Chapter 779: Touching the Melon
Zhu Su watched Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong being taken into prison by the servants of the Criminal Department, and he unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
Ming canonical punishment, such an ending is the most appropriate. Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong did use their connections to amass troops near Gyeonggi, and they also attacked the prince in an attempt to do wrong. This matter is irrefutable, and with a little investigation, it is ironclad evidence.
It is far better to kill him with the law of the country than to kill him because the emperor is angry. This is also the reason why Zhu Biao chose to interrogate the two in the Criminal Department. From the beginning, they discussed that they would be punished in a dignified manner and in accordance with the laws of the country.
Although Lu Zhongheng's arrogance with his past achievements was unexpected, Lao Zhu's sudden appearance completely suppressed the arrogance of Lu Tang and the others. And because of Queen Ma's words, Lao Zhu finally suppressed his anger...... This is indeed the best result.
Thinking of this, Zhu Su couldn't help but look at Queen Ma...... His own queen mother is indeed a great help for Emperor Hongwu to have such achievements.
“…… Xiao Wu'er, what are you doing for your mother? Why don't you get closer to show your mother? Queen Ma felt Zhu Su's gaze and beckoned Zhu Su, the young son, to come over. After looking at it for a while, he was relieved: "Although it is dark, my spirit is better." ”
"You and Xiao Si are on an expedition outside the territory, and your father is worried about it every day...... Hearing that you have returned to Beijing, he actually abandoned his reliance and drove lightly to ......"
"Ahem, this mother-in-law, what are you talking about." Lao Zhu is a very feudal traditional strict father, Queen Ma told him about his son, and he subconsciously felt a little embarrassed. "Fourth, fifth, this trip is good."
"Let's go home, go home and talk about ......"
In order to return to Yingtian a few days earlier, the two of them were still dressed in civilian clothes, which was really inappropriate.
Back in the palace, Lao Zhu and Empress Ma changed into a common clothes, and changed into the clothes of the emperor and queen of the heavenly family. Zhu Biao, Zhu Zhang, Zhu Su, Zhu Di four brothers have been waiting in this inner hall for a long time, when the old Zhu returned to the palace, he had ordered the imperial dining room to prepare food, and now after changing clothes, he just called the imperial kitchen to serve the food and hold this small family banquet.
"What the fourth and fifth are doing in the west, the boss has sent someone to hand over the fold to us quickly...... Well, it's really good, that Timur's wolf ambition will be troubled if he stays for a long time. After the destruction of the Timurid Khanate, only the Golden Horde was left in the land of Mongolia in the past, and it was not submitted to my Ming Dynasty. ”
Speaking of this great cause of expanding the territory, Lao Zhu's face was very happy. Now the Ming Dynasty is thriving, and even with his prestige as the founding emperor, the tide is rising again and again. The territory actually controlled by the Ming Dynasty is now about to catch up with the Han and Tang Dynasties.
If a few years ago, some people still felt that the Ming Dynasty was not the orthodox of China, and they still felt that the Mengyuan court in the north was the Zhengshuo of China, and now everyone in the world must admit that the Ming Dynasty is the inheritance of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and the Zhu family is the co-master of the world.
The Ming Dynasty was founded only for one generation, but it already has the heritage and popularity that other dynasties have saved for a hundred years.
"The boss is doing a good job...... Let's go back to Fengyang this time to worship our ancestors, and you will deal with everything big and small in a very orderly manner. "Lao Zhu affirmed Zhu Di and Zhu Su, and then praised the crown prince Zhu Biao." Tang Shengzong and Lu Zhongheng's affairs were handled properly! This kind of thing should be decided immediately and categorically not postponed. ”
"Thanks to the help of the three younger brothers, otherwise, my son would not have such confidence." Zhu Biao smiled faintly, still pampered and not surprised, gentle as jade, and looked at Lao Zhu's heart with joy: a prince who is not surprised, can be arbitrary, and can be friendly to his brothers, it can be said that he is very satisfied.
Over the years, the tempering of this eldest son has been very successful.
It can be said that if Zhu Biao mentions to him now that he can't bear to be the emperor and wants to be the emperor, Lao Zhu will definitely hand over the emperor's jade seal with great interest, and then take Queen Ma back to Fengyang to make his wife and children go to the hot kang head.
However, Zhu Biao is not stupid, with the prestige of Lao Zhu, the founding emperor, on his head, he can save thousands of times his effort in dealing with the government. Zhu Biao wished that Lao Zhu would be in the position of emperor for another few tens or hundreds of years.
"Chongba, this matter between Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong, I'm afraid that a lot of personnel are involved." By Lao Zhu's side, Queen Ma thought about it and reminded Lao Zhu. "Prisoners were bought from the north and transported all the way to the south...... Along the way, I don't know how many people will sell their faces and make it convenient for them. ”
"Among them, there may be many border generals, or other martial arts with heavy troops...... It is easy to deal with Lu Tang and the others, but it affects the whole body, how to deal with these people, it is still necessary to come up with a charter as soon as possible. ”
“…… We know. Old Zhu straightened his face and nodded solemnly. Now that he has relieved his taste, he is also glad that he was not angry, and killed Lu Tang and the others on the spot. If they can do this business, there must be a lot of involvement behind them, and if they are killed directly, the relationships behind them will become a headless unjust case.
He didn't worry that someone would make trouble, he just thought about pulling out all the thorns of the Ming Dynasty for his descendants one by one when he was still in power...... With him, those hidden ghosts and ghosts can't turn the sky upside down.
"Erchen feels that the things exposed by Lu Tang and the others are just afraid that it is more than that." Zhu Biao thought about it a little and said to Lao Zhu. "The business of that person market has emerged in the past few years, and there is no rule on how to manage it. However, everyone in the world knows that it has huge profits, and now it has also exposed the hidden dangers of its existence. How to establish a legal system is a difficult problem that the DPRK and China urgently need to solve. ”
"And ...... How did Lu Tang and the others come up with the idea of going to sea to be self-reliant? Was there anyone instigating it? After Wu Xun leaves the country, if he is resentful, how should he regulate it? There is a shortage of manpower in the country, and business in the human market is in the way of peace. But if the city is banned, where should these many industries find people to work......"
"These are unprecedented problems in the past dynasties, there is nothing to learn from in the annals of history, I have encountered these things in the Ming Dynasty, it is the first time since the beginning of the world...... If you can't handle it properly, I'm afraid it will be a lot of trouble. ”
Speaking of this, a trace of worry and exhaustion appeared in Zhu Biao's eyes. Now that tomorrow is changing with each passing day, almost one day at a time, Rao is Zhu Biao's government affairs ability is also outstanding, and sometimes he is quite inadequate.
Now from the case of Lu Zhongheng and Tang Shengzong, so many problems have been involved in one breath, which makes it difficult for Zhu Biao not to feel exhausted.
Lao Zhu knew that what Zhu Biao was worried about was not vain. Now that Daming has gradually thickened its foundation, there are more and more new things, and we have to deal with it carefully. If you don't deal with it properly, there will be some mistakes in the court, and when you get to the bottom, you may have a big mess that is difficult to clean up.
After thinking about it, Lao Zhu felt that he should still solicit more opinions first. Thinking like this, he naturally looked at Zhu Su.
"Old Five, what do you think?"
