Chapter 157: Zhu Yuanzhang actually rewarded Lord Ye so much, and the crown prince Zhu Biao severely punished Huaixi Xungui!
Just as Zhu Yuanzhang was about to open the envelope, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Guest, your lunch has arrived."
Queen Ma then remembered that it was the door-to-door food delivery service she wanted.
On this hot day, she really didn't want to eat in a restaurant outside, so she directly ordered a door-to-door delivery service that should not be available in Tianfu.
It was only after Zhu Yuanzhang put away the envelope that Mao Xiang was asked to open the door.
After the shopkeeper set up the dishes and chopsticks, he asked for a little tip, so he pushed the cart away with a smile on his face.
Zhu Yuanzhang, in order to avoid the young men in Jinyi Wei upstairs and downstairs and in the neighborhood, also learned from Queen Ma to call for food delivery service, so he immediately called Mao Xiang to say hello one by one.
Not only could they not call for food delivery, but they could not leave to eat, and they had to wait until he had finished replying.
A moment later, Mao Xiang stood guard at the door after finishing these things.
After Zhu Yuanzhang made sure that nothing was wrong, he cautiously opened the envelope of Zhu Biao's handwritten letter.
After opening the letter, Zhu Yuanzhang never expected that there were at least ten pieces of paper, not to mention, and the words were written very small, and each piece of paper was densely packed.
Just looking at this letter that can't be finished in two hours without writing seriously, Zhu Yuanzhang knows that there is a problem in it.
If there were no problems, there would never be so much to write!
He knows him too well, and no matter what he does, he will simplify it and strive to do it in the shortest time and the most effective thing.
The feeling of being able to write a letter by simplifying it is enough to see that what Jiang Zhen and they found out is really not simple.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were directly gloomy.
Intuition told him that the truth found out in Haozhou City was most likely the song written by Ye Qing.
Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang immediately had a look of loss in his eyes.
Just as he slowly picked up the letter, Queen Ma, who was serving porridge on the side, and Mao Xiao, who was sitting with her back to the door, also looked at him in unison.
Their hearts are also very conflicted at the moment!
They don't want the truth of the truth to be the song that Ye Qing gave to Zhu Yuanzhang, and they don't want this emperor who struggled to start a business to lose face and throw him home!
But if this is not the case, then this maverick wizard Lord Ye will have to lose his life again.
This is a multiple-choice question for them, either the emperor Lao Tzu will lose face, or Lord Ye will lose his life!
If it were other mediocre talents who had no achievements, they would definitely feel that the emperor's face was more important, but the other party was Ye Qing, who had made countless achievements, and they were extremely conflicted in their hearts.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang began to read the letter seriously.
The content of the letter: "My father is above, and what is written below is the truth investigated by Jinyiwei." β
"The Duke and Earl involved in the case and his relatives, the crimes involved and the relevant data are all written in detail, and the sons' suggestions are also attached!"
β.β
In the eyes of Queen Ma and Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Yuanzhang's gaze became more and more sharp, his eyes became sharper and sharper, and the hand holding the letter became more and more trembling.
Just by seeing the third page, the redness in Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes was already dense with the whites of his eyes.
And at this very moment,
Zhu Yuanzhang directly raised a big hand high, but when the wind in his palm blew off a piece of stationery, he stopped directly.
"Bastard!"
"What a bastard!"
"The thirty dukes and earls of the founding of the country, except for Tiande (Xu Da), Mr. Li, Liu Fuzi, Bao'er (Li Wenzhong), Hua Yunlong, and Mu Ying, almost all of them were involved."
"How dare they?"
"How dare they connive at their family servants and relatives, encroach on the people's fields, and rob the people's daughters?"
"The students of Guozijian Haozhou Academy are my protΓ©gΓ©s of the Son of Heaven, and they are our students, because they can't look past it, they are ready to go to Beijing to beat the drum and complain."
"But those dogs were intercepted and killed halfway, and even our students dared to kill them!"
"We have also stipulated that all local respected old people have the right to report and expose them, and they can report them at any time, but they even intercepted and killed the old people in the countryside who went to Beijing to complain!"
β.β
In the eyes of Mao Xiang and Queen Ma,
Zhu Yuanzhang may have left Ye Qing, but Rao is such a huge case did not make him angry.
His voice wasn't loud, and in terms of volume, it was like an ordinary feeling.
But his eyes were full of murderous intent, the way he gritted his back molars to speak, and his gloomy voice was enough to prove that he had aimed the butcher's knife at Huaixi Xungui.
After saying this, Zhu Yuanzhang smiled self-deprecatingly and coldly: "We still think that we are all brothers who fight the world with us, and we are all our fellow countrymen." β
"The people of Haozhou City are not only our villagers, but also their villagers, they should also be like us, live well on their own, and find some way to let the villagers get a little light."
"They just don't have a conscience, and they won't fish their own folks!"
"When we were young, we were all poor people who grew up eating hundreds of meals, and after only a few days of being a master, we began to fish and meat our own villagers?"
Speaking of which, Zhu Yuanzhang really couldn't help but be angry if he didn't want to.
"They don't have a face, Lao Tzu still has a face!"
"Yes, very good!"
"If they disgrace us, we will let them lose their lives!"
Speaking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked directly at Mao Xiang, he originally wanted Mao Xiang to arrange someone to go back quickly to deliver the decree, but he found that he was there with his head down and snickering.
Despite snickering extremely inconspicuously, he was caught.
"General Mao, your Lord Ye won, you're very happy, aren't you?"
When Mao Xiang heard this, he immediately came to him and knelt down in front of him and said, "Master, no, Your Majesty, the minister didn't mean that." β
Zhu Yuanzhang doesn't want to care about these for the time being, he just wants to kill people now, and he just wants to kill people one by one according to their genealogy.
Zhu Yuanzhang coldly ordered: "Let the two people sent by the prince to deliver the letter rest, and send two good ones, hurry up and go back to pass on our message!" β
"The Ministry of Punishment and the Dali Temple."
But at this moment, a bowl of porridge with the fragrance of rice was slapped into his mouth by Queen Ma.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Queen Ma in front of him and said suspiciously: "We're dealing with business, what do you mean?" β
"Drink porridge, I'll tell you after drinking porridge!"
Zhu Yuanzhang can't do anything about his mother-in-law, and he never defends himself, she lets him drink porridge.
Zhu Yuanzhang took a big sip, but the next moment, his eyes widened, but he was still reluctant to spit it out, after all, this is his sister-in-law's hot love for him!
He just inhaled with his mouth open, and after air-cooling the hot porridge in his mouth, he swallowed it in one gulp.
Zhu Yuanzhang glared at Queen Ma and said, "You mother-in-law, you want to burn us to death, right?" β
Queen Ma just bent down to pick up the letter on the ground, and then rearranged the letter written by his son for Zhu Yuanzhang.
At the same time, she said unhurriedly: "You haven't finished reading the letter, and you're going to let the Criminal Department and Dali Temple kill people?" β
Zhu Yuanzhang just snorted coldly: "There is more than innocent death!" β
Queen Ma nodded and said, "They are indeed innocent, but you have to think about the case, what should you do?" β
"You also said that the thirty princes and earls of the Three Kingdoms, except for a few of them, almost all of them were involved."
"By the way, did Hu Weiyong get involved?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said with deep eyes: "Our right prime minister is very shrewd, and it's none of his business." β
After hearing this, Queen Ma, like Zhu Yuanzhang, not only did not feel happy, but also felt a little worried.
It's not good for a person to be too clean, especially someone who works with her family!
But Empress Ma also knew that now was not the time to focus on Li Shanchang and Hu Weiyong, but to find a way to deal with these dukes and counts.
This case must be handled, but it must not be handled like his family's Chonghachi!
Thinking of this, Queen Ma immediately said to Zhu Yuanzhang: "This case must be handled, but it must not be handled ruthlessly without leaving a way back as you just said." β
"Heavy eight, the porridge is hot when you drink it, you have to drink it slowly!"
"Okay, I'll remind you here, you read this letter calmly, and then reply to your son with a letter, not only to be strict, but also to leave a way out."
Speaking of this, Queen Ma smiled again and said, "Also, I think General Mao is right to laugh!" β
"I want to laugh too, you have lost face, but you have a great loyal minister who dares to be the enemy of all Huaixi nobles!"
When Zhu Yuanzhang heard this, he completely calmed down.
After calming down, he also looked in the direction of the county government and smiled.
I have to say that her sister-in-law is right, he Ye Qing dares to ask for the people's life in this way, which is enough to prove that he is a bold and loyal minister.
But as soon as he thought of the anger he let himself suffer, he wanted to say that he Ye Qing was a 'daring loyal minister'.
"We're losing!"
"We lost face, he saved his life, and we have to reward him."
"Let us think about it, what should we reward him?"
"He has more money than us, and his property will be free, let us think slowly."
As soon as the words fell, he began to calmly read the letter that Zhu Biao wrote to him.
At the moment when he finished reading the letter, he immediately closed his eyes again.
The letter that Zhu Biao wrote to him was what Zhu Biao wanted to say to him, and the letter he was going to reply to Zhu Biao was what he was going to say to Zhu Biao.
The two blended in his mind, and it directly became a scene of a meeting and discussion between father and son.
In Zhu Yuanzhang's mental world,
Zhu Biao said: "Father, there are many people involved in the case this time, not only the founding heroes, but also Zhongshu Province, Yushitai and state capitals and counties. β
"Erchen thinks that it should be done strictly, but it can't be too strict!"
"The barbarian yuan has ruled incompetently for a hundred years, and there are not many talented people, and it is precisely because of this that my father only held one scientific examination, and then stopped taking the examination to promote learning."
"It's only been six years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, if we directly bloody the officialdom, we will definitely be scared to drop out, and it will even affect the current official recommendation system!"
"Erchen thinks that those relatives and servants involved in the case should be paraded in Haozhou City to show the public, beheaded at the entrance of the vegetable market, and return justice to the people!"
"The embezzled acres of land will be returned to the people, and the stolen women will be returned to their families, and they will be asked to pay heavy compensation!"
"As for those dukes and earls, let them write a petition for the crime to be archived, the one who should be punished is the one who should be punished, and the one who should be fined!"
"In this way, it can be regarded as giving justice to the people of Haozhou, beating the honorable officials, demonstrating the power of the father, and not making the world's gentlemen afraid."
"If they commit it again, even if they destroy them, the people of the world will not be able to blame His Majesty the Emperor."
"Finally, Erchen asks Your Majesty to reward the Yanmen Magistrate who asked for his life for the people, Lord Ye Qingye!"
Zhu Yuanzhang just nodded and said, "Just do as you say!" β
"Lord Ye is not short of money, and the reward of wealth is exempt, you face the civil and military in front of you, and emphasize that Lord Ye is not afraid of the powerful and upright."
"Especially the words 'not afraid of the powerful', you have to find a way to make a big fuss about praise, and you have to beat those guys' boards, and after slaughtering those guys' hometown relatives, praise them in front of them."
"In this way, his Ye Qing's backers are only our father and son!"
"Finally, you write a commendation edict in our name, and the content of the edict must let Ye Qing know, let's praise him for asking for his life for the people in front of Huaixi Xungui, and sue Huaixi Xungui."
"After I finish writing, it will be delivered in an expedited manner for eight hundred miles!"
Thinking of this,
Zhu Yuanzhang opened his eyes and smiled, smiling with a little bit of 'conspiracy succeeded'.
In his opinion, after he praised him like this, Ye Qing was the only one on his head, Zhu Yuanzhang.
As long as there is no problem with the agricultural tax on Ye Qing, he will let Ye Qing come to the court to be an official.
At that time, he, Ye Qing, looked at the hostile gaze of the Manchu Dynasty's civil and military forces, and he would definitely be loyal to him from the bottom of his heart.
Not only that, but he can also change his eloquence at once.
Just thinking about it like this, he can't wait to praise himself with a sentence of 'ginger is still old and spicy'!
A moment later,
Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang write a reply to Zhu Biao, and it was called a smooth flow.
Looking at this scene, she knew that her family Chongba had not only thought of a way to punish them, but also a way to reward Ye Qing.
After lunch, two plainclothes brocade guards went out of the city with Zhu Yuanzhang's reply.
Halfway through the afternoon unitary,
Zhu Yuanzhang and his entourage all came to Yanmen Guandongmen Bianmao Street as promised!
Ask the officials to chase the support, in addition, after twelve o'clock, it will be the beginning of the month again, please see the officials, the monthly pass to this side a little bit, thank you. Immediately cut into the climax of the plot of Zhixian, the author will definitely try his best to write it well!
