Zhu Biao really felt sorry for his father, he didn't have anything to enjoy as an emperor, and even a walk in the imperial garden became a rare pleasure.

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and didn't speak, and led Zhu Biao to the imperial study, where there were already stacks of moving chapters, and the father and son took a sip of tea after sitting down.

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Wait, after a while, there will be people who are not afraid of death to admonish." ”

As soon as the words fell, Mao Xiang outside walked in and reported: "Shengshang, more than 20 officials led by the right capital Yushi Qian Tang asked to see him, and they are now kneeling at the gate of the palace." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang sighed: "It's this Qian Tang again, what's the situation outside of them?" ”

Mao Xiang replied: "There are many literati who are calling friends and companions outside, wanting to play together, hoping that the saint will take back his fate, and those Enke candidates are also gathered together to discuss. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang said in a cold voice: "If you don't even have an official position, you dare to discuss national politics, who gave them the courage to immediately let people disperse them, if there is resistance, they will be severely punished according to the law!" ”

Mao Xiang took the order and left, and Zhu Biao also stood up and said, "Father, son-in-law go and have a look first." ”

Zhu Yuanzhang originally didn't want Zhu Biao to participate, the kneeling at the gate of the palace were all thorns, and Zhu Yuanzhang was about to kill a few, but he also knew that forcible killing was not the best solution.

The most important thing is that Zhu Biao comes forward first, then there is still room for relaxation, the two sides can see through, if Zhu Yuanzhang comes forward directly, then he will have to die a few first anyway, otherwise he will become a fart if he is in Fengtian Hall just now.

Zhu Biao bowed and bowed and then withdrew, it was taboo for those literati outside to discuss national politics in vain, and no one could find fault with them if they were scattered, but these palace gates risked their lives to admonish, but it was their duty.

For example, the leading right capital Yushi Qian Tang, if he is the kind of person who is famous for his death, Zhu Yuanzhang will fulfill him last time, Zhu Biao has also understood this person, this person is already very old, during the Yuan Dynasty, he did not serve the Yuan Dynasty, and he hid in the mountains and cultivated and read.

It wasn't until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty that Zhu Yuanzhang heard that this person's reputation invited him into the court as an official, so he didn't have any merit from the dragon, but he relied on his ability to do the right capital imperial history.

This person is notoriously upright, Zhu Biao also saw an anecdote about him in his previous life, it seems that it was for this matter, he risked his life to admonish, but Zhu Yuanzhang ordered the guards to shoot Qian Tang with bows and arrows one after another, Qian Tang was hit by several arrows, but still struggled to crawl towards Zhu Yuanzhang's side.........

So it is useless to suppress the matter by force, and for a person of true faith, death does not bring him to his knees.

Zhu Biao walked to the gate of the palace, there were many people kneeling on the ground, and after seeing Zhu Biao, he saluted and greeted: "The ministers will meet His Royal Highness the Prince, His Royal Highness will be a thousand years." ”

Zhu Biao looked at them and said, "The Holy One doesn't want to see you today, so let's all go back." ”

Qian Tang, who was in the lead, bowed down and said, "The ministers have already prepared the coffins and put them outside, and I implore His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to report and let the ministers persuade Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Biao looked at Qian Tang and said, "Qian Yushi, do you want to resist the decree and disobey?" ”

Qian Tang was not afraid of this, the old man stroked his beard and said: "The minister died for Meng Ke, and he will be honored after his death!" ”

Zhu Biao wanted to beat someone when he heard this, but of course he couldn't just let Qian Tang go to see Zhu Yuanzhang, otherwise Qian Tang would die, but Zhu Yuanzhang had an indelible stain on him, and Qian Tang would go down in history, and literati and scholars in various places would write books for him.

Qian Tang was also energetic at this time, they were all imperial historians or young people who had just entered the court, in short, they were stunned, but to be honest, Zhu Biao was quite happy to see so many people risking their lives to admonish them.

This shows that the backbone of the reader has not been broken, and everyone has not completely surrendered to authority, perhaps they also want to leave a name in history with death, but what can really support them is a belief.

In the feudal society that advocates Confucius and Mencius, a real intellectual has a kind of ideal of "self-cultivation and family governance and leveling the world", "if you are poor, you will be good to yourself, and if you are good, you will help the world".

These people may give the Zhu family father and son a headache, but they also appreciate them, because there must be no shortage of such people in a dynasty, if the whole dynasty is full of flattering villains, then it is not far from the chaos in the world.

This is also the reason why Qian Tang was not punished for confronting Zhu Yuanzhang last time, maybe Zhu Yuanzhang has long hated the root of his teeth, but he will also hold back his murderous intentions, they are different from corrupt officials and corrupt officials, such people are a great help to the aspiring emperor.

This spirit must be protected, just when Zhu Biao comforted himself, a large number of people came from outside the palace gate, they all wrote the chapter, walked behind Qian Tang and knelt down to Zhu Biao, and then held the chapter to his head and stopped talking.

The number of people was a little too much, and the guards at the palace gate were afraid that they would rush into His Royal Highness the Prince, so they immediately sent a team of soldiers behind His Royal Highness the Prince.

The civil officials thought that Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to suppress them, and their expressions were a little sad, Zhu Biao naturally knew that it could not be his father's order, so he turned around and drank: "All retreat, you are not allowed to come forward without the order of the palace." ”

At this time, the most important thing is to alleviate the situation, not to add fuel to the fire, according to ethics and morality, there is nothing wrong with the courtiers to defend the orthodoxy of the sages, so killing them all can get nothing but chilling the hearts of the scholars in the world, and there are so many high-grade officials missing, where can the court find someone to top.

Zhu Biao took a general look, the high-ranking officials of the Sixth Department and Zhongshu Province did not come, it can be seen that Li Shanchang and others are also working hard to suppress in the rear, if the Manchu Dynasty opposes it, I am afraid it will really anger the emperor.

Zhu Biao and the others quieted down and said in a cold voice: "If there is a dispute between the court and the central government, you should be admonished, but you should not go to the palace gate to make trouble." ”

Qian Tang knelt on the ground and arched his hand and said: "The ministers are loyal to the king, this matter will definitely affect the stability of the world, and I beg the saint to restore Mencius's enjoyment." ”

The rest of the people spoke one after another: "The ministers are waiting for this to come, with no thought of stealing life, and only hope that our death can be exchanged for Your Majesty's retraction of your life." ”

Zhu Biao snorted coldly: "You are going to be famous for death and leave a name for the monarch, is this what you keep saying to be loyal to the monarch?" ”

The ministers kneeling on the ground were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly kowtowed and said, "The ministers don't dare, the ministers don't dare." ”

Originally, they were all full of faith, thinking that they were like sages, sparing their lives for the country and the way, but when the prince said this now, they became villains who deceived the world and stole fame, hypocrites who only fought to the death.

Of course, Zhu Biao's words are okay to bluff those young people who are in the court, and people like Xiang Qian Tang don't eat this, because he really doesn't care about his reputation, whether he is infamous or clear, he only does what he thinks is right.
