Just look at history and you would know how harsh Old Zhu was towards the officials of the Ming Dynasty.
If he didn't take bribes, he wouldn't be able to live.
Zhan Hui, Zhao Mian, and the like would not be greedy on the surface, but would they not be greedy in private?
His relatives wouldn't be greedy?
Zhu Yuanzhang's expression turned even uglier.
He thought that he was already ruthless enough, and the law was already harsh enough.
Who knew that there were still countless people who broke the law.
"Your Majesty."
"This is Zhan Hui, Zhao Mian's property in the capital.”
"There are other places in his family that I didn't have time to copy.”
Jiang Meng said.
Zhu Yunhao waved his hand and said,"Then continue copying."”
"Send all the silver that is confiscated to the palace.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave.”
"You have to do this well now.”
Zhu Yunhao said indifferently.
"I understand, but…”Jiang Meng's tone became hesitant, and he even stole a glance at Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at him.
"You dog, why are you looking at us?”
"Are you afraid that we will issue an imperial decree to execute you now?”
Jiang Meng lowered her head and said nothing.
Zhu Yunhao looked around thoughtfully and said,""But what? Just say it."
"Your Majesty, this matter concerns the Retired Emperor. I dare not speak rashly. Please forgive me, Your Majesty…" Jiang Meng gritted his teeth.”
"I absolve you of your crime. Tell me, what's the matter?"”
Jiang Meng spoke quickly, not giving Zhu Yuanzhang a chance to react,"The Embroidered Uniform Guards received a secret report that the Retired Emperor secretly colluded with the court to plot a rebellion.”
"Many civil officials have gathered together to force His Majesty to abdicate.”
"How dare you!" Zhu Yuanzhang was furious.
"Dog, you dare to speak nonsense and slander us?”
One could tell from this sentence.
Old Zhu had unknowingly lowered his status by a level.
He was now under the new emperor, Zhu Yunhao.
"Your Majesty, I dare not speak nonsense.”
"I really did receive a report saying that some officials secretly formed a party and plotted to force the palace to rebel.”
"Among them are the Imperial Censorate, the Imperial Academy, the Imperial College…”
Jiang Meng hurriedly poured out all the information he knew,"Yes, and those scholars from the directorate.”
"They want to petition and force His Majesty to abdicate…”
Hearing this.
This was all secret information.
Everything was done in secret.
Zhu Yuanzhang almost spat out a mouthful of blood. He pointed at Jiang Meng with a trembling finger. He couldn't accept it.
Why did Jiang Meng betray him in such a short time?
One had to know.
The current situation was still on Zhu Yuanzhang's side.
Many of the courtiers were watching, but most of them were secretly contacting him, indicating that they would listen to his orders.
This close subordinate of his.
He didn't expect her to betray him so thoroughly.
Jinyiwei.
Originally, they were the emperor's personal army, but now they had become Zhu Yunchen's minions, monitoring him instead.
There were no secrets at all.
Old Zhu knew how terrifying the Jinyiwei were.
Because he was the one who created it and used it.
Zhu Yunhao looked at Old Zhu's grief-stricken face.
He found it funny.
You, Old Zhu, have such a day.
You must be angry, right?
Don't be so angry.
"Your Majesty, please issue a decree. I will arrest all of them and interrogate them strictly to force out their accomplices.”
Jiang Meng said impatiently.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became nervous. If the Embroidered Uniform Guards moved, what would happen?
Wouldn't all the officials who were loyal to him be wiped out in one pot?
Was the Jinyiwei organization shooting themselves in the foot?
Old Zhu felt bitter.
He never thought that one day, he would be treated like this by the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
"No need," Zhu Yunhao waved his hand.
"You should focus on Zhan Hui's case. The most important thing for you right now is to confiscate the house.”
"Don't bother about other things that you shouldn't ask or care about.”
"Just do your part."
Jiang Meng was extremely disappointed. He said,"Your humble servant obeys."
"You may leave."
"I will take my leave."
Jiang Meng quickly left the palace.
Not long after, Zhu Yuanzhang also ran away.
If he stayed in the Hall of Respect, he was afraid that it would be difficult to answer Zhu Yunhao's questions.
"Haha!"
Zhu Yunhao raised his head and laughed loudly in the Hall of Self-respect.
That smile was as wild as it could be.
Zhu Yuanzhang felt extremely uncomfortable when he heard this unbridled laughter.
He was actually mocking her behind her back again.
"Jiang Meng, Jiang Meng."
"I want to tear you into pieces."
"You traitor."
Jiang Meng's Hatred Points in Old Zhu's heart.
In a short period of time, he rose to the first place.
……
After Jiang Qiong left the palace, his subordinates who were waiting outside came up to him.
"To the yamen."
"Yes."
Very quickly.
Jiang Meng arrived at the Embroidered Uniform Guards 'yamen. The higher-ups of the Embroidered Uniform Guards did not leave.
"His Majesty's decree."
"Exterminate Zhan Hui, Zhao Mian and the other six clans."
"This is not only His Majesty's will, but also the Retired Emperor's will."”
"What?"
"Even the Retired Emperor is like this?"
"The six clans of these two clans won't be able to escape.”
"Silence," Jiang Chi said.
"Act immediately. We must do this beautifully. Otherwise, everyone knows what will happen.”
"Yes."
After the arrangements were made.
Jiang Meng left in a hurry.
After he got on the carriage, his tense face suddenly showed a painful expression.
He leaned against the carriage carefully.
The jolt of the carriage made his pained expression even worse.
Back at the mansion.
Jiang Meng went straight to the study.
His trusted butler followed behind him. As soon as the door closed, Jiang Meng could no longer pretend.
"Master."
The butler quickly went forward to support him.
"Take it off!" Jiang Meng said painfully.
After the housekeeper helped him sit down, he took off Jiang Meng's clothes.
After a while.
Jiang Meng took off his clothes.
His body was wrapped in a white cloth.
At this moment, the white cloth was already covered in blood.
The butler carefully applied the medicine for him.
Jiang Meng held it in and didn't make a sound.
No one could tell.
In the Venerated Body Palace Hall, Jiang Meng was able to remain calm and composed despite being covered in wounds.
"Something has changed in the palace."
"The new emperor is strong and unpredictable."
Jiang Meng said.
"Isn't the Retired Emperor going to be restored?"”
"I can't restore him. I told him tonight that those people wanted to force him to abdicate, but the new emperor didn't react at all.”
"The new emperor isn't afraid of those little brats.”
"I'm also not afraid of Retired Emperor's restoration.”
"Hiss…!"
He sucked in a breath of cold air and smiled bitterly.""The Retired Emperor's restoration is certain death for me.”
"Now, I can only follow the new emperor.”
"There is no other way."
He looked down at his wound.
These injuries.
It was caused in just a few hours after the new emperor took over the throne.
That man.
Zhu Dayong.
He was the absolute confidant of the new Emperor.
Using cruel and ruthless methods, he had no choice but to submit.
The image of Zhu Da Yong torturing him appeared in his mind, and Jiang Meng couldn't help but shiver.
