Daming: Grandpa Emperor, please get up and sit on my throne!

"A good show?" Zhang Cheng was puzzled, unable to figure out what his deep-thinking master was up to.

Zhu Yunwen ignored him.

Instead, he turned his gaze to Zhao Feng beside him: "It's rare to see you in the palace lately. Is it because of the cases of those despicable people in the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Censorate? Have you reached the final conclusion?"

Zhao Feng, who was in charge of intelligence and prison administration, was naturally busy these days stripping the underwear off the batch of "chickens" who had come to him without asking.

Today's entry into the palace is exactly as Zhu Yunwen said.

They came to request an explanation.

So he immediately clasped his hands in response and said, "Your Majesty, that's right! This time, the case of Zhan Hui, the former Minister of Rites and Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, has implicated not only several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Justice, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Censorate, but also many more officials, which has taken more effort and time."

"We have now thoroughly investigated all the personnel involved, the criminal list, the evidence... and are awaiting Your Majesty's decision. Therefore, I have come to request Your Majesty's decree."

After saying this, Zhao Feng immediately took out a specially made memorial from his pocket.

It was presented directly to Zhu Yunwen: "Everything is here, but there are too many people involved, so it may be a bit tricky to deal with."

This result was also within Zhu Yunwen's expectations.

In officialdom, things are always interconnected, and this case was triggered by issues such as "investigating land ownership and investigating the abuse of power by officials and gentry," which affected the interests of the vast majority of people.

It doesn't even require any personal connections.

Many people will get involved for their own benefit.

It would be abnormal if no one had any ulterior motives.

Zhu Yunwen casually opened the memorial presented by Zhao Feng, glanced at it casually, and a cold smile appeared on his lips: "Troublesome? What's so troublesome about it? It's just a matter of using a few more large cleavers."

"It just so happens that Zhuo Jing and Yuan Tai are having a hard time investigating in the local areas."

"The monkeys are all watching with wide eyes; now is the perfect time to kill them."

The reforms would have to be bloody; this was something Zhu Yunwen had prepared for and decided upon from the very beginning.

The Qianqing Palace was empty, and Zhu Yunwen's voice echoed within it. Although it was very calm, it was like the whisper of a demon. Hidden beneath it was a murderous aura and terror permeating the air, which made Zhao Feng, Zhang Cheng, and Wu Zhenhai feel a chill run down their spines, even in the middle of summer.

Because they all knew that these few words sounded simple and calm...

But sending them out resulted in endless carnage and mountains of corpses...!!!

Zhu Yunwen's gaze remained fixed on the memorial that had been presented directly to him. He yawned as he seemed to be scrutinizing the name on it, and every casual thought of his was a matter of life and death.

After a moment, he didn't look up, but slightly raised his hand: "Come."

Zhang Cheng and Wu Zhenhai didn't serve Zhu Yunwen much, so they didn't understand what this young master meant. But Zhao Feng immediately understood. He swallowed nervously, then turned and walked towards the dragon desk, took the cinnabar brush and inkstone, and placed them next to the cool couch.

Then, he dipped the cinnabar brush in cinnabar ink and carefully handed it to Zhu Yunwen: "Your Majesty."

Zhu Yunwen didn't even look up, casually copying the cinnabar imperial brush.

He then skillfully began to scribble on the memorial: "Tsk tsk, it's true that the bold get rich and the timid starve. With the high-pressure environment that Old Zhu created, who would dare to play like this?"

“These, these, these… those circled, confiscate their property and strip them of their animal skins… those crossed out, confiscate their property and execute them; the rest, take them to the execution ground to be beheaded.”

"As for Zhan Hui... I'll let him go for the sake of him. He was blinded by greed and chose the wrong path, but at least I used him. I'll leave him with a whole body."

"..."

Zhu Yunwen muttered to himself as he marked up the memorial.

Previously, Zhan Hui's case was brought up in the morning court session, partly to expand its influence and partly to test the many officials present. Now, there is no need for that.

Because the greatest value these people have left is to use their blood to achieve Emperor Zhu Yunwen's intimidation of the entire officialdom.

Of course, there is another point.

Zhu Di happened to be escorted to the capital at this very moment, and Zhu Yunwen took the opportunity to show him this good show.

After all, given Zhu Di's ambition, coupled with Yao Guangxiao, that mad and wicked monk... if we want to completely kill all their ambitions and hopes, and utterly frighten them so that they dare not harbor any disloyal thoughts in the future... then we can't even leave them a pair of underwear, let them lose completely, and terrify them completely, so that they know what fear is.
