Chapter 152: Arrest
For a while, the crowd was filled with angry shouts and curses.
A pair of eyes glared angrily at Zhang Fengfu and the Jin Yiwei behind him.
How could the Jin Yiwei, whose morale is extremely high and everyone is gearing up, be afraid?
One by one, they drew their knives and stared back fiercely.
The sound of the knife being drawn was filled with cold air.
Many people were startled and couldn't help but take a step back.
"Don't be afraid, we are the disciples of the saint, and we uphold the principles of God Yan.
And when the saint is in power, he will never allow such hawks and dogs to kill innocent people indiscriminately."< br>
"That's right, don't be afraid. We haven't broken any laws. Your Majesty loves the people like his own sons, so they don't dare to kill us."
"Yes, protect Duke Yan Sheng!"
·····
Every word you say makes the scholars' courage rise again.
Zhang Fengfu couldn't help but shake his head secretly. Do these scholars realize that they are resisting the decree?
Your Majesty is the only one in the entire Ming Dynasty who can order the Jinyi Guards to command Tongzhi to arrest Duke Yan.
He knew that there must be no delay at this time, he had to cut through the mess quickly and take the person away as soon as possible.
Ignoring these young scholars and officials, he looked directly at Kong Hongxu and his son behind the crowd.
Said in a deep voice: "Mr. Yansheng, please come with us."
Kong Hongxu felt more and more uncomfortable. Of course he knew that he could get the Jin Yiwei commander to arrest him. There is only the emperor.
But he had just entered Beijing, how could he have offended the emperor?
Just ignore the impact and let the Jin Yiwei catch him.
Could it be that the factory guard found something at home?
Kong Hongxu was shocked and confused, but he did not dare to just follow the Jin Yiwei. He looked at the officials and scholars around him and felt more at ease.
He knows very well that in this capital, his greatest reliance and protector are not a few innate realm guards, not even the Grand Master, or even the Grand Master's extreme realm.
Officials and scholars are the ones.
He said calmly: "Excuse me, Mr. Zhang, what crime have I committed? You want to arrest me."
This Duke Yan Sheng seems to be afraid to follow them.
Zhang Fengfu immediately understood his intention and could not get entangled any longer. He made a decision immediately and said loudly: "According to His Majesty's decree, we are arresting Mr. Yan Shenggong and his son. Who dares to stop it? It will be regarded as resistance to the decree."
His Majesty’s decree!
The excited and enthusiastic scholars suddenly looked at each other as if cold water had been poured on them.
Several officials even instinctively shrank their heads, shocked and frightened.
But if you think about it calmly, who else but Your Majesty can make the commander Zhang Feng Mansion come to arrest Duke Yan?
He couldn't help but his eyes flickered, and he took a step back.
"Mr. Yan Sheng, let's go." Seeing that the officials and scholars had been restrained, Zhang Feng's house immediately said sternly.
Kong Hongxu cursed a bunch of losers in his heart. You were frightened by a verbal decree.
A look was given to the son beside him.
“May I ask Mr. Zhang, where is the imperial edict?” Kong Wenshao said understandingly and politely.
"Yes, where is the imperial edict?" A scholar followed and asked.
"Your Majesty decreed that Duke Yansheng, you and your son, are going to resist the decree?" Zhang Fengfu said coldly.
"There is no imperial decree, so you come to arrest my father and son! What a joke, what do you Jin Yiwei want to do?" Kong Wenshao was overjoyed, and immediately shouted with an angry and humiliating look, almost saying "frame up" came out.
The emotions of many scholars were aroused again.
"Yes, we want to capture Duke Yan without the imperial edict! Are Jin Yiwei going to rebel?"
"Jin Yiwei must be falsely passing on the imperial edict!"
"Yes. , they must not be allowed to take Duke Yan Sheng away, lest they surrender.”
····
A series of angry voices rose up with each other again. Only a few scholars remained silent and quietly took two steps back.
"Unbridled." Zhang Fengfu shouted angrily, suppressed all the voices, and said coldly: "Your Majesty's oral instructions, who dares to falsely pass them on?
Come and capture Yan Shenggong and his son. , Anyone who dares to stop them will be killed without mercy.”
The murderous voice suppressed everyone.
The Jin Yiwei immediately stepped forward like a tiger coming out of its cage. The scholars separated in fear, and the officials had already ran aside.
If during the late emperor's time, the Jin Yiwei dared to be so rampant, they would definitely fight against him.
But this was the period of Emperor Shengwu, and no one would doubt that Jin Yiwei's sword could kill people.
Not only that, the late Emperor and Emperor Shengwu are different after all.
The word "prestige" will calm down the scholars who are prone to get hot-blooded and are not afraid of death.
Two figures dressed as people from the martial arts world came to Kong Hongxu's side like lightning and looked at the Jin Yiwei without fear.
Zhang Fengfu's eyes immediately stared like lightning.
“Back off.” Kong Hongxu gritted his teeth and waved his hand.
This Zhang Feng Mansion is so arrogant and not afraid of the retaliation of civil servants and the scorn of scholars. What can two innate masters do?
If you dare to take action, it will be a big problem.
"Catch them together." Zhang Fengfu ordered.
The two innate masters were somewhat unwilling to surrender, but in Kong Hongxu's eyes, they still did not resist.
"Hahaha." Suddenly, Kong Hongxu laughed twice, and said calmly and righteously: "Okay, I will go with you Jin Yiwei to see what crime I have committed. ? "
He clasped his hands and said sincerely to the officials and scholars around him: "Thank you for your support today. I am very grateful.
But don't worry, the Holy Lord is here. I won’t let the hawks and dogs act arrogantly, and I am not afraid of such young people.”
He wanted to say more that Zhang Feng Mansion had sent word that the two Jin Yi guards grabbed Kong Hongxu's arms and took him away.
They don’t care about Duke Yan, His Majesty’s will is the greatest.
Zhang Fengfu left quickly with Kong Hongxu, his son, and the two innate realms.
Before they took a few steps, the scholars started making trouble again.
“Shenggong Yan understands the righteousness so well, it must be a villain who deceived Your Majesty, so he was arrested.”
"Yes, that must be the case. There are villains and treacherous ministers who are causing trouble. We should immediately notify all the scholars to seek justice for Yan Shenggong." Duke Yan Sheng has suffered an unjust injustice."
"Go and tell all the scholars to go see your Majesty together."
····
Dozens of them. The scholars immediately dispersed and ran to inform others.
The officials looked solemn and a little angry.
"There must be a traitor who has deceived Your Majesty. Otherwise, how could Your Majesty arrest Duke Yan? We will immediately notify our colleagues and defend Duke Yan." One person said quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes, we will go immediately." The rest of the people agreed and quickly dispersed.
The news that Yan Shenggong and his son were captured by Jin Yiwei spread as quickly as possible in the capital.
The civil officials, tens of thousands of candidates, more imperial students, including some military officers, and the people were all shocked.
"What's going on? Why did Your Majesty let the Jin Yiwei capture Duke Yan and his son?"
The cabinet received the news immediately. Liu Jian's eyes widened, he stood up and looked at the person in front of him. Small official.
Not only him, but also Li Dongyang and Xie Qian couldn't sit still.
Especially Li Dongyang, who was unusually panicked.
It was a real panic.
Why did Your Majesty let the Jin Yiwei capture the Kong family and his son?
The three of them must have guessed the answer. His Majesty must have known about the Kong family.
“The lower officials don’t know it, but it is true that the Jin Yiwei Zhang Feng Mansion captured Yan Shenggong and his son in public.
The officials and scholars present dispersed I went to contact other people, saying that I wanted to see His Majesty and seek justice for Duke Yan Sheng." The official couldn't bear the looks of the three pavilion elders and said quickly with his head lowered.
“Asshole, are you trying to make things worse?
Do you think that by making the matter bigger, you can force His Majesty to make concessions? "
Liu Jian became even more angry, stupid, this is not the time of the late emperor.
Take a deep breath and said quickly and decisively: "Go and inform the officials immediately, just say it is our intention. , let all officials stay in their proper place and not act recklessly.
We will immediately go to see His Majesty and give justice to the Holy Duke, and let the officials try their best to appease the scholars. ”
“Yes, I’ll go right away.” "The official ran out immediately.
"Without further delay, let's go see His Majesty right away." Liu Jian looked at Li Dongyang and Li Dongyang, lingering on Li Dongyang for a while, but didn't say much.
Li Dongyang and Xie Qian nodded.
The three people hurriedly came to Qianqing Palace to ask for an audience.
At this time, Zhu Houzhao had been informed by Jin Yiwei that Kong Hongxu and his son were captured and asked what to do.
He ordered that the Kong family and his son be interrogated about the dirty things the Kong family had done.
He has already made a decision in his mind. He will hold a morning court tomorrow and announce that he will kill Kong Hongxu first and correct the mistakes of his father and grandfather.
At the same time, I once again tell everyone that no matter who they are in Ming Dynasty, if they dare to break the law, they must be punished, and no one can be exempted.
As for what Jin Yiwei reported, officials and scholars were working together to seek justice for Yan Shenggong, but he didn't take it to heart.
I also want to see how many officials and scholars are blind and want to intercede for the Kong family and his son?
Hearing that the three cabinet ministers asked for an audience, Zhu Houzhao frowned. Was it for the Kong family and his son?
But let them in anyway.
After saluting, Liu Jian and the others could not help but glance at Liu Jin and Liu Jin who were facing the wall, and immediately asked: "Your Majesty, I dare to ask, why did you let the Jin Yiwei capture Duke Yansheng and his son?"< br>
"Do you know that Kong Hongxu killed innocent people indiscriminately when he was a boy?
Do you know that the Kong family did a lot of harm to the people?" Zhu Houzhao asked directly with his eyes widened.
Liu Jian and the others were stunned, speechless for a while.
"You know this, but you still dare to ask me why?" Zhu Houzhao's eyes turned cold, he suddenly stood up and scolded.
Liu Jian and the others turned pale and were about to argue.
Zhu Houzhao looked outside and suddenly smiled, "Okay, there are so many people coming, very good, let them all come in.
I want to take a look, today How many people plead for this damn thing?"
Liu Jian and the other three felt a sudden feeling of horror in their hearts.
The five ministers, the left and right censors of the Duchayuan, and the minister of Dali Temple who had just arrived outside the Qianqing Palace were waiting for orders to enter before they asked for an audience.
More than ten people walked into the hall. When they saw them, Liu Jian and the others felt dizzy.
Nonsense!
Don’t you know that Your Majesty is not threatened?
Why are so many people coming?
Didn't I ask you to wait?
