"Come on, I, I..."
Is Fei Ju still drunk at all? He was trembling all over and was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a plop, even turning over the desk in front of him.
There was both shame and fear in his heart. It's not common for a superior to lose such a big temper. How could he not die? He just hit the head of the superior's gun.
This time, I'm afraid my skin will peel off even if I don't die!
"Come on." Chen Huan, the Marquis of Puding who had a close relationship with Fei Ju, couldn't bear it and said, "Fei Laosan doesn't have any bad intentions, he's just a little greedy for the moment."
"Your Majesty, we Huaixi nobles are loyal to your superiors! Please be more careful, superiors!"
"Yes, our nobles from Huaixi are loyal to our superiors!" Many nobles from the Huaixi line also left the table and knelt down. Fei Ju was greedy for pleasure, and their butts were not clean. If Fei Ju is dealt with, will they be able to do well?
As soon as Chen Huan took the lead, a large group of nobles immediately bent over and knelt down. This large group of arrogant men suddenly knelt down, causing the strong wind to sway even the surrounding candlelights. The evil aura that hit his face made the hairs on Zhu Su's back stand on end as he was sitting upright watching the show.
Honorable Huaixi... What a huge battle!
These people have always regarded themselves as Lao Zhu's absolute confidants. They originally thought that when Lao Zhu saw them begging for mercy, he would borrow the donkey from the slope, lift it high and put it down gently, just like he did when he was their commander in the past.
But what they didn't expect was that when they saw them kneeling in unison, Lao Zhu became even more angry.
"Honorable Huaixi... Oh, Honorable Huaixi, such a majestic title, such a vicious general!"
"You can even kneel with such courage... He is indeed a good general brought out by Zhu Yuanzhang."
"Are you just acting like this to show off to us? We haven't even said that we're going to chop off the third child's head! Just kneel down one by one..."
"What, are you begging for mercy or forcing a palace? Do you want to remonstrate with me?"
"Come on, I...I don't dare!"
Chen Huan and others were originally kneeling on one knee, kneeling vigorously and high-spirited. When they heard Lao Zhu's words, they broke out in a cold sweat, and quickly changed to kneeling on both knees, even knocking their heads to the ground. They were no longer capable. momentum.
"Honorable Huaixi...Honorable Huaixi, you guys, I told you to read more history books, but you just don't listen!"
"You are a good founding hero... you are arrogant and domineering and don't care about people's livelihood. You still form a party and form your own faction..."
"Do you think the words "Huaixi Honorable Lord" sound very majestic?"
"These four words... are a murderous knife, they can kill people!"
"We are all brothers, and we sincerely want to start and end well with you."
"But we are the emperor! We are the emperor of the whole world! We have to be responsible for the whole world! We have to live up to our own conscience!"
"You say that you form cliques for personal gain, act arrogantly, torture the people, and even give and receive privately!"
The more Lao Zhu spoke, the angrier he became. He raised his foot and kicked a table away. The case flew into the crowd of kneeling Huaixi nobles, and no one dared to hide.
"You have violated the taboos of being an official throughout the ages. Tell me, are you forcing me, the emperor, to chop off my own hands and feet to apologize to the world, so as to leave a reputation in history as a tyrant who killed meritorious officials indiscriminately? ?”
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down! Your Majesty, please calm down!" A group of Huaixi nobles had long heard that the souls of the dead were rising, and they kept kowtowing. Many people were already sweating profusely, their faces were golden, and they even peeked to see if there were any guards pouring in at the entrance of the palace. I'm afraid that Lao Zhu will break the cup as a pretext and catch them all in one go.
But even so, Zhu Su did not see any nobles who looked dissatisfied and dared to stand up and make trouble. He glanced at his old man with great horror. At this moment, he admired Lao Zhu's imperial power.
This large group of proud soldiers and generals! Any one of them who is not covered with human life is just a piece of meat that is not stingy on a normal day. If they dare to offend them, even if it is the throne of the King of Heaven, they will dare to rush up and overthrow it.
But now, Lao Zhu was almost standing in front of them, pointing at their noses and scolding them. They were all trembling, and none of them dared to show dissatisfaction, let alone try "The Wrath of a Common Man with Blood Splattering" Five steps" allusion.
No wonder Lao Zhu was so sure that no one would dare to show his teeth at him... Looking at this situation, it was obvious that these people had been controlled by Lao Zhu.
In vain, Zhu Su also brought a close-fitting sharp blade for self-defense.
Lao Zhu looked around and saw that all the people in this group were bowing down and surrendering. They no longer had the evil spirit that they had when they begged for mercy. Lao Zhu nodded secretly in his heart. It seemed that the heat was almost over. So he winked at Erhu.
Erhu understood and stepped out. After a while, several servants came in carrying a huge copper gui.
Everyone was confused and didn't know what the copper gui did. Lao Zhu gently tapped the heavy copper gui, which made a crisp sound. He said: "We have thought about it. The reason why you are so unscrupulous is also our fault."
Some people quickly stood up to deny it, but Lao Zhu waved his hands and said: "No need to say more. Although we are the emperor, we are all brothers here, and we will not be stubborn and refuse to admit our mistakes."
"When we wrote the Ming Dynasty Law, we thought that most of you are impatient and don't know a few big characters. If you are impatient to study the law and accidentally violate the imperial ban, you will be lost in confusion. life."
"That's why I'm giving you a death-free ticket, just in case anything goes wrong. We don't have to worry about strict laws, and we don't have to worry about annihilating relatives. You can also understand our painstaking efforts, and work well with the Ming Dynasty and the country from generation to generation. Fellow relatives."
"But now it seems that we were wrong at that time, very wrong!"
"It is precisely because of the death penalty that you have turned from upright good men to unscrupulous corrupt officials and evil officials!"
"You think you have a few more lives than others, so you act recklessly! You are lawless!"
"What's the difference between you and those dog officials in Yuanting?"
Lao Zhu slapped the copper gui hard, and the faces of the Huaixi generals underneath were already as white as paper.
They all guessed what Lao Zhu wanted to say next.
"All of this comes from that iron ticket to avoid death!"
"We will place this bronze gui at the gate of the Fengtian Gate of the Imperial City." Ignoring the horrified looks in the nobles' eyes, Lao Zhu Lang said:
"From today on, within three days, if you can take the initiative to put the iron coupon into the copper gui and hand it over, whatever bad things you have done before, we will treat it as if your eyes can't see it and your ears can't hear it. Let bygones be bygones!"
"But if there is anyone who is reluctant to give up and has not handed over the iron certificate." Lao Zhu glanced at the generals below.
"Then you should weigh it for yourselves first. The iron coupon will help you grow that extra head..."
"Is that enough for us to chop down together?"
