Chapter 61: Li Shanchang: What is Zhu Tong's background?
After the Lanba case ended, Ying Tianfu temporarily restored calm,
Calm is only the appearance, and behind it is an undercurrent.
The people talked about it, but they were only amazed by the continuous major events in recent days.
The snow still covered the most secret things of the Ming Dynasty, but it was extremely difficult to confuse someone's sharp gaze.
The aftermath of the Lan Ba case stirred up irrepressible shocks at the top of the Ming Empire.
All the forces and the core of the power all looked at Zhu Yuanzhang's move, puzzled.
His Majesty's move is also completely different from the style of acting in the past, which makes people puzzled, first the case of the horse.
The severity of the punishment is unparalleled, and the breadth of the cases involved is astonishing.
What's more, the case of Lan Ba actually dispatched His Majesty's secret guard Jin Yiwei, and in any other incident, Jin Yiwei has never executed criminals in public in public.
And the most unexpected thing is the result, depending on His Majesty's intention.
After Lan Ba and the others were pardoned, a bloody killing still occurred outside the noon gate, and all the people involved were killed by guillotines in the center of the noon gate.
Another bloody wash of the blue bricks on the ground of the noon gate.
A foot-thick layer of snow quickly melted away at a speed visible to the naked eye, and little by little, the milky white blood turned into a blood-red smoothie.
A pale red foam splashed when he stepped on it, and wisps of heat rose from the broken wound of the corpse.
Although he had been beheaded, his body was still twitching, as if he was making a final struggle.
In a moment, countless mad dogs surrounded and licked the blood on the ground, and the remains on the execution ground were cleaned up one by one.
The smell of people gradually faded, and batch after batch of crows came to do the final cleaning work.
"It's the second one! I wonder what's going to happen next! ”
"I hope there won't be another time!"
In a teahouse, two tea customers were drinking tea and chatting, and the white air in the teapot spewed down the spout of the teapot.
The white air seems to be particularly afraid of the cold air at this time,
One by one, screaming.
In the early years of the Ming Dynasty, the habit of making tea since the Northern Song Dynasty was still inherited, but this extravagant atmosphere was only retained in the scholar class.
After all, only the bureaucracy can be so leisurely, and at the same time capable of gossiping around the fireplace.
Sitting opposite was Li Shanchang, who had just seen the noon gate in this teahouse, and the scene in front of him had already surprised Li Shanchang.
Accompanying Li Shanchang was Hu Weiyong.
Hu Weiyong put down the teacup, leaned forward and said:
"Engong, this incident all originated from a Lang Zhong named Zhu Tong."
"Oh? Zhu Tong? ”
"I didn't expect that a little Zhu Tong would set off two bloody purges one after another."
Li Shanchang said slowly, and when he said this, he suddenly thought of something and was stunned for a moment, and his eyes widened as big as copper bells for a moment.
Hu Weiyong noticed the change in Li Shanchang's face on the side, and hurriedly asked:
"Engong, what's wrong?"
Li Shanchang was stunned and didn't speak, as if he hadn't heard Hu Weiyong's words at all.
Li Shanchang noticed Zhu Tong, who had been knighted in less than a month.
It was also he who opened the salt works!
The prince's banquet was courtesy!
The ban on horses has made a great contribution!
He has been treated well by His Majesty many times!
Now that this matter is inseparable from him, who is he?
What exactly is the background?
Why is there him every time?
What means does this Zhu Tong have to make His Majesty favor him so much?
Li Shanchang was confused for a while, and he really couldn't figure out why there were all Zhu Tong, all of them were Zhu Tong!
At this time, most of the water in the teapot had been stolen by Qi Lang, and the teapot body issued a sharp distress alarm.
Immediately rescued Lee Sun-chang from his terrifying contemplation.
But it didn't save him mentally, he was still confused, still terrifying.
"Eun Gong, is something wrong?"
Hu Weiyong asked curiously.
Li Shanchang then said:
"Don't you think Zhu Tong has been too active lately?"
"The old man can't figure it out!"
Hu Weiyong suddenly realized:
"Indeed, since the queen mother made the emperor's list, he has been behind everything."
"And the younger generation found out that Xin Guogong attaches great importance to this person!"
"Is there anything special about this man?"
Li Shanchang paused, shook his head helplessly and said:
"The old man can't figure it out!"
......
Liu Bowen's house,
Liu Bowen was watching the snow in the courtyard, and the falling silver flowers aroused Liu Bowen's poetry.
Then he opened his mouth and said:
"Night dreams of Xiongguan snow, the dragon is frightened..."
"Father, something has happened, and Lan Ba has caused a big trouble again."
Liu Lian came back from going out and walked while talking.
"You kid, you have disrupted your father's thoughts, isn't it often that Lan Ba gets into trouble!"
"Don't tell your father about this kind of trivial matter, Your Majesty will naturally deal with it in the future."
Liu Bowen said unhurriedly.
"No, my father made a move this time and killed hundreds of people!"
Liu Bowen was so frightened that he dropped the scroll in his hand in the snow, and said in a panic:
"So fast?"
"Your Majesty is confused, how can you kill Lan Ba at this time, Beiyuan hasn't solved it yet!"
"It's broken, something big is going to happen, hurry up and prepare a sedan chair, and my father is going to enter the palace to meet Your Majesty."
Looking at his father's shocked face, Liu Lian said:
"No, my father Lan Ba was not killed, he was pardoned by His Majesty, and it was the soldiers involved in the case who were killed."
"Can you finish it all at once?"
Liu Bowen said that his nervousness gradually eased.
I thought in my heart, Your Majesty is paving the way for Zhu Tong to ascend to the throne, and the prince of the Ming Dynasty will be this Xiaolangjun in the near future.
The old man was quite satisfied with this little gentleman, and he saw it the last time they met.
This man is definitely a wise lord, who has a heart for the world at a young age, and has no fear in the face of evil.
Even Lan Ba didn't bow his head, and the words of ordinary people tend to be inflammatory.
wiped out the last trace of conscience in his heart, and Zhu Tong's actions, the upright spirit can be seen.
The salt farm is well organized, and I often don't go to the salt farm in person, which shows that the way of employing people is also very set.
However, the matter of Lan Ba will inevitably produce huge fluctuations, which will bring a lot of shock to the ministers.
Although His Majesty did not kill Lan Ba this time, he also taught this gang of gentlemen a lesson and gave those Huaixi nobles a warning.
It can also solve the remnant forces in one fell swoop, which can be described as a wise move.
Seeing his father in a daze, Liu Lian stretched out his hand and waved in front of his father's eyes and said:
"Father, why did Your Majesty let Lan Ba go, but killed those soldiers?"
Liu Bowen turned his head to look at Liu Lian, and suddenly felt panicked in his heart, how could I give birth to such an elm-like son?
"Don't ask me everything, you have to think more and observe more."
"You can't rely on your father for everything."
Liu Lian scratched his head and smiled, lowered his head, and did not speak, Liu Bowen continued:
"If Your Majesty lets everyone go, then how can you show the power of the Son of Heaven, and how can you control the ministers?"
