Early the next morning, the fourth and sixth came together and went into the palace to say goodbye.

The hundred officials are still closed in the Jinyi Guard's yamen, and they can't be released every day to go to the court, so there is no early court today. But Boss Zhu still got up early, and he had been working for an hour when the brothers came.

"Did my father sleep well last night?" The two brothers asked earnestly.

"Of course, it's been a long time since I've slept so well." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said with some regret: "It's just half an hour late, a waste of time." ”

"......" The two brothers were speechless, they had just gotten up for half an hour, and the physique of people and people really couldn't be generalized.

"You two are here to close the case, aren't you?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked without raising his head.

"Yes." The sixth man hurriedly said: "What was promised at the beginning has to be fulfilled." ”

"Hmm." Boss Zhu nodded and said: "The performance of the ministers and workers yesterday was not bad, and we also said it at the court meeting, it seems that there are not many Hu parties." Hurry up and close the case, and let them go back on an errand. ”

"Yes, Father." The two brothers hurriedly responded, and asked again: "Hu Dang's list, has my father set it?" ”

"Well, it's pretty much settled." Boss Zhu nodded and said, "Since we all said so, we won't delve into it this time." Only counting those who have conclusive evidence and collusion with Hu Weiyong, there are only fifteen or sixteen in total. ”

For Boss Zhu, who has always been ruthless, this number is indeed a great mercy to his subordinates.

As he spoke, he took out a yellow note from under a stack of pieces and handed it to the two of them.

The fourth and sixth children took it and looked at it together. The eyes are full of traces of smearing and modification, which shows how many intestines the old man has poured out......

I saw that there were only 16 people who were finally condemned as Hu Dang. Among them are Chen Ning, who died, as well as Ding Yu, Tu Jie, Peng Geng, Shang Wei, Xue Xiang, Lin Xian, Zheng Jiucheng, Wu Bozong, Dai Liang, Su Boheng, Hu Han, etc., who have been dismissed......

There are no noble generals who have a deep collusion with him, nor many central and local civil officials, not even Xu Duo.

The fourth child was inevitably a little disappointed when he saw it, he hated Wu Liang and Lu Zhongheng so much, and thought that he could involve a few of them this time, but he didn't expect them all to escape.

"The people of the Marquis of Ji'an and the Marquis of Jiangyin are clearly the hardcore Hu Party," he said indignantly.

"Last winter, they got together with Hu Weiyong all day long to conspire, slander their father, and plot rebellion. How could the father let them go? ”

"Evidence, do you have conclusive evidence?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked in a deep voice.

"Arrest them and interrogate them like Beijing officials, don't worry about having no evidence!" The fourth said hatefully.

"No, to kick them out of the Governor's Mansion last year and send them to the local area for military training is tantamount to banishing them." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and said: "No matter how hard you chase after you, you will be said that our masters will be killed." At that time, everyone in the army was in danger, and the war was stagnant. ”

"The big war is coming, so the army should first focus on stability." Zhu Yuanzhang slowly set the tone.

"Yes......" The fourth child reluctantly responded.

"Father," the sixth child also questioned at this time, "this is the last Song Shen above...... It's Song Lian's grandson, right? ”

"That's right." Zhu Yuanzhang said lightly: "Song Shen is Song Lian's eldest grandson, his father Song Zhan, was sent to Wusizang by us before, and was recalled by Zhongshu Province last month, ready to be appointed as a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, do you know why?" ”

"I heard that Song Lian agreed to the marriage of Song Shen and Hu Weiyong's niece and granddaughter, so Hu Weiyong called Song Zhan back to work on the marriage." The fourth child said immediately.

"And the marriage of the two families was decided on the night when Song Lian returned to Beijing." Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at the sixth child and said coldly: "Do you understand now?" ”

"And this?" The sixth child has been focusing on education for the past six months, and he really lacks understanding of these things.

Boss Zhu asked the fourth child to explain the details of the time to him...... The last time Song Lian entered Beijing was because of the status of Confucius and Confucianism, and on the day he entered Beijing, he was just in time for the civil officials to kneel at the door. He first went to Chunhe Palace to meet the prince, and then went home overnight to discuss countermeasures with Dai Liang, Su Boheng and others.

In the middle of the night, Hu Weiyong suddenly came to Song Lian's mansion and discussed with them until the third watch before leaving. Before leaving, he took Song Shen's hand and settled this family affair with Song Lian. The fourth said in a deep voice: "Song Shen kowtowed on the spot and called Hu Weiyong grandpa......"

"That's ......" The sixth child nodded abruptly and said, "Then this grandson is really dead." ”

But in fact, when he saw the names of Dai Liang, Su Boheng, and Hu Han, as well as Zheng Jiucheng and Xue Xiang, he knew that this was the old man's settling accounts after the autumn...... In that vigorous February turmoil, how could it be that only one official of the Ministry of Rites was dismissed and settled?

For him personally, this is a welcome result. These Confucians not only criticized him verbally and penally in February, but also did not stop for half a year, staring at Guozi University all the time. Dig out the hollow and pick the bones in the eggs.

What's even worse is that they also do everything they can to put pressure on the families of college students through local forces, forcing them to drop out. For example, spreading rumors and smearing that the waterlogging disaster this year is because the earth is round for professors and students at Guozi University, which has aroused the wrath of God......

is also the old six blood thick and high resistance, but if they change someone else as this sacrificial wine, they will have already let them do it.

The most hateful thing is that it is difficult for you to find the culprit buried behind these things, just like a lion can't help mosquitoes, and he can't do it. Now that Boss Zhu has designated these people as Hu Dang, it will definitely greatly reduce his pressure.

"But the problem is, Song Lian is the eldest brother's mentor, and it's not good for the eldest brother to be involved?" That's what the sixth is worried about.

"We're doing it for his good." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Get rid of the ill-intentioned people around him, so that he can travel lightly and no longer have to be in a dilemma." ”

"But it's impossible for the eldest brother to watch his teacher get killed." The fourth child also helped.

"You don't have to worry about this matter, we'll talk to the boss in person." Zhu Yuanzhang didn't want to talk to them about this topic.

"You just have to do it."

"Yes, Father." The fourth child had no choice but to respond in a muffled voice. It's impossible for the sixth child to stand up to the old man for those people, he is not so cheap. was silent and followed the fourth brother to retire.

After the two left the Qianqing Palace, they went straight to the Chunhe Palace and told the eldest brother about their father's decision.

The prince was also quite surprised when he heard this, but he didn't expect that Mr. Song would also be put into the list of the Hu Party.

"You wait here for a while, I'll go and talk to my father and see if I can take Mr. Song and the others off the list." The prince set off immediately, but his heart was not very optimistic.

Father knew that Song Lian was his teacher, and Song Zan had also been in the East Palace for many years, but he still put Song Shen on the list, which must have been a deliberate decision. How easy is it to get him to change his mind?
