Chapter 237: Sunshine and Rain

Zhu Biao sighed, Pinglianghou did something wrong, as for how to punish him, he hadn't thought about it yet, it was a bit too much to kill like this, but if he didn't punish him severely, he couldn't deter the rest of the officials.

After all, the officials of Fengyang Mansion have all been pressed into prison, Zhu Biao is preparing to kill a few high-ranking officials, and the rest are placed in the corrupt official camp, and it is estimated that few will survive after the beginning of spring.

The civil officials are punished so severely, so the military attache naturally can't be let go easily, if according to the law, the fate of this Yongjiahou and Pinglianghou is almost the same, they are just one death.

Of course, in the end, it still depends on Zhu Yuanzhang's meaning, the imperial power is above everything, including the law, Zhu Yuanzhang wants these two people to live, even if they break the law, they can live, and they want them to die, even if they are not guilty, they have to die.

Fei Ju, who was kneeling on the ground, never heard Zhu Biao's answer, his heart seemed to be hanging in the air, he was panicked up and down, and the whole person fainted with hatred, even if he had never been so afraid in the bloody battle on the battlefield back then, it was really uncomfortable to feel that life and death were between the thoughts of others.

Zhu Biao didn't say anything after coming back to his senses, and directly asked Quan Xu to take Pingliang Hou Fei Ju into prison, Fei Ju's body weakened after hearing this, and he hurriedly shouted for Zhu Biao to be gracious.

He originally felt that he should not be guilty of death, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince didn't even scold him, and he was directly taken into custody, is he going to be killed as an example?

Pinglianghou, who was dragged out of the house, struggled weakly, and Zhu Liangzu, the Marquis of Yongjia, who was kneeling in front of the door, naturally saw it clearly, Fei Ju was just an accomplice who was going to be dragged out and beheaded, so wouldn't he be a dead end?

Yongjiahou regretted it in his heart, he knew that the prince was so ruthless, he might as well wait for the trial of the imperial court in Xuzhou, now this is not a self-defeating net, he wants to get up and go back, but his legs and feet have long been frozen and stiff, and he has also reacted.

How could this be a place where he could come and leave whenever he wanted, without the prince's order, he was afraid that he would not even be able to get out of the city gate, and the pride on Zhu Liangzu's face that was originally strong dissipated in an instant.

I don't know how long it took, Zhu Liangzu's heart was already haggard, and he even thought about the result of the rebellion, no matter how much it was better than being hung like this.

Zhu Biao in the house thought about it, the current situation is very simple, after all, he has already played the imperial court, according to the character of his father, if he wants to kill these two people, he will definitely let the criminal department send someone to take them away, and then get them to the capital to kill.

In this way, it is good to set an example for the nobles in the capital, and the reputation of killing the nobles will not fall on Zhu Biao's head, Zhu Yuanzhang's plan is to purge the arrogant nobles on a large scale and then hand over the power of the nobles to his son.

If you are not ready to kill, then it will be handed over to Zhu Biao to deal with, no matter how Zhu Biao is punished, as long as he does not kill, then his good reputation among the nobles will come out, after all, the emperor is known for being strict with corrupt officials, and the officials will naturally move closer to the prince.

Since his father wants to sing red-faced, then Zhu Biao, the prince, naturally has to sing white-faced, otherwise the father and son have a red face, then it will only push all officials to the opposite side.

Zhu Biao felt that Zhu Yuanzhang's father and son in history also did this, Zhu Yuanzhang governed officials with harsh punishments, and Zhu Biao advised many officials and protected many officials, so Zhu Biao is what everyone wants.

This is like Zhu Yuanzhang is hanging in the air, and the officials are like fragile grass under the sun, they naturally can't stand it, and Zhu Biao is like a big tree, although it can't be compared with the sun, it is enough to shade the officials in his shadow, give them shade, and let them have a chance to breathe.

Everyone can only rely on this big tree for their lives, and will do their best to help him grow stronger, it is in their own interests, only when this tree grows, and even one day replaces the sun, they can be considered truly liberated.

The most important thing is that this is what the sun in the sky wants to see, the sun and rain will only nourish the tree, hoping that he can grow up smoothly.

Zhu Biao rubbed his eyebrows and asked Quan Xu to call Yongjiahou in, he actually wanted to kill this person, but he didn't know the meaning of the imperial court yet, and now he could scare and scare at most.

After a while, Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu was dragged in, this person has basically fallen into a semi-comatose state now, after all, kneeling in the snow is not a trivial matter, that is, these generals are physically good enough, if the others are estimated to be dead at this time.

Quan Xu used his eyes to signal whether he would wake him up, Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Liangzu, who was unconsciously curled up into a trembling ball, and shook his head, in the end, he is a general who has made great contributions to the country, and there is no need to be so humiliated if he wants to kill.

Zhu Biao then reviewed the documents, Zhu Liangzu slowed down two pillars of incense before he came back to his senses and knelt on the ground again, and looked at the young man with a leisurely look with palpitations, he really thought that the prince was going to freeze him to death before he lost consciousness.

Zhu Biao asked softly, "When was the last time this palace saw Yongjiahou?" ”

Zhu Liangzu said in a muffled voice: "When His Highness returned from the Northern Expedition, the minister greeted him outside the city. ”

Zhu Biao nodded and said: "I remember this palace, but Yongjiahou at that time was also high-spirited, what is wrong with this now, so embarrassed." ”

Zhu Liangzu let out a breath and said: The last general made a big mistake with a desire for profit, and asked His Highness to calm his anger. ”

Zhu Biao couldn't help but laugh and said: "Both of you want this palace to calm your anger, but this palace is not angry, so where does your anger come from?" It's just a pity that the two marquis with great achievements have come to this step. ”

Zhu Liangzu was also confused at this time, whether His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was angry or not, if he wanted to kill him, he would have a good time, what is this now, he just buried his head on the ground without answering, a casual look.

Zhu Biao didn't get the news and didn't bother to tell him more, so he directly asked Quan Xu to escort him down, unlike Fei Ju's struggle, Zhu Liangzu looked relieved and was taken away very obediently.

At this time, the Fengyang prefect outside dared to come in to report, they were also nervous for a day, no one could figure out what the prince thought, this matter is not a trivial matter, strictly speaking, he is also guilty of the Fengyang system.

In the evening, Changmao Guo Chong ran back from outside, and as soon as this matter was issued, Zhu Biao sent them to chase in the direction of Huai'an Mansion with a warrant, and they had to make amends, in case they could recover some materials that had not been sent away, after all, shipping was not so easy.

Chang Mao walked into the house and saluted Zhu Biao and said: "Your Highness, most of the materials have been sent to the north and cannot be recovered, only a small part should be the share of the Huai'an prefect, and he should be ready to sell them to the north in a month." ”

Zhu Biao nodded and finally had some results: "Has the Huai'an Prefect taken it?" ”

Chang Mao scratched his head and said: "He probably received the news in advance, and before we entered Huai'an Mansion, he took his wife and children by boat and fled to somewhere." ”
