Zhu Houyan was unwilling to waste his breath on these civil officials. There was no point in talking more, so he only talked about evidence.
"Yu Huatian, where are the eunuchs and Yan Party?”
Zhu Houjin asked coldly.
"Your Majesty, last night, we arrested a total of 132 eunuchs and executed 46 of them.”
"A total of 194 people were arrested and 27 were executed.”
"All personnel are currently at the east side door to listen to the decree.”
Yu Huatian replied to Zhu Houjin's words in detail, not daring to be careless.
"Very good, all of you press forward!"
A cruel smile appeared on Zhu Houjin's face.
"This subject obeys the decree!"
Yu Huatian stood up and left. In a short while, the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the barbarians of the East and West Factories had brought more than three hundred people to the Gate of Supreme Harmony.
These people had chains on their heads and legs. Their hair was disheveled and their expressions were miserable.
The two people leading them were Wei Bin, the former Seal Eunuch of the Bureau of Rites, and Gu Dayong, the Head Eunuch of the Imperial Horse Bureau.
These two were the two eunuchs with the highest official positions and were also the two most corrupt eunuchs. Moreover, they were also one of the eight tigers of the previous dynasty, leaving endless troubles behind!
The ceremonial supervisor and the imperial horse supervisor were both one of the twelve supervisors in the inner palace. However, these two supervisors were much more important than the other ten supervisors combined.
Because these two supervisors were supervisors with real power!
The Secretary of Rites approved the cabinet votes on behalf of the emperor and handled confidential matters with the cabinet. He was actually the "internal minister".
The Imperial Horse Supervisor, together with the Ministry of War and the Governor, held military power. It was actually the "Hufu" of the inner court.
In addition, the Imperial Horse Supervisor also had to manage the pastures, the imperial manor, the imperial shop, and the finances of the Ministry of Revenue.
Absolute power brought absolute corruption, so the amount of silver that these two people embezzled was simply appalling!
More than half of the 30 million taels of dirty silver that had been confiscated came from these two people's residences!
"Wei Bin, Gu Dayong, you know your sins!”
Zhu Houjin looked at the two of them with a gloomy face, his entire body filled with killing intent!
When Wei Bin saw Zhu Houjie, he quickly knelt on the ground and cried,""Your Majesty, this old servant was just muddle-headed for a moment!”
"I beg the emperor to have mercy and let this servant off!”
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Gu Dayong's face was pale, but he didn't beg for mercy.
When he saw the execution ground set up outside the Noon Gate, he knew that the Emperor's killing intent had already been determined. Today, he was probably going to die!
Outside the gate of Supreme Harmony, besides Wei Bin's pleas, the other members of the Yan Party and the eunuch party also kowtowed and begged for mercy, begging the Emperor to spare their lives.
Zhu Houjin ignored their pleas and said to the officials who were still kneeling on the ground.
"My dear ministers, I have prepared a program for you today. Stand up and watch the execution ground for me!”
"Execution!"
Zhu Houjin roared, causing all the officials to tremble.
At this moment, they absolutely did not dare to disobey Emperor Zhu's orders.
The officials rose to their feet one after another. With expressions of respect and fear, they turned to look at the execution ground behind them.
The executioners who had been standing by the execution ground before walked up to the execution ground one after another. They held butcher knives in their hands and chopped down on the head of Wei Bin, who was still struggling.
"Ah!"
Screams rang out, and fresh blood splattered on the execution ground.
The civil and military officials who were watching the execution couldn't help but tremble, as if they were the ones being beheaded.
Wei Bin was just the beginning. Soon, Gu Dayong was beheaded as well.
Then came the third and fourth…
With every death, there would be more blood on the execution ground, and the faces of the civil and military officials would become paler.
Fortunately, there were enough executioners this time. Otherwise, these 300 people really wouldn't have been able to kill their way through.
When the three hundred heads were separated from their bodies, the civil and military officials only felt a deep sense of fear and endless coldness when they faced Zhu Houyi.
Tyrant!
This young emperor was a blatant tyrant!
At this moment, Zhu Houjiu was sitting on the dragon throne expressionlessly. He could see fear on the faces of all the officials.
Very good, this was the kind of emotion he wanted.
Only by fearing the imperial power and Zhu Houjin could he better control these officials.
Zhu Houyi did not want a civil servant group that could restrain him. He only wanted a marionette that listened to his orders!
The saying that a Martial Arts Grandmaster died in the hands of a civil servant was not groundless!
" Call Hai Rui for an audience!"
Zhu Houzhi shouted loudly. A young official dressed in the lowest official uniform walked to the gate of Tai He.
He completely ignored the execution ground behind him and knelt down in front of Zhu Houcong.
"Hai Rui greets Your Majesty!"
" Hai Rui, listen up!"
"I, Hai Rui, respectfully heed the imperial edict!"
"Zhen will promote you to the Imperial Censor of the Right Qian Capital, responsible for investigating the corrupt officials in the court. If anyone dares to stop you, Zhen will allow you to kill first and report later!”
"I, Hai Rui, accept the decree. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty!”
Hai Rui stood up, loyalty written all over his face!
At this time, Zhu Houxin casually took out a jade pendant from his waist and threw it to Hai Rui.
"Seeing this jade pendant, it's as if I'm here!"
When the officials in the court heard this, they all revealed surprised expressions and stared at this young official in surprise.
Who was this person?
Why did His Majesty trust him so much?
Hai Rui was so excited that his body was trembling. He quickly knelt down and shouted," I, Hai Rui, thank you for your grace!”
