Outside Taipingmen, there is the official office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.
The Imperial Procuratorate of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple are collectively known as the ‘Three Law Divisions’, and the central official office is located outside Taipingmen.
Zhu Gaoxu personally led the Jinyi Guard Tiqi and arrived outside the official office of the Metropolitan Procuratorate with murderous intent.
The officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate were frightened when they saw it, and they did not dare to step forward to stop him. They just watched from a distance.
After all, these are all Jin Yiwei!
Why did these ruthless executioners suddenly come to kill today？
And the leader seems to be Zhu Gaoxu, the King of Han who has just taken charge of the country. Is it possible that on his first day in charge of the country, he will eradicate dissidents？
Liu Guan, the censor of the left capital, and Wuzhong, the censor of the right capital, walked out in a hurry, their expressions a bit unsightly.
King Zhu Gaoxu of Han came with such great fanfare and cavalry in royal robes. It didn’t take much thinking to know that he came with bad intentions.
It’s just that Liu Guan and Wuzhong asked themselves that they were not princelings. Even if Prince Han wanted to eradicate their dissidents, it would be impossible for them to do it to them!
Wu Zhong stroked his beard, looked at Zhu Gaoxu with fear, and said bravely, ‘May I ask why His Highness the King of Han came here？ Why do you need to make such a big fuss and make people laugh？’
Zhu Gaoxu was riding on horseback and glanced at this good old man. He couldn’t bear to criticize him and directly stated his purpose.
‘Liu Guan, the imperial censor of Zuodu, wasted his kindness, was corrupt and perverted the law, disrupted the government and caused harm, harmed the country and the people…’
As soon as these words came out, everyone was shocked and looked at Liu Guan in disbelief.
This Lord Censor of Zuodu has always been known for his integrity!
Corruption and perversion of law？
Harm the country and harm the people？
What is this all about？
Once these two charges are proven, he will undoubtedly die.
Liu Guan’s heart skipped a beat, but he still had a calm smile on his face.
‘Your Highness the King of Han, I don’t know when I offended your Highness, so that Your Highness listed so many unfounded charges against me？’
Liu Guan’s tone was very calm.
Not even angry.
who is he？
The imperial censor of Zuodu in the Ming Dynasty, a second-rank official in the court, most of the top officials in the Ming Dynasty, hold great power in their hands!
Even if you, the King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, are now ordered to supervise the country’s governance, you are not the monarch of the Ming Dynasty after all. You can decide the life or death of a court giant with just one word!
The expression of Wuzhong, the censor of Youdu, changed, and before Zhu Gaoxu could speak, he shouted angrily, ‘Your Highness, King of Han, Mr. Liu’s reputation for integrity is obvious to both the government and the public. How dare you slander him like this？’
Zhu Gaoxu looked indifferent and said calmly, ‘Wuzhong, although you are mediocre as an official, you are better than being honest and self-responsible. This matter has nothing to do with you today. Don’t make do with it.’
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the good old man became furious and his beard stood up.
‘King of Han! Mr. Liu is the king of the country, a loyal and honest minister, how can I allow you to kill him wantonly？ Even if I risk my life today, I will not let you take this person away!’
‘Yes, can Jin Yiwei arrest someone without evidence？’
Li Yuan, the censor of Zuoqiandu, also shouted at the side, which immediately aroused the excitement of the crowd. Even officials from the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple came to watch the excitement, and they all criticized the King of Han for killing Zhongliang and the Jin Yiwei for abusing their power.
Liu Guan, however, stood aside leisurely, watching the scene in front of him quietly, with a bit of disdain in his eyes.
‘Your Highness the King of Han, the old minister is indeed dissatisfied. What’s more, the old minister is a second-rank official in the court. Even if he is guilty, it still needs to be decided by the emperor’s decree. Even if His Highness is now supervising the country’s governance, I’m afraid he has no right to take me.’
‘But I would like to ask His Highness the King of Han. In His Highness’s eyes for acting so domineeringly… is there still an Emperor？’
After hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu got off his horse, walked up to Liu Guan, and looked at the old guy carefully.
Although this man was over sixty years old, he was in high spirits, neither humble nor arrogant in his speech and behavior, and quite elegant. No wonder everyone in the government and the public was deceived by his appearance, not knowing that this guy was secretly embezzling and accepting bribes.
When he thought of this, Zhu Gaoxu couldn’t help laughing, ‘You have a pretty good scholarly demeanor. No wonder no one has ever doubted you Liu Guan. If someone else comes today, you might be able to escape.’
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Guan’s expression changed again, no longer as calm as before.
‘What does His Highness the King of Han mean by these words？ I don’t understand.’
‘You don’t understand？ You’ll understand after you go to prison!’
Zhu Gaoxu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him and immediately ordered, ‘Take him away. If he resists, he will be shot to death!’
Unexpectedly, after everyone heard what he said, they were even more indignant. Wuzhong, the censor of Youdu, even stood in front of Liu Guan.
‘King Han! Aren’t you afraid of the emperor’s punishment for your actions？ The emperor is so wise and powerful, how can he allow you to harm Zhongliang？’
One after another, officials came forward and confronted the Jin Yiwei who were watching eagerly.
Zhao Wang Zhu Gaosui was a little frightened when he saw this, and he retreated in his heart.
Most of these are officials of the Three Laws Division, and many of them are officials and officials who advise ministers and censors.
And it is these officials and ministers who have very hard bones. They defy the sky, the earth, the air, and even the emperor dares to defy them.
Zhu Gaosui didn’t know the whole story now, and he didn’t know what was going on. Seeing the angry crowd, he immediately became afraid.
‘Second brother, why don’t we forget it and go to Jiming Temple to ask for a favor？’
Upon hearing this, Zhu Gaoxu glanced at him speechlessly, then took out the Holy Life Gold Medal from his arms and waved it in front of everyone.
‘Can you recognize this thing？’
Holy destiny gold medal, as if I were here in person!
The next moment, everyone knelt on the ground, including Liu Guan, who looked pale.
‘Holy Holy Gong.’
‘I am safe.’
Zhu Gaoxu chuckled twice, walked up to Liu Guan, and slapped him in the face with the Holy Life Gold Medal.
‘What’s wrong with Mr. Liu？ Isn’t he very arrogant？’
‘What were you barking at just now？ Come on and bark twice more？’
Liu Guan was knocked to the ground by a gold medal. Half of his face swelled up instantly, and he even spit out a mouthful of blood.
He never expected that the emperor would not only give him the authority to supervise the country, but also give him the gold medal of the Holy Order of ‘I am here in person’.
In this case, he is really finished.
Seeing the old man’s pale face, as if he was mourning for his heir, Zhu Gaoxu lost interest and waved his hand to signal the Jin Yiwei to take him away.
‘Lao San, you take the person back for torture, and I will lead a team of people to ransack his home.’
The imperial court’s financial constraints do not mean that the country has no money.
As for where the money is, you have to ask these corrupt officials!
After Zhu Gaoxu and his party left, everyone stood up, and everyone’s face was ashen.
A dignified senior official of the Third Law Department was actually taken away by Jin Yiwei from the official office without any evidence. How could they swallow this bad breath？
Wuzhong raised his arms and shouted, ‘Gentlemen, I am going to rush to Jiming Temple to face the saint and impeach the King of Han for his wanton behavior and harming the loyal!’
‘Please inform His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Yang to ensure that Master Liu’s life is preserved!’
After hearing this, everyone nodded and immediately went to spread the news.
Wu Zhong sighed and set off to Jiming Temple.
There are traitors in the court who are supervising the country and causing chaos. Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been wise all your life, how could you make such mistakes？
The ambition of King Zhu Gaoxu of the Han Dynasty was so obvious that he began to eradicate dissidents on the first day of supervising the country!
If this son is not eliminated, the Ming Dynasty will be in danger!
