As soon as Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the four Jinyiwei seized Chen Yuanren and Zheng Jingshi and dragged them to the open space beside him.

Chen Yuanren panicked on the spot. He didn't expect Emperor Zhu Houzhao to be so ruthless and continued to shout: "Your Majesty, please spare me! I really didn't say anything disrespectful to Ma Gefu, I don't!"

Zhu Houzhao was too lazy to pay attention to Chen Yuanren.

And the Censor Zheng also felt very wronged and hurriedly shouted: "Your Majesty, I am really wronged! I have not insulted Ma Gefu! Ma Gefu, please testify, please ask Your Majesty for us!"

Ma Wensheng turned around and bowed to Zhu Houzhao, but before he spoke, Zhu Houzhao waved his hand to stop Ma Wensheng: "No need to say that, I will never spare my affairs today, otherwise wouldn't all the subjects use my words as jokes in the future? Those who dare to plead for them will be considered as guilty of the above! Beat me! Beat me hard!"

Ma Wensheng did not advise him anymore. After all, he was pointed at the nose and scolded him as a treacherous minister. He would be a little angry as long as he was not a clay sculpture. Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao issued an order to kill Chen Yuanren and others, he was considered to be full of righteousness. Now Zhu Houzhao has clearly stopped him from pleading with love and has also issued a warning. Naturally, he would not risk being against Zhu Houzhao to plead for these people who humiliated him.

Even though Zhu Houzhao's behavior is now rough and ruthless, Ma Wensheng, as a civil servant, has to show helplessness and pain, he is still very satisfied and grateful to the emperor for supporting him. Therefore, Ma Wensheng no longer cared about Chen Yuanren and the Censor Zheng who were beaten by the stick.

Jiao Fang and Xu Jin also remained silent. Although they dare not say on the surface that you beat him well, they are also willing to see His Majesty the Emperor beat an official who dared to rebel against him for his own stick. This undoubtedly greatly boosts his face.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

Heavy sticks hit Chen Yuanren and Zheng Jingshi one by one, making them fly with blood and scream!

Every stick hit Chen Yuanren and Zheng Jingshi, and the group of Qingliu civil servants kneeling in front of Zhu Houzhao couldn't help but tremble.

At this moment, they were all very scared!

At this time, they didn't dare to speak anymore!

At this time, they all just want to leave here quickly and leave this cold and scary place!

At this time, Chen Yuanren and Zheng Jingshi were all beaten to death on the spot.

The three corpses were lying horizontally in the snow and ice, in front of a group of Qingliu civil servants, in front of Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang and Xu Jin.

Zhu Houzhao walked to Ma Wensheng and others and came: "This kind of person who gathers people outside the palace to make trouble and humiliate you, why should you be polite? Just call the guards to beat you directly, but you are not in the palace. So what if you are beaten to death outside the palace gate? Remember not to be so cowardly next time. You have me behind you and the people of the world behind you, what are you afraid of! You are my ministers, not their ministers. If you want to be powerful ministers, you have to be a little cruel!"

Zhu Houzhao's words were obviously deliberately favoring Ma Wensheng and others. The group of Qingliu civil servants were shocked when they heard this. They also knew that Ma Wensheng and others were indeed the Holy Family, Zhenglong, who could not afford to provoke him. Naturally, they also had a deeper hatred and jealousy towards Ma Wensheng and others. However, these Qingliu civil servants did not dare to show it at this time.

Ma Wensheng and others knew that they were being roasted by His Majesty on fire. His Majesty Zhu Houzhao wanted to force him to break up with the Qingliu civil servants completely, but they were in a difficult situation at this time and could only let Zhu Houzhao make such arrangements. After all, they were already disliked by the Qingliu civil servants group and could only unite around His Majesty the Emperor.

At this time, the attitude expressed by Zhu Houzhao also touched Ma Wensheng and others, and they were more confident to work with Zhu Houzhao. As for the resentment of the Qingliu civil officials, they couldn't care much. Since ancient times, the strong have been respected. If they don't unite by His Majesty, would they really have to be the mouthpiece of all officials?

The Qingliu civil officials knew that pleading for Li Dongyang is impossible. After all, three of them have been beaten to death, so how could they dare to anger Long Yan?

"If Your Majesty has not given other instructions, I will sue you!"

At this time, a Qingliu civil servant bowed to Zhu Houzhao first.

"I'm going to leave!"

Immediately afterwards, other Qingliu civil officials also bowed and bowed one after another.

Zhu Houzhao immediately shouted: "Stop!"

A group of Qingliu civil servants who had been scared long ago hurriedly stood up, feeling anxious and wondered if they couldn't leave anymore?

"How can you leave when you gather together outside the palace gate?"

Zhu Houzhao said and looked at Jiao Fang: "What's the matter with them gathering here?"

"Report to Your Majesty, they came to plead for Li Dongyang," Jiao Fang replied truthfully.

Zhu Houzhao nodded: "That's Li Dongyang's party. Li Dongyang's affairs are involved in rebellion and murder of the monarch. Naturally, his party cannot be spared easily. He even dares to gather people to cause trouble. All of them are sent to the imperial prison and will be dealt with after the trial!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, the Qingliu civil servants present were all surprised. They did not expect that they would be sent to the imperial prison. They almost couldn't help but kneel down and kowtow to beg for mercy!

This is really incredible for them!

They thought that if they didn't gather to make trouble outside the palace gate, the matter of leaving directly was over, but they didn't expect that they would not be able to leave now. As long as they gathered to make trouble and pleaded for Li Dongyang, they would be sent to the imperial prison and were regarded as a co-party of Li Dongyang's lord murder and plot against rebellion!

What is Your Majesty doing? Isn’t this going to create a major case?

All the Qingliu civil officials were completely stunned. They didn't expect that Emperor Zhu Houzhao would play like this, be so cruel and ruthless!

But at this moment, they could only shout that they were innocent and could only beg for mercy!

"Your Majesty! I have no intention of offending you, why did you lock me up?"

"Your Majesty! Are you going to leave a reputation for eternity?"

"Your Majesty! Are you going to be a tyrant?"

...

but.

Zhu Houzhao didn't listen to these things at this time. He wanted to give these civil servants a long memory so that they could know that the emperor was not as gentle as you are, and that the emperor was essentially a butcher! He was the dictator who was in charge of life and death and seized power!

On the contrary, Ma Wensheng, Jiao Fang and Xu Jin all looked panicked at this moment.

Ma Wensheng said directly: "Your Majesty, please calm down! Such a large-scale arrest of officials will cause shock to the court and the country! All officials will not accept it! If the world is in chaos, it will be even worse for the country and the country of the Ming Dynasty! I risk my life to ask Your Majesty to take back Cheng's orders and let them go back!"

"Your Majesty, what Ma Gefu said is very true. There is no clear evidence of Li Dongyang and other regicides. If you rashly start a major case, you may cause a big mess. After all, it is not during the Hongwu period. Please think twice!"

Jiao Fang also hurriedly persuaded him. He thought that His Majesty would only kill a few civil officials to scare him, but he did not expect that His Majesty would not only kill a few civil officials but also arrest all the troublemakers into the Jinyiwei. Although the military power is in the hands of His Majesty, it is difficult to guarantee that these officials will not go to find any vassal kings or even the Tartars outside the Great Wall if they are forced to do anything.

"Your Majesty, these people are abominable, but the rashness of being sent to the imperial prison at this moment may lead to chaos. I also beg Your Majesty to endure it for the time being, and it is not appropriate to destroy the friendship between the monarch and the minister!"

Xu Jin also hurriedly persuaded him.

Zhu Houzhao knew that they were right, but Zhu Houzhao didn't say anything. He just wanted to try it now, and wanted to delay time, so he went to the Ganqing Palace without looking back.

At this time, Ma Wensheng seemed to be anxious and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, if you don't take back Cheng's life, the old minister can only kneel down here for a long time!"

As he said that, Ma Wensheng indeed knelt down.
Chapter completed!
