Chapter 67: Questioning

Of course, Zhu Yuanzhang did not let Zhu Rong go, and ordered him to repent for three days in the Jiaotai Palace, in front of the Jiaotai Palace is the Qianqing Palace, where Zhu Yuanzhang lives, and behind it is the Kunning Palace, where Queen Ma lives.

Poor Zhu Yu couldn't run out at all.

Queen Ma would come to see him, arrange a meal for him personally, place it in front of him, and then watch him take a big bite into his mouth, looking very satisfied.

"Mother, why do I only have a pound of meat left?"

"Your father has outlawed the previous bounty."

"My father really holds a grudge!"

"Don't say that about him."

"Why didn't the concubine come to see me?"

"You are being punished, she does not dare to come, and she cannot come."

Zhu Yu held the bowl, ate the food in a big gulp, and said vaguely, Queen Ma prepared beef, eggs, vegetables, and some beans for him, and Zhu Rong's mouth was bulging.

"Mother, my prestige must have spread all over the government and the opposition, right?"

"Lang'er, you can't be so reckless next time, Liu Ji told you that it was because he grabbed the handle of Nanxiong Hou that he dared to let you come nonsense, but not everyone you can shoot."

Queen Ma knew Liu Ji and knew that this was arranged by Liu Ji.

"Mother, do you know everything?"

"Liu Ji is not an impulsive person, he is very strategic, he knows your temperament and dares to tell you, he must want Nanxiong Hou to die, Nanxiong Hou is very gangster, when he followed your father, he repeatedly disobeyed military orders, and secretly took those captured women as his slaves, so your father and emperor did not like him very much."

Lan Yu also seems to have this habit, and has taken the wife of the barbarian Khan.

Queen Ma said that Zhu Yuanzhang didn't like Nanxionghou, not that he was a slave, but that he violated the military order, and Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Li Shanchang's advice in his early years and treated the prisoners preferentially.

In this way, if the enemy army feels that it cannot be defeated when fighting, it will voluntarily surrender.

You can win without a fight.

Queen Ma knows this truth very well, but she also knows the origin of Zhao Yong, the Marquis of Nanxiong, a thief, and likes to kidnap people as personal pleasures or slaves.

"Mother, how many more days do I have to be locked up?"

After Zhu Yu finished eating, Queen Ma handed over a glass of water and said, "Marquis Nanxiong is dead, you will stay in the palace for a few days, don't go anywhere." ”

Nanxiong Hou was hit by an arrow wound, and the arrow was pulled out and bleeding nonstop, and such an injury needed to be treated by a doctor.

But Liu Ji found out one of the charges.

The Marquis of Nanxiong owned thousands of acres of fertile land given by the imperial court, hired forced laborers to cultivate, but did not pay these laborers wages, and squeezed them as slaves.

The Marquis of Nanxiong was afraid of being tortured, so he broke off and did not give the imperial court a chance to hire a doctor.

But the government and the opposition are rumored that it was Zhu Yu who shot him, which inexplicably added a wave of notoriety.

Zhu Rong repented in Jiaotai Hall for three days, Zhu Yuanzhang didn't come to see him, but on the fourth day, Zhu Biao was sent to bring a will, let the bad son come out, and Zhu Rong was exempted from punishment.

"Seventh brother, although you shot and killed the Marquis of Nanxiong to establish your prestige, you can't kill like this again in the future."

Zhu Biao looked serious and looked at Zhu Rong helplessly.

"Remember my brother's teachings, brother, thanks to your intercession in front of my father, otherwise, I don't know how long it will take to come out."

Although Zhu Biao didn't say it, Zhu Rong knew that Zhu Biao must have interceded for him, otherwise, it would be impossible to let him come out so quickly.

Zhu Biao still had political affairs to deal with, and told Zhu Rong to stay in the palace for a good life, and then turned around and went to Fengtian Hall with three officials of the East Palace.

"Your Highness, the slave has come to pick you up and wash the dust!"

Liu Jiu walked over with a smile while holding a freshly washed dress, every palace has a full-time eunuch, and the celebrant is in charge of scheduling, he hasn't seen Zhu Rong for several days.

"Has the king's use really decreased?"

"Lost ......"

"Father is really stingy."

Zhu Yu changed into freshly washed civilian clothes and planned to go to Liu Ji, but he didn't want to go to Dabentang, and Li Wenzhong was busy with court affairs.

Only Liu Ji taught him wholeheartedly.

Zhu Yu came to the Yushitai.

A very small duty room, adjacent to the General Administration Department and the Six Departments of the Duty Room, the duty room is separated by two rooms, the outside is the hall of the imperial historians, and the inside is sat by Liu Ji.

Zhu Rong has already been with Zhu Biao once.

"Sir, I'm out."

"Well, it's flawless today."

Liu Ji glanced up at Zhu Rong, lowered his head again, and carefully looked at the dossier presented by the imperial historians.

Liu Ji's next task is to catch Hu Weiyong's case.

Zhu Yu glanced at it, the dossier was about Zheng Yuchun, the Marquis of Yingyang, and there were more than a dozen pages, I don't know if it was Zheng Yuchun's crime.

Liu Ji obviously had no time to pay attention to him today.

Zhu Rong came out of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and saw the end of the palace corridor, Li Jinglong's figure was stagnant, his eyes were shining, and he ran towards him in a hurry, grinning his teeth, looking at Zhu Rong and saying:

"Your Highness is mighty! My dad said he almost couldn't hold you down that day. ”

"Is my strength really that great?"

"What's more, the Great Hondo has spread your reputation, and the sons of the nobles said that in the future, they will inherit the title and command the soldiers and horses, and they will go into battle with you to kill the enemy."

"Heh, a bunch of guys with a decent eye." Zhu Yu said unashamedly.

"Sister said she wanted to see Her Highness."

"Does your sister worship me too?"

"No, there's another thing."

Zhu Yu followed Li Jinglong out of the palace, although Queen Ma warned him that he should not get into trouble these days, but the Li family and the Zhu family are close relatives, and Queen Ma also knows about Li Suning's existence, so going to the Li family is not a trouble, right?

Li Jinglong's carriage stopped next to the dismounted monument at the noon gate.

The two got into the carriage one after another.

The carriage tower walked slowly, and Chang'an Avenue was still as lively as ever, but it didn't leave the palace for three days, and there seemed to be an extra straw man on the street.

Li Jinglong saw that he was puzzled, so he explained:

"The Marquis of Nanxiong was guilty, his fertile land was in Jiangning County, and the county officials concealed his evil deeds, so he was sat down."

Zhu Yu knew his father, but sitting in that position but not doing anything was also harming the people.

The same is to be questioned.

Zhu Yu looked at the dark red straw man, pitiful, he didn't know, maybe those forced laborers who had nowhere to make a noise were even more pitiful.

The carriage was parked in the Cao Guogong Mansion, between the two stone lions, and it was blocking in front of the gate, because in the open space in front of the mansion, two carriages were parked, and there was no doubt that there were other guests in the Guogong Mansion.
