Sure enough, the ministers in the palace faintly heard the sound of drums from far and near.

This Dengwen drum was set up outside the noon gate, although the imperial court explicitly ordered the military and civilians to beat it if there was a strange grievance.

But in fact, there are very few people who really dare to knock.

There is no other reason, once you knock it, it is a big case! Of course, if it involves false accusations, it is also a capital crime of raiding the family and exterminating the family.

The price to pay is too great.

For the imperial court, I don't want anyone to come here to beat the drum, after all, when the drum sounds, it means that there are grievances in the world.

So when Zhu Di heard this, he immediately showed anger.

When Jianwen was built, no one came to knock on the drum, but when he came to him, someone actually came to knock on it.

No matter how irritable he was, Zhu Di could only say: "Announce people in." ”

So the little eunuch hurried away again.

After He Liuwen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he subconsciously looked at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin stood upright, looking breezy and calm, only a barely audible smile on his lips, showing his good mood.

At this time, there is a great grievance, which is beneficial.

According to the Celestial Induction, this is a sign that the country's capital is shaken!

Then next, combined with the situation of the emperor and grandson, I am afraid that the matter of the emperor and grandson will not be good.

And once the matter of the emperor and grandson is thoroughly investigated, Zhang Anshi will not be able to escape the relationship.

By then...... Even if Your Majesty wants to protect Zhang Anshi, how can he resist this gushing public opinion?

Xie Jin's heart was relieved, and he felt that a big stone in his heart had finally landed, and without Zhang Anshi by the prince's side, only he, the biggest princeling, would be left.

This He Liuwen is an extremely smart person, he is very good at taking advantage of the situation, and his future prospects are unlimited.

Yang Rong and Hu Guang both lowered their heads slightly.

Hu Guang was worried about Xie Jin, they were fellow villagers, each other's old houses were only more than ten miles apart, and they were in the same year, and now they were together in Wenyuan Pavilion, and this relationship could be described as intersecting.

But he faintly felt that the things that Xie Jin was trying to do were too big, and being able to enter Wenyuan Pavilion as a bachelor was already a very good minister, so why couldn't he be satisfied?

Is the current crown prince really willing to be at his mercy?

And Your Majesty, what kind of person is Your Majesty, once you notice something, how can you be resigned?

In fact, a few days ago, Hu Guang found an opportunity to vaguely remind Xie Jin, but Xie Jin didn't seem to care about this, he just said lightly: Isn't it what a scholar should do to help the world and make a life for the common people?

When Hu Guang heard this, he didn't say anything again.

However, Yang Rong's attitude at this time was more calm, and since he had realized this, he instead put on an attitude of staying out of the matter and being an observer indifferently.

After a while, I saw the little eunuch leading a person into the palace.

The man was in rags.

When Zhu Di saw it, his face pulled down again.

But then, something unexpected happened.

After this man entered the temple, he walked in small steps.

When he went to the hall, he immediately knelt three times and bowed nine times.

He said in an official dialect that was purer than Zhu Di: "Your Majesty Chen Tianping, I have seen His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, long live Your Majesty, long live, long live!" ”

Junchen was shocked.

Such people...... is obviously like an ordinary person, but his performance can be described as courteous.

This is definitely not something that the average person can do.

Many new scholars, once they enter the court as officials, need to undergo certain etiquette training before entering the court.

Seeing how the emperor should walk, how to stand, and how to salute, even so, the officials saluted unevenly, and they inevitably spoke with an accent.

There's no way around it, you haven't experienced enough of it, there's no way to do it.

But this person in front of him ...... His words and deeds are almost ready to be a ceremonial officer.

And...... He called himself a vassal.

Zhu Di's eyes closed slightly.

He Liuwen on the side, his face changed slightly imperceptibly.

Zhu Di was shocked in his heart, and stared at this man tightly: "Who is you, who dares to call yourself a subordinate?" ”

Chen Tianping said: "The minister is Chen Tianping, the prince of Annam. ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers looked at each other.

This is even spookier.

Only He Liuwen looked up in astonishment and looked sideways at Chen Tianping.

Zhu Di frowned and said, "When did Annan send an envoy to Beijing?" ”

Chen Tianping suppressed the indignation in his heart, after all, he was born in the royal family since he was a child, and his words and deeds and emotional management are by no means comparable to ordinary people.

Chen Tianping tried his best to say in a calm tone: "The subordinates are not envoys. ”

"Do you know what it is to be a person who is not called to the Central Plains and is not an envoy?" Zhu Di looked at Chen Tianping coldly.

Chen Tianping said: "I know, the law of the Ming Dynasty, the vassal king is not allowed to edict, he is not allowed to enter Beijing, and those who enter will die." ”

Zhu Di was surprised that this Annan man was also so familiar with the Da Ming Law.

Chen Tianping said: "It's just ...... The subordinate is already in a desperate situation, if he does not ask for help from his parents' state, then the subordinate will definitely die, and now he has entered the capital, which is to sue the Hu clan of Annan for usurping the country, and ask His Majesty to make the decision for the minister. ”

At this time, Chen Tianfang burst into tears.

The monarch was shocked.

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin was also confused, and was busy looking at the Ministry of Rites, but the Ministry of Rites was also confused.

He Liuwen's body suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Zhu Di's gaze fell back on Chen Tianping's body and said, "You continue." ”

Chen Tianping said: "My father, this is the king of Annan canonized by Emperor Gao of Hongwu Taizu, all along, the national politics of Annan have been coerced by the Taishi Hu family, my father is in the eyes of the thief, but the emperor of the Han Dynasty, since then, the Hu family's more and more wolf ambitions, can be described as Sima Zhao's heart, passers-by know. ”

"A few years later, he began to slaughter my Annan clan, 739 clansmen, all of them were killed, and in the court of Annan, all those who did not go according to his will were also killed, and the ministers ...... Minister...... The minister saw him kill my brothers and sisters, endure humiliation, and escape......"

Buzzing......

Zhu Di's mind went blank.

He's really not good at doing things outside of the battlefield.

At this time, I realized that I had been deceived.

And...... Or the worst kind.

I saw Chen Tianping and said: "The subordinate is hiding in the people, and I learned that the thief actually called me the heir of the royal family of Annam, and played the Shangbang, please make this thief the emperor, and then someone quietly told the minister, saying that the Shangbang sent an envoy to understand the matter of the heir, and the subordinate thought that it was ...... Thought...... The grace of heaven is mighty, and the angels will arrive in Annan, and they will be able to show the snow for my Chen family......"

Speaking of this, Chen Tianping cried even more and choked up: "So I discussed with the remaining clan relatives to see this angel, who knows...... This day made the thief benefit, and several of my relatives who went to Chen have never returned, but they have been killed by the thief and the angel together. ”

Zhu Di's body shook, and deep in his heart, an indescribable sense of humiliation rose suddenly.

Xie Jin and the others were trembling.

This He Liuwen was even more frightened, and he said, "No, it's not like this." ”

His voice was so soft that no one heard.

He Liuwen couldn't have imagined that there was actually a fish that slipped through the net, and this person actually came to the capital, and even came to the emperor.

Chen Tianping cried bitterly: "My subordinates heard that after the angel arrived in Annam, the thief gave him thirty beauties, and gave him countless treasures, and colluded with him to deceive His Majesty. And when the angel returned, a ship full of women and treasures of all kinds was filled......"

"Poor subordinates...... Helpless, he had the intention to kill the thief, but he had no choice but to sneak into the capital of the Ming Dynasty, come to see His Majesty, and implore His Majesty the Emperor to be the master of his subordinates. ”

Plot to usurp the throne!

As far as Zhu Di is concerned, this must not be allowed.

And he actually stupidly issued a golden seal to the usurper who plotted to usurp the throne, confirming the legitimacy of the other party, which is even more ridiculous.

This is tantamount to saying that he succeeded in appeasement openly, which was both legal and reasonable, and the Yongle Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, who respected the will of Emperor Taizu Gao, actually supported a traitor.

If this spreads, I am afraid that I will laugh off the big teeth of the world.

And...... It is bound to make people have some unnecessary associations.

Like what...... Some people can't help but think of Jianwen and associate Jianwen's pitiful fate with the Chen family of Annanguo.

Of course, the most hateful thing is that the Hu family actually fooled him.

But what really made Zhu Di break his defense was the people who fooled him with the Hu family...... And the messengers he personally sent.

Zhu Di only felt that his brain was a little dizzy, and at this time, he didn't even have anger, he only felt that there was a surge of blood in his body.

What a shame, what a shame!

The ministers in the palace all looked at He Liuwen.

He Liuwen was already trembling at this time, which he didn't expect.

Obviously, the surname Chen was killed.

The one surnamed Hu promises to kill them all!

Can ...... now How did a prince come?

He prostrate himself on the ground and stumbled and explained, "No, no, there are no thirty beauties, only sixteen ......"

"No...... No...... The minister also refused at first...... But...... But ......"

"Your Majesty, wronged, wronged, he is not a descendant of the Chen family at all, Your Majesty...... Chen Tianping is already dead, Your Majesty must not mistakenly believe the words of this traitor. ”

Zhu Di did not react.

The ministers looked at He Liuwen with a more complicated gaze.

In fact, this is something that no one expected.

Take 10,000 steps back, even if He Liuwen did these things in Annan, who would have thought that someone would come to Beijing to complain?

Even if it was a complaint, this person named Chen Tianping was too chicken thief, and he actually went to the border without contacting the local parents. If it is contacted, I am afraid that as soon as the news comes out, there may be people who may help He Liuwen settle this matter in order to cover it up.

But on the contrary, Chen Tianping actually sneaked in alone, didn't look for anyone, came directly to the capital, and went straight to the direction of Dengwengu.

It was a very risky and premeditated operation.

The purpose is clear, and he travels thousands of miles without being discouraged.

This is in line with his He Liuwen's bad luck.

He Liuwen also seemed to realize that at such a point, he seemed to have no choice.

This is not something that He Liuwen can solve at all.

So he raised his head, turned his neck, and looked at Xie Jin pitifully: "Xie Gong...... Xie Gong ......"

Xie Jin's face was miserable, and he hurriedly turned his face away.

Boom......

With a loud bang, Zhu Di kicked over the imperial case: "But there is such a thing ......"

Zhu Di puffed out his eyes and looked at He Liuwen.

He Liuwen lowered his head suddenly, prostrate on the ground, and said like chaff: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...... Then...... The situation was complicated, Chan ...... Lost hearts and minds ......"

Zhu Di continued angrily: "I only ask Ling, is there such a thing? ”

He Liuwen only felt that his eyes were dark, and he said: "The minister sees the Hu family, there is a king...... This person is rare, and he is also very good for me...... Also ......"

Zhu Di laughed: "Haha...... Ha ha...... In this way, you come to see me, do I have the appearance of a son of heaven? ”

He Liuwen: "......"

Zhu Di said coldly: "If I don't have the appearance of the Son of Heaven, then who do you want to give this big position?" ”

He Liuwen could only cry and said, "No...... Don't dare ......"

Zhu Di was furious: "Why don't you dare, what else do you dare not have?" You traitor, you traitor, and the damned Hu family, dare to fool me like this, I don't kill you, the two thieves, and I became the Ming Emperor in vain. ”

He pointed at He Liuwen and said angrily: "Take it, take it, break the corpse into ten thousand pieces, you must break the corpse into ten thousand pieces, tell Ji Gang, raid his house, kill his whole family, and don't leave any of them." ”

He Liuwen's face turned pale, and he cried out in horror: "Your Majesty...... Your Majesty......"

The guards had rushed in and picked up He Liuwen fiercely.

He Liuwen was in a hurry, and shouted again: "Xie Gong, Xie Gong save me, save me......"

Xie Jin was so frightened that he shuddered and hurriedly lowered his head.

Zhu Di shouted angrily: "I and the thief, I don't share the sky!" ”

The Son of Heaven was furious, and millions of corpses were ambushed.

At this time, Zhu Di was almost so angry that he lost his mind.

A little Hu clan, a royal history, actually regarded him, the emperor, as a fool.

If no one sues, then he will continue to be fooled like a fool.

I'm afraid of these people, holding a beauty at night, enjoying glory and wealth, and I'm afraid that I will scold him for being a big fool.

And what about him, he actually thinks that the Hu family is obedient and thinks that this damn He Liuwen has worked hard.

"Traitor!" Zhu Di scolded, and the more he thought about it, the more angry he became.

Then, step by step, he went down to the temple.

The ministers hurriedly bowed down in fear and said, "The ministers are waiting for ten thousand deaths." ”

Zhu Di said coldly: "Spread the edict to the world, conquer Annan, ask for the Hu thief, tell Zhu Neng, tell Qiu Fu, tell Xu Huizu, teach them to lift the head of the Hu thief to me in front of me, I want to teach Annan that there is no one from the Hu family in the country." ”

But at this time, Xie Jin said: "Your Majesty is angry...... I thought it was ......"

Zhu Di turned around suddenly, but he picked up his arm and slapped it hard.

Xie Jin was caught off guard.

Syllable......

Xie Jin only felt that his head had suffered a thousand powers.

Then...... The whole person flew out, and his body hit the pillar of the temple straight up, and then ...... People languish.

Zhu Di looked at Xie Jin who was spread on the ground, and his eyes seemed to be overflowing with flames.

Zhu Di glared at him and said, "He Liuwen, why did you ask you to save him?" ”

Xie Jin was shocked and hurriedly cried: "Minister...... If the minister dies, the minister will ...... him"

Xie Jin couldn't care about the pain anymore, covering his bruised face, enduring the sharp pain of his bones, at this time he no longer had his usual breezy appearance, only a fear rising from the depths of his heart.

"The minister has nothing to do with him, He Liuwen is guilty of death, and the minister only hates to eat his flesh!"

Zhu Di sneered: "Really? ”

Then, he didn't even look at Xie Jin.

Xie Jin felt that he had also suffered a great humiliation, he still covered his face, and in fear, he glanced at the back left by Zhu Di, and his eyes couldn't help but show resentment.

And Zhu Di looked at Chen Tianping at this time.

Chen Tianping hurriedly kowtowed.

Zhu Di said: "Your business...... I will continue to check, if it is as I say, I will send troops to send you back to China in the near future, and you will live in Honglu Temple. ”

Chen Tianping already knew that he had gone through a lot of hardships, and finally it was done, so he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, thank you, long live my emperor." ”

"Hooray?" Zhu Di said: "I'm afraid you're already laughing at me and being a fool." ”

Zhu Di said that, turned around fiercely, his eyes roamed over the ministers, and his voice was still as cold as ice: "The books you are reading have all been read into the dog's stomach!" ”

Immediately, he brushed his sleeves away.

The hundred officials trembled, and waited until Zhu Di went away, so they felt a little relieved.

Hu Guang hurriedly got up and went to support Xie Jin on the ground.

Xie Jin was stunned and let Hu Guang help him up, but his eyes looked into the void and he didn't say a word.

Finally, when he came back to his senses, he broke free of Hu Guang's hand and walked away.

Hu Guang pulled out a wry smile and slowly walked out of the hall.

Yang Rong silently stepped forward and walked with Hu Guang.

When there was no one around, Yang Rongcai said: "I have made too many ministers on weekdays, and it seems that I have full wings and countless party henchmen, but Xie Gong doesn't know it, although this can teach him to gain power, it can also become a burden to him, hey...... He wants to be Hu Weiyong. ”

Hu Guang lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Yang Gong's words, is it too much?"

Yang Rong glanced at Hu Guang deeply, and said in a deep voice: "I said these heartfelt words to Hu Gong, do I hope that Hu Gong will still have less friendship with Xie Gong, if not, when that time comes, Hu Gong will be in a dangerous situation of death and annihilation!" ”

"The way to be an official is not how proud you are when you are in power, but ...... One has a beginning and an end. ”

Hu Guang was silent for a while, and then sighed and said, "Xie Gong is so talented, but it's a pity that he used it in the wrong place." ”

Then, both of them were silent.

…………

Zhu Di had returned to Wulou angrily, but after returning here, he did not curse, but sat sullenly.

He closed his eyes and suddenly said: "Order the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies to prepare for the expedition to Annan." Let Zhu Neng, Xu Huizu, and Qiu Fu come to see tomorrow, by the way, there is also Wu'an Hou......"

Yisha lowered his eyebrows and said, "Yes." ”

Zhu Di sighed: "It's a shame, it's a shame!" Hey, that thief, really regarded me as a fool, and He Liuwen, He Liuwen's food king's Lu, is so treacherous, if these two thieves are not punished, heaven will not tolerate it. ”

Zhu Di felt sad.

Like all people who have been defrauded, when they learn the truth of the matter, they feel that their IQ has been greatly insulted.

Yishaha didn't dare to speak at this time, he only tiptoed to pour tea and water for Zhu Di.

Zhu Di said: "You say, are you confused?" It seems that I am not as good as Tang Taizong. Now that I think about it, when Emperor Taizu Gao was in power, he slaughtered on a large scale, and I didn't understand it at the beginning, but now I have a little bit of experience. ”

Yisha buried his head and smiled reluctantly, but this smile was more ugly than crying.

"After this incident, I don't know what the people of the world will think of me......"

"Your Majesty......" Yizha finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly bowed down: "Your Majesty, you forgot." ”

"What?" Zhu Di looked at Yi Ha indifferently.

Yisha said: "Not long ago, the emperor and grandson blew up this He Liuwen, and pointed at his nose and scolded him...... Traitor! ”

Zhu Di's body trembled suddenly.

This face with a complicated expression became more and more complicated, and a pair of tiger eyes seemed to become unfathomable.

"Yes, yes......" Zhu Di muttered: "This little guy, this little guy ......"

As he spoke, Zhu Di stood up, and all of a sudden, he seemed to feel a lot better.

There is a feeling of seeing the sun through the clouds.

Suddenly, he said: "Damn, worthy of being my grandson, at a young age, with such knowledge, he is better than his father." ”

Yizha smiled hard and said: "The slave maid also said earlier, this emperor grandson, he was smart and clever when he was a child, and the slave and maid also listened to the people in the East Palace say that when the emperor and grandson were born, the entire East Palace was fragrant." ”

Zhu Di scolded: "Enter your mother, don't use these words to fool me." ”

Yisha hurriedly said: "Yes, the slave and maid are dead." ”

Zhu Di was so excited that he paced back and forth, and said: "The one who prospers my great Ming must be this grandson, and the dog thief is because my grandson has the courage to scold him for being a traitor, because this grandson has insight, haha...... Haha......"

Zhu Di was happy, it seemed that it was nothing if he was fooled.

At his age, the most important thing is that there is a successor.

His eyes regained a little brilliance, and he said excitedly: "I, the imperial grandfather, miss him, hurry up and carry him into the palace, don't ...... No...... I'm going to see him in person, it's windy outside, don't be cold kid, he must miss me very much. ”

Facts have proved that Zhu Di is a man of action, so he walked out step by step, and he didn't want to wait for a moment at this time.

…………

Zhu Zhanji shook his head at this time and watched Zhang Anshi eat popsicles fixedly.

Zhang Anshi happily licked the popsicle and said, "Oops, it's so unpalatable." ”

Zhu Zhanji frowned, but pouted.

Zhang Anshi touched his head: "What's wrong, why are you unhappy again?" ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Last time...... I was scared and anxious, my uncle ran so fast, so I cried loudly, I was really crying, I was very scared. ”

Zhang Anshi patiently comforted: "It's okay, this kind of thing, once born and twice cooked, Uncle was at the beginning, no, it was Uncle's brothers, and they were always frightened at first, but if you look at them now, they are happy." ”

At this time, Zhu Zhanji's eyes widened slightly, in fact, although he was afraid, the scene of that night always appeared in his mind, but it made him feel a trace of ...... Stimulate.

He said: "Uncle also threw the fire fold to them when it blew up, and then Uncle turned around and fled?" ”

Zhang Anshi suddenly felt a little unhappy, and said with a tiger face: "Nonsense, I, Zhang Anshi, stand up to the sky and let you bear it, I want to train you to practice your courage, Zhan Ji, you are too timid, Uncle sees it in his eyes, and he is anxious in his heart!" For you, Uncle is heartbroken. ”

Zhu Zhanji: "......"

Zhang Anshi continued: "Uncle still wants to teach you a truth, a real man, you have to talk about righteousness, do you know Guan Yunchang?" To be a man is to be righteous, you must not betray your uncle, even if you cut off your head, you must not frown. ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said hesitantly: "But...... I've already told my mother. ”

This time it was Zhang Anshi's turn to break the defense: "Oh my God......"

Zhu Zhanji said: "But my mother taught me not to talk to anyone anymore." ”

Zhang Anshi breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Hey, I mistakenly believed you after all, and I still think that you are also a righteous person like your uncle." ”

Zhu Zhanji said with a smile: "But it's not bad now, several masters have been whipped, and they have gone back to recuperate, so I don't have to go to the study to study these days." Uncle, uncle, you say...... What is that person a traitor? ”

Zhang Anshi said seriously: "Those who say that I have morality, I am a very noble person, but they revolve around my brother-in-law, nine times out of ten, they are traitors." For example, the Xie Jin......"

Zhu Zhanji thought thoughtfully: "But my uncle also said that he was ...... about righteousness."

Zhang Anshi suddenly glared at him and scolded: "Am I the same as them?" I'm your uncle! You fool, I am righteous and angry, and I have a good reputation! Okay, from now on, Uncle doesn't want to talk to you anymore. ”

Zhu Zhanji drooped his head and said pitifully: "Uncle, can you not run away next time you do something like this?" When I saw my uncle running faster than a rabbit, I felt very uncomfortable. ”

After hearing this, Zhang Anshi was deeply touched for a while, and touched his head: "Then I'll run slower next time, no matter what, between our uncles and nephews, there is no distinction between each other." ”

Zhu Zhanji thought for a while and said, "Uncle, what do you say...... Can I be an emperor like an emperor in the future? ”

Zhang Anshi frowned: "It's hard to say. ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Why." ”

"Maybe my brother-in-law is lustful and gave birth to a few more brothers for you, and then ......"

Zhu Zhanji frowned and said, "But the emperor will protect me." ”

Zhang Anshi nodded: "But the other children are also the emperor's grandson." ”

Zhu Zhanji hung his head and seemed to be uncomfortable again.

Zhang Anshi said: "But it doesn't matter, I only recognize you as a nephew, and I don't recognize anyone except you." ”

The two sat side by side on the steps, Zhu Zhanji seemed to be a little tired, and his head rested on Zhang Anshi's lap: "If I become an emperor, I will definitely be a good emperor, but how to be a good emperor?" ”

Zhang Anshi said: "This is easy, grab two things." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "What is it?" ”

"The first is the Ministry of Officials, and the second is the Ministry of Households."

"Why?"

Zhang Anshi thought for a while: "The officials are in charge of the black yarn hat, and the household department is in charge of the world's money and grain, these two things are in control, and other things are entrusted to others and don't matter." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "So how can you tell if a person is good or bad? ”

Zhang Anshi thought for a while: "If you want to distinguish between good and bad people, don't look at what he says, but look at what the people under his jurisdiction are like, the parents and officials of a place, no matter how he plays, you can ignore them, but look at whether the people under his rule live and work in peace and contentment, you will know who this person is." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Oh, I understand, I don't look at a person, but look at what the person under this person looks like." But what do you think of what he looks like? ”

Zhang Anshi said: "Seeing is believing. ”

Zhu Zhanji thought about it and seemed to understand.
