room for maneuver has been squeezed out by you. Either the fish will die or the net will be broken. Let's see who is the first to kill the king and his ministers this time.
Two national battles (Zhou Kui and Tian Hongyu, Yuan Guifei's biological father Yuan You did not participate), three dukes, fifteen marquises, and twenty-one earls are all included in this list. Only the obedient Marquis Wu Weiying and the Xincheng Marquis Wang Guoxing are included in this list. , Xinlehou Liu Wenbing, Chengyi Bo Liu Kongzhao, Hui'an Bo Zhang Qingzhen, Xuancheng Bo Wei Shitai, Zhangwu Bo Yang Chongyou and others did not move.
It is said that gathering seven loyal nobles can summon...
Seeing such a bold and arrogant speech, Queen Zhou, who had always been calm and composed, was quite anxious. The situation suddenly became serious. If the nobles joined forces to disobey the order, Brother Hong might be in a passive position and find it difficult to carry out any government affairs.
With so many gangsters daring to challenge him on the spot, Yaoji also got angry: "Come here, drag out all the disobedient people and go to the square in front of the palace to read the order. If there is any disobedience, you will be guilty of deceiving the emperor." Discuss!"
The big Han generals standing on both sides of the ministers were not as good as others, but they were very familiar with the job and could easily capture it. Since the master was already angry, he could not hesitate at all and immediately dragged the forty-one nobles out of the hall in batches and kept them in the open space of the square.
"Feng Xiang, all the servants here are prohibited from entering or exiting to prevent anyone from secretly spreading the news. Anyone who disobeys the order will be punished immediately!"
Yaoji wants to use the power of thunder to kill the opponent by surprise. The honorable nobles and their families who can usually use tricks to deceive their fathers must not have imagined that their mansions would be raided by the Dongchang feudal clan. When disaster strikes, it will be too late to cover up the wealth of the country.
"Wei Chen obeys the order!"
Li Fengxiang, the eunuch in charge of the inner factory, understood that the prince was going to attack the nobles this time, and the punishment would be much harsher. He must try his best to cooperate, and he must not make any mistakes here, so he immediately ordered people to seal off the Huangji Palace. All entrances inside and outside.
In order to nip it in the bud and prevent assassins from colluding with the eunuchs to take advantage of the situation, Yaoji set up an inner factory to select the strong eunuchs in the empress house, train them intensively, and equip them with hot and cold weapons for use in important places in the empress house. Defense work.
In the early stage, we did not focus on quantity but focused on quality, but the number of trainees in the first phase was as many as 300. For the time being, it is stipulated that there will be morning exercises at 9 o'clock every day (5 o'clock in the morning). Except for the personnel on duty, they must run circles and then conduct various special trainings.
Yaoji's criteria for promoting eunuchs are also very simple, that is, they first select from the eunuchs who died in the Forbidden City.
Fang Zhenghua, who had killed many thieves with bang bang, was naturally the first to bear the brunt. Even if Wang Chengen, who could shoot guns, was reported by Gao Qiqian and others, he could still enjoy a stable treatment. The rest would be promoted based on their performance at that time. .
The main task of the inner factory is to protect the security of the inner court around the clock, especially after dusk. Although there are a large number of Forbidden City guards outside the Forbidden City, there is still no guarantee that everything will go wrong. Once the assassin sneaks into the rear mansion, it will be as if he is in a deserted place, and it will be easy to chop melons and vegetables.
Faced with the fat Han general dragging him with his arms folded, Xu Yunzhen still did not give up his threats: "Such a ridiculous thing has never happened in ancient times. Once it is a big mistake, it cannot be changed! I hope the prince Your Highness, please think twice and ask Her Majesty the Queen to take a closer look~!"
A group of nobles who usually hang out and wait for death never expected that the prince would dare to attack them on the first day of the court meeting. This was something even Emperor Chongzhen wanted to do but did not dare to do.
If everyone is forced into a desperate situation by the "indifferent" Prince Huangkou, when they are desperate, it will be a desperate situation. At worst, they will fight to the death and support Chongzhen's favorite fifth son to succeed to the throne.
For the tens of thousands of taels of silver in their own families, the nobles dared to share the same hatred with the enemy when Chongzhen was in power, not to mention that now that the emperor is seriously ill and the prince is supervising the country, this is a God-given opportunity, and it is a good time for them to show their talents.
Yaoji turned his head slightly and glanced at his beautiful biological mother, who had a sinking face, and then replied with a smile to a group of noble fat sheep: "I will check all the family backgrounds of all my dear friends in a while, and the truth will naturally come out. Eat soybeans... ...Haha, where is the Minister of Punishment?"
After hearing the summons, Zhen Shu hurriedly stepped out of the queue and answered with her hands raised: "Your Highness, the prince, I am here!"
"Zhen Aiqing, how should this deceiver be punished?"
If you dare to favor these idiots, then you don't need to be the Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Zhen Shu immediately understood what the prince meant and immediately reported: "Your Majesty, if you commit this crime, the principal offender should be ordered to have his whole family beheaded and his nine clans to be executed!"
To "show off" is to be detained in a busy city while the people watch the live broadcast, which is the same fate as Mr. Yuan's. It's just that killing the three Dukes in front of him must be regarded as eliminating harm for Min, and there is no mistake.
Yao Ji was very satisfied with the answer, and asked again as if he was eager to see through it: "If a person gets both the stolen goods and the evidence is conclusive, when can the execution be carried out?"
If it weren't for the three judicial departments of the Ministry of Punishment, the Metropolitan Procuratorate, and the Dali Temple, which had to go through the process, Yao Ji would have liked to immediately chop into pieces a group of distinguished nobles who dared to lie in front of him.
There is a saying: Whoever cuts off my wealth, I will cut off his livelihood. It is fair and reasonable!
Zhen Shu initially thought that the prince was just trying to scare the nobles, but the subsequent questioning made his heart tighten suddenly. Judging from the posture, the prince not only wanted to severely punish the nobles who dared to openly confront him, but also severely punished them.
