"From now on, abolish Ma Xiuying's position as queen and demote her to an ordinary concubine!" Zhu Yuanzhang threw a bombshell at the ministers again, "As for who is the new queen, we will discuss it at a later date." ”

When the ministers heard this, their hearts shook again.

Zhu Yuanzhang abolished Queen Ma and once again confirmed to the ministers that the results of Jinyiwei's investigation were unfavorable to the prince, and Zhu Biao was not his biological bloodline. Although he didn't say a word about this matter, he didn't mention a word.

But judging from the results, smart people can guess why.

This is the emperor's family affair, and it is about the face of the royal family.

This kind of thing, if the ministers want to die, it's best to keep their mouths shut.

At the beginning, when they heard that Zhu Biao had been deposed as the crown prince, the ministers must have been unwilling to accept it in their hearts. In their hearts, Zhu Biao is the best prince of the Ming Dynasty, not only benevolent and friendly, but also capable and worthy of the prince.

Zhu Biao is the expectation of the ministers, and there is almost no support from the top to the bottom of the Manchu Dynasty.

If Zhu Biao is deposed for other reasons, there will definitely be many ministers who will stand up for Zhu Biao. There will even be people who die and use their lives to save the prince.

But now Zhu Biao is deposed because he may not be in the blood of Emperor Zhu.

No one dared to stand up.

At this time, he came out to intercede for Zhu Biao, he was looking for death, and he was very wronged.

Queen Ma was deposed as the queen, and Li Shanchang, Liu Bowen, and Song Lian's group of old ministers must have been unwilling to accept it, because they had more or less received the favor of Queen Ma.

They respect and love Queen Ma from the bottom of their hearts.

But now, it is possible that Empress Ma has greened Emperor Zhu.

These people didn't dare to stand up and intercede for Queen Ma. None of them knew the truth, and they didn't know the results of Jinyiwei's investigation, what if that result was true?

This kind of right and wrong must not be contaminated, and it is extremely stupid to take the initiative to participate.

The emperor's family affairs are best handled by the emperor personally.

But the emperor's family affairs seem to be the biggest court event, so some upright ministers are very entangled in their hearts.

Therefore, after the emperor made these two more wills, the whole process was silent in the court.

"The emperor ......" for a long time, and finally someone stood up and spoke, it was Liu Bowen. Liu Bowen stood up and said, "There are some rumors...... It has to be carefully verified......"

"Get out!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

Liu Bowen's face changed, and he immediately retreated.

"Retreat!" Zhu Yuanzhang said.

After retiring from the dynasty, all the ministers were silent, and on the way, a group of ministers did not dare to say a word. Even the usual greetings and small talk are completely gone.

The next day, countless people were arrested and countless people were killed.

The crowd also didn't know if the people who were killed were spreading rumors or talking about it.

Some even think that those people are angry.

The entire Ying Tianfu was panicked.

Emperor Zhu did too much to act, not only abolished Zhu Biao and Queen Ma, but also killed countless people. Only the dripping blood will make those people feel that this is true, not a conspiracy.

This conspiracy not only hacked Zhu Biao, but also hacked the queen.

Before he began to hurt the enemy, Zhu Yuanzhang himself was injured very badly.

The power of those feudal nobles was too terrifying, and in front of Emperor Zhu's eyes before, they killed Chang Yuchun and Chang Fei. All the local governments are their people.

If you don't have such an extraordinary scheme, I'm afraid you really won't be able to take them.

Who could have guessed such a powerful scheme?

Can they not be tricked?

In the imperial study, ......the second tiger came back and reported to Emperor Zhu, "According to Jinyiwei's secret investigation, the deputy general beside King Kaiping was indeed bought by Lu Ben. ”

"The bribe he received is 100,000 taels!"

"A bribe of 100,000 taels of silver killed our Huo Quai! Our founding general, our brother in life and death!? Zhu Yuanzhang listened to the grooming of his expression and the gurgling of his teeth.

"Your Majesty, the whole country of the Ming Dynasty at that time was very short of silver, and 100,000 taels was already a lot." Two Tiger Road. When King Kaiping Chang Yuchun died, it was the second year of Hongwu, how could the national strength at that time be compared with now?

Now Zhu Yuanzhang feels that 100,000 taels of silver is not much, after all, the annual income of the national treasury is hundreds of millions, but in the second year of Hongwu, 100,000 taels of silver is an astronomical amount.

100,000 taels of silver, so that a cronie lieutenant general took a risk and killed his own boss.

Then he claimed to the outside world that he died of a violent illness, and he did not leak.

"Did you find anything else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"After the adjutant general Wang Bi received a bribe of 100,000 taels of silver, he immediately sent a team of sergeants to secretly transport the silver to his hometown and bury it in the ground." Erhu continued to report, "And that small group of sergeants was later all wiped out by Wang Bi. Later, after the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, Wang Bi did not dare to tell anyone about it, let alone use that batch of silver. ”

"In the past three years, he has lived trembling and walking on thin ice."

But it's not why, this matter is still known to his wife. As a last resort, Wang Bi secretly dug out some of the silver, purchased land in his hometown, and hired tenant farmers. ”

"Wang Bi's wife, the life she lives now can be described as a master."

Jin Yiwei secretly checked all of Wang Bi's relatives, seven aunts and eight aunts, even if he did things secretly, it was impossible not to expose them, and the paper couldn't contain the fire.

Unless he doesn't use that money for the rest of his life.

But there is money that can endure it, and that is something that very few people can do. He seems to have done it too, hiding it for three years, but in the end it still didn't hide from his pillow person.

"Is Wang Bi a marquis now?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.

"Nope." Erhu said, "Since Wang Bi colluded with those people, he has also learned their skills, that is, to be with the light and dust, and hide behind the scenes without anything." Those people are old and sophisticated, and they are all old fritters with sophisticated feelings. They have eaten decades more than others, and their heads are full of these things. ”

"Before the emperor divided the meritorious heroes, he began to learn from Xiao He and did not fight for credit, so that there was no marquis."

"Behind Wang Bi, there is a master to guide you!" Zhu Yuanzhang sighed, sneering secretly in his heart, no matter how powerful you are, you can't escape Mr. Qin's Five Finger Mountain.

Mr. Qin, he has long been like an ant.

Emperor Zhu has always thought that his strategy, his vision of people, and his power and scheming are no worse than anyone else, but compared to Qin Yu, he feels that he is an enlightened schoolboy.

For example, he didn't see that the old feudal aristocracy was the biggest enemy of the dynasty.

For example, if he creates a nine sons to seize the heirs and lead those feudal nobles to fight, he can't think of this scheme. In the eyes of the emperors of previous dynasties, the prince's seizure of the heir was a disaster for the imperial court, and he tried his best to avoid it.
