Returning to the Ming Dynasty as a Corrupt Emperor

Transmigrated to the Great Ming Dynasty, I became Emperor Zhu Youxiao, the Carpenter Emperor. Well then, I'll hide behind the scenes; I'll take the blame, and you all go die.

Chapter 352: Shandong Must Not Be in Chaos

Save your life when you encounter danger? This is not what you should do. Even if you lose your life in Jinan City, you must do it well.

Of course, there is no need to say such things in front of His Majesty.

So Chen Sihai didn't say anything, but he was very determined in his heart. He then said, "If Your Majesty has no other instructions, I will go back and prepare, and I will set out early tomorrow morning."

"Okay, go back and prepare." Zhu Youxiao nodded and said,

After Chen Sihai left, Zhu Youxiao turned to look at Chen Hong and said, "Tell Qi Yuangong to arrange a team to protect him. Tell Qi Yuangong to bring him back alive. Judging from his expression, he didn't listen to me at all. If there is real danger, he will probably risk his life. Although I am happy that he did this and he is very loyal, I need him alive. Those corrupt officials in Jinan City are not worth his life."

Chen Hong quickly agreed, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will make sure it's arranged."

Seeing his own emperor's arrangements and his concern for Chen Sihai, Chen Hong understood in his heart that the emperor really loved this Master Chen very much. If he died in Jinan City, it is estimated that few officials in Jinan City would survive.

In order to avoid such a tragedy, I should explain everything to Qi Yuangong.

So Chen Hong walked out briskly, thinking about what to do.

At the same time, Xu Guangqi and others also went back.

Zhang Weixian called all the people from the General Staff Office and began to arrange manpower and deploy personnel, preparing to take over the entire Shandong army and defend it strictly.

Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezun rushed directly to the residence of the Jinyiwei and dispatched many officials from the six ministries who had come with them, ready to replace the arrested officials at any time.

The case must be solved and the people must be arrested, but Shandong cannot be in chaos. All work must be carried out in an orderly and stable manner, and there must be absolutely no chaos.

Xu Xianchun didn't expect Xu Guangqi and Huang Kezun to come back, but since they came with the emperor's edict, he naturally didn't dare to neglect them and hurried out to greet them.

"I'm honored to meet Lord Xu and Lord Huang." Xu Xianchun said with a bright smile on his face.

Xu Guangqi nodded. This time, he was the one making the decision. So he had to step forward.

Glancing at Xu Xianchun, Xu Guangqi said expressionlessly, "Take me to see Kong Shangsheng."

Xu Guangqi was skeptical about Xu Xianchun. He did not trust this ruthless commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

This person will do anything for fame, profit, and power.

The whole thing couldn't go wrong, so Xu Guangqi decided to meet Kong Shangsheng first. If the matter was as Kong Shangsheng confessed, then it would be a disaster.

"Yes, Lord Xu, please come this way." Xu Xianchun's expression did not change at all. He still had a bright smile on his face and made a gesture of invitation in front.

He was not worried at all, as he had already prepared everything and was not afraid of being robbed.

It is impossible for Kong Shangsheng and Kong Shangli to change their confessions now. Having come to this point, they can only go down this path to the end.

Soon Xu Guangqi met Kong Shangsheng.

Even after a simple treatment, Kong Shangsheng was still very weak. After all, the torture used by the Jinyiwei and the beating by Xu Xianchun had made it impossible for him to recover.

Xu Guangqi frowned.

As expected, the Jinyiwei used torture, and under such punishment, few people could endure it.

Xu Guangqi began to doubt Xu Xianchun's testimony again.

He walked up to Kong Shangsheng and said, "I am Xu Guangqi, the current Vice Minister of the Cabinet and Minister of Revenue. This time, His Majesty has handed your case over to me. This is your confession."

"Now, I'm here to ask you, do you have anything else to say about this confession? If you have anything to say, you can say it in front of me, but there's no harm in saying it."

Xu Guangqi's tone was gentle and his eyes were sincere, trying to reduce Kong Shangsheng's fear.
