The kneeling officials lowered their heads even more.
The scene also began to quiet down.
Everyone looked at Zhu Zhanji with rapt attention.
Zhu Zhanji took a step forward and shouted," For the past ten years, the military pay and pension have all flowed into your pockets. You still have the face to ask about it?”
"Ji Gang!"
Ji Gang took a step forward and shouted,"" Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, Zhao Da; General of the Five Armies, Yang Lin; Chief of the Ministry of War, Gu Qing…"
"For more than ten years, he has embezzled the army's salary and deducted the compensation.”
"According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty!"
"Take them all down!"
"Your Highness, I'm innocent! I'm innocent!"
"Spare me, spare me, they forced me to do it!"
"Your Highness, I don't want to die, I don't want to die!"
Zhu Zhanji looked at Yang Lian with a meaningful look, smiled and turned around,""Emperor Yongle's decree!"
The people, the officials, the Jinyiwei!
All of them knelt down!
"Great Ming's Emperor Yongle issued an edict saying: All the soldiers of Great Ming who died in battle are meritorious officials of Great Ming. The compensation that has been reduced and deducted will be reissued. The widows of the soldiers who died in battle will be given preferential treatment by the Imperial Court!”
The indignant middle-aged woman at the front knelt down with red eyes and said,"Your Highness is wise. Long live the Emperor!"
"Your Highness is wise. Long live the Emperor!"
"Your Highness is wise. Long live the Emperor!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded lightly." All the officials are asking questions. In your eyes, it's like child's play. It's ridiculous. You're abusing the ancestral system."
"Order all of you to retreat quickly!"
Then, he turned around and stepped onto the dragon throne!
Ji Gang smiled darkly." His Highness has given the order. Those who don't retreat will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"”
"The culprit is exterminated!"
Looking at the officials who were still looking left and right, they were actually already panicking. They were just too embarrassed to run alone. At this moment, whoever left first would be a laughing stock.
Ji Gang smiled gloomily and walked down with a whip in his hand.
He rushed into the crowd and started to smoke.
Ji Gang's goal was obvious. He whipped Yang Lian.
"Ah! How dare you!"
Pa!
The whip lashed down again.
Yang Lian couldn't care less at this time and turned around to run.
Bang!
Before she could take a few steps, she tripped over Ji Gang.
Ji Gang smiled sinisterly. The officials had long disappeared without a trace.
Yang Lian's expression changed drastically as he looked at Ji Gang and said,""W-what are you doing?"
Ji Gang smiled faintly." Men, Yang Lian disobeyed the imperial edict. He will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"”
"Beat him up!"
"Aiyo, Ji Gang, you dog thief, you're using your position to take revenge!”
"Aiyo, be gentle…"
...
Zhu Zhanji had already returned to the Palace of Heavenly Purity.
Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Zhanji with a strange expression.""Your Highness, why don't you capture Yang Lian as well?”
"It's not time yet!" Zhu Zhanji said.”
Yang Shiqi shook his head and said," Your Highness, the Emperor has already set out. The Crown Prince is still in charge of the country. The King of Han and the King of Zhao will set out with the army!"”
"Well, isn't this within expectations?”
"Is it different this time?"
"How is it different?"
"Your Highness, do you think the Han and Zhao kings want the emperor to win faster or slower?" Yang Shiqi sighed.”
Zhu Zhanji sighed with a complicated look in his eyes."What is Lord Yang's opinion on this matter?"
Yang Shiqi looked at Zhu Zhanji meaningfully and said,""I dare not say that I have a brilliant idea, but I do have a stupid move!”
Zhu Zhanji nodded lightly.”
Yang Shiqi lowered his head and said softly,"As long as the Emperor is alive, the world belongs to the Emperor. Whether it's the King of Han or the King of Zhao, no matter how much they jump around, it's useless."
"Now that the advantage lies with His Highness and the Crown Prince, the one who should be anxious is naturally not you."
"Lord Yang, what do you mean?"
"It's better not to do anything than to do nothing. The more you do, the more mistakes you make. The emperor is an emperor on horseback, a true hero.”
Zhu Zhanji suddenly understood." I understand. Then we don't have to do anything. We just have to give some information occasionally."
"Your Highness is wise!"
Zhu Zhanji chuckled,"I'm afraid that after today's kowtow, I'll be at the end of my rope."
Yang Shiqi also sighed,"Yes, Your Highness, you must be careful."
Zhu Zhanji shook his head nonchalantly." We'll deal with whatever comes our way. When the army retreated, I stayed behind. From that moment on, I knew what I was going to face. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."
Yang Shiqi bowed respectfully and said,"Yang Shiqi will advance and retreat with Your Highness!"”
Zhu Zhanji and Yang Shiqi looked at each other and laughed.
"This humble subject will take his leave!"
Zhu Zhanji closed his eyes and started to rest.
"Is Your Highness 'daily life like this?”
Zhu Zhanji was stunned for a moment. He suddenly pulled out the short knife on his calf and turned around."Who is it?"
Zhang Yan came out and bowed to Zhu Zhanji,""Greetings, Your Highness."
Zhu Zhanji heaved a sigh of relief and sat down.”
"Today, I came to ask for some food from His Highness. Many concubines from the previous dynasty who are willing to guard the tomb with me have come to the Imperial Ancestral Temple!”
Zhu Zhanji nodded.”
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
Zhu Zhanji's eyes flickered as he looked at Zhang Yan, who was walking out, and said in a low voice,""Investigate this woman!"
"This subordinate will obey.
A gloomy reply came from behind the screen in the lobby.
