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 367: Died in front of His Majesty

Xu Guangqi didn't know how to comment on this matter. Would Xu Xianchun die in front of His Majesty just to prove his innocence?

In fact, many people did this, but not many people were actually killed. They did this just to show their determination and scare the emperor.

Usually this is a method only used by civil servants. Emperor's lackeys like Xu Xianchun would never dare to do this because it would constitute a threat and coercion to the emperor.

Civil officials have such privileges, but military generals and the Jinyiwei and Dongchang simply cannot have them. If you dare to do this, you will die.

So there must be something fishy going on here, but I can't tell you yet. You can't argue that what Xu Xianchun said is true, right? Then the Kong family will be doomed.

So Xu Guangqi had no choice but to accept it.

Another point is that if Your Majesty accepts Xu Xianchun's statement, it will definitely be opposed by countless people. At the same time, everyone will also impeach Xu Xianchun.

Now people are afraid to do this because who knows whether it is true or false.

If the Kong family was really taken away and not kidnapped, then whoever dares to make a guarantee at this time will suffer a very miserable fate after the matter is confirmed.

As for impeaching Xu Xianchun, he is about to be killed in a car accident to prove his innocence. What else do you want from him?

Xu Guangqi sighed and said to Chen Hong, "I'll go right away."

After saying this, Xu Guangqi walked out.

On the way, they met Zhang Weixian.

Unlike Xu Guangqi, Zhang Weixian was not concerned about the truth of the matter, nor was he even concerned about the issue of the Kong family.

In Zhang Weixian's mind, someone was about to rebel.

This is a good thing, this is an opportunity.

Now that the General Staff Office has just been established, the position of Chief of Staff is still vacant, and there is a lot of criticism from the outside world about this office. This is the opportunity for me to show my ability.

Thinking of this, Zhang Weixian was so excited that he almost trembled. As for what was said about the Kong family, Zhang Weixian didn't care.

Once the scale of the rebellion is large enough, it will be a war. With troops marching and fighting everywhere, who will care who the Kong family is?

If you really get involved in this, there will definitely be no good ending.

"Duke of England, have you heard about this?" Xu Guangqi looked at Zhang Weixian and asked slowly.

Zhang Weixian nodded solemnly and said, "I've heard about it, and I understand the general situation. Who could have imagined these rebels would be so bold? Who could have imagined that the Kong family would be colluding with them?"

"Duke Ying, be careful with your words," Xu Guangqi said quickly. "The matter has not yet come to a conclusion, so we can't speak nonsense."

Zhang Weixian glanced at Xu Guangqi and knew that he was not speaking for the Kong family, but was worried about what kind of waves his words would cause if they were spread.

But Zhang Weixian didn't think so. He felt that he should not only express his position, but also let everyone know.

If all his actions are consistent with those of the cabinet and the civil service, then what is the point of establishing the General Staff?

If you really want to be the chief of staff, you have to show your effectiveness.

If it were just those minor matters in the past, I wouldn't have been able to do much about it. But this time, it was different. I had to be firm and stand firm.

"Lord Xu, the things the Kong family did were actually connected to the Wenxiang Sect. They resold the imperial court's disaster relief grain to the Wenxiang Sect."

"Now the Wenxiang Sect is about to rebel, and all that food has become their military rations. And you still say they're not colluding? I think they're in cahoots!"

"Now that His Majesty has stripped me of my title as Duke Yansheng, I'm ready to take a desperate risk. I'm certainly unworthy of being a subject!" Zhang Weixian said angrily.

Glancing at Zhang Weixian, Xu Guangqi instantly understood that this person wasn't arguing with him. He was expressing his opinion.

So Xu Guangqi gave up the idea of ​​continuing to talk to Zhang Weixian because it was completely useless.

As the saying goes, you can’t wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep, and his position does not represent the truth.

A stance is a stance and has nothing to do with reason.

Regardless of whether this truth is correct or not, from his point of view, this is the truth.

However, when he thought about the disputes between the court and the public that he would face next, Xu Guangqi still sighed.

He still felt a little confused in his heart. Why did His Majesty provoke such a dispute?

Xu Guangqi could certainly see that this dispute was instigated by His Majesty. However, Xu Guangqi also understood that there was nothing he could do to stop it.

But after you go back, you must think carefully about why Your Majesty did this?

As your Majesty's favorite minister, if I can't even figure this matter out, I'm afraid I won't go far.

The two men walked in with their own thoughts and soon saw Zhu Youxiao with an angry look on his face.

"Your Highness, Xu Guangqi."

"Your Highness, Zhang Weixian."

"Greetings, Your Majesty." After seeing Zhu Youxiao, the two men hurriedly bowed.

Zhu Youxiao waved his hand and said, "Forget it."

After Xu Guangqi and the other man stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued, "I suppose you've heard about this?"
