Chapter 368: Eat a trench and grow a wisdom!
Lao Zhu really didn't intend to punish him severely.
After all, it was his own son, and he was distressed when he broke it, how could he be severely punished.
The other ministers also knew that it was already commendable to have His Majesty the Emperor issue an edict to punish the two bastards King Liao and King Ning.
As for punishing the imperial grandson for this trivial matter, don't even think about it.
Fortunately, they didn't go to the imperial grandson, but they just wanted to hit the imperial grandson's "wings".
If they can beat King Liao and King Ning so that they can't get out of bed for a few days, they can take the opportunity to restrain the imperial grandson and calmly "sell" the weapons and armor stored in the warehouse.
The so-called "selling" is, of course, not a normal sale. However, the border armies and vassal kings in various places did not pay filial piety to the military department, and they naturally could not get good weapons and armor.
This filial piety is the welfare of all colleagues in the military department.
In fact, these filial piety are only the tip of the iceberg, and there are huge interests involved here.
In order to give everyone an explanation, Lao Zhu ordered someone to tie up the two rebels on the spot.
It's just that to his surprise, Zhu Yunxi, the rebel grandson, came uninvited.
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan walked into the hall proudly like two little heroes.
It's just that when facing the majestic gaze of their father, the two of them instantly coaxed, and hurriedly kowtowed in a proper manner.
Zhu Yunxi led a few brocade guards, followed closely behind the two, and after saluting the old Zhu, Zhu Yunxi said loudly.
"Grandpa Qiqi, grandson wants to impeach the military department!"
"Huh?"
As soon as Zhu Yunxi said this, the entire hall suddenly whispered.
Many officials looked at Zhu Yunxi, and their eyes were red. Xindao Where did this grandson come from to say such a thing, they haven't collectively written to impeach him, he still has the face to impeach others?
Lao Zhu also glanced at the eldest grandson quite unexpectedly, and he didn't know what new tricks the eldest grandson was doing.
"The Military Selection Division of the Ministry of War set up a card without authorization to block the farm tools that should have been sent to Shangyuan County, delaying the normal production and life of the people!"
Hearing this, Lao Zhu looked at Ru Yu, the secretary of the military department, unhappily, and Ru Yu looked calm.
"Your Majesty, this matter is the responsibility of Shi Laigong, the martial arts division, and Weichen is not very clear."
"But since the crown prince dares to impeach the emperor, there is naturally conclusive evidence!"
Zhu Yunxi snorted coldly when he heard this.
"That's nature!"
"Grandpa Huang, if you don't believe it, go to the treasury of the military department with your grandson now, you can naturally see how the military department bullied your grandson and seized normal farm tools!"
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan also hurriedly echoed when they heard this.
"Father, the son just saw that the military department was bullying people too much, so he was angry for his eldest nephew!"
"Didn't you always teach your sons, saying that our Zhu family should be friendly and help each other?"
"Erchen just couldn't see others bullying his eldest nephew, so he stepped forward and took action!"
Lao Zhu was quite relieved to hear this, after all, his greatest wish was that the descendants of the Zhu family lived in harmony.
, It's just that when I think of Zhu Zhi, this bastard, I feel tired in my heart, and secretly think that this should not be the anti-Sun Sect, right?
"Shut up!"
"Do you still have the face to say?"
After Lao Zhu scolded Zhu Wei, he immediately put on a smiling face and looked at Zhu Yunxi.
"Eldest grandson, let's give you a chance one last time, do you really want us to go to the military department to check it out now?" ….
When Zhu Yunxi saw the emperor's grandfather's expression, he suddenly had an ominous premonition in his heart.
It's just that he thought about it for a long time, and he couldn't figure out what he was doing wrong.
This time, he deliberately set up the army to work together, and only then did he temporarily transfer dozens of truckloads of farm tools.
In fact, these farm tools were not ordered by anyone at all, but he transferred them to the warehouse in Shangyuan County in advance in order to complete the supply and marketing cooperative's supply system.
Zhu Yunxi thought for a while, and saw that there were no loopholes on his side, but the military department was obviously holding chicken feathers as arrows, and the evidence of making things difficult for him was very obvious, so he looked at it with confidence
Lao Zhu.
"Grandpa Huang, grandson hopes that you can administer justice for me!"
Lao Zhu Wenyan had a sneer on his face, and secretly said in his heart that his eldest grandson was still too young.
"Okay!"
"Since you insist that we go and see it, then we'll go with you."
"It's just that we have a word first, and if we find out evidence against you, we will never spare it!"
"No!"
After Lao Zhu heard the eldest grandson's affirmative reply, he immediately took several ministers to the military department to check.
Ru Yu had already made arrangements and ordered someone to wait at the door of the treasury of the military department in advance. Seeing that His Majesty the Emperor and others were present, only a few people worked together to open the treasury.
Lao Zhu was not in a hurry to enter the door when he arrived at the door of the warehouse, but just waved his hand at Zhu Yunxi.
"You go in and see!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard this, he immediately led the guards, followed a few ministers into the treasury of the military department, and confidently lifted the tarpaulin on the carriage.
However, when the tarpaulin was opened, revealing the contents of the carriage, Zhu Yunxi was dumbfounded.
I saw that the carriage that was supposed to be placed with agricultural tools was replaced with weapons and armor at some point!
Zhu Yunxi's face was full of disbelief, and he muttered to himself.
"Impossible!"
"Lone's workshop hasn't produced weapons for a long time, where did the weapons come from in this car?"
When several ministers saw the weapons and armor on the car, their faces sank, even Fu Youde, a hardcore imperial grandson, looked gloomy when they saw the evidence.
The imperial grandson is a bit too much this time, how can he sell weapons and armor privately?
As the head of the civil officials, Kong Ne couldn't help but show anger on his face when he saw the cart full of weapons and armor.
"Imperial grandson, this is the farming tool you are talking about?"
When others heard this, they also jumped out to accuse.
"Imperial grandson, you are the heir of the Ming Dynasty, and the entire Ming Dynasty is yours, how can you guard yourself and do such a horrific thing!"
"Don't you know that weapons and armor are the cause of the world's troubles?"
"Once the weapons and armor fall into the hands of the gangsters, they can raise a large army at any time and become a rebel for the imperial court!"
Lao Zhu saw that the number of people was almost down, so he walked into the warehouse slowly, took a weapon from the carriage, and waved it in his hand a few times.
"Eldest grandson, let's see if this weapon comes from a water conservancy workshop!"
Zhu Yunxi nodded stubbornly.
"Yes!"
"It did come from a water conservancy workshop run by my grandson......
Old Zhu sneered when he heard this.
"What else do you have to say now?"
"I ......"
Zhu Yunxi wanted to defend himself a few words, but when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. ….
This is obviously someone playing with him, if he is stupid and shouting injustice, wouldn't it be even more ridiculous?
"The grandson is guilty, please punish the emperor's grandfather!"
Zhu Yunxi simply pleaded guilty, but Zhu Value and Zhu Quan quit and shouted injustice.
"Father, this is impossible, the eldest nephew will never do such a thing, someone must be framing him!"
Lao Zhu was quite satisfied with the eldest grandson's reaction, but after listening to the words of the two rebels, he was unhappy in his heart.
"You two said that you were planting the blame, so is there any evidence?"
"Evidence ......"
It's okay for Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan brothers to catch toads, where do they know what evidence there is.
Fortunately, there is also a Fu Youde on the side, this old man is from the army and knows some of the operating rules of the military department.
"Your Majesty, just check the treasury account books of the Ministry of War, and you will know where these weapons and armor come from!"
"If it is really the emperor's grandson smuggling, then there must be no record of these things in the account books of the military department!"
Lao Zhu nodded when he heard this.
"Someone!"
"Bring us the account books of the military department, and check them here one by one!
」
Ru Yu received the order and made a promise, and immediately ordered someone to move the storage account books of last year and this year of the military department.
"Your Majesty, please check!"
Lao Zhu looked at the thick stack of ledgers and thought for a while.
"Eldest grandson, isn't there someone in your Wenhua Palace, you let them come and check!"
Zhu Yunxi's heart was also full of doubts, and he didn't know how his farm tools had become weapons and armor.
In order to cope with Lao Zhu's warning, he didn't even produce swords, but only produced a bunch of knife blanks.
In other words, he didn't have any weapons in his own workshop, so where did the weapons come from?
Now when he heard that Lao Zhu asked him to check by himself, he was not polite, and immediately ordered someone to go to Wenhua Hall to call a group of people over.
The officials of the Wenhua Hall can't do anything else, but the ability to check the accounts can be said to be the first class in the Ming Dynasty.
Zhang Zongjun is especially good at this, and has also created some tips for quick account checking. And by virtue of this means of hand auditing, he became the director of the Verification Department under the Ministry of Finance.
However, Zhang Zongjun led a team of people from the inspection department to complete the investigation in less than half an hour.
"Back to Your Highness, there is no problem with the accounts of the Ministry of War, and the existing weapons and armor in the treasury are consistent with the accounts."
"These weapons on the carriage are completely out of thin air!"
Zhang Zongjun bit an accent on the word "out of thin air", and the meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Although he couldn't find out where these things came from, he would never admit that they belonged to the emperor's grandson.
When Lao Zhu heard this, he looked at Zhu Yunxi with a smile.
"Eldest grandson, what else do you have to say this time?"
Zhu Yunxi knelt down without thinking about it, and kowtowed to Lao Zhu.
"Please punish the emperor!"
Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan shouted vigorously as if they were crazy when they heard this.
"Big nephew, this is obviously framed by someone, we can't coax it!"
"We don't confess our sins anyway!"
"We didn't do it!"
Lao Zhu looked at his eldest grandson with satisfaction, and secretly said that this grandson was quite smart, and he didn't shout grievances in a sloppy manner.
It's just that when he looked at Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan, his face was not so kind, these two goods still haven't understood, and they should really be beaten to death. ….
"Since you know you're wrong, we'll punish you!"
"Someone came, the imperial grandson knowingly committed a crime, smuggled weapons and armor, focused on beating sixty boards, and was imprisoned in the Jinyi Guard Prison after the fight!"
"The two brothers, Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan, beat the imperial court officials, and they did not repent afterwards, and they focused on beating the forty boards, and they were also thrown into the Jinyiwei prison for reflection!"
When Ru Yu heard this, she was overjoyed in her heart.
Unexpectedly, with a little trickery, he could lead His Majesty to put the imperial grandson in prison!
The other civil officials could not hide the surprise on their faces, but this surprise quickly disappeared and was replaced by the calm of Gujing Wubo.
Only Fu Youde and Kong Ne knelt down and pleaded.
"Your Majesty, even if the imperial grandson is at fault, he should not be punished so heavily, please let Your Majesty be lenient and save some face for the imperial grandson!"
Compared with Fu Youde's plea, Kongne's purpose is much clearer.
"Your Majesty, the imperial grandson is young, even if he occasionally makes mistakes, it is not appropriate to punish them too much. Relatively speaking, the three masters of the imperial grandson have an unshirkable responsibility."
"Therefore, Wechen suggested that the three masters of the emperor's grandson be severely punished, demoted to concubines, and sent back to their hometowns......
Kong Ne is different from the civil officials in the court, he is still very satisfied with the imperial grandson, but he feels that the imperial grandson is too young and needs to be carefully taught.
As for who needs to be taught, of course, it is after a saint of high virtue like him.
Therefore, as soon as he opened his mouth to plead, he went to Zhu Yunxi's three masters.
After the two pleaded, several other ministers also knelt down to intercede.
"Your Majesty, the imperial grandson should not be punished, even if he commits a major crime, he should not be punished heavily."
Lao Zhu: Yes
Yu everyone's plea did not have the slightest expression, just waved his hand lightly.
"No one needs to plead!"
"Someone!"
"Drag the imperial grandson and the two rebels down!"
"Hit hard!"
"No!"
Jin Yiwei said "offended" to Zhu Yunxi, and then dragged him to the door and pressed him to the ground to fight.
Zhu Yunxi had already trained his iron butt under Lao Zhu's whip, and Jinyiwei's board was similar to a massage for him.
Zhu Yunxi didn't care, but Zhu Wei and Zhu Quan were not so lucky.
First, Jinyiwei didn't dare to release the water, and secondly, the two couldn't help fighting, and the two of them exchanged tears after a few boards.
"Father, don't fight, the son knows his mistake, wow woo woo woo ...... "
Lao Zhu heard the cries of the two rebels, and a burst of irritability rose in his heart, and he scolded jumping to his feet.
"Hit us hard!"
"It doesn't matter if you kill you!"
Although Lao Zhu said so, who dared to really beat the prince to death?
It's just that the swing of the board is a little higher, and the force of the fight is a little heavier.
Since Lao Zhu personally supervised this time, Jinyiwei didn't dare to release the water, and went down with forty boards, and knocked Zhu Zhi and Zhu Quan unconscious on the spot.
Relatively speaking, Zhu Yunxi was okay, although he was sweating all over the pain, he still gritted his teeth and carried it, and he didn't say a word.
For Zhu Yunxi, the pain in his butt is far less severe than the heartache.
His mind is now full of confusion, how did his dozens of carts of farm tools become weapons and armor? ….
Now it is clear that his farm tools have been contracted by the people of the military department.
It's just that he can't figure out where the military department got so many weapons and armor.
It stands to reason that these people in the Ministry of War should not have the courage to steal the workshop for production.
Moreover, even if they had secretly opened the workshop themselves, it would have been impossible to produce weapons of this quality.
It's not scientific at all!
Even if Zhu Yunxi was carried to the Jinyiwei prison, he was still thinking about this matter in his mind.
If he can't figure this thing out, he deserves to be killed even if he is beaten to death by the emperor's grandfather!
Lao Zhu also knew that the eldest grandson was wronged, because the eldest grandson had always had his eyeliner in the hydraulic workshop, and he had long known that this rebel grandson had changed the sword into a knife blank, and also changed the armor into armor, iron wire, cowhide and other things, and it was shipped separately to avoid his own supervision.
It can be said that the eldest grandson's warehouse does not have assembled armor and polished weapons, so where did the things on the car come from?
It's just that he wanted to take this opportunity to teach the eldest grandson a lesson, so that the eldest grandson could understand the insidiousness of the officials, which led to it, and even punished the eldest grandson in public.
In the dead of night, the senior cell of Fusi in North Town.
Zhu Yunxi lay on the bed, looking at the ground in a daze, his mind full of daytime things.
Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, the door of the prison slowly opened.
He looked up and saw the imperial grandfather wearing a cloak and walking in through the door with a wicked smile on his face.
Behind him, Qin Deshun followed in with a food box and placed it on the table in the cell.
Lao Zhu sat on the edge of the eldest grandson's bed, lifted the gauze covering the eldest grandson's buttocks, and saw that Jin Yiwei had not beaten himself as hard, and his hanging heart was also put down.
"Little rebel grandson, are you scolding us in your heart?"
Zhu Yunxi shook his head and said.
"Nope!"
"My grandson just hates myself for being stupid and falling for someone else's way!"
Lao Zhu nodded happily when he heard this.
"It is worthy of our eldest grandson, and his knowledge is better than your two uncles!"
"We know that you were wronged, and we know that you didn't sell those weapons and armor, but do you know why we should punish you?"
Zhu Yunxi had already guessed that Lao Zhu was deliberate, so there was no surprise on his face when he heard this.
"Grandpa Huang wants his grandson to eat a trench and grow wise!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said happily when he heard this.
"Yes!"
"You are a kind-hearted child, you are devoted to anyone, and you are never willing to doubt others, nor are you willing to maliciously speculate about others."
"It's your strength, but it's also your weakness!"
When Lao Zhu said this, he couldn't help sighing.
"Didn't we do that back then?"
"However, a Guo Huan case directly scared us."
"There are a total of thirteen political envoys in the Ming Dynasty, and a total of twelve are involved!"
"From the six Shangshu to the county officials, all of them are up and down to deceive us!"
