Zhang Xie En withdrew from the imperial study.

But Zhu Yuanzhang's heart is not calm, Zhang Lu is strong in martial arts at a young age, and at the same time he is not greedy for money, not greedy for merit, knows how to advance and retreat, and can do good deeds, these seemingly beautiful qualities are not necessarily a good thing when put on a person's body.

In Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes, Zhang Lu has done this at such an age, he can already be called a demon, Zhu Yuanzhang is confident that he can suppress Zhang Lu when he is in power, but what about after he dies? Can the prince still be able to control Zhang Lu?

It's hard to say this kind of thing, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Lu's academic performance was really miserable, and he was hostile to many courtiers and nobles, Zhu Yuanzhang would not hesitate to cut Zhang Lu directly on a trumped-up charge.

As for now, let this kid live first, although the nine gates are destroyed, but the implication is widespread, as long as it is used properly, maybe this kid will become a good knife.

Zhu Yuanzhang thought about it, picked up the three impeachment notes on the case, handed them to the eunuch on the side, and instructed: "Send these three copies to Jinyiwei, let Jiang Zhen check it carefully, if these three people are related to Jiumen, then what should be done."

The eunuch took the fold and rushed to the Jinyi guard.

Although the matter of the Nine Gates did not spread in Jinling City, almost everyone in the upper echelons of the Ming Dynasty knew about it.

Zhang Lu almost wiped out Jiumen this time, and now the business that Jiumen originally controlled is also stagnant. I don't know how many officials in Jinling City have received the benefits of the Nine Gates, and now that the Nine Gates are gone, the financial routes of these officials will be cut off.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents, these officials are eager to pick up a knife and directly hack Zhang to death, but most of the officials are smart and sensible, despite their anger, they did not go up to impeach, and now erasing all the evidence between them and Jiumen is the key.

So after this incident, there were only three people who impeached Zhang Lu, and it seems that these three people are not very smart.

Time passed so peacefully, the fall of the Nine Gates did not bring any changes, and the daily court meetings were still held, but whether it was the courtiers or His Majesty the Emperor, they all chose to remain silent, no one mentioned the Nine Gates, and no one said that Zhang Lu had killed a lot of people that night.

Only the three vacant positions above the court seemed to remind everyone of what was going on.

Of course, there are still a lot of changes in Jinling City, such as the underworld in Jinling City has all been completed by Ji Gang, although Yu Zhaosen and Gao Jian have not been found, but they still found He Xianzu of the chrysalis gate, because He Xianzu has never done murder and arson, he was directly absorbed by Ji Gang, and all the businesses of the original nine doors were taken over, and many women were rescued from Changmen.

Since then, there has also been a strange scene in Jinling City, those five big and three rough, fierce faces in the underworld actually began to do good deeds, nothing to help the grandmother cross the road, mediate neighborhood disputes, help the government maintain order in the city, and even go to the moss village outside the city to do volunteer care for beggars, which also makes Jinling City look more prosperous.

As for the money earned by the underworld, in addition to distributing it to the brothers below, the rest of the big heads were also handed over to the state under the lead of Zhang Lu.

……

On this day, as soon as Zhang Lu returned to the mansion after practicing martial arts, Zhang Fu pounced excitedly.

Zhang Lu was puzzled, and hurriedly asked, "Brother Fu, why are you so excited?"

I saw Zhang Fu's face happy, and he said: "Brother Chen, I heard that the military report of the imperial court has arrived, the general Lan Yu led the army to attack the fishing sea, the Yuan army was defeated, only the Yuan lord escaped with dozens of horses, and there were more than 120 princes, concubines, and princesses captured in this battle, 3,000 officials, 70,000 sergeants, and countless gold and silver for the rest of the livestock and livestock, a big victory!" What a victory!"

This is indeed exciting good news for Daming, and it is also good news for the brothers Zhang Fu and Zhang Lu.

Zhang Lu was also overjoyed after hearing this, and said happily, "So, the uncle is coming back soon?"

Zhang Fu nodded, looking very happy, "No, when the military report was issued, the army was already in class, and the day when my father came back is coming soon."

In the era of cold weapons, fighting a war is to fill it with human lives, and because of the backwardness of health care, it is in

The survival rate of wounded on the battlefield is very low.

Since Zhang Yu followed Lan Yu to send troops, the two brothers have been worried, and now that they know that the army has triumphed, can the two brothers not be happy.

Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy when he got this news, and praised Lan Yu in front of all the courtiers for being comparable to Wei Qing of the Han Dynasty and Li Jing of the Tang Dynasty.

The Han people were oppressed and enslaved, and they were not even allowed to take their names, so they could only be replaced by numbers, and even His Majesty the Emperor used to be called Zhu Chongba.

Now that the Ming Dynasty has completely destroyed the Great Yuan, how can the people of the Ming Dynasty not rejoice?

Time passed day by day, the weather also turned from hot to cold, in anticipation, the army finally returned to Yingtianfu, the army was stationed outside the city, the generals also could not return to the house, they could only wait until the next day the court would play right, and then go to the military department to perform their duties in order to go back to their respective homes to find their mothers.

Early the next morning, Zhang Lu also had a rare lack of sleep, so he changed into new clothes early, and arranged the brazier at home with Zhang Fu, so he sat down quietly in the hall and waited for Zhang Yu to return.

It's just that he hasn't waited for Zhang Yu yet, but he has waited for a eunuch to deliver the decree.

The will is also quite simple: "Wait for the audience."

The two brothers glanced at each other, and they both felt a little strange, the army returned to the court after victory, and it is likely that a celebration banquet will be held under the court, and the families of meritorious ministers will also be invited under normal circumstances, but Zhang Fu is Zhang Yu's son-in-law, Zhang Yu is only Zhang Yu's nephew, there is no reason not to invite Zhang Fu?

Although there were doubts in their hearts, the two brothers did not dare to ask more.

Calculate the time, the court meeting should not be over yet, Zhang Lu immediately changed the new clothes on his body, put on the robe of the brocade guard, and praised the embroidered spring knife at his waist, and then followed the eunuch into the palace.

At this moment, the court meeting was indeed still going on, and Zhang Lu was directly taken to the main hall, and because he was a brocade guard, he was allowed to bring a knife inside.

This was the first time he had seen the court, and he couldn't help but look left and right with interest.

Before, a strong man in front of him was kneeling on the ground, with his hair scattered and his underwear, and there were some traces of blood on his body, as if he had been whipped.

Zhang Lu didn't care, he directly stepped forward and knelt on the ground, and said: "Long live the Five Emperors, long live the army, today the army is still in court, Weichen congratulates Your Majesty, congratulations to Daming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the main seat and did not make a sound, he directly threw a piece of music in front of Zhang Yuan.

Zhang Lu cautiously raised his head and asked, "Your Majesty, is this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was expressionless, he couldn't see his likes and dislikes, and he just said, "Pinglianghou impeached your recital, you can see for yourself."

Zhang Zhen picked up the fold, but it was full of traditional characters, and the words written were all non-nutritious, he turned two pages, he couldn't read it anymore, and said directly, "What did Pinglianghou write? Wechen can't read it."

Zhu Yuanzhang on the main seat snorted coldly and said, "The teachers in the James Mansion are all talented people like Huang Zicheng, how did they teach you such an unlearned rammer? I can't even read the music for your impeachment?"

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "It's all Weichen's fault, Weichen can't live with Your Majesty, with Mr. Zicheng, and with ......

God knows how many people he can say if Zhang Lu continues, Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't like to listen to nonsense, so he immediately interrupted: "Pingliang Hou sued you for abusing your power and privately arranged a monk and a ruffian into the Jinyi Guard, but is there such a thing?"

A monk and a ruffian? I think it's Wu Peng and Ji Gang, this matter is not a secret, with Jiang Xuan's permission, and Ji Gang is now the new generation of dark masters in Jinling City, helping the court to take care of a lot of business, and the government and His Majesty also know about it.

Thinking of this, Zhang Lu had confidence in his heart, he jumped up directly on the spot, and said loudly, "What about Pinglianghou? I want to confront Pinglianghou face to face! I'm going to ask him why he's framing me!"

"Don't be rude, don't kneel down quickly."

It was the strong man with the cloak next to him who spoke.

Zhang Yuan's eyes widened, he walked in front of the strong man, and gently brushed the strong man's hair, who else could this strong man be if he was not his uncle Zhang Yu?

Looking at Zhang Yu's haggard face and chapped lips, Zhang Yu was also angry, and he said to Zhang Yu with concern: "Uncle, you went on a trip with the army, how did it become like this?"

Zhang Yu didn't answer, but said sharply, "Rou'er! This is the pilgrimage! You don't want to get on your knees quickly!"

Zhang Yu knew that Zhang Yu was doing it for his good, so he nodded and knelt back, but he couldn't help but think in his heart: Uncle, what's wrong? Didn't you commit any crime?

Zhu Yuanzhang, who was on the throne, did not blame Zhang Lu for roaring in the court just now, and seeing that Zhang Lu had already knelt down again, Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Pingliang Hou is still thinking about it behind closed doors in the mansion, and he has not come to the hall, as for whether his impeachment of you is true or false, the court has its own public opinion, come and take Zhang Lu's official uniform first, and unload his knife."

Zhang Lu didn't say much, and let others take away his official uniform and embroidered spring knife.

Zhu Yuanzhang also nodded and said, "Okay, you kid will stand at the back first, and when the court meeting is over, go home and wait for the meeting."

Zhang Yu said, "Thank you, Your Majesty." He obediently stood at the back of all the courtiers, but his eyes were always on his uncle.

Zhang Yu was here, but he saw a general-like man in armor kneeling down on one knee in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and said: "Zhang Yu is greedy for military rations and detains sergeants, and now the evidence is conclusive, please ask Your Majesty to make the decision for the officers and soldiers of our three armies, and severely sentence Zhang Yu to this fang!"

This person Zhang Lu had never seen it, but he could guess that this person was probably Yongchang Hou Lanyu.

At the same time, Zhang Yu really can't understand a little, Zhang Yu is a general, he has always been low-key, and he even warned himself and Zhang Fu on weekdays that they can't be domineering and can't get into trouble, how can such a person be greedy for food and grass and detain sergeants?
