Of course, there are many big things, and they pull Lao Zhu's blood pressure one by one.

Li Qing weighed it for a moment and decided to say it in order.

"Xiaobiao, your daughter-in-law is about to give birth, right?" Li Qing looked at Zhu Biao.

Zhu Biao sighed in his heart, it's broken, shouldn't my daughter-in-law have something to do?

He said with a sense of concern: "Uncle is really a god, and my nephew's daughter-in-law is indeed about to give birth." ”

"In the seventh year of Hongwu, that is, on October 27 this year, the crown princess Chang gave birth to the emperor's eldest grandson and gave him the name Zhu Xiongying."

As soon as Li Qing's words fell, Lao Zhu and Zhu Biao were suddenly overjoyed.

"What did we say? Sure enough, it's the eldest grandson! Lao Zhu raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "Our daughter-in-law is so good!" ”

At this time, Lao Zhu had not yet arranged the family tree, so there was no rule of gold, wood, water, fire and earth in the back, so the most special one of Zhu Xiongying's grandchildren also showed Lao Zhu's preference for this eldest grandson.

Ignoring the happy two, Li Qing continued: "In the ninth year of Hongwu, the empty seal case broke out, implicating thousands of officials. ”

The so-called "empty seal" is to pre-stamp the seal on the document, and then fill in the specific content when needed. There is also controversy over the time, there are eight years of Hongwu, nine years of Hongwu or fifteen years of Hongwu, but in the "History of the Ming Dynasty" volume 139 "Zheng Shili's Biography with Fang Wei Biography" recorded, "Fang Zheng was demoted to Qinyang Yicheng because of this case, and in the thirteenth year of Hongwu", he was arrested in Beijing and died. Therefore, there are great doubts about the statement of Hongwu's fifteenth year.

"Kill! Well done! Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and said: "During the Mengyuan period, the bureaucrats took advantage of this to cheat, and the use of empty seals is undoubtedly to open the door to corruption!" ”

Dare to embezzle? Watch me send the inspector (the predecessor of Jinyiwei) to send you to heaven one by one!

Although Zhu Biao on the side didn't speak, looking at his eyes, he seemed to think that what Lao Zhu said was fine.

Li Qing continued: "In the tenth year of Hongwu, the side concubine Lu gave birth to a son, named Zhu Yunwen. ”

This one is even more heavyweight.

"Wow, wow!" Lao Zhu sighed with emotion, looked up at Zhu Biao, and suddenly asked suspiciously, "Lu Shi?" Why don't we remember that there is a person surnamed Lu in your harem? When did you snuck it in? ”

"That should be accepted in the future, Dad, didn't you intend to let the daughter of the Lu Ben family enter the East Palace?" Zhu Biao replied with a smile.

Lao Zhu remembered it at this time, he laughed and didn't say anything more.

"On November 10 of the 11th year of Hongwu, the crown princess Chang gave birth to her second son, named Zhu Yunxi." When Li Qing said this, he looked at Zhu Biao with a little pity.

Zhu Biao chuckled in his heart, it's broken, it's broken...... What kind of eyes are these?

Lao Zhu didn't pay attention, and was still applauding there.

Applaud? You won't be able to call it out right away.

"Eleven days later, the crown princess Chang left Zhu Yunxi, who was still in infancy, and died at the age of twenty-four......"

*Grief from Zhu Biao +10000

Hearing this, Zhu Biao's legs weakened and sat on the ground with a plop.

Lao Zhu's smile also froze on his face, the crown princess Chang is not just his daughter-in-law, but also the daughter of his old brother Chang Yuchun. Before his brother died, he made a wish to others that he would not let his daughter be wronged, but what was the result?

"Ah Mei, Ah Mei ......" Zhu Biao's eyes were blank, and he muttered his nickname to Chang's in his mouth.

There was no time for Chang to mourn, and the one who was about to arrive at the battlefield was-

Li Qing continued: "Only four years after the death of Princess Jingyi, that is, in May of the fifteenth year of Hongwu, Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor, died of illness at the age of eight. ”

*Grief from Zhu Biao +5000

*Grief from Zhu Yuanzhang +10000

"Our daughter-in-law, our eldest grandson!" Lao Zhu wailed, but fortunately, Li Qing was prepared early in the morning and was not frightened.

"Maybe it's because the eldest grandson died young, and he ...... on the Bingxu day of August in the fifteenth year of Hongwu three months later" Li Qing couldn't bear to say it a little, but for the sake of Lao Zhu, he gritted his teeth and continued: "The queen died of illness at the age of fifty-one. ”

*Grief from Zhu Biao +10000

*Grief from Zhu Yuanzhang +50000

*Grief from Zhu Yuanzhang +50000

Lao Zhu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe that his sister left him early. Zhu Biao was also stunned and didn't say a word.

Li Shimin really couldn't look at it, he really empathized with Lao Zhu after experiencing the early departure of his beloved woman. He stepped forward and reached out to comfort Lao Zhu on his back.

This can be regarded as the empathy of a former widower for a future widower.

"Girl! Girl! Our girl! Lao Zhu hugged Li Shimin and cried loudly.

Lao Li sighed and comforted Lao Zhu,

This is the only time Zhu Biao saw Lao Zhu shed tears.

"Mother......" Zhu Biao's whole person seemed to have been slung out of his spine, and he softened into a pile and leaned on the legs of the chair.

Li Qing sighed, did not stop, and continued: "In the eighteenth year of Hongwu, Guo Huan, the head of the household department, and others colluded with the officials of various provinces to cheat and steal and sell official grain. After the matter was exposed, it attracted the attention of the world because of the huge amount of money involved and the far-reaching impact, in this regard, the emperor ordered that the six or so servants and below were executed, and tens of thousands of people were implicated in the execution. ”

Li Shimin couldn't help but be in awe, ruthless or your old Zhu ruthless......

I have half the ruthlessness of your old Zhu...... Oh, I'm also very ruthless, at least he can't shoot the arrow of the eldest brother.

"Guo Huan, right!" Lao Zhu gritted his teeth and grinded his teeth to suck blood, and the dragon's eyes were full of vicious resentment.

It seems that he has transferred the negative emotions of his dead grandson and wife to Guo Huan.

I hope Guo Huan's nine clans are okay......

Li Qing didn't say much, and there was another critical blow head-on.

On April 25, the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, the prince Zhu Biao died of wind and cold, and in August, he was buried on the east side of the filial piety tomb, and he was called "Prince Yiwen". ”

Hearing this, Lao Zhu couldn't bear the blow anymore, and fainted with a hiccup.

"Daddy!" Zhu Biao was in the mood to mourn his death, so he moved to Lao Zhu's side, for fear that his father would not be able to bear the blow and something would happen.

Li Shimin shook Lao Zhu twice, Lao Zhu woke up faintly, and when he saw Zhu Biao with a concerned face in front of him, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Biao'er!" ”

"Cry a lot, isn't there a virtuous brother?" Li Shimin immediately reminded Lao Zhu: "He can bring back your parents, and he still has to save your children, grandchildren and mother-in-law?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" Lao Zhu immediately got up, "We're all confused, Immortal Master, please save our family......"

Saying that Lao Zhu was about to kneel, Li Qing immediately mixed him up: "Don't mind, isn't this just outside?" Since I told you, it means that there is salvation, and you can rest assured. ”

"Thank you, brother, thank you, brother, I'll kowtow to you......" Lao Zhu smiled hesitantly, smiling like Li Yunlong.

Li Qingqing can see that Lao Zhu is a donkey-faced, and the change is quite fast. One second it was still dead or alive, and the next second it was raining and the sky was clear.

"Empty-headed." Li Shimin pouted: "When the virtuous brother saved my Guanyin, in order to thank him, I married my sister to him......"

"Your sister?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Li Qing and then at Li Shimin: "Just your sisters, the children are all older than the virtuous brothers, what's the matter, do you want the old cow to gnaw the tender grass?" ”

At the end, he suddenly said, "It's your eldest sister who disappeared when she was sixteen years old, right?" That's not a loss, it's not a loss......"

"But we don't have anything to repay the virtuous brother." Lao Zhu was a little melancholy again.

"Hey, let's all buddies, what do you say?" Li Qing smiled and said, "Brothers, don't worry too much about this...... Let's move on? ”

"Yes, yes, yes." After thinking that Li Qing was an immortal, Lao Zhu was not so sad. He wiped his tears and said to Li Qing: "That standard is dead...... After that, which grandson of ours should be the prince, is it Yun Xi or Yun Xi? ”

"After the death of Princess Jingyi, the eldest straightened the Lu family, and Zhu Yunwen became the eldest grandson justifiably." Li Qing spread his hands: "In September of the twenty-fifth year of Hongwu, Zhu Yunwen was established as the emperor's grandson. ”

"In the twenty-sixth year of Hongwu, in order to pave the way for Zhu Yunwen, you killed the Lan family on the grounds of Lan Yu's rebellion, and connected it to Fu Youde, Feng Sheng, Wang Bi and other princes, because Lan Yu was implicated in more than 15,000 people."

"Later generations will call the Hu Weiyong case, the empty seal case, the Guo Huan case and the Lanyu case as the four major cases of Hongwu."

"Kill Blue Jade? Let's kill him Lan Xiaoer...... Oh. Lao Zhu subconsciously asked, and halfway through speaking, he understood why he wanted to kill Lan Yu.

Lan Yu is the team he left to Zhu Biao, after all, when it comes to kinship, he is the uncle of the crown princess; If it is Zhu Yunxi who succeeds to the throne, it is okay, but it is Zhu Yunxi who succeeds him, so in order to dispel Zhu Yunxi's thoughts, Lan Yu must not be able to stay.

Then Li Qing continued: "In February of the thirtieth year of Hongwu, the case of the north-south list broke out, and Liu Sanwu, a bachelor of Hanlin, presided over the palace examination, and fifty-one people were admitted when the list was issued, all of whom were students from the south. This detonated the dissatisfaction of the northern students, and the joint name was sparse. ”

"There is one thing to say, due to years of war in the north, the level of students is indeed inferior to that of the south, but even at the beginning of Hongwu, nearly one-third of the northern students were on the list, and now at the end of the Hongwu year, you tell me that none of the northern students can go up?"

"There is a saying that this is a test of Lao Zhu by Jiangnan Shidafu Group, because your physical condition was not optimistic at that time. In order to avoid the escalation of the situation, Lao Zhu, you did not make a big deal as usual, but made a will. ”

"The general meaning is, we know that your little hands are not very clean, but we don't want to make a big deal out of it, you find a way to make up for some northern candidates, and try to have a decent end to this not very decent matter."

"But Doctor Jiangnan, you also know, it is purely tearing off the left cheek and sticking it to the right cheek - one side is cheeky, and the other is shameless. Liu Sanwu and others said that they did not have any fraud at all, but they were so fair that they could no longer be fair, and the students in the north could not be on the list. ”

"Look, right, the fifty-one people on the list are all my southern students, which is very reasonable, right, that means that your northern power is not good, and it is useless to talk about anything else."

"Lao Zhu was shocked, he was shocked by the shamelessness of these Jiangnan doctors, and said that since I, an old horse, don't know the way back, then I must eradicate you villains, the chief examiner Liu Sanwu was assigned to the northwest, and the rest of the people were executed, and some were sent to exile, this is the famous 'North and South List Case'."

In June, Lao Zhu personally inquired and appointed Han Kezhong as the champion, Wang Shu as the leader, and Jiao Sheng as the Tanhua, which was for the summer list. Because the 61 people recorded are all northerners, it is also called the North Bang. ”

When Lao Zhu heard this, the green tendons on his temples burst out.

"Damn! This group of Jiangnan doctors! Since the pre-Song Dynasty, the Han people in the north have been in a state of division from the south! Hundreds of years, hundreds of years of division, let's try our best to bridge the relationship between the North and the South, they are good! Do your best to push people out! Isn't it really unpleasant to bully our knife! ”

Li Shimin also frowned, as an emperor, he was also extremely sensitive to this kind of thing, and even felt that Lao Zhu in history had done something lightly.

If he encounters this kind of thing, at least he will start with the same treatment as Yang Xuangan.

This is a giant moth that threatens the stability of the reign, and it must be dealt with hard.

"Biao'er! We told you a long time ago, don't rely too much on those who read! Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Biao viciously: "See, we're not dead, we have killed so many people, it's not an exaggeration to call it murderous!" That group of Jiangnan scholars dared to test us like this! No wonder the power of the cabinet is gradually expanding! Bah! ”

After scolding for a while, Lao Zhu suddenly asked, "Brother Xian, how did our grandson Zhu Yunwen behave after he succeeded to the throne?" ”

"Huh? How's it performing? Li Qing scratched his head and asked tentatively, "Or, let's talk about it tomorrow?" Enough information today to digest and digest? ”

"No!" Lao Zhu waved his hand, "It's okay, Brother Xian, just say it!" Let's hold on! ”

That's what you said......

He was about to speak, when he heard the sound of milk outside.

"Big brother, big brother ......"

A cute little boy ran in from outside, followed by a eunuch.

The eunuch stood at the gate of the palace and did not dare to come in, but only dared to shout from afar.

"Ouch, little ancestor, hey, slow down......"

"It's Little Twelve." Zhu Biao immediately stepped forward, hugged the child, and pinched his face: "Little Twelve, don't stay in your mother's palace, what are you doing running out?" Well? ”

"I miss my big brother, hehe." Little Twelve smiled and looked at his eldest brother with admiration.

"This is Zhu Bai, the king of Xiang, right?" Li Qing looked at the cute little child with interest and asked Lao Zhu Dao.

Lao Zhu is also quite impressive, for the good boy of Lao Twelve, he likes it the most except for the five sisters-in-law.

"Hey, Brother Xian, how did the old twelve behave after they became vassals?" Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Zhu Bai and asked happily: "This kid likes to play small, and he looks like a virtuous king's material......

Li Qing looked at Zhu Bai, who was riding on Zhu Biao's shoulder, with his teeth and claws, and subconsciously said with a hint of pity.

"You say Zhu Bai? That...... has to start with Zhu Yunwen. ”
