Chapter 345: Slap in the face

Looking at Zhu Di's not too good-looking face, He Qiu said softly.

"Father-in-law, these little people don't understand the government, let alone knowledge, and it's normal that they can't say good things, don't take it to heart."

Zhu Di paused and said angrily.

"You think I'm a citizen in the gas teahouse? No! I'm angry at the reckless military man just now, and he is my person in the eyes of everyone, what is the result?

It's really hateful to be doing nonsense there, constantly smearing my image, and others have put all this account on my head! ”

He Qiu frowned and said.

"Although these sergeants are hateful, we still have to see who arranged for them to collect taxes, and these rough men will do the wrong thing when they do such work?"

Zhu Di took a deep breath and said.

"That's the reason, the people behind this should be investigated fiercely!"

Saying that, Zhu Di sneered.

"I understand why Jinling's commercial tax can be reduced by half at the beginning, and it is strange to use such people to collect taxes! It's just that there must be other people in here, and I think these sergeants are using guns for people. ”

The two were still talking about the matter as they walked, but they didn't take a few steps before they heard someone exclaim.

"The official messenger was killed!"

Zhu Di and He Qiu were both taken aback, walked forward quickly, and saw the triumphant sergeant just now lying in a pool of blood.

At this moment, Zhu Di's face was really dark, and his lips trembled with anger.

He Qiu immediately felt extremely bad, Zhu Di was really angry, yes, how to say that this sergeant also represents the majesty of the imperial court, but also represents Zhu Di personally.

As a result, he was beaten to death on the street, or in front of Zhu Di's face, this is really not a trivial matter.

It may seem to some people that this is not a big deal today, but it is just the death of a small official who collects taxes on the street, not to mention that this little official is still very angry with the people.

If Zhu Di thinks that nothing has happened and lets this matter pass in a daze, wouldn't it be good?

But in fact, there is no way to easily uncover this matter.

This has just moved the capital, and such a vicious case has occurred, isn't this just a slap in the face of Zhu Di?

What's more, this person is a sergeant who followed Zhu Di all the way from Beiping to Jinling and then to Luoyang, and he was one of the three guards of King Yan.

Although there is no battle of appeasement now, these people are still one of Zhu Di's basic plates, and they are the most powerful support for Zhu Di's imperial power.

But such a person died in front of Zhu Di's eyes, if Zhu Di just sat idly by, what would the other courtiers from Beiping think of Zhu Di?

Affectionate, or deliberately alienating them?

This one is not careful, it may cause a huge shock among this group of people, causing a rift between Zhu Di and this group of people in Beiping.

This group of people in Beiping seems to be inconspicuous, but they represent the border army, the most elite army of the Ming Dynasty, and Zhu Di can't pay too much attention to them.

Even if such a person does something wrong, it must be dealt with by Zhu Di, and it is absolutely impossible for them to die on the street in such an unknown way.

Otherwise, where would Zhu Di's face be?

What made Zhu Di feel even more heartbroken was that he thought he was doing a good job, after all, Zhu Yuanzhang's intentional reform of the law was continuing.

Moreover, after the relocation of the capital, the imperial court slowly appeared a new atmosphere, and also sent people to the West to develop maritime trade.

In Zhu Di's heart, the Ming Dynasty is thriving in his hands, getting better little by little.

But the result?

It was not long after the capital was moved, and such a thing happened in Luoyang City, which simply slapped Zhu Di in the face several times.

Zhu Di only felt anger rise from his heart, his eyes were a little blood-red, and he dropped two words hard.

"Go back to the palace!"

He Qiu's heart couldn't help but sigh, it seemed that there was going to be a bloody storm above the court again.

The courtiers thought that Zhu Di had a lenient temperament, after all, from the time he ascended the throne to the present, Zhu Di did not rectify the officials, and many people were probably still glad that they finally ushered in a lenient emperor after the Hongwu Dynasty.

But He Qiu knew best in his heart, Zhu Di had never been a good-tempered person, not to mention the battle of Jingjing in history, the east and the west, and then punished Fang Xiaoru and the ten clans, and swept the court with extremely violent means.

In today's Ming Dynasty alone, although Zhu Di has not gone through the Jingjing, he has not fought less battles when he was on the frontier.

He Zhu Di was the first king of the clan, but he didn't blow it out.

Some people even think that this tiger is a docile cat, which is really stupid!

sighed like this in his heart, but He Qiu's steps did not fall at all, and followed closely behind Zhu Di and returned to the Luoyang Palace.

Seeing that Zhu Di was about to lose his temper, He Qiu didn't think he could persuade him, he just silently watched what Zhu Di did, if he really went too far, it was not too late to dissuade him.

"Summoning all the generals in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, all of them are present, and no one can be left behind!"

Zhu Di's order was conveyed, and there were not a few people who rushed to the palace.

In today's Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies, although there are also founding heroes like Xu Huizu, there are more of Zhu Di's cronies in Beiping.

This is all an adjustment made by Zhu Di after he ascended the throne, after all, the position of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies is very important, and if it is handed over to someone else, Zhu Di is not very relieved.

So this time, there were more than 70 people, and there were more than 20 descendants of the founding heroes alone, all of whom were headed by Xu Huizu.

Most of the rest are Zhu Di's old generals, led by Zhang Yu, and they are all together, and it can be said that the heavy generals of the Ming Dynasty now, except for those who are leading troops outside and guarding the frontier, everyone else has arrived.

When these people came to the palace, they also felt Zhu Di's anger, but they didn't know what was going on, so they could only stand in the hall awkwardly after saluting.

Zhu Di walked in front of them, looked at each of them with his eyes, and inspected for a full two or three minutes before he spoke.

"Why are some of you so dissatisfied?"

Xu Huizu was secretly frightened, what was going on?

He also took over the work of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies last year, and Lan Yu, who was in charge of this piece before, claimed that he was old, so he unloaded his errands and enjoyed himself in the Guogong Mansion every day.

In the affairs of the Governor's Mansion, he also respected the opinions of Zhang Yu and others, and knew that their relationship with Zhu Di was not ordinary, but how could he have thought that it had only been a year, and there was something wrong in the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies?

Xu Huizu, who was confused, looked at Zhang Yu beside him, and it happened that Zhang Yu also turned his head sideways to look at him, neither of them knew what was going on, but seeing that Zhu Di was so angry, he could only bow his head and say.

"The ministers are guilty."

"Guilty? What are your sins? Take such a vernacular every day to deceive me! ”

Zhu Di restrained his anger slightly, calmed down, and asked in a strange way.

"Do you know what happened?"

"Before?"

Now these generals are even more unclear, and some of them are clever and turn their eyes to He Qiu who is asking for help, and He Qiu can only shake his head helplessly.

At this time, how dare he talk too much here, and if he is not careful, he will be involved.

Zhu Di saw their dazed appearances, and his heart became even more angry.

"It's really a waste of your robes! As a general, you can't even do the most basic deafness and sight, what can you do when you go to the battlefield, wait for death? ”
