Chapter 64: Ming Canon Punishment

The next day, the grand court meeting.

In the Huangji Hall, the king and his ministers looked at each other. At the center of the power of the Ming Dynasty, the atmosphere was as cold as the wind and snow on the frontier, making people shudder.

Zhu Youxiao looked around the steps coldly and saw that half of the ministers came in wearing tattered patched court robes from many years ago, without saying a word.

Everyone below seemed to have a lot of thoughts in their hearts. After welcoming the emperor's cold gaze, almost all chose to lower their heads and avoid them.

Only the left censor of the Censorate, the left censor of the Censorate, raised his head and faced Zhu Youxiao's four eyes.

His face was filled with abnormal flush, as if he was filled with endless dissatisfaction with the emperor in front of him.

"Don't you always yell that I rarely look at the North Koreans?" Zhu Youxiao snorted coldly, "Why, I'm all mute today?"

"What did I tell you on the day of the prisoner ceremony?" Zhu Youxiao scolded with a stern voice:

"I said that if you only take some out of each of you, it will be enough for the military and civilians of Pidao to eat for half a year, or even longer."

"How did you guarantee me at that time? How much grain did you take out now?" Zhu Youxiao suddenly stood up, pointed at the person in front of him, and said:

“——Climb the dragon!”

"On weekdays, you have often told me about your name as a pure stream? Then I ask you, what explanation do you have for the rice and flour that the Jinyiwei accidentally found from your mansion?"

After saying that, a secret memorial submitted by Luo Yangxing, a household in the Jinyiwei, was thrown by Zhu Youxiao at Gao Panlong's feet.

Everyone knows that after the emperor finished speaking, he wanted his subordinates to go and have a good look.

"If you want to add a crime, you have no choice but to worry!" Gao Panlong stood up with his neck, still stubborn.

Then, he glanced at the secret song with contempt, and even sneered a few times, without any intention of getting it.

He had long seen those tricks of the emperor clearly.

"Okay, okay!" Zhu Youxiao laughed in anger, "You don't want to see it, then I will pick it up and read it for you!"

“…”

Not long after, Zhu Youxiao finished reading the last word, slapped the secret song on Gao Panlong's face and sneered:

"Gao Aiqing, I have to ask you a few more times before you can give me and the soldiers on the frontier a satisfactory reply?"

Hearing the soldiers on the frontier's side, he climbed up to the dragon's mouth and moved.

Next, his voice completely lost its energy and he argued strongly: "The country has been peaceful for a long time and all affairs have been relaxed. I dare not slacken for a day to make me worry about the nightmare..."

"The food at home is reserved for the people in the disaster area. I have a clear conscience!"

Zhu Youxiao heard this and sneered a few times: "According to my dear, if you continue to say that I will not be in charge of the court, ignore the government, and cause disasters for years and have been squandering millions of dollars?"

Gao Panlong was not at all panicked and bowed calmly: "I dare not!"

"You don't dare-?" Hearing this, Zhu Youxiao seemed to hear a huge joke and sneered:

"You all said that you didn't dare. What you thought in your heart, and what you actually did, weren't bold!"

At this time, Liu Zongzhou, the head of the Ministry of Justice, suddenly stood up and said loudly:

"Your Majesty wants to punish the crime of not offering food to the border army. If you want to offend your majesty, ask Your Majesty, the people in the disaster area are displaced, and where do you need these food more than the border army with millions of dollars a year?"

Before Zhu Youxiao could speak, another person stood up to defend Gao Panlong.

"Your Majesty did not ask the opinions of our ministers at the beginning. He sent Keshi out of the palace and bought a restaurant for this evil daughter. Do you also want to give an explanation to the civil and military officials in the court?"

After hearing this, Wei Zhongxian felt a little sad. He gave Keshi money to run a restaurant. Isn’t that his business?

These bitches are raised by the emperor, but they can even blame the emperor.

"Last year, Your Majesty tried to protect Xiong Tingbi from governing Liaodong. Now several months have passed, the city has not yet recovered, and Shenyang has been lost once!"

"If you lose the first time, there will be a second time!"

"I dare to ask Your Majesty, if Chen Yang loses again, what should Xiong Tingbi do to deal with it!"

The Donglin ministers who were speechless just now jumped out one by one, and enthusiastically asked for old stories, Keshi and Xiong Tingbi, all became their own brands to protect themselves.

When the ministers' voices were weaker, the censor Jiang Bingqian cleared his throat and went out to shout:

"After the Liao Zuo army was defeated, Rencheng will be reborn, which is useless. The Liaodong General Xiong Tingbi lost his troops and humiliated the country. He should be punished according to the law! I beg your Majesty to preside over the overall situation and make the justice and punishment clear!"

As he finished speaking, half of the civil officials knelt on the ground and said in unison: "I beg your Majesty to preside over the overall situation and make the justice and punishment clear!"

"Xiong Tingbi, according to the law, should be punished!"

Wei Zhongxian, who had been watching the show next to him, found something was wrong and his expression changed.

The Donglin Party members probably already knew that the emperor was going to use Gao Panlong to start the attack this time, and tied up a rope. In an instant, they grasped the situation again in front of the furious emperor.

Zhu Youxiao looked at the ministers below, and after a moment, he smiled miserably.

The biggest sinner in the world seems to have been trying hard to maintain the Ming Dynasty, and all of them are heroes who have never been born in the world.

"I will personally blame Xiong Tingbi for losing the crime of Chen Yang. However, you, you have no choice but to impeach the throne of the king and take on the title of the country!"

Speaking of this, Zhu Youxiaofu sneered a few more times: "Jiang Bingqian, do you really think you don't know if you just keep your conspiracy with the public and private party?"

Wei Zhongxian was anxious. In his opinion, the emperor was obviously at a disadvantage in today's affairs.

Those Donglin party members protected each other, and the emperor refused to blame the public when he saw the law. This was to pick up the persimmons and pinch them first.

But can the Donglin Party agree?

Based on Wei Zhongxian's understanding of them, the emperor let go of Gao Canglong and wanted to take Jiang Bingqian down the stairs. Not only did they not agree, but they would also become more and more serious.

At that time, if the emperor insisted on his own, he would probably make a big mistake!

So the question is, should I bear the blame or not?

After almost a moment of hard work, he made up his mind and gave a wink to Grand Secretary Gu Bingqian.

The emperor once told him that "I am here", so today is the time for him to say to the emperor, "I am here!"

Just when the Donglin Party thought it was proud, Gu Bingqian stepped forward and bowed and said, "I impeach the censor Jiang Bingqian!"

At this time, the eyes of the court turned from the emperor to this side.

Let me listen to Gu Bingqian quietly saying: "Report to the Emperor, Jiang Bingqian, the Censor of the Censorate, is the student of Gao Panlong!"

Only this sentence revealed caused an uproar.

The disciples and seat-savior even caused half of the imperial court to agree. Not to mention whether the emperor was going to really ask for a crime, just this one thing was confirmed, Donglin formed a clique!

Everyone in private knows that the Donglin Party is really carried out to the public as a "cluster formation", but it is revealed by Gu Bingqian's words.

It can be imagined that Gu Bingqian confirmed that the faction of the Donglin scholar and officials forming party members would cause in the Daming and civil affairs circles.

And he himself will be hacked to the point where he is so-called "clear stream" in the world.

It is true that Gu Bingqian has his own selfishness this time, but in Zhu Youxiao's view, this is the minister he needs at this moment.

Wei Zhongxian stood quietly from beginning to end. Seeing that the Donglin Party members were advised, a big rock in his heart had already fallen to the ground.

Today, the emperor won.

The Huangji Palace was silent for a while, and Zhu Youxiao sneered a few times, then picked up a memorial from the Donglin Party, glanced at it, and threw it down the steps in disgust.

"I have always wanted to make decisions by myself, but whenever I have a sage, how come you have been pushing three obstacles and four times?"

Zhu Youxiao attacked the imperial case, stood up suddenly, glanced at the ministers, and shouted: "You are really my good Hanlin and good bachelor!"

After a few words, the Donglin Party members had nothing to say.

At this time, Gu Bingqian, who had been silent for a while, stepped forward again and advised: "Your Majesty, the law is not merciless. Jiang Bingqian and Gao Panlong should be punished for their crimes!"

After the words came to an end, Cui Chengxiu, the Minister of War, and other civil officials who were once called "eunuch party" came out one after another and said in unison:

"I would like to ask Your decree to kill Jiang Bingqian, Gao Panlong and others, and to make the sanctions sentence!"
