People live in the Ming Dynasty, evil spirits are soaring into the sky

Chapter 108 Cao Zhengchun! kill! ! Anyone who stands in the way of my and Chen Aiqing's reform will die! !

As soon as this sentence came out, those who wanted to find trouble were immediately put into trouble.

They didn't expect this result.

Logically speaking, doesn't the emperor believe that I am the son of heaven?

Even though Emperor Wanli is only ten years old.

When Zhang Juzheng was a student, he must have told him that you are the crown prince of the Ming Dynasty, and you will exercise the rights of the emperor on behalf of God in the future.

Therefore, you must respect heaven and love the people, and know the way to be a king.

It was precisely because they had understood the education the emperor had received since childhood that they burned the warehouse to warn the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Wanli had the opposite idea.

Of course, because the current emperor is actually Chen Han himself.

As a staunch materialist, he does not believe in God.

Even if no one set the fire, it might be because the weather was dry and the fire started naturally, which is also a normal weather phenomenon.

Not to mention the obvious element of arson.

He shouted loudly and wanted to drag out those ministers who blamed the emperor for the leakage for investigation. The officials below were stunned.

Some officials even stood up directly: "Your Majesty, this is a warning from God, no one set the fire.

Since ancient times, wise kings will reflect on their own gains and losses in such matters, and strictly investigate whether there is anything wrong with the past employment! "

Emperor Wanli said directly: "Why don't you just say that Chen Aiqing, the governor of Zhejiang Province in the southeast, is a treacherous minister, and you are all loyal ministers? There is so much nonsense!"

The officials did not expect Emperor Wanli to react so quickly.

But when the words were said, an official stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chen Han has not made any achievements since he has been in the southeast for a month. On the contrary, he has harassed the gentry in the southeast.

He even beheaded innocent people in front of the people. "

Emperor Wanli asked directly, "Who do you think are innocent in your eyes? Tell me, I'm very interested!"

The official then said bravely, "Take the family survivors who were plundered by pirates and Japanese pirates.

They were lucky enough to survive being plundered by pirates and wanted to return to their home fields, but how did Chen Han do it?

Not only did he not return those fields to the survivors, but he beheaded those innocent people in front of many innocent people.

The purpose was to warn the remaining members of the murdered family that they would not dare to ask for land from him.

By taking the property of those families as his own without authorization, he violated the laws of the court and disgraced the court.

Your Majesty, the southeast is our Ming Dynasty's most important tax territory. If anything happens in the southeast, it will definitely have a serious impact on our Ming Dynasty. Your Majesty, please act with caution. "

Emperor Wanli sneered, "But I heard that Chen Aiqing distributed all the confiscated landowners' property and fields to the people, and the people praised me as the Holy Son of Heaven.

Besides, your information is quite good. I know that the confiscated fields were distributed to the people, but what does those people have to do with you? "

The official was silent in cold sweat, and an official immediately stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, no matter what the situation is? He Chen Han violated the laws of the Ming Dynasty by distributing the confiscated land to the people on the spot without authorization.

When the property of a criminal or a criminal is seized, it must first be treated as criminal property and returned to the Ministry of Household Affairs, instead of being distributed to the people on the spot by the criminal himself.

If everyone acts like an official, wouldn't it be a mess? Ming Dynasty has its own laws, how can we allow him to have the final say alone? "

Emperor Wanli said again: "According to your opinion, the land annexed by the landlords should not be returned to the people, but should be returned to you, the local landlords?"

The official fell silent again upon hearing this.

Why does the current emperor never play tricks?

This is too much on Chen Han's side.

Although they have already experienced this once, this time it was because of official business.

And it still concerns world affairs.

Emperor Wanli stood up and said loudly: "Do you think that little Jiujiu of yours doesn't know? Chen Aiqing is dealing with those landlords in the southeast. You either feel that everyone is in danger, or you feel the pain. I don't care what you think, now I I just want to tell you that anyone who blocks the path of reform for me and Chen Aiqing will die!!

Cao Zhengchun, show them your trump card! ! "

When the officials heard what Emperor Wanli said, they felt their buttocks shrink.

They knew very well what kind of person Cao Zhengchun was.

Although they feel that what they have done is very appropriate, there is always a gap in the secret.

If Cao Zhengchun got caught, wouldn't everything be over?

After Cao Zhengchun stood up, he narrowed his eyes and scanned all the officials at the scene.

Then he snorted coldly, "Some people thought that no one would know about setting fire to the warehouse, and they even believed the rumors from the eunuchs and maids in the palace that a eunuch was burned to death.

Now our family will tell you that these are the news that our family deliberately released.

Isn't the eunuch who was burned to death the same one among you who spent a lot of money to bribe him? "

As he spoke, Cao Zhengchun clapped his hands, and the iron locks clanked outside.

Then the officers saw a bruised man being dragged in.

The man was dragged in and thrown into the main hall.

He was covered in injuries and was already dying.

Cao Zhengchun walked down the steps and walked to the middle of the civil and military officials. He looked around at them. His voice was very gentle, but every word he spoke was like a steel needle pricking the hearts of each of them.

"It's a coincidence that this person was rescued by our family. He confessed that he set fire to the warehouse and it was someone among you who instigated it.

As for why he did this, it was simply that someone outside heard that he was diagnosed with a terminal illness by the imperial doctor a few days ago, so they gave him a glimmer of hope.

It was said that his younger brother was allowed to be promoted to the fifth grade magistrate of Shanxi.

This poor guy felt that he had no hope in life, so he pinned all his hopes on his younger brother and agreed to your request to burn down the warehouse.

We will give you a chance to stand up on your own initiative. We can intercede on your behalf in front of His Majesty and your crime will be reduced.

If you don't stand up and have to take you out personally, it will be a serious crime of confiscating your family and exterminating your family. Think about it yourself. "

Some officials in the crowd could hardly stand.

They knew the eunuch, and since Cao Zhengchun caught Dongchang and Jinyiwei's tricks, they would never allow a eunuch to refuse to confess.

But people always like to take chances, thinking that they will definitely not be recognized.

After a while, no one came forward.

Emperor Wanli said directly, "Cao Zhengchun, since they don't want to give you the chance, I allow you to execute those stubborn ones on the spot."

Cao Zhengchun cupped his fists and raised his hands, and then looked at Zhang Juzheng and others in surprise.

Cao Zhengchun arrived in front of the Minister of Works at lightning speed.

"Shilang Yang, it looks like you are really tired of living!!"

The Minister of Works fell to his knees on the ground, and then he began to plead for mercy.

"Spare your life! Your Majesty, please spare your life!"

I am wrong, I know I am wrong! ! "

Emperor Wanli shouted, "You only realize your mistake now. It's too late. Take action!"

Cao Zhengchun took a step forward, curled his fingers into claws, and used his strong internal energy to hit the Minister of Works on the head.

With a pop, there were no superficial wounds on the head of the Minister of Industry, but the brain inside was shattered with one palm.

Immediately, blood flowed from Qiqiao, and he fell down on the main hall with a bang. He couldn't die any more...
