After one stick of incense, the entire Li family's ancestral hall turned into ruins.
After leaving the door, he looked around at the frightened eyes hiding behind various bunkers, and said calmly: "After repairing it, remember to send someone to tell me, and I will smash it again."
After leaving an extremely arrogant sentence, Chen Kan left with his men.
But just as he was halfway there, he was blocked by a Huang Mengman and several guards in royal robes.
"Long live the Lord orally, summon Jinghaihou Chen Kan to enter the palace immediately without delay."
After hearing Zhu Di's oral instructions conveyed by Huang Menlang, Chen Kan's face was very calm.
But Fang Zhongyu, who was following him, didn't look so good.
He said with some worry: "Yuan Sheng..."
"Second brother, just go back to your house and keep vigil for your master's wife. I'll be right back."
Chen Kan interrupted what Fang Zhongyu was about to blurt out and gave him a reassuring look.
Fang Zhongyue hesitated to speak, but the current situation was beyond his expectation, so he could only sigh secretly and close his mouth.
Chen Kan divided his personal guards into two groups. One group escorted Fang Zhongyu back to Fang Mansion, while he took Xie Zhong to go to the palace to meet Zhu Di, who was trying to get away with it.
He wanted to see how thick-skinned Zhu Di was. How could he be so shameless?
"Please, little father-in-law, please lead the way."
Watching Fang Zhong walk further and further away, Chen Kan raised his hand towards the little eunuch who was delivering the order.
The little eunuch looked a little hesitant. He pointed to Chen Kan's mourning clothes and asked eagerly: "Does the Marquis intend to wear this to meet the Long Live Lord?"
Chen Kan replied calmly: "Why not?"
Hearing Chen Kan's firm rhetorical question, the young eunuch couldn't say anything more. He just cursed his companions in his heart. Why did he have to leave the hard work of delivering orders to him?
Chen Kan was not in the mood to care what a eunuch thought. He just wanted to enter the palace as soon as possible and ask Zhu Di what he meant.
If you feel that Fang Xiaoru is old, you can allow him to serve as an official and return to his hometown. Why bother to humiliate him again and again?
The young eunuch led the way, and Chen Kan followed behind with his bodyguards and horses.
All the way to the Hongwu Gate, Chen Kan ordered Xie Zhong and others to wait outside, got off his horse and went straight into the imperial city.
In front of the Toyota Hall, Song Xin had been waiting here for a long time. He was a little surprised when he saw Chen Kan entering the palace dressed in mourning clothes.
"Master Hou, what are you doing?"
"Why, haven't you seen a dutiful son?"
When Chen Kan opened his mouth, it was as if he had eaten gunpowder. Song Xin blinked his eyes and suddenly exclaimed: "Master Hou, our family has not offended you."
Chen Kan rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to him.
Song Xin didn't offend him, but his master's actions made Chen Kan very unhappy.
If you can’t scold the master, why can’t you scold the dog?
Seeing Chen Kan's nonchalant look, Song Xin couldn't keep asking for trouble and said seriously: "Master Hou, Long Live Lord is waiting for you in the main hall. Come in quickly. Don't keep Long Live Lord waiting. .”
Chen Kan followed the corridor and entered the main hall.
Not to mention, the hall was quite lively.
Zhu Di sat in the main seat, with Monk Dao Yan and Zhu Gaochi kneeling on either side of Zhu Di like two guardians. There was also Li Jinglong kneeling on the ground with an unhappy look on his face.
Four people can just make up a table of mahjong.
Wait, the four of them gathered together for a mahjong table, what about Chen Kan?
Chen Kan's thoughts spread until Zhu Di's energetic voice came.
"Chen Kan, kneel down!"
Chen Kan was stunned for a moment, then tilted his head and asked, "Your Majesty, may I ask what mistake I made?"
Seeing that Chen Kan did not kneel down, Zhu Di was also stunned. After a moment, he couldn't help frowning and said: "What mistake did you make? Don't you know it?"
Chen Kan shook his head and replied: "I don't know."
"Be bold!"
Zhu Di was angry, slapped the table in front of him, and said angrily: "You have been ordered to inspect Yunnan, but now that Yunnan has not arrived, why do you return to Beijing without authorization?"
After hearing Zhu Di's question, Chen Kan replied: "Your Majesty, I returned to the capital without permission because my wife in the capital passed away and I came back to the capital to attend the funeral. We, the Ming Dynasty, rule the world with benevolence and filial piety, and I returned to the capital to attend the funeral to observe filial piety. I'm really not wrong. Where."
Zhu Di was stunned again, with a look of surprise on his face.
He didn't expect that Chen Kan would be so strong today.
This... doesn't seem to be Chen Kan's style.
If it were in the past, under his repeated questioning, according to Chen Kan's foxy temperament, he would have pushed back.
Today, it seems that I am a little out of control.
Zhu Di cursed in his heart, but still had an angry look on his face, and continued to question: "I also heard that you broke one of Duke Ding's arms today. What grudge do you have against Duke Ding? Why did you do such a heavy hand?"
Hearing Zhu Di's nonsense, Chen Kan's face instantly showed an angry look.
He suddenly raised his head and asked: "Your Majesty, I wonder if you, as a minor minister, have any grudge against Duke Dingguo?"
Seeing the angry look on Chen Kan's face, Zhu Di couldn't help but feel excited.
He suddenly discovered that Chen Kan today seemed not as easy to handle as before.
But the question has already been asked. As an emperor, he naturally cannot slap himself in the face. He can only follow the original line of thinking and say: "I don't know. If you can't tell me something today, don't blame me for being unkind."
After Zhu Di finished speaking, Li Jinglong, who was kneeling on the ground, could not help but feel a flash of joy in his eyes.
He had just received the news that Chen Kan had brought people to the palace, and was about to take people back to confront Chen Kan, when Zhu Di called him into the palace and gave him a scolding.
He still doesn't know how much damage the mansion suffered.
Even he didn't expect that Chen Kan's head would become so hard today.
But now there is only one thought in his mind, that is, Chen Kan must continue to have sex with His Majesty, and it is best to anger Your Majesty. If Your Majesty can kill Chen Kan directly, then everyone will be happy.
Although he knew in his heart that Zhu Di would never kill Chen Kan, who didn't have a dream in his heart? What if?
On the other hand, Chen Kan couldn't help but become even more angry after hearing Zhu Di say that he didn't know what Xu Jingchang had done.
Zhu Di was treating him like a fool.
He didn't know what Xu Jingchang did, but he knew that he broke one of Xu Jingchang's arms. Wasn't this treating him like a fool?
Chen Kan was angry. At this moment, he was even more angry than when he learned that Xu Jingchang had uncovered the Shi Niang Xiang case.
"Your Majesty, I have heard of the Three Cardinal Guidelines and the Five Constant Rules. The sage said: The king is the guideline for the ministers, the country is the guideline for the people, and the father is the guideline for the son."
As soon as Chen Kan spoke, Zhu Di suddenly felt something bad in his heart.
He hurriedly stopped him and said, "Chen Kan, shut up!"
There was a hint of ridicule in Chen Kan's mouth, and he continued: "But I heard that the sage said: The king is the guide for the ministers, and if the emperor is not upright, the ministers will surrender to other countries. The country is the guide for the people, and if the country is not upright, the people will attack it. My father is "Zi Gang, if the father is not kind, the son will run after him."
"Shut up!"
Zhu Di was so anxious that he stood up from his seat.
Chen Kan not only did not shut up, but continued: "Now, your majesty did not hear about the incense table before Ding Guo Gong lifted the coffin of my wife, but your majesty did not forget to hold accountable the Duke Ding Guo's arm when I broke it. The right way is like thunder and rain. This is all due to the kindness of the king. I dare not say that the king is unfair, nor do I dare to seek employment elsewhere. I only hope that your majesty will allow me to serve and let me return home."
After saying that, Chen Kan knelt down and moved in front of Zhu Di. He took out two tiger charms from his arms and placed them respectfully on the steps below the dragon chair.
Zhu Di's eyes widened with disbelief on his face.
"Chen Kan, what do you want to do?"
"I have insufficient abilities, low prestige, and low moral standards. Starting today, I voluntarily resign from my position as the commanding Tongzhiwei in Beijing, the commander-in-chief of the three naval guards, and the Zhanshifu of the East Palace."
"Are you threatening me with resignation?"
Zhu Di felt a little crazy.
He didn't expect Chen Kan to be so tough and tough today.
In his expectation, today's matter could be solved with just a few beatings, a stick and a sweet date. How could it develop to this point?
The development of things was completely beyond his expectation.
He really didn't like the feeling of being out of control.
Chen Kan resigned suddenly. Not to mention Zhu Di was shocked, Zhu Gaochi on the side was also full of disbelief.
Only Monk Daoyan, who had been expressionless from the beginning, remained emotionless, as if he had expected this scene.
Li Jinglong was ecstatic.
Chen Kan is not resigning, he is clearly seeking death.
The total number of the two armies in Chen Kan's hands was more than 20,000, and they were all the best among the best.
With these two armies, Chen Kan could raise an army of more than 200,000 in an instant if he was willing.
Today he actually lost his mind and wanted to return all military power to the court.
Without the military power at his side, could Chen Kan still be so arrogant?
Without the military power at his side, would there still be so many people afraid of Chen Kan?
Sure enough, some people seek death on their own, and no one can stop them.
Not to mention how excited Li Jinglong was, he wished he could immediately agree to Chen Kan's request for Zhu Di's resignation, and then take the military power into his own hands.
Just kidding, even though he was prosperous in the Yongle Dynasty, Zhu Di never let him touch things like military power, guarding him like guarding against thieves.
Now that Chen Kan has handed back his military power, if he doesn't seek some gain, he will be sorry for the injustice he suffered today.
On the other hand, Zhu Di's face suddenly became gloomy.
"Chen Kan, are you threatening me?"
Facing Zhu Di's shit-eating expression, Chen Kan smiled and replied: "I don't dare. I have just made it clear that I have no prestige, no ability, and no morality. I really don't dare to assume the important position, so why not?" Your Majesty, please allow me to serve."
"Chen Kan, please stop talking."
Zhu Gaochi spoke anxiously to stop him, and Chen Kan gave him a smile.
Then he cupped his hands towards Zhu Di again and said, "Your Majesty, please allow me to serve."
Zhu Di's face was livid. Seeing Chen Kan's indifferent expression, he waved his sleeves angrily and said, "No!"
Hearing Zhu Di's refusal, Zhu Gaochi breathed a sigh of relief.
On the contrary, Li Jinglong couldn't help but his face darkened.
Only Daoyan remained expressionless.
Chen Kan was not surprised. He just looked at Zhu Di with a mocking look and continued: "Your Majesty, please allow me to serve."
