Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 343 Angrily Kicking Shi Kefa

Fan Jingwen, the chief assistant of the cabinet, left the Qianqing Palace. He knew what he was doing, and he knew that his actions had angered His Majesty, but he had no choice but to do so, even though he knew that Gu Lin might be really guilty. The officials really have ulterior motives, but as the head of civil servants, he must make a statement. It is his principle not to let Dongchang's hand stretch too far.

"Shou Kui, you said that His Majesty will really ban Dongchang in ten years?"

Liu Zongzhou, a scholar of Dongge University and Minister of Rites, asked Fan Jingwen.

Qi Biaojia laughed first: "Who can predict what will happen ten years later, as your majesty said, if we press each other hard at this time, we will really become treacherous ministers who harm the country and the people. Jiannu, there are Zhang thieves in the west, and there are many people with ulterior motives in the court, what happened today, you and I are a little unwise!"

"Your Majesty is nothing more than holy. As for the matter of Dongchang, there is no need to mention it in the future. Let's talk about it ten years later." Fan Jingwen said something dejectedly, and then laughed helplessly: "It's time to take the initiative to submit your resignation and return to your hometown to rest." .

……

At this time, it began to rain outside.

Nuoda's Forbidden City is full of needle-threaded raindrops flying around.

Zhu Youjian stood solemnly in the outer hall and watched Fan Jingwen and other civil servants walking towards the outside of the palace step by step in the wind and rain.

"Just now, these civil servants threatened me. If Ma Shiying was here, would they do the same? If the elders Yan Ge and Xu Ge of the Sejong Dynasty were in power, would they be the same?"

Zhu Youjian slammed his fist on the Panlong Golden Pillar while speaking, Chen Yuanyuan put the cloak on Zhu Youjian's shoulders, and did not answer Zhu Youjian's words: "Your Majesty, your dragon robe is wet, please go back to the house Bar!"

Zhu Youjian turned around, but Shi Kefa, Wang Chengen, Han Shoujing, and He Xin were still kneeling on the ground. As internal ministers, they naturally had no reason to leave.

However, when he thought of the fact that Shi Kefa joined forces with Fan Jingwen and others to force him to kill Wang Chengen just now, Zhu Youjian kicked towards Shi Kefa directly, and kept kicking like this, Shi Kefa didn't say a word, and just stood next to him, but Wang Chengen I couldn't stand it any longer, and hurriedly hugged Zhu Youjian's thigh: "Your Majesty! Shi Gong is loyal to His Majesty even though he is wrong in every way. Please calm down your majesty, and don't hurt yourself because of anger."

"You let go. He just joined forces with foreign officials to threaten me and threaten me to kill you. He is a traitor in the inner court. If our Ming Dynasty is defeated due to internal strife, he Shi Kefa will be the biggest minister who harmed the country! He will harm thousands of people! The traitor of Li Shu under the butcher knife of the Tartars! Do you know that you still plead for him!"

Zhu Youjian kicked Wang Chengen back directly, and yelled at Wang Chengen.

Although Zhu Youjian yelled at Wang Chengen, Shi Kefa was sobbing at this moment, turned around, and yelled: "Your Majesty, you are embarrassing me!"

"No place to be ashamed, it's clear that you made me feel ashamed, Shi Kefa, tell me the truth, do you still hate me, hate me for letting you, a high-ranking Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, become a great eunuch in the inner court, tell me, do you wish for me? If you die sooner, I wish that Da Ming would be defeated by me, and that the Qing Dynasty would unify the world, so that you can fulfill your reputation as a loyal minister!"

Zhu Youjian yelled hysterically, expressing all the deepest guilt and concern for Shi Kefa in his heart, and took advantage of the opportunity to draw the knife from He Xin: "In this case, I will kill you simply, and all of you In the name of loyalty and integrity, I am not afraid of the name of killing Zhongliang without authorization!"

"His Majesty!"

Wang Chengen stood in front of Shi Kefa again at this time, and at this time Han Shoujing also came over on his knees: "Your Majesty, please calm down, you can't kill Shi Gong! Shi Gong has no second thoughts, slaves can be pledged with their heads!"

……

Shi Kefa also raised his head: "Your Majesty! Please tell me, I have never had the heart to hold grudges against Your Majesty, and I have never thought of letting Your Majesty become the king of subjugation. I know that I have contradicted Your Majesty today and offended you." Sheng Yan, I deserve death for my crimes, if you don't bother His Majesty to do it yourself, I will go home and kill myself."

With that said, Shi Kefa kowtowed to Zhu Youjian.

But at this time, Wang Chengen suddenly slapped Shi Kefa on the face: "Shi Kefa, you bastard, you first cooperated with foreign officials to kill Wang, and now you want to commit suicide to your majesty, what are you thinking!"

"I, I", Shi Kefa was stunned by Wang Chengen's slap, and didn't know what to say.

……

He Xin, the seal of the Imperial Horse Supervisor, came over at this time: "Your Majesty, please make an order, I will lead the second army of the Guards to kill all these rebellious officials and thieves!",

When He Xin said in a cold voice, he glanced at Shi Kefa. He was neither Wang Chengen nor Han Shoujing. He had experienced the situation of being suppressed by civil officials with Zhu Youjian, so he had never had a good impression of civil officials. It's better to kill them all.

Han Shoujing tugged on La Hexin's sleeve: "Be careful, this is not the 17th year of Chongzhen. People are easy to kill, but my Ming's rigid spine is about to be broken."

……

"Except for Shi Kefa, all the rest have retreated." Zhu Youjian couldn't help but smiled wryly. Now that he is firmly established, he really can't be as ruthless and decisive as Chongzhen was in 17 years. At this time, he is indeed He was afraid that if he continued to slaughter willfully, he would really break Daming's back, and would really force the gentry to stand on the side of Manqing, so he had no choice but to suppress all the anger in his heart at this time, slumped Sighing deeply, he waved his hand and walked inside.

However, when Zhu Youjian passed by Shi Kefa, he still ordered: "Kneel outside the hall and reflect on yourself!"

"Your Majesty, the rain is so heavy, let Shigong go to kneel outside the palace, and the courtiers outside are also drenched in the rain. If you get sick, it will be a loss for the country!"

When Wang Chengen said this, Zhu Youjian sneered: "It would be good if they were drenched to death, and the country would have fewer disasters! Just let them drench!"

Wang Chengen knew that Zhu Youjian was angry, so he couldn't persuade him anymore, but Shi Kefa knelt outside the hall, and Fan Jingwen and others also returned home in the rain.

Zhu Youjian sat alone in front of the mirror in a daze, while Chen Yuanyuan stood behind Zhu Youjian and carefully rubbed Zhu Youjian's wet black hair with a handkerchief.

"It turns out that being an emperor can't be willful," Zhu Youjian said involuntarily.

Chen Yuanyuan knew that Zhu Youjian was in a bad mood, but as a court lady, she didn't know how to comfort her, but she couldn't ignore Zhu Youjian, so she could only reply in a strange way:

"Didn't Your Majesty tell them all just now? Everything will have to wait ten years later, maybe it will be less than ten years. After another year or two, Your Majesty will be able to be a willful emperor, and Your Majesty, you are now You are the master of the world, although you can't do whatever you want outside, but this harem is your majesty's home, and you are the head of this family, no one dares to disobey your will."

"is it?"

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly, and suddenly shouted coldly: "Take it off!"

Chen Yuanyuan was taken aback for a moment, and immediately understood what Zhu Youjian meant, and began to unbutton her skirt.
