Chapter 52: The Guardian of the Vassal King

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was also on the spot."

Zhu Yuanzhang understands this son, even if he treats heinous prisoners, he can't bear to use cruel methods to let them die, and he will definitely find ways to stop that bad son.

And the man was shot.

Zhu Yuanzhang grimaced and asked, "Didn't the prince go to the Imperial History Terrace to select the hall officials?" ”

Mao Xiang lowered his head, 1510 report.

Zhu Yuanzhang's expression kept changing, and when he walked back to Fengtian Palace, Zhu Biao was already standing in Fengtian Palace, understanding that the matter had been revealed, and said to Zhu Yuanzhang sincerely:

"Father, forgive the seventh brother! Although he shot the meritorious sons, but those unscrupulous people took advantage of the favor of their fathers to block the roads and harm the people, and the sons could not tolerate such bad deeds, so they connived at the younger brother to shoot them. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang stared at him, teaching Zhu Biao how to be a good emperor all the time, there is nothing more important than opening peace for all generations.

It is easy to teach the experience of "reward", but it is difficult to teach the experience of "punishment".

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Zhu Yuanzhang understands that it is more difficult to let Zhu Biao punish officials ruthlessly than it is to let the second Zhu Fan concentrate on studying, and this is a good opportunity.

Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly: "If your brother is not there, will you kill him?" ”

Zhu Biao was stunned, obviously struggling with this issue.

"Your brother is much more courageous than you, he resolutely shot Xungui's children in order to let Liu Ji return to the court! You don't even dare say anything to kill them! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Zhu Biao lowered his head: "Erchen knows his mistake." ”

"If you harass the people and use the power of your fathers to corrupt the discipline, of course you will be killed! If we were there, we would not only shoot them on the spot, but also ask the officials of the upper and lower levels under the jurisdiction of the crime, and all of them would be killed! ”

Zhu Yuanzhang had a straight face, shouting and reprimanding Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao's face was full of guilt, he was originally interceding for Zhu Rong, but he was severely reprimanded by Zhu Yuanzhang, and Zhu Yuanzhang walked in front of him.

"Zhu Biao! You tell us clearly, Xia, Shang, Zhou, Han, Tang and Song, these dynasties can last for hundreds of years, because they accumulate virtue and win the hearts of the people, and the monarch is generous and benevolent to the people. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang has not forgotten why he rebelled in the first place.

"But Hu Xiang ......"

Zhu Biao didn't know what to do, after all, Hu Weiyong was the prime minister, even if they were to be executed, they should be handed over to Yushitai.

Li Shanchang smiled bitterly, feeling sad for the in-laws, giving birth to such a son who caused the disaster of annihilation, and he committed the crime that Zhu Yuanzhang hated the most.

Using the power of his fathers and blocking the streets, how many officials can hide it?

Zhu Biao is still young, but he heard the real reason why Zhu Yuanzhang was angry, and deceived his superiors and subordinates!

O deceitful!

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could answer, there was a hurried footstep outside the hall, and this loud cry was from Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng and Pingliang Hou Fei Ju.

When they heard the news of the funeral, they wept and grabbed the ground.

"The upper general wants to be the master of the last general, the last general followed the superior to conquer Chen Youliang and Zhang Shicheng, and pacified Yunnan, quelled the barbarian rebellion, and fulfilled his duties for the imperial court, but when he returned home, he heard that his son-in-law was shot in the street, and there was no royal law......"

It was Lu Zhongheng, Hou of Ji'an, who spoke.

There are two other people, Guo Ying, the commander of Henan, and Wu Fu, the commander of An Luwei, both of whom are fighting on the march.

These Huaixi nobles are poor in literacy.

Although the imperial court found them a great Confucian and taught them to read and write, they were all avoided by them for various reasons, preferring to be a rough man.

Naturally, there was not much planning in his abdomen, so he ran into the palace in anger.

Zhu Yuanzhang suspected that their brains were filled with pig intestines, so he didn't bother to pay attention to them, and listened to them cry without saying a word.

He's waiting for someone to come, Hu Weiyong!

But to his surprise, Hu Weiyong didn't appear, and he didn't even give him a chance to vent his anger, this is the advisor we fancy to him.

"Superior, you have to make decisions for us!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a cold face: "Do you want us to kill our own son and make amends to you?" ”

Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongheng and Pingliang Hou Fei gathered, and suddenly fell silent.

Kunning Palace.

Zhu Rong came to see Queen Ma, Liu Jiu had already reported it, Queen Ma looked at him with her eyes, and Zhu Rong did not hide it:

"Queen Mother, you didn't see it, the people of Taiping Street are complaining about the court in their hearts, but this is my brother's business, I just want Liu Ji to return to the court as an official, and I have asked my father several times, but my father would rather let Mr. Big Nose return to Beijing......"

"How do you know that Hu Weiyong is obstructing?"

Zhu Yu didn't say a word.

I don't know how Liu Jiu added fuel and vinegar, Queen Ma doesn't like to kill, but she doesn't blame, probably because it is difficult for her to feel pity this time.

Queen Ma had a cold face and said: "At the feet of the Son of Heaven, using the power of your father's generation to serve officials without permission, this is to cause disaster for their parents, you have done a good job, if your father finds out, I don't know how many innocent officials will be implicated." ”

After speaking, she looked at the female official on the side: "Go and inquire, has Hu Xiang entered the palace?" ”

The female officer soon came back to report: "Hu Xiang said that he would prepare for the funeral for Hu Gongzi and take a leave of absence for ten days." ”

Queen Ma said: "Hu Weiyong made a wise decision. ”

"The queen thinks he's smart, too?"

"He is experiencing the pain of losing a child, and his words will inevitably lose his mind, and your father will definitely find someone to vent his anger, if the two meet, it will be incompatible."

"And Hu Weiyong neither holds the court accountable, nor does he ask about the government."

This made Zhu Rong very passive, colluding with friends to deceive the superiors and subordinates, and the court did not deal with Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Yan couldn't help but say: "Father can really bear it." “

No normal father can sit idly by and watch his son die.

It's unusual, just because it's so ordinary.

Even if Hu Weiyong finds someone to assassinate me, I won't be surprised, this guy is too good at hiding his emotions...... Zhu Yu secretly praised Hu Weiyong's talent.

In the history of the Ming Dynasty, Hu Weiyong's records are few, but it does not affect his fame.

When Hu Weiyong was not yet the prime minister, he sent the then Zhongshu Province Zuo Cheng back to the west (the left and right officials of the Ming Dynasty, the left and right were respected, and the right was usually a decoration, unless there was a right and no left).

Yang Xian was the person who defected to Zhu Yuanzhang in the early days, and the official position was inspected, and he was described as a spy in later words, and his job content was to convey Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts to Chen Youliang, Zhang Shicheng and others.

When Li Shanchang was good at Zhongshu Province, Zhu Yuanzhang regarded himself as a close confidant and Yang Xian, who was born in the school, and promoted him to the left minister of Zhongshu Province to check and balance Li Shanchang.

Li Shanchang exposed Yang Xian's crimes, and finally ordered Zhu Yuanzhang to execute the people he trusted, these charges were actually secretly collected by Hu Weiyong.

Zhu Yu is not afraid of death, but he wants to take this opportunity to ask Zhu Yuanzhang for a vassal king's guard.
