Chapter 79 The Rise of Dongchang: Deserving of His Name, Governor Cao [8.6k]

"Tick, tick..."

Sticky blood dripped continuously from the black gold python robe on Luo Congee's body, the sound was not loud, but it was very clear in the suddenly quiet scene.

Every drop of blood that fell made the hearts of the officials on the tower twitch. It was a feeling of blood connection, because the corpses behind him were their heirs, blood relatives, but now someone used their blood to stain the palace. wall.

"call……"

This is the sound of chest heaving and being suppressed. There are as many as 30 to [-] officials on the city tower who couldn't bear the result and fainted.

Still can't hide my emotions in this situation. You must know that those who can be sent to the Imperial College are their heirs who value them very much. In a sense, they are the successors they cultivate. There is no comparison.

Now that they have been slaughtered, even those courtiers who have no heirs will inevitably feel the sorrow of the rabbit dead and the fox hurting others. Apart from fear, there is also an unconcealable disgust in the eyes of Luo Congee.

"Your Majesty, please make an order!"

Luo Congee never paid any attention to the grief-stricken courtiers, and never left Zhu Ming's eyes. He didn't hear an answer for a long time, and asked again.

"That's it, that's it..."

"I order you, Luo Congee, to bring back all the people involved in the case!"

"You can ask for orders to go to the Guozijian, but please remember one thing, you must not kill people at will in it, all the people involved in the case will be brought back, and after they are brought back, they will all be sent to the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, and then don't worry about this matter , I will personally try it together with the third division!"

"Sir, take the lead!"

"Well, let's go!"

Zhu Ming thought for a long time and finally waved his hands.

"Sir, retire!"

Luo Porridge was not too surprised when he heard the news. Guozijian was different from other academies. If he really ordered to kill them all, I am afraid that the civil and military officials would run counter to him as the emperor.

He has always thought about clearing the rear party, grasping the scale, and stabilizing the power, but what he thought was that as long as the enemy stood in front of him, he would die, no matter who he was or how many people there were, the difference between the two There is an essential difference between.

"Pei Xingwu, where are you!"

After Luo Porridge left, Zhu Ming's gaze fell on the armored commander of the imperial army again, looking at his clean clothes, his tone was inexplicably slightly alienated.

"Sir, here!"

Pei Xingwu knelt down and respectfully said, feeling Zhu Ming's gaze, cold sweat dripped from his forehead, he had already thought of this possibility at the moment he hesitated to give the order, but he didn't expect the consequences to be so serious, plus the Luo Guo decided to make a move, Between the two, high and low are judged.

"I order you to take all the officials involved in the scene to the Metropolitan Procuratorate and the prison. In addition, after taking them into custody, immediately lead them to Wang Qiming's home, and kill his family members in the name of treason!"

Zhu Ming ordered in a cold voice.

"In addition, Commander Pei, please remember for me that Shangjing is not the place I found for you to retire. It's been just over a year, why is it here?"

Zhu Ming looked at Pei Xingwu who was kneeling on the ground meticulously and couldn't help but make a few remarks.

"Sir, I understand!"

Pei Xingwu heard the sound of his head touching the ground and said.

"Ah."

After Zhu Ming finished speaking, he looked at the limp courtiers all around and said, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly, you wait, and stay in the Metropolitan Procuratorate with peace of mind."

"Go..."

After Zhu Ming finished speaking, he waved his hands at Pei Xingwu. He heard that the latter led the forbidden army to take away all the officials who had children.

During the whole process, they did not encounter any resistance. After all, they also knew what it meant to be detained in the Metropolitan Procuratorate instead of Zhao Prison. At least there was still a glimmer of hope.

"For the rest, there is no one involved in the case. Follow me back to the palace and continue to court. I still have something to say. The regulations for the Northern Expedition Army cannot be delayed."

Zhu Ming looked at the obviously sparse group of officials and said, there was a look of tiredness between his brows, but he still didn't dare to relax in the slightest.

Before his father passed away, he had planted a lot of hidden dangers. In addition, the vicious woman had been doing something wrong during the years of being in power. By the time I took over, it had become a mess full of holes. Now I can only be more diligent in politics. , mending, I hope, can prolong the luck of the dynasty.

……

Chen Shi,

Jinyiwei Campus,
Looking around, there was a crowd of people standing in the dark. Apart from the officials who dug the pit, there were thousands of elite cavalry waiting quietly together.

"call……"

"Why hasn't Lord Luo come yet?"

Zhou Qianhu glanced at the sky that had completely brightened and said doubtfully, he and others received orders as early as midnight last night, and waited here, but after several hours, no one came, and they didn't say what to do Task.

The only thing that reassures them is that besides them, there are many Tiqi waiting here, including a dozen of His Majesty's people.

"Hey, woo woo..."

Just when Zhou Qianhu was puzzled,
There was the sound of a horse neighing as the reins were tightened.

"Is everyone here?"

Luo Porridge walked to the high platform and asked in a cold voice.

"Report to my lord, it's all done!"

Ding Xiu reported that a total of 130 officials, even those who were secretly carrying out other tasks, were forcibly transferred here regardless of the reason.

"How is the list collected?"

Luo Congee asked again.

"Please take a look, my lord."

Ding Xiu handed some brochures to Luo Porridge, which recorded the names of all the parading students in the Imperial College two days ago, most of them were the children of high-ranking officials, and many of them knew them. It is not difficult to make statistics by registering and making books.

"Well, let's go!"

Luo porridge gathers the booklet,

Looking at the officials below, he said in a deep voice.

"Lord Luo..."

Zhou Qianhu's heart tightened as he stared at the blood-red python robe, and with a few folds, his heart that had just fallen was suspended again, recalling the conversation between the two just now, and he was a little confused.

"My lord, I dare to ask you a question,"

"Where shall we go?"

Before Zhou Qianhu could say anything, a Jinyiwei official with an unfamiliar face but wearing a flying fish suit walked out of the line and asked Luo Congee. This person was Zhang Zhengquan, one of the 13 people who worked for the emperor. For Qianhu, it's just that he seldom appears in Jinyiwei, so it's a little strange.

"Is there an order or decree?"

Zhang Zhengquan said with a neither humble nor overbearing expression, as did the dozen or so people around him, without the fear in Zhou Qianhu's eyes, he asked directly.

"According to His Majesty's orders, go to the Imperial College to arrest someone!"

Luo Porridge glanced at the group of people and replied coldly.

"Officer, order!"

Hearing the word Your Majesty,

The group of people breathed a sigh of relief.

……

Guozijian,
inside the school,
"His body is upright, and he does not follow orders;"

"His body is not right, even if he refuses to obey..."

Xie Wenbo was standing on the podium with a volume of books in his hands, reading leisurely. After the news about Qinghe County, he took a leave of absence to study in the Imperial College, and His Majesty personally nodded his approval.

But in order to avoid suspicion, not only did I not have direct contact with those students who participated in the parade these days, but I often came to this school to teach and explain the Analects of Confucius to other sober students in the academy who did not participate in this matter.

"This means..."

As Xie Wenbo was thinking, he suddenly stopped and did not continue.

"Wait, let's study by ourselves first."

Xie Wenbo stopped abruptly, feeling a little restless for no reason, and put down the scroll in his hand.

"Sir, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing that Xie Wenbo's expression was wrong, some students asked with concern, and the rest of the students also put down the scrolls in their hands one after another, and looked at Xie Wenbo.

"Sir, are you worried about those students who went to Suzaku Street?"

A student hesitated for a moment before asking.

"If this is the case, sir, there is no need for it!"

"You have been advising them hard for the past few days, saying that the thief is powerful and should not be an enemy, but they refused to listen. On the contrary, they became more energetic and insisted on going to the parade."

Some students said in relief.

"Ugh……"

"As the Imperial Academy's Jijiu, I don't care whether they are obedient or not, they are all my students. Although I don't say it, how can I not care about it in my heart?"

Xie Wenbo let out a long sigh.

"Sir, that's a big deal!"

"However, don't worry, although they are reckless, they are not stupid. They know how to stay at the root of the imperial city..."

The man continued to comfort him.

"Well, I hope they are safe."

"Wait, let's review yesterday's homework first,"

"The old man will take a break and come to test."

After Xie Wenbo finished speaking, he walked to the window of the school, staring at the direction of the imperial city in a daze.

For some reason, the right eyelid twitched.

……

After half an hour,
"Boom, boom, boom..."

"This is a clean and gentle place!"

"What are you Jin Yiwei doing here?"

Luo Porridge had already led the people to the gate of the Imperial College, the sound of horseshoes trampling the ground broke the peaceful atmosphere inside, there were some students who were closer to the gate, watching the barbaric Jin Yiwei barge in and reprimanded him.

"Boom..."

Unexpectedly, the leader turned a deaf ear and rode his horse directly into it. Several students who made a sound were knocked out and fell to the ground, life and death unknown.

"Ding Xiu, obey the order!"

Luo Porridge ignored the student who fell to the ground, but turned his head to look at Ding Xiudao: "You take a thousand horses and seal all the entrances and exits of the Imperial College. open area."

"All the remaining officials, follow me!"

"Officer, take orders."

The voice fell,

Ding Xiu took all the Tiqi and left.

The remaining more than a hundred officials looked at each other in blank dismay,
"Lord Luo, what do you mean?"

"Take you to the scenery!"

Luo Porridge looked at the people who came and smiled, and then he didn't explain too much, and led the doubtful people to the Imperial College. The passing students saw the scene just now, and looked at the menacing Jin Yiwei who came forward and avoided it.

"Thank you for the wine, it's not good, it's not good..."

"Jin, Jin, Jin Yiwei is here!"

While Xie Wenbo was looking out the window in a daze, there was a panicked cry from outside, and a moment later a student in a robe ran in with a panicked expression.

"Jin Yiwei, what are they doing here?"

Xie Wenbo frowned.

"Students don't know, they only care about driving people away, and now most of the students outside have been driven together by them, and they are now coming here."

"Don't panic!"

"Have you ever seen who is leading the team?"

Xie Wenbo was shocked when he heard the sound, but his expression did not change at all. He stretched out his hand to support the student and asked in a deep voice.

"It's that dog thief Luo Porridge who personally led the people here..."

The man took a few breaths before speaking clearly.

"Luo porridge?"

"Why did he come here?"

Xie Wenbo doubted, logically speaking, it is the time of the morning court, and he should be explaining to His Majesty the crimes he committed in the past two days.

"Sir, let's go!"

"Students see that they are not kind, if they drag on, it will be too late..."

The man panicked.

"Walk?"

"Where are you going?"

Xie Wenbo shook his head and said.

"Sir, could it be that the things about those classmates angered His Majesty, so he was sent to fetch people?"

A student asked.

"It's also possible."

"If this is the case, I can't leave anymore. If the old man leaves as the sacrificial wine of the Imperial College, will those students be placed in various places?"

Xie Wenbo said righteously, but he already had calculations in his heart. At this juncture, there is a high probability that His Majesty sent him to question people, so there is no need to worry too much.

"Don't worry sir!"

"I will testify for Mr.!"

"The matter on Suzaku Street has nothing to do with Mister."

Everyone said in unison.

"Well, don't be impatient."

"When that person comes, before His Majesty, the old man will confront him in court..."

Looking at the students below, Xie Wenbo inexplicably felt a lot more at ease. He could put aside the matter of Suzaku Street. As for the matter of the academy, Cai Mingqi was dead.

"The old man will wait for him here!"

After all,

Xie Wenbo returned to the podium and sat up. The students below also crowded around him, facing the door in full force.

"Boom..."

A quarter of an hour later, the gate of the school was kicked open, and more than a dozen Jinyiwei officials filed in. The leader was a Jinyiwei Qianhu who was wearing a yanling knife.

"Everyone get out of here!"

Zhou Qianhu was the first to shout after entering the room. He was working so hard at this time because he wanted to make a good image in front of Luo Congee and restore his image at the banquet.

"you……"

Some people couldn't help but open their mouths when they saw that the visitor was so arrogant.

"Don't talk too much, just do it."

Xie Wenbo patted the student on the shoulder and shook his head.

"Humph!"

After hearing the sound, the student snorted at Zhou Qianhu but didn't say much, and led a group of students out, Xie Wenbo followed behind with his head buried.

"and many more!"

"You are the Imperial Academy Jijiu, Xie Wenbo?"

Luo Porridge waited outside the door, looking at the middle-aged man in a long robe with an extraordinary bearing. He narrowed his eyes and asked, nothing more than other things. The appearance of this man was somewhat similar to that of Xie Wenyuan, so he asked this question.

"The old man is Xie Wenbo."

"I don't know Master Luo, why are you here?"

"If it's because of what happened recently, I think there is still some misunderstanding in it. When I meet the Holy Majesty, the next official will naturally make it clear..."

Xie Wenbo stopped walking when he heard the sound, knowing that he would not be able to fish in troubled waters, he cupped his hands and said calmly.

"It saves a lot of searching effort."

Looking at the still calm Xie Wenbo, Luo Congee muttered to himself, moved closer, without any hesitation, and ignored what he said, drew his knife out of its sheath, and stabbed directly at his abdomen.

The latter didn't even think that Jin Yiwei, who was just taking people just now, moved the knife in the blink of an eye. When the knife came over, the man was still in place.

"you you……"

"Ho ho..."

The knife pierced his chest and abdomen, and there was a sharp pain. Xie Wenbo couldn't stand still. He stretched out his hands and wanted to grab Luo Congee, but he just tore a corner of his clothes and fell to the ground slumped.

"Lord Luo, didn't you arrest someone by order?"

"Why do you do it directly?"

Seeing this, Qianhu named Zhang Zhengquan frowned and said.

"Oh?"

"Indeed, thank you for reminding me."

After all,

Luo Porridge leaned over and opened Xie Wenbo's left hand, pulled the corner of his clothes from between his fingers, and said, "When I was ordered to capture someone, the thief intended to resist and attack and kill me. Fortunately, I reacted in time. Dodged a fatal blow."

"In desperation, I had no choice but to draw a knife and kill the thief!"

Luo Porridge threw the corner of his front clothes to the man's face and said, "Are you satisfied with this explanation?"

"Lord Luo, you..."

The man wanted to argue about something.

"Master Zhang, stop talking!"

A colleague behind him persuaded.

"Humph!"

"Such an absurd reason!"

"I just hope that my lord can explain the past in front of His Majesty."

The man snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, I will explain it myself."

"However, you contradicted the Shangguan."

"Now I have to give the officer an explanation."

After Luo Porridge said,

With a backhand knife, he stabbed out.
"This……"

Everyone looked at Luo Porridge with disbelief in their eyes. You must know that although this person is not a high-ranking official, he is actually a man arranged by His Majesty in the Jinyiwei, as evident by the flying fish suit on his body.

"Just a flying fish suit,"

"Did it give you the confidence to contradict the Shangguan?"

Luo Porridge spoke after wiping the Xiuchun knife on Zhang Zhengquan's flying fish suit.

"Why are you still standing still?"

"Continue to work, everyone in the school will be taken away!"

Luo Porridge looked at the stunned crowd and shouted sharply.

"Your Excellency, calm down, I will do it right now..."

……

After an hour,

In an open square, the more than [-] students registered in the Imperial College have all been driven here. From a distance, the dark area is full of heads, surrounded by hundreds of elite cavalry standing with knives. The stability of the scene.

"Master Luo, you are here!"

Ding Xiu saw clearly that the coming man cupped his hands.

"Well, let's detain these people as well." Luo Porridge waved his hand and asked people to bring down the group of students he had caught in the school earlier.

"Lord Luo, this is the booklet registered by those students, with their portraits and hometowns on it..."

After all the students in the Imperial College had gathered in the square below, Ding Xiu asked people to bring out several large boxes. After opening, there were bound student records one by one.

"Ok!"

Luo Porridge looked at the big boxes and nodded. Really speaking, the registration procedures of the Guozijian are more detailed than the household registration in the yamen. It is convenient for myself.

"Zhou Qianhu, where is it?"

"Your officer, here we are."

"You compare their school records with these papers, separate out the students whose names are recorded on them, and stand to the left, while the rest stay where they are."

After finishing speaking, Luo Porridge popped out a few notebooks full of people's names from his arms and handed them to the latter.

"Sir, what do you mean?"

Zhou Qianhu took the notebook and said in doubt.

"The people on the left are all killed!"

Luo Congee said indifferently.

"All...killed?"

Zhou Qianhu heard his legs trembling and said.

"My lord, this..."

"Does it have to be so?"

Zhou Qianhu recalled that Zhang Zhengquan, who had just died, still didn't dare to refute, let alone mention the word "Your Majesty".

"Is there no other choice?"

After Zhou Qianhu managed to stabilize his mind, he said sadly, you must know that the names of these people are densely written on these few papers, and it seems that there are more than 1000 people, which means that more than half of this Guozijian will be slaughtered.

"Of course there is a choice."

"They will die later, or you will die now!"

Halfway through Luo Porridge's words, his eyes fell on Qinglong. The latter, who immediately realized it, suddenly took a picture of Daming's fourteenth gesture, and a steel knife used for execution had already popped out, and he held it in his hand.

"Don't say it, I'm not humane."

"You choose for yourself."

Luo Porridge patted the latter's cheek and said with a smile.

"This……"

Everyone heard the sound and glanced at the murderous Qinglong beside him, without any doubt, as long as they dared to say "no", the steel knife would fall down.

"Official, official...take orders!"

Zhou Qianhu gritted his teeth, and the last illusion in his heart was shattered. At this time, he still didn't understand that Luo Porridge was taking revenge for what happened at the dinner that day, forcing himself and others to do this thing that offended countless people and disobeyed the holy order. matter.

"Let's do it all!"

From the corner of Zhou Qianhu's eyes fell on the dozen or so Jin Yiwei with unfamiliar faces, and his mind was a little more stable. At least now, there is still a glimmer of vitality in the action. If they want to come here, they will definitely report to His Majesty afterwards, and wait for others All are coerced, and may not die.

After all,

Zhou Qianhu took the booklet in one hand and the Yanling knife in the other and walked down the square first. Seeing this, hundreds of Jinyiwei officials behind him could only bite the bullet and followed behind with the boxes for recording student status, and began to count name.

At noon,

When the noon sun shines,
The students on the square were clearly separated, there were only four to five hundred people on the right side, while the students on the left side occupied most of the square.

"Lord Luo, we have been separated."

Zhou Qianhu trotted to Luo Porridge and said.

"Go ahead."

Luo Porridge nodded.

"promise!"

Zhou Qianhu took a deep breath and rushed into the crowd with a knife in hand. The remaining hundreds of officials also gritted their teeth and took orders.

Standing on the high platform and watching, I saw that Yanling knives were constantly falling on the square, throats were constantly being cut, and there were wailing and exclamation one after another.

Luo Porridge just stood on the high platform and watched coldly, without much pity in his heart, they were just a group of people who had lost their minds long ago, and only knew about some pedantic people who took fame and fortune, how could they be worthy of being upright? Called a scholar?

If you die, you die...

A true scholar should be, as Zhang Zai said, to establish a heart for the world, to establish a life for the people, to inherit the knowledge of the past saints, and to create peace for all generations.

Although these four lines have been used to death by the protagonists of countless novels who have traveled through the ancient times in their previous lives, they are still deafening when they are heard suddenly.

Luo Porridge admired that kind of scholar from the bottom of his heart.

of course,

Even if such a scholar stood in front of him,
They can only swing their knives at each other.

Maybe after today,

It seems that he has become the biggest villain in the world,

All will stand against themselves,

But what's the matter?

After I sit in that position,

They will be horrified to find out,
The villains, the villains, turned out to be themselves...

……

imperial city,

hall,

"Why hasn't there been any news..."

Zhu Ming was a little restless in the dragon chair. It was already past noon, and even the morning court was almost over. Logically speaking, there should be a reply.

"Cao Zhengchun, where are you?"

Zhu Ming became more and more uneasy and said to the outside of the hall,

"His Majesty!"

Cao Zhengchun fell to his knees in the tunnel.

"Lead someone to the Imperial College right away to see what the hell that Luo is up to. It's been several hours, but there's still no news coming back!"

"Old slave, lead the order!"

Cao Zhengchun retreated respectfully.

"and many more!"

"Bring all the backbone fans from the East Factory..."

Just when Cao Zhengchun retreated to the door, Zhu Ming had a bad premonition in a trance, and added another sentence by accident: "If there is a transgression, I allow you to make your own decision, cut it first and then play it!"

"Luo porridge, Luo porridge!"

"Zhen, I have already done my best to you!"

After Cao Zhengchun left, Zhu Ming patted the armrest of the dragon chair and murmured brokenly, with an inexplicable sneer in his eyes as he murmured: "You must not do anything to make things difficult for me. Things are coming..."

……

Guozijian,
on the square,
Already blood flowed like a river,
Hundreds of people fell under the Yanling knife.

"Call..."

Luo Congee took a look at the sky, then abruptly looked away, called the horse, turned over and sat on the horse's back, now, it's done, and there is no need to stare here.

"Ding Xiu, remember, when the students here are almost dead, you immediately take Qinglong and all the Jinyiwei Tiqi, and all retreat outside the Imperial Prison, keep a distance, and stare at them to death."

Luo Congee ordered after thinking for a moment.

"What about you, Master Luo?"

Hearing the sound, Ding Xiu also understood what Luo Congee meant, and looked at Luo Congee who was on the horseback and planned to leave now and said doubtfully.

"Although it was the rebel surnamed Xie who committed the murder first, forcing these confidantes of this official to look down on it and kill so many people, but in the end it still violated the holy will."

"No matter what I say, I can't escape the charge of lax control..."

"Naturally, you have to enter the palace immediately,"

"Apologize to Your Majesty!"

Luo Porridge laughed at himself,

"Ding Xiu, you forgot."

"All of you shall keep your knives free from blood!"

Luo Porridge turned his horse's head and explained in a deep voice.

"Lord Luo, don't worry!"

"Well, I'm leaving first!"

After Luo Porridge finished speaking, without any hesitation, he whipped his horse and galloped towards the imperial city all alone.

……

Three quarters in the noon,

"hiss……"

When Cao Zhengchun led the people to the Imperial College, the square was already full of corpses, and hundreds of Jinyiwei officials were covered in blood, holding Yanling sabers in their hands, and walked towards the last dozen students in the left corner .

Maybe it was because of killing too many people, his nerves were numb, his expression was in a trance, and he didn't notice the group of Dongchang fans who had rushed over.

"call……"

"What a big dog!"

Seeing this, Cao Zhengchun's eyes also flashed a bit of surprise, not because so many people died, but because he didn't expect that the gift Luo Porridge mentioned a few days ago was so big, but he didn't keep his mouth idle Pointing at a group of Jinyiwei officials, he shouted sharply.

"Your Majesty ordered Commander Luo to come here to arrest people, but you actually disobeyed Shangyi's will and disobeyed the Holy Will..."

Cao Zhengchun didn't wait for Fanzi behind him to speak,
Take the lead in determining the nature of the matter.

"Eunuch Cao, what should we do?"

Someone behind him said in surprise.

"Kill them all!"

Cao Zhengchun flicked his whisk and gritted his teeth.

"promise!"

The hundreds of fans behind heard the sound, but they responded without any hesitation. After all, the purpose set by Dongchang was to deal with Jin Yiwei. Now that so many credits are in front of them, why would they hesitate? They rushed in directly.

"Clang..."

"Eunuch Cao, you are finally here..."

The shouting came closer,

Jin Yiwei, who woke up suddenly, saw Cao Zhengchun clearly, dropped the Yanling Saber in his hand with a bang, and ran towards Cao Zhengchun as if seeing a savior.

"Eunuch Cao, we are His Majesty's heart..."

But just halfway through the run, Cao Zhengchun had already arrived in front of him before the words came out of his mouth. Without the expected scene, Cao Zhengchun slapped his temple directly and said: "Killing so many students from the Imperial College, It really is His Majesty's confidant, serious trouble!"

"Eunuch Cao, don't do anything, we have..."

Seeing this, the rest of the dozen or so people hurriedly took it out of their pockets, there should be some badge to identify them.

"not good!"

"The thief wants to use a hidden weapon!"

When Cao Zhengchun saw this, he really exclaimed, and immediately, he didn't hold back his hands, and the pure internal energy accumulated in the Tianmao Boy Kungfu that he had practiced for 50 years gushed out, instantly shocking those 11 people until they vomited blood.

"Remember, cut off their heads for our family, take them back and return them to His Majesty..."

……

In front of Suzaku Street,

Luo Porridge casually tore off a thorny twig from a falling tree, and when he reached the end of the long street, he had already taken off his bloody python robe. go.

"Master Luo, you are..."

When we reached the Meridian Gate,

An old eunuch came by order and asked aloud,
"Chen, Luo Congee, come here to accept the crime!"

Luo Porridge ignored it and continued to move forward until he reached the position where he could see the main hall with his head up. Then he knelt down in front of the long white marble steps and said in a deep voice.

at this time,

Zhu Ming and all the civil and military officials have already walked out of the hall, standing on the high platform at the end of the long steps,
"What's your fault?"

Looking at the thin figure below, Zhu Ming asked in a cold voice, last time he knelt down in this position because he slaughtered the Xie family in Qinghe County, this time he was so humble, what kind of crime did he commit? The bottom of my heart has already vaguely guessed the worst result.

"Report to Your Majesty, the Imperial College, it's gone..."

Few numbers came out,

As if the sky fell apart,

Zhu Ming's body was a little staggering, holding on to the warm white marble railing with both hands, he barely fell down, but the officials beside him were indeed paralyzed, and he was even more out of breath, and passed out directly, he was always stable Li Zhijie, who has experienced honor and disgrace for several dynasties, also staggered and half-stretched on the railing, barely falling down the thousands of steps.

"call……"

Zhu Ming suppressed the feeling of dizziness in his head, grasped the railing tightly with both hands, and fixed his eyes on the figure kneeling outside the palace gate.

He didn't intend to convict him at all, he was still waiting, waiting for the definite news from Dongchang, and he still had the last illusion in his heart.

"His Majesty,"

"Eunuch Cao is back..."

After an unknown amount of time, a notification came from outside the palace,

"crunch, crunch..."

The first thing that caught my eye was not the students I was looking forward to from the China Academy, nor the smiling and respectful elderly figure on weekdays, but a carriage full of people.

Zhu Ming staggered down the steps, staring blankly at the familiar heads. Many of them were the guards in front of the palace, so they could be recognized at a glance.

Now the head appears on this carriage,

The result is self-evident,

Zhu Ming's last sliver of illusion was shattered, and his somewhat distracted eyes wandered back and forth between the bloody heads in the carriage next to Cao Zhengchun, and the group of officials behind him who hadn't recovered from their sluggishness.

"How ridiculous?"

There was a bit of sadness in Zhu Ming's smile.

"This is full of civil and military affairs, and the princes of Gungun are no match for an eggless eunuch!"

Finally, Zhu Ming couldn't help but looked up to the sky and sighed.

"Send my will!"

"The admiral of the East Police Factory, Cao Zhengchun, has made great contributions to eliminating the internal strife of the Jinyiwei pro-army, and took the post of governor of the Chinese army..."

"As for you, Luo Congee!"

"The commander of the capital of the Jinyi Guards..."

"Take it to Dongchang Prison!"

With a pale complexion, Zhu Ming squeezed out a word from between his teeth.
