A courtesan!
He only sold his skills, not his body!
But it also depended on who it was!
The Grand Scholar of the Profound Language Pavilion was in charge of the education of the country. There were very few women in the world who could not be moved!
But at this moment, Zhu Guozuo found it even more difficult to tolerate himself!
He held the country's enlightenment and set an example for the scholars.
Zhu Guozuo really set a good example!
"Your Majesty, I, I, I…"
Zhu Guozuo stood in the hall and felt countless gazes that seemed to be smiling but not smiling. He was unable to control himself!
The humiliation of the pavilion elder!
The shame of the country!
A country's enlightenment depends on the wrong person!
"Liu Qiao, send someone to bring the prostitute named Zi Qing from Phoenix Perch Pavilion!”
Zhu Youxiao did not look at the pale face of the minister who assisted the country. He looked at the commander of the Brocade Guards and gave the order!
" Your Majesty, Phoenix Perch Pavilion was created by the heads of the East Chamber. I…" Liu Qiao pretended to hesitate.
As the saying goes, hit a dog when it's down!
As the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Liu Qiao had deeply implemented this point!
He seemed to see the East Chamber, which had stood on top of the Brocade Guard for many years, collapsing!
"I have one more thing to say!"
Receiving Liu Qiao's hint, the Left Imperial Censor Qi Shijiao stepped forward again.""The four major brothels in the capital were all created by the East Chamber. They used the country's most important weapon to do the things of the old brothel madam and the old duck.”
"We agree!"
Receiving the lord's gaze, the new imperial censors of the Inspectorate jumped out one after another!
"The East Chamber was founded by Emperor Taizu. Its purpose was to supervise the officials and investigate the people's situation. It was His Majesty's eyes and ears. However, Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian used public tools for personal use and were a disgrace to the country!”
" Your Majesty, the East Chamber is becoming more and more rampant. It is known as the " Factory Guard " in the outside world. Its act of arresting subjects without the approval of the three judicial departments has opened a gap for the eunuchs to interfere in politics!”
"Yes, I beg Your Majesty to take back the right of the East Chamber to arrest its subjects at will. If the eunuchs interfere in the government, the country will be ruined!”
……
In the imperial court, the crowd was furious and the voices of crusading against the East Chamber were endless!
From experience, all the officials present knew that the Brocade Guards were more vicious than the East Chamber. However, from a practical point of view, the East Chamber had been very powerful in recent years. All the dirty and evil things had been taken over by the East Chamber, which was why the officials were so excited!
After all, the viciousness of the Embroidered Uniform Guards was only spread by word of mouth. Those who were not old officials would not know the viciousness of the Embroidered Uniform Guards!
Although the Embroidered Uniform Guards had shown their fangs again in recent months, they were still far from the methods of framing and implicating nine families at their peak!
"The imperial decree is to thoroughly investigate the four major brothels in the capital. All the heads of the East Chamber and the officials involved will be thrown into prison!”
Zhu Youxiao took a deep look at Liu Qiao and paused."The Embroidered Uniform Guards will take full responsibility!"
"This lowly subject obeys the decree!"
Liu Qiao was overjoyed. He bowed and accepted the order. Tears welled up in the corners of his eyes!
He had been waiting for this moment for far too long!
The Jinyiwei had waited too long!
Ten years of revenge was finally avenged!
"Let's investigate Phoenix Perch Restaurant first! We and the officials will wait here!"
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
Liu Qiao's scarlet cloak fluttered in the wind. His gaze swept across every official before he left the Imperial Palace!
In a trance, the officials had a feeling!
He chased away the hungry wolf that ate meat, but released a ferocious tiger that ate people!
This feeling, the Qi Poetry School was the clearest!
When Liu Qiao passed by him, he let out a low and sinister laugh, making him shudder!
This Liu Qiao seemed to be hostile towards him!
Qi Shi Jiao was frowning!
The officials were also frowning!
Only the trembling Zhu Guozuo revealed a cold smile as if he was about to take revenge!
Jinyiwei!
He would never let anyone off!
During the reign of Emperor Taizu, there were very few corrupt officials in the capital because none of them dared to be greedy!
He didn't dare to be greedy in front of the Jinyiwei!
With the help of groundless accusations, tens of thousands of people were implicated in a "literary prison"!
Gradually, Grand Elder Zhu calmed down!
A prostitute?
Dismissal from office!
As long as he didn't die, there was a chance for him to make a comeback!
However, who knew how many people in the imperial court would be able to survive!
As time passed, the Imperial Palace became quieter. Finally, Grand Secretary Zhu said,"
"I, Zhu Guozuo, accept my punishment!"
Grand Secretary Zhu took off his official hat, knelt on the ground, and sighed,""A single mistake will cause eternal regret. This subject is greedy for pleasure and indulged in prostitutes in Phoenix Perch Pavilion. I admit that my sins are grave and unforgivable. I hope Your Majesty will remember this subject's hard work and beg for retirement!”
Boom!
A bolt from the blue!
Countless officials of the Zhe Party trembled, their eyes filled with disbelief!
The reason why they didn't speak up when the Qi Poetry School filed a complaint and only sneered at the side was because they believed in Zhu Guozuo, in this respected party leader.
Unfortunately, they were disappointed!
Before the Embroidered Uniform Guards returned, Zhu Guozuo was the first to confess. Everything was announced!
"Allow!"
Zhu Youxiao didn't say much and nodded in agreement!
"Thank you, Lord!"
Zhu Guozuo took off his scholar robe and removed the golden seal from his waist. He respectfully placed it on the ground and slowly left the Imperial Palace!
Decades of scheming and infighting had all gone down the drain!
Liu Qiao, who had rushed back, and the white-robed Zhu Guozuo exchanged a glance and passed each other in the midst of their mutual emotions!
Returning to the hall, Liu Qiao silently stood back in his original position!
There was no need to mention evidence!
"Your Majesty, I have one more thing to say!"
Left Imperial Censor Qi Shijiao spoke again!
The officials present rolled their eyes and cursed in their hearts."Inhuman!"
"Speak!"
"I, Qi Shi Jiao, hereby file a complaint against the cabinet's Grand Secretary, Han Fei. Ten years ago, when Han Fei was the Minister of Rites, the Ministry of Rites 'Examination Hall had a large-scale leak of the examination questions. Although it was corrected in time, in order to protect his reputation and official position, Han Fei let his disciple, the Imperial Academy's editor, Ning Jie, take the blame and die in vain!”
Whoosh!
Hanlin died in vain!
The imperial court was shocked!
After ten years of hiding, he had finally seen the light of day!
"Grand Scholar Han, is Ning Jie's death true?”
Zhu Youxiao's gaze fell on Han Xiong, his expression dark and uncertain!
Of the six cabinet elders, other than two who were patrolling outside, the other four had met with mishaps one after another. It was a misfortune for the country!
"It's true!"
Han Xiong walked out of the hall and bowed.""I have not forgotten what happened ten years ago. Ning Jie died in my place. Your Majesty, please give me poison wine. Your Majesty, please restore Ning Jie's reputation after my death!”
Ten years was neither far nor near!
With the means of the Brocade Guards, it was not difficult to dig up the files from that year. In the past, the Donglin Party members protected him with their lives. His disciples died in place of his crimes, so he was innocent!
Now that the Donglin Party was unable to take care of themselves, as a senior member of the Donglin Party, Han Xiong faced the reality calmly!
"Imperial decree, cabinet grand secretary Han Fei, neglecting his duty and disregarding human lives, is given a cup of poisoned wine, a whole corpse, and a posthumous title!”
"The Imperial Academy Editor Ning Jie died in place of his teacher. His heart is commendable, and his actions are worthy of punishment. The court bulletin is allowed to restore his reputation.”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
