In the Golden Palace.
Tian Zi was filled with killing intent.
Although he was a young man, the aura he gave off made all the officials tremble in fear.
"Where are the Embroidered Uniform Guards?"
Deng, deng, deng ~
The Embroidered Uniform Guards charged into the Golden Palace.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Embroidered Spring Saber was unsheathed and pointed at the imperial censors and censors kneeling in the hall.
Zhu Yijun sat down on the dragon throne and looked at the ministers present.
"Take them down and lock them in the imperial prison for strict interrogation!”
"Yes."
Just as the Brocade Guard was about to arrest him, the censors and censors said in a panic,"Your Majesty, we are innocent, we are innocent!”
"We are all speaking of justice for the sake of the country!”
At this moment, there were more than ten ministers kneeling in the Golden Palace Hall. They were crying and explaining, like street vendors in a busy market.
"Your Majesty, I have something to say, but I don't know if I should say it.”
The chief assistant of the cabinet, Gao Gong, hurriedly walked out of the court and cupped his hands."Your Majesty, since ancient times, censors have not been killed easily. Otherwise, they will only attract the criticism of the world and ruin Your Majesty's reputation.”
"Moreover, there is no substantial evidence to point out that you are corrupt and cover up for corrupt officials.”
"I…"
"Gao Gong, are you old and muddle-headed?”
Tian Zi's angry scolding suddenly interrupted the chief assistant's speech.
Zhu Yijun glanced coldly at the imperial censors and censors kneeling in the hall and said solemnly,""Just because you said that since ancient times, officials should not be killed easily, it became their token and amulet!”
"Because of this, those who are dedicated to the country will be impeached by them!”
"Those who have the heart of the common people are seen as aliens by them!”
"Do you really think I won't kill you?"
"Didn't you all boast that you were as clean as water and as incorruptible as a mirror?”
"Good! Then I want to see how clean you are!”
The more Zhu Yijun spoke, the angrier he became, and the anger in his heart was about to erupt!
"Pass it to Cao Zhengchun!"
Hearing this, the eunuch stepped forward and said,"His Majesty has decreed that Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Chamber, be summoned to the palace!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun, the supervisor of the East Hall, walked up to the Golden Hall and bowed."Greetings, Your Majesty."
"Cao Zhengchun, read it out in front of all the officials and see how they will serve the court and the people!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Cao Zhengchun cupped his hands and took out the account book, reading it in the palace.
"On the night of the seventh day, a woodcutter passed by the back door of Imperial Censor Wang's mansion and left behind a bundle of firewood.”
"There's a wooden box inside that contains fifty thousand silver.”
" Three days ago, Inspector Zhang went out to West Street to buy an antique. It contained 70,000 taels of silver…"
“……”
Every time Cao Zhengchun called out the names of the officials, their faces turned paler.
His exhausted body was drenched in sweat as he slumped to the ground like a pile of mud.
On the Dragon Platform, Zhu Yijun glared at the palace officials with murderous intent.
Without waiting for Zhu Yijun to speak, these ministers could not hold it in any longer.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we were only blinded by greed for a moment, that's why we did such a foolish thing!”
"We implore Your Majesty to give us another chance.”
With that, the censors slammed heavily into the ground until dark red blood was exposed.
"Men, drag him down and beat him to death outside the palace!”
"Yes, sir."
"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"
Terrified shouts resounded throughout the Golden Palace Hall. None of the other officials standing in the court dared to come forward to persuade them.
From time to time, heart-wrenching screams could be heard from outside the palace.
With every scream, the ministers felt their hearts clench.
"Look! Let me take a good look."
"This is my good subject!"
"The Great Ming's national treasury only has a million taels of silver, but these corrupt officials 'homes have already plundered nearly two million taels of silver!”
"The number is so huge that it's shocking!”
"Gao Gong, Zhang Juzheng!"
The emperor's voice suddenly rang out. The chief assistant and the second assistant of the cabinet walked out of the court in a panic and replied in fear,""Your subject is here."
"I order the two of you to thoroughly investigate the corrupt officials in the world and give you the right to act first before reporting!”
"However, if I find out that the two of you dare to protect them, I will not show mercy even if you are the chief and second assistant of the cabinet!”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
……
The news of the trial of corrupt officials by the Emperor's Hall spread like a storm throughout the capital.
Even the corpses of the censors and censors who were beaten to death were escorted to the downtown area to be cursed by the people.
The momentum of cleaning up corrupt officials was like a flood and a ferocious beast.
The world's hundred letters applauded.
Divine Constabulary.
Life Chaser, who was sitting on the side, said slowly,"Your Majesty is still too young."
"Corrupted officials must be eliminated, but with such a thunderous momentum, it will definitely cause turmoil in the court.”
Ironhand walked forward with a smile and said,""This little Emperor really has a temper for me!”
"You have guts, you dare to do it!"
On the throne, Divine Marquis Zhuge's expression suddenly became much more serious.
"Iron Hand, Chasing Life, everything about the Emperor is not something you and I can casually discuss!”
"If you make the emperor unhappy, even if you are from the Divine Constabulary, you will not be able to save your lives.”
"Lord Marquis, it can't be…"
Iron Hand said with a silly smile, but what he received was a stern admonishment from Divine Marquis Zhuge.
"Do I look like I'm joking with you?”
Divine Marquis Zhuge stood with his hands behind his back.
"Feng Bao, what kind of powerful person is he?”
"Didn't you also end up dead?”
"The two empress dowager have been in charge of the court and the harem for many years, but the emperor is personally in court.”
"If in the future, you guys continue to speak without restraint.”
"Don't blame me for being merciless."
Divine Marquis Zhuge's words made Zhui Ming and Tie Shou not dare to casually talk about this matter.
"Today, I asked you to come here because I need you to assist the Chief and Second Chiefs in investigating the corrupt officials.”
Hearing this, Zhui Ming and Tie Shou looked at Divine Marquis Zhuge in surprise, not understanding the meaning behind it.
Divine Marquis Zhuge narrowed his eyes and said with a deep expression,""Although the emperor is young, he has already become powerful. There are many forces in the world. If you want to stand out from them, you have to borrow the power of the emperor!”
"However, you must also understand that no matter how much you grow in the future, even if you have monstrous power, this world will still belong to the Zhu Clan!”
"In the end, you are the emperor's subjects!”
"What the emperor gave you can also take back everything!”
Life Chaser and Iron Hand's bodies shook, and they nodded their heads, seemingly understanding something.
"In that case, go!"
"Yes, sir."
