Chapter 318 The mastermind Zhou Kui and the monks and scholars shot!

Zhou Kui?

The Yue Weng who believed in the king?

The father of the Xinwang Mansion, Princess Xin?

In amazement, Tianqi asked Zhang Gui: "Are you saying true?"

Zhang Gui nodded: "Your Majesty doesn't know that until now, there are families of large clans who will let their slaves participate in the imperial examinations in the name of adopting sons, and thus become a tool for the clan to compete for profit for themselves in the officialdom."

"This time Zhou Daodeng can be a Jinshi and even a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet. This has been secretly doing a lot with Zhou Kui, a wealthy family member of the common people. It can be said that Zhou Kui is the head of Zhou Daodeng's family! Of course, Zhou Daodeng is no longer a casual slave, and has long used each other's relationship with Zhou Kui. After all, with Zhou Daodeng's current status, there is no need to really continue to follow Zhou Kui's advice."

Apocalypse asked again: "Can there be any evidence?"

Zhang Guize said: "The Princess Xin has arrived, she can testify for her ministers!"

"I believe in the princess?"

Apocalypse asked in surprise.

Zhang Gui nodded: "I ambushed someone by Princess Xin, but after hearing about the incident of Princess Xin, Princess Xin wanted to hang herself and leave with her husband. However, the people who were ambushed by Princess Xin prevented Princess Xin from hanging herself. Moreover, I also asked someone to rob Princess Xin first. After my inquiry, Princess Xin explained many things to me, including the relationship between Zhou Kui and Zhou Daodeng, as well as relevant evidence that she knew."

After Zhang Gui said this, he asked, "Princess Xin is here now. Does Your Majesty want to announce his views?"

"Prince!"

Apocalypse's deep voice.

Here, Zhou Daodeng was shocked when he heard Zhang Gui say Zhou Kui. He never expected that Zhang Gui would notice Princess Xin or even Zhou Kui.

In fact, Zhang Gui couldn't ignore it because he knew that Chongzhen's father-in-law was a famous bastard in history, so he naturally had to be closely monitored.

Soon, Princess Zhou of Xin came to the front of Apocalypse.

Princess Zhou already knew that King Xin had pulled his gun and committed suicide because she was guilty of taking the throne with the reactionary scholars. She had no complaints about Tianqi, and even worried that Tianqi would be implicated because King Xin planned to seize the throne. After seeing Tianqi, she saluted tremblingly: "The sinner Zhou has seen Your Majesty!"

Tianqi said: "You don't have to worry. As long as you are righteous and respectful and teach my nephew with peace of mind, I will still be like a younger wife. Let me tell you what the relationship between Lingzun and Zhou Daoden is. In addition, tell me the details of your father. Since ancient times, people have been loyal and filial first, so you don't have to worry that I will blame you for this."

"yes!"

Zhou agreed and told him about Zhou Daodeng and Zhou Kui's conspiracy to manipulate King Xin.

Only then did Tianqi realize that his younger brother, King Xin, had been targeted by Zhou Kui and Zhou Daodeng!

Zhou Daodeng was responsible for finding ways in the officialdom to make Zhou the elected Princess Xin, while Zhou Kui was responsible for cultivating Zhou, so Zhou Kui became the father-in-law of King Xin and also controlled many servants in the Xin Wang Mansion.

Zhou also informed Tianqi of why he was willing to explain Zhou Kui's guilt now. It turned out that after Zhou Kui learned that King Xin was defeated, he forcibly snatched King Xin's son Zhu Cilang and even snatched King Xin's coffin.

When Tianqi found out, he was furious: "This Zhou Kui, what do he want to do if he took away the coffin of the prince and my brother?"

Zhang Gui reported: "When you go back to your Majesty, Zhou Kui naturally wants to leave the city and go back to Jiangnan, and by the way, he can use the coffin of King Xin to hold a public memorial service and take the opportunity to join forces with some remnants of Donglin in Jiangnan to continue to fight against the court!"

After hearing this, Tianqi became even more angry: "My brother has committed suicide, and they are still trying to use him instead of letting him get buried. It's really hateful!"

Zhang Guixin said, "This is not very normal. In history, your younger brother hanged himself in Coal Mountain, and these scums still used him, thinking that he had revenge, colluded with Jiannu and entered the pass, and then slaughtered the Han people in the world! You must know that as long as these people can continue to be slave owners of the Han people in the world, there is nothing that cannot be used."

After saying this, Tianqi immediately ordered: "Transfer the order and arrest Zhou Kui immediately!"

"yes!"

Then, Tianqi said: "When Zhou Daodeng was sent to the imperial prison, as for how to deal with it, let the surgical officers of Daming Medical College study it to see if they can break through Lingchi's record, and also amplify the pain, which can also be considered as determining where the limit for a person to be rescued after a serious injury, or taking this opportunity to figure out the direction of the meridians and draw them into a picture to facilitate the treatment and rescue of people in the future. Although this is cruel, it can also be regarded as using the pain of bad people to relieve the pain of good people after being injured and infected."

The special tone of Apocalypse said was calm.

After hearing this, Zhou Daodeng's breathing became heavier and he suddenly knelt on the ground: "I beg you for kindness! Even if I destroy the ten clans of my classmates, don't torture me like this. I am really afraid of pain! Your two whips are so uncomfortable now, I have already tasted the pain."

Tianqi sneered: "You are cold-blooded enough. You would rather relieve your own pain at the cost of destroying the tenth clan."

Zhang Gui suggested at this time: "Your Majesty, don't destroy the nine clans for such cold-blooded people. They didn't care about the lives of the nine clans. It's better to do this. If the medical officers break the anatomical record this time, every five hundred knives can be added to Liu Jin's lingchi, they will be exempted from one clan. For example, this time, those who are unforgivable like Zhou Daodeng should be punished by the ten clans, but since he doesn't even care about his own ten clans, he might as well try adding five hundred knives to him. If he succeeds, he will be exempt from the ten clans."

Tianqi nodded: "This is also a kindness. If the medical officer can make Zhou Daodeng add five hundred swords to Lingchi and not die, he will only kill nine clans, and avoid their tenth clans. If he add one thousand swords to death, he will avoid the nine clans, and the elderly, young, women and children from other three clans. If he add five hundred swords to death, he will only kill three clans!"

"Brother Zhang!"

Zhou Daodeng shouted anxiously, looked at Zhang Gui and said, "Can't you be more kind?!"

"Am I not kind? I'm just right and I'm just telling you to save the lives of several tribes of your tribes in the name of cutting you a few more times!"

Zhang Gui replied.

Zhou Daodeng: “…”

Next, Zhang Gui and Tianqi left here.

These reactionary scholars who were still in Changchun Temple and the reactionary monks in Changchun Temple were gathered up and executed by gunfire, and then sent to the medical school.

As a result, these opposition scholars and reactionary monks were ordered to kneel on the steps outside the temple.

At the same time, the official school of the Shenshu Camp of the Guards held a gun and pressed the muzzle against these people's foreheads.

"Ethics and rituals are immortal!"

At this time, a scholar shouted excitedly.

But shouting is useless.

"put!"

With a command.

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

For a moment, gunfire continued, and all of these people fell to the ground.

Outside the entire temple, blood flowed into a river.

Zhang Gui was not sympathetic when he heard these gunshots, because he understood that although these people were indeed determined enough, they were only the rights and interests of the slave owners.

"I didn't expect that these monks from Changchun Temple would also participate."

At this moment, Apocalypse suddenly mentioned another topic.

Zhang Gui smiled and said, "Your Majesty, this is not surprising. The new policy has actually damaged the interests of monks and Taoists, especially monks. Until now, the Ming Dynasty has not known how many fertile land has become temple property, how many people have become temple serfs, and even many wealthy families have turned many of their property into temple property to evade taxes. Therefore, in the future, in the view of ministers, the monks and Taoists' property of this temple must be well rectified and dealt with."

After hearing this, Tianqi nodded: "It is necessary to rectify it. It is okay to recite scriptures, but it cannot be done without production, and it cannot be taken away from the country and the people."

At this time, at Yongding Gate in the capital, Zhou Kui cried and said to the official school guarding the city: "I am ordered to send a letter to the prince Zhu Cilang to the prince's coffin out of the palace for burial, and ask the military officer to let go!"

Zhou Kui said that, he really took out the imperial edict and glanced around him.

The city guarding official school glanced at the imperial edict and said, "Open the city gate!"

"Slow down!"
Chapter completed!
