After Zhu Youxiao learned the details of Hong Chengchou's arrest from Wei Zhongxian, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"This Hong Chengchou is indeed a little capable, but he was dragged down by those stupid pig-like gentry gentry. This is also his unlucky. Even if he has great skills, it will be useless! Li Dingguo can't help these people, let alone Hong Chengchou who is afraid of death!"

Zhu Youxiao thought to himself.

Then he ordered: "Issued an order, and sent the cabinet ministers, the six ministers and the left and right to join the government, and the ministers of the temples came to see me."

After all these ministers arrived, Zhu Youxiao talked about Hong Chengchou again: "The ministers believe that this person should deal with Hong Chengchou's matter, and this person is obviously capable of doing it, but he undoubtedly has a disadvantage in his integrity."

"Your Majesty, it is said that people should be used without any restrictions. Now that this person can do something, he should use it himself. As for the lack of integrity, it is understandable. As Your Majesty said just now, it was caused by the forced force of the rebellion party. Therefore, I think this person may be used."

Fang Congzhe saw that the emperor said that Hong Chengchou had the ability to do it, so he thought that Zhu Youxiao wanted to use Hong Chengchou, so he said so.

Although he is the chief minister of the cabinet, he is already used to the only way to follow the holy will.

Zhu Youxiao just smiled.

At this time, the cabinet minister Xu Guangqi stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I believe that although Hong Chengchou has no intention of plotting against rebellion, he has the reality of plotting against rebellion. Even if he is forced into the camp of the rebellion, he should commit suicide or go on a hunger strike to commit suicide, at least pretend to be deaf and do not plan for the rebellion. However, this person is his own selfishness, first flattering the Japanese chiefs, and then slaughtering the common people, without any virtue of keeping up with integrity and kindness! Keeping it will only make those with virtue disappointed, and even make those with talent unscrupulous! When will the Ming Dynasty do something that can do? Therefore, I believe that Hong Chengchou should be dealt with strictly, and for the crime of plotting against rebellion! It is not enough to be the moral character of a wise and a wise man!"

For a moment, Yuan Keli also stood up and said, "I also think that Hong Chengchou has no intention of cherishing his subordinates, but he wags his tail and begs for mercy against his superiors. His character is really too inferior. If he is not a minister with food and fortune, he can do it. However, since he is an official of the court, he must at least have the virtue of not betraying the king, not harming the country or the people. However, Hong Chengchou has no virtue at all! Now, Hong Chengchou's past letter to his ministers is evidence, please read it!"

Only then did Yuan Keli take out the secret letter Hong Chengchou gave him.

Then, Yuan Keli continued, "The so-called ability to do it, can't I find a person with a moral character in the Ming Dynasty and a talent that is not inferior to him? I have never lacked both moral character and talent. As for those with such inferior character, the more talented they are, the more harm they are, the more harm they are for the country, so I also ask Your Majesty to deal with this person strictly! In addition, Hong Chengchou's mother also had a letter that she said personally, asking Your Majesty to punish him to clarify the rules and rectify the style. Now I ask Your Majesty to present it to Your Majesty and ask Your Majesty to read it!"

Yuan Keli said that, and then took out another letter.

Zhu Youxiao was quite surprised. He did not expect that Yuan Keli had never told him about Hong Chengchou writing a secret letter to him. It turned out that he had already decided to kill Hong Chengchou, and even prepared Hong Chengchou's mother's oral letter early.

Zhu Youxiao remembers that in history, Hong Chengchou was indeed not forgiven by his mother after he pacified Jiangnan for the Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao was not surprised that Yuan Keli could bring in the oral letter that Hong Chengchou's mother asked to be executed.

Zhu Youxiao took the oral letter covered with Hong Chengchou's mother's handprint, looked at Xu Guangqi, Yuan Keli and other officials, and finally made up his mind to say, "Absolute! Since his mother cannot tolerate his misconduct, how can I forgive him? When will loyalty be less than filial piety? I will immediately punish Hong Chengchou for being broken into pieces! To punish him for losing his virtue and treason!"

"My emperor's wise!"

Zhu Youxiao just smiled faintly.

He had to admit that his Ming Dynasty was really different from that of the Qing Dynasty.

The civil servants in their own court still have moral requirements, so they are so unwilling tolerate Hong Chengchou. In the Qing Dynasty, civil servants with shaved hair will no longer have any integrity requirements for their colleagues, just as they have no integrity requirements for the emperor.

Therefore, Hong Chengchou's ending at this time is different from his history after being captured by the Qing Dynasty.

It’s not that Zhu Youxiao could not tolerate him, but that there were many scholars and officials in the Ming Dynasty who valued integrity, and these scholars and officials did not tolerate people like Hong Chengchou to have a good end.

Otherwise, how could the Ming Dynasty be called "hard"?

Why did Chongzhen die in his country, such as Fan Jingwen, Ni Yuanlu, Meng Zhaoxiang, Xu Zhi, Ganzhong and his family die in their country?

This is because many scholars and officials of the Ming Dynasty still valued their backbone.

In addition, Zhu Youxiao now has to admit that the talents of Yuan Keli and others have proved to be excellent through practice. They can be able to control the army and dismount and govern the people. However, as an emperor, he cannot make these people feel that as long as he has talents, he can be unscrupulous.

Therefore, Zhu Youxiao must severely punish Hong Chengchou to maintain the high standards of important officials, not only having ability but also having talent.

Hong Chengchou was deeply saddened when he learned about this.

But Hong Chengchou did not insult the emperor, nor did he scold Yuan Keli and others, but only scolded Yang Sichang and others.

"Yang Sichang, Ye Chengmin, Ding Qirui, you gentry are simply foolish! No, all your gentry are foolish! I am really cheated by you gentry. Fortunately, the world is now controlled by gentry such as you, otherwise you will ruin the world sooner or later! Your Majesty is wise, Your Majesty is wise, it is best if you kill them all!"

Hong Chengchou cursed so much even when he was tortured.

...

"You guys, listen to this. Fortunately, Your Majesty asked to execute this person from Duke Yuan and others. Otherwise, if this person is really retained, this person would be even more vicious than traitors, and threatened to kill the gentry!"

Xie Sheng couldn't help but murmur at Fang Kezhuang and others when he heard what Hong Chengchou shouted loudly.

"He is crazy! If all the scholars and officials are foolish, wouldn't he be foolish?"

Fang Kezhuang disdains authenticity.

"Actually, it's understandable that he scolded like this. Our gentry is indeed extremely incompetent. Now we dare not mention governing the world with the emperor!"

Huang Shijun sighed.

"Mr. Huang's words are inappropriate. Are Mr. Xu, Yuan Qiuguan and others capable ministers? They are highly valued by the emperor. Whenever they make a fuss, your Majesty will follow. For example, killing Hong Chengchou, you heard that Your Majesty intended to use this person, but because the second Duke Xu and Yuan stopped him, he strictly dealt with him."

Fang Kezhuang said.

But Xie Sheng sneered at this time: "So our Majesty cannot understand it! Only Xu, Yuan and others dare to do this. If it were others, the family would have been searched and the clan would have been exterminated. Do you know why this is the case? It is because Xu Guangqi, Yuan Keli and others are real madmen, such as a thief party, it is even more terrifying!"

"What do you say?"

Huang Shijun asked hurriedly.

"They wanted to kill Hong Chengchou because Hong Chengchou was in a bad state of integrity. Is this crazy man who demanded that ministers would rather die than sacrifice their pride than harm the country and the people. Isn't that scary?

As far as I know, the first thing Yuan Qiu said after seeing Your Majesty was to strictly prevent the emergence of aristocratic families and advise the emperor to take back the dividend share of the powerful and powerful in the official camp and return the profit to the country! Are these people crazy?

They themselves have a share and are about to become a clan family, but they really want to cut off their own profits because of an illusory "country"! If it weren't for these lunatics, Fang Congzhe, who only knew how to please the emperor, wouldn't have completed the new policy so well. I heard that they are still preparing to take the initiative to advise His Majesty to rectify the Beijing camp and attack the nobles and military officers in the capital!"

Xie Sheng said.

...

"Your Majesty, I believe that it is indeed no longer necessary to rectify the Beijing camp! The Ming Dynasty cannot use the people's wealth to support an army that cannot fight, and it will only waste national wealth!"
