Zhu Biao walked up steadily and saluted to his father: "The son of the minister sees his father, the prison of the Criminal Department has been thoroughly investigated, and Yan Donglai, the secretary of Dali Temple, is finishing up, and the report will be handed over tomorrow." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, his face slowed down slightly, and Zhu Biao said: "This matter is from the Criminal Department and the Zuo Shilang of the former Ministry of Officials, and now the people involved in the case should be arrested as soon as possible, especially Li Nanhai, the current prefect of Baoding, if he gets the news and flees overseas, it will not be easy to do." ”

This is not without precedent, the prefect of Huai'an colluded with the Japanese to flee overseas, Baoding is not far from the sea, if there is a long preparation, it is not without a chance, and it is not so lucky to be able to do the minister's left waiter, and he will pin his life on not being discovered.

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "When we received the news, we let Mao Xiang personally capture him, and also sent someone to inform Jinghai Marquis Wu Zhen to pay attention to the siege, if he can't escape, we will kill him Ling Chi!" ”

Hu Weiyong, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately said: "Li Nanhai has the audacity to commit a heinous crime, which can be said to be a crime that cannot be punished, and he must be sentenced to capital punishment to set an example!" ”

Wang Guangyang didn't even raise his head: "The minister also thinks so, not only Li Nanhai, but also the criminal department Shangshu has already beheaded the people involved in the case, otherwise the law is not right, how can the people's hearts be right, and how can the discipline be correct!" ”

Zhu Yuanzhang was silent for a while before asking: "Let's ask one last time in front of the prince, are you involved in this matter, if so, say it now, we can still read it for many years and deal with it lightly, if you don't admit it and find out in the end, then you can't escape the capital punishment!" ”

Xu Da replied first: "The minister doesn't know anything about this matter, and he doesn't hide anything from the superiors, so please ask the Holy Lord to learn from him." ”

Wang Guangyang also hurriedly replied: "The same is true for the minister, how can the minister know these things soon after returning to Beijing, but the minister, as the prime minister of the current dynasty, cannot escape the crime of lax governance, and also asks the holy general to dismiss the official and remove him from his post to deter the ministers." ”

Hu Weiyong's routine is the same, now he is showing loyalty and then asking for punishment, Zhu Biao is clear on the side, to say that Xu Da Wang Guangyang does not know that he believes it, but if Hu Weiyong does not know, it is a joke.

Although because Zhu Yuanzhang brought out Wang Guangyang to suppress Hu Weiyong's limelight, the Ministry of Shangshu had the heart to stand on his own, but Hu Weiyong was still the first person in the dynasty, not only the Huaixi nobles supported, Zhongshu Province was his Yiyantang, and the six departments belonged to Zhongshu Province, how could the criminal department escape Hu Weiyong's eyes.

There are too many personnel in the six departments, and the official department Shangshu wants to take advantage of Wang Guangyang and Hu Weiyong's confrontation to gather the six departments, but the other Shangshu does not necessarily think so, at least Zhu Biao knows that the military department Shangshu and the household department are deeply involved with Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the left and right prime ministers who resigned at the same time, at this time, Wang Guangyang's role was no longer large, and the rest of the ministers would inevitably hug Hu Weiyong tightly in order to protect themselves.

The father and son looked at each other and had a tacit understanding, although it was a few months earlier than expected, but it has nothing to do with the overall situation, Hu Weiyong will go on stage sooner or later, who will sing the big drama if he doesn't come on stage?

There was a commotion outside, and the nobles who had been beaten by the board came back, and when they heard this joy, they knew that the people below didn't fight hard, after all, the law does not blame the public, and so many princes and princes dare to offend.

Zhu Yuanzhang announced that hundreds of officials entered the palace, Zhu Biao walked up the imperial steps and stood below the emperor, looking down at the officials who walked in, the civil officials were pale, and the generals were so well-behaved that they couldn't even find fault with the imperial history.

Everyone knelt on the ground to plead guilty, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at them coldly and said coldly: "Let's still say the same thing, if you make a mistake, then stand up, you are all decent, don't cry to us at the end and call your mother, I don't want to see it!" ”

As he spoke, the still unconscious Shangshu of the Criminal Department was carried in and thrown directly on the ground, if someone must have stood up and said something insulting to Sven, but now no one wants to intercede for a person who is going to die, in case he is implicated, he will kill the whole family.

The official department Shangshu exhaled deeply, stood up and walked to the side of the criminal department Shangshu and knelt down, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his official department indifferently, and then turned his eyes to other officials, and suddenly shouted grievances and the voices of others to clear up the relationship with others came and went.

But there is still no one standing up, the heart of luck is really magical, so many people who know in their hearts that they will not be able to escape death are so unbearable, Zhu Yuanzhang really can't understand.

Time passed so quickly, every official tried their best to show their loyalty and flattery, and the emperor always looked at it so indifferently, with mockery in his eyes, but they couldn't give up, once they gave up, there was nothing.

It wasn't until the people below said that they looked depressed and their voices were hoarse, Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, and without punishing anyone, he directly announced his retreat from the dynasty, and the civil officials seemed to be desperate, but no one dared to be too happy, but they knelt for too long and said too much, and too many people couldn't stand up.

Zhu Biao didn't say anything when he saw their trembling bodies, he turned around and left directly, and the nobles who were holding their buttocks and watching the jokes were stunned, what the hell, Lao Tzu took the court staff just to see these things that he likes to see, why is there no more.

Yan'an Hou Tang Shengzong stood up and stomped his feet and said: "The upper position will not be raised high and put down gently, then we are not convinced, such a big thing has passed like this?" ”

Xu Da stood up and looked at the civil officials who were a little happy and turned around and left, Song Guogong and the others glanced at each other and left, and the rest of the nobles were angry, good guys, we can't wait to be hacked to death if we do something, no one cares about these dogs?

The higher the status, the more clear the person is about Zhu Yuanzhang, how can he let go of this kind of thing, and the civil officials gradually reacted, if the emperors of other dynasties may estimate that the situation is stable, and the big things will turn into small things, but what kind of character is it today...

It took a while for the civil officials to stand up, they were almost fainting on their knees, it was no joke to kneel on the hard floor for a few hours, how could they stand this delicate and expensive official, not to mention that the oppression they suffered psychologically was even more tiring, and now they were physically and mentally exhausted, and they just wanted to go back to their homes to rest.

Zhu Biao followed behind his father and said: "If they kill themselves directly after returning home, it will be cheaper for them." ”

Lao Zhu smiled and said: "If you still have a face, it doesn't matter if you commit suicide, it's not that we look down on them, these people don't give up when they don't get to the Yellow River, they always think about luck, we have to cure their stinky problems." ”

"Biao'er, you have to remember that people can sometimes withstand severe torture, but they may not be able to withstand repeated fear and anxiety, and the harshest punishment for corrupt officials, corrupt officials, and hypocrites is nothing more severe than this!"
