Zhou Tianfu's eyes were full of sorrow and he said sadly:
"Your Majesty! How can this veteran have such rebellious intentions!"
"The old minister was born in a Jiangdong family, and his parents were both enlightened and knowledgeable. He was enlightened at the age of five, and he was able to read and decipher at the age of six. He began to read the classics at the age of nine, and at the age of seventeen, he began to treat classics! The first book is It’s the Bamboo Chronicle!”
"Old minister, I know what it means to be a king, a king, a minister, a father, a son, a son! Keep this in mind at all times, how dare you do this!"
After hearing this, Xiao Chen curled his lips.
This week Tianfu actually played the emotional card...
Isn't he funny...Does he think he and Chu Yanwu have any emotional cards?
However, Xiao Chen thought about it and almost understood what this old dog wanted to do.
When he said this seemingly illogical nonsense, he probably wasn't trying to play the emotional card on Chu Yanwu.
But to show his status as a scholar-bureaucrat.
He was vaguely telling Chu Yanwu that he didn't have that kind of intention.
You must know that this is the feudal era, and people from later generations like Xiao Chen know very well how important Confucianism is.
Under the blessing of "righteousness" and "Confucianism", Zhou Tianfu is equivalent to stacking several layers of buffs out of thin air.
As for other things, Xiao Chen thought that his lackey should do it for him.
as expected.
The Minister of Industry spoke:
"Your Majesty, these things are wrong!"
"Master Zhou has been Prime Minister for thirty years, is it possible that he has been so outrageous for two-thirds of the time? Regardless of other things, from the first point of view, the emperor dares to sell ordnance right now, and Master Zhou has even ten heads. Cut it!"
"Can he really be that stupid?"
Just as the Minister of Works finished speaking, the Minister of Officials spoke:
"Your Majesty, although the minister is not an old man in the court, I have heard that there was another first-class official in the capital fifteen years ago, and he was also a strong candidate for the prime ministership at that time! Is Mr. Zhou so stupid? Desecrate yourself at that critical moment?”
"Isn't he afraid that he will lose his identity as prime minister?"
After the minister of the Ministry of Industry finished speaking, the young minister of Honglu Temple also spoke:
"Your Majesty, these are Jiang Rongfeng's personal opinions. You haven't investigated clearly yet... I suggest that these things be registered in a register and send someone to investigate! If you don't investigate clearly, you will definitely not be punished!"
"After all, you have nothing to say, and human life is at stake!"
Xiao Chen glanced at the three of them.
What a professional bitch!
I’ve told you everything!
Even, in addition to the three of them, there were other courtiers in the court who were helping Zhou Tianfu speak.
In an instant, it was boiling and rising.
Chu Yanwu looked at the court with flames in his eyes.
Are these still his civil and military officials?
These are clearly Zhou Tianfu's civil and military officials!
His hatred for Zhou Tianfu became even more profound.
But at this moment, Xiao Chen looked up to the sky and shouted: "That's enough, shut up!"
He roared this time, which was considered as using some strength.
Everyone was shocked and fell silent.
And Xiao Chen said to Zhou Tianfu with a sneer:
"You are quite capable, and your lackeys are very protective of you!"
"Since you say you are corrupt, it is slander, and your son's making dirty money outside is also slander. Is it also slander to form a party for personal gain?"
"You ordered the six ministries to jointly fight against the imperial court. Is this also a slander?"
When Zhou Tianfu heard this, his heart suddenly jumped.
Oops... everyone's reaction was too intense!
You know, forming a party for personal gain is no small matter!
If you don't handle it well, you will lose your head. If you are not careful, you will be relegated to the beach to live in the world.
And a more critical point also happened to Zhou Tianfu.
Previously, that bitch Zhang Dongyang arrested a group of officials.
If anything is found out from their mouths, then he is dead.
In fact, Zhou Tianfu's prediction was quite accurate.
At that time, a young eunuch shouted at the door:
"Master Zhang, Minister of Household Affairs, is here!"
Along with this sound.
Zhang Dongyang walked in with a swagger like "I don't recognize my relatives".
Behind him were the shackled, disheveled, and distracted-looking Ministers of the Ministry of War and the Minister of Etiquette.
Look at these people in front of you.
All the civil and military officials present were heartbroken.
Even Zhou Tianfu's henchmen were almost scared to death.
They already knew that Zhang Dongyang had defected to Xiao Chen.
Previously, he and Xiao Chen sang together and directly captured a large number of Zhou Tianfu's gang members. This is also true.
The two people who appeared in front of them were the most illustrious beings among Zhou Tianfu's party members.
More appeared at this critical point.
What would happen next, no one present dared to think.
Zhang Dongyang walked in quickly, his eyes full of aloofness, and even a sense of victory.
Everyone saw his expression, and their hearts were filled with excitement.
Xiao Chen did look at him, and a slight smile flashed in their eyes.
Zhang Dongyang bowed to Chu Yanwu who was sitting on the dragon chair again, and said in a deep voice:
"I have met your Majesty, Zhang Dongyang, Minister of Household Affairs! Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
"Zhang Aiqing is exempt from the gift!"
Chu Yanwu waved his hand: "Tell me, what good news do you have here?"
Chu Yanwu looked at the two people with dejected faces and dull eyes, and he knew what had happened.
Zhang Dongyang's tone was a little cautious:
"Your Majesty! Earlier you sent your ministers to thoroughly investigate corruption in the court!"
"And now Wei Chen has found out why. The two people Wei Chen brought here are the corrupt leaders who have now confessed!"
"In addition to the two people, there are other officials in the three provinces and six ministries who have confessed to the evil deeds they have done. As long as His Majesty gives an order, the ministers can call them over, and they can also make confessions that the ministers will investigate and find out. Present the other things together!”
If Jiang Rongfeng, whom Xiao Chen brought here before, could be considered a big whale.
So the few people Zhang Dongyang brought here are no different from a Kun.
There was even chaos in the DPRK.
Although Zhang Dongyang followed Xiao Chen's list and arrested a group of people before, now at least 30% or even 40% of the people in the court have connections with Zhou Tianfu.
Among them, 10% to 20% have direct interests.
Otherwise, how can we say that "officials protect each other"...
If Zhou Tianfu is completely finished this time, these officials will have nothing to gain.
Go to Lingnan to eat lychees...ah, no, it is still good to be eaten by mosquitoes.
I'm afraid that I'll just come to one of the nine tribes to have fun.
Chu Yanwu stared at the dark heads below, with complex emotions flashing in his eyes.
There is anger, pain, and hatred...
But anyone could see that he was in a very bad mood, like a volcano about to erupt.
After a while, Chu Yanwu said:
"Okay... give it to me quickly and tell the truth!"
