Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the dragon throne, was still wiping the Tai'e sword. He didn't even raise his head.
"Summon him in."
"Yes."
The eunuch walked out of the Golden Palace with small steps.
Not long after, an exceptionally handsome man appeared in the Golden Phoenix Hall. His entire body reeked of blood as he dragged a person's arm into the hall.
Yu Huatian threw Dai Ying to the ground.
He bowed with both hands and knelt on one knee.
"I am."
"Yu Huatian."
"I'm here to report on my mission."
"This person is the son of the governor of Liaodong Prefecture, Zi Ying.”
"Personally escorting the escort team into the capital to give Liu Jin a gift of 5000 taels of silver!”
"The rest of the guards have been executed!"
"5000 taels of silver are being escorted by the scouts from the West Hall. In less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, they will be able to enter the capital.”
"This is the gift list I found in the agent's arms.”
"Your Majesty, please take a look!"
As Yu Huatian spoke, he handed over the gift list with both hands.
Eunuch Gao, who was standing beside the Emperor, slowly stepped down from the stage and presented the list of gifts to Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao didn't even turn his head and threw out a sentence.
"Read it out loud."
"Let Lord Liu hear it!"
Liu Jin, who was kneeling below, felt as if he had been struck by lightning and collapsed to the ground.
His usual henchmen did not even look at him, kneeling on the ground and trembling.
"Yes."
Eunuch Gao opened the list of gifts and began to read them out in front of the officials.
"Words are like faces."
"Lord Godfather."
"Please accept my bow."
"Father's birthday is coming soon."
"As the father and mother of Liaodong, I can't go personally to congratulate you.”
"Please forgive me, foster father."
"I specially sent my son to deliver 5000 taels of silver!”
"To express my feelings."
"Dai Quan."
Eunuch Gao finished reading and placed the list of gifts on the dragon table.
Then, he stood behind the Emperor.
"Yu Huatian."
"Not bad."
"Get up."
"Since you did well, zhen wants you to reward you!”
"I will give you a hundred taels of gold and a thousand bolts of Jiangnan brocade.”
"After you retire, go to the Internal Affairs Office to receive your reward.”
When Yu Huatian heard this, he hurriedly knelt down again.
"I am."
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
"Alright, get up."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Yu Huatian stood on the right side of the Golden Palace Hall, his heart filled with emotions.
He finally stood in the throne room with the officials.
This was what he had dreamed of.
And all of this was given to him by Tian Zi!
He secretly made up his mind to make the West Hall a terrifying organization!
To serve His Majesty!
……
Zhu Houzhao slowly stood up and picked up the gift list.
"This Dai Quan."
"You still know that you are the father and mother of the people of Liaodong.”
"Liaodong was filled with starving people, and they exchanged their children for food.”
"Did he remember that he was the father and mother of the people of Liaodong?”
Zhu Houzhao slammed the dragon table, and the golden thread Phoebe wood dragon table shattered.
When the officials saw this, they all knelt on the ground.
"Please calm down, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao looked at the substitute winner and sneered.
"If you tell me the truth, perhaps I can give you a quick death.”
Dai Ying's legs had been dragged by Yu Huatian for ten miles. Below the knees, they were already gone, and they were a bloody mess.
At this moment, he was crawling towards Liu Jin with both hands.
"God-grandfather, please save me."
"God-grandfather, please save me."
However, Liu Jin had long been scared out of his wits, so he did not care about the previous generation winning.
"How dare you!"
"How dare you not answer His Majesty's question?"
The two guards at the side lifted Dai Ying up, and the other guard slapped Dai Ying's face twice.
After another bucket of cold water was poured on him, Dai Ying finally regained his senses and spoke slowly.
"I'm here on my father's orders to give my god-grandfather a gift.”
"I don't know anything else.”
"Please spare me, Your Majesty."
Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly.
"Spare you?"
"Who spared the people of Liaodong who starved to death!”
"As the father and mother of Liaodong, you don't want to benefit the people and share their worries.”
"During a famine, you can even take out 5000 taels as a gift!”
"Not to save the victims from disaster!"
"Gift money? Don't have money for disaster relief?"
"Truly detestable!"
"If I don't kill you, I won't be able to resolve the hatred in my heart!”
"It's difficult to appease the anger of the people!"
"Pull him down."
"Behead him for public display!"
With Zhu Houzhao's order, the Brocade Guard outside the palace rushed in and dragged Dai Ying away.
This frightened the Eight Tigers Gang led by Liu Jin.
They all knelt and begged Zhu Houzhao for mercy.
Liu Jin also sobered up a lot.
As long as he insisted that he did not know that the Liaodong Prefect had given him the silver, he might still have a chance of survival.
After all, the money he had embezzled was very well hidden.
The bet was that the East Chamber wouldn't find out!
As long as he couldn't find it, he still had a chance!
He could only take a gamble.
"Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty, please be aware."
"Although the Liaodong Prefecture Yin Daiquan is the godson of this old official, he is still a young man.
"About the gift."
"I have no idea."
"Even if this old minister has great courage!”
"I wouldn't dare to lie to His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Liu Jin's head hit the stone brick heavily, causing his head to bleed.
The officials at the side knew that it had nothing to do with them and also watched the commotion.
The cabinet chief, Liu Jian, did not think so.
The emperor was a young ruler, yet his methods were so experienced and ruthless.
By doing this in the imperial court, he was clearly establishing his authority and letting the world know the Emperor's abilities and methods!
He was also beating the courtiers.
This was the outcome of being greedy for silver!
Only if the Eight Tiger Gang died miserably enough could the officials be intimidated.
At this moment, Liu Jian looked at the young emperor above him as if he had returned to the scene when he had just entered the official career.
He had the world in his heart and was determined to assist the emperor and achieve hegemony!
However, after the rebellion at Tumu Fortress, the country was unable to recover.
The former emperor's ambition failed and he died young.
The new king was young and thought that Ming would be even more miserable.
But now!
Although the Emperor was young, he was so skilled in government affairs.
His methods were swift and decisive, experienced and ruthless!
With such an emperor, why should the Ming Dynasty not be strong?
At the thought of this, tears welled up in her eyes and did not dissipate for a long time.
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at Liu Jin suspiciously.
"Oh?"
"You said you don't know?"
"Alright."
"Today, I will let you all die with an understanding!”
Liu Jin quivered and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, please investigate!"
Bang bang bang!
At this moment.
The eunuch outside the door walked in again.
"Your Majesty."
"Cao Zhengchun of the East Chamber requests an audience!"
