"So, this is not something I can do if I don't want to be this assistant. Our Majesty is determined to force me to work hard with him to make drastic reforms. You just asked Your Majesty what he wanted to do if he really sent someone to instigate Shi Hong in secret. I think Your Majesty wants me to be as loyal to him as Yan Song is loyal to Shimiao, and also to be as loyal to the country as Zhang Juzheng is loyal to the country!

Well, it is really hard to violate the saint's will. The Ming Dynasty is like this now, and it is indeed necessary to completely reform and eliminate evil. Shihong is right. Anyway, he has been scolded by Shilin as a treacherous minister. It would be better to do a big battle with great enthusiasm, which is also a matter of living up to what he learned in his life and his youth!"

Fang Congzhe smiled slightly as he said that, and became a little energetic.

Liu smiled and presented a cup of tea to Fang Congzhe: "Since that's the case, Shihong has said that it's in the heart of the master. Now that you have come to this point, it's better to do some practical things for the country and the people. I'm afraid that you can't just leave a name in history in the future, and you can't just talk about it as a treacherous minister."

Fang Congzhe laughed: "The good or bad reputation in the future depends entirely on what king Your Majesty wants to be. In any case, I have a clear conscience on the word "loyalty". Even if there are any major changes in the future, I can still live for my life."

"By the way, master, Li Sancai, is Shihong right? Do you really want to kill him?"

Mrs. Liu asked suddenly.

Fang Congzhe suddenly smiled coldly: "This guy is not my opponent! The dispute over entering the cabinet was already known. He was too arrogant and used cleverness. During the temple period, I could make him be demoted to the people. Now when I meet His Majesty, a tough emperor, I will naturally not let him live well. Your Majesty doesn't like people who are too famous among the people, and I don't like it either! I did make Your Majesty even more reluctant to let Li Sancai live by pleading for him."

"master!"

Liu looked at Fang Congzhe's confident look intently, and then lay in Fang Congzhe's arms and called out softly.

...

"Li Sancai will die!"

Fuzhou Prefecture.

Ye Xianggao threw the diary on the table and sighed.

"How can Mr. Ye see?"

Fujian Juren Huang Daozhou asked Ye Xianggao.

"There is a Fang Congzhe in the court."

Ye Xianggao replied, and said, "This person is not something that Liu Yiying, Han Yu, and Li Sancai can deal with!"

Ye Xianggao said this and said depressedly: "It's a pity that Your Majesty refuses to use me, so now I can only watch him reach the top!"

Then, Ye Xianggao said: "My gentlemen in Donglin are becoming more and more dangerous next time. We must not be without plans. I will write a few letters. You will hand them over to these people after you go to Beijing to take the exam."

"Please make a clear statement from Ye Gong."

The zodiac replied.

"Leave it to Zheng Sanjun, Zhao Nanxing and Qian Qianyi. In my opinion, these three people can be more likely to be pulled out among the gentlemen of Donglin, or can be used as a support."

After thinking carefully, Ye Xianggao ordered Huang Daozhou.

After Ye Xianggao gave the order, he said to Huang Daozhou: "Under the current situation, Your Majesty will inevitably use Gu Kunshan and Wei Kaizhou in the future. Just like Feng Quan before, these three people may be able to curb the momentum of these people. At present, it is estimated that the first person to be used is Gu Kunshan. With my understanding of Fang Daxing and Gu Kunshan, Fang Daxing will push him out."

...

Gu Bingqian was naturally very happy after receiving the decree that he was ordered to be the Minister of Justice.

After all, this means he is among the top nine ministers.

Gu Bingqian came to Fang's mansion to thank Fang Shihong: "Gou thanked Yuanfu and Brother Shi for their cultivation, and Gu must be grateful."

Fang Shihong smiled slightly, "Why do you have to do this in the Grand Secretary? This is just the emperor's kindness."

"What Brother Shi said is that this is naturally a great emperor's grace, but the operation of Brother Shi and Yuanfu is indispensable, so I would like to thank you very much."

Gu Bingqian said with a smile.

Just at this moment, Fang Congzhe was about to leave the mansion.

Seeing this, Gu Bingqian did not come over: "The official has met Yuan Fu."

Fang Congzhe nodded indifferently and asked: "It is not easy for the Grand Secretary Kou to go to the ministry to be on duty, why did he come to the humble house again?"

"The officials are here to thank you. Now Xia Guan is in charge of the position of Grand Secretary Kou. Xia Guan understands that it is all thanks to Yuanfu, you are recommended in front of the imperial court."

Gu Bingqian said with a flattering smile.

He could have seen that Fang Congzhe didn't like him, but he didn't expect that Fang Congzhe would still recommend him as the Minister of Justice, which made him mistakenly think that Fang Congzhe was just looking down on the surface, so he still respected Fang Congzhe.

"Now the case of Li Sancai and the case of the unlawful scholar who forced his way into the lobby of Jinyiwei to kill Jinyi's personal army is still unresolved. It is up to the Grand Secretary Kou to handle the matter as soon as possible and don't delay it."

Fang Congzhe only talked about government affairs with Gu Bingqian.

Seeing this, Gu Bingqian hurriedly said, "Don't worry, Yuanfu, the subordinates will start to handle this matter immediately! We will live up to the court's entrustedness."

Fang Congzhe smiled because of this and then got into the sedan chair.

After watching Fang Congzhe's sedan chair leave, Gu Bingqian entered the sedan chair with pride and ordered: "Go back to the Ministry of Justice immediately!"

Next, as soon as Gu Bingqian returned to the Ministry of Justice, he began to execute Li Sancai and the non-faizi.

Except for the left and right ministers of the Ministry of Justice who were unwilling to participate in this matter, the middle and lower-level officials and most of the officials of the Ministry of Justice had no personal opinions on Li Sancai and the unfair scholars, because they were only responsible for doing specific things. Even if they changed the emperor or even the court, they basically just followed the orders of the above officials.

Therefore, next, thanks to the cooperation of Gu Bingqian, the new Minister of Justice, Li Sancai and the unfair scholar were successfully taken from the imperial prison to the Ministry of Justice, and then taken to the execution ground to await execution.

Gu Bingqian personally served as the decree.

When these criminals were escorted to the execution ground, the people would still beat these criminals with rotten vegetables and leaves.

The people of this era have always been bullied by the scholar-official class, so they never had any good feelings for officials and scholars.

And only at this time can they take revenge on these officials and gentry.

You should know that in normal times, a county magistrate can destroy the people.

In this era, even an ordinary scholar could capture the people and serve him at will.

Just as Xu Xiake once mentioned in his travel notes that he had also arrested the people to cook for him and carried sedan chairs, and even beat the people who did not serve him well.

In this era, it was considered normal for the literati and official group to enslave the people.

Therefore, Xu Xiake didn't think there was anything wrong with this, so he wrote it into his travel notes.

But for this reason, except for the local brave men controlled by the literati class themselves, most common people have no feelings for the literati class.

Therefore, although many scholars sympathized with Li Sancai and these unlawful scholars, the people did not sympathize with him and only took this opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction accumulated when they were exploited by the ruling class.

"Good arrest! Take away all these people who are as bad as Qiao Juren and execute!"

"Bow them to death, none of these people named Master is a good thing!"

"Go to die, you dog officials, you bad guys!"

...

The people did not know who was executed, but they did take this opportunity to vent the hatred that the bureaucratic gentry had developed against them.

For the scholars in the capital and many officials and gentry, they were in a bad mood and even very resentful when they saw Li Sancai and these unlawful scholars being executed soon.

Most of them stood in teahouses and lofts everywhere to watch the execution scene because they were rich.

Some people gritted their teeth, some clenched their fists, and some looked at the people below in anger and cursed: "These stupid untouchables! They are simply a bunch of mobs!"

...

Of course, Gu Bingqian was also scolded miserably by the bureaucratic and gentry watching the excitement around him, but he turned a deaf ear and sat safely on the execution platform. When the time came, he threw the token directly: "Execution!"

Because he forced himself to break into the lobby of the Jinyiwei to rescue Li Sancai, he suddenly killed several illegal men of the Jinyiwei. He began to be executed.

A scholar couldn't help but struggle and shouted: "What's wrong with us? We are juren. The court should be respectful to the wise and humble, and cannot kill us! What's wrong with killing a few Jinyiwei! How could they be as good as our scholar Lin Qinggui!"

The other scholars also shouted, and they were all similar words.

Even now, they still don’t feel that it is a crime to kill the Jinyiwei, so they are not many convinced.

Of course, this is related to the Ming Dynasty's indulgence on these scholars too much after Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di.

But no matter whether these scholars were convinced or not, the steel knife still fell down, and these self-proclaimed noble scholars were still killed and bleeding on the spot.

Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Emperor of the Apocalypse, formally declared that his imperial authority should not be offended.
