Han Qi's words were tantamount to forcing him into the palace, and he also bluntly said that the emperor had done something wrong. Even Chen Youzong, the General Affairs Envoy, and Yan Donglai, the Minister of Dali Temple, were stunned. They were just accompanying the show, and they would not do anything in the future. We have a reputation for being upright, but you really want to lead us down a dead end.
All the civil and military officials also trembled a few times. His Royal Highness, who was still covering his face with his sleeves and wiping away tears, also wanted to look back and see if Han Qi was really crazy. The previous advice was all about the situation and the person, but Han Qi Qi now pointed the finger directly at Zhu Yuanzhang, accusing the emperor of being wrong.
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression on the high platform darkened, and his deep eyes stared at Han Qi. Although he did not scold him, all the officials knew that the Holy Emperor was really angry.
Liu Chun's case was just a habitual trial between each other in the court. Although it seemed that 80% of the officials were interceding for Liu Chun, even if Liu Chun was executed by Ling Chi, it would not affect their interest in continuing to eat, drink, whore and gamble at night. .
The intercession for Liu Chun was just to open a small opening before the Holy Emperor's massive purge of officials, so that everyone could have room to maneuver. As for the bullshit Marquis Yihui, he didn't care about their affairs, and Liu Jizu didn't give them any land. Bury parents.
Basically everyone was acting, even the military commanders and nobles. Only this group of censors and officials were really prepared to trade their lives for the life of a villain like Liu Chun, just to maintain the majesty of the country's disciplinary laws.
After the Yushi Zhongcheng Han Qi finished speaking, he took off his official hat and put it aside: "I don't ask for my life, I just ask the emperor to think twice. It is an important matter for the country to eliminate the officials. Corruption was prevalent in the world in the former Yuan Dynasty. It must be done We must take advantage of the newly established dynasty to clean up the world and re-establish righteousness in the world. We must not relax because of a mere Liu Chun. A thousand-mile embankment collapsed in an ant nest. How can we ignore these lessons?"
When the censors of the seventh or eighth rank at the end of the official list heard this, their eyes shone with bright light, and they went straight out of the queue, took off their official hats, and knelt down behind Han Qi: "Please think twice, your Majesty. I am willing to give you my life to advise you. I only ask for your Majesty's help." Punish Liu Chun severely according to the law to eliminate corruption and establish the foundation of our Ming Dynasty for ten thousand years!"
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression became colder and colder, and no one in the civil or military officials dared to intercede on their behalf anymore. Perhaps it was because he had long been dissatisfied with these aloof nerds, or perhaps because he did not dare to face Zhu Yuanzhang's wrath. It had only been a few years since the founding of the country. , His Majesty is really the emperor, and he will never be afraid of killing officials.
Zhu Yuanzhang was also kneeling on the ground and his mind suddenly changed. These nerds would look for trouble. The situation was originally good. After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang cried a lot. He was so sad that he retreated from the court. Then he would drive to Fengyang tomorrow to meet Marquis Yihui. A cry in front of the tomb would make them happy, but now the nature of the whole thing has changed.
Liu Chun has never been the point. The point is that Zhu Yuanzhang wants to use his life to tell the corrupt officials in the world that no matter what your identity is, as long as you dare to be corrupt, you will only die. Even the son of my benefactor will not be exception. The imperial court The general trend of purging officials and governing is unstoppable!
But now that Han Qi said this, it became clear that the emperor was ignorant and was trying to protect the guilty ministers. The censors, such as Han Qi, were not afraid of life and death and accepted remonstrances to the death to uphold the laws of the country. As soon as this matter spread, let What do the people think? Even if Liu Chun is killed in the end, the nature has changed.
This is why the emperor hates these loyal ministers. Even the man named Li Shimin, Wei Zheng, was pushed to the tomb after his death. Even Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was like this, not to mention other monarchs. Loyal words are good for deeds, but they are ultimately against the ears. words.
Zhu Biao raised his head and glanced at his father. From his eyes, he could see the uncontrollable murderous intention. Lao Zhu had never been a person who swallowed his anger. He was a tycoon in troubled times who made his fortune by begging for food!
Zhu Biao knew that once Zhu Yuanzhang was allowed to speak, none of these censors, including Yan Donglai, Chen Youzong and others, would survive. The dozens of lives that had been expended did not matter to Lao Zhu. It had nothing to do with the overall situation, and neither did he. People who care so much about public opinion.
Zhu Biao stood up and pointed at Han Qi and others beside him and cursed: "How outrageous! As human ministers, you only want to fight to the death to gain a clear name, and leave an infamy to your father. It is in vain for you to study the poems and books of saints. Lord and ministers Tsunasa, have you learned from the dog's belly? How can you be worthy of being a human being without a king and a father?"
"The Holy One is the Son of Heaven, a role model for all the people. He has shown great kindness to the royal family by benefiting the princes. How can the Holy One directly order the execution of the benefactor's son? As ministers, you don't think about how to deal with it properly. You just share the worries and solve the problems for the king and father. If you know how to fight to the death, how can you be worthy of standing in a temple, how can you be worthy of receiving the people's taxes and stipends?"
Chen Youzong immediately burst into tears and shouted loudly: "I am arrogant and ignorant. I think I am taking care of the king's worries, but I don't want to put the king and his father in a dilemma. I am guilty, please forgive me!"
Yan Donglai also immediately agreed to beg for mercy. The two of them are members of the East Palace Party with a bright future, and they are not censors with a broken brain. Naturally, they will not think of risking their lives because of this matter.
With these two people admitting their mistakes, the censors who stood up for them were in embarrassment. After all, they were the ones who first demanded severe punishment for Liu Chun. However, the censors naturally couldn't bear to beg the emperor for mercy. For them, their reputation To be far more important than life.
Censor Zhongcheng Han Qi looked at Yan Donglai and Chen Youzong with contempt, slowly stood up on the floor and muttered in a low voice: "The righteousness lies in not giving in to power, disregarding its benefits, and the whole country will not change their minds, and they will die again." Upholding righteousness without giving up is the courage of a gentleman!"
"The Day of Death for Righteousness is today!"
After shouting the last words loudly, Old Master Han slammed straight into the dragon-coiled pillar in Fengtian Hall. His strong figure did not look like an old man over sixty years old. The young censors on the side seemed to have expected it, and they all glared. With big eyes, he looks at the figure who pounces on justice with admiration and longing, and will surely leave his name in history in the future.
The few civil servants next to the pillar immediately crawled out of the way. They were not too young. Han Qi, an old man, was dim-sighted. If he bumped into them, he would be killed. They didn't want to die like this. Cowardly.
The generals shouted from a distance, and a cauldron seemed to explode above the court, but most people were still kneeling on the ground, so naturally they had no time to pounce.
"Quick, stop him!"
"Without a king and a father, Han Qi has no way to make plans!"
"Mom, we're going to open our eyes today!"
Zhu Biao also cursed secretly. Fortunately, he was not wearing court clothes today. He immediately kicked off the ground and jumped forward. After all, the young man was very agile. He collided with Han Qi who was rushing halfway. The two of them rolled to the side. Old Master Han's The distance between my head and the pillar is less than one meter...
"Your Highness the Crown Prince! Someone come quickly and call the imperial doctor!"
"Go and help His Highness up, damn Han Qi, it's his mother's fault!"
"Han Qi charged at His Highness the Crown Prince and deserved to kill the whole family!"
