Chapter 31: Questioning
Liu Sanwu has gone through the Yuan and Ming dynasties and has seen too many things, so his tricks are naturally not as inferior as Hong Yushi, but he really underestimated Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao's protection of Zhu Yang.
Seeing that the stabbing had not succeeded, he resolutely returned to the queue.
Of course, this is not retreating, but waiting for someone to hand him a knife.
And the person who handed him the knife was Shen Wei, the secretary of the military department.
"Your Majesty, the minister has something to do, last night the Ministry of War received an emergency military situation, the Japanese invaders logged in Fujian again, killed 13 of my Ming people, robbed 1,000 taels of silver, and then drove away by thousands of local households, this group of Japanese invaders finally fled!" Shen Wei, the secretary of the military department, walked out of the queue, knelt on the ground and said.
Speaking of which, Zhu Yang deserves to be unlucky, originally the plan of Liu Sanwu and others was to provoke a dispute over the sea ban in the court, and then take the opportunity to provoke Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang has a violent personality, and he may kill in anger, so that he can not only kill Zhu Yang, but also eliminate all the people in the DPRK who still have illusions about the ban on opening the sea.
However, just when they were discussing the details, Shen Wei received an urgent letter from Fujian, because the battle had ended and the Japanese had been driven away, so Shen Wei did not choose to enter the palace to tell Zhu Yuanzhang at the first time, but chose to say it in the early dynasty.
And this incident was also taken advantage of by Liu Sanwu and others.
"Your Majesty, the sea has been banned for several years, but there are still people along the coast of Fujian who go to sea without permission, and even smuggle our Ming goods overseas, which eventually led to the landing of the Japanese and the slaughter of innocent people, and please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order to punish the crime of the Fujian political envoy!" Shen Wei said.
"In addition, Weichen suggests that Your Majesty will severely punish those who write the 'open sea ban' in the future, only in this way can the Japanese invaders be eradicated and the people can live and work in peace and contentment!" Shen Wei said.
After Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, in the third year of Hongwu (1370), he "dismissed Taicang Huangdu City"; In the seventh year of Hongwu (1374), he ordered the abolition of the three cities of Quanzhou in Fujian, Mingzhou in Zhejiang, and Guangzhou in Guangdong, which had existed since the Tang Dynasty and were responsible for overseas trade; In the fourteenth year of Hongwu (1381), Zhu Yuanzhang "did not collect his footprints with the Japanese and ordered that the people on the coast were forbidden to communicate with overseas countries", and since then, even Southeast Asian countries that were good with the Ming Dynasty could not come to China for trade and cultural exchanges. In the twenty-third year of Hongwu (1390), Zhu Yuanzhang once again issued the "Ban on Foreign Domain Traffic Order".
Later, Zhu Yuanzhang even said the words "not allowed to go to the sea".
And these practices and Zhu Yuanzhang's words later became the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty's civil officials who opposed the ban on opening the sea.
Now that Zhu Yuanzhang is not dead, the ministers naturally can't use the ancestral system, but "the king has no jokes", since Zhu Yuanzhang has emphasized the sea ban before, it is naturally wrong to say that the sea ban is opened, and those who open the sea ban in the book will naturally be punished.
Zhu Yuanzhang squinted at Shen Wei, he understood Shen Wei's intentions, and even the other civil and military officials who were standing also understood.
If Zhu Yuanzhang agrees, then Zhu Yang writes this test paper is a thunder that is enough to blow Zhu Yang himself up.
But if Zhu Yuanzhang does not agree, it will be "the king has jokes", and the royal authority that Zhu Yuanzhang values most will be weakened.
Zhu Biao looked at Zhu Yuanzhang from the side, a little anxious in his heart, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would agree to Shen Wei's suggestion.
"Your Majesty, Weichen felt that Shen Shangshu's suggestion was very reasonable, and His Majesty repeatedly emphasized the ban on the sea, but Zhu Yang, a student from Fujian, still vainly talked about how good it was to open the sea ban in his questioning, which shows that Fujian did not take His Majesty in his eyes at all, and he was even more deaf to His Majesty's policy. In the long run, the people of Fujian will inevitably get out of the control of the Ming Dynasty, so Weichen suggested that all officials in Fujian should be arrested and questioned, regardless of size, and qualified officials should be reassigned to manage the Fujian Chengxuan Political Division! Another imperial historian walked out and said to Zhu Yuanzhang.
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
"The minister seconded the proposal!"
……
In an instant, nearly dozens of people knelt on the ground in the square, shouting and seconding the proposal.
"The crowd is raging, it seems that you will definitely die this time!" Liu Sanwu stood in the team and looked at the many officials kneeling on the ground, his mood suddenly became relaxed, he knew that Zhu Yang would die this time, even if Zhu Biao wanted to protect it, he couldn't save it.
……
"Sneeze ......"
At the gate of the palace, Zhu Yang sneezed one sneeze after another.
"Got a cold?" Zhu Yang touched the sweater he was wearing very thickly, "Hey, I didn't feel cold, could it be that someone misses me?" ”
"However, it's really hard to wait, and I don't know what the emperor is doing? It's annoying that you haven't summoned me for so long! Zhu Yang stomped his feet, and rubbed his somewhat numb feet with his hands, if it weren't for Zhu Yuanzhang being the emperor, Zhu Yang would have no way to do anything about him, otherwise Zhu Yang really wanted to spray him to death with a mouthful of salt soda.
……
Just when Zhu Yang's resentment towards Zhu Yuanzhang deepened, there was a dead silence on the Fengtian Temple Square.
Zhu Yuanzhang did not express his position, the standing officials were waiting, and the kneeling officials were also waiting.
At this moment, a eunuch came over and said a few words to Zhu Yuanzhang.
Zhu Yuanzhang was completely happy when he heard it.
"Have you remembered the names of the kneeling men?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
"It's all written down!" The eunuch whispered.
"Hmm!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded slightly.
Crowd turmoil? Will Zhu Yuanzhang be afraid of this?
Some people are calculating Zhu Yang, some people are calculating the Kaihai faction, and Zhu Yuanzhang is actually calculating......
"It seems that everyone thinks that the words of the military department are very right, and it just so happens that we also called Zhu Yang today, so Zhu Qing will discuss his charges in front of Zhu Yang!" Zhu Yuanzhang said loudly.
"This ......" The ministers were stunned, could it be that Your Majesty had expected it?
But Liu Sanwu and the others smiled weirdly, it seems that yesterday's dispute His Majesty was towards himself?
Zhao Mian and Shen Wei were even more excited.
Your Majesty is here to give the crown prince a warning, they have done nothing wrong!
Although killing Zhu Yang offended the prince, so far the prince is only the prince, and if the emperor does not die, the position of the prince may not be immutable.
Zhao Mian and Shen Wei decided to contact the north after today, and said that they promised to cooperate with them.
……
"The grass people meet Your Majesty!" Zhu Yang followed the eunuch all the way to the steps of Fengtian Temple Square, knelt on the ground and worshipped.
Zhu Yuanzhang stood on the steps and looked at Zhu Yang who was bowing his head and said, "Raise your head!" ”
Zhu Yang raised his head as he said, and then a familiar face came into view.
", old man Huang!" Zhu Yang was shocked.
Then he turned his head and happened to see "Huang Da" standing beside him standing at the front of the civil service, looking at him with a smile on his face.
"You laugh!" Zhu Yang scolded angrily in his heart: Is it fun to lie to me?
"Zhu Yang, calling you over today is to let the ministers discuss your crimes!" Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly, and in Zhu Yang's opinion, there was no joy of reunion.
"Crime?" Zhu Yang was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Zhu Biao, who continued to smile at himself, and continued to scold in his heart: Damn, didn't the history books say that Zhu Biao was benevolent? It turns out that it's a special complaint.,Isn't it just to scold you a few words.,As for the court discussion? This group of courtiers is really idle and has nothing to do, this little thing is still mixed, isn't it good to go home and sleep early?
"The grass people are wronged!" Zhu Yang doesn't care about 3721 shouting injustice first, as for whether it is effective or not, he shouts it first.
"Yo, now you know that you have been wronged?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Yang with a playful expression, "Come, prince, you first tell him what the ministers said, and make sure to let him be an understanding person!" ”
"Yes, Father!" Zhu Biao made a move. Then he came to Zhu Yang, squatted on the ground, and told Zhu Yang everything everyone in the court said, without any concealment, and by the way, he also pointed out Liu Sanwu, Zhao Mian, Shen Wei and others to Zhu Yang.
