Time Travel: After Seizing the Throne, I Lead the Ming Dynasty to Take Off

Zhou Dexing was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.

Zhu Yunhuan had been waiting for an opportunity to get rid of him, but now... Why? There is no solution!

Song Zhong's voice fell into his ears.

It was like thorns piercing his eardrums.

After a moment of shock, Zhou Dexing stood up and muttered, "The whole family was executed... No... It was just a palace maid..."

Then he roared, "Your Majesty the Great and I have been playmates since childhood, and I have followed Your Majesty all the way to achieve great military exploits. How could he attack my entire Zhou family over such a trivial matter? There is no such thing in the world!"

Song Zhong shook his head and chuckled, "Marquis Jiang Xia can certainly be considered an old friend of His Majesty."

"But our current emperor also said that if we talk about old friendship, the late emperor was Zhou Ji's uncle. It's unreasonable for him to indulge in pleasure with a woman just a few days after his uncle's death!"

"Come here, kidnap those who don't leave!"

"Zhou Dexing is no longer Marquis Jiangxia, but a man of ten thousand sins!"

……

Censorate.

Zhan Hui had just finished dealing with the affairs of the Ministry of Personnel and turned around and went into the Censorate.

Originally, there was nothing major happening in the Censorate recently.

But he received a report from his subordinates: he saw Jiangxia Hou Zhou Dexing and Youdu Yushi Yuan Tai talking from afar.

This critical moment.

What good can that old guy Zhou Dexing come up with?

It was nothing more than a group of people headed by Yuan Tai, who were harassed and bullied by a group of Huaixi nobles in the court today, and became depressed. Zhou Dexing came to put pressure on Yuan Tai.

Zhan Hui was the Left Censor-in-Chief of the Censorate, in charge of the entire affairs of the Censorate.

Although he knew that old man Zhou Dexing would not be able to stir up any trouble, Yuan Tai was still his subordinate after all, so he had to give him a few words of advice.

Zhan Huiyi stepped into the door of the Censorate.

Then he saw Yuan Tai walking out of the hall with his head lowered, his brows furrowed, and he looked absent-minded. He was almost up to Zhan Hui but still didn't see him.

"Master Yuan." Zhan Hui stopped and shouted.

Yuan Tai was shocked.

When I looked up, I saw Zhan Hui.

He suddenly seemed a little guilty, and even though he pretended to be calm, his voice trembled slightly: "Master Zhan...Master Zhan..."

Zhan Hui smiled calmly and said, "Where are you going, Master Yuan?"

Yuan Tai raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat from his forehead: "No... I'm not going anywhere. It's a bit hot in the hall, so I came out to get some fresh air."

Zhan Hui's expression froze for a moment, then turned serious. "Master Yuan, don't waste your good life on such a risky thing. Zhou Dexing is no good."

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tai began to sweat profusely.

Zhan Hui took a few steps forward and walked to his side, lowering his voice and whispering to him:

"Don't worry, I'm just reminding you that my people saw it at the time, and there were no other eyes or ears around."

Only then did Yuan Tai slowly breathe a sigh of relief.

After all, if Zhan Hui wanted to report him, he would not be here to talk to him.

There was a pause.

Zhan Hui continued:

"Sir Yuan, we've worked together for quite some time. I know your character. Furthermore, you're from my office, the Censorate, and I don't want to see you go astray."

"Don't underestimate His Majesty's youth; he is a man of unfathomable depth."

After saying this, he gave her a meaningful look.

Yuan Tai frowned, a trace of confusion in his eyes: "During the mourning period for the late emperor, he planted flowers and plants in the Qianqing Palace? Built a furnace and fired porcelain? This is unfathomable."

"What nonsense about 'filial piety'? Lord Zhan, do you still believe it? He is nothing more than an unknown grandson of the Eastern Palace, who, with the help of those Huaixi nobles, luckily sat on the throne. He is so eager to expose his true nature right after taking the throne. Lord Zhan, I beg you to differ!"

Yuan Tai flicked his sleeves in dissatisfaction.

The intention of making a memorial in Fengtian Hall was certainly to gain a reputation in history.

However, he also couldn't stand this kind of behavior of wasting time on trivial matters and disrespecting ancestors, so it could be regarded as an action that followed his heart.

"lucky……"

Zhan Hui looked at the exasperated Yuan Tai with great interest, and murmured Yuan Tai's comments with great interest, but his mind couldn't help but recall what happened a few days ago.

He smiled self-deprecatingly.

A lucky person who saw the situation in the court with incredible clarity. A lucky person who frightened the three of them into a state of panic...

This new emperor can manipulate everyone!

But he couldn't tell anyone about this kind of thing.

"Alas... Lord Yuan will know it later." Zhan Hui said with a hint of emotion in his tone and sighed lightly.

Yuan Tai curled his lips.

No comment on this.

At the same time, he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart: "Though you, Zhan Hui, hold a high position at the head of all officials, and were once a man of integrity, now you are oppressed by the Huaixi military commanders and dare not even say a word in the court today!"

For Zhan Hui.

He was dissatisfied in his heart.

But while the two were talking, a servant came in from the gate of the Censorate and bowed to Zhan Hui:

"Master, news has come in from outside that Zhou Ji, the only son of Jiangxia Marquis Zhou Dexing, neglected his duties while on guard duty and committed adultery with a palace maid, defiling the inner chambers. Over a dozen palace maids and eunuchs are witnesses."

"His Majesty was furious. He ordered the Imperial Guard to oversee the investigation and execute the entire family of Marquis Jiangxia."

Zhan Hui's eyes were stern, and a complicated expression appeared on his face. He was shocked in his heart. For a moment, it was like a huge storm that could not be calmed for a long time.

Dexing just showed signs of success this week.

The next step was to "execute the entire family"! ?

Yuan Tai, who was standing opposite him, was stunned. Countless thoughts flashed through his mind: If Master Zhan hadn't stopped him just now, wouldn't he be...

Think of this.

Yuan Tai's whole body was instantly soaked in sweat.
