The twelve tassels on Zhu Houzhao's head swayed like the hearts of the officials.
"Greed over a thousand taels!"
"Behead!"
"Over ten thousand taels!"
"Ling Chi!"
"As for buying an official position from Li Chengfan.”
"All the family property will be confiscated."
"As the national treasury."
"Everyone!"
"Kill all nine clans!"
Zhu Houzhao's words were like a dragon's roar. His face was still ashen, as if he was an angry Vajra!
As soon as he said this,
Everyone in the imperial court's expression changed. Their faces were pale and drained of blood!
This crime seemed a little heavy.
The ministers in the court were afraid that if they tried to persuade the Emperor at this time, they would anger Long Yan and implicate the innocent.
They stood rooted to the ground, not daring to speak.
Liu Jian looked at Zhu Houzhao, who was furious. He took a deep breath and walked out.
"Your Majesty, please calm down."
"Isn't this kind of serious crime a little too ruthless?”
"In my opinion."
"It's enough to send him to the border."
Zhu Houzhao glared at Liu Jian.
The Emperor knew that everyone in the court felt that this punishment was too harsh.
He was only afraid that the Emperor would implicate him in his rage, so he did not dare to say much.
As for Liu Jian, he only said what others didn't dare to say.
A loyal man speaks from the bottom of his heart.
Although Zhu Houzhao didn't agree with Liu Jian's opinion, he didn't vent his anger on the old man.
"Heavy?"
"Humph."
"Grand Secretary Liu and the ministers.”
"Please put yourself in my shoes.”
"Humble students."
"Ten years of hard work."
"I don't have enough clothes to cover my body and food to fill my stomach."
"I studied hard for ten years just to get my name on the Golden Roll!”
"Honor our ancestors!"
"But there are some rich kids.”
"I didn't learn countless things, I only knew how to drink and enjoy myself.”
"But he made a deal with some corrupt officials in the court.”
"You bought the opportunity that belonged to those poor students for a few thousand taels of silver.”
"Ten years."
"How many decades do people have in their lives?!!”
"A thousand taels of silver! I'll buy ten years of your time!"
"Are you all willing?"
Zhu Houzhao's words struck at Grand Secretary Liu's heart. Grand Secretary Liu stood rooted to the ground.
The Emperor's words were still echoing in his ears.
That's right.
A thousand taels of silver can buy ten years of time.
Who would be willing?
Could it be that he was blaming the poor for not being born into a rich family?
Could it be that the Humble Class disciples didn't use silver to open up the door?
They could only blame the corrupt officials in the court and the people who bought the official positions!
If he didn't kill them, corrupt officials would be everywhere!
If they didn't kill him, it would be equivalent to acquiescence!
If he didn't kill them, the hearts of the Humble Class disciples would turn cold!
Only by killing the corrupt officials in the court and buying the blood of those who ignored the laws of the court.
Only then could he wash away the hatred of the poor!
Zhu Houzhao's words were harsh. Pavilion Elder Liu Jian also silently retreated to the formation.
Liu Jian could not help but sigh in his heart.
He had lived for decades, but he did not see as far as the current Emperor, who was only fifteen years old.
He felt ashamed.
He felt ashamed.
At this moment, Liu Jian's gaze also became determined.
Only by making them afraid!
I don't dare!
Only then could this phenomenon be ended!
This would make the Humble Class disciples have full trust in the Imperial Court.
I am willing to serve the country and do my best for Great Ming!
The courtiers knelt on the ground.
This time.
It wasn't His Majesty who was shouting to calm down.
It was…
"Your Majesty is wise!"
As expected.
Tian Zi was furious! A million corpses!
It was definitely not just for show!
Zhu Houzhao sat on the dragon couch, his dragon eyes slightly opened as he looked down at the officials.
"Where is Cao Zhengchun?"
Cao Zhengchun was already shocked just now, and now that he was called, he was even more stunned.
He hurriedly stood up and replied.
"Your subject is here."
Zhu Houzhao looked at Cao Zhengchun with his dragon eyes and gently brushed away the tassels of the twelve streamers. His eyes revealed a deep meaning.
"Zhen orders you to immediately bring all the wealthy families who bought official positions to the capital.”
"And confiscate the family property."
"Also,"
"The beheading location will be in the bustling city of the capital.”
"Zhen wants the whole world to know!”
"Corrupted officials, buying and selling official positions."
"What kind of ending!"
"The person supervising the execution."
"Supervisor Cao will personally supervise the execution!"
After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Cao Zhengchun shivered and knelt on the ground.
"I am."
"Yes!"
Zhu Houzhao nodded his head in satisfaction and looked at the new Minister of Official Personnel Affairs, Wang Ao.
"The review of new officials must be rigorous."
"The sons of the Humble Class will be prioritized after being loyal.”
"Zhen wants a minister."
"Not a good-for-nothing who only knows how to enjoy himself!”
"Zhen would rather these positions remain empty."
"I don't want to see people who are just making up the numbers!”
"Do you understand?"
Wang Ao cupped his hands and bowed.
"I am."
"We will obey Your Majesty's orders."
"Investigate personally!"
Zhu Houzhao flicked his sleeves and swept his gaze across the officials.
"Retreat!"
"Farewell, Your Majesty!"
……
Cao Zhengchun was in the bustling city of the capital, and in front of him were groups of people who wanted to buy official positions.
They knelt on the guillotine in unison and wailed incessantly.
The surrounding people were originally watching the show, but when they found out that it was because these people were buying official positions, they were shocked.
They all broke through their defenses and hated the person on the guillotine.
No one knew better than the common people the meaning of the saying that it was difficult for a poor family to produce a noble son.
The executioner chopped for two hours!
Ghost Head Blade paused for a moment before ending the massacre!
Blood flowed all over the ground, like the place where Guisha Luoxiu was.
The commoners were grateful and cheered for His Majesty.
It could be seen that the people's hearts were on the line!
Although Cao Zhengchun was in charge of the execution, his mind wasn't on this.
He knew.
He had to choose between silver and gold!
[The fifth chapter has arrived!]
