Chapter 289: The Patrol of Beiping
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry, and pointed at the other party's head with his Shang Fang sword and scolded.
"Do you know how to beg for mercy? Do you know the rules we have set, anyone who embezzles sixty taels of silver will be beheaded for public display, how much have you been greedy for selling fake drugs for so long? How many times will we kill you? ”
This guy said with a blank face.
"The minister doesn't know how much he has embezzled, but he only knows that every day a lot of money enters the house, and then buys houses, fields, slaves and maids, and there is never a shortage of money."
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes froze, and he asked directly.
"Let's ask you again, is the assassin who sent someone to infiltrate Lu Ning's study that day to commit murder, is it your person, and who else is your accomplice, although it is recruited from the truth!"
After thinking about it for a long time, Zhu Jianye only admitted that there were his own people among the imperial doctors who were responsible for treating the crown princess.
When Lu Ning overturned the treatment of the imperial doctors, they realized that these drugs would definitely be exposed, so they bought off a guard from the prince's mansion and quietly passed on the news.
He is also responsible for handing over the news to the downline, as for who is the downline handed over, and who sent the assassin? I don't know anything about it.
Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly thought of something and called Quartz over again.
"That day, the prince handed over some suspects to you, and you said that they committed suicide in fear of crime, didn't you supervise them by the side? Why let them commit suicide? ”
Quartz knelt on the ground in fright and argued.
"Your Majesty, the minister was wronged, those people were sent to the prison before they could be tortured, they had already vomited black blood and died, as for who poisoned it, the minister didn't know, and there was also Lu Ning, the prince of Fuguo, who came with the prince at that time."
Hearing these people biting back and forth, they climbed onto Lu Ning's body again.
Zhu Yuanzhang immediately realized that the water in the East Palace was also very deep. There are many things that are even more difficult to clean up when you figure them out.
So he immediately sent a holy decree, calling Kong Datong, the deputy commander of Jinyiwei, to take over as the commander, and the original commander made Quartz derelict his duties, causing important people to die unexpectedly, and he was dismissed from his post and never used for the people.
Then he issued another holy decree: deprive Zhu Jianye of the title of duke of Zhenguo, cancel the surname, and still change his name to Zhang Dahu.
According to the law of Da Ming, he should have been skinned and grassed, remembering his exploits of the year, and ordering him to commit suicide immediately and leave him a whole corpse.
As for other shops that counterfeit and sell counterfeits, they were banned as soon as possible, and the shopkeepers inside, regardless of the master and slave, were all beheaded and abandoned to the market.
After this matter was resolved, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly remembered Lu Ning and asked.
"Zi'an, how many months have you been back from Dongying?"
Lu Ning hurriedly replied.
"Your Majesty, the minister returned to Beijing in April this year, and it is now mid-June, and he has been back for more than forty days."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said.
"Now there is an errand that you urgently need to handle, I wonder if you are willing to share our worries?"
When it came to this, Lu Ning couldn't help but agree.
"The minister is willing to share the worries of the emperor's uncle."
"Let's plan, ask your fourth brother to go to Yanjing in April next year, which is the forefront of the defense origin, but now Beiping City, due to years of war, has been damaged a lot, and someone needs to go over to rebuild, let's think about it, now the most trustworthy is you, I don't know if you want to go."
In fact, now, Lu Ning did not enjoy staying in Yingtian City, but was caught between the crown prince and other princes.
He didn't want to get involved in the current party struggle, and the wisest way was to let it go, so he knelt down to accept the order.
Zhu Yuanzhang showed a look of relief and said.
"Tell you to go, in fact, there is another consideration, that is, winter is coming in a blink of an eye, but now Beijing is poor and white, it is said that the common people don't even have materials for the winter, and now they want to call the imperial court for disaster relief, but the treasury has limited silver, you are good at managing money, and if you go there, you will naturally revitalize everything."
It turned out that Zhu Yuanzhang still had this consideration, and when Lu Ning saw that he was talking about this, he naturally had no choice but to accept the order.
So Zhu Yuanzhang officially issued a holy decree, named Lu Ning as the envoy of Beiping, and gave the duke a guard of honor, a sword of Shang Fang and a flag of royal order.
Lu Ning accepted the order, returned to his mansion, beckoned his two wives to him, and told them about the holy decree, this matter has been settled, and it is estimated that he will leave in a few days.
The two ladies were a little reluctant, and Li Xinmin even said.
"I'm going to Peking here, and I don't know when I'll be back. It's better to go with you as a concubine, and take care of you along the way. ”
In fact, Xu Miaojin also wants to go with her husband, but she also needs someone to take care of her in Yingtian's mansion.
What's more, Lu Ning's son Lu Ye is still in swaddling clothes, and it is not suitable for long journeys.
After discussion, it was decided that Mrs. Xu would stay in Yingtian, and Mrs. Li would follow Lu Ning to Beiping.
Before leaving, Li Shanchang, Lan Yu and others invited him over to drink and go to the banquet, which was regarded as a feast for him.
When the wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors, Lu Ning suddenly said.
"Two seniors, juniors have a heartfelt word, I don't know if you want to listen to it."
Li Shanchang and Lan Yu both expressed their willingness to listen.
Lu Ning admonished them, the moon is full, and now His Majesty's first priority is to suppress the landlord Haoqiang, whoever makes the first bird will die.
Now the first priority is to be a low-key person, and always remember that there is a sword of heaven hanging over his head.
If Liu Bowen said this, Li Shanchang and Lan Yu would immediately blow up, and then said it disdainfully.
"Sour Xiucai, which green onion are you?"
But Lu Ning has a good relationship with these two people, and these two people are natural princelings.
Hearing Lu Ning's earnest admonition, both of them expressed themselves very modestly.
"Zi'an's words are for our good, we all remember it, you just have to rest assured to go on an errand."
