Bongseonjeon.

The bell rings.

Hundreds of civil and military officials went to court in turn.

Since Zhu Yuanzhang established the Ming Dynasty, he ascended the throne and became the emperor.

For decades, unless you are bedridden, you must go to morning every day and never rest.

He was a very diligent emperor.

Statistics from later generations show that Lao Zhu reigned for more than 30 years, reading more than 200 pieces of music and handling more than 400 things on average every day.

This is not counting the court, meeting with the ministers, participating in various sacrifices to the heavens, ancestors and other ceremonies.

But two days ago, Lao Zhu suddenly stopped for two days.

Today's morning court, the atmosphere is very serious.

The fourth emperor's grandson, Zhu Yunxi, led his troops to slaughter the Wu family, which has caused a shock in the government and the opposition.

Suzhou's scholars in Jinling have written one after another, demanding severe punishment for this matter, and they are almost unable to suppress it.

Many people sigh about it.

His Royal Highness the Four Emperors and Grandsons are intelligent, their exports are chapters, and their poems are shocking to the world, why are they so tyrannical?

Killing without asking, killing without trial, is too much.

Others were delighted.

If His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun is fined and imprisoned because of this, will the matter of the increase in commercial tax proposed by him also be shelved because of this?

Others believe that Lao Zhu was too fond of His Royal Highness the Four Emperors and Sun before, and he was reluctant to establish a prince, for fear that he would not have the heart to make him a prince.

It is a big taboo to abolish the heirs.

Now, Zhu Yunxi has such a thing, and this worry has disappeared invisibly.

Anyway, many people think that Zhu Yunxi has done this, and Lao Zhu needs to give an explanation to the world.

Although it will not kill Zhu Yunxi because of this, he will not be able to escape from being grounded for a few years and strictly disciplined.

"Your Majesty!" An imperial historian stepped forward: "Jiang Xuan, the commander of the Jinyi Guard, was so bold that he led troops to slaughter the entire family of the wealthy businessman Wu Wanggeng as recently as he did." ”

"Early this morning, many Suzhou businessmen, scholars, and ordinary people in Jinling have already reported this matter."

"Please also ask Your Majesty to issue an order and punish him."

He did not directly mention Zhu Yunxi, but impeached Jiang Xuan.

After all, everyone knows that without Zhu Yunxi's order, Jiang Zhen would never dare to do such a thing if he borrowed 10,000 more dares.

As soon as this remark came out, other ministers also played one after another.

"I haven't heard of it, I haven't heard of it!" A minister knelt on the ground and said: "More than 100 people from the Wu family were killed, and their condition was unbearable. ”

"If this matter is not severely punished, my Ming Dynasty will be ruined."

Another minister followed suit: "Although Wu Wanggeng is only a businessman, but this person is kind and charitable, and he is quite famous in Suzhou, and the people call him a "great good man". ”

"Jin Yiwei is so unscrupulous and defies the law of the country, which is really appalling."

"If you don't behead Jiang Zheng, it is difficult to understand the law of the country; If you don't kill Jiang Xuan, it will be difficult for the people to be angry; If Jiang Zhen is not destroyed, it is difficult to explain to the people of the world! ”

"The ministers wept blood and bowed, please give a decree to the public immediately. Jin Yiwei and others were immediately arrested, handed over to the Criminal Department, and questioned in Dali Temple. ”

……

In the court, hundreds of officials spoke one after another, and after a while, they actually knelt down in a large area.

Jieyun Jiang Zhen should be damned, he should be killed.

Zhu Yuanzhang let out a faint "oh" and said, "Do you know why Jiang Zhen did this?" ”

The court suddenly fell silent.

In the middle of the night, the imperial historian who took the lead said: "It was His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun who instructed Jiang Zhen to do it. ”

"Although His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun is quite talented, he is too willful and bold, and he is bold, please ask Your Majesty to discipline him strictly."

Other ministers immediately followed.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun indiscriminately killed innocents and insulted the royal reputation, and the ministers asked His Majesty to issue a decree and confine him down."

"The father loves his son, and the father loves his grandson, and this human affection is also. Your Majesty favors His Royal Highness, and he should do it. ”

"But Your Majesty is not only the elder of His Royal Highness the Four Emperors, but also the father of the people of the world."

"Loving His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun is for private purposes, punishing lawlessness, and upholding the law of the country and the rule of the dynasty, which is for the public; Your Majesty must not be public for the sake of selfishness. ”

……

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was as usual, and he couldn't see joy and anger.

"Why is Xi'er acting like this?"

His voice sounded majestically again.

"His Royal Highness the Fourth Emperor Sun was assassinated outside the city yesterday, and after returning to the city, he led people to slaughter the Wu family, which should have something to do with it."

"However, it was a group of black-clothed people who assassinated the four emperors and grandsons outside the city yesterday, not from the Wu family."

"When the assassination was carried out, more than half of the men in black died."

"The rest have been killed."

"The ministers don't understand why His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun led troops to slaughter the Wu family."

"It's just that regardless of whether the Wu family has anything to do with this matter or not, the reason should be tried by the Yamen, and His Royal Highness the Emperor Sun killed without complaining, which is not in accordance with the procedure, but also violates the law of the Ming Dynasty, and must be severely punished."

Ying Tianfu Yin Gukuan came out of the column and said.

He had already been at odds with Zhu Yunxi, so he naturally wouldn't let go of this opportunity at this time.

Zhu Yuanzhang gave him a deep look, and his eyes moved to Zhu Fan on the side.

Speaking of which, Zhu Fan didn't need to go to court, he was just a vassal king outside.

Even if he returned to the capital and discussed matters between the DPRK and China, it had little to do with him.

Instead, he should stay away.

But for some reason, before dawn today, the palace suddenly sent someone to inform him and let him participate in today's morning court.

This woke up Zhu Zhang, who had not slept until three o'clock in the morning last night, and hurriedly changed his clothes and hurriedly came to the court.

"Heaven is rational and human desires, and national law is private." Lao Zhu asked, "Zhang'er, what do you think about this matter?" ”

Zhu Fan's heart tightened, although he was crazy and tyrannical, he was not stupid, and he knew very well how much his father valued family affection.

"Yun Xi is young and intelligent, far better than ordinary people, but his talent is inevitably arrogant, his approach is indeed very undeserved, according to the law of Da Ming, he should be severely punished."

"But he is the child of the eldest brother, how can I bear to watch him suffer and let the eldest brother be under the Jiuquan, and it will be difficult to look away?"

His tone paused, and he changed his words:

"The eldest brother has been benevolent all his life, the most important thing is to uphold the law of the country, and he always has a benevolent and righteous heart, I would never have imagined that Xi'er would be so tyrannical!"

"According to Erchen's opinion, it is better to let Xi'er go to guard the tomb for the eldest brother to do his filial piety, and let him have a good understanding of the eldest brother's benevolence."

That's a lot of talk.

It was Zhu Fan who thought about it repeatedly.

He knew that Lao Zhu valued family affection, so he played the family card and kept saying that the eldest brother's son should be taken care of!

But the proposed plan is to let him go to the mausoleum to fulfill his filial piety.

In this era, the princes and grandsons guarded the mausoleum, which was almost equivalent to a captivity.

It's even worse than being confined, because the tomb is not only locked up, but also can't have any entertainment activities, otherwise, it's unfilial.

Therefore, in history, when the new emperor ascended the throne and punished those brothers who committed crimes, he often sent them to guard the tomb and the like.

When the officials of the imperial court heard this suggestion, many people also secretly applauded.

Let Zhu Yunxi go to guard the mausoleum, then he can no longer participate in important politics, and it is impossible for him to be established as a prince again.

Zhu Fan even felt that his idea was very good, and Zhu Yuanzhang would most likely adopt it.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly became furious, and actually picked up a piece of music and slammed it on his head.

"You remember that you have a big brother!"

A thunderous roar resounded through the Fengxian Hall.
