With the memories of his predecessor, Zhu Qizhen recognized the person who spoke at a glance. It was the Censor Zhang Hong.
Zhu Qizhen glanced at Zhang Hong and asked casually,""Minister Zhang, what's the matter?"
Zhang Hong said," Your Majesty, our Ming Dynasty is a superior country of the Celestial Empire. We pay attention to etiquette and benevolence. Previously, General Meng Tian ordered the army to refuse to surrender to the Wala soldiers and to kill them all. This is against benevolence." Emperor, please punish him!"
"In addition, Eunuch Zhao Gao is rampant and domineering. If he doesn't control the officials of the Imperial Court as soon as possible, I'm afraid he will become a second Wang Zhen.”
When Zhu Qizhen heard this, he immediately frowned and said in a cold voice,"Benevolence? The benevolence and righteousness you speak of is to indulge your enemies and punish your own people?”
"When we entered the city, everyone saw how badly Huailai City was destroyed by the Wala people. What kind of cruel bullying had the people in the city suffered? You are telling me now that you want to talk about benevolence and righteousness to these wolves?”
"Why don't you tell the Wala people to be benevolent and not to harm the people of Ming Dynasty? Why don't you go and talk about benevolence and righteousness with the thousands of soldiers who died in my Ming Dynasty?”
"If General Meng Tian had not led the army to rescue us in time, I and all of you would have died under the scimitars of the Wala people! Now that you have been rescued by General Meng Tian and his men, you have to forgive the Wala people and punish General Meng Tian. Is this your benevolence?"
At this point, Zhu Qizhen's aura suddenly soared. His eyes were filled with coldness as he glared at Zhang Hong and the other ministers present.
He could feel the violent aura on Zhu Qizhen's body and the coldness in his eyes.
The expressions of all the ministers present changed drastically as they felt a terrifying pressure pressing down on them!
Zhang Hong, who was the first to bear the brunt, was directly pressed down by Zhu Qizhen's aura until he knelt on the ground with a plop.
At this moment, Zhang Hong was sweating profusely. His clothes were already soaked in cold sweat.
"The battle hasn't even ended, and you're already attacking the general who led the troops to rescue us! Everyone, tell me, is this the so-called benevolence and righteousness?”
After forcing Zhang Hong to his knees, Zhu Qizhen did not stop. His cold gaze swept across every minister present as he questioned.
"We know our sins, please calm your anger, Emperor!”
Seeing Zhu Qizhen's anger, all the ministers present knelt on the ground at the same time and bowed to Zhu Qizhen respectfully.
"Humph! When it came to benevolence and righteousness, one had to distinguish the target! When friends came, there would be good wine, and when wolves came, there would be swords and spears! I hope you will remember this!”
Zhu Qizhen snorted coldly again when he saw everyone kneeling and admitting their crimes.
"We will remember Your Majesty's teachings!"
Upon hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the ministers hurriedly agreed respectfully.
At the same time, they kept thinking about Zhu Qizhen's words. The more they thought about it, the more they felt that it made sense.
Especially Zhang Fu and the other generals, they agreed with Zhu Qizhen's words.
"Get up!"
Seeing that it was almost time, Zhu Qizhen waved his hand and said indifferently,
Since Zhu Qizhen had transmigrated to the entire comprehensive martial arts world, and had even become the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, he naturally had to make great achievements.
During this process, there would definitely be more than one massacre of foreign enemies like today.
Thus, Zhu Qizhen had to suppress the censors who were invited to impeach the generals.
Otherwise, there would always be someone dragging her down in the future.
"Thank you, Emperor!"
Upon hearing Zhu Qizhen's words, the ministers hurriedly thanked him respectfully before standing up to the side.
After the ministers stood up, Zhu Qizhen continued,""It's not impossible for the censor to report, but you have to know what to say. If I punish General Meng Tian because of Zhang Hong's words, and the Wala army attacks again, who will go and face the enemy? Wouldn't this be self-destructive and make the enemy happy?”
"Your Majesty is wise!"
Hearing this, everyone greeted respectfully again.
Zhang Hong's lips quivered, but he eventually shut his mouth.
Seeing this, Zhu Qizhen nodded in satisfaction and said,"Regarding the second matter that Minister Zhang has reported, Zhen will come with everyone to see what exactly is going on. Fan Zhong, personally summon Zhao Gao to see you!”
"I will obey!"
When Fan Zhong heard this, he bowed to Zhu Qizhen and cupped his fists. He spoke respectfully and slowly withdrew from the main hall of the City Lord Manor.
From this morning onwards, Fan Zhong witnessed Zhu Qizhen's series of actions, and his admiration for Zhu Qizhen grew.
Zhu Qizhen's protection of Meng Tian had touched Fan Zhong.
As a general, Fan Zhong naturally stood on Meng Tian's side.
Furthermore, Fan Zhong was also furious with the Wala soldiers. He and his subordinates had just killed many Wala soldiers.
If he punished Meng Tian, he would probably be punished as well.
While thinking, Fan Zhong quickly left the hall to look for Zhao Gao.
In the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion, Zhu Qizhen looked at everyone and calmly said,"Everyone, find a seat and sit down. After running around for so long, we can finally have a little peace today.”
"Many thanks, Your Majesty!"
When everyone heard this, they bowed and thanked Zhu Qizhen.
Then, they found a seat and sat in the hall with Zhu Qizhen, waiting for Zhao Gao's arrival...
