After turning his hand and putting the file aside, Chu Yi said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty, don't be angry because of some villains!"

Zhu Houzhao took a deep breath and said, "The reason I am angry is because these people are so ignorant. Is it said that in their eyes I am the kind of emperor who is not tolerant? I even want to provoke the relationship between me and my great companion."

As he said that, a cold light flashed in Zhu Houzhao's eyes and said, "It seems that only by using thunder means can I make them remember one thing, and never challenge my bottom line. I really can kill people!"

It can be seen that Zhu Houzhao was really stimulated this time, otherwise Zhu Houzhao would not have said such a thing.

After all, Zhu Houzhao is naturally mellow and is not the kind of king who is suspicious and indiscriminate. If it weren't for this, I'm afraid that Zhu Houzhao wouldn't have made Chu Yi take it so seriously, and even put so much effort into Zhu Houzhao.

After waved his hand, Zhu Houzhao said to Chu Yi: "The big companion doesn't need to be asked about this matter, so that someone will slander the big companion if he turns black and white against it."

Zhu Houzhao thought he had to consider Chu Yi, so he took everything cleanly and neatly. Even if he might be regarded as a tyrant afterwards, Zhu Houzhao would do whatever he wanted.

Yue Buqun, standing beside him, Cao Shaoqin and others lowered their heads one by one. Listening to the conversation between Zhu Houzhao and Chu Yi, the two had no intention of interrupting.

At this moment, Zhu Houzhao pondered slightly and said, "Transfer my will and summon several cabinet masters from the cabinet to come, and then say that I have something to discuss with them."

Chu Yi sat aside, naturally understood the purpose of Zhu Houzhao summoning Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others to the palace at this time. Obviously, even if Zhu Houzhao was angry, he did not lose his mind because of his anger.

Chu Yi looked at Zhu Houzhao with appreciation, obviously very satisfied with Zhu Houzhao's calmness.

After the grand court meeting, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and other cabinet masters did not rest even after returning to their mansions, but knew that they had been paying attention to the changes in the capital.

As expected, the efficiency of the Dongchang and Jinyiwei was as high as ever, and it was not beyond their expectations at all. A group of officials who were obviously close to Xu Fu and Chen Kai were taken down and thrown into prison, which was expected.

Then the next thing depends on how the emperor will deal with these people. If the emperor doesn't care about anything else and wants to kill these officials, then as ministers, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others are considering how they should persuade Zhu Houzhao.

After all, as the emperor, even if you really want to kill someone, you cannot kill someone for no reason. You must have a reason to kill someone, otherwise you will not be able to explain it to the people of the world.

After all, even as an emperor, it is impossible to really act recklessly. The so-called reckless act is probably only the kind of tyrant who has passed today and no matter tomorrow.

As the cabinet masters, Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and Zhu Houzhao can be regarded as having deep feelings for the king and his subjects. Over the years, the king and his subjects have been together. In Wang Yangming and others' eyes, Zhu Houzhao is definitely the kind of wise ruler of the ages. They naturally don't want Zhu Houzhao to leave any stains because of this incident.

In Wang Yangming's mansion, Yang Yiqing was stroking his beard with a bit of worry in his eyes and said to Wang Yangming: "Shangshu Wang, aren't you worried that Your Majesty will make some decisions that will hinder his reputation in anger?"

Wang Yangming sat there in a leisurely manner, looked at Yang Yiqing, and smiled slightly, "The Master of the Pavilion is a little over-concerned. Not to mention that Your Majesty himself is the Lord of the Holy Intelligence. Even if Your Majesty is affected by emotions this time, he may make some decisions that hinder his reputation. But the Master of the Pavilion should not forget that with Your Highness the King of Wu, will Your Highness the King of Wu watch as Your Majesty make a wrong decision?"

Hearing Wang Yangming say this, Yang Yiqing, who had a little worried look on his face, couldn't help but lit up his eyes and exclaimed: "Yes, why didn't I think of this? With His Highness Wu, naturally, I wouldn't let Your Majesty make a wrong decision."

As he said that, Yang Yiqing said to Wang Yangming with a little admiration: "It's still Wang Shangshu who can see clearly. I feel ashamed of myself."

While he was talking, he saw the old servant in the palace walking quickly towards Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing and then said, "Master, someone is coming from the palace."

Wang Yangming raised his eyebrows and said, "Oh, please come in quickly."

When a large eunuch came over under the entourage of two eunuchs, he saw Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing from afar, the eunuch's eyes lit up and walked a few steps forward: "I have met Duke Anguo, and I have met the Prime Minister."

Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing naturally did not dare to entrust the eunuch in front of the eunuch. The two stood up and bowed to the eunuch and said, "I have seen Wu Dajian, but I don't know what your majesty's orders are?"

Wu Dajian smiled slightly and bowed to the direction of the palace and said, "Your Majesty's oral orders, and the edict of the Secretary of the King and the Shoufu Yang entered the palace."

After looking at each other, Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing bowed and said, "I will receive the order."

Wu Dajian looked at Yang Yiqing with a smile and said, "It just so happened that the assistant Yang is here, so we can save our family from going to Yang's mansion for another trip."

As he said that, Wu Dajian said, "Our family has to pass the imperial edict to several other cabinet masters, so I said goodbye. You two have some cleaning up and please enter the palace."

Soon, several cabinet masters in the cabinet received Zhu Houzhao's orders no matter where they were. They cleaned up one by one and rushed to the palace.

When Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others appeared in front of the palace gate, the imperial guards guarding the palace gate opened the gate and put the few people in.

In the palace and in the Imperial Garden, Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao were looking through the files one by one.

At this moment, a sound of footsteps came, and the voice of an eunuch came from afar: "The cabinet elder Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others asked to see Your Majesty, Your Highness Wu."

Zhu Houzhao raised her head and said, "Transfer."

Soon Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others strode over. When they saw Chu Yi sitting there, they felt a secret relief.

With Chu Yi on the side, no matter how angry Zhu Houzhao is, at least they don’t have to worry about any trouble, because Chu Yi will definitely not sit idly by and watch Zhu Houzhao make any trouble without caring about it.

"Greetings to Your Majesty, I have met His Highness, King Wu."

Zhu Houzhao just snorted lightly at Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.

Zhu Houzhao was obviously expressing his dissatisfaction. After all, the cabinet masters of the cabinet can be said to be the example of all officials. If there is any problem with civil and military officials, it must be the responsibility of all the cabinet masters of the cabinet.

This time, like Xu Fu, Chen Kai actually caused such a thing at the dynasty meeting. In Zhu Houzhao's opinion, several cabinet masters in the cabinet did not fulfill the responsibility of supervising all officials.

Obviously, Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing and the others have been mentally prepared, so they are not surprised at Zhu Houzhao's attitude.

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao threw a pile of flipped files in front of several people and said, "Let me take a look, take a look, this is my Ming Dynasty official, why did I raise such a group of shameless people?"

Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others picked up the file that Zhu Houzhao threw in front of him and looked through it one by one. When they saw the content on the file, even Wang Yangming and Yang Yiqing could not help but frowned.

Even a person as honest as Chen Ding couldn't help but say to Zhu Houzhao when he saw the contents of the file: "Your Majesty, is the record above true? It's not Dongchang, Jinyiwei."

In other words, Chen Ding was a veteran of several dynasties and had always been like this. If it were someone else, he would have dared to question the emperor in this way, it would be a crime of disrespect. Even if he met an emperor with a small mind, a minister like Chen Ding would have grown grass on his grave.

Yue Buqun standing beside him, Cao Shaoqin's face suddenly turned ugly when he heard this. He stared at Chen Ding, but unfortunately Chen Ding was not afraid of the two of them at all. He even dared to criticize Chu Yi, so how could he be afraid of Yue Buqun and Cao Shaoqin and the other two?

Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao snorted coldly at this moment: "They don't have the courage to fool me with such things!"

After Zhu Houzhao finished speaking, Cao Shaoqin and Yue Buqun knelt in front of Zhu Houzhao with a swearing look and said, "I dare to use my head to guarantee the title of my wife. Every record in these files is true. If there is any mistake, I will apologize for death."

Wang Yangming said to Zhu Houzhao: "Your Majesty also asks you to forgive me. It is our negligence. We have not fulfilled our duties as supervising officials. We have actually caused so many people with ulterior motives to be involved in the officials."

No wonder Wang Yangming's face became ugly. It was really the source of the officials of Xu Fu and Chen Kai who were accomplices recorded in the file was too shocking.

Even though there were only a few of them, the background of these people still caused a great impact on Wang Yangming and the others.

Among these officials, there were the remnants of King Ning's rebels in the past, as well as the descendants of several powerful families whose families were confiscated by Zhu Houzhao.

After all, no one can guarantee whether there will be any fish that misses the net. The most powerful and powerful families are good at saving lives. Although Chu Yi slaughtered many powerful families at the time, even Chu Yi himself cannot guarantee that the so-called family scouts and exterminations can really kill the other party.

As expected, some of the past evils have been involved in the officialdom.

As the chief minister of the cabinet, Yang Yiqing naturally had to stand up and take responsibility. When he saw Yang Yiqing say to Zhu Houzhao, "Your Majesty forgives the crime, it is all my fault for not being insidious, so that people with ulterior motives have been involved in the court. If Your Majesty had not been aware of his wiseness, he would not know how much impact these people would have on the Ming Dynasty in the future."

As he said that, Yang Yiqing knelt on the ground and said to Zhu Houzhao: "I am willing to resign from the position of chief minister to punish him."

Zhu Houzhao waved his hand and said, "Although you are wrongly obsessed with this matter, I have summoned you to come and asked you to investigate it. How should I deal with these people?"

Wang Yangming, who took a deep breath, said slowly: "Your Majesty should be punished with severe punishment, otherwise he would not be able to warn future generations."

Yang Yiqing nodded and said, "What Wang Shangshu said is very much. Those who have ulterior motives are the enemies of our Ming Dynasty. We should kill them without mercy to serve as a warning to others."

Chen Ding opened his mouth, as if he wanted to persuade Zhu Houzhao not to make a decision in the face of emotional fluctuations, but in the end Chen Ding shut up because Chen Ding really couldn't think of a reason to plead for these people.

It was really because even Chen Ding couldn't stand what these people did, otherwise Chen Ding would definitely not stand there without saying a word.

Zhu Houzhao looked at the cabinet masters with a little satisfaction. It was obvious that Zhu Hou took care of the cabinet masters this time.

After waved his hand, Zhu Houzhao said to the people: "Since that's the case, I will hand over the case to the cabinet for handling. I will see the cabinet's handling method in the shortest time."

Chen Ding, Yang Yiqing, Wang Yangming and others all responded and bowed to Zhu Houzhao.

Everyone dispersed, but did not return to their own residences, but instead gathered in the cabinet.

As the office of several cabinet masters, the cabinet masters gathered together now.

Only the chief minister of the cabinet could see Yang Yiqing glanced at a few people and said, "Everyone, your Majesty will hand over this matter to our cabinet for handling this matter. This is Your Majesty's trust in us, and we will never let your Majesty down, nor will we let any official be wronged. So you might as well tell me, what punishment should be done to target these people?"

The few people wrinkled one by one, which was not an easy thing to make a decision. If it was too harsh, everyone would confiscate their families and destroy their clans at that time, which would make the cabinet too cruel.

However, if they let it go, they would probably not be able to explain to the emperor.

Wang Yangming stroked his beard and sighed slightly, "Everyone, this matter is not that simple. It can be said that it is a test for Your Majesty to us. Therefore, before making a decision, everyone must think carefully before making a decision."

Hearing Wang Yangming say this, the elders all looked awe-inspiring, and even Yang Yiqing couldn't help but change his expression slightly.

If what Wang Yangming said is true, it means that their words may fall into the sight of others. When you think of this, how can you keep your parents from being disgusted?

With a light cough, Cheng Xiangwu, as a military man, has always seemed to have little presence in the cabinet, but he is just an existence in the cabinet as a representative figure of the military.

But don’t think that Cheng Xiangwu’s existence in the cabinet is a decoration. The general’s entry into the cabinet is obviously the result of the efforts of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.

At this moment, Cheng Xiangwu looked at Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others, snorted coldly, "What are you thinking about? If I ask me, Lao Cheng, I will drag them out and chop their heads, and search the house and exterminate the clan."

But don’t think that Cheng Xiangwu’s existence in the cabinet is a decoration. The general’s entry into the cabinet is obviously the result of the efforts of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.

At this moment, Cheng Xiangwu looked at Wang Yangming, Yang Yiqing and others at a glance, and snorted coldly, "What are you thinking about? If I, Old Cheng, I will drag them out and chop off my head, and confiscate the family and destroy the clan." But don't think that Cheng Xiangwu's existence in the cabinet is a decoration. The generals entering the cabinet are obviously the result of the efforts of Chu Yi and Zhu Houzhao.
