"Bring the guilty minister Qi Kangping to the palace!"

As Liu Jin shouted, another game between Zhu Houzhao and the civil service group began.

Qi Kangping, who took off his purple official robe and changed into a prison uniform, with his hands and feet shackled, walked into the Fengtian Hall step by step, looking extremely haggard.

The faces of the officials in the civil service group were full of pride and excitement. Qi Kangping was dead!

Perhaps Qi Kangping's death did not bring them much substantial benefits, but it encouraged them greatly. They felt that this was a clarion call to fight back against Zhu Houzhao, which was an extremely exciting thing.

"The guilty minister Qi Kangping comes to see your majesty, long live my emperor!"

Qi Kangping bowed with difficulty, his eyes, face, and mood were all extremely calm, and he was ready to die.

"Qi Kangping, I ask you, during your tenure as governor of Yingtian, did you commit many serious crimes such as paying for murder, embezzlement and bribery, and abuse of power?"

Zhu Houzhao asked expressionlessly.

Qi Kangping will definitely die today, everything is just a formality.

"yes!"

As a mentor, seeing Qi Kangping through the last part of his life was the only thing he could do for Qi Kangping.

"A single husband."

As for secretly buying fusang and Japanese women from Liaodong, and indulging his servants in beating officials to death, it was not a big deal in his opinion.

He was supposed to have a bright future, but because of one wrong move, he ended up risking his life. Maybe he didn't regret it in his heart, but he still inevitably felt sad and desperate.

Zhu Yueqi is different. He stays on his own territory honestly, makes money when he should, and plays with women when he should. He has never violated the bottom line of the court. It was Zhu Houzhao who provoked him first. What reason can there be to deal with him?

.

What's wrong with a local vassal king playing with a few Fuso Japanese women? Isn't this normal? Which vassal king doesn't play with women? Besides playing with women and having children, what else can he do?

Zhu Houzhao sent someone to reprimand him, and to make him lose face, he was just making a fuss out of a molehill, and meddling in other people's business.

"It is said that King Zhu Yueqi of Jingjiang came to the palace."

But he just doesn’t believe in evil!

Those power groups were not from the old Zhu family, so they were suppressed. Prince Ning dared to rebel, so he deserved to be sent to Liaodong.

"Qi Kangping, the governor of Yingtian, repeatedly violated national laws during his tenure, deceived the emperor, ignored his superiors, and killed people. His crimes are unforgivable."

Zhu Yueqi relied on his status, and even neglected the etiquette he should have towards the emperor. He just raised his hands in a gesture with a lazy look, and did not take Zhu Houzhao seriously at all.

The iron chain made a crisp sound when it touched the ground. Qi Kangping suddenly fell to the ground, his eyes gradually lost their look, as if he was a living dead.

Zhu Houzhao quickly made a judgment. Qi Kangping's matter should only be dealt with as soon as possible and not delayed. The longer it is delayed, the harder it will be to deal with it.

The civil service group waiting to see Zhu Houzhao's joke was also stunned. They thought that Zhu Houzhao would give Qi Kangping a chance no matter what. After all, Qi Kangping was a young hero promoted by Zhu Houzhao.

If you really need a reason, it is: I am happy, I am happy!

All in all, all in all, he was confident. He was the King of Jingjiang with a special status, and the things he committed were not big things. He didn't believe that Zhu Houzhao could do anything to him. He could still remove his king after causing a huge commotion.

The number doesn’t work!

"Prince Jingjiang, do you know your guilt?"

No one in the civil and military circles of the dynasty interceded for Qi Kangping. It was not that Qi Kangping was not very popular. At least among the officials of Zhu Houzhao's group, there were many friends of Qi Kangping and they had a close friendship with Qi Kangping.

A scholar from a humble family, born in poverty, but able to rise all the way to the position of governor of Yingtian. Qi Kangping's reputation in Shilin is quite good, and he has many supporters.

The super corrupt official Qi Kangping is about to die, and then it will be the turn of Jingjiang King Zhu Yueqi!

The officials who came from the civil service group all cursed secretly. Zhu Houzhao's decisiveness made their self-righteous calculations not achieve the best results, and they all felt extremely unhappy.

Fei Hong, the bachelor of Jinshen Palace, sighed helplessly. Qi Kangping once studied under him, and he was very emotional and rational. At this time, he should say something for this student who should have a promising future, but the situation was tense, so he could only

Choose Mingzhe to protect yourself.

"Your Majesty, I kindly ask you to go and see Qi Kangping off."

But this time, the facts of Qi Kangping's crimes were too great. Not only did he commit multiple serious crimes, but they also involved a game between the emperor and the civil service group. No one dared to ask for mercy, and no one could save him.

"allow."

Fei Hong also followed out.

Dressed in the standard python robe of the Ming Dynasty vassal king, Zhu Yueqi, who was neatly dressed and quite noble, walked into the hall with his head held high and his chest high. He was completely opposite to Qi Kangping, who was full of dejection just now.

"My subject, King Zhu Yueqi of Jingjiang, pays homage to Your Majesty."

I never thought that Zhu Houzhao would be so decisive, and even Qi Kangping, who he promoted and regarded as a role model for poor scholars, was executed without hesitation.

Qi Kangping confessed to all charges.

A team of Jinwu guards rushed into the hall and took Qi Kangping away. What greeted him would be cold blades and endless hell.

"Anyone involved in the case will be severely punished and will never be tolerated."

He had also heard about Zhu Houzhao's methods in Guilin, Guangxi, which included suppressing the civil servant group, suppressing the coastal wealthy families, suppressing the Jiangnan gentry, suppressing the scholar group, and suppressing the distinguished group. Anyone who stood against the imperial power would not end well.

clang

Zhu Houzhao had no reason not to allow it.

"tyrant."

However, Qi Kangping's death is not meaningless. With a little manipulation, it is also a good choice to drive a wedge between Zhu Houzhao and scholars all over the world.

"Immediately he was dragged out of the Meridian Gate and beheaded in public."

The matter had come to this, and the evidence was conclusive, so it was useless even to refuse to admit it. Moreover, he did not want to make it difficult for Zhu Houzhao, who had been kind to him.

"well"

"I don't know what the crime is!"

A cold light flashed through Zhu Houzhao's eyes, but he still asked calmly on the surface.

It doesn't matter if you allow your servants to beat officials to death. The whole world belongs to the old Zhu family. The officials are like the dogs raised by the old Zhu family. What reason is needed to beat a dog to death?

While others were still in the Hanlin Academy, Qi Kangping had already reached such a high position as Governor Yingtian. This shows how much Zhu Houzhao thought highly of Qi Kangping, a noble son from a poor family, who could be a role model for scholars all over the world.

Although he had known for a long time that he would inevitably die, when the sentence fell on him, he still inevitably felt panic, confusion, and a touch of unwillingness.

Instead of pleading guilty, Zhu Yueqi attacked him and impeached Zhang Cai, the commander of the Jinyiwei who had captured him from the Jingjiang Palace to the capital.

"I want to impeach Zhang Cai, the commander of the Royal Guards. This person broke into my palace and was rude and offensive to me. I beg your majesty to make the decision for me."

Good guy!

All the ministers had to admire Zhu Yueqi's courage. Since Zhu Houzhao took full power, Zhu Yueqi was the first one who dared to talk to Zhu Houzhao like this.

It's just that he refused to plead guilty, but he dared to attack Zhu Houzhao's Jinyiwei commander Zhang Cai and impeach him. King Jingjiang was indeed a warrior!

During the Zhengde period, there were two Jinyiwei commanders, one was Shi Wenyi and the other was Zhang Cai
