Chapter 49: Thanks to Zhu Tong Xiaolangjun
Before Zhu Yuanzhang could open his mouth to interrogate, a few people put all the responsibility on Ouyang Lun, the master of the horses.
Zhu Yuanzhang smiled coldly and said:
"Look at it, this is what you said about Guotai and Min'an, right?"
Everyone hung their heads, eager to dig the hole into it.
"I know that there are still many corrupt people among you, if it weren't for Zhu Tong's help this time, we would still be kept in the dark by you."
As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Zhu Tong and continued:
"Say good things every day, treat us as faint kings, right?"
"Look in the mirror and see if it's ugly!"
"We're all ashamed of you!"
Everyone listened to Zhu Yuanzhang's reprimand silently, and did not dare to make a little noise.
After that, Zhu Yuanzhang turned to look at Ouyang Lun and said:
"Deprive Ouyang Lun of all his titles, demote him to a commoner, never hire him, and exile him to the border."
When Ouyang Lun heard this, it was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day in an instant, and he was shocked that he didn't slow down for a long time, and after a long pause, he hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him:
"Thank you for your father's grace not to kill."
"Don't call us father, we think you're disgusting! We don't have a son-in-law like you. ”
Zhu Yuanzhang said.
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Zhu Yuanzhang trembling, and they understood that His Majesty was really angry this time.
"Drag them all down, we think they have dirty our hall!"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to add, waving his hand in annoyance.
This is not only a violation of law and discipline, but also an insult to the dignity of the royal family.
Ouyang Lun was originally a rare new science and technology scholar, and he had always performed well before he was selected as a colt by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Who knew that this person colluded with the minister, violated the law and discipline, disrupted the court, and insulted the reputation of the royal family.
However, officialdom has always been replaced by the old and the new, and the fall of Ouyang Lun also means the gloom of the horse and his henchmen.
It will also make room for newcomers, and more importantly, pave the way for Zhu Tong.
At this time, Li Shanchang finally breathed a sigh of relief, this case was thrilling after all, he touched the sweat on his forehead, and sat on the stool panting.
Picking up the tea on the table and pouring it down, the cold tea liquid went down his throat and into his heart and lungs, temporarily suppressing the uneasiness in his heart.
I said to myself:
"It's dangerous! It seems that His Majesty will not pursue it for the time being, and the case of the concubine is over, so you have to be more careful in the future, Your Majesty is really unfathomable! ”
Thinking about it, he immediately looked at Li Wenzhong and Feng Guosheng.
The two of them also seemed to have just experienced a nightmare, their clothes were soaked, although they were also experienced in the battlefield for a long time, and they were used to seeing life and death, but they were still trembling in the face of His Majesty's majesty.
Maybe there is a ghost in the heart, or maybe after being comfortable for a long time, you can't face life and death, and when greed is satisfied, you are even more afraid of death.
Since the war in the world subsided, these two people had nothing else to do, so they turned around and participated in the Huaixi Xungui faction.
There is an inexplicable entanglement of interests with the colt, and they are more unscrupulous in comparison.
Because of his power, he didn't pay attention to the law of the country at all, but he was extremely timid in the face of Zhu Yuanzhang.
After a while, the horses and the others were taken out of the main hall, and the tension of the ministers was completely eased.
At this time, the little Langjun Zhu Tong, who everyone paid attention to, didn't pay much attention to him when he just came in, and at this time he felt that this person was not ordinary.
The party of the horse was cut off, and it turned out to be a plan by this person, which shows that this person's ability is great, and even the emperor attaches so much importance to it, so it can be seen that there will be a seat for this person in the court in the future.
Some people watched Zhu Tong and wanted to seek some benefits from this person, but they were all relatively low-status people.
More people are disdainful, their own merits and titles are all based on the death of the battlefield to get their lives back, he is a hairy boy just by virtue of a three-inch incorruptible tongue, and some strange tricks and tricks to become among the powerful?
This is impossible, and His Majesty is only using him temporarily, and maybe in a few days he will continue to go home and guard his title.
And the vast majority of people are very curious about this rookie, why His Majesty attaches so much importance to him, this person's energy must not be underestimated, and he will definitely play a pivotal role in the empire in the future, so in the end, don't offend, stay away.
At this time, Liu Bowen smiled mysteriously, he had already seen through His Majesty's intentions, although this Zhu Tong Xiaolangjun was outstanding, what really mattered was his mysterious identity.
As for the case of the concubine, Zhu Tong's role is important, but the credit can be big or small, and everything in a thought has been planned and completed in His Majesty's heart.
It seems that the reason why His Majesty raised Zhu Tong high was to prepare for the throne in the future.
The reason why Liu Bowen saw it clearly was that he was completely a bystander, and he did not participate in any corruption in the horse from beginning to end, let alone form a party for personal gain.
Unlike Li Shanchang and his ilk, who trapped themselves in the authorities from the very beginning and couldn't extricate themselves, fortunately, His Majesty did not pursue them too much, so that they would not be imprisoned and would not be able to protect themselves in the evening.
Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Tong felt a little uncomfortable.
What's wrong with these guys, they are changing their faces here one by one, they must have been involved in the case of the colt just now, so they are so nervous.
And now he looks at himself strangely, didn't he just explain to them about the refined salt, and he wouldn't look at me with such eyes, right?
Strange people, could it be that they resented me for giving His Majesty advice and arresting the donkey?
In ancient times, there was such a phenomenon, the famous cool official under Wu Zetian in the Tang Dynasty came to Junchen, and offended many people for Wu Zetian, and everyone could not be angry with the emperor, but pointed the finger directly at him.
Are these guys ready to deal with me later?
It's not like that! How could that sluggish look be a harbor of evil?
But in short, it is very complicated, there is envy, jealousy, worship, and a deep plan.
Zhu Tong couldn't help but sigh in his heart:
"Sure enough, the officials are all human beings, and one by one it seems to have countless calculations, which makes people unguardable."
Thinking about it, Zhu Tong turned his head and looked at Yang Xian, Yang Xian and his father-in-law were originally friends, and he was also familiar with this senior.
He smiled at him as a sign of respect.
Yang Xian also nodded slightly, today is the first time he has learned that Zhu Tong is actually an earl, and he also knows His Majesty.
What shocked him the most was that His Majesty seemed to be very angry with Zhu Tong, which was an indescribable feeling, and there was an obvious difference from the normal relationship between monarchs and ministers.
His Majesty had more than just an ordinary respect for this young man, but also an expectation, a very certain expectation.
Thinking of this, I suddenly remembered that the teacher Liu Bowen said the day before yesterday that he would not let himself investigate the matter of the salt farm, and it seems that the teacher has long known His Majesty's importance and expectations for Zhu Tong.
I couldn't help but gasp, now I feel more and more that I can't understand the Zhu Tong in front of me, is this still the Zhu Tong I knew before!?
