"Ah~"
"How dare you beat the imperial official?"
Chen Ying fell to the ground, howling like a ghost. The entire palace was stunned by this sudden turn of events. For a moment, no one stepped forward to stop Chen Kan from committing the crime.
Chen Kan struck Chen Ying with his sword again and again, and Chen Ying protected her head with a look of horror on her face.
Rolling around on the ground and roaring.
"Stop it, stop it."
"How dare you, how dare you beat the imperial official in front of His Majesty?"
The courtiers didn't know whether it was because they were shocked by Chen Kan's brazen murder, or because Chen Ying was usually too unpopular. Everyone looked at this scene blankly, with no intention of saying anything to stop it.
Zhu Di, who was on the throne, watched this scene with interest and had no intention of stopping it.
The only ones who may have taken action may be the censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
But Chen Kan's current appearance was so frightening that they didn't dare to speak at all for a while, and naturally they didn't have the courage to stop Chen Kan from committing the crime.
"Chen Kan, stop!"
At the critical moment, Yang Ying, who was standing aside, realized what he was doing and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Chen Kan and continue the attack.
"Chen Kan, you are so brave. You dare to beat the court officials in front of His Majesty. Do you want to rebel?"
When Chen Kan heard the word "rebellion", his hands stopped.
Yang Ying thought that his words had an effect, and hurriedly said sharply: "If you don't stop now, do you want to die?"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Yang Ying and said with a smile: "Sorry, I forgot about you."
Just as he said that, he immediately raised his sword and stepped forward.
Before Yang Ying could feel proud for a moment, the expression on his face was instantly replaced by panic.
"Chen Kan, what do you want to do?"
Yang Ying was shocked and turned pale. He had no time to care about Chen Ying who was lying on the ground in pain. He turned around and ran towards the camp where the Metropolitan Procuratorate was located.
But he, a pampered censor, actually left his back to Chen Kan. Isn't this tempting people to commit crimes?
Of course, Chen Kan was not polite to him. He slapped the back of his head with a sword.
"Bang~"
There was a crisp impact sound and blood spattered. Yang Ying felt a pain in the back of his head, and fainted as his vision went dark.
The next moment, the Imperial Censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate finally came to his senses and sent some of his men to rush towards Chen Kan. The other group hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, the Marquis of Jinghai committed the murder in person. Please call on the Jinyi Guards to arrest the murderer." .”
After saying that, he turned to look at the civil and military ministers and shouted: "Comrades, please quickly take action to subdue this officer."
However, the censors have helpers, and so does Chen Kan.
I saw Zhu Gaojiu and Zhu Gaosui, who were standing in front of the nobles watching the show, had unsheathed their ceremonial swords at some point. Zhu Gaosui had touched the door of the hall without knowing it, and stood in the hall with his head held high. door.
Zhu Di never spoke, but watched the farce in the hall with interest.
Likewise, no one in the palace made any move.
Big bosses like Jian Yi, Song Li, and Li Jinglong, who were completely unafraid of Chen Ying, watched everything with cold eyes.
It's messed up, everything is messed up.
Chen Kan and Zhu Gaoxu, with their swords combined, darted left and right among a group of imperial censors. For a moment, screams could be heard endlessly.
The censors suddenly realized that they had suffered the loss of not having weapons. Moreover, His Majesty and the officials stood idly by, which also gave them a bad feeling.
Many censors suddenly panicked and ran out of the hall without thinking.
But Zhu Gaosui has been waiting here for a long time, so how can he let these fish slip through the net?
Ru Yu stood among the crowd, her forehead was covered with cold sweat, and her fat legs could not stop trembling.
Fortunately, fortunately, Chen Kan didn't take action against him.
Otherwise, with his size, he would have to stand and get beaten.
"Stop fighting, please spare my life~"
In the past, the royal censors, who were so noble that they used their nostrils to look at people, were now panicking like bereft dogs and could only run away in all directions.
But no matter where they fled to, the people there would always subconsciously take a few steps back, exposing them to Chen Kan.
It was now that the censors finally saw clearly what their status was in the court.
That's normal.
After Chen Ying came to power, he aggressively eliminated dissidents. All the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were truly capable and capable of doing things impartially were squeezed out by him, and most of the rest were just flatterers.
Most of the officials looked down upon them, but due to Chen Ying's power in the court, they had no choice but to swallow their anger.
Now that someone finally took action to teach them a lesson, it would be considered kind of the officials not to add insult to injury, let alone help them.
After half the time of burning incense, there was finally no censor standing in the hall. They all fell to the ground holding their heads and howling miserably.
Chen Kan didn't hold back his hands at all, and specially looked at the painful places on his head, ribs, and forearms to greet him.
Anyway, as long as you don't kill anyone.
After dismissing all the censors and facing their resentful looks, Chen Kan threw away the sword in his hand out of breath, found an open space and sat down cross-legged, and began to breathe heavily.
"Phew, you are so exhausted, but you can really run!"
Chen Kan sighed with emotion, and immediately attracted a wave of resentful looks.
It's just that they were probably frightened by Chen Kan, so they didn't dare to continue to speak arrogantly. This bit of resentful look was just a drop of rain to Chen Kan, so he didn't care.
After taking a few deep breaths, Chen Kan stood up, cupped his hands towards Zhu Di and said, "Your Majesty, I have been rude today. Please forgive me."
Chen Kan's voice finally brought the thoughts of the civil and military officials in the court back to the main hall.
Everyone looked at Zhu Di with burning eyes, wanting to see how he would deal with Chen Kan, the perpetrator.
As for Zhu Gaoxu and Zhu Gaosui, they were ignored by everyone.
A moment later, Zhu Di's emotionless voice came out: "Chen Kan, why did you beat the court officials in court for no reason?"
Chen Kan shrugged and said in a relaxed tone: "It's nothing, just playing."
As soon as these words came out, black lines suddenly appeared on everyone's faces, even Zhu Di was no exception.
What a bastard to say, you are just playing around with a second-rank official in the court.
At this time, Chen Ying couldn't care less about the pain. She crawled to the dragon chair and knelt down with a resentful look on her face, crying loudly: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me."
"I just exposed Marquis Jinghai's plan to rebel, and he beat me so hard. Beating a court official in front of the court, what does it mean to rebel? Your Majesty, please tell me clearly."
Chen Ying was crying so much that her nose and eyes were filled with tears and mucus. Not to mention that Chen Kan looked disgusted, and even Zhu Di, who was sitting on the dragon chair, couldn't help but frown.
Noticing Zhu Di's frowning movement, Chen Kan's bastard words that he originally wanted to distinguish were suddenly stuck in his throat, and then an interesting expression appeared on his face.
Is Zhu Di ready to give up on Chen Ying?
Or do you plan to beat him again so that he can completely transform into a minion of the emperor?
No matter which situation it was, Chen Kan decided to wait and see.
The next second, Zhu Di spoke: "You said Chen Kan was treasonous and you want to confront him in court, so let's confront him."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ying's spiteful face suddenly showed a hint of joy, but he hid it very well.
He also didn't expect that a beating from Chen Kan would change Zhu Di's attitude.
This beating seems to be a good one.
Thinking of this, he immediately turned to look at Chen Kan again, his eyes full of resentment and hatred, as if to say: "Just wait, you won't be arrogant anymore."
He swore that when Chen Kan was executed by Ling Chi, he would eat his flesh and drink his blood, so as to relieve the hatred in his heart.
Zhu Di had no intention of paying attention to the little moves between Chen Kan and Chen Ying. He turned to look at Ru Yu and shouted: "Ru Aiqing, where are the account books of the Ordnance Supervisor?"
When Ru Yu heard Zhu Di calling her name, she hurriedly ran forward and cupped her hands and said, "Your Majesty, the account books of the Ordnance Supervisor are all kept in the Xuanwu Lake Library. If necessary, I will have someone pick them up right now."
Zhu Di nodded, looked around at the ministers and said, "Since we are at Xuanwu Lake, which of my beloveds would like to take a trip?"
As soon as Zhu Di finished speaking, Chen Ying stood up impatiently and said: "Your Majesty, since it is the Metropolitan Procuratorate led by me who is confronting Marquis Jinghai, it is better for me to go get it."
Hearing this, Chen Kan immediately sneered and said: "Who knows whether you will secretly change the account books on the way and frame me. After all, you can even do such a thing as disrespecting the superior."
As soon as these words came out, Chen Ying glared angrily: "Chen Kan, do you think everyone has as sinister a mind as you?"
"That's impossible to say!"
Chen Kan yawned and looked sideways at Chen Ying, his eyes filled with the words "I don't trust you."
Zhu Di pondered for a moment and said calmly: "Since you are all worried about each other tampering with the account books, then go directly to Xuanwu Lake to confront you!"
Chen Kan suddenly smiled and said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Although Chen Ying was reluctant, she couldn't refute Zhu Di's face and said coldly: "Your Majesty is wise."
Seeing that both parties involved agreed, Zhu Di did not delay any further and said calmly: "Give me the order and go to Xuanwu Lake."
After saying that, he got up from the dragon chair and went back to his bedroom to change into regular clothes.
Half an hour later, Zhu Di's Luan Jia was surrounded by a dense crowd of Jinyi captains, followed by civil and military officers from all dynasties, heading towards Xuanwu Lake in a mighty manner.
Xuanwu Lake is not only a royal garden, but also a place where the imperial court secretly stores old records and documents.
Naturally, something as important as the Ordnance Inspector's account book cannot be handed over to the Ministry of War for safekeeping. It can only be kept at Xuanwu Lake.
Zhu Di's car drove to Xuanwu Lake in a mighty manner. The palace people who stayed behind at Xuanwu Lake were shocked. You must know that Zhu Di was an extremely restrained emperor. On weekdays, not to mention going out to enjoy the garden, even the meals were very simple. Afraid of wasting people's fat and oil.
Now I suddenly arrived at Xuanwu Lake, and no dog would believe it if nothing major happened.
"Long live my emperor! Long live!"
The palace people bowed to Zhu Di cautiously.
Zhu Di waved his hand and said calmly: "Without courtesy, open the archives and find the annual account books of the Ordnance Supervision."
