Cheng'anbo, Guo Zuoyong and others were also confused and didn't know why.

By the way, these honorable men all serve in the Beijing camp.

Xu Hongji mobilized the Beijing camp to participate in the frame-up of Ma Mingluan and Zhan Yang, and it was difficult for them to get rid of it.

To put it bluntly, if Gao Hongtu and Zuo Guang succeeded them first, the interests of the Exchange and the Royal Bank of Ming Dynasty would definitely include these nobles, so Chongzhen would not be able to let them go easily.

Amidst the uneasiness of all the nobles, this special night banquet began.

"My lords, please listen to what I have to say." Chongzhen stood up with a wine bottle in his hand and said, "When Emperor Taizu Gao hosted a banquet for the founding heroes, he once said that if you drink from a gold bottle together, you will not spare anyone with a bare sword!"

It’s begun! When Xu Hongji and other nobles heard this, their hearts tightened.

With a sneer, Chongzhen said again: "The meaning of Emperor Taizu Gao has been very straightforward. If you, the founding heroes, are willing to stay safe and keep yourselves, you can enjoy glory and wealth from generation to generation, and your bloodline inheritance can also be with the Ming Dynasty."

Zuo Tongshou, as long as the Ming Dynasty is still there, your title will be..."

"But if anyone dares to be disobedient or do evil."

"Then what's waiting for you is nothing but the sword, deprivation of your title, and even the Yi tribe!"

After saying this, Chongzhen said coldly: "There are quite a lot of nobles who were deprived of their title by Emperor Taizu Gao and merged with the Yi tribe. Do you think it is appropriate for Emperor Taizu Gao to do this?"

The entire Yuejiang Tower was completely silent, with only the river breeze blowing by.

Is it appropriate for Emperor Taizu Gao to do this? It must be appropriate. Who dares to say it is inappropriate?

After a long while, Xu Hongji finally said: "Back to the Holy Father, I think that Emperor Taizu Gao's move was very appropriate. Like Li Shanchang, Lan Yu, Hu Weiyong and others, they really deserved their death."

"I second the proposal." Zhu Guobi and others also agreed one after another.

"Oh, that's right? You said this yourself." Chongzhen sneered.

When Xu Hongji, Zhu Guobi, Chang Yanling and other distinguished officials heard this, they paused in their hearts.

After a pause, Chongzhen continued: "If Jinyiwei and Governor Yingtian are not mistaken, the group of pirates who attacked the Zhan family fleet on the river near Dantu were captured by Caojiang Town and Jingying from Jinshan Daigong Island.

Yes, right? Since then, this group of pirates has been imprisoned in the Jingying prison, so the question is, who is the Dan disciple who let them go?"

"Your Majesty, I am guilty." Xu Hongji hurriedly avoided the banquet and knelt down, "I was not strict with my subordinates and was guilty of negligence."

"Haha, it's a crime of negligence." Chongzhen sneered and said, "In other words, this matter has nothing to do with you, Duke Wei, it's just that Guo Hekuan under you?"

Xu Hongji hurriedly said: "Guo Congkuan, the commander-in-chief of the Beijing camp, Guo Congkuan, is the man who let the pirates go without authorization. He is also a minions of Donglin along with Songjiang guerrilla Du Hongyu. I really don't know this."

"I don't know about it either." Zhu Guobi and others also avoided the table and knelt down.

Liu Kongzhao also wanted to shirk, but in the end he still did not dare to stand up.

Because Xu Hongji and others were not arrested, but Liu Kongzhao was arrested.

At that time, in the prison of Admiral Caojiang's office, had the Holy Lord not arrived, Jin Xuan would have been killed by him. This crime cannot be shied away in any way.

Chongzhen's eyes fell on Liu Kongzhao and asked with a smile: "Uncle Chengyi, Duke Wei, Duke Bao and Marquis Lingbi all said that they had no knowledge. Don't you want to excuse yourself?"

"Bang." The wine bottle in Liu Kongzhao's hand suddenly fell on the stone steps.

"Your Majesty, I am guilty, and I deserve death." Liu Kongzhao turned over and fell to the ground.

"The guilty minister should not have listened to the Donglin Party's misunderstandings, deceived the emperor, and framed Mr. Ma and the Zhan family."

"Okay, finally there is someone who dares to do it." Chongzhen sneered and said, "It's better to admit that you deceived the emperor and ignored your superiors, and framed him. It's better than those cowards who dare to do it but don't have the courage to admit it.

"

Hearing this, Zheng Zhilong, Huang Degong and others looked over.
