Mao Xiang was a little panicked, and wanted to take advantage of Lan Bin's performance to make up for Jinyiwei's mistakes in time, and conceal Jinyiwei's failure to discover the problem of trial commercial tax enforcement in time.

Maybe if you do it properly, you can please the emperor and get a reward.

It's good now, someone stabbed him in the back, so that the emperor knew in advance.

Not to mention currying favor with the emperor, even if you want to hide the mistakes of Jinyiwei, you can't do it.

Thinking about it, he suddenly knelt on the ground: "The minister failed to discover the problem in the implementation of the commercial tax collection in time, and he failed to live up to the holy grace, and the minister deserved death!"

"Mao Xiang, how many years have you been with us!" Zhu Yuanzhang ate breakfast, took the handkerchief handed by the palace maid, wiped his mouth and hands, threw it on the table, and said lightly.

When Mao Xiang heard this, he panicked even more, he was not afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would scold him or even punish him, he was afraid that Zhu Yuanzhang would talk to him so kindly.

He knew that once Zhu Yuanzhang went against the norm and talked to him in a friendly manner, it showed that Zhu Yuanzhang was very angry that Jin Yiwei failed to discover the trial implementation of commercial tax in time.

Even when he was angry, he also moved to kill.

But in a panic, he didn't dare to show the slightest disrespect: "Minister, the minister has followed the emperor for more than 20 years."

"Yes! It's been more than 20 years!"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Mao Xiang and sighed: "We still remember that when we led the army to conquer Dingyuan, it was your father Mao Qi who took the county order to surrender and help us take Dingyuan."

"Later, your father Mao Qi and Li Shanchang worked together to manage warehouses and military rations with the army, and made a lot of contributions!"

"It's a pity that your father has a thin life, and he died of illness before the Ming Dynasty opened the country!"

"Your Majesty..." Mao Xiang was moved to tears, he didn't expect that after such a long time, the emperor still remembered his father who had passed away. Think about yourself again, from a small school, with the grace of the emperor, as the commander of the Jinyi Guard, and the dignified minister of the three grades.

But he failed the emperor's grace and messed up his errand.

Guilty.

Zhu Yuanzhang seemed to fall into memory, and said: "When your father died, you began to follow us, conquering the east and the west, and making great contributions. After the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, you gave up honor and disgrace and became a sharp knife in our hands, sweeping away lawlessness."

"Your Majesty, the ministers have the grace of God, and the crime deserves death, please punish the emperor!" Mao Xiang kowtowed vigorously, and the sound of kowtowing was not small, and the entire Qianqing Palace could hear it.

Zhu Yuanzhang's memories were interrupted, looking at Mao Xiao who was kowtowing, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, when he received the secret report from Jinyiwei last night, he learned that there was a big problem with Yingtianfu's trial of commercial taxes, but Jinyiwei did not have a trace of intelligence.

It was still the Jinyi Wei secret pile of the Lan Mansion, and it was only after hearing Lan Bin and the scholars discussing the problems in the implementation of the trial commercial tax, and playing it to Mao Xiang, it attracted Mao Xiang's attention.

Such an obvious dereliction of duty, he wanted to order someone to send Mao Xiang to prison.

Even before Mao Xiang came this morning, he still thought so.

Just now, he wanted to catch up with Mao Xiang and let Mao Xiang take him down, but when he remembered Mao Xiang's father Mao Qi, he was a little shaken.

As he just said, Mao Qi was a literati who followed him soon after he got into trouble.

At that time, he had two scholars in his hands to carry out confidential work on documents, one was Li Shanchang and the other was Mao Qi.

And Mao Xiang is Mao Qi's only son.

Just executed Mao Xiang like this, a little sorry for Mao Qi, the late old brother.

Thinking about it, he sighed secretly, the killing thought dissipated a lot, just read it for Mao Qi's sake, and give Mao Qian another chance to make meritorious contributions.

Well, one last chance!

couldn't help but say, "Okay, for your father's sake, let's let you go this time." But the death penalty is forbidden, but the living sin cannot be escaped."

"Passing the decree, the Jinyi Guard commanded Mao Xiang, who was ineffective in handling things, and had the grace of God, but remembering his past merits, he was demoted to a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and he was guilty of meritorious service!"

"Thank you for your kindness, thank you for your kindness!" Mao Xiang knocked his head three more times, making his forehead, which was already bloodstained, even more bloody.

He's in the heart at this moment

There is no dissatisfaction, only rejoicing, glad that he has a good father, who has been dead for so many years, and is still sheltering himself.

is also glad that although the emperor is cold-blooded and ruthless, he is a person who remembers his old love after all.

Otherwise, his dead father will not be able to save himself when he is resurrected.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand and said, "Let's go down!"

"Resignation!"

Mao Xiang stopped kowtowing, endured the dizziness of his head, got up and stepped back.

At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang's voice came: "Come on, let Lan Bin and Jiang Zhen come to see us!"

Jiang Xuan?!

It turned out to be this dog thing stabbing me in the back?

Mao Xiang, who had just exited the hall, was still thinking about who stabbed him in the back, but when he heard Zhu Yuanzhang's words, he decisively decided that it was Jiang Xuan.

The reason is very simple, Lan Bin is much more favored than himself in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and he doesn't need to backstab him at all to curry favor with Zhu Yuanzhang and get the holy favor.

Moreover, he didn't think he had offended Lan Bin, and Lan Bin had nothing to do with him, let alone do it.

But Jiang Zheng is different.

First of all, Jiang Zhen is a thousand households of Jinyi Wei, and he, the commander of Jinyi Wei, is unlucky, and Jiang Zheng has the possibility of ascending to the top. Don't look at the Jinyi Wei Qianhu, there are a few levels between the Jinyi Wei commander and the envoy.

But with the emperor, he never cares about this. A talented person can be promoted to the position of the six Shangshu, not to mention the position of a Jinyi Wei Qianhu to the position of commander.

Secondly, Jiang Zhen is insidious and cunning, greedy for fame and fortune, and it is normal to do things that stab him in the back.

In the end, although Jiang Zhen had a good relationship with him, he was not his confidant.

However, Mao Xiang knew that he knew, and even hated Jiang Zhen to the point that his teeth itched, but he didn't dare to have the slightest other thoughts, especially since he had now been demoted to a hundred households in Jinyiwei.

For Jiang Xuan, there is only the share of being pinched and ravaged.

Thinking about it, after Mao Xiang held a grudge against Jiang Xuan, he withdrew from the Qianqing Palace and went to get the board himself. …………

Blue House.

Lan Bin had breakfast, changed into a unicorn suit, took his entourage on Thursday, left Lanfu, went to the Beijing Wounded Barracks area, and checked the health situation of the wounded barracks.

It was determined that his father Lan Yu had indeed cleaned up the wounded barracks in accordance with the external injury treatment methods he wrote, and replaced the moldy and smelly quilts, clothes and other items of the wounded soldiers.

After giving the entire wounded barracks a new look, he said hello to Lan Yu, and then left the Beijing camp and went to the palace, preparing to invite Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao to the Beijing camp to demonstrate the treatment of trauma in person.

"It's Lan Baihu's carriage ahead!"

When Lan Bin's carriage had just arrived at the gate of the palace, Lan Bin, who was sitting in the carriage, suddenly heard the somewhat shrill voice of the eunuch outside, and couldn't help but lift the curtain of the carriage to take a look.

I happened to see the eunuch who was negotiating with Thursday, and I saw the appearance of it.

When the eunuch saw Lan Bin, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly abandoned Thursday and walked over: "Lan Baihu, the miscellaneous family can be regarded as finding you!"
