Chapter 158 Li Xunhuan wants to break through in seclusion
"Yes." Liu Jin on the city wall responded quickly.
"In addition, all the words I said today will be made clear to the imperial edict, and the Jin Yiwei will spread them throughout the world.
Let every common people in the Ming Dynasty know."
"Yes." Zhang Fengfu and other Jinyiwei senior officials responded.
"Abolish the official positions of Li Dongyang and others and conduct a thorough investigation.
Everyone should be dealt with according to the method I said." Zhu Houzhao ordered again.
"Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong. I was deceived by the Confucius family, and now I have found my way back."
"Your Majesty, I know that I was wrong!"
"Your Majesty , the students also realized their mistake! ”
·····
These words also woke up the officials and scholars who were detained.
Taking advantage of the emperor's decree, Jin Yiwei was temporarily distracted, and most of the officials and scholars began to beg for mercy.
The officials and scholars who had not come forward just now felt happy for a while.
Zhu Houzhao looked over after hearing the sound, his brows furrowed.
He scolded in disgust: "Look at what you look like?
Since you have done something wrong, you must be punished. What are you afraid of, a man?
Thanks to you before. The scholars of the Ming Dynasty really embarrass me.”
The officials and scholars immediately looked desperate.
This kind of punishment is too difficult.
Liu Jian shook his head helplessly, and was about to ask for mercy. He was the chief minister of the Ming Dynasty, so he had to ask.
At this time, Xie Qian pulled him and looked at Li Xunhuan who was not far away.
Liu Jian understood immediately, thought for a moment, and nodded slightly.
Xie Qian calmly approached and whispered: "Li Shilang, some of these people are truly repentant after all. Please ask Li Shilang to intercede.
Now Your Majesty probably doesn’t believe us, so I can only ask you to speak.”
Li Xunhuan was already a little intolerant and was hesitating whether to plead for mercy.
Hearing this, he looked at Xie Qian and said seriously: "Mr. Xie Ge, I am willing to ask for mercy.
But Mr. Ge underestimated your majesty's broad mind.
Mr. Li Ge and the others are the ones, and His Majesty will never distrust the other officials because of them."
Xie Qian was startled, then came to his senses and said solemnly: "We are the villains. I am a wise man, thank you very much for the reminder, Mr. Li.”
"The old man's words are true," Li Xunhuan said modestly.
"Then I'll speak together later." Xie Qian said with a smile.
"Okay." Li Xunhuan nodded.
Xie Qian went back and spoke to Liu Jian.
Liu Jian looked deeply at Li Xunhuan, feeling as if the waves behind him in the Yangtze River were pushing ahead.
The people your Majesty values are indeed extraordinary.
No longer hesitating, he said: "Your Majesty, there are many people among these people who have been truly deceived and have sincerely changed their minds at this time.
Your Majesty is very tolerant, so you might as well give them another chance."
"Your Majesty, you are the king and father of all the subjects in the world. If the children make mistakes, the father will punish them, but he must also give them a chance to correct themselves. Your Majesty, please think twice." Xie Qian followed.
Zhu Houzhao raised his eyebrows, showing his thoughts.
"Your Majesty, some of them are just passionate and deceived.
They are loyal to me, Ming Dynasty. The three generations of the family are also somewhat innocent. Your Majesty might as well give them a chance to change their ways." Li Xunhuan also spoke.
The other officials spoke when they saw the two pavilion elders and Li Xunhuan.
Whether they meant it or not, they immediately followed suit and begged for mercy.
That’s all the words to ask for mercy.
Lord, you are very tolerant.
Zhu Houzhao felt a little irritated, not for these officials who were asking for mercy.
But for these officials and scholars who made mistakes.
He once again felt that being a father would be a bit troublesome when he met his rebellious son.
"There is some truth in what you said. After all, I am their previous king and father, and their three generations are also innocent."
Zhu Houzhao spoke, and everyone who begged for mercy and made mistakes was delighted.
"I will give these traitors a chance. The scholars who have just admitted their mistakes, you all become teachers and teach children to read.
Twenty years later, if you do a good job, I will pardon you, and your three generations can take the imperial examination. "Officials are not good, and the scholars are still young and immature. As the king's father, I can give them a chance to change.
< br>Every official has a bad heart
They and the scholars who did not admit their mistakes continued to punish them in this way. ”
The scholars who had just admitted their mistake and begged for mercy were excited. Although it would take twenty years, they would not be thrown out of the Ming Dynasty after all, and they would not be allowed to take the imperial examination for three generations.
And those officials were not as good as they had just been. The scholars who admitted their mistake and begged for mercy quickly knelt down and kowtowed to beg for mercy.
Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to look at them and asked the Jinyi guards to escort them away.
After these people were suppressed, Zhu Houzhao's eyes suddenly became clear.
Looking at the hundreds of thousands of people of the Ming Dynasty, their hearts naturally surged with pride and domineering.
“Okay, that’s it for today.
All the people of Ming Dynasty, I will tell you one last time.
As long as you don’t offend me The law is great, so no matter what happens, don't be afraid
Anyone who dares to oppress and bully you is nothing more than a paper tiger. I will always stand behind you. "
"I'm leaving. You should go home early. Be careful not to be crowded to avoid injury. Jinyiwei, keep a closer look. ”
The first words seemed so domineering to everyone.
The two abrupt sentences at the end made people feel a little inconsistent.
But that feeling of intimacy came over me.
Looking at the tall golden figure who waved to them and left.
An unspeakable feeling filled their hearts.
"Long live your Majesty! Long live your Majesty!"
The earth-shattering fiery cry rang out for the third time and never dissipated for a long time.
Zhu Houzhao paused for a moment before returning to the palace, and then continued back to the palace.
Because he knew that if he didn't leave, it would be difficult for the people to leave first.
"Da Cao Banban, please pay more attention and don't let the people get hurt." Zhu Houzhao turned to Cao Youxiang and said.
"Yes, I understand, I will go now." Cao Youxiang said immediately and turned around.
After feeling that the instructions were complete enough, Zhu Houzhao returned to the palace happily.
Outside the palace, the undercurrent was just beginning to blow.
Jin Yiwei is the busiest, and they need to deal with all kinds of things.
Fortunately, Jin Yiwei currently has enough talents, so they can be handled separately. Although they are busy, they are not chaotic.
The crowd in front of Chengtian Gate also dispersed under the supervision of Jin Yiwei.
With overwhelming heated discussion, it spread throughout the capital.
"The capital city has been suppressed by His Majesty, but it is not that easy everywhere.
We need to prepare early, and all the evidence of the Kong family's crimes must be presented as soon as possible." Just after leaving Chengtianmen, Xie Qian said deeply vocal channel.
Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, let’s concentrate on the ending.
"Yes." Liu Jian nodded and said thoughtfully: "With Baoguo Gong, Guo Bujing, and Cao Zhengchun in Lu, and Kong Hongxu and his son not here, Lu will not be in chaos.
In other places, Jinyiwei has been expanding continuously, and the thousands of households in the province have become innate.
Coupled with the current power of His Majesty and the imperial court, it should be barely enough to control the situation.
As for officials, let the six ministers and the censors of the left and right come to discuss it immediately. "
"Hmm. ”
···
Li Xunhuan personally thanked several friends.
When it was Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou's turn, they first expressed their thanks and then said sincerely: "Brother Hua and the Hua family have great influence in Jiangnan. I also ask Brother Hua to help the court and stabilize the situation as much as possible."< br>
"Brother Li, don't worry. As a member of the Ming Dynasty, this is the responsibility of the Hua family." Hua Manlou agreed without hesitation.
“Thank you.” Li Xunhuan smiled.
"Brother Li's words are serious." Flowers filled the corridor.
"Brother Lu, I wonder what your plans are next?" Li Xunhuan looked at Lu Xiaofeng.
"To be honest with Brother Li, I was just considering whether to join the Imperial Guard to help His Majesty create a prosperous Ming Dynasty." Lu Xiaofeng said truthfully.
"If Brother Lu is willing to join the Jinyiwei, the Jinyiwei will definitely be very happy." Li Xunhuan said with slightly bright eyes.
“But after I think about it carefully, I’m afraid it’s hard for me to be controlled by Jin Yiwei with my temperament.” Lu Xiaofeng said distressedly.
Hearing the words, Li Xunhuan pondered for a moment and said seriously: "Zhang Tongzhi, Guo Tongzhi, and Yan Qianshi are all broad-minded and reasonable people.
Brother Lu, why not wait a moment while I go Talk to them to see if there is any way to get the best of both worlds.”
"If it is true, that would be even better. Thank you Brother Li." Lu Xiaofeng smiled gratefully.
He also knew that if he went to Jin Yiwei to discuss it himself, and if he went to Jin Yiwei with Li Xunhuan, there would definitely be two different results.
"Brother Lu, you are very polite. It would be a blessing for the imperial court to have such a great talent as Brother Lu." Li Xunhuan said sincerely.
After a pause, Li Xunhuan added: "After our discussion, I can no longer entertain you two."
"Brother Li is busy, so don't bother with us.
If you have anything, please feel free to speak up. "Hua Manlou said sincerely.
"To be honest with Brother Hua and Brother Lu, the current situation in the capital is calm, but outside the capital, it may not be that easy.
Including this Ludi rebellion, there may be someone behind it.
So the court needs stronger deterrence, and I am going into seclusion. "Li Xunhuan didn't hide anything and said directly.
He has many friends, but the two he trusts the most must be these two.
"Brother Li is going to retreat and break through to the Grand Master!" Lu Xiaofeng said in surprise.
"Only a great master can give the imperial court an extra deterrent effect. I want to go into seclusion and try it." Li Xunhuan said cautiously.
"Congratulations to Brother Li, Brother Li will definitely succeed." Hua Manlou said with confidence.
"Yes, if Brother Li can't succeed, not many people in the world can succeed." Lu Xiaofeng said sincerely.
Xiao Li’s flying knife is famous far and wide.
They had seen the real Xiao Li flying knife with their own eyes. It was not only fast, but also a kind of belief and will.
They even doubted that when Xiao Li's flying knife shot, could the Grand Master resist?
Xiao Li Feidao’s will, coupled with the cultivation of the imperial court, will surely succeed.
"Brother Lu is so complimentary." Li Xunhuan said modestly.
Without further words, Li Xunhuan took Lu Xiaofeng and the others to Jinyiwei.
After some discussion, Zhang Fengfu, Weng Taibei, and Yan Nantian made a decision.
Invite Lu Xiaofeng to be Jin Yiwei’s guest.
