"Zhou Kui, do you have anything else to say?" Zhu Zhanji sighed.”
"Emperor, emperor, spare my life, spare my life!"
Zhu Youjian stared at Zhou Kui, who was crying non-stop on the ground. He wished he could chop off Zhou Kui's head and said word by word,"Zhen has taken good care of your Zhou family."
"The country is in danger, and the country is in danger. What did you tell me when the officials donated money? He said that you were poor all your life and that the Empress secretly gave you five thousand taels."
"What did you do? You actually went against your conscience and deducted half of the Empress's thrifty money. You donated two thousand taels out of five thousand taels!”
Whoosh!
The more Zhu Youjian spoke, the angrier he became. He pulled out the embroidered spring knife from Ji Gang's hand and looked at Zhou Kui with a crazed expression."You keep saying that you don't have any silver."
"You keep saying that everything is for Great Ming's world, everything is for the good of our family!”
Zhu Youjian came up and dragged Zhou Kui with one hand. He looked at the neatly arranged boxes in front of him and scolded,"Open your dog eyes and take a look. What is this? Where did all this silver come from?"
"You were born as a commoner, and I conferred you the title of Earl. In the end, this is how you repay me?”
"Even if I have a dog, I'm already familiar with it."
Zhou Kui looked at the crazy Zhu Youjian and hurriedly got up and kowtowed.
"Emperor, please spare my life. I was blinded by greed. Emperor, please spare my life!"
Zhu Youjian's face was ashen. He clenched his teeth tightly and his body could not help but tremble slightly."Traitor, traitor.”
Whoosh!
A cold light flashed, and a huge head rolled out.
Zhu Youjian's face was covered in blood. His expression was dull as he staggered out with his knife.
"Father!"
The Empress shouted and rushed forward.
Zhu Zhanji stood up, shook his head, turned around, and left. A person like Zhou Kui deserved to die. He had not seen many people who liked money like this. To be able to like it to this extent, he could be considered a talent.
"Your Highness, where are Zhou Kui's family?"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment and sighed with a complicated look in his eyes."Forget it."
"This subordinate will obey."
Zhu Zhanji had only taken a few steps when he saw the flustered Chen Nan.
"Your Highness, bad news, bad news!"
Zhu Zhanji was stunned.”
"Your Highness, the scholars have attacked the Imperial City!"
Zhu Zhanji was obviously stunned.”
"There are countless of them, roughly ten thousand people."
"Where's the Emperor?"
"The Emperor took General Fan Zhong out of the city early this morning to investigate the enemy. Lord Yang Shiqi has already gone. He asked me to ask Your Highness to make a decision!”
"Ji Gang!" Zhu Zhanji nodded.
"Your subordinate is here!"
"Transfer the Jinyiwei's Northern Garrison! Inform the Military Department of the five cities to mobilize 3,000 soldiers!”
Ji Gang hesitated for a moment." Your Highness, this is a scholar causing trouble. Isn't it inappropriate to send troops?"”
Zhu Zhanji's eyes flashed with a trace of coldness."Scholars at this time are all too full. It's time to teach them a good lesson."
Ji Gang was stunned for a moment and quickly lowered his head.”
"Chen Nan, prepare the horses!"
"Your Highness, please wait a moment. The Military Department of the Five Cities is still on the way. If anything happens, it will be difficult to deal with it!”
"Transfer the Breaking Ranks!"
"This subordinate will obey."
Zhu Zhanji mounted his horse and began to head toward the Imperial City. After walking for less than ten minutes, a group of very capable soldiers in black armor appeared behind him.
After the time for an incense stick to burn.
Zhu Zhanji looked at the dense crowd of scholars and frowned, Gao Shun!
"I'm here!"
"Clear the path!"
Gao Shun suddenly rode his horse forward and shouted,"Drum!”
Dong dong dong!
"Great Bright Emperor's grandson is here, make way!”
The soldiers behind him also began to roar in unison!
"Great Bright Emperor's grandson is here, make way!”
The scholars stared blankly at the soldiers in front of them and instinctively made way for them. Zhu Zhanji rode his horse and swept his gaze over them.
"Greetings, Emperor Xuan De!"
"Greetings, Emperor Xuan De!"
Every time Zhu Zhanji walked past a section, the people in front of him would kneel down and kowtow in tacit understanding!
Zhu Zhanji walked to the end and slowly walked up to the high platform. His eyes were calm as he said,"Get up!"
The scholars stood up in a dense mass.
The Brocade Guards also arrived and quickly stood guard in front of Zhu Zhanji. The soldiers of the Five Cities Military Department behind him quickly formed a human wall in front of Shi Shizi.
Two teams of strong archers had already appeared on both sides behind him, ready to draw their bows!
Zhu Zhanji took a deep breath and shouted,""Do you know that charging the city wall is a capital offense?”
"Your Majesty!"
"Shut up! I am the grand grandson, not the emperor."
The white-robed man in the front row was stunned for a moment before hurriedly changing his words."Your Highness, we are here to demand an explanation. Qian Qianyi, Li Banghua, and the others are all representatives of our literati. They are loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty. Why were they imprisoned for no reason?”
Another one stood up and bowed to Zhu Zhanji,""May I ask, Your Highness, why were all the officials of the Eastwoods expelled from the Imperial Court? The officials of the Eastwoods are all officials of the Imperial Court. What crime have they committed?”
Thank you! He cupped his fists!
