Chapter 22 Zhu Yuanzhang beats Hu Weiyong

"What happened yesterday?"

Lin Che recalled for a while, and quickly remembered that yesterday a Zhu Fan told him that he wanted his father to find the emperor to pardon Lin Che.

This fool can't really do that, right?

He is a capital crime of deception and disrespect.

During this time, giving a lecture to this kid in the edict must have reached the ears of the emperor.

At that time, at least there will be many charges of bewitching the public.

I am one step closer to cutting off my head.

"Your old man didn't agree, did he?"

Lin Che glanced at Zhu Fan and persuaded: "I said don't bother with that, we have to commit a capital crime, it's not as easy as you think, let's honestly wait for the beheading." ”

"Don't mind! Although my dad didn't reply, I must save my husband from prison! ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Fan mysteriously leaned into Lin Che's ear and muttered a few words.

Hearing this, Lin Che stood up and exclaimed:

"Prison break?"

……

Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang beckoned.

Prince Zhu Biao comprehended, took out a fold from his sleeve, and stepped forward to hand it to Lao Zhu.

It is the secret fold of Du Wei Maoxiang.

Zhu Yuanzhang slammed the secret fold Zhu Liangzu's face.

"You, take a closer look, and then think about where all those fields and populations of our Daming have gone!"

Zhu Liangzu picked up the secret fold from the ground, and after reading it, he realized that the emperor had already found out the bottom of these ministers clearly.

But.

Zhu Liangzu was not afraid, although the secret fold listed that he had grabbed the most fields.

But which list of civil and military officials in the court is not on it?

Even Xu Dabu, the first minister of the Ming Dynasty, grabbed hundreds of acres of land.

The head of the six princes, the Korean prince Li Shanchang, grabbed not much less than himself!

What's more, these fields were bought for their own money.

Even if some of them are snatched by ingenuity, they are handprints in black and white.

If you have no evidence, you can't just wronged people!

In order to buy these fields, he pressed his entire net worth.

It's impossible to hand it over so easily!

Wait for Zhu Liangzu to finish reading the secret fold.

Zhu Yuanzhang ordered Liu He to circulate the secret folds to the officials one by one.

When the court officials saw this secret fold, they all broke out in a cold sweat.

These people have been in officialdom for many years, and they have never seen anything.

Combined with the household data of Fu Youwen, the head of the household, and then look at the numbers on this secret fold.

They understood everything.

In the past three years, the disappeared fields and people are all related to this secret fold.

Although the secret fold only lists the data of more than 100 officials in the court.

I think there are no less than tens of thousands of officials in the Ming court.

Coupled with the fields purchased by the gentry and students, isn't this in line with the data of the household department!

There was silence in the Fengtian Temple.

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the silent officials viciously.

Walking up to Li Shanchang, he asked in a cold voice:

"Baimu, how should you deal with this matter?"

Li Shanchang thought for a while, bowed down and replied:

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there are three ways to deal with this matter: First, order the hundred officials to return or nationalize all the purchased fields."

"Second, the officials and gentry were strictly forbidden to buy and sell the land."

"Third, the tenant peasants attached to the official gentry households will be re-registered and registered, and they will be returned to their homes and archived."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, and then asked, "Do you have any other suggestions?" ”

"The old minister is old and faint, so he can only think of this."

Zhu Yuanzhang was noncommittal, and looked at Hu Weiyong behind Li Shanchang.

"Hu Aiqing, as the left minister of Zhongshu and the head of the hundred officials, what do you think about this matter?"

Hu Weiyong came out of the class and said:

"The minister agreed with the proposal of the Korean prince to return and prohibit the sale and purchase of land, and the tenant farmers to return to their homes."

"However, the minister thinks that this matter involves tens of thousands of officials in my Ming Dynasty, and it is not easy to make too much noise, so as not to make the officials panic."

"Wechen suggested that this matter should be led by my Zhongshu Province and handled with the Metropolitan Procuratorate."

"The ministers must handle this matter properly and make the emperor feel relieved."

"Hehe, let me be relieved?"

Zhu Yuanzhang sneered, and pointed at Hu Weiyong and scolded:

"You relieved me?"

"What have you been doing in Zhongshu Province all these years? There is such a big gap in the population of the fields, have you, the prime minister, reported to me? ”

"Zhongshu Province is in charge of the six departments, and they will listen to the heavens, and report some trivial things to me every day."

"Sycophancy, flattery, how can I be relieved?"

"What is the use of the book in the province? What's the use of you as a prime minister? ”

Hu Weiyong didn't expect that he wanted to pat the horse's ass, but he slapped the horse's leg.

Facing the thunderous and angry Zhu Yuanzhang, Hu Weiyong's calves were weak, and he fell to the ground with a 'plop'.

The whole body trembled like sifting chaff, and the cold sweat instantly wet the placket.

Zhu Yuanzhang stood proudly, looking at Zhu Liangzu and other nobles:

"And you, don't think that if you help me conquer the country, I won't dare to touch you!"

"I'll tell you today!"

"My country is shared with the people, not you nobles!!"

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

After a moment of silence, the hundred officials hurriedly shouted:

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear and ordered loudly:

"Someone!"

With the shout, the Han generals in the hall rushed up.

"Give me Yongjia Hou Zhu Liangzu, Ji'an Hou Lu Zhongxiang, Pingliang Hou Fei Ju, and Dongguan Bo He Rong!"

"Sent to the prison, the Criminal Department is ordered to take the lead, and the Inspectorate and Dali Temple will try it together."

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was gloomy and he gave orders.

The Han generals stepped forward one after another and took down Zhu Liangzu and others one by one.

Yongjiahou Zhu Liangzu and other nobles were not convinced, and shouted loudly:

"Your Majesty, we are the heroes who helped you lay down the country, you can't unload the mill and kill the donkey!"

"Your Majesty..."

"Your Majesty..."

Zhu Yuanzhang turned a deaf ear to the cry, and turned his eyebrows down to look at Hu Weiyong who was kneeling on the ground, with a playful expression:

"Hu Xiang, why don't you intercede for them?"

"They are your colleagues and fellow villagers!"

Hu Weiyong was so frightened that his face was close to the ground, his body fell to the ground, and he said loudly:

"The sun and the moon are bright, and there are no two days in the country!"

"Wechen swears allegiance to His Majesty and has no selfishness!"

"What Wei Chen said is from the bottom of his heart, he will never dare to deceive His Majesty, Your Majesty will be angry!"

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang was serious, where did Hu Weiyong dare to play in front of Zhu Yuanzhang, and honestly bowed his head and admitted his mistakes.

As everyone knows, Lao Zhu is waiting for his attitude, paving the way for the future.

"Where is the prince?"

Zhu Biao stepped forward quickly, came to Zhu Yuanzhang's side, bowed and said:

"Father, the son is here!"

"You come and read the decree for everyone to hear about what I do with the land annexation and the loss of the population."

"You have all remembered to me that under my rule, there is no need for flattering courtiers."

"If you can do it, you can do it honestly for us, and if you can't do it, get out of it as soon as possible! Don't get in the way! ”

The more Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, the more angry he became, and he burst out foul language.

Hu Weiyong lay on the ground, his face like ashes.

It's all said and done, and fools understand what's going on.

Han Gong is right, this emperor has long found out the bottom clearly.

Playing clever in front of him, it is himself who slaps his face in the end.

The emperor is pretending to be confused, waiting for us to drill into the set.

From beginning to end, his gang is in the calculations of others.

With that in mind.

Hu Weiyong's intestines were all repentant.
