Nothing to say all the way.

Half a month later, Zhu Liang's grandfather and son were escorted into Beijing by Jinyiwei.

Zhu Yuanzhang did not summon them immediately, but issued an order to order all the noble generals to return to Beijing except for urgent tasks.

So, after another half a month, in addition to Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, who guarded Beiping, the other six dukes, Li Shanchang, the Duke of Korea, Li Wenzhong, the Duke of Cao, Feng Sheng, the Duke of Song, Tang He, the Duke of Xinguo, Chang Mao, the Duke of Zheng, Deng Zhen, the Duke of Shen, and most of the marquises, all rushed back to the capital.

On the first day of August, more than 20 marquis of the six princes all wore court clothes and appeared outside You'an Gate, waiting for the court with hundreds of civil and military officials.

Many of them had just rushed back to Beijing yesterday and had not yet had time to meet. They haven't seen each other for a year or two, or even three or four years, and it's natural to have a greeting when they meet again at this time.

However, no one dared to be too presumptuous, because the emperor suddenly recalled them back to the capital, something big must have happened, and no one at this juncture wanted to hit the muzzle of the gun.

"Do you know why the emperor suddenly called us back?" Ji Anhou looked worried. Since Hu Weiyong's case, he has not slept well for a day, for fear that one day someone will suddenly come to the door and arrest him back to the capital to ask for the crime.

"Isn't it for Zhu Liangzu's business?" The princes asked strangely: "He has been arrested for so long, don't you know?" ”

"Hearsay, I haven't seen the newspaper." Ji'an Hou said: "Now the news is very closed. ”

"Don't worry, it's none of your business." Song Guogong patted him on the shoulder and said with a meaningful smile: "Maybe I will send you to take over as his general Zhengnan." ”

The princes laughed in a low voice.

"Brother Song, you will make fun of me." Ji Anhou was not annoyed, firstly, Feng Sheng's status was there, and secondly, he was sure that there was nothing wrong with him, and it was too late for him to be happy.

"What did Yongjiahou do?" Jiang Xiahou Zhou Dexing asked in a low voice.

"I just heard that something happened to him. The emperor sent the King of Chu, Lan Yu and Wang Bi to do things together in Liangguang. Gongchang Marquis Guo Xing replied: "So something must have happened." ”

"Isn't this nonsense, can a small matter be used by a king and two marquis to go out together?" Everyone laughed.

"Cao Guogong, you must know, reveal it to the brothers, and we also have a good heart." The princes looked at Li Wenzhong, who had a sick face.

"Ahem, I'm recuperating at home for a while, and I haven't asked much about the court......" Li Wenzhong coughed twice, but he still knew more than them.

"I heard that it seems that he indulged his subordinates to do a lot of illegal things, and was collected by a magistrate who called Daotong and wanted to impeach him. He rushed ahead with 800 miles, and sued the same situation first, but the emperor was angry and ordered Daotong to be executed, but fortunately, the king of Chu arrived in time to save Daotong. ”

As he spoke, he coughed twice and said, "Right, Master? ”

"Almost." Li Shanchang nodded, his comeback this time is simply low-key home, except for going to work on weekdays, the door is not out of the door, and no one can see the post.

"After knowing the truth, the emperor was very angry, and the consequences were very serious."

"Yes, this Zhu Liangzu is really bold, playing with borrowing a knife to kill people, and actually borrowing a knife to the emperor." Everyone nodded: "It's really a death." ”

"But he shouldn't be dead, right?" Although Fei Ju doesn't like Zhu Liangzu very much on weekdays, he doesn't want him to die at this time.

"Although the crime of bullying the king deserves death, it is not considered a rebellion." The princes also thought the same thing, and they all looked at Han Gong together, wanting Big Brother to give an authoritative explanation.

"Even if it's a capital crime, you can be exempted with iron coupons, right?"

"......" Li Shanchang pondered for a long time and said vaguely: "Probably." ”

"What do you mean?" The princes were not satisfied, and Wu Liang, the Marquis of Jiangyin, said in disbelief: "The iron coupon was designed by you at the beginning, how can you not know how to use it?" ”

"Yes, the rules are made up by the old man, but ......" Li Shanchang paused and explained in words:

"In the end, it depends on the emperor."

"The emperor also has to admit it, it was engraved on the iron piece and given to us by himself, can you still deny it?" The princes said one after another.

"That's right." Li Shanchang nodded, how could he openly contradict and question the emperor's authority now?

At this time, the noon bell rang and slowly opened, and he smiled at the princes: "Let's not guess here, hurry up and go to the court, we will know." ”

"Hey, okay." The princes also hurriedly stopped, stood still according to the shift, and followed the team into the Forbidden City.

~~

In front of the Fengtian Gate, the guard of honor was complete, and the golden platform curtain was set up.

In the greeting of the tsunami of Baiguan Mountain, Zhu Yuanzhang steadily walked up to the golden platform and sat down on the dragon chair.

Today he did not let Eunuch Wu preside over the court meeting, but went into battle in person.

"You should have heard that we withdrew our general Zhengnan before the war." Zhu Yuanzhang said in a deep voice: "Guangxi's army will not be able to move in a few months. ”

Although Zhong Wenwu had heard about it a long time ago, he still couldn't help but show a look of shock.

"You must be very curious, what kind of heavenly rule did Zhu Liangzu do, provoking us to change the commander at this juncture." I heard the emperor slowly continue: "It just so happens that we have already asked Jinyiwei to escort him into Beijing, let him tell you himself." ”

After speaking, Boss Zhu ordered in a deep voice: "Bring the two men up." ”

"Yes!" The person with the knife answered, and brought Zhu Liang's grandfather and son who were waiting in the side hall.

The two of them did not suffer any crimes on the road, Zhu Xian also recovered from his injuries, and looked much healthier than when he left Guangzhou.

As soon as the father and son came to the palace, they quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed, apologizing.

Zhu Yuanzhang held the jade belt in both hands, and said expressionlessly: "Tell me yourself, what crime you have committed." ”

"Yes." Zhu Liangzu kowtowed heavily, then snorted and cried, and told what he had done in Guangzhou.

These things have already been verified and reported, and it is useless for him to hide them, and he will anger the emperor again, and he will not even have the opportunity to fight for leniency.

Therefore, Zhu Liangzu's explanation was honest, and all the officials were dumbfounded when they heard it, and they all knew that the emperor of Guangdong Tiangao was far away, and Zhu Liang's grandfather and son must be very presumptuous over there. But it's not so arrogant that he kills people and sets fires in the provincial capital, robs people's girls on the street, colludes with pirates, resells arms, smashes the county office, pees in the lobby, and hangs people from the county to beat them, right?

It's arrogant to the sky.

"Anything else?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked quietly.

"And, there's more." Zhu Liangzu was so stunned that he didn't dare to speak.

"Dare to do it, what kind of hero is it." Zhu Yuanzhang sneered: "You don't dare to say it, let's let someone say it for you." ”

After speaking, Boss Zhu ordered Zeng Tai, the imperial historian, to find out that Zhu Liangzu had the evidence that Daotong had resold his arms, so he sent someone to burn the county government in an attempt to destroy the evidence. He was afraid of being denounced by Daotong, so he fabricated a crime, and the wicked person sued first, wanting to kill Daotong by the hand of the emperor.

Although he had repeatedly learned about the case, Boss Zhu was still furious when he heard it, slapped the armrest of the dragon chair heavily, gritted his teeth and said: "It's against the sky, and I won't atone for my sin!" ”
