Wuying Palace.

Zhu Yuanzhang was full of praise for Zeng Tai.

"You're good, you're good."

"It's all the duty of a minister." Zeng Tai hurriedly said modestly: "The minister is still far away. ”

"No, they're far worse than you." Zhu Yuanzhang pressed the jade belt with both hands, and asked quietly, "Where did you eat last night?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, at the East Palace, he invited a few former colleagues to pick up the wind for the ministers." Zeng Tai was confused by the question, and replied honestly.

"Who are they?" Boss Zhu seemed to be very interested in this topic, and asked to the bottom of it. "What kind of food did you eat, what kind of wine did you drink?"

"There is also Song Zan in the East Palace, and the East Palace attendant has a thick chapter." Although Zeng Tai didn't know what to do, he still replied honestly: "The dish is four dishes and one soup, with fish, shrimp, ham, and a crockpot soup." As for drinking, it seems to be a small shochu. ”

"Well, this Wu Zhuangyuan is quite good at enjoying it, and he eats better than all of us." Boss Zhu made a joke, Zeng Taigang opened his mouth with a smile, but when he heard the emperor's words, he asked quietly:

"So what are you talking about?"

"This ......" Zeng Tai became more and more confused, but the string in his heart became tighter and tighter. He repeated what he had said during the banquet.

"Why are you vague when you get to where they say?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked.

"Back to the emperor, the minister has a problem, he patronizes himself when he talks, and he can't pay attention to what others say." Zeng Tai sneered.

"Oh, hahaha!" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and said: "I thought you were an honest person, but I didn't expect you to have a slippery side." ”

"I really can't think of it." Zeng Tai hurriedly laughed.

"It doesn't matter if you can't remember, then let's think about it for you." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled faintly, glanced at the imperial case and said:

"You've talked about what happened to Wu Zhuangyuan's family, right?"

"Yes." Zeng Tai felt a pang in his heart, I don't know if the emperor guessed it, or someone told him.

"You forgot that Wu Zhuangyuan's family is from Jiangxi, but they don't believe it, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked again.

"Yes." Zeng Tai's forehead began to sweat, and the former possibility was ruled out. Now it's just a snitch.

"Wu Bozong, the host, naturally can't embarrass you, just say that he doesn't have a few acres of thin land in his family, so he can't make trouble for you." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Zeng Tai, and said angrily and funny:

"You immediately raised the bar and said that he couldn't have only a few acres of land at home. You're really a talent. ”

"Weichen also knows that this is wrong, but Weichen is such a temper, if I don't say anything, I can suffocate to death." Zeng Tai smiled, but his lower body trembled, and he was really scared to pee.

He couldn't help but secretly rejoice, fortunately, at the banquet last night, everyone paid attention to what they said...... Except for Song Zhan's sentence of 'singing merit and praising virtue' and Wu Bozong's sentence of 'Tian Chuan is named', there should be nothing too excessive...... Right?

"What you said in the first half was quite restrained, but if it's just like that, it won't alarm us." I listened to Zhu Yuanzhang say slowly:

"Tell me what you two talked about in the study in the second half. Do you need to give you another reminder? ”

"No, not anymore." Zeng Tai was numb, and he didn't dare to take any chances, and honestly reported last night's study conversation to the emperor.

"Wu Bozong, this little maid raised!" He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang knew everything, but when the emperor heard this, he was furious, and scolded him:

"Who doesn't know that those people were killed by our order? Is he scolding the king of Chu, is he scolding his own father! This thing without a king and a father, let's handpick his champion and cultivate him carefully, is this how he repays us? He's just crazy to the extreme, okay! ”

Zeng Tai was stupid, he never expected that the emperor was actually deceiving himself! Ya didn't know that she had a separate conversation with Wu Bozong!

"He wants to say that we have become the public enemy of the world's scholars, and the public enemy is the public enemy, anyway, we can see it clearly, after a hundred years, we will definitely be scolded to death by them." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered and said:

"Since we all regard us as public enemies, then we have nothing to be polite about, killing one is killing, killing 10,000 is also killing! Whoever is against it will go to Chen Qianfu as a companion, and if you kill all the opponents, no one will object! ”

"Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to die!" Zeng Tai saw that he had poked such a big hole, and he couldn't care about it so much. Hurriedly raised his neck and raised the bar loudly:

"First of all, Wu Zhuangyuan said drunken words, and drunken words can't be counted! Secondly, he is the first champion of the founding of the Ming Dynasty, and the emperor can't move him just because of a few complaints, which will damage the face of the Ming Dynasty! Third, he is the head of the East Palace, and if he moves, he will inevitably implicate a large number of people, and even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will be troubled by rumors! ”

"You say, go on." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "If there is a fourth, we may spare him." ”

"Fourth...... "How can Zeng Tai have a fourth?" But at the critical moment, suddenly the envoy of the 'Lilliputian Kingdom' crossed in front of him, and immediately said loudly:

"There are bigger things to deal with now, and they urgently need to be dealt with by the emperor!"

"Oh, what's the deal?" Zhu Yuanzhang said expressionlessly: "Can we put down this head and take care of that head first?" ”

"This is no trivial matter related to the national body." Zeng Tai hurriedly met the envoy of the Cham State before entering the palace, and wanted to beat the drum to ask for a meeting, and was frustrated by the imperial history, and told the emperor the original story.

Strive to have a voice and emotion, so as to divert Boss Zhu's attention as much as possible.

It seemed that the effect was not bad, so I saw Zhu Yuanzhang frowning and said, "You say, the Cham envoy has been coming to Nanjing for half a year?"

"Yes, according to what the envoy said, they are here to congratulate the emperor on his birthday, and it is almost the Mid-Autumn Festival in a blink of an eye." Zeng Tai wiped his sweat.

"Bastard!" Zhu Yuanzhang was really angry and said: "Why has it been so long, and no one has told me about it?" ”

This is indeed a great deal. But here is Boss Zhu, not because it is detrimental to the national body, but because it is because of blinding the Holy Hearing!

"Go, call us the prince, the General Political Division, the Zhongshu Province, the Ministry of Rites, and the Honglu Temple!" Zhu Yuanzhang gritted his teeth and said: "We have to see which section dares to block the news and block the inside and outside!" ”

~~

Kung Fu for a meal, the prince, and Zuo Er, the prefect of the relevant provincial temple, all responded to the call and listened to Boss Zhu's anger.

"Let's ask one by one now, and you will answer whether you know or not, don't talk nonsense, do you understand?" Then Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice.

"Understood." The ministers hurried to claim yes.

"Prince, did you know that the Cham kingdom came to do this?" Zhu Yuanzhang slowed down and asked his eldest son.

"I don't know." Zhu Biao shook his head.

"Okay." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded unexpectedly, and asked Li Chen and Cheng Jilong, the envoys of the left and right, "Does the General Administration Department know?" ”

"I don't know." The two shook their heads together.

"What about Zhongshu Province?" Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze moved to Hu Weiyong.
