Chapter 239: Compromise

After a while, Zhu Biao dispelled this thought, Yongjiahou's death would not affect too much, but this was a bit of a betrayal of his father's trust, and it also violated the tacit understanding between father and son for many years.

It is impossible for Zhu Yuanzhang not to expect his son to fall into such a situation, but except for the holy decree, there is no secret letter to explain how Zhu Biao should deal with it, that is, he believes that his son will make the most rational choice.

Maybe Zhu Yuanzhang just wants to see the young and old son's willfulness once, anyway, with him, he can't turn it over this day, and being too rational can sometimes be uncomfortable.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile when he thought of this, and his mind calmed down, his sudden rebellion was not because of his father or because of Yongjiahou, but because of the huge noble forces, there was a kind of panic that caught him off guard, he knew that the noble forces were huge, but now it was the first time to see it head-on.

Although Zhu Biao's physical age has reached the age of sixteen, he can be regarded as entering adolescence, but his mental age is more than that, and he will not do meaningless things because of his willfulness.

What is the most difficult thing about being an emperor, that is, the power of the world but you have to learn to be angry, learn to tolerate, learn to forgive, this is the most difficult, if you act arbitrarily, it is simple, just pull a beggar, who wouldn't enjoy it unbridled?

But being a good emperor is the most difficult thing in the world, when it becomes normal for you to endure these things without power and power, then naturally there will be no difficulty, but as the supremacy of the emperor, you have to worry a lot.

The confidence of his father who dared to play this game of chess was Xu Da, Chang Yuchun and Li Wenzhong, the three of them now control the army of the Ming Dynasty, and only two of them need to stand on their side, then this game of chess cannot be lost, but it cannot be forgotten that they also belong to the Huaixi nobles.

Are these three people robots who only know how to follow orders? No, they also have interests, it is impossible to say that they will definitely not rebel, in the face of monstrous power, any relationship is false, what Zhu Yuanzhang and his son have to do is to make them believe that the final victory will definitely be on their side, so that they dare not have other ideas.

Of course, the most important point is not how supreme the imperial power is, let alone loyalty and patriotism, but that the three of them cannot communicate with each other, and can only seek the most stable way under mutual constraints, that is, to maintain the status quo.

They have reached the pinnacle of courtierhood, and they will never take any risk unless they are sure to go one step further, but what if they assume that this right belongs to one person?

This is also the reason why the military power must be dispersed, no matter how loyal the general is, even if the world knows his loyalty, the emperor can never rest assured, and the feeling of life and death between the thoughts of others is something that the emperor will never tolerate.

Zhu Biao doesn't believe in Li Wenzhong, doesn't believe in Xu Da, and doesn't even believe in Chang Yuchun, and the same will be true in the future, the Chang family will even be more feared by him, Chang Mao is a rich and noble prince in his life, after all, his son is likely to be born by Chang Luohua in the future.

Zhu Biao let out a breath and ordered Liu Jin to come in and put away these letters, and keep them for the future to remind himself how powerful these courtiers were together, even he had to retreat temporarily.

Zhu Biao wrote down the general meaning of the chapter, Pingliang Marquis and Yongjiahou embezzled the relocation of materials for profit, violated the laws of the imperial court, and should be punished according to their crimes.

After writing with a pen, he didn't bother to take another look, and directly asked Quan Xu to send it to the capital, and then went to wash his face, Liu Jin carefully handed over the towel, and Zhu Biao wiped it clean and looked at himself in the bronze mirror The corners of his mouth slowly rose up.

Then he set off and went to the prison, since he couldn't kill him, he had to act as a good person, Pingliang Hou Yongjiahou was not small, and there were many brothers in the army, Zhu Biao naturally wanted to be a generous crown prince.

In the cell along the way, those errand servants didn't expect His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to this kind of place in person, and hurriedly knelt down to greet them, and Zhu Biao asked a cell leader to lead the way and walked towards the innermost.

The dark and damp prison exudes a strong stench, after all, their feces and urine are also solved in it, and it is not very ventilated, so the smell is naturally not good, and there is the noisy sound.

The criminal officials in the prison shouted vigorously at Zhu Biao, begging for mercy and crying and shouting grievances, and the wooden sticks of the officers who followed behind couldn't suppress it, Zhu Biao walked over with a calm face, ignoring anyone.

When they arrived at the innermost, the cells of Pingliang Hou Feiju and Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu were just opposite each other, and they were both kneeling in front of the prisoners in a regular manner, and their heads were not too waiting, they had already heard the voice of the prince coming.

They are the only ones in this prison who are qualified to let His Highness come in person, so they are not in a hurry and are relieved, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is here in person, which means that they can still be saved.

Otherwise, why do you need the prince to come in person for their lives, but there is still some apprehension in my heart, don't let His Highness read their hard work and work to personally deliver the poisoned wine......

Zhu Biao stopped in front of their prison and looked at their environment, and there were even quilt cakes in it, which showed that no one dared to offend Xungui before the verdict was handed down.

Zhu Biao stretched out his hand and knocked on Zhu Liangzu's prison and said, "How does it feel like for the dignified Hou Ye to be in prison, but how do you feel and talk to this palace?" ”

Zhu Liangzu kowtowed fiercely and said: "The last general is guilty, and he doesn't dare anymore, and he will go around the last general once for the sake of the last general's meritorious service, and ask His Highness to be gracious." ”

Fei Ju, who was on the other side, also continued: "Please forgive Your Highness for a little time, and the last general will also make up for the shortfall by selling his property, and he will never delay His Highness's affairs." ”

Zhu Biao's expression slowed down and said: "Let's all stand up, the dignified tiger general is not ashamed, and he wants to die under the executioner's knife if he doesn't die on the battlefield?" The horse leather shroud is an honor, and it is a shame to be beheaded for sin, and your children and grandchildren will be able to hold their heads up? ”

The two of them stood up and were speechless, but it was obvious that they were completely relieved, Zhu Biao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he still continued: "This matter should be punished according to the laws of the imperial court, this palace remembers your past merits, and deliberately takes it lightly, I hope you two will not let this palace down in the future." ”

The two of them immediately knelt down on one knee and thanked them: "The last general, thank Your Highness for your kindness." ”

Zhu Biao slowly said what he had done with them, and the rest was okay, when they heard that the title was cut, the two of them trembled, and the status that they had earned for decades was gone.

But this is also much better than expected, not to mention that they also know that Daming still has a battle to finish, as long as they don't die, it is not difficult for their old brothers to earn a knighthood.

What's more, Zhu Liangzu felt that the limelight had passed, and the saint might find a reason to reinstate him, and Zhu Biao didn't say anything, and let them lead them to be punished.

Liu Jin bowed to the side and signaled, asking if he wanted to let the errand man do it, after all, these two people were prestigious, and the errand didn't dare to fight without the above meaning.
