For a moment, the situation suddenly changed.

Civil officials and nobles who have been spoiled since the reign of Emperor Renzong Hong Xi, finally once again witnessed the cruelty and ruthlessness of the Zhu family. Except for Emperor Taizu Gao and Emperor Chengzu who had records of large-scale disposal of corrupt officials, no emperor could sharpen his sword and kill so many officials at once.

However, what made all the civil servants and nobles in the court despair was that they found that they had no good means to check and balance Emperor Chongzhen.

Speaking of face, Chongzhen clearly looked as if I was shameless and didn't care that he was called a tyrant or not.

Speaking of public opinion, students who read and read can calculate one. If anyone dares to jump, Emperor Chongzhen dares to kill anyone. Zhang Pu and Zhang Cai above are the best examples. For the benefit of tax exemption in their own family and the mentality of rotting the rafters first, the students cannot work together to oppose Emperor Chongzhen.

The nobles were even more obedient like sheep. Since the Tumu Fort was cheated by civil servants, the nobles were simply unable to control the army and had become borers who were all crippled and waited for death. If it weren't for the sake of being called mean and ruthless, Chongzhen would have wanted to cut all the dukes and marquises.

As for the people, there is a foundation for never giving edicts. No people believe that Emperor Chongzhen is a tyrant. An emperor who loves the people so much is a tyrant? No, it must be that the officials who have been slaughtered are not good things, and they are killed only after they are discovered by the emperor.

It was precisely because of these confidence that Emperor Chongzhen chose to take down Wen Tiren without hesitation - I don’t have golden fingers, nor do I have an old man with me, nor do I have any Baidu searches in later generations to know everything, so there is only one last choice left, so I can let the disobedient one die.

From the moment when he spoke out against himself in the court, Chongzhen actually knew that the big family that had been passed down for two thousand years had preferential treatment and no punishment in all dynasties, which were more like the big family in the country, and it was indeed not so easy to deal with.

After the sanctuary, Wen Tiren's home was in chaos. As the news that Wen Tiren was sent to prison came, the mansion suddenly became panic.

Wen Yan, the son of Wen Tiren, was quite opinionated. He stopped the panicked people and called the servant who came back to report the message and asked, "What's going on? Let's talk about it in detail."

The servant replied, "When I answered the eldest master's words, the young man didn't know the inside story. He just heard the officials and masters in the court discussing, saying that the master didn't know what he said today, which made the emperor furious, and then he put the master in the imperial prison. I'm afraid..."

Wen Yan said, "What should we do? I just issued an imperial edict and did not encircle the family to destroy the family. What are you panic? After going down, you are not allowed to gossip, otherwise you will be beaten to death by sticks. You will go down."

After everyone dispersed, Wen Yan came to Wen Tiren's study and ordered the servant to invite the distinguished guest to meet him in the study.

The distinguished guest asked him to meet Wen Yan instead of Wen Tiren. On the way he came, he saw that the mansion was also panicked. He knew that something must have happened, so he asked directly: "Young Master, what happened?"

Wen Yan said: "There was an accident in the court. My father might have angered the emperor because of last night's incident. Now he has been sentenced to prison."

The distinguished guest was shocked and said, "What happened? Don't worry, Master, Kong must run with all his heart and find a way to rescue Lord Wen."

Wen Yan smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. Kong has trouble. But as soon as he entered the imperial prison, how many people could come out in a hurry? If the emperor has not sent someone to search the house, there will be room for improvement. If the person who searched the house comes to the evening, everything will be done at that time."

But Mr. Kong frowned and said, "Young Master, don't worry. After all, you haven't reached that point yet, so just wait and see. Kong will go out to contact us to see if he can join forces to let the emperor release Lord Wen."

Wen Yan knew in his heart that he was afraid that his family would become an abandoned son. But after all, he couldn't offend the person in front of him, so he could only smile bitterly and say, "I'll have to worry about Mr. Kong in everything."

Mr. Kong sued again and then left the study.

Just as Mr. Kong had just walked out of the gate of Wen Mansion, he was turned up by several Jinyiwei lieutenants. The leader sneered: "Follow us obediently, or do the old men take action?"

Mr. Kong was not afraid at all and said, "You are doing your own arbitrarily under the feet of the emperor, but do you still have the king's laws in your eyes?"

The Jinyiwei Xiaoqi, the leader of the Jinyiwei, smiled indifferently: "Wangfa? I am a dignified emperor and I am doing things for the emperor. Isn't it the king's law? Are you talking about king's law with me? Have you never read a book?"

Mr. Kong said, "Even if you are arrogant for a while, how long can you be arrogant? Can you not see the fate of Ji Gang during the Yongle period?"

The little flag of Jinyiwei Di was silent when he heard this, and laughed: "Ji Gang? Are you stupid in your studies? Do you know what the emperor's personal army is? I tell you that the emperor's personal army means forgetting all right and wrong, life and death, and only the emperor in his heart. The emperor wants me to be born, and I will be born when I wait. The emperor wants me to die, and I will die when I wait."

After saying that, seeing someone pointing at a distance from nearby, the little flag said loudly: "The Jinyiwei is ordered to take people. It is irrelevant. Don't watch it, so as not to misunderstand everyone. You must be unfair."

Seeing that everyone dispersed and stopped watching, the little flag smiled and said, "Sir, please stop?"

Mr. Kong said, "Do you know who I am? I'm afraid that this imperial prison is easy to enter, and I want someone to come out again, but it's not so easy to hire."

When Xiaoqi heard this, he also smiled and said, "Who is sir? I don't know, and I don't know. The more I know, the more dangerous it is. We are not children, who doesn't know? As for the hard way to ask the sir to come out, that's not what I should care about, even a little flag should stop talking nonsense, please stop!"

When Mr. Kong heard this, he knew that it was useless to say too much. He snorted coldly and followed the small flag toward the direction of the imperial prison.

When he arrived at the imperial prison, Mr. Kong was taken directly to the cell inside. However, when he passed by Wen Tiren's cell, Mr. Kong read out mercy, resentment, and the meaning of laughing at Wen Tiren's eyes. Although he was puzzled, the Jinyi Captain behind him did not give him time to think, and did not allow him to have any eye contact with Wen Tiren. He just pushed him suddenly and shouted: "Go away!"

Mr. Kong turned around and glared at him angrily, but in return he pushed harder. Seeing that he could not imagine, he had to walk forward.
