My father asked me to supervise the beheading, naturally because I represented the imperial power...... Zhu Yan thought about it carefully and immediately understood.

"Which one is Gao Qi?"

"Finally, yes, yes, that's the one who looks up at the minister."

The main criminal book points to the last death row inmate, an old Confucian who is constantly spitting.

Zhu Rong didn't want to see the guillotine fall, he looked away and saw a conspicuous blue carriage outside the court.

A grizzled scholar knelt down toward the carriage, his eyes glazed over.

After a long time, a sigh came from the people in the carriage:

"Three days ago, His Majesty said that he would personally supervise the beheading, but it was the King of Qi who came, the King of Qi was playful by nature, you go and beg the King of Qi to see if you can ask for a place for your father to be in the ground."

Brother Ji Di, that's all Liu Bowen can do for you.

Zhu Yu was about to go back to the palace to pay the decree, but at this time, an unkempt scholar broke in, and he didn't want to pay attention to it, but he guessed in his heart that it was Gao Qi's descendant.

"Bring it to the king."

The scholar seemed to have used all his strength, stumbling and kneeling in front of Zhu Yu, his voice trembling a little: "Earnest... I beg His Royal Highness the King of Qi to allow the grass people to bring my father's bones back to Cheung Chau! ”

"Your Highness not!"

Zhu Yu looked at the master of the Criminal Department and wondered, "Isn't this matter over?" ”

The chief secretary of the Criminal Department shouted: "Gao Qi should hang such a rebellious person at the south gate to show the world, to prevent bad words!" ”

The scholar saw that he couldn't be benevolent, and cried: "The king is the minister, the father is the son, the grass people can't bury their father with etiquette, they are ashamed to be the son of man, what is the difference between the dogs, horses and beasts, please hang the grass people and my father on the city wall together..."

Zhu Yu opened the holy decree and looked carefully, the holy decree did not say, it should be an oracle, I should have heard it, it was not that I pity this scholar, but I knew the reason for killing Gao Qi.

The scholar slammed on the ground until blood flowed from his forehead, and said with tears in his eyes: "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is very gracious, Gao Meng will repay him in the future!" ”

At the end of the beheading, Zhu Rong rode on his horse and slowly returned to the palace to pay the order.

How do I report it?

His father was extremely intelligent, good at scheming, good at learning, and most importantly, extremely delicate in his mind, and at this time the prince realized that lies could not deceive the emperor at all.

Especially in terms of killing, Zhu Yuanzhang has always done what he says, even if Queen Ma pleads, it will be useless.

In the past, Zhu Wen was making great achievements in the Hongdu War, and later because he was dissatisfied with the reward for meritorious deeds, his brain was hot and wanted to rebel, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to kill him after he knew it, and Queen Ma begged bitterly.

In the end, Zhu Yuanzhang still hid from Queen Ma and executed Zhu Wenzheng.

After entering the noon gate, Zhu Yu came to the imperial steps of the Fengtian Temple.

The old eunuch seemed to have waited for a long time, pointed to the steps under his feet, and with a sense of relief on his face that he had finally completed the task, he said respectfully:

"Your Majesty's dictation, let His Royal Highness the King of Qi kneel on the jade steps."

Zhu Yuanzhang is truly strict with his heirs.

The old eunuch saw that Zhu Yu had complied with the will, so he walked in and reported it.

Not long after, a blue-clothed figure ran towards Zhu Rong, and Liu Jiu whispered: "Your Highness, the slave maid has gone to inform Concubine Da Niangniang." ”

This slave is good, and knows how to intercede for him.

Dashi is Zhu Yu's biological mother and was named Concubine Da, among the harem concubines, Zhu Yuanzhang doted on her very much.

Only beautiful women are difficult to enter Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, but this concubine is not only as beautiful as a heavenly fragrance, but also highly talented, and never expresses her opinion on the political affairs of the imperial court.

Zhu Zhen asked, "What about Her Royal Highness the Queen Mother?" ”

"The queen mother sent someone, but her majesty drank back."

Liu Jiu said, bowed his head next to Zhu Yu and knelt down, and the prince and the slave were punished together.

It didn't take long for Liu Jiu to touch his cuffs and hand over a baked cake.

"Your Highness, are you hungry?"

Zhu Yu shook his head and said, "Go to the side hall and get a futon, don't alarm the surrounding eunuchs." ”

Liu Jiu shrunk his neck and peeked at the Fengtian Palace, moved his body to the side, and said tremblingly: "Your Highness, Your Majesty is still inside, I don't dare." ”

Zhu Yan didn't expect Liu Jiu to be so useless.

The reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was strict with the prince was, in the final analysis, the Yuan Dynasty.

The Yuan Dynasty did not have a crown prince, and for many years it was fratricidal, which led to the decline of national strength, and Zhu Yuanzhang believed that this was one of the reasons for the fall of the Yuan Dynasty.

Therefore, the prince is required to follow the etiquette of the imperial court.

Zhu Rong's brother Zhu Zhang, Zhu Li, Zhu Di and others, although they also acted arbitrarily, when it came to the imperial decree, they would strictly follow it.

Zhu Yu was still kneeling outside the hall.

Suddenly it began to rain in the sky, and it became heavier and heavier, and in an instant the raindrops were like countless whips hitting the ground.

Zhu Yan's robe was wet, and the rain ran down his crown and hair, and dripped down his cheeks and chin.

At this time, a yellow umbrella appeared above Zhu Rong's head.

Zhu Yu looked up, "It's better for my brother to treat me!" ”

Zhu Biao held the umbrella in his left hand, and his right hand quickly stretched out the yellow handkerchief in his arms, he stood close to his feet in the direction where the rain was blowing, and the yellow robe was quickly wet, "Seventh brother, what did you do when you left the palace?" I pleaded for you just now, but before I could open my mouth, my father kicked me out. ”

In the Hongwu Dynasty, there was no more benevolent and kind person than the crown prince Zhu Biao.

Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, and Zhu Li, the king of Jin, made mistakes repeatedly, Zhu Yuanzhang was so angry that he wanted to depose them, and Zhu Biao pleaded to avoid punishment.

"I'm just letting Gao Qi go back to my hometown, where is it clear?"

"Alas, my father hates corrupt officials the most, and even more, there are people who disobey his will."

"My brother knows to reprimand me, if the person who beheaded me is the elder brother, won't the elder brother disobey his father's will?"

Zhu Biao looked embarrassed, but he didn't refute it.

Memory itself carries feelings, so calling him brother is not a difficult thing for Zhu Rong.

In the Fengtian Palace, Zhu Yuanzhang sat in front of the imperial case with a notebook in his hand, his posture was upright, his eyes were deep and sharp, and he looked at the master of the criminal department standing in the hall.

Zhu Yuanzhang has been a beggar, a monk, and has seen millions of dead people in countless battles, and his heart has long been as firm as a rock, he has never shown mercy to officials and landlords, his methods are harsh, and his face is full of mercy.

Although he always put the words "I Huai Xibuyi, born in a slightly cold background" on his lips, he said it himself, it was humble, and others said it behind his back, which was contempt and insult!

"Zhu Rong let Gao Qi go?"

"Yes......"

The voice of the chief of the criminal department trembled, and if it weren't for the etiquette, he would have raised his hand to wipe his forehead.

At this time, Mao Xiangyu on the side reported: "Your Majesty, Lord Liu's carriage went to the West Market, and Gao Meng passed through him before pleading with King Qi. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and paced a few steps, "Liu Bowen knows our thoughts, and he still disobeys us." ”

Hearing the crackling rain on the golden roof of the main hall, Zhu Yuanzhang retracted his sluggish look: "It's raining, let them in." ”
