Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1123 Zhuzhi

  Wu Kuan prostrated himself on the ground, speechless.

   If talking about lip service, one hundred successes will not be Wu Kuan's opponent.

But…

   After Chang Cheng finished speaking, his mood gradually calmed down.

  Emperor Hongzhi's mood fluctuated.

  He was furious, pointed at Chang Cheng and said, "Wu Kuan, I'll ask you again, this Chang Cheng, is he a traitor?"

   "Your Majesty... Your Majesty..." Wu Kuan just wept.

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "There are many such treacherous officials. In this workshop, there are Zhao Shiqian, Lao Wang, and Xiao Zhang...Out of this workshop, there are tens of thousands of such treacherous officials. You Wu Kuan Is it a loyal minister, is the end of the world a traitor?"

  Wu Kuan looked decadent. He couldn't imagine why such a person often hated himself so much.

  At this moment...he couldn't argue.

   "You still want to hear what these treacherous ministers said in front of me? I want to know, what kind of life do these treacherous ministers live?" Emperor Hongzhi said with blue veins on his forehead, "Do you want to know?"

   "Minister..." Wu Kuan looked around, but saw Wang Ao and the others beside him were already dripping with cold sweat, no one had the slightest sympathy for Wu Kuan anymore.

  For these ministers, Chang Cheng's words were shocking. At this moment, their hearts were already shocked.

  In this world, no one is a purely bad person, just as in this world, there must not be a purely good person. Of course...the premise is assumed...Fang Jifan must be excluded.

  Even secular people, deep down, have something called ideals.

  Even if life has wiped away this ideal, the things that have been read in the Four Books and Five Classics, the things that have touched them, are now awakened.

  Family, Country, World!

  Wang Ao knocked his head to the ground, his body trembling.

   Ma Wensheng and Zhang Sheng looked ashamed.

Yang Yiqing's eyes were full of shock, he couldn't imagine how his good governance could become like this, an inexplicable sense of shame rose from the depths of his heart, and he kept combining all the fragments of memory I think of the countless "folks" who once praised my good governance, think of the praise of countless people in the officialdom, and think of the expectations that everyone has for me in the scholarly circle. But…

  At this moment, he burst into tears, choked up and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty of death...I am the big treacherous minister, please Your Majesty...Punish!"

   All thoughts are lost!

  Emperor Hongzhi ignored Yang Yiqing, but still cast those sharp eyes on Wu Kuan.

  The more he was impressed by Wu Kuan's knowledge and admiration for his noble integrity, the more angry Emperor Hongzhi was. How did the person whom he respected at the beginning become like this!

   "Shameless!" Emperor Hongzhi said firmly.

  Hearing the word shameless, Wu Kuan's heart was already broken.

  Yang Yiqing has pleaded guilty.

   Now, can I still persist?

  He finally said to Ai Ai periodically: "My minister... ten thousand deaths!"

  Emperor Hongzhi put his hands behind his back, and when he heard the word Wansi, he just sneered again and again. He looked sideways and glanced at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, how should we deal with it?"

  This person criticized Fang Jifan, so... how to deal with it now, just listen to Fang Jifan's opinion.

  Fang Jifan said: "Your Majesty, I think that Wu Kuan, as the servant of the Ministry of officials, is a vegetarian in the position of a corpse. He refers to a deer as a horse, which is harmful to the country. I think that he should be removed from his official position to make an example of others."

   Dismissed from office...

  Wu Kuan's face was sallow.

  Dismissal...not a scholar.

Dismissal is tantamount to being dismissed, and Zhishi is because he made a mistake and asked the emperor to retire. Although he made a mistake, he cannot be punished as a doctor. In order to show his tolerance, the palace will still give Zhishi the same treatment .

   Once dismissed, there is no possibility of a comeback, and it is completely over.

  It was not easy to go from the title of the gold list to the step of being the Minister of the Ministry of officials. Wu Kuan couldn't help but looked at Fang Jifan with hatred.

  You Fang Jifan... This is to teach the old man to lose his reputation and never stand up!

  Emperor Hongzhi's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "Then, make an order!"

  In the workshop, only the voice of Emperor Hongzhi was heard.

  Emperor Hongzhi said in a cold voice: "Wu Kuan, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, I consider him a confidant, and I treat him with a generous position in the Ministry of Officials. His kindness is enough to die, and his wisdom and love are precious. Killing a living person is only in one thought..."

  Wu Kuan shivered.

  Emperor Hongzhi’s words mean how much I trusted you Wu Kuan back then, and gave you the position of Minister of the Ministry of Officials. This kind of favor is enough to make people sacrifice their lives for it, and Hui Ai can also make people miss it for a lifetime. Its power is so important that it can kill countless people and live countless people. The lives, honors and disgraces of countless people are all in your hands, Wu Kuan.

"However, since he took office, he has been self-willed and confused black and white. I still remember the words of Emperor Gaozu, the so-called subordinates are easy to abuse, but heaven is hard to bully! Even if his mistakes are tolerated by all people, I can also accommodate them, but how can heaven not tolerate them?" Huh?"

  Emperor Hongzhi's gaze was serious, and then he said word by word: "Decree: Get rid of his official position and punish him!"

   Punish it!

  In the workshop, there was an uproar.

  Wu Kuan thought it was just a dismissal, but who would have expected...it was...unexpectedly...His Majesty is even more ruthless than Fang Jifan.

  Fang Jifan shuddered at Emperor Hongzhi, what the hell, Fang Jifan is really kind!

  Wang Ao immediately said: "Your Majesty..."

Emperor Hongzhi sternly said: "Do you want to beg for mercy? I will show mercy. Those people who were murdered, those people who were insulted, hungry and cold, ragged, sick and unable to be cured, empty stomachs and no food to eat, did Wu Kuan ever say goodbye to them?" Their tolerance? If I appease this person, I will step on the body of countless Chang Cheng who is already scarred. If I don't kill Wu Kuan, how can I explain to the world, how can I... call myself a monarch, Claiming to be the Son of Heaven? Wu Kuan claims to be a ten thousand death, yes, he is a ten thousand death, death is more than a crime, death is not a pity, he asks for ten thousand deaths, let him... die! Come on!"

  Outside, Jin Wuwei's sword is out of its sheath, just waiting for orders.

   "Take it down, punish it with death, hang its head, go to Rongcheng county government, set up a list, tell all people, and count its faults in detail, so as to imitate others!"

  Wu Kuan was about to faint when he heard this.

  Ka...Ka...Ka...

  Jin Wuwei wore long boots, roared in, took his black gauze hat, took off his imperial bullfighting suit, and dragged him out.

  Wu Kuan just came to his senses... and couldn't help shouting: "Your Majesty... forgive me... Your Majesty... Back then... I was in Zhan Shifu... Your Majesty..."

   That voice has gone far away.

  In the workshop, everyone dared not show their air.

  Emperor Hongzhi's body was trembling. In his mind, why didn't he think of the scene in Zhan Shi's Mansion. At that time, he was still the prince, sitting with Wu Shi on the case, asking him for advice, and listening to his earnest teachings.

  But... Emperor Hongzhi was not moved.

  The air seemed to be full of murderous intent.

Sudden…

   "Your Majesty is holy, eradicating evil today, and letting out a sigh of relief for the people of the world. My son and minister admire me very much. Long live my emperor!"

   It was only then that everyone came to their senses.

  Zhao Shiqian and others hurriedly bowed down: "Long live my emperor!"

  They still can't imagine that the person in front of them is Mr. Zhu...

  If Mr. Zhu went to the emperor, they would not be able to accept it.

  Start...Xiao Fang...Xiao Fang, he is...Qi Guogong...

  This is a bit of a subversion of common sense.

  Yang Yiqing was terrified and kowtowed to the ground: "My minister... ten thousand deaths."

  Emperor Hongzhi only raised his eyes lightly, and suddenly said: "It's getting late."

   "..."

  Emperor Hongzhi said: "Get up, today's order must be completed!"

  Zhao Shiqian hurriedly said: "No need, no need, it doesn't matter if this order is not completed, Your Majesty... Your Majesty... The grassroots are dead, the grassroots have no eyes."

Order?

   Can you place an order at this time?

   No matter how ugly it sounds, who would dare to rush for an order?

   On the contrary, Zhao Shiqian was already terrified in his heart. The emperor looked a little scary. What did he say these days?

  Thinking about it this way, he suddenly discovered that there was not a single word he said to the emperor that meant beheading.

  Emperor Hongzhi turned around, took Fang Jifan's saw, turned around, and started sawing wood skillfully.

  The others looked at each other.

  Fang Jifan shouted: "What are you still doing, come and help."

   No one dared to hesitate anymore, everyone rose up one after another, and the workshop began to ping-pong-pong again.

  ’Emperor Hongzhi saw the wood, then went to the accounting room and began to settle accounts.

  He called Zhao Shiqian over, as if suddenly, he became that Zhu Dashou again.

  Emperor Hongzhi bowed his head and counted.

   Zhao Shiqian slapped and knelt down: "Caomin?"

  Emperor Hongzhi smiled: "I have to go back after I have recorded the number. This accountant must be handed over soon. In the future...you need to hire another accountant. Get up, today's work, today is over."

  Zhao Shiqian is still kneeling: "Caomin..."

Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "I am not a scourge. What do you do with such fear? Didn't you read "Teaching You How to Succeed" all day long? The first sentence in it is that people must have self-confidence! Look, you He is also a person with great ambitions, why... all of a sudden, he became like this?"

Zhao Shiqian looked ashamed: "The grassroots read this book again and again, but they feel that it is deceiving. What teaches people to have self-confidence, what to persevere, what... must persevere... Your Majesty, think about it, If this person learns this book, he will be successful. But how many people in this world can do it? If they can do it, they have become saints, and you still need him to teach you?"

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was taken aback, thought for a moment, and suddenly laughed: "Haha... Yes, this is a lie. Success in the world is not found in books, but at the feet of people. It is by relying on people's hands. Those who are successful do not need to be taught, and those who are not successful, what is the use of teaching? It is absurd to want to rule the world with a book, or to succeed with a book! "
