    Zhu Houzhao's words brought a dramatic turn to the meeting.

    The ministers were dumbfounded. Obviously, this sentence was completely beyond everyone's expectations. After a brief period of silence, the hall began to become commotion.

    "Your Majesty, I have ordered Qin Kan, the commander of Duke Ning's Imperial Guard, to commit ten major crimes and thirty minor crimes"

    "Your Majesty, your Majesty, personally conquered King Ning's rebellion last year. Why did you do it again this year?"

    "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court, how can your majesty risk his life and abandon the world again?"

    "When King Wang conquers the north, he must have a name. If he has no name and no reason, how can he conquer the world?"

    ¡°¡­¡­¡­¡±

    The ministers were all talking about different things, and many people had panic expressions on their faces. The absence of more than 20 people from today's court meeting had already made them uneasy, but now Zhu Houzhao suddenly intervened, disrupting their planned rhythm.  , it is really unpredictable in which direction the counterattack launched today will develop.

    In the crowd, Cao Yuan's fat cheeks couldn't help but twitch a few times. He also felt a little bad. He had been through many storms and still had his own set of experience in life. Once any planned thing went beyond his expectation, the best thing would happen.  The choice is to stop decisively and make a comeback only after protecting yourself.

    In the Golden Palace, following Zhu Houzhao's magical turn, everyone was in a state of panic. People in the courtroom kept standing up and tearfully admonishing Zhu Houzhao to think twice. Some even knelt down and performed old-fashioned tricks, with their hands raised, looking up to the sky and shouting sadly.  "O late Emperor", in order to arouse the shame of the current emperor, which is so pitiful and almost negligible.

    Seeing the shocked, angry or heartbroken expressions of the ministers in the palace, Zhu Houzhao felt happy. Then he saw that even Qin Kan, the protagonist of the incident, looked stunned. Zhu Houzhao became even more proud. At this moment, he felt  I am a person of high intelligence.  Sitting on the emperor's throne is simply destiny.

    Qin Kan, who was standing in the courtroom, was really shocked. He did not expect that Zhu Houzhao would suddenly come out like this, which not only disrupted the plans of his political opponents, but also his own. He looked up at the dragon chair in shock.  But he saw Zhu Houzhao looking around with a serious face. When his eyes glanced across his face, he winked at him unnoticeably

    Qin Kan couldn¡¯t help but have a bitter smile on his face, this unlucky child

    Although the plan was disrupted, Qin Kan was still quite moved. Zhu Houzhao was too simple and straightforward.  He didn't have so much trouble in his stomach, but he still used his own way to protect Qin Kanzhou. Although the effect was minimal, it was with good intentions anyway.

    "I was moved. Today's agenda must be back on track. His enemies are deliberately trying to kill him."  On the other hand, why doesn't he want to take this opportunity to avoid future troubles?

    Zhu Houzhao didn't know that both sides of the fight in the palace regarded him as a troublemaker. He was still tinkering with his wishful thinking in his mind, pulling things here and there. Anyway, he didn't give those guys a chance to speak. This time the court meeting was just like this.  It's over.  Although he can't make it past the first grade of junior high school, he can't make it to the fifteenth grade, but one day is a day if he can make it, and one more day of success will give Qin Kan one more day to prepare.

    When the hall was noisy, Liang Chu, the great scholar, couldn't stand it anymore. Since his name was "Bachelor", he was naturally a fighter among scholars. Scholars were the ones who couldn't stand going off topic. What's more, he was also very eager to get Qin Kan.  Killed.

    "My ministers, please be quiet and do not lose your etiquette!" Liang Chu shouted loudly, and the ministers immediately stopped talking.  The palace instantly returned to silence.

    Liang Chu stood up, bowed his hands to Zhu Houzhao, and asked calmly: "Your Majesty just said that you want to conquer Mobei in person?"

    Zhu Houzhao nodded: "Yes, there is a reason why I want to personally conquer Mobei. In recent years, the northern Tatars have invaded our border every year"

    Liang Chu interrupted Zhu Houzhao's eloquent reasons very directly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to say any more. Everything can never be done again, and for great reasons, I will never allow your Majesty to take risks again. If your Majesty insists on having your own way, today the court will be full of people."  All the workers were killed in front of the jade steps!"

    Zhu Houzhao was so choked that he rolled his eyes, but Liang Chu ignored his reaction and said very forcefully: "I will not mention the personal expedition to Mobei. I will continue to report if I have something to do."

    After saying this, Liang Chu returned to the imperial court, closed his eyes and stood silently.

    Feng Yuan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, finally had a chance to speak. He hurriedly rushed out of the squad and bowed: "Your Majesty, Feng Yuan, who is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment, has something to do"

    Before he finished speaking, Feng Yuan¡¯s words were suddenly interrupted by a disturbing voice from the crowd.

    "My lord, Ning Guogong, Commander of the Jinyi Guards, Qin Kan, has something to report!"

    The ministers were stunned again, and the hall became increasingly silent. All eyes were focused on that young and gentle face.

    Zhu Houzhao was also stunned for a moment, and then a look of hope appeared in his eyes. Regardless of Feng Yuan's livid face in the center of the hall, he said with great interest: "If Ning Guogong has something to do, just report it."?¡±

    Qin Kan pursed his lips, with a strange smile on his lips, and glanced at Feng Yuan in the center of the hall with evil intentions.

    Feng Yuan, who looked upright, was frightened by Qin Kan's look, and he suddenly had an unpleasant premonition in his heart. What did he want to do when this evil beast smiled so horribly?

    Qin Kan walked slowly to the palace, calmly saluted Zhu Houzhao, and said: "Your Majesty, although the rebellion of King Ning of Nanchang last year was put down by your Majesty's power, the investigation of the aftermath has not ended.  The Jin Yiwei under my command rushed 800 miles ago to deliver a roster, which was obtained from the secret room in the backyard of Prince Ning's Mansion in Nanchang"

    Zhu Houzhao looked curious. He was not pretending. Qin Kan had never mentioned this to him.

    "What roster?"

    Qin Kan looked back at the ministers in the palace and smiled coldly, took out a blue booklet from his sleeves, raised his hands above his head, and said loudly: "From the ninth year of Hongzhi to the second year of Zhengde, Zhu Chenhao spent a huge amount of money to collect information from all over the world.  Beautiful women are rare and used to bribe the capital and local officials. This list records the list of officials who accepted bribes from King Ning. It is very detailed, including the year, month and day, who received what, and who received the bribe.  , there is no mistake or omission, this matter is important, and I dare not be expert in it, so I will present the list for your Majesty and all my colleagues in the court to make a decision."

    After Qin Kan finished speaking, the eunuch on duty in the palace had already taken the roster from Qin Kan's hand with small steps, then ran back and held it in front of Zhu Houzhao with both hands.

    Zhu Houzhao was really stunned this time. He stretched out a hand and took the roster blankly, but his face gradually turned livid, and murderous intent burst out in his eyes.

    The ministers in the palace were also stunned, and many of their faces became ugly.  It was just that he was extremely pale and ugly, and his mental quality was almost starting to tremble. The person who kept his expression unchanged was sweating profusely at this moment. Everyone's eyes were fixed on the roster in Zhu Houzhao's hand, like wisps of soul.  He looked at the book of life and death in the judge's hand with fear.

    The fat face of Cao Yuan, the left minister of the Ministry of War, kept twitching.  His teeth chattered loudly.

    He didn¡¯t expect that at the critical moment, Qin Kan would actually pull the trigger on him without making a move. The moment he made a move, it was extremely vicious, like catching a snake. He stretched out his hand and pinched the snake¡¯s seven inches.

    But no one fights alone in any dynasty.  Both sides always gather a group of people to form a whole, and Cao Yuan is no exception. He represents the entire interest group hiding behind the scenes. In recent years, he has colluded with maritime merchants to organize fleets to go to sea to trade with the vassal country privately. Of course, this group of people  Not a good thing.  He never refuses money when it comes to his door, no matter how hot the money is, he will not push it out the door, including the bribe once sent by Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao.

    Who would have thought that the rebellion of King Ning had subsided for so long, but Qin Kan had opened up the front account and got a bribery list from somewhere. This list can really kill people.  I am afraid that most of the ministers gathered today will be imprisoned. At that time, let alone killing Qin Kan, it is still a matter of suspense whether he can survive.

    The silence in the hall was unusual, and Cao Yuan felt a chill in his vest for no reason. He suddenly realized that he had made a big mistake, which was more serious than hugging Liu Jin's thigh.

    These days, I ran up and down to work, creating a momentum to create public opinion.  Neither arguing nor taking any action, Cao Yuan even had the illusion that Qin Kan was ready to sit back and wait for death and was not prepared to resist.

    I never expected that this seemingly gentle and elegant young man would be so sophisticated.  He was so calm that he didn't show his trump card until the last momentperhaps, he didn't only have this trump card.

    Thinking of this, an imperceptible bitter smile flashed across Cao Yuan's face.

    In Qin Kan¡¯s eyes, he might be just a clown jumping up and down.

    At this moment, alarm bells rang in Cao Yuan's mind, and his intuition told him that he could not continue today, otherwise he would be killed. Qin Kan was far from being as simple as he thought, and there were many killers waiting to kill him secretly.  life.

    Cao Yuan is an old fox who has experienced many storms in the court. He has survived countless stormy waves without any danger. He relies on the intuition in his mind now, so he can move forward and retreat freely. He trusts his intuition.

    ***************************************************  ******************

    Zhu Houzhao, who was sitting on the dragon chair, looked very ugly.

    Qin Kan was right. The roster was very detailed. It listed the records of nearly a hundred courtiers in the capital accepting bribes from Ning Wang Zhu Chenhao. Every brushstroke was shocking. There were countless sanctimonious people among them. Yesterday, they looked like they were begging for life for the people.  Shangshu accused him of various faults, and his righteousness was in shambles. But at this moment, their names were vividly written on the paper. They were loyal ministers during the day and scoldedMr. ??, scolded the powerful and traitorous, scolded the current affairs, and scolded them heartily. At night, he acted as a traitor, collecting bribes, beauties, and curios, and he was extremely happy.

    A feeling of being betrayed and fooled arose in Zhu Houzhao's heart, and he was really angry.

    Looking up and looking around, he saw Feng Yuan standing in the middle of the hall with a pale face and a distraught face. Zhu Houzhao frowned and said in a deep voice: "What did you say your name was just now?"

    Feng Yuan's knees went weak and he almost knelt down. He said in a trembling voice: "My lord, my lord The Ministry of Punishment has asked Feng Yuan about the matter"

    "Feng Yuan" Zhu Houzhao murmured, lowered his head and searched on the roster for a long time. Suddenly his face changed, he stood up, picked up a copper incense burner next to the dragon chair, and threw it at Feng Yuan.

    With a loud bang, the incense burner hit Feng Yuan in front of him, making Feng Yuan fall to his knees in fright.

    "Feng Yuan! Five years ago, when you were the treasurer of the Ministry of War, you accepted 50,000 taels of silver from the rebellious leader Zhu Chenhao and four maids. You used your authority to privately sell countless weapons to Zhu Chenhao. You still have the nerve to stand in front of me.  ?¡±

    Feng Yuan was stunned for a moment, and then cried out in great sorrow: "I have been wronged! Ning Guogong framed my loyal minister, and I will not surrender until I die! I will not die with my eyes in peace!"

    Zhu Houzhao roared: "How dare you quibble!"

    The two of them had a question and answer session, which frightened countless people in the hall into nervousness.

    It was not just the ministers who had accepted bribes from Zhu Chenhao who were nervous. There was also one person who was even more nervous. He was Yang Tinghe.

    Yang Tinghe couldn't help but get nervous when the name Zhu Chenhao was mentioned, because he had also accepted bribes from Zhu Chenhao, more than once, and quite a lot.  Now Qin Kan said that he had searched the roster from the secret room of Prince Ning's Mansion in Nanchang. With his current status, Yang Tinghe must be listed first on the roster. If this is true, wouldn't today be the day when his reputation was ruined?

    Yang Tinghe, who looked pale, raised his head and looked towards Qin Kan unconsciously, but saw Qin Kan standing in the hall and looking at him. He gave him a reassuring smile imperceptibly. Yang Tinghe's pale face finally regained its rosy color, and his long and loose hair  After taking a breath, he looked at Qin Kan again, his eyes filled with indescribable gratitude.

    He knew that Qin Kan must have tampered with the roster, and Yang Tinghe was completely eliminated.

    With a straight expression on his face, Yang Tinghe quickly turned cold and stepped out of the court without haste. He decided to return the favor and add insult to injury.

    "Your Majesty, I think it is useless to argue in vain. If you want to know whether Feng Yuan is innocent, send someone to his house to check and find out."
