Daming: I really don’t want to be an emperor!

But no one cares.

Zhu Yunhuan looked at Wang Chunsan and said, "Since you have confessed, the stolen money will be confiscated by the state treasury and the list will be handed over to the Anti-Corruption Bureau. You will not be rewarded or punished, and your merits and demerits will be offset."

"I obey your order." Wang Chunsan responded with a bow.

The Kong family in Qufu... it's really like when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter; when the wall collapses, everyone pushes it down.

"As for the report made by the Duke of Liang, I believe it is not groundless. Let's put it this way. The Duke of Liang will lead 30,000 troops in the Beijing camp to Qufu, and bring 100 Hongwu cannons and some artillery shells with him. But if there is resistance, kill without mercy!" Zhu Yunhuan directly ordered Lan Yu to lead his troops to Qufu.

Without heavy firepower, I'm afraid it will be impossible to control the area of Qufu.

The Beijing Army... that is the kingly army of the Ming Dynasty, the elite among the elite. With such heavy firepower, its strength will surely be further improved.

Taking 30,000 people with them to fight is a bit of a waste, but sending them to fight is secondary, while confiscating property is the primary thing. Zhu Yunhuan even felt that 30,000 people might not be enough.

"I obey your order." Lan Yu accepted the order.

Zhu Yunhuan hummed, "Since it is an investigation, the Jinyiwei are better at it. Draft an imperial decree, ordering Jinyiwei Commander Jiang Lin as a special imperial envoy to lead the Jinyiwei and the Duke of Liang to go to Qufu to thoroughly investigate the dozens of crimes that the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion has been impeached for. Set off as soon as possible. Wherever you go, it will be like the emperor himself. When encountering undecided matters, there is no need to ask for permission, but to exercise discretion. From now on, all privileges of the Duke of Yansheng's Mansion will be abolished, and all of them will be under house arrest pending investigation."

There is nothing wrong with Zhu Yunhuan's handling of the matter.

The title of Duke Yansheng was not abolished right away; only all his privileges were abolished.

If Duke Yansheng was deposed without any fault, people in the world would have complaints.

It’s not too late to depose him once the evidence is true. Anyway, the Jinyiwei has intervened, so he will be guilty even if he is innocent.

"I understand your order." The eunuch in charge of recording said.

Lan Yu bowed and said, "Your Highness, if the investigation proves it is true, how should we deal with it?"

"If the evidence is conclusive, all of them will be executed on the spot! All cats and dogs that pass by the Duke of Yansheng's mansion will be slapped twice, all ants in the mansion will be rolled in a frying pan, earthworms will be dug out and split into eight halves vertically, all egg yolks will be shaken apart, all flowers will be plucked, all plants will be burned, all leftovers in the kitchen will be eaten up by him, snakes, insects, rats and ants will be killed with knives, chickens, ducks, fish and geese will be killed with swords!"

Zhu Yunhuan replied.

As soon as these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials in the court took a deep breath.

This is... the pace of leaving no grass behind!

Zhu Yunhuan is really fucking cruel.

"Yes!"

Lan Yu's face was full of smiles. I just like to do things that leave no grass behind, hahahaha.

A hundred Hongwu cannons, when they are lined up, wouldn't it be awesome? Now do more meritorious deeds, and strive for the honor of being buried with the emperor in the future, hehe.

The Feng Shui of Zhongshan is really good.

"Okay, that's it for today. Do you have anything else to say, my dear ministers? If not, please adjourn the court." Zhu Yunheng stood up and said.

No one in the court spoke.

The eunuch shouted, "Dismiss the court!"

"Long live Your Highness!"

Zhu Yunhuan left the Fengtian Hall with respectful farewell from all the officials.

"Duke Liang, Confucianism has a thousand-year-old foundation and Confucian scholars are everywhere. What do you think about the burning of books and burying of scholars?" Guo Ying asked.

Lan Yu laughed and said, "All the generals in the world can serve as the Grandson's General. Who among the Confucian scholars in the world dares to move? If they do, their entire clan will be exterminated!"

Chang Sheng nodded, "That's right, if the ruler wants his subjects to die, then the subjects are disloyal if they don't die! This is their own philosophy! Do they have any objections?"

Fu Youde laughed and said, "Yes! Killing him will make his head roll, kill him and make the sky clear, kill him and make the blood flow like a river, isn't that a pleasure? The crown prince's kingdom will not be shaken by anyone!"

"But there are too many Confucian scholars here. We can't kill them all." Feng Sheng walked over and asked.

"Did you see the Confucian scholar? I didn't. All I saw were rebels!" Lan Yu said with a smile.

Chang Sheng nodded, "That's right. It's true that there are many Confucian scholars, but how many of them died for Confucianism? Moreover, if the emperor wants them to die and they don't surrender, then they are traitors who are disloyal to the emperor. What's the harm in killing them all?"
