"It's... It was Hu Xiang who met with the envoy, and the minister didn't know what happened later! ”

Hu Weiyong said: "The minister has already instructed the Ministry of Rites to do so. ”

Shen Liben, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites: "According to the Zhongshu Province, the Ministry of Rites has never received any of the documents and recitals of the envoys of the city, and the General Administration Department and the Metropolitan Procuratorate can corroborate them. ”

Zhu Yuanzhang's hands gradually tightened, and he was about to go crazy.

Shirking responsibility may be exempt in later generations or other dynasties, but it doesn't work here in Zhu Yuanzhang.

When Zhu Yuanzhang was a common man, corrupt officials turned a blind eye to the people's suffering, and his parents and eldest brother died as a result, and he hated the corrupt officials who shirked their responsibilities.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood up abruptly and glared at the group of officials who were passing the buck to each other.

Hu Weiyong immediately knelt down, clasped his head and said: "Your Majesty, you let Li Xiang and Cao Guogong enter Zhongshu Province, the minister really doesn't know, what should the minister deal with." ”

"I wanted Wang Guangyang to inform the Ministry of Rites, but Wang Guangyang set up a banquet for his new concubine and forgot about it."

Zhu Yuanzhang pursed his lips.

Both Hu Weiyong and Wang Guangyang should be put to death, he wants to establish a pure dynasty, where all officials are honest and diligent, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, even if all means are exhausted.

He said coldly: "The people's fat and people's anointing, do not raise mediocre people, put Wang Guangyang in prison and put to death!" ”

Wang Guangyang was so frightened that he immediately knelt down and begged for mercy, the officials were silent, no one interceded for him, this kind of thing sitting in the court did not need to be interrogated, and he could be beheaded the next day.

The beheadings of the people were usually in the western market, because there were many people there.

Officials are usually executed in Wumen Square, and if they are flogged, they can also be in front of the Fengtian Temple, so that the officials can see it, and the audience of the warning is different.

Wang Guangyang was dragged up like a dead dog and began to beg for mercy, but when he saw the inspection of the school, he began to curse Zhu Yuanzhang again.

A diagonal knife pointed at the sky and swung down.

A head rolled down.

This is the Hongwu Dynasty!

The second prime minister who fell.

Zhu Yuanzhang sat in the Fengtian Palace, the civil and military ministers stood on both sides, Mao Xiang came in with a head, and the face of the envoy of Zhancheng changed in shock, a prime minister!

"On behalf of the king of Zhancheng State, I greet His Majesty Daming!"

"The country of Zhancheng is willing to pay tribute to the Celestial Empire from generation to generation, and the tribute brought by the minister this time includes 20 carts of Zhancheng rice, 15 treasures, and 100 silk horses."

"There is also a watch nine feet long and five inches wide, made of gold, praising His Majesty the Ming Dynasty, caressing the four seas, such as heaven and earth, the sun and the moon shine!"

Zhu Yuanzhang had a faint smile on his face.

Let the Champa state pay tribute, not because of these tributes, but because of the establishment of a hierarchical and orderly world dominated by the Ming and Han people.

"Spread our will, and reward the king of the city, Ataa, the great ruler calendar, one thousand taels of silver, two hundred pieces of silk, and one hundred pieces of porcelain."

However, what he didn't know was.

This unintentional move promoted the economic development of the early Ming Dynasty.

The Fan Dynasty paid tribute to the Ming Dynasty and brought a large number of merchants, who brought the special products of the state to the Ming Dynasty, and poured the porcelain and silk of the Ming Dynasty back to the state for trading, laying a solid foundation for the prosperity of Yongle.

Zhu Yu was not happy.

His father did not execute Hu Weiyong, he was still forbearing, and when the court meeting where the envoys had met dispersed, Zhu Rong saw Zhu Biao coming out of the Fengtian Palace.

Zhu Biao looked at this younger brother and said softly with relief:

"Seventh brother, people's fortunes and misfortunes are difficult to predict, it may not be your fault, Liu Gong will not blame you, tomorrow the court will rest, tonight the queen mother will have a banquet in the palace, and the second brother is back."

Officials have only three public holidays a year.

One is Zhu Yuanzhang's birthday, one is the winter solstice, and one is the New Year.

The rest of the time, the officials were working.

Zhu Fan returned from his expedition to Turpan.

"I'm not going."

"My father will come tonight, he usually deals with the government affairs, and he is not willing to do it."

It is said to be a dinner, but in fact it is a dinner, and the sky is still bright.

Queen Ma set up a banquet in the Jiaotai Palace, and ordered the officials to prepare in the afternoon, and when Zhu Yuanzhang dispersed the dynasty, the banquet could basically be held.

The accompanying harem, only Concubine Hu Chong and Concubine Dading.

Most of the people present were the princes of the vassal kings, Zhu Biao sat under Zhu Yuanzhang's position, next to Zhu Zhang, the king of Qin, Zhu Di, and Zhu Rong.

Before the banquet began, little Zhu Zi came to his brother and looked at Zhu Yu with big black eyes.

wanted to pounce into Zhu Rong's arms.

Zhu Yu pressed his smooth head with his hand and pushed the little fool away: "Go find the fourth brother." ”

Xiao Zhu Zi put Zhu Rong's hand on his head, looked at it with big eyes, and said in a childish voice: "Seventh brother, I heard from the eldest brother of the prince, you are very unhappy today?" ”

"Nope."

"Seventh brother, let me sing you a song, it was my mother who taught me today...... At the beginning of man, his nature is good..."

Zhu Zhen, who was sitting in the opposite row, beckoned to Xiao Zhu Zi, dangling in the air with goose legs, signaling not to disturb Zhu Zhen.

"Come to the sixth brother."

Xiao Zhu Zi was greedy, and ran over with a fart.

Zhu Fan said about the beauty of Turpan.

Zhu Di sat and drank, very calm, and rarely spoke, and his princess Xu also came.

Zhu Yuanzhang attaches great importance to blood, and remembers that his father, brother, sister-in-law and younger brother also sat together like this, crowded into a dilapidated thatched hut to eat, and Zhu Shouqian went to the domain, otherwise, Zhu Yuanzhang would ask him to come together.

The feast has not yet begun.

There were three empty seats, Zhu Rong looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, not knowing who his father was waiting for.

Outside the hall, the old eunuch bowed down and brought in three people.

Li Shanchang didn't dare to arrive earlier than Zhu Yuanzhang, nor did he dare to make Zhu Yuanzhang wait for a long time, and in terms of etiquette, no one could find fault with Li Shanchang.

Followed by Princess Lin'an.

and Li Wenzhong.

"Lin'an is becoming more and more like your mother, good man, how about we set up this banquet today than your family banquet in Haozhou?"

"The minister is ashamed, in Haozhou, there are often big fish and meat, and the thousands of acres of fertile land given by His Majesty to the minister can harvest thousands of stones of grain every year, and the minister is grateful for His Majesty's kindness!"

Li Shanchang said with a smile.

Zhu Yuanzhang likes to be thrifty, and he also likes to hear others say that he is thrifty, and he immediately laughed.

Queen Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang and said softly: "Today, it is better for Shanchang and Wen Zhong to come, otherwise, the princes will not be able to eat so much meat." ”

"Lin'an, you come to my mother's place."

Princess Lin'an walked up to Queen Ma and sat down, and Queen Ma took her daughter's hand and sandwiched some beef for her.

Li Wenzhong sat under Zhu Yu.

Raise your glass.

I don't like to talk much.

Zhu Yuanzhang had long noticed that Zhu Yu was sitting on the chair, neither moving his chopsticks, nor walking around at the banquet like in the past, snatching the meat of his younger brothers to eat.

"Lang'er, you and the second child were the happiest when we held a banquet in the past, but today you don't even take chopsticks?"
